Chapter 277: Steady as an Old Dog
After Wang Wei summoned the generals, he said: "The front outpost sent a message that Yuan Yao has personally led tens of thousands of troops to kill our public security territory, and now he is pulling out our army's outposts along the river. ”
As soon as Wang Wei's words fell, he saw a Jingzhou military captain take a few steps forward and bowed: "General, Yuan Yao has fought all the way from the defeated son of the world to achieve today's foundation, it can be said that he has been defeated in a hundred battles, and our Jingzhou army has been defeated by Yuan Yao several times, and the last general thinks that Yuan Yao will despise our army and slack off, he will definitely think that our army only dares to hold on to the city and dare not fight with it, he is now dividing his troops to sweep our army outposts, it is enough to see his thoughts, at this time, he can take the opportunity to lead the army to attack, and he will be invincible!" ”
"Please also ask the general to give thousands of soldiers and horses to the last general, the last general is willing to lead the army to attack and ambush Yuan Yao's army in a good place, if this battle is won, it will definitely be able to frustrate its spirit and greatly increase the morale of our army, and then our army will defend the city, it will definitely increase the chance of victory, as long as we wait until General Wen leads the army to help, my two soldiers and horses inside and outside will be able to win a big victory!"
Wang Wei glanced at this person, and saw that this person was Chen Sheng, who surrendered to Liu Biao with Zhang Hu.
Chen Sheng, like Zhang Hu, was born as a thief, and he has never been liked by Liu Biao, but now he wants to go out of the army and establish a meritorious career, and he also has the intention of fighting to the death.
However, as soon as Chen Sheng's voice fell, he saw a Jingzhou general also come forward and said, "General, this matter must not be allowed!" ”
When Wang Wei heard this, he hurriedly looked at the person, only to see that this person was Liu Biao's general Lu Jie, Lu Jie was originally just a partial general under Liu Biao's account, but he was reused by Liu Biao by shooting Sun Jian, and now he is a general, with 10,000 people under his command, and Wang Wei's 20,000 soldiers and horses are 10,000 troops under Lu Jie's department.
Wang Wei naturally didn't dare to despise Lu Jie's opinion, and said, "Why does the general think this matter should not be done?" ”
Lu Jie replied: "General, Yuan Yao has always been good at winning with odds, and his past battles such as night attacks and ambushes are unknown, and now he is leading the army straight to our public security, how can he be completely defenseless against this?" ”
"Moreover, since Yuan Yao personally led the army here, then the guards under his command will definitely come with him, the terrain in my public security territory is extremely flat, and there are no dangerous soldiers to set up ambushes, but it is suitable for Yuan Yao's guards to run rampant, if our army easily goes out of the city to meet the battle, it will definitely be less victorious and more defeated!"
"There are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in my public security city, and they can't be easily damaged, if they go out of the city to meet the battle, they will not only lose thousands of soldiers and horses in vain, but also lose the spirit of our army, so it is extremely unfavorable to the war, and the general must think twice before acting!"
After Wang Wei heard Lu Jie's words, he nodded slightly, and said: "What the general said is reasonable, there is indeed no suitable place for ambush in my public security territory, so let's stop this matter, the army is stuck in the city, and you can't go out of the city to meet the battle without my order!" ”
When Chen Sheng heard that Wang Wei didn't listen to his plan, he was immediately anxious, and then persuaded him: "General, Yuan Yao's light army is adventurous, this is the only opportunity for our army to take advantage of, if you miss such a good opportunity, the general will regret it too late!" ”
Seeing that Chen Sheng was still there, Lu Jie didn't know how to apply for the battle, so he snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! I don't think this is a good opportunity for our army to win, but a good opportunity for you Chen Sheng to establish a meritorious career, right? For your own selfish desires, you want to cut off thousands of soldiers and horses of our army, what do you want!! ”
When Wang Wei heard Lu Jie's words, he was also dissatisfied with Chen Sheng, and said: "Okay, no need to say more, I have made up my mind, I just need to defend the city to the death, and send the sentry cavalry to pass the order, so that the defenders of the outposts everywhere should quickly retreat into the city, and the army in the city must not go out of the city to meet the battle without authorization!" ”
"Whoever dares to go out of the city without permission will be killed regardless of victory or defeat!!"
Seeing this, the generals of the Jingzhou army bowed one after another: "Nuo, we will receive the order!" ”
Seeing this, a trace of annoyance flashed in Chen Sheng's eyes, and he could only follow and say, "Nuo, I'll wait for the order!" ”
Although Chen Sheng bowed down to accept Wang Wei's military order, he also had a grudge against Wang Wei and Lu Jie in his heart, which also laid some hidden dangers for the next war.
……
"Report !!"
"General Ling Tong has led the army to seize Huarong County and Huarong Dao, annihilating 5,000 enemies and injuring dozens of !!"
"General Ling Tong has led the army to seize Huarong County and Huarong Dao, annihilating 5,000 enemies and injuring dozens of !!"
……
When Yuan Yao's army was clearing the Jingzhou military outpost all the way, suddenly a messenger shouted loudly and came with a flying horse, and Yuan Yao heard the voice and hurriedly asked the sergeant to let the messenger over.
The messenger came to Yuan Yao's side, raised the letter with both hands, dismounted and bowed: "Jun Hou, General Ling personally led 3,000 sharp soldiers from the small road to bypass Huarong Road to the outside of Huarong City, and took advantage of the night to attack the city and fight down, and then General Ling personally led 500 soldiers and horses to go to the Jingzhou Army Huarong Road Xiaozhai Fraud Camp, Jingzhou Army was completely defenseless, our army captured the Jingzhou Army camp in one fell swoop, our army was wounded in these two battles, more than 1,200 beheaded, more than 3,600 prisoners, General Ling personally killed Jingzhou General Zhang Hu!" ”
After Yuan Yao read Ling Tong's victory report, he laughed a few times and said: "Hahahaha, our army has won its first victory before the battle has been fought!! ”
"No, I'll take the order!"
A team of heralds took the report document and hurriedly went to the various departments to report the news, Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord, this report document came at the right time, and it can add a little bit of our army's sharpness, our army's march speed has slowed down a few points, now it depends on whether the Jingzhou army will take advantage of our army's division and go out of the city to meet the battle, if the enemy army rashly goes out of the city, our army can take advantage of the situation to destroy part of the enemy army, and then the difficulty of attacking the city can be reduced by a few points again." ”
After Yuan Yao led the army to Gong'an County, he specially divided thousands of soldiers and horses into several divisions and went to attack several Jingzhou military posts, in order to attract the Jingzhou army out of the city to meet the battle. As long as the Jingzhou army dares to fight, Yuan Yao can win the battle with the iron cavalry of the pro-guard army, and eat the Jingzhou army that went out of the city to meet the battle!
However, although Yuan Yao's mind is good, Wang Wei, the defender of Jingzhou, is as stable as an old dog, and he has no intention of leading the army out of the city to meet the battle, so Yuan Yao's thoughts turned into water in vain.
After learning that the Jingzhou military outposts in front had been abandoned by the Jingzhou army, Yuan Yao also knew that his plan had failed, and he could only order the troops and horses to speed up and immediately capture the remaining Jingzhou military outposts.
After capturing and destroying the Jingzhou army's outposts along the river, Yuan Yao's army also came to the outside of the public security city, and the public security battle was about to break out!!
