Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 468 Shocking News
It was not yet dawn the next day, Wang Zheng had just woken up, he heard hurried footsteps outside the tent, someone was whispering something to the guards, soon after, the guards came in on tiptoe, saw that Wang Zheng had woken up, and hurriedly bowed Fu Shou said: "General, Captain Tao is waiting outside the tent."

Wang Zheng was startled, knowing that the other party had come to the barracks so early, he might have something important to report, so after a hasty wash, he was taken into the camp.

Not long after, Tao Ze stepped into the tent, Wang Zheng glanced over, and saw Tao Ze, who had always been calm, panicked, with sweat dripping from his forehead, as if he was quite anxious.

When he saw Wang Zheng, Tao Ze shouted anxiously before he even had time to salute: "Wangzhou Mu, there was an envoy from outside the city two hours ago, but he came from Jiujiang in the north and entered the city. But there is an urgent report, the county lord Tell me to come and tell Zhou Mu!"

Wang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, he stabilized his mind, on the surface he was still calm and calm, but said in a deep voice: "Tao County Captain, please sit down first."

He also ordered the left and right: "Let Wang Xiong and several captains come quickly to discuss matters."

"Here!"

After Wang Xiong and the others entered the account, Wang Zheng looked sideways at Tao Ze. Tao Ze smiled wryly and said, "A few days ago, Sun Ce dispatched his general, Cheng Pu, to transfer to Long Shu. Prefect Liu Xun, Long Shu will be determined in one battle!"

what?
Hearing this, Wang Zheng was shocked and almost jumped up, his expression changed instantly, his eyes looked around, he had seen clearly the expressions of the generals on both sides in the blink of an eye, but saw that the expressions of all the generals of the Heavenly Army changed, Suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed out loud.

Facing the gazes cast by everyone, Wang Zheng slapped the armrests on the desk, stood up, walked around the tent with his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "Uncle Sun's talisman skills stop here!"

Including Tao Ze, everyone was stunned, and Wang Xiong was the first to say in surprise: "General, since Liu Xun is dead and Long Shu is gone, I am afraid that Qianxian County and Lu'an in the north of Lujiang River will also fall to the enemy. , Sun Ce has already captured most of the Lujiang River, which can be said to cover three counties, and if the next few troops join forces, Shu County will be in danger, why did the general say this?"

Wang Zheng looked around at the crowd, and said calmly: "At first, the general thought that Sun Ce was a hero in the world, but now it seems that he overestimated him. I would like to ask you, how many troops do you think he brought with him this time? "

The generals had different opinions, some guessed [-], some said [-], Tao Ze frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Maybe there is not [-], but there is always [-]!"

Wang Zheng shook his head: "Otherwise, Xuzhou would have covered three thousand miles of beautiful rivers and mountains, plus Taishan and Beihai, and tried our best. Now the army is only [-]. Before Sun Ce's rebellion, there were only Wujun and Danyang. That's all, it's where the wealth is, after all, how many people can you raise after the new attachment?"

"It's just that he can recruit people, how can there be so much food supply, armor and equipment?"

As he said that, Wang Zheng smiled slightly and said, "So and so, as I expected, Sun Ce's poor soldiers redeemed their troops, and now the total number of troops under his command is only 5 at most."

"A total of 5 people does not mean that his available army is also [-]."

Wang Zhengdao: "The newly attached land, does he still dare to come out with all his nest? Wu County is adjacent to my Xuzhou Guangling in the north, and Yuan Gong of Jiujiang County is on top of Danyang, and there are many mountains in Jiangdong. It is impossible for Sun Ce not to leave a heavy garrison at this critical place."

"In this way," Wang Xiong interjected, "Sun Ce's soldiers and horses who came to Kou Lujiang this time are probably no more than 3 at most. What a big deal?"

"That's right." Wang Zheng nodded and said, "With 8000 people, the land to the east of the river seems to be quite small. But now, Lujiang River reaches Shu County in Jiujiang, and Hefei is still in our hands. Now that he is going deep alone, he has to defend Xiang'an, and at the two gates near the lake and the river, he has to get rid of at least seven to eight thousand people!"

"Hey, if all the more than [-] people are used to attack Shucheng, they will indeed have the upper hand in terms of the number of troops and horses, and even form a momentum to overwhelm Mount Tai. However, Sun Bofu has divided his troops to attack the north of Lujiang River. Now it seems that there are still several cities. , and completely removed Liu Xun's nail, but actually ignored the main direction of attack."

Wang Zheng looked around at the crowd and said decisively: "This so-called disregarding the priority, it is in vain to give us a chance to defeat them one by one!"

"That's why I just said that I overestimated Uncle Sun's talisman!"

Everyone in the tent was stunned. Hearing Wang Zheng speak so eloquently and logically, he was full of the spirit of a generation of overlords. I thought it was inappropriate, but under Wang Zhenggao's charm and persuasive talent, he still half believed it.

Tao Ze's face was even more sorrowful when he heard it: "What does Wang Zhoumu mean?"

Wang Zhengdao: "If he doesn't divide the army to take the north of Lujiang River, there may be a bitter battle in Shu County. If he is greedy and divides the army, the victory of this battle is already in sight!"

Wang Xiong asked: "Dare to ask the general, what is the plan to defeat the enemy?"

Wang Zheng smiled, but did not speak first, but sat down slowly again.

He wasn't trying to be tricky, but in fact, he just talked about it just now, but he was just adapting to the situation and doing it first to boost the morale of the army. If he really wanted to make a real move, he needed time to sort out his thoughts.

He ordered his personal guards to deliver the tea, and Wang Zheng drank it calmly for a while, while secretly thinking about it, until a plan slowly emerged in his mind, but it might be a little rough to adapt to the situation, so Wang Zheng still didn't say anything. , just coughed dryly, looked sideways at Tao Ze, and said with a smile: "Does Xiaowei Tao have a good plan now?"

Tao Ze is also a veteran general who has galloped on the battlefield for many years. He was naturally upset when he was in a hurry before, but now he has recovered his composure under the influence of Wang Zheng. After thinking for a while, he continued following Wang Zheng's analysis: What Wang Zhoumu said means that Sun Ce's division of troops is to take advantage of one's strengths and take advantage of one's weaknesses. If we want to attack each of them, we must concentrate our elites, and we must first be weak and then strong."

"The enemy army under Shucheng is personally commanded by Sun Ce, and Huang Gai and Han are several strong generals. They are naturally their strongest point. Besides, Xiang'an is a door that cannot be lost, and I am afraid it is also heavily guarded. Then"

He looked at Wang Zheng, and said with some uncertainty: "Cheng Pu was besieging Linhu before, but now he quietly ran to Longshu. It is likely to divide the troops again. Then the enemy forces in these two places are not too many. It is the enemy's weakness!"

"It's just that our two armies are trapped in Shucheng, and self-protection is not enough. How can we go out of the city to defeat the enemy? Even if we know the enemy's weakness, it is difficult to win."

Wang Zheng smiled and said nothing, but Wang Xiong's eyes lit up and said suddenly: "We must not go out of the city, but the two generals Wu Sheng and Huang Zhong are wandering soldiers. General, should we send someone to deal with Cheng Cheng?" general?"

Tao Ze said disapprovingly, "Huang Zhong only has two to three thousand people, not to mention Wang Zhoumu asked him to come to rescue Shucheng before, how can he act rashly?"

"Wu Sheng can't move either."

Wang Zheng also shook his head. His main purpose of going south this time was not only to save Yuan Shu from the siege, but to take the opportunity to wipe out Sun Ce, the great enemy, and wipe them out in one fell swoop. He is the only one who knows that this is the biggest surprise soldier along the way, a hole card, and he will never let it show up in front of others unless it is absolutely necessary!
Tao Ze said in astonishment, "Then how do we defeat each of them?"

"The way to use troops is to combine odd and right. From Sun Ce's point of view, the general is now in Shucheng, he is the main force, and he is upright. The other soldiers rushing to help and wandering outside the city are odd soldiers, but they are strange. Strangeness can be right, but we can do the opposite!"

Wang Zheng said word by word: "Both Wu and Huang's armies are in the wild, without support, and have heavy responsibilities, so they are upright and cannot be moved lightly. However, the two groups of people in our city have a city to rely on, and they are with him. Passers-by are different."

"So?"

"Therefore, we want to break the danger of the counties in the north of the Lujiang River being lost"

Wang Zheng raised his arms and shouted: "No, it should be said that if we want to seize the opportunity of Sun Ce's mistake in dividing the army, we should send elites to go out of the city at sunrise and go back and forth to Lujiang River. advantage, the three armies will join together, complete their meritorious service in one battle, and wipe out Sun Ce!"

Sun Ce's attack on the north side of the Lujiang River happened to block the frontal passage of Wu Sheng's men and horses coming to aid Shucheng. After Wang Zheng heard the news, he found a way to break it in the shortest possible time.

This way of cracking, maybe I dare not say that it will be successful, and I have taken a lot of risks, but it is the only way in terms of the current situation.

When Tao Ze hurried back to the county government to inform Zhou Hui of the plan, Wang Zheng ordered Wang Xiong and others to go and inform all the generals above Dubo to come to discuss the matter together.

When Zhou Hui also led a group of civil and military men to the handsome tent, everyone discussed carefully together.But found another difficult problem to solve.

It would be great if this information could be known a little earlier, even if it was yesterday, it would be better than today.

After all, Sun Ce's army and horses arrived just yesterday. If he had known the information that Cheng Pu was going to attack Long Shu by surprise, it would be much easier for Wang Zheng to lead a group of cavalry out of the city when his deployment was not yet fixed and the camp was not yet secured.

Although it was only one night now, Sun Ce set up camp very quickly, and the camps in the south, east, and west of the city roughly took shape.

And most importantly, all his troops have arrived one after another, and the basic deployment has been made, setting up a tight encirclement line outside Shucheng.

But this is just talking, Shucheng's current defense force, even with the 3000 troops brought by Wang Zheng, is barely self-defense. If the army is divided up and goes back and forth to the north of Lujiang River, the defense will definitely be more difficult.

No matter if it was yesterday or today, the number of troops that can be dispatched should not be too many. After all, Shucheng is the most important thing now. If the road to go north to Jiujiang is lost, the situation will get worse.

So now the biggest question before everyone comes out:
If a small army were to attack Sun Ce's established position of Guo Wan's army, what method should he use to break through?
Which direction should we choose to break through, and what kind of tactics should we use to break through, in order to achieve the greatest strategic success at the least cost?
Among Sun Ce's troops scattered around outside the city, the north side is naturally the least, because the north side is the widest side of the moat in Shucheng, and it is the most difficult to cross, so it becomes a weak point in Sun Ce's encirclement line, but if you go out of the city here However, once Sun Ce found out in advance, the result of lowering the suspension bridge would be a double-edged sword.

Similarly, the east and west sides are also surrounded by rivers, and the south side of the river, which is the easiest to cross, is also where Sun Ce's main force is stationed.

Wang Xiong thought of an idea: "Why don't you make a noise?"

Everyone looked sideways, and Zhou Hui asked, "Why are you making so much noise?"

Wang Xiong said: "Use a team to go out of the south city first to attract Sun Ce's attention. Then select the troops to go back and forth to the north of the Lujiang River, and then go to the north gate and cross the river in ambush. Sun Ce's army outside the north gate is the least, as long as we assemble early , take the opportunity to lower the suspension bridge to catch him by surprise, and he will definitely be able to kill him out of the city."

At this time, Wei Yan on the side sneered and said: "This is just talking on paper!"

"The moat is Shucheng's biggest reliance. I'm afraid Sun Ce has been thinking about how to overcome this difficulty day and night. It seems that the enemy army is the least outside the northern city. How do you know that the enemy did it on purpose?"

"Surprise, surprise, hey, it's easy to say, but it's too difficult to do. If there is a slight accident, the army will be attacked by the enemy halfway out of the city! Captain Wang, if Sun Ce doesn't fall for the trap, he will see through our intentions and take the opportunity What should we do if we seize the North Gate?"

Wang Xiong rolled his eyes strangely when he heard the words, and met Wei Yan's big eyes and small eyes for a long time, before he said angrily: "Then what's your opinion, Brother Wei?"

Wei Yan didn't answer, but just squinted his eyes and stared at the map for a while, muttering to himself: "Sound east hit west, sound east hit west"

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly clapped his hands, and then looked at Wang Zheng and Zhou Hui and said, "Young Master, Wang Zhoumu, outside the southern city wall, the enemy army is strong, and Sun Ce is personally in charge. If you charge forcefully, it may be difficult. The current plan , and we can only think of ways in the north or outside the east and west walls.”

Wang Zheng nodded, and asked, "Brother Wei, what is your plan?"

"Don't let the suspension bridge go lightly, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity. It's midsummer now, and the river is not too fast. How about choosing some shallow and narrow river crossings?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Tao Ze in unison. He was the only one in the room who was originally from Lujiang, and later served as an official in the local area. He should be familiar with the mountains and rivers near Shucheng. Naturally, only he can answer this question.

Tao Ze thought for a while and said, "A shallow and narrow ferry? Well, there are definitely no crossings in the north of the city. However, there are quite a few shallow and narrow river crossings in the east and west of the city. Possibly, but"

"Oh?" Wang Zhengda was interested, and asked, "Just how?"

Tao Ze coughed dryly and said, "Wei Yan said just now that the river water is not in a hurry, which is good, but in summer it rains a lot, but the water level is much higher than in autumn and winter, and even the shallowest few ferry crossings are not very shallow. , the key is also extremely narrow, and it is not easy to pass through, which requires very high riding skills for the riders. Some generals are naturally proficient in riding skills, but they are ordinary soldiers."

"Haha." Wang Zheng laughed up to the sky when he heard the words, waved his hands and said, "It turns out that Captain Tao was worried about this. There is no need to worry about this matter. The cavalrymen in the Tianzhu Camp under the general's command are all excellent riders. Nothing is too much!"

Just kidding, the cavalry he brought this time is at least second-tier.

Besides, if the riding skills of the second-tier soldiers are not good enough, Wang Zheng will still have a lot of experience, and Wei Yan made another contribution yesterday when he led the Tianzhu camp to charge.
At worst, with a swipe of his pen, he could raise all the cavalry under his command to the third rank.

As long as it is a problem that the system can solve, it is never a problem.
