Chapter 461: Attacking the Enemy's Vital Point

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

After replenishing the grain and grass in the army, Liu Xiujun's morale was greatly improved, and then, the eyes of Liu Xiu and his generals fell on Handan again.

Now Liu Xiujun and Xie Gongjun are stationed outside Handan City, with a total of 130,000 troops. On Wang Lang's side, there are 100,000 defenders stationed in the city, and behind Liu Xiujun, there are Li Yu and Zhang Shen, totaling about 230,000.

In terms of military strength, Wang Langjun has an absolute advantage, and in addition, there is another uncertain factor on Liu Xiujun's side, that is, Xie Gongjun.

Now, Liu Xiujun can no longer regard Xie Gongjun as a friendly army, at best, Xie Gongjun may beat the side drum on the battlefield, wave the flag and shout, and predict that Xie Gongjun may stab his own side in the back and fall into the well.

The generals under Liu Xiu's command discussed the next battle. During the meeting, Kou Sui bluntly pointed out the core of the enemy army. The core of the enemy army is not Wang Lang in the city, nor the 100,000 defenders in the city, but Li Yu and Zhang Shen.

Because of the existence of Li Yu and Zhang Shen, the defenders in the city have the fighting spirit to hold on, and because of the existence of Li Yu and Zhang Shen, they do not dare to attack Handan City with all their might.

If you want to break Handan, you must first defeat Li Yu and Zhang Shen, the more than 100,000 Wang Langjun.

For Kou Sui's analysis, everyone present agreed, and Liu Xiu also nodded again and again, thinking that Kou Sui was to the point.

It's just that it is not easy to defeat Li Yu and Zhang Shen, after this period of time when the two armies are facing each other, everyone can also see that Li Yu and Zhang Shen are not general, and they still have some real talents.

Liu Xiu's mind turned, and after a while, he muttered: "I remember that Guangping Taishou once said that Li Yu and Zhang Shen did not have much grain and grass. ”

Hearing this, Deng Yu's eyes lit up and said: "Lord, Wang Lang is worried that Li Yu and Zhang Shen will have two hearts after holding the military power, so he deliberately did not send too much grain and grass to the two of them. ”

The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth hooked, smiled, and said, "Count it up, Li Yujun's grain and grass should be almost consumed now, right?" ”

A layer of brilliance appeared on Kou Sui's face, and he said with a smile: "That is to say, in the near future, there will definitely be a batch of grain and grass in Handan City, which will be quietly transported to Li Yujun's camp. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "Wang Langjun can cut off the logistics supply of our army, why don't our army follow suit and also cut off the logistics supply of his Li Yujun!" ”

When everyone present heard this, they all slapped their hands and laughed, Wu Han said excitedly: "Just cutting off Li Yujun's supply, that's not enough, we have to rob all this grain and grass!" ”

Geng Yi got up, saluted Liu Xiu, and said in a loud voice: "Lord, the last general is willing to lead the cavalry of his headquarters to attack the enemy's grain road!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Wu Han also hurriedly got up and said, "Lord, the last general is also willing to lead the cavalry of his headquarters to attack the enemy's grain route!" ”

At present, the Youzhou Raiders in Shanggu and Yuyang are still commanded by Geng Yi and Wu Han. Liu Xiu looked at the two of them, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "The scouts of our army can grasp every move of the enemy, and in the same way, the scouts of the enemy army can also grasp every move of our army, and the two sides are close at hand, no matter which side, slightly."

If there is a wind and grass, it can be noticed by the other party for the first time. ”

Wu Han and Geng Yi glanced at each other, and both frowned.

Liu Xiu continued: "If Ziyan and Bo Zhao want to lead the cavalry and successfully attack the enemy's grain transportation team, they can't stay in the barracks, and only in this way will the two of you not let the enemy notice when you act!" ”

Wu Han and Geng Yi immediately raised their heads again, looked at Liu Xiu, and said in unison: "Lord, we can lead the cavalry brothers to find a hidden place to hide outside the camp!" ”

Liu Xiu frowned and said: "In this way, although the deeds are more hidden, the soldiers are too hard." ”

It is now April, but the weather in the north is still cold, and they are hiding outside the camp, unable to bury pots and cook food, and sleeping in the open, and the conditions are difficult as you can imagine.

Wu Han and Geng Yi said in unison: "Lord, as long as you can break the enemy, the end will not be afraid of hard work!" ”

Liu Xiu pondered for a while, and finally nodded, looked at Choshi, and said, "Second situation, it's up to you to cooperate with Ziyan and Bozhao in this matter!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Choshi is in charge of reporting, and the area around Handan has already been explored by his scouts.

Where to hide, which route is suitable for the cavalry's long-distance run, Choshi knows everything well. In addition, Wu Han and Geng Yi led the cavalry and hid outside, and all the contact had to be completed by the scouts under Cho Period.

Liu Xiu made arrangements for Li Yu and Zhang Shen. In the past, it was Li Yu and Zhang Shen who cut off his grain route, but now it has become Liu Xiu who wants to cut off the grain route of the two of them.

As Liu Xiu analyzed here, Li Yujun's grain and grass are indeed not much left, but Li Yu and Zhang Shen are not in a hurry, after all, a large amount of grain and grass has been hoarded in Handan City, and their camp is close to Handan City.

On this day, Li Yu asked his subordinates that the grain and grass in the camp were still enough for a few days. The grain officer's reply was that it was only enough for three days.

After Li Yu heard this, he sent a subordinate who was good at riding and archery that night to secretly go to Handan City and shoot the letter about his lack of food on the city. The letter sent by Li Yu was soon delivered to Wang Lang.

After reading Li Yu's letter, Wang Lang scoffed, and said unevenly: "Before the battle, I can't see any outstanding ability, but when I eat, it's a top trick!" Liu Lin and Liu took a look at Wang Lang, and said: "Your Majesty, although the Great Sima and the Great General failed to defeat Liu Xiujun on the battlefield, they also successfully contained Liu Xiujun, so that Liu Xiujun did not dare to rashly attack Handan

Food, Your Majesty should make arrangements as soon as possible! Wang Lang may not have realized the importance of Li Yu and Zhang Shen, but Liu Lin and Liu Jie are very clear that the current Handan City is supported by the 100,000 defenders in the city, but in fact, what really relies on is the more than 100,000 troops of Li Yu and Zhang Shen

Army.

If there were no more than 100,000 troops to contain Liu Xiu outside the city, it would not be possible to defend the isolated city of Handan alone.

Wang Lang was just talking angry, how could he not deliver grain and grass to more than 100,000 soldiers and sit back and watch them fend for themselves outside the city.

He smiled and said, "King Zhao and King Guangyang rest assured, how can I not care about the life or death of the Great Sima, the Great General, and more than 100,000 soldiers?" The matter of transporting grain to the Great Sima Department will be arranged by King Zhao! ”

Liu Lin, the king of Zhao, in the Handan court, worships the prime minister, and can be said to be the second person in addition to Wang Lang. Of course, Wang Lang was also single-handedly pushed to the throne by him. Liu Lin answered, turned around and walked outside the hall.

Of course, Liu Lin would not go out of the city to transport grain in person, so he handed over the matter to Prime Minister Shi Luheng. Prime Minister Changshi is not a petty official, in the Prime Minister's Mansion system, second only to Prime Minister Sizhi, Lu Heng himself is also Liu Lin's confidant.

After receiving Liu Lin's order, Lu Heng did not dare to delay and immediately prepared grain and grass.

The grain and grass he prepared was 30,000 stones, which was almost enough for Li Yujun for a month. On the north side of the city, there is Liu Xiujun's camp, and on the west side of the city, there is the camp of Xie Gongjun.

Lu Heng did not dare to go to the north city or the west city, but to go to the south city. He took the grain transport team and quietly left Handan at night from the south city gate, made a big detour outside the city, and marched towards Li Yujun's camp.

He felt that his actions were hidden enough, but what he didn't know was that when Li Yu sent his subordinates to deliver a message to Handan, he had already been detected by Liu Xiujun's spies. The grain transportation team led by Lu Heng had just left Handan City, and the nearby Liu Xiujun spies sent the news back to the camp as soon as possible. After receiving the report, he immediately took out the map and carefully analyzed the route of Lu Heng and his party.

After that, he clicked on a route on the map and asked people to report to Wu Han and Geng Yi, who were hiding outside the camp, and asked them to attack Wang Lang's grain convoy on this route.

By the time the news reached Wu Han and Geng Yi, it had already been a full hour.

If it is replaced by infantry, after such a long time, it will definitely be too late to catch up with Lu Heng's grain transport team, but the four thousand soldiers commanded by Wu Han and Geng Yi are all cavalry, and they are all Youzhou assault cavalry, and the speed is extremely fast.

After receiving the news from Choshi, Wu Han and Geng Yi immediately led the cavalry under their command and launched a long-distance attack according to the route pointed out by Choshi.

The grain transport team led by Lu Heng never dreamed that their route had been predicted in advance by Cho Period, and the Youzhou Raiders led by Wu Han and Geng Yi were rushing towards them like a lightning speed.

Late at night, when it was ugly, that is, at one o'clock in the morning, the grain transportation team had already bypassed Handan, bypassed Liu Xiujun's camp, and was marching from east to west, heading straight for Li Yujun's camp.

At their current pace, in another hour, they would arrive at Li Yujun's camp.

But at this time, people faintly heard the muffled sound of thunder in the distance. People's first instinct is to look at the sky, thinking it's going to rain.

The night sky is deep blue, the stars are dotted, the half moon is hanging high, and the galaxy is bright. In the sky, not even a few dark clouds could be seen.

"Strange! It's not like it's going to snow, it's not like it's going to rain, it's so good, why is it suddenly thundering! Some of the soldiers muttered unconsciously.

Lu Heng also felt inexplicable. At this moment, the face of one of the attendants beside him suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "My lord, this is ...... It doesn't seem like thunder, it's like ...... It's like the sound of cavalry galloping! ”

"Cavalry?" Lu Heng scratched his head and muttered, "The Great Sima and the Great General already know the route we are traveling?" ”

His first reaction was not to think that it was an enemy attack, but that Li Yu and Zhang Shen had sent someone to respond.

But there is one thing he doesn't understand, this grain transportation route was temporarily set by him, and even King Zhao didn't know, so how did the great Sima and the general know? He couldn't figure it out.

After a few more minutes, the thunder became louder and closer, and in the continuous rumbling sound, whether it was Lu Heng or the soldiers below, there was a feeling that a big stone was pressed on his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

By the moonlight, I could faintly see how high the dust on the road ahead was, as if a hurricane was blowing in front of me. At the same time, the ground beneath his feet shook violently.

As the distance of the cavalry in front got closer, Lu Heng took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the cavalry brothers in front, I am Prime Minister Shi Lu Heng, and I am now escorting grain and grass to the general's camp......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard an exclamation from beside him: "My lord, be careful-" With the shout, Lu Heng didn't react to what was going on, and the person had been thrown to the ground by an attendant beside him. At the moment when the two of them fell to the ground, they heard a series of swishing wind-breaking sounds over their heads, and countless crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the cavalry ranks, and several other entourages around Lu Heng were still dazed on their faces, and they had already fallen to the ground one after another.
