Chapter 1580: Anti-kill
The short and stubborn deputy general Guo Yi walked in, dragged a chair and sat directly opposite Sun Chenglong, and placed the latest military newspaper he had just received in front of him.
"Brother Sun, Runze is fighting too hard." He seemed a little worried. "There are more than 10,000 troops, and now there are less than 5,000 people left. Runze actually went into battle himself, and he was killed by dozens of people."
Sun Chenglong's expression did not change at all. He looked up at Guo Yi, "As a commander general, he faced with a strong enemy. Just like that, is there anything wrong?"
Guo Yi laughed, "That's your son, not my son."
"Your son has already died in the battlefield." Sun Chenglong said lightly: "The sons of countless people from the Great Chu have died in the battlefield. Why can't Sun Runze die in the battlefield? This is the duty of a general."
Hearing Sun Chenglong's words, Guo Yi's already straight back collapsed instantly, and his expression seemed a little eroded. After a while, he smiled bitterly: "I just hope that these heroes who died in battle will die meaningfully."
"Brother Guo, you think this way is wrong. Is it meaningless? It is not something that can be judged now. It can only be left to history books for evaluation. What we need to do now is to do our best." Sun Chenglong stood up and said with a serious expression: "It's fine if you say these words to me, and you must not reveal a single bit in front of other people."
"Of course." Guo Yi nodded and said, "I am a long-time general, can't tell the priority? In fact, you can tell Runze your real plan, so that he doesn't have to pounce on him desperately, knowing that it's a moth to the fire like now. I'm really worried."
Sun Chenglong shook his head: "Whether it is Suqian or Jiangshangyan, which one is not a famous general of war, how easy is it to deceive them? I can't bear to let my child trap the wolf. I just want to give up my child and trap these two hungry wolves. It is precisely because Runze doesn't know that he can do everything he wants like now. Only in this way can people like Suqian Jiangshangyan no longer have any suspicion and be beneficial to the development of our next plan."
"But have you ever thought about it? Runze fought so hard, but we have never sent reinforcements to him. Wouldn't they be suspicious?" Guo Yi knocked on the table, "It's too much, too much, too much!"
"The reinforcements are already on the way to set off." Sun Chenglong Yang Yang's hand, "How about the 50,000 troops?"
"You should have sent them on the road earlier. Now Runze's troops have been disabled. If I were Suqian, I would launch a counterattack at this time." Guo Yi sighed: "Suqian has nearly 20,000 troops and nearly 10,000 cavalrymen from Jiang Shangyan. Now they have the ability to defeat Runze's camp. Runze will never escape, he will definitely fight to the end."
"If you can't hold on to the last moment, it's his life and mine." Sun Chenglong said in a low voice, "There's nothing to complain about. I sent him there and gave him the order not to take a step back, and I was ready to accept such an ending."
Guo Yi punched the big case with a heavy punch, and a loud bang: "If Runze had a few shorts, I would kill Suqian and Jiang Shangyan and others."
Sun Chenglong laughed: "No matter whether Runze is a problem or not, we planned this way. The Ming army is powerful, but it is also arrogant. If we can annihilate all the two troops, Suqian and Jiangshangyan, I dare not say to turn the situation around. At least we can greatly delay the attack of the Qinfeng middle army and drag them firmly to Xiangzhou, so that the court will have the strength to deal with the other two Ming troops. Brother Guo, we can indeed not win this battle, but we can turn the war into a mess, forcing the Ming army to pay a heavy price. When the price reaches a certain level, Qin Feng has to think about the consequences. So in order to achieve this goal, we don't have to worry about the consequences in this battle, because if we take a step back, there will be nothing. Behind it is a cliff, and we have no choice but to retreat."
"There is about five days left between Qin Feng's main force and Suqian and Jiang Shangyan's forward." Guo Yi stood up and walked to the window, pushed open the window suddenly, and said sternly: "Five days are enough. Brother Sun, I'll go now."
"Be careful. Come back alive." Sun Chenglong nodded.
Guo Yi smiled: "Suqian, Jiang Shangyan's main force is in Gaoliang Hebei. The number of troops left on the south bank is limited, and more of them are wounded soldiers. What danger can I have? Don't worry! I burned their food and grass and cut off their retreat. It's your side, but there are tough battles to fight. Once the retreat is cut off, these two hungry wolves may be even more fierce."
"I'm not afraid of death." Sun Chenglong laughed and said, "Even if all the 50,000 troops died, I still have 100,000 people in Xiangzhou to call, but the significance of annihilation of the 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry of Suqian and Jiangshangyan is great. I want to see if Qin Feng is still so confident in destroying our Chu State in the face of such a war."
"If we can really change troops with Ming people like this, it would be a good deal. Our left and right sides are almost becoming a beggar, so we are not afraid of becoming poorer." Guo Yi turned around with a smile and walked out the door.
The drizzling spring rain soon drenched his whole body.
There is a tributary called Guaizi River by the locals, about fifty miles away from the upper reaches of Gaoliang River, which is called Guaizi River by the locals. There is no river water now. Most of the riverbed is exposed, and only more than ten meters of river water flows quietly. The cavalry scouts of Jiangshangyan had arrived at this place, but they patrolled along the Gaoliang River and did not pay much attention to this small Guaizi River. Because there are too many such tributaries on the Gaoliang River. Later, Sun Runze launched fierce counterattacks again and again on the Suqian position, and the cavalry of Jiangshangyan also joined the battle, and the patrolling cavalry never reached such a distance again.
The reason why Guaizi River has such a name is that after extending dozens of miles to the mainland of Xiangzhou, it suddenly turned a big bend. At this corner, an earth dam was standing in the middle of the river, blocking all the river water, leaving only a small gap, which was still pouring downwards with a small river water, trying hard to ensure that Guaizi River continued to flow.
The rain fell for several days, and the river water downstream of the earth dam had risen without notice. Above the earth dam, the water of the Guaizi River was about to reach the top of the dam.
If Suqian and Jiang Shangyan discovered the secret here at this time, they would be shocked, because not only the water of Guaizi River, but also the fear of being that in the river water on the dam, there are countless huge logs floating densely, almost at a glance.
A general of the Chu army was squatting on the top of the dam at this time, looking at the river water that was about to spread, with a sad face. If he did not launch an attack, this simple earth dam would definitely not be able to hold on. The rain in the past two days has already made the resistance of this earth dam reach the extreme.
"How long can I last?" he asked at an old man beside him, who was also covered in mud with sorrow.
"If the rain continues to fall, it will spread to the dam tomorrow at the latest, and it will never be stopped by then." The old man said. "General, when will it start?"
"It should be soon, it should be these two days." The general murmured.
In the wind and rain, a sudden sound of horse hooves came, and the general's face suddenly showed joy, and he took big steps toward the direction where the sound of horse hooves came.
"The general has an order. The dam will be broken at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." The cavalry immediately turned over and dismounted, handed an arrow to the general, and said.
Several miles upstream of Guaizi River, soldiers waved their hoes, dug out the soft sand on the ground, dug out the small boats from the sand, and looked up to the riverside. One small boat after another was tied tightly with thick iron chains and hemp ropes, one after another, extending towards the opposite shore.
Pieces of wooden boards were laid on the boat, and a floating bridge was taking shape with the sound of hammers knocking.
On the shore, Guo Yi led his war horse and looked coldly at the not far downstream. It was still calm now, but when it was about to be seized tomorrow, the quiet Guaizi River would roar, and countless giant trees would destroy all the trestles built on Gaoliang River along the surging river.
A cruel smile appeared in his eyes.
His son died. It was not that he died on the battlefield, but that he died inexplicably. Until now, he has never seen anyone or a corpse. But Guo Yi knew very well that his son must be gone.
My son went to Jinzhou to take over the military power in Suqian with Wen Fuyi. As a promising young general, he was highly valued by Wen Fuyi, and he should have had a bright future. Unfortunately, he now has nothing.
If his son died in battle on the battlefield, just like what Sun Runze is doing now, Guo Yi wouldn't think that there was anything. At least that kind of death was brilliant. As a family of generals, he had this consciousness, but he died silently and worthlessly, which made Guo Yi very angry.
"I will collect debts from you." He murmured. Seeing that the pontoon bridge finally arrived on the other side, and seeing the soldiers who built the bridge jumped onto the river bank opposite, he turned over his horse, held the horse's belly, and slowly walked forward. With the reins of the horse, he rode the war horse and walked towards the other side with great strength. Behind him, five thousand fire phoenix cavalry led their war horses and followed him carefully, crossing the river one after another. Not everyone dared to ride war horses on the undulating pontoon bridge like him.
After all the five thousand Fire Phoenix Army crossed the river, the sky gradually brightened. Guo Yi narrowed his eyes and shouted: "All army, attack."
