Chapter 811 Mobile Defense Tactics
"Crossing General" Li Zicheng and "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai are indeed not Lang's false names. Although the two of them are not good at winning battles, they can still easily win a losing battle.

Of course, this is not sarcastic rhetoric.

In fact, whether you win or lose a battle, it is all about organization.When Zhang Shun led the rebel army to retreat safely on the battlefield, it was a typical way of fighting in a losing battle.

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, as the leaders of the rebel army, have not many soldiers and horses under their command, and their strength is not strong.They were driven around like rats by the officers and soldiers, and they were able to retreat without being chaotic when defeated, without getting discouraged, and retreating completely, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

Especially when Li Zicheng was defeated by a stone in the later generations, he was able to retreat without collapsing, which was much higher than Hong Chengchou's [-] army in the Songjin War.

Of course, if you lose too many battles and won't win, that's another question.

Although Li Xin didn't know this, but just this time, compared with "Chuang Ying" and "Cao Ying", the "Troubled Times Camp" was somewhat embarrassed when it retreated.

Fortunately, the "Troubled Times Camp" was located in the position of the central army, with "Chuangying" and "Caoying" guarding the left and right wings, so no major losses were suffered.

Faced with two battalions of infantry and two battalions of cavalry, Li Xin had no choice but to order the soldiers who retreated into the city to guard the city while reporting to Zhang Sanbai and Zhang Shun respectively.

Logically speaking, after Zhang Shun left Xuzhou, in order to avoid the inconvenience of command, he specially appointed Zhang Sanbai to take over the command and report everything to Zhang Sanbai.

It's just that the rebel army was created at the beginning, and the matter was in a hurry. Li Xin judged by the time when the cavalry under Fu Zonglong left and returned.He thought that Zhang Shun's army should be not far behind the officers and soldiers, so he made his own claim, presumably Zhang Sanbai would not mind it either!
From Yuzhou to Weishi for [-] miles, if the cavalry marched normally, it would only take two days;

Li Xin sent a messenger to Wei's to look for Zhang Shun, but there was a little delay on the way, and it took a day and a half to find the camp of the rebel army, and sent Li Xin's letter there.

When Li Xin's envoy arrived in Wei's City, Zhang Shun's expression was not very good.

No matter who it is, after going through all kinds of hardships, they drove the prey into the trap, and if there was a mistake in closing the net in the last step, they would not look good.

He led the rebel army to detour behind the officers and soldiers and completed the first step of the mission, but something went wrong when they flanked the officers and soldiers.

Zhu Dadian, governor of Water Transport and governor of Fengyang, insisted on defending Weichuan, and then relied on cavalry support to repel the rebels, leaving Zhang Shun quite helpless for a while.

Dun the soldiers under the strong city, and then break it with cavalry.It seems simple, but it is the right way to use soldiers.

It was also the same method that Tang Taizong Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande in the battle of Hulaoguan.

The method of using soldiers is practical rather than exquisite.Although the actions of the officers and soldiers were mediocre, it made Zhang Shun very uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhang Sanbai, who was stationed in Xiangcheng, also sent a letter to report: Sui Chen's general soldier Luo Ju, Xuzhou's deputy general Ma Yu, and eunuch Lu Jiude's more than [-] people went north from Runing, stationed in Xiping, and As fierce as a tiger, they threatened the flank of the rebel army.

From Xiping to the west, you can threaten the Chai Shihua Department stationed in Ye County; to the north, you can enter Yancheng and Linying, and threaten Jiang and Yulinying stationed in Xuzhou; Zhu Dadian, who was stationed in Changge, and Fu Zonglong, who was stationed in Changge, formed a solid "three-talent formation", flanking Zhang Shun's main force occupying Wei's family.

"According to the current situation, a quick battle is needed; but the officers and soldiers are relying on the city's defense and the cavalry to support them. It seems that we have to go all out!" Zhang Shun murmured to himself after thinking for a long time.

Niu Jinxing and Gao Guiying didn't have a good solution after hearing the words.As the saying goes, "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice", no matter how resourceful you are, there will eventually be times when you will be useless.

Niu Jinxing frowned, but couldn't think of a good solution.He took two steps, and happened to see a messenger coming in, so he put the matter aside for the time being and asked, "What's the matter?"

"A letter from General Li of Yuzhou!" The messenger hurriedly submitted the letter respectfully.

"Oh?" Niu Jinxing quickly took over, and after careful inspection, he opened it and handed it to Zhang Shun, "My lord, the letter from Yuzhou is probably an urgent military situation!"

When Zhang Shun opened it, his face turned darker.

"What's the matter, Daddy?" Gao Guiying asked, knowing that others dared not touch him.

"Li Xin, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai joined forces to attack Fu Zonglong, but they were also attacked by officers and cavalry, and returned without success!" Zhang Shun said with a dark face.

"What's the loss? This... the situation is the same as ours!" Gao Guiying said in surprise.

"The loss is not too big, the key is that this game is hard to break!" Zhang Shun said with a wry smile.

"Why is it difficult to break?" Gao Guiying was a little puzzled.

King Shun has always been victorious in every battle, will he still be afraid of these little thieves?
"During the Song Dynasty, there was a mobile defensive master named Meng Gong. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty was facing the threat of the Mongols going south, but their own armaments were weak, and they were unable to confront the Mongols head-on." Learn some bits and pieces of knowledge.

"Nameng Gong used the advantages of the navy in the Southern Song Dynasty to garrison soldiers in key cities and strongholds, and to support the main force of the navy transport, defeating the Mongols many times. This is called 'mobile defensive warfare', which can take advantage of mobility , to gain the upper hand by fighting more and fighting less.”

"The tactics of the officers and soldiers today are similar to those of Meng Gong. He used Fu Zonglong and Zhu Dadian to occupy the cities and camps as his base, and he used the cavalry of Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen to provide mobile support, so that Li Xin and I could not take care of each other. As a result, the army was in a dilemma. Easily defeated officers and soldiers."

"If our army is powerful, we can take our time to look for opportunities to fight. Then Luo Ju, the chief soldier of Sui Chen, Ma Jian, the deputy chief soldier of Xuzhou, and the eunuch Lu Jiude, who occupy Runing, will also go north. If we can't break it early, our army will be in danger!"

Niu Jinxing was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but sighed: "In this way, Fu Zonglong and Zhu Dadian are quite capable. It's just that how to break it requires everyone to think carefully!"

"What's so difficult about it?" Gao Guiying curled her lips and said, "As long as Daddy is willing, Guiying can break it!"

"Oh, how do you break it?" Zhang Shun asked strangely.

He thought about it himself for a while.The only way is to make an appointment with Li Xin and launch a fierce attack together.

At that time, let Li Xin, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others entangle the two cavalry battalions of Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen together, and then lead the army to conquer Weichuan City within a short time, and finally attack Fu Zonglong's main force together.

It's just such an action, but there is a lot of risk in it. If the city of Weichuan is not conquered, Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen will come with fine cavalry, I am afraid that I will suffer my first big defeat!

How to do?To gamble or not to gamble?
