Chapter 479: Misjudgment
For some reason, Xiao Yu led a thousand horsemen away, and the remaining nine thousand troops suddenly felt as if they had lost their souls.
It's a hundred miles of ice, a hundred miles of a knife, all have the same feeling.
In the past few days, riding horses and galloping, from the general to the soldiers, it was because of Xiao Yu's continuous incitement that his morale increased greatly and he was encouraged to persevere.
Xiao Yu is just a common sentence, and everyone will be excited.
Now, he divided his troops and left, as if the military spirit was gone, and he actually had a sense of confusion and fear for the ensuing battle.
And Xiao Yu, who led Yang Tianxuan's subordinates, pursued overnight, and was in a good mood.
According to the memory of the original owner, the military system of the Great Qianhuang Dynasty was set up with five military commanders, ten people as chief soldiers, 100 people as centurions, and 500 people as tun chiefs. 1,000 people will be set up as commanders, 3,000 people will be set up as partial generals, 5,000 people will be set up as captains, and 10,000 people will be set up as chief and deputy generals.
Yang Tianxuan, his cultivation is not high, and he is not burly.
However, the 1,000 men he led were the most forbidden and the most persevering, and no one ever complained of hardship.
On the march, no one even spoke.
Rest, but mingle, up and down harmony.
Such a team often has strong combat effectiveness, and dares to exchange life for life, but it will not retreat from the fight to the death. Xiao Yu had been paying attention to him, as well as his soldiers, for a long time.
It is the elite of the elite in this 10,000-strong army.
"Stop, rest in place!"
After running wildly for two hours in a row, Xiao Yu ordered to stop the march.
"Yes!"
The thousand people immediately dismounted and drank in unison.
And, feed your own war horses wine.
Xiao Yu took out the map, beckoned to Yang Tianxuan, and immediately said, "Yang Dutong, come and see, Liu Ziqing sent troops to Fufeng County early in the morning, where is the most likely sneak attack?"
Yang Tianxuan immediately stepped forward and took a closer look.
Only then did he speak: "Hui Junshi, my subordinates believe that according to the calculation of the distance, Liu Ziqing is most likely to attack two places....... One is Ma Mingguan, and the other is Puyang County. ”
"Go on!"
Xiao Yu nodded.
"Yes...... If Ma Mingguan is broken, the eight counties north of Fufeng County will not be able to resist. If Puyang County is broken, it can directly take the county seat of Fufeng County and defeat Fufeng County from the root. ”
Yang Tianxuan knew that Xiao Yu was teaching him: "With Liu Ziqing's character, his subordinates think that he will take the county town directly and take the lead in attacking Puyang." At that time, the entire Fufeng County will definitely look at the wind and fall to the wind. ”
"Haha, haha!"
"Good, good, very good!"
When Xiao Yu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, this person really managed the army well, and his eyesight was extraordinary.
If it is cultivated, it will become a wise and brave general.
"Thank you for the compliment, the subordinates are just guesses, and they can't count. Yang Tianxuan was frightened on the surface, but he was actually very happy and excited in his heart: "I have to ask Liu Ziyu about the specific situation, so I can know!"
"No need to ask!"
"Didn't you notice that a quarter of an hour ago we saw the traces of the rolling of the baggage, and if it was as expected, it was the crushing of the ordnance and the catapult. ”
Xiao Yu smiled slightly and immediately pointed forward.
Yang Tianxuan was stunned, he didn't realize that the military advisor was worthy of being a military advisor, and his heart was as careful as a hair.
After understanding, Yang Tianxuan immediately ordered: "Come on, go and investigate immediately..... As soon as there is news, report it immediately!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the ten people pointed by Yang Tianxuan immediately rode away.
······
An hour later.
One of the people who acted as scouts rode back: "Qiqi military division, Liu Ziqing's baggage, and ordnance are all fifty miles ahead...... We have already found out, and there are less than 3,000 auxiliaries guarding it. ”
"Okay, three thousand auxiliaries, great. ”
"All of them, take off their armor at once, stay here, and travel lightly. After entering the enemy's camp, he yelled to grab money and force food. If it could not be carried away, it was burned with fire. ”
Xiao Yu was overjoyed and immediately ordered.
"Does the military advisor mean to hide his identity and pretend to be a bandit?"
Hearing this, Yang Tianxuan immediately understood.
"Haha, it's worthy of being a person who can be the commander of the capital, that's it. Xiao Yu laughed with relief: "Remember, the gangster pretends to be a little bit like Lao Tzu." It is not seeking to kill many enemy troops, defeat them, destroy their food and grass, and ordnance is the main thing. ”
"Yes, obey the orders of the military advisor!"
A thousand men were commanded, and immediately they took off their armor.
As soon as the armor was gone, he was immediately refreshed and relieved, and the horses were much stronger.
"Yes!"
Xiao Yu shouted loudly and immediately rode away.
Fifty miles, all the way to the gallop, soon arrived.
"Kill, kill!"
"Grab money, grab food, rob me!"
After arriving, Xiao Yu did not stop, immediately shouted, and immediately launched an attack, playing the thief's set very well.
Although Liu Ziqing's grain and grass battalion is prepared, how can it compare to Xiao Yu's elite cavalry.
Rushed into the camp and immediately wailed all over the field.
Many, while still asleep, lost their lives.
In less than half an hour, they died, and those who fled, and they were completely defeated.
Yang Tianxuan immediately asked some people to drive horses and carts to transport grain, and some people lit fires everywhere. In about an hour, the whole army retreated.
Liu Ziqing has no food, no ordnance, see how he can attack the city?
Unless, when he arrived at 'Puyang County', he directly broke the Fufeng portal.
However, looking at the distance traveled by the baggage is an act of overload. He should have failed in the sneak attack, and needed siege equipment such as catapults to take it as soon as possible.
No, tomorrow there will be no lunch.
A good show that is even better than the original plan has finally begun.
The other side!
Baili Bing commanded the army, rushed to Shanhe Pass to attack the enemy camp on the eve of the night was very successful, and after breaking the camp, he also pursued and killed all the way until dawn.
Thousands of beheaded, and those who escaped with their lives were less than one in ten.
The news was transmitted back to Shanhe Pass, which made the entire Shanhe Pass defenders extremely excited.
······
Following.
Several other scouts sent by Yang Tianxuan finally returned.
As Xiao Yu expected, Liu Ziqing's sneak attack failed, and he was desperately resisted by the city guards and successfully closed the city gate. Liu Ziqing had to wait for the baggage, and after the ordnance arrived, he was attacking the city.
As a result, what we were waiting for was the bad news that all the food and grass were lost, and the ordnance was destroyed.
Even, they don't even know who the enemy is.
The dry rations of the 20,000 troops they had carried had been consumed this morning, and they had not even eaten lunch. Without food and equipment, it is impossible to storm the city.
To Xiao Yu's surprise, Liu Ziqing actually did the opposite.
Ordinary people, in this case, naturally immediately withdraw from the army. However, he actually ordered to use local materials and make ladders to attack the city.
And, dozens of teams were sent to search for food.
I didn't have a chance to let Xiao Yu arrange a pocket array for him, and he was really smart!
Xiao Yu asked his subordinates to pretend to be thieves, but he was not fooled?
Worthy of a famous general!
"Immediately notify Baili Bing, Baili with a knife, immediately abandon the ancient city and town, and rush to Puyang County. Remember, the soldiers are fast, be fast! The rest of the people should immediately send troops to Puyang County!"
After Xiao Yu planned carefully, he immediately ordered.
Liu Ziqing is not fooled, then this battle has become a battle for time.
If Liu Ziqing breaks Puyang County first, then a big event can be expected. At that time, Xiao Yu and Baili Bing converged, and they had no choice but to do so.
Cavalry, but not able to storm the city.
It depends on whether the 5,000 defenders of Puyang County can hold out until Xiao Yu rushes.
"It's broken, it's a bad move!"
galloping all the way, Xiao Yu was suddenly so angry that he slapped himself hard.
"Strategist, why are you doing this?"
Seeing this, Yang Tianxuan was very strange.
"This army division is too confident, and misjudged the situation, and lost the best opportunity to completely annihilate Liu Ziqing. Last night, the troops should not be divided, and Liu Ziqing's headquarters should be taken directly. ”
Xiao Yu was furious: "I underestimate Liu Ziqing too much, and I also underestimate the county guard of Tianqian County...... Since he dares to make a false way to destroy the enemy, he must have an internal response. Otherwise, Liu Ziqing did not dare not retreat, but instead attacked the city. ”
"Ah, how is this good?"
Hearing this, Yang Tianxuan also immediately realized.
If this is the case, by the time they arrive, Puyang County is afraid that it has already been breached. Moreover, these thousand people, even if they arrive in time, will not have much effect.
Xiao Yu ran out of ideas for a while, so he had to stop immediately.
A few minutes later.
Xiao Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows, and immediately shouted: "Pass the order, immediately change the direction of the march, take Ma Ming Pass, and collect the eight counties north of Fufeng County." ”
Liu Ziqing is powerful, so let him gnaw on the county seat of Fufeng County.
And Xiao Yu took this opportunity to collect the eight counties north of Ma Mingguan. Without these eight counties, what if Liu Ziqing won the county seat?
It's just a third of the territory that gets Fufeng.
"The military advisor is clever, and his subordinates immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Miss, the general. ”
Hearing this, Yang Tianxuan was immediately overjoyed, taking Ma Mingguan at this moment was a godsend.
