Chapter 256: The Attacking Shu Army

"Order the generals of all armies and battalions to strictly restrain their subordinates, remember Your Majesty's kindness, and fight for the country with all their hearts!" Early in the morning, after inspecting the Han army's villages, I saw that the depressed atmosphere had eased a little, but many soldiers were too lax, and ordered to Xun with a calm face.

As the sun rose, the sound of drills in the Han camp sounded as usual, and the combat formations were rehearsed without any influence. And with the dispatch of the heralds, soon, the generals of the various armies gathered in the Chinese army, and the commander discussed the army with the generals.

Liu Chengxun sat in the auditory, and he also caught up, calm and measured, sitting upright, with a little curiosity in his intelligent eyes. Xiang Xun adhered to the capable style, and went straight to the point, saying: "Our army has been here for several months, and the battle has been fruitless for a long time. Now, it has reached the autumn high, the fighter plane has appeared, and I plan to move troops to break through! ”

As soon as these words fell, even the generals who had foreseen it were all in good spirits, and their waists were more upright.

"Regarding the combat strategy of this time, we will adopt public opinion and want to take a fire attack! Today's mighty city is a stove full of dry firewood and dead wood, and 2,400 fire oil bombs have been collected in front of the camp, and at that time, it is time to burn down the Shu army! Xiang Xun said coldly.

Listening to Xiang Xun's words, Han Chongyun, who was standing behind, subconsciously glanced at Shi Shouxin, and he really expected it first.

Xiang Xun still had a serious face, and said meticulously: "After you return to the camp, when the whole army is ready for war, there is more water stored in the camp, and all the remaining trees around it will be cut down!" This fire, I am afraid that the surrounding mountains and forests will be destroyed, and we must be careful! ”

Xiang Xun has been planning this matter for a long time, and in order to avoid abruptness, when he was cutting down trees and setting up a village, he ordered the indiscriminate felling of trees, so that around the Han camp, the trees were sparse and there was a bare "isolation zone".

"In this battle, the Longqi Army will first attack the fire prevention with a thunderbolt car!" Xiang Xun looked at Wang Quanbin.

"Obey!" Gao Huaide responded decisively, with a positive attitude and an excited expression.

"The Xingjie army will attack after the rear!" Xiang Xun looked at Wang Quanbin again.

Although he was a little disappointed, Wang Quanbin still hugged his fists and responded to the order.

"The rest of the armies, each ready, ready to be deployed at any time!"

As soon as he finished talking about the general arrangement, he suddenly heard an urgent report from the scout, and the military situation of the Shu army had changed. Urgently summoned the military academy to enter and listened to its report: "Qi Yu is marshal, the Shu army is moving, and the five thousand Shu troops in Tangcang Town are going north, watching their movements, the purpose is probably the Huanghua Valley, and there are also Shu troops in the valley, entering the Tun Baijian." ”

Hearing the report, Xiang Xun suddenly got up, walked to the map hanging in the tent, and studied the place names. After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help laughing: "Baijian and Huanghua Valley are all behind our army!" It seems that the Shu army really can't bear it, this is to cut off my back road! ”

"A few days ago, the Wu De Division and the Military Intelligence Department came to report one after another, saying that under the order of the Shu Court, the Shu army will have an attack, and this is their choice!" Xiang Xun sighed.

"Du Shuai, Baijian and Huanghua Valley are all in the rear of our army, and it involves our army's grain road, especially Huanghua Valley, which is easier to cut off the back road, and there is no room for loss, there are not many defenders there, if the Shu army succeeds, the situation of our army will inevitably be greatly depressed!" Gao Huaide said solemnly.

Although he had insight into the movements of the Shu army, Xiang Xun did not dare to be careless, and after a little consideration, he said solemnly: "We must deal with it quickly, especially the enemy of Tangcang!" ”

"Du Shuai, the last general asks for an attack, the Tang Cang Shu army is sent to Huanghua Valley, it will take a long detour, and the last general is willing to lead his subordinates to support and meet the Shu army!" Han Chongyun couldn't help but come out of the queue and clenched his fists and asked for his life. He saw that on the side of the camp, he was afraid that it would be difficult for them to take their turn, but now that he had the opportunity, he naturally actively asked for his life.

Wang Renzhen also stood up at this time, and asked strongly: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Seeing this, Han Chongyun's brows suddenly furrowed, and he felt a little unhappy. Xiang Xun waved his hand to stop the others who were eager to try, and his eyes wandered around the two of them a few times, and he paced, as if he was thinking about who to send.

At this time, Shi Shouxin, who had always been low-key and modest, finally stood up and said: "Du Shuai, why don't you divide your troops again, enter Tangcang, and pull out this nail buried in the side of our army." In this way, by the way, you can also cut off the way back from the Shu army, such as the destruction of the Shu army, the enemy of Baijian will collapse, and the commander will attack the mighty city again, then the Shu army on the opposite side will inevitably collapse on the whole line! ”

"General Shi has sharp eyes!" Xiang Xun couldn't help but bow his head, without hiding his admiration at all, his eyes rolled, and he said: "The enemy of Tang Cang and Baijian will be handed over to the direct army of the inner temple to deal with!" ”

"Xie Dushuai, the last general will definitely live up to the military order!" Shi Shouxin's face finally showed joy.

"Soldiers, go down and prepare!" Xiang Xun Chaoshi kept his faith and ordered.

Turning around, he studied the military map for a while, and the movement of the Shu army moved his whole body, making him see too many opportunities at once. Even the intention to set fire to the mountain has been shaken.

However, staring at the mighty city marked on Liu's map, Xiang Xun quickly strengthened his determination, and said to the generals in the tent: "Get ready today, and tomorrow you will send troops to attack the key points and defeat the Shu army in one fell swoop!" ”

"Obey!"

Shi and Han Er's side quickly left the tent and returned to the camp, mobilized their subordinates, and carried out the task. In the handsome account, it is easy to say, but it is not so easy to really execute.

On the way back to the camp, the two have clearly divided the tasks, of course, it is basically arranged by Shi Shouxin. Han Chongyun wanted to lead his troops to Huanghua Valley, but was rejected by Shi Shouxin.

When it comes to military arrangements, Shi Shouxin, who became stern, did not give a little face, and said directly: "I only bring half of the men and horses, two battalions of crossbowmen, three battalions of foot soldiers, more arrows, no debris to press the body, travel lightly, go straight to the Huanghua Valley, grab time with the Shu army, and set up an ambush in advance!"

You led the rest of the soldiers to attack Tangcang Town and move according to the situation. If the troops are insufficient and the defenses are sparse, they will be attacked. If the garrison is tight, retreat to the middle of the road to set up an ambush to stop and kill the Shu army! ”

"Yes!" In the face of the military order, Han Chongyun didn't have much to say, so he simply obeyed the order.

Huanghua Valley, because of the logistics artery, the Han army specially left a battalion of troops and people to garrison in preparation for the attack of the Shu army. In terms of defense, it is not strong, and the Shu army chose to take this as the target, obviously after spying and verification, and also knows the situation in Huanghua Valley.

Southwest of the valley mouth, about three miles away, from the congested path, turn into the post road, thousands of Shu soldiers are stopping to rest. I raised my eyes and looked at the sky, the sunset was hanging hard, and the sun was setting.

Almost a day's march, and walking the mountain paths, was very hard, and as far as the eye could see, many soldiers had lost their formation, resting wantonly, and were very scattered.

The main general, Han Jixun, was immediately angry, and immediately sent his own soldiers out to give orders, so that his corporal could take the battalion as a unit, scatter into the mountains on both sides to rest, drink and eat.

At the same time, the scouts who were sent out in advance to open the way also spy on the enemy's return.

"What's going on, is there anything unusual in Huanghua Valley? How was the Han army garrisoned? Personally handing the scout a water bag, Han Jixun asked urgently.

"Envoy!" Quenched his thirst a little, wiped his mouth, and said: "There is nothing unusual, but the guards are very tight, and the Han soldiers are constantly patrolling, and they are not vigilant!" ”

Hearing this, Han Jixun breathed a sigh of relief, this was normal, thought about it and asked, "Is there a sentry outside the village?" ”

"The subordinates are careful to spy on them, and they are close to the pass, and they have not seen the Han army sentry!"

"It seems that the Han army is still a little lax!" Han Jixun sighed, a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and immediately ordered: "Order the whole army, rest for two quarters of an hour, and then launch an attack on Huanghua Valley!" Choose 500 strong soldiers, and I will personally lead the way forward and go straight to the valley mouth! ”

"Envoy, the soldiers are exhausted from continuous marching, and it is getting late now, is it inappropriate to attack now? Why not rest all night and attack tomorrow morning? When the generals around him heard the order, they couldn't help but persuade him.

"I know the fatigue of the soldiers, it's not that I don't have compassion for the situation, it's just that the soldiers are fast and can't afford delay." Han Jixun said: "In the past three months, the two armies have sent scouts and spying on each other. It is necessary to react to the Han army, take Huanghua Valley, and strengthen the defense.

Otherwise, once the Han army reacts, and the Huanghua Valley has not fallen, our army will be in danger! Moreover, since our army has touched the valley mouth and is close under the nose of the Han army, how long can it be completely invisible? ”

"Tell the soldiers, hold on a little longer, overcome fatigue, there will be hundreds of soldiers and civilians stationed in Huanghua Valley, as long as you take it, you can rest assured!" Han Jixun patiently explained.

"Obey!" After listening, the generals around him were obviously persuaded and immediately arranged it.

Han Jixun continued to endure fatigue, fighting his spirits, holding the hilt of the knife in his left hand, looking at the north with his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to be able to see the destination of this time, Huanghua Valley, through the heavy trees.

In the defeat of the scalping village, Han Jixun was conscious and careless, and this attack was his initiative to ask for his life, intending to be ashamed.

As soon as the hour came, as arranged before, Han Jixun personally led five hundred elite soldiers in front, touched the mouth of Huanghua Valley, and launched an attack on the Han army guards in Huanghua Valley together.
