Chapter 327: Landing on the Shore and Night Attack
Liu Xian didn't stay on the bank of the river for long, although there were still many Yellow Turban soldiers on the other side watching the situation here, but Liu Xian believed that now that the sky had begun to darken, the Yellow Turbans on the other side would definitely not dare to cross the river easily.
Three thousand men and horses were defeated in this short period of time, and they still have to come and send them to their deaths?
Of course, Liu Xian still left people to keep an eye on the situation on the other side, and if there were still Yellow Turban people who dared to smuggle over at night, then naturally they had to look good.
led the men and horses to the river outside Liulin Village to assemble.
Huang Zhong also came, including the three hundred cavalry he led, but he didn't need to bring war horses.
"All here?"
"Yes, young master, are we now preparing to attack the Yellow Turban Army outside Yang's County at night?" Huang Zhong stepped forward and asked.
"That's right, I was still playing with them, so I didn't need to rush it, but it seems that the plan was going to be advanced." Liu Xian looked in the direction of Yang's County and said, "Listen, those Yellow Turban Army are still attacking the city, and they will not give up until they capture Yang's County." ”
The direction of Yangshi County, separated by the big river and a large large river, which is nearly ten miles away, this is naturally not the situation of Yangshi County, but the direction of Yangshi County is red, as if half of the sky is dyed red. It was the fire lit by the military horses of both sides inside and outside Yang's county.
Occasionally, even here, you can faintly hear some war drums shouting and killing.
Yang's County has been under siege for most of the day, and it has lasted until dark, until now.
"It seems that those Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army really don't give up, if they have maintained a high-intensity attack, then Yang County is indeed a little difficult to resist." Huang Zhong nodded.
The city walls of Yangshi County are indeed a little low, but fortunately, they are prepared, and the people of Yangshi County are organized to be young and strong, and there are enough people to defend the city. Otherwise, Yang County would have been captured long ago.
Years ago, wasn't Yang's County often occupied by the Yellow Turban Army? That's what happened.
Tens of thousands of troops deployed, attacking Yang's County without dead ends, if there are not enough people to defend the city, then it is easy to be attacked and killed on the head of the city, and killed into the city.
"We can't watch Yang County being taken down by those Yellow Turban Army, so we have to do something." Liu Xian said in a deep voice: "According to the report of our people staring at Yangshi County, in addition to the west of the city, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro sent about 8,000 men and horses in the other three directions, but today, in the siege of the city for most of the day, the Yellow Turban Army also suffered heavy losses, and sent men and horses to attack the city, and most of the troops were demolished, that is to say, they are now outside each city wall, in fact, it is only about 5,000 people. I plan to take advantage of the darkness of the night to raid the Yellow Turban Army on three sides from behind, we still have about 2,000 men and horses, and the 5,000 men and horses who suddenly attack them will have a certain danger, but there is still a great chance to defeat them. All we need is to defeat one of the walls, and then we will be able to take the initiative. At the very least, it can make them stop the siege. ”
"Young master, don't worry, it's only five thousand people, we can defeat them with one charge."
"No, we'd better be careful. Although it is said that they are scattered around Yangshi County, they can actually reinforce each other in time. Therefore, we are not in a hurry to defeat them all at once, we only need to kill them to a certain extent. We won't rest this night, as long as they don't stop attacking the city, then we will keep attacking and fighting them. Look who's scared of whom. ”
Liu Xian thought of the guerrilla warfare of later generations. Hit and go, it's that simple, just keep attacking, fatigue those Yellow Turban Army, eat a big bite when you have a chance, and eat a small bite of him if you don't have a chance.
"We used the raft to sneak outside the south of the city and suddenly attacked the Yellow Turban Army in the south of the city. Depending on the situation, it would be best to defeat them in one go, and if not, or if the Yellow Turban Army from the east and west of the city came to the aid in time, then we would immediately withdraw from the battle, return to the raft, and take refuge in the Great River. ”
"If they send a large number of men to the south of the city. Then we will land in another place and attack in a different direction. Anyway, we must make those Yellow Turban soldiers unsafe tonight. Of course, this may be hard work and dangerous for the brothers, but I hope that the brothers can persevere. After all, the people in Yang County are also our parents and brothers. ”
"Young master, please give an order, we are not afraid or tired!"
The soldiers below shouted in unison.
"Alright, then let our hidden boats and rafts out and get to the action right away." Liu Xian saw that his people did not show timidity, and everyone's mental outlook was quite good.
Liu Xian knew that this was because this team had won battles in a row, and Liu Xian also tried his best to let these people rest today, and did not keep them in a high state of tension all the time.
Liu Xian thought about it, and still said to Huang Zhong: "Brother Huang Zhong, you still bring the war horse." Moreover, you don't have to take part in the offensive battle first, in case the attack of our infantry is unfavorable, you can lead the cavalry out as a response. If the final battle situation is really not in our favor, then we must rely on you cavalry to constantly harass the Yellow Turban Army. ”
"Huang understands." Huang Zhong understood as soon as he heard it. Cavalry can indeed play a more important role in this, and there is no need to rush to participate in the attack.
It's a pity that there are still too few war horses now, and if there are a few more war horses, then the situation will be completely different.
This is not to say that there are too few war horses, after all, Liu Xian can keep getting a lot of war horses from Youzhou, and now there are still two or three hundred war horses in the horse farm south of Liulin Village. It's just that these horses are not trained and cannot be regarded as official war horses, and there is a lack of cavalry that can fight on horseback. It takes a certain amount of time to train.
"In addition......" Liu Xian said to Huang Zhong again: "The tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops who are besieging our Yang County now, they have not set up camp. I think that's also an opportunity for us. If you see an opportunity and find the big leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, you can do it yourself. If there is a chance, as long as Zhang Niujiao, the big leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, is killed, then I think the crisis in Yang County this time should be resolved. ”
Liu Xian is a wake-up call for Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the momentum of his whole body was vigorous, and he suddenly felt like a sharp sword, and said with blazing eyes: "Lord, since this is the case, then Huang Mou might as well directly lead three hundred cavalry to kill the Yellow Turban Army and directly take the enemy chieftain?" ”
Huang Zhong was really very moved at this time. After all, these Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army were only besieging Yangshi County, and they didn't even have a military camp, so they didn't think that someone would suddenly attack their military horses.
Huang Zhong was really confident that he would lead three hundred cavalry to kill their formation.
"Nope! Cannot! Liu Xian hurriedly stopped: "Zhang Niujiao must be in the army west of the city, and he still has at least more than 20,000 horses under his command. Three hundred of your men went to charge and kill his twenty or thirty thousand? This will definitely cause us a lot of losses. It is impossible to exchange a head with horns for any of our cavalrymen. Besides, it's night, and it's too chaotic on the battlefield for you to find him even if you get into the enemy's ranks. I mean, let you keep an eye on it, find the horns, see him, and give him another chance. If there is no chance, then we will respond to our infantry and attack. ”
Liu Xian believed that a super fierce general like Huang Zhong could indeed take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops. But the sword on this battlefield has no eyes, and there is no guarantee that there will be no damage.
What's more, no matter how strong the super fierce general is, it has not reached the point of invulnerability. To put it mildly, even if you are a super fierce general, it is possible to die in an accident on the chaotic battlefield. If you meet someone with a heart, it is not impossible to design and kill a super fierce general.
Replaced by Liu Xian himself, in the face of the super fierce general breaking into his army formation, Liu Xian will also have a lot of means to make the super fierce general hateful.
No need to do anything, using the simplest tools, just some ropes, set up a tripping horse rope array, such a super fierce general also has to kneel, as long as he loses his war horse, then it is equivalent to making him lose his maneuver and impact. In this way, let the soldiers go up to pile up, or let the archers shoot at him, no matter how strong the super fierce general is, there is only one way to die.
In order to kill a bull horn and let Huang Zhong fall into the enemy formation, this is not what Liu Xian wants to see.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led hundreds of volunteers and some officers and soldiers to charge and kill tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, and beheaded the generals to capture the flag, and finally defeated the Yellow Turban Army. Such a case is a special case. And it was an encounter, and Liu Guanzhang didn't have much choice.
Normally, it is true that in every war, two or three super fierce generals can lead 1,000 or hundreds of people to kill the enemy's tens of thousands of troops. If you can win so easily every time, then many wars don't need to be fought, just let those super fierce generals lead a team of men and horses to rush and kill. Why do you need so many strategists to give advice?
Huang Zhong listened to Liu Xian's words, and then slowly suppressed the urge to directly lead the army to kill.
Naturally, the boats and rafts hidden by the river were guarded by the soldiers.
Liu Xian first let the infantry army board the raft, and finally let Huang Zhong take the three hundred cavalry to board some small boats and rafts, including their war horses.
The raft in Liulin Village is naturally enough for Liu Xian's two thousand people.
By this time, the sky was completely dark, and there were no stars or moons in the sky.
However, the earth is not really invisible, at least, under the shadow of the fire in Yang's County in the distance, there is a little faint light.
Liu Xian's more than 2,000 men and horses boarded the boat and raft, and after entering the reeds of the big river, they extinguished the torches.
This is preparing to go to the sneak attack, and it is naturally impossible to fight with open fire.
But even if there were no torches, it was very dark in the reeds, but the people who were in charge of supporting the boats and rafts remembered the course of the river most clearly. Even with your eyes closed, you can drive through the reeds on a raft.
The routes are fixed, and everyone who is responsible for sailing the raft has it in mind.
In fact, you don't have to go too fast, and if you drive slowly, you don't have to worry about capsizing, and as for the raft, it's even more difficult to capsize.
Liulin Village is really not far from Yangshi County, and it didn't take long for the raft to bring more than 2,000 people to the bank of the river outside Yangshi County.
When I got here, I could already see some of the situation in Yang's county and outside the city.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city should have just launched a siege battle and just returned from retreating. It seems that they were repulsed by another siege.
Liu Xian and others saw that on the shore not far away, it happened to be the place where the Yellow Turban Army had a rice stove, and rows of large iron pots were cooking rice, and the rice was fragrant.
On one side of these stoves was supposed to be a camp for wounded soldiers, and on the other side, where meals were distributed to their Yellow Turban Sergeants. At this time, many Yellow Turban soldiers were receiving food, and after receiving the food in groups, they went to the side to eat and drink.
As soon as the cooked food was cooked, some of the men were busy carrying it and distributing it to the waiting Yellow Turban soldiers.
The Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro really fought hard to capture Yang's County. The siege began in the afternoon, and it never stopped, until now that it was completely dark, that they began to eat.
Liu Xian was overjoyed when he saw such a situation, this is really God helping me.
