Chapter 1168: Leaving a poem to provoke
Two hours later, in the temporary camp of the Goguryeo army just now, there were all the chariots and banners thrown in a disorderly manner, and even a lot of grain, grass and war equipment were thrown together, hundreds of fires were burning, and the temperature of the embers made the Sui soldiers in the entire camp sweat and have a lot of ashes on their faces.
"God studies astronomy, calculates poor geography, defeats both high merit, and is content with the clouds." Yu Zhongwen looked at a large flagpole on a tree, a large white cloth banner fluttering high, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with these five quatrains, and read it softly.
Deputy General Chen Zhiluo, who was the general who had threaded the needle for Xiao Maha's rebellion, was also captured by Yang Xuangan on the spot, and afterwards because of Yang Guangxin's amnesty decree on the throne, this person was not only released, but also later tried to find a way to join the army, seven or eight years down, he actually slowly mixed up with the official position of a tiger general, this time it was also with Yang Guang's guard Zhang Tongren, assigned to the right military guard general Yu Zhongwen, became his right-hand man.
Chen Zhiluo's brows furrowed, and he said, "General, what does this Yizhi Wende mean?" Do you want us to stop in moderation and stop now? ”
Zhang Tongren was a rough man, and said with a big grin: "This kid must have been scared, so he hurriedly burned the camp and retreated, and then left this bullshit poem, wanting to please the general, general, don't listen to him, let's continue to chase." ”
Yu Zhongwen shook his head thoughtfully: "You don't understand, in this Yizhi Wende's poem, there is an implicit intention of persuading to retreat, and it is not aimed at my army, but me Yu Zhongwen personally." ”
Chen Zhi smiled slightly: "General, I would like to hear about it." ”
Yu Zhongwen smiled and pointed to the white cloth: "He means I'm Yu Zhongwen." Knowledgeable astronomy and geography. Clever and calculating. Now that he has succeeded in crossing the Sashui River, and has seen through their strategy of delaying the army, and forced them to hurriedly burn the camp and retreat, that is to say, he has defeated, but here he said that the victory is high, and the wish is stopped, that is, I have already achieved the merit. There is no need to fight so hard, if you continue to chase it, they will resist desperately, I may not be able to please it, besides, if I Yu Zhongwen monopolizes the great merit, it will also cause dissatisfaction among my colleagues, so be content and stop in moderation. ”
Zhang Tongren scolded hatefully: "This old man is really accurate, and he seems to know that there is a rivalry between the general and Marshal Yuwen." What to do now, if you chase it again. Will you run into an enemy ambush? ”
Yu Zhongwen smiled and shook his head: "You guys, you are still too young, the Cao Sui polemic in Lu back then, used to be before the pursuit, you have to look at the ruts and flags of the enemy, only when the ruts are scattered and the enemy is crooked, and when they are not in array, do you know that the enemy army is really defeated, not a false defeat." ”
He pointed to the chaotic and chaotic wheel prints on the ground with his hand, and said with a smile: "Look at this Goguryeo people, don't say that the wheel prints and horseshoe prints are mixed together and intertwined, and even the footprints of these infantry are crooked and twisted, and they are no longer strictly organized, which shows that when they evacuated, they were no longer in a queue, and it can almost be said that they were fleeing in a group. How could he do such a thing if he had not been completely broken? ”
He turned his head to Chen Zhiluo and Zhang Tongren and said: "Order, light cavalry in front, iron cavalry in the rear, send scout cavalry everywhere to prevent the enemy from ambushing and chasing the tail of the enemy army." ”
Chen Zhiluo said curiously: "What, don't you chase and kill with all your might?" General, didn't you say that the enemy army is no longer in a queue and has no way to reorganize? ”
Yu Zhongwen smiled and waved his hand: "Although the enemy army has been chaotic, but after all, Yizhi Wende is also a famous general, even if the army is scattered and run, it will leave the elite soldiers to break off, at this time their fighting spirit is still there, if our army rashly pursues, it may be ambushed by the enemy, so it can't be too anxious now, let the light cavalry bite the enemy in front, and the heavy cavalry will be behind, if the enemy stops to resist, then the iron cavalry will arrive, and the four will rush to kill, and it will be a big victory!" Anyway, our army is an all-cavalry unit, and it has an advantage in speed. ”
Zhang Tongren said with a smile: "The general is clever, and his subordinates obey orders." ”
Yu Wenshu was riding on a horse, with more than 100,000 infantry, and was chasing forward at the speed of a rapid march, and a wave of scouts in front kept reporting the battle situation in front of him, and each report made his face even more gloomy. The brows are tightly locked, and those who don't know still think that the front is defeated and the war is unfavorable!
"Report! Marshal, General Yu defeated the Goguryeo army again, beheaded 617 levels, our army lost less than 30, and now the Goguryeo army has fled in despair, and General Yu is pursuing! ”
Yuwen Shu waved his hand expressionlessly: "Got it, explore it again!" ”
Yuwen Chengdu couldn't help but say: "Grandpa, did you really let the surnamed Yu chase all the way like this?" This is the sixth time he has defeated Eulji Moondeok, and within two days, he has won six battles and six victories, and now he is less than 200 miles away from Pyongyang City. ”
Yuwenshu's eyes flashed coldly: "With his 50,000 cavalry, if he wants to capture the fortified city of Pyongyang, it is a dream, and although the Goguryeo army has lost six battles and six defeats, it has not lost too much each time, and the six battles add up to thousands of casualties, without hurting the muscles and bones, in my opinion, they still have a very strong strength, far from the point of giving Yu Zhongwen a battle to eliminate." ”
Yuwen Chengdu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then now that Yu Zhongwen has opened our army for more than fifty miles, there is a suspicion that the lone army is going deeper, do you want us to give an order now and ask him to return to the army?" ”
Yu Wenshu smiled and waved his hand: "That's too obvious, no need, I have other ways, naturally I can let him withdraw from the army and come back to join our army." ”
Yuwen Chengdu's eyes lit up: "Grandpa has any good way, can you teach your grandson?" ”
Yu Wenshu smiled slightly: "Do you think about how Yu Zhongwen's 50,000 cavalry can be like infantry, carrying food and war equipment on their shoulders?" He has been chasing for almost three days now, and his dry food has been eaten, and if he doesn't come back to move closer to our army, will he want to starve to death? ”
Yuwen Chengdu suddenly realized, Yuwen Shu said to the herald behind him: "Order, march at a normal speed, send someone to inform General Yu Zhongwen of the front army, saying that the infantry army can't keep up with the speed of their cavalry, let him come quickly and get closer, and wait for the infantry and cavalry to become one, and then go to pursue the enemy!" ”
Looking at the figure of the herald in the distance, the corners of Yuwenshu's mouth hooked up a sneer: "Yu Zhongwen, thank you for helping me get rid of the damn Liu Shilong, but now, you have lost your use value, and next, it is up to me Yuwenshu." (To be continued.) )
