Chapter 345: Lost Spirit?
Summer is the mount of autumn, carrying changing clouds, sudden rain, and a blazing sun, carrying growth, maturity, and harvest, and it has also brought war to Shenyang this summer.
This summer is dry, but the arrival of Zhou Huchen's army has made the heat gradually disappear, the wind is rising, and the clouds in the sky are rolling, like stirring waves, as if depicting the scene of this great battle.
The Qing army did not defend Shenyang to the death, and this time they crossed the Hunhe River and sent troops.
Thirty miles south of Shenyang City, there is a town called Sujia Tunzi, this small town has become a battlefield, Tunzi is located not far from the south bank of the Hunhe River, and the terrain of this area belongs to the hilly transition area, the west side of the town is just the plain area, and it is also the battlefield of this battle.
The mainstay of the Great Qing Kingdom and Prince Shuoying, Azig, once again led the army to fight, although Azig was a little reluctant, but the Qing court really could not send a general who could command the army, so that Azig's leading army was full of tragic emotions.
In fact, using 60,000 troops to contain the enemy army is already extremely strong, thinking that back then, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs several times, this amount of troops was enough to gallop through the entire Ming Dynasty's Gyeonggi land, and could enter Shandong, or even further, and could also plunder the population and property like the sea at will. It's a pity that it was before, before Zhou Huchen didn't show his fangs, when Zhou Huchen grinded his teeth in Jiangnan and began to fight back, the whole situation in the world has completely changed, the way of war has also completely changed, and the bravery of the Qing warriors has no use.
Azig has been wondering, except in the pass, Zhou Huchen doesn't seem to pay much attention to the speed of soldiers after leaving the customs, although his army has been chasing after leaving the customs, but the chase is not very urgent. In Uliangha, there was no desperate pursuit, and Azig waited for a long time in Sujiatunzi to see the arrival of the Ming army. Zhou Huchen has always been the head of the word, it uses the liliang that slowly devours and has been constantly devouring the Qing army, this liliang is not only a military liliang. Also include places. And most importantly, Zhou Huchen seemed to have leveled the Mongols, and those Mongols allowed the Ming army to easily enter Liaodong within their territory.
As the Ming army began to line up in the south of Sujia Tunzi, the news near Shenyang City also reached Azig's ears, the Ming army had crossed the Hunhe River and approached Shenyang City, and Fushun, which was the back road, was surrounded into an iron bucket.
If you don't move, it's amazing!
It's so fast! Zhou Huchen really still likes the layout. His army had now set up an offensive jiashi on the east and west sides of Shenyang City, and behind Azig an army was already blockading the banks of the Hunhe River.
In the north, Zhou Huchen set aside the north of Shenyang City.
Wai Sanque one! The siege must be lacking!
"Siege the army must be que", "Sun Tzu's Art of War, Army Contention" lists one of the eight principles of using troops to fight a war. Among them, "que" means "gap" and "gap". It means to leave a gap when encircling the enemy. If the enemy is surrounded on all sides, it may prompt the enemy commander to make up his mind to fight to the death. Conversely, if a gap is deliberately left behind, it can cause the enemy commander to vacillate between flight and death, and at the same time demoralize the enemy soldiers. It is impossible to fight with peace of mind.
More importantly, leaving a gap is not left alone, but often in the preset ambush where the enemy must pass through to escape, so that the enemy will fall into an ambush circle in the process of hasty escape. Especially besieging the enemies who held the castle. Once the enemy abandons the city and flees, he can avoid the pain of siege and completely destroy the enemy army on the field battlefield. In contrast, it is obviously much less difficult to fight an enemy who has fled than it is to fight an enemy who is fighting to the death. The cost will also be much less. Ancient generals with a little brains can use this most conventional tactic, so "besieging the division must be que" is a common tactic used by generals in all dynasties.
The reason why Genghis Khan, who dominated the world at that time, was able to lead his cavalry to be invincible in the eastern battlefield, whether it was a field battle or a destruction of cities. One of the important reasons for almost attacking and conquering is that he has repeatedly adopted the strategy of "besieging the army must be que", often luring the defending army out of the castle, and using the field ability of the Mongol cavalry to destroy the enemy in the vast and convenient field battlefield.
As a matter of fact, "encircling the division must be que" is not only a tactic of warfare, but also a spiritual and tactical method. The core of this is to be in charge of handling things, to leave room for everything, not to talk too much, not to do things too desperately, to give the other party or contradictions the space and time to change, if it exceeds a certain limit, it will often backfire.
This is a double blow to the soldiers and the spirit.
In Azig's consciousness, he always believed that Zhou Huchen relied on the sharpest and most advanced firearms and troops to defeat the Qing Dynasty, and now he finally completely woke up to the fact that every step of Zhou Huchen's combat was jihuahaode, and every battle was presetting the battlefield for himself, and he never fought a battle that he was not sure of.
Absolute strategizing, such an opponent can be said to have few loopholes, it's terrible!
It was too late to retreat, and it would be an unfair battle not to retreat, because the Ming army had already formed several arrays and was slowly advancing northward.
"I guess Jiannu won't fight our army here, and will definitely retreat, how about my brother make a bet with me, just a meal? Whoever loses will invite all the generals to have a big meal in Shenyang City. Zhou Huchen pointed forward, looking at the wind and clouds with a big smile.
This bet seems to be a sure loss, but Zheng Sen is a local tyrant! How could he see this little money in his eyes, Zheng Sen replied curtly: "Dashuai might as well let me treat me directly, who would be surrounded and beaten like a fool?" ”
Zhou Huchen was very proud: "In the strategizing, winning is invisible, the ovary is scheming, there is no well-known, no bravery, the plan is more difficult than easy, and it is greater than the details." ”
These words are the words of Han Gaozu Liu Bang praising Zhang Liang, which means; Zhang Liang sat in the military tent and used stratagem to decide the victory of the battle thousands of miles away. This shows that Zhang has a lot of conscience, makes good use of his brain, and makes good use of soldiers. Later, people used the phrase "strategizing" to indicate that they were good at planning and using troops and commanding wars.
"The green grass in Dongting, near the Mid-Autumn Festival, has no wind at all. There are 30,000 hectares of Qiongtian in the jade world, and I have a leaf in the boat. The moon is bright, the Milky Way is mirrored, and the surface and the inside are clear. Leisurely heart, the wonder is difficult to talk to you. The Linghai should be remembered for many years, the lonely light shines on itself, and the liver and gallbladder are ice and snow. The short hair is cold, and the sleeves are cold, and the stability is wide. As far as the West River goes, the Beidou is carefully poured, and Vientiane is the guest. Buckle the side alone, I don't know what day it is. ”
All right! You are still a little bit worse than chewing the words, we are serious Ming culture people, Zheng Sen did not hesitate to give Zhou Huchen a dismount.
Zheng Sen replied to the famous patriotic lyricist Zhang Xiaoxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty "Nian Nu Jiao. Over the Dongting", its meaning is very simple, just four words - lonely fang self-appreciation.
Playing culture Zhou Huchen's words are by no means Zheng Sen's opponent, he smiled and hurriedly pointed forward again: "This is the lost spirit, we have won!" ”
As soon as Zhou Huchen's words fell, Jiannu did not dare to fight as expected, Azig led the army to slowly retreat, while Zhou Huchen's army began to follow, and began to advance towards the Hunhe River step by step. (To be continued......)
