The devil is coming

Chapter 1008 The talent of the young generation!
it's night
The bonfire in the camp made a crackling sound from time to time;
Except for the soldiers responsible for internal and external patrols, the rest of the Qianguo sergeants were either resting, grooming their horses, or sharpening their swords.
Being able to prepare for war calmly and in an orderly manner before a war is what an elite soldier should be like.
At least, for Qian Jun, he really has a completely different look from himself more than ten years ago.
And in the handsome tent,
In front of Zhong Tianlang, stood a group of generals.
"Shuai Zhong, not only the Yan army from Anhai Town has come out, but also the Yan army from Donghai Town. The Yan people are planning to fight us for their lives."
"Yes, Commander Zhong, the Yan army in front of us is a direct descendant of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was brought out by the regent of the Yan Kingdom. He is indeed loyal at the moment. He knows that there is a tiger in front of him, but he still goes towards the tiger."
Zhong Tianlang tapped his forehead with his fingers and leaned back slightly.
In fact, it may be possible to kill a master with random punches in other industries, but it basically does not happen in military confrontations. Although there are similar examples in history, many times they are far-fetched.
The old master is the commander-in-chief. When faced with an unbelievable situation, he can choose to do nothing and just stop here to watch your performance. Or, you can do yours and I can do mine to see who is the most anxious in the end.
War, in general terms, is not a particularly complicated matter. After peeling off the cocoons, there are only two types left;
One is to attack the enemy in front of you when you have a relative advantage;
The second one is a complement to the first one, which is to work hard to gather your own advantages.
Zhong Tianlang is a disciple of a general, and he has a lot of experience both in tutoring and experience. Although he has doubts in his heart, he is far from messing around.
"What I don't understand is that if the Yan troops from these three towns plan to risk their lives to rush in to meet their prince, what should they do?
Penetrate us?
Even if they really penetrate us, how will they deal with the Wu family's navy's blockade on the Qianjiang River? It's impossible to cross the river upstream and downstream, right?
If we rush here, the day lilies will be cold.
still is……
Is it true, as you said, that they don't care at all just to be loyal to that person? "
Zhong Tianlang took a sip of tea,
"The Yan army from Anhai Town came out first, and the sentry cavalry came to report that they were heading towards our right army. The Yan army from Donghai Town was the last one, and they were heading towards our left army.
But the main force of the Yan army in these three towns stopped in front of us inexplicably.
He left the city first, then stopped, and even arched a little more in front of us.
I really don’t understand what this means.
What if he wants to contain our Chinese army so that he can gain more room for maneuver for his friendly forces on both wings?
But if he really had this goal, why not just stick to the city? Wouldn't the containment effect be greater, and he would be able to advance and retreat more freely?
We have to leave the city, give the city to us, and then turn around and come back...
What is the purpose of doing this?
I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have a guess in my mind. You may laugh when I tell you. "
"Please give me your instructions, Commander Zhong."
"Please let me know, Commander-in-Chief."
"That's why I feel that the Yan Army in these three towns may be...internal strife.
Due to internal strife, no one was convinced by the other, and in the end it became... in a simple sense, each one fought on its own. "
"..." Generals.
The generals of the Qian Kingdom in the commander's tent were silent for a moment.
They made this conclusion to their commander, which was somewhat...unacceptable.
Internal strife?Each one fights,
Shouldn't this be... something that happens when we do something to ourselves?
What's the matter, the Yan people are actually fighting among themselves?
Zhong Tianlang looked at the reactions of his generals, but he didn't feel angry, or even surprised.
Not counting the one a hundred years ago, in the past ten years or so, Ganren has been really frightened by the Yan people. What can really be counted is the great victory in Liangdi. But if we really want to calculate it carefully, that one After the great victory, the human regent took over directly to Beijing.
these years,
The status of the generals of the Qian Kingdom has been improved, the quality of the Qian army's armor has become better, the soldiers' swords have become sharper, and the military pay has become more abundant;
But the energy in my heart facing Yan Ren has never been brought up.
Once on the battlefield,
Seeing the Yan people's black dragon flag,
My momentum immediately weakened by three points.
If we see the royal flag of the regent of Yan State again, it will fall by two points in a row;
Therefore, facing the Yan army in eastern Shanxi, there was basically only five points of morale left in front of the formation.
But the more I look at them like this,
Zhong Tianlang felt more and more that he...should have guessed correctly.
"We are all human beings, and we are all Qiu Ba. Even, unlike the barbarians, we all speak the same words. Looking a little further, we are all from the same ancestor more than 800 years ago.
We can make mistakes, why can’t Yan people make them? "
Zhong Tianlang stood up from his handsome seat,
He reached out and nodded at the two generals:
"I order you to lead five thousand cavalry and turn back to the south!"
"The last will obey!"
"You, lead five thousand riders and turn back to the north."
"The last will obey!"
"The two armies on the left and right, I have already given orders to them to stay step by step and not to let loose...
Oh, come to think of it, they are so scared that they dare not underestimate the enemy.
It is estimated that they may be dozens of miles away from where I have planned.
However, this is fine, as long as they can hold steady and withstand the Yan people's offensive;
The two of you, take advantage of the situation and take it out from behind the Yan people, give it to me, and swallow up these two groups of Yan troops first! "
"The last general takes orders!"
"The last general takes orders!"
The two armies on the left and right each have more than 2 horses, and the two wings of the Yan people only have [-] horses. But Zhong Tianlang really does not dare to be overly optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Jiangnan local army.
Even if you have five times the number, you can still be swept away by the Yan people.
Therefore, he finally decided to send two troops to turn back and encircle him. Firstly, to appease the left and right armies, and secondly, since the meat was delivered to his door, he would eat it first.
immediately,
Zhong Tianlang gave another order,
"Give me the order. The army will press forward before dawn. I want to see if the Yan army in front of me dares to fight!"
This is what the general does,
In fact, each other is a gun drawn out on their respective fronts, providing strategic support for their respective wings.
After the discussion in the commander's tent was over, the generals received their commander's orders and retreated.
Zhong Tianlang sat alone on the handsome seat,
He was playing with a jade ring in his hand.
This ring was given by the late emperor when he married the princess.
At that time, his father had just died. Later, the life of his uncle stained the title of Marquis Andong of Yan.
In addition, the Western Army was moved north early, and all the family resources were empty.
It can be said that at that time, if the first emperor had not married the princess first and then continued to push for it, Zhong Tianlang, even if he was still in the army, would never have the dignity he has today.
However, even though the late emperor valued the support and protection of him so much, it was actually he who personally led the army to force him to abdicate, and even... force him to death.
"Late Emperor... you are disheartened."
Zhong Tianlang still remembered what the late emperor said on the mountain road in Houshan before the "removal of troops" that day.
"But we are not willing to give in. I am still capable of competing."
After Zhong Tianlang murmured to himself,
He smiled self-deprecatingly again,
"If the man named Zheng were to take my position, there would be 5000 troops on the opposite side. There would be no need for an army of [-] to hold him back. Even [-] would be enough to hold him back."
Zhong Tianlang didn't want to use the differences between his soldiers and horses to excuse himself.
He covered his face with his hands,
Let out a long sigh,
Road:
"Actually, I'm also afraid in my heart."
……
The two armies faced off against each other. Both sides were cavalry regiments. The sentry cavalry from both sides had fought together early on, and because the distance was too close, there were not many secrets between them.
"Looking at Qian Jun's posture, he is going to challenge me for a decisive battle tomorrow morning."
Chen Xianba looked at the bonfire in front of him. The firelight illuminated his face, flickering brightly and darkly.
When Zheng Man led his army to attack, he was angry;
But after Tiantian made the same choice, Chen Xianba lost the slightest anger in his heart.
It’s not because Tiantian’s identity is special...
Although everyone with a discerning eye knew it, even Zheng Man himself knew that although his adopted son had changed his surname, his status in the heart of the prince was definitely far lower than that of Tiantian.
Chen Xianba realized it clearly.
Zheng Man, that wolf cub, might really go crazy suddenly, but Tiantian would never...if what he got in his hands was really following the orders of his general.
That is to say...
Very likely,
What Tiantian and Zheng Man have in their hands is the same as their own...empty brocade bags.
After thinking about this clearly, Chen Xianba felt a mouthful of blood in his chest and almost spurted it out, but he held it back, even though his face turned red.
After all, he still didn't dare to disobey the prince's order even if he doubted it.
Even because of this empty kit, his current situation has become very...passive.
Originally, the combined troops and horses of his three towns amounted to more than [-], which was enough to compete with the Qian army. Although the Qian soldiers were more powerful and had a lot more cavalry this time, Chen Xianba was a qualified hunter. He believed that with his own ability, he could find an opportunity to take a big bite of the opponent's army.
But now, both of his wings have been lost, and he is blocked by the central army of Ganjun.
The strategic space was instantly compressed into an extremely embarrassing situation.
tomorrow,
Either I have to retreat a long way east,
or,
You have to bite the bullet and start a cavalry decisive battle with Ganren here.
Chen Xianba is not afraid of tough battles. On the contrary, he likes to fight challenging opponents, which will give him a greater sense of self-satisfaction.
But war is not a contest between rivers and lakes.
At present, Ganren's arrangements are very clear. The cavalry regiment led by the Prince Consort plus tens of thousands of Ganjun Jiangnan miscellaneous soldiers are straddling Jiangdong to block his troops.
Then calmly use superior elite troops to capture Jinghai City and deal with his own prince.
Even though he only had half of the enemy's troops under his command, Chen Xianba still dared to stand up and fight.
But after it's done...
I'm so exhausted,
What else can we use to continue to contain Ganjun, and what else can we use to respond to and support our own prince?
If you really want to trade your life for your life at this time, even if it's one for two, Ganren will have to wake up with a smile!
"General, tomorrow..." The deputy general began to ask about tomorrow's arrangements. At this time, it was time to make preparations. Whether to fight or withdraw, we had to make arrangements first.
Chen Xianba shook his head,
Looking at the bonfire in front of me, I added a piece of firewood to it.
immediately,
stand up,
Road:
"If we withdraw, then my two stupid brothers will be completely made dumplings by nearly [-] people.
Send the order,
Make meals in advance tomorrow morning.
Add bacon. "
……
Three flowers bloomed, one on top of the other.
Zheng Man was furious and led his troops westward.
It was impossible for him to rely on the troops under his command to directly collide with Ganren's central army. Instead, he bypassed Ganren's central army from the beginning and rushed to the rear.
Then, they encountered the right-wing army that was killing people.
The configuration of the Qianjun Jiangdong soldiers and horses is in the shape of a pin, with the two wings behind them being soldiers from Jiangnan County.
Due to the restrictions on the types of troops and the fact that they were facing the Jindong Army, their advancement speed was naturally getting slower and slower.
Fortunately, coach Zhong Tianlang did not want to rely on them to fight tough battles. Their existence is to broaden the width of the battlefield and provide two rear foundations for the Chinese army that can really fight tough battles.
In addition, if the battle is going smoothly, it can still be useful to instill morale in them.
But when the situation on the battlefield was not clear and he had not completely crippled the Yan army, Daqian Prince Consort did not dare to push them forward. If they were defeated at the first touch, it would shake the morale of his own army.
same,
His own family members know that his affairs are true, and as an opponent, Yan Jun also knows what kind of army is easy to fight.
Originally, Zheng Man planned to lead his soldiers and horses to attack the opponent first, not to rush into the formation, but to drive away and intimidate them, trying to compress the opponent and test their success a priori.
If he could scare them away, or if it was obvious that they were really careless, he could boldly make another detour, walk further south, look for a breakthrough to cross the river, and wait until he reached Jiangxi to go to Jinghai City to find his prince.
But the idea is very full, but the reality is even more skinny than the skinny woman Zheng Man has always disliked.
What is undisputed is that the Ganjun opposite is indeed a... very poor army.
But the problem is that they have a very clear self-awareness of themselves.
From the generals down to the ordinary soldiers, everyone felt that they were no match for the Yan people, so they strictly followed the military orders of the Prince Consort and underestimated the enemy and rushed in?
nonexistent!
Not only that, their progress was also slow;
In addition, Chen Xianba's initiative to retreat forced Zhong Tianlang to push out first, so the "pin" shape and the "mouth" at the front and back were stretched too long.
Moreover, these cadres marched slowly, but they knew the current affairs. This military stronghold was built...
Zheng Man personally observed before the formation that the opponent's military stronghold was not built in an orderly manner. In fact, some places were very unreasonable. Obviously this army did not have rich experience in fighting. If it was the Qianguo Old Western Army or other It is absolutely impossible for soldiers and horses in border towns to establish such a military stronghold;
But the problem is, people are dense enough and deep enough;
He was really willing to put in the effort to set up the fences and obstacles, and he was really willing to put in the effort to dig the trenches.
No wonder this army of cadres marches slowly. I'm afraid too much time is simply wasted on "step by step".
And with advance warning, regardless of whether it was a large force of the Yan Army or a partial division, it was a terrifying existence for them, so they had already tightened all alerts early.
However, it is this situation that is the most troublesome. They are so thorough that you have no chance to take advantage. If Zheng Man's army is strong enough and he has enough soldiers and horses, he can push down this military stronghold. The difficulty is not very high, but he doesn't have many soldiers under his command. If he forces himself to attack, he can only end up spreading pancakes. He pays a huge price and cannot achieve the desired effect.
The most important thing is that if there is no way to create a momentum of shock and let this group of county soldiers suffer some hardships and vent their frustration, Zheng Man believes that when he gets around it, this "shrinking" army will inevitably follow him and slowly come back. Decorate it.
In order to avoid the Wu family's navy, he had to go far upstream. When he reached a suitable ferry location, he had to make some preparations to cross the river. If he couldn't complete the "cutting" with this army, he would really be in trouble. It will become a situation where the tortoise is chasing the hare to death.
Zheng Man values ​​friendship over friendship, but he is not stupid. After all, he has worked for Zheng Fan for so many years, and he was also trained by Jin Shuke, so it is impossible for him to die in silence.
Death, at least it must be of some value, at least it must die in front of the adoptive father, so that the adoptive father can listen to it, right?
Without much hesitation,
Zheng Man gritted his teeth.
ordered:
"Give the order and go around the army in front of you."
"General, go around south?"
Zheng Man glared at him,
Road:
"No, northward!"
……
The sentry cavalry came to report that the Yan army withdrew.
The guard in the military stronghold breathed a sigh of relief;
In the middle of the night, another military report came from outside, saying that a large cavalry was approaching, and the general's heart was lifted again.
However, it was immediately discovered that they were the Prince Consort's army, and the generals burst into tears of joy.
After the general of the cavalry of this dry army arrived, he found that the Yan army did not attack his right army. He was slightly surprised, but after seeing the tightness and scale of the right army's military camp, he was not surprised. .
Anyone who is not a fool is probably not willing to rush into this kind of military formation.
"Send the order, the Yan army must have detoured southward, let's pursue it southward!"
……
A similar scene appeared on the other side at the same time.
The two Jiangnan County soldiers of Qianjun carried out the tactics from the heart to the extreme. After seeing this kind of military stronghold every day, they even felt that their hands were a little sore.
Just don't kill people... Just clearing these fences and trenches and walking through them will probably cost you half your life.
Tiantian looked back behind him and ordered:
"Go around south!"
Also not long after, the Qian army, which was originally sent to flank the Yan army, finally chose to continue chasing north.
……
The new generation of generals in the palace are almost dominated by Chen Xianba, Zheng Man and Tiantian.
One is Gen Zheng Miao Hong, who is undoubtedly the direct line of the direct line. Both of them have been raised since childhood. Even Chen Xianba, who was originally a wild "inbred", has long been raised as a poultry by the royal family with love.
The second is their extraordinary talents. After all, the talents of Chen Xianba and Tiantian were verified by prophecies.
they are young,
They are bold,
They are talented,
The Prince Regent once said eloquently to the blind man that he had two and a half champions under his command.
Even if Zheng Man is not suitable to be the head coach and take charge of the overall situation, it is absolutely no problem to be the general in charge and lead the army in a roundabout way.
Therefore, strictly speaking,
Zheng Fan's "empty tip bag" was actually a hindrance, causing chaos in the command system of the three towns at the beginning;
But these three young people,
Absolutely under the premise that his prince (father) is holding him back to dig a hole,
Relying on his extremely strong talent and acumen, he actually forcibly opened up a new situation.
The prince cannot understand this kind of thing.
Because the prince learned to fight step by step, cautiously and fearfully, even for several years after he left the army, he did not dare to personally try to command the war. Instead, he let Liang Cheng command him willingly to be a mascot.
People who like slow-cooking over low heat will tell them to restrain themselves when they look at the young men who cook the food over a high fire, but at the same time they will envy their vigor.
In the middle of the night,
Tiantian and Zheng Man have never met.
But somehow, after they galloped towards each other for a certain distance,
He made another decision almost tacitly,
To the east,
turn around,
Since we can't go west,
Then,
Check it out at home!
……
finally,
As the sun gradually rises;
Chen Xianba led more than 5000 soldiers and horses under his command to complete the formation.
On the opposite side, Zhong Tianlang also stepped onto his handsome chariot, preparing for a serious cavalry showdown between Yan and Qian.
Suddenly, we received reports from the southwest and northwest.
From those two directions, two groups of Yan troops suddenly appeared!
Zhong Tianlang only found it a little funny,
It’s funny because I was really embarrassed in the handsome tent yesterday.
Myself,
This is being peeled off like an onion by the other party.
Where is the slightest hint of so-called internal strife?
Yesterday, I allocated more than [-] people to ride out but did not return;
At the same time, the two groups of soldiers and horses in the rear were already moving slowly, but they were "scared" by the Yan people, which made it impossible to reach the designated position today.
Therefore, in a certain sense, Ganjun, who clearly had the advantage in strength, was forced out of a short window of "even strength" at this moment.
Zhong Tianlang didn't feel that the sky was falling.
At the same time, he sent an order to the Chinese army to spread out two wings to guard against the two rear lines.
Another team was ordered to relocate to Menhai Town to prepare for the worst case scenario.
Myself,
Then he got down from the handsome chariot, got on his horse, and raised his silver spear:
"Come, let's meet."
……
Chen Xianba also observed the changes in Qianjun’s military formation.
this moment,
He didn't even send sentries to find out, nor did he wait for messengers from other families to come over. Based on the changes in Ganjun alone, he could determine how the battlefield pattern had changed.
In the entire Jiangdong, the Yan army only has these three troops, what else can it have?
Just my two stupid brothers,
At the most appropriate time, come back with a killing blow!
Previously it was twenty-five thousand versus forty thousand,
I already have the advantage!
Now, it's twenty-five thousand versus thirty thousand,
Then why are you hesitating?
Do it!
Chen Xianba rode on the brave beast,
Lift the horse's shaft,
He urged his mount forward to reach the forefront of the military formation.
A similar scene happened in front of the other two groups of soldiers.
As if there is a connection between hearts,
Tiantian and Zheng Man each held their horses tall and stood in front of the entire army.
It's also strange,
The prince who hates rushing forward the most in a fight in this life,
But they have cultivated a group of young successors who will take the lead in every tough battle.
After brewing with each other for a while,
In an instant,
The horses' hooves are like thunder, their neighing breaks the dawn,
Yan and Qian’s respective most elite cavalry regiments,
In this land,
This kicked off the most hearty and thorough fight!
