Jia Xu was even more stunned, and said: "Is it difficult for the lord to fight Wen Chou first, but after our army annihilated Chun Yuqiong, the position is in the south, and if you attack to the north, you must first encounter Yan Liang's department, if you want to bypass Yan Liang and fight Wen Chou, you can only go back to the division plain and then go north, but this time and again, the fighter plane will definitely be delayed, I am afraid that our army has not yet attacked Wen Chou, and Yan Liang has already come to the plain city." ”

According to the intelligence, Yan Liangwen and Chou's two armies marched in parallel, separated by a distance of 100 miles, Yan Liangwen Chou did not take the same risk as Chun Yuqiong, but only marched 50 miles a day, and then camped in a village, high fence and deep trenches, strictly guarded, if you want to attack the camp in the middle of the night, there is no chance at all.

"Yan Liangwen is familiar with military books and understands the principle of step-by-step warfare, which is much stronger than Chun Yuqiong, but for the generals, they need to judge the situation and flexibly use tactics, and stick to the art of war, and they will not be far from defeat. My plan is as follows: the whole army should not break through Chun Yuqiong for more than two hours, and then wave the division to the north, seize the town of Guò Xiaqing between the Yan Liang Division, and complete the attack on the Wen Chou Department near Songzhuang, which is also a quick battle, and finally can return to the south of the division and attack the Yan Liang Division. Liu Ze said while using the flag to do war games in the sand table, the road to Qingzhen is the only straight road to attack Wenchou in the north, and the key to this battle is to pass through Qingzhen before Yan Liang's department and cannot be detected by Yan Liang.

Jia Xu said worriedly: "According to the war games, with the fastest speed of our army, we can only rush to Qingzhen before Yan Liang's army is thirty miles, that is, half a day's journey, and within the range of thirty miles, Yan Liang will definitely send scouts to spy on it, and it is not easy for our army to hide from the sky and cross the sea." And if Yan Liang's army accelerates the march, the situation will be even worse. Our army can only fight an encounter with Yan Liang in Xiaqing Town. ”

Liu Ze said with full certainty: "The problem of the scouts is very simple, the Jinying Guard has already been dispatched, and it is not difficult to clear out the scout soldiers of the Yuan army. As for speeding up the march, Yan Liang likes to stick to the rules, according to the current situation, the daily march of fifty miles is extremely strict, never more than one mile, as long as we send a suspicious army, disperse the wind to prepare to rob the camp in the middle of the night, Yan Liang will inevitably march more honestly. ”

"According to the deduction of the lord. Our army will fight three fierce battles in three days. The total march route is more than 500 miles, and the subordinates are only worried about whether the soldiers can afford to eat? ”

Liu Ze's face also became solemn, and he said: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." It's a matter of success or failure! ”

Liu Ze's method of training soldiers is the same as the training method in Phoenix Valley. It is completely different from the military training method of the Han Dynasty. The first thing to emphasize is physical fitness, and carrying a weight of 60 pounds and walking 100 miles a day is a daily regular training subject. For example, Xu Rongchen to the generals who had served in the Han army first came into contact with Liu Ze's training method was very strange, and the infantry drill was basically based on the battle formation. Every morning, the soldiers were tired and half dead from long-distance running, which greatly affected the training of the next battle formation. Infantry fights in complete formation, what's the use of running fast? Could it be that if you lose the battle, you can run fast and run for your life? But soon they understood the purpose of Liu Ze's physical training, the physical fitness of the soldiers improved, and the fighting ability was greatly improved, survival of the fittest, many unqualified soldiers were eliminated to serve as soldiers in the city defense, and the soldiers who could really fight in the field were all elite soldiers, so Liu Ze had enough confidence to face the enemy's 100,000 troops with more than 20,000 people, this self-confidence was not blind, it was completely from the elite strategy pursued by Liu Ze.

But they don't know that Liu Ze's greater self-confidence comes from the speed of this army, the speed of the soldiers, in the assault and surprise attack warfare, what the troops need is speed, the early arrival on the battlefield, you will have a step ahead of the enemy, and the balance of victory will inevitably tilt towards you. An infantry that can match the speed of enemy cavalry is an absolute nightmare for the enemy army.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Chen Zhi and others all stood up and solemnly said, "Don't worry, my lord, we will defend the plain to the death!" ”

Liu Ze ordered: "The generals listened to the order, and the whole army gathered to encircle and annihilate Chun Yu Qiongbu in the southwest of Lingxian County tonight. ”

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Chun Yuqiong's mind is very simple, that is, to capture Pingyuan City before Yan Liangwen is ugly, and he is the first to do it. Chun Yuqiong had already sent someone to find out that the defenders of Liu Ze in Plains City were only more than 20,000 people. With more than 20,000 people, Yuan Shao actually wanted to send an army of 100,000 to deal with it, and Chun Yuqiong felt that Yuan Shao was afraid of the enemy like a tiger and made a big fuss.

What made him even more angry was that Yuan Shao actually sent Yan Liang as the main general and let him be his deputy, which was simply unreasonable. I think that back then, when he was the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, Yuan Shao was the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, and he was the right lieutenant of Chun Qiongke, and he stood shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Shao. It's just that Yuan Shao later became popular, first became the leader of the Kwantung princes, and later usurped the position of Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, and became the pastor of Jizhou.

Under Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong was not reused, which made Chun Yuqiong very depressed, thinking that this Yuan Shao didn't give any face to his old friends, and it seemed that he had to fight for it. This time to attack the plains, although Chun Yuqiong was as a deputy general, but he was alone in command of the people, and before joining forces, he was not under the control of Yan Liang. This made Chun Yuqiong very excited, thinking that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come, as long as he took the lead in taking Pingyuan City, this first effort would naturally fall on his head, and Yuan Shao would definitely be rewarded when he returned to Yecheng.

So Chun Yuqiong ordered his army to go more than the road, marching at least eighty miles a day before going down to the village, and heard that Yan Liang and Wen Chou only marched fifty miles a day, Chun Yuchun secretly rejoiced, it seems that the first merit belongs to me.

Marching nearly 100 miles a day, how could the untrained Yuan soldiers withstand such a high-intensity forced march, the soldiers were miserable, complaining for days, tired and exhausted when they camped every day, and it was natural to set up camp early, and when others garrisoned at night, they were high bases and deep trenches, but Chun Yuqiong's troops were indiscriminately erecting tents, and casually tied a few branches as fences, as for the trenches and horses and other fortifications, they did not do it at all.

Captain Han Juzi reminded Chun Yuqiong that he must guard against enemy attacks on the camp at night. Chun Yuqiong laughed and said: "My 100,000 army is pressing, Liu Ze has already been scared and urinated, and now it is estimated that the turtle will not dare to come out in the plain city for half a step, you can rest assured that you can sleep well, I have 30,000 male soldiers under my command, even if Liu Ze dares to attack the camp, I will not be surnamed Chun if I don't kill him!" ”

drove all the way, and Chun Yuqiong's soldiers were already pointing directly at Ling County. Lingxian County and the plain are only more than 100 miles apart, Chun Yuqiong decided to attack the plain city tomorrow in one go, and victory already seems to beckon to him.

After such a long journey, Chun Yuqiong was also tired enough, and after a hasty dinner, Chun Yuqiong fell into the tent and fell asleep. The commander is all virtuous, and his soldiers are even more crooked, snoring like thunder, and even the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp are napping there with their spears.

When I slept until midnight, I suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the tent, people called horses and neighed, Chun Yuqiong hit a spirit, and the drowsiness disappeared, and just got up to see what was going on, the Chinese officer ran in and said in a panic: "General Chun, something is wrong!" The Plains Army is coming to attack the camp! ”

Chun Yuqiong also panicked, even the armor didn't bother to wear, picked up the spear and rushed out of the tent, looking at the situation, couldn't help but gasp, the Yuan army camp was full of fire, the plain army was like a god descending from the sky, rushing to the Yuan army camp wantonly. The soldiers of the plains held a clay pot in their hands, and threw it into the fire, the clay pot shattered, and suddenly the flames surged, and there was a zhang high, and the flames were soaring, and in the camp, the camp tents, vehicles, baggage, and equipment were all things that ignited the fire, and once the clay pot was hit, the fire immediately spread, and the whole camp was already a sea of fire at this time.

This crockpot is filled with gasoline, Liu Ze used the crockpot to make incendiary bottles of gasoline, when attacking the camp, it is much easier than firewood, grass and sulfur and other fire-causing things, and the efficiency can be increased several times.

Liu Ze led the army to arrive near the Yuan army camp in Lingxian County in the middle of the night, and the scouts sent out came back to report, Chun Yuqiong was defenseless, Liu Ze was overjoyed, if Chun Yuqiong had a trace of vigilance, this battle would still take a lot of time, but I didn't expect Chun Yuqiong to sleep like a pig, he deserved to be unlucky! Liu Ze gave an order, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun each led a group of men and horses to attack.

The attack of the Plains Army was quite smooth, and the low fence was not enough to stop their advance, and many of the sleeping Yuan soldiers were awakened by a shout of killing, and before they could climb out of the camp, their heads were cut off by sharp broadswords. More Yuan soldiers were like headless flies, rushing around the camp, scrambling for their lives, trampling on each other, and killing and wounding countless people.

As soon as Chun Yuqiong came out of the camp tent, a clay pot flew over and shattered on his camp tent, Chun Yuqiong smelled a pungent smell, and before he could react, there was a "whew" sound, and the entire camp tent was engulfed in flames. The blazing sparks splashed onto Chun Yuqiong's back, leading to his clothes. Chun Yuqiong was shocked, but the officer next to him was quick to extinguish the fire on his back.

"General Chun, withdraw quickly, if you don't withdraw, it'll be too late." The Chinese officer urged Chun Yuqiong.

Chun Yuqiong was very unwilling, and shouted: "All the armies obey the order, immediately assemble, and prepare to counterattack!" ”

There were a lot of Yuan soldiers in front of him, but they turned a deaf ear to Chun Yuqiong's orders, only caring about fleeing for their lives, and no one paid any attention to him at all. Many of the Yuan soldiers were caught on fire and crawled on the ground and rolled all over the ground, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but the ground was full of gasoline, and once it was touched, the flames immediately surrounded their bodies. Many of the Yuan soldiers let out terrible screams in the sea of fire, and finally burned to a piece of charcoal. (To be continued......)
