Lord of the House

"The commander-in-chief has been running Jiangxi for a long time, he can withdraw to Jiangxi, he can take a sigh of relief, rest and recuperate, and start over. However," Zheng Mingjing placed his saber horizontally in front of the table and calmly watched the crowd. The military officers above the commander of the capital were called together for the last mobilization and military discussion before the breakout, "If we flee to the west together, we will definitely not be able to escape. At this time, someone must make sacrifices and divide the troops to the south to attract the pursuers. And the division of troops cannot be less, too few will not have the effect of attracting chasing troops..."

Qingshan Hedu is next to Gucheng. It is no problem to retreat to Gucheng first and cross the Qingshan River. However, the main force of the Huaidong Army bypasses Gucheng Lake from the south, and it takes an extra 20 to 30 miles. This distance is completely Not enough to let them escape to Nanling safely.

In addition to attracting the Huaidong pursuers, the division of troops to the south also happened to block the Huaidong Army's detour from Gucheng Lake to the west.

Everyone present has learned how fast the Huaidong Army is moving, and they dare not stay overnight in Fengqiaozhu. They know that it is inevitable to split the troops and break their tails to survive. bait to eat.

The big truth is easy to tell, but who is really willing to be the bait of the dead?

All generals were silent.

One of the bearded tigers stood up from the kicking stool and scolded: "The bears have a nest, the dead birds are facing the sky, and they are afraid of a ball. You dare not. I will lead the troops south, and I may live longer than you shrinking eggs!"

"Han Li sit down!" Zheng Mingjing ordered the bearded man in a deep voice, and said, "The troops and horses withdrawing from the west must leave tonight, and there is no time to linger here. Servant, military law is not allowed..."

"General, please order!" The crowd scolded the bearded man Han Li with a sullen face. At this time, they all said that most of them were reluctant to stand up and take the initiative to be the bait, but they also accepted their fate when they spread it on their heads.

"That's good," Zheng Mingjing looked at the crowd, the battle was so hard, the generals could still be like this, and they no longer fell into the name of the Eight Fujian soldiers, he announced the decision to divide the army after thinking for a long time, "Father and son join the army, father Keep your son and go; if your brother joins the army, your brother will leave your brother; the 'blind man in the night' is hard to argue with the night; if I stay, the generals will go..."

When choosing soldiers in the world, most of them choose one soldier from one family, but the She family has already used the limited resources of Ding Zhuang in East Fujian to the extreme in these years. , Brothers are also very common.

Soldiers and horses going south to cover other soldiers and horses retreating west must have the awareness to enter in danger without fear. Fathers and sons and brothers who join the army, fathers and brothers die, and leave the hope of life to their children, only then can they have the will to die!

Regarding this point, all the generals in the hall also silently admitted that the Bamin war pawns can deter the southeast, relying on the cohesion of the clan, staying behind as a bait, leaving the hope of life to the children, who can shirk?

"Night blind people" are commonly called "bird blindness" and "night blindness". The left-wing soldiers and horses are regarded as elites by the She family, and the supply is relatively sufficient. The situation of the "night blind people" in the pawns is better, but there is no way to eradicate them.

If there are 60 soldiers in a team, as long as 35 people suffer from "bird blindness", even on a moonlit night, the ability to march at night will be extremely weak.

There is a protective wall on the periphery of Fengqiaozhu, like a fortress. When the army entered Fengqiaozhu, I was not afraid that the Huaidong Cavalry Camp would rush in at night, but it was already dark at this time, and the Huaidong Cavalry Camp could not go behind, the Huaidong Army Infantry Camp. The main force will be surrounded by the night at any time. To divide the army, it must be decisive, and it must be divided immediately.

Eliminate all the "ye blind men", and incorporate them into the bait for troops and horses going south, and when they retreat to the west, they can rush to Gucheng in the same night, and after crossing the Qingshan River, they can also retreat westward day and night. It is not difficult to live for two or three nights without sleep; from Gucheng to cross the Qingshan River and burn down the ferry, as long as the Huaidong Army chases troops to block the east bank of Gucheng Lake for a day, the troops and horses can be safely withdrawn to Nanling if they withdraw from the west.

Zheng Mingjing's arrangement was not selfish in the slightest, and the generals could not refuse to accept it. The bearded man and the other generals pleaded, "A certain class is willing to lead the army south, please lead the army to withdraw westward..."

"The situation has to break the tail to survive. I can't bring everyone to Jiangxi without envy. I have already lost the trust of the governor," Zheng Mingjing said with a gloomy expression, "Don't be mother-in-law and mother, everyone will follow this. Let’s make arrangements. At dawn, the troops and horses going south will first leave the village to feign, and cover the retreating troops and horses to move west along the Xu River…”

****************

The sentries are scattered around the outside, the generals disembark in the valley to rest in the wind, surround the bonfire, wrap the belly in the broth with wheat cakes, eat to fill the stomach, take the capital team as the unit, lie down in the field in felt, and the horses take turns. care.

Zhou Pu, Zhao Bao, Wei Xu, Chen Daozi, Ma Pohou, etc. will stand on the top of the mountain and look at Fengqiaozhu under the cold moon in the west.

There is a protective wall in Fengqiaozhu, and the cavalry camp should not be forced too close. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to harass, but there is also the possibility of counterattacking by the enemy when they go out at night. Seeing this situation, Chen Daozi and others will hate it. spit.

Since the fall of Huizhou, in addition to Meng Yishan leading the main force of the Hanghu Army to fight a fierce battle with the Zhejiang-Fujian Army in Liyang, and blocking the main force of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army Middle Road for seven or eight days, more than ten counties in the south and west of Jiangning, They were all quickly lost, which made the Zhejiang-Fujian Army's westward escape route extremely smooth, and the Zhejiang-Fujian Army's left flank retreated very decisively, making it impossible for the Huaidong Army to rush to the front with a small number of troops to intercept.

The cold moon is like a jade plate, the rivers, fields and mountains stretch out under the moon, and the Fengqiao at the east end of Fengqiao Zhu spans over the Xu River, like an ink painting. There are torches all over the town. Standing at the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the movement of the left wing of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops retreating into Fengqiaozhu. There is no intention of resting in the village.

Zhao Bao came to Zhou Pu and said, "Lord Leopard, depending on the situation, the enemy army is going to sneak away at night! The city tiger can't arrive until dawn at the earliest, and it can't be rushed right away!"

"They run like turtles during the day, and they can fly with wings at night? At most, let them escape to Gucheng smoothly," Chen Daozi said carelessly. The army intercepted, crossed the Qingshan River, and before entering Jiuzi Mountain, there were still 123 miles in depth that could be used to intercept the left flank of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army..."

Zhou Pu covered his cloak tightly, and said to the generals, "Send someone to tell Chen Zhui to stop his steps, and he won't be able to eat meat if he rushes early; you stare at each other, the enemy has really left the village. Come on, wake me up again!" The squire took a blanket, wrapped it tightly, and fell asleep under a pine tree on the top of the mountain.

When dawn was approaching, Zhou Pu pushed the Husong to wake up. He got up and opened his sleepy eyes. Seeing Zhao Bao and Chen Daozi in front of him, he opened his mouth and asked, "The enemy has left the village..."

"The situation is not right," Chen Daozi said. "Open the gate to the east. A few soldiers came out of the village. It seems that they are going to flee south. How could they flee south?"

Liyang and Fengqiaozhu were located to the north, and the Huaidong Army chased out from Xiling and Fuyu Mountain, just to the south of Liyang. The left flank of the Zhejiang-Fujian army fled south to Ningguo, which meant that there was a great chance that the army would collide with the Huaidong troops head-on, and the Huaidong army would have to chase after fifty or sixty miles less. Unless there is an interception from the west, the left flank of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army will generally not retreat south.

Zhou Pu kept silent, rubbed his face, made himself awake, walked to the edge of the cliff and squatted down to look at Fengqiaozhu. Some of the enemy troops in the town did leave Fengqiaozhu and spread upstream along the Xu River. After the winter, the Xu River is not deep and narrow, but it is also the main stream between the four townships and eight miles. Including Fengqiaozhu and Gucheng, the Zhejiang and Fujian troops are stationed by three or five hundred elites, which makes the speed of the cavalry camp. Quick, but not in a hurry, if a fierce battle is launched immediately, the Huaidong Army will be at a disadvantage in terms of geographical advantage.

At this time, there was the sound of horses coming from the back of the mountain, Zhou Pu looked back, and a dozen people in darkness were walking towards this side. There are sentries up and down the mountain, and those who can come in are naturally their own family members. When they approached, they saw Chen Zhu, the general of the Chongcheng Army, Dengcheng Hu.

Zhou Pu frowned slightly, and asked Chen Zhu, "Why so fast, didn't you send someone to tell you to take a step back? How far is it from here?"

"The enemy is going to run at night, so why don't the turtle son hurry up? If we can intercept this army of soldiers and horses on the head of Xuhe, how can we fight smoothly next?" Chen Zhu said with a shy face, "Three thousand soldiers and horses I'm rushing to go at the back~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can come and listen to the leopard's orders with a stick of incense! Most of them can come before noon, how about it, not slow?"

"You hurry back for me, stop your feet immediately, and don't get close to Fengqiaozhu!" Zhou Pu jumped his feet in a hurry when he heard what Chen Zhe said, and could not wait to hit Chen Zhe with a whip, and stared, "Open your eyes and see Look at the foot of the mountain, this group of enemy troops is going to fight for their lives when they go out to the east gate, how can you fill up with three thousand horsemen running all night?" Then he instructed Chen Daozi and Zhao Bao, "The two of you take people to go with Chen Zhuo. Go east and protect your wings."

Chen Zhe was startled. He heard the enemy's movement to flee at night, and rushed over, thinking about the coordination of foot and cavalry, and the means of delaying the enemy more. Not just trying to escape. Chen Zhu's troops and Zhou Pu's cavalry battalion together had less than 5,000 people, unable to withstand the full-strength counterattack of the left wing of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army, and could only stick to the back and wait for the main force of the battalion to catch up. If the leading troops are defeated, the pursuit behind will also be in vain...

Zhou Pu's tone was so serious, Chen Zhu felt a little uncomfortable, and asked, "How did Zheng Mingjing know that I only brought three thousand troops here?"

The cavalry's ability to cover the battlefield is not comparable to that of the infantry. Now they can clearly know the deployment of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops around Gucheng Lake, but it is difficult for the Zhejiang and Fujian troops to know the progress of the Huaidong pursuers.

"You want to go slowly!" Zhou Pu didn't have a good look on Chen Zhe, "If you get into a mess, what will you tell me?"

Chen Zhe also had a bad temper, but his bad temper was useless in front of Zhou Pu, and he pushed back Zhou Pu in a bad mood. He could only walk back in a muffled voice and stay in the army - Chen Daozi, Zhao Qi At each point, the three sentry cavalrymen retreated to the east to help Chen Zhu guard his position. Zhou Pu quickly led the rest out of the valley and approached the northwest of Fengqiaozhu. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
