Chapter 236: Invincible
The iron cavalry that suddenly appeared in the south of Wucheng City was none other than the five thousand personal guard cavalry led by Yang Zaixing, the general of the guards under Yuan Yao!!
Yuan Yao personally led a large army under the fist city, which seemed to be intimidating, but Yuan Yao knew in his heart the purpose of his trip, the purpose of his march to the fist city was not to break through the fist city and attack Wu County, but to contain the soldiers and horses of Wu County and prevent them from supporting Danyang County.
That's all!!
Yuan Yao knew very well what kind of energy the Jiangdong Army under heavy pressure, or Zhou Yu, would burst out!
In the Battle of Chibi in history, didn't Zhou Yu lead the Sun-Liu coalition army to defeat Cao Cao, who was nearly ten times his size, in one fell swoop, causing Cao Cao's dream of dominating the world to be ruined?
Now Wu County has 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, and he Yuan Yao can only use 15,000 elites and 10,000 rabble, even if the pro-guard army is strong, but the elite division of the Jiangdong Army is not bad, even if Yuan Yao is arrogant, he will not think that just this little soldier and horse under his command can directly smash Huanglong and take Wu County in one fell swoop!!
Especially in the face of a peerless handsome talent like Zhou Yu, if you think so, it is simply a special dream talk after drinking too much!
After the 70,000 troops of Danyang County swept Danyang County, and then led nearly 100,000 troops to sweep Wu County in one fell swoop, isn't this fragrant?
Only under the general trend of uprightness can we put an end to the reversal of these peerless talents!
As the saying goes, the more you do, the more you get wrong!
If Yuan Yao wants to attack Youquan City, he will definitely leak a flaw and give the Jiangdong Army a chance to turn the tables!
In the same way, the less you do, the less you will get wrong!
Yuan Yao knows this truth very well, only by holding on can he win the final victory!
After the garrison was outside the boxing city, Yuan Yao ordered Yang Zaixing to lead 5,000 guards to secretly sneak back to the Wucheng area, and ambushed in a valley south of Wucheng City, which had already been selected.
Wucheng County is not far from Youquan County, Yuan Yao ordered the iron cavalry in the army to patrol fifty miles, and happened to draw the area south of Wucheng City within the patrol range of the guard army sentry horse, Qin Song and Sun Wei naturally did not dare to have the slightest opinion on this, so they did not allow the sentry in the city to go to this area of the patrol, with the cover of the guard army sentry and scouts, the Wucheng defenders did not know that there was a 5,000-strong guard army iron cavalry not far south of the city!!
This is the truth that if you want to deceive others, you must also deceive your own people together, and it is precisely for this reason that the Jiangdong Army launched an offensive without the slightest suspicion after seeing the lax city defense of the Wucheng defenders!
After Yang Zaixing led the 5,000 personal guards and cavalry to leave, Yuan Yao led the army to stay in the camp, and he had no desire to attack Youquan City at all.
The location of the camp chosen by Yuan Yao is close to mountains and rivers, and the geography is also dangerous, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the camp, and there are a lot of grain and grass baggage carried, Yuan Yao is not worried at all that Zhou Yu dares to lead the army to besiege his camp. Wucheng is only dozens of miles away from Yuan Yao's camp, if the Jiangdong army comes to attack the camp, it only takes half a day, and Yang Zaixing's iron cavalry can kill back here!
At that time, the only way to wait for the Jiangdong Army is to be defeated!
Wucheng City is a flaw deliberately exposed by Yuan Yao, if Zhou Yu dares to fight to the death, what awaits him is the internal and external attack of Yang Zaixing's 5,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 defenders in the city; If the Jiangdong Army did not have the intention of fighting to the death, then Yuan Yao could also calmly wait for the end of the battle in Danyang County outside Youquan City.
On the contrary, compared to the anxious Zhou Yu, Yuan Yao, who has no desire, is invincible!!
……
Yang Zaixing's garrison was in the valley south of Wucheng City, and occasionally he would pretend to be a scout sentry to check the situation of the defenders.
Although all the armies under Yuan Yao's command cannot be said to be invincible elite divisions, in general, all the soldiers and horses can be regarded as well-trained and loyal to their duties!
The rabble of 10,000 people in Wucheng City was like a rat poop that lost the reputation of the armies under Yuan Yao!
However, Yang Zaixing also knew about Yuan Yao's plan, and he was silent and did not give the slightest warning, it may not be a good thing for Wucheng's city defense to be so lax, if the Jiangdong army found out about this, he would definitely come to attack Wucheng, and then he would lead the iron cavalry to kill him, and he would definitely win a big victory!
If Wucheng City is really broken by the Jiangdong Army, then the lord will clean up these defeated generals, so it can be counted in one fell swoop!
After Yang Zaixing persuaded himself in his heart, he endured the matter, and sent some secret sentinels near Zhenze to monitor the movements in Zhenze's area, he really couldn't believe the scouts of the Wucheng defenders.
……
That night, when Yang Zaixing was resting in the valley, suddenly a sergeant came to report that the Zhenze secret post had discovered the Jiangdong Army landing, and the Jiangdong Army was currently moving to the west.
When Yang Zaixing heard the sergeant's announcement, he immediately sat up from the bed, and while wearing armor, he said: "It's good to do at this time, Zhou Yu and Jiangdong Jun are not easy people, if they chase up, it is indeed very likely to report their whereabouts and bad things!" Since the Jiangdong Army led the army to come here, it must be to attack Wucheng, and our army only needs to stare at Wucheng and wait for the Jiangdong Army to arrive! ”
"Pass the order, let the soldiers assemble immediately, the fighter plane we are waiting for has finally arrived!!"
……
With Yang Zaixing's order, the five thousand guards and iron cavalry were quickly assembled, and the sentry cavalry ambushed in the Wucheng area also quickly transmitted back the news about the Jiangdong Army, and more than 10,000 Jiangdong troops had already returned to the west of Wucheng City and were currently preparing to raid Wucheng!
After Yang Zaixing learned of this, he immediately led the army to sneak to the rear of a hill a few miles away from the Jiangdong Army.
Under the response of the scouts, after Yang Zaixing's army was in place, the Jiangdong army still knew nothing about it.
When Yang Zaixing led the army to arrive, the Jiangdong Army had just begun to act, although the Jiangdong Army in the city had already fought with the defenders, but the Jiangdong Army outside the city still had not made any moves, and Yang Zaixing saw this and did not rush to attack.
waited until the Jiangdong soldiers and horses captured the city gate, and the Jiangdong Army brigade outside the city also began to move to launch an offensive!!
