It's night,
The bonfires in the camp make a crackling sound from time to time;
Except for the soldiers responsible for internal and external patrols, the rest of the Qianguo sergeants are either resting or doing brush work Horse, or just sharpening a knife.
Being able to prepare for war calmly and in an orderly manner before a war is what an elite soldier should be like.
At least, for Gan Jun, he really has a completely different look from what he was more than ten years ago.
In the commander's tent,
a group of generals stood in front of Zhong Tianlang.
"Shuai Zhong, not only the Yan army from Anhai Town has come out now, but also the Yan army from Donghai Town. The Yan people are planning to fight us for their lives."
"Yes, Commander Zhong, the Yan army in front of us is a direct descendant of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was brought out by the regent of the Yan Kingdom. He is indeed loyal at the moment. He knows that there is a tiger in front of him, but he still goes towards the tiger. "
Zhong Tianlang tapped his forehead with his fingers and leaned back slightly.
In fact, beating a master to death with random punches may be possible in other industries, but it basically does not happen in military confrontations. Although there are similar examples in history, in many cases, it is Far-fetched.
When the old master is the commander-in-chief, when faced with an incredible situation, he can choose to do nothing and just stop here to watch your performance, or you can do your thing and I will do mine. Let’s see who is the most anxious in the end.
War, in general terms, is not a particularly complicated matter. After all, there are only two types left;
One is fighting against oneself. Attack the enemy in front of you when you have the advantage;
The second type is a supplement to the first, which is to work hard to gather your own advantages.
Zhong Tianlang is a disciple of a general. He has rich tutoring and experience. Although he has doubts in his heart, he is far from messing around.
“What I don’t understand is that if the Yan troops from these three towns plan to risk their lives to rush in to meet their prince, what should they do?
Penetrate us ?
Even if they really penetrate us, how will they deal with the Wu family's blockade on the Qianjiang River? It's impossible to go up and down the river, right?
If we rush over, wouldn’t the day lilies be cold?
Or...
As you said, they just don’t care about it, just to be loyal to that person? ”
p>Zhong Tianlang took a sip of tea and said,
"The Yan army from Anhai Town came out first, and the sentries came to report that they were heading towards our right army. The Yan army from Donghai Town was behind. They came out for our left army.
But the main force of the Yan army in these three towns stopped in front of us for no reason.
They left the city first. He stopped again and even leaned forward a little more.
I really don’t understand what this means.
What if he wants to.Can we pin down our Chinese army to gain more room for maneuver for our friendly forces on both wings?
But if he really had this goal, why not just stick to the city? Wouldn't it have a greater containment effect and make it easier to advance and retreat?
We have to leave the city, give the city to us, and then turn around and come back...
What is the purpose of doing this?
I have been thinking for a long time and have a guess in my mind. You may laugh when I tell you. "
"Please give me some instructions, Commander Zhong. "
"Please let me know, Commander-in-Chief. "
"That's because I feel that the Yan Army in these three towns may be...internal strife.
Due to internal strife, no one obeyed anyone, and in the end it became... in a simple sense, each one fought on its own. "
"..." Generals.
The generals of the Qian Kingdom in the commander's tent were silent for a moment.
They were speaking to their commanders. This conclusion is somewhat...unacceptable.
Infighting?
Shouldn't this be what happens when we fight among ourselves?
Why, the Yan people are also fighting among themselves?
Zhong Tianlang didn't feel angry when he saw the reactions of his generals.
A hundred years ago. Not counting the one in Liangdi, in the past ten years or so, Ganren has really been frightened by the Yan people. What can really be counted is the great victory in Liangdi. But if we really want to count, that great victory After that, the human regent directly took over the capital.
Over the years,
The status of the generals of the Qian Kingdom has improved, the quality of the Qian army's armor has improved, and the soldiers' swords have improved. They were sharper, and the military pay was more generous;
But the energy in my heart facing the Yan people was never raised.
Once on the battlefield,
p>
Seeing the black dragon flag of the Yan people,
My momentum immediately weakened by three points.
If I see the king's flag of the regent of the Yan country again, I will lose it again. Two points dropped;
Therefore, facing the Yan army in eastern Shanxi, there was basically only five points of morale left in front of the battle.
But the more they looked like this,
Zhong Tianlang feels more and more that he... must have guessed it right.
“We are all human beings, and we are all Qiu Ba. Even, unlike barbarians, we all say the same thing. , and zooming out a little further, more than 800 years ago, they were all from the same ancestor.
We can make mistakes, why can’t Yan people make them? "
Zhong Tianlang stood up from the commander's seat,
reached out his hand and nodded at the two generals:
"I command you to lead five thousand cavalry and turn back to the south. ! "
"I will obey your orders! "
"You, lead five thousand riders and turn back to the north. "
"I will obey your orders! "
"The commander on the two armies on the left and right has already ordered them to stay step by step and not to let loose...
Oh, if you want to come to them, you can only be afraid.If you want to die, how dare you underestimate any enemy.
I estimate that they may be dozens of miles away from where I have planned.
However, this is enough, as long as they can hold steady and withstand the Yan people's offensive;
You two, take advantage of the situation and copy it from behind the Yan people, and give it to me. , swallow up these two groups of Yan troops first! "
"The last general takes command! "
"The last general takes command! ”
The two armies on the left and right each have more than 20,000 horses, and the two wings of the Yan people only have 5,000 horses. But Zhong Tianlang really does not dare to be overly optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Jiangnan local army.
p>Even if he had five times the number, he would still be trapped by the Yan people.
So, he finally decided to send two troops to turn back and encircle them. One was to appease the left and right sides. Lu Dajun, second, since the meat was delivered to his door, he will eat it first.
Then,
Zhong Tianlang gave another order,
"Send the order, dawn." The front army is pressing forward, and I want to see if the Yan army in front of me dares to fight! ”
This is what the generals do.
Both parties are actually guns drawn out on their respective fronts, providing strategic support for their respective wings.
< p>After the discussion in the commander's office, the generals received their commander's orders and left.Zhong Tianlang sat alone on the commander's seat,
playing with a jade ring in his hand. /p>
This ring was given to me by the late emperor when I married the princess.
At that time, my father had just passed away. Later, my uncle’s life stained the Yan people. The title of Marquis Andong.
In addition, the Western Army was moved north early, and the family's financial resources were all empty.
It can be said that if it had not been for the late emperor. If he marries a princess and continues to push her, even if he is still in the army, he, Zhong Tianlang, will never be as dignified as he is today.
However, the late emperor who values support and cares about him is actually the one who leads it himself. The army forced him to abdicate, or even... to death.
"My late emperor...you are disheartened. "
Zhong Tianlang still remembers what the late emperor said on the mountain road in Houshan before the "liberation" that day.
"But we are not willing to accept it. , is still competitive. "
After Zhong Tianlang murmured to himself,
he smiled self-deprecatingly,
"If that person surnamed Zheng were to change my position, there would be someone opposite me. There is no need for an army of 30,000 to resist the 15,000-strong army. I'm afraid it would only hold up to the sky with 10,000 troops. ”
Zhong Tianlang didn’t want to use the differences between his soldiers and horses to excuse himself.
He covered his face with both hands,
let out a long sigh,< /p>
said:
“Actually, I am also afraid in my heart. "
......
The two armies faced each other. They were both cavalry regiments. The sentry cavalry of both sides fought together early, and because the distance was too close,Therefore, there are actually not many secrets between each other.
"Looking at the posture of Qianjun, he is going to challenge me for a decisive battle tomorrow morning."
Chen Xianba looked at the bonfire in front of him, and the firelight illuminated his face, suddenly Suddenly dark.
When Zheng Man led his army to attack, he was angry;
After Tiantian made the same choice, Chen Xianba felt no peace of mind at all. Anger.
It’s not because Tiantian’s identity is special...
Although anyone with a discerning eye knows it, even Zheng Man himself knows that even though his adopted son has changed his surname, he is still the same as the prince. In my heart, my status must be far inferior to Tiantian whose surname is Tian.
Chen Xianba has realized it.
That wolf cub Zheng Man may suddenly go crazy, but Tiantian will never...if he gets it in his hands Yes, he really obeyed his general's orders.
That is to say...
It is very likely that
Tiantian and Zheng Man have the same bag as themselves... empty tips.
After thinking about this clearly, Chen Xianba felt a mouthful of blood in his chest and almost spurted it out, but he held it back, even though his face turned red.
After all, he still did not dare to disobey the prince's order even if he doubted it,
Even if his current situation became very...passive because of this empty bag of tips.
Originally, the total number of troops and horses in the three towns was more than 25,000, which was enough to give the Qian army a fight. Although the Qian soldiers were more powerful and there were a lot more cavalry this time, Chen Xianba He is a qualified hunter. He believes that with his own skills, he can find opportunities to take a big bite of the opposing army's meat.
But now, both of his wings have been lost, and he is blocked by the central army of Ganjun.
The strategic space was instantly compressed into an extremely embarrassing situation.
Tomorrow,
either I have to retreat a long way east,
or,
I have to bite the bullet and fight with others. A cavalry showdown begins here.
Chen Xianba is not afraid of tough battles. On the contrary, he likes to fight challenging opponents, which will give him a greater sense of self-satisfaction.
But war is not a contest between rivers and lakes.
At present, Ganren’s arrangements are very clear. With the cavalry regiment led by this prince consort plus tens of thousands of Ganjun’s miscellaneous soldiers in Jiangnan, the army is spread across the Yangtze River. Stop your own troops in Jiangdong.
Then calmly use superior elite troops to capture Jinghai City and deal with his own prince.
Even though he only has half of the enemy's troops under his command, Chen Xianba still dares to stand up and fight.
But after finishing...
I am disabled,
What can I use to continue to contain the Qian army, and what can I use to respond to and support my own family? Prince?
If you really want to trade your life for your life at this time, even if it is one for two, you will have to laugh!
"General, tomorrow..."The deputy general began to ask about tomorrow's arrangements. At this time, it is time to make preparations. Whether to fight or withdraw, we must make arrangements first.
Chen Xianba shook his head,
Looking in front of him
Immediately,
stood up and
said:
"We withdrew , then my two stupid brothers will be completely made dumplings by nearly 100,000 people.
Send the order,
Make rice in advance tomorrow morning,
add bacon. "
......
Three flowers bloomed, one by one.
Zheng Man was furious and led his troops westward.
< p>It is impossible for him to rely on the troops under his command to directly collide with Ganren's central army. Instead, he bypassed Ganren's central army from the beginning and rushed to the rear.Then, they encountered Ganren's right-leg army.
The configuration of Ganjun's Jiangdong troops was in the shape of a "pin", with the two wings behind them being Jiangnan County troops. Due to the restrictions on the types of troops and the fact that they were facing the Shandong Army, their advancement speed was naturally getting slower and slower.
Fortunately, coach Zhong Tianlang did not want to rely on them to fight a tough battle. The existence of the enemy is to broaden the width of the battlefield, and to provide two rear foundations for the Chinese army that can really fight hard.
In addition, if it is a smooth battle, it can still be used to instill morale in them.
But when the situation on the battlefield was not clear and he had not completely disabled the Yan army, Daqian Prince Consort did not dare to push them forward. If they were defeated at the first touch, he would be shaken.
Similarly,
My family knows that their own affairs are true, and as an opponent, Yan Jun also knows what kind of army is easy to fight.
Originally, Zheng Man planned to lead his troops to attack the opponent first, not to rush into the formation, but to drive away and intimidate them, trying to compress the opponent and test the success a priori.
If so. If he can frighten them away, or if it is obvious that he is really careless, he can boldly make another detour, walk further south, find a breakthrough to cross the river, wait until he reaches Jiangxi, and go to Jinghai City to find his prince. < /p>
But the idea is very full, but the reality is even more skinny than the skinny woman Zheng Man has always disliked.
What is undisputed is that the opposite Ganjun. , is indeed a... very bad army.
But the problem is that they have a very clear understanding of themselves.
Everyone from the generals down to the ordinary soldiers. Feeling that they are no match for the Yan people, they strictly abide by the Prince Consort’s military orders and underestimate the enemy?
That’s not true!
Not only that, their progress is also slow;< /p>
In addition, Chen Xianba's active retreat forced Zhong Tianlang to push out first, so the "pin" shape and the "mouth" at the front and back were stretched too long
and these dryThe army moved slowly, but they knew the current affairs. The military stronghold was built...
Zheng Man personally observed in front of the formation that the opponent's military stronghold was not built in an orderly manner. In some places, It is still very unreasonable. Obviously this army does not have rich experience in fighting. If it were the Qianguo Laoxi Army or other border troops, it would be absolutely impossible to establish such a military stronghold;
But the problem Yes, they are dense enough and deep enough;
The fences and obstacles were set up with great effort, and the trenches were dug... and they were really willing to put in the effort.
No wonder this army of cadres marches slowly. I am afraid that too much time is simply wasted on "step by step".
And with advance warning, no matter whether it is a large force of the Yan army or a partial division, it is a terrifying existence for them, so they have tightened all alerts early on. .
However, it is this situation that is the most troublesome. They are so thorough that you have no chance to take advantage. If Zheng Man has a strong enough army and enough troops, Many, it is not very difficult to push down this military stronghold, but he doesn't have many troops under his command. If he forces himself on it, he can only end up spreading pancakes. He pays a huge price and cannot achieve the desired effect.
The most important thing is that if there is no way to create a momentum of shock and let these county soldiers suffer some hardships and vent their frustration, Zheng Man believes that by the time he gets around it, this "shrinking" army will It will definitely be added slowly along with myself.
In order to avoid the Wu family navy, I must go far upstream. When I reach a suitable ferry location, I have to make some preparations to cross the river. If I can't complete it with this army, If you "cut", it will really become a situation where the tortoise is chasing the hare to death.
Zheng Man attaches great importance to friendship, but he is not stupid. After all, he has worked for Zheng Fan for so many years, and he was also trained by Jin Shuke, so it is impossible for him to die in silence.
Death, at least it must be of some value, at least it must die in front of the adoptive father, so that the adoptive father can listen to it, right?
Without much hesitation,
Zheng Man gritted his teeth,
ordered:
"Give the order and go around the front. This army."
"General, are you going to go south?"
Zheng Man glared at him and said:
< p>"No, go north!"......
The sentry cavalry came to report, and the Yan army withdrew.
The guard in the military camp breathed a sigh of relief;
In the middle of the night, another military report came from outside, saying that a large cavalry was approaching. That heart was lifted again.
However, it was immediately discovered that they were the Prince Consort's army, and the generals burst into tears of joy.
After the general of the cavalry of this dry army arrived, he found that the Yan army did not attack his right army. He was slightly surprised, but after seeing the tightness and scale of the right army's military camp, After that, it was no longer a surprise.
Anyone who is not a fool is probably not willing to rush into this kind of military formation.
"Send the order, the Yan army must have detoured southward, let's pursue it southward!"
...
A similar scene appeared at the same time Position on the other side.
The two Jiangnan County soldiers of Qianjun carried out the tactics from the heart to the extreme. After seeing this kind of military camp every day, they even felt that their hands were a little sore.
As long as I don’t kill people... just clearing these fences and trenches and walking through them will probably cost me half my life.
Tiantian looked back behind him and ordered:
"Detour southward!"
Similarly not long after, the soldiers who were originally sent to attack Yan The Chu army finally chose to continue chasing north.
......
The new generation of generals in the palace are almost dominated by Chen Xianba, Zheng Man and Tiantian.
The first is Genzheng Miaohong, who is undoubtedly the direct line of the direct line. Both of them were raised since childhood. Even Chen Xianba, who was originally a wild "brother-in-law", has long been used by the palace. Love breeds poultry.
The second is their extraordinary talents. After all, the talents of Chen Xianba and Tiantian have been verified by prophecies.
They are young,
They are bold,
They are talented,
The regent once said eloquently to the blind man: However, he has two and a half champions under his command.
Even if Zheng Man is not suitable to be the head coach and take charge of the overall situation, it is absolutely no problem to be the general in charge and lead the army in a roundabout way.
So strictly speaking,
Zheng Fan’s “empty tip bag” was actually a hindrance, causing confusion in the command system of these three towns at the beginning;< /p>
But these three young people,
relying on the premise that their prince (father) was holding them back to dig a hole,
relying on their own extremely strong talents With keenness, he actually forcibly opened up a new situation.
The prince cannot understand this kind of thing.
Because the prince learned to fight step by step, cautiously and fearfully, even for several years after he left the army, he did not dare to personally try to command the war, but let Liang Cheng command him willingly. mascot.
Those who like slow-cooking will look at the young men who cook the oil over a high flame. They will advise them to restrain themselves, but at the same time they will envy their vigor.
In the second half of the night,
Tiantian and Zheng Man did not meet,
but somehow, after they galloped toward each other for a certain distance,
p>
I made another decision almost tacitly,
Go east,
Turn around,
Since I can’t go west,
Then,
Go home and have a look!
......
Finally,
when the sun gradually rises;
Chen Xianba led more than 15,000 soldiers and horses under his command to complete the formation.
Zhong Tianlang, who was opposite, also stepped onto his handsome chariot, preparing for a battle between Yan and Qian. During the serious cavalry showdown,
suddenly received reports of sentinel cavalry from the southwest and northwest.
From those two directions, there were two Lu Yanjun suddenly appeared!
Zhong Tianlang only felt a little funny,
It was funny because he really embarrassed himself in the handsome tent yesterday,
Myself,
This is being peeled off by the other party.
Where is the slightest hint of so-called internal strife?
Yesterday, I sent out more than 10,000 horses but did not return;
At the same time, the two groups of soldiers and horses in the rear were already moving slowly, and were attacked by the Yan people. I was so "scared" that it was impossible to reach the designated location today.
Therefore, in a certain sense, Ganjun, who clearly had the advantage in strength, was forced out of a short window of "even strength" at this moment.
Zhong Tianlang did not feel that the sky was falling.
At the same time, he sent an order for the Chinese army to spread out two wings to guard against the two rear lines.
He ordered another branch to deploy Re-planning to stay in Menhai Town to be ready in case of the worst case scenario,
himself,
got off the handsome chariot, got on the horse, and raised the silver gun:
"Come, let's meet."
......
And Chen Xianba also observed the changes in the Qianjun military formation,
At this moment,
He did not even send a sentry to investigate, nor did he wait for messengers from other families to come over. Based on this change in the army, he could conclude that the battlefield pattern had happened. What a conversion.
In the entire Jiangdong, the Yan army only has these three or three troops, what else can it have?
It’s my two stupid brothers,
At the most appropriate time, they came back to kill them!
Previously it was twenty-five thousand versus forty thousand,
I already have the advantage!
Now, it is twenty-five thousand to thirty thousand,
Why are you hesitating?
Go for it!
Chen Xianba mounted the beast,
raised his horse,
moved his mount forward to the forefront of the military formation.
A similar scene happened in front of the other two groups of soldiers.
As if they had a clear understanding of each other,
Tiantian and Zheng Man also stood in front of the entire army with their horses straight.
It’s also strange.
The prince who hates rushing forward the most in battles in his life,
has cultivated a group of people who must take the lead in every tough battle. The heir to the young mantle.
After brewing with each other for a period of time,
In an instant,
the horses’ hooves were like thunder and their neighing was breaking through the dawn.
Yan Qian’s respective best Elite cavalry corps,
On this land,
the most hearty and most thorough fight has begun!
