Chapter 214: The Might of the Martial Prince
The dignified Tang Guogong, who had high hopes, only delayed the rebellion for a day and a night, less than a day, and he couldn't support Wu Xinfang's arrival at all, just two or three thousand miles away!
Of course, in such a large-scale war, even if more than 30,000 elite soldiers of the Wuxin side participated, it was difficult to affect the overall situation, and could only play the role of a surprise soldier or a sharp soldier.
Fengqiu, located at the junction of Dongjun and Xingyang County.
With the super mobility of Wu Xinfang's eighty percent cavalry, it only takes two or three days to seal the mound to Zhongmu.
Originally, Wu Xinfang wanted to rush to join Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, but now that Li Yuan's army was defeated and fled, Wu Xinfang was suddenly embarrassed and confused, and was trapped!
Wu Xinfang went all the way south and west, relying on strong mobility and easy-to-control elite soldiers to shuttle through the gap between the anti-army. Now that Li Yuan's army has been defeated and retreated, Wu Xinfang has lost his response, and there is a dilemma, like a lone army trapped in a tiger's den.
Wu Xinfang's people, including Dou Shi, Li Zhan, Li Xiuning and other Li Tang people, gathered to study military maps and marching routes.
On the fine military map, there are many township towns (middle cities), county towns (big cities), and county towns (giant cities), each with its own markings.
Nowadays, Dong County, Xingyang County, Hanoi County and other counties, the city has basically been captured by the Xuan Gan anti-army, and Wu Xinfang will run into walls everywhere no matter how he goes, and he may be attacked at any time.
That is to say, Wu Xin's side is too fierce, and the Xuangan rebel army is busy advancing westward, unable to divide the troops, and the rebel army in each city does not dare to come to snipe alone, otherwise it will be besieged from all sides! However, when Wu Xin wants to rest on the supply of each city, he will definitely not be able to do it, so he can only attack the city.
"Take a detour! Avoid the county and the county seat, and go as west as you can. With our strength, these rebels dare not and cannot intercept them!"
After staring at the map carefully for a moment, Wu Xin drew a winding route and said.
In this way, Wu Xinfang naturally had to take many detours and spend several days to reach Henan County and the Eastern Capital.
"Tell my lord!" Li Zixiong, General Li's envoy asks to see!" At this moment. A military guard came to report.
"Biography!"
Wu Xin and the others looked at each other in surprise and confusion, but they still decided to meet the envoy.
A moment later, the messenger arrived, and after a salute, the messenger went straight to the point and said:
"The meaning of my lord, I will lead the way, lend the way to you, and go to Henan County, I don't know what the generals think?"
"Uh......"
Wu Xin, Li Zhan, Li Shimin and others were stunned for a while, and opened their mouths speechless.
Can the war still be fought like this?
Those who don't know think they're allies!
Although Wu Xin just let go of Li Zixiong's son Li Min. But he took the most important logistics base of the rebel army, the big granary. Coupled with Wei Jue's grudge, the two sides should have a grudge as deep as the sea.
However, Li Zixiong's meaning is easy to understand.
There are more than 30,000 people in Wu Xinfang, and the number is not much, but it is not much. Nearly 30,000 are cavalrymen, with strong mobility and stronger combat effectiveness. It's hard to contain.
What's more, in this way, the army that is not ten times larger than Wu Xinfang's is facing more losses and fewer victories. I want to be contained. At least fifty or sixty times the army must be mobilized, and the anti-army cannot draw so many troops, let alone affect the Eastern Capital's plan because of Wu Xinfang.
Nowadays, the anti-army encirclement is not. It is even more difficult to ignore it, and it is necessary to waste a lot of troops to deploy everywhere and watch out for each other. It's like a bone stuck in the throat of the anti-army. It's better to be single, and send Wu Xinfang away, which will also save both parties a headache.
"What do the people mean?"
Wu Xin was a little moved, but he felt a little ridiculous, and couldn't help but look at Li Shimin and ask for advice.
The battle of the Eastern Capital is one of the general trends, if there is no accident, Xuangan will be defeated, which is a great credit for Bai Pickup. Wu Xin naturally wanted to catch up in time, get together a copy, and also take the opportunity to get to know the heroes of all parties.
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head in response: "It is not advisable! The subordinates understand the plan and meaning of the lord, but they cannot use this method! Although our merits are seen by the whole world. However, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am only afraid of what happens, and I am even more afraid of gossip. ”
After a pause, he cautiously reminded: "The lord is the true legend of the Demon Gate, and it is easy to be criticized. If it is borrowed this time, who knows what the people of the world and the saints think? It is better to support oneself and have a side effect. As long as it works well and is better than the positive one, at least there will be no unpredictable danger of being impeached!"
"Got it!"
Wu Xin sighed in response, looked at the envoy and said, "Please go back! General Ben wants to go over, he will fight by himself, no need to borrow the way!"
The envoy did not dare to say more, let alone use his eloquent tongue, and left quickly.
This is the effect of killing Yang Su, the king of Yue.
Today's mad marquis martial demon should be said to be the martial demon of the martial kingdom. Although the power is still not large, it has already shocked the world, and only led more than 30,000 people, so that the rebels who are all over the banks of the mother river and have millions of troops have to be aggrieved and forbear, and it is ridiculous to take the initiative to give way!
It is conceivable that when this matter spreads, the prestige of Wuguo Gong Wuxin will rise to another level, which makes people talk about it!
If it is replaced by other Great Sui generals, not to mention more than 30,000, it is 50,000 or 100,000, it is estimated that Li Zixiong will immediately lead the army to encircle and suppress, how can he send envoys to negotiate? !
......
The next day, Wu Xinfang continued to advance westward according to the negotiated route.
Go northwest from Fengqiu and enter Xingyang County. Passing through the middle of sour jujube and Yangwu, along Yuanyang, Yuanwu, Xingze and other places, that is, along the north bank of the mother river, interspersed with curves to rush to Surabaya, that is, the tiger prison pass of the gateway to the eastern capital.
The official road in the northeast of Yangwu County.
Iron hooves are like thunder, nearly 30,000 iron horsemen and three or four thousand Li Tang elite soldiers, galloping on the vast and flat official road.
"I would like to inform you that there are rebels targeting us, the number is about 100,000, and it is suspected that they are rebels from Fengqiu!"
While they were on the march, an eagle guard came to report.
"Hmm, 100,000 Fengqiu rebels?" Li Zhan asked.
What is the quality of the anti-army's combat strength, and 100,000 anti-troops dare to come and snipe at Wu Xinfang? Are you impatient?
"Explore!" Wu Xin commanded with a frown.
Li Zixiong, who is in charge of the rear of the anti-army and is in charge of the rear of the anti-army, is also a famous general, and he should be clear about the most important purpose of the anti-army.
Will they really divide their forces to snipe them? Or do they want to sacrifice part of the rebels and hold off Wu Xinfang? Or is it just oversight?
I don't understand!
It didn't take long for Wuxin to receive various information one after another, and there were also signs of army mobilization in the rebels in Yuanyang, Yuanwu, Yangwu, Kaifeng, Daliang and other big cities.
These big cities are only larger in scale, and there are also various mid-town and small cities and other anti-armies, which are more or less also mobilizing, and they are like ten thousand beasts restless, making people confused.
However, the artist is bold.
The Wuxin side relied on strong combat power, fast mobility, and strengthened vigilance, but did not change its strategy and still marched along the route.
Sunset.
At the three-way intersection leading to Yangwu and Yuanyang, Wuxinfang naturally walked in the northwest direction leading to Yuanyang.
It didn't take long for the Fengqiu rebels who had been following them to the southwest of Yangwu.
Li Zixiong mobilized the troops of all sides, not to encircle and suppress us, but to shrink the defensive line, gather troops, guard against our army's attack from behind, and reinforce the battlefield ahead!"
Li Shimin took the map and pondered for a moment, looked at Wu Xin with strange eyes and reminded.
Everyone was puzzled, and Wei Peng couldn't help but ask: "Shrink the defense line and gather the army?"
"Let's look at the map carefully, now the cities of Dongjun and Xingyang County are restless against the army, and there is a tendency to besiege them in groups. If you look closely, you don't actually want to besiege, but to gather to Xingyang County and threaten Henan County and Surabaya!"
Li Shimin pointed to the map and explained by drawing various routes.
Before, Wu Xinfang had just come out of Fengqiu and was on the central line of Xingyang County, so there was an illusion that he was surrounded by all directions. Now that he has entered the north of Xingyang County, according to the anti-army line known by intelligence, he has gradually jumped out of the encirclement!
If the expectation is not bad, Li Zixiong did not want to mobilize the power of a hundred cities to surround Wuxinfang, it was just a normal military movement.
This is the strategy adopted by Li Zixiong after Wu Xin refused to borrow the way.
Gather strength, so as not to be troubled by the Wuxin side, and support the front line, in one fell swoop!
"Is it necessary?" Li Zhan asked as he looked at his nephew Li Shimin suspiciously.
"It is necessary! Since we do not take advantage of the road, the rebels must be cautious and beware of our army attacking the cities. More importantly, the anti-army will no longer be able to operate smoothly in the logistics system! In this case, it is better to directly gather the army and logistics materials......
Li Shimin's tone was confident and affirmative, paused, looked at the west and continued: "As expected, I am afraid that there will be a problem on the front line of the anti-army! The most likely problem is logistics! Without the continuous support of Liyangcang's logistics, the anti-army will begin to be unable to hold on to attrition, and it is even more necessary to speed up the action, occupy a favorable position as soon as possible, and take the eastern capital as soon as possible!"
Everyone was silent, figuring out what Li Shimin meant, a little chaotic!
"To put it simply, we are rats in the house of the anti-army...... It should be a rat demon. The rebels can't be caught, they can't be killed, and they are afraid that the food at home will be eaten up and snatched away by us, so we will gather first!"
Wen Renzhong's eyes lit up, and he explained with a crude analogy, and continued: "Now the rebels' homes are too big, there are not enough people, and there is not enough food. So I can only give up some territory, concentrate on manpower and food, and do big things! No matter how strong the rat demon is, it is just a rat demon, and it cannot be ignored, but there is no need to pay too much attention to it. ”
After a pause, his eyes were hot, and he said proudly: "Ambush the 300,000 logistics army led by Yang Suqin, the king of Yue, annihilate the whole army, and kill the king of Yue; within three days, capture Liyangcang, which is guarded by more than 100,000 anti-army, seize the logistics base of the largest anti-army at present, and obtain the title of Duke of Wuguo." That's our prestige!"
If everyone understands, with the spread of the new "Wu Guogong", the reason for Wu Xin's envelope has also spread, and it is indeed as Wen Renzhong said.
Many things, people in the world only know the result, but do not know the process. Under word of mouth, it is easy to exaggerate and distort, and if you don't understand it, you will make up for it by yourself!
In the world, the people who know the choice of Sui Xian, Lotus Yingwei and Li Min are only a few after all, and most people only know the heroic deeds of Wu Xin's "Young Prince"!
"Then ignore the rebels and speed up the march! I'm afraid that the Bishui Pass won't be able to hold for long, and we must arrive as soon as possible, otherwise we will be blocked out of the pass!"
Wu Xin frowned and looked to the west, as if he saw the Xiongguan standing in the sky, and commanded with concern.
Previously, because of the besieged by the anti-army, Wu Xinfang was always vigilant and vigilant, and the marching speed was much slower.
The first update arrives, please ask for a monthly pass!
I don't know if this chapter counts as water, but it describes the situation at different levels, a kind of transition, and the three chapters are condensed into one chapter! )
