Chapter 117: We Don't Have a Choice
[Thanks; Mr. Tangyuan's tip! Thank you also for reading the book collection! We welcome your comments! 】
Jian Chen has a strong learning ability, and he quietly pointed at Zhou Huchen with his thumb.
Zhou Huchen bowed his head slightly, and then continued to look at Zhou Yuji with an expressionless face.
"Our army's defense line is really an ornament, and Li Zicheng's army of thieves is targeting the front line in Shaanzhou, and now, we must make a countermeasure." Jian Chen opened his mouth in understanding:
Zhou Yuji looked at Jian Chen: "Please also ask Mr. to speak clearly." ”
"In the opinion of his subordinates, our army is meaningless here, there is no suspense that Li Zicheng's army will take Pingyang, and then it will go straight down to Taiyuan along the wide strip between the two mountains, and now, our army must abandon the defense line of the Yellow River to reinforce Taiyuan Fu."
Zhou Yuji began to be silent, this suggestion was undoubtedly correct, once Pingyang could not hold it, and then lost Taiyuan, he would only be left with the defense line of the Inner Great Wall. However, it was obviously not appropriate to abandon the Yellow River defense line without Cai Maode's order.
Seeing Zhou Yuji's hesitation, Zhou Huchen hurriedly added a fire: "Father, what Mr. said is reasonable, what is the use of our army holding this Yellow River defense line?" Li Zicheng's main force is estimated to be already attacking Pingyang Fucheng, and it must be Taiyuan below. Therefore, our army cannot wait here in the air, and cannot afford to lose its fighters! This line of defense is already chicken ribs! ”
Zhou Yuji thought for a while, and he looked at the generals on the side: "What do you generals think?" ”
Wu Yun, Liu Qi and others, you look at me, I look at you, and then I saw Zhou Huchen, who was constantly making his eyes and grinning his teeth.
Liu Qi stood up first: "Marshal, the battle situation is like this, our army can't sit idly by, if Master Cai is here, it is estimated that he will also make a strategy of abandoning the defense of the Yellow River." Therefore, his subordinates suggested that our army should immediately go to reinforce Taiyuan. ”
Liu Qi is Zhou Yuji's most descendant general, and among these generals, he has the most right to speak, not to mention, Jian Chen and Zhou Huchen's suggestions are completely correct, how can he support it.
Subsequently, Wu Yun and others spoke one after another. Naturally, there was a surprising unity of opinion, and they were all the same point of view, and the Yellow River defense line should be abandoned to reinforce Taiyuan.
"Okay!"
Zhou Yuji actually saw it this way in his heart, and since everyone had this opinion, he no longer hesitated: "In this case, without further ado, gather the army overnight." Early tomorrow morning, the order was given to abandon the Yellow River defense line, and our army assembled at the foot of Luliang Mountain in Fangshan County, and we galloped through Luliang Mountain in the gorge to aid Taiyuan Province. ”
Zhou Huchen has been making small moves, but how can he hide from Zhou Yuji's eyes. Zhou Yuji had no choice, if he didn't give up this chicken-ribbed Yellow River defense line, Taiyuan would probably lose soon. As for the consequences, I am afraid that it will be very serious, and the whole of Shanxi may be very dangerous.
Zhou Yuji had fought against these rogues many times, and he understood the harmfulness of these rogue armies.
These hordes of outcasts are hungry wolves, leaving nothing but life in their wake. The imperial court loses its territory and rule, and the people will be displaced after suffering, and the people who have been sacked by the bandits will have no choice, and they will become thieves under the pressure of survival. It's like a snowball, and it's for this reason that the army of outcasts is called a rogue army, and that's how they are coerced. They will empty all the places and destroy the normal production of the people, which is equivalent to a vicious circle that cannot be contained, the court will lose its dominance, and the harm to the people's livelihood is not as simple as saying it.
Jizhou.
Yan Bingtai, Gao Qiang and Sun Dayong, who were anxiously waiting, finally got the military order from Zhou Yuji and were about to retreat.
At this time, it was already the afternoon of the second day. The army of Li Guo, the general of the Great Shun System, quietly watched the Ming army on the embankment on the ice, and for two days, Li Guo did not give any order to attack at all.
The Ming army came to reinforcements, and Li Guo saw it. A thousand people have already embarrassed him, and now, the enemy has tripled, Li Guo does not dare to order an attack at all, that is undoubtedly to let his men go to death, Li Guo will not be so brainless.
This is not a matter of guts, Li Guo, the general, does not just rely on the relationship with Li Zicheng's uncle and nephew. Although Li Guo is not very old, he is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he has been invincible and invincible in recent times. Li Guo has always regarded himself as a wise general, this kind of senseless death is not his style, the loss of these soldiers must be valuable, rushing to the embankment to send him to death is obviously a brainless act, Li Guo does not think that he is such a brainless person.
The sky slowly darkened, and the sunset set on the Yellow River embankment behind him, Li Guo hesitated for a moment, he considered whether to come to a night attack. But after thinking about the consequences, Li Guo finally gave up.
"Withdraw! Come back tomorrow! ”
Shortly after Li Guo withdrew to the other side, it was dark.
It was the time of the full moon, the moonlight was bright, and if you were close to the Yellow River embankment, you could see that the cavalry of the Ming army was packing up.
As the busy cavalry packed their things, clusters of bonfires were lit on the embankment. These campfires were lit far apart, but from a distance, piles of dusk night fires stretched on the embankment. These campfires are undoubtedly the best way to decorate the night, they are so beautiful and dazzling that they look like spirits in the night.
As the bonfire stretched over the embankment, it seemed as if a figure was shaking nearby
Wang Deyong, the general who defended at the northernmost tip of the Yellow River, also began to act, but he was obviously much more relaxed than Sun Dayong and Gao Qiang, because he had no enemy in front of him, and he didn't have to look suspicious at all, he just had to withdraw directly along the Yellow River embankment.
If the road is unfamiliar, the army tends to get lost and lost in the dark. But now there is no such problem, the Yellow River embankment is undoubtedly the most haode guide, as long as the army advances along the embankment to reach Jiazhou, and then can meet Zhou Yuji's brigade at Fangshan County at the foot of Luliang Mountain.
Jiazhou is still a hundred miles away from Fangshan County, and on the third day, all the armies that rushed overnight were finally assembled at the foot of Luliang Mountain.
There is a large canyon that runs through Luliang Mountain in Fangshan County, there is a river called Beichuan River in the canyon, and the army runs along the Beichuan River to Mafang Town, and then goes all the way to the east to reach Taiyuan.
After a day's rest, the army set out.
The journey of more than 200 miles is not far in theory. However, this is in the mountains, and the roads in the mountains are intermittent and there are many ravines, so you can imagine how difficult the roads are. What's more, Zhou Yuji's army still has 10,000 friendly troops, and the marching ability of these friendly troops can only be described as miserable, and the carriages that transport supplies have become even more problematic, because the road ahead has almost disappeared.
Before the army entered the town, the roads finally made the carriages a waste, and in desperation, the carts had to be abandoned. Unloading supplies and mules and horses, there were not enough mules and horses, and the soldiers began to carry them on their shoulders. Zhou Yuji's soldiers are undoubtedly an army fed with food and harshness, no matter how difficult the road and environment are, it is not a problem for them, the soldiers are full of physical strength, have strong willpower and discipline, as for those friendly troops, they are obviously dragging their feet.
Helping each other is a tradition and an inevitability, and a difficult journey must continue no matter what
