The prisoners are all afraid of death. The Song army only needs to show a kind of "deterrence" in private, and those who dare not serve will die——
A secret, invisible ‘execution’.
This created an illusion for the surrendering soldiers. The Song army was using words to frame those who had "different ideas" and then focused their attacks on them. In this way, almost no one would dare not to serve "willingly".
As soon as the death-free card was raised, countless soldiers of the Prince's Army defected and disarmed. Except for a few who did not understand the current affairs, the number of people who had no choice but to join hands in this battle was no less than 5,000, and 10,000 of the Prince's Army died on the spot.
It’s just over two thousand.
"Inform the three generals that Guard Liu set up an ambush on the path and just captured the fleeing general Zhang Hu!"
Chen An and Zhang He were still happy about the victory. Zhang Fuyang, who was a little ashamed, also smiled when he saw the result. Suddenly, this sudden report was like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of the three of them.
.The three of them suddenly became excited and came back to their senses. They understood who was the protagonist of today’s victory?
That wasn't him, but Zhu Biao who didn't show his face.
Although they haven't even glanced at the battlefield, they are real chess players. They plan strategies and win decisively on the battlefield. The three of them, no, together with Liu Zhuo, are just chess pieces in people's hands.
"Zhu Shuai is really..."
"It's so unpredictable..."
Chen An and Zhang He, who were in high spirits, lowered their heads feebly like leaves beaten by frost.
"I, Mr. Zhang, am really convinced of Zhu Shuai. I am convinced from the bottom of my heart." Zhang Fuyang's face, which was white due to injuries, was full of high spirits.
It is really not easy to have a real famous general and coach in a war. Now that a great god is right in front of you, what else is there to be unhappy about?
Taking orders under such a person will not only bring you a lot of credit, but also your life will be guaranteed. But for ordinary generals, this is the most important thing.
"General Zhang, although the injury is superficial, don't be careless!" Zhu Biao was very enthusiastic about Zhang Fuyang. The battle to advance westward got off to a good start. Zhang Fuyang's camp did not have much credit, but the hard work was definitely there.
No matter what his purpose is, taking the first step against Chen An is an opportunity for Zhu Biao to get closer. In the credit book, Zhang Fuyang, Chen An, and Zhang He share the same credit. In private, a big bottle of gold
The original medicine arrived in Zhang Fuyang's hands. "In my early years, I traveled around the world for a few days and got one or two prescriptions. This medicine is most effective for wounds caused by swords and guns."
Zhang Fuyang had nine wounds all over his body, most of which were caused by being surrounded by soldiers of the Prince's Army after he fell from his horse. However, the soldiers' lethality was limited. The swords and guns fell on him after passing through the armor. They had exhausted their strength, and most of them were superficial wounds.
.
Zhang Fuyang didn't take gold-creating medicine seriously. It was too popular and too common. In the world, not to mention those who are wandering around the world, military attachés and generals, there is no gold-creating medicine? One or two out of ten are still afraid.
The 'ancestral secret recipe' passed down for centuries.
But this was Zhu Biao's "olive branch". Why didn't Zhang Fuyang, who was already convinced by Zhu Biao, hurry up and take over? He looked at Zhu Biao with a look of emotion. Unfortunately, he really didn't have any artistic skills, and his face was full of emotion.
The "squeezed" emotion made Zhu Biao's lips twitch for a moment.
At dusk, the newly reorganized Song Army, with a total strength of more than 37,000, arrived at the gate of Gaoming County. There were only 5,000 garrison troops in the city, and everyone was nervous and focused on raising their alertness.
The Song army did not attack the city, but they did not stop all night. The camps stationed around the city gate seemed to have been cutting down trees and building siege equipment all night long. People were looking forward to it, and the firelight was bright all night.
The county magistrate of Gaoming issued a "gathering" order to all the people in the city. He knew that the Song army's busy night would definitely result in fierce attacks from all sides in the coming days.
The returning army from Dong'an County is already close at hand. If the Song army outside the city does not capture Gaoming City within one day tomorrow, or even within one morning, sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses will be able to fight back to the imperial court.
"Tomorrow is the day of life and death for Song Ni. If they cannot defeat Gao Ming, the outcome they are waiting for is to be swept away by the incoming troops of our court. And if they can capture Gao Ming, they can use our county city as a barrier to block the imperial army.
A blow may not be impossible...
Therefore, life and death, glory and wealth, achievements in achievements, and fame in the divine capital will all depend on tomorrow’s battle——"
The very convincing words not only boosted the confidence of the officers, but also opened the eyes of ordinary soldiers and common people in Gaoming County.
One day, maybe even less than a day, the imperial army of 100,000 returning to Gaoming will attack Gaoming. Before that, if I can hold Gaoming County, what a solid achievement it will be...
The officers saw Zhang Hu, Du Tianhua, and even the battalion commanders, county magistrates, and county magistrates who had been vacated by the Song Army before. They saw the dozens of good positions now vacated in Dongcheng County, and civil and military officials took what they needed.
.How wonderful!
Following the county magistrate's speech, there was even more excitement in the tense atmosphere in Gaoming County.
Not to mention the Ming magistrate, the military officers looked towards the Song camp outside the city.
Indeed, everyone in the four camps was busy. This was by no means a deliberate illusion. Logs were dragged into the camp and ladder trucks were erected. It was completely real.
Chen An, Zhang Fuyang, Zhang He, and the three commanding officers were indeed in the military camp. However, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Zhu Biao, and his guard camp were missing. Taking a closer look, Chen An and the other three
The original Song Army troops that were deliberately retained in the camp head, with two units per battalion, without expansion, without sand, disappeared at this moment.
Fighting from Wei County to Dongcheng, and from Dongcheng to Dong'an. Zhu Biao took away all the thousands of carriages collected along the way when he led the main force to march westward.
It was by relying on these carriages that tonight, Zhu Biao, with the six troops transferred from the third battalion, and his own personal guard battalion, were able to go straight to the destination quickly.
The greater purpose of the movements and noises in the Song military camp outside the four gates of Gaoming County is to cover up the secret movements and actions of the Song army. Who knows if there are homing pigeons, kites and other birds in Gaoming County. If the news is leaked, I
But you have to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
At the military meeting in the evening, Zhu Biao pointed to the map hanging in the central military tent and said to Chen An and other three generals: "This is Dong'an, this is Gaoming, and this is Lingjiaotang. Our army wants to set up an ambush."
, right here." The whip in his hand hit the east end of Lingjiao Pond heavily.
"According to the news from the eyeliner, the camp of Pei Lun's army yesterday was in Xintian, Dong'an County. Judging from the speed at which Pei Lun returned to the army, the camp tonight after a day's march must be to the west of Lingjiao Pond. So.
, the army will arrive at Gaoming around dusk tomorrow."
No one objects to Zhu Biao's statement. It is the most basic quality of a general to judge the enemy's itinerary based on the enemy's marching speed, weather, path and environmental conditions. This is the most basic quality of a general. What Zhu Biao said is not bad at all.
"Look at it this way, Pei Lun's army will pass through Lingjiaotang tomorrow morning and continue to look towards Gaoming County. Our army must catch him by surprise. Otherwise, in a head-on confrontation, with our army's current combat power and morale, it will not be six or seven
The opponent of the imperial army with thousands of troops."
Along with Liu Zhuo, the four of them all looked at the water chestnut pond on the map. With mountains on one side and the water beside it, the unsuspecting imperial soldiers and horses would surely stretch into a long thin line.
As soon as our own army comes out...
"I wish you the best, Pei Lun is very cautious..."
"So what if we are cautious? Could he have thought that we would drive overnight to ambush the eastern section of Lingjiao Pond? According to common sense, this journey will take a day!"
It was a full **ten miles away. The Song army had already fought for a while during the day and traveled dozens of miles. How could it be possible to drive another **ten miles away at night? If Lingjiaotang was only twenty or thirty miles away from Gaoming County, Zhu Biao
Never look for trouble yourself.
At this distance, Pei Lun will definitely conduct careful reconnaissance and search. If the army ambush, they will definitely be discovered. But Lingjiao Pond is only ten miles away, just like a person who will get angry because he is worried about tomorrow, but he will never
Will be upset about next month's troubles.
This principle is all the same.
Lingjiao Lake is the largest lake between Dongcheng County and Dong'an County. It is where the peach water turns a corner. The terrain is rugged, and the peach water originating from the southern foot of Qishan Mountain was intercepted there, so it was born.
Lingjiao Lake is a water lake.
The path is on the south bank of Lingjiao Lake, a road along the lake, and further south is Xianghua Ridge.
Marching and fighting are inseparable from geography. Before sending troops, Zhu Biao asked the King of Song for the most detailed set of geographical maps of Dongcheng County. Over the past few days, after thinking about it every day and night, he had already mapped out all the topography and landforms of Dongcheng County.
Keep it in mind.
Now he faced the most direct threat from Pei Lun's returning army. How to deal with it? An ambush around Lingjiao Lake came into his sight inadvertently, and the more he thought about it, the more suitable the plan became.
In the middle of the night, the crescent moon was crescent, stars were dotted, and it was pitch black.
More than 10,000 Song troops entered Lingjiao Lake in more than 1,000 horse-drawn carriages, and torches illuminated the ditches and ridges on the south bank of Lingjiao Lake.
Zhu Biao wasted no time and immediately ordered the entire army to disperse among the hills and valleys along the coast for the night. He was strictly ordered not to light fires or make any loud noises. They were not to show any signs of leakage.
This is a trap, a trap waiting for Pei Lun to step into.
Although the strength of the Song army was limited, Pei Lun could not be killed in a single trap. However, it was still possible to stun the aggressive imperial army with a single blow.
As Zhu Biao had planned, Pei Lun led his troops and rushed all the way to Gaoming. When they arrived at the west end of Lingjiao Lake, it was already dark. Seeing that the path in this section was narrow and difficult to pass at night, he ordered the entire army to march west of Lingjiao Lake.
We camped for the night on the outskirts of the head and waited for dawn.
There was a crisis in Gaoming County. Zhang Hu and Du Tianhua went out to camp, but the news that the entire army was wiped out made Pei Lun angry and nervous. He was afraid that he would not be able to rescue him in time and Gaoming County would be captured by the Song army. In that case, Pei Lun was very angry and nervous.
The road leading to the east city was blocked by the Song army, and the situation became complicated.
At least the Song army, with Gaoming County in its control, stopped the returning reinforcements from sweeping away the enemy captives in one go.
This is definitely not what Pei Lun wants to see.
Only by staying smart can everything be fine. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
