Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Tired Strategy
Zhuo County, County, thirty miles east of Yushui.
Along the way, the fields were destroyed by the crossing of people and horses, and thousands of people fled their homes under the heart-wrenching threat of arrows, swords and spears of the white horses. The tragedy on the road made Tai Shici, who was chasing after him, unable to bear to look at it again.
Frail women could not bear to be weary from days of marching for hundreds of miles, and fell by the side of the road, without mercy, and their riders were dying by the time they passed; There were sturdy tenants who tried to resist and were set by the sword, and the corpses were hung from the trees by ropes, glowing with disgusting swelling; There is also a five-foot child who was separated from his relatives in the chaos of long-distance migration, and the abrasion on the soles of his feet gradually festered and even smelled.
Yes, Tai Shi Ci knows that this is your war to the death. True samurai should serve their lord with a sword and loyalty without mercy, but their enemies have long since lost all martial virtues...... Fighting against such an enemy made Tai Shi Ci feel ashamed from the bottom of his heart.
Once upon a time, General Gongsun, who guarded the border, was the pride of the Youzhou people, and the people of Youzhou, who were ignorant and prevalent in the style of ancient rangers, were full of praise when they mentioned their victory over the Saiwaihu people again and again. It seems that their astonishing martial prowess is only one of their countless virtues, and they are loved for their heroic appearance. Their women and children are excited by the long history of the white horse, and their sons and daughters can't be loyal to the long history of the white horse, but now?
This army of Youzhou people fought fiercely in all directions, but even the proud martial arts became the most conspicuous of all their fearsome shortcomings.
"Captain Taishi, since they robbed the people, why did they let the people die on the road?" Sun Qing looked extremely anxious at this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and asked Tai Shici. At the beginning of the march, he thought that they were going out this time to defeat the enemy army and recapture the captured people, but at this moment, his sons who were good at fighting had already divided nearly half of the people who suffered along the way to bury them, and escorted the few surviving people to wait for the logistics to save their lives, and said angrily: "If I knew this, I should have brought hundreds of people!" ”
"We all thought wrongly, the general mistakenly regarded Gongsun Xu as a talented general, whether it was rushing into battle or burning Zhuo County, it was just a last resort for a child who didn't know the height of the sky." Tai Shi Ci rode his horse to stand on the low slope, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, he could see the cooking smoke raised in the distance, which was the movement of their enemy burying the pot and cooking, raising the halberd and his words were full of disdain, and said: "The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, Zhuo County was originally theirs, as soon as the general sent troops, the White Horse Army hurriedly withdrew, they were in rout, fleeing for their lives, where can they take care of the ordinary people!" ”
Sun Qingle rode his horse around the hillside, and the man on the mount stood up, thinking that what Tai Shici said was very reasonable, and shouted loudly while the horse's hooves stepped down: "Then what are you waiting for, let's chase them and kill them for a while!" I've long seen these white horse soldiers unpleasant! ”
"Captain Sun, you want to fight a big battle and kill him four or five thousand people in one battle; Or do you want to harass the enemy army and kill hundreds of people without pain? Tai Shi Ci chuckled lightly with the halberd, had a battle strategy in his heart, and comforted Sun Qing: "Don't worry, a certain family wants to make meritorious contributions more than Captain Sun." Captain Sun has experienced dozens of large and small battle formations, so he has the merits of today's captain; A certain follower followed the general through several battles, but there was no one to establish a prestige, so he didn't want to do it...... In this battle, a certain family wants to let the two states of Youji know that there is still a person in this world called Donglai Tai Shici! Please help me get started! ”
Tai Shi Ci looked at Sun Qing with blazing eyes, and Tai Shi Ci mostly knew about Sun Qing and his person. Although there are many captains in Youzhou, such as Jiang Jin and Wang Yi, they are deeply treated by Yanbei and are known for their loyalty; For example, he and Zhao Yun are known for their martial arts; And Sun Qing, as the most inconspicuous lieutenant in Youzhou, although he has no ability to take charge alone, no one can compare to the ability of scouts, especially the soft roots of his ears make him very popular, and now he is the most trusted general among the four generals of Montenegro.
Sun Qing admired Tai Shi Ci very much, not only admired, but also a little afraid, he was already treated by Tai Shi Ci's outstanding martial arts, and now he heard that Tai Shi Ci respected him so much, he was already overjoyed, and arched his hand and said: "Ziyi, why should you be like this, you and I have the love of fighting to the death together in the battle of Xingyang, you just say it, Sun Mou listens to you in this battle!" ”
Even if Yan Bei said before the battle that the battle situation was completely handed over to him, Sun Qing was an old lieutenant after all, to be honest...... As for his general's temperament, if Sun Qing hadn't made the big mistake of defecting to the enemy, even if he insisted on going his own way and leading to defeat, as long as he fought to the death, I am afraid that there would not be much punishment for returning to the big tent of the Chinese army. If you want to drive Sun Qing, you still have to give enough respect on the face.
"It's a deal! Brother Sun, open the bow and don't shoot, the enemy is the most fearful...... There are still 30 miles away from Yushui here, the enemy army is crossing Yushui in advance, there are no three or four days, the people can not cross all of them. Tai Shi Ci explained the situation clearly under his guidance, "Although there are thousands of enemy troops, the people will inevitably be divided into troops, and we don't need to be afraid." But although we have nearly 4,000 people, we can deal with the enemy's tired strategy, and disturb the enemy army everywhere for thirty miles, so that they can eat and sleep restlessly, and after three days, on the bank of the Yushui River, how many men and horses the enemy leaves behind, we will kill how many men and horses he has! ”
Tai Shi Ci was attacked by Tao Sheng with Yanbei in Puyin, and he couldn't sleep day and night, no matter how elite the soldiers were, they would become wasted, not to mention three days and three nights? He had full confidence in this strategy, but Sun Qing seemed a little hesitant.
Sun Qingtian heard that Tai Shici meant that he wanted to rely on them alone to kill the enemy troops who failed to cross the river, but ...... Do they have the ability to do so?
There were more than 100,000 people there, as well as tens of thousands of troops under Gongsun Zhan. When they left the camp, Yanbei only meant to let them fight before Yushui, and even all the cavalry were just used as scouts...... Will it work?
"This ...... Ziyi, can it be done? ”
"Sancheng, a certain Sancheng is sure that he can defeat nearly half of the enemy army after the tired army, Brother Sun doesn't have to worry too much, even if he can't do anything, he can still grab 20,000 or 30,000 people, how can it not be a credit?"
Sun Qing began to hear Tai Shici say Sancheng, his eyes were like copper bells, and then he gradually felt happy. Tai Shi Ci is not too sure that it is okay, maybe he just wants to test it, if he really insists on going his own way, it is not beautiful, he immediately stroked his palm and smiled: "Great goodness, success is meritorious, defeat is also meritorious, or Ziyi is safe!" ”
Seeing that Sun Qing no longer objected, Tai Shi Ci also raised a smile on his face, looked at the smoke in the distance, and secretly clenched his fists...... If this matter is done, Gongsun Xu will not need to be remembered by the general, he and Sun Qing joined forces, plus Lu Yi's 3,000 men and horses in Wuruan Pass, it is enough to keep the more than 10,000 enemy troops in Zhuo County.
The husband is in the world, and the fame is taken immediately!
