Chapter 991: Breaking the camp and shaking the white lotus

The word "chasing again" is simple to write on paper, but the meaning it represents is not simple, and even contains many mysteries.

"Master Qiu has just broken through the big camp, and he won't rest for a while, so he will continue to attack?"

Judging from the previous narrative, this Zhao Hong used the method of serial camps recorded in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", since several major battalions have been broken, then even if Zhao Hong is not captured or killed, there is no longer a threat, it is the time when the poor Kou Mo chases. ”

"Speaking of which, where will the Bachelor chase again? His White Lotus Sect's soldiers and horses are no longer than the Yangtze River, but they have all been defeated by the Bachelor, and if they chase again, where will they be chased? The south side can be managed by the White Lotus Sect quite tightly, and once you enter it, it is equivalent to going deep alone!"

The word "chasing again" reflects the short time and the quick decision is made, and when put into the sentence, it gives people a sense of urgency and non-stop, so many generals present have tasted an unusual taste from it.

After whispering, the eyes of these generals were focused on Wu Erlang's body, and the latter stared at the file in his hand with wide eyes, his face full of horror.

Syllable!

At this time, Wu Siping, who was sitting at the top, stretched out a leg, kicked Wu Erlang's ass violently, and said in his mouth: "Why do you stop reading and reading, hurry up! Don't patronize yourself, I still have to listen to your old son!"

"Yes......" Wu Erlang was kicked back to his senses, and continued, "The bachelor led the army to chase again, chased after the thief army Hongzhou camp before dawn, broke through the seventy-two villages, beheaded eight thousand, and fought until dawn, uprooting the foundation of the Northern Army of the White Lotus Sect in one fell swoop!"

"Unplugged?"

Wu Siping was stunned, and the other generals looked at each other.

They also knew the general layout of the White Lotus Sect, and knew that the camp along the river was the foundation for its northward march, and after the operation was stable, they would lead troops and horses from here to cross the river and attack the north.

Right now. The serial battalion along the river was broken by Qiu Yan, so the attempt to go north was thwarted, but this did not mean that the White Lotus Sect was uprooted.

This large camp is one of the measures taken by the White Lotus Sect to consolidate the land it occupies, and it is also garrisoned by specially refined soldiers, who can be called elite soldiers, even compared to the "Northern Expedition" army led by Zhao Hong. It's just that it's not comparable in terms of numbers.

However, the survival of this Hongzhou battalion is not for attacking, but to stabilize the rear.

I want to quickly digest and absorb the occupied land, and then squeeze the value, so the layout of the big camp is even more careful, not only Zhao Hong participated in the arrangement, but also several other generals have contributed. Even among the high-level leaders in Lingnan, such as Dong Taishi, well-informed people also have guidance.

Not to mention, the camp itself was also built according to the formation map. What stands out is the word "defend", which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

In the final analysis, the Hongzhou camp is to stabilize the territory and stabilize the foundation of the White Lotus Sect. Therefore, they did not rush forward, and divided into seventy-two villages, which were connected below. Although the number of people is small, under the influence of the right time, place and people, it is even more difficult to break through than Zhao Hong's serial battalion along the river!

Because of this, after Zhao Hong's army was defeated, he led the remnants to break through the siege, so he chose to go to Hongzhou, and sent out the news in advance, so that Hongzhou could make a layout and ambush.

This is the reason why the poor Kou Mo chases, originally to break the enemy army, it is an advantage, grasp the initiative, but once to pursue, the initiative changes hands, there are many more variables and unknowns ahead, but it is easy to make the shape shì reversed.

It's just that today's shape has not only not reversed, but is also developing in an amazing direction!

The simplicity written on this dossier is just a few words and a sentence, and they are all generals in the army, so they know what kind of fight is hidden behind these simple words!

Seventy-two villages, all of them were broken!

This is just like the amazing and brilliant people in history, who only leave a sentence or a few hundred words of records in the history books, and it is difficult for outsiders to taste the blood behind it based on the words of the war report file alone, but it is completely different when it falls into the ears of those who know the soldiers.

The difficulty, as well as the aftermath of the impact, are all in everyone's minds.

"Even the Hongzhou camp has been breached, this is not to prevent the White Lotus thief army from going north, but to shake the foundation of the thief army in the south......" a general said here, sighing again and again.

Everyone else also counted in their hearts, and guessed why even the emperor took back the "Chrysostom and Jade Words".

It stands to reason that even if the White Lotus Army's camp along the river is broken, after all, the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect is still there, and a large area of land and cities in the south are still in the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and are being operated and consolidated.

But now their army has been told that they don't need to go south for the time being.

Even Wu Siping, a big old man, tasted something unusual from it, and couldn't help frowning and asked: "I heard that the White Lotus Thief Army has built five large camps in the south, each of which is used to suppress the local area and maintain rule like the Hongzhou camp, even if one is swept away by the bachelor, there are still four left, the emperor ordered us not to go south, could it be that the other big camps are gone......"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on his son.

Wu Erlang was looked at by him, his heart jumped, he didn't plan to be kicked again, and hurriedly continued to read: "The bachelor broke through the Hongzhou camp, gathered the local remnants, and then divided the troops into two routes, all the way to the south and all the way to the north, going to and from Jiangnan and Lingnan. ”

At this point, the voice stopped, and what was recorded below was some battle loss ratio, and the specific battle report had been said.

However, for Qiu Yan's final choice, everyone present was both surprised and puzzled.

"At this time, why divide the troops?"

"Originally, there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses, even if the combat power is amazing, how much can be left with such a point?"

"It was a lone army to go deep, but the troops were divided into two ways, entering the place where Jiangnan and Lingnan were occupied by the White Lotus Sect, this is ......"

At this time, many generals were puzzled, because this move can be said to be a taboo for soldiers, if someone else did this, even Wu Siping would laugh at it, and then say some reason, but it could be replaced by Qiu Yan, not only did they not laugh, but racked their brains to think about the mystery.

After all, Qiu Yangang took 5,000 people, fought back and forth, and broke through nearly 200,000 troops before and after, only a few days before and after, the emperor here ordered the transfer of troops, and the enemy army over there was wiped out.

"There's got to be something in this that I haven't figured out. ”

"What is the purpose? Is it the trust of the five thousand soldiers who have been trained by him personally?"

"Could it be another surprise attack?"

"It's hard to say, the thief army that entered Shu was destroyed, and it hasn't been long now, the bachelor used the method of surprise attack, but after two battles, he has completely stood in the foreground, and every move will be closely investigated, and the thieves of the White Lotus Sect are afraid that they will continue to send dead soldiers to collect news. ”

"Yes, it's impossible to surprise now, but then again, even if you don't divide the troops, the five thousand people of Master Qiu may not be able to play a role anymore, no matter how high the combat power is, once exposed, five thousand people are five thousand after all, and their own limitations will not change due to training. ”

Several generals were deep in thought, thinking about each other, hoping to find out the reason from Qiu Yan's actions.

Lu Meng sat in front and looked at the generals, feeling that these people were not listening to the war report, but reading the military book and thinking about the essence of the military book.

"Alas, Qiu Yan never said that he was a member of the military family, but his influence on the military family has reached such a point, and if he goes down, what will he do?"

Even so, he still had to admire Qiu Yan's ability, and he was also curious about Qiu Yan's plans, but he was more worried about the future of the soldier family than curiosity.

Syllable!

At this time, Wu Si slapped him suddenly and asked, "How long ago was the matter mentioned in this file? Was it yesterday or the day before yesterday?"

When he asked, everyone was shocked.

Wu Erlang glanced at the file, estimated it, and then said, "Five days ago." ”

"It was six days ago!" On the side, the corners of Lu Meng's eyes twitched, and he muttered to himself, this kid is really Wu Siping's species.

"It's been six days?"

"Yes, if Master Qiu divides his troops, and the emperor and the court know about it, they will definitely be worried, it is impossible not to let us go south, then it is very likely, this news is already a few days ago. ”

"This matter must have been decided, and the decision made by the imperial court has already been made. ”

"In just six days, if you change to someone else, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything, but in the hands of Master Qiu, what it can become, it's really hard to predict. ”

While the generals were discussing, Wu Siping said to Lu Meng again: "I don't know if there is any news?

As soon as he asked, the others fell silent.

Lu Meng shook his head and said: "The further south you go, the more leaky the White Lotus Sect's operation becomes, and it is not easy to get the news, even if there is news, it is not something that our level can know." ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I still want to know where this division of troops came from," Wu Siping shook his head regretfully, "It seems that if there is a chance in the future, I will have to visit this Master Qiu in person." ”

He didn't know that this idea would involve a legend in the future, which was a later story, so I won't express it for the time being.

..................

But it was said that Qiu Yan was going back and forth in the south, and the five thousand people were not many, and after a few battles, there were also injuries, but the number was not large, but this little bit of people was put in the entire south, like water droplets, and the base camp of the White Lotus Sect seemed to be a drop in the bucket.

Even if you count some of the remnants of the army that he has gathered, there are not many of them.

It's just that Qiu Yan got the key to victory from the battle of the camp along the river, so he divided his troops, and in just five or six days, he changed the general trend. (To be continued......)
