Chapter 867


Chapter 867 Ren Fang decided to postpone the attack on Jinyang and first take the three cities of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng near Jinyang.

He looked around at the generals on the left and right and asked, "According to the information we know, how many troops are there in the defenders of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng?"

Jin Zhuo said: "Our army has spied three times in a row, and the result is the same each time, and the total number of defenders in the three cities is less than 5,000. ” Nie Ze responded: "That's right, the intelligence of our army's spying is also like this. ” The total strength of the three cities was less than 5,000, and Ren Fang did not believe such data at all, believing that it was contrary to common sense.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I have decided to send 150,000 troops, divided into three routes, and attack Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng at the same time.

General Nie, what is your opinion?"

The defenders of the three cities are only 5,000 people, and it is really a bit of a fuss to use an army of 150,000 on their own, but considering that they will have to occupy the city after the city is broken, it is acceptable to send 50,000 people to each city.

He nodded and said, "Ren Shuai, I have no opinion, just do what you want" "Okay" Ren Fang took out the map, and then beckoned to the generals, so that everyone gathered around, and then, he pointed to the map, and said: "My Sichuan army sent 100,000 troops to divide the two cities of Songqiu and Taifeng, and General Nie sent 50,000 troops to attack Ningding, how?"

Nie Ze didn't answer immediately, looked at the map, and was silent.

Ren Fang only arranged for the Zhen army to attack one city, which seemed generous, but in fact this city was not so easy to fight.

The large camp of the Chuanzhen coalition army is located to the south of Jinyang, and Ningding is located to the north of Jinyang.

Even if Ningding is successfully defeated, because it is too far away from the big battalion, once it is attacked, the big battalion may not be able to send reinforcements in time, but Songqiu and Taifeng are different, one is located in the northwest of the big camp, and the other is located in the northeast of the big camp, the distance is close, and it is much easier to send troops to help.

Nie Ze pondered for a long time, nodded, and said, "Since Ren Shuai has arranged it like this, I have no opinion. ” "Okay, tonight's second watch, you and I will send troops separately and go to the three cities of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng" Ren Fang set the plan for the attack.

Leaving the tent of the Chinese army, Nie Ze and his generals returned to the camp of the Zhen army.

On the way, the generals of the Zhenjun army expressed their dissatisfaction with Ren Fang's decision.

"The Sichuan army sent 100,000 troops to attack two cities, and our army sent 50,000 troops to attack one city, it seems that our army has taken advantage, but Ningding This city is more difficult to fight and defend than the two cities of Songqiu and Taifeng combined, and Ren Fang simply treats us as fools."

"That's right, the main force of the Wind Army and the Wind King Tang Yin are all in Jinyang, we don't fight Jinyang, but we want to fight the other three cities, this is not deliberately leaving Tang Yin and the Wind Army a chance to breathe Pingxiang was attacked, the Wind Army killed all the soldiers of our army, but the Sichuan Army did not move, I think, there is a secret collusion between the Sichuan Kingdom and the Wind Country."

Hearing this, the doubts in people's hearts erupted collectively, and they echoed one after another: "Yes, this matter is indeed weird, General, let it be arranged for our army to attack Ningding, it won't be a trap."

At this time, the Zhen army had a sense of distrust of the Sichuan army, but because of the alliance, it was not good to tear his face in person.

As a general, Nie Ze's mind is not simple, if you want to say that there is a secret collusion between the Sichuan State and the Feng Country, he will not believe it if he is killed, the Feng Army sneak attacked Pingxiang, the reason why the Sichuan Army was not killed, I think it was also a plan to sow discord, and its purpose was to make his own soldiers suspicious of the Sichuan Army.

Nie Ze looked at the generals under his command and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense anymore, who dares to talk nonsense again, and be punished for disturbing the morale of the army."

When the generals heard this, they all closed their mouths, looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.

Returning to the tent of Zhenjun, everyone sat down one after another.

Qian Cheng, the general of Zhenguo, intervened and asked: "This time our army is attacking Ningding, I don't know who the general will send to lead the troops."

Nie Ze didn't think of a suitable candidate in his heart.

Among the generals under his command, there are fierce generals, but the quick-witted ones can't find a few, and to attack Ningding, you must be commanded by a general who is good at improvisation.

When Nie Ze was pondering, one of the generals stood up and said, "General, the last general is willing to lead the army there."

Nie Ze raised his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was not someone else, it was the first-class fierce general who was famous in Zhenguo, Han Ba.

Han Ba was awarded the title of Marquis of Xiaoping by King Zhen, with the rank of lieutenant general.

He was born in the south of Zhenguo, reckless, but strong in martial arts, difficult to meet opponents, before joining the army, he was known as the southern tyrant in Zhenguo, and later joined the army, won the love and trust of Li Hong, the king of Zhen, and also served as Li Hong's personal guard.

Nie Ze looked at Han Ba and shook his head secretly, Han Bayong is brave enough, but his mind is too simple, and his actions are too easy, so he is not suitable for leading an army, let alone fighting Ningding.

Seeing that he hesitated, Han Ba glared at the ring and asked in a condensed voice: "Could it be that the general thinks that the last general can't defeat Ningding City?"

Nie Ze didn't appreciate Han Ba very much, and hated his surname of relying on the king's love of flying and domineering, but he also knew that Han Ba was short-tempered, and if he went against him, he might make some mess He smiled slightly, and said: "General Han is the general in our army, and it is not a big deal to fight the little Ning Ding in person."

These words made Han Ba feel very comfortable to hear, and when he was complacent, Nie Ze's eyes were off, and he happened to see Xiao Chong, who was silent with his head hanging down among the generals, his heart moved, and he said: "Attack Ningding, let General Xiao lead the troops."

In Nie Ze's eyes, Xiao Chong was a general whose military rank was far lower than his actual ability.

Xiao Chong is only a general now, not even a general, but he is resourceful, knows the book of soldiers, knows the strategy of war, and is good at using soldiers.

In addition, he chose Xiao Chong to dispel the dissatisfaction in Han Ba's heart, and his intention was to say that to attack Ningding, only one assistant general would be enough, and not a lieutenant general would be sent.

Really.

Seeing that the person selected by Nie Ze was Xiao Chong, Han Ba didn't even bother to fight.

Xiao Chong heard that Nie Ze had hit him, so he hurriedly stood up, took two steps forward, knelt on one knee, and intervened in the order: "The last general will obey the order" "Okay, if there is nothing else to discuss, all the generals should go back, Xiao Chong stays, and the commander has something to explain."

Nie Ze waved his hand to everyone.

The generals left one after another, and it didn't take long for only Nie Ze and Xiao Chong to be left in the big tent.

Nie Ze beckoned to Xiao Chong, motioned for him to come and sit close to him, and then asked, "General Xiao, what do you think of this attack on Ningding?"

Xiao Chong pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "General Ren left us the most dangerous and difficult place to defend. ” Nie Ze nodded secretly, worthy of being the person he had chosen, and he could see the key to the matter at a glance.

According to the report, Ningding's defenders are only 2,000 people, and it is easy to defeat Ningding, but it is not so easy to defend Ningding.

Nie Ze said with a smile: "This attack on Ningding is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, if you fight well, your military achievements will increase greatly, and your position in the army will rise all the way, but if you don't fight well, I am afraid you will never be able to stand out in the army." ” Xiao Chong inhaled, his face was straight, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you for the promotion, the last general will never let the general down." ” "En" Nie Ze nodded and said, "You go back and prepare, and on the second watch tonight, you will lead the army to Ningding." ” "Yes" On the Zhen army's side, Nie Ze selected Xiao Chong and asked him to lead 50,000 Zhen troops to attack Ningding.

On the side of the Sichuan army, the two generals Zhang Yan and Yu Pan were selected by Ren Fang, each leading 50,000 Sichuan troops to attack Songqiu and Taifeng.

After nightfall, waiting for the second watch, the three-way army moved separately and went straight to the three cities of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng.

The reason why Ren Fang set the time for sending troops at night was naturally to cover the eyes and ears of the wind army.

However, their actions were discovered in time by the hidden arrow personnel lurking near the camp of the Chuanzhen coalition army, and they immediately returned to the city to report to Tang Yin.

The two armies of Chuanzhen left the camp late at night, and went in three directions: northeast, northwest and due north, what are they going to do Hearing about this, Tang Yin, who had already slept, immediately sat up, put on a coat, asked people to find a map, lit candles, took a closer look, and immediately understood that the Chuanzhen coalition army was changing tactics and giving up attacking Jinyang, and instead attacked Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng around Jinyang, the purpose of which was to trap Jinyang in it.

Realizing the enemy's intentions, Tang Yin immediately sent an order, urgently summoned Qiu Zhen and the generals in the army, and asked them to go directly to his bedroom to discuss military affairs.

The order was conveyed, and it didn't take long for Qiu Zhen and the others to hurry to Tang Yin's place, and after coming recently, they all asked: "King, what is the matter?"

"I just got the news that the two armies of Chuanzhen sent 150,000 troops, and the troops were divided into three routes, respectively in the direction of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng."

Tang Yin's eyes rolled wildly, and he said expressionlessly.

Qiu Zhen's face changed, and he exclaimed: "The enemy's targets are Songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng, if these three cities are occupied by the enemy, Jinyang will be in a desperate situation."

Of course, Tang Yin knew the seriousness of the matter, and he was silent.

At this time, Lotte said: "The king doesn't have to worry, the counties to which Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng belong have sent county troops and county troops as reinforcements respectively, and the reinforcements are almost arriving now." ” Qiu Zhen said worriedly: "Relying only on the local armies such as the county army and the county army, I am afraid that it may not be able to withstand the regular central army of Sichuan and Zhen."

Think about the 150,000 Zhen army led by Li Cheng, fighting all the way from Baguan to Wancheng, the local armies in various places are not opponents at all, and even the Chifeng army has been defeated.

As soon as his voice fell, someone at the end of the crowd chimed in: "What Qiu Xiang said is reasonable, using the county army and the county army to block the central army of Sichuan and Zhen is tantamount to seeking a dead end and bringing about self-destruction."

Even if this is the case, but this is too direct, everyone's faces changed, and they all looked back, and when people saw the one who spoke clearly, their noses were almost crooked
