Horse on the World

Chapter 910
The Dingzhou army defeated Chenghua's enemies, especially the annihilation of a thousand Luoyang troops. Jianying broke into Tacheng on the other side. It was the place where Dingzhou Army Ling Han's troops collided head-on with armored heavy cavalry in Tacheng and suffered a tragic defeat in the unknown battle.However, times have changed, and now things have changed. Thousands of iron armored soldiers were wiped out in Chenghua. The Luoyang army stationed in these two counties was shocked and shrunk in an all-round way to avoid the sharp edge of the Dingzhou army. Almost all places were abandoned. , Concentrate troops to guard the county seat.As long as the county seat is not lost, it can be said that it still holds the control of these two counties.

Of course, this is only in name only. Most of the Pingluta City fell into the hands of the Dingzhou Army. Li Feng and Jiang Heiniu controlled the traffic arteries, occupied the strategic points of the two counties, and completed the siege of the county. Make the two counties an isolated city.If Zhou Tong does not respond in time, Pinglu and Tacheng will fall into the hands of Dingzhou Army sooner or later.

This is also the first major victory that Guo Shanfeng's troops have achieved after falling behind in Qingzhou and suffering consecutive defeats.Not only regained the actual control of the two county governments that were lost at the beginning, but also wiped out nearly ten thousand enemies. The most perfect thing is that Li Feng found a way to deal with Luoyang's armored cavalry.

Compared with regaining the two lands, Guo Shanfeng paid more attention to finding the weakness of the armored heavy cavalry. If he encounters the armored heavy cavalry in the future, this unit with obvious advantages and disadvantages will not be feared.

Guo Shanfeng looked extremely happy, waved the victory report in his hand, and said to Guan Xinglong: "Old Guan, Jiang Heiniu, and Li Feng are worthy of our Dingzhou Veteran General, fierce general, this battle has brought out the prestige of our Dingzhou Army, Now that the defenders of Pinglu Tower City are huddled within the county seat, they dare not attack our soldiers directly, hahaha, even if they are huddled in the turtle shell, how long can they defend? The summer grain has not been confiscated, it has just passed In the spring famine, how much food can be stored in the county, and it won’t be long before they run out of food. At that time, they will either go out of the city to fight and be wiped out by our army, or they will be trapped in the city and starve to death. Pinglu, Tacheng is finally back in my hands! "

Guan Xinglong was also very happy that Li and Jiang could achieve a great victory. This was extremely beneficial for boosting morale. Now that Xing Qinqing is in a confrontation all the way, maybe this is an opportunity to break the balance between the two sides.

"General Guo, what are you going to do next?" Guan Xinglong asked.

"Does this still need to be said?" Guo Shanfeng said: "Taking advantage of this great victory, I will increase my troops to Qingzhou, launch a large-scale attack in Qingzhou, and seize the control of Qingzhou."

Looking down at the huge sand table in the tent, Guoshan Mansion pointed to the three tunnels and said, "Although we lost the opportunity in Qingzhou, Chenghua, Pinglu, and Tacheng are the battlegrounds for military strategists. In the three places, we can advance and retreat freely in Qingzhou, which is why I was so annoyed when Ling Han lost Tacheng, now that the three places are back in my hands, if we don’t attack now, when will we wait?”

Guan Xinglong pondered and said: "But General Guo, the current strategic focus of the lord is obviously not with us, but is more inclined to Bozhou, Minzhou and other places. Although the letter sent by the lord did not clearly express the meaning, but it is to let We exercise restraint and maintain the current front line. If we launch an offensive rashly, I am afraid that the master's overall strategy will be affected!"

Guo Shanfeng laughed, "Don't worry, if the lord really wants us to stay on the defensive, then he will make it clear. I figured out what the lord means, because Zhou Tong has received strong support from Luoyang at present. We can't open up the situation, and once we start a war, we won't be able to take advantage of it, and it will inevitably waste money and food, so the words are vague. But this time is also the other time, don't you think now is a good time?"

"The timing is good, but I always feel a little uneasy." Guan Xinglong frowned, "This feeling is very strange, but when I think about it carefully, I can't find a reason to let it go. It's really strange!"

Guo Shanfeng laughed, "Old Guan, you are the one who is praised by the lord, and I am the only general of Guan, what's the matter, the more officials you become, the more courageous you become. Back then, under the city of Dingyuan, you fought with one arm. Dao, where does the heroic spirit of climbing over the fortified city go?"

Guan Xinglong smiled and said: "Don't mention the courage of the hero, the general, you are right. The more you become an official, the smaller you are, but the courage is getting smaller and smaller. At first, there were only 5000 people under your command, but now It's different, there are more and more sons under my command, and the burden on them is getting heavier and heavier, I'm afraid that if I make a mistake, my reputation will be ruined, and I will miss the master's important matter, that is an unforgivable crime!"

Guo Shanfeng felt the same way, "You're right! At the beginning we were all like this, barefoot people were not afraid of wearing shoes, but now we also wear shoes, and shoes are more precious than both sides, which makes us Sometimes when I become timid, I lose the courage I had before. Sometimes I think about myself late at night, and I often blush. It’s good for us to be cautious, but when it’s time to take the initiative, we still have to go forward as before, so that we can live up to our lord Let me wait for your trust! Besides, it’s not that you don’t know the master’s temper. Since the master didn’t say that we can’t fight, he gave us the power to make decisions on the fly. The master has always had no restrictions on the command of the frontline generals. My lord wants the result."

Guan Xinglong stood up and walked to the sand table, staring at the sand table, "If you want to fight, you should fight fast and defend quickly. Dingzhou has limited support for us now, and a lot of military resources are in the sand." Shipped to Minzhou, Bozhou, Youyan and other places, relying on Yizhou alone cannot support us to fight a large-scale battle."

"Not bad!" Guo Shanfeng nodded and said, "Hurry up and close, my goal is Changhua in Qingzhou. If we take down Changhua, Qingzhou will be cut in half by us."

Guan Xinglong was taken aback, "Changhua, this place is hundreds of miles away from our actual control. This logistics supply, grass and grain supplies? The supply line is stretched too long?"

"I want food because of the enemy!" Guo Shanfeng said decisively: "There is indeed a shortage of food and grass, but the summer grain is about to be harvested right now. We have the advantage of the fast and flexible cavalry, so we can quickly move forward, grab the territory, and harvest these places The summer grain is enough to support us in laying down Changhua."

"Then our military force must be fast and flexible. We must control these areas before the opponent understands it. Pass the general and let me be the Hengdao master!"

Guo Shanfeng shook his head, "You can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. Your department has to guard the Xiaoaihe defense area, and you have to take care of Anfu Temple, Huting and other places. You can't move lightly. I plan to let Feiyang Gu Feiling battalion join Li Fengyi prefectural battalion. Two units of [-] cavalry take the initiative, Xiong Dewu's Hailing Battalion and Jiang Heiniu's Ruijian Battalion follow behind, and they should make a full contribution!"

The troops mobilized by Guo Shanfeng are all well-known battalion leaders in the Dingzhou Army. Strictly speaking, their generals, except for Buyangu, are quite old, and all of them have experienced many battles.Guan Xinglong said with a smile: "Then it's no problem, with these four generals in action, they will be able to do their best."

"I'm going to personally go to command, Laoguan, Xiaoaihe defense area and Qinzhou Xingyuan will be handed over to you!" Guo Shanfeng patted Guan Xinglong on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"General, feel free to go. After the sound is fired there, I promise that the general will not let the general worry about it." Guan Xinglong said with a smile.

"Of course, I'm the only one who will shut down the general!" Guo Shanfeng said, "If you weren't here, I wouldn't dare to leave Qinzhou lightly, Zhou Tong is getting more and more difficult to deal with. Plus, with Shang Haibo playing tricks on him, I sleep with one eye open now!"

Both of them laughed. Indeed, with the passage of time, Zhou Tong put more and more pressure on them from the front. Of course, this is not unrelated to the strong support of Shang Haibo behind him. Shang Haibo is in power. After that, the interest in the Xingqin area seems to have been far more than other areas, and the number of troops invested in this direction far exceeds that of other theaters.

Now that the two have reached a consensus and are determined to fight, the next step is how to fight.The two discussed until late at night, and drew up a very detailed battle plan. It was already past midnight, and the guards outside the big tent saw the actions of the two generals, and they all understood, and the excitement calmed down for a long time. The Qin region is finally going to do a big job again, and they can't help but get excited.

After returning to his residence, Guan Xinglong was still thinking about the battle plan he had just negotiated with Guo Shanfeng. For this battle plan, there were indeed no loopholes to find. Guo Shanfeng is indeed a genius, what he thinks makes Guan Xinglong's eyes wide open.

After washing up under the service of the soldiers, although he was a little tired, Guan Xinglong still did not feel sleepy. He sat by the desk and picked up his pen. My lord, my lord can't handle it even with thousands of hands, but Guan Xinglong still decided to write a letter to Dingzhou.

Because Guan Xinglong always had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't express it.

Guo Shanfeng is indeed very smart. Although Li Qing didn't tell everyone about his overall plan, Guo Shanfeng vaguely guessed some of it. Starting from Dingzhou, he sent a large-scale increase of troops to Minzhou, and even the Changsheng Battalion also mobilized After entering Minzhou, Guo Shanfeng understood that Li Qing wanted to make a breakthrough from Minzhou. Once Chen Zeyue succeeded in Minzhou, no matter whether he attacked Suzhou or Pingzhou, the hinterland of Luoyang would be in trouble. Youyan can directly threaten Luoyang if you go out of the inclined valley at this time.In this way, the Luoyang forces can be cut into several pieces, but in this way, when I am in Qinzhou, the army of tens of thousands becomes a partial division instead.This made Guo Shanfeng a little reconciled. When the main male horse stepped into the world, if he could not play a pivotal role in it in the end, Chen Zeyue, Yang Yidao and others would inevitably come from behind.

Guo Shanfeng decided to launch the Battle of Qingzhou. As long as Qingzhou is captured, the situation will suddenly become clear, but the focus of the war will shift to the Xingqin area.

Maybe the lord will be unhappy, but the lord will pay more attention to the result!Guo Shanfeng can't sleep at night, maybe he can hide his thoughts from Guan Xinglong, but he can't hide from the lord, the cabinet ministers, and Dean Qingfeng.
