Chapter 39
War is actually about the ability to seize opportunities. If you can seize this opportunity, victory is not far away.
The premise is that your soldiers must be tough enough.
Wang Buxu waited for a full month before he got the opportunity to attack Xingyang.
Zhou Wen wiped his neck in Mianchi, about three hundred miles west of Xingyang, and solved the problem himself.
This battle was really a useless one for him.
Just when things were going well, Zhang Han suddenly came out of the mountains with an army of 600,000 tigers and fought hard for three months in Xidi (now Lintong).
Zhou Wen, who went deep alone, could not get any reinforcements at all, and then had to retreat to Caoyang Pavilion, where he fought with the pursuing Zhang Han for more than ten days.
Undefeated, Zhou Wen continued to retreat to Mianchi, where there was another ten days of fierce fighting. Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhou Wen lost all his troops and finally ended his life of failure.
During this period, Wang Buxu kept sending scouts to the west to inquire for information. It is almost certain that in the current troubled times, the one who uses the scouts most frequently is Wang Buxu.
Zhou Wen was defeated, so Wang Buxu began to recruit troops. Chen Tieshan's 5,000 elite troops were then joined by 5,000 new soldiers, forming a total army of 10,000 to prepare for the expedition to Xingyang.
Wu Guang was clearly unable to defeat Wu Guang, and after hearing the news of Zhou Wen's defeat, his combat ideas gradually diverged.
In fact, Wang Buxu supported Tian Zang in the battle.
There is no one in front to carry the thunder. They have been fighting for three months and have not captured Xingyang. Is it possible that they can win if they continue to persist?
After Zhang Han's army arrives, it will be even more impossible for Xingyang to follow you.
"Sir, Wu Guang is dead, and Wu Guang's army is in chaos!"
"Who did it?" Before setting off for the expedition, Wang Buxu suddenly received the news of Wu Guang's death.
Although it was expected, there was still some sadness in my heart.
"Tian Zang, it is said that Tian Zang killed Wu Guang on Chen Sheng's instructions!"
Wang Buxu quietly raised his head and looked at the night sky, thinking seriously.
The plan had already been made, and now all he needed to consider was whether to do it or not.
In the past two months, the strength of Wang Buxu's side has been increasing day by day, with the total strength reaching 100,000, many of whom came here after hearing the summons.
What's more, they even brought their own weapons, which really made Wang Buhung a lot less worried.
"There are currently more than 30,000 Wu Guang's troops left. Wu Guang loves people, often gets along with the soldiers, and is deeply respected by the soldiers. If the young master decides to send troops, it will not be difficult to subdue these would-be soldiers!" Zhang Liang saw Wang Buxu's thoughts,
I couldn't help but speak.
Wang Buxu divided the troops into several different levels. Those who are capable of fighting independently are called soldiers, while new soldiers who enter the camp are called new soldiers.
People with military background are classified as quasi-soldiers. These people will become soldiers after a period of training, mainly in discipline training.
Wu Guang's death directly led to the decline of Zhang Chu's regime, and several of the brothers he had sent before proclaimed themselves kings.
Although Chen Sheng was almost furious, he finally had to follow the advice of his advisers, treat their families well, and recognize their status.
But even so, it still could not prevent the demise of Zhang Chu's regime.
People’s hearts have become cold, where can they be saved?
Since it cannot be saved, why would you sit back and watch others swallow this power and become your enemy in the future?
"Chen Tieshan!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"You personally lead an army of 10,000 people and ambush outside Xingyang City at night. If the Xingyang defenders leave the city to pursue them, you will contact the troops inside to take advantage of the situation. If no troops are sent before dawn, proceed as planned!" Wang Buxu said with a look on his face!
Serious way.
"promise!"
"ovary!"
"Master!"
"You are in charge of Aocang. I have left fifty thousand troops for you. You must ensure that Aocang is not lost."
"promise!"
"I will personally lead an army of 40,000 people to capture Wu Guang's army first, and then enter Xingyang. After a short stay, I will bring out at least 30,000 soldiers and horses as a maneuver. Two cities and one maneuver will form the horns of each other."
"promise!"
After a simple distribution, everyone performed their duties. Even Chen Tieshan, who had the smallest number of troops, did not feel flustered at the moment.
It is not difficult to attack Xingyang, they are just tired soldiers.
Moreover, they have internal support. According to the current situation, as long as these ten thousand people can sneak into Xingyang, the Qin army will almost be unable to defend it.
Even the thought of defense will be lost.
And after taking down Xingyang, not to mention devouring more than 20,000 defenders, it was almost time to recover until Zhang Han arrived.
At that time, Wang Buxi only needs to leave 10,000 people in the city, and the total number here will be more than 40,000 people. With so many people, can't they defend Xingyang?
Doesn't exist!
But Wang Buxu's mobile troops are the real trump card.
The two cities resisted desperately, but Wang Buxu kept stealing from the rear, which made it unstable for the army and made it difficult to fight. Even normal rations could not be guaranteed, and then they all survived.
The seemingly rigorous situation, under Wang Buxu's arrangement, actually made everyone feel that they were bound to win.
Even if there are more than 500,000 people on the opposite side, and the enemy's own strength is only 150,000, this still includes Wu Guangjun and the Xingyang defenders.
"Sir, can you think of an excuse?" Zhang Liang reminded. He had been thinking about it, but couldn't seem to find any better excuse.
"What excuse do you want?" Wang Buxian was stunned for a moment.
"No matter what, Wu Guangjun is Chen Sheng's man. Even if Zhou Wen is defeated in the front, Chen Sheng is still the vanguard of today's anti-Qin forces. If the young master swallows these 30,000 people without any reason, I am afraid it will arouse the anger of the world.
It is not good for the future of the young master." Zhang Liang said.
Wang Buxu thought about it for a while, did his teacher have a reputation?
Well, that seems to be the case. Whenever we send troops, we always need to find a suitable reason and then make people think that they have to send troops.
The only ones who don't have to do this are those robbers in later generations. People think they are strong. I can hit whoever I want and how I want to fight. I set the rules. If one day I feel that it is getting in my way, I will retreat.
The group is over, but you can't quit, you have to abide by it, otherwise it will be shameless, despicable, greedy... um, just joining in...
"I regard Wu Guang as my elder brother. Now, without King Chen's order, Tian Zang launched a military coup to kill my elder brother. Is this reason enough?" Wang Buxu looked at Zhang Liang.
"That's enough! It's just a bit unrealistic. There is no corresponding evidence." Zhang Liang scratched his head.
"What evidence do you need? It's not like Tian Zang has never been to Aocang. Did I treat him well when he came? If my brother hadn't been here, why would Zhang Chu want to take grain from me? His face would be so white."
Hearing Wang Buxu's shamelessness, Zhang Liang suddenly laughed, and raised his hands towards Wang Buxu with admiration on his face: "If you are talking about calculations, it is the young master who is bad and bad. I have found the reason from the beginning.
Admire! Admire!”
