Chapter 417

It was a little bright. A group of embarrassed people ran through the farmland, directly went to the official road, got on the official road and continued to escape.

Sitting on horseback, Zhou Shouxian's face was blue. He looked at the people around him. He was exhausted.

Jin Wuguang, the leader of Zhenling courtyard, and Cao yu'er, the leader of Feihua Pavilion, also strained their faces, which were quite ugly.

After only a few days and nights, the war was completely disrupted and could not be commanded.

No one expected that the lower five counties would ignore the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people. Only most cavalry led by Yingyang Wulie Wei went straight to Zhou Shouxian. Tianyumen, Liuxian sect, Fuyun sect and Lingxiu mountain were accompanied by a large number of monks.

Knowing that the other side had so many monks, Zhou Shouxian could only retreat temporarily. However, the other side was almost full of cavalry, which forced him to order his troops to block him head-on. Zhou Shouxian led a small number of troops to retreat first.

On the way to the emergency retreat, he learned the bad news, and the 100000 people and horses intercepted were defeated.

The friars of Zhenling courtyard and Feihua Pavilion could not resist the joint attack of the four sects of Tianyu gate, causing a large number of deaths and injuries. It was really unstoppable, and the two surviving friars were forced to flee in all directions.

The four sects of tianyumen do not pursue and kill the friars of the two sects. They continue to follow Yingyang Wulie guard and cooperate with the army to pursue Zhou Shouxian.

At this time, Zhou Shouxian really regretted that his intestines were green. He regretted that he should not be in front of the army and hide behind the army. The elite of the enemy raided all the way, so he mobilized the layers of defense troops arranged at the front to turn back and rush for help. The enemy's follow-up men and horses took advantage of the weakness, burned, killed and looted all the way, and burned the baggage of the defense army all the way.

When he realized what was going on and understood the enemy's intention, it was too late!

As soon as the war began, hundreds of thousands of people and horses had almost enough food and grass. It's just a joke. How can we fight this war? Do you still use it in the back?

Then again, he was not prepared to fight with the enemy at the beginning, otherwise he would not hide behind the army. I don't think it's safer and easier to retreat behind the army. As a result, safety is safe, but he might as well let the enemy come. He has never seen such a way of playing. Hundreds of thousands of enemy people actually threw down their luggage and didn't even carry food and grass. So he worked hard. Who has seen hundreds of thousands of people fight without food and grass? This is simply playing with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

But facts have proved that this is not a child's play. Some people really dare to fight like this. Someone stabbed his weakness in one fell swoop against his defense, which made him Zhou Shouxian want to cry without tears!

The black faced Jin Wuguang and Cao Yuer also vaguely remember Zhou Shouxian's words before, saying that we don't seek victory this time. As long as we can stand in a stalemate with the enemy, we will win. The rest of your majesty will go to the three factions. The imperial court is powerful, and the three factions are also under pressure. It is impossible to consume the whole Yan country for a tianyumen who is unable to win Nanzhou. At that time, tianyumen will die.

At that time, they thought so, but now, just after the war, they completely messed up. Does this look like a stalemate?

A golden wing landed in the morning. Soon, a general came forward and reported to Zhou Shouxian: "my Lord, the spy reported that the enemy soldiers are trapped. They have stopped chasing and have stopped to rest."

Cao yu'er stroked his skirt, which was disturbed by the wind, and said to Zhou Shouxian, "the enemy is a distance away from us and can't catch up with us for a while. We are also tired. Let's have a rest."

Zhou Shouxian immediately asked the general, "how far is it from Dingzhou?"

"It's about eighty miles away," he said

Zhou Shouxian immediately said to the people's Congress, "it's going to Dingzhou. Brothers, hold on. It's safe when you get to Dingzhou. The rebels dare not enter Dingzhou."

So a group of tired people and horses continued to move forward, moving slowly, and arrived in Dingzhou in the evening.

Dingzhou has been fortified at the border. Learning that Zhou Shouxian is coming, Xue Xiao, the governor of Dingzhou, who is personally in charge of the border, hurried to meet him. The two assassins both jumped off their horses to meet.

Xue Xiao grabbed his arm and asked, "brother Zhou, why did you retreat to Dingzhou so soon?"

Zhou Shouxian was so ashamed that he didn't know how to answer.

Xue Xiao asked anxiously, "brother Zhou, where are the 200000 people I secretly support in Dingzhou?"

Zhou Shouxian looked back at his entourage and only brought back 3000 men and horses. Only 3000 cavalry of the Chinese guards followed, and they were all tired and embarrassed. He left the rest to stop the pursuers. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape.

Xue Xiao was shocked and said, "brother Zhou, it's only a few days and nights. 800000 people and horses. Won't you tell me that it's gone so soon? Even if it's 800000 pigs, the rebels haven't killed it so soon?"

Zhou Shouxian: "800000 people are basically still..." I don't know how to go on.

Xue Xiao was shocked again: "since the men and horses are still there, brother Zhou, as the commander, why did he leave the army and retreat to Dingzhou?"

Zhou Shouxian really didn't know how to explain. Judging from the various war reports received, most of the 800000 troops were still there. At least 600000 troops were still there, but they were all in disorder.

He ran away as a coach. The key is that he ran too fast. He couldn't imagine how much it would hurt the morale of his men and horses.

He ran so fast that the people and horses below couldn't catch up. He threw away food and grass. Now he is looking for food everywhere. There are rebels attacking him. Hundreds of thousands of people are scattered. I'm afraid it's difficult to assemble for a time

In a place close to mountains and rivers, in the rebel army's big account, military information from all over the country is constantly sent, and military orders are constantly issued.

Peng is waiting for tianyumen high-rise to watch mengshanming busy.

A general broke into the arch hand: "newspaper, Zhou Shouxian has retreated into Dingzhou."

Meng Shanming immediately looked back at the map, while Luo an quickly pushed his wheelchair to facilitate him to see the map.

Meng Shanming asked, "how's the rest of Yingyang Wulie Wei?"

Feng Lingbo said, "I was ordered to stop the pursuit. I've rested for a whole day."

Meng Shanming asked for the baton and pointed to the enemy troops who had gathered on a large scale and were retreating towards Dingzhou after obtaining food and grass from a city. "Order Yingyang Wulie Wei to go south and block the escaping people and horses." looking back at Peng Youzai, "the accompanying mage must concentrate on killing the enemy's main general. The enemy has 80000 people and horses. Can you do it?"

Peng nodded again. "It should be OK."

Meng Shanming: "don't tell me you should, I want a definite answer."

Peng hesitated again. So many people and horses posed a great threat to the friars. Moreover, there were many friars around the enemy general to protect him, but he finally bit his teeth, "OK, take it for Meng Shuai at all costs!"

Meng Shanming nodded and looked at Feng Lingbo again, "Yingyang Wulie guards feint. When the accompanying mage kills the enemy's main general, Yingyang Wulie guards immediately give up intercepting. If the enemy doesn't disperse after the enemy's main general dies, Yingyang Wulie guards will go around the rear of the enemy army and pursue all the way! Remember, only pursue and kill, don't attack, most of the 80000 people and horses can't run fast on two legs. Our cavalry have advantages and attack all the way to delay their marching speed They rest. "

The hand pole clicked on a position on the map, "at the same time, let Mei Linsheng gather people and horses to go north. After the people and horses of the headquarters arrive to intercept, they will form a siege and force them to land. If they don't land, they will be annihilated on the spot!"

"Zhou Shouxian has fled to Dingzhou. We can close the net in Nanzhou. He ordered some people and horses from all departments to guard the main roads in all places, forcing the enemy to scatter and have no way to go. He forced those scattered soldiers to go only on mountain roads or rugged places, consuming their morale and physical strength, making them exhausted and unable to assemble easily for the convenience of subsequent elimination."

"Order all departments to gather the main troops, besiege the city nearby, and order the enemy troops retreating to the city to surrender. If there is a place where Kaesong surrenders, the army will immediately enter the city to control and rest. If they refuse to surrender, they will encircle and not attack for the time being. The army will rest outside the city until the follow-up supplies arrive. After the soldiers have enough food and energy, they will concentrate on conquering them one by one. Don't attack at the same time, so as to avoid more attacks If the ground attack is not going well, it will be backfired. At this stage, we should fight steadily. "

"Yes!" after confirming that there were no other orders, Feng Lingbo quickly issued a military order.

Meng Shanming put down the baton and looked a little tired.

Peng immediately came forward with sincere greetings, "Meng Shuai, I haven't closed my eyes for another day and night. Do you want to have a rest first?"

Meng Shanming said, "as long as you act like this, it will be difficult for the flustered people left by Zhou Shouxian to assemble. After occupying the cities of the upper six counties, the general situation of Nanzhou has been settled, and I don't have to talk about the rest of the suppression." he raised his hand, Luo an pushed his wheelchair, and the emperor of the Shang Dynasty and others left with him.

Out of respect, a group of people all drilled out of their tents to send each other off.

Seeing the figure leaving from the wheelchair, Peng sighed again: "it's really a genius for strategizing on the battlefield. A generation of famous generals really deserve their reputation. It's a pity that Yanhuang Shang Jianxiong broke his arm. Otherwise, if this person is in hand, how can I have the chance of tianyumen."

He never dreamed that the so-called quick decision could be so fast. However, in a few days, Zhou Shouxian's 800000 army was broken, which made the general situation of Nanzhou firmly in the hand of tianyumen. As for Zhou Shouxian, he was not worried. He only took thousands of people and horses to Dingzhou, which was abandoned and could not turn the waves.

There was a pity in his sigh. This Meng Shuai had this ability, but tianyumen didn't have the chance to use him again. After taking Nanzhou, tianyumen won't start a war again, and its strength will not be allowed. It will take at least 50 years for tianyumen's strength to accumulate to another level. But at that time, even he may not live to that time, let alone this war After that, we can only dust the Pearl of this generation.

Feng Lingbo's expression was also complex. At first, he was still dissatisfied with Meng Shanming. However, after witnessing the other party's command and operation, he was really amazed and convinced. He found that the gap between himself and others was not a little big, it was a difference between heaven and earth.

Although people used to make random calls, there was a lot of rules and regulations in the chaos. There was evidence for the mobilization of people and horses. Each department paid attention to when to rest and when to rush in. Hundreds of thousands of people and horses were really free in people's hands. They confused and confused Zhou Shouxian's 800000 army.

He had to admit that if the same strategy was implemented by him, he could not achieve such command and implementation effect at all. It was difficult for Zhou Shouxian to throw so many people and horses down their luggage that they were led by the nose here. It was difficult for him to catch up with others' deep command skills.
