Text Chapter 462 Attack on Chiyang
Noticing where the finger had landed, Frustration first stared, then nodded slightly, and then shook his head, looking very entangled.
"There is no way, even if the enemy army has gathered in Yin City, it is too difficult to capture it with our current strength, it is better to take a risky move, once it is successful, it can be attacked by defense, and this matter is also easy to solve." Li Ru said.
Obviously, Li Ru already knew that Fu Zhu understood his intentions. It's a bit risky to do that, but I don't care about that much now. Even if Zhang Chao handed over the decision of the army to them, it would not disappoint. Although it is said that the lone army has reached into the adventure a little, once it can succeed, it can cut off the back road of the Liu and Dong coalition forces. And once it is surrounded, this army must be in great confusion, at that time, they only need to defend the city and wait for others to attack to the death.
"Isn't that unsafe?" Although he listened to Li Ru's words, he still asked with some uncertainty.
"There is no risk in a war. After saying that, once you can enter Chiyang from Gaolu, you can make a detour to Chang'an, which is equivalent to cutting off the enemy's rear route and food and grass supply. Presumably, it won't be long before the coalition forces are in turmoil, and at that time, we only need to hold the city to consume the enemy heavily. When the other side is heavily damaged, it is the time for our army to counterattack, and the battle can be won. Li Ru said without the slightest hesitation, and at the same time explained the detailed combat intentions.
Of course, he understood what Li Ru meant. This is to divide the troops and besiege them, so that the siege of the city has been changed to the defense of the city, and the coalition army is regarded as a turtle in the urn, and it can be disposed of as much as it wants.
To say, this battle plan has a surprising side, once it is really done, it will deal a heavy blow to the enemy's coalition forces, but there are also great hidden dangers, that is, whether they can smoothly enter Chiyang from Gaolu on the back road to the enemy, and whether the coalition forces in Xiliang will turn against themselves after this combat intention is really achieved, if so, it is equivalent to an encirclement in the encirclement. But no matter what, this legion that is stretched out alone is undoubtedly very dangerous.
Frustration teaches this person to act prudently and not take risks, which is an aspect of his maturity and an aspect that Zhang Chao values. But in the same way, such a character would be suitable to fight with the wind, but it would not be possible to deal with the situation in front of you.
On the contrary, Li Ru is indeed accustomed to making ghost moves, often the army he leads will do unexpected things, you think he will appear from the east, in fact, he did lead the army from the west. These are completely two personalities, otherwise they wouldn't have come up with such an idea.
If it was just a legion to fight, Li Ru didn't need to consult with others, he just had to give orders. But now that the two legions are fighting together, he can't be so rude. If you can't convince you, you won't be able to do it without anyone cooperating with you.
Therefore, Li Ru looked sideways and said, "The battle of Jizhou has no place for us. This time, the lord acted fairly and allowed us to come and settle the affairs of Yongzhou, so should we confront the coalition forces like this? If this is the case, how can you fulfill the orders of the lord and not make others laugh at them? Alright, Mr. Fu, there is no other choice now, please grant my request. ”
When Li Ru said these words, he was very sincere. To say that he is indeed holding his breath, he is also a military advisor, seeing that others are relying on their own ability to make suggestions and get rewards, how can he not be in a hurry. Of course, he also knew that he also needed a victory to gain the approval of others.
Sure enough, when these words were spoken to Fu Zhi, he was also moved, and then nodded lightly and said, "Although this plan is a bit risky, it is not impossible. In this way, then the matter of sending troops to Golvaul will be done by our four legions. ”
Anyone can see that the army that takes the route of the Upper Continent is undoubtedly much more risky. When he said this, he also wanted to leave the difficult things to himself.
"How can this be done, the idea is mine, of course it is up to our Sixth Army to do this, there is no need to dispute this matter." After Li Ru heard this, he did flick his sleeves, and he looked disagree.
Yes, it is a bit dangerous to go high on the high continent, but once you succeed, you will also be a great achievement. How could Li Ru give it to others? In other words, Frustrated's personality is too calm, if he is to carry out this task, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, if so, this plan will not be very perfect even if it is executed.
Li Ru didn't let it, so he didn't fight, but kindly reminded: "That's the case, please pay more attention to Brother Wen You, once the situation is not right, please retreat quickly, I and the Fourth Army will take care of you." ”
"Okay." Seeing that Fu Zhu finally agreed, Li Ru nodded busily. As for what the other party said about retreating when something happens, he really didn't think much about it, or he didn't think there would be a day when he would retreat at all.
The two military advisors reached an agreement. Next, we began to discuss the attack on Golu Castle. In order to play a role in confusing the other party, Li Ru's opinion is that when the Sixth Army Corps makes a move, the Fourth Army Corps should also launch a feint attack on Yin City, at least to attract the attention of the enemy army.
For these, Frustrated Zhi nodded in agreement. The risky things were all done by the Six Legions, and of course he had to cooperate well.
After the major events were agreed, Li Ru began to order people to prepare grain and grass, and convened a meeting of the generals of the army to discuss and assign tasks. And on the same night, the Sixth Army Corps left Xinfeng City. They didn't light torches when they went out of the city, so as not to attract attention.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, arranged for the deputy army commander Gao Ran to lead 50,000 troops to Yin City to call for battle, and they wanted to attract the attention of the other party.
It is said that the Sixth Legion went out at night, and walked a full thirty miles in just one night, and then when the sky was about to dawn, they found a large forest on the side of the road to rest.
Even if you want to carry out a surprise attack, of course, you can't show the slightest trace to let the other party know. For this reason, Li Ru's request was to go out day and night, and by the time the enemy found out, he had already killed Chang'an City, cutting off the retreat of the 300,000 troops of the coalition army.
The army rests during the day and moves out at night, and the speed is not too slow. In particular, the vanguard general was concurrently served by Yan Liang, the deputy commander of the corps, and the marching speed never slowed down in the slightest.
Yuan Shao surrendered, Jizhou was occupied, and Yan Liang became a prisoner and was arranged to study at the Zhangjia Military Academy.
originally thought that even if a captive general like him had some skills, it would take a long time to gain trust and reuse. And Yan Liang is also mentally prepared to start from the grassroots level, and he doesn't even have the confidence to be appointed as a division commander, in his opinion, it is very good to be a regiment commander. At least you can lead the troops alone, and you can make meritorious contributions.
It's just that he didn't think that not long ago, the appointment was issued, and he was actually assigned to the Sixth Army Corps as a deputy commander, a position that is many times stronger than the division commander.
This result was somewhat unexpected by Yan Liang, and while he was moved, he also made up his mind to perform well and live up to Zhang Chao's reuse.
Letting Yan Liang be the deputy commander of the Sixth Army was also a decision made by Zhang Chao with a lot of determination. Relatively speaking, although Xu Rong has some ability, compared with several legion commanders, the strength is indeed the weakest one, so it is very necessary to have a strong deputy legion commander.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Chao decided to send Yan Liang to Xu Rong as his deputy, with the assistance of this person, the combat power of the Sixth Army Corps will also increase greatly, even if it encounters a strong enemy, it will also have a strong foundation.
Li Ru saw this very clearly, so he told the corps commander Xu Rong to listen. Knowing the significance of the lord's arrangement, when Yan Liang came to the Sixth Legion, he was reused, not only was he sincerely welcomed, but he was also allowed to lead the troops alone.
For the dependence of the corps commander and military advisor, Yan Liang was moved and determined to perform well. Just like this time, knowing that this trip would be very difficult, and even if he was not careful, he would fall into danger, but he still worked hard to win the position of vanguard general. He just wants to let others see that the generals who surrendered from Jizhou are no worse than anyone else, and they can also be entrusted with important tasks, and they can also lead the army to make great contributions.
Wanting to behave well, Yan Liang marched faster and faster with the vanguard army, especially after raiding the unsuspecting Gaolu City and occupying it, he only left a thousand soldiers to defend the city and wait for the arrival of the corps commander and military division, and he took 50,000 vanguard troops to Chiyang.
In this way, Yan Liang's vanguard troops and the main force of the legion behind him opened a certain distance.
In this regard, some generals also reminded Yan Liang that he should wait for the main force of the legion. His answer was to rest and wait in the city after taking Chiyang.
Thinking that it was not far from Chiyang, and it was okay to rest there, the other generals did not speak, but took the initiative to cooperate with Yan Liang to march with the army.
When attacking Gaolu, Yan Liang and other 50,000 people were like heavenly soldiers descending to earth, so that the 500 defenders in the city were besieged and broken before they knew what was happening. It can be said that it went unexpectedly. It is precisely because of this that when he came to the foot of Chi Yang, Yan Liang took the same number of roads, and also took the way of raiding. An army of 50,000 appeared in front of the two gates at the same time, and then there was a major attack.
Chiyang's defenders were only 500 people, and in the face of a hundredfold enemy, they only resisted a little, and then retreated, and the city gate was wide open, causing Yan Liang to lead his troops into with laughter.
took Chiyang City so lightly, Yan Liang didn't feel any surprise. He believes that this is simply the reason why Dong Zhuojun is too weak. As soon as he entered the city, his scouts rushed to report that a large number of enemy troops had been killed in the western direction, and asked for instructions on what to do next.
