Chapter 197: The Situation on the Battlefield

Pei Wen'an's army just took Hedong County last night, and then hit Pujin Pass, and the soldiers were tired.

He had to do this, as the so-called soldiers are fast, from the requisition of the army, to the march of the army to Hedong County, Pei Wenan has always been in a hurry, because he wants to take Pujin Pass before the reaction of the Beijing Division, so as to cross the Yellow River and enter Guanzhong.

But now the situation has changed, the reinforcements from the Beijing Division came so quickly, and that Li Jing in Hedong County was too good at delaying, and he forcibly mixed his 80,000 army into the current mess.

Now, if you want to cross the river smoothly, you must annihilate all the enemy troops who have come ashore.

But now it seems that it is unlikely.

The enemy army is menacing, long live Yang Sushi is here, he Pei Wenan is just an unknown person, and when he hears the names of these two people, he is also very nervous.

But it's more exciting, to be able to fight with Yang Sushi, if he wins, he Pei Wenan will definitely go down in history.

A military intelligence report was sent to the big tent, and the enemy's middle army had already approached Pujin Pass along the official road.

If there were no reinforcements from Qiao Zhongkui, with the current situation, he would have to withdraw.

But the reinforcements are already on the way, and if he withdraws, Qiao Zhongkui will inevitably be in chaos.

Qiao Zhongkui has 40,000 fresh troops, as long as he plans properly, the situation is still dominant.

"How many enemy forces are there?" Pei Wenan asked the scout.

The scout who had just entered the big tent said, "Catch some wounded soldiers, but their tone is inconsistent, the defenders of the east of the river say that there are 200,000 troops, and the sergeants who cross the river say that there are 500,000 troops."

"Fuck it! 500,000 troops, sprinkle beans into soldiers? How to cross the river? Swim here? All the military governments in Guanzhong combined, there are no 200,000,000,"

Pei Wen'an sneered, looked around, and sneered: "The enemy army used this suspicious tactic, it can be seen that their troops are insufficient, so they immediately sent a message to Qiao Zhuguo, asking him to set up camp in Yuxiang, east of Hedong County."

Pei Wen'an expected that it would be impossible for the Dingjing Division to recruit enough sergeants in such a short period of time, so the army crossing the river should be about 50,000.

When the enemy is sleepy, it is the time of decisive battle.

We can't waste any more time on Pujin Pass, the enemy's main force has already crossed the river, and if we want to take Pujin Pass, we will pay a great price, and the gains outweigh the losses.

So he ordered the army to retreat and retreat to Hedong County for rectification.

On the battlefield, as long as the army is withdrawn, there will inevitably be a large number of attrition, but Pei Wenan doesn't care, as long as he retains the main force and joins Qiao Zhongkui, he can calmly set up a position and fight to the death.

Yang Ming's counterinsurgency army, all the cavalry was handed over to Changsun Cheng, because Changsun Cheng had been dealing with the Turks all the year round and knew how to use the cavalry.

At noon the next day, the eldest grandson Chengcai led the cavalry to cross the river, and after crossing the river, he did not rest for a moment, and led the army north directly along the river bank, bypassing the Hedong area, and going straight to the direction of Jinzhou.

Both Yang Ming and Yang Su believed that Jinju was absolutely empty, and Yang Su relied on experience to judge this result, while Yang Ming relied on historical knowledge.

After meeting with Li Jing, Yang Ming learned of Xiao Maha's movements.

Li Jing had Yang Ming's transfer order in his hand, Xiao Maha didn't dare to be disobedient, and had already led the royal palace composed of local bandits and robbers to ambush in the surrounding areas of Hedong County, waiting for an opportunity to move.

….

In ancient times, the march and withdrawal of the army relied on two legs, and Yang Ming also got the exact news at noon, Pei Wenan was withdrawing the army, and the withdrawal was very orderly, and he didn't see it at first.

On his side, firstly, it is difficult to chase without cavalry, and secondly, the sergeant is very tired, so Yang Ming ordered that he should not pursue.

"It seems that Pei Wen'an is planning to integrate the army in one place and fight a decisive battle with us," in Pujin Pass, Yang Sushi and others are there.

Although Guancheng was saved, the situation was not optimistic, Yang Su pointed to the map and said:

"Our army crossed the river in a hurry, and after a night of fighting, it was quite scattered, and there was no suitable place for the army to camp around, so we had to go to Hedong County to rest and recuperate, and Pei Wenan must be waiting for us in Hedong County."

In the vicinity of Pujin Pass, there are not even a single village or township, and there is no place for the army to rest.

Shi Wansui also nodded and said: "Pei Wen'an must think that our army crossed the river overnight, it was when he was tired, and he wanted to wait for work in Hedong County and clean us up.

Yang Su nodded in agreement, and looked at Yang Ming to see what he meant.

At first, the plan set by everyone in the military department was to directly fight with Pei Wen'an's main force and defeat the other party in one fell swoop.

But at the moment, for the sake of the situation, Yang Ming guessed that Yang and Shi didn't want to overconsume Pei Wen'an here, otherwise they were afraid that they would not have enough troops to attack Jinyang at that time.

Yang Ming pondered for a long time and said, "Everyone, look at this."

I saw him pointing to the map and said: "Let's do it the other way around, Guo Yan leads 10,000 people and goes north directly, but we have to create a momentum, so that Pei Wenan thinks that we don't want Hedong, and the army will go directly to Jinzhou, if Pei Wenan is fooled and returns north to intercept, then we will chase after the tail and come to a north-south trap, if Pei Wenan is not fooled, we will defend Pujin Pass, as long as the eldest grandson Cheng Guo Yan takes the counties of Jinzhou one after another, Pei Wenan can't sit still if he wants to come."

"This plan is feasible," Yang Su nodded.

"Our soldiers are tired, Pei Wen'an is the same, maybe he is counting on Qiao Zhongkui's reinforcements, in the surrounding area, only Yuxiang is open, suitable for a large army to fight, Qiao Zhongkui's army is very likely to be stationed in this place, and Shi Wansui can lead a group of soldiers and horses to Yuxiang to drag Qiao Zhongkui, we will concentrate our forces to clean up Pei Wen'an first, and then turn around and clean up the surname Qiao."

Yang Ming added: "Time is pressing, the general (Guo Yan) will arrange to go, give you two hours to rest, and then go north immediately, as long as you find the pursuers on the way, if it is confirmed that it is Pei Wen'an's department, you can turn around and rush to kill."

Guo Yan didn't expect that Yang Ming, who went to the battlefield for the first time, planned so carefully, although there was an element of luck in this move, it was an excellent plan, if he could successfully eat Pei Wenan and Qiao Zhongkui, then going north to Jinyang would be a smooth road.

"Commanded!" At present, Guo Yan has quite recognized Yang Ming.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Remember to bring the flags of the Duke of Yue, the Duke of Taiping, and the king, so that it is easy to deceive Pei Wen'an."

Guo Yan was stunned for a moment, laughed and left.

Yang Su and Shi Wansui glanced at each other, and both of them thought in their hearts at the moment that Yang Ming was the commander of this expedition, and His Majesty had really chosen the right person.

….

He was the generalissimo of the marching army and the prince, and when he ordered Guo Yan, he ranked the two of them before himself, and it was obvious that this was lowering his figure and praising the two of them.

Knowing that Yang Ming was hiding a trace of caution, the two of them were still quite useful.

Changsun Cheng took away 20,000 cavalry, Guo Yan took 10,000 horses, and after the rest of the army was integrated with Li Jing's department, there were about 50,000 or so, of which 6,000 were wounded, and they had been arranged to return to the other side, and the rest was about 44,000 people.

Of the 6,000 wounded, more than half were unable to fight again because they couldn't see the road clearly at night, or broke their feet or broken their arms and legs.

Li Jing is really miserable, in addition to the 5,000 people taken away by Xiao Maha, the 16,000 soldiers under his command are less than 3,000, some are dead, some are injured and can no longer fight, and they have run a lot.

These deserters will be liquidated in the future, because they are all recruited by the local military government in Hedong and have household registrations to check.

However, this time, Li Jing made a great contribution, without him defending Hedong County and Pujin Pass, and holding back 80,000 rebels with a force of 16,000, Yang Ming's army would not have crossed the river so smoothly.

Once the river crossing is blocked, it is a big problem.

In addition, he is Yang Ming's henchman, and with Yang Ming to push up, when he talks about merit in the future, he will not be small.

Yang Ming now, he really wants to give Li Jing a chance to exercise, and it is best to lead an army alone, but Li Jing can't replace the above ones for the time being.

Pujin Pass, the place is small, and it can't accommodate these 44,000 people, except for the 20,000 people in Guancheng, the rest need to find a suitable place to rest and recuperate in the surrounding area.

These people are the ones who are really bitter.

The ordnance baggage had not yet been transported, and it was cold at night

Cold, the camp tent built with local materials and hastily is also leaking everywhere, and you can only find more dry grass to cover your body in order to survive the cold at night in Hedong.

But boiling like this is not a long-term solution, it is late autumn now, and the soldiers have no winter clothes, they can survive for a day or two, but they can't survive for three days or four days, otherwise they don't need Pei Wen'an to call, and they will be scrapped themselves.

Pei Wen'an expected this to be the case, so he would return to Hedong County with peace of mind and wait for Yang Ming to attack.

.......

Last night's contact battle was fought at night, at night, and there were not many people who really died at the hands of the enemy.

It's more because it's dark, I can't see what happened under my feet, and some deserters.

Deserters are not stupid, in fact, deserters are little clever ghosts.

When they really charged, they sensed that the situation was unfavorable and ran away, leading to a wider rout, and when they were resting, they saw the arrival of reinforcements, and they tried to find a way to touch them back.

Yang Su was extremely strict in governing the army, and he had already ordered all departments to count the manpower, and those who were not present at the time were all counted as killed.

By the time the deserters returned, their names were already on the list of the dead, so what to do?

Yang Su ordered his cronies to send orders to all departments, all deserters, and all the heads of the demons, and this time, more than 3,000 people were directly killed.

There are also those who retreat from the battle and delay the military plane, and all of them will be executed.

After a big battle, Yang Ming and Li Jing's troops had a total attrition of about 20,000, of which 6,000 were wounded soldiers, and the number of dead was about 14,000, and most of the casualties were on Li Jing's side.

….

Among the 14,000 people, 2,000 were reduced by crossing the river alone, and 4,000 deserters were killed by Yang Su.

Of course, Yang Su needed to ask Yang Ming before he dared to do it.

And Yang Ming also believes that military discipline must be strict, and only by eliminating those unstable factors can the army be united.

Either Yang Su is known as the King of Yang Yan in the army, there are too many people who died in his hands, but this time, these executed sergeants will be counted on Yang Ming's head.

On the battlefield, no matter what your background is, as long as you violate the military law, it is a death, a hussar general of Jing Zhaowei and Hedong Liu, Yang Su didn't blink his eyes, and he was cut directly.

Pei Wen'an's side is even worse.

Pujin Pass is a strong city, and Hedong County is also the capital of a county, so it is not easy to fight.

Li Jing roughly estimated that Pei Wen'an's attrition should be about 30,000 people, and the attrition refers to the wounded soldiers plus the dead, under normal circumstances, the wounded are much higher than the dead.

When Pei Wen'an withdrew his troops, the wounded sergeants, plus those with unhappy legs and feet, had already been taken prisoner, almost 8,000 people, and these captives were also killed by Yang Su.

In addition, the corpses thrown on the battlefield, after a little counting, are all 13,000 upwards, plus the number of casualties when Pei Wen'an fought Hedong, no matter how you calculate it, it will add up to almost 30,000.

Of course, Yang Su doesn't care about these things, he only cares about the situation, as long as the situation is in me, then there will be more and less, in his eyes it is very indifferent.

This also surprised Yang Ming.

He originally thought that when the two armies were fighting, the one with the advantage of the number must be superior, but Yang Su had a completely different point of view.

In Yang Su's view, the first priority on the battlefield is the situation, the second is to grasp the opportunity, and the second is not to be afraid of death.

Historically, before Yang Su fought with people, he asked his soldiers who were willing to stay behind, who was willing to go into battle with me to kill the enemy, and those who stayed behind were out of the ranks.

At that time, those who stood up and were willing to stay in the local area were all killed by Yang Su.......

Another time, Yang Su fought a decisive battle with people, the vanguard army had 5,000 people, and the overseer team behind the ass was also 5,000 people, but as a result, he relied on the 5,000 people of the forward army to kill the enemy's 20,000 horses, and the overseer team didn't do it at all.

Whether Yang Su kills more enemies or kills more of his own people

, I can't say it for a while, anyway, he hasn't lost in his life.

The men and horses led by Guo Yan have already set off.

After Yang Mingde's Chinese army rested for a day, spies came to report that the Yuxiang direction found that the army was stationed, and it was estimated that there were about 40,000 or 50,000 people under the banner.

It seems that Yang Su guessed correctly again, this army must be Qiao Zhongkui's department.

Every time he discussed major military affairs, Yang Su was very cautious and did not show the slightest contempt for Pei Wenan and Qiao Zhongkui, although these two people were really a little unknown.

"As long as Changsun Cheng enters Jinzhou and makes a mess, after Yang Liang in the direction of Jinyang gets the news, I'm afraid he will summon Pei Wenan and Qiao Zhongkui back to the division to rescue,"

Yang Su sat aside and said slowly: "The soldiers of Bingzhou, the maximum number that can be recruited in a short period of time is 150,000, Pei Wen'an and they have already taken half of it, and those who remain in Jinyang are only 30,000 at most."

Yang Ming knew that this data was not made up blindly, the distribution of the military government in the entire Bingzhou region, and the number of soldiers, there were real numbers to check, and Yang Ming's army was followed by people from the military department, and he had already explained these basic overviews to Yang Ming.

Yang Su said: "Yang Liang must have two sets of plans, if he can successfully take Pujin Pass to cross the river and enter Guanzhong, of course it is the best policy, this road will not work, he will cut off the old Qi land and form a confrontation situation with the imperial court, in that case, the world will be divided again."

Shi Wansui also nodded on the side and said, "Otherwise, he would not have divided his troops to attack Henan and Shandong, he had thought about it from the beginning, he couldn't enter Guanzhong to be the emperor, and he also proclaimed himself an emperor and fought against Guanzhong."

Yang Ming said: "As long as he is reluctant to leave Jinyang, he is doomed to failure."

When Yang Su heard this, he nodded in appreciation and said, "Taiping Gong has a good disciple."

Shi Wansui smiled: "Doesn't Yue Gong also have a good son-in-law?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

There was originally a contradiction between them, but now, because of Yang Ming's relationship, the two are now somewhat heroic and heroic.
