Chapter 416: Tenth Army Support
Glancing at the gap between the two shields, and seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Li Xian scolded and said, "Damn, shoot hard in this direction, bullying us There are no crossbowmen on our side, and they have the ability to attack!" Lao Tzu slashed one by one, and cut off all his heads for him!"
Listening to Li Xian's scolding, Meng Song smiled and said, "You, as a Sima of the First Army, can you maintain your image in front of the soldiers."
Li Xian listened to Meng Song's words, looked at him with strange eyes, and said, "Marshal, do you know that your current image is not much better than mine."
Meng Song stroked his hair and said indifferently: "With this kind of hellish scene, who can have any image at all, but Lao Li, you can't do it, you only killed a few people, look at me, I have killed ten people one after another."
Li Xian glanced at him, and then said, "Marshal, how can you hold it?"
Meng Song looked up at the sun, then smiled and said, "Of course. From the beginning, there was no chance of us losing."
Meng Song looked ahead and continued: "Let's talk about the soldiers of Youjun first, most of the Youjun soldiers outside the city are troops recruited from all over the country by Youguo, and they have not experienced as many battles in Liaodong and Liaoxi, so they are not rich in combat experience, especially the lack of this kind of big war of more than 100,000 people. After being recruited, he has been training in the thistle, eating and drinking well, and living a high-spirited life.
Let's talk about the generals of the Youjun Army, just talk about Han Xu, the captain of Youguo, this person's experience is much worse than Duan Yilu. Duan Yilu, as a foreign race, became a confidant of the Emperor of Youguo, and it was all fought with a knife and a gun. This Han Xuan Enyin entered the office, and when he joined the Youjun Army, he started from the uncle, and the road was smooth, and he finally became a captain. The pride in his heart is not comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, he was contemptuous of our Tang army, and dared to launch an attack in such a short period of time before dark, without investigating the military situation in Zhuolu County, which was really arrogant and arrogant! He thought that Zhuolu County was paper-paste, and thought that it could be captured in a short time.
No, he can't! Give him a day, he won't be able to do it! Han Shu will definitely pay the price for his arrogance, and the Youjun army will definitely pay the price for their recklessness, and within a few days, the Youjun army outside the city will be defeated by Zhuolu."
Meng Song's tone of voice was steady and confident, making everyone feel inexplicably reassured.
In fact, at this moment, Han Xuan, the commander of the Youjun Army, is indeed secretly regretting it.
He didn't regret attacking Zhuolu County, attacking Zhuolu was a must, no matter how difficult Zhuolu was to attack, he also had to conquer Zhuolu, after all, Zhuolu's geographical location was too critical.
What Han Xuan really regretted was that he had launched this siege battle in such a short period of time before dark.
Just like Meng Song said, there are very few big battles that this requisitioned army has participated in, and the wars that Han Shu himself participated in can be written on a letterhead. And as the first lieutenant in the history of Youguo who can command an army of 400,000, he is high-spirited, and looks down on the generals as the savior of Youguo.
This journey is indeed too smooth. It was precisely because of the smooth progress in the early stage that Han Xuan mistakenly thought that Zhuolu County could be easily obtained, even though it was very close to dark, it was enough to capture this city.
However, he never expected that the 400,000 Youjun ran into a wall in Zhuolu County and stormed for two hours, but he didn't even attack the city wall.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, but the battle situation had not made any progress, Han Xuan frowned tightly and clenched the reins of his horse in annoyance.
If he had known that Zhuolu County was so difficult, he would definitely have calculated the time, arrived outside Zhuolu County in the morning, and spent half a day attacking this city;
If he had known that Zhuolu County was so difficult, even if it would delay the speed of the march, he must have prepared a few siege vehicles and rushing cars in advance, instead of just bringing some flying ladders. What to do?
Looking at Zhuolu City in the distance, Han Xuan fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he let out a long breath and instructed left and right: "Pass my order, Mingjin will collect the troops, stay for a few days to recuperate enough energy, and then take Zhuolu ......
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a shout in the distance: "Lord Taiwei!"
Han Xuan turned his head to look, and immediately saw two scouts rushing to him panting, and said eagerly, "General Qiqi, there is an army from the south of our army
It's coming!"
"What?" Han Xuan's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head.
Sure enough, I saw that in the south, there was a faint group of men and horses rushing towards this side.
This direction is 雊瞀县! Not good! It must have been the Tang army over there in Yanyu County who learned that I led the army to attack Zhuolu, so they led the army to rush to reinforcements!
Han Xuan was shocked in his heart, and immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Pass my order, let Li Congbu turn behind him and prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
Just a few minutes later, Li Congbu had all his backs to the Zhuolu city wall and put on a posture to meet the enemy. Not only Li Congbu, but also the soldiers and soldiers around Han Xuan also turned around.
The abnormality of the headquarters of the Youjun army was naturally seen by the Tang army on the gate of Zhuolu City.
Immediately, a soldier said to Meng Song: "Commander, look, for some reason, all the soldiers who stayed in this formation turned their backs to my Zhuolu and put on a posture to meet the battle."
"What?"
Meng Song listened, his expression was stunned, and he walked to the city wall with the ring head knife, looking at the hidden army left behind in the distance outside the city.
Sure enough, those people in the distance did have their backs to him Zhuolu and put on a posture to meet the enemy.
Looking further away, Meng Song vaguely saw a large group of people and horses, coming quickly towards Zhuolu from the south, and he knew that it was the acting prince of Yanyu County who was bringing troops.
Meng Song shouted, "It's reinforcements coming! It's reinforcements!"
"Report! The Youjun army has not yet invaded Zhuolu County!"
"Report! The Phantom Army has noticed our army!"
On the way to lead the army to quickly approach the county seat of Zhuolu, several scouts rode their horses to Wang Bo and hurriedly admonished.
The good news is that the Youjun has not yet invaded Zhuolu County; The bad news was that the shadowy army in the distance had noticed them, so they quickly turned around and turned back to meet the enemy.
Normally, at this time, Wang Bo should order a rush to attack the enemy, killing the latter by surprise, if Meng Song in Zhuolu County knows the reason and strategy, at this time he should lead the army out of the city, and cooperate with him to launch a front and rear attack on the Youjun.
In this way, the ghost army will be severely damaged.
But after careful consideration, Wang Bo dispelled this tempting idea.
The reason is very simple, first of all, the Tenth Army under his command is only more than 45,000 people, which is weak compared to the huge number of Ghost Army.
Moreover, the Youjun army faced by their Tenth Army did not participate in the attack just now, and their Tenth Army had just experienced a fifty-mile rapid march, so it might not be able to have an advantage in physical strength and morale. qs
Secondly, Wang Bo was very skeptical that Zhuolu County still had the ability to take the initiative to attack, after all, the defenders in the city had been fighting for a long time, and the water and rice had not entered.
After some thought, Wang Bo waved his hand and gave an order: "Send the order down, the whole army is arrayed, ready to meet the enemy!"
At the sound of an order, the Tang sergeants of the 10th Army led by him stopped advancing and set up a neat phalanx to meet the enemy.
