Chapter 443: The Breakthrough of the Fan Yong Army (II)
Although the battle was tight, but in the middle of the night, the camp of the Qin army was still brightly lit, and the fierce fighting for days not only caused the Qin army to suffer a lot of casualties, but also made the Qin army feel tired, so after returning to the camp, he also fell asleep early.
But at this time, the lights were lit in the Chinese army tent of the Qin army, and the guards of each battalion also rushed to the Chinese army tent one after another in the dark, although the vast majority of people were woken up from their sleep, but they did not dare to slack off at all, because they all received Wang Jian's order, and immediately rushed to the Chinese army's big tent, there was an important military discussion, so they had to get up and rush to the middle army with soft sleepy eyes, of course, whether there was a slander against Wang Jian's order in their hearts, it is unknown.
After everyone arrived, I saw Wang Jian with a solemn face, sitting behind the handsome case, and the generals were not nervous when they saw it, it seemed that something important must have happened, and Wang Jian would gather the generals in the middle of the night.
When all the generals arrived, Wang Jian said: "Generals, before the old man ordered you to come, I just received news that a representative army broke through the camp in the east and killed our encirclement. ”
All the generals looked at each other, did Wang Jian recruit everyone for this reason? Naturally, there will be defenders breaking through in siege battles, so it is normal for an army to break through in Daliang City. Of course, being broken out by the defenders is certainly not good news for the Qin army, but it does not mean that everyone will be recruited to the Chinese army camp overnight.
Wang Jian looked left and right, and said: "The soldiers who are guarding the position report that it is a cavalry army that has broken through, and there are still a large number of spare war horses, so it can also be concluded that the cavalry army that broke through is the Fan Yong Army of the Dai Army." ”
Hearing the Fan Yongjun, many generals couldn't help but be alert, after all, this is the army that gives the Qin army the most headache, no one dares to underestimate it, but at this time there are still many people in a mess in their minds, so they can't judge what the breakthrough of the Fan Yong Army means to the Qin army, but I feel that Wang Jian recruited everyone to the big tent of the Chinese army, which seems to make a little sense. There are also a few people who think that the breakthrough of the Fan Yong army is not bad news for the Qin army, because the strongest army of the defenders has broken through, so won't the strength of the defending city be weakened? Wouldn't it be easier for the Qin army to attack the city in this way?
Therefore, Li Xin came out of the column and said: "General, the Fan Yong Army is the strongest army under the plateau, and now that it has broken through, wouldn't it be easier for us to attack Daliang again?" At least don't worry about the plateau sending a brave army to attack. ”
Xin Sheng also said: "Yes, maybe it's because the plateau found that the general trend has gone, so he chose to break through, maybe the plateau will break through with the Fan Yong army, and the current Daliang City is just an empty city." ”
Wang Jian snorted and said, "You also think about the plateau too simply." ”
At this time, Wang Ben said: "The Fan Yong army broke out, and for my Qin army, it was endless troubles. If they are trapped in the city, although it is not good for our Qin army, but they can still deal with it, but they are outside the city, and they will inevitably use our transport team and the cantonment point of grain and grass materials to attack the main target, which is the most difficult to deal with. ”
Hearing Wang Ben say this, the generals suddenly realized, and some people also remembered that during the Battle of Xingkou, the Fan Yong Army attacked the transport team of the Qin army many times; Some people even thought that at the time of the Battle of Jingcheng, although there was no Fan Yong army at that time, Gao Yuan also led the cavalry of the Zhao army to attack the Qin army's convoy many times, which gave the Qin army a headache. Wang Jian was forced to build forts along the transport route to cope with the surprise attacks of the Zhao army.
But at that time, the Qin army's supply line was only more than 160 miles, of course, fortresses could be built along the road to protect the transport team, and now the Qin army's supply line is more than 200 miles even if it is counted from Zhongmu, not to mention that the grain and grass materials stored by Zhongmu are only enough for the Qin army for two or three months, and they still need to be constantly replenished. Therefore, it is no longer possible to protect convoys by building forts along the way.
And in this way, the supply line that is hundreds of miles long will all be under the threat of the Fan Yong army, and when they think of this, many generals of the Qin army have realized that the situation is serious.
Wang Jian nodded at this time, and said: "That's right, this move of the plateau is very high, in the past few days, we have continuously attacked Daliang, and I have been guarding against him for sending the Fan Yong Army to attack, then I thought that he actually let the Fan Yong Army break through directly, although it is only a few thousand cavalry troops, but it is a big trouble for my Qin army." ”
Yang Duanhe said: "General, now that the Fan Yong Army has broken through, how should we deal with it?" ”
Wang Jian pondered for a while, and then said: "Pass the old man's order, all the garrison places of grain and grass materials, all double the garrison, double the garrison on duty at night, the camp wall and trench must be built immediately, strictly garrisoned, once there is a generation of troops attacking, must be strictly guarded, if there is a mistake, the garrison general, deputy general, from the general will be beheaded, and the rest of the soldiers will be degraded to the north to fill the army." ”
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, although Wang Jian governed the army strictly, but rarely used severe punishment to govern the army, and this time there was obviously no other way, under the threat of the Fan Yong army, they could only use severe punishment to force the defenders who guarded the grain and grass materials to guard desperately. At present, the grain and grass materials on the front line of the Qin army are enough to last for three to five months, and the first thing is of course to ensure the safety of this batch of grain and grass materials.
Wang Jian then said: "Yang Duanhe, Wang Ben." ”
Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben hurriedly came out of the queue and said in unison: "The last general." ”
Wang Jian said: "Yang Duanhe, you lead 30,000 horses, and now immediately rush to Zhongmu to garrison and supervise the delivery of grain and grass materials." All transport teams, all reduced in size, each transport team of vehicles shall not exceed 200, more than multiple, separate march, once encountered the Fan Yongjun, can not resist, immediately throw down the material vehicle to escape, and then go back to re-transport. ”
Yang Duanhe hurriedly said: "The last general respects the order." ”
In fact, this is also a way that there is no way, because now the Qin army really has no way to take the Fan Yong Army, so it has to use this method of breaking up the whole into parts and advancing at the same time, so that the team is dispersed, and the risk can also be dispersed, even if one or two transportation teams are attacked by the Fan Yong Army, but other grain and grass materials can be transported along the way. In fact, it is better to sacrifice some of the grain and grass materials to ensure the safety of other grain and grass materials than to rob the entire transportation team and get nothing at all. As for which transport team was attacked and which one was able to escape, it would be a matter of fate.
And the generals have no objection to Wang Jian's arrangement, after all, no one can come up with a better way than Wang Jian.
Wang Jian said again: "Wang Ben, you lead the cavalry and go to Zhongmu with Yang Duanhe, and every time you inspect the grain road, there must be no mistakes." Once the whereabouts of the Fan Yong Army are discovered, you can't fight with it, you can only interfere with the invasion, and then notify Yang Duanhe, send a large army to encircle and conquer, and you must not be brave and strong, and fight with the Fan Yong Army alone, otherwise I will engage in military law. ”
Wang Ben's heart sank, and he said, "The last general will not dare." ”
Wang Jian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Early tomorrow morning, the two of you will leave immediately." After a pause, Wang Jian said again: "Tomorrow the precession of the attack on the girder will be canceled, after the generals go back, they must strictly guard the camp, and step up the work, and strive to complete it as soon as possible, Zheng Shuiling has written to me the day before yesterday, the water potential of the Yellow River has risen to a sufficient water level, as long as the cofferdam is completed, the city can be flooded at any time." ”
But the generals listened to Wang Jian's order, and they also felt a little surprised, the construction has been going very smoothly in the past few days, all because the Qin army has been suppressing the defenders with an attack, and once the Qin army stopped attacking Daliang, wouldn't it give the defenders another opportunity to attack the Qin army's position?
Therefore, Li Xin came out again: "General, as soon as we stop attacking Daliang, then the defenders will attack from the city, attack our army's position, and interfere with our construction, what should we do?" ”
Wang Jian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, since the Fan Yong army has broken through, the defenders will never attack again." If there is no Fan Yongjun, even if the defenders attack again, there is no need to worry. ”
Although the main force attacking the Qin army's position in the past was the Shengjie army, not the Fan Yong army, in fact, the Fan Yong army still played an irreplaceable role in it. Because it is precisely because of the surprise attack, containment, and blocking of reinforcements by the Fan Yong Army that the coalition army's sorties can be successfully successful, so if the Fan Yong Army is missing, the power of the defenders to attack again will be greatly reduced, with the current strength of the Qin army, it can be completely handled, and maybe it can also give the defenders a combined encirclement and a hard blow.
After listening to Wang Jian's explanation, all the generals were convinced, and then they all expressed their obedience.
Then Wang Jian said again: "Han Teng listens to the order." Han Teng stepped out of the column and said, "The last will be." ”
Wang Jian said: "You take the people and horses of the headquarters, and rush to Xingkou early tomorrow morning, defend the mouth of the Yellow River, defend the embankment along the chasm, listen to the order, and prepare to open the mouth of the river. ”
Han Teng said: "The last general will respect the order." ”
Wang Jian said: "Generals, according to the old man's estimate, it will take at least ten days before the water irrigates the Liang, and this time is also the time for us to attack the Wei State this time, so please work together to wait until the day of the water irrigation, that is, the time when our Great Qin army celebrates the victory." ”
The generals immediately said in unison: "The last general respects the order of the general. ”
Wang Jian got up with satisfaction and said, "Scatter the account." After finishing speaking, Wang Jian turned back to the back tent.
And when the generals 3322 walked out of the tent of the Chinese army, the night was about to pass, the sky had gradually brightened, and the sky was flooded with a piece of fish belly white, and it was gradually dyed with a layer of gorgeous red glow.
