Chapter 1310: Peoples hearts are turned into enemies!
The content of Su Dinglai's letter is very simple. It simply wants the right army to cooperate and no longer hold on to its position, but to let the Qi troops go south.
The current Right Army is in the Lincheng and Baixiang areas. If it goes further south, it may have to retreat directly to the vicinity of Shunde City.
The area near Shunde was the original bottom line of the Right Route Army.
Ling Su lowered his head slightly, considered it carefully, and then frowned: "I thought that while there was a gap in the north, General Su would take the opportunity to go north and seize the credit. Unexpectedly, the left army was not preparing to go north, but was preparing to provide support. We are here."
He looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you think?"
"Didn't I say that?"
Shen Yi looked at the letter in his hand and suddenly smiled: "If Su Ding can cut over, intercept some of Beiqi's men and eat them."
"Even if it means paying part of the price and having some opportunities to go north, I think it's worth it."
"At this time, troop strength and territory are actually less important. What's more important is morale."
Mr. Shen said in a deep voice: "Kill some of their manpower so that these Northern Qi border troops can't be arrogant!"
"General Ling, it seems that the two sides are in a stalemate now, but Northern Qi is already holding on for dear life. As long as we persist, maybe one day they will collapse."
Ling Su bowed slightly: "General, I have never doubted your vision, Mr. Shen. From the time when we fought against the Japanese army to now, Mr. Shen, you have never missed anything."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "I have done a lot of wrong things, but I am just lucky. I haven't made any serious or fatal mistakes so far."
Ling Su was silent for a while and asked: "Mr. Shen, is it true that Xue Wei will never leave Shanxi again and return to the frontal battlefield?"
Shen Yi turned back, looked at Ling Su, shook his head and said: "I have said, they are fighting very hard now, and they are doing well without asking for help. Now, we can only act as the vanguard army no longer exists, and we must end the frontal battlefield as soon as possible , to support the vanguard army."
Mr. Shen paused and continued: "But the troops we can rely on are not only Xue Wei's army, but also Zhou Huai's army. More than 30,000 people from the Southern Army were blocked in Cangzhou. They have already made great achievements, and Liu Mingyuan... "
Shen Yi looked at the map and said with a smile: "It will probably take a while before we can reach Tianjin Port."
Mr. Shen looked back at Ling Su and said with a smile: "In the past year or so, I have supplemented the frontline army with very few artillery pieces. Each of the three main lines has only added dozens of cannons, because I have added more artillery pieces from the firearms workshop. Most of the production capacity has been diverted to the production of another new type of cannon."
Ling Su had followed Shen Yi for a long time and was quite familiar with the overall layout of the Huai'an army. Hearing this, he immediately reacted and said, "Ship cannon?"
"Um."
Shen Yi squinted his eyes and said softly: "Only some particularly large cities in Northern Qi have such heavy artillery. There are no artillery in other places. Even if the Tianjin Sanwei at Tianjin Port has artillery, there will not be too many, not too many." Very good.”
"Liu Mingyuan has deployed hundreds of my artillery pieces on hundreds of warships."
Shen Yi said quietly: "Once he arrives at Tianjin Port, even if he only stays at sea without landing, he will immediately cause huge trouble to the people of Qi."
"It's hard to say whether my navy can attack the city and seize territory, but it will definitely make everyone in Yandu, Yanjiao, and their capital region panic."
Ling Su's eyes lit up and he understood.
"This is why Mr. Shen said that the defeat of Qi people might happen overnight..."
"Just part of it."
Mr. Shen became serious and said: "I agree with Su Ding's encirclement method. General Ling will go down and make arrangements. Remember to communicate with the left army when making arrangements."
"Don't fight on your own."
Ling Su bowed his head respectfully and clasped his fists: "General, I will obey your order!"
Shen Yi stretched out, yawned and said, "I'm very tired after coming all the way from Shanxi. I need a good sleep. I won't participate in your military formation arrangement. I'll take a nap first." When you retreat, come back and call me."
Ling Su bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. Even if you retreat, you have to fight them before retreating. Otherwise, it will not be true and it will be easy for these Qi people to doubt you."
"You can sleep peacefully, we won't be able to leave south until at least tomorrow."
Shen Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Ling Zhan, give me a gift for the general."
Ling Zhan blushed, nodded quickly, and sent Ling Su out of the Chinese army's tent. When he reached the door of the tent, he bowed and said, "Father."
Ling Su said "hmm" and after being silent for a while, asked: "Did anything go wrong during this period?"
"No, my son does his best in everything he does."
After Ling Zhan paused, he added: "I won't cause you any trouble."
Ling Su's expression was stagnant. He just cared about his son and had no other meaning. Seeing his eldest son thinking too much, he wanted to explain a few words, but due to his personality, he had always been serious and didn't know how to speak, so He said "Yeah" and reached out to pat his son on the shoulder.
"Do your job well."
After that, General Ling left silently with his hands behind his back.
Ling Zhan bowed his head to his father.
"Son, I obey."
…………
The next day, the Right Army began to take the initiative to fight. After a whole day of fierce fighting with Nuo Yong, in the evening, the Right Army, which had suffered a small loss, gave up setting up camp and began to retreat as a whole.
Nuo Yong personally led the troops and pursued them all the way. On the next morning, they reached the vicinity of Lincheng. He called the scouts and asked in a loud voice: "How far south did Ling Su and the others retreat?"
The scout knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Back to the general, the southerners were beaten so hard by the general yesterday that they ran away like rats. Now they are sixty miles away from Lincheng!"
Nuo Yong was riding on the horse, frowning and thinking for a while, then Chen Sheng heard: "What is the situation in Su Ding? Is there anything unusual?"
"Not yet."
The scout lowered his head and said: "At this time, half of the troops of the Southern Conquest Army have arrived in Cangzhou to defend the partial divisions of the Huai'an Army. Hejian Prefecture does not have many troops and only defends but does not attack. Su Ding of the Huai'an Army has been waiting and watching, ready to make a move."
"According to the scout's report, it is estimated that a fight may begin soon."
When mentioning the Conquest of the South Army, Nuo Yong showed a ferocious expression on his face and gritted his teeth and said: "This week, the father and son of the Zhou family are ambitious, but they are only diverting troops along the way. They have sent almost half of their troops!"
"It's clear that he is unwilling to contribute on the frontal battlefield!"
"However, I don't expect them to accomplish anything. As long as they can help me hold back the Huai'an Army's left army, they will be considered successful!"
After saying this, Nuo waved his hands bravely.
"Explore again and report again, keep an eye on the movements of the Huai'an Army's left army!"
"Give me the order to camp where you are and rest!"
The Qi army camped near Lincheng. Soon, most of the day passed, and another scout hurriedly came to report.
"General, the Huai'an Army's Left Army has begun to attack Hejian Mansion!"
"The offensive is extremely fierce!"
Nuo Yong stood up almost immediately and said in a deep voice: "Is the news true?"
"The spies saw with their own eyes that Su Ding himself was commanding the battle in Hejian. There is no mistake!"
"good!"
General Nuo shouted good, and then laughed heartily: "Order your troops, order your troops, continue southward, pursue these southern thieves, drive them to the edge of the Huaihe River in one go, and drive them back to the south of the Huaihe River!"
Now, the pressure on Yandu is too great.
Documents are delivered to Nuo Yong every day. Even General Nuo, who is very calm, is a little impatient at this time.
He now urgently needs a big victory, or needs to regain some of the lost territory.
If the right army of the Huai'an Army can be forced all the way to the Huaihe River, or even forced back into Shandong and spread to Yandu, it will be inspiring.
Therefore, he could not remain angry.
On this day, General Nuo personally commanded tens of thousands of elite troops and marched south to attack Ling Su's troops.
At almost the same time, the war in Hejian was in full swing. Su Ding personally sat on the battlefield in Hejian. Looking at the rumbling artillery fire on the city wall in Hejian, General Su waved his hand to a general and asked: "Zhong Ming.
Where have you been?"
The ginseng general lowered his head slightly and bowed his body.
"General, General Zhong..."
"We are slowly approaching the reserved location."
"Um…"
Su Ding nodded, looked at the river battlefield in front of him, and suddenly smiled.
"This river doesn't seem to be that difficult to fight. Maybe we can fight on both sides together."
He narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Both sides will win together."
The general was startled for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "General, are you going to deliver the order right now?"
Su Ding thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Wait a minute, since they are doing big things over there, here we..."
