The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 170 The Eye of Wisdom

On the night when Liang Yi was killed in the wilderness, Xia Jun’s middle camp was raided. A group of Song soldiers disguised themselves as Xia Jun opened the camp door, swaggered into the camp, and set fire to the stables in the middle of the night. , and then took advantage of the chaos to attack the Chinese military tent

Brother Cha's personal guards noticed something strange about this group of soldiers, and stopped them for questioning. The Xia army suddenly took out guns and shot, and the guards were knocked down in an instant, and the Song army rushed in. Fortunately, Cha Ge patrolled the camp that night, and did not escape in the tent, but the soldiers who joined the army and the Marquis of Yu who stayed behind were unlucky, and more than ten people were killed or injured. The file map broke through the siege with explosives, and retreated calmly under the support of the foreign aid Song Army, leaving nothing but a mess

In the next few days, the Song Army frequently attacked Xia Army's patrols and scouts, reducing their inspection range to within ten miles, but Xia Army's camp became their tourist attraction, and they came here from time to time and threw them into the pasture. A few 'firecrackers', put some poison in the pond, and light a fire on the haystack. . .This group of people is not picky about food, and sometimes they shoot a few shots from a distance, but those who fall are often the leaders of Xia's army. Those who are stunned include high-ranking officers such as joining the army and partial generals, and there are also leaders such as gang leaders and captains. Masao

The Xia army was overwhelmed by the disturbance, and they also sent troops on duty to drive them away, but the effect was worrisome. Fewer people went out, and often they never returned. When there were too many people who went, they led these people around in circles, and then singled out those who were alone. Xia Jun also thought about setting up an ambush and releasing bait to catch and kill, but the effect was not very good. He often took the bait but got off the hook

The frequent harassment and increasing shortage of food and grass made Xia Jun's morale drop to the valley for a while, but Brother Cha showed the demeanor of a general, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. He firmly believed that these small actions of Song Jun showed that they were in trouble in Fengzhou. This is just to buy time for the capture of Fengzhou. The king of Yan is already at the end of his rope. The more he struggles, the more secure Fengzhou is.

But the lack of food and grass is a fact. Brother Cha also knows that he and the Song Army are going through a battle now. The Song Army's strength remains relatively intact. The closer it is to Fengzhou, the resistance will become more tenacious, and reinforcements will continue to come. Then He was bound to fall into a protracted battle, so he decided to take advantage of this great opportunity to divide his troops into two groups, one to attack Quye Village and seize the Sichuan Road that marched into Fengzhou; Zhuolun Chuankou, detoured to the back of the Quyechuan defenders, gathered and annihilated the Hezhou army there, consumed the vitality of the Song army, and then joined forces to break the siege of Fengzhou

. . . . . .

On the Loess Plateau, Quye River and Zhuolun River created two deep gullies across the north and south of Hengshan Mountain. These two natural barriers formed a natural barrier. The two rivers meet in Linzhou and merge into the Yellow River. This point of intersection is called For connecting the valleys, these two valleys are not only the rivers for flooding, but also the main roads connecting the north and the south. They have also become two important passages for Xixia to invade the Song Dynasty. The situation of being attacked from the front and back, and the two prefectures of Linfu are also under the direct attack of the Xia army

What Xia Jun could think of, Song Jun could naturally think of. After Zhao Tunbing arrived at Quye River, he strengthened the defense force of each tunnel. Shenmu Village and other first-line fortresses sent two generals from Zelu Road to garrison Qin, two generals from Lanshi Road to reinforce Yincheng, and the third general from Linfu Road to station troops in Dahe Fort.

No one is a god, and he can judge the direction of Xia's attack. Zhao Tong uses these out-of-town garrisons as mobile troops to garrison the main roads in the border area, ready for reinforcements at any time. Facing Chage's frontal attack, only the remaining troops of the Zhongyong Army With the [-] soldiers of the Hezhou Army and the [-] general of the Fuzhou Army, the total strength is about [-], and they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of total strength.

"My lord, Xia's army has divided up. Brother Cha personally led [-] iron kites and [-] infantry to the west. The target seems to be Quye Village; the former army's Jingsai army division [-] soldiers and horses attacked in the direction of Liangu; the rear army The [-] soldiers and horses of the Jianing Army went straight to Qin;

"Whether Brother Cha is Qu Yezhai, don't be vague and use these ambiguous terms." Zhao Tong frowned and said after receiving the notification

"My lord, Xia Jun suddenly dispatched a large number of armored troops to expel our scouts. It is difficult for our army to get close, so...so I dare not determine the target of Brother Cha's march all the way." Jiang Fei looked at the face of the lord and said carefully, did he know the lord? I have always attached great importance to intelligence work, and there is no room for sloppy

"Investigate again, we must find out what Cha Ge's movements are." Zhao Tong said sternly, Cha Ge's [-] iron kites are the main force of the Xia Army's main force, and their function is a strategic reserve team. It would be overkill to use them to attack a city. As an 'expert' who has presided over the reform of military units, he should not make such a low-level mistake, so Zhao Tang suspects that this is a trap set by Brother Cha

"Yes, this subordinate will immediately go to investigate in person." Jiang Fei stood at attention and replied, only after leaving the tent did he dare to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead

"My lord, Xia's army is divided into three groups and marched. Do you want to send troops to reinforce Qin and Liangu?" Wang Jin, who joined the army, asked.

"Wait a minute, I suspect Brother Cha has dug a hole for me and wants me to jump." Zhao Tang said while stroking the stubble that had just grown out

"How does the prince judge?" Wang Jin asked again

"What is Brother Cha lacking the most?" Zhao Tang looked at the generals and asked

"I think it's food and grass. Brother Cha only brought [-] days of food and grass when he sent troops. He wanted to break the siege of Fengzhou in one fell swoop and get food there. It's been a long time since our army dragged him to the front of Quye River. Although he obtained a small amount of supplies through looting, it was far from enough to meet his needs. He had to solve the problem of food first, so I think his attack on Qin and Quye villages was false. If they capture Liangu, it will be enough for them to persist for ten days," Wang Jin said.

"Of course, Brother Cha is not a fool. Now that he is going deep alone, supplies are difficult, and it is impossible to fight now. He did this because he didn't know that Fengzhou was lost, and he still had illusions. He intended to save me by attacking me. Gu forced me to mobilize soldiers to besiege Fengzhou to reduce the pressure on Fengzhou; second, if our army returns to aid, and Liangu's terrain is flat, it is conducive to cavalry operations. The method is to take advantage of the situation and annihilate our reinforcements; the third is that even if our army does not fall into the trap, he can still obtain sufficient supplies through this battle, and enter Fengzhou along the Zhuolun River to break the siege of Fengzhou." Zhao Tong pointed at the map and said

"Brother Cha really deserves to be a famous general of the Xixia Dynasty. He is tricked into this plan, no matter how he calculates, he will not suffer." Gao Chong scratched his scalp and said, "But he met our prince, so he is unlucky, no matter how he calculates, he will not be able to deceive our prince." Wisdom eye" he looked at the prince again and said

"My lord, I think you have already planned, so you can just say, how should we fight?" Xu Biao said loudly

"If you were me, how would you like to fight?" Zhao Tang didn't answer, but asked rhetorically

"Ah?" Xu Biao didn't expect the lord to ask him advice. He opened his mouth wide in astonishment and looked at the lord, complaining in his heart. Why couldn't he control his mouth? Must answer, Xu Biao quickly calmed down, sorted out his thoughts and said: "The prince once taught us that in every battle, we must concentrate our absolutely superior forces, twice, three times, four times, sometimes even five times or six times the enemy's strength. Forces, surround the enemy on all sides, strive to wipe them out completely, and prevent them from slipping through the net. In special cases, use the method of annihilating the enemy, that is, concentrate all your strength on the enemy's front and one or both wings, in order to annihilate part of it and defeat the rest. The purpose of the other part is to enable our army to quickly transfer our forces to wipe out other enemy forces, and to avoid fighting a war of attrition that is not worth the loss, or that is not worth the loss. In this way, as a whole, we are inferior (in terms of numbers), but in terms of In every part, in every specific battle, we have an absolute advantage, which guarantees the victory of the battle. As time goes on, we will turn into an advantage in the whole until we annihilate all enemies."

Zhao Tong laughed after hearing this. This is the '** military principle' that he taught them in class, and now he is the first to create it. He asked, "Then how do you plan to concentrate superior forces?"

"Reporting, my lord, we are now at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. Although our loyal and brave army is small in number, it has advanced weapons and strong combat effectiveness. It is not a problem to encircle and wipe out part of the enemy's army. I think this battle should 'take the annihilation of the enemy's vital forces as the main goal, not conservative Or seize the place as the main goal', give up Liangu, retreat to Zhuolunzhai, concentrate all our forces, annihilate the enemy's Baotai Army Division troops staying in the camp, and defeat the Jianing Army Division troops attacking Qin," said Xu Biao

"Xu is in trouble, don't talk nonsense, it took us a lot of effort to capture Hezhou, how can we give in again and again, and give so much grain and grass to Xia Jun for nothing?" Xu Biao's voice had just finished, and he was also the commander. Jiang Wei said dissatisfiedly

"Did I say before that don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place? I don't believe that he can stay indifferent after stealing Brother Cha's lair, and when he arrives in Fengzhou, he will find that the place has long been ours. How dare he go alone? Go deep, I'm afraid I'll run back as soon as I can, and the lost place will still be ours in the end. As for the food and grass that can't be taken away with the grain, it can be burned. Time" Xu Biao did not show any weakness at this time, and shouted to Jiang Wei with his neck straightened.

"Hmph, you are obviously timid to fight. Since we want to fight, let's just fight Brother Cha's main force. After one battle, the remaining small fish and shrimps are still easy to catch." Jiang Wei thought that what Xu Biao said made sense, but He won't lose the battle, curled his lips and said

"Why is it a cowardly battle? We first annihilated the weak enemy of the Xia army. First, we can make the main force lose its cover. Without the support of the neighboring troops, his two wings will inevitably be exposed, creating opportunities for us; second, if we attack the strong first Not only is a strong enemy hard to deal with quickly, but a weak enemy will also become a strong enemy, which will put us in a passive position..." Xu Biao said again (to be continued)
