Chapter 168 Pinch the soft persimmon first

For the fierceness of Xing Tianjun, Huang Degong was taught in Hongshi Mountain as early as last year. At that time, he was almost destroyed by the Xingtian Army in the Battle of Hongshi Mountain. He escaped from Hongshi Mountain with a small number of songs all the way, and finally managed to escape from the ascension to the sky. So this time he was ordered to fight against the Xingtian Army, and his heart was 15 gourds. Lu Dashui went up and down. He knew that most of the soldiers and horses under his command were newly recruited soldiers. The quality of equipment and training were much worse than those soldiers he brought from the Beijing Division at the beginning, so he procrastinated all the way to Runing Mansion. After seeing Sun Yingyuan, he kept silent. The first defeat was just to tell Sun Yingyuan not to underestimate Xing Tianjun. Don't act carelessly and be tricked by Xing Tianjun.

Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong are both generals from the Beijing camp. At the beginning of nine years, they once guarded the border. Last year, they were also transferred to Henan to suppress bandits. First, they led the Kaifeng area to fight with the Gezuo Fifth Battalion, which defeated the Gezuo Fifth Battalion for a while, beheaded more than 1,700 levels, and then entered Jiangbei to pursue the Gezuo Fifth Battalion. He is a fierce general. He fought with the five battalions of the left and won more defeats. Now he has been promoted to the position of deputy general because of his meritorious service. He has 6,000 soldiers under his command, which is quite famous in Jiangbei and Yudong, so this time he was also named by Xiong Wencan to suppress the Xing Tianjun.

Sun Yingyuan was different from Huang Degong's carelessness at the beginning. After all, Xing Tianjun has been shocked, losing many officers and soldiers in a row, and many famous generals have been folded into the hands of Xing Tianjun. Therefore, Sun Yingyuan did not dare to underestimate Xing Tianjun, but found Huang Degong and learned a lot about Xing Tianjun from Huang Degong.

After hearing the news that Xing Tianjun was coming to attack this time, Sun Yingyuan immediately discussed with Huang Degong. The two led their troops to station on both sides of Runing Mansion. The big camp was backed by Runing Mansion, forming a momentum of horns and forming mutual support. Here, they blocked the offensive of Xing Tianjun and broke the thief under the city of Runing. Even if it was not good, in his opinion They have more than 10,000 troops. Compared with the thief's army, they can at least avoid entering the city and stick to it. How can they insist on Xiong Wencan send troops to help? At that time, they should work together to defeat the thief army, and their credit is absolutely indispensable.

For Sun Yingyuan's proposal, Huang Degong thought it was feasible after thinking about it, so he agreed with the governor of Runing that they sat outside the city and cooperated in guarding the city. After the agreement, the two immediately returned to the camp, rearranged the barracks, dug horse pits outside the camp overnight, buried horses and other things, and were in the camp. A lot of iron thistle was spread outside, and the camp door was closed tightly, waiting for the Xing Tianjun to attack.

It's funny to say that the strength of the two armies was not much different, and the strength of the Xing Tianjun was still slightly weaker. However, Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan, the two Ming army generals, known as tough generals, were abnormal. They were stationed under the city in a group and made a defensive posture, looking at a team of soldiers and horses of the Xing Tianjun from the west. Ping County drove to the bottom of Runing City, but did not take the initiative at all.

After Xiao Tianjian led his troops to reach the outside of Runingfu City, he ordered to stop moving forward and set up a large camp in the north of Runingfu City. He was still used to leading the generals to climb high and began to observe the defense situation of the officers and soldiers of Runing Mansion.

After they put down the telescopes in their hands one after another, Xiao Tianjian pointed to the generals and said to the generals, "It seems that Huang Degong has learned from the past this time, and he dares not take the initiative to come to trouble us!" On the contrary, Sun Yingyuan, as a general, actually camped close to the city of Runing Mansion with Huang Degong, holding a group to stop us here!

It's not easy to do! Neither Huang Degong nor Sun Yingyuan are general people. They should know some tactics! Knowing that we can't be trapped in the city, now there is a horn under the city. In this way, whether we attack the city or attack any side, they can support each other. This battle is not as easy as we thought when we came!

You are also thinking about how to defeat the two officers and soldiers Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan as soon as possible?

Luo Li, as a major general under Xiao Tianjian, has now begun to learn to use his brain. After holding a telescope for a while, he said to Xiao Tianjian, "As the last general can see, it is obviously unwise to attack Runingfu City now! The officers and soldiers are obviously ready to deal with it. The siege will only make us suffer heavy casualties and return to no success. If we fight, we must first defeat the two groups of officers and soldiers outside the city!"

"Oh? Go on! How to fight?" Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction. He was still very happy that Luo Li thought about the problem this time. The reason why he brought Luo Li's second division out this time was that Luo Li's second division was the strongest combat effectiveness, and Luo Li was a fierce general. Another reason was that Luo Li sometimes didn't like to use his brain and put him in If you look after the house at home, you may make mistakes. Now it seems that Luo Li is also gradually changing his temperament, and he knows more and more about using his brain to fight, which is a good phenomenon.

Luo Li scratched his head and said, "You can hit anyone first!" Let's concentrate our forces to attack an officer and army, and I, Luo Li, will take the lead!"

At this time, Li Jinde shook his head and said, "It's different, it's different!" You have to think about who to hit first! In the view of the humble position, if you want to fight, it's better to play Huang Degong first!"

Xiao Tianjian turned his head and asked, "Why?"

Li Jinde bowed and said, "Marshal, although Huang Degong is known as a tough general, after all, he was defeated by the marshal before. Now most of the thousands of officers and soldiers under his command have been recruited recently. Neither equipment nor morale are enough to worry about, so I think that if we fight, we still have to fight first. Starting from Huang Degong, as long as he defeats Huang Degong's department, then Sun Yingyuan will be alone, and it will be much easier to deal with it! As for this Runing City, as long as you defeat the officers and soldiers outside the city, you will not attack and break it!"

Xiao Tianjian laughed and said, "It's better to practice!" Yes! You guys have also learned. To fight a war is to use your brains. There is also knowledge in it to fight who fights first and then! But Luo Li, you know how to use your brain now, which is not bad! Sooner or later, you people will be alone. You can't fight without learning to fight with your brains!

According to the practice, let's take the soft persimmon first, fight Huang Degong, our loser first, and then beat Sun Yingyuan! Luo Li listens to the order!"

"I order you to concentrate the three battle camps under your command, and then allocate the artillery battalion to you. Starting early tomorrow morning, lead your troops to attack the Huang Degong battalion for me. Please fight the Huang Degong camp for me within three days, and come to see me with the head of Huang Degong! First, break off one of the two horns of Runing Mansion!"

Luo Li immediately received the order as soon as he heard it.

And Xiao Tianjian continued: "Situ Liang and Liu Yao listened to the order. I ordered you two to keep an eye on Sun Yingyuan's headquarters in the west of the city. Once Luo Li led his troops to attack Huang Degong's camp, if he led his troops to respond, he would beat them back fiercely! In short, you can't unite them! The rest of the people sat in the camp to prevent the officers and soldiers from raiding our camp! That's it! Go back now! Tomorrow, I will bury the pot to make rice. After eating the war meal, I will start to act as soon as I arrive!"

After listening to this, the generals immediately took orders loudly, turned around and followed Xiao Tianjian down the high hill, turned over and drove towards the camp under the protection of the guards.
