Chapter 231 Zhan Heyang
Even though Shu Ting said this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, they had never worked with Gao Ning, and they didn't know whether he was reliable. But at the moment, the two sisters could only wait, and it didn't take long for Gao Ning to sneak in from the outside.
Already.
"Why did you come?" Shu Ting couldn't help but asked when she saw this.
"Do you think it's so easy to do this?" Gao Ning quickly took a sip of wine as soon as he sat down, as if to calm himself down.
"Did you get the stuff?"
Gao Ning looked around cautiously and saw that no one was paying attention, so he took out a piece of silk from his arms and handed it to the Shu sisters.
The Shu sisters took it and unfolded it and saw that it was indeed the rebels' defense map in Hezhou. The positions of troops, generals, and supplies were all clearly marked on it. The Shu sisters had inquired a lot about the rebels in the past two days.
After checking the information, there is not much difference with this picture, which shows that Gao Ning's picture should be real.
"I copied this with great effort, you must keep it."
"Okay, you did a good job. When we go back and meet Shangfeng, we will definitely take credit for you." Shu Ting said as she put away the defense map.
"It's hard for me to turn back now. You must fulfill your promise and put in a good word for me to fight against the rebels. Otherwise, I will fight you to the death."
"Understood, we will not treat our own people badly." The Shu sisters said that they drank a few more drinks with Gao Ning, comforted him a few times, and gave special instructions when they parted.
"We sisters will go back to work now. A war is inevitable. Do you know what to do when the time comes?"
"I understand, but you'd better hurry up. Nights are long and there are many dreams, and things will change if you are too late."
"Don't worry, we are more anxious than you are."
In this way, the Shu sisters left Hezhou Starry Night and hurried back to the North Bank. This was the entire story of their infiltration. After speaking, the Shu sisters quickly took out the defense map that Gao Ning had stolen and handed it to Luo Tianbao. Everyone hurriedly
When I came over and took a look, I saw that the information about the rebels in Hezhou was clearly written on it. Luo Tianbao, Shen Hexi and others were all experts. When I saw this picture, I couldn't help but feel happy. With this, the rebel army could cross the river and fight decisively.
With more than a 10% chance of winning, and the so-called military strength and speed, Luo Tianbao didn't care that it was already dark, and after a few words of encouragement to the Shu sisters, he summoned Li Congyun and other senior generals for a meeting.
Everyone learned the ins and outs of the whole incident and looked at the defense plan. They were all excited. Even Li Congyun, who was originally not optimistic about the Shu sisters' trip, couldn't help being surprised.
"General Li, when do you think it is appropriate for us to send troops?" Luo Tianbao couldn't help but ask what Li Congyun meant.
"The sooner the better, otherwise the situation will be unfavorable to us if the river freezes. Now with this picture, I am confident that I can catch the opponent off guard." Li Congyun couldn't help but said excitedly while looking at this picture.
In this way, everyone planned overnight and finally formulated a detailed plan. Five days later, on a cold night, Luo Tianbao led 6,000 rebel troops to forcibly cross the river to attack Hezhou. Dayou's army never expected that the rebel army would dare to do this.
Braving the general disapproval of the world, and the fact that its defense situation had been mastered by the rebel army, it was caught off guard and retreated steadily. The originally most difficult landing operation allowed the rebel army to win easily.
Although he successfully crossed the river, Luo Tianbao understood that it was not time to be happy yet. The strength of Dayou Army in Hezhou was five or six times his own. Once the other party understood and concentrated its forces, his troops would still have no choice but to die.
Therefore, Luo Tianbao asked for help from Dongzhou's senior brother Xiahou Suiliang, hoping that he would send troops to contain some of Dayou's troops. At the same time, he stepped up his advance towards Shi Liwei's base camp Heyang, hoping to win it in one go. As long as Heyang was lost, Dayou would be destroyed.
The army will be completely divided in Hezhou, and then our own side can defeat them one by one.
However, things did not develop as smoothly as Luo Tianbao expected. Xiahou Suiliang agreed to send troops. However, due to various reasons, the troops advanced very slowly and did not play the role of Luo Tianbao's plan to contain the opponent's troops. Shi Liwei was worthy of Ningze.
The trusted general responded quickly to such a passive situation and quickly concentrated his troops on the Heyang front line to initially form a line of defense. This made Luo Tianbao very anxious. Once the opponent's deployment was completed, he would suffer a loss if he had few soldiers to fight head-on.
, Therefore, Luo Tianbao and Li Congyun discussed and finally decided to fight the Dayou Army in Heyang in advance. This decision actually involved a certain amount of gambling, but now they had no choice but to fight against the rebels.
The decisive battle began on an early winter morning, with heavy fog surrounding Heyang. The total strength of the rebel army participating in the battle was close to 4,000, while the Dayou Army had more than 10,000. It can be said that the rebel army was definitely at a disadvantage in terms of strength alone.
Luo Tianbao was nominally the commander of this battle, but the actual command was still carried out by Li Congyun. He was from the Dayou Army, so his fighting style was exactly the same as that of the opponent. The infantry in the middle was used to attract the enemy's main force, while the cavalry on the two wings was used to outflank the opponent's rear.
, this is also the classic style of play of the Dayou Army, which has been tried and tested by Ning Zeen when he went south to deal with the government troops.
However, Li Congyun also has his own worries. Although this tactic has been proven to be effective in practice, Shi Liwei and others also understand it, and the combat effectiveness of the rebel army is not as good as that of the Dayou Army, so Li Congyun is not sure whether this tactic can subdue the opponent.
.
The subsequent development of the battle seemed to confirm Li Congyun's worries. The rebel army was actually very qualified in executing tactics, but its equipment and experience were not as good as those of the Dayou army, so they were gradually suppressed by the opponent. These Luo Tianbao and others were in high positions.
He could see clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious for a moment. Luo Tianbao even had the idea of personally leading the guards to help in the battle.
"No, Sima, your safety is related to the future of the rebel army. How can you take risks easily? If you want to go, I will go too!" Li Congyun heard this and hurriedly dissuaded him.
"No, the command cannot be separated from you now, so I should go." Luo Tianbao and Li Congyun couldn't argue for a while.
"You two don't have to argue, it's better for me to go!" At this moment, someone suddenly said, and everyone turned around to see that it was Shen Hexi who was speaking.
When he saw her, Luo Tianbao couldn't help but feel excited. He knew that Shen Hexi was also a veteran of the Dayou Army. In terms of actual combat experience, he was even better than Li Congyun. It would be best if she was willing to die, but Luo Tianbao also had his own problems.
Worrying, Shen Hexi is a surrendered general after all. She is different from Li Congyun. The latter has made many military exploits since surrendering to fight against the rebels. She has gone through certain tests, but Shen Hexi has not. If she changes sides in the battle, her side will be completely doomed.
As soon as Shen Hexi saw Luo Tianbao's expression, he guessed what the other party was thinking about, and immediately said: "If Sima Xin doesn't succeed, just treat him as a subordinate and didn't say anything. But in that case, I'm afraid we will die without a burial place."
As soon as Shen Hexi said this, many people's expressions changed, including Li Congyun. I didn't expect that Shen Hexi would dare to speak like this in front of Luo Tianbao. He was simply arrogant. If he were a narrow-minded person, he would not punish Shen Hexi.
A scolding was inevitable, but Luo Tianbao didn't. He had been in contact with Shen Hexi for a while and knew that the other party had such a temper, otherwise she would not have been able to rise up in the Great You Army. Luo Tianbao understood that this was a test of his judgment and
