Chapter 268: Guerrilla Warfare
In the end, a thousand household chiefs who walked in the front couldn't hold back any longer. He commanded a centurion in front of him, with a hundred of his own soldiers, to rush to an enemy tent as fast as he could.
The soldiers of the Chu army who rushed to the enemy's tent, they held the weapons in their hands tightly, and walked into the tent, concentrating on guarding against the enemy's sudden attack.
But to their surprise, even though they had reached the door of the tent, they were still not attacked in any way.
A soldier who walked in front finally mustered up the courage, opened the curtain of the tent, stretched out his head to look inside, but he didn't expect to see the scene when he was laughing.
It's like a tent for people, like a home where all kinds of animals gather. A sheep was tied to the very center of the tent, her body and hind feet held firmly in place by ropes, leaving only her front feet on a snare drum.
As soon as there was a sound outside, the sheep became nervous, and swung his two front legs desperately, so that the war drums under his front feet sounded, making people feel like they were beating, the drums of battle.
At the same time, there are many different kinds of animals in this tent, chickens, dogs, ducks, geese, and even large animals such as donkeys and horses.
After seeing this scene, the hundred soldiers of the Chu State led by this centurion hurriedly wanted to search for all the objects in the tent.
As a result, these Chu soldiers were surprised to find that there was not a single figure in this huge enemy tent.
The unwilling Chu soldiers searched in the nearby tents for a long time, but they still did not find a single figure, and there was a large animal in each tent, which was tied there and forced to knock.
There was no one in the tent, and the burden of these Chu soldiers was obviously much greater. They cooperated with each other and searched from tent to tent.
Finally, in a few tents near the very center, the Chu soldiers found several figures, all of them were tied hand and foot by ropes, and when they saw someone appear, they were whining and screaming.
Looking at these people who were tied hand and foot, this centurion didn't have a secret sense of anger, these guys tied so many people here, so that everyone mistakenly thought that the two of them were hiding in the tent, and the brothers were nervous for a long time.
After Zhao Yue got the report of his generals, his face sank, this Yang Yun with so many soldiers, it is impossible to cross this Chu River, where did they go, could it really be that they flew with wings?
Anyuan is a small county in the Luzhou capital of Chu State, and it is not a military stronghold, nor is it rich, so the defensive level of the city is not high.
Zhao Yuan, the king of Chu, asked all the cities in Luzhou Mansion to be vigilant against the surprise attack of the Dafu army, but the county order here did not take this matter to heart.
There are more than 20,000 people in Anyuan County, and there is not much food, and there are no war materials here, the city wall is not high, and the location is a little biased.
What this Anyuan County didn't expect was that this King Wu of Fuguo seemed to be really sick in the brain, and he really brought people to Anyuan County.
Looking at the dense enemy soldiers outside the city, Anyuan County's head was numb, and he looked at the neatly formed soldiers under the city blankly, as if he was dreaming.
"Your Excellency. Close the gates, they'll rush in too late!" The county lieutenant on the side said loudly.
"Forget it, let them in, how can we resist these wolf-like enemies in these two or three days, if we annoy them, the people in the city will suffer." The county magistrate said a little listlessly.
The county commander took his subordinates to surrender on their own initiative and avoided a battle. Yang Yun soon led his subordinates to this Anyuan County, and there were not many food and materials in the county, which was expected by Yang Yun.
However, Yang Yun didn't care at all, but was still a little satisfied with this place. There are many houses here, and the food in them can also feed everyone for a few days, at least the soldiers will not have to sleep in the open for the past two days.
The team was able to come to Anyuan County because of a flash of inspiration in Yang Yun's head.
Seeing that the 100,000 Chu soldiers led by Zhao Yue were only twenty-three miles away from Luqidu, where everyone was stationed, everyone was already starting to prepare to fight the enemy to the death.
But almost everyone knows that in such a situation where the time, place, and people are not met, and the number of troops is still less than that of the enemy. To defeat Zhao Yue's army of 100,000, there was little chance of victory.
On the question of how to fight the enemy, his generals were divided.
Some people believe that they should take the initiative to attack when the enemy is tired on the march and has not yet gained a firm foothold, and adopt the strategy of waiting for work at ease to deal a heavy blow to the other side.
There are also some people who believe that it is necessary to build fortifications and defend them to the death, so as not to fight to the death with the enemy army, which is superior in numbers.
But even the generals who held these two views themselves believed that both methods had their own shortcomings, and that a little carelessness would cause a crushing defeat for the army.
In the case of the two sides arguing, Yang Yun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and remembered the scene when the great man used guerrilla warfare and fought with an enemy who was several times his number with ease.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our priority now is not to destroy the enemy, but to turn him upside down like a worm in the belly of the enemy. Therefore, we can't fight hard with the enemy, and we should stick a nail in the hinterland of Chu with the least casualties, so that they can't sleep well. Yang Yun stood up, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and told everyone what he thought.
"That's right! We can't fight hard with the enemy, as long as our tens of thousands of troops have been inside the Chu State, they will be very uncomfortable, the strength of the Chu State is now very limited, and it is almost impossible for them to surround us. Listening to Yang Yun's words, Ju Yuanguang immediately understood what he meant.
"When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy is stationed, when the enemy is tired, I fight, and when the enemy retreats, I pursue." Yang Yun once again emphasized the operational principle of these 16 characters.
"Brothers, I, Yang Yun, took everyone out, hoping that everyone can make contributions, but I also want to bring everyone back to our own homes safely. Therefore, while completing the mission, we must reduce casualties as much as possible. So we have to use this skill now, to fight the enemy, and to preserve our own combat strategy. Yang Yun gathered all the commanding generals together and conveyed his operational ideas to them.
According to this line of thinking, all the generals spoke one after another and chose the most suitable direction of attack at present, that is, Anyuan County, which was only fifty or sixty miles away from here and did not have much defensive preparation.
Zhao Yue took 100,000 Chu soldiers and entered the empty tent left by Yang Yun, but there was no trace of joy in occupying the other party's camp.
"Everyone will expand the search area a little, and they have tens of thousands of troops withdrawing, and it is impossible not to leave a trace of them. You must find out where they are now as quickly as possible, and you must not let them reach the front line and cause problems for Marshal Yu. The enemy actually disappeared without a trace, and Zhao Yue was very depressed.
The scouts were busy for a long time, and finally found out the location of the army led by Yang Yun, this news made Zhao Yue feel very surprised, the enemy actually ran to Anyuan County.
If Yang Yun fled to other towns, it would be easier to deal with them, but this Anyuan was different, because in Anyuan, the traffic extended in all directions, and it was really difficult to surround them.
Also, there are no military points around Anyuan County, and once they want to escape, it is very difficult to think of the nearby garrison cooperating to surround them.
But the task he carried out was to exterminate the tens of thousands of soldiers brought by Yang Yun. Therefore, although he could not catch up with the enemy, Zhao Yue must also show a posture to let his men have soldiers in hand, abandon the bulky combat equipment, go into battle lightly, and chase after the enemy stationed in Anyuan as quickly as possible.
As expected, by the time Zhao Yue led his soldiers to Anyuan, Yang Yun and his men had already disappeared without a trace with their soldiers.
