2. Raid vs Raid
Zhihui avoided her and went to the inner room.
"After the festival, there is a clear news from the clerk Yisi that the Lingyunzha official army was killed and injured, totaling about 5,000. Wu Shaocheng said that he had won 10,000, all of which were blowing magic snails. Moreover, there were as many as 300 heads in Huaixi.
"That means that there are probably two or three thousand people who died in the battle in the Huaixi Army."
"Wu Shaocheng's bluffing voice means that Caizhou has ended its limits. As long as he hits him a few more times, the bandits will definitely not support him." Li Xu was very confident.
Gao Yue stroked his beard and expressed his agreement, but he told Li Su that the soldiers in Yangzhou were still on the way here, and the Huai River and Ying River were frozen and the ships were difficult to move. The eight generals and Ya Army gathered together to fight, and they were afraid that they would have to wait for the coming spring.
"There is no need for a general attack at this time. Just send an elite army to cross the Huai River and enter Yingzhou, disrupt the attack on Wu Shaocheng's flanks, and take the opportunity to recover Chenqiu, Nandun and other places. Wu Shaocheng's hands and feet will be in chaos, and the main force in Huaixi will be bound to Yancheng and cannot move. At that time, the Huai River will be boomed and the Huai River will be carried. At the festival, you can take the troops directly to Yancheng, and you will be unobstructed. The Cai thief will be surrendered."
"Then I will send a general, grant him five thousand infantry and cavalry to attack Yingzhou, how about?"
"Five thousand people are too many for surprise attacks; and they are obviously inferior to many thieves in Huaixi. According to the boy's opinion, it is most suitable to send two thousand strong soldiers under the ranks. If Wu Shaocheng deceives me and ignores them, I will make it easier for him to turn things around; if Wu Shaocheng urges the army to attack, I will make it easier for him to avoid the real and attack the virtual, make him exhausted and further exhaust the human and financial resources in Huaixi."
"It's so good. No, not only Yingzhou, but also to go west to Guangzhou, so that your brothers Li Xian and Zhou Ziping will command it, and use the three thousand officials from Shouzhou!" Gao Yue then said, "It's time for you, the rising stars, to make achievements now."
Li Jun understood that Gao Yue let them take the initiative to attack, and he was eager to try, like a tiger with his head out of the cage, volunteered: "Going to Yingzhou, the boy hopes to be attached."
Gao Yue thought for a while and said, "I use two generals as military envoys and you as military service, how about it?"
"Thank you for a happy holiday!" Li Jun was overjoyed.
The next day, Gao Yue called Su Pu and Xu Si two military generals.
In fact, there are many components of Huaixi in the bloodline of the Dingwu Army. After Gao Yue's Baicao Army defeated Li Xilie, he had collected many surrendered soldiers and generals in Huaixi. Xu Si, Tang Jingyan and Sun Bingqian were among them, and Su Pu joined in later. Now, within the Dingwu Army, Xu Si has always commanded the Mule Army Camp (Mule Army Independent Battalion), while Su Pu commanded the Fifth Battalion of Feishan and the Chesun soldiers.
Gao Yue thought it was very suitable to use generals from Huaixi to deal with the traitors in Huaixi.
Among these two thousand soldiers, eight hundred were Xu Si's mule soldiers, the rest were Dingwu infantry of two battalions and one battalion of chariots and gunmen.
"It's your turn to control the troops this time." Gao Yue said to Xu Si.
In the past, Xu Si and Dingwu Mule Soldiers fought in battles, mostly playing the side drums. This time, he became the main force, and Xu Si couldn't help but burst into tears.
Three days later, Gao Yue suddenly arrived in the northeast of Shouchun, namely the Qianshi City beside the Caihuai River, and paraded the military horses. Then he mobilized his troops to use various tools to chisel ice, tug boats, and carry bamboo ropes. It seemed that he wanted to set up a huge floating bridge on both sides of the Qianshi City, and then let the entire army pass by and attack Yingzhou.
At this time, Yu Boliang, the general of Huaixi who had captured Ruyin City, was very nervous. "He wanted to take advantage of Gao Yue's big floating bridge to ask for help from Yancheng."
Under the cover of "disguised smoke", Xu Si's two thousand soldiers quietly crossed Anfengjin beside the Huai River from the northwest of Shouchun City, and easily transferred Jingtingzha here and killed more than 40 Cai soldiers. "General Su can lead infantry, gunners, bluff, lightly drive directly under Ruyin City, and pick Yu Boliang to fight; Xu's military envoy led the mule army, disguised as Wu Shaocheng's reinforcements, and attacked from the flank. This can be accomplished!" In the Jingtingzha, Li Yan, a military officer, held Song Ming with one hand and drew a map with the other hand.
The wind blew again, and snowflakes were flying. A battalion chariot gunman wore a felt hat on his head, a chest-protecting leather armor and wrist armor, a decisive paper tube with divine thunder medicine, and a string of cloth bags containing wheat rice. He carried a wooden bracket and a snake-headed divine thunder gun on his shoulder. The muzzle was covered with thatch, lined up in several rows, stepping on the snow on the ground, followed by two battalions of infantry, palladium, spear, and long swords, serving as a support.
Xu Si led 800 mule soldiers, walking in parallel several miles away. The mule's hooves were stamped, and long traces were drawn on the snow, but they were covered by increasingly dense snow.
Along the way, they saw the people of Yingzhou who were sheltering in the wild. Without telling their true identities, they said that we were Wu Shaocheng's soldiers in Huaixi, who came from Xincai and wanted to go to Ruyin City for reinforcements.
When the people saw the tall mules in Xu Si's team and the four iconic slender legs, they believed everything.
In Ruyin City, Yu Boliang was anxiously asking people to inquire about the information of the Huainan official army in Xishicheng, while waiting for news about Wu Shaocheng's reinforcements in Yancheng.
In fact, at this time his messenger had already run to the city of Yan.
Here, Wu Shaocheng and a large group of Huaixi generals were forming a group, looking at the map, and discussing each other fiercely.
Because Wu Shaocheng's son-in-law Dong Chongzhi proposed a bold plan:
The main force of our Huaining Army came out of Lingyunzha and continued to oppress Qu Huan and Liu Chang, while I led two thousand strong soldiers to detour through Xiangcheng, cross Ruzhou, and directly attacked the eastern capital Luoyang from Yique and Luhun!
Luoyang is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. As long as Luoyang is captured, the Tang army on the Xuzhou line will probably collapse. Even if the prime minister Du Huangshang is in charge, it will not be saved.
In other words, Gao Yue sent two thousand strong soldiers to attack and disrupt the flanks of Huaixi and Yingzhou.
Dong Chongzhi, a young general in Huaixi, also needed two thousand spears. He played even bigger and wanted to directly break through Ruzhou and capture the Dongdu.
The surprise attack faces the surprise attack.
Li Yuanping's head was hot and agreed with Dong Chongqi's surprise attack plan.
Because his previous attempt to rely on the Lingyunzha Battle to force the court to compromise, he went bankrupt again.
As a gambler, even if there is only one bargaining chip left, he will rush out without hesitation. From bankruptcy to bankruptcy, it is the gambler's patent.
Wu Shaocheng hesitated a little, so he turned his attention to his dearest brother Wu Shaoyang.
Wu Shaoyang also agreed to his son-in-law's plan.
"The rise and fall of Huaixi is here to attack, and if you don't use a small force to fight big, you will just sit and wait for death."
So Wu Shaocheng finally made up his mind to attack Luoyang in surprise.
At this time, Wu Shaoyang added that the troops who attacked this time must be the elite among the elite, the best of the fang soldiers under the jurisdiction of the ranks. Then, I am willing to stand firm for my brother in the Yancheng.
Wu Shaocheng entrusts the two thousand soldiers to his son-in-law Dong Chongzhi.
In the tent of the bonfire, facing the envoy sent by Yu Boliang, Wu Shaocheng was very dissatisfied: "If Gao Yue crossed the Huai River to attack Yingzhou, he would fall into my trap. Yu Boliang, you can restrain Gao Yue's tens of thousands of troops and prevent him from joining the battle in Yancheng. If Tian Ji in the art of military competition is in line with the principle of military competition, how can he come to ask for reinforcements again? You can retreat."
