Chapter 56: The Sword Points to Shouchun
Since Zhou Tai led his old subordinates to the Yangzhou army, he has frequently led his troops to control warships to rampantly over the Huai River and challenged the Yuan army on the north bank.
During the five days, the two armies fought fiercely for more than ten times.
Zhou Tai led his troops to win ten battles, greatly defeating the spirit of Yuan's army, and increasing the high fighting spirit of the Yangzhou army, which made the morale of the army more and more gathered.
only.
Even though Yuan's army lost consecutive battles and its morale was getting worse, few casualties were found.
Yuan Yao ordered the generals to pretend to be bad at fighting and betrayed their defeat.
Therefore, although Zhou Tai frequently won, he actually had almost no results.
Of course, he is just a new thief. If he made such a brilliant military achievements without rewards, he might be disappointed in everyone's hearts in the future.
For Chen Wen, who has been experienced in the officialdom for a long time, he also understood this truth very well.
Next, Yangzhou Governor Chen Wenci, a secondary official, divided the Huai River defense line and stationed in Zhou Tai's troops, and specially gave him the right to enter the account to discuss military affairs.
As Zhou Tai defeated Yuan's army, Chen Wen also attached great importance to it.
The gift is profound.
But unfortunately, Zhou Tai already had a master.
After being assigned to his camp and gained the unanimous trust of the Yangzhou army, Zhou Tai was overjoyed and felt that the time had come to defeat the Yangzhou army.
Then, he immediately compiled a letter and sent his confidants to quietly carry a light boat around the shore to patrol soldiers, and ran to the north shore without knowing it.
...
Yuan Jun camp.
Big tent.
At this moment, as the letter had arrived, the candle fire that had already been extinguished in the tent was lit again. Yuan Yao picked up the letter and frowned slightly and read it quickly.
"Okay, OK!"
"Youping really didn't disappoint me. It seems that our army defeated the enemy and crossed the river to the south."
For a moment, Yuan Yao was also very happy and shouted.
After a while, the cronies of the thief bowed and said carefully: "Young Master, the leader of Zhou said that with the perfect performance of the young master in the past few days, our military power in Yangzhou doubled every day."
"Even... the leader is now highly treated by Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen."
As the envoy secretly arrived at Yuanying, he conveyed the plan arranged by Zhou Tai to Yuan Yao.
In the early morning two days later, Zhou Tai led his troops and horses to launch a night attack on the main camp of the Yangzhou army to disrupt the enemy's formation.
Afterwards, Yuan's army took this opportunity to cross the Huai River and took the opportunity to launch a general attack, annihilated more than thousands of military forces in one fell swoop.
The thousands of troops arranged on the south bank of the Huai River are almost all the main forces that Chen Wen can mobilize.
If this army was lost here, how could the more than one or two thousand people who stayed in Shouchun alone compete with the prosperous Yuan family?
This battle is also a key battle for whether Yuan’s army can achieve his merits and target Shouchun.
Yuan Yao also took a twelve-minded approach to this battle.
"Okay! You go down and rest first. When I defeat the enemy, you will be able to do your best."
"Thank you, Master."
After the visitor told the plan of this trip truthfully, Yuan Yao waved his hand and walked back.
...
Two days later.
At this moment, the Huai River was as dark as a silhouette, making the surrounding land and river water dark, as if it was covered with black fog.
It was only ten hours before the middle hour, which made the two sides silent. In addition to being responsible for patrol along the coast, the rest of the soldiers on both sides also fell asleep.
But things went against my expectations.
North Shore.
At this moment, a group of Yuan soldiers stood in armor in the dark night, fully armed with arms, lined up against the river wind, with a strong sense of enthusiasm and excitement on their faces.
Because, now, Mr. Yuan, whom they respect the most, stood in front of them, and immediately crossed the river with great confidence. Then he launched a general attack on the enemy on the other side, annihilated the enemy in one fell swoop, and achieved all his achievements in one battle!
After hearing this news, the entire army was extremely excited.
The battle has been unfavorable for several days, which has also made them extremely irritated.
It has a significant impact on the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers.
Now, Yuan Yao suddenly announced that he would wipe out all the enemies.
How could it not cause excitement among all soldiers in the army?
"Sir, our army has fought more than ten fierce battles with the enemy over the past few days and has deceived defeat for ten battles. It has made the enemy on the other side arrogant and has also endured too much anger in your heart to vent."
"I know that it is extremely difficult to make all the iron-blooded men suppress their anger, but you have done it. The task of fraud was completed extremely well, and it did not allow the enemy to see any flaws, nor did it disappoint me. You are all good."
At this moment, Yuan Yao was also wearing a fiery red military uniform, with a sword hanging on his waist, and his extremely handsome and elegant face on it also showed a Confucian general's style, which was so majestic.
He was showing an excited state at this moment and giving a passionate speech, encouraging the morale and morale of the entire army.
When it comes to "fake defeat", the soldiers from various units are also shocked at this time.
Then, he couldn't help but whisper.
"This... the battle in recent days has actually been a fraudulent defeat?"
"It was the young master who did it on purpose?"
"What are the plans of the young master to defeat the enemy?"
For a moment, the soldiers seemed to be in doubt deep down, full of déjà vu "100,000 Whys".
Talk for a long time.
While observing the reactions of the soldiers, Yuan Yao was happy and shouted loudly again: "You have been patient and endured the anger for many days. Then tonight will be our army's counterattack and a counterattack battle."
"Whether our army can achieve success in one battle, and aim at Shouchun, this battle is extremely critical."
With a very inspiring shout, Yuan Yao immediately waved: "Tonight, kill me!"
"Kill, kill all the enemy..."
Suddenly, a murderous aura gradually emanated from the Yuan army's formation.
A strong aura, the fearless roar seemed to shatter the eardrums, making people feel instinctively afraid.
With some encouragement, Yuan Jun’s morale is available.
The next second, Yuan Yao issued combat orders without hesitation, and all units of the army began to cross the river one by one.
When crossing the river this time, Yuan Yao took Ji Ling and Huang Zhong as the front line and led the crowd to the south bank first, forming a force of internal and external cooperation with Zhou Tai's troops, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy's camp.
It was not until this moment that Yuan Yao confessed to the generals that Zhou Tai's troops were just internal supporters from beginning to end.
What about joining the Yangzhou army? Ten battles and ten victories were just Yuan Yao’s design.
In fact, Zhou Tai had already secretly decided to submit to Yuan Jun.
When Yuan Yao said bluntly that he had conquered the gang of water thieves, the soldiers in the army seemed to have changed their eyes when they looked at him, as if they were even more fanatical.
"The young master is really what everyone wants to return. When he first arrived, he made all the thieves surrender."
“Yes, yes…”
"Young Master should be the son of destiny!"
At this moment, Cui Zhouping took the opportunity to praise him, which once again caused the morale of the soldiers in the entire army to rise, and he was eager to fight and fell into fanaticism.
At this moment, the entire army seemed to have forgotten that the Han emperor was still there.
