please make me king

Chapter 795 Zhang Wang Waiting
From a combat point of view, the maintenance of the ancient front is completely different from the tactics.

In ancient tactics, fighting in formations, the maintenance of the front relies on dense formations to hold each other against the enemy.

From the perspective of battle operations, the front line stretches for hundreds of miles, and it is unimaginable to rely entirely on the dense array of soldiers to maintain it.

The correct approach is generally to control several key nodes.For example, key points such as cities, checkpoints, and traffic arteries confront the enemy.

The Art of War says: If you prepare the left, you will be widowed on the right; if you prepare the right, you will be widowed on the left;

It is neither possible nor necessary to keep the front line watertight.

Therefore, this gives the other party a chance to intersperse and turn around and win by surprise.

In history, Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping, and Cao Mengde made a surprise attack on Wuchao.

Including the interspersed and roundabout tactics of the People's Army of later generations and the Soviet Union's large-depth combat theory, they are all combat methods aimed at breaking through the opponent's front.However, its theory and practical operation are more complicated and standardized.

This time Zhang Shun sent the rebel army to bypass Yuzhou and directly attack Xuzhou behind the officers and soldiers' front line, which can be regarded as a classic application of interspersed at the battle level.

Of course, purely from the perspective of military combat theory, the other side is not without countermeasures.

Strengthen the combat depth and keep enough reserves, which are enough to deal with most of the means of interspersed and roundabouts.

Originally, Fu Zonglong was stationed in Xuzhou, and Zu Kuan was stationed in Xinzheng, killing two birds with one stone.It can not only play the role of second-line depth, but also can be used as a reserve team to support and call at any time.

However, Fu Zonglong's manpower is really insufficient, and he has to stay behind Hu Dawei to garrison Kaifeng to avoid the fall of the Zongfan, which is even worse.

In order to seek a chance of victory, Fu Zonglong had to secretly mobilize his Biaoying and Zu Kuan's Liaodong Cavalry.

His transfer didn't matter, Jiang He entered Xuzhou City with his hands.

Before Jiang He came to steal the city, seeing Zhang Shun's solemn expression, he also said that this matter was extremely risky, and he was also mentally prepared to die in battle.

Fortunately, he was alone, and he didn't need to write a suicide note or carry the coffin.One person on the left and right is full, and the whole family is not hungry. Chiguoguo comes, Chiguoguo goes, no worries.

But he really didn't expect that when he came to Xuzhou City, he almost flashed his old waist.

Jiang He hurriedly rectified the defense of Xuzhou City, while writing to Zhang Shun outside Yuzhou City.Not long after, Zhang Shun really led the Qingqi and rushed to Xuzhou City.

When Jiang He, who was anxious in his heart, explained the whole story clearly, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and said, "You are really my lucky general!"

"Xuzhou is located in the middle of the Central Plains. You can see Zhengbian in the north, Runing in the south, Yuzhou and Ruzhou in the west, and Suichen and Guide in the east. I still think it will take a hard fight, but the general can take it lightly." City, so Fu Zonglong has nothing to fear!"

"Since this is the case, the position of the commander-in-chief of the Yubayashi Battalion must belong to the king!"

Jiang He was still listening in a daze before, but when he heard the last sentence, his mind immediately cleared up.

He quickly thanked him and said: "Thank you, my lord, for the promotion, Jiang He will be smashed to pieces, and I will not hesitate!"

After Jiang He finally left, Niu Jinxing hurried forward and said: "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord, the opportunity to fight is here!"

"How do you say that?" Zhang Shun laughed and couldn't help asking.

"My lord, are you going to test me?" Niu Jinxing also laughed when he heard the words, "Since our army has penetrated behind the enemy, we can take this opportunity to spread the news and shake the hearts of the troops in Xiangcheng and Yuzhou. My lord will not spend a single soldier." If you die, you can take these two cities!"

"Since Fu Zonglong is meeting in front of the formation, it is time for the 'Crossing General' Li Zicheng and the 'Living Cao Cao' Luo Rucai to arrive. My lord can use this chaotic situation to take the initiative and launch a decisive battle against the officers and soldiers!"

"Don't miss this opportunity. If you miss it, it will never come again. I hope the lord will make a quick decision!"

"Okay!" Zhang Shun clapped his hands and smiled, "Mr. Niu is very capable, it really is a hero who sees and agrees!"

"Where is Wang Jinyi? Send envoys to inform Yexian County Zhang Sanbai, Chai Shihua, Li Xin who besieged Yuzhou, Bai Guangen, Sweeping King, Mi County Li Jiyu, etc. will send troops quickly."

"Let them capture Xiangcheng, Yuzhou and Xinzheng respectively and order Chai Shihua to stay in Ye County, Zhang Sanbai to station in Xiangcheng; Li Xin to station in Yuzhou and Li Jiyu to station in Xinzheng, and the rest of the troops came to Xuzhou to join me and prepare decisive battle!"

When Wang Jinyi heard the news, he hurried to go, but within a day or two there were rumors inside and outside Yuzhou and Xiangcheng that the "thief" succeeded in surprise attacking Xuzhou, and the governor of Henan, Fu Zonglong, was defeated and killed. Yuzhou and Xiangcheng were cut off and isolated Unhelpful rumors.

Zuo Liangyu, who was stationed in Yuzhou at the beginning, and Meng Ruhu, who was stationed in Xiangcheng, didn't take it seriously, they just said: "Such a clumsy lie, who are you bluffing?"

As a result, two days later, the spies and messengers they sent to Xuzhou all said that the flags in Xuzhou City had changed, and it was clearly the banner of a thief, and the two of them panicked.

Especially Zuo Liangyu, who has suffered a lot from Zhang Shun's losses, is a bit like a warlord and a jittery.

As soon as he heard my soldiers come back to report, his first reaction was to meet Zhang Shun.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't help saying to the left and right: "This must follow the thief, not him, no one among the thieves has such a skill!"

"I'll wait and go, and if I'm late, I'll be caught by him!"

It was night, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but abandon the city and leave.There are Confucian generals like Li Xin, veteran generals like Bai Guangen, and heroes like the "Sweeper King" Zhang Yichuan in the Yijun camp, but they didn't even react, and they accidentally let him go east to Changge, and they all retreated.

And a braver general like fierce tiger didn't react as quickly as Zuo Liangyu.

Zhang Sanbai suffered from hesitation before, and learned a lot of wisdom. This time, he was much more decisive.

After receiving Zhang Shun's order, he immediately rectified his troops and crossed the Ru River to attack Xiangcheng.

Seeing that his number is only equal to his own, the fierce tiger dares to attack the city?So he opened the city gate and fought with Zhang Sanbai.

Bai Guangen, Zhang Yichuan and others who just occupied Yuzhou saw that there was still a fool here, how could they bear it?
They hurriedly led their elite soldiers to besiege. Originally, the fierce tiger and Zhang Sanbai were inextricably fighting, but they were so suddenly attacked by Bai Guangen, Zhang Yichuan and others, they had to retreat along the Ru River and retreat to Yancheng downstream.

But when the righteous army and the fierce tiger were fighting for Xiangcheng, Li Jiyu sent back the news that Xinzheng had been occupied to Zhang Shun one step ahead.

It turned out that the Yiding cavalry under the command of Zu Kuan who was stationed in Xinzheng was the most brutal, and the people of Xinzheng hated them deeply.

When he was transferred away by Fu Zonglong, some people passed the news to Li Jiyu.

At first, Li Jiyu was skeptical, thinking that this was a trick of the officers and soldiers to lure the snake out of the hole.

It wasn't until many Xinzheng people fled to Mi County with their families that Li Jiyu confirmed the fact that Zu Kuan Yiding's cavalry had left.

While Li Jiyu readily took it, he couldn't help feeling lingering fear.

Although Zhang Shun repeatedly enforced military discipline, and the military pay and rations were relatively sufficient, how could Li Jiyu, who was born as a "Mangshan Pirate", care about these things?

It happened that he was far away from Zhang Shun and was at ease, so it was inevitable that he behaved irregularly in private.

Until this time, he felt a chill down his back.

Ordinary people treat officers and soldiers like this, let alone a bandit?If you hate these people, maybe you will stumbling yourself somewhere.
