Chapter 278: Beacon Fire Communication
The ironclad ship continued to go north, and continued to wreak havoc on the coast of Jin State, vowing to destroy the salt production of Jin State.
In Anyang, Li Xian originally planned to drop bombs on the Jin Palace after the first jet aircraft test was successful; but Yun Feihong said that the first real supersonic aircraft could be produced in at most ten days, Li Xian postponed this plan temporarily. Hmph, it will be even more exciting when the supersonic plane comes out.
…………
Li Lisong, the commander of the Central Army of the Jin Kingdom, kept accelerating and galloped towards the imperial capital, not daring to waste any time.
…………
In the south of Anyang, here in Nanyang County, a big drama is being staged.
Kong Donglai and Nangong Zhi led more than 100,000 rout troops from Nanyang County, plus some "Jin soldiers", and fled in a panic; overhead were driven by planes, and bombs were dropped from time to time; explode.
In the rear, Yan Zhengqing, Wang Jian, Yuan Jinjiang and other generals roared, chased and slaughtered "crazily".
However, if the camera zooms in, you will see that the "deserters" are not nervous at all. Although they look messy, they are full of weapons and other things; even some soldiers in Nanyang County are already equipped with guns.
As for the bombs dropped by the planes, they were all empty shells temporarily condensed by spells; the ones that exploded were some explosive packs carried by the soldiers. After igniting a dynamite bag, there is no one within a radius of 50 meters; some fluffy soil will be placed on top of the dynamite bag so that the splashing soil will not hurt people.
As for the "chasing soldiers" in the rear, it's even more ridiculous. All soldiers who are "killed" will be "deceitful". After the army has passed, these "killed" soldiers will get up, and some generals will straighten up these soldiers and move on; then these soldiers will quietly integrate into the "chasing soldiers".
This big drama started from Xiandaihe, went all the way south, and chased after "Jin Guo Zhenwei General Chen Zhongping". In just half a day, the two sides traveled across three hundred miles (Anyang provided a large number of accelerated low-level talismans), approaching the place where Chen Zhongping was hiding.
By the way, what is Chen Zhongping doing?
General Chen Zhongping was complaining. Since the plane was discovered half a day ago, General Chen ordered his army of millions, but actually only 550,000 troops dug three feet to hide himself. According to Chen Zhongping's thinking, there are always bombs - just like food and grass. Now that the war has been fought, how many bombs can he still have left in Anyang. So, I will honestly let you bombard me.
It would be wishful thinking to say this idea; this is the gap between Chen Zhongping and Li Lisong. Li Lisong was marching against the bombing at the beginning, but just let the soldiers disperse to reduce losses. After approaching Anyang's defense line, they tore through Anyang's defense line in one fell swoop.
Marshal Li Lisong thought and did the same, and he was close to success; it was only because he had two pig teammates that Li Lisong failed.
As for Chen Zhongping's digging three feet into the ground, it should be said that there is still a certain defensive effect. However, after all the preparations were made, General Chen Zhongping found to his dismay that although there were planes flying around and investigating from time to time in the sky, there was no large fleet of planes coming to bomb.
Something is wrong with this situation!
Chen Zhongping finally had a bit of general talent. There was no plane bombing in the sky. Chen Zhongping was not lucky, but suspected—is there something wrong?
Chen Zhongping, who was on his own, could only strengthen himself. Although he also had counselors and military advisers under his command, it was Chen Zhongping himself who made the final decision. Chen Zhongping was capable, and he was also one of the four generals of the Jin Kingdom, but after all, he was only a general, not a commander like Li Lisong.
"Send scouts to expand the detection range to two hundred miles to prevent a large encirclement."
Two hundred miles is actually not very big; if there are really millions of troops coming to besiege, it is really normal to spread two hundred miles.
After waiting for an hour and a half, the scouts returned: "General, we found the situation ahead. The coalition forces of Nanyang County and our Jin State seem to be routing, and the soldiers of Dongyuan County and Anyang County are chasing and killing them crazily; the planes are bombing Nanyang The collapse of the county and our Jin State. The bombing was very tragic.
It is suspected that Dongyuan County suddenly rebelled, leading to the defeat of the army. "
The scout was very responsible and described everything he saw clearly.
"Oh, it turns out that the plane bombed the army." Chen Zhongping was not anxious, but asked very carefully, "Did you see Commander Li Lisong?"
"I didn't see the commander-in-chief, but I saw the commander-in-chief's banner and guards. The commander-in-chief seems to be a bit broken."
"Where is the handsome flag?"
"The rear seems to be in the rear position. It is juxtaposed with the flag of Kong Donglai, the governor of Nanyang County."
Chen Zhongping asked many more questions, and the scouts answered them one by one; some of these questions seemed a little wrong, but thinking of the possible reasons for the defeat of the army, Chen Zhongping didn't go into it too deeply. After a little consideration, he prepared to raise his troops to the north to meet the commander in chief.
But at this moment, another soldier pointed to the south and shouted, "General, Fenghuo, Fenghuo!"
"Fenghuo?!" Chen Zhongping's expression changed immediately. "Benghuo" is never a good word, because there is a beacon fire, which means a difficult battle, and it is often a battle with tens of thousands of corpses and bloodshed.
What's more, in a foreign country, was the beacon lit by the Jin State, or by Nanyang County?
Chen Zhongping looked up, saw the strong, unique, and unique beacon, and immediately concluded that this was the beacon of Jin! Compared with the beacon fire of the Great Xia Kingdom on the border of Nanyang County, the beacon fire of the Jin Kingdom has a dark red color.
But then Chen Zhongping began to wonder: now that Daxia is in turmoil, it is impossible to be able to attack Jin. There are only Dongyuan County and Nanyang County around here; there is Guangling County in the west. If Guangling County invaded, the beacon fire would not spread here.
Since the Great Xia Kingdom has no ability to attack the Jin Kingdom, why did they light the flames? Fenghuo is not something that can be ordered casually.
Wait, there is another possibility, this is someone who specially delivered the information for me! Chen Zhongping suddenly woke up.
So who has the right to ignite the flames to send messages? The answer immediately appeared in Chen Zhongping's mind - Li Lisong, commander in chief of the Chinese army!
In an instant, a scene was pieced together in Chen Zhongping's mind: Marshal Li Lisong led an army of 300,000 to the north, but was ambushed, unfamiliar with the place, and went deep alone, and was finally surrounded by a million troops from the Great Xia Kingdom; After fighting bloody battles, he only had time to lead a few soldiers to flee south.
After fleeing to the border of Jin State, Li Lisong learned that he led his troops to the north; because of the long distance, Li Lisong needed to go to Beijing to meet the saint, so he could only notify himself by lighting a beacon. Fenghuo transmits information very quickly, and it only takes one or two hours to transmit hundreds of miles.
Chen Zhongping's speculation was full of loopholes and mistakes; but the final result turned out to be correct - this was not a coincidence, but the wisdom and intuition of a general. Since Li Lisong chose Fenghuo to send messages, he naturally had to consider Chen Zhongping's ability to "interpret".
Chen Zhongping's eyes suddenly sharpened, "So, there is only one conclusion, those soldiers who are being routed are fake, and the flag of Commander Li Lisong is the biggest loophole.
In this way, the three families of Nanyang County, Dongyuan County and Anyang County joined forces and swallowed the 300,000 troops of Jin State in one go! hiss……
Could it be...Could it be...this incident was a trap from beginning to end, did these three counties take the opportunity to weaken the state of Jin? "
General Chen's thinking diverged so much that he thought so far-reachingly. But this doesn't affect General Chen's tricks - you pretend to be defeated, right? Then I will "accept" you generously.
However, General Chen saw the beacon, and Kong Donglai, Nan Gongzhi, Yuan Jinjiang, Yan Zhengqing, Wang Jian and others also saw the beacon.
"Stop!" Yan Zhengqing's eyes were as deep as water, "The beacon fire message, this must be the method of Li Lisong, the commander of the Central Army of Jin who has fled."
Everyone knew that Li Lisong had escaped, so they immediately thought of this possibility.
Kong Donglai is not an idiot either, he also reacted immediately, "The plan failed, I never thought that Li Lisong would have such a method, even lighting a beacon to convey the message. Good method!"
"Good trick!" Nangong Zhi and Yuan Jinjiang also exclaimed together. It is indeed a good method.
"What should we do now?" Kong Dong looked at Yan Zhengqing. Now the three are united, but everyone knows that Anyang is in the lead. What's more, Yan Zhengqing has already won respect with countless lives and successive victories - the respect of the commander's ability.
Seeing from everyone's point of view, Yan Zhengqing made a decision after a little thought, "Be an upright and upright teacher, and confront each other head-on!
When we confront each other head-on, the Jin army can only arrange troops; and the formation of troops requires a dense formation, which gives the opportunity for plane bombing, as well as opportunities for machine guns and artillery to show off their power. "
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, "Okay!"
Nangong Zhi added: "According to the investigation, the Jin Kingdom is estimated to have an army of 500,000 to 600,000 this time, and it seems that they really want to wipe out our Great Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop, with wolfish ambitions.
We also have an army of 500,000 here, as well as aircraft, artillery, guns, and a large number of talismans supported by Anyang, so we can fight a tough battle.
Since ancient times, there is a saying in the art of war, "Use justice to win with surprise". We want to start a confrontation with an upright and upright army, and use airplanes, munitions, etc. as new strategies.
But I have one thing to add. Didn’t the enemy dig three feet into the ground and hide in the ground? Let the planes bomb first, so that they could not reorganize the team, and we took the opportunity to speed up the march and cover up the past.
When the plane left, we just killed it; but the enemy could not form a battle formation, and could only be driven by us all over the mountains and plains. "
After several wars, the military generals of the Great Xia Kingdom are rapidly maturing. A general, a general, is not called a general if he does not fight, at most he is a theoretician who talks about war on paper. But after several large-scale wars and several sufferings, some outstanding generals and commanders began to stand out. Nangong Zhi is such a handsome talent!
Yan Zhengqing glanced at Nangong Zhi, nodded slightly, "It's good, but it's not enough. Send elite soldiers, mainly those above the Foundation Establishment Stage, with machine guns and a large number of talismans, to form a commando to attack the opponent, and the sky Aircraft cooperate with each other and have a high potential to disrupt the enemy."
Shen Jianfei and Yang Yishan suddenly came out and said in unison: "General, I'll go!"
Seeing that Anyang has such a strong general, the people from Nanyang County and Dongyuan County... stopped talking - they became pig teammates again at the critical moment.
