Chapter 870 Decisive Battle at Siping Mountain

"Your Majesty, have you sent troops to intercept Li Zitong and Chen Dang's second division?" Luo Lin asked at the defeated soldiers who were constantly dispersing towards the city.

Chen Kefu smiled and shook his head: "No need to do this. At this time, send troops to intercept and kill them. Li Zitong and others will fight to the trapped beasts, and they will fight to the death with us. It is better to let them have more luck in their hearts and let them continue to escape. We just need to continue driving behind, drive away these defeated soldiers, and just go to meet with the falling geese. Then we will catch them all in one go."

When talking about the falling geese, a trace of determination flashed in Chen Kefu's eyes. He never thought that his cousin could have such ability to survive Shen Faxing and the Shen family's brothers could still be alone in supporting the southeast sky when Shen Faxing died and the Shen family's brothers were in a civil turmoil.

Occasionally, Chen Kefu would even think that if Chen Luoyan gave him a little more chance, maybe this uncle-cous cousin who had met several times would become the first queen in this time and space. His Highness, the Regent Princess of Wu, haha. When he thought of this title, he couldn't help but sneer. Chen Luoyan is indeed talented, but if she refuses to surrender and cannot be used by him, then no matter how heroine she is, he will eventually destroy her with his own hands.

General Chen Lei, who was standing beside him, said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Chen Ni is full of tricks. If Li Zitong and the others meet with Chen Ni, wouldn't it strengthen Chen Ni's momentum and add some difficulties to ease them in vain?"

"Hahaha."

A burst of laughter sounded, and the generals on the city were laughing. The people on the city were all senior generals, even like Chen Jie, the prime minister who is now one of the nine ministers. I thought that he was also the deputy commander of the Pojun Camp. He was coming and going in bloody times and storms again and again. Chen Lei's worries seemed to them to be the difference between a real soldier and a guard.

Perhaps Chen Lei was a good guard and had been following the emperor for many years, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, he is far from being apart.

"General Yulin, you don't know anything about this. Sometimes when fighting, you fight a trend. Now, this trend is on our side, like a prairie fire. In the fire scene, whoever stands in the limelight will be the winner." Chen Jie smiled slightly.

"What does it mean?" Chen Lei never led his troops to the battlefield alone, even if he had never even a battalion or regiment. He was the emperor's guard officer. He was responsible for defending the emperor in close proximity.

Chen Kefu's first guard officer, now the Duke of Hailing County, General Yunqi, General of the Town Army, and Luo Lin, the governor of Shandong, glanced at his junior and explained to him with a smile: "We all know that Chen Luoyan had previously recruited a large number of miscellaneous old and weak people, and finally gathered 350,000 troops to send troops to Jianghan. After running back halfway, he left about 50,000 troops in Jiangxia and Jiujiang and other counties. Therefore, the Wu army brought back by the entire Jiangdong Shen Luoyan was about 300,000. If they added some of the noble private soldiers they had collected in Jiangdong or soldiers of various cities, they could add 300,000 to 50,000 people."

"But rather than saying that he has an army of 350,000, it is better to say that he is pulling the big flag and bluffing. According to our speculation, the most truly combat-capable ones are no more than 30%. In other words, the Wu army can fight at most about 100,000 soldiers. The two troops of Shan Xiongxin, Chen Guoren and Sun Shihan who were defeated in Caishi City before had 100,000 troops, but now there are only about 60,000 left to flee to the south. Moreover, they were chased by Marshal Qu Tutong all the way, and they probably had to escape and annihilate about 10,000."

"The Du Fuwei's army under Jiankang City originally had 70,000, but only about 50,000 were withdrawn from Jiankang City, and at least 40,000 could be converged with Shen Luoyan."

"The defeated soldiers in Jingkou are Li Zitong and Chen Dang, each with 50,000. Now there are only more than 70,000 left. However, judging from their cunning appearance, it would be great if they could have 40,000 to 50,000 when they meet with Chen Luoyan."

Luo Lin pointed and calculated, "Shan Xiongxin, Chen Guoren's two units were 50,000, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Chen Dang's 40,000, and 130,000 people were added. According to this calculation, the troops that Shen Luoyan had not yet been attacked had about 50,000 people. Together they could have 180,000, which sounded quite a lot. But if we only counted as 30% of the real soldiers, they were only 50,000 soldiers."

"On our side, the reinforcements led by His Majesty personally gathered with the troops from various cities, about 150,000. And not counting our cannons, our side is now at a time of high morale, and the enemy's six armies have been defeated by us. What do you think we are worried about? What are we most worried about is that the enemy will truly collapse and disperse all over Jiangdong. At that time, we will sweep away one by one, which will take time and effort, and that is the real trouble."

Chen Kefu nodded and praised Luo Lin's analysis: "Ro Lin is right. What we lack most now is time. Although I have gathered 100,000 troops to go south this time, the Central Plains is already very empty, and the battle in the north will start again at any time. We have no time to delay the battle in Jiangnan. In the battle in Jiangdong, we must fight quickly and decide quickly. To fight quickly, we will naturally gather all these Wu troops together and fight all in one place."

"Send the order and set off! Go south!"

"Looking south!" The generals all beat their chests and blew together. The achievements of destroying a country in one fell swoop were right in front of them, and everyone was excited. This was a real great opportunity to make achievements. Not all generals have such an opportunity to participate in the battle to destroy the country.

The gate of Jurong City slowly opened, and teams of guards galloped out one after another. The neat array, the exquisite armor, and the sharp swords and guns all demonstrated their glory as the most elite guard troops in Dachen.

Chen Kefu rode Pitler under the guards of the imperial guards and led his army to roll southwards with the pace of Li Benlei's army.

Not long after the trip, the army had arrived at the intersection of Danyang County, Jiangdu County, Piling County, Xuancheng County, Wu County and Yuhang County: Siping Mountain.

Siping Mountain is a mountain and is not very famous. But it is just one of the mountains in a mountain range. Speaking of the name of that mountain range, it is truly like thunder. This mountain range is Maoshan.

In spring, the mountain looks, the mountain air is seen in summer, the mountain love is seen in autumn, and the mountain bones are seen in winter.

The mountains with mountains form the Maoshan Mountains like a giant dragon, and Siping Mountain is the entrance of this north-south passage that lies across the intersection of the six counties. Although Siping Mountain is not as Taoist holy as the main peak of Maoshan, it also has beautiful scenery. It is also an important passage from Wujun, Piling, Yuhang and other places to Jiankang City in the center of Jiangdong, so it is even more prosperous here, with eight miles and ten miles and one town.

Chen Kefu led his army to twenty miles in front of the mountain and found that there were many Chen soldiers stopping here. Before he could ask, a team of knights rushed over. Looking up, Marshal Qu Tutong and Marshal Li Benlei who led the army south first, as well as generals such as Hu Hai, Feng Huan, and Feng Ang.

"We will meet your Majesty!" The generals saluted.

"There is no need to be too polite on the battlefield. Why did the two marshals stop?"

Li Benlei Ce immediately stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, we have been pursuing the defeated troops of the Wu army, and although we have wiped out many Wu army, a Wu army suddenly broke out and responded to them. Ten miles ahead to ten miles below Siping Mountain, the Wu army has set up eighteen battalions fortresses. Although these fortresses are temporary construction, they are also very strong. We cannot attack for a while, so we have to stop chasing for a while."

"Eighteen camps? But the base camp of Shen Luoyan?" Chen Kefu laughed and said when he heard the pursuit was blocked.

"It is indeed the base camp of Shen Luoyan. Her camp is standing on Siping Mountain. In addition to the eighteen camp fortresses along the way, she also dug countless ditches on the side of Siping Mountain and built fortresses. It seems that she wants to fight them for a long time." Marshal Qu Tutong also said the news he knew.

Chen Kefu nodded: "How many defeated Wu soldiers have fled in?"

"It is estimated that almost 70,000 to 80,000 people from the three defeated troops have fled."

"Oh? Are there only 70,000 or 80,000 people?" Chen Kefu smiled. The news I received before was that the five defeated troops were combined together was 130,000. Unexpectedly, only 70,000 or 80,000 people were chased in the blink of an eye and escaped. This is good news. In this way, all the Wu army was added together, and even the 50,000 people who fell to the sky were only 120,000 to 130,000. In this way, the Chen army had surpassed the Wu army in terms of number alone.

Chen Kefu held up a thousand-mile mirror and looked at Siping Mountain carefully for a long time. After looking at the map, he smiled and said, "Siping Mountain is surrounded by mountains and waters. There is a steep mountain wall in front, but there is a stream and a river behind it.

"The place chosen by Chen Luoyan is quite good, and it is very consistent with the essence of military art. It is backed by the mountains to prevent the opponent from sneak attacking; there is a stream, which can make a fire to cook. It can be seen that my cousin has studied military books, and at least I am familiar with the "Sun Tzu's Art of War"." Chen Kefu smiled.

All the generals laughed. For the generals of Chen Army, they were not afraid of Jiankang City, which had a high city and a strong wall. What's more, the Wu army wanted to fight with them in a field just by just one mountain, which was too funny.

The Chen army's troops were first-class in siege and field battles. Even if this army can only be considered a second-level level among the Chen army, it is not comparable to the weak forces in the south like the Wu army. In the eyes of everyone, taking down Siping Mountain is close to you.

Faced with the plan of Yishan's perseverance, Chen Kefu had no idea of ​​spending time with him. He didn't even enter the big tent, Chen Kefu sat directly on the horse, holding a saddle, pointing to the map album and analyzed the Wu army's defense arrangements. Then, in less than half a moment, Chen Kefu had immediately issued a series of military orders immediately.

After a series of military orders were issued, Chen Kefu laughed: "Martyrs and generals, send orders to kill pigs and sheep, the whole army will have enough food, and rest for one day today. Tomorrow is the time when we sank Siping Mountain in one fell swoop and annihilate the Wu army."

"Congratulations! Plotting Siping Mountain and capturing the falling geese alive!".
