Chapter Twenty-Eight: Li Yan's Clever Plan
"Once upon a time, I heard a saying. It's called as wide as the sea. Usually, this describes the broad-mindedness of the heart. But in other words, it is very suitable to describe the 100,000 male soldiers of Dashun under my command! Li Zicheng's voice fell, rode his horse forward, turned his horse's head, walked from south to north, little by little, and looked at the strong army behind him.
Around him, Niu Jinxing, Li Yan, Liu Zongmin, Gu Junen and other Shunjun stood tall and waited eagerly.
This is the army that belongs to Li Zicheng.
It is no longer a thief like a thief in the state of a homeless person, but a soldier who has been detached from production and transformed into a professional army out of the status of the people. Founded by Li Zicheng himself, this is a professional army with a brand-new military system composed of generals, generals Guo Yi, mighty generals, captains, brigade commanders, department generals, and sentinel generals.
In front of Li Zicheng, an army of 100,000 slowly walked out of Jingcheng Pass. On the long mountain road, all of them are the banners of the Shun army and the soldiers of the Shun army. They set out from Pingdingzhou, all the way through the reed pass pass, Guguan, and filled the entire mountain road. The narrow mountain road and the huge army filled the entire mountain road, and it was still not completely out after walking for three days in a row.
Until today......
On June 9, 276 of the Ming Dynasty, this full 100,000 army was finally completely outside the Jingcheng Pass.
As a result, Li Zicheng saw a huge army array and a sea of people that spread all over the mountains and filled the entire horizon, as if they could balance the sea.
This is his army, an army that is about to destroy the old world and create a new dynasty.
They are no longer a rabble, but under the leadership of Li Zicheng, the ambitious emperor of Shunguo, under the command of generals who have been tested for a long time and have been trained after a hundred battles, they fought and took revenge...... Snow shame.
Yixue was ashamed of losing the battle for glory in Kaifeng that year!
Prove to the people who are watching from the whole world that this true son of heaven is him Li Zicheng! It's him the emperor of Dashun Kingdom! The shame of a series of defeats in the past Kaifeng battle will be gone!
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng clenched his fists lightly, slowly opened them and waved his hand gently.
"Woo woo woo ......" a herald sounded the horn.
Subsequently, under this subdued, one by one the trumpets were sounded, and the military orders were conveyed in this way, and the entire plain outside the Jingcheng Pass was full of dull sounds of horns being blown.
After that, it was the change of the various departments after receiving the order. The orders of the queue were passed down one by one, and when it finally reached every ordinary soldier, a neat queue began to slowly appear.
Li Zicheng's five battalions of soldiers and horses were lined up outside Jingcheng Pass, being inspected by the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng.
Among them, the Zhongquan pro-army was because of the torture of Liu Zongmin, who was deeply appreciated by Li Zicheng in Taiyuan, and behind Liu Zongmin, there was the handsome and mighty general Zhang Nai, and the general Guo Yi Gu Kecheng); Shuai Biao Right Mighty General **** Shuai Biao Consequence Yi General Wu Ruyi.
It is said that the left battalion that should be on the left side of the Chinese army. However, General Liu Fangliang is leading General Zuo Guoyi, Ma Shiyao and other troops to fight in Luoyang on the southern front battlefield and Fu Rugui's troops in Kaifeng. Therefore, on the left side of the formation was Liu Rukuiquan, the right mighty general who divided his troops from Luoyang to the north, and acted as the left battalion of soldiers and horses.
On the right side of the Chinese army is Liu Xiyao, the general of the right battalion, and the troops under his command are Bai Minghe, the general of Zuo Guoyi, and Liu Tichun, the general of Guoyi on the right.
In front of the left of the middle camp are the front battalions: the system general Xie Junyou, and the right Guoyi general Tian Hu. This was originally Li Yan's name, but later Li Yan gathered the elite soldiers of various departments and got the new name of the Dashun Imperial Forest Army, so he let Xie Junyou go to the front camp.
Corresponding to the front battalion, there is actually a rear battalion, and the general is Li Guo. It's just that Li Guo is crossing the Yellow River with Zuo Guoyi's general Zhang Neng at this moment, heading towards Taiyuan, joining up with Ma Chongxi, the right Guoyi's general, and then continuing to attack the Ming army north.
In addition, there is also one person who was posthumously crowned as a general, this person is He Jin, but He Jin has died in battle, although Li Zicheng remembers, he only sent his family members to win people's hearts, and the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Left with He Jin do not know how much combat power they have filled the Shun army.
In addition to these five battalions of soldiers and horses, the main force of the Shun army is still a little ahead, the Dashun Imperial Forest Army, which has already left Jingcheng Pass a few days earlier to fight against the Ming army in Luzhen, and Li Yan, who led them, was also awarded the title of general.
At this moment, except for Tian Jianxiu, the general who stayed in Xi'an, Liu Fangliang, the general who went south, and Li Guo, the general who went north, all the main generals of the Shun army were outside Jingcheng Pass.
There were 100,000 troops here, and they were all sorted, lined up in dense queues like the ocean, and the crowds were crowded like waves in the sea. Under the loud shouts in unison, the sound waves soared into the sky. In a fit of rage, the sky collapsed, and the mountains and rivers changed.
At this moment, Li Zicheng's ambition swelled, he turned around again, felt the power of the 100,000 warriors behind him transmitted to his chest, and said proudly: "Order all the departments to set up camp, and I will be promoted to the general!" ”
"Emperor Dashun ordered: All departments are encamped, and the tent will be promoted when the time comes!"
"Emperor Dashun ordered: All departments are encamped, and the tent will be promoted when the time comes!"
One by one, the heralds galloped away, spreading the emperor's military orders to the ears of generals everywhere.
……
Li Nian listened to the herald in front of him running over, and rode his horse towards Li Yan on the other side: "Big brother, Your Majesty has sent a military order!" It's going to be a matter of discussion! ”
Li Yan was in a daze, and after listening to Li Nian's order, he came back to his senses, listened quietly, and said, "Okay." I'll go over it. ”
"Big brother, something is wrong with you." Li Nian noticed something was wrong.
Li Yan smiled and said, "What's wrong?" It's just a common face. ”
"Big brother, why lie to me. The Flying Bear Regiment has been nailed to the town of Deer and we have not moved for so many days, and now at the moment, which one in the army does not criticize us and wait? Li Nian was a little anxious.
Li Yan walked towards the Shunjun military tent and said, "Philistine, what is it worth being anxious about?" Good steel is used on the blade, and I have never pressed all the main forces up, in order to prove to a group of mediocre people that I am not vulgar? There is still more credit waiting for us to win than the take-off bear group! Younger brother, you can relax! ”
After speaking, Li Yan confidently walked into the camp of the handsome tent.
Li Nian thoughtfully followed into Li Zicheng's handsome tent camp.
Inside the tent, the generals gathered and greeted each other. Only when Li Yan came in, many people stopped talking, and only a few people said this to Xie Junyou, Tian Hu and Li Yan.
However, Li Zicheng was quite happy when he saw Li Yan, and stepped forward to beckon Li Yan to stand closer.
Not long after, when Liu Zongmin also came in, Li Yan glanced at the audience and coughed lightly, and everyone was silent.
The military conference began.
"I called the big guy today, and you don't have to guess what you're going to do. They all understood that it was to defeat the official army and take this Zhu Mingxia. There have been a lot of situations recently, and before the military discussion, the military division will share it with you! Li Zicheng looked at Song Xiance.
Under everyone's sideways, Song Xiance clapped his hands and summoned a huge table.
The table was a foot long and a foot wide, and there were even a few small wooden wheels under the table. Several soldiers carried and pushed, which allowed everyone to see the true face of this thing in the sound of squeaking.
"What is this?" Li Zicheng was interested.
Song Xiance said with a smile: "This thing is called a sand table, what is the origin, but I want General Li Yan of the Royal Forest Army to tell me." ”
Li Yan threw a grateful look at Song Xiance, and then everyone listened to him laugh and said: "This is part of the logistics baggage of the Flying Bear Battalion, according to the words of some captured Ming soldiers, this thing is called a sand table." On it, you can copy the geographical topography one by one, and we can clearly understand the battle situation and terrain when we look down on the sand table again. In this way, the terrain can be used by me. The layout of the platoon can be light. ”
"This is the town of Deer, this is the seamount? There is also a bulge on the top is Phoenix Mountain? …… Well, yes, the mountains and rivers of Zhendingfu can be seen at a glance. It's a lot easier to arrange troops. Li Zicheng was greatly appreciative.
The expressions of everyone looking at Li Yan were different again.
Liu Zongmin snorted coldly and said, "Let me see where Luzhen is?" Yo, this is it? The location is quite critical, stuck on the road to Zhending Mansion. It seems that nothing else. Let's talk about this Deer Town first, otherwise, it will be useless to say anything. I can't go anywhere here! ”
The main general opened his mouth, and Gu Kecheng, who was behind Liu Zongmin, also followed and said: "I don't know how to fight these days, if the Zhongying pro-army breaks the town of Deer as soon as it starts, then how can it be done?" ”
"I'm afraid somebody is going to blush. Hahaha......" Wu Ruyi laughed.
There was a chuckle in the tent, and Li Nian's face suddenly turned red and he glared angrily, understanding that the other party was ridiculing the previous offensive of the Royal Forest Army.
Li Zicheng looked at everyone and glanced at it coldly, and everyone stopped talking: "Let's talk about it."
Song Xiance was ordered to compare the situation on the sand table.
At this time, the topography of the mountains and rivers from Jingcheng Pass to Zhending Mansion is much simpler. Out of the Jingcheng Pass is the North China Plain, which is flat bottom at a glance, and the officers and soldiers are no longer in danger.
Of course, Liu Zongmin's sour words are not simply an attack.
The place where you get the town of Deer is really important.
To the north of Houlu Town is a series of small hills such as Haishan Phoenix Mountain, and to the south is Dazhai Mountain and Lianwuzhai Mountain. Not to mention the Jingcheng Pass in the west, in short, it is a small basin surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only a large exit is left in the east, which is the passage into the North China Plain.
Such a place, of course, cannot stop the army of 100,000.
But there is a trump card main force of the official army that can't be beaten behind, that is, it is like a fish in the throat, and it is not happy to vomit. Do everything you have to think that there is an official army behind you, in case the Flying Bear Battalion goes crazy, the result of the road is not guaranteed, the chrysanthemum cries, and even loses the whole game.
Hearing the terrain, everyone's expressions when they looked at Li Yan were a little bad.
Li Yan opened his mouth again: "I asked my subordinates not to rush to take Deer Town. ”
"Oh?" At this moment, not only Liu Zongmin was surprised, but also the commanders of the other battalions were surprised. Liu Rukui, Liu Xiyao and Xie Junyou looked at each other and discussed one after another.
"Li Yan, this is stupid, right?"
"How can there be such a war? Even if you really can't beat it, you can't tell such a lie, right? ”
"Is there anything else on mind? If you don't want to take the credit for this, then it's stupid. You know, ten birds in the forest, it's better to have one bird in hand! ”
……
"Tell me about it." Li Zicheng is an old god. He didn't believe that Li Yan would be stupid, since it wasn't such a low-level mistake, there must be a key reason for it.
Li Yan said with a smile: "This flying bear camp is so strong, to be honest, the last general never expected." At that time, it was just a weak new army, but now it has become a famous strong army in the world. There were only more than 3,000 soldiers, and they rushed out in the overlapping rush of the ambush, which shows the strength of the combat power. Such a strong soldier, rummaging through my army, it is absolutely impossible to find a comparable soldier. ”
"So you can't beat it?" Inside the tent, Gu Kecheng laughed in a low voice: "It's a good reason to excuse yourself." ”
Li Yan continued: "Naturally, such a strong soldier, rummaging through all the departments under Zhu Cihong's tent, is also irreplaceable, and it is difficult to give up. ”
Li Zicheng leaned forward and got up with his heart, he guessed some key points: "You mean ......"
Li Yan bowed his head slowly: "The Flying Bear Regiment is already half-crippled after the ambush, so there is no need to worry." Therefore, besieging but not attacking forced Na Zhu Ci to follow our rhythm and choose the main battlefield in Zhulu Town. This is the first point, let me Dashun gain the strategic dominance. ”
"What about the second point?" Li Zicheng couldn't help but nod. The initiative of the strategy, listening to the high-end atmosphere on the grade.
In fact, as a wild roader, Li Zicheng understands too well how much advantage the strategic initiative can have. Naturally, I understand how powerful Li Yan's move is.
"The second point is ......" Li Yan said with a smile: "The last general has already discovered the terrain and found a small path in the Jiujing Mountain in the southeast corner, which is enough for my department to lead the elite main force through Dujiazhuang, go around Da Li Zhuang all the way, and appear here!" ”
As he spoke, Li Yan picked up a small stick and lightly tapped it at a place marked Dongmazhuang.
There, it's the east of the town of Deer! Here, the town of Deer has been obtained!
"And then, there's the third point." Li Yan squinted his eyes and smiled, his eyes kept flashing, looking wise and playful.
"What is the third point? Li Aiqing, please come quickly! Li Zicheng has already felt the ingenuity of this strategy.
Li Yan's time to arrive early here is really not a waste!
"Nature is...... By the people who are good at fighting in our army, they surrounded this Deer Town, and the fight became louder and louder, and the more dazzling it was, so that the main force of General Zhu Cihong's official army eagerly entered Delu Town...... Then ......" Li Yan stopped with a smile: "At least General Quan must know." ”
There is not a single stupid person here who understands what will happen again.
If you rush to save your robe with the army, and you are fighting with the main force of the enemy, and suddenly there is another army and horse behind you, anyone who thinks about it will shudder.
And now, this shuddering object is about to be detained on the top of Zhu Cihong's head by them together! (To be continued.) )
