Chapter 1586: Egg Shell
Two powerful cavalry teams were separated by a Gaoliang River, and the straight line was very short, but they could only stare at them.
"Shi Huo, thank you!" When Jiang Shangyan saw Huo Guang for the first time, he understood what was going on. If these ships had not become brilliant sparks, he would have been caught in the double-sided attack with the Chu cavalry and infantrymen. "How could you appear here?"
Huo Guang waved his hand, "This is a long story. Let's talk about it later, how about it, how many people are there?"
"There is not a big loss, and there are more than 7,000 people who can fight. There is a tough battle during the day, and there are no one dead or injured." Jiang Shangyan said. "Shi Huo, we are in trouble now."
Huo Guang nodded: "There is trouble, but the trouble is not too big. Moreover, the one on the other side has the same trouble as you. Moreover, his situation is much worse than you." He pointed to the opposite side.
"Crossing the river is not a troublesome thing, he has time!" Jiang Shangyan shook her head and said.
"He has no time!" Huo Guang smiled proudly, "Maybe they will start fierce battles tomorrow. Not to mention crossing the river, whether they can survive is a big problem."
"Fire Fire Death Camp?" Jiang Shangyan's face changed slightly, and she immediately reacted: "I'm too stupid. When I see you appear here, I should understand that this is the case. Master Huo, then my next goal will be very clear."
Huo Guang laughed loudly, and the two of them sat cross-legged behind the embankment. A personal guard stood beside them with a torch. Huo Guang took out a map from his arms and looked at the mark on the map. Jiang Shangyan couldn't help laughing: "Sangzhou defense map, can you do this thing too?"
"Of course I can't get the original one." Huo Guang smiled and said, "But it's still no problem to draw a copy."
Pointing at the marks above, Huo Guang began to explain to Jiang Shangyan. Many Ming troops were clear about the arrangements of Chu army in Xiangzhou, but many were unclear about the Ming army. Of course, those on the surface were always for you to see, and they were not afraid of showing them. Only those that the other party tried their best to hide were the real killer and fatal things.
Looking at the deployment map, Jiang Shangyan was a little surprised and disdainful: "This Sun Chenglong is just like this. Such an arrangement is unreasonable, without mobility, without depth. He is preparing to have a desperate blow. Is it either you die or I die?"
"General Jiang, you seem to have forgotten that you suffered a big loss in this person's hands just now. The scars healed and the pain was gone. This is not possible." Huo Guang said with a smile.
Jiang Shangyan's face turned red and she bowed to Huo Guang: "I just don't understand very much."
"There is nothing difficult to understand." Huo Guang said: "If Sun Chenglong's plan is successful this time, then you and Suqian will be almost done. The middle army suffered such a huge loss, and the next battle will naturally be difficult to fight. Sun Chenglong will put on this desperate posture, even His Majesty the Emperor must think twice. Do you know what Sun Chenglong's most core strategy is?"
"Dragging time!" Jiang Shangyan thought for a while and said.
"It's not just delaying time, but also killing and killing." Huo Guangdao: "This man never thought of defeating us from beginning to end. He knew very well about this. Even if he swallowed you and Suqian in one bite, he would still be defeated but not defeated after His Majesty's main force arrived. In this case, the so-called maneuver and depth are to disperse the troops and then be defeated by the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he put on this pose to fight with us. Doing his best to cause greater losses to our army is his main purpose."
"Damn it." Jiang Shangyan thought about it and had to recognize that Sun Chenglong's plan was quite feasible. From the map, we can see that Sun Chenglong took Xiangshan as the center and put on such a pose, forcing the Ming Dynasty to pull out the nails." This person is very cunning."
"The veteran who has fought with Min Wei for many years will naturally not be bad. The most rare thing is that he can clearly recognize his shortcomings and formulate corresponding strategies based on his shortcomings to minimize his disadvantages and magnify the enemy's disadvantages as much as possible."
"But our first ring has been broken, and this plan has a big problem." Jiang Shangyan looked at the map and couldn't help laughing proudly. "It was like an egg shell. The shell outside was very hard, but the inside was soft."
Huo Guang laughed: "This is your next task. You have already pierced his shell and then stir the egg yolk and whites inside."
Jiang Shangyan nodded: "That's what I think, but Master Huo, when I leave, Suqian is completely alone and his food and grass are destroyed."
"It's still possible to hold on in three or five days." Huo Guang said disapprovingly: "Go and do your work, I'll give you this picture. Next, I'll go to Suqian again, and then I'll prepare to go back to the capital. There's not much trouble here."
Jiang Shangyan rolled up the map and put it in his arms, "Master Huo asked me to go and have a good sleep, and I'm really tired when I fight for a day today."
Sun Runze couldn't sleep all night. This time he truly realized what life is impermanence, great joy and sorrow. From the peak of life to the bottom of hell, he only had more than a day to work hard.
When he saw the surging river water whistling on the Gaoliang River with countless giant trees shattering Suqian's retreat, when he saw the rushing Da Chu cavalry suddenly appeared on the other side and burned the Ming army's logistics camp, when he saw teams of reinforcements appearing behind his camp, he was so excited that he almost danced with his hands. Without hesitation, he gathered all his strength and launched the most fierce attack on Suqian.
Sun Runze's military literacy is naturally not bad. When he saw all this, he immediately understood his father's intentions and guessed the next move of the Ming army. However, Xiangzhou is not elsewhere, there are still many rivers and lakes here. It is not easy for Jiang Shangyan to rush out, and the news brought by reinforcements further confirmed his idea. Jiang Shangyan's cavalry will be trapped in a huge circle. No matter where he walks, he will encounter an army that intercepts him.
Kill Suqian as fast as possible, and then go to Shangyan.
But his battle was not smooth. Although the Ming army, which suffered such a severe blow, had a low morale, but fighting against the enemy even more aroused their dangers. They attacked again and again and again, and returned in a desperate situation. This made Sun Runze feel frustrated.
But what he never expected was that the emergence of this sense of frustration was just the beginning of the next nightmare.
After nightfall, news that he never expected came. Guo Yi's way back was cut off. In the following time, the defeated soldiers continued to gather towards him. The army defeated by Jiang Shangyan, hundreds, or dozens of people, were running towards him, because this was their last reliance, at least there was a strong camp here.
Sun Runze's men had more and more soldiers. When the day was bright, he had gathered nearly 40,000 people. But his face became more and more gloomy.
The situation on the battlefield is already very clear. The plan to intercept Shangyan has completely gone bankrupt. What such a powerful cavalry will do next is that they cannot guess. The most beneficial thing to them is that Jiang Shangyan brought his cavalry back to rescue Suqian again, but Sun Runze believes that there is almost no possibility. Because even he would not do such a thing at this time, but would do things that would shake Xiangzhou's defense even more.
Guo Yi, who was separated from the other side of the river, would definitely be in danger. If they could not find their way back in time to return to Jiangnan, what would be waiting for them would be the ruthless pursuit of the Ming army.
"Order the entire army to fight in batches from now on, without sleeping until all Suqian is wiped out." Sun Runze said coldly.
When Sun Runze gritted his teeth and issued the order for the general attack, about fifty miles away from here, two cavalrymen were also facing each other across the river.
Jiang Shangyan spread her legs and stood on the river bank. The red cloak behind her was blown high by the river wind, making a sound. Behind him, seven thousand cavalrymen jumped high on their horses, and on the other side, Guo Yi was also staring at the opposite side. Behind him, teams of Fire Phoenix Cavalry were also ready to go.
Jiang Shangyan laughed loudly, slowly raised her arm, and extended a thumb to Guo Yi. Then, under Guo Yi's gaze, she slowly flipped her fist and turned into a thumb down.
After doing this action, Jiang Shangyan, who was laughing wildly, turned over and shouted: "Brothers, go to Luo for work!"
Among the military horns, thousands of cavalry rode their horses and whipped, and disappeared from Guo Yi's vision in a flash.
Guo Yi looked at the disappearing Ming cavalry with a heavy face. They did not hide the place they were going to. It was not where the Suqian army was stationed, which means that Jiang Shangyan did not go to rescue Suqian.
As Sun Chenglong's deputy general, Guo Yi naturally knew the deployment of the army. This time, it could be said that he hit the Chu army's fatal hole.
"Let's go immediately and find a place where we can cross the river. We must go back as fast as possible." Guo Yi said sternly. Sun Chenglong did not have enough cavalry to chase and suppress Jiang Shangyan. More importantly, even if Sun Chenglong put together some cavalry and came out, he would only give Jiang Shangyan a military merit in vain.
When Guo Yi turned over and advanced upstream with his army, he did not notice that a black falcon eagle was soaring high above his head, circle after circle of territory above their heads, and was following the direction of their army's advance. After almost half an hour of flying, he flapped his wings and disappeared among the layers of clouds.
