Chapter 268: Camp
Ahead of the shallows, it is not the only battlefield. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In fact, the shallows are more than ten miles away from the stone bridge to the west.
But Wu Feng must send people to defend this stone bridge, otherwise, Su Can must be able to send a partial division, cross the stone bridge, and then go around to the rear of Wu Feng's army from the direction of the shallows, and attack the main force in front and back.
Such a result, of course, is unimaginable.
Therefore, Wu Feng sent Bai Choufei to rely on the stone bridge and build a simple fortress with wood and stone, which was defended by hundreds of soldiers.
The stone bridge is narrow, it can be said that it is impossible to open a thousand people, and it is inconvenient to attack with more troops, so Su Can only sent Zuo Chengzheng to lead 500 people to attack the direction of the stone bridge.
He handed over almost all the iron artillery in his hands to Zuo Chengzheng.
"The rear of the fortress seems to be sealed. The person who spoke was a woman with a delicate face, with long hair shoulder-length, Danfeng eyes flying obliquely, looking young and beautiful, charming and moving.
She is a clansman of two brothers, Lin Xiuzhen and Lin Tonggu, named Lin Jia, who is known for her shrewdness.
In the shrine, Lin Jia is also a famous beauty, and there are many suitors, but Zuo Chengzheng, who has an iron face, seems to be completely blind to her beauty.
Lin Jia glanced at Zuo Chengzheng angrily, being assigned to this incomprehensible guy as a deputy general really made her dissatisfied with Su Can's son. In any case, she once had a relationship with Su Can's son.
But rationally, she continued: "In other words, Bai Choufei plans to retreat by himself and fight against the water. If we break through their fortress, it will be too late for them to tear down the wall behind them, and they will only be annihilated by us. ā
Zuo Chengzheng shook his head and said coldly: "Do you think it's really that simple?"
Lin Jia was stunned.
She was about to refute before she remembered that Zuo Chengzheng could not only play with muskets, this kid had been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he was both wise and brave, if he talked about strategy, he was probably better than Su Can's unworthy military advisor Lin Tonggu.
"If Bai Choufei wants to hold on to this bridge, he should build the fortress on the other side of the river stream, not on our side. Zuo Chengzheng said calmly: "If this person just relied on his whiskers to pat his horse, Wu Feng would not be at ease to let him be in charge at all." ā
Lin Jia was taken aback, and then remembered that Bai Choufei's approach was too unreasonable.
"What's more, only half of this fortress is on the bridge, and the other half is exposed outside the bridge, leaving us with a larger attack surface, which is obviously a flaw. Zuo Chengzheng analyzed very calmly: "What Bai Choufei has to do is not only to defend this bridge, he also wants to hit us hard." ā
"Hit us hard?" Lin Jia narrowed her charming Danfeng eyes, tilted her head and said suspiciously: "He only has a hundred people, and he has more than enough self-preservation, but he is far from enough to fight back." We're not stupid, how can we swarm ants and attack in the most damaging way? Of course, we will think of other ways. ā
Zuo Chengzheng's eyes wandered, looking at the surrounding hills.
"Do you believe that you can surround the majority with a few?" Zuo Chengzheng asked coldly.
Lin Jia was stunned.
This is not in line with common sense, the art of war has ten rules to encircle it, if a few people surround the majority, because the encirclement layer is too weak, the majority can easily chisel through the encirclement in any direction.
"But someone did. Zuo Chengzheng said: "In the Three Kingdoms period in the Middle Ages, there was a strategist named Cheng Yu under the command of Cao Gong, who offered a plan to defeat Yuan Shao in Cangting, and the name of this plan is called 'ambush on all sides'. ā
The battle of Yuan Cao is extremely famous, and those who have read a little history books know that Cao Cao won more with less in Guandu and broke Yuan's army.
But few people know that Hebei is strong, even after the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's strength is still above Cao Cao, so the two armies fought in Cangting, and the number of Yuan's army is still more than Cao's.
The Cao army fought with outnumbered soldiers on their backs, and the generals were heroic, but after all, the enemy was outnumbered, and they saw that they were about to be forced into the water, but the Cao army detachment that was ambushed in the rear was divided into ten teams at this time, attacking the back of the Yuan army who was eager to win, and the Yuan army was caught off guard, and was defeated, suffered heavy losses, and was defeated.
After this blow, Yuan Shao collapsed, and finally attacked his heart in a hurry and died of a violent illness.
Zuo Chengzheng has been familiar with the history of the Bible since he was a child, and he has memorized the entire history of the mainland, so how can he not understand this?
After listening to Zuo Chengzheng's description, Lin Jia was shocked for a while: "In this way, the battle against the water is fake, and the ambush on all sides is the truth?"
Zuo Chengzheng nodded: "Although Bai Choufei's troops are not many, they are by no means more than a hundred, and we don't know where those ambush soldiers are hiding." ā
"Then why don't you ignore Bai Choufei and search the hills near the left?" Lin Jia asked.
"The soldiers are fast. Zuo Chengzheng replied coldly: "We don't know how many hole cards Wu Feng has, so the main battlefield must not say that Xinxing Gongzi will win." But as long as we break through this stone bridge and detour back to Wu Feng's back, then there will be no suspense about the outcome of the war. ā
The stone bridge is not far from the shoal, and even if it is breached, it will take some time to make a detour back to the shoal.
And this area is hilly and densely wooded, like a labyrinth, how can it be so easy to find out Bai Choufei's ambush?
Until this moment, Lin Jia was convinced by Zuo Chengzheng.
Although this kid is young, he really lives up to the fact that Nobuyuki has a good eye for him.
"So, ...... Cheng Zhenggong" Lin Jia asked, "Do you have a way to break through the stone bridge quickly?"
Zuo Chengzheng did not answer directly, but responded: "Let's attack first." The rear team turned and formed an iron shield formation, not participating in the attack on the fortress, but protecting our rear. In this way, even if the enemy ambushes appear, our army can easily deal with it. ā
If it was really as Zuo Chengzheng expected, Bai Choufei's ambush plan not only lost its effect, but also reduced the strength of his own defense bridgehead, which was really self-inflicted.
The sound of war drums sounded, and Zuo Chengzheng stood upright and shot the iron cannon into the air, like thunder, as a call to attack.
The troops of the Zuo Cheng Shobu formed a solid square formation, with large shields and bamboo bundles to defend against bows and iron cannons, which was extremely effective in avoiding casualties when attacking the fortress.
Moreover, there are not many iron cannons in Bai Choufei's department, and there are at least more than a hundred iron gunners in Zuo Chengzheng's team.
They took turns shooting, raining bullets into the fort, the sound of peeling pecks incessantly.
Bai Choufei, who looks like a monkey, also seems to be in command, even if this is the first time he has been in charge. His lieutenant Xu Danxian was armed with a bow and arrow, leading the archers to effectively fight back.
"There's a problem. ā
After several tentative attacks, Zuo Chengzheng shook his head.
"What's the problem?" Lin Jia asked.
"The fort's defenses are a bit too strong. Otherwise, it would be too risky for Bai Choufei to expose it to the attack of our army. ā
The hastily built fortress is by no means comparable to the city that has been renovated for many years, and it is comparable to the city guarded by the martial soul array.
But in the face of the impact of Zuo Chengzheng's ministry and the volley of iron cannons, this fortress did not move, and there were no scars even left on the wooden pillars.
It's just a wall made of the most ordinary wood, and it's not a mythical xenomorph!
"Yang Qi didn't destroy this stone bridge at the beginning, it seems that there is a reason. Zuo Chengzheng calmly analyzed: "The stone bridge is connected to the underground spiritual vein, and Miss Xue must have passed on the Xue family's Qimen Dunjia technique to Wu Feng and even Bai Choufei. With this Qimen Dunjia technique, Bai Choufei greatly strengthened the fortress's protective ability, so that he could be so unscrupulous. ā
As he spoke, there was already a sound of laughter in the camp opposite, but Zuo Chengzheng turned a deaf ear.
Lin Jiahua's face was pale: "In this way, it is impossible for us to break through this fortress?" In this case, it is better to return to the main battlefield and join forces with the prince of Xinxing......
Zuo Chengzheng waved his hand: "Woman, listen to me finish speaking, I don't like others to interrupt me." In addition, the morale of our army is also very problematic, originally I led the most elite troops under the command of Prince Nobuyuki, but the soldiers lacked the fighting spirit one by one, probably because everyone was a god temple person, and many of them had relatives and friends-"
Lin Jia was shocked.
Only then did she realize that Zuo Chengzheng's eldest brother and second brother were in the camp opposite!
