Chapter 1129: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Part 19)

Dong Zhuang, who returned to the Sanchuan Army garrison, glanced at the three regiment commanders in front of him, Xie Dong of the first regiment, Mao Afu of the second regiment, and Song Tao of the third regiment. He knocked on the table loudly, "You all listen up, the commander of the vanguard will The task was given to our three divisions. This is an affirmation for us. Let us be the vanguard, which means that our division is the strongest. Cui Chengxiu and Gao Chengdong were so angry that their faces turned pale, hahaha! Especially Gao Chengdong, this time He is from the reserve team and is even worse than Cui Chengxiu. Let me ask you, do we have the confidence to win this battle?"

"Of course!" the three regiment commanders shouted loudly. "There is no need for the first division. As for the enemies in Pengcheng, our third division will take care of them and let them follow us to eat shit!" Mao Afu, commander of the second regiment, said. He patted his chest and said, "Commander, leave the task of attacking our division to our Second Regiment."

"When will it be the second regiment's turn to attack the enemy? This has always been the task of our first regiment. + pig + pig + island + novel ww.zhom" Xie Dong pushed Mao Afu aside unceremoniously, "Fight within the division, Hui Hui Ke I win everything, and the vanguard task will naturally belong to our group."

"Feng Shui is changing. Come to my house this year, Lao Xie, don't forget, you did win the last military exercise, but how many soldiers did you still win?" Mao Afu chuckled, "If the division commander hadn't been biased and stopped the exercise , I will organize another counterattack, can you handle it?"

"What the hell do you mean I'm biased?" Dong Zhuang rolled his eyes dissatisfied, "You two regiments have already had a red eye, and the troops have already suffered casualties. If you do it again, there will be problems. We are doing a drill. , it’s not internal strife, okay, this time, the first regiment will give way to the second regiment to take over the tough task, but Mao Afu, I will put the ugly words to the front. If you can’t complete the task, you, the regiment leader, will be finished. Join my company and serve as a soldier."

"Don't worry, Commander." Mao Afu suddenly jumped up and said happily. The first regiment is the main force of the third regiment. Both the personnel and the equipment are the best. He originally only fought for it with a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect it. It was successful all of a sudden. Xie Dong next to him turned green, and Song Tao even looked regretful. If he had known this, he should have fought for it. Now it's better, Mao Afu is cheaper.

Pulling the map, shaking it open, Dong Zhuang spread the map directly on the ground. The four people sat down cross-legged around the map. Dong Zhuang pointed to the location of Pengcheng drawn with charcoal on the map.

"Since our army entered Suiyang and our third division was stationed in Sanchuan, the Chu people have been constantly increasing their troops towards Pengcheng, because they also know very well that once Pengcheng is captured by us, the entire Xuzhou will be cut off by us. , According to the intelligence, there are now more than 10,000 regular troops of Chu State stationed in Pengcheng. Please note, these are not Chu State’s miscellaneous troops, but their elite troops. General Bi Xuan is a personal guard of Chu State Lieutenant Qu Zhong. He is highly regarded and has just been transferred to Pengcheng less than three months ago. This is a person we need to pay attention to."

"No matter who he is, if he encounters our Han army, he will still be defeated. Is he still stronger than Qu Wan?" Xie Dong said disdainfully.

"That's a good saying!" Mao Afu laughed loudly, "Qu Wan is known as the most powerful general in Chu State. He is a first-rate figure in Chu State, but when he was in Linyi, he was defeated by us. "

"Okay, okay, don't stay in your room. Whether the Chu army is a bear or not, and whether you are a hero or not, you will know soon." Dong Zhuang tapped the map, "In addition to Bi Xuan's fifteen thousand men in Pengcheng, In addition to the regular army, there are nearly 5,000 local guards. In addition, secret agents from the Oversight Council have also reported that local gentry have organized some local armed forces. The specific number is unknown, probably between 2,000 and 3,000."

"Teacher, don't we need to count the nursing staff of these big local families?" Song Tao said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate these people. The Oversight Council specifically mentioned this in the intelligence. These local armed forces organized by the gentry are probably stronger than the local guards." Dong Zhuang said: "In war, don't underestimate any opponent. "When a lion fights a rabbit, you must use all your strength."

"The teacher is right!" The three of them nodded in succession.

"Okay, now let's talk about the specific deployment!" Dong Zhuang said: "Mao Afu's second regiment is the vanguard. The first thing you have to capture is Tucheng. This is the first checkpoint leading to Pengcheng. In Tucheng, Bixuan A team of about a thousand people was stationed. It should be noted that there is a big landowner about ten miles away from Tucheng. I heard that his family has tens of thousands of acres of farmland, and there is a whole street of pavements in the city. The man has in his hands a team of ominous numbers.”

"Didn't the Overwatch Council's spies find out?" Xie Dong said strangely: "There are also bones that they can't chew off?"

"There are too many bones for them to chew!" Mao Afu sneered: "Sir, there are not many people in Zhuangzi!"

"No, there must be a lot of people." Dong Zhuang said: "Because this Zhuangzi is completely closed, the people who come in and out are all familiar faces, outsiders can't get in at all, and the spies from the Supervisory Council only watched from a distance. After a few glances, this village not only has high walls, but also has watchtowers. Judging from the shape of the openings in the watchtowers, the spies are convinced that there are heavy weapons such as bed crossbows inside."

"I'm afraid Zhuangzi doesn't have the guts to mess with us. Ignore him!" Mao Afu dismissed it.

"Afu, we are going to fight abroad this time, and we must take all possibilities into consideration. Don't be careless. When I was in the advanced military training class of Jicheng Comprehensive University, the king came to give us a class in person. In the class, the king once said that any small accident may cause the failure of a major battle. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole. Afu, when attacking Tucheng, you must remember to send a team to guard this village."

"I know, division commander!" Mao Afu nodded.

"In Sixi, fifty miles away from Bixuan's garrison, the local guards of Pengcheng are stationed. , as the horn of Pengcheng, Xie Dong, your first battalion will mainly attack this guard. When Mao Afu attacks Pengcheng after taking Tucheng, you should appear on the right side of Pengcheng in time."

"Understood!" Xie Dong nodded, "Don't worry, division commander, I will arrive on time!"

"Your attack distance is farther than the second regiment. Although the combat effectiveness of the local guards is not as good as the elite of the Chu army, it is 5,000 people after all. You will not be easier than the second regiment."

"Don't worry, division commander, we don't know what kind of stuff the local guards of Chu are. Not to say that they will collapse at the first touch, but they really can't stand the fight. Afu, you have to Speed ​​up, don't wait until I kill the 5,000 guards and reach Pengcheng, and you are still dawdling in Tucheng. When that time comes, I will start first without any hesitation, and don't blame me for snatching your task of attacking." Xie Dong laughed.

"You wish, you should work harder first, don't wait until I enter Pengcheng, and you are still running on the road!" Mao Afu hit back.

"Song Tao, your third regiment, as a reserve, must also ensure the smooth flow of logistics roads for the two regiments in front. After all, we are fighting in the enemy's territory, and the people of the other side will not treat us well, let alone raise "Hold your hands to welcome us."

"Yes, Commander!"

"I will follow with the troops directly under the division. Great Han army, long victory!" Dong Zhuang stood up and stretched out his hand.

The four big hands were tightly clasped together, "Great Han army, long victory!"

"Action!" Dong Zhuang said sternly.

In Tucheng, the Chu army defender Yu Ping was inspecting his position. Tucheng did not have a solid wall. On both sides of the road leading to Pengcheng, the terrain was used to build a solid defensive position. Looking back at the direction of Pengcheng, Yu Ping was in a heavy mood. General Bi Xuan's order to him required him to defend Tucheng to the death and not retreat until there was a single soldier. Opposite him was the newly formed First Army, the main force of the Han army, with a strength of 3,000 men.

Yu Ping was not unfamiliar with this army. As two armies confronted each other on the border, Yu Ping naturally knew the opponent on the opposite side. The newly formed First Army had been fighting fiercely since its formation, especially in the battle with the elite troops of Tian Dan of the former Qi State at the Xiaoshan Pass, which made them famous all over the world. Later, when they marched into Qi State, the army was even more unstoppable and frightened the Qi army. This time, it was his turn to experience the power of this army. The strength was one to three, and the opponent might increase its troops at any time, and he , there would be no reinforcements. If there were any reinforcements, they could only be from Liu Yiqing, the big landlord of Lvliu Village, which was more than ten miles away from Tucheng. However, Liu Yiqing only had about 500 men under his command, and Yu Ping was deeply skeptical about the fighting power of these guards. Maybe they were good at fighting alone, but it was hard to say whether they could withstand the attack of the regular army when they were assembled into an army.

I was destined to be abandoned. Yu Ping sighed in his heart, but he did not hate Bi Xuan in his heart, because when he was giving the task, Bi Xuan had already made it clear to him the significance of letting him hold on to Tucheng, and clearly told him how to If you don't want to, you don't have to go.

How can you not go? If you don't go and stay in Pengcheng, your military career will end here, which is shameful for a professional soldier.

I would rather die on the battlefield than live in disgrace, everything is for the Chu State. In the war last year, the Han Dynasty fought on two fronts and defeated the two giants, Qin and Chu. By the way, it also took Qi into its pocket. Its power was greatly expanded and aggressive. On the border between Han and Chu, the Han army concentrated three fronts, Bai Yucheng's Qilu Corps, Zhang Hongyu's newly formed First Army, and Xu Yuan's Northern Field Army, to attack Chu. The ambition is not concealed at all. If it is not curbed, Chu will be too passive in terms of strategy. In order to make up for the strategic disadvantage, a victory is needed.

"Die if you want, as long as your death is worthwhile!" Yu Ping adjusted the sword on his waist, looked at the soldiers who were raising and strengthening the position, and shouted: "Faster, build it more firmly, the enemy has come, these bandits have robbed a large area of ​​our land, and now, they want to take our land from us. We are here to let them know that we, the Great Chu, cannot be despised." (To be continued...)
