Chapter 587 This Is Totally Nonsense

After returning to the barracks, Song Hu began to assemble the cavalry in the army according to Zhao Wen's order.

After gathering the [-] cavalry, Song Hu arranged them properly, and then went back to the camp to sleep.

Early the next morning, Song Hu marched towards Henan with [-] cavalry.

At this time, Chongzhen's imperial decree had been passed on to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting stood in the front yard of the governor's office. After sending off the officials who came to read out the decree, he came to the study with the decree.

Sun Chuanting spread the imperial decree on the desk, and copied down the key contents above.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting put down the brush in his hand and took the content he copied in his hand.

"Guerrilla warfare probably won't work. Although the recruits I trained are much better than guard soldiers, it hasn't been long since these soldiers threw away their hoes.

These soldiers had never fought against the soldiers of Xuanzhen. If they were broken up into parts according to the order of the court, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers.

Moreover, even if it is broken into parts, it may not be Zhao thief's opponent.

The weapons in the hands of the soldiers are not as good as those in the hands of the Zhao thief. Without the restraint of the officers, it is estimated that no soldier would dare to attack Zhao thief's soldiers after two downfalls.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that every officer is loyal. Although these officers in the army seem to be normal now, who knows what kind of thoughts they will have after fighting Zhao thief.

What if these officers see Bandit Zhao's power and lead their men to seek refuge with Bandit Zhao, what should they do then?

The soldiers and horses gathered together, and the officers were under my eyelids, so it was easy to communicate and manage.If any officer has a double heart, he will soon be able to detect it.

If it is broken down into parts, wouldn't it be a wandering soldier?How will the military order be conveyed at that time?How should officers and soldiers be restrained?

The person who came up with this method is not afraid that I will disperse the soldiers with my front feet, and these soldiers will run away with their back feet? "

Sun Chuanting looked at the content in his hand, and frowned tightly.

"Soldiers and horses are easy to gather and not easy to disperse. This is the same truth throughout the ages. Which nerd came up with such a bad idea. How could it be so ridiculous?" Sun Chuanting slapped the paper in his hand on the desk and cursed.

What Sun Chuanting said is very reasonable. Wars in ancient times are not future generations. In the age without wireless communication, it is a stupid move to break up the soldiers and horses under your command.

Once all the troops under his command are scattered, at the beginning, the general who leads the army can still know where his troops are, but after several battles, especially after defeat, the general who leads the army is likely to know Lost the position of his subordinates.

Once he loses his position under his command, the leading general will have no way to command the soldiers under him, and he will not be able to make a plan for the next step.

If the next plan cannot be formulated, the soldiers under his command can only fight on their own and fight blindly.

This is not the most serious thing, the most serious thing is that once the soldiers and horses in their hands are broken into pieces, then those officers who are not firm in will are likely to surrender with their soldiers or fall into bandits after losing the battle.

Or the soldiers took the opportunity to escape after losing the battle.

Even if there are generals who lead the troops to restrain them, every time there is a battle, some soldiers will run away, let alone be broken into pieces.

Soldiers in ancient times fought wars more for the sake of their own stomachs, and more for eating together.

In addition, Zhao Wen is not from a foreign race, so there is no pressure for these soldiers to surrender to Zhao Wen.

Once the guerrilla warfare fails, it is likely to cause a large number of soldiers to surrender.

Moreover, the soldiers and horses are scattered, and there is no way to supplement supplies, food and salaries. Even if they can be supplemented by then, the cost will not be generally high.

Without enough food and pay, the soldiers and horses that were finally pulled up will collapse.

Sun Chuanting saw this point better than anyone else.

"The latter method is not bad. Although it is a bit ruthless, it can hold Zhao Wen back. The former method is just nonsense and farting. It makes no sense at all.

Once the soldiers and horses are dispersed, it is not so easy to gather together.Although I pulled out 5 horses, as soon as the troops dispersed, the breath in the soldiers' hearts dissipated.

Once the qi dissipates, people will naturally panic.At that time, as long as you suffer one or two defeats, you will be defeated like a mountain, and the [-] army will be gone if you say no at that time!

Moreover, how should I direct the soldiers and horses into zero?What command do I take?Flying pigeons pass on books?This method is simply absurd! "

Sun Chuanting walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Sun Chuanting picked up the paper he had copied, walked out, and came to the front yard.

At this time, Wu Zhen was sitting in the lobby of the front yard sorting out some documents.

Sun Chuanting walked into the hall and handed the paper to Wu Zhen.

"You were not there when the decree was announced just now. This is what I copied out just now. Take a look!" Sun Chuanting looked at Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen took the paper handed over by Sun Chuanting, and squinted his eyes to read it.

"It's farting! The first method is farting, it's completely farting!" Wu Yan just finished reading the first method, and began to curse.

"My lord, I have fought against Zhao Thief's soldiers, and I know the strength of Zhao Thief's soldiers very well.

Not to mention the strength of Zhao thief's soldiers, the way to fight guerrilla warfare is just farting.

From ancient times to the present, no matter when a war is fought, the soldiers and horses in the hands have never been dismantled.

During the Battle of Saerhu that year, Xiong Tingbi dismantled the army in his hands into three groups, and as a result, these three groups of troops were defeated by Jiannu.

Today, we managed to pull up [-] troops, and these [-] troops are deployed on the Yellow River defense line.

If the [-] army were to be dismantled at this time, wouldn't that mean the Yellow River defense line would be handed over to others?In this way, wouldn't the line of defense we spent countless silver builds become a decoration?If I knew it was the same, what defense line did we build back then?

Moreover, once the soldiers and horses in their hands are disassembled, who can guarantee the loyalty of the leading generals?Soldiers and horses are disassembled, what about supplies?Without supplies, these soldiers still have to surrender and run away, so what kind of battle will they fight?

The person who came up with this method is really a waste, who doesn't understand anything and is just doing nothing.Is this how the battle was fought? Wu Xuan pointed to the paper in his hand, and said to Sun Chuanting with a dissatisfied face.

Sun Chuanting let out a long breath, "Who says it's not? Once the troops are divided, Zhao's troops will drive straight into Henan. If there are no soldiers to stop Henan, Henan will be taken by Zhao's troops in an instant. At that time, even if you regret it, it will be too late."

"But this is the decree of the imperial decree. What should we do? If we write the letter at this time, I am afraid it will be too late. According to the report from the spies in front, Zhao thief is less than three days away from the Yellow River defense line. Even if we write the letter, the time is too late." Not enough!

If we obey the will, the soldiers and horses we have managed to pull together will be destroyed.But if you don't obey it, you are resisting the order and not obeying it.Once the war is lost at that time, you and I will definitely go to Caishikou in the capital! "Wu Xuan looked anxiously at Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting frowned tightly, forming a word for Sichuan.

"It's not right to divide the troops, and it's not true to not divide the troops. Why does Your Majesty like to fix this kind of thing? Alas!" Sun Chuanting sighed, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Chongzhen in history liked to do this kind of remote commanding.

The reason why Sun Chuanting was defeated by Li Zicheng in history has a huge relationship with Chongzhen.

At that time, Sun Chuanting's soldiers and horses were exhausted, and the food was not delivered. Sun Chuanting was guarding Tongguan, intending to avoid his edge, supplementing food and soldiers before fighting Li Zicheng.

But Chongzhen's temperament of intervening and commanding was fully exposed at this time. He issued several imperial edicts to force Sun Chuanting to leave the customs for a decisive battle.

Sun Chuanting had no choice but to lead his troops out of the pass for a decisive battle.

As a result, Sun Chuanting was cut off by Li Zicheng because the grain road was too long, and was finally defeated by Li Zicheng.

In the hands of Sun Chuanting is the last elite of the Ming Dynasty, if there is a change, the country of the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

History is so similar. In history, Sun Chuanting held the last elite of Ming Dynasty, was finally persecuted by Chongzhen, and defeated by Li Zicheng.

Now Sun Chuanting still has the last elite of Ming Dynasty in his hands, and was forced by such a bullshit order issued by Chongzhen.

"My lord, what should we do now? What should we do?" Wu Zhen looked at Sun Chuanting anxiously.

Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth, "Let's ignore the first order, let's implement the second order first, and pass on His Majesty's order first, so that all prefectures and counties in Henan will move their food and supplies in the direction of the capital."

Chapter 588

"Now you convey to me the second content of His Majesty's imperial decree to all the prefectures and counties in Henan, so that the officials of all prefectures and counties will regularly transport the food and materials in their respective territories according to the content of the imperial decree, even if they cannot be delivered to the capital. , but also to transport these things out of Henan's territory.

If it can't be transported out, I will burn it.These things must not be left behind. If they were kept, they would definitely fall into the hands of Thief Zhao.Our soldiers and horses are not the opponents of Zhao thief at all, so we can only use this method to delay the speed of Zhao thief's advance. "

Sun Chuanting looked at Wu Tong and said solemnly.

Although the first method in the imperial decree does not make sense, the second method is not bad, but it takes a long time.

Wu Xuan nodded, "I'll make arrangements now."

After Wu Xuan finished speaking, he ran outside.

A few quarters of an hour later, dozens of fast horses ran out of the city of Henan Prefecture.

……

Song Hu galloped non-stop on the ground on his war horse, and behind him were ten thousand lightly dressed cavalry.

"Send down the order, stop moving forward, bury the pot and make food. At the same time, let all the thousands of households come to see me!" Song Hu looked at the sun in the sky, and shouted at the orderly who was following him.

"Obey!" The orderly roared, and then ran towards the back with Song Hu's order.

Song Hu controlled the horse to slow down gradually, and finally pulled the rein of the horse in his hand, and controlled the horse to stop.

The soldiers behind him also gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in an open space.

Song Hu jumped off the horse, and handed over the reins to the guards who followed him.

"My lord, according to our previous news, about 80 li ahead is the first defense line of the Yellow River defense line arranged by Sun Chuanting!" A personal guard pointed to the front and said to Song Hu.

Song Hu nodded, "You are right, we will be able to reach the first line of defense of the Yellow River this afternoon.

This time we came out without heavy weapons. Although these castles on the Yellow River defense line cannot withstand the attack of heavy weapons, it is still difficult for us without heavy weapons to break through these castles in a short while.

This time our task is to go through these castles, break through the defense line, reach the territory of Henan, investigate the military situation, and draw more detailed topographic maps and defense maps.

At the same time, harass the prefectures and counties in Henan and attack the small counties around the Henan prefecture to open the way for the army of Mr. Zongbing! "

Not long after, a curl of cooking smoke rose in the air, and all the soldiers gathered around the fire to eat.

Song Hu was sitting in an open space, surrounded by thousands of households under his command.

"Everyone, our main purpose this time is to bypass all the fortresses of the Yellow River defense line, and the army will break into the Yellow River defense line, harass the prefectures and counties in Henan, and attack the small counties around the Henan prefecture." Song Hu looked around for a week, with a calm expression on his face. Said.

"Follow your lord's order!" Song Hu's Qianhu clapped their hands at Song Hu and said loudly.

Song Hu nodded, "You can go down now. After dinner, go ahead and try to reach the Yellow River defense line before dark. Tomorrow, within a day, let me break through the Yellow River defense line!"

The soldiers under Song Hu's command bowed their hands at him, and then walked down.

A few quarters of an hour later, Song Hu stepped onto the horse.Under his order, the army marched towards the Yellow River defense line.

As the saying goes, if there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.When Song Hu led the 1 horses to rush on the ground, the sound of horseshoes was like thunder in the sky, resounding non-stop.

There is a military fort at the front of the Yellow River defense line. The military fort is not big, that is, the circumference of more than 1000 meters, and there are more than 400 soldiers hoarded inside.

With the order of Zhao Wen's 20 troops to enter Shanxi, the soldiers in the military fort became increasingly tense.

On the walls of the military fort, the soldiers' eyes were fixed on the distance.

The chief of the military fort is a garrison. The official position of this garrison is not a garrison in the Ming army, but a garrison of a military fort. It was set up by Sun Chuanting to lead the soldiers in the military fort.The guard's surname is Sun, and his name is Sun Hai.

Sun Hai stood on the wall of the military castle, surrounded by hundreds of households in the military castle.

"Now Zhao thief has dispatched 20 troops, which is 20 troops. If Zhao thief uses these troops to attack Henan, Henan will fall into Zhao thief's hands in a short time.

We are at the forefront of the Yellow River defense line, and we must shoulder our responsibilities.In the past few days, you have worked harder. If you don’t accept nights in the army, you must send more in time. If there is any trouble around you, report it to me immediately! "Sun Hai looked into the distance and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, my lord. We've been sending out more nights for the past few days. This morning, we sent nearly a hundred more nights. They should be back soon!" A hundred households stood Behind Sun Chenghai, he spoke.

Sun Hai nodded, "Before, Bandit Zhao announced that he was going to be enthroned as emperor. Bandit Zhao's aggressive approach this time probably has something to do with it.

This time, thief Zhao should have pulled out all the soldiers in Xuanzhen.Otherwise, it would be impossible to gather an army of 20.

Bandit Zhao probably wants to take the land of Henan in one fell swoop this time. It is not so easy for us to keep Henan! "

"Hey, the strength of the thief Zhao is not something we can resist at all. If the thief Zhao really comes to the city, what should we do then?" A hundred households looked out of the city with a worried expression, and said sadly.

At this moment, a puff of smoke suddenly appeared outside the city, coming towards the direction of the city.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the smoke, Sun Hai became nervous instantly.

"What is that?" Sun Hai pointed at the smoke and shouted loudly.

Following Sun Chenghai's voice, all the soldiers on the city wall became vigilant.

"My lord, it shouldn't be Zhao's soldiers. Zhao has 20 troops in his hands. If Zhao's night is not taken, it should be more than that." A hundred households squinted their eyes and looked at the smoke that suddenly appeared in front of them.

Sun Haidao: "We can't take it lightly, and order all the defenders on the city wall to cheer up and keep an eye on these people who suddenly appeared."

"As ordered!"

The soldiers standing behind Sun Hai cupped their hands at Sun Chenghai, and then walked along the city wall.

As the smoke got closer and closer, Sun Chenghai finally saw the origin of this group of people.
