When the army led by Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Dingzhou in the afternoon, Cao Bianjiao and others had already arrived to greet him, but their faces were a little weird. When they saw Lu Xiangsheng, they said like this: Governor, the final general did not kill Tarzi."
"Huh, what's going on?" Lu Xiangsheng asked strangely.
"Because the final general just rushed to Dingzhou City, Tanzi has already ran away!" Cao Bianjiao said, and after some explanation, Lu Xiangsheng understood that Gao Yang and Dingzhou are too close after all, so Gao Yang The news of the complete destruction of the Qing army was still leaked, and then seeing the situation in the Dingzhou group was not good, they had already taken the initiative to withdraw.
Of course, because Cao Bianjiao and the others were all fine riders attacking, they were very fast, so the tail was bitten when they evacuated, and they fought a small battle and ate dozens of them.
However, despite this, the Ming army used to see Danzi retreat, but now it is upside down. After Danzi saw them, he didn't even have the desire to fight, so he retreated quickly. This change still made Cao Bianjiao wait. People feel weird.
But when he heard that this was the case, Lu Xiangsheng was very happy. Although he could not completely wipe out the Tartars, the battle was of great significance, including the other generals who arrived. They were all refreshed after knowing this. … There is something called self-confidence in your body!
Because this can be regarded as a turning point! The psychological disadvantage of Tarzi in the past is gone forever! Gone are the history that a few Tarts can chase hundreds of Ming soldiers! Starting today, this psychological advantage has been reversed! And this is crucial!
And not long after, as the siege of Dingzhou was lifted, the people of Dingzhou were happy, and sent people to send pigs and sheep and other comfort products. After all, this is also very obvious. If Lu Xiangsheng and the others do not come to rescue, Dingzhou will be breached within a few days, but now, it has been secured.
And when he saw someone asking for labor, Lu Xiangsheng gladly accepted it... This is the heart of the people in Dingzhou!
Then there is no need to say any more. Now that the whereabouts of the army have been exposed, the whole army will continue to move forward, looking for the main force of Tarzi for a decisive battle!
And now many generals are full of confidence. Now that the reinforcements of the three towns of Xuanda and the reinforcements of Guanning, there are a total of 50,000 people, such a powerful force, even the South Road Army of Tarzi. They are all gathered together, and they all dare to fight! Not to mention the fact that in the early stages they were all in the realm of no one, so they were already separated, and it was impossible to gather together in seven or eight days.
So next, after resting for a long time in Dingzhou, the army set off immediately, and sent out many nights to investigate the enemy's situation and obtain intelligence in various states and counties.
I have to say that among them, the Xuanjia Army has made great contributions. One day later, the special battalion to which the Xuanjia Army belongs has sent back information and discovered the latest trend of Tarzi...
That is, now that Tanzi has learned about the defeat of Gaoyang City. After the Ming army came fiercely, it has begun to gather its troops and turn it into a whole. Among the South Road army who entered the customs this time, except for the other slave chief Abba Tai, the two armies led by them are too far apart, and the rest have been quickly gathered together, under the command of General Dorgon, led by the President of the South Tarzi Army Army (temporary title for this entry) , In Hengshui, a Qing army of 25,000 formed a confrontation with the Ming army.
That is to say, if you want to launch an attack on them, you will no longer face thousands of scattered Tartars, but a whole army of 25,000 people, and the strength is also not to be underestimated.
After receiving this latest information, Lu Xiangsheng gathered the generals in the Chinese army's large account and called the generals to discuss matters. After the generals were all there, Lu Xiangsheng did not talk nonsense and hung up the latest map to inform the Qing army. After the move, I asked: "Generals, what do you think about the new changes in the enemy's situation?"
Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's question, Wang Yanchen, the former army chief, just got up and said: "Supervisor, the final general thinks that now our army is superior in strength, it can be crushed upright and beat him up."
Generally speaking, generals like Wang Yanchen don’t read much and don’t know a few big characters, so they don’t have any good strategies. However, they still have a very clear judgment on the strength of both sides. According to his ideas, since our army is now If the strength is superior, then look for the enemy in a decisive battle and win the battle!
Most of the other generals also agreed, but Yang Shanlu frowned slightly and had different views on this.
After all, this is also very obvious. Although the number of officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty is dominant, if you really want to compete head-to-head with more than 20,000 Tartars, even if you can win, it will be a tragic victory.
After all, the fact is that although the Qing army has a small number of people, his individual combat strength is still significantly stronger than that of the Ming officer army. Even if it is an elite professional soldier like this, it can generally reach two for three. Up to four such ratios, so if you calculate this way, the difference between the strengths of the two sides is not big, and the loss will be great if you fight hard.
In this case, are there any tricks
As a veteran of the Iron Blood Forum, Yang Shanlu has recalled in his mind the famous battle cases he has seen in the forum, and he has looked at the map near Hengshui, because Dorgon is the Qing army, and it is slowly moving. Abate is the trend of the Qing army coming closer, so can you write something about it
Including this time, when he saw Sun Chengzong, the new superintendent, was also carefully checking the map near Hengshui. There were many mountains near Hengshui, and Sun Chengzong's eyes were not far from those places, and he looked thoughtful. Yang Shanlu was moved in his heart. I don't know if this famous three-dynasty emperor had thought of it with him.
At this time, Yang Shanlu already had a very good idea, so he got up and said, "Prince to the superintendent, the final general feels that our army can indeed compete with Tarzi, but it can be done at a suitable location. Put it here." Said Yang Shanlu's finger had already been placed near Hengshui, a place called Luanshishan, which was also on the only way for the Qing army.
Hearing Yang Shanlu mentioned the Rocky Mountain, Sun Chengzong’s snow-white birthday eyebrows moved. Sun Chengzong was also very knowledgeable. After reading the map, he felt that it was a good place for ambushes, but there were still some of them. I didn't think through the joints.
At this time, the former army guard Wang Yanchen also said: "Hehe, General Yang originally had the idea of Chaotic Mountain. If it can be done, of course it will be great, but it is impossible to ambush the Qing army here!"
"Everyone knows that the Qing army’s sentinels are very strong, and they will definitely be strict in detecting such dangerous places. Therefore, if our army ambushes close, they will definitely be discovered by them. If the ambush is too far, they will not be able to detect it. To grasp the movement of the Qing army, when our army arrived, Tarzi had already passed through the rocky mountains, so it was also useless."
After Wang Yanchen finished speaking, the other generals nodded their heads. As the battlefield veterans, of course they all realized that the Rocky Mountain is a good place to ambush. If they can achieve their goals, they can definitely do more with less. do not recognize! But the strong sentinel force of the Qing army made this vision impossible to complete.
On the contrary, Sun Chengzong looked at him with a lot of fun. The town general who has made outstanding achievements, since he dared to propose, there should be a solution, right
As for Yang Shanlu, in the face of everyone’s doubts, he was fully aware of it. He just said calmly: "You heads, generals, everyone’s concerns are indeed justified, but the younger brother happens to have a vision that can be perfected. To solve this problem."
Talking about Yang Shanlu is a mysterious smile: "Hehe, as a big city, Dingzhou should not lack pigeons, and as long as there are pigeons, this problem can be solved."
Pigeons are naturally there. History has developed to the end of the Ming Dynasty. Capitalism has sprouted and commerce has developed. Pigeons have always been favored by high-ranking officials and nobles as a tonic. Therefore, there have been many breeding by the people, but this is not the same as the ambush. What does it matter if the army, or precisely grasping the time of the attack, is stuck in the attack after Tarzi has completely entered the valley
But at this time, Sun Chengzong, the emperor of the Three Dynasties, suddenly showed a surprise in his eyes... After taking a surprised look at Yang Shanlu, he already exclaimed: "A good strategy! It really is a good strategy! And so," The above problems can be solved perfectly. By the way, General Yang, do you still need a closed mud box for this strategy!"
"That's right, that's right—" Yang Shanlu knew that Sun Chengzong had fully understood his thoughts after hearing what he said. After looking at each other, they laughed loudly.
This strategy is what Yang Shanlu saw in the forums of later generations. It is based on a famous battle case of a treacherous hero, Li Yuanhao, the lord of Xixia six hundred years ago-the battle of Haoshuichuan. The Song army lost its troops, thus establishing the three-part structure of Song, Liao, and Xia, but now, Yang Shanlu is going to be used to deal with Tanzi.
Of course, Yang Shanlu admired Sun Chengzong very much. He was worthy of being the emperor of the Three Dynasties. He only knew about it after being on the forum for a long time. But Sun Chengzong was well-versed in the past.
On the contrary, Wang Yanchen and others couldn’t understand what they were talking about. They scratched their heads in a hurry. Among them, Wang Yanchen even walked up to Yang Shanlu and said anxiously: "Oh, brother Yang, you don’t want it. Let us listen to it!"
"Yes." At this time, Sun Chengzong said with a smile. He has fully understood Yang Shanlu's thoughts and thought it was very wonderful, so he patiently said it to all the generals and promoted it for Yang Shanlu.
And after all the generals present had listened to it and figured it out, they were all convincing, and they shouted hello!
Even Wang Yanchen walked directly in front of Yang Shanlu, looked at him up and down, and said, "Brother, I am convinced. You are fighting fiercely, and your brains are even more fierce! Those darts who meet you are considered dead for eight lifetimes. It's moldy!"
"Haha!" All the generals on the field laughed loudly when they heard it. If this is the case, it is to dispatch troops to dispatch generals, and the preparations will begin immediately!
It can even be said that the so-called Zhou Lang's wonderful plan to secure the world, with such a wonderful plan, the next large-scale battle of more than 10,000 people between the Ming and Qing Dynasties will be launched in the rocky mountains! And the future of the Ming army is also bright! (End of this chapter)
