Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 381
The night wind whimpered, the war horses neighed, and a blood-red color in the sky was pressed against the horizon by the dark sky. It was Twilight's dying struggle. The sky was full of unwillingness. With the afterglow of fiery red, a large number of soldiers and horses of the Qin army were crossing the hills of the Southern Han army in an orderly manner. The line of defense, the armor was dyed dark red, with a layer of streamer.

When the sky was dark, the Qin army had already begun to cross the defense line carefully prepared by the Southern Han army on a large scale. Pan Mei stepped on the solid stone wall piled up by the enemy army and looked east. The Chenzhou Plain in the distance was in sight, only a little Irregular undulating hills, endless.

"I didn't expect them to be so ruthless." Pan Mei sighed, "The Shu army is also better at fighting than this."

After a while, the messenger came back and reported, "Dushi, Yin Qianfeng has gone after the Southern Han army."

Pan Mei nodded: "However, the Zhao Du envoy will lead two battalions to meet the reinforcements."

"No!" The soldiers took the order, turned around and left.

"The further south you go, the easier it is to fight." The secretary and civil officer accompanying him said with emotion. : "The Liao Kingdom is a difficult opponent to deal with. Although Jiangnan was defeated, their navy once had the upper hand, which made us suffer a lot. Liu Renshan, Lin Renzhao, Zhu Yuan, etc. are not ordinary people.

As a result, when they arrived in the Kingdom of Shu, they marched rapidly. Except for a few people, they hardly encountered too many obstacles, and all the 10,000+ Shu troops surrendered.

Now that he is commanding Nanyue, he never expected it to go so smoothly, even easier than Fashu. "

Pan Mei glanced at him: "Don't be careless. The most taboo in military affairs is pride and underestimation of the enemy. We can't repeat the mistakes of Jiangnan."

What Pan Mei was talking about was that when the Huainan was conquered, Zhou's army marched rapidly at first and won consecutive battles. As a result, they did not gain a firm foothold and attacked everywhere in a hurry. As a result, when Nantang launched a counterattack, they were caught off guard and caused a lot of losses.

Later, if today's son Shi Congyun hadn't taken command and turned the tide of the battle again, it would be hard to say what the final situation would be.

Pan Mei did not dare to underestimate the enemy, the more the officials trusted him, the more he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and he dared not make the slightest mistake.

"Scouts must be sent out every quarter of an hour. When the army advances, we must find out the situation within [-] miles around and report back at all times." Pan Mei said solemnly: "If there is a battle ahead, the support must be fast, and whoever delays for half an hour Military law!"

The personal soldier looked serious, and even conveyed the order down.

"Guiyang is only a hundred miles away from Chenzhou, and soldiers can come to the city tomorrow, but the officials only let us fight Chenzhou, a lesson for the Southern Han Dynasty, and we can't go south deeply."

"If it weren't for the official order, we could have fought to Panyu (Guangzhou)!" The soldiers next to him booed.

"I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue when I talk big." Pan Mei said without any intention of reprimanding her.

Then he said to them, "You don't understand, in fact, I also want to continue to fight south, but the officials have their own deep meaning, this year there was a big war in the north, and the imperial court can't go to war anymore.

This shows that Mingrui, the official master, has not been dazzled by the big victory, and is still thoughtful and meticulous in thinking about things.

But after a small victory, they wanted to fight Panyu. The officials defeated Li Yun in the north, destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, and defeated the Liao army. Wouldn't they want to go to Shangjing to capture the king of Liao alive? "

"Hey, we don't understand those big principles, it's just talking about it, and officials are naturally the smartest people in the world." The soldiers laughed.

Pan Mei ignored them, but looked to the east: "Tell all the soldiers to rest early tonight, and the Chinese army must arrive at the city of Chenzhou tomorrow morning."

Chenzhou is located in the intersecting zone of Nanling Mountains and Luoxiao Mountains, where the Yangtze River system and the Pearl River system diverge.It borders Ganzhou in the east, Shaozhou in the south, Yongzhou in the west, and Hengzhou in the north. It is known as the "South Gate" of Jingnan.

After Zhou Xingfeng was wiped out by Shi Congyun in those years, Chenzhou was closely connected with the great northern countries, intertwined with each other, and became the forefront of connecting with the northern great countries.

The city defense here has been strengthened, but the rout soldiers who fled back one after another last night have now caused panic throughout the city, and no one dares to go out easily.

Governor Lu Guangtu urgently organized troops to set up defenses at the mountain pass in the west of the city to meet the defeated army, because the city wall of Chenzhou was not high enough to guard.

In this battle, there were no complicated roundabout operations, no strategic deployment, and it was completely different from fighting Shu and Northern Han and Liao. The scale was different and the enemies were different.

Strategically, Pan Mei didn't have much room for manipulation. The emperor issued an edict that they were only allowed to fight Chenzhou. Where the big goal was, there was no room for manipulation at all.

But Pan Mei is also a veteran on the battlefield. She has made meticulous arrangements for the details, marching deployment, logistics supplies, and the distribution of soldiers. With the tactical literacy of the Qin army, it has formed a purely tactical crush.

Strategic operations must first be established on the premise that the tactics can be countered, or at least be able to delay the enemy, so that there is room for overall operations and the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

However, since the Qin army suddenly dispatched troops, the elite soldiers led by the forward Yin Chongke, with lightning speed, quickly pierced through several Southern Han army defense lines like a dragon, and hit the city of Chenzhou day and night. In the face of such a situation, Even if the gods come, it will be difficult to save them.

This was not a strategic mistake, but it was impossible to fight at all, and was defeated by the Qin army all the way to Chenzhou City.

"Be quicker, if you really can't throw it on the side of the road, let the brothers behind clean it up." Yin Chongke wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, stuffed grain cakes into his mouth indiscriminately, took a few sips of water from the ditch by the roadside, and swallowed go down.

"Brothers, you can only rest for two minutes, and leave immediately when it's over." Yin Chongke got up and said loudly. They didn't stop all night, piercing through several Southern Han army defense lines one after another. They only rested for two hours at dawn. Now the city of Chenzhou in the distance is far away.

Yin Chongke pointed to the distorted low city pool steaming in the water vapor on the plain behind the mountain pass in the distance to the soldiers who surrounded him, and said, "Did you see that? That's Chenzhou City. If you fight there, I'll be the first to do it.

In my opinion, when we came here overnight, the bandits would have been terrified. Only the mountain pass in front of us was still blocked. As long as we killed them, the military exploits would be at our fingertips! "

The eyes of the soldiers also became hot. In the past few days, when the Great Qin expanded its borders, many people relied on their military exploits to get promoted and make a fortune. This kind of thing is not an isolated case. It is spread everywhere, and the soldiers are also heart fiery.

"General, let's not wait any longer, just kill him and get a head start!"

"Yes, you can't wait for the head work!"

"The early bird eats the worm, the late dog eats shit, General, let's go!"

"."

Everyone's eyes lighted up, and everyone became excited.

"What's the hurry? You are not afraid of being tired, but the horse is still afraid. Wait until the horse is full of grass and has a rest, otherwise it will kill your dogs!" Yin Chongke scolded: "Besides, Chenzhou City will not Run away, brainless, not smart at all."

The soldiers have always spoken rough, and everyone was not angry, just scratched their heads, and then laughed.

"The general is right, his brain kicked the horse!"

"Don't worry, I can kill you no matter what today, when the time comes, I will take the head of the governor of Chenzhou and go back to report victory to Pan Du, and the officials in Daliang will know our achievements!"
