Chapter 121: Seed Master: Battle, That's How It Was Fought (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
…
After the seed master Dao led the army into the Liangzhejiang region, he did not directly attack Shezhou, the base camp of Fangla, but unexpectedly shook a shot, and then turned around and went to fight Jiangzhou.
The operation of the Seed Master Dao not only caught Fang La, who was about to fight to the death with the Seed Master Dao, by surprise, but also caught Lu Mai, the eighth king of Jiangzhou Guard, off guard.
Because Lu Mai had never thought that the Seed Master Dao would not play cards according to common sense and not go straight to Huanglong to fight Shezhou, but suddenly turned around and hit his own Jiangzhou.
In addition, among the seed divisions who had put on a posture of defending Hongzhou before, they secretly sent a partial division to attack Jiangzhou.
As a result, although Lu Mai led his headquarters to defend desperately, Jiangzhou, which was crucial, was still defeated by the Seed Master Dao, and did not give Fang La and Fang Qifo, who were not far from Lu Mai, a chance to rescue Jiangzhou.
Now, the two gates in the west of the Liangzhejiang region, the key to the two Zhejiang, have been completely recovered by the Song army.
This time, there is basically no possibility that the Song army will not be able to enter the Liangzhejiang region.
Why does the Planter Dao play with the east and the west?
This has to say that the veteran of the Seed Master Dao is stable.
Can the Seed Master Dao fight to the death with Fang La desperately?
Yes.
Although the soldiers and horses in the hands of the planting master are far less than those in Fang La's hands.
There are 6,000 cavalry in the hands of the master, and they are elite cavalry.
If these 6,000 elite cavalry are used well, they can be used as 60,000 elite infantry on the field battlefield.
And what the combat effectiveness of the peasant rebel army was, everyone knew in their hearts.
Under the situation of eliminating the strengths of the other, in the case that Fang La did not transfer all the troops to his side, it is really difficult to say who can win the decisive battle between the Seed Master Dao and Fang La.
But the question is, what happens when this battle is over?
Let's talk about the seed master in case he loses.
Needless to say, Fang La will definitely concentrate all his forces to recapture Hongzhou.
If Hongzhou was really recaptured by Fang La, then this rebellion, which could have been quelled in a short period of time, could not be said how many years it would have to be fought.
The key is that in this way, if the Great Song Dynasty is not completely finished, it will definitely retreat greatly.
And Li Cun and Fang La in the two Zhejiang regions can be vigorously developed behind closed doors.
Under the advantages of the other, the Great Song Dynasty may really be destroyed by Li Cun and Fang La, or one of them in the future.
Besides, the seed master won the battle.
Do you think you'll be fine if you win the battle?
It's not that simple.
In fact, as long as the Seed Master Dao fought this battle, it would put the Song army in a disadvantageous situation.
First of all, you must know that don't look at the 70,000 troops brought by the Seed Master, and it looks like there are a lot of them.
But the real situation is that among the 70,000 troops, there are 20,000 people in Hong Zai, and 30,000 Hebei forbidden troops, and the real western army is actually only 20,000.
Hong Zai's 20,000 people don't need a majority, and their combat strength can be tied with the same number of Fang La rebels on the opposite side at most, maybe if the will to fight is also included, then Hong Zai's 20,000 people are not necessarily the opponents of those Manichaean fanatics in Fang La's rebel army.
Let's talk about the 30,000 Hebei forbidden troops.
Because of the signing of the Tanyuan Alliance, the Hebei Forbidden Army has not fought for almost a hundred years, so that the generals are lazy, do not train the enemy, to put it mildly, do not practice well for a period of time, their combat effectiveness may not even be as good as the 20,000 people of Hong Zai.
- Outsiders don't know how hard the planter Dao wasted to bring these 30,000 Hebei forbidden troops here.
After all the calculations, the only thing that can really be used in the hands of the Seed Master Dao is actually the 20,000 Western Army.
Rely on 20,000 Western troops to fight hundreds of thousands of Fangla rebels?
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Fang La used ten to kill him, he would be able to fight out the 20,000 horses.
At that time, Fang La's old method can be used to encompass millions of troops, and there will be no soldiers and horses to use in the Dao of Planters.
Therefore, the difference in real strength is too great, and the Seed Master Dao will definitely be able to fight, and he will not fight, because he really can't afford to lose.
And that's just in terms of troops.
There is also a problem - grain and grass.
Whether it is a planter or a planter, in order to reach Jingzhou as soon as possible this time, they all only carried a small amount of grain and grass.
That bit of grain and grass, the planter Dao and the planter are about to be eaten up on the road.
And in Hongzhou City, there is not much grain and grass left.
The two parts of the Seed Master Dao and the Seed Master are added together, including Hong Zai's 20,000 soldiers and 50,000 people, which is 170,000 mouths.
If all these 170,000 mouths are stubbornly waiting for help in Hongzhou, then there will be a tragedy of cannibalism.
Therefore, the planter Daocai only left the planter to lead 50,000 horses in Hongzhou, while he took 70,000 troops and 50,000 people out to find a place with a lot of grain to fight a dozen to see if the problem of grain and grass could be solved.
With the traitor Hong Zai here, it is easy to know which of the cities controlled by Fang La has more grain and grass.
In the end, the seed master chose Jiangzhou City.
There are actually many reasons why the Seed Master Dao chose Jiangzhou City:
The first reason was naturally because Lu Mai was worried that Jiangzhou City would be surrounded and attacked by the Song army, so he hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Hongzhou City.
The second reason is that there is no insurance for two entrances at one entrance.
The third reason is that Hongzhou can only be taken by land, and the grain and grass baggage is not easy to transport, while the Jiangzhou is different, and the grain and grass baggage can be carried down the river and is convenient for transportation.
The fourth reason is that in the case of no food and grass, and no reinforcements, the planter Dao really did not dare to go deep alone.
In short, after Raocheng was defeated, the seed master sent someone to escort all the grain and grass materials in Raocheng to Hongzhou City, and at the same time sent a secret letter to the seed master, with only two words on it - Jiangzhou.
Then there was a battle between the Seed Master Dao and the Seed Master in the middle of the Jiangzhou City.
After capturing Jiangzhou City, the Planter Dao immediately deployed defenses in Jiangzhou.
As a veteran who has fought all his life, the Seed Master Dao will definitely not choose to withdraw everyone into Jiangzhou City to wait for help.
- Seed Master Dao divided the 6,000 elite cavalry into two groups, gave an order to one of them, allowing them to go anywhere in Jingzhou to raise food, and then put the 3,000 horse army that came and went like the wind into Jingzhou, after which the Seed Master Dao led the other 3,000 elite horse army and all the infantry troops into Jiangzhou City to wait for reinforcements.
Among the planters in Hongzhou, the measures to deal with them are almost the same as those of the planters......
……
Let's talk about Fang La.
After learning that he had been tricked by the old horseman of the Seed Master Dao, Fang La was furious and threatened that after catching the Seed Master Dao, he would peel the Seed Master Dao and cramp.
At the same time, a group of strategists under Fang La's hands began to analyze Fang La's hindsight how much influence the loss of Hongzhou and Jiangzhou had on their Yongle Dynasty.
In fact, there is no need for others to analyze it now, Fang La himself can see the situation clearly.
After Hongzhou and Jiangzhou were lost, the Song army must have entered western Zhejiang through these two passages.
At that time, his Fangla's territory will bear the brunt, and it can even be said that when he is gone, it will be Li Cunshang's turn.
In other words, now that the positions of his Fang La and Li Cun have been completely reversed, it is he Fang La who wants to compete with Zhao Song and the sandpiper and the clam , and Li Cun has become the fisherman who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, and even the fisherman who gains in the end.
Fang La's hatred!
He hated Hong Zai for betraying the enemy and surrendering!
He hated Lu Mai for being useless!
He hated the counsellors for mistaking him!
He hates good luck and cares about Li Cun and not himself!
He hated that the Song army was not honestly fighting against Li Cun on the Eastern Front, but he came to his Western Front!
Hate hate hate hate hate ......
Fang La couldn't care about his image as a quasi-emperor anymore, so he drew his sword and cut everything he could see!
Some time ago, a small landlord named "Cao Changlai" who was forced to serve Fang La, saw that Fang La's general trend had gone, thought that the opportunity had come, and stepped forward and said: "Holy Father, the minister has a plan, which can reverse the situation!" ”
When Fang La heard this, he stopped venting and asked, "What do you have in mind?" ”
Cao Changlai took out a notice and said: "This is a notice sent by the Song army to infiltrate our Shezhou, which says that as long as the Holy Father surrenders to the Song Dynasty, the past will not be investigated, and it will be ......."
As soon as he finished saying the word "yet", Cao Changlai felt that he was flying.
Cao Changlai looked down and saw Fang La, who was retracting his sword, and a corpse with a missing head, Cao Changlai's last thought was: "This corpse is so familiar." ”
After Cao Changlai's head fell to the ground and rolled out for more than ten meters, Fang La gritted his teeth and said: "It's cheap, if I wasn't angry, I would have made him die a bad death!" ”
Fang La didn't look at the courtiers who were so frightened that their faces turned pale, but coldly ordered: "Hang this guy on the city wall, announce it, and then dare to vote for the Song Dynasty, this will be the end of their generation!" ”
It's useless to lose your temper.
Fang La also knows this.
It is imperative to come up with a solution to the problem.
After repeatedly discussing with a group of strategists for a long time, Fang La finally fully confirmed that he had only one way to go, and that was to recapture Hongzhou and Jiangzhou.
Fang La knew that this time he really couldn't be opportunistic, and he was bound to fight a hard battle.
Therefore, Fang La gathered 200,000 troops and came to the city of Jiangzhou, lined up for more than 30 miles, and built a series of camps along the way, which was aggressive.
On the morning of June 3, under the personal command of Fang La, Fang La's righteous army launched a fierce attack on the Song army with superior forces.
"Burn my body, blaze the flames. What is the joy of life, and why is it so painful to die? For the sake of good and evil, only the light is the cause. Joy and sorrow are dust. Have mercy on the world, and there are many sorrows......"
Under the chanting of the Manichaean followers, the soldiers of the Fangla Righteous Army, fearless of life and death, climbed the city wall one after another.
In the face of such a fierce attack, the seed master Dao was also very calm.
The infantry led by He Shifan and Kou Yu, relying on the favorable terrain and building strong fortifications, condescended to give full play to the advantages of the Song army's bows and crossbows, and killed and injured a large number of Fangla rebels from a long distance.
The infantry concentrated their strong bows and crossbows, took turns to select and shoot, and lost their shots like rain, thwarting three large-scale attacks by Fang La's army.
At dusk, when the Fangla Yijun retreated, the seed master Dao sent Zhang Zhongfu to lead the horse army to cover up and kill, inflicting heavy casualties on the Fangla Yijun.
The next day, when the Fangla Righteous Army, which had been fighting fiercely for a day, collected its troops and returned to the camp and burned the fire to cook, the Seed Master Dao sent an excellent archer to shoot at the fire with a strong bow, which frightened the Fangla Righteous Army not daring to light the fire.
As a result, at the second watch, the Seed Master Dao sent 3,000 horse troops in the city to attack Fang La's camp, killing Fang La's righteous army and howling wolves.
That's it, the three thousand horse army left outside by the key seed master Dao are elusive, and if Fang Layi doesn't pay attention, they will be shot and killed by these three thousand horse army.
All in all, Master Dao used his experience in fighting a lifetime to teach Fang La a good lesson, so that Fang La finally knew that fighting this kind of thing is really not something that can be done by singing a few verses......
