Chapter 981: Pursue while you are victorious
If you want merit...... Then there is only a war, and you must show your military talent. Now is the time, the Great Zhou withdraws its troops and can pursue. As long as you kill a large number of enemy soldiers and capture some of them to go back to ask for merit, there may be a chance to do so, of course, this chance is very slim, but you can also hit Liu Renzhen, which shows that his method is not very effective.
"Captain Liu, as my subordinates have seen, what Captain Liu said has always been right, our army should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue, but now the enemy is retreating, and in the face of Shouzhou's long-term attack, the soldiers will inevitably be low, and they will not be able to maintain their formation when retreating, isn't this a good time to attack? Liu Renzhen's unplanted thing, how can he know what to fight? He will only borrow the solidity of the Shouzhou city wall, thinking that it is his own credit, but in fact he has not done anything. ”
Liu Yanzhen nodded immediately, or Xian Shilang understood herself. That's what I originally meant, and I kept talking about pursuit, but Liu Renzhen's chronic son was too annoying, and I forgot about it.
Huangfu Jixun is also, as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, he does not dare to disobey the will of a small guard. He, the generalissimo, is also temperless.
Xian Shilang said: "Taiwei Liu, let's attack first, and after taking the credit, take the captives back to Jinling, and directly join them, just say that these two people are derelict in their duties, and directly make them speechless." As long as the prisoners and the war record are there, what else do they have to say? When the time comes, you can make up whatever you want, and these two people will die. ”
This is true, but this kind of thing is still whispered. The officer just saw that these two people did not want to make progress and delayed the fighter, so they were forced to fight. Originally, I wanted to borrow troops from these two people to pursue, but these two people were as timid as rats and did not dare to fight head-on with the Zhou army, so our army also suffered heavy losses. ”
"That is to say, Liu Renzhen and Huangfu Jixun should have been heavily punished. ”
Liu Yanzhen waved his hand and said, "Liu Renzhen, we can say it to death, but Huangfu Jixun can't." This person is a strong martial artist and has an extremely high status, and it is more valuable to please him than to offend him. ”
Xian Shilang said: "Captain, to be honest, we have delayed a lot of time, if we want to pursue, we must add it, otherwise the Zhou army has already retreated to the pontoon bridge, and it will be useless for us to chase after it then." ”
"Yes, yes, go and give orders, rectify military discipline, and immediately set off to pursue the Zhou army, as many as you can kill. ”
"Yes. ”
Xian Shilang immediately gave the order to go down and immediately set off to pursue the Zhou army. Pursuit, unlike retreat, can be set off with a little reorganization, because they don't need to carry anything with them on the march, they just need to take their weapons and go into battle. Grain and grass support will naturally follow.
Zhou Jun slowly retreated in front, and Liu Yanzhen chased hard in the back, but the difference was still very big. When the Zhou army withdrew, the reinforcements withdrew first, and then the ordinary soldiers. And Liu Yanzhen was chased by the soldiers first, and the reinforcements followed. Although the distance is not too far, the speed of the two sides is not much different, and it is not easy to catch up.
Liu Renzhen was still watching from the battlement, and saw Liu Yanzhen's troops chasing in the direction of the Zhou army's retreat after leaving the city, and suddenly Liu Renzhen felt that something was wrong.
"Oh~~~~~ how can they chase it? It's terrible, if they are ambushed, they will be wiped out. As the saying goes, if the poor don't chase, doesn't Liu Yanzhen know? What's more, if it is a defeated and fleeing army, it will chase it, and if it does not chase, it will not chase, but the Zhou army is not defeated and fled, but it will not be able to attack for a long time, and it is afraid that it will be blocked by others, so it is just a step to retreat first, and in this case, it must be left behind, so why should Liu Yanzhen chase it?"
Liu Renzhen was as angry as a spring breeze, and his face was delicate and ruddy and shiny. Although this matter was quite anxious, there was no fluctuation in his heart, because Liu Renzhen thought about it carefully, even if he tried to persuade him to chase it, it was useless. The most important thing now is to hold on to the city so as not to counterattack the Zhou army.
However, Liu Yanzhen may kill a few Zhou soldiers if he goes, but it is useless. Or maybe he will suffer heavy losses in an ambush, and someone will naturally punish him at that time.
If it was persuaded by Huangfu Jixun, maybe Liu Yanzhen would listen, but persuasion would not be of much use. I don't know what this person is thinking in his head, how can he chase after him in this situation? It is not easy to safely defend Shouzhou, does he still want to fight back to Xuzhou?
Of course, Liu Yanzhen may have some merits when she goes, but it is not necessarily. If he can cleverly destroy the pontoon bridge, even if they are all wiped out, it will be a great contribution. It's just that Liu Yanzhen may not be so smart, although she doesn't hate this person, she can't say that she likes it.
Liu Yanzhen's death is a trivial matter, and it is really not worth it to take so many Southern Tang soldiers to die. Do you want to find someone to persuade you? In fact, there is no need for this, Huangfu Jixun should have already gone, if he can't persuade him, it is useless to go by himself.
However, there is a way to recover the losses, send troops directly to fight, not fight Zhou Jun to beat Liu Yanzhen, and force him to return to Shouzhou to complete the handover. But there is also trouble in doing so, if the Zhou army sees the two sides fighting, when the time comes, they will kill one of them, not to mention that their own lives are not guaranteed, but they are afraid that Shouzhou will not be protected, and the Southern Tang Dynasty will not be protected.
"Forget it~ He will go by him, I will still enjoy the scenery here. The scenery of Shouzhou is never tired of seeing, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of miles of rivers and rivers, ......" Liu Yanzhen said: "Someone is coming." ”
"The subordinates are here. ”
"Inform General Huangfu that there is no need to chase after him, and hurry up to Luzhou to borrow troops and grain and grass. Liu Yanzhen is looking for his own death, we are helpless, and it is impossible for General Huangfu to kill him directly, so there is no way to return to the dynasty and restore his life. So let's go to Luzhou to borrow a little ...... first."
"My lord, let's stop talking, I'll go directly, don't waste time. ”
Liu Renzhen nodded, and the people around him immediately went to inform Huangfu Jixun.
Liu Yanzhen pursued all the way, and there was not a single wounded or sick soldier left behind along the way, which can only prove that when the Zhou army retreated, the wounded and life-saving soldiers were evacuated first. Although there is no head to take for the time being, this makes Liu Yanzhen very excited, because the Zhou army has really withdrawn, and it has planned a lot of evacuation.
If you feel that the situation is not right and suddenly withdraw your troops, then the slower soldiers will definitely be left on the road to be overtaken. But this situation is very dangerous, because the morale of the soldiers is not completely broken, and they may resist at any time if they are pursued.
But if it is a planned evacuation, then the mentality of all the soldiers has been relaxed, and they know that they will not be able to fight this time, so they will retreat. Such retreating soldiers were barely mentally prepared to fight again, so they caught them off guard and killed them.
Liu Yanzhen's idea is indeed right, such an evacuation is really withdrawn, and it is impossible to think that the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty dare to go out of Shouzhou to pursue. Because Shouzhou was very critical, it was impossible for the defenders to give up the strong city walls of Shouzhou and fight the Zhou army head-on, so the soldiers of the Great Zhou definitely did not expect Liu Yanzhen to have such a hand.
Of course, it is impossible for the team to remain in a very neat state and evacuate at the same time when the army is withdrawn, it must be a long dragon, no matter whether there is a rear hand when evacuating, when encountering this kind of long dragon team, it will be able to kill him in the past without leaving a piece of armor.
Liu Yanzhen became more and more happy the more he chased, and after chasing for a long time, he finally caught up with the Great Zhou troops, who were crossing the river on a pontoon bridge at this time...... This is a great opportunity to catch them off guard.
"Kill~~~"
Liu Yanzhen bore the brunt of the rush into the disorganized Zhou army, and the two sides fought together. The Zhou army also got the news in advance that someone was pursuing, so when crossing the river, the outermost soldiers kept a defensive posture. But such a defense was useless against a cavalry unit that charged over, and it was almost a crushing blow.
In the face of the onslaught of Liu Yanzhen's cavalry troops, the Zhou army was powerless to fight back, and was captured and killed nearly 2,000 soldiers. Liu Yanzhen tasted such a pleasant victory for the first time, and she was in a good mood. But unfortunately, Liu Yanzhen did not dare to cross the river to pursue, because he led 4,000 cavalry to take the lead, and the speed of the infantry could not catch up at all, and the infantry did not keep up with the large army until dark.
The first battle was successful, and Liu Yanzhen won a complete victory. At this time, the Zhou army was building a defense on the other side of the river, and Liu Yanzhen knew that they did not dare to come from the pontoon bridge to meet them head-on. But he didn't dare to rush over, the situation was the same as Zhou Jun, how many people would die.
Liu Yanzhen said depressedly: "Xian Shilang, I suddenly found that in fact, the effect of establishing a defense here is far better than that of Shouzhou, you look at the terrain here, they dare not come over, of course we dare not go over, if we build a defense here, will the Zhou army still dare to violate my border?"
"My lord, what if the river bursts?"
"Just take a few steps back, are we still afraid of the river?"
Xian Shilang said: "What if the enemy crosses at night by boat?"
"Come and die as many as you want~ You don't need cavalry, you can shoot them all to death in the river with a bow and arrow. Liu Yanzhen has not yet figured it out, and still thinks that it is a very good way to build defenses by the river.
Xian Shilang said: "My lord, that's the case. The defense of the river is limited to the possibility of seeing the enemy, and if the enemy crosses the river from upstream or downstream, and then gathers an army to surround our army, then it will be a battle against the water. ”
"Okay~ It's very good to fight against the water, but you are the source of the allusion to the last battle? Han Xin won a big victory because of the last battle. ”
Xian Shilang said embarrassedly: "My lord, that's Han Xin." If it is not necessary, the villain does not want to fight against the water, and it is best to win the war safely. ”
"Oh~~ That's right. Liu Yanzhen said: "I'm hungry...... Why did the troops in the back run so slowly? They ate a lot of dinner a day, and they really didn't use them when they were fighting. ”
