Chapter 25: Sinan and Sibei(2/2)
"Can we attack from both front and back...?"
"It's impossible to attack from a flank." Liang Yuan continued to sigh. "The Han army has more than ten thousand, including six to seven thousand cavalry and three to four thousand infantry. They are all elite. Moreover, the river embankment is a bit far away from here after all. That is Bu Shuai Zhen
If we come over, they can also let the infantry rely on the camp to resist and delay us, and then use the cavalry to fight when Commander Bu has just crossed the river, and finally turn around to eat us! So Commander Bu came here, in addition to ruining the army in vain
Outside, it’s of no use.”
"Then...then why are you still deceiving everyone?" Uncle Zhang was shocked and still puzzled.
"So what can we do if we don't cheat?" Liang Yuan became more and more sad. "Dongwuyang is a small town and there is not much food. When the commanders occupied the cities before, they only wanted to have fun. When we hurriedly asked them to come out and gather together, they didn't do anything.
Instead of bringing food, I brought goods. Woman, I was chased back and forth by the Han cavalry in Henan. I came here empty-handed... Deputy Commander Zhang, how long can the city hold out? And if it can't hold on, there is no other option but to deceive.
Everyone, let the army take the initiative to go out of the city and fight in order to survive in death, what can we do?"
Uncle Zhang lowered his head and thought for a moment, but still bowed his hands respectfully: "Whether it's a pincer attack from behind or a desperate attempt to survive, Vice Admiral Liang can beat me ten times in a battle... Therefore, for Huang Tian's great cause, as he said, this time I
No matter what you do, I won't hesitate!"
Liang Yuan stared at the person in front of him thoughtfully, but was speechless.
Returning to Puyang, Henan, just as Cheng Li and Liang Yuan had guessed, just knowing that Uncle Zhang and Liang Yuan had always been lenient after leading all the remaining Yellow Turban subordinates in Dongjun, nearly 20,000 people, to be trapped in Dongwuyang, Hebei.
Bu Ji was already at a loss...
How does he know how to fight?!
In fact, the Yellow Turban Army is just the Yellow Turban Army after all, a ragtag group that has only been in force for two months. If the quality and armament of the lower-level soldiers are not very backward, then the military experience and ability of the top leaders are undoubtedly the weakest...
...If nothing else, it would be ridiculous to ask a group of religious figures who usually draw talismans and water to lead tens of thousands of troops, let alone formulate military strategies for local battlefields.
As a result, Bu Ji first had the intention of rescuing himself; then, a group of Yellow Turban soldiers who had relatives and friends there came to ask for help... In the eyes of these people, even if the Han army is powerful, it can still defeat 40,000 people.
If you attack 10,000 people, some will still be beaten.
However, Bu Ji still had not made up his mind at this time, because he still remembered Liang Yuan's words before leaving... until rumors suddenly spread in the city, saying that the Han army had abandoned Baima and Xiancheng this time, and was going to attack Hebei
After fighting this battle, he ignored Puyang and turned north, going to Jizhou to cut off the retreat of the great virtuous master!
Rumors have noses and eyes, and Bu has combined the information he knows, and is also worried:
For example, divination already knew that the leader of the Han army in front of him, Gongsun Xun, was the student of Lu Zhi who fought against General Tiangong on the North Road; for example, when the Han army withdrew from Xiancheng, there was a mistake made by the military academy. If Zhang Jiao was destroyed in one fell swoop, everything would be fine;
Another example is that in Dunqiu, before Weiguo was lost and the road was clear, Bu Ji indeed knew that there were some signs of the great sage's retreat in Wei County...
Once the people's hearts are uncertain, they will think about something wrong. For example, in the past few days, good news has come from the south, saying that Bocai Boshuai of Yingchuan won a great victory in the battle with the Han army, forcing Zhu Jun, the commander of the Han army in the south, to retreat to Changshe.
...But at this time, it actually became evidence that Gongsun Xun might send troops to cut off the retreat of the great virtuous master!
Otherwise? The Han army must have lost the war and was planning to change its strategy and surround and kill the great virtuous master in one fell swoop. But as soon as the great virtuous master died, wouldn't Huang Tian's great cause be defeated without a fight?
Of course, Bu Ji was not a fool... He also thought about whether it was a Han army strategy to deliberately lure him across the river.
but……
"But Wang Shuai." Bu sighed as he held the head of the city and headed north. "It doesn't matter if I lose here. The overall situation lies with the great virtuous teacher! Or in the south at Yingchuan... Let alone the victory in the south now,
If the great sage commander in the north is lost, what's the use of me defending Puyang? Moreover, this is indeed a rumor. The two deputy commanders Liang and Zhang in the north have lost their 20,000 troops. Will Puyang be able to escape by then?
The Han army surrounded the city in large numbers, but I could barely struggle."
Wang Du just wanted to speak again, but Bu Ji waved his hands repeatedly and said directly: "Your Majesty, I once heard Deputy Commander Liang say something in a book, which was very good. He said that death is inevitable for all people, and it may be more important than Mount Tai, or it may be more important than Mount Tai.
Lighter than a feather... I am already over fifty years old, and now I am raising my troops to fight against the Han. I only want to help the great virtuous master create the Yellow Sky. If the overall situation is not mine, I will act for the overall situation, so as not to die like a feather!
"
Wang Du sighed, but did not persuade him any more: "Shuai Bu is right. Not to mention that our army will defend Puyang and die in dire straits, and will be laughed at by everyone in the world. If we cross the Yellow River north, 40,000 troops will fight against 10,000 officials."
Army, but there may not be a way to win!"
"Does Wang Shuai have any clever ideas?" Bu Ji quickly asked seriously.
"I dare not say that I have a plan after being defeated in a series of battles." Wang Du said with a bitter smile. "I just think that there are no Han troops in Henan now, and Puyang has collected many ships before. Doesn't this mean that we can cross the river from anywhere?
?In this case, if our army crosses the river from Cangting and suddenly appears behind the Han army, the two deputy commanders Liang and Zhang of Dongwuyang will definitely see it. At that time, not only we will be able to support them with their support
If we cross the river calmly, we might be able to attack from both sides and win in one fell swoop!"
Bu had thought over and over again, but finally he clenched his fist and smashed it on the battlement: "Why should Commander Wang be too modest? This is a very clever strategy! I will ask Commander Wang to command the boat division, and be careful to deal with the Han army's ships, and go to
Let's go to Cangting... Let's cross the river from Cangting and fight to the death!"
When Wang Du saw that the other party had given him a heavy responsibility despite his three defeats, he was extremely grateful. He immediately bowed down and vowed to obey him.
Three days later, Shen Pei, who was stationed on the Yellow River, personally sent the news that the Puyang Yellow Turban Army had flown down the river and gathered at Cangting to the Han Army camp outside Dongwuyang City.
After listening to the report, Gongsun Xun, who was sitting in the middle of the military tent, couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh. After he finished laughing, he looked at the three unfamiliar armored men in the tent:
"De Mou, Su Qing, and Cheng Lian, do you three still have to worry about coming too late and returning without success? In my opinion, we have worked so hard in the past few days, but it seems that we are just making arrangements for you.
Where are the clothes!"
Hearing this, Shen Pei twisted his beard and held his sword, and couldn't help but look at him again and again.
————I am the dividing line looking up and down————
"Xun was about to cross the river, and he stood on the embankment to carry out the process and said goodbye: 'The Han Dynasty is in danger. Just when a hero is using his life, Cheng Gong is extremely talented and should rise!' Li felt his words, but he regarded his age as his hometown.
After thinking about it, I should not do it. When I was about to return home, I dreamed of rising up from the sun in Mount Tai at night. I thought again that the character "Xun" was in response to this omen, and I couldn't stop sighing for the night. The next day, I changed my name to Cheng Yu to encourage the future and never miss the secret of heaven again.
