Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 822
"After Ah Huang returned to Wu'an Prefecture, he now personally sits at Nanguan Township, Men County. Mrs. Anong immediately summoned Yong from Qingzhuang Dong Ding Township of Jinjidong Nong's family to assist in the defense. Yang Jiyuan of Lang Son also led his son Xiang Yongbei Moved to Tongdeng, Bing Cao Qian Dexing led more than a thousand children from Wu'an Prefecture to cross Zhennan Pass and enter Shixi (Pingxiang) to strengthen the defense."

"General Qin Yong led [-] troops to Gaoping, and joined forces with [-] troops."

"General Qin Yong led [-] troops to station in Siming, and joined forces with [-] troops."

On the south bank of Zuoxi River, in Wuqin City of Cage Prefecture, the military intelligence department joined the army to report to Qin Lang. On the big map on the screen, Wu'an Prefecture not only firmly guarded the southern gate of the northern gateway town, but also was paid by the government of the country of Xun. Cao Qian Dexing, a soldier from Wu'an Prefecture, the son of Jiulong, left the town of Nanguan and took over Shixi City, an important town in the north.

And the two generals Qin Yong and Qin Yong, each leading three men, went out of Zhennan Pass, one on the left and one on the right, going north, one stationed in Gaoping Fort and the other in Siming City, just like a pair of spread wings.

Wu'an Prefecture is like an eagle spreading its wings, Zhennanguan is the head, Shixi is the beak, and Gao Ping and Siming spread out a pair of sharp claws under the wings.

"Currently, although Longzhou, Jinlongzhou, and Silangzhou along the Pingerjiang River, Shuikou River, and Heishuihe River are still under the control of Judingman, we are already invincible."

Joining the army from the staff office also came forward to report.

"We plan to launch a counterattack against the Juding barbarians. The first step is to send troops to recover the two cities of Luolong and Wuli. These two cities are still trapped in Judingliao on the south bank of the Zuoxi River. Use the navy to cut off the Zuoxi River, and then Cagezhou and Siming attacked from both sides, encircling and annihilating about [-] Juding barbarians currently on the south bank!"

"General Qin Yong from Gaoping and Bingcao Qian Dexing from Shixi are in charge of containing the main forces that interfere with the barbarians in the Tanzhou area after the start of the battle."

Holding a cup of tea in his hand, Qin Lang listened to the reports and analyzes of his camp staff.

In the Zuoxi area, there were about 5 men and horses who invaded Judingman, but these 5 people were not all crowded under the city of Tanzhou. In fact, these [-] people were actually scattered on the front lines hundreds of thousands of miles .They came from the northwest. Since the conquered Tang army conquered Ande Prefecture newly established by the Liaozi Department last time, they have traveled all the way eastward. It is six hundred miles from Ande Prefecture to Tanzhou.

The Judingman on the South Road broke through seven or eight Jiman states in the Tang Dynasty along the way, and captured hundreds of Xidong villages. However, in a short period of time, from Andezhou to Tanzhou, there are still a large number of Xidongman that have not been broken. , They either surrender temporarily, or still resist in the corner.

This caused Judingman to move eastward all the way, and he had to keep dividing his troops to stay in the captured stockades, and sent troops to monitor those stockades that were still unwilling to surrender. They still had 5 people in Ande Prefecture, but starting from Ande Prefecture, they divided their troops all the way. 5 people spread the pie like a horse, and the more it spreads, the thinner it gets.

Compared with the Juding Army of the North Route, the South Route Army encountered an unexpectedly tough opponent, that is, the Qin Family of Wu'an Prefecture.

The strength of the Qin family was far beyond their expectations, especially under their initial surprise attack, Beilu was caught off guard and leaderless, and they were defeated one after another.But the South Route Army quickly suffocated in Gaoping.

Although Gaoping Fort is not big, it is like an iron wall that allows them to advance an inch. This bone caused them to break a lot of troops, lose a lot of morale, and waste a lot of precious time. In the end, they had to bypass it, but Scorers monitor the defense nearby.

Later, the South Route Army divided its troops to attack the south several times, but there was no progress. The Qin family not only defended Wu'an Prefecture like an iron barrel, but also defended an enclave of Gaoping Fort, and quickly sent troops out of Zhennan Pass to help defend outside the pass. some key points.

This made the Pingerjiang line, the South Route Army fought several defeats, although they were all minor defeats, but the original strategic plan also fell through.

Originally, the South Route Army planned to divide its troops into two groups, one all the way down the river and the other down the Heishui River, and finally joined forces in Tanzhou, and then rushed to Yongzhou to join forces with the North Route Army in victory.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the right army of the South Route Army went smoothly, but the left army was defeated in Pingerjianglian, and finally won several states, but it was not safe at all behind, and had to send more soldiers Stay on defense.

This also made Tanzhou City, after the South Route Army joined forces, the number of troops was much smaller than expected, and the Zuoxi barbarian king Fusang of Tanzhou was also very resolute in counterattacking.

So the chiefs of the Sharen tribe, commander of Judingman, sent troops to fight on the south bank of Zuoxi River, harassing prefectures and counties, seizing money and food, and supporting the war with war.

The Juding South Route Army's stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the 5 people in the battle of thousands of miles are also getting thinner and thinner. As a result, this embarrassing situation has formed. Tanzhou has been surrounded for a long time, the attack is weak, and the way is blocked after giving up. Partial division is even weaker in offense.

The cage state was also defended by Qin Lang first, so there was no chance to take advantage of it.The side division that crossed the river fell into a dilemma for a while, but instead fell into the counterattack and siege of the Zuoxi barbarians.

Pointing at the map, Qin Lang smiled and said to the crowd, "With Judingman's poor strength, he boasted of sending [-] troops, but in fact this is the way to kill. They don't have the logistical supply ability at all. After all, the Nong family is a Women, if a decent savage were to become king, he would never dare to come here in such a way, this method of fighting is completely a woman's way of spoiling, how can it be war?"

In the final analysis, war is the overall planning of all aspects, and it is a matter of mathematics.

In the end, it is the national strength that is fought.

Juding sent troops back to the country under the banner of revenge and survival, so even if he wanted to fight, it was not this way of fighting. If she wanted to make the momentum bigger, then Nong Sanniang should also enter and exit quickly, and 10 horsemen will dispatch Two roads, the Tang people were caught off guard, and after finding a bargain, they had to retreat quickly.

In this way, they can not only regain the lost land captured by Li Daliang last time, but also enter the country to snatch it, and maybe they can also win over some left and right Ximan kings.

But in the current situation, there is no overall view at all, blindly attacking, and the result is weak follow-up. In the final analysis, the strength of Juding's various departments cannot support them to go so deep.

"Using soldiers is like punching. You can't use old punches. If you swing a punch completely without sparing any strength, you will have no power, and you will be full of flaws, and the empty door will be wide open."

"I agree with the battle plan of the General Staff Office. The Jiaozhou army has already started to fight back. It won't be long before the Juding barbarians will retreat completely. Let's eat up the tens of thousands of barbarians on the south bank of Zuoxi River first, and push the front line to the vicinity of Tanzhou , and hurry up when the time comes.”

General Qin Lang's strategy was to wait for Juding to retreat in a hurry, and beat the dog in the water, but eating up the tens of thousands of people on the south bank would not affect the grand strategic plan, and would even be beneficial to the overall strategy.

The Tang army had the sharp weapon of the navy in their hands, and separated the Zuoxi River. Although the more than [-] troops on the south bank still occupied two cities, they were just waiting to catch the turtle in the urn.

"Luo Long, although there are tens of thousands of Juding barbarians in the second city of Wuli, their strength is mediocre, and they are supportive divisions. However, I am afraid that they will resist stubbornly and defend the city. If they attack by force, they may increase the number of casualties. The staff thinks, You can first block the river with the navy to block their retreat, and then send troops to surround the second city without attacking."

This is a way to reduce casualties. Although the barbarian villages in Zuoxi River are not as tall as the cities in the Central Plains, they are all located in dangerous places, and it is not easy to attack with force.

Meals are eaten in one bite, and battles are fought one by one.

"Let us fight Luo Long and Wu Li's barbarians. Qin uses them for other tasks." Qin Lang tapped Longzhou on the upper reaches of Tanzhou (Chongzuo) with his fingers, "Longzhou controls Shuikou River peacefully. The place where the rivers converge is also the place where one of the two roads from the lower Judingman of Tanzhou City must pass. There are still tens of thousands of Judingman scattered around the Shuikou River and Pinger River in the upper reaches of Longzhou. We must find a way to take Longzhou down first."

Qin Lang's strategic intention was obvious. On the eve of Juding Man's imminent retreat, he would first block one of their retreat routes and at the same time cut off their connection with Ten Thousand Ju Man.

The navy blocked Zuoxi, and then Qin Lang of Cage Province surrounded and wiped out more than ten thousand barbarians on the south bank.

Qin Yong, Qian Dexing and the others jointly sent troops to capture Longzhou, and then Gaoping's Qin Yong and others could lead troops upstream to disperse the remaining [-] barbarians.

After these two cuts, the Juding South Route Army almost lost two arms, and the main force of Tanzhou could only retreat along the Heishui River.

The military members of the combat department were a little worried, "As far as we know, there are 5000 guards in Longzhou City. Once we attack, they may get reinforcements from nearby. At least [-] people can gather to defend the city. Longzhou Village It is more dangerous, close to the mountain and facing the river, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and difficult to fight."

"Being close to the mountain and facing the river is just convenient for us. We can send a navy to reinforce it. The Juding in Tanzhou can't be stopped. In addition, we can also use wooden rafts and bamboo rafts in the upper reaches of Shixi. By transporting soldiers and supplies, we can send tens of thousands of horses from Zhennanguan, Shixi, Siming and other places to Longzhou in a short period of time, and we can also gather at least [-] to [-] Xidong barbarians to fight together."

Qin Lang knocked on the map, and said confidently, "Judingman's real elite force is in Tanzhou, and the second one is also in Cagezhou on the south bank. Longzhou is behind them, and most of the people left behind are old and weak. , nothing to worry about."

The soldiers Qin Lang mobilized, although there are Wu'an Prefecture bravery and Dongding native soldiers, there are also navy marines and Qin family's vassal knights. The strength of these soldiers and horses far exceeds that of the local soldiers. .

This time it's a big fight.

Qin Lang had already ordered Wu'an Prefecture to fully mobilize.

Whether it was the villages in Xidong, the barbarians, or the villages of immigrants, almost all the militiamen of the village were recruited, and all the vassals, knights and their retinues were also recruited urgently.

For this battle, many mining workshops even had to reduce production or even stop work, but this is no way.If this battle is not fought well, Wu'an Prefecture will not be safe. Once Judingman is allowed to gain a foothold in Zuoxi, or even invade Wu'an Prefecture, it will be a catastrophe.

"Wu'an Prefecture immediately raised the level of combat readiness to first-level combat readiness. All vassal knights, samurai, feudal guards, and united soldiers in the formation must be recruited to the front line. All the reserves of the Loyalty Bow and Arrow Club, the Loyalty Broadsword Club, and the Loyalty Red Spear Club Prepare food and clothing, and be on standby at any time!"
