Yun Zheng roared like thunder in the military tent and beat up the tiger. This fool actually asked him to lead a group of people pretending to be a food transport team and pass under Zhang Zhi's nose. In this way, Zhang Zhi would definitely be happy
Rush up to grab the food, and everyone will lure him to the preset position to deal with it cleanly and thoroughly. Use Zhang Zhi to light the sky lantern. If the food is not attractive enough, he is going to let Xiao Li and some fragile young soldiers
Put on women's clothes... According to him, this method has been tried many times in Huanzhou.
The generals who filled the army tent did not understand why the commander was so angry, and even personally taught the tiger a lesson. At least Liang Ji and Peng Jiu thought this method was good and very feasible. Han Niu almost felt that his young master was jealous of the tiger.
clever……
In fact, there are not many strategies that can be used during the war. Tiger's method is just based on the greed of the Xixia people. This method has been used by countless famous generals since ancient times and has proven to be very effective.
"When Zhang Zhi entered Qinzhou, he went around in a big circle and didn't want anyone to know about it. He killed everyone he saw along the way. His main purpose was to keep it secret.
Why did he enter Qinzhou so secretly? Everyone in the world knows that we are clearing the country with strong walls and he can't grab food. Even if it is to cut off Fu Bi's retreat and pave the way for Wu Zang and Pang to capture Qin Wangchuan, it doesn't make sense.
.
With us as Fu Bi's escape route, he has no chance at all. He will only be surrounded by us and defeat each other. This is what I figured out. If for this purpose, there is no hidden plan to let his confidants take such a big risk.
There is no need to be dangerous.
According to what Tiger said, each of the 16,000 cavalrymen is equipped with a pair of cavalry. This way the army is equipped for sneak attacks, and it is a quick sneak attack. They are even prepared to escape thousands of miles away if a single attack fails. This kind of thing
I like to do it the most, so he can't hide it from me.
If they are here to grab food, it doesn't make sense. How much food can 16,000 cavalry take away? Not to mention that they have to fight continuously. If the cavalry loses speed, it will only die. Our Song Dynasty army has many ways
To get rid of cavalry that can't run fast.
So I think this guy seems to have bad intentions, and his target is probably me or Chen Cangdao's food. I'm not boasting, except for these two targets, I really can't think of any reason for them to take such a big risk.
.”
Wu Jie said thoughtfully: "Only by building a plank road can you secretly attack Chencang. If you don't hide Pang and attack Fubi in Qinwangchuan, you are building a plank road. The question is, what is Chencang?"
The general thought that Chen Cang was not the commander-in-chief, but Qinzhou itself. Once Qinzhou became a barren land, Fengxiang Mansion and Fengzhou would also be implicated. Even Jingzhao Mansion would not be stable, and the fragile balance would be broken.
, everything will come to an end, and the Song Dynasty will not have ten years to heal, so it will not be able to advance westward! Therefore, the general thought that they came just for the food in Chencang."
Jiang Zhe interjected: "No matter what purpose Zhang Zhi came for, as long as we kill Zhang Zhi, the plan of not hiding Pang will fail. Sixteen thousand trusted cavalry were lost in Qinzhou. I don't believe that he was not hidden."
Does Pang feel bad?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "How to kill Zhang Zhi? You don't think Tiger's idea is a good one, right?"
Lang Tan smiled and said: "There is no need to play tricks. The more bizarre we make things, the more cautious Zhang Zhi will be, and he may turn around and run away. It is better to step forward to fight in a disciplined manner, which may have a better effect."
.”
Sun Dazhi chuckled and said, "No one in this world thinks highly of the Xiang Army's field combat capabilities."
Yun Zheng laughed loudly. None of his old subordinates were efficient. If Wu Jie and Lang Tan were the spears of attack, then Sun Dazhi was definitely an immovable shield.
I just talked about the sidecar thing casually, maybe because of my personality. Wu Jie, Lang Tan and the others didn't care. Unexpectedly, the usually taciturn Sun Dazhi took it seriously. When he was in charge of the first army,
Soon, he built a sidecar according to Yun Zheng's instructions. Later, he took advantage of Zhong's family and continued to improve the sidecar. Now he has more than 300 of them.
The shaft of the side carriage is one and a half feet long, one foot wide and less than one foot high. The carriage is made of thin plates, with a strong crossbow on top. It is equipped for ten people. The left and right sides match each other. The front and rear are connected with hooks and rings to hold each other. Clothes, food, etc. are carried on the carriage.
With weapons and antlers, it looks like a long dragon.
There is no need to set up a stronghold when stationing troops. Just connect the side carriages end to end to form a fortress. There are deer antlers in the front, and in front is a randomly dug horse pit as big as a bowl and more than a foot deep. This thing does not need to be very long.
Large manpower and shallow pits may seem simple, but they are unparalleled weapons that hinder cavalry attacks and break horses' hooves.
Yun Zheng looked at the generals and smiled and said, "Does that mean you plan to fight head-on?"
"That's right, Zhang Zhi is not an incompetent person. We may not be our opponents if he plays tricks, but when our army has just formed, we always need to test our combat strength. Zhang Zhi is a very good whetstone.
If we fail, there will be nothing to say, it will only mean that our efforts over the years have been in vain. If we succeed, we will be determined to carry out this fighting method."
Lang Tan's words quickly won the agreement of most people. Only Li Chang hesitated for a long time before saying: "After failure, the consequences will be serious." After saying this, he saw that other people in the military tent did not care much, so he changed his mind.
He raised his voice and said loudly: "Gentlemen, if we fail, we will be doomed."
Jiang Zhe looked at Li Chang strangely and sighed: "If we lose, we will all die in the battle, how bad can it be?"
Li Chang's face suddenly turned pale. He turned to look at Yun Zheng and found that Yun Zheng was tapping the map and speaking slowly and softly: "A mixed army of thirty-five thousand infantry and cavalry and a mixed army of sixteen thousand and one horse."
Theoretically speaking, the army's combat strength is balanced. If you calculate it carefully, the side with more cavalry still has an advantage. This is the first time that gunpowder is used in field battles. Let's prepare separately. You want to choose your position in advance.
Maybe, Zhang Zhi will not easily take risks, and if he wants to fight, he can only do it in an upright manner..."
Zhang Zhi led his army to advance forward at a rapid pace. The land of Qinzhou was empty. Apart from plundering some refugees hiding in the mountains, he could not find many targets for him to attack.
The further he advanced into the depths of Qinzhou, the more anxious he became. Could it be that he really only had the only way to attack Chencang?
The army passed over the wilderness like dark clouds. This team was Zhang Zhi's pride. Zhang Zhi was not willing to divide the troops. Qinzhou was already in ruins. There was really nothing more to do. The Song Dynasty
It is impossible to cause trouble to Daxia in a short period of time.
Now that Anxi has been victorious, it is time to invest its power in Anxi. Only half of the Uighur land has been occupied. The Huangtou Uighur occupies the more fertile land. As long as the Huangtou Uighur is completely occupied, Daxia's national power will at least double. Why
We must fight to the death between Qinzhou and the Song Dynasty.
When he thought of the military order, Zhang Zhi had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh. The Prime Minister's idea was good, but it was very difficult to take food from Yun Zheng's mouth. It can be seen from Qinzhou's military deployment that Yun Zheng's power was
From Qinzhou to Qinwangchuan, he seemed to just want to keep Qinwangchuan intact. His army passed through Qinzhou on the edge of Qinzhou, but no Song army came to stop it.
It had been ten days since he entered Qinzhou. Zhang Zhi didn't think he could keep military secrets, so he gave up his secret march and began to march towards Qinzhou under the blue sky and white sun.
The general will not accept the fate of the foreign king. The good men of Daxia should not die on the cruel siege station. Using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong point is beyond the reach of a wise man. If he starts to attack Qinwangchuan to the Qinzhou line, he will not
I believe Yun Zheng dares to hide in Qinzhou and not come out.
As long as Yunzheng's troops are mobilized, they will always find an opportunity to attack Chencang under the harassment of the cavalry. The second brother Zhang Jiang's secret letter made it very clear that he must do his best to maintain the strength of the Zhang family.
, once the power is weakened, the Zhang family will lose all rights to speak in Daxia.
For this reason, Zhang Zhi chose Longcheng as his first target to attack!
Longcheng is known as the "Hometown of Emperor Wa" and is the birthplace of Empress Nuwa. Because it is located on the ancient Silk Road, it has been a battleground for military strategists of all ages. The street pavilion of the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms is within the territory, which is the center of Chang'an Pass.
The first important town entering Qinzhou through Guandongnan Avenue has always been a thoroughfare and post station with merchants gathering and convenient transportation. It was one of the four major market towns in ancient Qin'an. In the fifth year of Emperor Yuanfeng of the Han Dynasty, the Liangzhou governor was established in Long
City; Lueyang County and Lueyang County were established in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Longcheng County was established in the Sui Dynasty. Today it is the most prosperous military state in the Song Dynasty.
All the Song people west of Qinzhou were moved back to the east of Qinzhou by Yunzheng. Therefore, if you want to gain something in Qinzhou, you must risk bypassing Yunzheng who is stationed in Qinzhou City and march eastward. If you succeed in attacking Longcheng
, Zhang Zhi prepared to continue the attack on Chencang. If he failed to succeed, he would return to Qingtang with all his strength and not stop for even a moment.
The army hurriedly passed through Hanwang Valley, and the scouts kept reporting that there were smoke rising from the hills everywhere, with as many as sixteen in the densest place. In fact, without the scouts reporting, he had already seen countless streaks of black smoke rising from various commanding heights.
It looks particularly dazzling under the blue sky and white sun.
This kind of situation is not unfamiliar to Zhang Zhi. He had seen such a scene as early as when he followed his father and ancestors to attack Xingqing Mansion when he was a child. At that time, in addition to being excited, he was also a little proud. Zhang Zhi saw these smokes here and there.
But it gave rise to some emotion.
Li Qing, the general of the Ministry, rode over from a distance and knelt down to report: "General, the Song army has set up a formation at the entrance of the valley in front. The last general observed the enemy's formation and learned that there were no more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry. Please leave or stay. General.
Show me."
"Have you ever formed a stronghold?"
"The fork-tooth antlers have been arranged. It seems that they have been waiting for us for a long time."
"How is the rear army doing?"
Just when Zhang Zhi asked this question, he heard a thunderclap in the Hanwang Valley. Countless boulders rolled down from both sides of the mountain wall. Broken stones filled the valley. It seemed that the Song army was preventing him from leaving.
Zhang Zhi looked at the gentle mountain valleys on both sides and suddenly smiled and said: "Does it mean that Yun Zheng is not preparing to fight me decisively here?" (To be continued)
