On the simple sand table, Dongcheng, which originally had a green flag, was smashed by Zhu Biao with one finger. The planning over the past few days was not in vain. Dongcheng County was captured by himself. He also gathered 7,000 surrendered troops and Wu Boniu's troops.
In the blink of an eye, it expanded to 15,000 soldiers.
However, the gourd was pressed down and the gourd was lifted up. Dongcheng was tidied up, and another change occurred in Yijing and Shuikou counties. It was time for the news of Pei Lun's conferment of the head to be spread back to the capital. In Quanzhou, south of Kaizhou, the governor Fu Yiyang
More than 50,000 soldiers came to kill him.
Needless to say, the two counties of Yijing and Shuikou have three to four thousand troops, which makes up the whole state army to a round number of 60,000. Xinhua is about to attack the city.
Zhu Biao is in a difficult situation. He must protect Xinhua City, otherwise the connection between his army's Dongcheng Department and Dong'an Department will be severed. But, what can he do to protect Xinhua?
Will Donglang Pass be given over to Ningshan and Dingshan counties?
Move Wu Boniu's department in Dongcheng to Xinhua?
At the same time, we need to strengthen Gaoming's defense, or move the tens of thousands of princely troops who have not surrendered in Gaoming County to other places?
There is no foolproof strategy at all, just defend one place and defend everywhere. From Dongcheng to Gaoming and then to Xinhua, if any of the three points along the way is missed, the connection between Zhu Biao's east and west divisions will be severed.
However, with Gaoming's 40,000 to 50,000 prisoners in his hands, how could Zhu Biao have the energy to guard the three counties of Dongcheng, Gaoming, and Xinhua in a tight manner?
"Defending? It's a dead end!" Before he can suffocate the 50,000 to 60,000 princely troops in Jinniu Pass, he will be finished first.
Zhu Biaoren was in pain and wanted to smash the sand table in front of him into powder with a slap. Going over the mountains from Guangchang to Dongcheng was really a dead end! Because the enemies he had to face here were not just Pei
Lunbubu, as well as Sizhou to the east of Kaizhou, Quanzhou to the south, and Jiazhou to the west, all the troops that might be able to break out halfway.
The one in Wugang County, and now the other one in Fu Yiyang, the only one missing is the one in Jiazhou.
And if he is really more powerful and dispatches both Sizhou and Quanzhou armies, the Jiazhou army will definitely be on stage next time.
"Send the order to Lu Tong, withdraw! The entire army withdraws to Dongcheng. Then tell Dong Qiaosheng that as much stuff from Wei County as can be transported into Dongcheng, and the rest, give me a fire to burn. Hurry!"
"Order Zhang Fuyang to escort all the prisoners to Donglang Pass. Bring all the food and supplies!"
"There is also Dongcheng. Wu Boniu is asked to transport grain, grass and military supplies to Donglang Pass as much as possible in these three days." Anyway, the materials in Dongcheng are not damaged at all, and there is plenty of grain, grass and military supplies.
"Is Commander Zhu going to guard Dongning on one side and Donglangguan on the other?"
After Liu Zhuo heard Zhu Biao's military order, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. You must know that since the Dongcheng point was pulled out, the entire Dongcheng County was in Zhu Biao's hands. Now, he was so decisive in throwing away everything?
"If you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land; if you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land. You should understand this truth. Our army is not strong enough, so we can only do this.
After all, Dongcheng is a county town, and there are so many military supplies. As long as it is properly guarded, even if the two armies from Sizhou and Quanzhou join forces, they will not be able to take it.
Donglang Pass is extremely strong, and there are no trails leading to the cliffs on both sides. As long as there are enough troops and supplies to guard the pass, not to mention Fu Yiyang's 60,000 troops, but 600,000 troops, what can be done to me in a short time?"
Zhu Biao let go of his tense body and lay down softly on the big chair. "This battle will be a waste in the end. Let's see who can outlast the other between us and Jinniu——"
The worst plan in his mind is to use the 40,000 to 50,000 prisoners in his hands to redeem the soldiers and horses in Dongcheng. As long as the prince's army in Jinniu Pass cannot hold on any longer, and all three passes fall into the hands of the Song army, the troops in Kaizhou will
The south gate was sealed, and Zhu Biao completed his ultimate goal of crossing Mount Qian.
At that time, what if all the territory south of Donglang Pass belonged to the Prince's Army? Anyway, the Song Dynasty King had no intention of taking Dongcheng and Xinhua, Yijing, and Shuikou counties.
At this time, Zhu Biao had no idea that the 200,000 Jin troops to the north had surrounded Yongxing several times. Even Liu Zhuo, who had been spreading news back to Kaizhou, knew very little about the situation on that side.
But it was Ji Kang's fear that he would be defeated here that made Zhu Biao lose confidence and leave. Although he had no hope of saving the overall situation, he still hoped that Zhu Biao could put a big satellite on the southern battlefield.
It would also allow him to save some face in front of the world in the future.
Therefore, if Zhu Biao's idea of slowly wasting his life was known to the King of Song, the face that would definitely make him angry would not be his face, and his nose would not be his nose.
"Drive by drive..."
On the way north from Quanzhou, Fu Yiyang walked slowly on horseback. He was surrounded by an army of more than 50,000 men in front of him, behind him, and on his left and right.
As a civil servant, Fu Yiyang doesn't like fighting, he doesn't like riding horses, and he doesn't know how to fight. However, the situation in Dong'an is critical. Pei Lun's 200,000-strong army was defeated by 30,000 Song troops who came over the mountains and fell into a desperate situation.
, suffered heavy losses, and was even sent to the border by the owl. Fu Yiyang could not wait for the generals sent by the imperial court to Quanzhou. By the time the generals sent by the imperial court arrived in Quanzhou, the remaining Pei Lun troops in Dong'an County had already been wiped out.
The troops of the princes in the north led their troops and pressed forward.
As the governor of a state in the Zhou Dynasty and a first-level or even top-level figure in the bureaucracy, Fu Yiyang, like Pei Lun, was full of ridicule at the beginning when the Tang Dynasty king 'invited' Han generals to Kaizhou to help the Song Dynasty king. But Pei Lun's end
This shows that the king of Tang Dynasty was definitely not being mysterious or aimless. The young Northern Han Dynasty general he invited was genuine.
After learning the details of Pei Lun's defeat, Fu Yiyang changed his attitude towards Zhu Biao. He was cautious to the point of being cautious. While Zhu Biao was busy arranging the placement of prisoners and other matters, 50,000 people from all over the state came to him.
The large army first merged with the three to four thousand troops who were frightened by the accident and hurriedly evacuated from Yijing and Shuikou counties. Then the scouts spread out over a wide area of more than 20 miles and advanced towards Xinhua step by step.
He was afraid that if he acted rashly, he would be ambushed by the Song army.
The guards of the governor's office and the gold-medal catchers recruited from the six gates guarded the Chinese army's tent.
Pei Lun Gaoming was defeated. Where did he lose? Wasn't he defeated by Zhu Biao's unparalleled bravery? Fu Yiyang didn't know much about the levels of masters, so his method was to gather as many masters as possible around him. This was also easy to prevent.
Sudden assassination is not!
But who knew that Zhu Biao's war philosophy was very traditional and formal, and he was also cautious. He never thought about entering the enemy camp alone and beheading the enemy chieftain with his sword. Even the time when Mahamao met was just a coincidence, and he knew very well that the Central Plains was like this.
No matter how deep the muddy water is, Zhu Biao still has a very urgent sense of threat.
If the man from the capital city sends one or two master-level figures to deal with him, it is really possible for him to be dealt with.
"Report..."
The cry of the detective cavalry came from far away, and the flying horse ran to Fu Yiyang and said: "I'd like to inform you, there are no Song rebels guarding Yijing County. According to the county magistrate, the Song army only had a cavalry team that rushed to the city the day before yesterday.
I'm just inquiring, but I haven't entered the city yet."
"Oh? How strange? First it was Shuikou, and this was Yijing. Why did they all abandon the defense? Does Zhu Biao want to be educated? It's unreasonable, unreasonable..." It's extremely unreasonable.
Although Fu Yiyang doesn't know the army, he can still see the map clearly. If his army is approaching Xinhua, he can just encircle it without attacking, or surround it without attacking, and go to capture Gaoming... Does the Song army have the strength to defend along the way?
?
"Continue to inquire." Tan Qi took the order and retreated.
"Instruct the entire army to enter Yijing County before noon."
He didn't know what kind of medicine Zhu Biao was selling in his gourd, but Fu Yiyang felt that the situation was biased in his favor.
So, from Yijing to Xinhua, the day passed again.
…
On the way from Xinghe to Dongcheng, the sun was covered with banners, and there were oars and oars flying in the clouds. There were many swords and spears, and many swords and halberds. This was the overwhelming momentum of the 30,000-strong army from Wugang County.
There was no need to worry about possible interception. When the Lutong Department was withdrawing from Xinghe, the original prince's army in the army suddenly rebelled, making the secret retreat at night known to everyone.
The 30,000 Sizhou troops outside the city were alarmed and rushed to chase Lu Tong. They defeated Lu Tong.
After daybreak, the two sides fought again for a while, and then Lu Tongbu was pinned down on the road, and the retreat to Dongcheng was as fast as a snail's crawl.
As for Yao Fangqiong and Pang Zigong, the two original commanders gathered nearly 6,000 troops after Lu Tong's defeat. Now they have become the main and deputy vanguards of the Sizhou Army, clinging to Lu Tong's headquarters like flies.
They couldn't escape. With 30,000 troops behind them, they won two more games in a row. Yao Fangqiong and Pang Zigong's troops were so high-spirited that they didn't take Lu Tong's troops seriously.
The two of them even had the idea of avenging their past humiliation. They both felt that with only 6,000 troops, they could defeat the low morale of Lu Tong's troops. To justify their previous defeats, they proved that the previous defeats were just occasional mistakes, not accidental mistakes.
own true level.
Yugu Road was destroyed, Baoding County was destroyed, but Yao Fangqiong's family hid in the countryside early. None of them fell into Lu Tong's hands. He would not be polite to Lu Tong now.
Dou Bing only had 300 cavalry left. The big defeat at night was thanks to him leading his troops to defeat a Sizhou army with a desperate attack, which gave Lu Tong a chance to reorganize his army. Otherwise, what would have happened?
Whether Lu Tong's troops still exist after one night is open to question.
When Zhu Biao led 1,200 cavalry to Lu Tong's army, Lu Tong, Dou Bing, Jiao Ming, and Wang Jiuling all looked ashamed.
It was Zhu Biao's order to withdraw that put them in this difficult situation. However, everything has two sides. If in the future when the Sizhou army attacks the city, the Prince's Army who have surrendered to their army should follow suit and cause trouble, the trouble will be even greater.
Big.
Zhu Biao's order also eliminated a time bomb for them, a huge hidden danger.
"The defeat of your army was due to my poor consideration. There is no need to bear the burden."
Xing Hezhi's defeat to Zhu Biao sounded a wake-up call. The plan he made before had some omissions. Fortunately, it was not too late and there was still time to make changes.
"This is Mr. Li..." Without blaming Lu Tong and others at all, Zhu Biao did not mention the defeat at all. He looked at Li Changjun with a smile on his face. Now he needs civilian officials to manage logistics. ( To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
