From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1066

"How many people?"

"I don't know. The enemy's cavalry spies were also spread out widely, and the individual quality of the soldiers was very strong. We fought two battles and suffered losses."

After listening to the spies' words, Colonel Andre fell silent.

He frowned and looked behind him, and said slowly: "It shouldn't be, the situation in Shenzhou is not so easy to deal with. Zhou Yuan should stay for at least a few days, it shouldn't be so fast!"

Lieutenant Colonel Artyom said: "Could it be that they didn't care about Shenzhou at all, but chased us all night long?"

Andre shook his head and said: "Impossible, Shenzhou is not just a city, it is the most important grain and grass transit station in Dajin, it must rely on Shenzhou to distribute in all directions, and it plays the role of cornerstone."

"The stable order there is what Zhou Yuan must build."

"I guess he should have sent out a cavalry battalion to chase us all night long, so that we can give us the greatest sense of oppression and give us no time to completely destroy Jianzhou."

Artyom's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help saying: "In this case, they definitely dare not enter the city to fight us. We can spend two more days to clear this place before leaving."

Andre said: "Then they will rush to Guhewei overnight, run ahead of us to occupy it, and implement a package for us If we are surrounded, we will be in danger."

"Don't underestimate Zhou Yuan, his military achievements are real. If we are not careful, we will be wiped out."

"Burn it quickly, burn as much as you can, and leave at dawn, otherwise it will be too late."

Artyom sighed and said, "It's really not easy to fight such a smart opponent."

"I'm really afraid that we will be surrounded in Guhewei and never escape."

Andrei said lightly: "Don't worry, Commander Gumanyev can see the situation clearly, Even if we exhaust all means, we can't stop Huang Taiji's 70,000 or 80,000 people. "

"We will be able to join the main force, and then overthrow the entire Liaodong with absolute force."

"As the war in the northwest of Dajin becomes more and more tense, Zhou Yuan can only give up Liaodong and return to Dajin under the pressure of the situation."

At this point, he smiled slowly and said softly: "They want to cut off my way out, but in fact, our way out is destined to be opened."

...

The sky is full of stars and the evening breeze is blowing.

Inside the general's tent, Zhou Yuan is carefully studying the map.

Wang Xiong, Shi Yi, and Luo Kun are sitting aside in deep thought.

Dai Si poured tea for everyone and sat down obediently.

Zhou Yuan turned around and said, "Basically, the situation has been figured out. As the two sides calculated against each other, the situation gradually became clear."

"Dai Si, your illness is almost healed, tell me what you think."

Dai Si was stunned for a moment, then said, "The situation is indeed clear. We will split our troops into three groups and rush forward from the north, south and center. Huang Taiji will shrink the defense line and intercept the main force of the Tsarist Empire. At the same time, we have the Wuyao Battalion in front to bite the assault corps..."

"In time, the assault corps will eventually be caught up by us. If there is no way out, Under such circumstances, they were completely annihilated by us. "

"In this way, although they destroyed the rear of the Jurchens, they lost 60,000 elite troops, which was a greater loss for them."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Luo Kun, what do you think?"

Luo Kun seemed to be steady, frowned for a long time, and then said, "There are three questions that are still unclear. The first is how many days can the 70,000 or 80,000 troops under Huang Taiji hold out in Asujiangwei and Tuduhewei? Are they able to completely cut off the opponent's survival route? "

"Second, at what position can we catch up with the raiding corps, and will the opponent Before that, move to the south and escape from the decisive battle site we planned in advance. "

"Third, will the other side keep running away? Or do they not want to run away at all, but stick to Guhewei and wait for Gumanyev to get rid of Huang Taiji and join them. "

Wang Xiong nodded and said: "According to Huang Taiji's previous methods, he should not be so mediocre, and should be able to delay Gumanyev's time as much as possible to create opportunities for us. "

"We should have enough time to deal with the raiding corps. Now I am afraid that before Ji Shan arrives, They took the initiative to flee south, toward the direction of Lianer Wenwei and Harlan City Guard to escape.

Shi Yi couldn't help but say: "I saw the line of words on the wall of Shenzhou. I think Andre is a relatively arrogant person. He will choose to accept the challenge."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and waved his hand: "He is arrogant, but he is also calm, and the key is Gumanyev..."

"This person was beaten by me and wanted to seek revenge on me. In this way, his strategy will definitely tend to be radical.

"If the assault corps escapes in the direction of Lianer Wenwei and Harlan City Guard, thenThe strategic success they have achieved is too small, and the two sides will soon enter a strategic stalemate, which is an unacceptable result for the radical Gumanyev. "

"So we don't need to consider the problem of Andrei's early escape..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan tapped the map lightly with the stick in his hand, and said slowly: "In my opinion, Andrei will stop at Guhewei for three reasons."

"First, he needs Gumanyev's support. This is their strategy that they have decided in advance. For such a long-distance raid, intelligence cannot be transmitted temporarily, and it cannot be transmitted."

"Second, our pursuit speed is very fast. Wuyao Battalion and Elite Battalion have been biting. Jishan and our Leiden Army did not care about Jianzhou, but followed directly. In this case, once Gumanyev's progress is not smooth, Andrei will definitely find a place to hold on, which is much safer than being surrounded and annihilated in the wild. "

"Third, holding on to Guhewei, there is no shortage of water sources and fortifications, which can maximize the time for Gumanyev to complete the reunion. After the reunion, they can directly threaten Jianzhou and penetrate our hinterland more easily. "

"Therefore, I judge that Andrei will hold Guhewei for a certain period of time."

"And we have to kill them before Gumanyev defeats Huang Taiji!"

He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The essence of this battle is to besiege and attack the reinforcements!"

"Besiege and attack the reinforcements?"

Everyone was a little confused.

Zhou Yuan explained in detail for another half an hour before letting them return to the tent and think for themselves.

He sat down, stretched his waist, and said: "Dai Si, do you understand?"

Dai Si turned his head to look at him and said softly: "I don't understand it, but the basic logic has been sorted out."

"Very good."

Zhou Yuan chuckled and said: "Then you say, can Gumanyev open up a way out?"

Dai Si thought about it and said: "With a large advantage in military strength, it should be possible. "

Zhou Yuan said: "Can I find a way out for you tonight?"

Dai Si tilted her head and said with a giggle: "Your Majesty, my way out is not in me, I came from my mother."

"That way should be very good, I hope you can find it one day."

She is not shy at all when it comes to speaking.

Until Zhou Yuan walked to her side, lowered his voice and said: "It was not convenient to be with Ningyue and the others last night, and I didn't eat meat, so I was very angry."

"Dai Si, can you let me eat meat today?"

So Dai Si's face finally turned red, and she whispered: "I... I'm not well yet."

Zhou Yuan said: "I don't mind. "

Is that something you don't mind?

Dai Si gave him a vicious look and gritted his teeth and said, "At most...at most I...I'll let you hug me..."

It's so fun to tease a little girl!

Zhou Yuan stretched and smiled, "Go to sleep. The battles later will be difficult. You have to learn well."

"I will teach you how to fight on the ground. You can wait a little longer for the battle on the bed."
