Chapter 593: Offense and Defense Are Easy to Oppose
"My lord, the number of enemy troops is not as good as our army, and our army has set up a pocket formation here to wait for work, isn't it a perfect strategy, why do you need to change?" The general in the account asked a little puzzled when he saw that Yan Jitai's plan was uncertain and difficult to control.
"As I said, don't underestimate them, otherwise you will suffer a big loss......," Yan Jitai said while contemplating, "Since they deliberately sent a small detachment to go deep first, regardless of victory or defeat, it can be seen that they have long known that our army has set up an ambush here." Lu Jing is very smart, if she knowingly commits a crime, even if she has an advantage in strength and terrain, she will definitely be able to come up with a strategy against our army...... If you want to win, you have to be flexible......"
"Do you have a plan at this time?" the general continued.
"There is already a ......" Yan Jitai showed a strange smile, and then said, "Since they are so eager to come to the rescue, then let them succeed, anyway, it is a matter of time before the Wolf Pass defeats them, instead of taking the risk now, it is better to take a step back and master the various key passes of the Wolf Pass first, and then surround the place of death and break the ...... one by one"
"What do you mean?" the men on the side were still puzzled.
Yan Jiji Tai continued: "It means that our army has abandoned the position here, and let them think that they have successfully broken through and rescued...... What we have to do at this time is to lead the army to turn back from the flank, and the target of the attack is the high ground of Jinjun!"
"Jinjun?" the general asked as if he understood something, but he was vague, as if he understood or not.
"That's right-" Yan Jitai looked very confident, "Why did the enemy army want to occupy Jinjun for all their might......? Now the army of Tang Zhan has been dispatched to the rescue. Presumably, it is to give up the important land of Jinjun, if our army comes by surprise at this time. Instead, if you take Jinjun in your pocket, you can sit and watch the wolf pass the ten main roads...... Then you will fight the enemy again. Not only is there a numerical advantage, but also the entire wolf is under control, and it is only a long time to encircle and annihilate the vanguard troops...... As soon as the wolf passes wins, the momentum of Xuzhou can be reversed, and when the reinforcements of Xuzhou Chengguan are reinforced, Chang Yuchun wants to take Xuzhou in one fell swoop, but it is not easy...... The best of both worlds not only gets revenge. And wouldn't it be nice to keep the city?"
"What your lord said is extremely true!" Yan Jitai's subordinates seemed to be stunned, indeed, theoretically, Yan Jitai's strategy was perfect, not only changed the plan, avoided the edge of the Tang Zhan army that might be faced, but also came to attack and defend easily, first occupy Jinjun, and then control the Wolf Pass. Exterminate the vanguard army and alleviate the difficulties in Xuzhou.
"It seems that even if the military advisor is not there, the lord is really clever-" The general on the side said while complimenting. "Without further ado, my lord, we will now mobilize our troops and take advantage of the fact that the enemy army has not yet discovered ......"
Yan Jitai nodded. Then he ordered: "Order, order the main forces in the army." Take a detour along the southwest side road and take the heights of Jinjun - the remaining two battalions of troops. Stay and defend the place, entangle with the enemy's reinforcements, and don't let the enemy immediately discover the movement of our army!"
"Yes-" The soldiers of Meng Yuan received the order and immediately turned around to prepare......
Besieged high ground, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei were still paying attention to the possible arrival of the enemy army or their own army, but the sky was getting yellow, and the time was coming, and they couldn't see what the Meng Yuan army was doing, and unconsciously, the two of them also felt a little tired......
"There's no movement at all, is that guy from Yan Jitai still fighting?" Murong Fei was a little impatient, so he simply stuffed himself on the haystack on the side, lying on the rock wall, and complained while resting briefly.
"Don't be careless, now it seems that Yan Jitai wants to continue to ambush here, wait for the main force of our army to come to the rescue, and then annihilate us in one fell swoop...... From our point of view, do we want the Tang Zhan brothers to come, or not......" Nangong Jun said with a little entanglement.
As they spoke, the two brothers seemed to feel something at the same time, and there was a slight vibration in the mountain—there was the movement of the hooves of the army's horses, which seemed to be a major move by their own army or the enemy's army.
"Did you hear that?" Nangong Jun said to Murong Fei without looking back, "There is a group of horses' hooves passing by, and they are approaching here-"
However, Murong Fei had a different expression and responded: "No, you heard it wrong, it's good to have the sound of horses' hooves, but it should be far away from here......
"Is there something wrong with your ears? It's obviously a voice close to here-" Nangong Jun was a little puzzled when he heard it, and replied with a "rebuttal".
"No, it's because you have a problem with your ears, my whole body is sticking to the ground, and my hearing perception is definitely ...... than you," Murong Fei still insisted on his opinion.
However, after a while, the two brothers seemed to notice something, Nangong Jun suddenly turned around, Murong Fei was at the same time, looked at each other and said, "Both voices have-"
With the same thought, the two brothers looked down the mountain at the same time, only to see that in the southwest direction, Yan Jitai's troops were detouring from the side road, and the formation slowly left the original position, leaving only a small army to hold the town.
"Yan Jitai is gone?" Murong Fei was a little overjoyed, he would let the enemy out of a desperate situation. Of course, he also knew very well that there was no such good thing in the world, and it must have been done deliberately by Yan Jitai Bazaa.
"Why did the enemy leave?" Nangong Jun also asked, "It was obviously a good time to encircle and suppress our army, but he gave up, was he afraid that Jingmei would have a useful plan......
"I'll just say my plan was successful, right?" Murong Fei said on a whim.
"There's no time to joke now, so let's just hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, it'......s the retreat of Meng Yuan's main force, isn't it?" Nangong Jun muttered, and without thinking, he turned his gaze to the southeast of the narrow pass.
"Eh, look there—" Murong Fei said as if he had discovered something, and raised his voice at the billowing yellow dust in the southeast direction.
Indeed, at the crossing in the southeast direction, there was a more and more intense sound of horses' hooves, and the yellow sand was becoming more and more intense, and it seemed that there would be a torrent that would come out in an instant in the next moment......
"Could it be ...... there" Nangong Jun seemed to have guessed, and looked intently in the direction of the crossing, and so did Murong Fei.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder echoing in the valley. The moment it gets closer, it is menacing...... Suddenly. Like a lightning bolt in the night, a flying horse burst out of the yellow dust. This man was carrying two swords, and Yu Yu galloped over. The sword light flashed, and the thunder staggered, and the yellow sand gushed out behind him, and it was an army of tens of millions.
"It's Brother Zichuan-" Murong Fei shouted excitedly, Nangong Jun was the same, although he knew that he might fall into the trap of the enemy army, but when he saw his reinforcements galloping away, he still felt that his fighting spirit was rekindled and his blood was boiling for the first time. So much so that the two brothers have forgotten the unknown movement of the retreat of Yanjitai's troops just now......
At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Zichuan took the lead and took the lead in the charge, and tens of millions of troops followed behind, surging layer by layer like rolling thunder. The Mengyuan troops left in the position, after receiving the military order from the previous time, naturally stayed behind to defend against the enemy in case of emergency. Seeing the enemy's attack, the Mengyuan array was lined up in a cavalry formation. Just like intercepting Murong Fei's troops before, he wanted to attack left and right.
But the difference is that this time the forces of the two sides are reversed, because of the absolute superiority in numbers. The Mengyuan troops were able to besiege Murong Fei's troops, and now that the main force of Yan Jitai had withdrawn, the remaining troops were not as good as the vanguard army at all, and the main force of the vanguard army was completely dispatched. An offensive like a wave can overwhelm the Meng Yuan troops in an instant......
"Flying cavalry Zhao Zichuan killed-" Zhao Zichuan still shouted the command to charge and kill. The two swords in his hand weaved out the net, and even the slashing sword technique arrived like a cloud. Only in the next moment penetrate into the belly of the enemy.
Meng Yuan knew that he could not be encircled, so he could only block it head-on. Seeing that Zhao Zichuan was charging forward alone, the Meng Yuan generals in the formation were dissatisfied and wanted to merge forward to intercept his "arrogance".
"Rub-" Meng Yuaner pulled out the Miao knife at the same time, rode the horse and galloped, the cold light flashed in the yellow dust, and he attacked and rushed towards Zhao Zichuan.
Zhao Zichuan smiled slightly, and didn't seem to take these miscellaneous pieces into his eyes. "I promised Yuru, there can be no more injuries in the charge and killing array...... killing the enemy, but still thinking about the agreement between himself and his wife, which shows Zhao Zichuan's extreme self-confidence. And in a trance, the war horses of the two sides are already approaching......
"Die-" General Meng Yuan shouted angrily, and the Miao knife in his hand was already raised. The other horseman was also, as if he wanted to cut Zhao Zichuan under the horse in the middle of the two-person war horse.
Zhao Zichuan held the sword in both hands...... and in an instant, lightning flashed like a flint, and the yellow and green sword light intertwined, flashing in front of the eyes of the Meng Yuan soldiers. Before he noticed anything, the two generals of Meng Yuan had already had an extra blood mouth in their abdomen, and the sudden sharp pain spread to the whole body, the blood flowed endlessly, and the hand holding the knife lost consciousness at once...... "Ah-" "Ah-" At the same time, the two generals of Meng Yuan were killed on the spot, and they were killed by Zhao Zichuan Feiqi under the horse with just one move.
The two generals were about to die, and the Meng Yuan army was suddenly in chaos, the number was not as good as the number, and now the generals were killed, and the army faced Zhao Zichuan's bravery, but he had no courage to deal with it, and the formation began to disperse......
"Just now-" On the high ground, Nangong Jun got up and said, "Brother Murong, we will also go to help Brother Zichuan!"
"Okay-" Murong Fei was also full of fighting spirit, and together with Nangong Jun, he regrouped and marched out of battle, preparing to rush down the hill together and fight to the death with the remnants of Meng Yuan......
After Zhao Zichuan flew into the cavalry, the follow-up troops of the vanguard army arrived in time. General Li Xian and Li Gong originally accompanied Zhao Zichuan to charge into the battle, Zhao Zichuan was seriously wounded, and now he was still risking the charge, the two of them couldn't let go, and they rushed to the army with horses. Following behind, the infantry camp of the Five Absolute Formations led by Xiao Tian, Su Jia, Hu Yidi and others also arrived with them - it seems that Yan Jitai's intelligence is very accurate, and the main forces of the vanguard army are all here......
"Kill-" Zhao Zichuan had already let go of his hand, and regardless of whether the enemy army still had resistance in the formation, the swing of the double sword was to sweep away thousands of troops in the formation. The Mengyuan soldiers also saw Zhao Zichuan's deterrent spirit, and they abandoned their armor and dragged the soldiers away, without the power to resist.
Originally, the remnants of the army left behind by Yan Jitai had no will to fight, just to delay time, and its idea was still to cover the main force to detour to the county......
There was chaos in the Meng Yuan array, and the soldiers did not want to deal with it head-on, so they wanted to turn around and retreat and flee.
"Brother Zichuan, we're coming—" But just behind the middle of the Meng Yuan formation, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei, who had been besieged by the Meng Yuan army before rushing down from the hillside, happened to counterattack and encircle this time, and also blocked the enemy's retreat. With the rendezvous of the main force of the vanguard army and Nangong Murong's troops, this remnant of the Mengyuan army was quickly submerged in the sword shadow yellow dust......
Jinjun Guanqian ......
"My lord, there is news from the northern province, the main force of the vanguard army has broken through, and the town guard branch of our army has been destroyed...... "Yan Jitai is coming to Jinjun with the main force, but there is news of the loss of positions from the rear.
However, Yan Jitai did not show disappointment, but was particularly happy - his plan was successful, and he successfully attracted the main force of the vanguard army to withdraw from Jinjun, paving the way for his next plan.
Yan Jitai looked up at the empty Jinjun Heights, and saw the traces of the battle last night under the Jinjun Pass, he smiled and said: "Hmph, although Tang Zhan and Lu Jing are smart, they have a fatal flaw, that is, they are too soft-hearted and reluctant to brotherhood...... In order to save such a remnant of the worthless army, we did not hesitate to give up a military dangerous place like Jinjun, it seems that the troops who were besieged by us before, the generals have a good relationship with them......"
The subordinates beside him led the army to sneak into the Jinjun Heights to inspect it, and then went down the mountain to report: "My lord, as you expected, the Jinjun garrison is empty at this time, and our army has planned to recapture this important position, and there is almost no loss. Using bait to trick the main force of the enemy army into giving up Jinjun, and then I have it, my lord's plan is really wonderful!"
Not only him, but all the generals in the formation admired Yan Jitai's strategy. It's not flattery, it's really admiration, because what the soldiers saw was true, and Yan Jitai used a trick to regain the important land of Jinjun.
Yan Jitai smiled, still very calm: "Don't be too happy too early, it's just that you took Jinjun and successfully calculated the vanguard military headquarters...... The difficulty of Xuzhou has not been alleviated, and while Chang Yuchun has not yet reacted to the emptiness of Xuzhou City, we have to hurry up and do the next step-"
"What are we going to do next, my lord?" the close general continued.
While ordering the army to occupy Jinjun in time and set up border defenses, Yan Jitai said: "As long as the highlands of Jinjun are occupied, the entire wolf pass will be in my hands, and the vanguard army will have no chance to defeat our army...... That being the case, we should now focus on the difficulties of Xuzhou. Previously, in order to intercept the ambush at Wolf Pass, almost all of the main forces of Xuzhou were dispatched. Now that Xuzhou is empty, taking advantage of the fact that the troops have not paid attention to it, they will send half of the main force back to defend Xuzhou Chengguan in time, and respond to the military division, the vanguard army of Wolf Pass, and leave 20,000 troops to ......"
The trusted general listened and nodded, but he was still a little suspicious: "It's really good for my lord to take the overall situation into account, but is it really reassuring that only 20,000 are left here at Wolf Ziguan?"
"No problem, the heights of Jinjun occupy the natural danger, and the vanguard army itself is only 20,000 at most, even if it is a strong attack, there is no chance of winning, not to mention the terrain of this Wolf Pass, we know much better than them......" Yan Jitai said with a smile, "First send most of the main force back to Xuzhou, deal with the urgency of the siege of the city in spring, and wait until the difficulty of Xuzhou is alleviated, and then collude with the Xuzhou front army division, and the two sides will work together to attack the wolf pass indefinite vanguard military headquarters, then Tang Zhan Lu Jing has great ability, and he will not want to retreat from the wolf pass—— After all, if we and the Xuzhou side were to encircle the two armies at Wolf Pass, they would not be able to escape from here at all. Leaving behind the dangerous land of Jinjun is the biggest miscalculation of Tang Zhan Lu Jing-"
"Your Excellency is talking about ......," said Ying He, a trusted general.
"Order, order General Tan Youhu to lead 40,000 main forces to retreat to Xuzhou, to receive the military division of the imperial city, and our remaining troops will guard here in Jinjun County, and monitor every move of the vanguard military headquarters in Wolf Ziguan-" Yan Jitai immediately ordered.
"The last general obeys the order!" After receiving the order, the trusted general immediately turned around and arranged.
"Tang Zhan, Lu Jing, you have come to the end, although I let you escape at Qiling Pass last time, but in the end, I won this war in the end, and you will die in my hands sooner or later, hum ......" Yan Jitai smiled secretly in his heart. (To be continued.) )
