Chapter 20: Banquet Li's Clever Mistake, Meng Lang Breaks Shuo's Fang (Middle)
Out of Meng Lang's tent, Gou Xiong walked a few steps, stood still, and glanced back.
The following on the side was puzzled and asked, "General, what are you looking at?" ”
Gou Xiong touched his chin and said: "The old puppet dog is bold, disrespectful to the 'countrymen', killed a lot of our adults and chieftains in Xianyang, and wanted to kill you a few days ago, flying and domineering, it's really hateful!" But it is indeed a little strategic, and it is no wonder that the king loves him. ”
Thinking of the incident that was almost killed by Meng Lang a few days ago, Gao Gao was quite afraid.
He was sincerely grateful to Gou Xiong and said: "If it weren't for the general's efforts, I'm afraid the head of the last general would no longer be the last general's!" ”
Meng Lang was in charge of the army alone this time, he was in the army, and he didn't have much contact with Meng Lang before, to be honest, he didn't look down on Meng Lang. A Tang man doesn't say it, he is still crepe, he can't shoot with his hands, he has no power to restrain chickens, he is an old man who is almost fifty years old, how can he be their general, command and order their army of tigers and wolves? But now he is a little more afraid of Meng Lang.
In addition to fear, of course, there are also two points of hatred.
Gao Gao also looked back at Meng Lang's account, his mood was complicated, and said: "The general praised him for his strategy, I don't know what strategy he has?" ”
"It's a secret of the military plane, but it's going to start tomorrow, so it's okay to tell you." Gou Xiong held the hilt of the knife, took a step, and said as he walked towards the tent area of the headquarters, "The day before yesterday, we detected that Su Guwan led the troops to come to the aid of Shuofang, ambushed the river in advance, and attacked him halfway through, beat him and fled. This is the old man's plan, you already know it. ”
In the battle of attacking Su Guwan, Gao Gao also participated, and the ins and outs of this battle were relatively clear, so he responded: "Yes." ”
"We could have won this battle easily, but why did we fight for more than half a day? At the beginning of the war, we had an advantage, and I was not in a hurry to expand the results, I remember, at that time, you repeatedly asked for battle, I did not allow it, do you know why? ”
"The last general didn't know at the time, but later I knew that the general was planning to transfer Zhao Yanli out of the city."
"Exactly. I won't hide it from you, this ploy is not what I thought of, it is really the old man's plan! ”
"Didn't it work out?"
"That's why I said the old man has a little strategy! When one plan failed, he gave birth to a second plan. ”
"Dare to ask the general, what is the second plan?"
Similar to Gao Gao's mood, Gou Xiong's mood is also more complicated at this time, his tone is a little admired, and a little habitually contemptuous of Meng Lang, and said: "These two plans are to feint to attack Lilan and destroy Zhao Rangan; After killing Zhao Rangan, he returned to his master and broke Koji Lan again. After defeating the two enemy armies outside Shuofang City, concentrate your forces and attack Shuofang by water! ”
Zhao Yanli's overall defensive deployment was to shrink most of the troops and stick to the county seat of Shuofang, and outside, he put a cavalry force of several thousand people in response. The commander of this cavalry is Zhao Rangan. This person is Zhao Yanli's most capable son.
Gao didn't understand too much, and said, "Feint to attack Koran? Water Attack? ”
"Not bad."
"What's a feint?"
"I've challenged Koran twice, but he can't get out of camp. Tomorrow, I will send someone to challenge him, and you say, what will happen to him? ”
Gao said: "I think I still don't dare to go out of the camp and engage the general. Understood the meaning of "feint to attack Koran", and said, "The last general understands." The general means that he will challenge Koi Lan on the surface, and secretly, he will attack Zhao Rangan! ”
Zhao Rangan's name for bravery, Gao Gao also heard of it, he said, "General, this plan seems to be good, but Zhao Ran's cadres have thousands of Tiefu cavalry, I heard that this person is quite fierce. General, even if it's a rush, I'm afraid it's not easy to win, right? If they fall into a bitter battle, so that Na Lilan and Zhao Yanli can hear the news, and the two of them send troops to help, it will be difficult to say what the battle situation will be! ”
"If Zhao Rangan is heavily guarded, we will fight him with open swords and guns, and it may not be easy to win, but what if he is not strictly guarded?"
"How can you call him unguarded?"
"It's so simple."
"The last general is ignorant, and he dares to ask the general to make it clear."
As if he had come up with this plan, Gou Xiong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "As long as we make the momentum of challenging Lilan a little bigger, and deliberately release the news so that Zhao Rangan knows, won't it be done?" ”
Praise highly; "What a clever plan, General!"
Gou Xiong laughed.
Gao completely understood the "feint attack on Koran Lan", but what does "water attack Shuo Fang" mean?
He subconsciously looked at the location of the Yellow River to the north and asked, "General, is the 'water attacking Shuofang' to lead the water of the big river into Shuofang City?" ”
Gou Xiong nodded and said, "Yes." Shuofang city is strong, there are many soldiers and horses inside and outside, if you attack strongly, it will be difficult to overcome in a short time, and our army's casualties will be not small, because it is better to borrow water to irrigate the city. Zhao Yanli is like a turtle with a shrunken head, Su Guwan was killed by us, and he can endure not leaving the city. Hehe, then pour water into the city and make him a turtle for real! ”
This spring, the Yellow River is being opened, and during the opening of the Yellow River, there will sometimes be floods. Lingxin refers to the fact that the snow and ice in the upper reaches have melted, and the river water in the downstream has not yet thawed. Although there was no major flood in the section of the Yellow River in the north of Shuofang County this year, the water potential has risen even more than usual, and it is absolutely not a problem to use it to irrigate a city.
The only problem is that it takes enough labor to dig rivers and store water to rush the city.
Including the people, Meng Lang and Gou Xiong only brought more than 30,000 people, excluding the troops used in daily vigilance and battles, and they could not use much spare manpower. How to solve this problem? It's easy to solve. Meng Lang had already obtained Pu Mao's order to send an order to the county, and asked the county to recruit Tang and Hu to serve as laborers, and within ten days, he must gather enough 10,000 people and send them to the army.
Gao gasped and said in his heart: "What a poisonous plan!" ”
Shuofang County is now full of Tiefu Hu Mu who was summoned by Zhao Yanli. Zhao Yanli claims to be 100,000 to the outside world, and 100,000 is definitely not available, but 350,000 is almost always available. Once the city is flooded by the water of the Yellow River, it can be foreseen that not only Zhao Yanli will really become a turtle, but these 350,000 Tiefu Hu herdsmen, including the local indigenous people, will probably all become fish and turtles.
Gou Xiong joined the army at a young age, fought for more than 20 years, and never used the strategy of water attack. At this time, in retrospect, he once again looked back at Meng Lang's tent in the distance, spat out, and said in his heart: "Although the old puppet has some schemes, breaking the formation and pulling out the flag, and winning the battle against the enemy, in the end, don't you still have to rely on Lao Tzu?" ”
The next day, Gou Xiong sent people to fight outside the tent in Koolan.
Koji Lan really shouldn't.
In order to set up a suspicious array for Zhao Yanli so that he could not detect the true intentions of the Qin army in time, Meng Lang ordered the temporary withdrawal of the southern siege of Shuofang, and put on a posture that still wanted to lure Zhao Yanli out of the city to support the Lilan Army.
Zhao Ran was riding outside, and his whereabouts were uncertain. At the same time, Meng Lang dispersed the scouts and had already found out their exact location.
Gou Xiong led 3,000 horses, quietly went out of the camp, and under the leadership of the guide, he attacked him.
Zhao Rangan received a military report saying that the Qin soldiers would attack Lilan. He sent a few people back to the city to ask Zhao Yanli and ask him what to do? is like sitting back and not saving; Or send troops to help? is waiting for Zhao Yanli's reply. There was little defense in the army.
Gou Xiong suddenly led troops to attack, and Zhao Ran's cadres who were camping in the field were suddenly in chaos.
Worthy of the name of being fierce, Zhao Ran was not afraid of danger, gathered dozens of elite armored cavalry, did not retreat, but went up, attacked the Qin array twice, and killed several scattered generals and small rates of the Qin soldiers.
Gou Xiong was furious and charged lightly.
Zhao Rangan recognized Gou Xiong, led the armor cavalry, and came to meet the battle in person.
The battle took place on a meadow. The spring grass is slippery and covers the ground. Gou Xiong is also unlucky, the war horse stepped on a rat hole, galloping, where to retract the momentum? The mount fell, and Gou Xiong was thrown away. The long lance in his hand was broken into several pieces, and he couldn't use it, even the flail, bow and other weapons were on the horse, and he didn't have time to get it.
Gou Xiong's horse was fast, and the soldiers he led were left behind, and he couldn't be rescued, and Zhao Rangan's overjoyed expression could be seen.
Gou Xiong touched a fist-sized stone in his hand, turned over and got up, dumbfounded, and threw the stone with all his might, hitting Zhao Rangan's horse's head. However, what Zhao Ran ran was riding was a armored horse, and from beginning to end, there was iron armor. There is almost no difference between a hit and a miss on this stone. Gou Xiong took off his pocket, turned sideways to let Zhao Rangan, who was too close, stabbed him, squatted down, swung his hammer and smashed, his eyes were quick, and he hit Zhao Rangan's mount hard. The four-legged is the only position where the armor rider lacks adequate protection.
Zhao Rangan's horse screamed, staggered forward a few steps, and under the unbearable pain, he could no longer walk, and fell crookedly.
Zhao Rangan's remnants of the cavalry led by him were killed one after another.
Gou Xiong couldn't take care of Zhao Rangan for a while, grabbed the hammer in his hand, stepped forward to fight, and shouted a fierce battle.
But seeing that he was braided around his neck, he was fearless against dozens of pigtailed iron armor riders, and he was actually smashing his hands and dragging him, invincible.
