Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 693: Zhang Yue's decisiveness
Zhang Yue and the pseudo-Tang thieves have been fighting for a long time, and he is already very clear about the routine of the pseudo-Tang thieves attacking the city. Zhang Yue predicts that after the pseudo-Tang thieves arrive at the city of Fuzhou, he is expected to rest for a day and build them during this time. Simple siege equipment, build artillery positions, and start shelling the next day. After a day of bombardment, the pseudo-Tang thieves will attack with heavy armored infantry!
And once the pseudo-Tang thieves use heavy armored infantry to attack the city, I am afraid that the city head of Fuzhou will not be able to hold it for even an hour!
This is not an exaggeration, but a fact. In the past, most of the Ming army's cities were lost like this, including the heavily armored Ji'an Luling City.
Therefore, Zhang Yue can't give so much time to the pseudo-Tang bandit army, he must catch up as soon as possible, no matter what, he must shorten the time to less than three days, otherwise, Fuzhou will be finished.
But the problem now is that his troops can't continue to mention it!
The reason why Zhang Yue's department could not be mentioned is actually very simple, that is, lack of physical fitness.
The troops under Zhang Yue's command were not all supervisers or frontier troops. If they were just superintendents and frontier troops, their physical fitness was better, and they could catch up with the main force of the Second Army even if they gritted their teeth.
However, in Zhang Yue's department, there are still tens of thousands of guard soldiers and local recruits. They lack food and clothing on weekdays, and the old and young are very weak, and their physical fitness is not very good. It is impossible for the frontier army to maintain a high-intensity march like that.
Even the superintendent and the frontier army, their physical fitness is not comparable to the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the ordinary recruits and guards, young and strong.
The reason for the lack of physical fitness is simpler: the food level is not high!
This is the army that Zhang Yue tried his best to maintain supply. He dared not say that he was full of white rice every day like the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty. He had meat for every three days, but he could also eat two meals of dry rice a day, barely enough. It can be regarded as a full meal, and there is nutrition to maintain the training every three or five days.
The frontier troops fighting in the south are also elite troops. Although they are still called guards, they are completely different from the ordinary guards in the mainland. The supply in all aspects is relatively sufficient, and the combat experience is relatively rich.
But those ordinary recruits and guards don't have this kind of treatment. Their food standard is less than half of the supervisor's standard. Many times they can't even eat enough. After physical training, it is good to be able to practice once every ten days and a half month.
During the war, although Zhang Yue temporarily raised the standard of food to ensure the morale and physical fitness of the soldiers, but physical fitness is a thing that needs to be accumulated over a long period of time.
The recruits and the guards can't keep up with the marching speed of the supervisor and the frontier army, but Zhang Yue is also impossible to divide his troops. Let the supervisor and the frontier go after them first, and let the guards and the ordinary recruits slowly chase after them. If so, it would be a taboo to divide troops. If the fake Tang bandit army killed a carbine, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Furthermore, without the help of a large number of recruits and guards, Zhang Yue actually did not have much confidence that he could defeat the 20,000-odd main force of the pseudo-Tang bandit army with only 20,000 to 30,000 supervisors and frontier troops.
For safety's sake, his army must march in groups as before!
But you can't just watch the pseudo-Tang thief army arrive in Fuzhou first, in that case, Fuzhou will be finished!
So after much deliberation, he finally sent three thousand frontier army elite cavalry to catch up first!
He didn't expect these 3,000 elite frontier cavalry to stop the enemy's main force, but only hoped that these cavalry could delay the enemy's march!
At this time, Zhang Yue's tactical choice actually deviates from Li Chunjing's previous expectations!
Zhang Yue did not directly send all four thousand cavalry to hold them back as Li Chunjing had expected before, but only sent three thousand cavalry!
There are still a thousand cavalry officers on hand!
And this Thousand Governor Cavalry is still a huge threat to the Fourth Mixed Regiment!
More importantly, Gu Shizhong, who was in Fengcheng, knew nothing about Zhang Yue's strategy of dividing troops. When he learned from the cavalry detective that a large group of Ming cavalry had left the main force, he began to first After chasing the main force of the Second Army in one step, he also officially ordered the troops to move!
Four days after the division of the Second Army, the main force of the Fourth Mixed Regiment left Fengcheng and prepared to execute the battle plan to attack Nanchang!
To be on the safe side, his troops did not go directly towards Nanchang stupidly, but prepared to march west first, and then turn to head towards Nanchang.
However, after leaving Fengcheng, the traces of the strengthened Fourth Mixed Regiment were also exposed to the eyes of the Ming Army's reconnaissance cavalry, although the cavalry to which the Fourth Mixed Regiment belonged had already expanded the scope of peripheral reconnaissance as much as possible and intercepted the Ming army's cavalry. Scouting.
However, in terms of cavalry, especially in small-scale cavalry battles, the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty actually did not have an advantage over the cavalry of the Ming Army, and even had certain disadvantages.
The cavalry team of the Fourth Mixed Regiment desperately intercepted the Ming army reconnaissance cavalry, which also attracted the attention of the Ming army reconnaissance cavalry, and it was determined that there must be a big situation ahead, so more reconnaissance cavalry was mobilized toward the west of Fengcheng. search!
So Rao is that the cavalry of the Fourth Mixed Regiment has already tried to intercept it as much as possible, but it still allows the Ming army's reconnaissance to find the traces of the Fourth Mixed Regiment, and even approached the distance of less than three miles from the main force of the Fourth Mixed Regiment. .
Through the binoculars, Gu Shizhong also sighed as he looked at the scout cavalry of the Ming army fleeing in the distance. It was only hidden for a day, and his troops were already exposed.
Now, I can only hope that the main force of the Second Army can buy myself more time!
"Order the whole army, turn to Nanchang, and the whole army marches! Within two days, we must arrive at Nanchang!" Brigadier General Gu Shizhong rode on his horse and watched his troops start to change direction and start to raise his face, but his face showed no spirit. The expression of the wind, but with a strong worry!
It didn't take long for Zhang Yue's main force, located in the northeast direction of Fengcheng, about fifty kilometers away, also from the messenger who was already galloping all the way and exhausted several fast horses. The Tang bandit army went out of the city, and the number was much larger than expected, reaching at least 6,000 people.
"Didn't the bandit army in Fengcheng have only one regiment number? Why did another 6,000 people suddenly appear?" Zhang Yue immediately said with a stern face.
A few days ago, the scout told him that although there are fake Tang thieves garrisoned in Fengcheng, there is only one regiment number!
Zhang Yue is also quite familiar with the organization and designation of the pseudo-Tang bandit army. A regiment is only two or three thousand people, but now six thousand people have suddenly appeared.
Someone immediately said: "There is indeed only one regiment, but this regiment is not an ordinary infantry regiment in the pseudo-Tang thief army, but their mixed regiment!"
"Even if it is a mixed regiment of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, it is absolutely impossible to have 6,000 people!" Zhang Yue is very clear that a mixed group of the pseudo-Tang bandit army has only four or five thousand troops, and it cannot be 6,000. scale!
At this time, it is naturally impossible for the Ming army to know that the fourth mixed regiment has been strengthened!
Although Zhang Yue was annoyed and the people under him were ineffective, which led to a deviation in his strategic judgment, but since there were 6,000 enemy troops who had left Fengcheng, then you don't need to guess that they definitely wanted to go to Nanchang.
Now, although there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Nanchang City, their families know their own affairs. The defenders in Nanchang City are mostly guard soldiers and young men. Even the local recruits are only two or three thousand.
It may be possible for them to deal with the pseudo-Tang thieves army of two or three thousand people, but I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with the pseudo-Tang thieves army of 6,000 people!
Now how to do?
Is the army returning to Nanchang, or continue to Fuzhou?
If you don't return to defend Nanchang, then Nanchang may fall.
But if you don't go to Fuzhou, Fuzhou will be 100% finished. You must know that he just got the information this morning, and the vanguard of the pseudo-Tang thief army has arrived at the city of Fuzhou. If there is no accident, the main force of the pseudo-Tang thief army will arrive in Fuzhou tomorrow. The city is down, give them three more days, and Fuzhou will be finished.
Nanchang, Fuzhou!
Neither of these two places can be lost!
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yue finally gritted his teeth and said, "The cavalry of the supervising standard ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ immediately pursue the westward pursuit, and be sure to hold back the 6,000 pseudo-Tang thieves from Fengcheng!"
At the same time, he gritted his teeth and dispatched 10,000 infantrymen to rush back to Nanchang!
As long as these 1,000 superintendents hold back the advance of the 6,000 puppet thieves from the Tang Dynasty, then the 10,000 infantry of their own can successfully rush back to Nanchang to strengthen their defense, so that the safety of Nanchang can be guaranteed.
Moreover, the total force of the Puppet Tang Bandit Army is only so much. Since the troops have been divided into 6,000, it means that the Puppet Tang Bandit Army that has arrived at Fuzhou City has lost 6,000 people, although the total force led by him has also decreased. 10,000, but it should still be enough.
I continue to lead the main force myself, and then cooperate with the 30,000 defenders in Fuzhou, and I still have the confidence to fight the main force of the pseudo-Tang bandit army!
As long as the main force of this pseudo-Tang thief army is disabled, even if Nanchang is really lost, it doesn't matter, the big deal is to go back and get it back!
"The main force of the army will continue to advance eastward to Fuzhou, and speed up. It must arrive at the city of Fuzhou within three days. This officer will wipe out the main force of the puppet Tang thief army under the city of Fuzhou!"
After Zhang Yue made a decision, the main force of the Ming army began to divide its forces. The thousand cavalry officers left the army immediately, and then ran towards the west without looking back.
After a while, the tens of thousands of infantrymen also turned around and returned to Nanchang, and these 10,000 infantrymen were still all local guardsmen. Zhang Yue did not send even a single inspector or frontier army infantry to come back to help!
Because the current Zhang Yue, his goal is not even to keep Fuzhou, but to become the main force of the Second Army to severely damage and even wipe out!
So he had to bring all of the overseers and frontier troops!
And whether he can defend Nanchang, Zhang Yue didn't count on the soldiers of the ten thousand guards, he hoped on the thousand cavalry officers!
