Chapter 34: Troublesome Lei Bo Chen Lan
Yangzhou, Jiujiang County, Xiquyang, outside the city.
After Yuan Yao's army selected the elite of the army to make up for the shortage, he immediately rushed to Xiquyang in the starry night, Xiquyang is only fifty miles away from Yinling City, and the army can be reached in one day's march.
In order to confuse Lei Bo and Chen Lan, Li Siye set up a large camp that was enough to accommodate 20,000 people when he set up camp, and after Yuan Yao led the army to Xiquyang, he directly stationed in the camp and saved a lot of effort to set up camp.
When Yuan Yao led the army to Xiquyang, the time was close to noon on the second day, and Yuan Yao rested for half a day before convening the generals for deliberations.
"Heiye, what is the situation on the Yin Tomb now? Do Lei Bo and Chen Lan have plans to come to fight? ”
Li Siye stepped forward and replied: "Back to the lord, Lei Bo and Chen Lan have plundered the young and strong everywhere, and now the soldiers and horses under their command have swelled to more than 35,000 people, and the two of them learned that the lord sent troops, and gathered the army in the area of Yinling City. Yinling City is not small enough to accommodate more than 30,000 troops, Lei Bo Chen Lan's army was divided into two parts, Chen Lan led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and Lei Bo led more than 20,000 troops to gather in Maqiu outside Yinling City. ”
"According to the scout's report, at the time of today's hour, Lei Bo's army had plans to send troops, but they marched less than ten miles and retreated back into the camp, and the last general thought that they should know the news that the main army led by the lord to defeat Zheng Bao's bandit army and rushed to Xiquyang in the starry night."
Yuan Yao nodded slightly, he could also guess a little, Lei Bo and Zheng Bao did not trust each other, it would be strange if they did not stare at each other's whereabouts, Zheng Bao's bandit army was ambushed in Chaohu Lake and did not show their whereabouts, Lei Bo would definitely send someone to stare at Hefei City, which Zheng Bao's army was bound to attack.
Last night, the battle of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside Hefei City was shocking, as long as they are not deaf and blind, they will definitely find the movement, and the speed of the light horse must be faster than that of Yuan Yao's army, if Lei Bo does not get the news of the annihilation of Zheng Bao's army at this time, it is really strange.
After this period of war and the successive deaths of Lu Mian and Yuan Yi, Yuan Yao no longer dared to underestimate these historical figures, although Lei Bo and Chen Lan were not as capable as top talents, they were also battle-hardened generals after all, and they must still know the least caution.
However, knowing this truth is knowing this truth, but the caution shown by Lei Bo and Chen Lan still made Yuan Yao feel a little troublesome.
Yuan Yao frowned and continued to ask, "What is the terrain of Maqiuju?" ”
Li Siye smiled bitterly a few times and said: "Maqiuju is a hilly plateau, high in the north and low in the south, its north, east and west are two or three zhang high steep slopes, only the south slope is slower and suitable for the use of troops, the terrain here is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. ”
Yuan Yao rubbed his brows, and suddenly had an idea, and asked urgently, "Is there a shortage of water?" ”
Li Siye smiled bitterly a few times again and said, "The scouts have been observing outside the enemy camp for more than a day, and the enemy has not taken water outside. ”
After Yuan Yao listened, he also felt that he was a bit idiot asking, this Jianghuai land is Huaishui in the north and the Yangtze River in the south, how can there be a shortage of water underground.
Li Siye didn't have a good solution for a while, and said: "The situation in Lujiang County is critical, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses led by Zhou Yu don't know when they will join in, so I can't wait!" Although the soldiers and horses of Lei Bo and Chen Lan are all rabble, it is not a matter of concern, but if they hold the gate behind closed doors and do not fight, it will also cause great trouble to my army, after all, what we lack most now is time. Do you have a good way to break the enemy? ”
After listening to what Li Siye said about the arrangement of Lei Bo and the two, the generals also felt a little headache, they were all brave and invincible, and the most headache was such an enemy who insisted on not fighting, after all, although they were brave, it was impossible for them to break through the camp held by tens of thousands of people alone.
Even if they can break through, they will need a certain amount of time, and it is impossible to win quickly!
And what they want now is a quick win, and the most important thing they lack is time!
After everyone was sad for a while, Pang Tong stepped forward and bowed, "Lord, if Lei Bo and Chen Lan stick to it, then it will be extremely difficult for us to win a quick victory, and now the only way for us to try to transfer their army out of danger and then have a decisive battle!" General Li said before that Lei Bo had sent troops in Chen, but he later learned the news of the lord's victory over Zheng Bao, so he retreated, which shows that Lei Bo's perseverance is not firm, and this is the opportunity we can take advantage of! ”
"Lei Bo and our army have never fought, and they don't know the combat strength of our army, he was just frightened away by the lord's victory over Zheng Bao. Lei Bo was born as a regular army general, and although he cooperated with Zheng Bao, he must have looked down on these bandits in his heart. If the lord let him know, the reason why the lord was able to easily defeat Zheng Bao was not because my army was strong, but because the water bandit army under Zheng Bao's command was really vulnerable, and the real combat power of my army was not even as good as the combat power of the soldiers and horses under his command. ”
When Pang Tong said this, he smiled, bowed to Yuan Yao, and asked, "Does the lord think that he can still withstand the temptation of Shouchun City at that time, and the Tun army is on a hill outside Yinling City?" ”
"Clever plan, really a wonderful plan, Shiyuan is really my ovary! Hahahaha......" Yuan Yao laughed a few times, and said with disdain: "Lei Bo Chen Lan and the two thieves are just two shameless contemptible husbands, they have long coveted the prosperity of Shouchun City, if they know that our army is not strong enough, they have the opportunity to enter Shouchun, they will definitely be unable to resist the whole army attack, and then our army will be able to take advantage of the situation to wipe out their army!" ”
Yuan Yao pushed the swords and talismans on the table forward, and said: "Shi Yuan, this battle will be all up to you to dispatch troops, the whole army of soldiers below me, Shi Yuan, you can dispatch at will, dare to disrespect military orders, Shi Yuan can hold this sword to cut first and then play!" ”
Pang Tong was grateful in his heart, stepped forward and bowed, and said: "The minister is ordered, he is willing to die for the lord, and he will definitely sacrifice the heads of the two thieves of Lei Bo Chen Lan to the front of the lord's rank!" ”
When everyone saw this, they all bowed down and said, "We are waiting for the order, and we are willing to obey the sergeant's orders!" ”
Pang Tongyi held a sword in his hand and a talisman in his hand, looked around at everyone, and first put his eyes on Zhang Xun's body, and said, "General Zhang listens to the order!" ”
Everyone, the number of people who send recommended tickets has suddenly increased, in order to avoid the suspicion of the number of words, Xiaobei will not thank you one by one!
Xiaobei is here, thank you for your great support!
