Xiao Siwen never expected that the most serious thing would happen in Zhuozhou!And suddenly there was no preparation.
The wind had already blew his beard and hair, but he had no choice but to care about it, and sat on the horse with a pale face.
Previously, when there were explosions and earth-shaking shouts and fighting in the city, the city gate closed.
Xiao Siwen wanted to ask the people who had not entered the city to rescue him, but the cavalry in his hand did not have any siege equipment for a while, so he had no choice but to circumvent the city.
The city was fighting fiercely and it had been a long time since it was over.
At this time, I suddenly saw the south gate of Zhuozhou slowly open... but no one came out. The open city gate and a thin stream of white smoke filled the city gate. Almost all the Liao soldiers looked at the city gate.
Now, do you still dare to enter?
Xiao Siwen's face turned pale and she was speechless.
He felt a sense that an enemy had opened his mind and said loudly: Come and stab me!
But he didn't dare to stab him at all... This was a total humiliation.
Who is the Zhou army guard in Zhuozhou?Xiao Siwen only remembered to ask about this matter.
Finally, a member of the department said: The name is Guo Shao, a person from the Guards Department.I heard that I used to be a blacksmith.He married Fu Yanqing, Daming Mansion, and married the sister of the Empress of the Zhou Dynasty.
blacksmith?Xiao Siwen was almost crying, and he was beaten so miserably by a blacksmith!
Xiao Siwen said again: Are you sure someone has been sent to report to Khan?
The general said: Yili personally took his entourage to report.
Seeing that the soldiers were depressed and the remaining soldiers were thin and had no choice but to retreat to Gu'an.
……
Guo Shao was not surprised to hear that Xiao Siwen retreated.
There is no news of the main force of the Khitan king on the north bank of Zhuo River. Even if he is coming, it is unlikely that it will be today, because the sky is dim and it is almost evening.
The smoke in the air dissipated, but there was still a faint smell of smoke and a strong smell of blood.That kind of fishy smell is a bit similar to the smell that you are standing on a fishing boat, which makes people feel a little nauseous.
Humanely, the Liao army is strong, so we are killing him just like killing pigs!Hahaha!
They are all raised by their parents, and I don’t believe it and can’t kill them…
The generals in the tent were talking wildly and excitedly, and many of them were covered in blood.
Guo Shao's body is the cleanest, and he didn't go into battle himself.
The lining he wore was replaced this morning, the white silk was spotless, and the ring mail was brand new... But he felt that he had the most blood on his hands and could not wash it clean.
However, after killing so many people, he felt that he would not be punished or commended.
The Liao Kingdom was the biggest enemy of the Zhou Dynasty. Chai Rong was threatened by the Liao Kingdom as soon as he ascended the throne. Moreover, the Central Plains dynasty still did not regard the barbarians they identified as human beings, and no one was good at it.
Everyone below was making noise, but Guo Shao didn't say a word.
Everyone has become accustomed to this way of getting along with each other. It’s really because they have become a habit because they don’t have to pay attention to the general and say anything.
Yang Biao and Wang Zhang.Guo Shao suddenly looked up and said, "There is Qi Tingxun."
After hearing this, the three of them stopped talking and went up to worship: The last one is here.
Guo Shao said: You will immediately convene the people from the First Army, Second Army, and Fourth Army, gather together and stand by at any time. Except for the generals' personal soldiers, the remaining war horses will be handed over first... Luo Yanhuan, you will lead the Third Army to receive all the Khitan horses.
Get order!Four people clasped their fists.
Guo Shao said again: Li Chuyun, send someone to get all the wounded soldiers out. If there is a car, load it. If there is no car, carry it with a door panel stretcher.
He gave many orders in one breath and said to Zuo You: Mr. Zuo helps me draft a memorial.First report the victory, win ten thousand people (exaggerated), pay thousands of war horses, thousands of heads, and write the rest... and then complain, the left wing of the Hujie Army fought hard in the city, with heavy casualties. Don’t write the numbers for the specific casualties, just lyricism and description, the better.By the way, the food and grass were exhausted, the houses and tents were damaged, and the wounded soldiers had nowhere to be placed. I wanted to send troops to escort the wounded soldiers from Qigou Pass to the south bank of Juma River... Finally, I told the officials that the main force of the Liao army showed signs of going south, and Zhuozhou could not be defended. Please retreat to the south bank of Juma River as soon as possible to avoid the entire army being wiped out!
He said again: Where are the officials in Zhuozhou?Send a few people to call the Central Army.Fearing that the Liao army would occupy Zhuozhou again and then massacre the city, officials asked the officials to start organizing the people of Zhuozhou to escape to Qigou Pass tomorrow.The corpses left in the city are not to be cared about for the time being.
...Guo Shao said a call and confirmed that everyone knew what he should do, so he fell silent again.It was another time to clarify the ideas.
In fact, he has thought about what he is thinking many times, but now he has to sort it out again. It is really a bit complicated and easy to get omissions.
First, he judged that Xiao Siwen would probably be deceived if he chased Zhuozhou.(Of course, if you are not deceived, you can only find another method.)
Guo Shao is a very good at learning, and this battle is all based on the experience learned in the past.
Three years ago, a small-scale battle in the city of Wuqi Town was too smooth... It made him realize that in this era, there were almost no street fighting, and both the offense and defense were not considered according to experience.
Therefore, once Xiao Siwen was allowed to break through the city gate, the Liao army had been brave and arrogant before, and the possibility of them not following the city to greed for success was relatively small.
After entering the city, they first disrupted the enemy's system with smoke, raids, and false information, causing chaos; then heavy troops blocked the city gate from the flanks and used the terrain to divide the encirclement.
He learned these things from Chai Kehong, a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
If Chai Kehong hadn't used this strategy twice, the first time was to deal with Li Jixun and the second time was to deal with Guo Shao in Haozhou; it would be difficult for Guo Shao to come up with specific measures and deployment methods from scratch in a short time.
Chai Kehong was once his enemy, but he was also Guo Shao's teacher... This battle in Zhuozhou almost completely copied Chai Kehong's war technique.
As expected, the sudden ambush of Xiao Siwen's troops was very smooth.
The Liao army is much more powerful than the Southern Tang army, but the method of using troops is not necessarily as good as the famous Southern Tang generals in the Huainan Battle, and may be completely inferior.
If Chai Kehong was alive and in Guo Shao's position, he could have defeated Xiao Siwen's troops and might have done better.
...Those are things that have been done.Now Guo Shao has returned to his purpose: to return to Tokyo.
Whether to return to Tokyo is not at all based on Guo Shao's will, but a sentence from Emperor Chai Rong; otherwise, Guo Shao dared to resist the order?
But Chai Rong's will does not mean that Guo Shao must stay in Hebei; but that Guo Shao's troops were originally on the front line of Zhuozhou. After listening to Zhao Kuangyin's recommendation, he felt that Guo Shao's staying was the most appropriate choice... But what if Chai Rong felt that Guo Shao was not the most appropriate person?
Then the emperor is most likely to make arrangements separately.
Therefore, Guo Shao's logic is to influence Chai Rong's judgment and turn himself into a person who is not suitable for staying behind; he also thought of a more suitable candidate for Chai Rong, that is Han Lingkun.
The first step is to cross the Juma River first; let Han Lingkun guard the Juma River at Qigou Pass.
Han Lingkun's Long Jie Army's left wing was at Qigou Pass, and he was still holding his troops without losing any losses... Obviously, he was more suitable to stay in Hebei than Guo Shao's troops who had just experienced a great war, suffered heavy losses, and were tired of soldiers and had already fled back to Jumahe.
How to go back to the south bank of Jima River?If you are timid, you can ask for an order to persuade me... But in order to prevent the night from getting too long and dreaming, Guo Shao planned to take action first and then report it and then run away; while asking for an order, he ran away.
Because of his first contribution to the Northern Expedition to annihilate 10,000 enemies in Zhuozhou, Guo Shao had the courage to use his merits to defeat his mistakes.
Moreover, he has reported the situation on the front line. In order to prevent the entire army from being wiped out, he decided to withdraw his troops on the verge of retreat at most at that time. At most, he was misjudged the fighter and suspected of dereliction of duty. At least it is not a serious crime that is difficult to forgive... How to punish him is also experience to follow; in the battle of Huainan the previous year, Li Guxianfeng withdrew his troops from Shouzhou City to Zhengyang.
As a result, the emperor was furious and scolded him for misjudging the fighter jets, but he didn't do anything to Li Gu. This time, Guo Shao made such a great military achievements, and it would be fine if he misjudged the fighter jets.
At present, Guo Shao is ready to realize his first step in his vision and deal with Chai Rong's will.Head-on conflict is seeking death. No one in the Great Zhou Dynasty had the strength and prestige to fight Chai Rong head-on.
...Guo Shao looked up at the south, touched the embroidered waist decoration on his waist with his own hands, and thought to himself: I will never forget what the queen told me sincerely; but I can only do this, there is really no other way.
The queen definitely hopes that he can use this proper method. She trusts Guo Shao countless times to get things done.
This time is no exception, right?
Guo Shao felt that what he did would satisfy her... Otherwise, in this situation, would there be a more clever plan?
Is there any movement in the main force of the Liao army in the north?Guo Shao has asked this question many times in a row.
Li Chuyun was responsible for sending scouts to monitor the north and said: There is no movement yet, at least it has not entered within dozens of miles.
Guo Shao glanced at the dim light outside the tent and said softly: It's too late today, and the Liao army shouldn't come.
What about tomorrow?
Guo Shao once again remembered how Chai Rong retreated after the decisive battle with the Liao lord army.
At that time, the main force of the Zhou army was unfavorable. After the Liao army retreated in the evening, they unexpectedly retreated southward overnight, so that the Liao army had lost the pursuit opportunity when they reacted... The Zhou cavalry still ran very fast.
Chai Rong and Zhou army generals were experienced warriors. Guo Shao believed in their abilities and felt that he should learn how they ran away. The Hujie army was not as fast as the cavalry, but the enemy was dozens or hundreds of miles away, and the distance was more advantageous than Chai Rong when he ran away.
He made a quick decision and said: Call the First Army, Second Army, and Fourth Army Infantry Battalion, "escort" the wounded soldiers to retreat to Qigou Pass tonight.
The general hurriedly said: The troops had just experienced a great war and retreated overnight, which might cause chaos. The system was in chaos for a long time and could not recover its combat power.
Guo Shao said: Just go back alive, I don’t plan to fight again.Throw away all the things and only bring dry food away.Zuo You immediately issued military orders from the shogunate and ordered various departments!
Yes, lord.Zuo You clasped his fist and said.
Guo Shao's face was bloodless, and he seemed nervous when he pressed his hands on his forehead.
But the surrounding environment had long returned to calm, with only the groans of the wounded soldiers and the noise of the insects.
His left hand was still on his waist, constantly thinking: Is it right for me to do this?
The wind had already blew his beard and hair, but he had no choice but to care about it, and sat on the horse with a pale face.
Previously, when there were explosions and earth-shaking shouts and fighting in the city, the city gate closed.
