Chapter 131: Sneak attack on Anyang
The morning sun began to rise on the eastern horizon, and Anyang City was in the absolute rear, so they did not need to be on guard at all, so they followed the exact time when the sun rose over the horizon, and the soldiers guarding the city gate opened the heavy city gate, and the people, who had been waiting impatiently to leave the city, rushed out of the city gate to look for firewood and what they needed.
And the caravans that had been waiting outside the city for a long time pulled large carts and small vehicles into the city to bring the food and other materials needed by the people in the city into the city.
A city that had slept overnight has truly awakened and begun to regain its vitality.
Dongcheng made, and their ancestors have held this position for generations, so their family used Dongcheng to make their own surname, and they were called by everyone.
A huge caravan appeared outside the city gates, and the leader of the caravan was an old acquaintance.
Dongcheng Zao only felt that it was different from the past, this time it was relatively large, with a hundred carriages of materials and five hundred people's escorts, which seemed a little unreasonable.
According to the skills and habits passed down from his ancestors, Dongcheng Zao immediately became vigilant and intercepted him.
The old acquaintance of the caravan was a little displeased: "I pass by here almost every month, and I have never done anything to be a traitor, brother, you have embarrassed me this time, I don't know what it is." ”
Dongcheng replied apologetically: "It's not that I embarrass you, but now this Anyang has become a logistics supply base for the army going north, and a message has been sent from above, in order to ensure the safety of a large number of military supplies stored in the city, it is necessary to strictly check the merchants in the past, so as not to leak the military situation." I ask for this gentleman's forgiveness. ”
At this time, the ancients had not yet developed a good habit of exploiting and deducting deductions, and they were official and conscientious, which was a rule that they had in their bones. But human affection is a thing that people in this era value more. For his almost impersonal approach, Dongcheng felt ashamed of his old friend, so he patiently explained that he had no choice.
Knowing the reason, the old acquaintance of the caravan forgave him haha: "Since it was an order from above, we can't disobey it, so please do a routine thing, check my goods, and then let me pass through the customs." By the way, I've already found the herb you asked me to look for last time. ”
Dongcheng made a lot of thanks, "How much?" ”
"Ten bucks."
Dongcheng made a thank you again while taking the money.
As the two of them spoke, the convoy naturally flowed into the city.
As a result, when the convoy entered the city, a carriage coincidentally broke its axle in the hole in the city gate, directly blocking the city gate.
This was definitely a sudden event, and it made everyone feel at a loss for a while. In order to take care of the people behind, the people in front had to stop and turn around to come back to help, and the people in the back had to help the front to open the road, and for a while, hundreds of people were blocked inside and outside the city gate, and slowly squeezed Dongchengzao and his brother aside.
At this time, a chariot came from the city, and the general on the chariot couldn't help frowning when he saw such chaos at the city gate, parked the chariot at the door, and scolded loudly: "A group of bastards, if you don't dredge the city gate quickly, the convoy that is going to deliver materials to the front line will come in a while, delaying the delivery of materials to the front line, and it is a capital crime." ”
As soon as he shouted like this, the leader of the caravan hurriedly ran up in fear, and bowed to this armor soldier again and again: "It's all small, isn't it, it delayed the operation of the army, I apologize here." As he said this, he suddenly took out a short sword from his bosom, flew straight up, and jumped into the chariot with surprising agility, and just as everyone was stunned in surprise, the short sword cut the throat of the general's armor.
This sudden turn of events immediately caused everyone to exclaim: "Assassins, there are assassins." But everyone exclaimed, and it was just exclaimed. Because there is no leader, everyone is at a loss.
And at this time, the carriage with a broken axle in the city gate hole, in the hands of more than a dozen strong men, was broken down like building blocks, and then these dozen strong men took the objects in their hands and immediately rushed into the city.
The Assassin hurried out of the city, waving his caravan banner and shaking it violently.
Just when the Wei people were stunned, there was a roar like a mountain shaking in the distance, and in the jungle on the other side of the horizon, countless cavalry in red armor rushed over with an overwhelming momentum, but in the blink of an eye, a young general with a white horse and silver robe led by him rushed into Anyang City with a wave of war.
Dongcheng Zao, who was close to the city wall, whispered in his mouth: "Zhao Jun, it was Zhao Jun who broke the city." ”
The assassin walked to his side with a relaxed step, panting, patted him on the shoulder comfortably, and then took out a burden in his arms: "I'm really sorry brother, here are ten catties of gold (copper) to atone for my dishonesty to you." Take it and take your family to Zhao Kingdom, where a house (thirty steps) has been prepared for you to avoid trouble.
This is the kindness of the ancients.
This Dongcheng made a look at the cavalry swarming in, and finally shook the burden in his hand, and threw his hand at the merchant: "If you have the opportunity, come to my house to drink." Then he took Changge and said to the brothers beside him: "Let's go, take your family members and go to Zhao Kingdom with me, if I have a bite to eat, I won't starve everyone to death." ”
This is the simplicity of the ancient people who watched and helped each other.
This battle was finally written into his military book by Xu Jie, because the beginning of this war opened a new concept of war, a new era - shameless.
Sun Bin Pang Juan changed the original form of etiquette of war and called war sophistry. And this war turned the war into a shameless conspiracy and calculation, but instead publicized its pride in a dignified manner.
"Anyang City, in fact, is much more than Anyang City in archaeology, and I don't know where the treasure of the oracle bone is? But forget it, there is no archaeological significance in digging it up now. Cultural relics must be buried for thousands of years to be valuable. But he turned to the inexplicable Xu Jie and instructed: "Go and ask where the sacrificial pit of the original Son of Heaven is, and then write down the details of our before and after the battle and bury it there." Be sure to make sure that my name is written very prominently, and that I must be described as tall and mighty. Looking at the inexplicable Xu Jie, he patted him on the shoulder: "Go and complete this great task, and then come back, I will ask the monarch for a knighthood for you, and you will be a nobleman at that time." ”
Xu Jie didn't have any interest in the nobles at his fingertips this time, and directly rejected the task: "The enemy's materials and forage in Anyang City are numerous, what should we do?" Did it burn directly? "This was originally planned, directly burning the enemy's supplies, so that the enemy who had already passed through Zhangshui was frightened, and those Chen soldiers were in the Wei-Qin coalition army on the Wei-Zhao border confused, so as to tell Yin Qi that you have been cut off from the back road, let Yin Qi, who has no logistics, return to the army, and let Zhang Yi and Gongsun Jia Fang be in chaos.
In this era, it is true that soldiers bring their own grain, grass and weapons, but they can't carry all the food for three months, so everyone can only carry a few hundred catties of grain, so they need to be kept in one place and then sent in batches. And the armor soldiers are supplied by the state, and they also need to be sent later.
Anyang is such a base, the food of the soldiers who exist here is burned, and the soldiers will have nothing to eat in the future, and they need to be raised and sent to them again by their families. The soldiers will be hungry, the horses will have no bean feed, the morale of the army will be completely chaotic, and the main general will have to worry about the food and drink of the whole army.
Cutting off the enemy's food routes, this is the freshest method of warfare, and it will definitely catch the commander of the army by surprise and will not deal with it.
As soon as the enemy's commander is out of order, the fighters will come.
