Chapter 134: Bite or bite
After nightfall, the Wei army, who had come from afar and lost its sharpness, was just about to disarm and rest, when he suddenly heard the gongs and drums on the city wall, shouting to kill the heavens, hurriedly put on his armor and stood up, ran out of the camp tent, and mounted his horse to line up. The whole process was smooth, and it can be seen that even the soldiers were well-trained.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see the Chu army coming to rob the camp, so he knew the plan, and went back to rest with a scolding attitude.
On the second day, he continued to cut down trees to build siege equipment, and built a high mound of earth on the north side, and only sent 500 cavalry to patrol the city to prevent the Chu army in the city from secretly escaping.
This time, Qu Hong's original idea of a surprise attack was accompanied by only a simple flying claw and a bamboo ladder, but yesterday he ate a calculation, Qu Hong's psychological shadow on the Cuiyu Army was aggravated, so he simply changed the surprise attack to an open attack, and made preparations without impatience, as long as the equipment was complete, with his ten times more than the strength, oh no, eight times the strength, it was not difficult to Kecheng.
After a busy day, a vigil was arranged at night, and the others fell asleep, but the result was that the gongs and drums were noisy, shouting and killing, everyone put on armor again, and saw that there was no movement at the city gate, this time you were not welcome, all kinds of scolding mixed with saliva splashed, fighting is war, you are too shameless to fucking not let people sleep.
After scolding for half an hour, the city head was quiet enough to suffocate the ghosts, and there was no one to reply, and the Wei people, who felt bored, went back to the camp tent to sleep again.
This time I slept deeply, and even those who were on vigil and patrol relaxed to find a place to take a nap secretly, or to be lazy and take two less trips. In the early morning, when people were the most sleepy and the sky was the darkest, Wu Tao led 300 people to sneak out of the city, touched the camp of the Wei army, set fire everywhere, and left three people in each of the four corners to beat the gong and shout, creating the illusion of encirclement, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill in.
The Wei army, which was caught off guard, was frightened, and for a while I didn't know how many people came, and thought that reinforcements were coming from Yanzhou, but they suddenly had no intention of resisting and fled in all directions.
Qu Hong was coerced by the guards in his sleep and galloped for more than ten miles, his robe was tattered, unkempt, and extremely embarrassed, and when he cleaned up the rest at dawn, he got 3,500 people, and the casualties were not big, so he knew that he had fallen into Wu Tao's hands again.
When I returned to the camp again, it was better to say that the tents and military supplies that had been burned were all burned down, and the food and grass that had been raised with great difficulty had been burned to ashes.
There is no equipment to rebuild, anyway, there are many trees, but the food and grass are gone, how can people and horses fight when they are hungry? Immediately, someone had the idea of retreating and persuaded: "Town Lord, why don't you withdraw to the north bank first, and wait until you get grain and grass again?" ”
The whole country is short of food, and the grain and grass for this expedition are specially allocated to him by Yuan Mulan, but the city has not been lowered, and he goes back with a disgraced face, how can Qu Hong have the face to see Yuan Mulan?
"Not necessarily! I have my own way to break the city, so I will wait here and do this......
When Wu Tao saw that the Wei army drove thousands of people from the surrounding villages as the front drive, staggering towards the city, he was almost stunned, and said angrily: "Qu Hong, treat the people like pigs and sheep, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?" ”
Qu Hong said indifferently: "These Han people are all wolf cubs, and they can't be raised!" The Great Wei Dynasty has been in Jeju for many years, and he has done his best to be kind to them, but as soon as the Chu army came, he immediately changed his course, voted for a new master, and did not kill him, do you still keep paying for you? As he spoke, the corners of his lips were raised, revealing a somewhat sinister smile, "By the way, doesn't the Cuiyu Army claim to love the people like sons?" I want to see if you dare to disobey Xu You's military orders and fire arrows at these ordinary people! ”
The city is not big, but the terrain is high-pitched, the Guanjin is dangerous, the Northern Wei Dynasty has been operating here for many years, the city wall is extremely strong, the defense facilities are complete, there are 8,000 to 10,000 permanent residents in it, this time because the time is too tight, there is no time to move the people of the surrounding villages into the city, so that Qu Hong seized the opportunity.
Drove the people to attack the city, Xianbei did it when he didn't win the world, since Dingding Pingcheng, unified the north, in order to win the hearts of the people, rarely do such angry things. Qu Hong also had no choice, he couldn't attack it, he lived up to Yuan Mulan's high hopes, and he really didn't have the face to return to Beijing, so he simply gritted his teeth and made such a play.
After all, there is only victory and defeat in war, there is no right or wrong!
"Hahaha!" Wu Tao looked up to the sky and smiled, and mocked: "The slave who eats dog dung, the fool with the eyes of a rat, do you think the Yushitai of the Northern Wei Dynasty is a vegetarian?" Dare to do such a great injustice today, within 20 years, the Yuan family will no longer want to subdue the hearts of the people of Jeju, the emperor of the Wei family is ambitious, with the ambition of swallowing the world, you have ruined his reputation like this, mistaken his great cause, the head has already been placed under the sword and axe, and you dare to talk about my general? If the people suffer heavy casualties today, even if you can capture the forts, all the cities in Yanzhou will be held to the death, with your 3,000 cavalry, how many days can you hold out? ”
These words had an immediate effect, the Wei army's hearts fluctuated, and the two sides had fought for so many years, unless they were mad, such a situation rarely occurred. The most important thing is that everyone understands that the battlefield on the Eastern Front is only containment, and the real victory or defeat depends on the battle situation on the Luoyang side, and it is impossible to use such a means of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves.
"Town lord, I see that Wu Tao is a ruthless master, he will never sit back and watch these ordinary people climb to the top of the city, at best, it will cost more arrows, and in the end, he has to rely on the martial arts of his sons, it is better to ......"
Qu Hong turned his head abruptly, his eyes were cold, his heart was beating wildly, he couldn't speak, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he obediently retreated.
"Who else dares to argue?"
"You don't have to be afraid, the court blames, and I will bear it!"
"I don't want to think about it, what do more than 3,000 people eat when the grain and grass are burned?"
"The grain collected from the village is only enough for three days, why don't you let these Han pigs and sheep go to death and take your life to fill the moat?"
"The more Wu Tao says, the more afraid he is!"
"What the enemy fears, we must do!"
Qu Hong pointed at the generals, scolded the dog's blood, his eyes were bloody, his eyes were red, and he looked hysterical like a madman, pulled out his waist knife, pointed at the head of the city obliquely, and said: "Order, siege!" ”
The attack and defense of the skulls are still continuing, and Licheng is not easy, Lu Bina, the town lord of Jizhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Bu Tian have been on the line for many years, everyone belongs to the friendship of pouting ass and knowing what to eat today, no one dares to be careless, and they have not played any conspiracy and tricks.
The city is still there, and Butian can't spare the energy to save it.
"Bu Tian, my million-strong army is overwhelming, if you are interested, hurry up and surrender in the city, and you can also seal the fiefdom! Otherwise, cut off your head and drink wine today! ”
"Bu Liugu, when your ancestors drank blood, the ancestors of the Ye Ye family had already chanted poems and painted, we are not all the way, and we can't pee in a pot. Do you want me to descend to you, dare to have this big dream? ”
Lu Bi laughed and said: "I have said it many times, let you take the time to read often, Bu Liugu is my Xianbei surname, and it can't be used as a name, you shouted so closely, others don't know, thinking you have a habit of breaking your sleeves......"
Bu Tian was immediately annoyed, what he looked down on the most was the person who raised a child in the house, standing at the head of the city, leaning out half of his body, and sneering: "Lu Bina, you have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, not inferior to a woman, it is estimated that there is no Changyang Peak in the crotch of your pants, do you dare to take off your long eyes for everyone?" ”
Lu Bi's face was white and beardless, and he hated others to question his identity as a man the most, and he was immediately annoyed, waved his hand, and said, "Siege!" ”
Bu Tian said coldly: "Release the arrow!" ”
After Yuan Mulan gained a foothold in the slipway, the cavalry swept through and conquered five counties including Wating County, Dongyan County, Kuangcheng County, Suozao County, and Yangwu County, plus Changyuan County and Junyi County captured by Li Boqian, and all the counties in Yuzhou north of Jishui were occupied by the Wei army.
To the south of Jishui, the first to bear the brunt, is the state governance of Yuzhou!
Cangyuan has 5,000 defenders, all of whom are the strongest troops in the Chinese army, this is the bait that Xu You deliberately left for Yuan Mulan, and it is also a hard bone that will break teeth.
"Will Yuan Mulan take the bait?"
In the Department of Joining the Army, several soldiers looked at the map and discussed a lot.
"Our army has superior strength, superior equipment, and advantageous location, sufficient grain and grass, but the cavalry is lacking and cannot encircle the main force of the Wei army. If you rush into battle, you will either chase the enemy's hooves and eat ashes, or be annihilated one by one by Yuan Mulan in the movement. ”
"Therefore, the Wei army must be let in first, and then it must be lured to attack the fortified city. If the siege is not overcome, it will take a long time, and our army can calmly transfer troops, cut off its retreat, and then close the siege ......"
"Then, why does Yuan Mulan have to fight Cangyuan?"
"Because the Secret House gave it a reason not to refuse...... Cangyuan, there are 100,000 stones of grain and grass stored! ”
Luan Niao personally presided over the intelligence work of this battle, and there were two people who accompanied him, five dragon birds, and thirty-seven people who were released by the Egret Officer, accounting for almost two-thirds of the foreign marquis officials.
Therefore, when Yuan Mulan learned from the information sent by Luan Niao that Cangyuan had stored 100,000 stones of grain and grass, it was impossible not to be moved.
But years of conquest have cultivated her unparalleled sense of smell:
Kuragaki is a lot like a trap!
This trap is not clever, but a lot of times, the trap doesn't need to be too clever, it just needs to be effective.
Does it work?
Just looking at the indescribable faces of excitement in the lobby after hearing the news, Yuan Mulan had to seriously consider the feasibility of attacking Cangyuan.
"Marshal, let's fight! Didn't the information of the egret officer say, the Chu army is still cowering in Luoyang and has not been dispatched, with the swiftness of our army, we can reach the city of Cangyuan in one day and night, but there are only five thousand defenders, I will make a military order, and break the city in two days! ”
"Yes, military commander, in just two days, even if the Chu army wants reinforcements, it will be too late. Cangyuan fell into my hands, and there were 100,000 stones of grain and grass, and Yuzhou could be determined. ”
"By taking Yuzhou, our army will be able to take the initiative. In the east, you can pass through Xuzhou, and in the south, you can invade Jingxiang, and the blind emperor of Chu can still sit still? ”
"Brilliant plan! Waiting for An Xiulin to issue an edict and let Xu You lead the troops to rescue, it happened to fall into our calculations. Ha, if it weren't for Luoyang Chengjian and Tiger Prison, his 200,000 people wouldn't have given us a gap between our teeth. ”
Yuan Mulan was silent, Xu You's bait was thrown out, then, bite or not? These people under her command are right, she is not afraid of a decisive battle with Xu You, but Xu You is very smart and very tolerant, watching half of Yuzhou fall, she just sat in Luoyang to watch the excitement, and refused to send a soldier to help.
Only by laying down the cangyuan can he make a posture that threatens Jianghuai and force the emperor of Chu to mobilize Xu You to get out of the turtle shell in Luoyang.
Pitfall?
Traps, you can catch prey, and of course, you can also hunt people!
