Chapter 328: Attacking Yue Pengju
Changpingjun was really a little panicked.
He originally wanted to wait for the autumn harvest to prepare for the recovery of Ba County in one go, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, he missed the best fighter.
The news of Qin's defeat in the Battle of Yingdu and Qin's preparations to focus on the Eastern Front from Xianyang made Changping Jun understand that his battle plan for Bajun was about to be changed again.
And it's also a major overhaul of the overall strategy.
Changping Jun's strategic acumen is still there, and the impact of Qin's focus on the eastern front on Bashu is not too great, but the impact of the defeat in the Battle of Yingdu on the Bashu battle situation is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the blue.
Although the Qin State did not suffer much losses in the Battle of Yingdu, the Qin State gave up Yingdu and retreated, which not only meant that the Yangtze River of the Great Yu Army was no longer threatened, but also meant that the main force assembled by the Yu State in Yingdu was liberated.
In the case that Yu State does not have particularly high operational needs on other fronts, where will Da Yu's empty troops be placed?
Even if Dayu is not good at fighting, as long as one-third of the troops of the Battle of Yingdu are pulled to Bashu, the Battle of Bashu will have to change the offensive and defensive situation.
The praise of Yue Fei, the three brothers Yizi and others, the god-like way of coming, and the identity bonus of the "Southern Barbarian King" made Dong Huang instantly gain countless fanatical fans.
Suddenly, whether it was the river or the Qin army camp and water village on the west bank of the river, they were all on fire.
In terms of his strategic ability, Gan Ning is naturally inferior to Yue Fei, but he is not stupid, he has a very good foundation, he has fought for decades, and often deals with Gao Shun, Xi Zhicai and others, so his vision is naturally practiced.
Changping Jun believed it.
Gan Ning actually wants to compete for merit, but he is also very self-aware.
In terms of topography, Wuyang County is dominated by hills and low mountains. This terrain is not suitable for large army battles, but it is suitable for ambushes.
Yue Fei nodded.
Historically, Yue Fei was still recognized as a martial saint, while Guan Yu's martial saint was just a product of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in order to suppress the Han people's rebellion, and the gold content was not comparable.
It's just that what Changping Jun didn't expect was that the layout of all his ships was seen by sharks and shark sharks' pets.
"Hurry up, strive to reach Wuyang City tonight, and treat your brothers well when the time comes!"
There are many such reserves, and 50,000 barbarians in Jingnan have become the reserves of the Tiger Ben Army.
At this time, the Qin army was unaware of the impending danger.
Changping Jun has 20,000 sharp soldiers and 180,000 elites under his command! The auxiliary army is even more adequate. After such a long period of training, Changping Jun selected another 10,000 elites from the elite, 30,000 elites from the auxiliary army, and 30,000 elites and 200,000 elite legions, isn't it difficult?
The only support was a newly trained Qin Ruishi of 10,000 people.
According to Changping Jun's plan, he planned to ambush a wave when the Yu army marched to this vicinity.
The Yu army has always relied on intrigue and trickery to fight, shameful!
"When I find an opportunity to fight the Yu army head-on, I have to let these Yu troops ...... Ah......h
After all, the level of the Yu army's operations on the plains was well known, and some Qin troops even shouted the slogan "One Qin is ten Yu".
Gan Ning couldn't help but ask.
"Pengju means ......"
As for the camp robbery cavalry, the ability is still very good, but the previous battle with Wang Jian suffered heavy losses, and the camp robbery cavalry is good at surprise attacks rather than long-distance running, and after long-distance running, he has to defeat the Qin army who does not know the depths, Gan Ning thinks that the camp robbery is not competent.
This division of troops, regardless of the victory or defeat of both sides, will not be able to be used in the main battlefield for at least three months.
Thinking that this is a march in the hinterland of their country, although they also wear armor just in case, it is a standard marching column, the formation is a long snake formation, and the soldiers are quite slack.
If you look at history alone, the military generals under Dong Huang's command either did not command as many troops as him, or their achievements were not as wonderful as his, especially in terms of the number of commanders and trained troops, his Yuejia army may have more soldiers than the sum of the troops led by General Wuziliang. In terms of combat performance, except for Zhang Liao's battle of White Wolf Mountain, Wuziliang's records are not worthy of comparison with Yue Fei.
If it weren't for Wang Jian being strong enough, the current Qin army would probably be blocked in Shu and couldn't move.
Gan Ning was not afraid of the elite army of the Qin army, but if he really had to face the sharp army formation of the Qin army, Gan Ning couldn't help but break out in his heart.
Yue Fei said simply.
"Who can do this?"
In particular, the Hanzhong Raid and the Battle of Jiameng Pass, two small in scale and low in lethality but far-reaching in impact, directly affected the overall strategic layout of the Battle of Bashu of Changping Jun, and made Changping Jun fall into the disadvantage of the Battle of Bashu from the very beginning.
The Qin, Shu, barbarian, and Qiang people in the Tsing Yi River basin lived together, with complex composition, and because of the previous summer harvest, they suffered heavy losses and were squeezed by the Qin army, so these areas were extremely unstable, and if Da Yu controlled the Tsing Yi Water and then fanned the flames, these places were likely to rebel.
Although the Dayu army has the advantage of reconnaissance and can monitor the enemy army to the greatest extent to avoid being discovered by the enemy, there are only one or two ways to attack, and it is impossible to completely avoid people, even cities and tribes, and the risk of exposure is not low.
Changpingjun realized that Bashu needed new reinforcements.
The Battle of Annihilating Chu, the Battle of Yingdu, the Battle of Jinba, and even the Battle of Hanzhong and the Battle of Jiameng Pass all reflected the extraordinary strategic vision and layout ability of the Yu army.
In addition, the Empress Dowager Huayang, who was originally the core of the Chu system, could only miss Dong Huang while sticking to the two-headed dragon with Zhao Ji recently, and did not give enough support to the Chu family, resulting in Chang Wenjun, who wanted to support Changping Jun, being lonely and difficult to speak, so Changping Jun almost did not get any new support.
After the rain of arrows, the drums and horns contended, the Sun God Bird Flag and the Yue Zi Banner suddenly rose all over the mountains, countless Yu troops killed from the ambush site, Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, Yue Yun, Niu Gao and other fierce generals led the guards to take the lead, and directly cut the Qin army into four sections to divide and surround.
It is worth mentioning that before Dong Huang's four major commanders of the Tiger Army, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, and Zhou Tai, because Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai often went out to lead troops, and now Dian Wei also went out to play Ji Wuye, so Dong Huang promoted Vulture Bone and Lu Lingqi as the commander of the Tiger Army, and all the 20,000 elephant soldiers under the Vulture Bone were included in the Tiger Army, and Lu Lingqi trained some female cavalry, and also recruited Sun Shangxiang, who does not like red clothes and loves arms, Princess Tianxiang, who has a military foundation, and others to join.
Although the Beiwei military formation, which has a history of less than three years, is definitely not as perfect as the Qin army's sharp-warrior military formation that has been honed and improved for hundreds of years, as long as it is a Qin Ruishi with less than 5,000 yuan, Yue Fei will dare to fight head-on as long as he has twice the back-to-back army, and he is confident that he will win the battle.
Wuyang is the county of Qinzhi, and it is also the place where the last battle of Qin's destruction of Shu took place, "King Hui sent Zhang Yi and Sima to cut down Shu, and the king of Shu was enlightened and refused to fight, retreated to Wuyang, and won it."
In fact, Daqin was also aware of this problem, and when he decided to abandon Yingdu, Daqin had already begun partial combat mobilization.
Yue Fei wanted to go in person, and Gan Ning naturally had no opinion.
Changping Jun reorganized this Qin Ruishi with the original 20,000 veteran Qin Ruishi and the 10,000 Qin Ruishi newly selected by him, stepped up training, and finally had an army of 40,000 Qin Ruishi who could fill the façade.
In order to prevent the attack of the Yu army, Changping Jun actually arranged 10,000 Qin Ruishi in the military camps on both sides of the strait, but these Ruishi mainly hit the large camp on the southernmost side. When these Ruishi completed the assembly, the rear and the river were already in flames, without knowing the specific situation in the rear, these Qin Ruishi finally chose to stick to the camp under the leadership of the generals, and everything would be said at dawn.
"Attract the attention of the Qin army with a naval army, secretly send an elite army to make a detour, occupy the upper reaches of the Qin army, seize the ready-made ships of the Qin army, and directly burn a wave of the Qin army. However, in order to prevent accidents, we also have to prepare iron cables to cross the river to prevent the fireships of the Qin army from burning over. ”
Changping Jun also deliberately added a fire, when he first arrived in Chengdu, he began to show favor to these barbarian tribes, and constantly preached the evil of Dayu, originally Changping Jun wanted to pull up a good at mountain warfare, rush warfare soldiers and horses, in order to deal with the elite of Yu army's mountain warfare.
It's a challenge.
Yue Fei said to the soldiers around him.
Because the Qin ships suffered heavy losses, and the remaining ships had to be pressed to guard against the surprise attack of the Yu army's naval division, they simply did not have the ability to escort this army across the river, so this army could only retreat on the east bank of the river, and the target of their retreat was ......
Nan'an City is a small city, although Changping Jun has been fortified, but the small city is a small city after all, and once it loses control of the river (Min River) and Tsing Yi Shui, then Nancheng will become a dead city.
However, Yue Fei also took a fancy to this place.
Yue Fei, Gan Ning and the others combined the information from the scouts, using birds and beasts, and even personally scouting, and roughly touched the layout of the Qin army.
Yue Fei's task has actually been overdone.
"After the sneak attack last night, the Qin army either thought that our army was retreating, or thought that we were waiting for the main force of the army, and never imagined that we would rush to Wuyang to ambush first!"
Gan Ning's trump card is the Jinfan Army and the Raiding Camp Cavalry.
The Qin army, marching in a long snake formation, was defenseless and unable to form an effective response.
In fact, Changping Jun has already regretted that the army did not follow Wang Jian into Ba at that time, if the army entered Brazil at that time, the army would have surrounded the Yu army in Bacheng, even if the Yu reinforcements came, the two sides were also fighting a decisive battle near Bacheng, and not like now, it was necessary to defend along the long river.
"Good!"
Naturally, Qin's military resources are far from being exhausted, but the consumption of the Qin army's logistics after two years of war is too great, and the Qin army's finances, grain and grass are a little unbearable.
Yue Fei aimed at another location on the map—Wuyang.
"Good!"
The barbarians along the route cheerfully greeted their gods.
With 40,000 Qin Ruishi and 200,000 elite legions, in the eyes of some people, Changping Jun can already complete at least 600,000 Dayu troops, but Changping Jun's mind has always been very clear.
The Yu army really divided its troops in order to pursue Bai Qian and Qiang's subordinates as Changping Jun thought.
The Jinfan Army is a naval army, and it is also one of the façade arms of the Dayu Naval Army, but if you go ashore......
Previously, Yue Fei's headquarters had been attacking for three days and had another big battle, and now if he rushed to Wuyang to set up an ambush, he would inevitably have to attack again in the mountains and forests, and the speed of the attack would be faster than that of the Qin army marching on the flat ground on the riverbank.
Yue Fei pointed to the map and laughed.
Changping Jun is also decisive, since the enemy is more skilled, then I simply don't want Tsing Yi Shui, and I will retreat.
If you can't do it yourself, then you can only look at Yue Fei's department, Gan Ning's eyes can't help but wander on Yang Zaixing, Gao Zhong and other generals, he likes these generals very much, but whether this level of long-distance running can be competent, it depends on two words.
Therefore, Yue Fei personally led 30,000 Beiwei troops ashore, far away from the river bank, detoured through the mountains and forest paths for a long time, and three days later, successfully detoured to the rear of the Qin army on the west bank of the river at the confluence of the river and Tsing Yi Shui.
This is obviously not the ideal decisive battle location of Changping Jun, because it is difficult to say who is more beneficial to the terrain and hydrology here, but Changping Jun also has to fight, at least he must gnaw Dong Huangjun's water army here, otherwise, once this place is lost, it means that the Tsing Yi Water Basin is in danger.
Of course, in this time and space, the generals under Dong Huang's command have all been replenished by star power, and they have already broken through the trap of a certain space historical figure, and their abilities and potentials have been greatly improved, and many of them also have the experience of commanding hundreds of thousands of large armies to fight, so they can't be seen from the perspective of looking at historical figures, but after all, Yue Fei's foundation and foundation are there, and he who has also been replenished, his ability will only be more outstanding than in history.
Immediately ordered the whole army to set off, except for some of the wounded and the troops who stayed behind to guide the Yu army, the main force of the army set out, with only one layer of armor, in a group of three, two people carried one on a stretcher, and one person was rotated every two hours, day and night, taking advantage of the reconnaissance advantage to march quickly, and finally arrived at the ambush point with 25,000 people, two hours ahead of the Qin army.
What happened in Yandao, Changpingjun was completely unaware, let alone unexpected.
This is the biggest trump card in the hands of Changping Jun.
They had long been well prepared for retreat.
"The Art of War: Surprise and Attack Unprepared. Since the Qin army is mainly guarding against our army's naval army, why doesn't our army do the opposite? ”
Yue Fei was the land pioneer appointed by Dong Huang, and Gan Ning became the water pioneer in Shu because of his meritorious service in Ba.
In the Battle of Yingdu, Yue Fei faced the terrible formation of the Qin army's sharp soldiers, and actively improved his own military formation by learning from each other's strengths.
The Qin army, which had faced a rain of arrows, finally reacted, but it was too late.
After Wuyang and further north, there is the Chengdu Plain.
There is one thing to say, it is better for Jiangdong military generals not to go ashore.
With such military strength, there should be no problem in holding Bashu, right? At least we can hold the Chengdu Plain!
This is also an important reason why the Bai Di and Qiang Diao departments retreated after Jiangyang's symbolic resistance.
Yue Fei aimed at the troops who held the camp last night, that is, the sharp soldiers of the Qin State.
And a figure like Yue Fei is the best among Dong Huangjun's generals.
Yang Zaixing patted his chest and packed the ticket.
In addition, Chen Zhi and Fu Wei, who were originally deputy generals of the Tiger Army, also became regulars. Wang Shuang and Niu Jin were also reused.
The next day, Changpingjun directly abandoned the Nan'an defense line and organized the evacuation of the army.
In the eyes of the Qin State Center, this requirement is not high.
Wang Jian also has 10,000 sharp soldiers and 50,000 elites there, at least he can contain 100,000 soldiers and horses in Dayu, right?
At the same time, there are also a large number of naturalized barbarians who can also contribute. How can the role of these barbarians be worth 100,000 elites?
Because the sharp soldiers led by him held the camp tightly in the battle that night, did not give the Yu army a chance, and finally collected the defeated army, which can be regarded as a meritorious service, and was praised by Changping Jun, which made him high-spirited, and felt that as long as he won this battle, he would definitely be able to soar.
As a result, the plan could not keep up with the rapid changes, and Changping Jun had to switch from strategic offensive to strategic defense, and the usefulness of these barbarians became to harass the Yu army.
In this process, the Qin Junlou boat will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it is even very likely to be accidentally injured by fire, but if you can replace the powerful naval army of Dayu with a weak brigade of the Shudi Navy, everything will be worth it!
Gan Ning looked at the direction Yue Fei was pointing and thoughtful.
Although many old Qin people showed the courage to fight to the death, in the face of the Yu army that formed a military formation, closely cooperated, and had high morale, even if most of these Qin troops were sharp soldiers, they could not deal with it effectively, and even if they had the courage of a horseman, they were quickly drowned in the impact of the Yu army.
The reason why Yue Fei emphasized this point was actually to mobilize before the station.
Changping Jun has reviewed the various battles since the debut of the Yu Army more than once, and he found that the strategic layout ability of the Yu Army is really strong, and this strength is not only reflected in the overall operation, but even the ordinary generals of the Yu Army also have extraordinary strategic vision.
Changping Jun knew very well that with the strength of the Yu army and the navy, it was meaningless to camp step by step in the cities along the river; A rash decisive battle on the water will probably only follow in the footsteps of Mengwu, so Changping Jun's idea is to lure the enemy deeper, harass along the way, constantly exhaust the enemy, and finally fight a decisive battle on the battlefield that is most conducive to the Qin army.
Even if this slogan is a bit exaggerated, but fighting head-on on the plains, there is no problem with "one Qin as three Yu", right?
However, the fact is that the follow-up men he left along the line, the lurking army, and the chieftains he co-opted were either killed or mutinied.
"Enemy attack!"
The Qin general Meng Ze puffed up the army.
After Jiangyang, the most important strategic place is the Yan Road, although the Qin State has developed here in the era of Li Bing and his sons, and also dug a five-foot road, but to say that the control of these ethnic groups, it can only be said that it is better than nothing, at most it is a bond, supplemented by war between each other, and friendly exchanges are the mainstay.
The Beiwei army has been in a state of recuperation since the battle with the Duke of Qi, and this battle is just a small test, and they finally have more opportunities to perform, and they are also happy when they hear the battle.
In this battle, he not only annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, but most importantly, he burned most of the ships of the Qin army, and the Bashu naval division of the Qin army was broken at once.
Meng Ze was still talking to himself, but unexpectedly, ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and Meng Ze, who was personally taken care of by Yue Fei, was directly shot into a hedgehog.
Some of the high-ranking members of the Qin army were even afraid that the Qin army would have too many reinforcements, so that the Yu army would not dare to come!
It was precisely based on this consideration that the Qin State did not forcibly recruit troops again.
"I'll go myself!"
Changping Jun believed that after so many years, Great Qin's relationship with these barbarians had only reached this point, and Da Yu, as an aggressor, would inevitably attract the hostility of these barbarians.
However, the fiasco of Duke Qi in Juan made Qin State have to send all the mobile soldiers that could have been used to Bashu led by Li Chong, Li Yao and his son, to support Mengfu, and on the side of Bashu, Great Qin only asked Changping Jun to be able to defend.
The other soldiers were also high-spirited.
Changping-kun's idea was to fight a water fight here.
He felt that the barbarians should have a good fight with Da Yu.
Of course, the fire attack cannot be a fire attack without technical content like Mengwu, Changping Jun's specific arrangement is that after the Yu army and the navy are assembled, the Qin army will concentrate the building ship to make a decisive battle posture, and use the building ship to reduce the vigilance of the Yu army, arrange the fire boat behind the building ship, and then set fire to the ship when the two sides are fighting and the Yu army fleet cannot go.
Although the Qin army had large camps on both sides of the river here, the main purpose was to prevent the Yu army from passing head-on and to assist in setting fire to the boats when the two armies were engaged. Their focus was also on the south side, and there was little defense against the rear of the back.
The specific arrangement is to arrange iron cables on the river, hide and arrange several batches of fireboats that can block the river surface in the rear and on the river bank, and wait for the arrival of the Yu army and the navy to attack.
Dong Huang's army's sailors were far away from the Qin army's fire attack because they had been defending against the Qin army's fire attack yesterday, and they didn't have time to chase after it, but Yue Fei didn't want to let Changping Jun's troops retreat so simply.
Changping Jun's tactics were to cross the river with iron cables and fire ships across the river.
Changping Jun felt that the Yu army would definitely fall into the sea of the barbarians' people's war in the vast area from Jiangyang to Yandao.
It wasn't until the forwards of Yue Fei's department were about to arrive in Nan'an that Changping Jun had to throw away his illusions and prepare for a big battle.
The barbarians all agreed to Changping Jun's request, and they all said that they must let the Yu people taste their benefits.
As for why they all lost a game, and they were about to be forced to the Chengdu Plain, why Meng Ze was still so confident, it was because he had never seen the Yu army dare to fight head-on, and to this day, he still thinks that as long as it is a frontal battle, ten times the Yu army is not the opponent of the Qin army!
Besides, no one knows whether the Qin army stationed at the position Yue Fei said is strong or not.
Yue Fei was in charge.
If he was given a few more years, he would be confident that he would lead the Beiwei army to fight the same number of Qin Ruishi head-on without defeat - even in the face of Wang Qian, he would dare to say that!
To put it bluntly, the military formation of the generals of Dayu and even the entire military formation of Dayu is in a period of rapid growth, and the military formation of the Qin State actually has little room for improvement.
Yue Fei's subordinates, who had successfully attacked by sneak attack, saw that Qin Ruishi's camp was strong and the soldiers were in danger, so they did not continue to attack, but quickly withdrew their troops.
When the mountain-like vulture bones led the huge Jihad Elephant Legion to open the way, and the majestic, sacred, and invisible, Dong Huang descended from the sky on the Sun God Bird and landed on the elephant, the barbarians' cheers reached their peak.
Yue Fei led the Beiwei army to launch a night attack on the Qin army at night, and the unguarded rear camp was quickly breached, and then Yue Fei ordered Yang Zaixing and Gao Chong to continue the attack, and personally led Niu Gao and Yue Yun to seize the water village, collect the Qin army's fire boats, and set fire to it downstream.
The sharks quickly passed this information on to Yue Fei and Gan Ning.
Something is better than nothing, even if the newly trained Qin Ruishi is far inferior to the elite Qin Ruishi in a hundred battles, but that has to be compared with whom.
"Rest assured, general, there is no problem with the brothers."
A simple alliance, the hundreds of barbarian tribes participating in the alliance have all offered their loyalty to their majesty, and they can casually dedicate 100,000 troops to their emperor majesty!
Today's Dong Huang has plenty of food and grass, so these 100,000 people are all accepted as ordered, and the most elite and fanatical 10,000 of them are directly included in the reserve of the Tiger Ben Army.
Changpingjun also showed his ruthless and decisive side here.
In the battle, the Qin army, which consisted of 10,000 sharp soldiers and seven or eight thousand elite legions, was completely annihilated by 25,000 people under Yue Fei's department, and the general Meng Ze was killed in battle, and more than 10,000 people chose to surrender.
After the victory, Yue Fei did not stop there, but left more than 10,000 people to guard and surrender the soldiers, and personally led more than 10,000 people to put on the clothes of the Qin army, and went to the city with the tiger talisman and the text of the Qin army.
Wuyang City had already received the order to prepare meals for the army, and it was arranged outside the city to prepare for the labor army, and after Yue Fei arrived, he was not polite, and directly captured the civil and military forces of the county town who came to greet him, and easily occupied Wuyang City.
