0638 Death Battle
The one who came to deliver the information was Xin Bin, a subordinate selected by Qian Feng in the Beijing Mansion, and when Shen Zhezi heard the news, he really didn't know what to say.
In the First Battle of Hefei, Shen Zhezi did not count Qian Feng in it, and Qian Feng's main task after crossing the river was to infiltrate the north. As for choosing to start with Huang Quan, it was not out of Shen Zhezi's instructions.
Therefore, when Xin Bin came to deliver information, he also came to ask for guilt. They chose Qin Su, a figure who knew Huang Quan well, to start, and it was also good to have good intentions, hoping to break Huang Quan's stubborn resistance and make the battle for recovery fertilizer smoother, but they didn't expect Huang Quan to shift his attention to Tu Zhong. Once Huang Quan sends troops, it will undoubtedly be detrimental to Shen Zhezi's current arrangement.
Shen Zhezi didn't care much about this, if there were some subjective speculations about Huang Quan's previous judgment, then combined with the information transmitted back by Xin Bin, it can be determined that this judgment is correct. As for the contradiction between Huang Quan and Huainan guard Peng Biao, it is an unexpected gain.
Although Shen Zhezi could also guess that there should be many contradictions within the Qianhu before, he didn't expect that the division was so serious, so serious that the border town guards couldn't even put each other to death! On a big picture, this is definitely good news.
As for Huang Quan's exhaustion, Shen Zhezi didn't think that Qian Feng and others contributed to it. This person has long had the heart of abandonment, only suffering from a different back road, so what can be chosen is nothing more than a few directions, the more conservative retreat to Shaobei, and the more enterprising nature is to directly hit the defensive empty goal, and the movement map is saved. And Huang Quan's choice of the latter is naturally because of the contempt that Qiang Hu has always had for the southerners, as well as his deep confidence in his own combat strength.
Although Tu Zhong is closer to Guangling and has a threat from the direction of Xuzhou, the current Xuzhou flag is chaotic and the long-range attack is weak. In addition, Tuzhong and Jiankang are only separated by a water, and the imperial court will inevitably not rest assured that the rebellious military leaders in Xuzhou are roaring under the city, so it is the Yuzhou army that needs to be relied on.
In this way, Huang Quan abandoned Hefei and attacked Tuzhong, turning passivity into initiative, which will undoubtedly cause great turmoil in the regional situation. According to Xin Bin, this person wanted to use this to disrupt the situation in Huaixia, so as to create an opportunity for Shi Hu, who was far away in Yecheng, to go south. Tactically, it's a good option.
But Shen Zhezi didn't think that this could be done, Shi Hu's power had become an imminent crisis. It is true that this person had commanded many heavy armies to attack everywhere before, but after Shile became emperor, the contradictions gradually became clear. Even attacking Shouchun and eliminating the old enemy Zu Clan, Shi Hu was detained and not appointed, which shows that the power to restrict Shi Hu has risen to the level of national policy, how could he be released because of Huang Quan's actions in the south!
Therefore, this Huang Quan's attack on Tu Zhong can be regarded as a poor ape running to the forest, and he is panicked. Although it is beyond the original tactical layout, on the whole, it is also good news, there is a chance to completely annihilate Huang Quan's subordinates and not give them a chance to escape.
Of course, the premise is that if it really encounters, his own troops can shake his division, even if they can't defeat him head-on, they must contain him here, and create a chance for the rest of the troops to encircle and annihilate!
Rejecting Xin Bin's request to stay and meet the enemy together, Shen Zhezi sent someone to send him away to join Qian Feng and continue north, leaving only the captive Qin Su. The value of these spies is not reflected in the battle to kill the enemy, if there is no Xin Bin to report the news, it can be described as a disaster if they are caught off guard and encounter the main force of Huang Quan. So Shen Zhezi is also full of expectations for what they can achieve in the north.
Then Shen Zhezi summoned the generals and announced the news.
When the generals learned that they were going to encounter Huang Quan's main force, they were shocked, and they all reacted differently. A group of young generals like Shen Mu who were eager to fight were almost uncontrollable to clap their hands in celebration, while Lu Yong frowned, and said with a sad face: "Our department has been ordered, although it is the responsibility to stop the rout of the Hefei army. But if, as the envoy said, Huang Quan abandoned his defense and fled, and his strength was not damaged, it would be difficult to call it good news for my department! ”
Yu Manzhi was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and even said: "According to what General Lu saw, do we still have to take refuge and retreat?" This time, the king's division went north, originally to attack the thieves from afar, and the army had been marching for many days, and there was no war for a long time, and the soldiers had the idea of slackness, and the army's strength had declined. Huang Quan fled in fear of the war, and the people were panicked, if our troops still retreated without a fight, and went north with hard work, why? What will be the group, and how will the country be served? ”
As Yu Manzhi spoke, several other people also spoke one after another, mostly criticizing Lu Yong's words for damaging morale.
As a person who was attacked by everyone, Lu Yong was not angry, he knew that his identity was already quite discriminated against in the army, and at this time he just looked at Shen Zhezi and said: "What the last general said is definitely not a cowardice. Huang Quan, although he is not well-known in the south, is still not to be underestimated. His people have long been fighting dogs under the trap of stone thieves, and they are treated by fake sons, but they are fierce and fierce, not mediocre. ”
"The army of slaves and thieves who have been fighting for a long time is not afraid of death in battle, and the country is far away, but it can be known that the fighting spirit is stronger. If there is a light enemy, it will be devoured! In a hurry, the outcome is really unpredictable. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yong paused, and when he saw that all the generals were about to open their mouths to speak, he hurriedly said: "The last general is not timid and short of breath because of things!" It is really not appropriate to defend the poor and defend the dangerous place and fight for your life with the gangsters! Our division is placed aside, this is not the setting of the front and rushing into the formation, and the rate is more than a lot of capital to make heavy money, so it is inevitable to invest in thieves, or should stabilize the formation and retreat, in order to wait for the backup of the division. If it weren't for the grace of the envoy, this body would have long since disappeared. This time before the battle, I wish to die after the war is broken! ”
After Lu Yong finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent was a little dull, and he shouted for a few people to fight before, but he didn't know that what Lu Yong said was mostly true. Although there are thousands of soldiers in their department, nearly half of them are new soldiers, and compared with the elite of Huang Quan's hundred battles, the number of victories is really not high.
What's more, at present, there are many materials and weapons here, plus there are many dingkou collected along the way, once the war is unfavorable, these will become a drag.
Previously, they could still criticize Lu Yong with fear of war, but now that Lu Yong took the initiative to ask for the strength of the battle, he really couldn't say anything about fear of war.
Shen Zhezi saw that all the generals were silent, so he said: "A hundred flowers are gorgeous, it is not enough to praise; Hanmei is proud of the snow, and Fang shows the wind and bones! When there is a battle in battle, it should be all the life of the upper and lower levels, and the soldiers should be killed, so as to defeat the enemy! The difference between victory and defeat is by no means one or two brave soldiers. General Lu is very important, and I am also deeply taught! ”
"However, the new division of our army is only bold and courageous. Retreating from the odds is really not a good choice. Besides, Huang Quan's department has escaped, and he doesn't know when he will arrive. A strong enemy is lying on the left, such as a sharp sword hanging high on the neck, and the new formation armor may be stable according to the defense, and a slight move may collapse. If the enemy hits halfway, it may be crushed! ”
Shen Zhezi's department is also two extremes, like Yu Manzhi, Xie Yi and others, although they dare to fight, but the battle they experienced is nothing more than the one with Shen Zhezi's counterattack on Jiankang. But in that battle, even Shen Zhezi himself had to admit that the reason why he was able to win was actually not much to do with the battle. In addition, there are more than 3,000 new soldiers of the victorious army, and it is doubtful how much combat effectiveness they can exert in a truly tragic war.
And Lu Yong's department can be described as an elite division, even in Xuzhou, where there are many military heads, it can be called a superior soldier.
Putting the two together, disputes are inevitable. Of course, Shen Zhezi not only recognizes the impulsiveness and courage of young people, but also values Lu Yong's calmness that can judge the situation and pay attention to the facts.
And the current situation does not require him to make a dilemma. Huang Quan doesn't know when he will come out, and it is not a good choice to retreat at this time. The combat effectiveness of the recruits is worrisome, if there is a battalion that is stubbornly held and can still be restrained to maintain a basic command, but if it leaves the camp and encounters a field battle again, then it will only be harvested, and it is impossible to organize any effective counterattack.
Hearing what Shen Zhezi said, even Lu Yong didn't know what to say for a while, it was too unexpected to encounter Huang Quan's main force. After pondering for a long time, he said again: "What the king is worried about is indeed profound, and the general will not be able to think about it." The only way to do this is to stand on the ground and wait for help, and you can win one or two. The last general did not dare to resign, but the beggar made Jun be able to spare his body and gallop to help him return to the army of the bitter war! ”
The rest of the generals also echoed Lu Yong's words, and although they were not afraid of the battle, they also realized that the battle was not optimistic. Shen Zhezi is not only their main general, but also the key person before and after the overall planning.
"Jin Zuo has risen and fallen repeatedly, and the history has never written me. Why should you be stingy with this body, pretend to be of great use, and fight to the death! There is no need to mention this discussion, I encourage you to do so, if this battle is unfortunate, the bones are buried here, and Huangquan is not lonely! But I have never believed in the shallowness of fate, and I have made few noises, so that it is convenient for the fire here to burn and cook slaves! ”
Shen Zhezi raised his hand to interrupt everyone's persuasion, and then ordered everyone to return to their respective camps to prepare for war and end the meeting.
The construction at the valley came to an end for the time being, and the servants returned to the camp at the corner of the two rivers and began to build fortifications, digging deep trenches and laying earth for stacks. Because it is not clear when the Huang Quan Department will appear here, the construction of the barracks is also extrapolated from the sharp angles of the sharp corners.
Originally, all the wood and stone materials used for building the city were used, and in a day or two, layers of barracks were built at the corner of the two rivers. Regardless of the role that these barracks will play in actual combat for the time being, at least seeing this layer of fortifications has given those recruits who are anxious about the imminent war a sense of security, and they can prepare for battle in an orderly manner in the barracks.
In the barracks, the veterans of Lu Yong's department were stationed in the outer defense line, and nearly 2,000 people were spread out in the two layers of defense on the periphery, which was not a thick front. Shen Zhezi led the elite soldiers to follow up and respond to the outside line. As for the new pawns of the Shengwu Army, they were arranged in the core of the inner formation, and then they arrived at the water village in the river.
Shen Mu's unreliable guy proposed to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and cut off the back road, but Shen Zhezi directly ignored it. This guy is just simply applying allusions and wants to pay tribute to King Xiang. In this battle, boats and boats were still very useful, they could advance and retreat to block waterways, block enemy troops from crossing the water, and plan for land battles.
The rangers were also all sprinkled, one was divided into various departments to warn for help, and the other scouted the surrounding area to find out the enemy's situation.
Time passed quickly in the busyness, and five days later, Huang Quan's department appeared near Tushui. As soon as it appears, it will be slaughtered immediately!
