Outside the city of Binzhou, there was a sudden heavy rain today. There has never been such an extreme weather in the northwest. The heavy rain is extremely unfavorable for the defending party, because the city walls of Binzhou are mostly rammed with clay. Under the heavy rain, it was thrown by a catapult. The huge stone slammed on the city wall, and the city walls in many places could not bear such a large force. As a result, the city wall collapsed and the city defense of the state became more and more tense.
This time Lu Zheng personally led the army to send troops to the state. The two generals who accompanied him were Xiao Ran and Kuang Zi. These two men had grown from ordinary captains in the Nanfu Army to generals of the same party, and they each led two generals. Ten thousand horses guarded Lu Zheng, and the two of them fought to the death from the beginning of the Battle of Binzhou, so the battle situation was exceptionally tragic.
Although Chuanshan Mountain, the defender of Bingzhou, is inferior to Lu Zheng in resourcefulness, and he has repeatedly defeated Lu Zheng, but the courage of the defender is comparable to Song Wensong. This time Chuan Mountain vowed to coexist and die with Bingzhou. From the beginning of the battle, the mountains and mountains took out all the skills, the offensive and defensive sides have accumulated enough strength, Lu Zheng attacked and blocked the state!
"War indeed has its inevitable laws, and any opportunistic tricks have to pay a price. The Northwest Army and the Liaodong Army's fight this time is only related to the growth and decline of the forces of both sides, but in fact this matter is related to the world. The overall situation, the eyes of the whole world are now focused on our Liaodong, it is really lively!" Lu Zheng said lightly, he suddenly stood up and said:
"Can we win Binzhou?"
Xiao Ran said with a look of ashamedness: "The prince, there are not a few defenders in the mountains and mountains of Zhouchuan. This time, if the prince can come as best as possible, we will take Bingzhou and be sure that it will be bigger. Now... there is really no need for Yanmen Pass. Sixty thousand guards!"
Lu Zheng led an army of 100,000 and left more than 60,000 at Yanmen Pass. Therefore, this time the siege army was actually no more than 40,000 horses, and the defenders in the city also had almost 40,000 horses. Therefore, the power of the siege party has no absolute advantage. , It is too difficult to break through the opponent's city.
Although Chuanshanyue flees all the way to the west, the fright is still uncertain, although Lu Zheng expected that Song Naifeng would not personally guard in Bingzhou, and that the guards in the city would not be too strong, but the natural law of war is the iron law. The law of war in the cold weapon era is sometimes It's hard to surpass!
The battle situation was anxious, and Longyou was also very nervous at this time, but compared to Song Naifeng’s unmatched whip, Lu Zheng had to calm down a lot. Even though the overall situation of the world is changing, it will never leave its origin. Lu Zheng's grasp of the entire battle situation is After taking down Yanmen Pass, he actually had the absolute initiative.
Xiao Ran had a suggestion, but Kuang Zi would be more direct, he said: "Master, I am a rough person, I don't understand those twists and turns. That's it. Now we can't hold it in Binzhou, and Huangzhou may fall at any time. Once Huangzhou falls, Qin Yesi’s army will come from behind. How can we ensure that we can advance and retreat freely by relying on the pass at Yanmen Pass?
At this time, we should break the boat and let General Liusong lead the entire army with rapid reinforcements, and we will take Bingzhou down in one go. In this way, the world will be flat, and our soldiers will be able to advance and retreat freely! "
Lu Zheng laughed loudly and suddenly started saying: "Kuangzi, Kuangzi, you are still a vulgar person! I listen to your analysis like this. It is reasonable and reasonable, and it is almost irrefutable. Is this what a vulgar person can say? "
When Lu Zheng said this, Kuangzi was a little embarrassed. His appearance was so rough and shy that it made people look very awkward. He said, "Master, you can see it like this. It's a different thing to want to come to the prince. There are other plans!"
Xiao Ran said: "My lord, at this point today, I am really anxious to wait, prince, when things have reached this point, you should go on your next move!"
Lu Zheng sat down, looked back at the boy, and said, "How many days has Huangzhou guarded?"
The boy said: "Return to the son, Huangzhou has been guarding for ten days, and the city defense is in danger. Qin Yesi's army has surrounded Huangzhou in iron buckets. If this continues, the city defense of Huangzhou cannot be sustained..."
Lu Zheng said: "Give Liu Song an order to let Liu Song lead his cavalry to raid Huangzhou. He must travel at night, and then dared to attack suddenly at dawn. Remember, the northwest cavalry cannot be underestimated. If it were not for the raid, we would have to suffer heavy losses. Also, once you attack, you can't back down, bite your opponents desperately, and absolutely can't give them a chance to breathe!"
When Lu Zheng said such words, the audience was shocked, especially Xiao Ran and Kuang Zi. They looked at me and I looked at you, looking at each other. Obviously they were very surprised.
Dare to love Liu Song's army is actually not at Yanmen Pass, but has been hiding in secret to the west of Huangzhou. They are always waiting for the opportunity to raid the Northwest Army that is attacking the city!
Qin Yesi besieged Huangzhou for ten days, and his heart must have been hairy. Under such circumstances, his initial warning must have been lost, and his entire mind was put in the battle of siege. Under such circumstances, Lu Zheng suddenly attacked, and Liu Song's army would surely succeed with a single blow!
There are two key elements in cavalry operations. The first element is the order of the battlefield, and the second element is the smooth communication. The army opens and closes, Lu Zheng suddenly attacks, and Qin Yesi's army may even attack the city. Too late to start, this is Lu Zheng's first plan.
The second calculation is that Qin Yesi is now besieging Huangzhou City, relying on Huangzhou City as the center, surrounded by siege soldiers. Under such circumstances, their communication is absolutely impossible to guarantee. Lu Zheng asked Liu Song to concentrate his superior forces to attack, attack from one side, and then quickly encroach on the surrounding area. This kind of attack was to destroy the Northwest Army. With this battle, the Northwest Army will inevitably encounter a major blow.
Lu Zheng talked about the strategy of using troops. Xiao Ran and Kuangzi admired them. They realized that from the beginning, Lu Zheng had no intention of attacking the merged state with troops, and then sent troops to the Central Plains or threatened Longyou.
Lu Zheng took the Yanmen Pass, and then quickly marched into Bingzhou, causing Song Naifeng and Chuanshan Mountain to make wrong judgments, thinking that Lu Zheng would work hard to move the army from Liaodong to Central Plains!
In fact, Lu Zheng’s plan to abandon Liaodong was a fictitious reality. If Song Naifeng was really determined to want Liaodong, Lu Zheng would simply abandon Shengjing and give up Liaodong and take the Central Plains. But when Lu Zheng captured Yanmen Pass, the situation had completely changed. , Lu Zheng can naturally change his strategy, take back the abandoned Liaodong, and wait for the opportunity to teach the Northwest Army a huge lesson!
It is no exaggeration to say that if there were no decisive abandonment by Lu Zheng, there would be no such tactics. Such tactics are actually not uncommon, because in the world where Lu Zheng lives, there will be no one city or one place. Military thinking of gains and losses.
Regardless of the gains and losses of one city and one place, strategically despising the enemy, tactically focusing on the enemy, concentrating superior forces to defeat the enemy, and so on. These are all well known to Lu Zheng, and they are used very cleverly in this battle between the two sides. Among them, imagine that Song Naifeng is powerful, but Lu Zheng is standing on the shoulders of giants. With such a confrontation between the two, even Song Naifeng may not be able to take advantage!
Song Naifeng was overconfident in Liaodong's use of troops. He thought he was familiar with Liaodong. For him, Liaodong was the home field. He despised Lu Zheng's possible counterattack, so the Liaodong army was a proud soldier from the beginning.
Lu Zheng knows himself and the enemy, and uses his intelligence expertise to continuously search for plans for the Northwest Army to send troops. The war has not yet begun, and Lu Zheng already has a good grasp of the Northwest Army's formation. On the contrary, Song Naifeng had no idea about Lu Zheng’s intentions. After the 30,000 horses in the mountains of Sichuan were lured into the valley east of Huangzhou and were destroyed by the group, when Lu Zheng came to Yanmen Pass, Song Naifeng knew that Lu Zheng was out of Liaodong. The soldiers wanted to go out of Yanmen Pass.
At that time, Song Naifeng was still optimistic, because he felt that Yanmen Pass was inexhaustible. As long as Yanmen Pass was held, and then Qin Yesi's army attacked Huangzhou, the Northwest Army used troops from both sides to force Lu Zheng into a decisive battle.
In fact, if Song Naifeng really defended Yanmen Pass, Occupation might not be as optimistic as he thought, because Lu Zheng also had a strategy to attack Yanmen Pass. It was false to attack Yanmen Pass, and to fight against Yanmen Pass was true. Song Naifeng was in Yanmen Pass, Song Naifeng was in danger, Qin Ye How can the heir not save it?
Qin Yesi switched from the hinterland of Liaodong to Huangzhou. Huangzhou Song Wensong was the first hurdle he needed to pass. Lu Zheng only needed to hide his main force near Huangzhou. Just like now, Huangzhou City could not be captured for a long time. Qin Yesi When he was impetuous and wanted to do his best, Lu Zheng could do his best to make a surprise attack on Qin Yesi’s army. This time Qin Yesi suffered heavy losses, and Lu Zheng then used all the troops of Liaodong to attack Yanmen Pass. Song Naifeng lost his internal response, and Yanmen Pass simply couldn't hold it.
As long as Song Naifeng withdrew from Yanmen Pass, his use of troops against Liaodong would be a complete failure this time, and Lu Zheng completely reversed the situation through this big victory, and the situation in the world was restored to balance.
Lu Zheng's strategy had already been planned, and the reality was further than what Lu Zheng thought. The key is that at Yanmen Pass, Song Naifeng didn't dare to defend, so Lu Zheng took the pass with a little effort.
Lu Zheng's victory over Yanmen Pass is equivalent to completely cutting off the connection between the northwest and Liaodong, making Qin Yesi's 100,000 army a turtle in the urn. Lu Zheng will not leave the Central Plains easily anyway, because no matter how large the territory is, it is not as good as destroying the enemy. The vitality is important. Just looking for a chance to wipe out Qin Yesi's 100,000 horses, Song Naifeng suffered a severe damage that was almost unbearable. Suffering such a severe damage, Song Naifeng's revival might not happen overnight.
The Northwest Army is very powerful, and they are all cavalry. The characteristics of the cavalry are that they come and go like wind. Liaodong and Ma Pingchuan are their natural battlefields.
What is even more terrifying is such a large cavalry. Once they looted in Liaodong, the people of Liaodong were afraid to use Wuning Day, and with such a force, Lu Zheng really wanted to grab them. The two sides confronted directly, and Lu Zheng might not be able to occupy it. Upper hand.
So Lu Zheng’s idea of catching turtles in the urn is good, but if the scheme is not well-conceived and the calculations are inappropriate, it may become that the turtles have not been caught, and instead a good net will be ruined.
Therefore, the focus of Lu Zheng’s strategy for catching turtles is Huangzhou. He used Song Wensong to let him guard Huangzhou, which is to fancy Song Wensong’s fighting power in the world. There must be no fewer soldiers to guard Huangzhou, and too few soldiers are not enough to confuse opponents and enemy. There can’t be too many soldiers to defend Huangzhou, because if there are too many soldiers, opponents may give up attacking Huangzhou and play hide-and-seek with Lu Zheng on the periphery. Now Song Wensong in Huangzhou is defending for ten days, and Qin Yesi cannot make merit for ten days. At this step, both sides were stunned. This just made Lu Zheng find a fighter. At this time, the troops were dispatched and the fire was just right. With this battle, the overall situation in Liaodong's battle could be determined!
Lu Zheng dispatched troops, the battle situation on Huangzhou side was pushed forward quickly, and on the Bingzhou side, Lu Zheng ordered to retreat quickly, and the state was unable to attack, so he quickly retreated to Yanmen Pass, guarded Yanmen Pass, and Qin Yesi's last escape route. Stop it, that's the real catching turtle in the urn!
...
The weather in Longyou turned cold, a heavy snow fell, and the sky was white and the sky was freezing cold.
Longyou was cold, and Liaodong was definitely not much stronger. Outside the Yin'an Hall of the Wangfu, Song Naifeng was walking on the snow with his hands on his back. His inner anxiety was beyond words. The civil and military officials behind him, one by one, It was also sweating on his forehead, which looked particularly abrupt under this icy and snowy landscape.
"You don't need to be impatient. According to the latest battle report, the guards of Huangzhou are at the end of the battle. General Qin issued a military order and will surely conquer Huangzhou within three days! In addition, on the side of Bingzhou, Chuanshanyue clearly stated in the newspaper that the city of Bingzhou is solid. Although Lu Zheng led an army to attack the city, he fought hard for many days to no avail.
And he also said that Lu Zheng's Nanfu Army was not good at attacking cities, and their siege equipment was insufficient. Chuanshanyue promised that within ten days, it would be worry-free! "
The civil servants behind him kept reporting the most urgent military situation. From the perspective of military situation, it was all good news, but Song Naifeng was still anxious. He had fought for a lifetime and fought a lifetime war. At a critical moment, his keenness was definitely not. Ordinary people can compare.
The news from three days in a row was good news, and Song Naifeng became more and more absolutely wrong, because he found that when he personally fought, he had accidents every day, Chuanshan Mountain was accidentally wiped out, Yanmen Pass was accidentally lost, and Zhoucheng was unexpectedly difficult to defend.
It's better now. Song Naifeng left the battlefield and returned to Longyou. The situation on the battlefield is very good. This is definitely not true!
"It's definitely not that simple, it's definitely not simple! Let Chuanshan Yue be careless, and Qin Yesi must ensure that Huangzhou is captured at the maximum speed. Only by winning Huangzhou can the battle be stabilized!" Song Naifeng said.
"Father, don’t worry, I have added another 20,000 new troops to Chuanshan Mountain. In addition, the grain and grass transported to Bingzhou has already set off, and it will be there within a few days. The defense of the city is solid, and we have secrets. The method of transporting grain, let alone defending such a strong city for ten days, I am afraid that Lu Zheng will not be able to take it down in a month!" Song Wenjie strode forward and walked behind his father and said in a low voice.
Song Naifeng said "Hey" without answering his words. He moved faster. Song Naifeng went to the Military Aircraft Department. This was the first stop for military sentiment. Obviously Song Naifeng paid special attention to the military situation on the front line. The news from the land has reached the point of eagerness.
Many people followed. When they arrived at the military plane, the small place was too crowded. The officer in charge of the military plane was sweating profusely. He knelt in front of Song Naifeng and was so nervous that he was suffocating. He didn't know what to do. The prince reports the current military situation...
