Chapter 292 Wang Guoan's Strategy
After listening to the words of his generals, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.
After opening his eyes, he spoke to everyone.
"In that case, let's fight!"
"I also want to see how much power the North has accumulated in this year."
Having said that, Jiang Chen turned and looked at Du Mingyu and Han Zhong standing beside him.
"Du Mingyu, Han Zhong, Han Zhong's troops will serve as the vanguard this time."
"As for Xiong Kehui, you are responsible for leading 50,000 troops to garrison Xusong."
Following Jiang Chen's order, Du Mingyu and the other three bowed and accepted the order.
"I obey your orders!"
I have to say that Jiang Chen's decisions sound very unreasonable.
Instead of using the 50,000 most mobile cavalry, Han Zhong's 50,000 troops, which were all infantry, were sent to serve as the vanguard.
But in fact, Jiang Chen's arrangement is the most reasonable.
This can be seen from the attack on the capital of Xu Song State...
If most of the defenders in the capital of Xu Song had not been taken away by Chang Yuchun.
Maybe it would be impossible for Jiang Chen and his men to capture the capital of Xu Song so easily.
Therefore, in the following battles with Beiming and Qi.
The infantry under Han Zhong and Du Mingyu are the main force!
As for the 50,000 troops brought by Xiong Kehui, they must take the responsibility of defending the capital of Xu Song and several nearby counties!
After all, in Menquan County, Xu Xiao and his 40,000 troops were eyeing them covetously.
Not only that, according to the latest news obtained by "Ant Hole".
At this time, Xu Xiao had already started recruiting soldiers and horses, that is to say.
What Xiong Kehui is about to face may be more than just 40,000 troops!
But Jiang Chen was not too worried about all this.
He felt very relieved to leave the rear area to Xiong Kehui, who was known for his "good defense".
And so, after the entire army rested for a day.
Jiang Chen appointed Han Zhong as the vanguard and Du Mingyu's troops as the rearguard.
He took Prime Minister Huo and 50,000 northern cavalry to serve as the central army.
The three armies marched at the same time, heading towards the territory in the north of Xu Song State that was occupied by the coalition forces of the two countries!
Soon, the news that Jiang Chen had led an army of 150,000 to attack reached Xianghong County, which was on the front line.
The person in charge of garrisoning in this county is the Northern Ming general Wang Guoan!
Although this person was not very famous originally, after Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne.
His name then became famous and continued to appear in the eyes of the world.
At the same time, the Northern Ming army also began to move forward under the leadership of him and two others.
Allied with Qi State, they took back half of Ming State's territory from Xu Xiao.
This forced Xu Xiao to compromise and retain the last half of the territory.
Help them Beiming and Qi to plot against Jiang Chen together.
But none of them expected that this time their plan would not succeed.
Jiang Chen saw through their tricks and they lost tens of thousands of troops in vain!
It can be said that both the wife and the army were lost.
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Wang Guoan covered his head with his hands with a worried look on his face.
In just four days, the Xianghong County where he was stationed had lost half of its territory.
"The generals under Jiang Chen are quite capable..."
"We can't go on like this. If we continue like this."
"Not only will Xianghong County be lost, but the morale of the entire coalition will also suffer a devastating blow."
As Wang Guoan spoke, he looked at a young man in white shirt next to him.
"Master Bai, tell me, how can I deal with Jiang Chen's army?"
In response to Wang Guoan's question, the young man in white smiled and answered.
"General Wang, there is no need to worry. Jiang Chen's army is coming with great force."
"But they are fighting across the border. Their supplies may not be able to keep up with the speed of their army's attack."
"In this case, we only need to destroy their food supplies."
"Send a small force to attack their food supply routes within half a month."
"Jiang Chen's army will retreat back to Xu Song in disgrace."
After hearing what the young man in white said, Wang Guoan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hahaha, Master Bai is worthy of being the chief think tank beside His Majesty!"
"Come here, let's follow Master Bai's plan."
Following Wang Guoan's order, several generals bowed and accepted the order.
"I will obey your orders."
At the same time, in Bailin County of Xianghong County .
Han Zhong led his army to meet the central army led by Jiang Chen.
"General Han Zhong greets the lord."
Looking at the imposing Han Zhong, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, dismounted and helped him up.
"Hahaha, Han Zhong, you really opened my eyes!"
"In just four days, we have already captured seven county towns."
"At this rate, Xianghong County will fall into our hands in less than five days."
Facing Jiang Chen's praise, Han Zhong did not feel proud.
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Han Zhong quickly spoke to Jiang Chen.
"My Lord, I feel like everything has been going so smoothly for us along the way."
"I'm afraid the coalition forces of Beiming and Qi will be even more difficult to deal with next."
Hearing what Han Zhong said, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
Han Zhong was right. The war had been going too smoothly in the past few days.
This situation is not a good thing. The enemy may deal them a devastating blow in the next second.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen began to ponder.
He must come up with a countermeasure before Beiming and Qi take any action.
After entering the Bailin County government office, Jiang Chen called Han Zhong and Han Zhong over.
"My lord, according to the current situation."
"Next, Wang Guoan will definitely take action to stop our offensive."
"And the point about our army that is most likely to be exploited by them is..."
Having said that, Prime Minister Huo pointed to the grain transportation route on the sand table nearby.
"It's our army's food transportation route!"
As Huo Xiang finished speaking, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
"Yes, if they wish to hinder our advance."
"The only thing we can target is our food transportation routes and granaries!"
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he turned to Huo Xiang who was standing beside him and said.
"In that case, let's take advantage of the situation."
"Han Zhong, hide all our food and fodder immediately."
"Replace all the food and grass with useless straw."
"Besides that, as for the transport teams, you just..."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen leaned close to Huo Xiang's ear and whispered something.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Huo Xiang bowed and took the order and retreated.
Looking at Huo Xiang and Han Zhong leaving, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"Wang Guoan, Wang Guoan, I would like to see it ."
"What else can you Beiming and Qi think of to stop me?"
Jiang Chen, who possessed the wisdom and memories of his ancestors , was looking forward to the next fight with Wang Guoan.
I just don't know what the outcome of this confrontation will be...
As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Chen walked back to his bedroom and slowly fell asleep under the care of Su Qingcheng.
