Chapter 0847 - Undercurrents are surging
The main account of the Yuan army is brightly lit.
Wuliang Hetai waved everyone away, and walked back and forth in the main tent alone, and before he knew it, more than half an hour had passed.
"The follow-up troops of the Xihe Army are coming, and I heard that the commander is Chen Xun who has just been mentioned by Zhang Yuan!"
"I'm still too anxious, I shouldn't have trained at this time! Xihe's discipline is iron-blooded, like a machine, but who knows how much time they spent and how much effort they spent groping, I saw it too superficially, so that now they have fallen into a passive situation. What a bad decision! ”
After all, Wuliang Hetai is a veteran marshal who has experienced a hundred battles and knows the war well. After ten days of confrontation, he realized that something was wrong. reacted immediately and shouted to stop the training of the Yuan soldiers.
"Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan must have expected this, so he was not afraid to let me confront him, and watched our army practice with a cold eye, but I was too stunned at the time, and I was confused by the Xihe army, and I almost forgot that the majestic army, and then the iron-blooded discipline, all for victory. Only victory is a good army! ”
Since the training was stopped, Wuliang Hetai let them rest, and at the same time sent more scouts to sweep Zhang Yuan's eyeliner around him, posing as if he was facing a great enemy, so as to confuse Zhang Yuan and release Zhang Yuan to prepare for war.
Although Zhang Yuan guessed whether Wuliang Hetai had woken up, he was more thinking about what Chen Xun was about to come, Zhang Yuan never thought that Chen Xun's march could hide Wuliang Hetai's eyes.
After all. The Yuan army operated here for more than ten years, and it was not only a short occupation of the Xihe army that was able to completely wipe out those hidden spies or pro-Mongol Han Chinese.
"Now our army is in a passive position, if it continues like this. If you don't make any changes, you will inevitably be attacked and defeated by the Xihe Army, which has been preparing for a long time. You have to make a change, otherwise, it's really hard to win! ”
The only thing that makes Wuliang Hetai feel fortunate is that he reacted in a timely manner and was not like a gambler who lost a bet. Continue to press your hole cards on top of the training pawn.
The training of the Yuan army for ten consecutive days was not without any effect, and the soldiers with rich experience in warfare were not without any effect. and generals of all levels who can recruit and fight well, and there is a force outside that can be used as a reference for the Xihe Army, plus some Xihe soldiers have been captured, and some incomplete things are obtained from their mouths by torture or bribery. This made the Yuan army summarize some incomplete training methods.
Although these ten days of training did not have much effect. But Wuliang Hetai believes that as long as it continues, sooner or later it will be able to reach the Xihe Army, or even surpass it.
If you change to an ordinary, or even more ordinary general, you may not be able to end the training ruthlessly.
Wuliang Hetai led the troops and conquered dozens of countries in the Western Regions, and his great military exploits were all made by his own ability. Because of this, when he sees through. He resolutely chose to stop, even if he sacrificed ten precious days of fighting for this, and maybe had to delay a few days to adjust the army back, he did not hesitate to do so.
Wuliang Hetai began to list his strengths and weaknesses, and his brows furrowed even tighter when the two were compared.
I was obsessed with the delusion of improving the strength of the army before, and I didn't put too much thought into other aspects at all, but now that I think about it, I realize that I have gradually fallen into a great disadvantage.
In the end, Wuliang Hetai found that his advantages were really few, and the Xihe Army had recovered its vitality, and there was actually no disadvantage in terms of overall strength, on the contrary, the Yuan Army seemed to be concentrated together, but in fact it was weaker than the Xihe Army in terms of strength.
Once Chen Xun arrived, Zhang Yuan was really blind when he concentrated the scattered Xihe Army.
And there are also many problems in contacting his grandfather Subutai, one is not timely, and it is impossible to echo each other, and a slight delay can cause the Xihe Army to be eliminated one by one.
Therefore, now the Yuan army seems to be attacking from both sides, but it is actually not as good as it seems. If you want to really achieve the effect of a two-sided attack, you need tacit understanding between the two sides, timely intelligence, intelligence on the Xihe Army, and so on, all of which are indispensable, and even the slightest flaw will not work.
Wuliang Hetai thought about it, and finally reluctantly found that his only advantage may be that Zhang Yuan doesn't know that he has reacted now.
A thought came to mind, and Wu Liang Hetai thought about it for a long time, and made a decision in his heart: 'This is the only way to go!' ’
In the next three days, the Yuan army began to send troops to leave, and according to the information obtained by Tanma, it was heading in the direction of Chen Xun. And under the speculation of the staff officers, the conclusion was to intercept Chen Xun's arrival.
Zhang Yuan knew that Chen Xun's arrival would also herald the beginning of the war.
Therefore, when Wuliang Hetai made some moves, he sent cavalry to snipe the Yuan army on the one hand, and on the other hand, he let the Xihe army scattered in various places expand the patrol area, so as to capture the possible Yuan army messengers. At the same time, Zhang Yuan did not forget the issue of sending masters to monitor the camp of the Yuan army.
Because Wuliang Hetai suddenly increased its vigilance, it really scared Zhang Yuan.
Since Wuliang Hetai gave the order, the vigilance of the Yuan army has not been reduced, Zhang Yuan felt uneasy at the same time, but also began to increase the intensity of exploration, until now, the intelligence from the Yuan army camp back shows that the Yuan army has no abnormal reaction, the last time, a Ming Sect master ventured into the Yuan army camp inside, and did not find anything abnormal.
Even if he was fooled once, after Zhang Yuan discussed with several staff officers and generals, he could only blame Wuliang Hetai for secretly sending troops and wanted to cover it up in this way.
Now, the situation has unconsciously favored the Xihe Army, but Zhang Yuan does not have much sense of security, maybe, only after victory, he can completely put his mind at ease. After the monitoring was fruitless, Zhang Yuan sent messengers to Xu Rong and Ba Dinghan to exchange information with each other, and Zhang Yuan also urged Xu Rong to consolidate and prevent the backlash of Subutai.
Zhang Yuan understood that things had developed to this situation, the Xihe Army no longer had to make any risky moves, Wuliang Hetai made a wrong step, what he needed to do was to seize this advantage, fight steadily, and completely defeat the enemy.
Instead of taking risks to do anything, in order to win faster, when the time comes, it will give the advantage to others.
Zhang Yuan never dared to take the dangerous enemy of Wuliang Hetai lightly, and there were undercurrents surging in the armies of both sides, and they both began to make final preparations for the decisive battle. (To be continued......)
