Chapter 315 The young general competes for merit

Yicheng is located in the north of Yishui, near the west of the Han River, more than 300 miles south of Xiangyang, Azig let the general Gaodi garrison here, in addition to plundering the Chengtian Mansion in the south and the De'an Mansion in the east, in order to prevent the Ming army from going north to support Xiangyang.

If the Ming army wants to go to Xiangyang, whether it is by land or by boat and boat to the north, Yicheng is a must pass, of course, the Ming army can also take other mountain roads, but in this way, not only the detour is far away, the baggage materials can not be transported, there will be many troubles.

Gao's 10,000 horses were in Yicheng, Yuan Zongdi, the vanguard, but there was no way, his rash attack would only attract the attention of Azig and Wu Sangui, so that the Qing army could prepare in advance, so he discussed with Wang Shixiu and Sun Shoufa, and then decided to wait for Wang Yan to arrive with the main force according to his previous ideas, and discussed the battle plan.

Three days later, Wang Yan and 70,000 soldiers and horses came to Chengtianfu, and there were not so many people stationed in the city, so he was about to set up his main camp on the east bank of the Han River, and the city of Fufu was a horn for each other, so he didn't have to worry about the attack of the Qing soldiers.

Yuan Zongdi had already prepared to meet the main force, and built a shoddy camp by the river, and after Wang Yan came, he only built a wall-type camp with a circumference of about ten miles on the original foundation, which was temporarily inhabited by tens of thousands of troops. \u000bThousands of large tents were erected in the camp, and thousands of boats and boats carrying supplies, grain and grass in the Han River were cruising around, looking like a big war was approaching.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Yan stood in front of a huge sand table with his hands in his hands and pondered for a long time, while Jiang Yueguang, Chen Hongxu, and the Song brothers stood aside, holding a map while directing the clerks to use soil to pile up the terrain around the Han River.

The prototype of the sand table originated in the Qin Dynasty, so that when the emperor built the mausoleum, he built a large terrain model in his own mausoleum.

The model not only has mountains, hills, cities, etc., but also simulates rivers and seas with mercury, which can be regarded as the ancestor of the sand table.

In the eighth year of Jianwu of the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui and Wudu, the general Ma Yuan "gathered rice for the valley and pointed to the situation", so that Emperor Guangwu suddenly had the feeling of "captive in my eyes", which was the earliest sand table operation.

The Ming Dynasty seemed to rarely use sand tables, and Wang Yan inadvertently remembered that there happened to be a Song brother who was good at production, so he happened to build one to facilitate Wang Yan's command of the battle.

At this time, Yuan Zongdi and the others walked into the big tent quickly, and were just about to salute, but Jiang Yueguang on the side hurriedly waved his hand to them and pointed at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was indeed thinking about the current situation, and after a while, he noticed the many generals who had entered the account, so he immediately smiled and said: "You are all here, then take a look at this sand table and talk about how to fight next." ”

When Yuan Zongdi and the others heard this, they immediately came forward and saw that on the sand table, the mountains and rivers were clear at a glance, and they were immediately very surprised. Seeing this, Wang Yan smiled slightly, he picked up a wooden pole and pointed at Yicheng and said: "Lord Sun said, Yicheng has a Qing army of more than 10,000 people, just choking our way to the north, Mr. Yan Ji suggested that this governor should take the lead and deter the enemy army with a winning attitude. ”

When the generals heard this, they looked at the sand table for a while, but they didn't make a sound, because Yicheng is really not very easy to fight, if it can be beaten down simply, Yuan Zongdi, who is the vanguard, will go to fight a long time ago, and he will not keep it for them.

Seeing that the generals were silent, Wang Yan couldn't help frowning and said, "Why, don't all the generals have confidence?" \u000b At this time, behind Sun Shoufa, a young general came out and said: "Chu Guogong, I am willing to fight Yicheng~"

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but the generals laughed, Sun Shoufa saw this, his face was full of embarrassment, and he hurriedly scolded: "Feng'er, don't be rude." ”

Qin Feng laughed when he saw the people in the tent, his face turned red, and he said to Sun Shoufa in annoyance: "Uncle, I am not rude, I am really sure to take Yicheng~" He looked at Wang Yan again and said: "Duke Chu Guogong, I only need 5,000 men and horses, and I will definitely take Yicheng within three days." If the prince does not believe me, I am willing to make a military warrant. \u000bWhen the generals heard Qin Feng's words and saw that he was willing to make a military order, they immediately restrained their laughter, knowing that it was not a joke, and their faces showed surprise.

All the veterans present are battlefield veterans, if you let a teenager who has not reached the weak crown defeat Yicheng, but it is inevitable that they will feel shameless, even if they don't fight, they will not feel good in their hearts, after all, a group of veterans dare not fight, and it will not be a glorious thing to let a teenager go to death.

"Guogong, a certain person is willing to lead 5,000 men and horses, and break the city in three days~"

"Guogong, the last general~"

For a time, Yuan Zongdi, Dai Zhifan and others came out one after another.

Seeing this, Wang Yan smiled slightly, Yicheng is not difficult to fight, and the 80,000 army can be captured after a few days, but there is no sense of shock that Wang Yan requested.

The veterans in the army may be able to take Yicheng, but they can't play the feeling that Wang Yan wants, which is why they didn't speak at first.

At this time, Qin Feng saw that the generals asked for their lives, but he became anxious: "Grandpa Guo, I only need 2,000 people, and I will still take Yicheng." ”

Wang Yan listened to his words, not only became serious, even from tomorrow, excluding the time of the march, Qin Feng could only use the time to attack Yicheng for a day and a half, he only used two thousand people, how could he take down Yicheng guarded by 10,000 people? \u000b At this time, Wang Yan was really a little interested in the young man in front of him, so he immediately said: "Your name is Qin Feng, right~ Ben Du still gives you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and I don't want you to make any military orders, but you have to tell Ben Du, why are you so confident that you can defeat Gao Di?" \u000b Qin Feng was overjoyed when he saw Wang Yan responding, "The plan to defeat the enemy lies in knowing oneself and knowing the other, the high thief built the city and plundered the Chengtian Mansion several times, I already know his habits very well." Yicheng has 10,000 Qing soldiers, and it is naturally not possible to attack hard, but as long as you use a strategy, it is easy to break! ”

"Oh?" Wang Yan saw that the little boy was confident, and he admired it in his heart, but Yuan Zongdi on the side came out and said: "Grandpa Guo, don't listen to the kid's nonsense, he is young, what strategy does he have?" He said that he knew Gao Di, and he also knew this kid, and when they met for the first time, he almost shot him to death, where was the strategy. Don't believe him, if something bad happens, it's going to be troublesome. ”

Qin Feng listened to Yuan Zongdi's words, and his face was suddenly embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it, because what Yuan Zongdi said was completely true.

Yuan Zongdi came out, in fact, there was no malice, but Qin Feng was only eighteen years old, he was too young, Yuan Zongdi really couldn't believe that a young man could defeat Yicheng, and he was afraid of Wang Yan's big event, so he tried his best to stop it.

Seeing this, Wang Yan saw the appearance of the two of them, but he made a decision in his heart, so he immediately said with a smile: "The military order is like a mountain, since the governor has promised to let Qin Feng lead the troops, he will not change it, but Qin Feng is still a deputy general, is General Yuan willing to do it?" ”
