Zhuge Guanqi said: "No matter what, it must be delayed for an hour, so that you can have enough time to complete the raid. If you cannot capture Dongluocang within four hours, you must retreat in time, otherwise you will definitely fall into the encirclement of Yong's army."
"
Capturing Dongluocang in such a short period of time is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task for Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian said: "What about capturing Dongluocang?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "No matter whether they win or lose, the five thousand troops led by General Zhao will retreat to Dongluocang after an hour. If you capture Dongluocang as you wish, you can successfully enter Dongluocang for joint defense. If the siege fails,
, send a signal to evacuate across the board." Zhuge Guanqi said seriously: "For adults, time is everything. Every step must be controlled within the prescribed time. If there is any deviation, the consequences will be disastrous."
Hu Xiaotian said: "What if we attack Dongluocang in advance?"
Zhuge Guanqi shook his head and said: "It won't work if it's too early, and it won't work if it's too late! The right time, place, and people are favorable, and the right time takes the first place. You must seize the opportunity."
At the same time, a military meeting was being held in Shaoyuan City. Shaoyuan's commander-in-chief Qin Yangming pointed to the map on the wall and said: "The day after tomorrow at noon is when the last batch of prisoners will be exchanged, and it is also when we attack Dongliang County."
Qin Yangming's finger drew a trajectory from Shaoyuan to Dongliang County: "I personally lead 25,000 troops from the north. Within three hours, they will reach Dongliang County, Chang Fanqi!"
Chang Fanqi, the guard general of Dongluocang, came out. He was over ten feet tall, with red hair and beard. He was majestic and domineering: "The last general is here!"
Qin Yangming said: "Assign 15,000 people to Huang Xincheng's command, march from the northeast at the same time as us, outflank Dongliang County and attack Ximen!"
Chang Fan said curiously: "General, I am willing to lead the army in person."
Qin Yangming shook his head and said: "Dongluocang is the top priority and there is no room for failure. You must be in charge personally."
Chang Fanqi smiled and said: "General, do you think they dare to attack Dongluocang? Even if they dare to come, they will never be able to break through the city wall of Dongluocang without a hundred thousand troops." He was full of confidence in Dongluocang's city defense.
.
Qin Yangming said: "Hu Xiaotian is extremely cunning. He was able to defeat General Tang's 30,000 elite navy with 3,000 men before, which is enough to prove his ability. We must not underestimate the enemy, and we must not repeat the mistakes of General Tang."
Deputy General Yang Xiandao said: "General, Nanyang Water Village has also determined the time. The exchanged prisoners will be re-armed immediately after leaving Dongliang County, assemble them to march towards Dongliang County via the waterway, and block their escape to Wuxing County.
At the same time, Nanyang Water Village organized 17,000 people to approach Dongliang County by land. At that time, they can arrive at Dongliang County at the same time as us and attack the east gate of Dongliang County." Nanyang Navy abandoned the water route it was good at and chose the land route.
Its purpose is to catch them unawares.
Qin Yangming nodded and said, "What's happening in Wuxing County?"
Yang Xiandao: "Wuxing County has recently mobilized a lot of troops to garrison in Dongliang County, but their main force is still in Wuxing County. We should be careful of us taking advantage of the situation."
Qin Yangming said: "Wuxing County is located on the Yongjiang River. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We don't need to take this risk. We have already lost nearly 20,000 elite navy troops in the previous battle, which is enough to sound the alarm for us. We must not take credit for credit and advance rashly. Take it first."
Going down to Dongliang County, the only way to win is to fight steadily and steadily."
Chang Fanqi secretly thought that Qin Yangming mobilized nearly 70,000 people to attack Dongliang County this time. The total number of defenders in Dongliang County was only more than 10,000 people, so there should be no suspense about victory. The reason why he refused to let go
Go by yourself, probably because you don’t want to share his military exploits yourself! Whatever! It’s normal for Chang Fanqi to have such an idea. When a new king comes to power, almost every Dayong general wants to perform. Tang Boxi is like this. He wants to win
He went to Dongliang County to claim credit from the new king, but was afraid that others would dilute his contribution, so he did not seek land support from any friendly forces, and even ended up in a disastrous defeat. Although Chang Fanqi's official rank was slightly lower than Qin Yangming's, he commanded Dongluo
The Cang garrison is a relatively independent group. This attack on Dongliang County was entirely in response to Qin Yangming's request for cooperation and support.
Qin Yangming had learned a lesson now, and not only marched by land and water, but also organized an army of 70,000 people. Such a large-scale siege would be a bit overkill. Chang Fanqi was not convinced by Qin Yangming. Although Qin Yangming had many military exploits, this time
If a man fights too conservatively and does not have an absolute advantage, he will not attack easily. Although Chang Fanqi is under the jurisdiction of Qin Yangming, it does not mean that he agrees with Qin Yangming's strength. This time Qin Yangming transferred his fifteen thousand
People refused to let him lead the troops in person, so Chang Fanqi couldn't help but have the idea of making wedding clothes for others. What was the most important thing, what was just in case, and excuses were all excuses.
A heavy snowfall came as scheduled, which made Hu Xiaotian have to admire Zhu Guanqi's ability to observe the celestial phenomena. This guy is simply the best in the world. Let alone living in the present, even if he lives in modern society, he will definitely be able to find a high-paying position at a weather station.
Because of the possible heavy snow, Hu Xiaotian had people prepare white cloaks and clothes in advance. Everyone who accompanied Hu Xiaotian in the night attack on Dongluocang was puzzled by this. Only now do they know his farsightedness. It turned out that
They wanted to use black night clothes to conceal their whereabouts. After the snowfall, the sky and the earth were endless and white. If they wore night clothes and became the most eye-catching part, they would be shot to death before they even got close to Dongluocang.
Wearing white clothes while walking in the snow can avoid exposing your hidden clothing to the greatest extent.
Zhan Peng, who had just returned, joined Hu Xiaotian's night attack. On the day of the prisoner exchange, they had arrived at a mountain col about ten miles away from the canal at Chenshi. A thousand elite warriors were divided into ten groups and lurked. As night fell,
Only then can they take action.
Liang Yinghao brought a pizza rolled with beef to Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian took it with a smile and bit into it. It was hard and the taste was not very good. In order to avoid exposing the hidden body, they could not light a fire to make rice, so they could only make do with it.
Full stomach.
Liang Yinghao said with a smile: "Lord, I'll just leave it at that. When we capture Dongluocang, we can go to Dongluocang and have a big meal."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "At least we still have enough to eat, and those Yong Army prisoners can't even get enough to eat."
Zhan Peng laughed on the side. He remembered what Hu Xiaotian had arranged for Gao Yuan. Those captured Yong soldiers only had one meal to eat every day. Hu Xiaotian wanted to weaken their combat effectiveness to the greatest extent and gave them a full meal before leaving.
Of course, this meal was filled with laxatives. I was afraid that these prisoners would have diarrhea after getting on the ship.
Liang Yinghao also thought about this and said with a smile: "Those grain transport ships will probably become dung transport ships."
Hu Xiaotian laughed and raised his head to look at the sky. The snow had been falling all night and there was still no sign of stopping. No wonder Zhu Guanqi said that Tianshi was on his side. Although Yu Tianxing was extremely talented, he was not as talented as Zhu Guanqi.
With the ability to predict celestial phenomena, Hu Xiaotian secretly made up his mind to take Zhu Guanqi under his command no matter how much effort he put in. With Yu Tianxing, Zhu Guanqi, and assistants on the left and Bi on the right, he would definitely be able to carve out a world in Yongjiang.
.
This raid had extremely strict time requirements. Although Hu Xiaotian repeatedly emphasized that, in the absence of modern timekeeping tools such as clocks, they could only rely on the most primitive methods to estimate time. The heavy snow made it convenient for them to hide their whereabouts.
, but it also blocked the sunlight, making it more difficult for them to estimate time.
This snow has caused too many changes in the situation. Everything depends on people and God. Hu Xiaotian grabbed a handful of snow and balled it into a snowball, then brought it to his mouth and took a big bite.
Zhan Peng said: "Sir, what if we capture Dongluocang and their army comes to trap us?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "There is plenty of grain in Dongluo Cang. Within an eight hundred miles radius, Dongluo Cang is the center for supplying grain and grass. How many days can Qin Yangming's tens of thousands of troops last in the ice and snow?"
Liang Yinghao said: "If he loses Dongluocang, I'm afraid he won't even be able to save his head."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't mind giving him a ride again."
Qin Yangming's army launched an hour earlier than planned. The snow created obstacles for the march. He had to arrive at Dongliang County within the scheduled time. The plan to encircle Dongliang County could not be changed. Qin Yangming did not because of this
Snow is a good thing, as it can hide their whereabouts as much as possible. Snow heralds a good year, and maybe this snow is also a good sign for the upcoming battle.
Qin Yangming was not worried about their whereabouts being exposed. Seventy thousand soldiers and horses marched directly from four directions to Dongliang County. The other party would not be unaware of such an action. Qin Yangming even expected a victory without a fight.
I hope that Hu Xiaotian will retreat when he knows the difficulty, abandon the city and retreat to Wuxing County after learning the news of the arrival of his own army, so that he can avoid casualties to the greatest extent.
There are still thirty miles away from Dongliang County. The scouting horse from the front came to report: "Report! General Qin, there is currently no sign of Dongliang County withdrawing troops from Wuxing County."
Qin Yangming frowned. It was impossible for the other party to be unaware at such a close distance. It seems that Hu Xiaotian has decided to defend Dongliang County. A battle is inevitable. Qin Yangming said: "How is the current situation of the Nanyang Navy?"
Tan Ma said: "For your information, General, the navy is still ten miles away from Xiasha Port. We haven't seen any reaction from Wuxing County so far."
Qin Yangming's face was full of suspicion. He turned to his side and said, "Zhai Yuan, what do you think?"
Zhai Yuan, the counselor under the tent, said: "General, Wuxing County should not dare to take the risk of sending troops. The trend of encirclement has been formed, and Dongliang County has become the general's bag."
Qin Yangming said to the spy: "Look again!" He squinted his eyes and looked at the falling snow between the sky and the earth, and whispered: "I always feel that something is wrong. Everything seems to be going too smoothly." (To be continued...
