Chapter 1215: See you in seven days
Smoke billowed in the distance, and Taiping led the remnants of the defeated army to flee back to the military formation.
This battle was fought badly, and I was just surrounded, and I almost couldn't run.
If he was captured alive by the Beiying Army, it would be a great shame. Anyway, he is also a second-class general.
"Chitose Lord, General Taiping was attacked by surprise and lost in ambush, and our side suffered heavy losses." As soon as the herald had finished giving the order, Admiralty ran into the camp.
Su Xuan held the teacup in his hand and stiffened in the air.
"How many people have been lost?" Su Xuan slowly put down the teacup and asked.
"Six or seven thousand." Admiralty replied.
At this time, Taiping also ran in, only to see him holding his helmet, looking very embarrassed.
However, Su Xuan didn't look much surprised.
As the commander-in-chief, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and he has been sitting here for so many days, and he has already thought of countless possibilities and ways to deal with them.
It's just that Taiping and Admiralty lost six or seven thousand people, and Su Xuan was still very heartbroken.
But where are the immortals in war?
If you come out to mix, you have to suffer somewhere.
"Report! Chitose Lord, something is wrong! All three of our grain and grass have been occupied by the Beiying Army, and the grain and grass have been burned!" A herald rushed in and said urgently.
Hulukou fell, the Wushuang army lost nearly 7,000 people, and the grain and grass were burned.
That's a bit of a loss.
Regarding grain and grass or something, Su Xuan actually didn't feel heartache.
Pingyuan City was officially put into production this year, and even if it can only harvest one crop a year, as long as it waits for the autumn harvest, it will be an inexhaustible grain.
The dry food carried by the Wushuang Army was a compressed dry food specially made by Su Xuan, and each soldier carried a minimum of seven days' supply. If you save some food, it won't be a problem to manage it for ten days.
"Admiralty, Taiping, you two stinkers, can't stand up to each other's Zhuge Liang?" Su Xuan asked.
"Zhuge Liang? Who?" Taiping asked.
"It doesn't matter."
Su Xuan let out a long sigh, the grain and grass were burned, and now he no longer had the ability to fight a protracted battle here.
Nor did he plan to increase logistical supplies, which were stretched too long and vulnerable to attack.
Taiping was defeated so quickly, which Su Xuan didn't expect at all.
How can it be said that Taiping is also a handsome talent, and there is a golden bell here, and there are 20,000 troops, why did he lose so quickly?
"Didn't you say that you would give you three hundred firecrackers, and you could stop the Beiying Army?" Su Xuan asked towards Taiping.
"This ...... The last general failed to complete the military order, and was willing to be punished." Taiping bowed his head and said.
Su Xuan's brows furrowed, but he didn't intend to punish Taiping.
From this encounter, Su Xuan also saw that Taiping still had certain shortcomings.
He can't fight ambush warfare, and it is estimated that he will be even worse in positional warfare.
Su Xuan thought of that fat man, if he was there, let him go to guard the gourd mouth, the Beiying Army would definitely not be able to move an inch.
It's a pity......
"So now we are facing the two sides of the Beiying Army and the Jizhou Army, as long as the Beiying Army fights, the Jizhou Army may go out of the city at any time and attack us with the Beiying Army." Su Xuan said.
"The Beiying Army and the Jizhou Army have a total of more than 200,000 troops, which is twice as large as ours. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight." Admiralty said in a deep voice.
"Hard to beat? Master Chunfeng, do you say it's hard to fight?" Su Xuan asked.
"What are you afraid of him doing? Come and cut as much as the old lady wants." Chunfeng said.
"Gather all the generals and go outside the tent to obey orders." Su Xuan said in a deep voice.
Admiralty hurriedly went out to gather the generals.
Su Xuan was quickly adjusting his combat ideas.
In the battle of Jizhou, both sides invested a total of more than 300,000 troops.
Su Xuan wants to dispatch an army of 100,000, which is not easy.
In fact, for Su Xuan, what he has to do is very simple, as long as he customizes the strategic direction and then distributes the tactics
。
There is no doubt about the execution of the unequaled army.
Soon, all the generals were outside the tent and obeyed.
Su Xuan and his party walked out of the tent, and everyone quickly returned to their positions.
"The big war is coming, and we can only win this battle, not lose it. Two thin."
"Yes!"
"The Shenji Battalion is all at your disposal, you don't need to enter the battlefield as soon as possible, you just need to wait for more than half of the Jizhou army to leave the city, and then cut off their retreat back to the city. I'll hand you over two cannons." Su Xuan ordered.
"Command!"
"Admiralty."
"The end will be!"
"Give you two thousand cavalry, and then bring those three hundred firecrackers, and after going around to the gourd valley, cut off the retreat of the northern camp army. If the Beiying army flees, you can take two thousand horsemen to chase and kill two hundred miles." Su Xuan ordered.
"The last general commands!"
"Peace."
"Yes!"
"You take 30,000 orders, go to Hulukou, and block the Beiying Army."
"Huh?" Taiping just lost the battle, Su Xuan gave him 20,000 people, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, and now give him 30,000 people, the more people he has, the more bottomless he is.
"Ahh Before the battle, just take orders." Su Xuan said coldly.
"Commanding ......" Taiping obviously has no confidence.
Su Xuan also saw Taiping's weakness, he was a peerless ghost talent, and he was good at throwing thousands of pounds in four or two.
If you really want to give him a large number of troops, he can't understand it.
After all, he is not Xu Sanpang, if Xu Sanpang is here, there will be a way of playing with few troops, and there will be a way of playing with more troops.
Su Xuan felt that if he gave the Taiping 35,000 men now, maybe he would be able to lead a small number of troops to achieve unexpected combat results.
But give him a big force and he will definitely lose.
What Su Xuan wants is for Taiping to lose for a while, which is not only about Su Xuan's strategic policy, but also about Taiping's experience in commanding a large-scale army.
With his talent, if he loses two or three times, he will have experience in the future, and he will know how to fight large-scale team battles.
It is not difficult to see from the surprise attack on Qinghe County before Taiping and the major results achieved that he is far more powerful than Su Xuan imagined.
Since Taiping is a genius, Su Xuan wants to cultivate him into an all-round genius.
SSR card, you can't waste it like this.
In the Peerless Army, someone must replace Xu Sanpang and become as handsome as Xu Sanpang.
Except for Shen Qi, Taiping is the best candidate.
"Master Chunfeng."
"Yes."
"You lead the Wushuang Army to 5,000 elite cavalry, and after the Taiping is defeated, the Beiying Army enters the Jizhou Plain, and you will lead the cavalry to start a head-on battle with the Beiying Army." Su Xuan ordered.
"Command!"
"Master Chunfeng."
"Yes."
"Do you dare to make a military order?" Su Xuan asked with a smile.
"What military order?" Chunfeng asked.
"We must take down the Beiying Army as soon as possible after the battle starts and defeat them." Su Xuan said.
The spring breeze curled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "I'll take this military order!" It's just that if I can defeat the Beiying army in one wave, Xiao Xuanzi will have to reward me and my soldiers heavily."
Su Xuan grinned and asked rhetorically, "When have I ever treated my brothers badly?"
"Okay, then I'll take it! If you don't defeat the Beiying Army, I'll come to see you in the spring breeze!" The spring breeze said loudly.
"The Beiying Army has firearms, and we don't have enough firearms, but we have an advantage in the number of compound bows, and all the compound bows will be handed over to you. You also know where the firecrackers are, so I don't need to say more." Su Xuan said.
"Yes." Chunfeng replied.
The fire gun is not an invincible existence in the first place.
Once the distance is opened, the ability of the compound bow to break through armor is far stronger than that of the fire gun.
The number of Peerless Army compound bows is quite a lot, and it has exceeded a thousand.
With such a strong firepower, even if Chunfeng only brought 5,000 people, she was confident that she could defeat the Beiying army.
Fighting, for the Musou Army, a small number of people has never been a problem.
Five thousand people is just enough for the spring breeze.
"Guo Qu."
"Yes!"
"You lead the Chinese army, and after General Chunfeng and the Beiying Army start a war, you will immediately press up and attract the firepower of the Beiying Army for General Chunfeng." Su Xuan ordered.
"Command!" Guo Qu gave up his hand to take the order.
"Fifth brother." Su Xuan raised his eyebrows at Qian Wu.
Of all the generals standing in front of Su Xuan, only Qian Wu was a squad leader.
However, Qian Wu can listen to Su Xuan's account almost every time, although he may not always get a military order.
Because under Su Xuan's account, he is already a fierce general.
"Hehe, Chitose Lord, is it really okay to call me Fifth Brother in front of so many people?" Qian Wu scratched his head and said with a smile.
Now it's not just Su Xuan who calls him Fifth Brother, almost the whole army calls him Fifth Brother.
"Go and report to Shen Qi that the main force of Jizhou City will be handed over to him to deal with. In addition, I will give you another very difficult task." Su Xuan said.
"Chitose, please command!"
"Do you remember how we took Yunzhou City?" Su Xuan asked.
"Little remember." Qian Wu replied.
"I don't have enough people here, so I can't send you extra brothers. Let Shen Qi give you 5,000 of the most elite troops, and you will use the method you used in Yunzhou to carry out an air attack on the military camp in Jizhou City." Su Xuan said.
"Command!" Qian Wulang said.
"Sun Tong."
"Yes!"
"You take your subordinates and assist the Spring Breeze in attacking the Beiying Army."
"Command!"
Su Xuan thought about it carefully, and the strategic deployment was almost like this.
The number of people is not a problem, the next is left to everyone.
"Remember, our food and grass have been burned, and the dry food we carry with us at the moment is only enough for seven days. The battle of Jizhou must be over within seven days!" Su Xuan said.
Since you can't fight a long siege, let's fight a quick battle.
At this time, Shadow Moon raised her hand and pointed at herself, and asked in a low and anxious voice, "Hey, hey, what about me?"
"Master Shadow Moon, of course you're in charge of protecting me. You see, the generals have been sent out, and I definitely need someone who can resist the pressure to protect me." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Ah......h Well, that's a military order, right?" Shadow Moon asked.
"Sort of."
"Command!"
"Prepare for battle!"
Su Xuan gave an order, and everyone left quickly.
Most of Su Xuan's energy was spent on dealing with the Beiying Army.
His main combat strength is still Chunfeng, and Chunfeng and Sun Tong are both used to deal with the Beiying Army, so Shen Qi has to deal with the Jizhou Army.
Shen Qi's win or loss is actually not as important as Su Xuan's win or loss.
As long as the Beiying army is defeated and collapsed, they can only retreat.
At that time, even if Shen Qi can't resist the offensive of the Jizhou army, Su Xuan can also turn around and attack Jizhou after defeating the Beiying army.
And Su Xuan also made some strategic arrangements for the Jizhou Army, as long as Shen Qi's side was a little stronger, it would not be a big problem to take Jizhou City.
Whether Su Xuan can unify the north will be known immediately after seven days.
