Chapter 29: Forcibly Shifting and Living in One Zhi'an (Part 2) (Three in One)
Zhang Yan was overjoyed to receive Zhang Sheng's support, but she was still careful, and even became more cautious for this reason.
In fact, long before he talked to Zhang Sheng alone, during the military meeting, his close subordinates had already taken over the peripheral defense of the entire camp. And after he received Zhang Sheng's support, he directly ordered,
Except for the central army, all ministries are not allowed to dispatch scouts without authorization. Even for necessary things such as fetching water and cutting firewood, they can only go out from the rear camp and go deep into the Taihang Mountains behind them to deal with them. They are not allowed to go even half a step beyond the front camp... Those who disobey the order.
cut!
The last four words are not a simple military order, but are explained by the heads of dozens of lax soldiers during the day.
In the evening of the same day, during the new military meeting convened by the leaders of various ministries, in addition to deciding on the strategy, it was also determined that Zhang Yan's headquarters would take on the tasks of leaving the camp and the special forces at the same time... This battle was based on haste versus haste. Gongsun
Xun only has 5,000 men, and Zhang Yan only has 20,000, but all the 10,000 men directly under his main force have come. Previously, 2,000 men were sent to the east entrance of Jingxing, but now there are 8,000 men left, divided into two.
Three, two thousand stayed behind, one thousand fought, and a full five thousand stayed put, but this showed quite decisiveness.
In fact, it was not that no one put forward opinions. They thought that it was a bit risky for Zhang Yan to have a special force of 5,000 main troops, and to block the camp, some people could not trust him. However, as the leader who raised the opinion was pushed out and killed on the spot, his subordinates were
Zhang Yan's confidants took over, but the matter was settled.
After all, this general in trouble still has a few brushes. Although he needs someone to read the history books for him, he is experienced and self-taught. At least he knows that as a bandit leader, he is the most important person.
What needs to be guarded against - a group of bandits, divided into more than ten tribes, with mixed feelings and unclear discipline. The most important thing to be careful about is someone betraying the enemy, and the second most important thing is to be careful about the leakage of military information.
In fact, when Gongsun Xun just entered the palace, he talked eloquently before, mentioning that the real essence behind Han Xin's last-ditch battle was to grasp the initiative on the battlefield. Lou Zibo and Xun Gongda were thoughtful at the same time, and it was these two who were thinking about it.
After all, when Han Xin defeated the 200,000 Zhao army in the first battle, it will be judged by later generations that the first achievement was naturally Han Xin's superb method. However, one person's contribution was greater than that of the Ranger general who led two thousand light soldiers to sneak attack the camp. But it was at that time
Zhang Er in Han Xin's army.
Zhang Er was the hero who revived the Zhao State together with Chen Yu, and was one of the two actual founders of the Zhao State regime at that time. He broke with Chen Yu, and then he was with Han Xin, but countless close friends and old men were
Being on the opposite side, this allowed Han Xin to know almost everything about the Zhao army's military subordinates, the character of the generals, and even the preparatory military plan.
In other words, the main reason why Han Xin was able to seize the initiative on the battlefield in a last-ditch battle was that he had countless spies in his hands and opened the map!
When Xun You and Lou Gui heard Gongsun Xun's words, their first reaction was that Gongsun Xun should have planted hidden stakes among the bandits and knew the enemy's army well, so he spoke so loudly and talked about the enemy before the battle.
Han Xin.
It's just that there were so many people at that time that it was difficult to ask directly.
"How can we arrange spies in a hasty battle?" That evening, in the hastily built camp on the back of the river, Gongsun Xun, who held an open-air military meeting by the Mianmanshui River, responded calmly to the inquiries of two military advisors. "As for the so-called internal agents,
, it cannot be said that there is none, but among them, the biggest and most reasonable internal response should be Zhang Yan himself."
Everyone was speechless for a moment, and only the torches were reflected in the fast flowing water.
"Actually, this can be regarded as a qualitative change caused by some kind of quantitative change." Gongsun Xun continued to say something that no one could understand, and then he sighed. "How many years have passed, the situation in the world has changed from what it used to be, not just Zhang.
Yan, even some other bandit leaders who had no choice but to do so, now most likely have their own agenda. Although they had some words when they first became thieves, how can they expect it now? To put it bluntly, if you send one person to be a spy, this person will do it all the time.
Once you reach the position of enemy marshal, your previous identity as a spy is nothing more than a joke..."
"Then where does the general rely on in this battle?" Tian Feng listened impatiently, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore. "A battle on the battlefield is a matter of life and death. If you want to take the initiative, you need to distinguish between strong and weak, and secondly, have insight.
battlefield……"
"There were two internal correspondents before." Gongsun Xun finally told the truth. "They were the leaders of two of them. One of them had contacted General Ning Shuo before the autumn harvest and wanted to surrender. This time he happened to be in Zhang Yan's army.
, there is another one who took the initiative to contact our scouts and also passed on the news... But for some reason, starting from today's daytime, the sentry sent out has not found the latter who pretended to be cutting firewood to deliver the news.
, and the enemy camp also began to be on strict alert."
"Zhang Yan can be considered a veteran." Tian Feng was silent for a moment after hearing this, but rarely offered an excuse for Gongsun Xun. "He may not know the details, but he definitely knows where to take precautions."
"Then what should I do if I wait?" Xi Zhong asked with a frown. "Just wait for the other party..."
"We can't wait or delay!" Xun Gongda suddenly interrupted. "Not to mention that Zhang Yan and the Taihang Mountain bandits were originally trying to delay time, prevent recruitment, and hinder the autumn harvest. As for Zhang Yan alone, he should not be looking for a war.
Shengzhi just wanted to use Taihang Mountain as the foundation, take advantage of the Ming Gong to start the war in front, and constantly harass the Ming Gong behind him. This is the so-called imitation of Ying Bu's strategy of "scratching King Xiang's back"... Now at the beginning, Zhang Yan is still
If he has the will to fight, he should be captured in one fell swoop. If not, he is used to avoiding battles in the mountains, and it might become a catastrophe! At the worst, a large army will be used to encircle and suppress him, which will delay the overall situation in the future."
"What Gongda said is absolutely true." Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the floor, nodded slowly, but looked at Lou Gui beside him.
Of course Lou Gui understood what his prince meant, and he immediately gave the plan that the military staff had discussed together: "If we want to fight quickly, there are not many tricks to speak of. The most we can do is follow the example of the Marquis of Huaiyin."
The old wisdom is to use the advantage of Mianman River to connect the north and south roads to divide the troops and conduct a sneak attack... Tomorrow morning, immediately detach an elite army of one or two thousand people, sneak attack along the Mianman River to the north road in advance, and take a long detour
The enemy's side and rear, and then wait until daylight, the main force of our army will march with great fanfare from the dangerous south road only ten miles away. In the afternoon, assuming that the surprise troops have arrived, we can pretend that the attack on the camp has failed, lure the enemy to fight, and then hide it
Release your surprise troops, either to attack the camp or to cut off the retreat of the pursuing troops!"
"As things stand now, it seems that this is the only way." Gongsun Yue, who was sitting next to his brother, nodded slowly and agreed. "But I thought that Yi Cong, who had sent out a sneak attack, would keep the white horse and let the county
The soldiers ride white horses to attack the camp pretending to be loyal, pretending to be loyal and loyal from the front, so that if the attack on the camp is really frustrated, the other party will definitely despise it, and maybe they can be more confident."
After saying this, Gongsun Xun rarely praised his clan brother. The rest of the people thought about it, but had nothing to add, so they all agreed and then dispersed to prepare.
Of course, such a division of troops requires preparation in advance, especially since the Rangers need to take a long route. It is not just about arranging ordnance and taking an early rest. More importantly, the only two or three hundred civilians need to prepare two or three days of dry food and drinking water overnight.
Therefore, the area where the rear camp faced the river became brightly lit, and the smoke emerged again, rising straight into the sky under the semi-circular moon in early August.
By the way, Gongsun Xun finished his routine inspection of the camp and arranged some things. According to the habit in the army, he went back to his tent to read and rest... However, he was holding a copy of "Historical Records" printed by Amway to read.
After not much effort, Jia Kui suddenly came to report that someone outside the tent wanted to see him.
"Where is Gongda coming from?" In the middle of the night, when Gongsun Xun saw the visitor, he was so busy that he didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't even put down the book in his hand.
"Report to Duke Ming." Xun You was startled when he saw Gongsun Xun's posture, and then he raised his hands seriously and said, "I just thought of something and I have to come."
"Sit down and wait a moment." Gongsun Xun pointed casually, but did not immediately listen to the other party's opinion. "Let's see how many people are coming."
When Xun You heard this, he had no intention of protesting, and instead sat down directly in the tent.
Suddenly, Jia Kui came to report again, saying that Lou Gui was here.
Gongsun Xun followed suit and asked Lou Gui to sit quietly and wait.
After a while, Jia Kuifu brought Tian Feng in again... At midnight, the three military officers selected by Gongsun Xun to specialize in military affairs gathered in General Wei's back tent, and then looked at each other in silence, each of them speechless.
After a while, Jia Kui reported for the fourth time, saying that the wave of night sentries sent by Gongsun Xun had quickly returned and brought relevant information.
At this moment, the three military advisors were relieved.
"In that case, there is no need to wait for anyone anymore." The sentry cavalry said goodbye and went out of the tent. Gongsun Xun put down the "Historical Records" in his hand and said simply to the three obviously more skilled military advisors. "I already have the battle tomorrow.
Decide, how about the three military advisors listen to it?"
………………
"I have made a decision for today's battle!" The next morning, after breakfast, Gongsun Xun was fully clothed and formally held a meeting with all the generals in the army in front of the tent. However, he did so in front of the entire army, including officers and staff, including those who were envoys of the emperor.
Wang Lang arrived and announced loudly, "The autumn harvest has begun. If Zhang Yan cannot be defeated immediately and the bandits in the Northern Taihang group are leaderless, a catastrophe will inevitably occur. Therefore, today is the time to imitate King Xiang's strategy of breaking the cauldron and sinking the ship."
Cut off the way back, and then the whole army will move forward bravely."
There was an uproar in the army, especially most of the middle and high-level officers. Their minds were in a state of confusion. Didn’t they always say that they would imitate Han Xin and fight for the last time? Why did they change to imitating King Xiang? Could it be that I was confused last night and wasted no time in the beginning?
?Anyway, a last stand and a desperate fight sound quite similar.
And when these people turned their attention to a few peaceful-looking military advisors, as well as to Pound, the absolute main force in the army, they deepened their self-doubt... Especially Pound, who was originally
Shouldn't he be leading a group of 1,500 of the most elite volunteers to join the Rangers before dawn? Why are they still there at this time? Moreover, they are still leading a group of Yicon officers there, tapping their armor with swords, making noises, and expressing their approval.
?
But regardless of being confused, he still understood. As Gongsun Xun gave the order, the Yicong officers below started to make noises, and then some of the staff in the army began to express their agreement. However, the entire army immediately began to implement General Wei's plan to destroy the boat!
It was impossible to smash the pot, and I was reluctant to smash it, and my back could still block the knife; but the camp that had been erected in a hurry for only one day and night was easily dismantled. The fence was knocked down, the tent was put away, and the food and fodder in the tent were included.
They were sent to the back of Mianman River; two county soldiers who tried to blend in with the auxiliary soldiers and failed to return while delivering equipment across the river were beheaded in public, and then the pontoon was destroyed in public...
Finally, at the former site of the barracks on the bare Mianmanshui side, when all the soldiers in the army, from Gongsun Xun on down, each received a day's supply of dry food for one person, and after the water was diverted, everyone began to get really nervous, because everyone
It's all confirmed - today's battle, if we really can't defeat the thief, it will really be over!
Otherwise? In a terrain like Jingxing, it is impossible to defeat thieves. The only way to survive is to surrender. But for the main force in the army, even the soldiers of Taiyuan County are people with families, families and roots. Let alone Yi Cong, who is willing to do it?
thief?!
Liu Zhang had not yet put on his armor, but was just leading his own horses in line, and he was already sweating profusely - he had been in Yizhou for more than a year and had experienced a military life for more than a year. He was no longer the chubby Yizhou shepherd boy.
In fact, good nutritional supplements since childhood and more than a year of exercise make the aristocratic children in their prime look quite impressive, but how can the weak character developed since childhood be easily changed?
Fazheng and Yang Xiu, these two smart kids, don't have so much extra brains to use, because there is really nothing else to think about. At this moment, they are just ordinary soldiers. In addition to giving it a try, they can also
What could they do? Therefore, the two of them just kept lowering their heads to check their equipment and looked after their horses from time to time.
Meng Da, on the other hand, seemed a little excited before the first battle. He didn't care about being cut off, and actually walked up and down with the officers of Yi Zhong to encourage his colleagues. His behavior was quite similar to Jia Kui's.
... Therefore, he gained Pound's favor and called him around to praise him.
But no matter what, in the morning, as everyone was ready, the Chinese army sounded the trumpet, and the whole army finally stood in awe!
Amidst the sound of trumpets, the whole army saw with their own eyes the fully armed General Gongsun Xun on his horse, the world-famous white horse flag, the white horse guards, the general's guard of honor, and the umbrella cover, everything was there, and then he ignored them.
Regardless, he personally headed east first, but the whole army then cheered up, blew the trumpets again and again, and followed each other to fight in accordance with order.
Although Jingxing South Road is very close, the terrain is complex, ranging from narrow to wide, making it extremely troublesome to walk. Therefore, although the distance is only ten miles, the two armies met in a narrow passage halfway along the road at noon -
-There are actually two open valleys between the two armies' camps, which are naturally suitable for battlefields. So at that time, both sides hoped to be the first to seize this passage and reach the next valley before engaging in battle, so they temporarily increased their speed, but unexpectedly
Encounter on a narrow road.
Although Zhang Yan and the Taihang bandits had already known from the scouts that Gongsun Xun had arrived in person, seeing General Wei's ceremonial guards clearly marked and the white horses filling the road, their aura, which was already a head above water, couldn't help but become lower, and even more so.
People rushed forward to ask Zhang Yan for instructions on how to fight and how to fake defeat.
It's just a mess anyway.
On the other side, Gongsun Xun, who also knew about the opponent's arrival early, was a little unprepared for the battle in the narrow channel, but he immediately made a decision and adopted Lou Gui's suggestion, and stopped on a high rocky ground on one side to directly pass on the order - Terrain
There is no need to fire a volley of bows and crossbows first. The whole army immediately dismounts and fights on foot. With the troops as units, they hold the flag and march forward to fight bravely. No need to say more.
As a result, the sound of horns continued and resounded throughout the valley again. On the narrow battlefield passage that was only a few hundred steps wide and still undulating, the battle broke out instantly.
The swords were unsheathed, the armor was raised, the righteous soldiers were in front, and the county soldiers were behind, shouting and rushing forward to attack with their swords.
Zhang Yan was wearing iron armor, a he crown, and a red cloak. She was also standing on a small high ground. Before she could identify Gongsun Xun and the surrounding people on the opposite side, she was immediately confused by the battle situation.
He wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know how to give the order - he originally wanted to fake defeat to lure Gongsun Xun to his camp, but he was preparing for an orderly fake defeat, and now he met on a narrow road, so what?
Can you easily arrange a retreat?
However, the Han army continued to attack. With many soldiers in the vanguard, sharp weapons, and a spirit of bloody courage, they attacked the purple bandits in front of them layer by layer, just like waves hitting the soil on the river beach layer by layer.
, in almost a quarter of an hour, the vanguard of the Purple Mountain Bandits, who had been entrenched in the mountains for six or seven years and were known as tough bandits, was defeated... Zhang Yan did not need to think about how to fake defeat at all.
Because if we don't make a cut quickly at this time, abandon the front army and retreat to the open valley behind us, we will have to roll back the bead curtain.
Zhang Yan abandoned the vanguard and retreated hastily. He had regained his consciousness halfway, but gradually became unconcerned - after all, they had just met in a narrow passage in the passage, and the Zishan Army's strength advantage could not be revealed. It was only a few hundred people.
With the wide passage and limited battlefield, who can fight against the world-famous white horse Yi Cong, even if the opponent dismounts and fights on foot? And the hundreds of casualties and casualties were not even his own, they were originally prepared to be used as soldiers in this battle.
What’s the big deal if the bait is consumed?!
Besides, you have to fake defeat in person after all. The real trick is to start early in the morning, take a long detour from the north road, and then in the afternoon you can withstand the five thousand strange soldiers in the opponent's camp!
At that time, once the Qi soldiers were obtained and Qi Zheng traded, they could become the main army. The narrow Jingxing South Road was locked on both sides, and even Gongsun Xun, an immortal, could not do anything for it.
In this way, Zhang Yan and the other bandit leaders escaped from the passage while thinking. When they came to the open valley behind them, they immediately organized their formations in the valley and prepared for battle.
In other words, in the valley at this time, facing the suddenly open terrain, Zhang Yanjun, who decisively withdrew from the passage, did take advantage of his numerical advantage. Most of the main force, which had not entered the narrow passage in the first place, was organized in the valley according to the divisions of each department, with a few
There were five to six hundred people, and as many as one or two thousand people. The military formations were stacked on top of each other. Under Zhang Yan's strict supervision, they formed formations. Although they were a little messy, they roughly spread from this end of the upper valley to
At the other end of the valley, it can be regarded as being fortified and blocked layer by layer.
Of course, this is also a better way to abandon the front army and retreat while preserving the effective forces. It is very suitable for "faking defeat"!
However, as the Han army chased the defeated soldiers and poured out of the passage, they also succeeded in establishing a foothold at the mouth of the valley, formed a large formation, and charged directly forward in foot battle. Zhang Yan became confused again, and then felt that something was wrong - it turned out that,
After entering the valley, with a wide view, he saw most of the Han army pouring out. The general who was determined to be in trouble suddenly discovered that the number of the Han army was somewhat beyond his imagination, and the offensive was far more fierce than he imagined!
"How big do you think the Han army is?" Zhang Yan stared at it for a long time, then suddenly turned around and asked Yang Feng beside him.
"I kept counting when the Han army came out, and I thought it must be five thousand...or six thousand?" Yang Feng hesitated for a moment, but gave the answer.
"What do you think?" Zhang Yanfu turned to another general Bai Que and asked.
Bai Que stared at the battlefield and pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a dark face: "It's definitely more than four thousand, not even four thousand and five... It's really close to five thousand. Did General Wei send out his entire army? Only a few hundred auxiliary troops were left to defend.
?Or are reinforcements coming?"
"Both sides are in such a hurry, where are the reinforcements coming from?" Zhang Yan snorted coldly.
"That general?" Yang Fengfu asked Zhang Yan seriously. "General Wei has brought a total of five thousand soldiers... Is it true?"
"I don't know how many scouts are dead. It was determined long after General Wei entered Jingxingkou that it was five thousand." Zhang Yan's expression also became strange. "You also had your own scouts sent out at that time... Why do you need to ask me?"
"
"Then this is a good thing!" Yang Feng said quickly. "Since General Wei has sent out all his troops and the camp is extremely empty, wouldn't it be easy to win? Then the five thousand men sent by the general will set fire to the camp opposite.
If you come out and attack from behind, you will win the battle easily."
"Having said that," Bai Que argued from the side. "General Wei can't be so ignorant and leave Beidao alone, right?"
"Then what do you think is going on?" Yang Feng said tit for tat.
Listening to the two generals fighting, Zhang Yan felt a little confused in her heart, and she really didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
In the chaos, he originally wanted to ask the most trusted Zhang Sheng and Zhang Baiqi, but the latter was at the bottom of the valley personally arranging his two thousand soldiers and was not around. So Zhang Yan could only give up and then
Observe the battle carefully, command, and focus on the battle situation in the valley.
But the more he read and thought about it, the more Zhang Yan felt something was wrong.
This is actually a very simple math problem:
The comparison of the total combat strength of the two armies is 5,000 to 20,000, a ratio of one to four;
According to the original plan, five thousand troops were divided into a sneak attack along the long route to the north, leaving two thousand behind, and then removing the two thousand at the east pass. Therefore, the actual number of troops dispatched this time was ten thousand, and if the Han army had left one thousand to one thousand
If 500 people guard the camp, that means there should be 3,500 to 4,000 people. The strength ratio in various parts of the battlefield should be maintained at about one to three. This is a very healthy number. Whether it is a fake defeat or a surprise attack,
They are all numbers that can ensure the initiative in all aspects;
But now, the opponent's five thousand soldiers came out, and they defeated and killed some of the soldiers and horses in the passage, so the strength comparison at this time was actually one to two! In terms of the combat effectiveness of the bandits and the regular army, especially the latter still had two thousand soldiers
Recognized as the world's elite, it seems a bit dangerous - even if you originally wanted to cheat defeat!
After all, what if the front was penetrated by Gongsun Xun in one go? What if he attacked all the way and captured the camp?
And just when Zhang Yan was watching the Han army becoming more and more courageous as they fought, and he was getting more and more nervous, suddenly, the trumpet sound under the flag of the white horse on the opposite side of the high ground suddenly sounded, and several more flags were waved to signal that just now
The Han army that defeated a group of bandits was more well-equipped, and they were obviously those loyal followers who fought on foot. At this time, they suddenly retreated collectively and returned to the entrance of the passage to ride on the white war horses that had just been grouped together.
Obviously, the reason for defeating the first rebel army in the infantry battle just now was to make room for tactical preparations for the cavalry.
At this time, many bandit leaders who were born in Hebei were actually nervous because they had already sensed the danger, but none of them were as thorough as Zhang Yan.
In fact, seeing Baima Yicong live up to his name again, Zhang Yan, who was looking at him from afar, felt his head buzzing, his hairs stood up in an instant, and his heart became clear.
In other words, the general who is determined to solve the problem already knows where he went wrong - he should not invest too many troops in the Rangers, nor should he let his direct troops bear all the division of troops strategy, so that he should not leave any troops behind.
There are too few troops in this frontal battlefield!
Eleven thousand soldiers, or ten thousand soldiers, it doesn't matter, there are only a thousand troops to stabilize the situation!
The large-scale special forces that were originally intended to ensure that the surprise troops could be converted into regular soldiers, the originally intended to ensure that everyone stayed behind to control the overall situation, and the originally intended small number of troops that were intended to reduce losses in a fake defeat, all turned out to be a defeat at this time!
Why did Gongsun Xun underestimate himself? He clearly understood his own strategy of dividing his troops, even his strategy of cheating defeat, and even his selfish and suspicious character. Then he made a prompt decision, concentrated all his forces, and prepared to fight against him.
Defeat yourself on the battlefield where the headquarters is weakest!
During this awakening process, as two thousand cavalry mounted and prepared in the open valley, the situation on the battlefield immediately became subtle.
Naturally, General Wei would not go into battle in person to charge, but he had his white horse flag sent over. Under the white horse flag, Pound got on his horse. While urging the horse to slow down, he waved the spear in his hand and shouted for kill! Two thousand white horses.
The cavalrymen behind them imitated Pound's posture, speeding up from the west valley mouth while shouting for kill.
After a few sounds, the sounds gradually synchronized, and the killing sound overwhelmed all the noise on the battlefield and echoed wildly in the valley. The bandits on the opposite side were shocked and lost their composure, but it was already too late.
The two thousand white horse cavalry used the previously cleared tactical space to speed up, and then regardless of it, they formed a sharp formation, made a slight maneuver in the valley, and then went straight to where Zhang Yan was. There were several bandits in the valley, not
There was no chance to intercept, but as members of a non-direct lineage, they had no reason to die for Zhang Yan. Moreover, the command system was different. Without orders from their own leaders, they had no time to risk their lives to intercept this cavalry.
For a moment, the two thousand white-horse Yi Cong, with only a slight turn, rushed directly in front of Zhang Yan's one thousand Chinese army. The one thousand Chinese army was not cunning, and there was no need to be cunning... They were the target! And
In just a moment, with the trampling of horses' hooves and the thrust of spears, the only unit directly belonging to Zhang Yan on the battlefield was about to collapse.
Of course, the two thousand cavalry also stopped charging for this reason.
On the high ground more than a hundred paces behind the military formation, Zhang Yan hesitated for less than a moment before riding away - it was only a thousand soldiers anyway, and he was going to fake defeat anyway, even if he was really defeated by Gongsun Xun today.
If he stabbed through Jingxing, the worst he could do would be to escape into the mountains. He had countless reasons to escape.
However, Yang Feng and Bai Que, who were originally accompanying Zhang Yan, watched Zhang Yan lead the guards to retreat. Zhang Yan's headquarters was in danger, and it was intended to cause the overall collapse of all the rebels in the valley. However, they actually did not move for a moment. Instead,
He held the horse's rein and gave some instructions to the guards behind him. After the guards left, they started talking to each other.
"Brother Baique, let's not talk secretly. Today, the whole army of General Wei came in an instant. Five thousand troops have become a joke. Zhang Yan left less than half an hour after the battle. I don't think the camp can be guaranteed. This time
The battle is over here. We just asked our personal guards to go back and prepare for surrender, as if the heroes have the same view." Yang Feng looked at Bai Que beside him, changing his previous vulgarity and looking polite.
"But it's all surrender, but I know that you have been in communication with General Ning Shuo before... So can you please be a middleman and take me to surrender together, so as to seek a higher background? Internal Ying and battlefield surrender,
It’s always different, right?”
Bai Que, who was always serious, looked Yang Feng up and down, then sneered, reining in his horse and heading down the slope: "Brother Yang, go ahead, I have something else to do!"
"Everything is easy to discuss!" Yang Feng begged sincerely from behind. "Anyway, we have to surrender. This matter is just one sentence from Brother Baique, but it can save me so much trouble... I will definitely be rewarded in the future!"
"Brother Yang has misunderstood." Baique still did not look back. "If you want to surrender, you can go to my department to find my deputy general Wang Zhong. He is usually responsible for communicating with General Ning Shuo, so there is no need to look for me..."
"Then what do you want?" Yang Feng's heart moved.
"I was originally the county lieutenant of Gonggao County in the Hejian Kingdom. Although I was kidnapped by Zhang Niujiao that day, I didn't resent others due to the situation at that time. On the contrary, I am an old friend of these years. I owe a lot to my clan for being able to survive in the mountains for a long time.
The maintenance of General Dingnan." Bai Que immediately turned around and said calmly, "In the summer, I went to find General Ningshuo and tried to surrender. It was to find a way out for the people in the stronghold, but I never wanted to betray General Dingnan.
General. And since he was defeated today, General Wei will definitely drive us as vanguards to attack the camp...Brother Baique, I can't make an appointment with someone, but the kindness I received backfired. Although I am already a thief,
But I am just a thief, so I still have to keep the last bit of innocence in my heart to comfort myself."
After saying that, he turned around again and slowly continued to move forward to the army formation that had been disintegrated to the point of disintegration, with a faint intention of speeding up.
"What is Brother Baique's name?" Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, but couldn't help but rein in his horse and take a few steps forward, asking loudly.
"Hejian Gong Gao, Wang Ran!" The six words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time blurted out. The next moment, the white bird jumped on his horse with his sword drawn, and rode alone to the white horse formation in front of him. "Hejian Gong Gao, Wang Ran!"
here!"
But after a few breaths, he was about to rush to the front of the formation. Before he could swing his sword, he was hit by an arrow in the chest and fell from his horse to the ground.
Immediately, two men came from the horse fight. One hurriedly drew back his bow, and the other held a spear to make up for it. After the man with the spear took action, he tried his best to shout to the dead man on the ground and responded: "The one who killed you is Hongnong Huayin."
Yang Xiu and Hexi Jiangxia Jingling Mausoleum Liu Zhang!"
As if, this person's sharp ears actually heard the white sparrow sign up before, so he responded, but he didn't care that the people on the ground could no longer hear it.
When Yang Feng saw such a situation from a distance, he secretly lamented in his heart, but without hesitation, he immediately reined in his horse and turned around to surrender... It had been almost seven or eight years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he had seen too many of these things.
In this way, the Han army made a sudden decision and mobilized cavalry to defeat Zhang Yan's only direct unit. Then Zhang Yan himself abandoned the formation and fled. The other bandit leaders, who had their own agendas, looked for their own way out.
The whole valley was in chaos for a moment...most of them surrendered, and there were also some people who ran back like Zhang Yan after the collapse.
In other words, the camps of the two sides are only ten miles apart, and the valley itself is two miles wide. Therefore, after passing this place and walking through the narrow passage for more than one mile, you have actually arrived at the Zishan Army Camp.
Therefore, Zhang Yan was not worried that she would not be able to enter the camp.
However, he led his personal guards to escape to the mouth of the valley, and was overjoyed when he saw the scene in front of him.
It turned out that Zhang Sheng, Zhang Baiqi and his 3,000 men were already at the end. Seeing the defeat at the front, they actually maintained an orderly formation and were retreating from the valley entrance. They even set up a line of defense at the valley entrance to prepare for the rear.
...Zhang Yan was excited because she saw that Zhang Sheng's troops were completely protected. If they retreated to the camp, 5,000 men and women defended the camp, and then the 5,000 Rangers succeeded, then maybe there would be a real escape.
However, what is interesting is that seeing Zhang Yan's arrival, Zhang Sheng's defense line at the mouth of the valley actually remained motionless. The guarding officer even asked Zhang Yan to stop for a moment, and turned around to report to Zhang Sheng who was organizing the withdrawal behind him.
Zhang Yan was just helpless at first, because Zhang Sheng's troops were all Taiping Dao followers, and all the troops were Taiping Dao believers. They only listened to Zhang Sheng in everything. This is why Zhang Sheng can firmly occupy Zhang Yan's position in Beitahang.
Then, why does this general who is in trouble have to win over this person in everything?
However, when Zhang Sheng and Zhang Bai appeared at the mouth of the valley riding his white horse, which looked particularly dazzling at the moment, Zhang Yan suddenly woke up and turned pale.
Zhang Sheng stood behind the defense line of his headquarters and looked at Zhang Yan, who had obviously woken up. He simply said nothing and the two of them just faced each other across a military formation.
And suddenly, the autumn wind blew up the green mountains on the left and right like waves, and also blew Zhang Sheng's robe and beard under his chin. Zhang Yan looked at the tall and thin old friend opposite him, and felt that the other person was still as thin as ever, and his jaw was still as thin as before.
The lower beard is also the same as before. He threw away the nine-section staff and turned it into a knife. There is a white horse under his crotch. He seems to still look like the high-crowned Taiping Taoist who held a staff and sang by the road. This also made Zhang Yan
My mind wandered in the autumn wind.
After this gust of wind, Zhang Yan came back to his senses. For some reason, Zhang Yan, who had been staring at the opponent, sighed, turned to straighten the He Guan on his head, which represented the status of a high-level warrior in the Han Dynasty, and simply pulled out the sword and Lidu.
Ignoring the sudden sound of horse hooves behind him, he went straight to the point and easily cut his own neck open, then blood spurted out and he fell to the horse.
From beginning to end, there was no verbal communication between the two. Zhang Sheng had no intention of explaining, and Zhang Yan had no intention of questioning the other party... In the final analysis, Zhang Yan had already understood the reason, that is, although Zhang Sheng became Zhang Baiqi
, but he is still the same Zhang Sheng, but he has not changed at all, and he, the man in trouble, will change from Chu Yan to Zhang Yan, but he has already changed beyond recognition.
Between the two of them, it seemed that Zhang Bai defeated Zhang Yan, but it was Chu Yan who defeated Zhang Sheng first.
that is it.
————I am the dividing line that has changed beyond recognition————
"Taizu went to Jingxing to attack Zhang Yan, a bandit from Zishan. There were five thousand people, and there were twenty thousand bandits. He crossed the river and set up camp. At night, he sent a sentry and rode back. He heard that Zhang Yan's camp was full of smoke and could be seen under the moon. Taizu then knew that the thieves were about to attack.
Huaiyin's strategy was to divide the troops into a sneak attack. He also summoned all the military advisors to confront each other, but things were done in a hurry, and no one knew what to do. Taizu laughed, claiming that he had a plan, and would know it tomorrow, so he left in panic. The next day, Taizu gathered the entire army.
He destroyed the camp, cut off the pontoon bridge, and called the cauldrons to sink the boats. He sent the entire army forward and met in the valley. Zhang Yan divided his troops into half, leaving only ten thousand troops, and they were all mixed, so they were wiped out in one battle... The crowd finally understood and praised highly:
"Ming Gong's strategy is actually based on King Xiang's old strategy and the old wisdom of Lin Huaiyin Marquis." Taizu laughed again and said to him: "You are so wrong. Zhang Yan divided his troops and actually made a desperate move, so it is called Huaiyin's old strategy."
It is actually King Xiang's old plan. I abandoned the camp and moved forward, destroying the cauldron and sinking the boat. In fact, I knew the enemy's strategy and attacked its weakness. Therefore, it is called King Xiang's old plan. It is actually Huaiyin's old plan. Now, how can Han Xin defeat Xiang Yu?
