"Look at this, it seems that the intruder really doesn't know that the governor has seen through his trick." Chang Yu stretched his waist: "As expected, the intruder is busy packing the truck and quietly heading south overnight."
"It's just that Huang Chuangzi will suffer now." Zhou Yuji sighed, and everyone frowned. Huang Degong only had more than ten thousand troops on the southern front. Although his combat power was not weak, he could face Li Guo, Luo Hu, Ma Shiyao, Ren Jirong and Gu Ke.
How could he gain favor from the four coalition forces? The last battle was due to the help of the refugees. At this time, the refugees had been led away, and the main force of the rebel army was sneaking southward. How could he defeat the enemy with one increase and one decrease?
"I hope this guy won't be stubborn and run away if he can't beat him. But don't run far away. Just keep an eye on him and bite him." Chang Yu sighed and suddenly said, "I still don't trust this guy. I'll give it a try myself."
"No"
Shi Kefa and others were shocked when they heard that Chang Yu was going to risk crossing the line of fire again.
Chang Yu waved his hand indifferently: "The rebel army was so prepared the day before that the governor was able to cross the border easily. Now that the rebel army is trying to escape and has no time to look around, the governor only needs to go further away." He waved his hand to Jia Waixiong and said, "Movement
Black Panther Camp, by the way, bring that wine can too.”
Jia Waixiong left with the order, and Li Yan approached him at this moment: "Master Governor, I will follow you there! Since the rebel army can sneak into Chencang, why can't we? We can also take the troops there quietly."
After hearing this, everyone agreed and praised Li Yan for his extraordinary resourcefulness.
But Chang Yu thought about it and waved his hand in denial. First, it would be difficult and meaningless to move most of the troops to the south of the rebel army. It does not mean that the bigger the troops blocking the road, the better. If you block him from the south, he will run in other directions.
It's not good to make him jump over the wall. Chang Yu's current tactic is not to surround and annihilate him, but to chase and annihilate him. He wants the rebel army to slowly collapse in the pursuit.
Secondly, if the bandit army flees south, they must send a heavy force to the rear. Only by defeating this force can they pursue the drowned dog at will. Moreover, chasing and killing is less laborious than intercepting and killing, but the results are greater.
Therefore, heavy troops must be left in the north. Firstly, they can keep Baoding City intact. Secondly, they can follow the rebels and chase them. The main force behind them will be beaten and beaten, causing the main force fleeing in front to suffer mental torture like a frightened bird. The morale of the army will easily weaken.
Will collapse!
Everyone who listened to these words suddenly realized that even the little governor was flattering, and even Li Yan was ashamed to be as thoughtful as this little eunuch.
"You stay here to assist Zhou's soldiers in chasing the thieves. I will go south to stop them and bite them." Chang Yu looked at the night sky in the south and sneered: "Li Zicheng came empty-handed. How can I let him return with the treasure mountain and catch him?"
It's best, even if you can't catch him, you have to keep it for me." He snorted coldly, and raised his eyes to scan the generals: "The bottom line of this governor is that he can slip through the net, but his property cannot slip through the net, and he must not be allowed to return to Xi'an!"
"I got the order." The generals bowed their hands and obeyed the order. Chang Yu nodded slightly, turned around and looked at the dark masses of refugees on the other side and suddenly asked Li Yan: "General Li, with so many refugees on the other side, is it still a problem?"
Li Yan was startled, and was about to agree, when something suddenly occurred to him, and he smiled slightly: "It's nothing to worry about anymore, it can be easily solved."
Chang Yu laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "General Li's talent as a general has brought peace to the world!" Most of his subordinates were brave and good at fighting, but few were resourceful, but Li Yan filled this gap. Whatever he thought of,
Li Yan was able to understand everything at once, and he was very happy about it.
"The Governor is ridiculously complimentary." Li Yan was delighted to receive such high praise from the young eunuch, but he was too humble to show it. In fact, he also admired the young eunuch more and more. He lost the battle of Taiyuan inexplicably.
But he was also convinced. Later, when he followed Chang Yu north to fight against the Qing army outside the Pass, he was fascinated by what he did. During the time when we worked together, the little eunuch used various tricks, both bright and dark, in an endless stream. He was dazzled and amazed.
The little eunuch relied on bravery to fight the battles in Taiyuan and outside the pass, while the several battles in Baoding Mansion relied on strategy.
He was ashamed of himself.
Chang Yu led the Black Panther Battalion and several guards from Wuzhong to go south at night. Before leaving, he ordered Shi Kefa to defend the city. Zhou Yuji was the commander and Li Yan was the assistant. The two had the right to mobilize all the troops on the northern front!
The red sun rises and shines brightly in the blink of an eye, and a new day begins again.
After washing up and having breakfast, Li Yan, Shi Kefa, Zhou Yuji and others went up to Nancheng to look out. The sun was bright and cloudless, and the view was excellent. They had an unobstructed view of more than ten miles. Patrols of officers and soldiers on the north bank of the Qingshui River were going back and forth to keep an eye on the other bank. On the south bank
There are refugees gathering within a few miles, and in the distance you can vaguely see the shadows of people.
Li Yan has already received reports from several groups of spies. The area around the 50-mile radius of the thief's camp is heavily guarded. The outside of the camp is covered by refugees, and numerous patrols on the outside cannot penetrate. It is impossible to detect whether there is any movement in the thief's camp.
Shi Kefa frowned, but Li Yan and Zhou Yuji looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the rebels were feeling guilty the more they behaved like this, and asked the spies if they had observed any rebels heading south.
The spy shook his head. The refugees stretched for hundreds of miles, and the bandit army used them as a cover to dispatch troops from the periphery, which was almost undetectable. This meant that Li Zicheng's main force at this time had most likely secretly retreated southward from Chen Cang.
"The soldiers and horses have rested for a night and their strength has recovered. If he runs away, we should pretend to chase him." Zhou Yuji looked at the refugees on the bank of Qingshui River and couldn't help but frown: "It's just that the intruder is very cunning and uses the refugees as a shield. In fact, it is hateful."
, now if you want to chase the thief, you have to break through the refugee barrier first, which is really annoying..."
"Commander Zhou, don't be anxious." Li Yan smiled lightly: "Today is different from the past, and the worries of the refugees are no longer a concern."
Zhou Yuji was startled, and then thought of the expressions on his and the young governor's face last night. They must have already had an idea in their minds, but his own brain was not that quick: "I would like to hear General Li's advice."
"I can't say that I have high opinions..." Li Yan smiled slightly and talked eloquently.
To put it simply, the refugees are not stupid at all. Li Zicheng coerced them into using them as cannon fodder. Originally, it was not a problem to follow them by waving flags and shouting, but he became more and more careless in letting them die, which will definitely make many people feel chilled and want to leave. After all, no one wants to do it.
Those who ate a few times lost their heads. Think about how many bloody battles were fought between the rebel army and the officers and soldiers in just these few days, and how many refugees were dragged to fill pits and died.
Especially after a bloody battle during the day, the refugees were driven out to clear the way and there were countless casualties. Before dark, they came again to drive out people, clearly intending to send them to their deaths. The refugees were frightened and had already lost their goodwill towards the rebels. At this time, they were no longer frightened by them.
He didn't dare to resist the threat, but the officers and soldiers on the opposite side didn't even blink an eye at the killing, otherwise they would have run over there long ago.
But what if the officers and soldiers extend an olive branch at this time?
Zhou Yuji and others' eyes lit up, and then they became worried: "What if we let the refugees come over, and the bandit army will take advantage of the situation and come over to kill them?"
Li Yan laughed loudly: "The rebel army attacked yesterday just to deceive others and divert attention. Now he has retreated south. The remaining troops in the rear will never take the initiative to attack again. Secondly, we may not necessarily let the refugees cross the river and let them go to both sides.
It’s okay to leave!”
Shi Kefa couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised him. Zhou Yuji immediately sent an order, and all the troops came out of the city and got into position, preparing to cross the river to chase the thieves!
