Chapter 1161 Hu Luguang’s back-up plan, Deng Qiang’s attack on Hutou Mountain
And Zhang Kui's move really frightened Bu Fei.
If this person suddenly escaped in front of him, with his strength, he probably wouldn't be a single-shot enemy.
After this experience, the cautious Bu Fei gave full play to his steady character. He was surrounded by shields, and the shields were connected with iron ropes.
This was even the case around the tent where he slept.
But Bu Fei didn't know that Zhang Kui wanted to use the Earth Movement technique and killed him with one knife, but Zhang Kui really didn't have the ability to do this.
There are over ten thousand people, boundless, and his military formation of tens of thousands, how far should this distance be?
Although Zhang Kui's ground walking technique allows him to escape in this relatively soft soil environment, the distance is very limited. Moreover, although it can hide underground, it cannot stay there for a long time.
Underground, you have to come out for air every short period of time!
The fourth camp in Wangcheng is the most frontal camp. This is the camp that Meng Gong personally guards. It is also the camp with the least damage but the most casualties among the four outer camps today.
"What kind of battle is this? I'm here to erect a fence and build a building to defend. Is it possible that we can defeat the enemy's defense..." Zhang Sanjia muttered with a straw stick in his mouth.
What are you wearing?
"Zhang Sanjia, what are you complaining about again?"
The sudden deep voice in his ears made Zhang Sanjia startled. He turned to look at Meng Gong who was coming with a sword. He immediately stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile, "How dare I complain? I'm just a little confused."
It can be seen that the relationship between Zhang Sanjia and Meng Gong should be good. Zhang Sanjia pointed directly at Cangying in the north and said: "The enemy is close at hand, and the enemy's camp does not seem to be a dangerous place. I, Han Rui,
Soldiers, just rush over and attack the camp. Why are you confronting the enemy here? The Cang soldiers on the opposite side are weak. General Zhang can easily attack in and out today. The enemy troops are not worthy of justice..."
Zhang Sanjia, his implanted identity is Zhang Liao's younger brother.
Today, Zhang Liao has made his own name. When Zhang Liao was still in the Zhendong Army, he was already fighting against Beidi, with hundreds of cavalry rushing into the camp.
In the process of attacking Shanyang Road, it was he who realized the important strategic plan of North Suo Zhongxing. The Han Dynasty, which had not yet been established at that time, could take the strategic initiative when facing Shanyin.
status.
After that, Zhang Liao took the lead and assumed the important responsibility of guarding the Bank of China camp.
His younger brother, an idle general, naturally wanted to give him some face.
At this time, Zhang Sanjia can only be described as young and vigorous. He could have been transferred from various armies or directly recruited into the Han Forbidden Army like Huang Tianjue, Yang Shihan, Xue Dingshan, Guan Ping, Guan Ling and others.
However, he did not enter the Han Dynasty Forbidden Army system, but took the initiative to join the Huben Army.
In his opinion, the Tiger and Ben troops, as the main force in the field, have more opportunities to fight than the Imperial Guards whose main responsibility is to guard the imperial city.
Not to mention, the leader of the Huben Army, especially their number one general Han Xin and Han Zhongyan, will naturally have no shortage of opportunities to fight.
Zhang Sanjia naturally had the intention of making great achievements in his choice.
Meng Gong glanced at the boy and said with a straight face: "If I give you Zhang Junhou five thousand soldiers and horses, can you crush the enemy army on the opposite side?"
Hearing this, Zhang Sanjia suddenly showed a thoughtful expression on his face. After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Maybe you can give it a try!"
Seeing Zhang Sanjia's expression, Meng Gong was happy, and laughed and cursed: "I am just a mere general now, but I have been appreciated by General Hu Lu and led three thousand soldiers and horses directly under me to station in this camp. I am temporarily in charge of General Zhang Kui."
With two thousand Qingqi under my command, you still have to endure!"
Five thousand people wanted to defeat an army of tens of thousands. Even he, Meng Gong, did not dare to think so, and even Hu Luguang did not have such naive thoughts.
However, Meng Gong just thought Zhang Sanjia's words were a joke.
At this time, Zhang Sanjia was only sixty-six percent out of ten, and he was at his most youthful and vigorous. Meng Gong, for example, at this age, didn't he have high aspirations and thought he could conquer everything?
I, a big man, should have such ambition!
And Zhang Sanjia also smiled: "When your subordinates become partial generals, you will definitely be ranked as a general. At the worst, you can also be the leader of an army."
"You are confident!" Giving Zhang Sanjia a look, Meng Gong's face returned to solemnity and said: "I know you Zhang Sanjia are like a young tiger, but you must not underestimate the enemy on the opposite side. When facing the enemy in battle, arrogant soldiers are
It's a taboo.
You only saw General Zhang Kui rushing in and out easily today, but you never thought that it might be Bu Fei's trick to deliberately show weakness and lure us to attack his camp. Also, on this plain, the camp is our most vulnerable.
Reliable defense means that the enemy cavalry does not have many cavalry this time. If the fence cannot even be firmly established, how can we defeat the enemy with a united army..."
Among the generals in the world who are good at defense, at least eight or nine out of ten generals can talk about their ability to set up camps.
If you can't even set up a camp, how can you prepare for the next defensive battle?
This point can be said to be the foundation among the foundations.
Among the most famous generals in the world who are good at defense, I am afraid that the king of Chu, Mu Feng, must be the first. He may not be a victorious and undefeated general in his life, but at least he has never suffered a loss in a defensive battle, let alone a defeat.
.
His ability to set up camp with his hands can be said to be superb!
Although setting up camp is the most basic skill for a general, the more basic it is, the easier it is to be invulnerable.
As for Meng Gong, he is not bad at setting up camp.
This time, time was short and there were not enough raw materials. Otherwise, the camp would not have been so crude.
However, this camp may be simple, but its layout is well organized, and each camp is interdependent on each other.
Meng Gong was mentioning something to Zhang Sanjia, and Zhang Sanjia also listened carefully, thought about it, put away his arrogance, and saluted Meng Gong respectfully: "Thank you, general, for your teaching!
"
With a "cowardly" look on his face, Meng Gong pointed to the Liao camp opposite and chuckled: "Now you, Zhang Sanjia, are impatient. Don't let me move your legs when the actual battle begins!"
While looking at the city, Hu Luguang was still observing the map quietly, no matter whether he could figure out the reason or not, his expression was always calm and calm.
In the room, in addition to the main general Hu Luguang, Su Li was also there.
"Bu Fei's defeat has been decided!" Looking at Hu Luguang whose head was almost buried in the map, Su Li said suddenly, his tone was extremely sure.
Today's battle was fierce, but since they had judged that Bu Fei had indeed gone out in full force, there were definitely not many people left in Hutou Mountain at this time.
And their goal in this battle is to capture Hutou Mountain. Taking Hutou Mountain is their victory. As for Bu Fei, he lost Hutou Mountain that he was supposed to be stationed at. Naturally, it can be said that
It was a defeat.
Hu Lu's bald head didn't even raise his head, and he said casually: "The more critical moments we get, the less we can relax!"
"Now, I can only hope that everything goes well with Deng Qiang!"
Hu Luguang naturally understands the truth that walking a hundred steps leads to ninety steps. The time to relax will never come until the last moment. The news that they have captured Hutou Mountain has not been transmitted for a moment, so their battle will be over.
Not yet a victory.
…………
Henan, Tongcheng.
Not only does it form a horn with Hutou Mountain, it is the backing of Hutou Mountain, but it is also an important place for the storage and transfer of supplies required by the Cang Army in Hutou Mountain. All supplies in Hutou Mountain are transported from here.
Come.
Early in the morning, before the morning fog had cleared, a baggage team consisting of hundreds of carts, escorted by a battalion of Cang troops, slowly headed north. Among them, thousands of people were driving the carts.
Yu Qiang recruited local strong men.
Tianqi's food transportation actually basically relies on troop carriers.
However, the premise is that the track of the personnel carrier can pass through.
If the track of the personnel carrier cannot pass through, it will naturally rely on the personnel carrier to transport it to the nearest place, and continue to rely on human transportation for the rest of the journey.
Unfortunately, there is no track for troop carriers from Tongcheng to Hutou Mountain.
Previously, the northern gateway of Henan Road was Weiguan, and the route of troop transport vehicles through the city also went directly to Weiguan.
As for Hutou Mountain, it was previously a place where dignitaries visited, so of course it was impossible to build a road for troop transport vehicles.
Besides, which dignitary and scholar would ride in a troop carrier when traveling? Not only is it not as comfortable as a horse-drawn carriage, but what's the point of traveling in a dark troop carrier?
After the loss of Weiguan, although Hutou Mountain changed from a tourist place to a strategic location, King Jing still did not build an additional troop transport route.
Naturally, he wanted to take Wei Pass back if he had a chance. Hutoushan was just a temporary expedient. With Weiguan, Henan could truly be guaranteed to be the gateway to the north.
Therefore, transporting all supplies from Tongcheng to Hutoushan still relied on manpower and horse-drawn carriages.
Fortunately, the two places are only a few dozen miles apart, so it won't be a waste of time and money.
The transportation this time was not smooth. They were attacked before they even got close to the Hutoushan Mountains. A Han army suddenly appeared from the side and charged towards them. The leading general looked very fierce.
The strong men were immediately confused in such a formation, and soon, a battalion of Cang troops was completely wiped out.
The battle ended quickly, and the scene quickly calmed down. The Han army obviously didn't care about this batch of military supplies, and just let the hundreds of carts of military supplies lie there quietly, while they groped for their blood-spattered
The corpses of a battalion of Cang Army soldiers.
The general leading the army was naturally Deng Qiang.
When he followed Hu Luguang to guard the pass, he was Hu Luguang's deputy general.
Now, he is also serving as Hu Luguang's deputy general in the vanguard army of the Southern Expedition.
At that time, he was also the main general in the Battle of Tianjing. He had fought in various places in Henan Province and had been stationed at Weiguan for many years. He was also familiar with the surrounding terrain.
And cooperating with him were the three thousand soldiers and horses of the Black Cavalry.
It is precisely because of the cooperation of these three thousand black cavalry that the surrounding area is completely sealed off. Therefore, from top to bottom, there is no one in this grain transport team, whether they are regular soldiers of the Cang Army or those drafted strong men.
Everyone got out alive, but they all fell here.
Although these strong men are innocent, war is always cruel. Who got them involved in this war?
The Han Forbidden Army, currently nominally based on the original Hebei Daofu County, has reorganized 100,000 people to form the current Han Forbidden Army.
But in fact, there are 100,000 forbidden troops, but the real number is nearly 130,000.
The remaining nearly 30,000 people are the black cavalry, tiger guards, trapped camp... elite army.
After Xue Rengui became the commander-in-chief of one of the five field armies, he had already resigned from the position of commander-in-chief of the black cavalry. Later, Yue Fei temporarily took over the position of commander-in-chief of the black cavalry, but within a few days, he became the imperial guard.
After becoming the leading general, he also stepped down as the temporary acting commander of the Black Cavalry.
The Black Cavalry nominally belongs to the Forbidden Army, but it is not included in the establishment of the Forbidden Army. It can be said to be the second Forbidden Army.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Yue Fei's loyalty, but of course it's impossible for Wang Yu to hand over all the military power of the two Han imperial armies to one person. This is a way to bring disaster.
Therefore, Yue Fei actually became the leading general of the Han Dynasty Forbidden Army. Then, he must step down from the position of commander of the Black Cavalry. Even if this position of commander is not official in the first place, but temporary, he must step down.
Come down.
After Yue Fei, the next Black Cavalry President became Ye Jiyang.
Although Ye Jiyang is a simple fierce general and has no ability to lead troops. However, with his qualifications and prestige in the Black Cavalry, no matter what, it is his turn.
Xue Rengui had already joined the team once, and then Yue Fei almost joined the team once again. It was impossible for Wang Yu to find someone to join the team for the third time. Moreover, someone from outside the Black Cavalry parachuted in to join the team!
After all, within the Black Cavalry, after famous generals like Zhang Liao were transferred out, the others were not as good as Ye Jiyang!
After all, the Black Cavalry was not only the strongest elite of the original Zhendong Army when it existed, but also the training base for officers when the original Zhendong Army existed. The Yanbei Wang family trained loyal officers one after another through the Black Cavalry, achieving the goal of
Complete control of the 300,000 Zhendong Army.
These three thousand black knights were part of Wang Yu's support for Hu Luguang's action.
It was also one of Hu Luguang's hidden backhands. It was one of the reasons why he dared to lure Bu Fei's troops out and wanted to confront Bu Fei's 80,000 troops head-on with 30,000 troops.
Riding on his horse, holding the reins, and sweeping the mess everywhere, Deng Qiang ordered: "Be more agile in your movements..."
