Dawei Fanghua

Chapter 45 A little drifting

After entering the gate of Yingzhai, Qin Liang and others walked through a dirt road with flickering lights and irregular stone slabs paved every one or two steps.The group passed through a small bamboo forest and came to a small dilapidated village, where Wang Ling's Chinese army was located.The manor located southeast of here has been occupied by the Wei army, but Wang Ling did not go there.

Occasionally, you can see people passing by carrying wounded soldiers. Although Wang Lingjun only joined the battle in the afternoon, he didn't look too relaxed.

The accompanying private soldiers stayed outside the thatched hut, and Qin Liang and the other three walked into a house with a straw roof. The outer walls were made of rammed earth and the inner walls were made of bamboo bones and mud.This kind of dilapidated private house is certainly not comparable to the tall and gorgeous attic mansions in Shouchun City, but even the simple thatched hut seems to be more comfortable than Wei Jun's similarly low tung oil cloth tent.

In addition to Wang Ling, there were several civil servants and military generals in the low and narrow room.As soon as Qin Liang and others came in, the room seemed even more crowded and cramped.Everyone stood up, greeted each other, and came very close to each other.

Wang Ling's hair at the temples and only the mustache on his lips have turned gray, but he is still wearing armor. The old man has a strong figure and looks even tougher in armor.Wang Ling looked his son up and down, nodded frequently, and his eyes seemed to light up with joy.

The relationship between many middle-aged sons and their elderly fathers is not so warm.Qin Liang saw it and felt that Wang Ling and his son seemed to have a good relationship.

"Have you eaten yet?" Wang Ling asked.

Wang Guang shook his head.

Wang Ling immediately ordered outside the door: "Get some food and bring some for the soldiers outside."

Someone outside responded: "Here."

Everyone sat down again. Sun Li and Wang Ling faced each other, sitting on both sides of the wooden table above. The rest found their own seats in the room on the rope beds brought by the army.Wang Ling said: "Thanks to the bravery of General Sun's troops today, they were undefeated against twice the enemy. They also defeated Qin Huang and killed him. Our army has thus stabilized the situation."

Sun Li turned to look at Qin Liang and said, "Thank you for getting Qin Zhongming."

Just when everyone was congratulating themselves on today's staged victory and breathing a sigh of relief, Qin Liang took advantage of the opportunity for everyone to pay attention to him and suddenly said: "I think Wu Bing will run away tonight."

When people heard this, several people had expressions of surprise on their faces, and no one said anything for a while.

Qin Liang continued: "I heard that the soldiers of the generals of Soochow can be succeeded by fathers and sons. It is inevitable that such generals have the selfish intention of preserving their strength. Today the Wu army cannot defeat our army, and they also lost the fifth battalion of General Qin." Akira, so there may not be much willingness to continue fighting.”

He paused and said, "Secondly, I checked the military report sent from Shouchun City last night. It is located on Shaopei Du between Shaopei and Feishui. The Wu army has already set up a pontoon bridge. If the Wu army plans to take it easy after the war, To retreat, they could have taken a boat; the pontoon bridge was set up in advance so that they could leave the battlefield as soon as possible when the battle was unfavorable and escape immediately. As long as they passed through the pontoon bridge and burned the bridge, it would be difficult for our army to catch up.

Thirdly, it is only April, which is not the season when the water level is at high levels. The rare continuous heavy rains a while ago have resulted in large ships being able to navigate the Shishui, Old Canal, Feishui and other water surfaces.However, it has been sunny in recent days, and the water level may soon drop, making it impossible for large ships to sail.Wu Jun could not delay for too long and could only try to win a quick victory. "

Qin Liang added, "If you look at everything from the water level, Wu Jun's deployment and actions become reasonable. With General Sun having already left the city, and even the King Commander also leaving the city, the two Wu troops, Gu Cheng, However, Zhang Xiu's troops still did not concentrate their forces in the field, and first sought to use superior forces to annihilate our mobile forces.

At that time, Gu Cheng and Zhang Xiu continued to go north, wanting to attack Shouchun City directly. Later, they found that the whole Cong tribe was not in a good position, so they came over temporarily to join the battle.This is to try to win Shouchun in the shortest time. If they can't break the city quickly, they will leave. "

At this time, the soldiers brought rice and rice, as well as several bowls of vegetable soup, stew and meat, which were probably leftovers from the evening meal.The mixed dish was soupy and watery, and it looked really bad. It looked like the swill eaten by a black pig.But Qin Liang and others were really hungry, so they just ignored it and ate immediately.

Wang Ling's voice said: "Zhong Ming's intention is to attack the camp tonight?" He took a breath through his teeth, frowned and thought, "It's easy to go the wrong way at night, and the soldiers can't see the flag clearly, and it's easy to get confused. If you don't pay attention, , before we hit the enemy camp, our own people got separated first."

Qin Liang felt that what Wang Ling said was somewhat reasonable.He didn't know if it was because of today's actual combat verification that his confidence suddenly exploded and his mentality became a little drifting.

Training and innovation at the tactical level are, after all, a physical theory. For example, if a weapon is a few feet long, it will definitely hit the opponent first, which is fairly certain.But Qin Liang's assessment of the situation just now was a bit abstract and relied on feeling.

But the words have been spoken, and at this point, I can only stick to my opinion.Otherwise, it will easily give people a bad impression, thinking that you are weak-willed and unreliable, and that you will become a mere wallflower when encountering difficulties.

Qin Liang chewed and swallowed, swallowing the food in his mouth first, and then said: "This is what I think. Today, April [-]th, there will be a waning gibbous moon in the eastern sky in the second half of the night, although it is not as good as that on the [-]th and [-]th. It’s a full moon, but it’s still relatively big. The sun is dazzling during the day, the sky is cloudless, and the weather is very clear. The moonlight should be quite bright in the second half of the night. With the moonlight, the visibility will be much higher.”

Qin Liang is not a magician like Lu Zhizhong, but he happens to have done some research on the moon phases, so he knows a lot about the moon phases.This was due to the fact that in his previous life, he had a domestically produced tourbillon mechanical watch with moon phases. He spent a lot of money on it, so he often played with it and studied it.I remember that at that time, my wife often said that he was out of his mind for buying a domestic watch at such an expensive price.

Several people in the hut discussed for a while, and some whispered to each other.

This kind of proactive decision-making is indeed easy for people to have doubts and worry about stealing the chicken but losing the rice.Unlike passive response, when the enemy comes, you can only resist.

For example, one person whispered: "If the Wu army does not plan to withdraw its troops, we will not get any benefits if we approach in the middle of the night. When daybreak, the troops and horses are tired, we will have to continue to deal with the battle. Then the situation tomorrow will be very unfavorable."

Qin Liang could not refute such worries.The bet is based on foresight. If the bet is correct and the enemy has decided to withdraw, they will be unwilling to fight and their will to fight will be greatly reduced.Moreover, if the army is attacked when retreating, it is prone to problems, so it is very possible for the Wei army to take the opportunity to expand the results.

Sun Li had not yet made up his mind, but Wang Guang said first: "We will set off in the middle of the night. In the first half of the night, we will send a few people to get close to the pontoon to have a look. I think Zhong Ming is a very strategic person."

Wang Guang seemed to believe in Qin Liang's ability.

Sun Li also spoke: "I have selected the elite soldiers ahead. First, go south a short distance to find the water area of ​​Shaopei. Then walk east along the shore of Shaopei and you will find Shaopedu. With the lake as a guide, it will not be easy." I got lost. The Royal Governor is behind me. If my army is in trouble, he can still stabilize the overall situation and support my retreat."

Qin Liang did not expect that his idea would be supported so quickly. Sun Li and Wang Guang indeed trusted him.Moreover, this time Huainan was robbed, dikes were dug, and the city was burned. During the day, the Wei army only contained the Wu army's offensive. If we just let it go, it would be equivalent to receiving a fat beating in vain. When I called back, I can only say that I was still a little aggrieved.

The temptation to expand the results was hard to resist, and the generals' gambling nature was once again aroused by Qin Liang's words.

However, Qin Liang couldn't control his emotions at this time, and gradually felt nervous.After winning the battle formation during the day today, he had indeed acted too confident and his ideas were quite radical.
