Chapter 11: Surprise attack on Shu County

Lujiang County, like Jiujiang County, is a large county in the land of Jianghuai, Lujiang County is connected to Yuzhou in the north, Jiangnan in the south, Jingzhou in the west, and Jiangdong in the east.

Jiujiang County, where Yuan Yao is located, has been completely locked up by Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and others, and he can only gain development space by taking over Lujiang County, whether it is to attack Jingzhou or Yuzhang.

Yuan Yao naturally has a certain plan to attack Lujiang County, this time Liu Xun personally led his troops to Chaoshan to ambush can be said to be Yuan Yao's calculation, now that Liu Xun is dead, Lujiang County has no leader, it is the best time to collect Lujiang County.

Zhang Xun's strategy of smashing the Yellow Dragon is also in Yuan Yao's heart, Shu County is the county seat of Lujiang County, and almost all the wealth of Lujiang County is hoarded in Shu County, as long as Shu County is taken, then the rest of the soldiers and horses of Lujiang County can be easily cleaned up like a rootless Ping, and Lujiang County can be handed over as Zhang Xun said!

Yuan Yao nodded slightly and then looked at Li Siye, Li Siye thought for a while, and replied: "Lord, the last general thinks that the key to this battle lies in the word 'fast'!" Liu Xun's troops and horses have been wiped out, and the news of Liu Xun's defeat will not come out in a short time, as long as the main public army is fast, it can be taken down before the defenders of Shu County react! There are more than 1,000 iron cavalry in my army, and there are also more than 1,000 light cavalry in the Lujiang army. ”

Liu Xun has just died here, and the soldiers and horses he led have been wiped out, and the defenders of Shu County will definitely not get news in a short time, and it is also a clever plan to disguise themselves as the Lujiang army to attack Shu County!

Yuan Yao thought of this and replied without hesitation: "Since you have the heart of meritorious service, then I will fully support it!" All the iron cavalry in the army will be handed over to you to command, Liu Xun's head and the generals in the Lujiang army can also be chosen at will, as long as you can take Shu County, I will personally toast and celebrate your achievements! However, if the defenders of Shu County see through this plan, you should not storm the city, and after I deal with the matter here, I will personally lead the army to meet you. ”

Seeing that Yuan Yao trusted him so much, Li Siye bowed down and responded: "The last general will take the order, and he will live up to the trust of the lord, and he will attack Shu County for the lord!" ”

Yuan Yao patted Li Siye on the shoulder and said, "The military situation is like fire, and the soldiers are fast, so you can go and prepare to go." ”

"No, the last general will take the order!"

After Li Siye said goodbye to Yuan Yao, he mentioned Liu Xun's head, and went to gather the soldiers and horses to gather the soldiers and horses of the Lujiang army, and changed the clothes and armor of the Lujiang army, and prepared to attack Shu County.

After Li Siye left, Yuan Yao ordered Zhang Xun to lead his army to quickly clean up the battlefield and collect the soldiers, and the army soon returned to Hefei again.

Early the next morning, Yuan Yao drew 3,000 elites from the army to supplement the army, and left 2,000 elites for Zhang Xun, so that he led the army to sit in Hefei to watch the surrendered soldiers, and he led his 8,000 soldiers and horses to Lujiang County.

Just when Yuan Yao marched to Lujiang County, Li Siye finally led the army to the vicinity of Shu County, Li Siye in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he hid his soldiers and horses in the woods near Shu County, and personally led several guards to Shu County to inquire about the situation.

Li Siye led the guards to a high ground near Shu County, only to see the gate of Shu County wide open, the merchants and people coming and going in an endless stream, although there are a lot of soldiers on duty on the city wall and near the city gate, but the vigilance is not very high, it is obvious that they must not have received the news that Liu Xun's army has been wiped out, otherwise they will not be as defenseless as now.

Li Siye was overjoyed when he saw such a scene in Shu County, and said: "Shu County is defenseless, and the big thing has come true, God really helps me!" Okay, let's go back, don't startle the snake, and wait until after dark to act. ”

After observing the enemy's situation, Li Siye led the guards to return to the army again, ordered the soldiers to eat some dry food and rest on the spot, and prepared to attack Shu County at night!

Li Siye led the iron cavalry to gallop all the way, and when he arrived near Shu County, it was already afternoon, and the time for rest flew by, and the time soon came to the time of the day, when it was already dark, and the soldiers had recovered their combat strength after resting.

Li Siye saw that the time was almost up, and ordered the soldiers and horses to be gathered, and said: "Soldiers, among you are my Shouchun's original soldiers and horses, and there are also soldiers who have just joined, my lord has made a promise that rewards and punishments in the army will be punished by military merit, no matter who you are, as long as you give merit, you will be able to get a reward!" I have already investigated the city of Shu County, the defenders of Shu County are completely defenseless, there are only 10,000 defenders in Shu County, but our department has 3,000 iron horsemen, as long as the city gate is opened, our army will be able to win a complete victory in this battle! ”

"I will first strictly enforce military discipline here, in this battle, there are those who dare to disobey orders, those who dare to be afraid, and those who dare to disturb the hearts of our army, all of them will be killed! I will fight bravely in this battle, and if I take a step back, all the armies will kill me! On the one hand, there is a generous reward from the lord, and on the other hand, there is a military punishment, so you can think about it! Listen to my military orders and go! ”

After Li Siye finished the training, he lifted the Mo knife in his hand and turned the horse's head to hit the horse and went straight to Shu County, and all the iron horsemen saw this and hurriedly beat their horses to follow, and more than 3,000 iron horsemen swept straight towards Shu County like a rolling torrent!

"Oh no, there seems to be movement outside!"

"It's the sound of horses' hooves, there are a large number of cavalry coming, hurry up and be on guard!"

"Who, where did you come from, stop quickly, or we will release the arrows!"

More than 3,000 iron horsemen charged, and the sound caused by it was like thunder, which was particularly noticeable in the lonely night.

When more than 3,000 iron cavalry arrived near Shu County, the defenders of Shu County had already been on guard, and the soldiers of the Lujiang Army were all aiming at the outside of the city with bows and arrows, and they could fire ten thousand arrows at any time.

Li Siye glanced at the heavily guarded defenders, mixed in the military formation, pretended to be an ordinary sergeant, and whispered to the general of the Lujiang army in front: "Liu Xun has been killed in battle, the Lujiang army has no leader, my lord is just leading the army to come, Shu County must not be protected!" If you can open the gates, I will reward you, and if you dare to play any tricks, you will die without a place to be buried! Alright, you go up. ”

"The general can rest assured that the villain knows what is good or bad, and he will definitely open the city gate for the general!"

The general of the Lujiang army did not look back and replied quietly, and then hit the horse and went straight to the city of Shuxian, this person beat the horse to the front of the city of Shuxian, and shouted and scolded: "Who is guarding the city above, it is really bold, don't you see that the general has led the army back, don't you hurry up and open the city gate!" ”

The guard general of Shu County saw that the incoming army turned out to be this person's soldiers and horses, and his face couldn't help but change, yes, all the cavalry under the command of the lord led by the lord was the lord's favorite general, and he was just a guard of the city gate, so he still considered himself unlucky.

The guard general did not dare to neglect the duty of guarding the city, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "It turns out that General Wang has returned, I don't know what the battle situation is in front of?" ”

The Lujiang army will continue to scold: "Since the general has returned, this battle is naturally a complete victory!" The general led the army all the way from Hefei to be very tired, and the sons and daughters under his command are also in urgent need of rest, you quickly open the city gate for me! ”

The guard general saw that General Wang was a little anxious, and asked again, "The general only led more than a thousand iron horsemen out of the city before, why has it become so many soldiers and horses now, I don't know ......?"

Seeing that the guard general was still there to ask more, the general of Lujiang County sneered disdainfully, and shouted angrily: "Our army has won a complete victory in this battle, and naturally it has captured a lot!" The lord trusts and hands over all the captured light cavalry to the general, and the number of soldiers and horses under the command of the general will naturally increase. Why, aren't you happy to do it? Well!!! ”

The Shu County guard saw that the person who came was undoubtedly the lord and the general, and there was nothing suspicious about the previous answer, but now when he heard this person say such a damaging word, he didn't dare to continue to ask, and hurriedly ordered: "General Wang led the army back, quickly put down the drawbridge and open the city gate!" ”

"Peng!"

"Squeak!! Squeaky !! Squeaky !! ”

Under the order of the guard, the suspension bridge hanging in mid-air was slowly lowered, and the closed city gate was finally slowly opened, and Shu County has completely opened its arms to Li Siye's army since then!

Li Siye ordered to enter the city, and at the same time instructed Wang Bao next to him: "Hurry, enter the city quickly, Captain Wang, after entering the city, you will lead the troops and horses to control the city gate and the main roads in the city, I will personally lead the army to attack the big camp in the city, as long as the big camp is taken to force the defenders to surrender, this Shu County will be taken by us!" ”

Wang Bao replied softly: "No, the last general will definitely control the situation in the city." ”

Just when the two were talking, Li Siye's army finally arrived in Shu County, Li Siye burst into trouble, and killed the Shu County guards who came to meet him in the city with a knife, and shouted: "Sons, make meritorious contributions at this time, kill me !! ”

Li Siye shouted, and then led his iron cavalry to the location of the camp in the city to kill the past, Wang Bao led the headquarters of the soldiers and horses to kill the defenders to take down the city gate and leave some soldiers and horses to guard, and then began to lead the army to the main road in the city and the rest of the city gate to kill, Shu County in a moment has fallen into the sky shouting and killing.

Li Siye led his iron cavalry straight to the camp in the city, and when he arrived at the Shu County camp, the Shu County defenders had just begun to react, Li Siye split the door of the almost defenseless camp with a knife and led the iron cavalry under his command to rush in, and then began to fight wantonly.

"Liu Xun's head is here, those who descend will not be killed, and those who resist will die!"

Li Siye's army rushed to kill the defenders who wanted to gather, while shouting loudly to surrender, the defenders of Shu County had no way to gather together to form a combat force, after seeing Liu Xun's head, the morale of the defenders was suddenly empty, and they all began to kneel down one after another.

The battle situation in Shu County has just begun, and the general trend has been decided soon!
