Chapter 551: Timing
"Commander, you asked...... Three hours ago, Ma Chao led the Qiang people to join forces with the Yang clan of Nanzheng, Nanzheng had just been lost, Ma Chao was sorting out the city affairs, and Zhang Lu was suspected of having fled at the beginning of the night attack. ”
Less than ten miles outside Nanzheng City, Sun Kuang reported to Sun Ceyu, who had disembarked.
When Bai Tu first met Sun Kuang, he was still a dull-looking little fat man, but now he is a company commander in the cavalry division.
This time, Sun Kuang's cavalry company was hung under the guard regiment of the Wuchang First Division, that is, the personal corps of Sun Ce, the commander of the Wuchang Military Region.
Although he is Sun Ce's third brother, in the army, Sun Kuang still inherited the fine tradition of the Sun family, and only called each other by their positions in the army.
Sun Kuang had just taken the first step to investigate the situation, found some of the defeated troops from Nanzheng, and asked about the situation after capturing a middle-level general alive.
"Is the foothold unstable...... Sun Ce looked in the direction of Nanzheng City, and then ordered: "After landing, camp along the water in situ, leave two auxiliary camps in the engineering battalion, and two artillery companies to guard against incoming attacks, and the others will rush to Nanzheng with me!" Sun Ce thought about it for a while, and then immediately made a decision.
Taking advantage of Ma Chao's unstable foothold, he fought a wave first, but there were still half of them that had not landed, and if he had to wait, he would inevitably delay the time and give the enemy a chance to breathe, so he would stay and camp first, and if he didn't fight down, there would still be a camp to go back to.
Zhou Yu was on the side at this time, but he didn't stop Sun Ce, during which he ...... Sun Ce also glanced in Zhou Yu's direction repeatedly, and finally seemed to have given up something.
After Sun Kuang went to give the order, Zhou Yu "floated" to Sun Ce's side, blocked his eyes with a feather fan, and whispered: "The cavalry is really not enough!" ”
"Yes...... Ahem, there's nothing short of it, after all, our tactics are already different! Hahaha...... "Sun Ce first wanted to agree, but then he suddenly remembered something and changed his caliber again.
Zhou Yu glanced at him speechlessly.
Sure enough, if it weren't for the fact that the cavalry was really insufficient, Sun Ce would probably want to attack Nanzheng with a small force of cavalry first!
It's a pity that it is difficult to transport cavalry by water, and the cavalry of the Chu State, except for the three independent cavalry regiments, is now distributed in the form of a "cavalry company" like artillery, ensuring that each brigade has a cavalry company, but only as an auxiliary functional branch, not the main force on the battlefield.
Otherwise, with Sun Ce's wave strength, now that there are 800 cavalry, he will dare to go up and go directly to the past......
However, now only each brigade has fragmentary cavalry companies, and the training they receive is not the tactics of collective charging like the old cavalry, so Sun Ce had no choice but to put out his thoughts.
Of course, Sun Ce, who has no cavalry, is still Sun Ce, Nanzheng is not far from the landing place, since he knows that the enemy's foothold is not stable, Sun Ce of course led the army to go as soon as possible, wanting to take the opportunity to capture Nanzheng first!
In fact, the timing is a little unfortunate, if Zhang Lu insists on one more day, then now it is Han Ningjun and Chu Jun hammering Ma Chao together......
However, Zhang Lu escaped, and there are also benefits of escaping, if he defeats Ma Chao with Zhang Lu, even if Zhang Lu doesn't mention it for the time being, he will definitely muttered in his heart - the purpose of building the Hanshui weir with your Chu State is to transport troops over?
Zhang Lu has been operating in Hanzhong for so long, and at that time, Chu State is a guest, Zhang Lu is the master, and after the foreign enemy is gone, it will definitely be full of discord, and even turn into elbows and armpits, after all, ...... It is true that the Chu army is not here to "send troops for public welfare"!
However, now that Zhang Lu has just fled, Ma Chao has not completely mastered Nanzheng, this timing has caused some difficulties at the tactical level, but from the perspective of the overall situation, it is convenient to act.
"Bo Fu, do you remember what I told you about Han Xin when there was a dispute between Chu and Han and an ambush on all sides?" On the way to Nanzheng, Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce.
Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "Drill crotch? ”
Zhou Yu: ......
Zhou Yu visibly jumped out of the word "well" on his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, you don't remember it at all, right?" ”
"Ahem, let me think about it again......"
"Don't think about it! It's Chu Ge! At that time, in order to crush the morale of the Chu army, Han Xin ordered the Han army to learn to sing Chu songs! Zhou Yu reminded while rubbing the red dots.
"Chu Ge? This is what many people will ...... No, we should sing it now...... Qiang minor? This is a bit out of the way," Sun Ce scratched his head, looking like "Where can I find someone who can sing ......Qiang folk songs at this time".
"Of course, it's not for the Qiang people, although they fought hard all night, but now the Qiang people in Nanzheng are only more than us, not less than us, and singing the songs of the Qiang people will not inspire their nostalgia, or make them think that their homeland has been lost! I mean...... We can ask those defeated troops of the 'Heavenly Master Dao' that we found before to hurry up and teach a few words of the Heavenly Master Dao teachings level by level. Zhou Yu said with a roll of his eyes.
After Sun Ce was reminded, after thinking about it, he also understood, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, it's worthy of Gongjin!" ”
That's right, now that the Qiang song is sung, the Qiang people's hearts are not turbulent, but ...... However, the teachings of the Heavenly Master Dao can arouse the consciousness of resistance among the believers in the city, and make them think that the army outside the city is "their own people".
Ma Chao's foothold is not stable now, as long as there is more chaos in the city and another wave of resistance from the Heavenly Master Dao, Sun Ce's success rate in taking advantage of the chaos to recapture Nanzheng will be even higher!
Although Zhang Lu has fled, which has greatly demoralized the remnants of the Heavenly Master Dao in Nanzheng City, most of them should not know what happened, but the Qiang people and the actual situation told them that Zhang Lu had fled.
At this time, if someone outside the city shouted the teachings of the Heavenly Master's Dao, it would still be able to inspire their loyalty to the Heavenly Master's Dao, and even make up their brains to make Zhang Lu bring people back to save them......
"But in this way, after we occupy Nanzheng, will we be dragged down by the Heavenly Master Dao?" Sun Ce rarely thought about it, which made Zhou Yu very pleased.
Although Sun Ce's words were as if he had defeated Ma Chao, he was a little arrogant, but ...... At least Sun Ce is thinking about it!
"No, after entering the city, we can naturally tell them about Zhang Lu's escape, and then commend those generals of the Heavenly Master's Dao, swear to defend the spirit of the people in the city, and execute those traitors who colluded with the Qiang people......
For the remnants of the army of Nanzheng, it is necessary to resolutely and quickly absorb it, and resolutely ban the armed forces that do not conform to the laws of Chu, but the influence of the Heavenly Master Dao can be gradually weakened.
Again...... There is a chance that Zhang Lu is now fleeing to Hanchang, if nothing else, General Zilong should have already arrived, right? If Zhang Lu is controlled, these are not problems at all. Zhou Yu analyzed step by step.
Sun Ce nodded his head after hearing this, and then said with a smirk: "Hahaha, but now you still have to beat Ma Chao first, Gongjin, you are a little too anxious!" Hahaha......"
Zhou Yu: ......
