Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 435: The Battle of Quarrying (4)

The defenders of Caishiji were easily eliminated by Li Chuyun. After inspecting the terrain, Guo Shao discussed with the officials of the shogunate and the generals, and believed that the floating bridge could be erected under the control of the river, so Wang Pu was ordered to mobilize artisans and civilians to do this.

A group of people once again inspected the Yangtze River on the spot and cruised on the surface of the Yangtze River in a warship.

Wang Pu looked up at the bow of the ship in a robe, and Guo Shao walked over from the deck and watched the scene on the river for a long time. The sails were little, the wheels of the waterwheel turned and rustled, and waves of white waves splashed on the surface of the river.

After a long time, Guo Shao said: "The river is in the heart of the two Luzhou areas. The Yangtze River is the three waterways here, the westernmost one is the narrowest. When Wang Shijun supervised the construction of the pontoon bridge, he considered the ease of dismantling the western one."

Wang Pu thought for a while and said, "General Guo, in order to make way for the navy ships?"

Guo Shao said: "Exactly. The quarrying ferry is occupied and our army has a large floating bridge. Jinling cannot sit back and watch it anyway. The first threat to quarrying is the Nantang reinforcements from Jinling... Li Chuyun puts the main force of the navy on He should have anticipated the construction of a water village on the north side of the river.

However, the Southern Tang Army still has a large number of navy in Hukou, beware of them breaking through the defense lines of Anhui and Chizhou. At that time, Li Chuyun's navy should cross the pontoon bridge and meet the enemy from the south; only one pontoon bridge can be removed. "

Wang Pu agreed.

At this time the warship arrived at the quarrying ferry on the east bank, and everyone watched the river. Guo Shao wanted to go ashore to see Li Chuyun, so he separated from Wang Pu and disembarked from the quarry pier. Li Chuyun's Chinese army line is at the quarry pier.

At first, Guo Shao and others left Hezhou for the itinerary, only to patrol the river. It was Guo Shao's temporary decision to cross the river to meet Li Chuyun.

Guo Shao and Li Chuyun have not seen each other for several months, but when Li Chuyun saw that Guo Shao couldn’t take care of him, he just asked: “I sent someone to report the urgent matter to the lord at an hour, can the lord receive it?"

Guo Shao said, "No, it is estimated that the report is still in Hezhou. What's the matter for General Li?"

"Let's go to the lobby and say."

The group then entered the room, and Li Chuyun said: "It is secretly reported that Jiangning Mansion has been mobilizing soldiers and horses frequently recently, and it is rumored that they will strengthen quarrying!"

Guo Shao's expression suddenly became serious. After a while he opened his mouth and said: "The quarrying is very important. You must not miss this battle."

Li Chuyun said, "The most likely target for the Southern Tang Army to go south from Jiangning Mansion is the Quarry Ferry, followed by Dangtu City. If it is the Quarry Ferry, I plan to guard the quarry Suoxi River with Gao Yanfang and Long Jie Army infantry. , Facing the enemy head-on; Long Jie army cavalry ambushes Shipo Mountain to the southeast of the quarry. During the decisive battle at the Suoxi River battlefield, Shipo Mountain ambushes out of the forest and quickly raided the enemy's rear wing to shake its camp... "

"Maybe the goal is to be Tucheng?" Guo Shao said in thought.

Li Chuyun put his palm on the bushy beard of his chin and said: "The Southern Tang Army attacked the quarry with obvious intentions. It wanted to retake the ferry and rebuild the river defense. This is the most beneficial way for the Nantang State to succeed.

But if the Nantang Army coach thinks that the field is not an elite opponent of our army, there is a safer way: to reinforce Dangtucheng. The intention of this law is not to guard the river, but to guard Jiangning. "

Guo Shao suddenly said: "I understand."

Li Chuyun nodded and said: "As long as there are heavy soldiers in Tucheng, our army wants to go from quarrying to Jiangning Mansion, and the ferry and back are always under the threat of Tucheng. We will be forced to attack the city instead of a field battle. ."

Guo Shao said: "The warship was transferred to the West Bank, and the three armies of the Tiger and Ben Army were rushed to quarrying to deploy the quarrying battle."

Guo Shao stayed in Jiangdong. The early tactical deployment was that the Long Jie Army deployed its main force in the Suoxi River (quarry pier) to wait for work; the Huben Army’s first cavalry and second and third army mounted infantry were deployed in the southeast. Shipo Mountain; Gao Yanjian's Jiannan Army camped at Dahuang Mountain, twenty miles southeast.

If the Southern Tang Army circumvents Dangtu city from the east in depth, Gao Yanjian will move east to block, and the main force of the Zhou army near the quarry will then reinforce Gao Yanya.

...

Here Guo Shao was anxious to mobilize the Tiger and Ben Army across the river, but he still overestimated the reaction speed of the Southern Tang Army. Ten days later, Huangfu Jixun set off from Jiangning Mansion, Lin Renzhao pioneered, and Huangfu Jixun's main force followed by more than 40,000 people. "

Lin Renzhao sent a large number of scouts to the south to investigate the military situation, and discovered the Gao Yanquan camp, which was camped twenty miles southeast of the quarry. Two days later, Lin Renzhao's striker drove more than ten thousand steps to a stop in Suoxi Hebei twenty miles.

He rode back to the main army in person, saying that the main general Huangfu Jixun: "It is not suitable to take quarry in this battle, let's go to Dangtu first."

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Jixun had an unbelievable look, and said unceremoniously: "You have a brain disease? Dangtu has become an isolated city. Zhou Jun is crossing the river from a quarry. Let's not get back the quarry ferry nearby. We ran to Dangtu drink. Northwest wind?"

Lin Renzhao heard the very unpleasant tone, and suppressed his anger: "Our soldiers can still fight on the water, and defend the city, and they will lose in the field battle! Going to quarry today, you cannot defeat Zhou Jun head-on. It will fall short. It is better to retreat and reinforce Dangtu. Although this city is a lonely city, fortunately it has strong fortifications and sufficient food and grass. Our army can be stationed for a long time."

Huangfu Jixun sneered and said, "There is a bird in the dead place stationed at Dangtu! Now Dangtu city is in our hands, blocking Zhou Jun? You go to the river and look at it, Zhou Jun still swaggers from the quarry crossing. River!"

Lin Renzhao said: "Dangtu City cannot threaten the Zhou army, because the troops are empty and they dare not go out of the city. Our 60,000 troops are stationed, and the situation is completely different. As long as the main force of the Zhou army dared to attack the capital northward, our department will be able to do it. Attack, retake the ferry and cut off Zhou's back."

Huangfu Jixun shook his head and said: "When you were in Jiangning, you were the one who was eager to fight, and the army was dispatched, and you were the one who wanted to hide."

Lin Renzhao was furious: "Who is the one who wins the fight, his mother is willing to be so grind, what's the use of going to death if you can't win?"

Huangfu Jixun sneered and said, "If that's the case, you just go down."

Lin Renzhao said: "You are willing to die, you go! I'm going to be smeared out! Whatever you want, your majesty has to say first, I can ignore you and just take orders from the court.

Lin Renzhao returned to the barracks with a sigh of anger, and shouted at the general Huangfu Jixun in front of the soldiers.

At this time, he saw the scout from Dangtucheng again, learned the detailed process of the field battle on the bank of Guxi, and was furious. Regardless of the bad influence, he cursed in public: "Yang Shou is purely a straw bag! How did these people become the generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty? The imperial court will not employ people!"

The ministers were busy persuading him. Many of the colleagues above were at odds with Lin Renzhao, but the lower-level soldiers quickly called him brothers, because Lin Renzhao always shared the joys and sorrows with everyone, not to mention the deduction of military pay and silver, and he was very fair in doing things. The soldiers naturally liked him.

Lin Renzhao started a fire, and finally did not have the impulse, first stood still, waiting for the arrival of Huangfu Jixun's army.

It was reported that there was a Zhou army in the south of Dahuangshan, a native of Shu. During the Battle of Huainan, Lin Renzhao had some insights about the combat effectiveness of the descendants of the Shu Kingdom, and he didn't take it seriously... If Huangfu Jixun agreed to go to Dangtu together, as long as a single force dragged the people of Shu, the main force of the Southern Tang army would be able to successfully follow Go east to Dangtu.

But now that Lin Renzhao can't make a move, this group of Shu people may actually drag Lin Renzhao, and then attract the quarrying Zhou army to besiege.

So Lin Renzhao waited for the main force of the Southern Tang Army. When the main force went to quarry and fight with the Zhou army, Lin Renzhao went south to defeat the people of Shu, so that he would not be besieged.

Lin Renzhao stood still, and Huangfu Jixun's servant was also unable to get up. Tens of thousands of troops spent three or four days in the field without doing anything.

Lin Renzhao didn't understand what Huangfu Jixun meant. At this time, the official document from the court came and asked Lin Renzhao as a forward why he didn't move!

Now he finally understands that Huangfu Jixun's servant has gone to file a complaint these days! Of course, Lin Renzhao was unwilling to go quarrying and attacking Zhou's elite. So he wrote to justify the benefits of going to Tucheng by himself; after Lin Renzhao's army increased his troops to become Tucheng, the strength of the city could reach more than 20,000, which would pose a great threat to the quarry ferry and Zhou Jun's stomach and back in the future.

Soon, Li Yu came to the imperial decree, decree that if Lin Renzhao wants to reinforce Dangtu, he should leave as soon as possible without delay.

After some wrangling, Lin Renzhao reluctantly took the lead in going around the east depth first, and then went south to Dangtucheng. It was agreed that Huangfu Jixun would launch an attack on the quarry as soon as possible to avoid the main force of the Zhou army from drawing hands.

A day later, Lin Renzhao got a report, and the Shu army in Dahuangshan sent out eastward and blocked the front. Lin Renzhao sent people to Huangfu Jixun Camp to confirm the situation overnight. He learned that Huangfu Jixun's department had already dispatched and arrived near Suoxi River; although they had not yet clashed with the Zhou army, they were very close, and the two sides had become a warrior.

Lin Renzhao breathed a sigh of relief. Only the elite Zhou Jun from the stone quarrying team was dragged down. Didn't the Shu people here collapse at once?

Lin Renzhao then ordered the war to start the next morning and line up to attack Gao Yanqi!

...

In the evening, the main force of the Southern Tang Army was several miles away from Suoxi River. It is reported that the Southern Tang Army Camp occupies a large area, with about 50,000 people!

Li Yu did pay this time ~www.readwn.com~ Now Guo Shao is facing the problem, the quarry pier camp has only more than 10,000 people in the right side of Long Jiejun (some of them are still in the hands of Luo Yanhuan in Chizhou).

The frontal force disparity is a bit big! The combat effectiveness of the Southern Tang Forbidden Army may not be as good as Zhou's elite, but it has several times the number of advantages. Both Guo Shao and Li Chuyun feel that the risk is greater.

Then there is a reserve force, the three armies of the Tiger Ben Army at Shipo Mountain near the quarry battlefield, and there are nearly 10,000 people... This mobile force is used to support the front of the quarry battlefield?

"If the Tigers and Cardinals go north to cope, then the troops east of the Southern Tang Army will be slapped. This time it is the elites of the Southern Tang Army's imprisonment. Gao Yanliang may not be able to stop it." Li Chuyun said.

Guo Shao said nothing, bowed his head in thought.

Li Chuyun said again: "The enemy soldiers going to Dangtu are on the defensive. The tens of thousands of troops here are indeed offensive, and quarrying is even more important. General Guo is cautious. Why not transfer the tiger to the north and stabilize the quarrying situation? ”R1058
