Chapter 387: Leng Bud's Missteps
Leng Bao was ordered by Zhang Ren to lead 5,000 people back to Chengdu, but when he passed by Zitong, he suddenly had a whim.
According to Zhang Ren, after the enemy captured Fucheng, it was already the end of the crossbow.
If that's the case, why did you bring so many people back to Chengdu? You must know that Mianzhu has not been lost, and according to the current situation, there is no possibility of falling, Chengdu has not fallen into a crisis, and it can even be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
He brought so many people into Chengdu, but he was just waiting in the city, and then he basically lost the opportunity to obtain military merits, and could only watch the soldiers on the front line fight and make meritorious contributions.
In that case, wouldn't the opportunity for his promotion be missed in vain, Leng Bao would not think that he was just entering Chengdu City with five thousand soldiers, and Liu Zhang would give himself a credit for this, so that his position would be promoted.
Although Leng Bud is not a person who is hungry for profit and quick success, he wants fame after all.
After some thought, Leng Bao ordered the generals around him to lead 2,000 people into Chengdu, and he took the remaining 3,000 people from Zitong to the north of Fucheng to set up camp, in order to fight Li Yan back and forth, and eliminate the Cao army that attacked in one fell swoop.
In this way, you can also share the merits of the battle.
Gao Shun in Fucheng is really suffering at this time.
Although Mianzhu was close at hand, Gao Shun did not have the courage to attack. It's not that Gao Shun is timid and afraid of war, but judging from the current situation, there is really no possibility of overcoming Mianzhu.
Just when Gao Shun was at a loss, a scout suddenly came to report that a Yizhou army suddenly appeared ten miles north of Fucheng and had set up camp.
When Gao Shun heard the news, he was shocked, the Yizhou army appeared in the north of Fucheng? Where the hell did that army come from?
But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Gao Shun also suddenly realized. The army that appeared in the north of Fucheng must have been transferred from the Sword Pavilion. I have to go through a lot of hard work to sneak through the 'yin' flat road and dangerous places in order to bypass the Sword Pavilion and go straight to Chengdu, but for the Yizhou soldiers who were originally in the Sword Pavilion, it couldn't be simpler to return to Chengdu, just open the 'gate' in the south and go back.
The army that suddenly appeared must have been the reinforcements that Liu Zhang transferred back from the Sword Pavilion.
Do you want to wrap yourself back and forth, Gao Shun let out a sneer.
Indeed, siege warfare is indeed very difficult for today's trapped camps. More than 1,000 people gathered in Mianzhu City, even if they led the world-famous 'elite' soldiers, they were helpless in front of Mianzhu City, after all, there were not many people on their side.
However, if it is compared to the field battle, Gao Shun dares to guarantee that there is no army in the whole world that can defeat the soldiers trapped in the camp under the premise of a similar number!
Since the Yizhou army dared to be stationed outside Fucheng City, then it would be eliminated by itself!
According to the scout's report, the number of reinforcements was about three thousand, and the maximum number of reinforcements would not exceed four thousand.
The approximate combat strength of the Yizhou army, Gao Shun has almost understood it after a few battles, and it is worse than the army in the Central Plains. Gao Shun was confident that he would be able to lead the trapped camp and wipe out the enemy forces outside the city in one fell swoop.
Although the soldiers trapped in the camp are 'elite' and know how to keep their fighting spirit high, the continuous avoidance of battle will inevitably cause their morale to drop.
And at such times, a victory is undoubtedly the most 'fantastic' way to boost morale.
What's more, apart from the factor of morale, there is not much food left in the city.
Since the enemy army is stationed outside the city, it is necessary to have a certain amount of grain and grass, and regardless of the amount for the time being, it can at least solve the urgent need.
The plan has been decided, and Gao Shun put it into action.
Gao Shun did not intend to launch an operation during the day, but prepared to carry out a night attack.
Although the trapped camp has outstanding combat strength, if the number is small, it is just to send it to death, so this time Gao Shun decided to take all the soldiers in the city out of the city, and there was no one left.
Such a risk is undoubtedly extremely large, if other enemy forces find out, if they want to take advantage of the situation to recapture Fucheng, then even the process of siege can be avoided, and then Gao Shun will really not even have a foothold.
Therefore, Gao Shun decided to launch an attack at night, since it was not easy for people to find out that there were troops leaving the city under the cover of night 'color', and secondly, if the enemy's defense was not very tight, it could have the effect of attacking the enemy unprepared.
More than 1,400 soldiers trapped in the camp, under the leadership of Gao Shun, quietly slaughtered the Yizhou army's station.
Although the Yizhou Army has defense, on the whole, its defense can be described as lax. After Leng Bao was stationed in the camp, he also inquired about the situation of the Cao army in Fucheng, but there were only more than 1,000 people, and it was estimated that Leng Bao would not expect that the Cao army would dare to attack himself with only such a few people.
Gao Shun's trapped camp did not encounter too many obstacles and difficulties, and it can even be said that this night attack was very smooth, almost perfect!
Under the surprise attack of the trapped camp, the Yizhou army camp suddenly fell into endless panic, Leng Bao was awakened from his sleep, and shouted for the soldiers to assemble to fight, but it had almost no effect.
The repeated shouts had no effect, Leng Bud knew that the situation was very bad, and his face was 'exposed' with fear. Just as he wanted to leave the army and find a war horse to escape, a spear ruthlessly pierced his 'chest' and mouth.
Leng Bao died, and the 3,000 soldiers he brought with him were almost slaughtered, and less than 200 escaped.
And on the side of the trapped camp, only a few dozen casualties were paid.
What Gao Shun feared most was that the Yizhou army saw that the situation was not good, and burned all the grain and grass and did not keep it for himself. But obviously, these Yizhou soldiers did not think of this, and Gao Shun asked people to bring the grain and grass in the camp back to Fucheng.
The Yizhou army on the Mianzhu side did not notice the movement of the Cao army, and Fucheng was safe and sound.
The results of this battle were very good, almost annihilating an enemy army of 3,000 men, greatly boosting their morale, and incidentally obtaining enough food and grass to support this trapped camp for more than 40 days.
Although it is still not out of the predicament, after all, if Mianzhu City is not broken, the situation will not be reversed. But the situation is a little better than the previous few days, at least forty more days, so that I can try to create a bigger turnaround.
