Chapter Seventy-Six: Gone Like Lightning
"What do you say? All the grain and grass in the camp outside the city were also burned. Kong Taishou almost fainted when he heard the news.
However, he did not inform the troops outside the city, and the rice buckets learned the news and had a large battalion of fortifications and lost the battle. Alas, it's over, even if the monarch doesn't cure his own sins, the Zhi family will take his own life.
Kong Taishou suddenly had an idea, since the Jin Kingdom can't stay anymore, it is better to flee to another country.
Just when Kong Taishou was about to slip away by smearing oil on the soles of his feet, a big man with gauze wrapped around his shoulders walked over with dozens of burly soldiers.
"General Ben knows that this Lu Zhan first attacked Shucheng and then led his troops to attack my camp. Why didn't you send someone to inform me, you old thing who was a vegetarian eater! Say! ”
This made Kong Taishou completely stunned, didn't he send someone to inform the camp outside the city to take precautions, what does this general mean when he comes.
After a short period of distraction, Kong Taishou thought that this martial artist still had a bit of brains, and he actually put all the responsibility for the defeat on his own body and let himself take the blame, but he underestimated this martial artist before.
Just when the two were blaming each other, Lu Zhan had already retreated in the direction of Yanzhou with his cavalry.
As the most mobile force in ancient times, cavalry is indispensable in addition to attacking like falling from the sky, and it is also indispensable to have mobility like lightning.
The men and horses of the cavalry unit that received the sneak attack on Shucheng were stationed in the mountains, and everyone was anxiously waiting for news from the front line.
The non-stop Lu Zhan led a cavalry team of more than 1,200 people to cross countless Jin outposts under the stars, and most of the Jin soldiers only discovered it after seeing Lu Zhan's cavalry.
"Look at it like this, many places in the Jin Kingdom have already learned the news of our sneak attack on Shucheng, and the scouts in the rear have reported that nearly 2,000 people have been following and chasing us." Chen Zhuang took advantage of the rare break to say to the landing exhibition.
Hearing that the pursuing Jin cavalry was only about 2,000 people, Duan Xiaohan's mind became active, if he stopped and ambushed these Jin pursuers, he would definitely be able to win a big victory.
"It's only 2,000 people, why don't we kill one of them and destroy these rabbit cubs." As he spoke, Duan Xiaohan pulled out the saber on his waist.
Set up an ambush to deal with the pursuit, this is not a copy of the Battle of Maling. If it is really an ambush, it should be able to catch you off guard.
"No, if this is entangled by the group of pursuers behind, maybe the Jin soldiers in front will get our news, we will only have more than 1,200 people, and the infantry who will meet us is still a lot of distance from us. When we get to the meeting, we can kill a horse gun. Lu Zhan said after looking at the address of the infantry on the map.
It's just a few days of travel but everyone feels tired, most of the day spent on horseback is too difficult, I really don't know how the previous Mongolian cavalry survived, the Mongols deserve to be a nation on horseback, such a high-intensity rapid maneuver makes most of the Lu Zhan cavalry unbearable.
The garrison of Baicheng on the border between Yanzhou and Jin has not yet received the news of the attack on Shucheng, and although General Deng Mingren, who is stationed in the city, knows that the Jin Zhijia is going to use troops against Yanzhou, how did he know that Lu Zhan would make such a bold move.
"In front of the lord is the Baicheng garrisoned by Deng Mingren of the Jin Kingdom, and the infantry to receive us is also ready, do we want to" Chen Zhuang made a decapitation gesture as he spoke.
It seems that the messenger who informed Bai Cheng has not yet arrived, Lu Zhan is playing with the time difference, and he has completed everything before the news of Shucheng arrives.
At this moment, Lu Zhan was very entangled, whether to accept it when he saw it or take advantage of the victory to pursue the Jin army in Baicheng and then meet it. A classic battle in the history books suddenly inspired Lu Zhan, when the devils attacked Pearl Harbor, they did not take advantage of the victory, pursued and spared the infrastructure of American oil tanks and airports, giving the Americans the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
"Inform the infantry brothers who responded to prepare to attack the Jin army camp outside Baicheng, let's come to a siege point to send reinforcements and encircle three missing one. The first sneak attack gave the Jin army a heavy blow, and then surrounded the point to destroy the reinforcements, and the siege of the camp outside the city was missing one in order to prevent the Jin army dogs in the camp outside the city from jumping over the wall to do the fight of the trapped beasts. ”
After executing his own plan, those Jin pursuers who followed him were dealt with by themselves. Both sides were tired divisions, but their own cavalry was able to win a great victory when they faced these exhausted pursuers with more physical strength after a brief rest.
As the sun set, the soldiers on duty in the Jin army camp outside Baicheng saw the black crowd coming towards the camp, and they had not heard that there would be troops to change their guards recently. Although the soldiers were suspicious, they were not vigilant, because these infantry were coming from the direction of Shucheng, and if the enemy attacked, it must be from the direction of Yanzhou.
The general who was on duty in the camp heard his men say that several thousand people were approaching, and because it was dusk and the people who came did not raise the flag, the soldiers could not be sure of their identity.
"General, could these people be transporting grain and grass from the direction of Shucheng to us?" Said a man dressed as a junior officer.
"According to the usual practice, the grain and grass should be delivered five days later, and this time it is too early." The general stationed in the barracks was still puzzled.
"It may be because of the recent mobilization of troops against Yanzhou, so we have stepped up the transportation of grain and grass to the front line."
"There is still some truth, follow General Ben to see why these people are here." With that, the general straightened his clothes and prepared to go out.
A soldier stumbled into the camp tent and said, "The general is not good, those people who are coming are Yanzhou Lu Zhan's troops." They had already begun to attack, and the brothers on the defensiveness were caught off guard that the perimeter of the camp had already been breached. ”
After hearing the news, the general of the Jin State immediately began to mobilize troops to meet the battle, and also sent messengers to Baicheng to ask for rescue, of course, this time the heralds were not intercepted, because Lu Zhan wanted to keep these people to notify Baicheng to come to the siege to send reinforcements.
The Jin cavalry who pursued Lu Zhan's cavalry couldn't help but relax their vigilance when they saw that they were about to go to the border but still couldn't catch up, and the war horses of Lu Zhan's cavalry were all preferred high-headed horses, and the quality of the horses alone was one section higher than these Jin cavalry.
The pursuers of the Jin Kingdom, who were sleepy and tired of horses, saw that it was about to get dark and prepared to camp, and when most of them dismounted to rest and eat, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the jungle. These cavalry immediately reacted that they had been ambushed, but they hurriedly mounted their horses to meet the opponents of the Lu Zhan cavalry, who had already been preparing to attack.
"What? The large camp outside the city was attacked. Fast! Mobilize the brothers in the city and prepare to set out to rescue the brothers outside the city. Deng Mingren urgently mobilized the troops who were ready to eat and was about to set off.
Many soldiers only had time to drink a sip of porridge and hurriedly rushed out of the city wearing armor and weapons, but they didn't know that this was all Lu Zhan's strategy.
