Chapter 16 The Ploisation of the Soldiers

"Hanging sheep beating drums, hungry horses carrying bells." Fu Zonglong said coldly: "This kind of little trick has you been hidden? ”

"Dereliction of duty, please forgive me." The generals bowed and saluted in unison.

When Li Zicheng withdrew his troops, he used very old-fashioned tricks, the so-called hanging sheep drumming, that is, the sheep hung upside down on the drum, the sheep had to kick indiscriminately when it was uncomfortable, and every time it pedaled on the drum surface, making a fierce drum sound, and the hungry horse bell was to leave some horses with a horse bell hanging around their necks.

The horse was hungry and was tied up again. It jumped and hissed everywhere. In this way, the neighing of horses and horse bells can be heard in the distance.

The sound of drums, the neighing of horses and the sound of horse bells mingle together, and it naturally makes it feel as if the army is still in the camp.

However, Fu Zonglong is an old man. He Renlong and Li Guoqi under his command have been fighting for several years, how can this kind of little trick not understand, but although the two armies are facing each other, they are not pressed too tightly, the two armies are still some distance apart, and it is understandable to have this negligence, and Fu Zonglong doesn't know whether they were negligent or deliberate.

"What's the use of saying this now. He Renlong, you have the most cavalry, immediately chased after me, and bit the thief's tail to death, not asking for merit, but you can't let the thief out of sight. Fu Zonglong said.

"My subordinates understand." He Renlong said: "My subordinates will go and prepare." ”

After all, it was not the general he brought out single-handedly, and he always felt that there was a layer of separation when he used it, Fu Zonglong's plan was very simple, and retreating was not an easy thing to do, especially when there were chasing soldiers behind, and Zhang Xuan faced Chen Hongfan's three hundred cavalry, he had a feeling that he could not advance or retreat, and if He Renlong's army chased after Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng would naturally have such a feeling. And he had already ordered Zuo Liangyu to hurry over.

"Just hold off the thief, there's still something to be done." Fu Zonglong said secretly in his heart.

However, he has hidden worries in his heart. That is, will He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu really be so obedient?

Anlu County.

"We need a big defeat." Li Zicheng said: "Undefeated, you can't get Fu Zonglong to take the bait." ”

Although Fu Zonglong has had ups and downs for more than ten years, he has also fought during the Apocalypse, and his prestige is still there, and he is not an ordinary superintendent. If the two sides clearly set up the chariots and horses to fight, judging from the confrontation in Yingcheng, if they want to swallow Fu Zonglong in one bite, it will take a long time, and second, the righteous army will also suffer heavy casualties. These are Li Zicheng's capital, and Li Zicheng is reluctant to do so, so he can only use a plan. If you want to calculate, Fu Zonglong must make a bloody investment. Li Zicheng knew that there were many things that he couldn't take away, and he insisted on taking them away, not because he really wanted money and didn't want to die, but because he wanted to use these things as bait.

"It's easy to lose the last game." Luo Rucai said. In the eyes of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, human life is just a number, not worth mentioning at all. They won't make any fakes, if they want to make it real, there are not many elites in the anti-justice army, but there are a lot of cannon fodder, and it is not a big deal to cut off some heads for He Renlong.

"However, can you really make Fu Zonglong take the bait?" Luo Rucai said.

Li Zicheng thought for a while and said, "Those hungry people alone can't lure Fu Zonglong. Therefore, I am ready to let Liu Fangliang take someone there. ”

Liu Fangliang is an old man under Li Zicheng, he has followed Li Zicheng since Shaanxi, his subordinates are not too bad, and he can be regarded as an elite soldier, although he cannot be said to be Li Zicheng's old background, but there is not much difference.

"Oh no, it looks like I'm going to bleed today." Luo Rucai said secretly in his heart. Li Zicheng took out Liu Fangliang's part to satisfy He Renlong's appetite, he would not just let himself lose, but let Luo Rucai sit back and enjoy his success.

Sure enough, as Luo Rucai expected.

"Who is Brother Luo going to send?" Li Zicheng asked.

Luo Rucai is not as big as Li Zicheng's family, most of his subordinates are cavalry, and he is reluctant to lose, and suddenly remembered Zhang Xuan's department, Zhang Xuan's department is newly organized, and Luo Rucai does not regard Zhang Xuan's department as a soldier many times. At this moment, it is just right to be used as an outcast.

"I'll let my son-in-law be the one, and of course let Yulong help." Luo Rucai said: "The two sides are fighting, and those baggage are used as road money, and they don't chase after him if they want to come." ”

Let Zhang Xuan's subordinates go to death, there is no problem. But he didn't want Zhang Xuan to die too, not to mention Zhang Xuan's strategy, he didn't want his daughter to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. So I prepared for Luo Yulong to answer, not to mention anything else, just rescue Zhang Xuan.

The arrangements between the two sides have been decided, but the news has not been transmitted.

On Luo Rucai's side, only Luo Yulong was arranged. Li Zicheng's side only arranged for Liu Fangliang to know. Otherwise, if there are more people who know, there will be no real effect. It is easy to be suspected by Fu Zonglong.

When arranging the marching order, Zhang Xuan's department, unconsciously, had been arranged at the rear, together with Liu Fangliang, to serve as the task of breaking off the army.

Zhang Xuan didn't know the above calculations, but when he learned that he was going to take on the task of breaking off, his scalp suddenly tingled, if not for anything else, but for these large quantities of grain and grass. There were nearly a thousand carriages, and the army went north from Yingshan to cross the mountain peaks at the junction of Henan and Huguang, and the road was difficult to walk, and there was a lot of food, which simply gave Zhang Xuan a big problem.

Zhang Xuan immediately began to get busy, inspecting all the vehicles and inspecting all the people, promising that as long as these people sent the grain to Henan, they would share one stone of grain each. Zhang Xuan promised at least a few thousand stones of grain, which was one-tenth of all food. But Zhang Xuan still felt that this was a cost-effective thing.

However, the premise is that these grains can be transported through the three passes of Xinyang.

Zhang Xuan soon discovered that he was thinking too far. He didn't have to think about Xinyang Sanguan at all, it was just south of Yingshan. The cavalry of the officers and soldiers chased after them.

Fortunately, it is not only Zhang Xuan, Luo Yulong, and Liu Fangliang who are all there.

The cavalry of the two sides kept fighting.

And that's just the appetizer before the big war.

"It can't go on like this." Zhang Xuan said secretly: "People must be left to guard Yingshan County." Only by letting the guards guard the road into the mountain can the officers and soldiers be blocked here, otherwise it will be a tragedy to be caught up by the officers and soldiers in the middle of the mountain road. ”

In fact, Zhang Xuan has been hesitating for a long time, and the reason is very simple. Who stayed behind Yingshan.

The army will definitely not come to the rescue when it goes north, and Yingshan is simply a dead place. There is a part left behind in Yingshan, which can naturally ensure that these materials can keep up with the team, but the part that stays in Yingshan will die.

And now for the nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses after the break, Liu Fangliang is Li Zicheng's people, he definitely doesn't want to stay, Luo Yulong's troops are all cavalry, and defending the city is not what they are good at, and Zhang Xuan's troops are all infantry, the number is not many, it seems that the loss is in Yingshan, and the loss to the righteous army is the least, and then this is Zhang Xuan's proposal, not him, who is it?

But this plan is the most suitable for the rebels, but it is not the most suitable for Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan hasn't lived enough, so how can he die here, but he is ready to bargain with Luo Yucheng and Liu Fangliang, after all, no matter what, he is also Luo Rucai's son-in-law, and Luo Yulong will not give him up here.

However, as soon as Zhang Xuan proposed to stick to Yingshan, he was immediately denied.

First, as Zhang Xuan thought above, no one wanted to sacrifice for everyone, and second, what he wanted above was a defeat. A big defeat. And not a tough battle to defend the city.

In fact, the rebels rarely had the habit of defending the city.

Luo Yulong said: "Yingshan doesn't have to be guarded, but north of Yingshan, there is Qishan Town, and there is still a ruined city north of Qishan Town." You don't have to defend the mountain, can we take it step by step? ”

Zhang Xuan almost blurted out Cao Nima, with so much burden, he looked a little like he wanted to take it step by step.

Since the above doesn't make sense, Zhang Xuan can only figure out a way by himself.

Zhang Xuan immediately adjusted these baggage, anyway, all the people from Henan were transferred to the front, and all the vehicles equipped with bearings were used by the people of Henan, while other people were recruited on the spot. Don't take formation either, let them go as fast as they can. In this way, the distance between a vehicle equipped with bearings and a vehicle without bearings is suddenly widened. The grain truck stretches for more than ten miles, and Yingshan County is like a long dragon to the north.

However, the officers and troops came quickly, so fast that it was beyond Zhang Xuan's expectations.
