Chapter 343: Surprise to Attack
"New information is here!" Here in Linjing County, Han Sui found Bian Zhang and others with new information, "The Han army plans to use the method of attack and harassment to harass us ......and others day and night."
"We have more than 100,000 people, and there is nothing on duty in turn, but the other party keeps attacking day and night, can we hold on?" When Beigong Boyu heard this, he scoffed at this, could this Han army have lost their minds?
"The intelligence said that they attacked in two armies, all of them cavalry, and attacked at night. The other group attacked during the day. Han Sui immediately replied, "It also said that the soldiers and horses at night can also see normally at night, and it also said that if we can, we can find a way to eat this army and horses." ”
"Just to send a piece of information, why did he summon us?" Bian Zhang sneered, and Beigong Boyu was thoughtful.
"Four thousand war horses, plus armor and weapons, and two hundred pairs of rhubarb crossbows, the benefits are actually quite ......," Han Sui reminded.
"There are big yellow crossbows, who is the commander of this Han army? It can't be a relative of the emperor, right? Beigong Boyu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a longing look, he wanted the big yellow crossbow too much.
Every time the grassland people want to enter the Han Dynasty, the last thing they want to face is the arrow array of the big yellow crossbow. It had more than twice the range of their bows and arrows, and for the same range, the leather armor on their bodies was useless, and it had no defensive effect at all.
Han horses have indeed become less and less common in recent decades, but their rhubarb crossbows are still sharp. They can't run, and the Han can't catch up, but they can't ignore the existence of the rhubarb crossbow at all.
If he can, Beigong Boyu hopes to get a batch of rhubarb crossbows back and find a way to create them, it doesn't matter if the power is lower, so that he can dominate the grassland.
"To deal with the cavalry, of course, our cavalry will come, do you have any opinion?" After thinking about this, Beigong Boyu immediately expressed his position, as if he was afraid that someone else would rob him.
"Hehe......" Han Sui smiled faintly and did not make a statement.
"What's so funny?" Beigong Boyu was suddenly unhappy, if he had to make the incident justified, he didn't plan to coerce these so-called Liangzhou celebrities at all.
Especially this Han Sui, at first glance, he is a very cunning fox, anyway, the more he touches it, the more uncomfortable he feels.
"Leader of the North Palace, didn't you just ask what the origin of this army is?" Han Sui smiled, "It's really right for you, this commander is the clan of the Han family, the general of Zhenbei, the Taishou of Yunzhong, and Liu Tao, the Marquis of Duting." This time it was as a guest army to support the south, and the ambush in Qi County before was broken by him. ”
As soon as Han Sui said that, everyone's expressions changed, after all, 4,000 people defeated tens of thousands of people, or they were defeated in a surprise attack on a rainy night, which is indeed a bit unbelievable. How did the other party know that there was an ambush over there, and how could they take advantage of the rainy night to launch a surprise attack......
even once wondered if there was a spy inside, and reported to the Han army. Now that I know that the Han general who plans to attack at night is the one who is slaughtered on a rainy night outside Qi County, I naturally treat it with caution.
"Actually, there's no need to be so nervous......" Han Sui saw that everyone was starting to get nervous, so he smiled and said, "This time they came to steal the camp, we might as well let them steal the camp." Brake with static, so that they have no return! ”
"Yes, yes, we knew about their situation in advance, but they didn't know anything about our side, so they just caught them off guard!" Beigong Boyu laughed, and the rest of the people also echoed.
As a result, the ambush plan against Liu Tao has been launched on the side of the thief camp. At the same time, there was also the thinking of when to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, and they didn't like it, so they stayed here in Linjing County......
One needs to inquire about the reality of the Han army, after all, I heard that the Han army has changed generals and the number of people has also increased, so Han Sui said that he should stay still for a period of time, understand some of the situation of the Han army, and then make a decision; Then it was through the soldiers to the three auxiliaries, so that the Han army did not dare to move easily, they actually had half of them, looting in the rear, and constantly delivering supplies to the front.
In other words, at this stage, there are only about 70,000 thieves in Linjing County. If you don't have any concerns, what are you waiting for, go directly to Sanfu, enter Chang'an, and look at Luoyang from afar!
The ambush for Liu Tao here is in full swing, but Liu Tao's side is not slow or slow, from Yinpan County all the way to the west, and he doesn't even take the official road. It's also no rut, Linjing County comes from the east, you can detour to Yinpan County halfway, and pass Linjing County to the west, then there is only one official road left.
Just on the edge of the Jing River, the south of Linjing is a stretching mountain range, to the north on the edge of the Jing River, the whole city is like Luoyang, across the Jing River, but also rely on the Jing River for transportation.
It is said that the thieves should still be west of Linjing, and if they want to continue south, then Linjing County must be defeated. After so long, I don't know if they have been defeated?
If they have already been defeated, then they are stationed on the Linjing side, and it will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to support them to the east. After all, the surroundings of Linjing are actually surrounded by mountains, and the altitude of the mountains is too high, which is not suitable for cavalry charging at all.
At the beginning, Liu Tao planned to use Yinpan County as the place for the decisive battle to attract thieves to the south. But the thieves didn't go south, Zhang Wen didn't bother to wait, and asked them to use night attacks to attract the thieves, Liu Tao had the heart to refuse, but he didn't know how to refuse.
"General, is this road really okay?" Sun Jian had no choice but to ask, coming out of Yinpan County, it is said that he should follow the local road to the north, enter the official road and go west, and finally arrive at Linjing County, which is the basic way.
Liu Tao led everyone all the way from Yinpan to the west, and now the official road is not counted, it is completely a path walked by the feet of the villagers, and I don't know if there is a problem.
"That's the only way we can go!" Liu Tao said angrily, "Could it be that you go directly to the east of Linjing County and fight with the thieves?" Didn't this specially seconded 3,000 people to help open the way?! ”
"It's just that no one has walked this road before, and if you're not careful, you might get lost." Sun Jian had to remind. Another point, judging from the map, the south of Linjing County is full of mountains, and they estimate that the last section of the road will have to go over the mountains.
"If you find it difficult to walk, then of course the thieves will not be able to guess, we will kill from the mountains to the south!" Liu Tao smiled, "Didn't the above let us sneak attack?" Of course, we will prepare well, but the thief position in the east of Linjing County will be handed over to Dong Zhuo to be in charge, and I will be in charge of the south side! ”
There is only one official road, and there is still the Jing River next to it, if you want to attack and disturb, you can only go here, you don't have to think about it, you know, the thieves will inevitably increase the defense of the east of Linjing County in response to this situation.
What's the point of a raid if it doesn't constitute a raid? Especially since they are still cavalry, they can't charge into battle, and it is easy to be calculated by thieves in turn, so he won't be so stupid.
"Sima Sun, we have tried our best to find local villagers to lead the way, and there should be no problem with the direction." Guo Jia stepped forward to add.
"Okay then......" What else could Sun Jian say, he could only be ready to take responsibility together.
