Chapter 1227: Coming Out

The sky gradually darkened, and the soldiers who had been hiding in the dry ditch for a day could finally get up and move their bodies, and Luo Datong also had an answer at this time. If they can successfully intercept the enemy halfway, even if they hold out for two days, they can not only win time for the second army to capture Fuli, but also leave a buffer time for Du Shuai to rush to the battlefield after annihilating the enemy in Xuzhou. And what prompted Luo Datong to make the decision to fight, as well as what His Majesty had said to him after the counter-attack battle, for the generals to be good at decisiveness, the most taboo is to hesitate, as long as it is conducive to the overall situation, even if it is at the expense of the part, they must fight resolutely.

For these words, Luo Datong has a deep understanding that in the Battle of the Seven Continents Ocean, His Majesty can sit back and watch the Xing Dynasty be annihilated, so that he can smoothly inherit the unification. However, in order to maintain the overall situation, His Majesty personally led the troops into battle to intercept and pursue the Mengyuan naval army of the fleet without hesitation in order to maintain the overall situation, and even though the battle was victorious, it was also dangerous and dangerous, and the slightest mistake would be lifeless.

After Emperor Jingyan became seriously ill, in order to maintain the unity of the imperial court and avoid splitting, His Majesty went to Jinzhou Island alone under the hostility of the ministers, risked being held hostage to inherit the unification after the death of Emperor Jingyan, and commanded the Battle of Yazhou, thus bringing the dynasty back to Qiongzhou, so that the imperial court did not collapse and disperse, leaving a group of loyal ministers and talents to serve the country, laying a solid foundation for today's restoration.

In the Jiangdong Battle that happened not long ago, His Majesty also lured the enemy with his body in order to annihilate the two capitals of Mengyuan, which were entrenched in Lianghuai, Henan and Shandong. He led a lone army to guard outside Yangzhou City, attracting the attention of the enemy, and secretly transferred the main army to Jiangdong to set up an ambush. However, despite the opposition of the ministers, they put the battlefield in the Jiangdong region against the public opinion, but in the end, the loss of several states was exchanged for the victory of destroying tens of thousands of enemy troops and recovering the thousands of miles of Huaidong, Huaixi and several states in Henan, changing the passive defensive posture.

"Luo Dutong, I can't eat!" Just when Luo Datong made up his mind to fight the enemy, Fang Sheng and Zhang Ping came together, and seeing that the food placed next to him did not move, Zhang Ping smiled and teased.

"Alas, every day I nest in the ditch like a mouse, and I can't eat it!" Fang Sheng sat down next to Luo Datong, picked up a piece of salted meat and threw it in his mouth and sighed.

"Oh, it's dark? But if you don't come, I'll go to you. Luo Datong realized that he had lost his mind for a long time, picked up the kettle and poured it with air, and wiped the water droplets on his beard with his sleeve.

"Do you have any ideas? Ying Tianfu's enemy has already arrived in Yongcheng, and more than half of the journey has passed, and he will be able to reach Liuzi Town tomorrow, only a hundred miles away from Fuli. If we wait another day, they will be able to reach the town of Qize, and it will only be forty miles away from Fuli, and we will face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides if we intercept it again. Before the battle, the three of them had agreed that the cavalry traveled quickly, so they were responsible for sending reconnaissance cavalry to undertake reconnaissance tasks, so Fang Sheng knew the enemy's movements very well, so he informed the two of them of the latest military information, but his words also revealed anxiety and worry.

"Yes, if we wait any longer, the enemy army has passed Liuzi Town, we can only set up an ambush near Qi Ze Town, which is already within the range of Fuli Reconnaissance Cavalry Patrol, it is very difficult to conceal the enemy, and in addition, we will be flanked by enemy troops several times our size, and you will all run fast when the time comes, what can we do?" Zhang Ping frowned even more. They were artillerymen, and when they retreated, they had to carry heavy artillery, and they had certain requirements for the road, so they could not outrun the pursuit of the enemy cavalry in the case of blocking the front and intercepting the rear.

"It's okay, you can't run away, just leave the broken back, cover our evacuation, and then fight the enemy hand-to-hand after defeating the last one, until the last soldier is killed. We will tell your glorious deeds to Your Majesty truthfully, and ask for credit for you, Your Majesty will definitely give you a wife and a son, of course, we will also take care of your family for you, you can go with peace of mind! Luo Datong also picked up a piece of dry cake, wrapped it in a piece of salted meat, and chewed it with a smile.

"Phew, phew...... You crow's mouth, Your Majesty gave you a wife! Zhang Ping said angrily. According to the regulations on pensions in the army, when a senior officer dies in battle, the imperial court will not only pay the pension according to the rules, but also seal the family members, so everyone often jokes about it.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's fight, or not!" After Sun Datong laughed, he waved his hand and said with a straight face.

"Yes, there is no news from Du Shuai's side, the messenger we sent tried to contact several times because the enemy reconnaissance cavalry failed to intercept it, and there was no order for us to do next?" Fang Sheng swallowed the meat and wiped his mouth.

"I think we should fight, it's not a matter for us to hide here for a long time, and the longer the time, the greater the possibility of exposure, whether to fight or withdraw should be decided early!" Zhang Ping also thought it was authentic.

"Doing without an order is a taboo in the army." Fang Sheng continued, "According to the time and plan, the road led by Du Shuai should have surrounded the enemy army, and Fu Li found no trace of the Hararu Guard, I think it is time to complete the task of destroying the enemy, but any cooperation should also inform us!" ”

"That's 30,000 enemy troops, how can you end the battle in one day, even if you want 30,000 pigs to kill, you can't kill them in a day! I'm afraid that Du Shuai is too busy to take care of us at this time, or simply forget about us people long ago. Zhang Ping pouted and teased.

"No matter why, now Du Shuai can't get there as planned, the question is what should we do!" Sun Datong waved his hand.

"Sun Dutong, then you just tell the truth, what do you want to do?" Fang Sheng and Zhang Ping glanced at each other, he nodded slightly, and he asked in an accentuated tone.

"Fight, resolutely intercept the enemy reinforcements!" Sun Datong gritted his teeth and said, "As for going without orders, I don't think it's a problem, the task given to us by the commander is to intercept the enemy army, and then cooperate with the first, second, and third brigades to encircle and annihilate them." Therefore, when the enemy army came out, it was only guilty of being let go by us, and if it was intercepted but failed to encircle and annihilate the enemy army, it was also a problem in coordination, but it was not our crime. ”

"Reasonable!" Fang Sheng slapped his thigh and said.

"Well, I don't think we can let Tutuha just swagger past us like this!" Zhang Ping also nodded heavily.

"Since we all agree to fight, but how to fight? Is it to cut off the enemy's way back, or to cut off his future? And where are the ambushes? Seeing that everyone agreed to fight, Sun Datong threw out a series of questions.

"It seems that your kid hasn't been in vain all these years, and he is getting more and more organized, and you have already thought about these problems!" The three of them were born in the marshal's pro-military camp, at that time it can be said that they get along day and night, and have experienced life and death on the battlefield, and their personal relationships are very good, but since then, with the reorganization and expansion of the imperial front guard, they have also served in the army, Sun Datong has not been promoted fast by the other two, until the formation of the fifth brigade after entering the south of the Yangtze River to catch up with a few old brothers, but he has been training in Shaoxing, and has not participated in the war, in the eyes of everyone, both he and the fifth brigade seem to be 'tender' a lot.

"Laugh, laugh! I'm torn my pants and stretch my legs first, the two brothers listen to it, if there's anything wrong, you're welcome, please correct it! Sun Datong smiled and said to the two archers, "Let's talk about the head first, or the truncation, this is the key to solving all problems, but to solve this problem, the first thing to determine is whether to continue to go to Fuli, or turn around and turn back to Yingtianfu?" ”

"Well, you're right!" Fang Sheng agreed with his train of thought very much, and he pondered for a moment and said, "I think Tutuha will return to defend Yingtianfu. ”

"Not necessarily, you must know that Yingtianfu is more than 300 miles away from Fuli, during which there are eleven counties and towns, each of which ranges from 30 to 40 miles, but it is almost the distance traveled in one day. Now that the enemy army has reached Yongcheng County, and tomorrow it can reach Liuzi Town, less than a hundred miles away from Fuli, and if it wants to be intercepted, it should go to the nearest place where it can be sheltered. Zhang Ping shook his head and said.

"Not really!" Sun Datong waved his hand and said, "You must know that the Meng Yuan army sent aid to Fuli from Yingtianfu and Xuzhou respectively, and the premise was that the Fuli enemy army rushed to the rear camp of our army, burned the baggage and grain and grass, and forced our army to retreat. And the attack on Xuzhou has retreated 200 miles, and the attack on Fuli has also gathered troops, and is also preparing to retreat to Huainan after receiving the Xuzhou department. Only then did they concentrate their forces to defeat Fu Li's army first, and intercept and kill our army that had retreated from Xuzhou, thus changing the military situation of the two Huai enemies and our army. But when our army was in a state of decline, he appeared behind enemy lines and ambushed them, so what would he think? ”

"If he hits the scheme, he will definitely think that he has won the scheme!" Zhang Ping pointed to Sun Datongdao.

"What would you do if you were Tutuha?" Sun Datong asked.

"Well......" Zhang Ping pondered for a moment, "if I am ambushed, I will definitely think that the enemy's withdrawal is fake, and then judge that he created a false impression to lure me out of the city, and then encircle and annihilate me halfway, the purpose is to capture Yingtianfu and even Bianjing!" ”

"If it were me, I would still think that since the enemy army would ambush me halfway, I would also suspect that the enemy army would encircle and annihilate the friendly troops from Xuzhou halfway, and the retreating enemy army would also go and return, taking advantage of the weakness to attack the city. In this way, Xuzhou will inevitably be difficult to protect, and if Xuzhou is lost, if it loses Tianfu again, then the enemy army will be able to drive in and approach Gyeonggi! Fang Sheng also expressed his opinion.

"That's right! Then, after being ambushed, Tutuha will definitely return to Yingtianfu as soon as possible, so as not to lose an important town that blocks the enemy's northward advance, and hold the city and ask for reinforcements. Although going to Fuli can ensure temporary safety, but if you lose Xuzhou and Yingtianfu, Fuli is an isolated city, and in the absence of reinforcements, it is still difficult to escape the fate of being completely annihilated! Sun Datong said, and the answer was about to come out......
