The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms
Vol 8 Chapter 33: After the war, the general is not the first time
The strong enemy is in front, the enemy city is behind, and the enemy is attacked on the belly and back. At this time, "night terror" is indeed the most feared by strategists.
But Xun Zhen, Sun Jian, and Le Jin led the three main battalions of soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers, they all know the military discipline, they have been well trained, and they have many soldiers in hundreds of battles. It's really not that difficult as long as it's set up in advance.
This strategy of "setting up a humble camp first, showing the enemy to be arrogant, and then using the night terror to lure the enemy" was suggested by Xi Zhicai. As for the first part of cutting Dong Qi's ears, cutting his nose and stripping his clothes and armor, and calling him The rumors and insults to He Ji were improvised by Xun Zhen after listening to Sun Jian's suggestion.
First pick the enemy, then humiliate the enemy, and then simply set up camp, step by step, Xun Zhen's improvisation and Xi Zhicai's established plan are combined together, and the effect is unexpectedly good, making He Ji's military commander immediately come to the conclusion The judgment that "Xunbing is arrogant" made He Ji also believe it. With this premise, the next "night terror to lure the enemy" will be ripe and it will be a matter of course.
After the overnight battle, Liu Bei, who knew the whole battle process, suddenly realized, and said to himself: "The camp turned out to be just an introduction, the night terror is the main topic, ... No, night terror can't be said to be the main theme, Zilong led the troops to capture the camp. That's the theme."
Although Liu Bei was slightly lacking in military strategy, he was an outstanding individual after all. After clearly understanding the entire battle process last night, he quickly saw the real focus of Xun Zhen's battle last night: neither camping, It is not night terror to lure the enemy, but to seize the camp.
Needless to say, the simple camping is just an introduction, it is to further show pride to the enemy, and the night terror to lure the enemy seems to be the key point, but it is not the case. It is also difficult to wipe out the incoming soldiers, so capturing the camp is the trump card, cutting off He Ji's retreat in one fell swoop, so that the battle can be completely won.
Liu Bei said in his heart: "The sub-long formation slashed Dongying's Sima and captured Dongying with great speed. After He Ji turned back, he opened the gate again, making it difficult for He Ji to distinguish the real from the false. A dragon and a phoenix among people! It’s a pity that I met him late, and he often serves under the monarch’s tent, so he has little leisure, because I can’t get along with him more.”
Liu Bei regretted not being able to get along with Zhao Yun a lot, but it was not because he wanted to dig Xun Zhen's corner.
He is currently under the orders of Xun Zhen's army. He has few works and few warriors. In terms of strength, let alone compared with Xu Zhong, Xun Cheng, Xin A, Le Jin and other Xun Zhen's right-hand men, even Chen Dao, Zang Hong, Jiang Qin, Gao Su and other ordinary captains in Xunzhen's tent are not as good as him. As for fame, although he is generous and righteous, he has gained some beauty in Zhao State in his early years and now in the army. Famous, but it is still far away from the "famous in the world" such as Xun Zhen, which is incomparable. Therefore, he has no self-reliance at all, and there is only one thing he thinks about every day, which is: How can Xun Zhen be reused to make contributions.
Therefore, the reason why he regretted not being able to have a deep friendship with Zhao Yun was only because of his temperament of being a hero and hero.
During the fierce battle outside the camp last night, neither Xun Zhen nor Sun Jian were on the battlefield.
Most of the main camp at the back were new soldiers. They were on their first expedition and had no experience in the battlefield. Although they had been informed in advance after nightfall last night, there would be fake night terrors at the front tonight to lure the enemy, but Xun Zhen was also worried about them. It would be affected and cause chaos, which would be self-defeating and self-inflicted, so he, Sun Jian, and Xu Zhong brought 1,500 soldiers to the main camp and took command in person.
It was not until dawn and the dust settled that Xun Zhen and Sun Jian returned to the front line.
The camp that was set up yesterday was hastily and was very simple. It was burned overnight by the fire. Most of the camps have been burned down, and the fires that have not been burnt have been extinguished. Limbs and corpses, blood and mud all over the ground, Xun Zhen was used to seeing killings, but he didn't have too many mental ups and downs, just looked at it for a while, and waited for the generals who participated in the war last night to come before him. Looking back, first asked about the casualties.
Dong Bing's elite, although it was an ambush last night, Xun Zhen, Sun Jian, and Le Jin's troops also suffered casualties. In total, nearly 200 people were damaged, nearly 100 were seriously injured, and more than 500 were slightly injured. Xun Zhen ordered: "Bury those who died in battle, write down their names, and send money to their homes to burn and bury them after returning to the army in the future. For those who were seriously injured or lightly injured, Fan A and Li Dangzhi were given careful treatment by military physicians. Don't be lazy."
The generals promise.
Xun Zhen asked again if there were any fearless enemies who did not enter or obey orders last night.
Xia Houlan, who was in charge of military law in Xun Zhen's army, was present at this time and replied to Xun Zhen, "There was no one who violated the order last night."
The three that participated in the war last night were all elites, and they were ambushing and killing the enemy, and they had the upper hand.
Xun Zhen nodded and asked about the military exploits of the generals last night.
The person who holds the credit book in his account is now Chang Lin. Chang Lin was from Hanoi. When Xun Zhen was the prefect of Wei County, the Hanoi native Zhang Yan, the former captain of the eunuch, died in prison. Xun You and Xu Zhuo went to Hanoi on their own behalf to hang a sacrifice. After Xun You came back, he introduced Xun Zhen about what he had seen in Hanoi and famous people in Hanoi, and talked about the name of Chang Lin. He made a special trip to his hometown Wenxian to make him his family chief. Since then, Chang Lin has followed Xun Zhen's side until now. During this period, Xun Zhen was deprived of Ying during his exile in Changsha. The Marquis of Yin, but Chang Lin still did not abandon him. Later, when Xun Zhen was restored to the title, he made him his family again. This time, he raised an army to seek Dong. gave him.
Chang Lin had clearly recorded the deeds of the generals and presented it to Xun Zhen to watch.
Xun Zhen looked at it and saw that Zhao Yun and Le Jin were the first in the battle last night, Xin Ai was the next, followed by Guan Yu, Liu Deng, and then Zhang Fei, Chen Wu and other generals—Xin Ai did not participate in the main battle. The ambush, but he was lucky, just like he forced Zhang Jiao to death, this time he killed He Ji, the main general of Dong Bing, so the military merit was only under Zhao Yun and Le Jin, but Guan Yu and others. above.
He nodded, returned the credit book to Chang Lin, and said, "Please write down all the merits first, and when the battle is over, we will reward them together."
After asking about casualties, military law, and military exploits, Xun Zhen finally asked about the gains last night.
On behalf of the generals, Le Jin replied: "Kill the enemy and capture the enemy more than 2,000 each."
Xun Zhen knew the news of He Ji's death, so he did not ask his whereabouts, but only asked, "Where is the captive now?"
"They've all been placed in prison camps."
After asking all the questions, Xun Zhen asked the generals to go back to rest first. After Sun Jian had dealt with the post-war affairs of his headquarters, he invited Xie Rong and Ding Meng, who had come with him and Sun Jian, to come over. The four gathered together. Talk about the next military.
Xun Zhen said: "I learned from the captives that yesterday He Ji sent his cavalry to Yique Pass to ask for help, and Hu Zhenru sent reinforcements to rescue them, and they will arrive tomorrow. During the war last night, I sent Yulang to lead the cavalry there. Thirty miles to the north, there was an ambush on the hills to prevent the defeated Dong soldiers from fleeing back to Yique, and to block the news of our army's victory. Therefore, if Hu Zhen really sent reinforcements, he would still not know why he had lost. .I think that destroying He Ji is not a victory, if we can destroy the reinforcements that may come, this battle is a complete victory.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the generals and asked, "What do you think?"
Sun Jian had no objection and said, "That's how it should be."
Sun Jian was also used to seeing killings. Although he was happy with last night's victory, he was only happy. Xie Rong and Ding Meng were different. Except for the battle of the Yellow Turbans many years ago, the two of them had not seen each other for many years. Having seen such a "big scene", and the two of them were not the main generals during the Yellow Turban war many years ago, this time they both participated as one of the main generals, which made him even more excited.
After listening to Xun Zhen's words, the two of them said in a row, "We will only follow the general's horse and follow the general's orders."
There is no opinion, the matter is settled as such.
Xun Zhen ordered all the ministries that participated in the war last night to hurry up and take time to rest. She also told Xin Ai not to rest for now. He and Zhang Fei led the cavalry to the hills thirty miles to the north. Hu Zhen's reinforcements arrived, and if so, where did they go, and on the other hand, it was to prevent Hu Zhen's reinforcements from arriving early, and at the same time to set up positions for the main army that would arrive later.
Xin Ai and Zhang Fei are both tiger generals. Although they fought fiercely all night, especially Xin Ai, who traveled back and forth for 60 miles, and has not seen each other until now, but after receiving the military order, they were all in good spirits, and there was no sign of tiredness. Qi loudly agreed, and went ahead to lead the ride.
Xie Rong and Ding Meng were in a good mood, everything was pleasing to the eye, and they caught up with Xin Ai Xiumei and Zhang Fei's physique, and the more they looked at them, the more they fell in love.
Xie Rong smiled and Gu Dingmeng said, "How come I and the captain of the school don't have such talented scholars and talents?"
Ding Meng jokingly replied, "I hear things clustered together. If you and I are Marquis Xun, then there may be such beautiful men under your command."
Xun Zhen laughed.
The divisions rested for half a day and set off after lunch. This time, Xun Cheng and more than 10,000 people stayed here. They half entered He Ji's original camp, and half echoed from the outer corners. One took care of the wounded and guarded the prisoners, and the other also thought In addition to the backup, Xie Rong and Ding Meng took the rest of the 10,000 new soldiers to the north hills along with Xun Zhen.
In Yingchuan, attacking the enemy's elite thousand cavalry was the first battle. Last night, setting up an ambush to lure the enemy at night was dangerous. In both battles, elite soldiers must be used. , the winning ticket is in hand, but it is no longer necessary to use all the essence.
Although the new pawns are not good at fighting, if they don't go to the battlefield, they will always be new pawns. Xun Zhen sent troops to attack Dong this time. Originally, she had a little intention of taking the opportunity to practice military training. Now, it is an opportunity.
There were more than 20,000 Jing soldiers and Xin soldiers in total. First, the Jing soldiers rushed to the hilly area, and then the new soldiers arrived. Soon after nightfall, the whole army arrived.
Before coming, Xun Zhen had arranged the ambush and garrison of the various armies.
Xin Ai and Zhang Fei also made some preparations for them in advance.
Therefore, the entry and ambush of the various ministries went smoothly.
Xun Zhen and Sun Jian led 5,000 elite soldiers to ambush on the left side of the hill, Xu Zhong and Le Jin led 3,000 soldiers to the right side of the hill, Xin Ai and Zhang Fei led cavalry to the south of the hill, Xie Rong and Ding Meng With more than 10,000 new soldiers, they were five miles behind Xin Ai and Zhang Fei.
Xun Zhen's entire battle arrangement was: when the enemy entered the encirclement~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he and Sun Jian would take the lead, Xu Zhong and Le Jin would lead their troops to rush behind the enemy and cut off their way back. Ai and Zhang Fei intercepted at the front, and Xie Rong and Ding Meng led their troops into battle.
According to Xunzhen's estimate, Hu Zhenru sent reinforcements, at most two thousand cavalry, and there could be no more. This hill is a must pass, and the enemy rides into it. Although there is a road in the middle, the road is not wide, and both sides are rugged areas. First, the advantage of the cavalry is lost, and then it does not occupy many people. He was rushing here, exhausted, and attacking him with more than 20,000 people on his side was an easy victory.
In fact, whether Hu Zhen will send reinforcements, and how many people will be sent, this is no longer Xun Zhen's estimate.
The sentry sent by Xin Ai just came to report not long ago: they saw Hu Zhen's reinforcements more than 40 miles ahead, about 2,000 cavalry.
It was already night, and the reinforcements sent by Hu Zhen were running through the night. Because of their unclear vision, it was difficult to travel fast. It was more than 40 miles away. By the time they got here, it was almost dawn, or It's already dawn.
Because of this, after arranging the positions of the various armies, Xun Zhen ordered all the troops to rest first and wait for the arrival of Hu Zhen's reinforcements.
