Chapter 1083: I'm convinced
The night is low, and one after another fire dragons extend from east to west and from north to south on the land of Jiangbei. Sometimes together, sometimes apart, like volcanic lava spreading across the earth.
Although the Jiangbei region has experienced nearly 20 years of the Xiaoice period, the rivers and lakes here are still abundant in water, nourishing this fertile land. Although it has been sunny for several days, the road is still muddy and difficult to walk thanks to the continuous wind and rain in the past few days.
Walking during the day is a step and three slips, let alone at night.
Therefore, Sun Yuan ordered everyone to light torches and hurry.
It is less than 60 miles away from Yangzhou City, and if you ride a fast horse, you can get there in half a day. But the march of the army is not so simple.
After the elimination of the Nikan Army, the soldiers and horses of the four battalions of the Ningxiang Army finally converged.
The distance between us and the enemy was so close that the valets of both sides were already mixed together, and the skirmishes of the cavalry had been going on for a day. At this time, it was no longer possible to hide the whereabouts of the army.
In fact, this kind of large-scale military operation of tens of thousands of men and horses cannot be hidden from anyone within a range of several tens of miles.
In the past, when I read history books, no, I should say that when I read romance books, the wars recorded on them were full of intrigue and even romance. It seems that as long as a military advisor comes up with a clever plan, he can annihilate the enemy's 100,000 army in ashes while talking and laughing. When it was really time to master a large army and go to the battlefield, Sun Yuan knew that it was a fart at all.
Tens of thousands of troops, divided into several roads, spread out, the control range is up to a hundred miles, countless scouts are sent out, even if there are a few birds in front of them
。 When it comes to war, what is the use of a few strategies?
The so-called war, to put it bluntly, means that both the enemy and us throw all their forces on the gambling table and fight hard. Whoever is better equipped, whose soldiers are more well trained, whose command system is smoother, and who can withstand greater sacrifices.
War is a fierce collision of two forces, and at the moment of collision, the stronger side is completely crushed against the other.
It's as simple as that.
The news from the front came that Jiannu's Hongyi artillery had been arranged in place and began to bombard the city of Yangzhou, preparing to launch a general attack.
As a commander who took the lead in using a large number of firearms and used them as a means of victory, Sun Yuan naturally knew the power of the red-coated cannon, and Yangzhou City would not last long under this new siege weapon. Even in real history, Yangzhou City was only kept for one night.
At this moment, Dodor also used the same method of warfare.
That is to say, the main force of the fourth battalion of the Ningxiang Army must rush to the city of Yangzhou before dawn, fight a decisive battle with Duoduo, and win the battle to completely solve these tens of thousands of invaders. [Marshmallow wants to read almost all the books.,It's much more stable and faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] ]
If it's too late, once Duoduo enters Yangzhou as a shrunken turtle, it will be troublesome to find him out again. Moreover, at the beginning of the battle, the Ningxiang Army did not know how much sacrifice it would have to pay.
The most important thing is that once Duoduo enters the city, the people of Yangzhou will directly face the butcher's knife of Jiannu. According to the report from the detective factory, as early as the beginning of Jiannu's entry into the Jianghuai area, Duoduo rendered Yangzhou into an earthly paradise full of gold and silver in order to boost morale, and had already divided Yangzhou into more than a dozen areas in advance, promising that once Yangzhou was taken, these areas would be assigned to his subordinates according to the size of the merit.
In other words, the Ten Days in Yangzhou was a strategic policy set by Jiannu from the beginning.
In fact, there is no need to plan in advance, and the slaughter of the city has become a habit of building slaves. Ever since Duoduo led his troops out of Beijing, he would plunder every place he had taken, burning every city he had taken to the ground. Shock all opponents who try to fight it with massacre, and use it to deplete the enemy's vitality and war potential.
Just this year, Duoduo has created countless no-man's lands in Jiangbei.
This time, we must not let this executioner with his hands covered in human blood escape, and we must not let Yangzhou repeat itself in this time and space on the 10th
。
"This is probably the purpose of God letting me travel to this time and space, ten years, almost ten years, I have grown from a peasant boy to a commander with a large army, and I have finally waited for this day."
Sun Yuan clenched his fists tightly, and secretly swore in his heart: "Duoduo, old friend, let's meet again." This time, so-and-so is going to cut off your head with his own hands. ”
As if infected with the heroic and murderous aura in the master's chest, the war horse under Sun Yuan's seat let out a low roar and sped up.
Suddenly, the big beast slipped and stepped headlong into a puddle on the road. There was a long hiss, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
Sun Yuan was caught off guard for a while, and was thrown directly into the mud.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" The guards were shocked and rushed over.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter." Sun Yuan jumped up from the ground drenched in water, jumped a few more times, and found that he was not injured, so he was relieved: "How is the war horse?" ”
"Lord Hou, your mount accidentally stepped into a puddle of water and broke its leg, so let's change it." As he spoke, he reached out to help Sun Yuan.
Sun Yuan was furious and slapped the guard's hand away: "Get out, it's just a fall, what's the big deal, you treat a certain woman as a woman?" Even if you are sitting on a horse and your buttocks hurt, you can walk a few steps to move your muscles and bones. Tell everyone to hurry up, we must advance to the city of Yangzhou before dawn, the people of the city are waiting for us! ”
The road is too difficult to walk, since the Ming Dynasty central financial bankruptcy, the official road in Jiangbei has not been repaired for more than ten years. The official road in front of me is not straight forward, but winds through rivers and swamps. Some places on the road are stones, and some places are simply all loess, which has been drenched by many days of rain, and has already softened and expanded. As soon as the feet of the centaurs step on them, they sink into the upper of the shoe, and it takes a lot of effort to pull them out.
More than 20,000 Ningxiang troops marched forward rapidly along the official roads, ridges, and fields, and everyone was sweating. No one spoke, and everywhere there was the rustling of footsteps, the hoofs of horses and large animals, and the sound of rapid, heavy breathing.
Everyone had walked all day, and they had to walk all night, and they were all too tired to have any strength, but the frequency of their steps was extremely fast, and the steps were big, and no one thought of stopping to take a breath.
In the past, they didn't know how many times they had experienced such a rapid march in the wilderness, and they were used to it, anyway, they only had to bury their heads forward, and there would always be a time to go to the ground
。
After scolding the guards, someone pointed to the back: "Lord Hou, Mr. Qingzhu is here." ”
Sun Yuan looked back, but saw Fu Shan riding a white horse, he was wearing a moon-white Confucian robe, there was not a single mud spot on it, and he looked calm and chic in the starlight.
"Lord Qing, how is the situation of the troops, can the armies keep up?" Sun Yuan hurriedly walked over and asked.
Fu Shan was in charge of the Ningxiang Army, and many times, he had a clearer grasp of the situation of the troops than Sun Yuan: "Yuying Chuanhou, rest assured, all the armies have followed, the system is complete, and they echo each other very well, and they will pull a complete Ningxiang Army to the battlefield in Tianming." ”
Sun Yuan: "How about the artillery?" ”
Fu Shan: "The artillery is going hard, so you have to go slowly, but fortunately, I have already sent more people and mules and horses to help, and I can't fall behind." ”
Sun Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, artillery is the god of war, if there is no artillery, tomorrow's battle will be difficult." In this battle, not to mention anything else, as long as the minibus can pull all the cannons to the front line without a bad time, he will be given the first credit. ”
Fu Shan: "The artillerymen are the strongest and smartest soldiers in the army, and I went to see General Ba before, and he has rolled like a mud monkey." General Ba, like you at the beginning, likes to be clean the most, which is really embarrassing for him. ”
Sun Yuan couldn't help but laugh and talked about the minibus. Since he went to Yangzhou Town as an officer, he picked up the style of the European nobles, and he was the most particular about dressing, and in the end, he was even obsessed with a silver wig, and even put white fat powder on his face, which looked like a shemale, which made people's hearts seep panic: "Isn't the green lord also very particular, you don't even know how to get mud ideas on your body today." ”
"It's simple, bring a box of clothes, and change it when it's dirty."
Sun Yuan was speechless for a while.
Fu Shan: "But at the beginning, there were still two bad news, one big and one small, I don't know which one you want to hear first?" ”
Sun Yuan: "I'm most afraid of hearing bad news now, so let's talk about the little one first." ”
Fu Shan: "The bad news is that the Shimazu United and the North Korean battalion have fallen behind
。 ”
"Falling behind, how far has it fallen, what is the situation?" Sun Yuan frowned.
Fu Shan: "According to the report sent by Kazuo Shimazu and Prince Li, their troops have lagged behind our army by more than 40 miles. After all, these two troops had never experienced such a long and rapid march under bad weather and bad roads before, and they had long been left behind by our army. By now, the troops have been scattered everywhere, and they should not think of restoring the formation within a day or two. It seems that they will not be able to catch up with tomorrow's decisive battle. ”
"No surprises, no surprises." Sun Yuan couldn't help but sigh slightly, in fact, in this era, there is really no army that can catch up with the pace of the Ningxiang Army, and there is really no army that runs long distances on the muddy road: "That's it, they are just making up a number on the battlefield, and the political significance is greater than the military significance." What they need to do is to block the road north of Cannu after our army has defeated Duoduo, and surround it in Yangzhou, leaving them alone. Lord Qing, tell me about the big bad news. ”
Hearing Sun Yuan's question, Fu Shan's expression became serious: "Taichu, just now I received an urgent report of the traffic battle in Yangzhou, Huang Degong's Lufeng army encountered Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming in the process of advancing eastward, and suffered an unprecedented defeat, the main force was completely defeated, and the remaining 7,000 men and horses have been transferred to the area of Tianchang and Yizheng, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up with the battle of Yangzhou." As for Gao Jie's side, there has been no news, and Guazhou should still be in his hands. However, Gao Jie's troops have more than enough to defend Guazhou, but they are powerless to join this decisive battle. That is to say......"
Sun Yuan: "In other words, in this big war, our Ningxiang army has fought, and others can't count on it." ”
"Yes, that's right." Fu Shan said: "In other words, the plan you had expected to surround Duoduo at the beginning may have changed somewhat. With the strength of our army, it is not enough to encircle the same number of enemies. ”
"Ten rules?" Sun Yuan clenched his fists: "However, I want to try." The Jiannu soldiers came in three ways, and if they couldn't wipe out one of them, they would be in great trouble in the future, and they wouldn't be able to move to other battlefields. So...... In the next battle, our Ningxiang army should destroy a large number of Jiannu's vitality and strive to encircle it in Yangzhou. ”
Fu Shan: "Taichu is right, the old slave Nuerhachi has a good saying: With his many ways, I will go all the way." In other words, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. If one of the three Jianzhou armies cannot be completely annihilated, this general battle will be a pot of raw rice and will be protracted. With the financial, material, and manpower of Jiangbei, it is not enough to support this campaign. Therefore, the battle of tomorrow should be done with all its strength and in one battle. ”
Sun Yuan: "We're going to win, I'm sure of that." ”
