Devil’s Advent

Chapter 1008 The talent of the younger generation!

it's night

The bonfire in the camp made loud and crisp sounds from time to time;

Except for the soldiers who were in charge of internal and external patrols, the rest of the national sergeants were either resting, brushing their horses, or sharpening their knives.

To be able to prepare for war calmly and methodically before a big war is already what an elite soldier should be.

At least, for Gan Jun, he really has a completely different appearance from himself more than ten years ago.

And in the handsome tent,

In front of Zhong Tianlang, stood a group of generals.

"Zhong Shuai, not only the Yan army from Anhai Town has come out, but the Yan army from Donghai Town has also come out. The Yan people are planning to fight us with their lives."

"That's right, Zhong Shuai, the Yan army in front of us is the direct descendant of Eastern Jin, and was brought out by the regent of the Yan Kingdom. They are indeed loyal at the moment. They know that there is a tiger before them, but they still march towards the tiger."

Zhong Tianlang tapped his forehead with his fingers, leaning back slightly.

In fact, it may be possible to beat a master to death with random punches in other industries, but it basically does not happen in military confrontations. Although there are similar examples in history, many times they are far-fetched.

As the commander-in-chief, when faced with an unimaginable situation, he can choose to do nothing and just stop here to watch your performance, or, you do yours and I do mine, and see who is the most anxious in the end.

As for war, generally speaking, it is not a rare and complicated thing at all, and there are only two kinds left after the cocoon is stripped away;

One is to attack the enemy in front of you when you have a comparative advantage;

The second type is a supplement to the first type, that is, try to gather your own advantages.

Zhong Tianlang is a general's son, he is rich in both tutoring and experience, although he has doubts in his heart, he is far from messing around.

"What this commander doesn't understand is that if the Yan army from the three towns intends to risk their lives and rush in to meet their prince, what should they do?

Break through us?

Even if they really penetrate us, how will they deal with the blockade of the Wu Family Navy on the Qianjiang River? It is impossible to cross the river by detour upstream and downstream, right?

If this rushes over, wouldn't the day lily be cold.

still……

Is it true that as you said, they don't care about it at all, just to be loyal to that person? "

Zhong Tianlang took a sip of tea,

"The Yan army from Anhai Town came out first, and the sentry cavalry came to report, and they rushed to our right army. The Yan army from Donghai Town came out later, and they rushed to our left army.

But the main force of the Yan army in the three towns stopped in front of us inexplicably.

Go out of town first, then stop, and even arch a little more in front of us.

Ben Shuai really didn't understand what this meant.

If he wants to contain our central army so as to win more room for maneuver for his friendly forces on both wings?

But if he really had this goal, why didn't he just stick to the city, wouldn't the containment effect be greater, and he could advance and retreat more freely?

You have to leave the city, give up the city to us, and then turn around and come back...

What is the purpose of doing this?

Ben Shuai thought about it for a long time, and he had a guess in his heart. You might laugh when you say it. "

"Shuai Zhong please show me."

"Please make it clear, Commander-in-Chief."

"That's why this commander thinks that the Yan army in the three towns may... have internal strife.

Due to internal strife, no one obeyed the other, and finally became... in a simple sense, fighting each other. "

"..." Generals.

All the generals in the commander's tent fell silent for a moment.

They came to this conclusion to their commander-in-chief, which is somewhat... unacceptable.

Infighting? Each fights

Shouldn't this be... a situation that only happens when we do things ourselves?

What's the matter, the people of Yan are also fighting among themselves?

Looking at the reactions of his generals, Zhong Tianlang didn't feel angry, not even surprised.

The incident a hundred years ago is not counted. In the past ten years or so, Ganren has been frightened by the people of Yan, and he can really be counted, that is, the great victory in Liangdi. After a great victory, the regent brought Shangjing directly.

these years,

The status of the military generals of the Qian State has been improved, the quality of the armor of the Qian army has improved, the swords of the soldiers have become sharper, and the military pay has also been paid more adequately;

But in the bottom of my heart, I have never been able to bring up the vigor facing the Yan people.

Once on the battlefield,

Seeing the black dragon flag of the Yan people,

His momentum immediately weakened by three points,

If he saw the Wang Banner of the Regent of Yan Kingdom again, he would drop two points in a row;

Therefore, facing the Jindong Yan army, there was basically only five points of morale left before the battle.

But the more you look at them like this,

The more Zhong Tianlang felt, he...should have guessed right.

"We are all human beings, and we are all Qiu Ba. Even, unlike barbarians and savages, we all speak the same words. If we stretch it a little further, we all have the same ancestor more than 800 years ago.

We can make mistakes, why can't Yan people make mistakes? "

Zhong Tianlang stood up from his handsome seat,

He reached out and ordered two generals:

"This commander ordered you to lead five thousand riders and turn back to the south!"

"The general obeys orders!"

"You, lead five thousand riders, and turn back to the north."

"The general obeys orders!"

"The two armies on the left and right, the commander-in-chief has already ordered them to follow every step of the way, not to let go...

Heh, if you want to come to them, you have to be scared to death, how dare you underestimate any enemy.

It is estimated that they may be dozens of miles away from the position that the commander-in-chief planned.

However, this is fine, as long as they can stabilize and withstand the offensive of the Yan people;

You two, take advantage of the situation and copy from behind the Yan people, give it to me, and swallow these two Yan troops first! "

"The last general takes orders!"

The two armies on the left and right each had more than 20,000 horses, while the two wings of the Yan people only had about 5,000 horses. However, Zhong Tianlang really dare not be overly optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the local army in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even if you have five times the number, you can't say that you can be rolled up by the Yan people.

Therefore, he finally decided to deploy two soldiers and horses to double-team, one is to appease the left and right armies, and the other is to eat the meat delivered to the door first.

immediately,

Zhong Tianlang gave another order,

"Send the order, the army will press forward before dawn, I want to see if the Yan army in front of me dares to fight!"

This is what the general does,

In fact, each other is a gun protruding from their respective fronts, providing strategic support for their respective wings.

The discussion of the commander-in-chief was over, and all the generals received the commander-in-chief to retreat.

Zhong Tianlang sat alone on the handsome seat,

He was playing with a jade wrench in his hand.

This finger was given by the first emperor when he married the princess.

At that time, his father had just died, and then his uncle's life stained the title of Marquis An Dong from the Yan people.

In addition, the Western Army was relocated northward early, and the family base was empty.

It can be said that at that time, if the first emperor had not married the princess first, and then continued to push behind, Zhong Tianlang, even if he was still in the army, would not be as decent as he is today.

However, it was the first emperor who valued supporting and caring for him so much, in fact, he personally led the army to force him to abdicate, and even... forced him to death.

"The first emperor...you are disheartened."

Zhong Tianlang still remembered the words that the late emperor said on the back mountain road before the "disarmament".

"But we are not reconciled. I will work hard, and I will still be able to compete."

After Zhong Tianlang muttered to himself,

Laughing self-deprecatingly again,

"If the surname Zheng changed my position, there would be no need for an army of 30,000 to resist with 15,000 troops on the opposite side. I'm afraid it would be 10,000, and it would be the sky."

Zhong Tianlang didn't want to use any difference in the soldiers and horses under his command to justify himself.

He covered his face with his hands,

let out a long sigh,

road:

"Actually, I'm also afraid in my heart."

...

The two armies faced each other, and they were both cavalry legions. The sentinels of the two sides fought together early, and because the distance was too close, there were actually not many secrets between them.

"Looking at the posture of the army, they are going to find me for a decisive battle tomorrow morning."

Chen Xianba looked at the bonfire in front of him, and the light of the fire shone on his face, flickering on and off.

When Zheng Man led his troops to attack, he was angry;

And after Tiantian also made the same choice, Chen Xianba lost the slightest bit of anger in his heart.

It's not because Tiantian's identity is special...

Although people with discerning eyes know it well, even Zheng Man himself knows that although his adoptive son has changed his surname, in the heart of the prince, his status is definitely far inferior to Tian Tian, whose surname is Tian.

Chen Xianba has realized it.

Zheng Man's wolf cub might really go mad suddenly, but Tiantian, he will never... If what he got in his hand was really obeying his general's order.

That is to say...

Very likely,

What Tian Tian and Zheng Man had in their hands was the same as theirs... an empty kit.

After thinking about this point, Chen Xianba almost had a mouthful of blood in his chest, and he almost spit out, but he held back, even though his face was flushed.

After all, he still didn't dare to disobey or even doubt the prince's order,

Even because of this empty bag, the situation in front of him has become very...passive.

Originally, the total number of soldiers and horses in my three towns was more than 25,000, which was enough to break arms with the Qianjun. Although there were many soldiers and a lot of cavalry this time, Chen Xianba was a qualified hunter. He believed that with his own ability, he could find an opportunity to bite off a big mouthful of meat from the opposite Ganjun.

But right now, he lost both wings, and was resisted by the Qian army and the middle army.

The strategic space was instantly compressed into an extremely embarrassing situation.

tomorrow,

Either retreat eastward for a long distance,

or,

You have to bite the bullet and start a cavalry battle here with Gan Ren.

Chen Xianba is not afraid of tough battles, on the contrary, he likes to fight challenging opponents, which will give him greater self-satisfaction.

But war is not a martial arts contest,

Right now, the arrangements for the Gan people are very clear. With the cavalry regiment led by the son-in-law and tens of thousands of Jiangnan miscellaneous soldiers, they will lay across the Jiangdong to stop the troops on their side.

Then calmly used the superior elite force to take down Jinghai City and deal with his own prince.

Even though there are only half of the enemy's troops under his command, Chen Xianba dares to stand up for that horse and fight.

But after finishing it...

I'm ruined myself,

What else do you use to continue to contain the army, what else do you use to respond and meet your own prince?

If you really want to trade your life for your life at this time, even if it is one for two, the dry person will have to wake up with a smile!

"General, tomorrow..." The deputy general began to ask about tomorrow's arrangements. At this time, it was time to make preparations. Whether it was a battle or a withdrawal, arrangements had to be made first.

Chen Xianba shook his head,

Looking at the bonfire in front of me, I added a piece of firewood to it,

immediately,

stand up,

road:

"Let's withdraw, then my two stupid brothers will be completely dumped by nearly a hundred thousand people.

order to go down,

Make dinner in advance tomorrow morning,

Add bacon. "

...

There are three flowers blooming on the ground one by one.

In a rage, Zheng Man led his troops westward.

It is impossible for him to rely on the troops under his command to directly charge into Ganren's central army, but from the very beginning, he bypassed Ganren's central army and rushed to the rear.

Then, I ran into the Ganren Right Route Army.

The configuration of Qianjun Jiangdong soldiers and horses is in the shape of a character, and the two wings trailing behind are Jiangnan county soldiers.

Due to the limitation of arms and the fact that they were facing the Jindong Army, their advancing speed was naturally slowed down.

Fortunately, the coach Zhong Tianlang did not think of relying on them to fight tough battles. Their existence firstly widened the width of the battlefield and secondly provided two rear foundations for the Chinese army that could really fight tough battles.

In addition, if it is a downwind battle, it can still be used to instill morale in them.

But when the situation on the battlefield was not clear and he hadn't completely disabled the Yan army, the grand son-in-law didn't dare to push them ahead.

same,

My family knows that my family's affairs are true, and as an opponent, Yan Jun also knows which kind of army is easy to fight.

Originally, Zheng Man planned to lead his own soldiers and horses to the opponent first, not for charging, but for driving and intimidating, trying to compress the opponent, a priori.

If he could scare them back, or if he could clearly see that nothing was wrong, then he could make another detour and walk south, looking for a breakthrough to cross the river. After arriving in Jiangxi, he went to Jinghai City to find his prince.

But the idea is very plump, but the reality is more skinny than the skinny women that Zheng Man has always disliked.

It is undisputed that the army on the opposite side is indeed a... very poor army.

But the problem is that they themselves have a very clear self-knowledge of themselves.

From the generals down to the ordinary soldiers, they all felt that they were no match for the Yan people, so they strictly followed the military orders of the son-in-law and underestimated the enemy?

nonexistent!

Not only that, their progress is also slow;

In addition, Chen Xianba's active retreat caused Zhong Tianlang to push out first, so the "pin" shape and the front and rear "mouths" were stretched too long.

And these cadres are walking slowly, but they know the current affairs, and this army camp was built...

Zheng Man personally observed before the battle. The opponent's army camp was not built in an orderly manner, and even some places were not in line with common sense. Obviously, this army does not have rich experience in confrontation. It is absolutely impossible to build such a military stronghold with soldiers and horses in the border town;

But the problem is, people are close enough and deep enough;

The fence and barriers were really willing to spend the money, and the trenches were dug... and I was really willing to work hard.

No wonder the marching speed of this cadre army is slow, I am afraid that too much effort is simply wasted on "step by step".

And after the early warning, it doesn't matter whether it is a large army of the Yan army or a partial division, it is a terrible existence for them, so all precautions have been tightened early.

However, it is precisely this kind of situation that is the most troublesome. They are so thorough that you have no chance to take advantage of it. If Zheng Man's military strength is strong enough and there are enough soldiers and horses, he will push down this military stronghold It's not very difficult, but he doesn't have many soldiers under his command, so he can only become a pancake, and he can't achieve the desired effect while paying a huge price.

The most important thing is, if there is no way to form a deterrent in the momentum and make these county soldiers suffer a little bit to vent their anger, Zheng Man believes that when he bypasses the past, this "turtle" army will inevitably follow him slowly. embellished.

And in order to avoid the Wu family's navy, I must go far upstream. When I get to a suitable ferry, I have to make some preparations to cross the river. It will become a situation where the tortoise is chasing the rabbit to death.

Zheng Man values love and affection, but he is not stupid. After all, he has been working under Zheng Fan for so many years, and he has also been trained by Jin Shuke, so he can't be content to die.

To die, at least you have to die with some value, at least you have to die in front of the foster father, so that the foster father can hear it, right?

Without much hesitation,

Zheng Man gritted his teeth,

ordered:

"Pass down the order and bypass the army in front of you."

"General, do you want to go south?"

Zheng Man glared at him,

road:

"No, go north!"

...

The sentinel came to report, and the Yan army withdrew.

The guards in the military village let out a long sigh of relief;

In the middle of the night, a military report came from outside, saying that a large-scale cavalry was approaching, and the heart of the general was raised again.

However, it was immediately found out that it was the army of the son-in-law, and the generals wept with joy.

And the chief general of this dry army cavalry arrived and found that the Yan army did not attack his own right army. He was a little surprised, but after seeing the tightness and scale of the right army's army camp, he was not surprised. .

Anyone who is not a fool is probably unwilling to rush into this kind of army formation.

"The order is that the Yan army must have detoured south, let's chase south!"

...

A similar scene appeared on the other side at the same time.

The two Jiangnan County soldiers of the Gan Army carried out Congxin's tactics to the extreme. After seeing this kind of army camp every day, they even felt that their hands were a little sore.

Just don't cut people... Just clearing these fences and ditches and walking over, I'm afraid I'll die half my life.

Tiantian looked back and looked behind him, and ordered:

"Detour south!"

Also not long after, the Qianjun who was originally dispatched to attack the Yan army finally chose to continue the chase northward.

...

The generals of the new generation of Wangfu are almost dominated by Chen Xianba, Zheng Man and Tiantian.

One is Genzheng Miaohong, who can be regarded as the undoubted direct descendants of the direct descendants. Both of them have been raised since childhood, that is, Chen Xianba, who was originally a wild "marriage", has long been raised as poultry by the palace with love.

The second is the extraordinary talent. After all, the talents of Chen Xianba and Tiantian were verified by the prophecy.

they are young,

they are bold,

They are gifted,

The regent once said frightfully to the blind man that he had two and a half champions under him.

Even if Zheng Man is not suitable to be the coach to take over the overall situation, it is absolutely no problem to be the chief general along the way, leading the army to make detours and so on.

So strictly speaking,

Zheng Fan's "empty kit" was actually a hindrance, causing confusion in the command system of the three towns at the beginning;

But these three young men,

Under the premise that his prince (father) dragged his feet to dig a hole,

Relying on his extremely strong talent and sensitivity, he even forcibly opened up a new situation.

This kind of thing, the prince can't understand.

Because the prince learns to fight step by step, cautiously, trembling with fear, even after several years after leaving the army, he dare not try to command a war by himself, but let Commander Liang Cheng willingly be the mascot.

People who like to stew on low fire will look at the young boys who cook with high fire as soon as they come up, and while persuading them to know how to restrain themselves, at the same time, they envy their vigor.

In the middle of the night,

Tiantian and Zheng Man never met each other,

But in the dark, after they galloped towards each other for a certain distance,

Almost by heart, he made another decision,

go east,

turn around,

Since it is impossible to go west,

then,

Check it out at home!

...

finally,

As the sun rises gradually;

Chen Xianba led more than 15,000 soldiers and horses to complete the formation.

And Zhong Tianlang on the opposite side also stepped onto his handsome chariot, preparing for a serious cavalry duel between Yan and Gan,

Suddenly received sentry cavalry reports from the southwest and northwest,

From those two directions, two groups of Yan troops suddenly appeared!

Zhong Tianlang just thought it was a little funny,

It's funny that I was really ashamed in the handsome camp yesterday,

myself,

This is peeled off by the other party as an onion,

Where did the slightest trace of so-called infighting come from?

Yesterday, I allocated more than 10,000 riders and went out without returning;

At the same time, the two soldiers and horses in the rear were "scared" by the Yan people on the premise of walking slowly, making it impossible to reach the designated position today.

Therefore, in a certain sense, the dry army, which clearly occupies the superiority in strength, was abruptly pulled out of a short window of "evenly matched" at this moment.

Zhong Tianlang didn't feel that the sky was falling,

While ordering the Chinese army to spread out two wings to guard against the two rears,

He also ordered a deployment to re-plan and live in Menhai Town in case of worst-case scenario,

Own,

Then get off the handsome chariot, get on the horse, and raise the silver gun:

"Come on, we will meet."

...

And Chen Xianba also observed the changes in the army formation,

this moment,

He didn't even send sentry cavalry to find out, and he didn't say that he would wait for messenger soldiers from other families to come over. He could determine what kind of change the battlefield pattern had taken just based on this change in the army.

In the entire Jiangdong, the Yan army only has these three or three soldiers and horses, what else can they have?

It's my two stupid brothers,

At the most suitable time, kill the carbine!

Previously it was 25,000 against 40,000,

I already have the advantage!

Now, twenty-five thousand against thirty thousand,

Then why hesitate,

do it!

Chen Xianba rides the beast,

Raise the horse,

Instigate the mount under the crotch to move forward, as for the forefront of the army formation.

A similar scene happened in front of the other two soldiers.
