Chapter 220: Awful

If the reinforcements do not arrive, even if the defenders of the fort can still hold it, they will be uneasy because they are fighting alone, Zhou Wen was able to rely on thousands of people to fight with Huan Chu at the beginning of the army, and gradually grew to more than 60,000 subordinates in a difficult environment, so he naturally has a certain understanding of the army's heart. He knew that continuous marching was not good, but in order to keep the defenders of the fort strong, he had to rise quickly.

14,000 people don't have to fight to the death with the invading Qin army immediately, Zhou Wen's arrangement is very simple, they only need to appear on the battlefield, the defenders of the fort who are fighting alone will be demoralized when they find that reinforcements are coming, and the Qin army besieging the fort will also suspend the attack on the fort because of their appearance.

There are new defenders on the battlefield, and according to common sense, the Qin army will definitely stop the offensive and adjust it slightly, so that the defenders of the fort who can breathe can repair some of the fortifications, even if it takes more time to delay.

Zhou Wen had already thought about it, and when he arrived at the battlefield to attract the attention of the Qin army, he then used the hidden boat to replenish his troops and supplies from the waterway to the fort according to Lu Zhe's arrangement, and then immediately retreated.

It is the best way to dangle a shot, it is not advisable to fight a field battle with the Qin army before the strength is not superior, and they don't have to retreat far, they only need to retreat fifteen miles and set up a village near Fort A No. 3, form a complementary trend with Fort A. 3, and then wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.

The forces of Jiangling and Yiling are moving towards Nanling, and the total number of 50,000 guest troops can reach Nanling City in one day, and when they arrive, they will meet with the 50,000 troops in the city, so that the strength gathered by Lu Zhe will reach 100,000.

In fact, 30,000 of Nanling's 50,000 troops could set off at any time, but they did not detect the main force of the Qin army earlier. Now that it has been found that the main force of the Qin army is on the front line of Chushui County, we have waited for the results to be taken, and the corresponding response must be necessary.

Before leaving, Lu Zhe sent a letter to Yan Bi, who was still in Changsha County, ordering him to pay close attention to Wu Rui's actions, and sent a letter to Zheng Hao in Lujiang County to ask him to stabilize Huan Chu. The content of the two letters has the same thing, that is, if any instability is discovered, it should be warned at all costs.

100,000 Qin troops, not 100,000 chaotic troops. Lu Zhe didn't know how long this battle would last, and he didn't know what Cheng Dù would fight. All the troops can be transferred to the front line of Nanyang County, at this time, if there is a fire in the backyard, it will be a double-sided attack, and there is nothing to think about at that time, he can only transfer the troops of Hengshan County back, and use 200,000 troops to stick to Nanling City, which has just built a city wall, abandon most of the area of Nanjun to stick to Nanling, and then retreat to Cangwu County on the south bank of the Yangtze River and slowly lick his wounds.

The day after the outbreak of the war, the mission-bearer rushed to Jingling overnight. As soon as he arrived, he immediately inspected the granary, counted enough grain and grass for 100,000 people to eat for a month, and ordered people to load the boats that had been prepared for a long time, and went straight to Yan County against the current.

That is, the next day after Jingling grain and grass went to Yan County by water, the 100,000 troops of Nanling were led by Lu Zhe and set off by land with five days of dry food.

Transporting grain from Jingling's waterway to Yan County in one day and night was a pre-arranged countermeasure when deliberately creating a weak defense line in the direction of Nanyang County. They won't just make this trip, they'll ship it back and forth.

Nanling is about 150 miles away from Yan County. It also takes two days to arrive at the earliest, and even more for the military equipment behind.

The Qianshou of Nanjun had long been accustomed to the movement of troops back and forth, but when the wolf smoke rose from the north and another 100,000 troops set off from Nanling, they immediately froze.

The township through which the army of 100,000 passed. Seeing the people of the mighty army, they really couldn't believe that there was going to be a war, and this time it was not the main of the three counties who was going to recruit anyone, and the belated proclamation from the government was very clear. It was 100,000 Qin troops who invaded from the direction of Nanyang County!

Fighting? Yes, the territory of Nanjun is just quiet for less than eight months, and there will be another war!

The head of the Qianqian on the northern line seemed to remember that some time ago, the government was advising people to go to the south and go to Nanling New Town. If you want to immigrate to Cangwu County, there will be a better policy. Only now did they realize that the government had already been aware of the invasion of the Qin army, so they had arranged it like that?

The news that 100,000 Qin troops came from the direction of Nanyang County was not transmitted by the people themselves, and the government posted notices generously. Lu Zhe knew too well that this kind of thing could not be concealed, and the more he concealed the news, the more bizarre it would be, maybe one moment it would be 100,000 Qin troops to attack, and the next moment 100,000 would become 200,000, 300,000, or 400,000. Rumors will turn into rumors, and it is better for the government to notify the government itself before things get worse, even if it is not good news, so that the situation will not be thrown out of control by rumors.

On the front line of Nanyang County in Nanjun County, when the notice was posted, many Qiantou ran to ask the government, saying that the policy some time ago was still effective.

The local government did not receive an order to abolish the administration, but in wartime, under normal circumstances, civil incidents were not allowed to occur in the war zone, and the officials saw that more and more people were gathering to the government. After replying, the county magistrate or the county magistrate sent someone to urgently inform Nanling, while on the other hand, they were delaying time in the name of the organization.

When Lü Zhe received the official letter from the county commander (chief), he was on the march. He saw four letters of inquiry from the county commander (chief), and more than 30 letters from the three elders from various townships, and his face was a little cloudy and uncertain on the war horse.

Non-wartime migration is risky, and wartime large-scale migration is even more unseemly.

Now that the immigrants are immigrating, it is not advisable to let the townships and counties organize themselves without the protection of the army, and it is not advisable at all to maintain order, and if one person does evil, it will cause chaos, if ten people are vicious, it will cause turmoil, and if there are 100 people roaring, it will be a popular uprising. If you are a little careless, don't shout out "Princely Jiangning has a kind of" that Daze Township didn't shout out in Nanjun.

If there are at least 5,000 troops in the 100,000 Guizhou provinces, and nearly 200,000 Qiantou in four counties on the northern border will need to move south with their families and mouths, so at least 10,000 troops will be needed to escort and maintain order along the way.

10,000 troops! 100,000 Qin troops are coming, even a thousand troops are precious now, escorting and maintaining the order of the relocation of the head of the Qian, it is not easier than fighting a hard battle, it must be an army with strict military discipline, and it may be worse if it is sent to an army with poor military discipline.

Lu Zhe, an army that can be called a strict military discipline, now only has 30,000 on hand, and these 30,000 are also important soldiers that he can rely on to carry the Qin army on the front line of Ye County!

Even the wise can make mistakes. Lu Zhe knew that he was not a wise man, but just a "well-informed" person. When he was planning the battle, he had considered the situation after the outbreak of war, and after the failure of the last migration, he thought that the Qianshou would not be willing to leave their homeland even if the war broke out, but he was wrong, obviously the Qianshou knew what it would be like to be in the war zone when the war broke out.

"Mr. Kuai." Lü Zheze controlled the direction of the horse, and when he approached, he handed the folded wooden coffin and bamboo pieces to Kuaitong, who was also riding a horse.

Kuaitong took over the reading piece by piece, looked up at Lu Zhe and immediately said, "For the time being, you can't let the Qianshou in the north retreat!" His face was very ugly.

As long as you are not stupid, you know what that means, the Qianshou on the front line is moving backwards, so what will the Qianshou in the back think when they find out? They estimated that the first thought was that the front could not withstand it, and the second thought was to roll up the package and flee with it. Co-location, two-place ...... More Qianshou will flee, which will inevitably cause unpredictable results, and the front will fight, how to fight if the rear is chaotic?

Lu Zhe also reacted in an instant, he finally knew the importance of having a strategist. What he was thinking about just now was only the issue of troops, and he didn't think of the impact of the retreat of the northern Qianshou, but Kuaitong thought of it, this is the importance of strategists!

“…… Lord, quickly order someone to delay the head ahead. Hurry up and send someone to the rear," Kuaitong's voice was relatively low: "What we can do now is to transfer the Qiantou in the back first, and the Qianshou in the south will be transferred first, and then the Qianshou in the north." It is very different from the front line to withdraw first, and the rear to withdraw first will have very little panic even if there will be. ”

In other words, it has changed, it has become the first transfer of the rear line, and then the retreat of the front line!

Lu Zhe thought about it, it was the same as the transfer of the head of the Qianqian during the war, and the method of Kuaitong from south to north would indeed minimize panic, which was the best way at present. In fact, he also knew that if the fort in front of him could withstand this, it would be nothing, and once he could not withstand the northern Qianshou, he would suffer, but war was war, and what they could do was to minimize the danger to the overall situation.

Selected a few good riders from the pro-soldiers, Lu Zhe dismounted and immediately wrote an order and stamped it with a big seal, and then several pro-soldiers galloped away with their mission.

Watching his soldiers leave, Lu Zhe temporarily broke away from the marching brigade, he let go to the side of the road and called "Ji Bu" loudly, and called Ji Bu three times in a row before running over. He looked at Ji Bu, who was wearing five hundred main leather armor, "Give you the right to be a temporary military marquis," Ji Bu was stunned for a moment.

Lu Zhe simply jumped off the war horse as he spoke, beckoned Ji Bu to get closer, and lowered his voice to keep explaining something.

Ji Bu couldn't help but open his mouth wide in embarrassment when he heard this, and when he heard that the wings were also going forward, and he got the promise that things would be done and he would be restored to his original position, he gritted his teeth and nodded. Waiting for Lu Zhe to finish explaining that he was calling for the wings, he walked to Kuaitong with a tense face and relayed what Lu Zhe said, Kuaitong seemed to be stunned for a moment before reacting, and then the two lowered their voices and asked and answered for a long time.

When the wing flail came, Lu Zhe explained to himself, he was much simpler than Ji Bu, and from beginning to end, even when he heard Lu Zhe say "You can kill him without telling him if necessary", his face did not change. After hearing this, his face was stern: "Please rest assured, the shackles will not live up to their mission!" ”

The number of Lu Zhe's pro-army was 3,000, and when Ji Bu and Wing Flail each led 1,000 to leave the army, the generals and colonels at all levels couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it, and they eagerly wanted to know if Lu Zhe was also leaving. Waiting for them to see Lu Zhe's handsome banner still marching with the army, they speculated in their hearts about what had happened. (To be continued......)
