Humane Yongchang

Chapter 164 Prepare with both hands
The army set out, marched urgently for one day, and arrived at Shuangsuo Mountain in the south of Qiao County in the early morning of the next day.

This section of the road, as Chen Hu said, is flat in the middle, with peaks on both sides, and the mountains are steep and difficult to climb, much like the Loess Plateau in the Shaanxi-Gansu region.

Under Xiang Liang's suggestion, Chen Sheng did not set the ambush location at the most suitable water intake section, but set the ambush location at the end of the northern section of Shuangsuo Mountain.

In Xiang Liang's words, the road in Shuangsuo Mountain is very suitable for setting up an ambush. All you need to do is to ambush [-] troops on both sides of the mountain road, and then block the road at both ends with stone and wood, whether you are [-] troops or [-] troops. Dajun, it's all boiled duck!
But it is also very suitable for setting up an ambush. Even if a mediocre general who is not familiar with military affairs leads the army here, he will be 12 very careful, but it will be difficult to accomplish anything.

It should be noted that in the battle of ambush, surprise is the best, the time is right and the people are second.

Once the enemy is on guard, no matter what you do, the effect will be greatly reduced!
Place the ambush at the end of the road that will exit Shuangsuo Mountain.

As a result, it is convenient to clean up the enemy scouts and reduce the possibility of exposure.

Second, when the Shuangsuo Mountain section is about to exit, it is the time when the enemy is the most relaxed. At this time, an attack is suddenly launched, which can hit the enemy by surprise to the greatest extent.

He was right, and Chen Sheng was naturally good-natured.

After selecting the ambush site, Chen Sheng released his horse to check the enemy's movements.

noon.

After visiting the horse, the enemy was less than thirty miles away.

Moreover, the enemy army did not know whether they were in a hurry to hurry, or whether they never expected that thousands of troops from Chen County would still have the courage to enter Qiao County.

The [-]-strong army marched hurriedly in a line of long snakes, and pulled out five or six miles on the horse road. The soldiers and armor were separated, and the soldiers only carried spears.

What's even more outrageous is that the [-]-strong army is marching outside, and even the scouts are not released!

This is more than an outsider!

This is simply layman!
After receiving the report from the scouts, Chen Sheng immediately raised his tent and recruited the commanders of the troops: Cao Chendao, the army soldier of the county, Zhao Si, Hou Zhaosi of the third army of the Red Army, Hou Jibu of the fourth army of the Red Army, and the commander of the Xiang family army. item beam.

Plus Chief of Staff Fan Zeng.

……

Chinese army tent.

Chen Sheng stood above the long plan with the map of the Shuangsuo Mountain section. After telling the report of the scout he received, he laughed and joked: "It seems that the commander of the Yellow Turban Army looks down on us very much! "

The generals standing on both sides burst out with a low burst of laughter, and the solemn meaning in their eyes eased a little.

"Tell me, how to fight this battle."

Chen Sheng asked with a smile.

Generals, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.

Zhao Si and Ji Bu were both rookies leading the army, and they were asked to take their troops and horses to cut down the enemy's troops and horses.

Chen Dao stared at the map and felt that Chen Sheng's plan was already perfect, and he couldn't think of anything to add for a while.

As for Xiang Liang, it was because all the generals in the tent belonged to Chen Sheng, and he was an outsider, so it was difficult for him to come out of the limelight.

speak up.

He would lead troops here to help Chen Sheng retreat from the enemy, not because Chen Sheng promised him some great profits and high positions.

Of course, it is certainly not because of the friendship between Chen Xiang and his family.

The real reason is probably the same as the reason why Chen Shou led his troops to Dangshan to help Meng Tian and Ren Xiao's army fight.

Xiang County is a county under the jurisdiction of Chen County.

Even if Xiang County did not listen to the tune or the announcement on weekdays, Chen Sheng never asked about Xiang County's affairs. Within the twelve counties under the jurisdiction of Chen County, it was almost equivalent to an independent city-state.

However, Xiang County cannot get rid of the affiliation in terms of geographical location.

It is said that when the sky falls, there is a tall person on it.

Chen Sheng is now the tall one in Chen County!

If Chen Sheng can't stand it, he will fall!

Next, it must be their turn to Xiang County Xiang Shi!
You know, his Xiang family is a branch of the Ji family name.

In other places, when the Yellow Turbans came to the door, there was still a chance to take refuge in Taiping Road in exchange for the safety of the whole family.

Mr. Xiang, he didn't have this chance!

The blood of Ji surname flowing in their bodies does not allow them to take refuge in Taiping Road.

Taipingdao wouldn't trust a family with Ji's blood flowing in its body!

So help Chen Sheng.

It is equivalent to helping the county!

Help him!

This, he understands.

Chen Sheng also understood.

It is precisely because of this that after Xiang Liang led a thousand-five disciples to the Chen family army camp, he acted as a guest army: he was not responsible for combat and did not participate in any internal affairs of the Chen family army.

Although he Xiang Liang is the one with the most comprehensive and rich experience in leading troops among the [-] troops at the moment!
Finally, Fan Zeng spoke up and took over Chen Sheng's words: "General Xiang, in your opinion, will the enemy army pass through Shuangsuo Mountain today?"

Xiang Liang was stunned, as if he never expected Fan Zeng to be the first to ask himself.

After staring at the map for a few breaths of thought, he shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, one depends on the military order, and the other depends on whether the army has enough water."

"A certain family is looking at this map. Within a radius of [-] miles, there is only the section of Shuangsuo Mountain near the Wuhe River where the army can draw water."

"It's already mid-day now, and it's almost night after another [-] miles."

"Marching at night is a taboo!"

"If you cross this dangerous road again, it will be a taboo among taboos!"

"So as long as there is enough water in the army and the military order is not urgent, a certain family will set up camp outside the Shuangsuo Mountain, and tomorrow morning will regroup the army to cross this dangerous road."

"But if one of the two is missing..."

"A certain family will try to cross this dangerous road today!"

Hearing this, Chen Sheng couldn't help but knocked on the case table in front of him with a smile, and smiled at Chen Dao, Zhao Si, Ji Bu and others: "What is professionalism? This is called professionalism! Listen carefully and study hard!"

All three smiled and nodded.

Xiang Liang also smiled and clasped his fists: "A superficial opinion is laughable and generous."

Chen Sheng shook his head slowly and said, "General Xiang is too self-effacing... General Xiang said that there is no place for the army to draw water within a radius of [-] miles, so will the enemy army spend the night on the banks of the Wo River? I will go there. I've seen it, I've seen it there, the terrain is broad and flat, enough for [-] troops to camp!"

"Probably not!"

After a few breaths of condensed Xiang Liang, he shook his head and said: "It is an adventure to cross the Shuangsuo Mountain at night, and it is an adventure to stay at the Wu River at night, but it is not the same. Once blocked, it will become a turtle in a cage, and the future should not be so unwise!"

Chen Shengqu tapped the book on the horse and silk on the table, and said warmly, "That's not certain!"

The generals laughed again when they saw where his fingers were pointing.

Also!

But any general with some brains and a little bit of knowledge will not do stupid things that combine the three major taboos of marching: the long snake, the separation of soldiers and armor, and the absence of scouts!

Chen Sheng looked at Fan Zeng who was stroking his three-inch beard and staring at the map in a trance and said, "Mr. Fan, what do you think?"

Fan Zeng nodded slowly and said, "What Your Majesty said is exactly what the minister wanted to ask."

"Whether the enemy army crosses Shuangsuo Mountain tonight or tomorrow morning, it makes no difference to our army, just hide their tracks and wait for the rabbits!"

"But if the enemy is sleeping on the banks of the vortex at night, then that's a method of warfare..."

When Chen Sheng heard him say this, the image of the magician mowing the grass with "fire and rain" to clear the mobs came to his mind.

He couldn't help but smile.

What Fan Zeng said was exactly what he wanted to say!
Sure enough, the answers of the masters are often the same, and the answers of the scumbags will be full of tricks!
"If that's the case, then prepare two plans!"

Chen Sheng pulled away his smile, knocked on the table in front of him neither lightly nor severely, and said sternly.

Seeing this, the generals on both sides straightened their waists and stood solemnly!

"The plan for the enemy to spend the night on the riverside of the vortex."

"The soldiers are divided into three routes, and the middle route is led by me. In addition to all the soldiers and horses who have recently practiced the 'Tai Chi Bagua Diagram', a thousand soldiers and horses are selected from the fourth song of the Red Army to guard, Zhao Shan and Ji Bu each Take five hundred."

"The remaining two routes, one is led by Xiang Liang, the other is led by Chen Dao, each leads the fourth line of troops of the Thousand Five Red Army, one south and one north block the enemy's way!"

"The enemy army crosses the double lock mountain plan."

"The same army is divided into three routes, the middle route is led by me, and the third song of the Red Army!"

"The northern route is dominated by Zhao Shan, supplemented by Ji Bu, and the fourth song of the Red Army."

"The southern route is dominated by Xiang Liang, supplemented by Chen Dao, and the Xiang family army and the county army are under the command."

"It's still an ambush in the middle, surrounded by both ends."

"Everyone, do you understand?"

The generals clasped their fists and said in unison, "Understood!"

Chen Sheng waved his hand and said, "Then hurry up and prepare, time is running out!"

Generals: "Only!"

After all the generals left the big tent, Chen Sheng turned his head and said to Fan Zeng who was on the side: "Fan Gong, according to my opinion, the second plan is to only use 800 people to form the 'Tai Chi Eight Diagrams' formation!"

"You have never used the formation of 8000 people. It is still unknown whether the soldiers behind the formation will still have the power to fight!"

"The road in Shuangsuo Mountain is narrow and winding, and the enemy army stretches out for seven or eight miles. No matter how powerful an 8000-man formation is, it is difficult to accomplish great feats. In the end, the soldiers have to go down to kill the enemy."

"A formation of 800 people is enough to defeat the enemy's guts!"

"Both, our army is a new army, and we still haven't trained troops in such a battle of superiority, when will we wait?"

"Three, the fourth song of the Red Army has been successfully trained, and you can appropriately capture some soldiers for your own use."

Fan Zeng had guessed what he was thinking when he heard him talk about the second set of plans for the [-] soldiers of the Central Army. Now, when he heard his explanation, he felt even more relieved.

Immediately, he bowed his hand with sincerity and sincerity: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and thoughtful, but your ministers are far behind!"

Chen Sheng helped him up and said with a smile: "Then, now we can discuss and discuss in detail, which moves of the Tai Chi Bagua Diagram Array to use against the enemy!"

……

at dusk.

[-] Yangzhou Yellow Turbans rushed to the outside of Shuangsuo Mountain.

timely.

A helmet and armor, dressed as a general and a strong man, rode to a gorgeous carriage in the middle of the army, cupped his hands and said: "General Qi, my troops have reached Shuangsuo Mountain, do you want to enter the mountain?"

The carriage trembled, and the faint whimper of the woman was constantly heard.

No one came out of the carriage, only to hear an impatient scolding: "If you don't go into the mountains, will you guys drink the northwest wind to quench your thirst?"

The general hesitantly glanced at the two towering mountains in front of him, and said in a low voice, "General, this place is too dangerous, can you get out of the car for a look, and then issue an order?"

After a short while, I saw a shrewd figure with a disheveled hair and two shirtless arms. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced in the direction of Shuangsuo Mountain, and immediately scolded impatiently: "The soldiers and horses of Qiao County have long been Being defeated by my heavenly army, you are afraid of a bird? You are so greedy for life and fear of death, what kind of army do you lead, go home and find your mother for milk! Waste!"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already lowered the curtain of the carriage anxiously, turned around and threw himself back into the carriage.

Only a high-pitched female wailing sound was heard, and the carriage began to shake again.

Bi Jiang looked at the trembling curtain, and the snow-white scene that he had just seen when he glanced at it flashed in his mind.

He reluctantly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then with a sullen look on his face, he turned around and ran towards the front of the army.

"Enter the mountain!"

"Prepare for camp!"
