Chapter 168: Jia Cong's Guerrilla Warfare
In the past few days, Wang Ziteng can be described as anxious.
The army was in an unfavorable situation, losing and retreating, and the previous ambitions were shattered by the living reality.
Those generals who advocated taking the initiative also stopped talking.
Their army rushed forward, and as soon as they looked at each other, they were scattered by the barbarian army, and their faces were crackling.
The gap in combat power is too big, and these people finally know how big the gap between themselves and the enemy is.
Wang Ziteng and the generals temporarily discussed, and finally decided to let the soldiers in front retreat to Shenyang, relying on the high walls of Shenyang to resist the attack of the barbarians.
With the barbarians in Shenyang, start a big offensive and defensive battle.
"The commander of Qiyu, He Shiyuan, the chief soldier of Guangning, sent someone to send a battle report, and the guerrilla general Jia Cong led the army to raid, beheaded 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, and won the first great victory."
When the generals present heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
It's really fake, 10,000 Mongolian cavalry were killed, this is too incredible, he and others are losing and retreating, but others have made great achievements, why is this gap so big?
When Wang Ziteng heard this, he didn't believe it a little, so he took the battle report and read it carefully, and then he believed it.
"Generals, this good news is true, the guerrilla general Jia Cong, led 10,000 cavalry, rushed to the resting place of the Mongolian cavalry overnight, and distributed a surprise attack at dawn, destroying this 10,000-person cavalry team in one fell swoop, losing more than 800 people."
confirmed the authenticity of the battle report, and the generals were envious.
This is the first big victory since the beginning of the war, and the results are brilliant, and it is a proper first achievement.
"Dashuai, this General Jia is so good at fighting, why don't you transfer him to the battlefield here in Shenyang and serve Dashuai?"
"This General Jia's record, I have studied, except for sneak attacks or ambushes, he has never fought head-on, it belongs to that kind of flexible and mobile tactics, Shenyang is an offensive and defensive war of attrition, not his strength."
"Even if it's a sneak attack ambush, it's also a skill to win, you can also go to a sneak attack ambush to try, the key is to grasp the fighters on the battlefield, which is the most important thing."
Regarding the generals' proposals, Wang Ziteng was also a little moved.
Jia Cong, this kid, really has some skills, and he made a great contribution at the beginning of this war.
Although the credit of Guangning's side can be touched by himself, after all, he is not commanded by himself, and he will not be able to get much light.
If Jia Cong won the victory under his own command, then he would have taken the lion's share.
However, after thinking about it carefully, I hesitated a little.
Even if Jia Cong has a problem on Guangning's side, it doesn't have much to do with him, he was already there.
If he is transferred over, if something really happens, then he will be responsible, and it will be difficult for the Jia family to explain.
Forget it, could it be that without him Jia Cong, I won't be able to win the battle?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the war over there in Guangning is not over yet, there are still 40,000 cavalry cruising around, it is not appropriate to transfer manpower for the time being, don't mention the matter of transferring Jia Cong, can't you win a battle without Jia Cong for me to see?"
"Marshal, now the enemy's offensive is too strong, we still have to avoid the edge for the time being, as the so-called one blow, and then exhaustion, three and decline, the other exhaustion of my surplus and overcome, and so the enemy's edge has passed, we will come forward to clean them up."
Wang Ziteng glanced at the guy, and said that the head was the Tao, and he looked very reasonable, how could he feel so unreliable.
"Everyone, no matter what, Shenyang will never allow accidents, otherwise everyone will not be able to escape."
"Obey the orders of the commander!"
······
Hongtai was in a good mood during this time, the war was going well, the army was advancing steadily, and it was not far from Shenyang City.
Everyone was busy fighting, snatching the spoils, and no one bothered him anymore.
This is the best time to consolidate your own power, and you must not miss it.
Regardless of the victory or defeat in this great battle, his goal was achieved, and he successfully transformed the internal contradiction into an external contradiction.
However, the good mood did not last long before it was ruined by the arrival of the Mongols.
"What do you say? Lost 10,000 people? It's only been a few days, and you've lost 10,000 people, and your people can't do it? What the hell is going on, let me know. ”
"Back to the Great Khan, after we received the order, we began to harass in Quang Ninh, wanting to lure out the troops of Quang Ninh and eat them, but they didn't dare to come out at all, but I didn't expect them to sneak out of the city and eat one of our 10,000 people."
Hong Tai shouted angrily: "What a bunch of waste, what about the others? Aren't there still 40,000 people? Where is it now? ”
"Back to the Great Khan, we are afraid of losing manpower again, and if we miss the Great Khan's plan, we will bring them all."
Jia Cong's kid really has some ability, just let him live for a while, wait for me to defeat Shen Yang, and then clean him up, and then count the new and old hatreds together.
"Now that you're here, rest for a day and join the fight."
"Yes, Great Khan."
A month later, Hongtai's army finally reached the city of Shenyang.
Looking at the tall and sturdy city wall in front of him, Hong Tai couldn't help but sigh, under this city wall, he didn't know how many sons would die.
A strong attack is definitely the next strategy, such a strong city wall, if you want to fight down, you can only fill it with human lives.
It seems that some stratagem is going to be used to lure them out of the city, and then to take the opportunity to seize the city.
Hongtai did not immediately attack the city, but sent some old and weak soldiers to shout and curse under the city.
This time, the soldiers in the city couldn't help it, and they were turtles with shrunken heads every day, and they couldn't raise their heads when they were scolded by the enemies outside the city.
"Great marshal, the last general asks for battle, vows to kill the enemy outside the city, please allow the marshal."
In order to supervise the war, Wang Ziteng has come to Shenyang in advance to preside over the overall situation in the city.
After knowing that the Mongol soldiers in Guangning had retreated, they recruited Jia Cong to come to Shenyang for questioning, and the two talked secretly in the study for most of the day before they walked out together.
Jia Cong stayed in Shenyang for three days and then hurried back to Guangning.
For Jia Cong, he can't grasp the battle situation in Shenyang, as long as he sticks to it, there should be no problem, and there is not much point in staying by himself.
It is impossible to say that it is impossible to defeat the barbarians head-on and achieve victory, and these soldiers of Great Chu can't do it at all.
Staying here by yourself won't help much, but it's better to go to the rear of the barbarians, harass them, affect their military morale, make them have no intention of fighting, and retire early.
After listening to Jia Cong's analysis, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but be impressed by him, this analysis is too thorough, no wonder he can make repeated military exploits, this is the real knowing oneself and knowing the other, this kid is really a talent.
After having a certain understanding of the overall situation, I realized that I was taking it for granted, but as long as I kept Shenyang, it would be a great credit.
If Jia Cong makes some more contributions, as the supreme official, he will also have some credits.
As long as he held Shenyang, he gave Jia Cong the right to act cheaply, and let him go to the enemy's rear by himself.
Forced Jia Cong to stay, but there was just one more general to defend the city.
It's better to let him out, maybe there will be unexpected surprises, and after some conversation, he has more confidence in Jia Cong.
Now his task is to defend Shenyang City and not let the barbarians step further.
Hearing that someone was asking for battle, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Are you sure you want to go out of the city to fight? If you insist, Ben Shuai can let you out, but after you leave the city, I will immediately let people close the city gates, and if you win, I will open the door and let you in, and if you lose, you will die outside. ”
When the general heard this, he was stunned for a second, and he was not sure of victory.
"Dashuai is right, it's still Shenyang's safety that matters, so I'll think about it again."
Wang Ziteng shouted loudly: "Pass my order, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight without my permission, violators of the order will be beheaded, tell the city gate officer, without my instructions, do not open the city gate, this commander will defend Shenyang to the death, swear to block the enemy from the city." ”
"Subordinates obey the orders of the commander!"
Wang Ziteng's non-cooperation made Hong Tai have no choice at all.
In desperation, several sieges were launched, but they were all repulsed, and the two sides were stalemate in Shenyang.
······
After Jia Cong returned to Quang Ninh from Shenyang.
Let people inform Wang Shun and Zhang Hu to lead troops to sweep the grassland tribes, absorb and annex them, and establish a tribe as Wang Shun's foundation for them, and they can also contain Borchi in the future, lest he will not lose his tail.
At the same time, he informed Borchi to send troops to sweep the steppe tribes, expand the tribal power, and strengthen himself.
told He Shiyuan the reason for this trip, and revealed his harassment plan and disinformation against the barbarians.
After He Shiyuan heard this, he was silent for a long time, this plan was too dangerous, entering the enemy's rear to make trouble, and if it was not good, the whole army would be wiped out.
"If you do this, you can really affect the enemy's military morale, but it's too dangerous, do you really want to do this?"
Jia Cong said: "Uncle Shi, if you want to solve the danger of Shenyang, you can only do this, as long as the barbarians do not retreat, we will always harass them, if they send troops, we will destroy them if there are less, and we will run away if there are more, in short, harass until they retreat."
Since there is nothing to do in Guangning, Uncle Shi will take your 5,000 cavalry with me, if this works well, not only can you make a fortune, but also make great contributions. ”
He Shiyuan was a little moved when he heard this, and hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not good for me to leave, Guangning still needs someone to be in charge, in case there is something or something, no one is in charge." ”
Jia Cong said: "You can let Vice General Yang sit in Guangning, and others who are not afraid of danger can also follow, but they must obey the command, and if they don't obey the order, I won't care if they live or die." ”
"Okay, I'll go crazy with you once this time, whether it's success or failure, it's a matter of one move."
He Shiyuan was moved, leaving Deputy General Yang to guard Guangning, and left Guangning City with 5,000 cavalry and Jia Cong.
This time, there were also three generals, a total of 10,000 horses and horses entered the grassland, and went all the way to the east.
The next day, they entered the territory of the barbarians.
In fact, the grassland also belongs to the territory of the barbarians, but Jia Cong left it to Borchi and Wang Shun, so that they can use those populations to expand their strength as soon as possible.
Jia Cong sent a large number of scouts to investigate the news in the vicinity.
There is a medium-sized tribe not far away, which has directly sent people to capture it, and it is here to rest for a while, waiting for the information brought by the scouts.
After a day of repairing here, the next day, Jia Cong, He Shiyuan, and several generals sat together, and Jia Cong drew a simple map on the ground, marking the locations of several tribes.
"Generals, these places are the locations of some tribes, and after a while, everyone will split up and lead their own men to grab it to their heart's content, whoever gets it will belong to whomever they want, and how much benefit they can get, it depends on their luck.
For the sake of fairness, you choose the target first, and I will choose last, let's say okay first, I don't know what the situation is in the tribe, everyone had better be cautious, don't capsize in the gutter and be destroyed. ”
"General Jia, don't worry, we will definitely be more careful."
Then everyone chose the target, led the soldiers and horses, turned the rear of the barbarians upside down, and plundered a large number of property.
Several generals who accompanied him had a happy face, and this harvest was much more than them drinking soldiers' blood and eating empty salaries, and it is estimated that they will not earn so much in their lifetime.
Even He Shiyuan was full of smiles, he had the most people under him and got the most things.
This time, the tribe of the barbarians was unlucky, many tribes were swept away, and those who dared to resist were killed.
Jia Cong released the Tanma out of a hundred miles, and as soon as there was a movement, he immediately rushed back to report.
After more than ten days in a row, frantically sweeping dozens of tribes, the news finally reached Hong Tai's ears.
Hong Tai was furious and immediately sent his cronies to lead 5,000 men and horses to exterminate the murderers.
Amin immediately sent someone to inform Jia Cong of the news.
After Jia Cong got the news, he did not leave, but set up an ambush on the way here, preparing to eat these horses.
After more than ten days of getting along, these generals admired Jia Congna and agreed with his plan of action.
Seeing that Hongtai's 5,000 troops had entered the ambush circle, an order was given, and the 10,000 cavalry were divided into five teams and surrounded and killed.
A battle without suspense wiped out all 5,000 barbarian soldiers.
These generals personally participated in the battle and finally knew Jia Cong's way of fighting.
The family was beaming, this is a proper military feat.
"I still followed Brother Jia out to have a good time, that is, I made a fortune, and I got military merits, and I was so happy to fight, this time I went back, if I let those cowards see it, I won't be envious to death, and I will regret it?"
"That's right, I haven't really admired anyone in all these years, Brother Jia, I can't do it if I don't admire it, this method is really neat, it's too powerful."
"We came out this time, and we really made a lot of money, that is, we made meritorious service and made a fortune, hey, I'm really happy."
He Shiyuan couldn't help but smile when he heard a few people talking, not only them, but he was the real winner this time.
Jia Cong handed over the command to himself, which is equivalent to giving himself the credit, he has the most people and horses, and he has grabbed the most property, and this time he really sent it.
After Hong Tai learned the news, he was almost not angry, and the five thousand men and horses were gone.
After understanding that Jia Cong was doing the trouble, he was even more furious, and personally led 20,000 cavalry to the rear, vowing to break Jia Cong's body into 10,000 pieces to avenge his father Khan.
