Chapter 335: Review
The Yan army went south, and the news that it had reached the periphery of Dezhou spread to the camp of the southern army, Sheng Yong convened the generals to discuss for a long time, and then took 200,000 troops out of Dezhou to advance towards the Jiahe River, preparing to give Zhu Di, the king of Yan, defeat here again.
As for why he didn't hold on to Texas City, the reason is very simple, first, because Texas has just been recovered, and the Twelve Acropolis have been burned. The second is because Zhending is too far away from Texas, when he didn't figure out what Zhu Di wanted, Sheng Yong didn't dare to stay in the city and stay motionless, he was a rebellious general, if he sat back and watched Zhu Di go to fight Zhending and didn't send troops, then there would be no way to explain to His Majesty.
And the third and most important point is Sheng Yong's own insistence.
In a war, where the battlefield is is too important, and the battle of Dongchang has strengthened Sheng Yong's idea, so no matter what, he has to choose the battlefield by himself and hold his fate in his own hands.
This time, he chose Jiahe.
The Jiahe River is a tributary of the Zhanghe River, the water level rises in this season, and the land on the riverside is soft, which will have a great impact on the cavalry, and the foot soldiers do not have to worry about this, and if the camp is across the river, Zhu Di's most skilled cavalry raid will not be useful, after all, the movement of the army crossing the river can be seen clearly every few miles.
But when he personally led the army to reach the Jiahe River, he was disappointed, because the Yan army arrived earlier than him, and had already crossed the river to set up camp, and at this time he couldn't turn back, so he had no choice but to set up camp and look at the Yan army camp from a distance of forty miles.
The camp has been established, and then we should consider how to fight this battle, more than 200,000 people are in the camp for ten miles, and there is a hustle and bustle, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, Sheng Yong also took his generals to look at the sand table over and over again, hoping to find the weakness of the Yan army and repeat the old things in Dongchang.
In just half a day, the two armies entered the phase of stalemate.
The importance of finding out the enemy's reality and reality, Sheng Yong, as a general, is naturally very clear, but in fact, he didn't have much hope when he sent a scout horse, how good the Yan army scouts were, the wars in the past two years are all living examples, if you want to take advantage of the scout war before the war, it is undoubtedly a little whimsical, but fortunately, Sheng Yong can't find out the Yan army's camp, Zhu Di doesn't want to figure out his reality, in addition to the rows of rejected horses outside the current camp, it is a crossbow soldier with poisoned arrows, as long as the Yan army scouts dare to approach, The custody is shot into a sieve.
Of course, the scouts who dare to reconnoiter the enemy on the front line are definitely not afraid of death, just like the first camp during the siege, although the probability of death is not ordinarily high, but the treatment is often the best, but this time, Sheng Yong does not plan to give Zhu Di the slightest chance to explore his camp.
It's just that the world is impermanent, Sheng Yong's good luck seems to have come to an end in Dongchang, this time he failed to resist the Yan army in the north, just the second day of the camp, the front of the horse sent back the news, the Yan army camp moved frequently, the battalions of the soldiers and horses have been arrayed, it seems that they are going to launch an active attack.
Sheng Yong looked at it, and this is still there? Zhu Di was afraid that he was going to come to play with his life this time, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to go out of the camp and line up, a distance of forty miles, which was enough for the southern army to complete preparations before the arrival of the Yan army.
Hearing the military order, the soldiers in the southern army camp have picked up their weapons, this time the formation of the southern army is no different from Dongchang, with shield soldiers located in front of the whole army and the left and right flanks to prevent the Yan army from raiding, equipped with a large number of bows and crossbows The soldiers are placed on the two wings, always beware of Zhu Di with the cavalry and playing the same old way, and the large camp behind him is stationed with more than 10,000 spearmen.
Perfect.
Sheng Yong, who was dressed in heavy armor, rode on a horse, living in the middle army, looking at the large array he had set up with his own hands, confirming that there was not a single omission, Rao was puzzled by such a sudden attack by the Yan army, and he couldn't help but feel at ease for his complete preparation, he looked at the north deadly, ready to observe the enemy's movements at all times, a wisp of smoke and dust slowly enlarged from the end of the field of vision, and it was the vanguard cavalry of the Yan army who rushed over first!
And looking at the direction of their charge, is it to hit the shield soldier holding the shield head-on?
For a moment, Sheng Yong wondered if Zhu Di had a bad brain... But as he saw the charging Yan cavalry thoroughly, his mouth slowly grew.
Is that... Zhu Di's handsome flag! It was Zhu Di who rushed over with the troops! And look at the number of cavalry, where is the Yan army attacking? Zhu Di rushed over with only a few dozen rides!
Sheng Yong was stunned, he had dreamed many times that he would catch Zhu Di with his own hands to wash away the shame of Jinan City being besieged for three months, and now this person actually rushed in front of him alone, and the walking military exploits and low-hanging fruit revenge were in front of him!
The southern army formation also made a commotion because of this lonely small detachment, everyone recognized Zhu Di's handsome banner, but no one knew what he wanted to do, the smoke and dust rushed to the front of the southern army formation, but did not approach those shield soldiers, but swept by, Sheng Yong's eyelids jumped, even if he was dull at this moment, he knew what Zhu Di's idea was.
The whole Yan army assembled, and the southern army naturally had to make moves, and as soon as the formation was opened, Zhu Di actually personally led his troops over to reconnoiter the enemy's situation!
However, Sheng Yong soon found out in despair that he couldn't do anything to Zhu Di, in the past, the best way to deal with this kind of reconnaissance cavalry was to give him an arrow and shoot him off his horse, but His Majesty the Emperor's will had only spread throughout the army a few days ago, how could he dare to order the arrows to be released? How dare he let His Majesty the Merciful bear the charge of killing the imperial uncle?
Sheng Yong's eyes were split, although he had doubted the appropriateness and feasibility of His Majesty's almost mentally retarded benevolence more than once, but he finally chose to obey the will and pass on the military order, which was really a stone to shoot himself in the foot, although it was difficult for him to endure this kind of extreme pain and loss that could be seen but not eaten at the moment, but how could he dare to disobey His Majesty's clear order before the whole army?
Zhu Di and the reconnaissance cavalry have gone around to the flank, when he found that the southern army really did not make any moves, he was a lot bolder, and even got closer and closer to the southern army's military formation, the spring breeze was proud, Zhu Di's face slowly bloomed with an unscrupulous smile, he swept the stunned faces of those southern soldiers one by one, as if he was reviewing his own army, although everyone in the queue gave him angry eyes and scolded loudly, but they... really didn't dare to hurt Zhu Di a single hair.
And when Zhu Di had already finished reading the two wings, and was even about to go around to the camp to see, Sheng Yong finally couldn't bear it, he ordered the cavalry to pursue Zhu Di, of course, he didn't forget to add the order to capture it, but Zhu Di was not stupid, seeing the southern army changing formations, the cavalry speeding up, he immediately turned around and ran with dozens of horses, in order to run fast, the Yan army that came this time was equipped with the best war horses, and under the speed, the cavalry of the southern army could only follow Zhu Di's ass to eat ashes, and watched Zhu Di escape back to his own military formation, Only horseshoe prints were left on the soft ground on the riverbank.
Despair not only appeared on Sheng Yong's face, but also crawled all over the faces of all the soldiers of the Southern Army.
The dignified Yan King... Why the fuck are you like a scoundrel?
……
As soon as Zhu Di returned to the camp with his troops, all the aggressive Yan troops simply put away their weapons and began to bury the pot to cook, and a bunch of generals surrounded Zhu Di, all of whom were amazed by Zhu Di's move, you must know that Zhu Neng is the kind of person who is not afraid of death and has courage in the world, but there are really not many people who can come up with this method to exploit loopholes and find another way.
Zhu Di, who had completed the reconnaissance mission, took off his helmet and took off three layers of leather armor, the rampant smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he walked quickly into the Chinese army's tent.
Sheng Yong... It's really not a waste of fame, "The Art of War" must have been seen many times, and the essence of the art of war is well understood, Zhu Di seems to be walking around, but in fact, it is just a spiritual victory method, and the blow to morale is indeed hit, but with the flawless formation of the southern army, there is no better way to attack, no matter which direction you attack, you can't get any benefits.
Sheng Yong and his army were still waiting for him there.
Engraved the situation of the enemy army on the sand table one by one, Zhu Di looked at the sand table and fell into contemplation, the generals were originally very excited because of Zhu Di's feat, and now they also had a headache when they looked at Sheng Yong's Wang Ba shell, Gu Huai, who was wearing a green shirt, looked at the sand table for a long time, and could only sigh that this Sheng Yong was afraid that he had obtained Geng Bingwen's true biography, and he really didn't give Yan Jun a chance, and he would put on the defensive as soon as he came up, the key was that this defensive position was so impeccable.
It's just that the offensive pressure is now on the side of the Yan army... Zhending Ping'an and the others are not vegetarians, and if they drag on here for one more day, the danger of being surrounded by the front and back is one point higher.
Zhang Yu is dead, and the second person in the seniority army is Zhu Neng, but Zhu Neng is a big old man who can only lead troops, he doesn't look at the atmosphere at all, he looks at the sand table without saying a word, Qiu Fu, who has always been a striker, is not much better than him, Tan Yuan is too restrained, Gu Cheng and Zhang Xin are also generals, it is not good to take the initiative to speak, Gu Huai swept around, and he could only open his mouth to break the silence: "Lord Wang, since the enemy army has not shown flaws, how about a feint?" ”
If you can't detect anything, then use the method of temptation, Zhu Di glanced at Gu Huai appreciatively: "I think the same way, it's just past noon now, but there is still time, since that's the case... Qiu Fu! ”
"The last general!"
"After the whole army buries the pot and cooks, you bring 5,000 foot soldiers, and I will bring another 10,000 cavalry, and take advantage of the unstable return of the southern army to the camp and rush into a wave!"
Zhu Neng was so excited that his face turned red: "The last general obeys the order!" ”
Seeing that Zhu Di's old problem had been committed again, Gu Huai couldn't help but have a little headache, he shook his head lightly: "Lord, this time is different, I only brought a few dozen horsemen before, and the whole army of the Southern Army can see it clearly, so naturally I don't dare to release arrows, but if the prince wants to take the lead in a surprise attack, this layer of umbrella will be useless, and there are no eyes for swords and arrows in the chaotic army, so why risk your life?" ”
Many generals originally wanted to persuade, but they didn't dare to speak because of Zhu Di's prestige, and now that Gu Huai spoke up, they also responded one after another, Zhu Di frowned and thought for a long time before he spoke: "That... Well, who wants to take these 10,000 cavalry? ”
The young Gu Cheng stood up: "The last general is willing to go!" ”
Zhu Di nodded slightly, and glanced at the generals: "Then go down and prepare, although it is only a feint, but if you find a flaw, it will not turn into a general attack!" All battalions and horses, don't slack off! ”
The generals responded violently, and came out of the big tent with murderous spirit, Zhu Di looked back and saw that Gu Huai was still staring at the sand table, and couldn't help laughing: "You don't go to prepare?" ”
"Prepare what?"
"Come less," Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder, "It's not that I haven't brought soldiers... You're still more suitable for leading cavalry, see if you can surprise me again this time! ”
