Chapter 418: Quick Battle
The scene was silent, and no one said a word.
The situation that suddenly appeared on the side of the imperial court, Tianyumen and Feng Lingbo knew in advance, and they had discussed it in advance, and this time it was actually said to the Shang Dynasty Sect that the three county guards of Mei Linsheng had already led their own troops.
Feng Lingbo felt that there was no need to tell it, it was Peng who insisted, and Peng wanted to hear the opinion of Shang Chaozong, more precisely, he hoped to hear Meng Shanming's opinion.
Not to mention other things, when it comes to fighting, Peng Youzai knows Meng Shanming's ability, this person's achievements back then don't need to be mentioned, in short, whether it is a small battle or a big battle, especially the command experience of this large-scale man-horse battle, only Meng Shanming has it among the people present. Let Feng Lingbo command, even Peng has no bottom in his heart.
However, this made Feng Lingbo feel a little uncomfortable, after all, he was the commander-in-chief of this battle. Besides, people are not stupid, they are all like this, and they still listen to other people's opinions, are they not afraid of being cheated by others?
However, whether it was Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting or Meng Shanming, no one said anything.
The atmosphere at the scene was slightly awkward, and in the end, Peng said with a smile again: "Meng Shuai, you are a generation of famous generals, do you have any advice?"
Meng Shanming: "It's too famous, if it is really praised by the head of Peng, how can he be beaten into a cripple and sit in a wheelchair." ”
Peng Zai: "The reason why Meng Shuai fell into disability, everyone knows, it does not affect Meng Shuai's wisdom. When it comes to fighting, these are all your juniors, and your opinions and experience are very valuable to them! If you lose this battle, it will not be good for everyone, don't you say?"
Meng Shanming replied calmly: "Regardless of whether the imperial court is reinforced or not, just ask, to fight or not?"
Peng said with a solemn expression: "The matter has come to this point, and the arrow has to be sent." ”
He has no way to retreat, he has already asked the three major factions to relax, if he retreats at this time, regardless of whether the people of the court will take advantage of the situation to attack, the three major factions will also be tired of Tianyumen, what about playing with us?
Meng Shanming: "In that case, then let's fight!" squinted at Feng Lingbo, which seemed to mean that Feng Lingbo would command the fight.
Peng asked him again in a simple way, "How does Meng Shuai think he should fight?"
Meng Shanming asked Feng Lingbo: "How is the governor going to fight?"
Feng Lingbo secretly took a deep breath, showing his command and combat ability in front of this person, he himself was a little unconfident, but he still turned around, let his two sons retreat, stood in front of the hanging map, and pointed and said: "Judging from the information I have learned, Zhou Shouxian has already arranged men and horses in the area of Beiling Mountain, and if he wants to block our army here, our army should send a feint attack to attract the main force of the enemy, and then send two groups of men and horses to attack from the left and right flanks of Beiling Mountain..."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Shanming was impatient to listen, waved his hand and said, "Is the governor preparing to fight Zhou Shouxian in the area of Beiling Mountain?"
Feng Lingbo bowed his head: "Yes, to attract the main force of the enemy, just in Beiling Mountain and Zhou Shouxian to fight, the advantage of distance is destined to be our side to wait for work, and the main force of the enemy is rushing to help, it is already a tired division, it can be defeated in one fell swoop..."
Meng Shanming interrupted again: "What if the main force of the enemy army does not come to help?"
Feng Lingbo: "Then we will take the opportunity to annihilate the men and horses of Beiling Mountain, and then the army will take advantage of the situation to kill Beiling Mountain, with its back to Beiling Mountain, and it can be attacked and defended." If Zhou Shouxian does not come to help, it is equivalent to giving us the important land of Beiling Mountain. ”
Meng Shanming: "Then when will the governor end this battle?"
Feng Lingbo: "How can we determine the end time now? As long as the first battle is won and our morale is greatly increased, it is the time to take advantage of the situation to use troops, and we can use troops randomly according to changes in the battle situation." Meng Shuai has been on the battlefield for a long time, maybe he is sure when this battle will end?"
Peng was waiting for others to look at Meng Shanming when he heard the words.
Meng Shanming: "If I were Zhou Shouxian, if you beat yours, I would beat mine." The governor did not dare to burn the flames of war to the neighboring states, otherwise he would set up enemies on many sides, and the neighboring states, except for Jinzhou, were all the territory of the Yan State. Based on this alone, the neighboring state is the place where I turn around, and I can retreat into the neighboring state, and attack at will on the border between the north and south of Nanzhou. I don't have to fight you hard, you have limited combat resources, just a Nanzhou can't keep up with the huge Yan Kingdom, and you can't afford to spend it, so you will be defeated without a fight, do I need to take a hard risk with you?
As soon as these words came out, Peng felt a chill in his back again, if Zhou Shouxian played like this, he really couldn't afford to play, just tossing like this can also toss the strength of the five counties here, and when the time comes, he will still play a fart in Tianyumen, and all good dreams will come to naught.
He hurriedly interjected and asked, "This is Meng Shuai's tactics, Zhou Shouxian is naturally inferior to Meng Shuai, presumably Zhou Shouxian may not fight like this, right?"
Meng Shan said: "Zhou Shouxian is in the court, even his daughter can be presented to the emperor, does Master Peng think Zhou Shouxian is the kind of person who fights hard? It is unlikely that he will concentrate his forces and fight to the death here, once the battle situation in Beiling Mountain is not right, it is very likely that he will run away immediately, and he will definitely retreat wherever it is safe, and it is naturally the safest in the neighboring states." As soon as he retreated to the neighboring states, he could neither admit defeat, otherwise he would not be able to give an account to the imperial court, nor would he be able to refrain from fighting, and he would not be able to fight this battle if he wanted to. ”
Feng Lingbo was suddenly embarrassed, his carefully planned strategy seemed to have become a waste, and he wanted to speak several times, but he didn't seem to be able to find a reason to refute it, the key is that Meng Shanming's words are not unreasonable, and this possibility is really big.
The top officials of the Heavenly Jade Gate frowned, and their eyes glanced at Feng Lingbo, quite doubting that this guy could do it.
There was a slight hint of sarcasm at the corner of Shang Chaozong's mouth, and Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting looked at Meng Shanming with joy in their eyes, and found that Meng Shuai was really still the world-famous Meng Shuai, and the sword was not old!
Peng glanced at Feng Lingbo coldly, his face was already gloomy, and he scolded wildly in his heart, almost ruining my big thing, thanks to his own face, he asked Meng Shanming.
He changed his face again, smiled, and humbly asked: "Meng Shuai, then in your opinion, how to fight this battle is the most appropriate?"
Meng Shanming's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at the map and said, "Quickly and quickly!"
Feng Lingbo immediately had something to say: "Why don't I want to fight quickly, but once the battle situation can't be resolved quickly, how can I make a quick decision?"
Meng Shanming: "As the supreme commander of the First Army, we should understand why we are fighting and what is the purpose of fighting this battle, so that we can formulate a clear combat strategy! We are not fighting for the sake of fighting Zhou Shouxian, we are fighting for the purpose of occupying Nanzhou. ”
"Don't be slowly entangled with Zhou Shouxian, this battle doesn't need to be pulled and pulled, directly concentrate the superior forces to chase Zhou Shouxian, no matter what interference there is around, we have only one goal, that is, to chase Zhou Shouxian at any cost. ”
"Zhou Shouxian, who fought and lost consecutive battles, only had to flee for his life, in short, he wanted to chase him. As long as this result can be achieved, the morale of the men and horses who galloped to Zhou Shouxian's aid will inevitably collapse. If Zhou Shouxian escaped from Nanzhou, he immediately returned to intercept Zhou Shouxian's reinforcements in Nanzhou, and attacked back and forth with our pursuers. ”
Under Meng Shanming's wave of his hand, Luo An pushed Meng Shanming to the front of the map, Meng Shanming took the bamboo pole in Feng Lingbo's hand, and pointed out the position of the enemy and our troops on the map: "So in this battle, there is no need to arrange troops, we don't need to make full preparations, and we don't give the enemy a chance to make full preparations. First blasted a hole in the enemy's front with heavy troops, the army rushed in, not for the purpose of attacking the city, throwing down all the baggage, just rushing at Zhou Shouxian, who was hiding behind......"
On the same day, the entire Tianyumen was rapidly transferred, and the entire operational command center began to pounce forward.
Although the commander-in-chief of this battle is still Feng Lingbo, in fact, Feng Lingbo has become a person who conveys and issues military orders, and the real commander of the battle has become Meng Shanming, and the military orders issued one after another are all in accordance with Meng Shanming's dispatch instructions......
And so a dramatic battle began.
Under the command of Meng Shanming, he gathered heavy troops to raid the enemy's weak point, blasting a hole in the enemy's defense line, and the elite men and horses rushed directly to Zhou Shouxian's headquarters regardless of it. The follow-up men and horses also threw down their baggage regardless of it, and went into battle lightly to catch up.
The men and horses on the defense line of the six counties were a little confused, and such a large-scale enemy army did not even bring baggage, and did not even want follow-up supplies, so how could hundreds of thousands of horses eat and drink? Is this a war or a search for death? Is there such a war?
It was too obvious that the attack of the lower five counties was too obvious, and Zhou Shouxian quickly realized that he was coming at him, and quickly mobilized men and horses to encircle and intercept the attacking enemy.
There is no need for the men and horses of the upper six counties to hold the defense line, and there are almost no enemy troops in the five lower counties of Nanzhou, and the enemy army has run behind them regardless of life or death, and they are still holding a fart. The defending army immediately turned around and turned defense into pursuit.
This chase found a problem, the enemy army was light and fast, and this side could not catch up with the baggage at all, so he could only throw down the baggage to chase after him.
And the elite rushing men and horses led by Yingyang Wu Liewei in the lower five counties did not fight with the blocking men and horses that appeared in front of them at all, nor did they attack the city, they all detoured, one person with two horses, and the main direction remained the same after bypassing, and it was still a direct attack on Zhou Shouxian's headquarters.
As a result, the men and horses of the upper six counties who were blocking along the way also had to throw down their baggage and rush back to help Zhou Shouxian.
Subsequently, most of the men and horses of the five counties who came lightly looted the baggage supplies thrown by the future defenders on the spot, and did not carry the supplies later, and burned all the baggage left by the enemy on the spot.
The pursuers of the Upper Six Counties, who were originally holding the defensive line, were dumbfounded, and the enemy army could continue to hold on to their advance with supplies, and there was only a piece of burned ashes in front of them.
