But the next day, another group of people made a detailed report, saying that Yue Yun's troops had not returned to Yingzhou since they were discovered, and they might be in Guzhou at the moment. { Sui } { Dream } Novel ัww{mะตng][lฤ}
In the afternoon of the same day, the third batch of Tanma reported that the Yuejia Army of Guzhou was ready for battle!
Under the continuous intelligence, the commander of the Qi army finally realized that the situation was wrong, and Junzhou must be the target of the Yue family's army. The reason why the Yue family army has arranged so many tricks is nothing more than to confuse their own judgment and make themselves not know where the Yue family army is going to fight.
Now no matter whether the Yuejia army wants to attack Junzhou or not, in short, the city here in Suizhou is strong, and there is no need to worry about the Yuejia army coming. But the situation in Junzhou is different, Junzhou is originally a small city, similar to the city of Guzhou, and there is no danger to defend at all.
Immediately, the commander of the Qi army decisively issued an order, sent 10,000 reinforcements, and hurried to Junzhou.
Yue Yun's troops only had more than 6,000 people, but they were all elite troops of the Yue family's army.
They had been lurking behind the hill for almost ten days.
During this time, if he hadn't heard that Yingzhou took the initiative to attack Suizhou and designed to force Suizhou to send reinforcements to Junzhou, I was afraid that Yue Yun would have been a little impatient.
In the afternoon, although the sun was about to set, the hot weather still did not disappear.
Zhou Bo leaned under a big tree and kept fanning himself with his Fan Yang hat, but the sweat on his body was like beans, constantly rolling out, making people overwhelmed.
At this time, Yue Yun hurriedly walked over with a calm face, and sat down next to Zhou Bo, panting because of the anxiety of his feelings.
"Brother Yue, be a little patient, it's only been nine days, don't be in a hurry. Zhou Bo looked at Yue Yun's appearance and knew that Yue Yun was about to complain again. So I took the first step to persuade the Tao.
"It's not a problem, since I've waited for nine days, I'm not afraid to wait another nine days. It's just ......" Yue Yun sighed, and he didn't know how to say it anymore.
Zhou Bo smiled. "Just what?"
Yue Yun clenched his fist and smashed the ground and said, "It's just that the rations we brought can only last for fifteen days, and now that nine days have passed, there is not much time left." โ
Zhou Bo said: "What are you afraid of, wait until the fifteenth day." If there are no reinforcements in Suizhou, let's go directly to Guzhou, and then divert to fight Junzhou. โ
Yue Yun was a little puzzled, and said, "Then it's better to go directly to Junzhou now." We are wasting time here, not only wasting time, but also delaying the warplane. Since Suizhou doesn't send reinforcements to Junzhou, we should make good use of this opportunity!"
Zhou Bo sighed and said seriously: "Brother Yue, you have to understand that there are 20,000 Qi troops in Junzhou. The Guanghua Army also had two armies. The Guanghua Army is only fifty miles away from Junzhou, and even if we meet the troops of Guzhou, it is impossible for us to take Junzhou easily. If the Qi army from Suizhou arrived at this time when we were attacking, wouldn't it have caught us off guard?"
Yue Yun was stunned, and felt that what Zhou Bo said was very reasonable, but he was still unconvinced, and said: "Then why did you just say that the reinforcements from Suizhou will not arrive after the fifteenth." Shall we go and fight Junzhou? Won't it be dangerous at that time?"
"The reason why I said to wait for the fifteenth is to determine whether Suizhou will send reinforcements. If Suizhou does not send reinforcements, then Marshal Yue will secretly send troops to join us sooner or later, and then attack Junzhou according to the original plan. It's going to be a lot easier. Zhou Bo explained the matter thoroughly.
"Alas, alas, I originally thought it was a good plan, but now it's good, we're still so passive. Yue Yun said with a disappointed face.
"Don't worry, we're not passive. Marshal Yue personally designed it to force Suizhou to send reinforcements. The ** out of ten will succeed. Even if we don't succeed, we will make Qi Jun worry and fear for a while, and it will always be beneficial to the next step. Zhou Bo smiled and comforted.
At this moment, one of the soldiers in charge of guarding on the hill suddenly lowered his voice and shouted, "Young marshal, our scouts are back." โ
These days, Yueyun's troops are stationed in this mountain lump, so they naturally have to be cautious, so they sent a lot of scouts, on the one hand, to intercept the enemy's meticulous work, and on the other hand, to spy on the military situation of Suizhou. It's no surprise that a group of scouts return to report almost every day.
Zhou Bo smiled at Yue Yun and said, "Brother Yue, maybe the scout team will bring us good news today!!
Yue Yun didn't speak, just smiled bitterly.
The two men stood up one after another, and then walked to the other side of the hill. At this time, the scout team had at least arrived, they were dressed in civilian clothes, and even the military horses that sat down were dressed like ordinary pack horses.
The scout general looked excited, and without waiting for Yue Yun to ask rhetorically, he immediately preemptively said: "Young marshal, young marshal, big thing, big thing! Suizhou has sent 10,000 reinforcements, divided into three teams, and is rushing to Junzhou. โ
When Yue Yun heard this, he finally showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, laughed a few times, and said, "Okay, okay, great! Where are they at the moment?"
The scout general reported: "The front team and squadron have already left the city, and they will pass by us in about an hour. As for the rear team, it may be that they left relatively late because they had to escort grain and grass. The last general has never seen a trace of the rear team. โ
Yue Yun didn't care, even if the Qi army of the front team and the good squadron were defeated, it would be a big deal, enough to make the morale of the Qi army drop sharply. He nodded and said proudly: "Okay, let's ignore the rear team first, let's prepare an ambush immediately and kill the Qi army by surprise." โ
Zhou Bo thought about it carefully and said, "Brother Yue, I think it's better for us to be careful. โ
Yue Yun was stunned and asked, "Be careful of what?"
Zhou Bo sank and said seriously: "The Qi army has now been made like a frightened bird by us, and now we can't tell where we are going to fight. It is precisely because of this that they are bound to be more cautious. If the back team doesn't appear, maybe it's hiding in the shadows and covering the two teams in front. โ
Yue Yun didn't care at all, and said, "What are you afraid of, I still wish they could kill them together and see how I defeat them!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to direct the soldiers to set up an ambush.
Zhou Bo followed closely behind Yue Yun and said, "Brother Yue." This is no child's play. Even if the combat effectiveness of the Qi army is not as good as ours, we can't joke with our brothers' lives. The purpose of our current war is to preserve our strength as much as possible in order to kill and injure the enemy's vital force. After all, the strength of the Qi army in Xiangyang Mansion. It is far more than our Yue family's army. โ
Yue Yun was silent for a while, he originally felt that Zhou Bo overestimated the Qi army too much, but subconsciously felt that Zhou Bo was thinking about the Yue family army after all, and he must not live up to this thought. He sighed and stopped. He turned around and looked at Zhou Bo and said, "Then what do you think, what should we do?"
Zhou Bowei smiled, finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "It's very easy, since the enemy is hiding all the way, let's also hide all the way." Although our current strength is not comparable to the Qi army, Brother Yue, your subordinates are the most elite troops of the Yue family's army, and it is absolutely no problem to use one as ten. Coupled with the cover of my trebuchet and repeating crossbows, I am sure to be able to catch them off guard. โ
Yue Yun smiled. Said: "It's that simple?"
Zhou Bo asked rhetorically: "Brother Yue, how difficult do you think it is? If the Qi army wants to fight a surprise attack, let's counterattack them, so that in the end, the Qi army will not be able to take advantage!"
Yue Yun asked, "Then how many troops do I want to hide!"
Zhou Bo thought for a while, but asked, "Brother Yue, how many troops can you use to deal with the 6,000 men and horses of the Qi army?"
Yue Yun didn't dare to brag at this time, thought about it carefully, and said: "Although this is an ambush battle, after all, it is still necessary to kill on the plains, I think for the sake of safety, 5,000 troops are always needed." โ
Zhou Bo smiled and said, "Is 4000 okay?"
Yue Yun was stunned. Looking at the smile on Zhou Bo's face, after hesitating for a while, he laughed out loud and said, "Okay." I'll lead 4,000 men into battle!"
Zhou Bo nodded and said, "That's fine, let's hide 2,000 people." If the rear team of the Qi army comes out, these 2,000 people will also be killed by surprise. If the rear team of the Qi army does not come out, these 2,000 people still have to come out and fight back and forth. Wouldn't it be better to hit the front team and the squadron. โ
Yue Yunshen thought so, and said with a smile: "Haha, just do what you want." โ
Immediately, Yue Yun himself led 4,000 troops, 2,500 infantry and 1,500 cavalry, and prepared to attack on the north side of the hill, just waiting for the Qi army to pass by and kill them. At the same time, 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry were transferred as hidden reserves to prevent the rear team of the Qi army from suddenly coming out.
Zhou Bo ordered his subordinates to begin assembling trebuchets and repeating crossbows.
Repeating crossbows were arranged on the top of the hill and used as a weapon for suppression.
Because of its long range, trebuchets do not need to be placed on hills, but only behind hills, and with the principle of mortar firing, stones can be thrown directly over the hills and smashed on the enemy. Of course, trebuchets can only be used at the beginning and at the end of the battle when the enemy is fleeing, otherwise they will accidentally injure their own people.
Before the arrival of the Qi army, Zhou Bo personally led people to the roads that the Qi army must pass through to make a mapping, and formulated a reference for the trebuchet, so as not to see the position of the shooting because the hills blocked the view. When he returned, he stayed on top of the hill and let the trebuchet shoot the stones at his command.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, although it was faint, but it could be inferred that the Qi army had arrived. Although the troops of a few thousand people may not sound like much, they are still very large when they gather together and march!!
Soon, the vanguard of the Qi army had come into sight.
Zhou Bo did not give the order to fire the stones, and waited until the vanguard of the Qi army passed through Guรฒ, and then the first team passed by.
Yue Yun was also calm, he had to wait until the Qi army squadron was also in Guรฒ before launching an ambush. In this way, the Qi army had no way to flee backwards, but could only flee forward. Even if these remnants of the defeated army fled to Junzhou, it would only cause Junzhou's morale to plummet.
The waiting time is long, and it always feels like a year.
Finally, the Qi army passed by in a mighty way, and just when the rear team was halfway through, Zhou Bo immediately ordered the trebuchet to start shooting.
The trebuchet has been accumulating power for a long time, just waiting for this moment. Only a few crisp "bangs" were heard, and five large stones rose into the air. Before the Qi army could react, the stone had already smashed into the middle of the team, crushing more than a dozen people to death at once. Suddenly, an exclamation exploded, and everyone knew that they had been attacked, because it was so sudden that the formation of the whole team was out of shape.
At the same time, Yue Yun led his men to kill them from behind the hills.
The Yue family army shouted in unison, and this momentum was like a group of poisonous insects, eating away at the morale of the Qi army little by little.
Zhou Bo only let the trebuchet shoot three rounds, and in the end, he poured fire oil and fired incendiary bombs. Because the sky had darkened, encounters in the dark were more troublesome, so lit stones could provide illumination.
At this time, Yue Yun had already rushed towards the rear of the Qi army, and the 4,000 most elite soldiers of the Yue family army had been holding back in this hill for nine days, and they had long been eager to show their skills. Therefore, in the face of these frightened Qi troops, they were like a pack of jackals, trying to eat all the little sheep in front of them.
The cavalry was the first to enter and exit the enemy's formation, and the troops in the rear of the rear team were all miscellaneous soldiers carrying goods, so how could they be the opponents of the Yue family's army? In a short period of time, the more than 1,000 soldiers in the rear of the entire rear team were all defeated by the wind and clouds.
Miscellaneous soldiers were originally ineffective, but they were influential. Because they fled, the regular troops of the Qi army in front of them had a feeling that the general trend was gone, and all the will to fight was broken. A soldier who has lost the will to fight is not a soldier, but a herd of lambs to slaughter.
Yue Yun charged at the front, and the two sledgehammers were like the soul envoys of Lord Yama, and they were directly sent to the Netherworld Mansion as long as they took a beat. The rear team of the Qi army began to flee forward, but the front team had to return to the rescue, and the Qi army suddenly fell into a situation of trampling and colliding with each other.
Just as the battle was getting smoother and smoother, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the mountains and forests to the north. This rain of arrows was overwhelming, and it directly pounced on Yue Yun and the Qi army. The feathered arrows could not be seen clearly in the darkness, and only the sound of the bowstring could be heard, and the sound of the bow and arrow hitting the target.
This sudden attack suddenly made the Yue family's army confused. However, because this rain of arrows was a large-scale attack, along with the Qi army, many soldiers who were still entangled in the Yuejia army were shot.
Yue Yun was killing up, and was suddenly swept by this rain of arrows, if it weren't for the speed of the left and right guards, I was afraid that even he would be shot and fell off his horse. He was still wondering where this rain of arrows came from, but he soon thought that it must be a sudden attack by the rear team of the Qi army that had been hiding in the shadows.
He scolded hatefully and shouted: "Straight lady thief, it's the Qi army! Brothers, try your best to kill and rush forward, and mix with Qi dogs, so that they don't dare to shoot arrows!"
This way the Yuejia army was originally an elite force, and if it wasn't for the surprise attack just now, they would naturally not have suffered such heavy losses. Now that they were on guard and had received orders from the commander-in-chief, they marched towards the Qi army squadron with all their might. They were like a sharp bayonet, piercing into the ranks of the Qi army inch by inch.
Sure enough, when the Yue family army and the Qi army were mixed together, the Qi army hidden in the mountains and forests in the north did not dare to fire arrows indiscriminately. However, this way, the Qi army immediately organized cavalry and infantry, and launched an attack along the slope of the hill all the way to this side. After running for a while, the cavalry exerted great impact, but because they were still worried that they would accidentally injure their own people, the direction of the attack was concentrated on the very end of the Yuejia army.
