Chapter 111: Meng Tian's plan
Meng Tian returned to the camp, had lunch, and ordered the army to retreat a hundred miles.
All the actions of the Qin army were naturally under the surveillance of Huangxu City, and the army retreated, and the scouts quickly reported the news to Wu Feng, the person in charge of Huangxu City.
Wu Feng is in his thirties, born in the military, and the military and political affairs of Huangxu City are under his control, which shows his ability.
In the City Lord's Mansion, in the lobby, after listening to the scout's report, Wu Feng fell into deep thought, and only raised his head after a moment and said: "Chuan County Captain, County Cheng, and the generals who defend the city have come to discuss matters." ”
The people who received the order rushed to the city lord's mansion one after another, and after saluting, Wu Feng said: "The Qin army suddenly retreated, what do you think?"
The county lieutenant got up and said: "According to the opinion of his subordinates, even Huan Qi, who has been through a hundred battles, has no way to take the Yellow Ruins, and leads the army to bypass the Yellow Ruins City. ”
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement, and Wu Feng also had a guess in this regard, and said: "This general also thinks that the matter of Huan Qi leading the army to the north in a roundabout way, I have already sent someone to the Le Yi camp to report, so I don't have to wait for it." Just in case, you still need to be vigilant to prevent it from raiding the city. ”
Speaking of the back, Wu Feng was a little unimpressed, even if Meng Tian raided, Huangxu City would not be able to be captured by an army of 10,000.
At this time, Jun Cheng suddenly said: "General, the subordinates are very strange, since the Qin army has decided to give up attacking Huangxu City, why do they have to leave 10,000 troops?"
Wu Feng also said: "This is also what the general is puzzled about, and I am worried that there will be fraud, so I will let you be more vigilant." What does Mo Juncheng have to think about it?"
Mo Juncheng said: "Could it be to protect the military rations?"
Wu Feng's eyes lit up and said, "Are you saying that the Qin army was worried that we would hijack the military rations, so they left 10,000 troops to transport the military rations one after another?"
"Yes, this is the only way to explain why 10,000 troops were left behind, and why the army retreated. ”
What is most lacking in Huangxu City now, food, the grain in Zhao State is not enough to transport to the Zhangshui camp in the three places of Zhao State, and where is there food to relieve them.
A general stood up and said: "General, are we going to prepare one or two, robbing the Qin army's military rations, and then the Huan Qi army will collapse without attacking, this is a godsend." ”
"Yes, General, this is a rare opportunity. ”
Wu Feng was also a little moved, but he still had some concerns, and said: "You should know that the Qin army is not only brave in battle, but also well-armed and well-equipped, and there are only five thousand defenders in Huangxu City. The reason why the 50,000 troops who were able to defend Huan Qi to attack the city was because the soldiers and civilians of Huangxu City were united, and if they took the initiative to attack, they would have a chance of winning?"
"This ......"
Everyone in the lobby, you look at me, I look at you, what Wu Feng said is really true, it is still the merit of the location and people to defend the city, with the initiative of five thousand defenders of the city, how is it the enemy of the elite Qin army.
The fire and battle intent that had just risen was extinguished by a basin of cold water.
Mo Juncheng said: "The general thinks that the people can't fight?"
Wu Feng said: "The weak people, it is difficult to protect themselves, how to fight?"
Mo Juncheng said with a smile: "General, this time the grain grabbing is a life-saving move, how can they be afraid of war, I am afraid that the hungry wolves will be frightened and flee in panic when they see them, what can the Qin army do?"
When Wu Feng heard this, he knew in his heart that in order to survive, he was afraid that it would be more useful than what money was driven, and said with a smile: "It's still Mo Juncheng's thoughts, and Feng can't do it." ”
Although Wu Feng was moved, he also thought that it was feasible to add more than 10,000 people, so he still said cautiously: "Send someone to keep an eye on the Qin army's camp, if there is any movement, report to me immediately, even if you want to rob the grain, you must wait for the Qin army to have about 3,000 people left before you can act." ”
Although everyone felt that Wu Feng was too cautious, he was the main general, and he could only act according to orders.
Answered: "Obey the general's order." ”
That night, an inconspicuous bird flew out of the Yellow Ruins City and disappeared into the Qin army camp.
Five days later, a batch of military rations arrived in Qin's logistics, and Meng Tian sent 3,000 soldiers to escort them to the east and north, which were in the eyes of the scouts in Huangxu City.
Eight days later, the third batch of military rations arrived, and Meng Tian stayed in the barracks, and ten days later, the fourth batch of military rations arrived, and Meng Tian still did not send anyone to deliver them.
Wu Feng couldn't sit still, even if they could hijack the military rations, they could only hijack one batch, and now there are two batches of military rations in the Qin army camp, and the third batch of military rations will arrive soon, this is nearly a million stone grains, if you can get the Yellow Ruins City, what are you afraid of.
Thinking of this, his heart could no longer be suppressed, especially when the third batch of military rations arrived only two days later, and the Qin army had already shown signs of pulling out the camp and leaving. He hurriedly ordered the people to be called to the proceedings.
After discussion, Wu Feng decided that tomorrow, when the fifth watch was still at dawn, he would lead 5,000 defenders and 10,000 young and strong people to attack the Qin army camp.
Wu Feng was also forced to do so, it seemed that the 4,000 people of the Qin army were preparing to escort three batches of military rations away, and the 6,000 people who had left before would also come back to continue to escort the military rations, in this case, their method of robbing the grain would not go very well, hijacking a batch of grain was a robbery, and robbing three batches of grain was also a robbery, so he was willing to take the risk of robbing the three batches of one million stone military rations this time.
On the second day, the fifth watch, the sun was still sleeping, the moon was still hanging in the sky, and dark clouds in the sky sometimes obscured the moonlight.
The gate of Huangxu City was wide open, and countless figures quickly went out of the city, Wu Feng walked in front with 5,000 defenders, and 10,000 young and strong people walked behind, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, including knives, forks, wooden sticks, guns, etc.
Fifteen thousand people marched between the two peaks, and at the back of the procession, a figure was getting farther and farther away from the procession, and when the dark clouds in the sky obscured the moonlight, he suddenly rushed into the woods on the side of the road, and no one in the group noticed his disappearance.
There were three camps in Meng Tian's camp, one was camped on a hill with its back to the west, another was camped by a stream flowing north to the south in the east, and the third was in the middle of the two camps to the south.
The north of the three camps is an open area, so there is no need to worry about the enemy sneaking up on the camp with the help of cover. As long as an enemy is in sight, it can be seen.
It can be seen that Meng Tian is well versed in the way of soldiers, and he is so experienced in camping, it is no wonder that he is only eighteen years old and qualified to command 10,000 soldiers.
Wu Feng is naturally not an idle person, he saw the three large camps of the Qin army when he got out of the mountain path, he realized that he still underestimated Meng Tian, and he was too conceited, and he didn't ask how the enemy army set up camp, but now it was already on the edge of the arrow, and he had to send it, and he didn't think that Meng Tian would know that he led people to attack the camp on the fifth watch.
The moon in the sky was slowly entering a huge dark cloud, Wu Feng saw it, and was secretly happy in his heart, and said, "God help me." ”
The county lieutenant asked, "General, the Qin army has three large battalions, where should we attack?"
Wu Feng smiled confidently and said: "Naturally, it is the central place, and the grain is placed in the Chinese army, and if there is an accident, it will be convenient for the armies on both sides to rescue." ”
After speaking, he looked up at the moonlight, which was already completely covered by dark clouds, and it was all dark from them to the Qin army camp.
The order said: "Pass the order, take advantage of the dark clouds to cover the moon, quickly rush towards the enemy's Chinese army's tent, and tell the people to kill the enemy and then get food." ”。
"No," the lieutenant replied.
More than 10,000 people in Huangxu City, under the leadership of Wu Feng, quickly slaughtered towards the Chinese army camp.
