Chapter 56 Preparing for the Night Battle
Seeing Shao Ling return to the formation and looking up to see that the sun was already heading west, Wang Xiaolie ordered the troops to retreat.
At the foot of Minggao Mountain, Wang Xiaolie was able to coordinate with Zhai Xing on the other side of the Yi River, attacking Yang Jin from both sides. Since he had fewer troops and was far less famous than the Zhai family army, Wang Xiaolie only restrained Yang Jin and did not use his full strength. Importantly,
Zhai Xing still has to fight the battle.
At this point, Zhai Cong could no longer press on and went out with Wang Xiaolie every day.
Returning to the barracks, before Wang Xiaolie took off his armor, he saw a fast horse rushing over. After entering the barracks, the knight turned over and dismounted in front of Wang Xiaolie. He crossed his hands and said: "Report to the state, the garrison in Ruzhou is causing rebellion, kill them."
Capture the guard general Yao Qi and burn, kill, and plunder the city!"
"What did you say?" Wang Xiao didn't believe his ears at all and looked at the knight and asked.
The knight said: "Yang Tiansong from the military academy gathered some idle people, killed the guard Yao Qi, and robbed Ruzhou!"
After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie was stunned for a moment, his head buzzing.
In this attack on Yang Jin, Wang Xiaolie thought about various possibilities, but never thought that someone would rebel. Ruzhou is such a big place, there are some people who are dissatisfied with themselves, but not too many. He has his own people.
Support, what can others do? I never expected that someone would actually turn against me.
Because they were close, Wang Xiaolie brought out most of his troops. The elite were used for the attack, and the weaker troops were used as backup. There were only two to three hundred people in the rear. There were more than a hundred people in Ruzhou and less than one in Ye County.
There are more than 100 troops in Lushan. There are almost no troops stationed in other counties.
After banging his head hard, Wang Xiaolie ordered his soldiers to immediately call the generals to his commander's tent.
The generals entered the tent, sang their promises loudly together, and took their seats.
Wang Xiaoxing said: "I just got the news that Yang Tiansong, the military academy in Ruzhou, rebelled! He killed the guard Yao Qi and looted the city. We were fighting to death on the front line, but there is no rear. How can such a thing happen in the world!"
After hearing this, it was like a pot was exploding down there. Everyone’s family members are still in Ruzhou, how can you rest assured?
Shao Ling said: "Zhizhou, this matter should not be taken lightly! We should send troops back immediately to put down the rebellion. As time goes by, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable!"
Wang Xiaolie nodded. After thinking for a while, he said: "Xie Linong, take five hundred soldiers and horses and return to Ruzhou immediately overnight! The elite soldiers under your command will be divided between Shao Ling and Niu Gao, and those in the rear who have not yet been integrated into each group will be sent.
People from the army! If the rebel army rebels, there won’t be many of them. The army left in Ruzhou only has 300 people. As long as the people don’t rebel, 500 soldiers and horses are enough!”
Xie Linong stood up and crossed his hands and said yes.
Wang Xiaolie said: "You don't have to listen to the rest. Go out and reorganize the army now! Remember, after arriving in Ruzhou, report the news immediately to appease the morale of the army. From now on, no matter where the rebel army flees, you will chase them. No one will be allowed."
Run! Send someone to report your army’s whereabouts every day!”
"Go!" After giving the order, Wang Xiaolie waved his hand.
Xie Linong sang his promise loudly, turned around and left the commander's tent. He received the military order and mobilized his troops.
Looking at the crowd, Wang Xiaolie said in a deep voice: "If the rear rebels, it will not be easy for us to fight here. Even if Xie Linong enters Ruzhou immediately, the morale of the soldiers below will be unstable. Although the soldiers' families are not in the city, they have no foundation.
, people's hearts are easily distracted. This battle cannot be dragged out, it must be fought as quickly as possible!"
Seeing that Wang Xiaolie looked extremely serious, the other people didn't dare to neglect him, so they all said yes.
Looking at everyone, Wang Xiaolie nodded slowly. These days, he has been looking forward and backward, a little too cautious. Of course, being cautious also has its benefits. There are not many casualties, and the main battle is left to Zhai Xing. But now, we can no longer do it.
This goes on.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Your troops should go back immediately and give orders to make food in advance. Tonight, we will fight to the death with Yang Jin!"
Everyone was shocked.
Shao Ling said: "Zhizhou, you have just withdrawn your troops, why are you going to fight again?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "We can't wait any longer. In the past few days, everyone has become aware of Yang Jin's military strength. To be honest, even without the Zhai family army, I believe we can defend Ruzhou. After fighting for so many days, we will not be able to defend Ruzhou."
We just understand that Yang Jin. Someone in Ruzhou is rebelling, and we can’t continue to waste time with Yang Jin here! In any case, Ruzhou is our fundamental place!”
Several people nodded. They knew that what Wang Xiaolie said made sense, but they all felt that it was too sudden.
Wang Xiaolie said: "What you think is sudden is the same for Yang Jin. The key to using troops is to surprise the enemy, and that's exactly what it is!"
After saying that, he ordered the soldiers to get the map near the battlefield that they had drawn in the past few days. The map was very rough and was just a diagram on paper. Fortunately, the mountains and rivers were clearly drawn, so it didn't look troublesome.
Pointing to the map, Wang Xiaolie explained their respective marching routes to Shao Ling, Cao Zhiyan, Yu Huan and Niu Gao. Wang Xiaolie had already planned these contents when he was idle. But they were not used on the real battlefield, too
Too rough.
After all the talk, half an hour had passed. The army's meal had been prepared, and several people were eating in the commander's tent.
After eating, everyone went back to prepare. Wang Xiaolie called Zhai Cong and said, "Something happened in Ruzhou, Yamen, and I can no longer waste time with Yang Jin here. Tonight, I have to make a break with him."
Zhai Cong was surprised: "If the governor says this, does he want to withdraw his troops?"
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "If I retreat now, won't it increase Yang Jin's morale? I want to attack Yang Jin again in the evening and fight him to the death at night! Yameni can cross the river immediately and tell Lieutenant Zhai to make preparations in advance!
"
Zhai Cong didn't react for a moment. After a while, he said in surprise: "Zhizhou wants to fight again today?"
Wang Xiaolie nodded and said nothing more.
Zhai Cong said: "Zhizhou is interested, how can I miss it? I will send someone across the river to inform my family. Knowing that Zhizhou will fight again, my uncle will be happy and will definitely lead troops across the river! The two armies attacked together, Yang Jin
How can it be worth it?”
It was certainly good to have Zhai Xing help, and Wang Xiaolie did not refuse.
Zhai Xing left, and Wang Xiaolie took a deep breath and sat back in his seat. Some things in this world are so wonderful. These days, Wang Xiaolie has been feeling that everything is not going well for him and he is a little irritable. I have you.
Wang Xiaolie felt that he had his own territory, his own army, and his own people. Wang Xiaolie's mentality changed. What he wanted to do was how to run his own base based on the knowledge from his previous life. Let the people support him and control the base area.
The landowners and local tycoons cleaned up the village, built a new village, and then developed the economy. All their thoughts were focused on this. However, although their planning was good, nothing went smoothly, and it was inevitable that they would be upset.
Now that Ruzhou has turned around, many things have suddenly been put aside. Yes, everything has just begun. Why do you have to think so much? How can you think so much? The most important thing now is to win the battle so that the people around you will not
Dare to look down on your own Ruzhou. Let all the strong men around you be afraid when you mention your name. If they are afraid, their territory will be stable.
Chapter completed!
