Chapter 561 Danyang Ambush
When Su Chen heard this, he couldn't help but smile a little. His fiancée was a weirdo. She aspired to be Mu Guiying of the Southern Tang Dynasty!
"Do you really want to follow me?"
Peng Jingjing said seriously: "Of course, first, I have to protect you. If I am not by your side and can't see you, I don't feel at ease! Second, we need to integrate theory with practice. Isn't this what you told me? You can't
It’s just a matter of paper, so I’ll go with you!”
Su Chen smiled lightly. Now Peng Jingjing has also learned to quibble and can say many reasons to refute.
"It seems I can't persuade you anymore."
"Hehe, wherever you go, I will go. The more dangerous it is, the more I have to follow you. You are my fiancé and my future husband, and I have to protect you!" Peng Jingjing's little mouth also became sweeter,
I understand some love stories.
Su Chen said: "Okay then, follow me and you must obey the command. I won't let you go into battle. Don't be reckless and act privately."
Peng Jingjing took his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not eager to make meritorious deeds, or kill people like crazy. I just see if it's necessary and follow your orders."
Su Chen nodded slightly. Now that the matter has come to this point, he can only allow her to follow him. Otherwise, it will be difficult to appease her.
"Let's sleep together tonight, holding you in my arms!"
Peng Jingjing's cheeks turned red when she heard this, but she did not object.
After all, the two of them haven't had sex yet. Even if they sleep with each other in their arms, they just kiss and take advantage of each other, and they won't take the last step.
After blowing out the candles, they lay down and fell asleep.
........
The next day, at the first hour of the fifth watch, the mobilized troops began to assemble.
They had received the notice last night and began to line up at this time. As soon as it got light, they started to set off, traveling lightly and moving forward at full speed.
Two thousand cavalry, two thousand archers, and one thousand soldiers, led by Ma Yan and Ma Chengcheng, marched toward Danyang in the northeast.
Su Chen and Peng Jingjing were also in the team. Su Chen was the supervisor and led 300 personal guards, led by Jing Hong.
The five thousand men and horses marched forward quickly without any delay. They did not set up camp or make food on the way. They only took a short break at noon. After eating dry food and water to replenish their strength, they continued to move forward. Finally, they arrived at a quarter o'clock in the afternoon.
Danyang area, the mountains beside the Danshui River.
The construction of Danyang began during the Warring States Period, when it was originally called Yunyang City. In the "Book of Mountains and Seas", there is a river called "Danshui", that is, Danjiang. Danyang was named based on the theory that "mountains and rivers are yin and yang, and the north of the water is yang".
Qin Shihuang unified the world and implemented the system of prefectures and counties. He changed Yunyang City to Yunyang County, which was soon renamed Qu'a County. In the early Tang Dynasty, Qu'a County was renamed Danyang County.
In the first year of Qianyuan of the Tang Dynasty (AD 758), the imperial court changed Danyang County to Runzhou, and Danyang County belonged to Runzhou.
Five thousand men and horses lurked in the hills and mountains north of Danshui. The archers occupied the favorable terrain in the mountains, the soldiers hid in the jungle, and the cavalry hid in the mountains behind.
"Supervisor, you are the number one scholar. You don't have to participate in the battle. You can just strategize from the rear." He Yan said it politely, but in fact he didn't dare to let Su Chen take danger!
Even if the ambush is successful, if Su Jianjun is injured or something unexpected happens, then Yanyan will feel that his life is in danger.
The victory of this ambush was far less important than Su Chen's safety. This was what Ma Yan, Ma Chengcheng and others had in mind.
Su Chen smiled slightly and said, "I understand, I will not personally join the battle unless it is absolutely necessary. Don't worry!"
Hey, Ma Chengcheng feels a lot more relieved now.
"Have you made your division of labor clear?"
Yanyan cupped his fists and replied: "The last general is responsible for commanding the archers, Duyuhou Ma Chengxin is responsible for the two thousand cavalry, and Duyuhou Dingyi is responsible for the one thousand soldiers. Listen to my orders and cooperate with the attack."
Su Chen asked: "Can the scouts sent out detect the progress of Wu Yue's soldiers?"
Ma Chengcheng replied: "The scouts have paid off. Wu Yue's vanguard troops are still seven or eight miles away from here and can arrive in half an hour."
Su Chen nodded and said: "The Dan River here is not very fast. Wu Yue soldiers did not prepare any boats. When they get here, they can only build rafts or cross the river from the gentle river. Some places are just up to the waist. It is just right to set up an ambush here."
.”
"I hope it will come true!" Mon Yan and others were a little nervous.
If we can't ambush the Wu and Yue soldiers on the only way they must pass, and if they miss, then these 5,000 troops will be exposed and be counterattacked by the opponent's 10,000 vanguard troops, and a big change will occur.
"Everyone does his job and prepares for an ambush."
After Su Chen finished speaking, the generals were ordered to retreat.
Peng Jingjing looked around, checking the terrain, and also considering whether there was a chance to take action.
There were many people with mixed eyes, but Peng Jingjing did not take the initiative to speak. She asked Su Chen questions regardless of her status, and she became more and more aware of the appropriateness.
........
Half an hour later, the vanguard of Wu Yue soldiers arrived at the Danshui River.
The flags were fluttering, and a huge team of ten thousand people lined up like a long snake, arriving at the river beach.
The vanguard general who led the army, named Bao Zhi, led four Du Yuhou and 10,000 troops as the vanguard, responsible for opening the road and approaching Runzhou.
"Where is the front?"
A Dutou said: "Back to General Bao, the Danshui River is ahead. There is a shoal and the current is not large. You can cross the river. However, some food, grass, materials, and vehicles need to be carried on rafts to cross the river."
Bao Zhi asked: "Why not take the official bridge?"
Zhang Yong, the Marquis of Yu of Wuyue, replied, "The people in Runzhou were worried about our army crossing the river, so the local defenders destroyed the rope bridge across the river a few days in advance. If our army wanted to cross, we had to either stop and rebuild the bridge, or first
Cross the river, then capture some local Danyang people and come over to build the bridge."
Bao Zhi thought for a while and said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. We can't waste time here. As a vanguard army, if we arrive in Runzhou quickly, we will make the Tang army in Runzhou afraid and unable to make more deployments. We can also control Runzhou City as soon as possible."
The people in other towns and villages provide us with food, grass and coolies so that we don’t arrive too late and have to clear the country from the strong wall, which won’t bring much benefit to us!”
"What General Bao said makes sense, let's cross the river as soon as possible!"
"Okay, cross the river in batches!" Bao Zhi ordered.
"Here!" Several Du Yuhou led their troops and began to cross the river.
Some Wuyue soldiers were cutting pillars and wood, making rafts, placing food and weapons, etc., to transport them across the river.
In a moment, half of the Wu and Yue vanguard troops had crossed the river and were landing on the river beach one after another. Su Chen finally ordered an ambush.
"Swish, swish, swish -" Two thousand bows and arrows shot out from the string, vibrating through the air, and sparks of carbide pierced the air.
These arrows were aimed at the Wuyue soldiers who had just landed ashore and were still repairing. Without any preparation, they faced a sudden rain of arrows, and many of them were shot.
Puff puff puff!
