Chapter 204: Encircling the Point for Reinforcements
Most of these generals are brave and unscrupulous warriors, and maybe there will be no problem in letting them fight in battle, but when it comes to giving advice, it's too far away. Ye Xian shook his head gently, he was different from the upright of other Mongols, but a cunning leader of Warat, as cunning as a rabbit. It was his caution and prudence in the battle of Fort Tumu that led to the creation of a great victory with fewer battles. Even if the king of the race has already lost the battle, and even the people are dead, of course he will not rush lightly.
He was not very satisfied with these martial words, but set his eyes on his brother Polo Mao's child.
The boy Polo Mao and the king of Saikan are both the younger brothers of Yexian. But the two are completely different in personality. The latter is so happy that he likes to take things for granted. But he himself is a man of few words, and he usually gives people a gloomy feeling.
Polo Mao is not good at talking, on the contrary, he is a person who plans and then acts, and is accustomed to observing others first, and then making what he thinks is the most correct decision based on everyone's performance.
But anyone who is good at observing others generally has a very accurate intuition. After feeling Yexian's gaze fall on him, he turned pale, "Brother, the younger brother also thinks that what General Naigong and the others said is true." Our advantage now is that our troops are strong and strong, as long as we take a steady and steady approach, the capture of the Ming Jingshi is just around the corner. ”
"How do you do it steadily?" I value my brother's opinion very much.,And I asked first.。
"In the words of the Han Chinese, it is called step by step." Obviously, Polo Mao had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart, and when the eldest brother asked, he gave the answer without hesitation.
"Step-by-step?" I was also very interested in this statement, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”
"Yes. In fact, the method is very simple, in order to prevent the previous defeat of the Ming Dynasty from happening to ourselves, we can take a divided march, that is, an army in the front, an army in the center, and an army in the rear, so that no matter which army is attacked, we can take care of each other and support each other. If we don't encounter an attack along the way, we will enter the Daming Jingshi in batches. Remember, don't learn from the king of the magazine, don't stop, just blindly attack, if something really goes wrong and retreat, the army behind you will naturally support it with all its might. ”
"Not bad, not bad." Listening to the opinion of the child Polo Mao, he nodded in agreement at first. Dividing the march into three groups in this way can ensure that no matter what goes wrong, the main force of Warat will be especially there, and there will be no annihilation of the whole army. When he figured out the benefits of this art of war, he also laughed first, "Okay, that is, do as you say." In this way, General Naigong led the battle with 10,000 men, Polo Mao Na brought 20,000 men to the Chinese army, and the leader brought other men and horses to ensure everyone's safety. ”
"Yes." After the military order was given, the generals put their right hands on their chests and saluted the leader.
There was a change in the tactics of war, and the Warat army, which was supposed to come to Beijing at dusk on the second day, did not arrive as scheduled. On the contrary, the personnel of the Security Bureau who were sent to kill three horses sent back important news, and the Warat army actually came to the Beijing division in three echelons in a progressive manner.
In the mercenary compound, Yang Chendong and Commander Leng Song and others were waiting for news from the front line. This time it was the main force of the Warat army, and it was difficult to use the previous method of "roll call" to deal with them, and this time it would be a knife-to-knife and gun-to-gun battle.
Emperor Zhu Qiyu has sent people to inquire about the situation more than once, and eunuch Jin Ying has taken the initiative to come once. Because Yang Chendong was here, he just took a look and left. Leng Song had told him before that it was better not to let the loyal marquis know about the deal between them, otherwise, with the reason that this person had an excellent relationship with the leader of the mercenary army, he was likely to come forward to sabotage it, and then it might be a big deal.
This is, of course, what Yang Chendong meant. Even the cooperation with Zhu Qiyu should be as mysterious as possible, in his opinion, the more mysterious things are, the more people will believe that this is true, and there will be no doubts.
Jin Ying really listened to Leng Song's words, and when she saw Yang Chendong here, she took the initiative to withdraw. Before leaving, he also gave Leng Song a look that only the two of them understood. In this regard, Yang Chendong Yuguang had already seen it, but he still looked at his nose with his eyes, and his nose and heart were not seen.
While everyone was waiting, the news from the Security Bureau finally came back. When he learned that the Wara army did not join forces in one place, but marched forward in three groups by dividing the troops, Yang Chendong, who heard the news, couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and laugh.
I had been worried that the Wara army would come to a collective charge, if this was the case, with only 10,000 Ming troops in his hands and 400 Leng Feng, I am afraid that it would be really difficult to ensure the integrity of the twelve gates of the Beijing Division. As for going out to find fighters, the difference in numbers is too large, and it is difficult to say that they can annihilate their opponents while protecting their own safety.
Even if you lead the army to fight, if it is only a victory, the requirements are too low. What Yang Chendong wants is a complete victory, that is, he will exchange the smallest loss for the biggest victory.
It does seem hard to do that. But now that Warat has taken the initiative to divide his troops, the situation is completely different. After the division of troops, the numerical advantage of Warat was gone, and Yang Chendong could fight completely according to his own ideas.
Strode to the sand table, and looked at the three-dimensional map that was almost engraved in his mind twice with blazing eyes. Suddenly, his finger stretched out and pointed to a place called Willow Town, "Right here, let's come to a fence point to help." ”
"Reinforcements?" Leng Song and the others were all excited when they heard this, and their eyes flashed with the essence of Taoism.
Once in the tactical learning class, Yang Chendong introduced the encirclement point reinforcements. This is an effective way to destroy the enemy, and it will only be used when the number of enemy troops exceeds a certain level.
When everyone was still thinking about the essence of the reinforcements, Yang Chendong had already taken a whip stick and pointed to the sand table and said: "Let's see, this place is called Willow Town, and the local people call it Willow Ditch, there is only one main road in the town, and the north and south are filled with huge ditches. It had just rained heavily a while ago, and there must have been a lot of water in the ditch there, so I immediately sent someone to go there, and if the ditch in the north and south was filled, I immediately notified the people there to move it. ”
With a categorical voice, Yang Chendong issued a military order. At the same time, Hu Mang had already walked out of the conference room and arranged for the fast horse to investigate the specific situation in Willow Town.
"After waiting for the scouts to come with specific news, we had a meeting overnight, and then prepared overnight, leaving us less than twelve hours to prepare, I hope everyone will cheer up." Yang Chendong's gaze swept over Leng Song, Xiao Feng, Teng Shan, Wu Sheng and others one by one.
"Yes." Everyone's bodies quickly tensed, and they collectively stood upright, and their eyes lit up at the same time. Generals have never been afraid of war, although they also want peace in the world, but the mission makes them never flinch when war comes, and even in their hearts they still yearn to make achievements on the battlefield.
The scouts went out of the city overnight, and now that the soldiers and horses of the five cities are all dispatched by Yang Chendong, it is very easy to send people out of the city. Two hours later, the fast horse returned from Willow Town, thirty miles away, and reported the fact that the ditch was overflowing, and that the ditch was two feet wide and one foot deep.
"Inform Deputy Chief Soldier Yang Guang and five other commanders to come to discuss the matter." Hearing that the situation was indeed as he had guessed, Yang Chendong's eyes flashed with determination.
Not long after the order was issued, Yang Guang and the six of them came to the mercenary compound, and this was the first time they had walked here, with a little apprehension and nervousness. After all, to the outside, this army is too mysterious, so mysterious that even they don't know much about it.
The darkness of the night adds a bit of mystery to the compound. The six of them followed the torches that led their soldiers to the conference room, so that they didn't see what kind of surroundings they were like at all.
When they entered the brightly lit conference room, the six of them lost their ability to observe the surrounding environment, all because here, Yang Chendong, dressed in green clothes, was standing opposite them.
Since the last time he defeated the Warat vanguard army, Yang Chendong has the name of the god of war, and he enjoys a high status and influence in the army. So much so that after the incident, Tao Jin, Yang Jie, Mao Fushou and Gao Li all regretted it.
I thought that the war was coming, and it was a very safe job to stay in Beijing to maintain law and order. If the situation is not good, you can escape from Kyoto immediately. But who would have thought that the Ming army, which had been defeated repeatedly, could exert such a powerful energy in the hands of the loyal marquis? Now it was good, it didn't take much effort to defeat the enemy and get the merit, but they didn't get any credit.
The extreme imbalance in my heart made up my mind that I would participate in the next battle no matter what. When I saw Yang Chendong this time, that sense of respect naturally flowed out from the bottom of my heart.
"It's all here." Looking at Yang Guang and the six people, Yang Chendong nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on Tao Jin and the four of them and asked, "Several, the big war is coming, you still have to bring some men and horses to guard the city and maintain law and order." ”
"No, no, no!" When Tao Jin heard this, he wanted to exclude himself again, where was he willing to follow, and when he shook his head like a wave drum, his face instantly became very ugly.
"Oh? So, are you going to war? Yang Chendong asked with a surprised expression. In fact, this result has long been expected by him. If there are benefits, then who will sit on the sidelines?
