Chapter 196: I can't afford to hide
After the Xingtian Army was frustrated in the attack on Tuanshan, it then launched several tentative attacks, but because Huang Degong mobilized effectively and led his troops to resist very fiercely, in order to avoid excessive losses, the Xingtian Army had to suspend the attack on the official army camp in Tuanshan several times in order to avoid excessive losses.
Under the leadership of Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong and other generals, the morale of the officers and soldiers has also been boosted a lot after repelling the Xingtian Army several times in a row, and this time when Wan Yuan Ji and Kong Zhen will lead their troops to come, they will bring enough military food for a month, which will be stationed in the Tuanshan camp, and the water source in the Tuanshan area is sufficient, enough for tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to get water to drink, and they don't have to worry about being cut off by the Xingtian Army, so the officers and soldiers are not very worried about being besieged in this place by the Xingtian Army, so the morale of the officers and soldiers has been greatly restored, Huang Degong and other officers and generals, they were all gearing up to fight with the Xingtian Army here, and even on the third night of the arrival of the Xingtian Army, they also sent a small group of elite soldiers out of the camp and down the mountain to carry out a night attack on the Xingtian Army camp.
However, the camp of the Xingtian Army was also very strong, and there were enough open and dark posts, and as soon as the officers and soldiers came out of the camp, they were discovered by the secret posts of the Xingtian Army, and after the warning, the officers and soldiers fled back immediately when their whereabouts were exposed, so the two armies were temporarily stalemate in the area of Tuanshan.
On the other hand, Sun Yingyuan's offensive action against Wuhe County was also under Shi Ran's fierce resistance, and there was no progress, Sun Yingyuan encountered the same trouble as Xiao Tianjian, Shi Ran was in Wuhe County, leading thousands of Xingtian soldiers, not only defending Wuhe County, but also repeatedly sending elite soldiers to launch raids on Sun Yingyuan's department, which made Sun Yingyuan anxious, and there was no way to take Shi Ran, who was sitting in Wuhe County, and at the same time got the news that Huang Degong's department was blocked by the Xingtian Army in the area of Tuanshan. Sun Yingyuan also knew that he would not be able to recover Fengyang Mansion on his own, so he had to temporarily settle down in the area of Wuhe County, forming a confrontation with Shi Ran's department.
After three days of confrontation, Wan Yuanji, who was patrolling the camp in the early morning of the fourth day, suddenly got the news that the Xingtian army under the mountain seemed to be leaving the regimental mountain in batches.
"What kind of conspiracy is the thief army going to play?" This is the first question that comes to mind together with Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong.
But in the blink of an eye, Wan Yuan Ji thought of a terrible question, his face immediately changed greatly, and he exclaimed to Huang Degong: "It's not good! I'm afraid that the thief army is going to divide their troops to bypass here and send a group of men and horses to attack Luzhou! This is in trouble! ”
Although Huang Degong is a military general, but after years of marching and fighting, his strategic vision is finally a little, and at the beginning, he did not have Wan Yuanji's brain to react quickly, but as soon as Huang Degong reminded him, he immediately realized the problem, and his face suddenly changed.
"How's that for good? The lord will be ordered by Ding Duchen at the end, almost all the soldiers and horses of Luzhou, now Luzhou is only less than 3,000 people, once the thief army goes straight to Luzhou, how can Luzhou stop such a strong thief army? Huang Degong couldn't help but exclaim.
After the two of them figured this out, they both felt that a head was as big as three, Fengyang Mansion they have not been able to recover at the moment, and now they are blocked by the Xingtian Army in the area of Tuan Mountain, camped in the mountains and held Tuan Mountain to defend Tuan Mountain, originally thought that they had attracted the main force of the Xingtian Thief, even if they could not recover Fengyang Mansion in a short time, but at least they could not hold back the Xingtian Thief and could not attack Luzhou.
But I didn't think that the thief army didn't let them get their way, after the attack on the Tuanshan camp was frustrated, they actually began to divide the troops immediately, although it is not yet known where the thief army will rush after the division of troops, but basically it can also be determined where the next target of the thief is.
Luzhou is the gateway to the northwest of Nanjing, once the Xingtian army conquers Luzhou, then the next road to Nanjing is basically no danger to defend!
Some time ago, the reason why Ding Qirui was in a hurry, ordered Huang Degong to evacuate Huguang, gave up the offensive against Huangzhou, and quickly withdrew to Luzhou, in fact, was to prevent the Xingtian Army from going to Shouzhou to attack Luzhou, and then go straight to Nanjing, what he valued was that Huang Degong was brave and good at controlling troops, and hoped that Huang Degong would sit in Luzhou to ensure that Luzhou was not lost, but now because Fengyang Mansion was first occupied by Xingtian thieves, Ding Qirui had to transfer Huang Degong and Wan Yuan Ji to Fengyang Mansion.
Now the Xingtian Army does not spend time with them here in Tuanshan, leaving the partial division to keep an eye on their soldiers and horses, and the other team bypasses Tuanshan and goes straight to Luzhou, once they are dragged here, Luzhou will definitely be completely finished.
So after thinking about this, Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong panicked, now that the Xingtian Army is so divided, then they have regained the initiative on the battlefield, and Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong's plan to rely on Tuanshan to drag the Xingtian Army will go bankrupt directly, so they can only immediately withdraw their troops and rush back to Luzhou to block the offensive of the Xingtian Army in Luzhou.
Although Fengyang Mansion is important, it has been lost after all, and the crime of losing Fengyang Mansion has been borne by Zhu Dadian, but once Luzhou loses it, they can't expect others to suffer for them, although they are ordered by Ding Qirui to send troops to Fengyang Mansion, but when it comes to the matter, Ding Qirui will not carry this black pot for them!
So Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong decided to give up the Tuanshan camp, the whole army evacuated here at full speed, and then rushed back to Luzhou to set up defenses, if it was timely, Luzhou could still be saved, but if they hesitated, Luzhou might not be able to wait for them to go back, and they were conquered by the Xingtian Army.
In the past few days, they have also seen the power of the cannons of the Xingtian Army, in the army of the Xingtian thieves, there are at least 100 Hongyi cannons of various types, and when the cannons are fired together, it can almost be said that the ground is shaking, if they don't build a relatively solid camp in Tuanshan, and then there are so many of them, it is estimated that they should be blown away by the cannons of the thief army, so they have no doubt that the Xingtian Army can capture Luzhou City, if the thief army pulls most of the artillery under Luzhou City, It's only a matter of time before Luzhou City is blasted open!
Fortunately, they still have time to go now, although the Xingtian Army moves one step ahead, but if the Xingtian Army wants to go straight to Luzhou, it must pass through Dingyuan County to bypass Tuanshan in order to enter Luzhou, and Wan Yuan Ji is in front of the troops to Tuanshan, because of the problem of supply, the defense of Dingyuan County is very important, when Kong Zhenhui led his troops to turn them, Wan Yuan Ji from the Luzhou soldiers under his command and the Chuzhou soldiers and horses of Kong Zhenhui, each selected two thousand people, handed over to Huang Degong's nephew Huang Mengtong to lead, stay in Dingyuan County, In this way, they can delay the Xingtian Army, so that they can rush back to Luzhou to deploy defenses before the Xingtian Army.
So before it got dark, the Tuanshan camp was in chaos, and after the officers and soldiers were ordered, they had to abandon the Tuanshan camp they had built with great difficulty, and began to rush down the mountain in the direction of Dingyuan County.
And at this time, on a big tree in the southeast direction of Tuanshan, Lin Luo, the leader of the scout brigade of the Xingtian Army, was lying on the branch of the big tree, holding a copper tube monocular and looking towards the Tuanshan camp.
When he saw that a large number of officers and soldiers had begun to evacuate the Tuanshan camp, Lin Luo put down his binoculars, slipped down the big tree with a sigh, and strode to the war horse behind the grove. Ha ha! Walk! Hurry up and return the handsome! Now you can fuck it! ”
More than a dozen scouts followed Lin Luo and turned on their horses, whipping away one after another......
Xiao Tianjian sat leisurely on a stone and drank the water in the copper kettle he carried with him, watching the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army pass nearby, every time a soldier saw Xiao Tianjian's handsome flag, he would cheer loudly in the direction of Xiao Tianjian, and then continue to stride forward without stopping at all, and Xiao Tianjian would wave to the soldiers passing nearby from time to time, which would immediately cause a greater cheer.
When he saw Lin Luo and his party scouts coming from Jiechen, Xiao Tianjian put away the kettle, casually threw it to the iron head who followed him, and smiled at Li Xin who followed him: "Lin Luo, this kid is here!" It is estimated that Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong should also move! Hehe! ”
Sure enough, after Lin Luo rushed to the front, he immediately shouted to Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin with a happy face: "Handsome! Enlightened handsome! Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong were fooled! They have already begun to withdraw from the Tuanshan camp, descend the mountain in batches, and come this way! ”
Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin glanced at each other, and each other immediately laughed, Li Xin smiled: "If it's not about you, it's messy!" As soon as the marshal mobilized the troops and horses, Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong both thought that the marshal was going to Luzhou! It's no wonder they don't panic! Hehe! ”
"That's it! Wan Yuan Ji is a prison army, sitting in Luzhou, Huang Degong is the main general, they can not want Fengyang Mansion, but they can't lose Luzhou! Otherwise, if Luzhou is lost, the court will definitely settle accounts with the two of them, and it is strange that they are not nervous when we move!
We can't let them lead the way, the initiative on this battlefield must always be in our hands, we can't listen to them, he wants to defend the Tuan Mountain, drag us at the foot of the Tuan Mountain, and we can't move an inch, if we fight according to their ideas, we will fall into their pockets! Didn't they want to fight in Tuanshan? Lao Tzu doesn't let them get their way, Lao Tzu just wants to drag them away! Let them fight according to Lao Tzu's ideas! They can't fight sports wars, so we prefer them to follow us to fight sports wars! After Xiao Tianjian succeeded in his treacherous plan at this time, he looked very excited, where he stood and waved his hand, he had a posture of pointing the world, but when he did this, no one would think that he was a villain, after all, after he laid this foundation, his reputation in the Xingtian Army and even the world was already in full swing, and he already had this kind of qualification and capital to guide the world!
"Handsome! Now that the officers and soldiers have been transferred out of the Tuanshan camp, why don't we stop them here in Dingyuan County and kill them in this area! Why do we have to move forward? After Lin Luo listened to Xiao Tianjian's words, he asked Xiao Tianjian with a look of reverence but a little doubt.
After Xiao Tianjian glanced at Lin Luo, he said with a smile: "Your question makes sense!" Hehe! Then I'll tell you! In fact, when you think so, Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong estimate that they will think the same way!
Here in Dingyuan County, there are 4,000 officers and soldiers left by 10,000 yuan to guard, plus the local defenders, there are five or six thousand people, although the combat power is not strong, but it can contain our troops, and the officers and troops have just won two small victories in the Tuanshan camp, and the morale is still relatively high at this time, so their military hearts are still neat at this time, if they fight here, although with our troops, they may not be able to defeat them, but if this battle starts, it will still be hard!
In this case, then we can't do what they want, they want to fight here, we don't want to fight them here! Aren't they in a hurry to return to Luzhou? Then let's compete with them on our feet! The iron feet of our Xingtian Army are known to the world, let's compare our strengths with them, see who rushed to the city of Luzhou first, with the training level of the officers and soldiers, when they run to Luzhou, it is estimated that the military spirit that should run is scattered! Wouldn't it be easy to clean them up when the time comes? ”
After Lin Luo heard Xiao Tianjian's words, he immediately gritted his teeth and laughed, said yes again and again, and said to Xiao Tianjian: "The handsome man is really smart!" The last general really has nothing to say! Compared with the strength of the feet, the officers and soldiers can't catch any of us! There's no comparison! Ha ha! We can drag them to death! ”
Xiao Tianjian looked at the direction of Tuanshan, nodded and said, "Yes, it is to drag them to death!" Well, it's time to go! On the side of the official army, I will leave it to you scouts to keep an eye on me! Inform me immediately of any changes they have! The plan can't keep up with the change, as long as they pull away, we can deal with them at any time! ”
Lin Luo immediately straightened his chest and saluted: "The last general obeys the order!" ”
