Chapter 1428 Attack(1/2)
Two charcoal basins were built in the room, which was very warm.
Han Qi was the first to enter, and as soon as he entered the door, he praised: "Warm!"
Chen An frowned after coming in, "Who are you trying to suffocate to death? Open the door!"
Han Qi smiled and said, "Yes, I forgot about this. However, the iron stove you made was really good last time. I burned several of them at my home in Beijing."
This is such a rich man!
Chen An complained in his heart, sat down and ordered: "Hang up the map."
Han Qi was the commander of this battle, but he only cared about macro affairs.
Someone hung the map on the wall. Chen An reached out to grill it on the charcoal basin for a while, got up and walked over, holding a branch to explain his thoughts.
"In this battle, our middle army should have been in the middle of Weizhou and Yanzhou, divided into two groups, and captured Weizhou and Hongzhou at the same time."
This was the previous strategy, but now the army has arrived at the right side of Weizhou and Yanzhou.
"The Xixia people received the news. At this moment, the border areas must be on high alert. Our army will pay a considerable price to attack Weizhou and Yanzhou forcing us to do so."
This is inevitable.
Chen An continued, "So before leaving, I discussed with the official and Han Xiang, let's change the place..."
He pointed the branches ahead.
"Hongzhou?"
"Yes, Hongzhou!"
Someone asked: "Monday, but the enemy troops in Weizhou and Yanzhou will notice it, right?"
The army has been moved away. If the Western Xia scouts were bull pens, they might find out the news. When they find that the Song army is gone, they may remind Hongzhou.
Chen An smiled, "So Han Xiang and I walked slowly behind, just staying in Huan County."
He and Han Qi led the cavalry all the way to the northwest, and still walked around Huanzhou first to ensure that the enemy believed that the middle army was still advancing from here.
The man suddenly realized, "Han Xiang and you came forward. Of course, the enemy thought that our middle army was still here, so he was on guard. But who would have thought we were going to attack Hongzhou?"
"This battle should be quick."
Chen An said, "The infantry will prepare immediately and then set off."
"So urgent?"
Although Han Qi knew Chen An’s plan, he had many concerns.
"Your plan seems good, but you're afraid of something going wrong." Han Qi frowned and said, "According to my opinion, you should do it steadily."
Chen An said: "The people of Xixia also thought we would fight steadily. At this time, we would be able to use surprise troops."
"The soldiers are inconsistent!"
Han Qi nodded, "Forget it, you still trust the military officers and I. So be prepared."
"yes."
Chen An looked at Wang Zhenchao, "Does Wang Junzhu have something to say?"
Wang Zhenchao was the commander of the infantry and had the right to speak.
But after he got up, his forehead was sweating.
"Is it very hot?" Chen An asked with a smile, very kind.
There are two charcoal basins in the house, and the charcoal fire is very strong.
But the door was halfway open, and the little wind blew in, but it was still chilly.
Everyone also found it strange.
Someone even touched his forehead and felt that it was not hot at all. I don’t know where Wang Zhenchao sweated.
Wang Zhenchao felt that Chen An asked him a pun, not only asking him what he thought of this plan, but also asking him why he wanted to scold him.
In front of everyone, he bowed: "The lower official said rudely before, and offended the county magistrate, and was guilty."
As he said that, he knelt down.
"What does this mean?"
Chen An said lightly: "I'm asking you what you think about this battle, why is it like this? Get up quickly."
But the more he said this, the more scared Wang Zhenchao became, "The subordinate officials are guilty and beg the county officials to punish him."
Look at Chen An’s smiling face, it’s really frustrating!
Who said he was convinced by virtue?
Wang Zhenchao used most of his life to swear that Chen An seemed not to be compelling people with virtue, but to be vengeful.
Someone whispered behind Han Qi about what happened before they came, and Han Qi's eyes turned cold and he didn't care.
Cao Qi and Zhe Kexing stood in the corner, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel happy.
Cao Qi whispered: "I'm swearing in front of me, but now I'm shocked by An Bei's words. It can be seen that no one with ability dares to bully him."
Zhe Kexing nodded.
"I know."
Chen An seemed very generous, but Wang Zhenchao was nervous.
Someone got it.
But I didn't say how to punish you.
So the punishment was hung on Wang Zhenchao's head and would fall down at any time.
Chen An had no time to care about this at this moment, so he ordered: "The infantry set off immediately and headed to the Great Wall Ridge."
The infantry is slow and if they don't set out in advance, they will be pulled behind by the cavalry.
Wang Zhenchao took the order and respectfully retreated. Then shouts came from outside and gradually moved away.
Han Qi nodded slightly, feeling that Chen An's move was amazing.
Wang Zhenchao was scolding and scolding him. With this, he could get rid of him, but Chen An was still unresolved, so Wang Zhenchao was uneasy. This battle would inevitably be respectful. Chen An said that he would never dare to go one inch east.
This young man is really mature!
The next day, when it was dawn, Chen An said goodbye to Han Qi and led his army to set off.
The cavalry traveled slowly all the way, and it was necessary to raise horsepower.
If the cavalry moves slowly, they are actually not as fast as the infantry.
When we saw the Great Wall Ridge, the cavalry and infantry would reconcile.
There are several place names for Great Wall Ridge, and the one in front of you is considered the most remote.
The weather was a little cloudy, and Chen An stood under the slope, holding a telescope in his hand.
Wang Zhenchao looked at Chen An at this moment and felt a little scared. He approached and bowed, "Monday, the subordinates are quite good scouts. They can touch them and kill those Xixia people quietly."
This is a long mountain range. I don’t know if there are any Xixia people staring at it, but Chen An judged that there is.
He shook his head, "Someone has already set out."
Wang Zhenchao smiled and said, "It's good that the county duke must be a good player, so that the news will be obtained tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
Chen An frowned.
Wang Zhenchao said, "Yes! If you touch it from here, you have to slowly look for the enemy army. If you don't do it well, you will be discovered, so it would be nice to come back tomorrow."
The scouts had to find a safe passage for the army, so the task was very heavy.
Wang Zhenchao is a veteran, so he naturally knows that this kind of thing takes a lot of time.
"Is the whole army resting like this?"
This advice is very professional.
Since I'm coming back tomorrow, I'd better take the opportunity to take a break now!
Chen An shook his head, "Sent orders to the whole army to rest for meals, but tents should not be built."
Well!
Wang Zhenchao felt that this order was probably something wrong, "Monday Duke..."
"Assuming orders!"
Chen An's expression turned cold, and Wang Zhenchao had to go.
The people behind him were muttering, "After this, we have to attack Hongzhou when we look back. How can we attack without resting?"
Wang Zhenchao could only smile bitterly.
He offended Chen An, for fear of being worn with small shoes, but he did not dare to scold him anymore.
