Chapter 143: Island Hopping Tactics
Crossing the south gate of Qinzhou, directly hit Yecheng. This is the so-called island hopping tactic.
The garrison of this Yecheng must be lax, and if he raids Yecheng, he will inevitably cause heavy damage to the Zhi family. But the risk of this plan is still very high, if Yecheng is not defeated, Zhiyu, who is cowering in Qinzhou, will cut off the grain road, then he will be a turtle in the urn, and Zhiyu will close the door and beat the dog.
Chen Zhuang sniffed and found that his lord would always come up with some extremely risky methods. In ancient times, it was extremely dangerous to bypass the enemy's garrison town, when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di bypassed the Jinan city guarded by Tie Xuan, he risked the risk of being cut off and went straight to the capital Yingtian.
"Isn't this too presumptuous, I actually oppose such a plan, but I don't have a problem if the lord insists."
"Okay, after the Son of Heaven's sailor comes, we will set off directly across Qinzhou to attack Yecheng. I'm a little tired after a day's journey. ”
Hearing Lu Zhan say that he was a little tired, Chen Zhuang also retreated with interest.
When Chen Zhuang walked out of the tent, he suddenly found that there was something wrong with the soldiers on duty outside the tent, and the soldiers around Lu Zhan didn't say that they knew each other, but they all recognized everyone's faces.
And the soldiers guarding outside the tent today feel a little raw, but if you look closely, you feel as if you have seen it somewhere.
"Hey, you look a little raw." It was a matter of public security, and Chen Zhuang approached the soldier with a dark face.
The soldier's eyes suddenly dodged, and he tried to avoid Chen Zhuang. Such an action aroused Chen Zhuang's suspicion even more.
"I recruited that pro-soldier, do I still have to greet you when I recruit pro-soldiers?" Lu Zhan, who was in the military tent, suddenly made a voice and questioned Chen Zhuang.
A courtier was naturally taken aback by his lord's question, Lu Zhan spoke like this, and Chen Zhuang had to cover his stomach even if he had more questions.
After the soldier saw Chen Zhuang leaving, he went into the camp where Lu Zhan was. "Lu Zhan was really dangerous just now."
Lu Zhan, who was lying on the bed, turned over, "Who would have thought that you would be so bold that you would make up as my personal soldier on this expedition." ”
"It must be very lonely in the process of marching and fighting, my second lady came to accompany you, shouldn't you show it?"
The person who spoke was Huo Lin, and when he went out before, everyone came to see him off, Lu Zhan didn't see Huo Lin, but there was no turmoil in his heart. After all, they were forced to marry themselves, and nothing happened to the two of them.
But not long after Lu Zhan left, Lu Zhan found that there was something wrong with his own soldiers, and he also felt a little wrong, and after counting the number of people, he found that there was one more person.
"I'll make a bunk for you to sleep in. What is this called, the commander of the army has been reduced to sleeping. With that, Lu Zhan got up and prepared to pick up the quilt and move it to the ground to sleep.
"You look down on me so much, this girl is risking her life to accompany you." Huo Lin was not polite, picked up the quilt and slept on the bed. Huo Lin looked at Lu Zhan who was laying on the floor with his arms on his pillow, and suddenly laughed softly.
"The two of us have three chapters, don't try to take advantage of me. And the march and battle with women, let the soldiers know what to think, okay, it's not early. ”
Hearing Lu Zhan's perfunctory answer, Huo Lin was even more interested in this Lu Zhan. In the past, I was often praised for my beauty at home, but this Lu Zhan has never felt for himself.
Chen Zhuang, who returned to his tent, suddenly remembered that a person was exactly the same as the problematic soldier he had seen, but with a little more beard.
It turned out that his lord was playing the trick of the golden house, no wonder the lord was so angry when he doubted the identity of the pro-soldier.
Three days later, the flotilla came to the bank of the Yellow River, and the supreme commander of the flotilla was Xu Ning of the Xu family, the general of the building.
"My young master Xu Hao asked me to say hello to the lord, he is not used to taking a boat, so he asked me to come and say a word." Xu Ning wore armor and gave a military salute to Lu Zhan.
"General Xu must have worked hard after a long journey, please take a rest and transport us across the Yellow River tomorrow."
Seeing that Lu Zhan wanted to invite guests to dinner, Xu Ning naturally agreed. Although there is nothing delicious in the army, it is a face-saving thing to be invited to dinner by Lord Lu.
This Lu Zhan knew that the soldiers were fast, and the carriage that could transport the artillery was still on the way, and it would not arrive until tomorrow.
Four days later, Lu Zhan was standing in the jungle outside Yecheng.
"This Yecheng shouldn't have known that we were coming." Lu Zhan asked Chen Zhuang while observing the gate of Yecheng.
"Of course, the sailor of the Son of Heaven and the people of the Zhao family on the south bank have changed into the clothes of Yanzhou soldiers and are pretending to cross the river there many times, and there are not many people in the camp on the north bank."
Lu Zhan and Chen Zhuang played a hand on Zhiyu to repair the plank road to darken Chen Cang, and Zhiyu's attention was all attracted by Xu Ning.
The garrison of Yecheng has basically been transferred to Qinzhou, and the troops guarding Yecheng are now the private soldiers of some official officials and families, and the current Yecheng is not the Yecheng of the Zhi family but the Yecheng of the locals.
"The garrison of this city is really lax, the number of guards at the gate of this city is too small, and our cavalry should be able to rush through before the city gate is closed." Chen Zhuang felt completely sure that he could win the door by rushing over directly, and then the overall situation was decided.
"Forget it, we'll sneak attack in the middle of the night according to the old plan."
After all, night fighting is the strength of the Yanzhou army, and the defenders' defense will definitely be relaxed in the middle of the night.
It's a pity that Duan Xiaohan's guy is still on the way here, but fortunately, there are still many skilled soldiers in the army.
Just as the defenders of Yecheng were patrolling back and forth on the city wall with torches, dozens of flying tiger claws fell on the city wall. Hundreds of sturdy soldiers climbed the rock with blades in their mouths.
A few of the defenders with torches were unaware of the danger behind them, and several of the defenders only felt a chill in their necks and closed their eyes forever.
One of the defenders yawned and asked his comrade beside him, "Why haven't the patrols come back yet?" ”
"They may have gossiped on the road, and there was nothing to do on this big night."
The soldiers guarding the city walls were all sent by the family, and they were meant to deal with the errand temporarily.
The Yanzhou soldiers who sneaked to the city wall tried not to make too much noise in their steps as if they were cats, and hundreds of Yanzhou soldiers immediately launched a charge at the moment when the torches could shine on the edge.
Accompanied by the wailing of the guards, the sound of the city gate turning shaft was also heard, and more than 20,000 Yanzhou soldiers outside the city passed through the city gate to occupy various important places according to the predetermined plan.
