Li Su also thought about it: Why did his "best strategy" against Zhang Chun be exactly the same as when Sima Yi dealt with Gongsun Yuan, but Zhang Chun did not fall for it? Could it be that Zhang Chun's intelligence value is higher than that of Gongsun Yuan?

Later, he pondered for a long time, and finally got a self-justifying explanation: Maybe it was because Gongsun Yuan had more retreats than Zhang Chun, so he was even more hesitant.

When Wei destroyed Yan in later generations, Yan was only a vassal state in name, and never expressed the intention of overthrowing Wei's rebellion, at most he only had the heart of secession, and Gongsun Yuan still had the opportunity to surrender at any time. Voting is nothing more than losing power, but he can save his life, so Gongsun Yuan often sways when making decisions.

And the Erzhang regime has no room for maneuver. Zhang Ju was proclaimed emperor, and he also clearly shouted the slogan of taking the world on behalf of the Han. Therefore, when the Han Dynasty exterminated Erzhang, the other coercive Hu tribes were likely to be pardoned anyway, and only Erzhang was certain to die.

Even Liu Yu's red reward was clearly stated to buy two heads, which is not negotiable.

Therefore, Zhang Chun's determination to go crazy and fight the Han Dynasty to the end before his death more or less made up for the lack of intelligence. As long as a person is more determined, then the probability of him being deceived by various divisive tactics is greatly reduced.

This is the best way to die, and it is not a sin of wisdom.

Fortunately, Li Su's step by step is three plans, and after all, there is one suitable for Zhang Chun.

……

On June 14, after Liu Bei, Zhang Hao, and Xian Yunu held each other on the side of the Liao Tunnel for more than 20 days, it finally came the day when Zhou Tai's team went to Xiangping to steal grain from the front line for the fourth time.

After observing it three times, Zhang Hao finally felt that he had completely seen through the real deployment of the Han army, and he couldn't help but go out to rob the grain.

There is no way, from the camp tents, stoves, cooking tobacco, the frequency and scale of grain transportation, and the difficulty of messenger scouts between Liao, Tunnel and Xiangping...... and so on at least five aspects of evidence, which is enough to prove that stealing home is the main direction of attack of the Han army.

With so much evidence, what else is there to wait?

If this is not true, the Oscar winner does not have this acting skills!

And after observing so many times, Zhang Hao also figured out the marching speed of the Han army's grain team - from the Liao Tunnel to Xiangping, a total of 200 miles, and Zhou Tai's grain transportation team took an average of eight days to make a round trip, that is, 50 miles a day.

Occasionally, there is a faster day or a slower day, and the empty car may also go a little faster on the return trip, obviously the Han army does not want to be thoroughly figured out the law, so it creates a little more variables within the scope of the conditions.

None of that matters, though.

The important thing is that in this process, Zhang Hao also figured out one of the easiest points to start: that is, the point where the Zhou Taiyun grain team set off from the camp of the Liao Tunnel and spent a whole day and rested on the first night.

Now it is the sixth day of the lunar calendar, and the weather in the north is also very hot, and the army can often sleep in the open at night, or cover a little light and simple tents, and even do not need to do anything to defend the temporary camp.

That is, considering that this road has been walked several times, Zhou Taicai has made up a little bit every time to make the temporary camp a little more presentable. Every time I left, I left the wooden shelves, only the tent cloth was ripped away, and I camped here the next time I came back.

There are about three such overnight stops along the entire grain route.

Among these three points, this point on the first night is the most suitable for the two rebels to raid the camp and rob the grain at night!

"If it is farther, we have to leave the Liaojiao fortress for at least hundreds of miles to attack, so that our army will also consume too much physical strength before the battle, and the farther the attack, the greater the danger of hitting the main force of the Han army that has gone to Xiangping, in case we are just about to engage Zhou Tai, we are bumped into by the main force of Zhao Yun's Han cavalry, and Zhao and Zhou will attack us, and the outcome will be unpredictable.

Therefore, just staring at the camp on the first night of Zhou Taidong's entry, focusing on this one point, the enemy has the lowest possibility of reinforcements, I hope that General Xian Yu must remember this, I wish you success! ”

These words are the precautions that Zhang Hao earnestly instructed him to teach before Xian Yunu attacked.

Although Xian Yunu's status is not below Zhang Hao, he has an advantage, that is, he is very self-aware of himself as a Xianbei person, and he knows that his intelligence value must be lower than that of Han generals.

Therefore, in the early morning of 15 June, that is, in the second half of the night after the first night of the camp after the departure of the Zhou Tai grain transport team, Xian Yunu took 8,000 soldiers and horses and 4,000 infantry cavalry to the north bank of the Liao River, 50 miles east of the Liao Tunnel.

For this battle, Xian Yunu's soldiers also specially slept during the day to fall into the jet lag, slept all afternoon the day before, got up in the evening to eat, and then marched fifty miles at night to come here.

On the opposite side of the Liaohe River, the temporary camp of the Zhou Tai grain transport team was already in sight, where there were 2,000 soldiers and men carrying grain, as well as hundreds of large ox carts.

8,000 troops fighting 2,000 people, or sneak attack and rob the camp to burn food, it will definitely be a quick victory! Zhou Tai couldn't hold the alarm and wait for Guan Yu in the direction of the Liao Tunnel or Zhang and Zhao in the direction of Xiangping to come to the rescue.

Otherwise, Zhang Hao would not have gambled to rob more than half of the troops of the Liao Tunnel Fortress, what he wanted was a quick victory.

"General, it's three o'clock in the third watch, do you want to attack?" Xian Yunu's relatives next to him looked at the moon and stars and asked anxiously.

Xian Yunu shook his head: "Don't worry, wait for the fourth watch, the fourth watch is the time when the Han people are the most sleepy and sleepy, and we brought a total of 8,000 people this time, and the Han foot soldiers account for at least half, even if it is our Xianbei warriors, not all of them can see clearly at night." It's better to wait until the fourth watch, and there will be morning light when we fight, so that we have more soldiers and fewer Han soldiers, so that we will not trample on each other. ”

The armies of the camps must consider the problem of trampling on each other in the dark.

If it is the harassment of "Gan Ning Hundred Cavalry Robbing Cao Ying", of course it doesn't matter, because the people you encounter are all enemies, and the enemy army is hundreds of times more than the friendly army, and no matter how indiscriminately you kill, you will not accidentally hurt your own people.

And Xian Yunu's troops are many times larger than the Han army, and he wants to annihilate them all, rather than steal them and leave, so he must consider the vision of a large-scale quick battle.

He let his troops rest on the north bank of the Liao River for another half an hour, and only when the time was almost right did he order a general attack.

"Lang~" Some noisy sounds sounded, and the fence stakes of several Zhou Tai's camps were picked up, pulled out, and knocked down, and then finally the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded.

Seven or eight thousand rebels rushed in.

However, the expected panic did not appear, the Han army seemed to be very calm, and the initial wave of rebel vanguard was overturned by the bow and crossbow shot of "poof~poof~".

"Huh? The Han army was actually prepared? No matter what, heaps are piled up to kill them, just Zhou Tai has no nameless generals, let's die! "Rarely on the slave arrow, I have to send it.

……

Long before the rebels entered the camp, as the commander of the night guard, Tai Shici had already noticed that something was wrong on the only outpost in the camp.

Thanks to the military advisor's repeated care for him, the first night of camp after the grain transport team left the camp in the Liaohe Tunnel was the most dangerous, because it was the most vulnerable area of influence for the enemy to rob.

Therefore, when he arrived at this station, Tai Shici was very careful about transporting grain four times in a row, and he would rather sleep in the grain truck during the day tomorrow to make up for sleep.

If you change to someone with a higher status, you may slack off if you don't have an accident a few times in a row.

But Tai Shi Ci has no slack capital.

He was still a wanted fugitive more than a month ago, and he was discovered by Guan Yu in the martial arts exercise and awarded the position of tun chief, Tai Shici must find a way to make meritorious contributions and prove himself as soon as possible.

Moreover, as the head of the district, Li Boya also asked him to take care of how he acted many times, which made Tai Shici feel honored and very face-saving.

You must know that Li Suke is one of the only two princes in Liaodong today, and if the marquis is willing to talk to you, he can afford you.

What's more, just a few days ago, Tai Shi Ci learned that his family was also taken care of by Liu Fujun by a ship from Donglai, which made Tai Shi Ci even more grateful to Dade and decided to work hard - by the way, this decision has nothing to do with Li Su, it was completely made by Liu Bei naturally.

Who made Liu Bei a person who is very good at winning people's hearts, and even the tricks that Kong Rong wanted to get in later generations, Liu Bei used it very easily, like instinct.

At this moment, after discovering that there was a risk of the enemy approaching the camp, Tai Shici immediately sent two clever soldiers to inform Sima Zhoutai and Junhou Dianwei respectively.

Dian Wei still inevitably drank a little wine at night, this little problem can't be changed, but he didn't drink much, and when he had time to wake up, he still struggled quickly, splashed his face with cold water, put on armor, and picked up the double iron halberd to complete the preparations.

Dian Wei is also a typical military merit that cannot be put on the table, so in the eyes of outsiders, he is still an "unknown general". He had been a bodyguard by Li Su's side before, but this time, in order to paralyze the enemy and lure the enemy to rob the grain, the famous generals with prestige could not be sent to transport grain, so Li Sucai sent Dian Wei to cooperate with the pig and the tiger.

Therefore, don't look at the food team of these thousands of people, there are no famous generals, but in fact, there are many potential fierce people.

For two-thirds of the grain wagons were actually empty, and they were carrying soldiers, not grain. Therefore, the number of Han troops in Zhoutai's camp was actually twice as large as the rebels expected, and there were many fierce people.

After encountering the robbery camp, the Han army quickly lined up the empty grain wagons and set up them as an obstacle to temporarily defend against the cavalry charge. They also knocked down all the straw canopies that were camouflaged on the outside of the empty grain trucks and used to cover the soldiers hiding in the trucks and piled them up in front of the formation, so that the straw that could easily catch fire would not be ignited by enemy rockets and burned to their own positions.

With such a good position to engage the rebels, it is natural that they will not panic at all, even if the number of rebels is still more than twice that of the Han army's food team, they will not be able to take it for a while.

"Hurry up and release the rocket! The Han army is prepared! First burn the camp tents of the Han army and the grain and grass transported! After Xian Yunu saw that his vanguard was first overturned by the dense rain of arrows, he also knew that Zhou Tai was not dazed, and he was afraid that the night patrol was very strict, so he retreated.

The rebels quickly fired the rockets they had specially prepared for the night, and for a time tens of thousands of rockets were thrown at each other.

Because of the heavy head and light tail and poor aerodynamic shape, the rocket's flight speed and lethality are much weaker than ordinary bows and arrows. But in any case, the efficiency of arson is still okay.

"Hula~" In the open space more than ten steps in front of the Han army's vehicle formation, many camouflage grass tents thrown down by the Han army were set on fire, but they formed an intermittent fire barrier between the Han army and the rebels, which further and more obstructed the route of the eager attacking side. The two sides were separated by a fire equivalent to hundreds of carts of straw, and their eyes were not clear, and they could only charge and engage in hand-to-hand combat in the gap where there was no fire.

As a result, it became increasingly difficult for the rebels to exert their numerical superiority immediately. A large number of troops were piled up behind, forming a refueling tactic, and they could only launch waves of charges from the few openings where there was no fire.

Zhou Tai and Dian Wei personally led their own soldiers to guard the two widest gaps without fire, spears and halberds flew one after another, and waves of rebel soldiers rushed in at the gaps, but they were all shattered by the elite of the Han army like broken waves slapped on stones.

Xian Yunu supervised the formation in the rear, and was secretly frightened: Didn't you say that the Han army's grain transportation team was all second-line unknown generals? How can you fight so bravely?

He saw Zhou Tai's banner sitting in a gap in the fire field, with a spear and shield array next to it, as well as a bow and crossbow pressure array, and countless brave infantry with swords, shields, axes and shields next to him were defending side by side, and the soldiers of the rebel shock could not kill it at all.

"I heard that there are brave infantry troops under Liu Bei's account, named Danyang soldiers, all of whom are Shanyue barbarians who use swords, shields and heavy hammers, it seems that these are Danyang soldiers, and they really live up to their reputation." Xian Yunu secretly observed, and couldn't help but sigh.

However, he is not an easy person to be a fierce general, and the enemy general's good fighting has aroused his bloodthirst.

Xian Yunu copied out the hardest bow, took advantage of the fact that he was in the dark, and Zhou Tai was in the light, secretly and carefully aimed, and shot an arrow.

Zhou Tai was frantically slashing the enemy soldiers around him, and the wind of the flames next to him was very loud, and he couldn't hear the sound of arrows breaking through the wind at all. Fortunately, he was wearing iron armor and had ribs to block it, so he was not seriously injured.

"Uhh Zhou Tai roared violently, and actually pulled out the arrow that was not deep in the flesh, and counterattacked and slashed more and more fiercely, stabbing to death five rebel soldiers around him one after another.

"What? There is even a ruthless person who has been hit by an arrow and does not affect his martial arts at all? Won't his hands tremble when the arrow sores hurt? ”

"Zhou Sima retreat, I'll kill the enemy soldiers here."

Soon after Zhou Tai was hit by the arrow, there was an increasingly violent roar from behind, and then he saw Dian Wei, who was holding two blades and not holding a shield, rushing over for reinforcements.

The rebel soldiers saw that Dian Wei did not have long soldiers, and his halberd was much shorter than the spears of ordinary infantrymen, so they bullied him for not being able to go far, and his morale was greatly boosted for a while.

All the nearby rebel infantry with spears and spears rushed over to stab Dian Wei first, hoping to take advantage of the length of their weapons to stab Dian Wei to death.

However, they didn't expect that Dian Wei just laughed, and then the double iron halberd rotated the body and swept away the full dozen spear shafts.

Then he used the sprig of one of the halberds to lock all the spear shafts to one side, and the enemy spearmen all opened the door wide and could not be replayed, and the other halberd quickly rushed forward, slashing wildly, and in a few strokes hacked to death the dozen or so spearmen who were locked in their weapons.

Xian Yunu pressed the formation behind him, and was dumbfounded: How could this Han army officer, who had no name or banner, have such terrifying strength?

If you want to talk about Dian Wei's moves, it is really not surprising at all, but the key is that his single halberd can set up more than a dozen spears of small soldiers, this power is too terrifying.

Xian Yunu's hands trembled slightly, and he picked up the bow and arrow again, and released another cold arrow, but it was swept away by Dian Wei's flying halberd.

Xian Yunu had to step forward again, get closer and shoot again, this time it was already close to being only thirty or forty steps away from Dian Wei, and finally hit an arrow, slightly delaying Dian Wei's action.

But just when Xian Yunu was proud, he didn't notice that there was also an arrow coming at him from the opposite side.

It is also thanks to Xian Yunu that Xian Yu is a famous cavalry and archery general in Xianbei, and he is born with a quick instinct to react, and when he heard the sound of breaking wind, he immediately turned his head sideways, so that he could avoid the arrow that came straight to his throat, but he was also grazed by the blade, and a half-inch deep cut was cut between his chin and cheek.

"Uhh......h

"I'm fine, I'm okay! Don't mess around! Xian Yunu endured the severe pain, vomiting blood and roaring wildly, lest it affect morale.

But in the distance, many rebel soldiers saw that the main general was rarely killed by the slave and fell from the horse, and they still became irrepressibly confused.
