Humane Yongchang

Chapter 168
At a time when everyone was overjoyed and celebrated for the great victory on the banks of the vortex.

Chen Sheng is still calm.

He knew very well that the victory in front of him was like a good start at the poker table.

The first one wins is paper, and the last one is money...

And compared with Tu Sui, who has 15 soldiers.

His book is too small.

He has won Tu Sui ten times, and Tu Sui may have just broken his bones.

And as long as Tu Sui wins him once, he may go bankrupt!
Therefore, after the end of the Battle of the Vortex, he took his subordinates to slaughter and fled into the forest.

Take the time to continue training.

On the one hand, he continuously released a large number of horses to the south to grasp the movements of Tu Sui's army.

According to his own reckoning.

After Tu Sui had two defeats, there could only be two reactions.

The first is to stick to Mengxian County, consolidate the logistics supply line, wait for the Qingxu Yellow Turban Army to open the breakthrough in Yanzhou, and then move northward.

The second is to raise an army, go north and attack Chen County to take revenge.

In short, it is impossible to divide troops to deliver food to him!

Comprehensive Taiping Road's current form, and the strength of his subordinates.

Chen Sheng prefers the latter.

Although obviously the first one is more beneficial to Tu Sui's army.

But that's how war is. Tactics serve strategy, not local pros and cons.

Based on this judgment.

On the one hand, Chen Sheng intensified his relationship with Meng Tian, ​​and on the basis of joining forces to defeat Tu Sui's army, they agreed on various detailed tactics of front and rear pincer attack.

On the one hand, he reorganized the more than [-] soldiers captured in the war of the vortex into a civilian army, and transferred a large number of coal and winter clothes from Chen County to prepare for a protracted battle with the Tu Sui army!
It is worth mentioning that in the battle of the vortex, Chen Sheng seized enough food and grass for half a month for the [-] troops from the front of the [-]-slaughter army, and the pressure on the food supply was greatly reduced.

……

November thirteen.

Yanzhou ushered in the first heavy snow this year.

The goose feather snow continued for a day and a night.

The mountains and rivers are frozen, and thousands of miles are silver.

The Tu Sui army, who went north, had not yet reached Chengfu County, a hundred or ten miles south of Qiao County, when they were trapped on the horse road by heavy snow, unable to go any further.

Chen Sheng received the report of the visit and immediately summoned Meng Tian.

When Tu Suiti's army went north, he had already moved to Mengtian in Shansang County. After receiving the summons from Chen Sheng, he immediately led his troops to raid Mengcheng. It took only one hour to successfully recover Mengcheng. In this way, Tu Sui's army was cut off.

When Tu Sui's army learned that the food route was cut off, Fangcun was in chaos, and immediately returned to Mengcheng, trying to attack Mengtian with heavy troops, recapture Mengcheng, and continue the food route.

Chen Sheng received the report from the horse exploration, and made a decisive decision, and the whole army went south to pursue the Tu Sui army.

With the extravagant transportation capacity of [-] soldiers and [-] civilians, Chen Shengjun took two days to catch up with Tu Sui's army, who was struggling in the wind and snow.

At that time, Tu Sui's army had only traveled less than a hundred miles south, and there were still one or two hundred miles away from Mengcheng.

Next, it is a big show on tactical command!

General Chen Sheng's 5000 soldiers were divided into two divisions, one with [-] troops and only carrying two days' rations.

Tu Sui's army marched for nearly ten days, and was besieged in the snow again, with thin clothes and little food, and the soldiers had no firewood to make fire, so they could only feed their hunger with raw food, and they were already extremely weak.

As for Chen Shengjun, who waited for a long time and leaned on Chen Jun as a backup, the winter clothes and bedding in the camp were rich and fueled. Whenever the soldiers returned to the camp, they could comfortably eat a hot bite and then get into the warm ones. Take a nap under the covers!
Coupled with Chen Shengjun's repeated victories, his morale was like a rainbow.

And Tu Sui's army lost its soldiers and lost their generals, running back and forth, and the hearts of the people were broken.

Logistics is not as good as people.

Physical strength is not as good as human.

Morale is not as good as people.

So much so that every time Chen Shengjun's soldiers attacked, they were all imposing like tigers. They only hated that their legs were too short and they couldn't charge fast enough, but their knives were not sharp enough to kill the enemy and it would take a few more knives!

And every time Tu Suijun heard the screams of killing from Chen Shengjun, his face turned pale, he only hated that his parents had two less legs, and he only hated that he was not a rat and couldn't dig a hole in place.

Tu Sui's army retreated.

Chen Shengjun marched in.

Tu Sui marched in.

Chen Shengjun withdrew.

Tu Sui army stationed.

Chen Shengjun disturbed.

Tu Sui's army assembled superior forces and set up an ambush.

Chen Shengjun bypassed the rear army and raided the flank.

The more and more Tu Sui's army fought, the more devastated they were.

Chen Shengjun is getting more and more imposing as he fights!

In a day, Chen Shengjun would launch three or four raids on Tu Sui's army.

Day and night.

Retreat with one hit.

So much so that Chen Sheng kept telling himself not to float, not to float, and finally nodded.

However, after he took the lead, the command became smoother and smoother, and the results of the battle were getting bigger and bigger every time.

This made him have some doubts about life: Did he think too highly of Tu Sui?Is it possible that Tu Sui is not as powerful as he imagined?

He didn't understand.

But this pursuit battle has become a large training ground in his eyes.

Train your soldiers.

Also exercise his commanding attainments.

Also really effective.

He clearly sensed that the state of his soldiers was becoming more and more polarized.

Once in the camp, the three sticks, who were silent and taciturn, couldn't make a single fart. They ate and drank, and fell asleep. Often, in a large camp of several thousand people, all they could hear was the crackling sound of firewood burning.

On the battlefield, as long as his attack order is issued, one by one, it is like turning from stone and wood sculptures into living creatures. Influenced, but shouting louder and more brutal.

His own command has become more and more spiritual.

In his original understanding, tactical command should be an accurate statistics, a knowledge that constantly weighs the strength of both the enemy and the enemy, and seeks to obtain the greatest victory at the least cost.

But after he commanded more and more battles, he slowly discovered that the tactical command in the cold weapon era is actually a complex knowledge similar to the "seeing, hearing, asking, and knowing" in Chinese medicine diagnosis.

Now he only needs to stand above the enemy's marching formation to see if there is any fraud, where the enemy's formation is weak, and quickly get a suitable time and place to raid.

Even during the fight, he could accurately grasp the status of the soldiers on both sides through factors such as the ups and downs of shouting and killing, the changes in the formations of the enemy and the enemy on the battlefield, and thus decide whether to withdraw or increase troops.

It sounds simple, but it's actually very complicated.

There is not so much time on the battlefield for him to think and speculate, and he often glances at it, and he can come up with an order by feeling.

But behind this order, it is often the best conclusion drawn by synthesizing the period of the enemy and us, the movement direction of the people of the enemy and us, and even the weather, terrain, time and other factors!
This test is not only for experience, but also for a person's brain power!
The more and more powerful soldiers, combined with the more and more clever command, turned Chen Sheng's army into a fierce and agile cheetah.

Although the Tu Sui Army has a large number of people, its actions are slow and its command is rigid, just like a buffalo that is about to die...

In the process of Chen Shengjun chasing and killing Tu Sui army.

It was not like he had ever met a Taoist priest who did not have the kind of Yellow Turban who could summon thunder and boulders in the air.

But the Taoist priests in the Yellow Turbans were extremely sympathetic to their lives, and they would not take action until Chen Shengjun was surrounded by Tu Sui's army.

At first, there was a Taoist priest in the Yellow Turban. When Chen Shengjun was rushing back and forth in the back camp of Tu Sui Army, he cast a spell in the air, but the shield was pierced by javelins fired by several Chen Shengjun soldiers, and he was so scared...

But even so, when Chen Sheng led the raid, he would still bring Fan Zeng with him, ready to fight.

……

In just five days.

Chen Sheng commanded troops to raid Tu Sui's army more than [-] times.

In terms of results, it's actually not that big.

More than twenty times only killed less than 2 soldiers of Tu Sui's army, and he himself paid the price of more than 2000 casualties.

Compared with the great victory of the Shuangsuo Mountain Ambush, where [-] enemies were killed and [-] prisoners were captured, it was almost unreasonable.

However, the feeling of suffocation and panic that more than [-] people were chased and chopped by more than [-] people, chased after continuous bloodletting, and the blow to the morale of Tu Sui's army was far from what the Tuoxian ambush and Shuangsuoshan ambush could compare to. !

Moreover, marching in the snow was already difficult, and he was entangled by more than [-] sling-boot ghosts like Chen Sheng, shamelessly stalking him, and Tu Sui's marching speed was even more slow as a turtle!
Mengcheng, which could have been reached in two or three days.

Now that we have walked for five days, we are still forty or fifty miles away from Mengcheng!

In addition, the daily distribution of food in the military is getting less and less...

The 10-strong army of Tu Sui, who marched northward with pride, was pushed to the brink of disintegration step by step by Chen Sheng's rogue guerrilla tactics!

But what can Tu Sui do?

His original plan was to break through Chen County in one fell swoop, support the war with warfare, then divide his troops into Liang County, and lead Xuzhou to serve as the arrogant army. In this way, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou were connected into one, and the great thing was accomplished!

How could he calculate that in Yanzhou, where there is very little snowfall, the snowfall this year will be so great that the road is closed?
The heavy snow blocked the road, seriously slowing down his marching speed.

He couldn't defeat Chen Jun before he ran out of food and grass, the food supply was the lifeline of the [-] army under his command!
But how could he have expected that instead of stopping him from entering Chen County, Meng Tian would attack his rear and cut off his food supply?

The food passage is now cut off.

The food and forage left in the army was not enough for five days.

There are roadblocks ahead.

Then there are the deadly wolves.

Dangerous!

……

The lead cloud was low, and the sky was dim.

Chen Sheng and his generals braved the wind and snow to climb high and look far.

Under the gloomy sky, the black and round Tu Sui army camp was like a country between the silver-clad world and the sky, with a chilling aura!

He knew that the time for the decisive battle had come...

"Success is also heavy snow, defeat is heavy snow!"

Chen Sheng fixedly looked at the huge military camp and whispered to himself.

Xiang Liang on the side heard the words and asked curiously, "Why did the general say this?"

Chen Sheng sighed lightly: "Tu Sui's army landing on such a field is not the merit of our army's battles, but it is actually taking advantage of the times."

"If it weren't for the heavy snow in the past few days, Tu Sui's army would have already broken into my Chen County. Even if I joined forces with Meng Tian, ​​I could only reluctantly entangle him and buy time to find an opportunity to defeat the enemy."

He is very self-aware.

The gap between [-] and [-] cannot be filled by a miracle.

At the beginning of receiving the report that Tu Sui sent his division north, he wanted to move all the people in Tuo County to Chen County.

In the southeastern part of Chenjun, he and Meng Tian joined forces to slowly entangle with Tu Sui's army, exchanging space for time.

The logistical pressure on Tu Suijun was far heavier than his.

As long as he can drag it on, he must win!
Fight for war?

What happened to Chen Jun, no one else knew.

Don't you know about him, the county governor of Chen County?

If he can find food for [-] soldiers and horses, he will lose!
"But it is precisely because of this heavy snow that the morale of Tu Sui's army has slumped to this point, and it has the power to fight decisively."

"In another time, in another time when there is a way to survive, Tu Sui Army was chased and killed by us in such a way that it was a hundred and ten miles away, and it should have been broken up long ago."

"But right now, no matter how sluggish their morale is, everyone in the army understands that only by retaking Mengcheng and reconnecting to the food route can they have a way to survive..."

The generals heard the words and nodded in agreement.

It is said that the closer the relationship is, the harder it is to see the achievements of those around you.

But now, even Zhao Si and Chen Dao, now looking at Chen Sheng, are full of conviction.

Chen Sheng used the meticulous commanding art in these five days, not only to completely subdue the military heart of the eight thousand soldiers and horses under his command, but also subdue the hearts of their elders!

After pondering for a moment, Xiang Liang said solemnly: "The [-] elite soldiers whose morale is like a rainbow will face the [-] troops with sluggish morale. This battle is not difficult to fight!"

"It's not hard to beat!"

Chen Sheng nodded slightly, and finally sighed: "But this battle, there is no need to fight like that!"

Xiang Liang is unclear.

Chen Sheng did not explain to him.

The tough and deadly battles along the way, the eight thousand soldiers under his command have already fought enough.

The training of their recruits has come to an end.

What they need now is not a massive battle of flesh and blood.

Instead, rest and settle.

After being revived with full blood and full blood, it will start charging towards the real elite army.

From this perspective, each of those 8000 people is a treasure!
Every time one dies, Chen Sheng feels distressed.

From a strategic point of view, Tu Sui's army has fallen into this field. Even if they let go of them now, they will no longer be able to go north in a short time!
Whether it is to open up the channel connecting Sizhou for Taiping Road.

Or engulf him Chen Jun.

It's impossible!

From this perspective, Chen Sheng has achieved his goal of leading troops out of Chen County!

In this way, it is even more impossible for him to use his own soldiers and horses to block the guns of the imperial court!
His position as county governor was not given by the imperial court.

The reason why he doesn't let go now is that he is reluctant to do 99 steps, but let go at the last step of dividing the cake.

That's an army of [-] people.

That is clearly [-] young and strong, [-] leeks!

"Fan Gong, how many days are there enough food and grass in the county?"

Chen Sheng turned his head to look at Fan Zeng.

Fan Zenglue pondered for a while and reached: "It's enough for half a month!"

Originally it was more than this number.

It's a pity that in the past few days, the battles were too frequent, and Chen Sheng ordered to let go of the control of grain and fodder, and let the soldiers let go of eating and making, which cost a lot.

"Half a month?"

Chen Sheng recalled the change in the sacks around the waists of Tu Sui soldiers killed along the way, nodded and said, "Enough!"

Xiang Liang heard the meaning of his words and asked curiously: "The general's meaning, but besieged but not attacked?"

Chen Sheng nodded: "There are too many casualties in the rushing formation, let's wait for them to reveal their flaws on their own!"

He looked farther to the south of the Tu Sui army camp.

There, is where Mengcheng is.

Meng Tian garrison.

Ok?
My father is still in Meng Tian's army.

Let Meng Tian be the arrow target.

Isn't it a little bit suspicious?
Well, not a pit!
They have more than 2 people, and they have the advantage of the city!

Much stronger than him.

How can this be considered a pit?
Besides, there are no fathers and sons in the battlefield...

　Sir, please guarantee the monthly pass at the end of the month, alright~
