199: Blitzkrieg (M)
A few days later, Zhu Shou's main force entered Suning. After Suning, he entered the territory of Jingzhou, but now Suning looks very bleak, and the hope that he was originally going to get some grain and grass here to replenish the army has also been disappointed. Liu Chenglin didn't take it away, all of them were burned to ashes.
"Jie Shuai, Liu Chenglin's purpose is to make our logistics unsustainable, so that this battle cannot be fought." Xia Sheng, a staff member of the Jiedu Embassy, looked at the Suning grain depot with a broken wall, "This person has been in my Henghai for a long time, and he knows the inside story of my Henghai, so we must win this battle quickly."
Zhu Shou nodded: "I naturally understand this truth. There is no grain and grass here in Suning, so let Hejian, Renqiu and other places quickly raise 30,000 troops for a month to ensure logistics supply, and within a month, we must complete the war against Jingzhou."
Xia Sheng nodded, a month later, the autumn harvest will officially begin, and when the time comes, I want to fight, and this battle can't go on, tens of thousands of soldiers, I have to go back to the autumn harvest, otherwise what will I eat next year?
But after Liu Chenglin fought a battle in Suning, he disappeared, and now, where is he? Did you flee back to Jingzhou? The scouts who can be sent to Jingzhou have not heard from Liu Chenglin so far. I only inquired and learned that Jingzhou had completely abandoned the defense of Anling and other places in Tiaoxian County, and gathered all the troops to Jingzhou City, led by Sun Zhitong, and now he is seizing all the time to prepare for defensive operations!
Where is Liu Chenglin?
Zhu Shou was not worried about Sun Zhi at all, but Liu Chenglin, he had to guard against it, this was once one of the generals he relied on the most, and the ferocity of his combat was rare in the world. If he is in Jingzhou City, it is okay to say, the beast is trapped in a square inch of land, and the room for no matter how fierce it is, is limited, but if he can't catch the trace of this tiger, God knows when he will jump out of that dark corner and give himself a fierce blow.
After returning to the camp outside the city from the dilapidated Suning City, Zhu Shou finally knew Liu Chenglin's whereabouts.
"Ren Qiu!" Zhu Shou looked at his nephew Zhu Jun who came to report the news dumbfounded, and Xia Sheng's forehead on the side was also wrinkled into deep Sichuan characters.
After laying down Suning, Liu Chenglin waved his army to Renqiu, the two battles were similar, Liu Chenglin did not take much effort to conquer the city, after the fall of Suning, Liu Chenglin collected a large number of mules and horses in Suning, so that his soldiers had livestock to travel, and rushed to Daiqiu day and night, poor Renqiu has not received the news of the fall of Suning, and first saw Liu Chenglin's soldiers and horses attacking.
The old trick is repeated.
After breaking through Renqiu, Liu Chenglin burned the excess grain again, and then used heavy gold to envelop another group of young people, and then disappeared without a trace again.
With a bang, Zhu Shou overturned the big case in the tent, and the tent was full of horror.
The envoy in front of him has never been a gentle master, and it is common for him to kill people in anger and vent his anger.
"I already knew that Liu Chenglin was brave in battle, but when did he become so cunning and unpredictable?" Zhu Shou looked around, looked at the expressions of the generals, and asked abruptly.
The generals hung their heads and were silent.
"Jie Shuai, now Liu Chenglin's combat strategy is very clear, that is, under the idea of our grain and grass, tens of thousands of troops, people eat horses and chew, and consume every day, which is extremely terrifying. Now that Suning and Renqiu can't be counted on, where will he go next?" Xia Sheng looked at Zhu Shou and asked.
"Where do you think he's going?"
"I'm most afraid of him going to the river!" Xia Sheng said worriedly: "The information from Ren Qiu is already very clear, Liu Chenglin just brought more than a thousand henchmen of the armor soldiers, and after the two battles, the team only increased by two thousand people, if he wants to coerce the young and strong in these two places, even one or two thousand people can be gathered, but he only chose the young and strong among them, which shows that he still wants to continue to use this long-distance attack method to attack our weak place." Now that our army is about to enter Jingzhou, there is nothing behind him, if he finds the right way to insert himself behind us, and then fights the river like Renqiu, then we will be in big trouble."
"Suning, Ren Qiu is all because he was caught off guard, there are my troops left behind in the river, and now I have known the news for a long time, so he can help with such a little manpower?" ZHU Shoudao.
Xia Sheng took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Jie Shuai, now this person has taken two cities in a row, although we have only lost some grain, grass and ordnance, but the impact is extremely bad, and the river is even more different from these two places, if this person hits the river, even if he can't attack the river, but I'm afraid that rumors will inevitably spread......"
Zhu Shou suddenly understood.
Under the rule of Henghai, it was not very stable, and it has been suppressed by the army, and places like Hejian are the foundation of his Henghai rule, if there is chaos here, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of foundation overturning.
If you want to fight Jingzhou, you must first take Liu Chenglin, or at least you must force him back to Jingzhou.
"The generals will obey!" Zhu Shou thought about this joint clearly, and what to do next, he couldn't understand.
Ren Qiu, the successive victories, let Liu Chenglin's subordinates one by one as excited as if they had beaten chicken blood, every time they hit the ground, Liu Chenglin will always have gold and silver rewards, these days of income, can be worth what they have gained in the past few years. Even those young people who joined later were also excited one by one, and everyone was looking forward to taking them to another goal in Liu Chenglin.
The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and the three thousand people hiding in the forest are also hot.
The first general in Henghai is indeed worthy of his name.
"Childe, what should I do next?" Liu Changfeng asked in a low voice while fanning Liu Chenglin. This time the battle is completely different from before, when there was a war in the past, where to fight, how to fight, it was clearly assigned in advance, but this time, only Liu Chenglin knew it in his heart, it was him, and he didn't know why.
Liu Chenglin grinned.
"Changfeng, there is an important task with you next."
"Childe just commands!" Liu Changfeng Road.
"The scouts have already found out clearly, Zhu Shou's main force has begun to come to Renqiu, bringing together a total of 3,000 armor soldiers and 20,000 soldiers, their purpose is to block my road to the river, he is afraid that I will fight the river." Liu Chenglin Road.
"Now that we know their movements, then of course we won't go to Hejian, this time we have gained a lot, let's go back to Jingzhou to fight them to the death." Liu Changfeng Road.
"No, of course we have to go to the river." Liu Chenglin looked at Liu Chang, who was a little surprised, and said, "But it's not me who goes, but you go. You took the two thousand newly recruited soldiers behind you to Hejian Mansion, and among the soldiers, you announced that I had secretly lurked in another place to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, and you were just a trick to lure the enemy."
Liu Changfeng nodded.
"Remember, your mission is not to fight the enemy, but to run when you find them. Take them everywhere." Liu Chenglin said: "If you can't run away in the end, just abandon these people, and you can run away alone." Liu Chenglin said softly.
Liu Changfeng was frightened and frightened.
"Childe, why is that?"
"Zhu Shou came to block me personally." Liu Chenglin smiled: "He is not at ease when others come, for fear that I will find a flaw and eat him. But my purpose is not to be the main force of him, I will go back to Suning. Eat him where the remaining troops are."
"Childe, even in the left-behind troops in Suning, there are still 2,000 armor soldiers and 10,000 government soldiers, you have a thousand people, how can you eat them?" Liu Changfeng asked in disbelief.
"Of course it's not just me!" Liu Chenglin sighed angrily: "Don't you think that this battle is not like my combat style at all?"
Liu Changfeng was inexplicable, he had never thought about this problem.
"The entire battle plan was formulated by Li Ze of Wuyi." Liu Chenglin spread his hands, "And I'm just an executor."
"How so?" Liu Changfeng was extremely surprised." In this way, when Gongzi turned back to fight Suning, there was a large army coming over from Wuyi?"
Liu Chenglin nodded and raised two fingers: "A full two thousand cavalry, passing through the no man's land of Texas, are moving in the direction of Suning. Ha, Li Ze really has no last resort, and even the time is not far from ten. My 1,000 armor soldiers, plus 2,000 cavalry on either side of Wuyi, are enough to fight this battle. As long as Suning's army is defeated, Zhu Shou's attack on Jingzhou this time will end without a problem, and he will have to roll back to me."
At this point, Liu Changfeng finally understood the entire battle plan this time, whether it was to fight Suning, Renqiu, or feign to fight Hejian, the ultimate goal was to cover up the final fatal blow to Suning, the left-behind army of Zhu Shou, as for the two thousand young men who were temporarily pulled up, even if they were lost, it wouldn't make people feel distressed, right?
"Your mission this time is crucial. The longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for us, and if we haven't launched a final blow against the enemy forces in Suning, you have already failed, and then Zhu Shou will immediately react to our true purpose, and then we will be defeated." Liu Chenglin Road.
"Don't worry, isn't it just running? It's just a matter of dragging them to hide and seek." Liu Changfeng said with a smile.
"Remember, I don't care about others, you must give me back alive." Liu Chenglin admonished.
"Don't worry, Childe, I'm a cat, nine lives!"
That night, the army of 3,000 people was divided into two, Liu Chenglin led a thousand armor soldiers to leave quietly, and after dawn, Liu Changfeng led another 2,000 people to move in the direction of Hejian. No one doubted Liu Chenglin's purpose of fighting, because the previous two victories had already made these young men worship Liu Chenglin like a god. They only when this was the beginning of another surprise attack.
When Liu Chenglin's soldiers were divided into two routes, the cavalry brigade led by Tu Lichun had already assembled in Pingkou Town, and the cavalry of 2,000 people was all the cavalry that Li Ze could take out this time, and even Li Yu was sent out this time.
