Chapter 343: Ye Shuer (1)
Chapter 343 Yesuer (1)
The generals agreed, "Chief Commander, General Kong's great defeat is the shame of our army. The last general also thinks that we should send troops to Cen Xi immediately to fight against the Song army!"
These generals are not stupid people. Among them, those who knew that Kong Yuan’s defeat had already begun to think about the next strategy on the way.
But some generals held different opinions and said: "The generals of the head coach, Wutongling's mistake was just a temporary mistake. The last general felt that according to the original strategy, when Deputy General Yesuer led his army to the outside of Wuzhou City, we will attack Wuzhou in a large scale and block the north and east sides of the Song army from the middle, and slowly plan to do it."
Boyan didn't say anything.
The generals in the hall were already talking back and forth, and they started to discuss.
But a few minutes later, someone had already cursed, "Damn, General Kong is dead, are you still waiting here?"
"General Kong is dead, how can he change his policy in a hurry because of him?"
The generals of the Yuan Dynasty were roughly divided into three waves, one wave advocated to attack Cen Xi immediately, the other wave advocated to act according to the original plan, and the other wave was silent.
"Enough."
Until the generals even wanted to fight, Boyan's hand slapped heavily on the table, "Silent!"
The generals immediately calmed down.
In the army, this situation is extremely common. After all, they are all men who lick blood from the edge of a knife. Boyan has become accustomed to it.
He said: "General Kong's defeat was because I underestimated the Song army too much. We have only 130,000 soldiers and horses in the city now. If the Song army mobilizes troops and horses in Cenxi County, our army may not be able to take Cenxi in a short time. It's better to wait for Deputy Commander Yesuer to lead the troops to join!"
He waved his hand and said, "Send an order to let the army's weapons workshop develop the Song army's thunder cannon! Hurry up and make it!"
"Chief Coach!"
The general who advocated attacking Cen Xi immediately avenged him, but when he saw Boyan's cold eyes, he could only swallow what he said.
As the Grand Marshal who attacked Song, Boyan had extremely high prestige in the Yuan court, and this was even more so in the army.
In fact, after he remembered Kublai Khan's words, he had no intention of sending troops to Cen Xi immediately. The generals from Xuan came here just to go through the motions.
Those generals who were so upset because of Kong Yuan’s defeat must have a place to vent their emotions.
Wouldn't it be nice to quarrel in the hall and vent the anger in your heart?
Boyan glanced at the generals and said, "Everyone should go back. Without my command from my commander, no one should act rashly."
The generals who were unwilling to accept the order when they saw that Boyan's face was extremely serious, so they could only accept the order and left.
So, the past four days.
Zhao Dongting led a large army to Cenxi County, only thirty miles away from Cenxi.
During the four days, no news came from the Yuan army in Duanxi City. However, there was news from Jingjiang Mansion that Yesuer's army had arrived at Jingjiang Mansion.
Zhao Dongting did not lead his army into the city, but set up camp in Huangweidang, 30 miles south of Cenxi County.
Huang Weidang used to be a village, but now it is already empty.
After the army set up camp, he immediately asked Fei Ge to send a message to Zhang Jue and Wen Tianxiang, asking them to pay attention to Yesuer's movements at all times. If Yesuer's army intended to meet with Boyan, he would lead the army to Wuzhou and shrink the defense line.
Although even if all the troops gathered, the Song army could not resist the Yuan army. But at present, there was nothing we could do about it.
Forced by the overall situation.
If the Yuan army merged and the Song army still maintained a long line of defense, it would only be destroyed by the Yuan army.
In Cenxi County, Zhang Hongwei also led the Tianji Army to arrive.
He and Su Quandang Feige sent a message to Zhao Dongting and asked Zhao Dongting whether he led his army into the city. Zhao Dongting replied that he would not, but just let him stay in Cenxi with peace of mind.
In this era, wars were all about defending and sieging the city, but Zhao Dongting came from descendants and was not limited to this style of fighting.
As long as the food and supplies are sufficient, where to station is not stationed?
He led his army to be stationed in Huangweidang, and Cenxi County was ahead to resist the Yuan army. When the Yuan army attacked, he could still wait for an opportunity to act. If he led his army to be stationed in Cenxi County, he would really have to wait for the Yuan army to attack the city.
Su Quandang's letter reporting on the results of Wutongling mentioned that the Yuan army had thunder and thunder in the letter, so Zhao Dongting felt that the city was no longer so reliable.
He thought about this situation because the sky thunder could not be hidden forever.
And when both sides have firearms, the city that seemed solid seemed a little fragile.
Most of the city walls of this era are only about five meters wide, and some county towns are narrower, and they are still earthen walls, which cannot even be blocked by catapults. How can they block the bombing of shells?
Unless it is almost the same as the extremely high and wide walls as Wuzhou City.
But how many cities in the whole world can have the majestic atmosphere of Wuzhou City?
In the plain, as long as there were not too many Yuan troops, Zhao Dongting felt that he had a more advantage.
Time always passes quickly.
Before he knew it, Zhao Dongting led his army to Huang Weidang for eight days.
The Yuan army in Duanxi City never heard of movement.
Yesuer's army rushed south and headed straight for Wuzhou City. At this time, it was only two days away from Wuzhou City.
Zhang Jue and Wen Tianxiang quickly closed the defense line and completely abandoned the cities to the west. All the troops were stationed in Pingnan, Liangjin and Wuzhou.
By this time, the strategic intentions of the Yuan army were almost obvious.
They want to take Wuzhou.
The geographical location of Wuzhou is so important. As long as Wuzhou is captured, the Boyan army in the east can be completely unobstructed.
Moreover, with the strength of Wuzhou City, they can be said to be invincible.
At that time, the Yuan army will be stationed in Wuzhou, and will remain undefeated, and will continue to send troops out of the city to attack the Song army. What can the Song army do?
Therefore, Zhao Dongting ordered Zhang Jue to lead his five armies to enter Wuzhou City.
The six armies of Tianyong, Tianshang, Tianxiong, Tianying, Tianwei and Tianman under Wen Tianxiang were stationed in Heping South, Hanjin.
This arrangement is because Zhang Jue is good at guarding, while Wen Tianxiang is better at dealing with the Yuan army.
After Zhang Jue led his army to Wuzhou City, Yue Peng's Tiankui army was also transferred out and rushed to Cenxi County.
In comparison, among the entire 15th army of the Song army, Zhao Dongting was naturally closer to Yue Peng and Su Quandang, the young generals who fought side by side. He was stationed outside Cenxi County and of course he transferred Yue Peng over.
Therefore, before Yesuer arrived at the city of Wuzhou, the arrangement of the Song army had changed drastically.
The original iron barrel defense line has now become a triangular defense line with the three cities of Wuzhou, Liangjin and Cenxi, and Pingnan is supporting it.
If the Yuan army wanted to seize Wuzhou, it would inevitably face the harassment of the two acropolises of Hanjin and Cenxi.
