On the same day, Shangguan Xiu, Tang Wanyun, and the generals of the Central Army of the Zhenjun Army gathered together to discuss the strategic strategy that followed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Regarding the target that his side is going to attack, everyone's opinion is very unanimous, that is, Xiongzhen. But how to fight Xiongzhen requires a lot of brains from the generals.

In the battle of Gongcheng, the Ningnan army was defeated and suffered heavy losses, with as many as 60,000 or 70,000 casualties, but after removing the dead and seriously wounded, the remaining strength of the Ningnan army was still above 100,000, and the strength of the Feng army was also more than 100,000, and the gap between the two sides was not very large.

With more than 100,000 troops, it is not easy to attack a city defended by 100,000 enemy troops, and it is also a large city with strong and perfect defenses like Xiongzhen.

Qu Jing, the commander of the 14th Army Corps, frowned, and said quietly: "The art of war is cloudy, ten times the enemy, can be encircled and annihilated, three times the enemy, can attack the city, our army's strength and Ningnan Army's strength are equal, if you want to fight Xiongzhen, it is not easy!"

Wu Nian smiled when he heard this, and said confidently: "Under normal circumstances, three times as much as the enemy can attack the city, but now it is not a normal situation. ”

"Oh, what ......is Mr. Wu's opinion?"

"At the beginning, the two legions of the Ningnan Army besieged Gongcheng, but later the 15th Army of the Ningnan Army suddenly divided 50,000 troops to pursue the 2,000 brothers led by the adult, does Qu Shuai know why?" Wu Nianle asked hehehe. It is the greatest support for us, thank you!

"This ......"

Qu Jinggang hesitated, and Wu Nian continued: "It was because the Lord led these two thousand brothers to successfully attack Xiongzhen, and also burned down the Ningnan Army grain and grass hoarded in Xiongzhen, so the 50,000 Ningnan Army chased after the Lord. Now, the 100,000-strong Ningnan army has retreated into Xiongzhen, and these 100,000 mouths have to eat and drink every day, and with the little grain and grass left in Xiongzhen, can they sustain the 100,000-strong army for a few days?"

Wu Nian's words made the eyes of everyone present light up.

Liao Zheng patted his head and exclaimed with a smile: "Yes, how can I forget about this matter, as long as we besiege Gexiong Town for a few days, and wait for no food in the city, we will naturally force the Ningnan army out of the city, and then our army can fight to the death with the enemy outside the city!"

Qu Jing's eyes also lit up, and he said excitedly to Shangguan Xiu and Tang Wanyun: "Lord Shangguan, our army should send troops now to cut off the grain route in Xiongzhen! As long as the food source in Xiongzhen is cut off, our army will win this battle!"

Tang Wanyun nodded, and was about to speak, Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "Before yesterday's dinner, I have sent three corps of our army to quietly go to Xiongzhen, and ambush them on the three official roads leading to Xiongzhen. ”

While speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Hu Chong, the idea that Hu Chong proposed to him.

Qu Jing was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to Shangguan Xiu with joy and sincerity, and praised: "Lord Shangguan's foresight is really admirable to the general. ”

Tang Wanyun's face also showed an appreciative smile.

Shangguan Xiu didn't mention Hu Chong, not because he was greedy for credit, but because he didn't dare to mention it, for fear that Tang Wanyun would take Hu Chong back from his hands. Tang Wanyun looked around at everyone present and said, "Since Lord Shangguan has made preliminary preparations, the officers and men of our army can immediately set off and go to Xiongzhen to have a final decisive battle with the remnants of the enemy army in Zhongde County!"

The generals present stood up one after another, intervened in the salute, and said in unison: "We swear to fight to the death with the enemy, and we would rather fight to the death than retreat half a step!"

On the same day, the Feng army stayed in Gongcheng, continued to rest, and made corresponding pre-war preparations, and the next morning, the wind army's brigade drove out of Gongcheng and marched towards Xiongzhen.

To make a long story short, in a few days, the Wind Army successfully arrived in Xiongzhen. More than 100,000 Feng troops camped five miles south of Xiongzhen. Shangguan Xiu Tang Wanyun took a group of generals and went to check the enemy situation near Xiongzhen.

Now there are 100,000 Ningnan troops stationed in Xiongzhen City, and the city is heavily guarded. The city gate is closed, the drawbridge is hung high, looking at the city, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and groups of patrols walk on the city wall from time to time.

Tang Wanyun asked the hand man for a map of the area around Xiongzhen, unfolded it, and asked while looking down, "Are there any enemy reinforcements found near Xiongzhen?"

None of the generals present replied. The corps of the Central Army did not send scouts to Xiongzhen to investigate, but the Zhenjun Army did send a large number of scouts to keep an eye on the movements around Xiongzhen, but they would not report the military situation to Tang Wanyun.

In the end, Shangguan Xiu spoke: "There are no reinforcements from the Ningnan Army near Xiongzhen, and in the past few days, the brothers of our army who have been ambushed around Xiongzhen have ambushed two teams transporting grain and grass to Xiongzhen, and there is no other enemy. ”

Tang Wanyun asked curiously, "Where did those two grain transportation teams come from?"

"One is from Luolong County and transports a lot of grain and grass, and the other is from Rending Town, near Xiongzhen, and it does not transport much grain and grass. ”

"Have you carefully investigated the number of enemy troops in Rending Town?"

"There is only one battalion of troops. ”

Tang Wanyun's gaze fell on the map, and after looking at it for a moment, she nodded, turned her head sideways and said, "General Qu!"

"The last general!" Qu Jing hurriedly urged him to step forward and intervene to give a salute. Tang Wanyun said: "Send people to take Rending Town, and also, sweep away all enemy strongholds in the area around Xiongzhen, those are potential threats to our side. ”

"Yes! ”

"Our army's barracks cannot only be set up in the south of Xiongzhen, once the enemy abandons the city and flees, our army cannot stop it in time. We also had to set up three more camps in the north, east, and west of Xiongzhen. ”

"But the county lord, with the current strength of our army, it is not enough to camp around the city!"

"Hmph! The Ningnan army is not an immortal, it will not predict the prophet, our army is camped around the city, and the Ningnan army can't tell which side the main force of our army is, this is called a suspicious array, which can make the Ningnan army dare not easily give up Xiongzhen and flee. The corners of Tang Wanyun's mouth raised, and she smiled lightly.

Qu Jing showed a sudden realization, raised his thumb, and praised: "The county lord is wise, and the last general will admire!"

Shangguan Xiu watched Tang Wanyun give orders continuously for a long time, admiring her ability and decisiveness, and it was also a pleasure to make a decision to kill.

In Tang Wanyun's arrangement, the wind army has successively set up a large camp in the north of Xiongzhen, east and west, each of which is the same scale, standing on the head of the city and looking out, the wind army camp in the distance can not see the edge at a glance, the banner is displayed in the camp, the flag is like a forest, and the large and small camp tents are connected one after another.

While the Feng army was camped outside the city, Peng Huang, Zhang Junran, Tong Yang and other generals who were in Xiongzhen City also climbed to the head of the city to inspect. When you go to the south city, you can see the wind army camp outside, and when you go to the east city, the north city, and the west city, there are also wind army camps.

Along the way, Peng Huang's face was solemn, Zhang Junran's brows were twisted into a pimple, and he muttered to himself: "How many troops does the Feng Army have? In the huge Xiongzhen Outer Ring City, they must have at least four or five hundred thousand troops. ”

"It's just a suspicious array of the Wind Army. Tong Yang broke through the mystery in his words, and he said quietly: "The wind army still only has a hundred thousand troops, but the wind army has a great appetite and wants to eat our two legions here in Xiongzhen, so the suspicious army is in a formation, so that our army has no way to tell which camp the main force of the wind army is in, so that our army will not dare to abandon the city rashly and flee." ”

"But our army has no intention of giving up Xiongzhen at all!" Zhang Junran said with an eyebrow.

Tong Yang smiled indifferently and said, "But the Wind Army doesn't think so, in the eyes of the Wind Army, they have won the battle, and there is a great chance that they can trap our two legions in Xiongzhen." ”

Zhang Junran snorted coldly and said, "The Wind Army seems to have forgotten that the strength of our army is not much less than that of the Wind Army. ”

"But it is also a fact that there is a shortage of food and grass in Xiongzhen. Ten days and half a month may still be maintained, but after a long time, the disadvantage of our army's lack of food and grass will gradually leak out. Tong Yang said.

Peng Huang and Zhang Junran gasped, and the former said: "When the Feng army attacked Xiongzhen and burned the army rations, did the Feng army calculate in advance that our army would retreat to Xiongzhen in the future and fight them to the death here?"

Tong Yang shook his head thoughtfully, he didn't believe that anyone in the world could deduce the battle situation so accurately, so interlocking, and bury such a deep foreshadowing in advance. He said faintly: "It can only be said that it is the luck of the wind army, and it is just a crooked hit." ”

"However, if the Feng army really besieges and does not attack, and fights a protracted battle with our army, how should our army respond?" Zhang Junran asked with a gloomy face.

"If this is the case, the outcome of the Battle of Xiongzhen will not depend on us, but on the northern battlefield. Tong Yang sighed softly. The southern battlefield where you are located must cooperate with the northern battlefield, so the decision on many things is not in your own hands, but in the hands of the imperial court in the northern combat corps. "We can only pray now that the northern battlefield will appear in time for a full-scale counterattack. ”

"What if this fighter plane doesn't show up until our army runs out of food and grass?"

Tong Yang smiled bitterly, raised his hand and pointed at the Feng Army camp outside the city, and said: "Then our army can only gamble, choose a breakthrough among the four Feng Army camps outside the city, and forcibly break through!"

"It's a gamble!"

"War is unpredictable, and many times, you need to gamble your life. ”

Zhang Junran looked at him deeply, turned his head sideways and said, "Lu Ping!"

"The last general!" As he called, a general stepped out of the ranks.

"Late tonight, you take your brothers from the Spirit Warriors to explore the reality of the Wind Army camp, I want to know the four wind camps outside the city, which one is real and which one is virtual. Zhang Junran said categorically.

"The last general obeys!" Lu Ping replied.

Tong Yang shook his head secretly on the side, feeling that it was of little significance to do this, and it was difficult to succeed, since the Wind Army was in a suspicious formation, it was impossible not to guard against his own investigation of the truth, but when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't say it after all, what if he really took advantage of the Wind Army's loopholes and succeeded in the investigation?
