Chapter 735： Night attack!

Lu Zheng took advantage of the night to make a surprise attack on the Liaodong Army.

Because no matter the Northwest Army or the Liaodong Army, they have powerful scouts. Generally speaking, even if the enemy makes a surprise attack, they can never be silent.

But Lu Zheng managed to do it this time. The core point is that, first, Lu Zheng took advantage of the night and the Liaodong Army attacked the city for a day. At night, when it was the most exhausted, the recent scouts reported that Lu Zheng’s army had already captured. Yuzhou, at the same time, the army went all the way north to approach Bianzhou, and went to visit Cao Weiming's lair. Because of this, everyone is not very wary.

Second, the Liaodong Army is a cavalry. They are used to fighting with cavalry. They come and go like the wind, but they can’t hide invisible, because when the cavalry moves, the battle will inevitably be huge, and Yue Feng’s raid this time all uses infantry, and infantry uses long spear , Behind the spear is the archer, two kinds of infantry walking day and night, taking advantage of the night to kill silently, once the horn blows, the infantry launches a surprise attack, the power in the night must not be underestimated!

Tan Lei of the Liaodong Army was shocked and organized a counterattack at night, but Lu Zheng was prepared, he was defenseless, and the two of them made judgments. Lu Zheng quickly gained the upper hand, and then set fire to the night.

Tan Lei’s camp in Liaodong was originally a linoleum camp. This fire made Liaodong even more chaotic. Tan Lei had no choice but to retreat under the walls of the capital.

Above the city wall, there was the sound of bowstrings, but Song Wensong heard the movement outside, and had already organized archers to wait on him. As a result, Tan Lei was hit by both sides, and it was miserable!

After a surprise attack, a flanking attack on both sides, and a one-night battle, Tan Lei gave up the midday gate and led the cavalry to escape at the last moment. When the sky was clear, he found that tens of thousands of elite cavalry had been lost in this battle.

Tan Lei turned his horse around and rushed to Song Naifeng’s military account. He was in a terrible mood. He asked at the beginning: "The prince, I suffered such a fierce assault yesterday, why didn't the prince send troops to save me? Yesterday’s battle, I suffered heavy losses. , The Liaodong iron cavalry has suffered so much damage, I really have no face to return to my hometown to explain to my old folks in Liaodong!"

Song Naifeng slapped the table and said, "Lu Zheng, this thief is really cunning. Yesterday I heard that you were attacked. I thought it was Lu Zheng's deception. Because we have so many troops here, how could Lu Zheng make a silent attack? ?

But I didn't count that Lu Zheng actually used infantry to make a sudden move. He was bold and decisive, and he succeeded again! General Tan, I will bear all these faults. Don't worry, after this battle, as long as I can win, I promise not to let General Tan down! "

Song Naifeng cursed Lu Zheng, and at the same time deeply reflected on himself, Tan Lei gritted his teeth, and the anger in his heart disappeared. He said: "Now it is very difficult for us to fight. The capital of Song Wensong is extremely powerful. We have attacked for several days and have suffered countless casualties.

The key is that outside the capital, Lu Zheng's power is like a ghost, and no one knows when he will suddenly appear. They retreat with one blow, even after the infantry hides, it is difficult for us to find them! "

Chuan Shanyue said: "The **** child surnamed Lu is really deceiving. Since he has used infantry, I don’t believe that his infantry can retreat far. The big deal is that we will scout out and find their infantry, and then we will use cavalry. It swept. Song Wensong in the capital has no more than tens of thousands of horses. They can defend the city because once the city is broken, they will all die.

However, if we were to deal with Lu Zheng, Song Wensong might not have the courage to abandon the city and come out to respond. With this, wouldn't we be able to take the initiative? "

Song Naifeng frowned when Chuan Shanyue said, he had to say that he could naturally think of things that Chuan Shanyue could think of, but he never took the initiative to bring it up. He was worried that once he shifted his strategic focus to deal with Lu Zheng, the war might be possible. It's going to change again.

Song Naifeng likes to lay out his own set of methods in battle. Undoubtedly, his set of methods has been very successful so far, and the current thinking of Chuan Shanyue may cause him to be led by others. Honestly speaking, he feels like this. It's too bad...

However, in this situation, Lu Zheng was really worried, and Song Wensong's desperate effort also made Song Naifeng feel troubled. For the first time, he discovered that he knew too little about this son. This kid could really display all his potential in order to survive. From this point of view, Song Naifeng discovered that Song Wensong's personality was a bit like him!

Thinking of this, Song Naifeng couldn't help sighing again. It's a pity that Song Wensong has such a talent, but he ignored it at the beginning. If not, the current Song family is probably more than the strength of today!

"General Tan, Your Royal Highness, what do you think? Are we aiming at Lu Zheng in this battle?" Song Naifeng cast his eyes on Long Lingxiu and Tan Lei.

Long Lingxiu chuckled and said, "Chuanshan Mountain is worthy of being the number one fighter in the northwest, not only fierce, but also brilliant! I very much agree with Chuanshan Mountain's view. Our greatest enemy is Lu Zheng, who can severely damage Lu Zheng. At your fingertips!

Lu Zheng would not have expected that we would suddenly act on him at this moment. How far can his infantry go? Maybe it was in Gyeonggi at this time. We violently attacked him and inflicted heavy losses on him, letting him know that our Northwest Army and Liaodong Army should not be insulted! "

Song Naifeng said, "Well, we will act immediately. I will order all the cavalry to rush to the north of Tongzhou. In addition, the Liaodong Army quickly approached Yuzhou. He is in Yuzhou when he is not in Tongzhou. We will pull him out in these two places!"

Song Naifeng decisively gave up the siege and immediately turned his head to attack Lu Zheng. It has to be said that his change was incredible. In fact, the strategy he used was also Lu Zheng's method, which was a surprise attack.

And what about Lu Zheng at this time? This time he mobilized all his infantry for a surprise attack. What should he do after a successful attack? Retreat quickly?

Lu Zheng did not retreat, but was just outside the Meridian Gate, allowing the infantry to hide quickly. In fact, his art of hiding soldiers was in the capital, but he did not hide all of them. Instead, he quickly evacuated the five thousand infantry to Tongzhou.

The infantry had just made their way to Tongzhou, and the scout came to report, and Song Naifeng's army swept through Tongzhou. Lu Zheng and the boy met, and the boy said: "The son is a magical calculation. I didn't expect Song Naifeng and Tan Lei to be such a method. These five thousand brothers are probably in disaster!"

Lu Zheng sighed and said: "We are weak against the strong, so we can't have too many extravagant hopes. It is much more than expected that this battle can be fought to such an extent! I am ashamed of not being a soldier this time. Thousand brothers!"

Lu Zheng raised his hand and said: "According to me, I will order the cavalry from Yuzhou to move quickly westward. Our infantry from Gyeonggi will leave the hiding place tonight and march all the way to Yuzhou.

Tan Lei didn't have a memory after losing the battle. We had a fight with Tan Lei in the mountains and rivers two hundred miles west of Yuzhou! "

The boy's expression changed greatly and said: "My son, you are too risky! Once the war is anxious, Song Naifeng's iron cavalry is not a vegetarian. Once our strength is grasped by him, then..."

"I know that Song Naifeng is powerful, so do you think that after Song Naifeng fought in Tongzhou, he could not understand that he was fooled?

Can we hide it? I can't hide anymore. Since I can't hide, then we must turn passive into active. At the critical moment, there must not be any hesitation. A slight retreat may wipe out all the infantry of our Nanfu Army! "

Lu Zheng said decisively, he paused, and continued: "Don't worry, Song Wensong in the capital will not let us down! He was desperate, and now he has a glimmer of life, is he still defending the capital and waiting for help? As long as Song Wensong moves, Song Naifeng will be attracted immediately. When he comes back to his senses, it is estimated that this battle between us and Tan Lei will be able to fight indiscriminately.

Our Nanfu Army has fought so many tough battles and compared with the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, has it really made no progress? There is no such thing as a pie in the world. Our ego has to work hard for ourselves. At this point, it can only be so! "

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes. Since arriving in the North, he has fought from the Battle of Miaocheng to Gyeonggi, and now he is attacking in Yuzhou and Bianzhou. I have to say that he really racked his brains in order to win. Up.

It's a pity that the strength of the Nanfu Army was still too weak. Lu Zheng was struggling to fight, and being able to barely survive to this point was completely beyond his imagination.

Lu Zheng judged that it would be difficult for the war in the North to have a fundamental turnaround within three to five years, because the growth of the Nanfu Army will take time!

Three to five years are very long, or even too long. Judging from the current situation, Lu Zheng may not be able to survive. Jiangnan is unstable. Lu Zheng must now think about the issue of foothold. He must find a way to get ahead in the north. Based on this, only then can there be capital to go further.

"The key lies in this battle! If this battle is unsuccessful, you will become benevolent!" Lu Zheng said quietly. He did not expect that this time he would fight Song Naifeng, but it was a battle with Liaodong Iron Cavalry that determined whether he could gain a foothold. .

Tan Lei and Lu Zheng had fought against him. He was a fierce and cruel character. It would not be wise to fight against such a person head-on, but for Lu Zheng, he now has no retreat.

The battle is so cruel. In many cases, strength can determine everything. Without sufficient strength as a backing, even with the most powerful ingenuity and means, you may end up swallowing the bitter fruit of failure.

Now that the situation has reached this point, Lu Zheng has no room to retreat. He can only collide head-on with Tan Lei's Liaodong cavalry. This is a death fight without any fancy.

Of course, fortunately, the Nanfu army in Lu Zheng’s hands is no longer Amon. Over the past year or so, this army has fought many beautiful victories in the Southern and Northern Wars, and has also accumulated a lot of valuables. experience of. In addition, Lu Zheng's cavalry equipment is the best horse and equipment in the Northwest Army. This is even better than the Liaodong iron cavalry. This is the important confidence for Lu Zheng to fight for life!
