Chapter 603: Chaos (1)
I can't open my eyes, something is wrong
Miao Xin was bold enough, planted a big flag all over the field, and then led people into the woods to rest and eat dry food. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The dust gradually dissipated, and Qin Pingchuan, who was standing on the high hill, could only see the banner waving in the wind because of the woods, and could not see the scene below.
"From the distribution of flags, it is estimated that the enemy army should be between 70,000 and 80,000, according to intelligence, there is only one Xia army in Poyang Lake nearby, it seems that this army has arrived, but it is said that this is a regiment of Xia Kingdom, there should be 100,000 horses, and there is a difference in numbers. ”
A strategist estimated and explained to Qin Pingchuan.
"A legion of 100,000 horses should have 10,000 baggage, and if there are 70,000 people on the opposite side, then this legion is still short of 20,000 men, and then send scouts to investigate in all directions. ”
Qin Pingchuan was a little nervous, what he was most afraid of was not the enemy army on the surface, what he was afraid of was the enemy army lurking in the shadows ready to sneak attack, although he had a lot of numbers, his combat effectiveness was not high, and he belonged to the tired army, so he must be vigilant, otherwise there will be chaos if he is raided.
Once it is disrupted, it is difficult to put it away.
So a general was ordered to send another 3,000 scouts.
However, the Qin army did not have horses now, and it was difficult to investigate further.
In the southeast direction, less than five miles away from the Qin army, there was a willow forest, and in this willow forest, there was a cavalry of more than 4,000 people hidden here.
This is the 4,000 Black Flag Army originally responsible for protecting Zhang Xian, led by Zhao Bengao, because Zhang Xian returned to Shunyi City, which was the rear, as long as the Qin army could not cross the Li River, there would be no danger there, so Zhang Xian let Zhao Bengao go to the front line to fight.
So Zhao Bengao led people to take the troop transport ship of the navy into Poyang Lake, and then received an order to rush to the aid of Qinyang City.
Not long after they came ashore, they were resting in the willow forest, and the scouts they sent came back to report that they had found a large group of Qin troops.
"General, how about we give him a surprise attack?"
Someone suggested.
"That's natural, but it's not the time yet, wait for those Qin army scouts to return before acting. ”
The Qin army scouts were indeed very tired, and after walking a short distance, they lay down to rest, intending to kill time and then return, and the province was reprimanded.
Today has been gloomy since the morning, and now it is almost noon, the whole sky has been shrouded in dark clouds, although it is noon, but the weather in late autumn and early winter is already very cold, the cold wind blows, and the Qin army, who has not changed his winter clothes, feels the cold wind as soon as he rests.
There is no food in the stomach, and it is even more hungry and cold.
So even the most diligent scouts are starting to get lazy.
Qin Pingchuan deeply knew what the state of his people was, but he didn't have a good way, if he wanted his hundreds of thousands of people to recover their combat effectiveness, he had to solve the problem of food and equipment replenishment, but the Qinyang City in front of him came with reinforcements, which made his plan fail.
He sent people to check whether there were any villages and towns, and if there were, they looted twice, even if they were half-full, they could still have the strength to fight. 、
Then he sent someone to contact Qin Min, he wanted to take people back to the north bank of the Chen River, but the back road was broken, only Qin Min could still have a road here, if Qin Min could lead people to cross the Chen River, the two combined forces would be in one place, and it would be no problem to capture Qinyang City.
Qin Pingchuan waited anxiously for news.
And Ma Huan took his Jiewei Army and chased after Qin Pingchuan's ass.
Originally, the Jiewei army was preparing to reinforce the northern army, after all, the Chinese army led by Wu Yuehou came from the pontoon bridge.
Of the 256,000 men, most of them were fully armed and equipped and brought with them a lot of dry food.
The Northern Army and the Wuwei Army alone could hardly pose a threat to them.
However, when he was preparing to join the northern army, he received an order to lead people to destroy the Qin army attacking Qinyang City first, eliminate the threat to Wuduo City, and try to cooperate with the naval army to force Qin Min back.
When Ma Huan received the order, the news of the Shenwei army's retreat to Jiangnan had not yet been known to Zhang Yan.
At this moment, Wu Yuehou's army had already passed through the old river channel, and Chai Ming did not dare to ambush it, but opened a distance of about ten miles.
The location of the Wuwei army is to isolate Wu Yuehou's army from the city of Kanding, as long as Wu Yuehou does not make a move to attack the city of Kanding, the army of Wu Wei does not plan to contact the Qin army for the time being.
Qi Feng was ambushed and the whole army was annihilated, although Wu Yuehou had not yet gotten the exact news, but Qian Fu's more than 100,000 people disappeared like that, and he couldn't be contacted, so something must have happened.
In the old river channel, Wu Yuehou was also very nervous, but he was not ambushed, and traces of battle were also found in the old river channel, but Chai Ming cleaned the battlefield very thoroughly,、、、、、、、、、
