Chapter 928: Chestnut in the Fire

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the time when the dawn was about to be ushered in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Su Wangjun also quietly came to seven or eight miles outside the Hyun City, preparing to launch a sneak attack on this city before dawn.

But at this time, Zhao Hongrun was thinking about another thing - General Han was a violent kite, and he didn't send cavalry to attack him.

I remember that an hour ago, after noticing that the crows had sent an emergency signal in the south direction, Zhao Hongrun issued an order to his army, telling the generals of all armies and battalions to increase their vigilance and beware of the sneak attack of the cavalry of the Riot Kite Army.

Unexpectedly, the Storm Kite Army didn't seem to have the intention of sneaking up on his army, which made Zhao Hongrun feel a little weird.

You know, the crows will hardly send out the wrong emergency signal. In addition, the crows sent to the south yesterday to investigate the movements of the Storm Kite Army have not returned, and it is very likely that something has happened.

In other words, there was indeed something unusual on the side of the Storm Kite Army in the south, which caused the other side to behave abnormally before and after the end of the day, forcing the Crows sent to the south to send an emergency signal - if it was only a cavalry patrol of the Storm Kite Army patrolling at night, those Crows would not have sent an emergency signal.

On the other hand, if those crows want to send an emergency signal, then they must have discovered the movement of the Storm Kite Army, and it is also related to the movement of the entire 30,000 cavalry of the Storm Kite Army.

The 30,000 cavalry, who had come on a hard march the day before, were tired and tired, and it was supposed to be the time to rest, but these people had a strange movement in Yin, which should be a sign that the Storm Kite Army was trying to sneak attack their Wei army.

But in the end, the Storm Kite Army did not come to sneak attack.

So, what are the Tyrant Kite Army doing in the middle of the night?

At first, Zhao Hongrun couldn't figure it out, until he put himself in the position of the violent kite and asked himself, that he woke up: If it were him Zhao Hongrun, would he sneak attack the Wei army at such a time?

The answer is no.

Why? First, the commander of the Wei army must have been prepared for a sneak attack; Second, compared with a sneak attack on the enemy's barracks, there are too many unstable factors in the sneak attack on the moving enemy army.

What's more, the cavalry will make the sound of horses' hooves when moving, so if Zhao Hongrun is placed in the position of the Han general's violent kite, he will choose to use the method of ambush, that is, to ambush the cavalry under his command in advance on the road that the Wei army must pass, and suddenly kill when the Wei army arrives.

However, at that time, the location of the crows' emergency signal was in the south, which meant that the storm kite did not intend to ambush the Wei army - because in just one or two hours, it was impossible for the cavalry of the storm kite army to quietly detour back to the Wei army's inevitable route to Hunshi County without alarming the Wei army.

Therefore, after ruling out one possibility after another, the real intention of the violent kite was gradually guessed by Zhao Hongrun - the Han general Storm Kite, nine times out of ten, planned to attack the rear or flank of the Wei army with 30,000 cavalry when the Wei army attacked Hyunshi County, so that the Wei army at that time was difficult to take care of and ride a tiger, and could only withstand the attack of the two Korean armies of Jin Huang Army and the Storm Kite Army with one enemy and two enemies.

『……』

Pursing his lips, Zhao Hongrun looked up in the direction of Hyun's County.

"In this way, in fact, Jin Huang, the Han general who is in Hyun County at this moment, must have also known that our army will attack Hyun before dawn, so he will play a role in luring the enemy? Tut-tut...... Uh-huh.'

I didn't know how to think of this, Zhao Hongrun touched his chin and chuckled, and muttered: "Thirty thousand light horsemen, is it really invincible?" ”

Hearing this, Zong Wei Changwei glanced at his Highness suspiciously, and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing." Zhao Hongrun shook his head. Immediately, after thinking about it for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Lu Mu, quickly send someone to inform Yan Mo that the sneak attack on Hyun County was originally planned...... Cancel! ”

Hearing this, the Zong Guards looked at each other, and before they could react, Zhao Hongrun turned around and called, "Duan Pei? ”

"Humble duty."

Behind Zhao Hongrun, Duan Pei, the leader of the Green Crows, straddled a war horse, stretched out his hand and hugged his fists: "What does Your Highness command?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun Zhengse said: "You also heard the words of this king, this king decided to change his tactics, the sneak attack on Hyun County that was originally scheduled to be before dawn has been canceled, you can go and gather the crows and wait for this king's orders." ”

Duan Pei was slightly stunned when he heard this, because according to the tactics formulated earlier, today's Su Wangjun's sneak attack on Hyun County adopted a 'quick attack tactic', that is, the Green Crows took the lead, killed the guards on a city wall in Hyun County, and then opened the city gate and put the Shang Shui Army or Yan Ling Army into the city, if it went well, it would only take half an hour for the Wei army to fully suppress the Han army in Hyun County.

Like this kind of quick attack tactics, Su Wangjun only tried once in Ancheng, and the effect was excellent, and the Longxi Wei soldiers guarding Ancheng at that time were not opponents at all, so that Zhao Hongrun entered the city without much effort, and captured Wei Jiao, the monarch of the Wei clan in Longxi at that time.

And now, because of the existence of the 30,000 light cavalry of the Storm Kite Army, Zhao Hongrun also intends to adopt this kind of quick attack tactics, but what he didn't expect was that for some reason, all kinds of signs showed that the Storm Kite and Jin Di had insight into his sneak attack intentions.

In this case, Zhao Hongyun decided to change his strategy, temporarily hiding this quick attack tactic, waiting for the opportunity to move, and giving the South Korean army a fatal blow.

"Humble duty understood. That being the case, the lowly office immediately went and informed my brethren of the crows. ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun had made up his mind, Duan Pei immediately nodded and took the order, he naturally didn't dare to ask too much about the reason.

At this time, Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao asked in confusion beside him, "Your Highness, why did you change your mind temporarily?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun frowning thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "This king suspects that both Storm Kite and Jin Huang have guessed that this king will sneak attack Hyun County before dawn...... In this case, simply attack in a dignified manner! ”

"Storm Kite and Jin Huang may have guessed the intention of our army's sneak attack?"

The sect guards looked at each other, and they were really a little surprised.

About half an hour later, a little light gradually appeared in the eastern sky, and the light of the early sun passed over Sheep's Head Mountain and spread over the earth, driving away the darkness in the Hyun area.

As Zhao Hongrun guessed, at this moment in Hyun County, more than 24,000 troops under Jin Huang's command, plus more than 1,000 defenders in Hyun's area, a total of nearly 26,000 troops, have long been treated seriously by the city.

Don't look at the fact that there are still not many Korean soldiers on duty on the city wall of Hyunshi County at this time, and they are all mentally tired, as if the entire city defense is vulnerable, but in fact, countless Korean soldiers in the city are already ready to go, and they are bent on revenge for the sneak attack of the Wei army when they were at Pigao Pass a few days ago.

The same loss, Jin Huang and the generals under his command will not suffer twice.

But as the early sun gradually rose, and the Wei army had not yet appeared in Hyunshi County, on the city tower, Han General Jin Huang inevitably muttered a little in his heart.

After all, according to Tyrant Kite's estimation of the Su Wang Army, this Wei army should have launched a sneak attack on Hyun County before a stick of incense, why hasn't it shown up so far?

"Could it be that Admiral (Storm Kite) has miscalculated? The Wei army didn't even think of attacking my Hyun County today? …… That's not right...... Or did something happen in the meantime?'

Jin Huang rubbed his eyebrows, worried: "Come quickly, why haven't you come yet?" ”

He swore that he had never been so expectant of the arrival of an enemy army that had come to sneak attack.

Just when he was suspicious, a herald suddenly came to him in a hurry and knocked on the ground and said, "General, outside the West City Gate, the traces of the Wei army have been found!" ”

"West City Gate?"

Jin Di was slightly stunned, and without saying a word, he went to the west wall of Hyun County, and climbed to look at the Wei army outside the city.

At this time, the sky had already brightened, and it could be said that the Wei army had missed the best moment to sneak attack Hyun County, but for some reason, the Wei army in the western suburbs outside Hyun City did not seem to be in a hurry, and slowly arranged their troops on that flat land.

『…… What the hell is Ji Run, the son of Wei, doing?"

The more Jin Di looked, the more confused he felt.

I remember yesterday's general Storm Kite's prediction of the Wei army's actions, in fact, Jin Huang felt that it was very reasonable: from the standpoint of Wei Gongzi Ji Run, only by quickly taking Hyun County could he have more confidence to resist Storm Kite's 30,000 light cavalry.

But it seems that the slow movements of the Wei army outside the city at the moment seem to be that the Wei army did not take the 30,000 Korean cavalry of the violent kite in their eyes at all.

What made Jin Di's eyelids jump even more was that it didn't take long for the Wei army's marching array to appear in such war weapons as catapults and crossbow chariots.

After all, the leather prison pass can be said to be defeated by the great power of the Wei army's catapults, and there is the kind of black oil that cannot be extinguished with water once ignited.

"General, it seems that the Wei army intends to attack head-on?" The deputy general Qingyao looked at Wei Jun in the distance outside the city for a long time, and said unconfidently.

"Hmm."

Jin Huang nodded slowly.

In fact, he couldn't understand it at this time - what about the "encirclement and reinforcement"?

According to common sense, compared with the more than 20,000 Jin Huang troops of the Hyun clan, the 30,000 cavalry of the Storm Kite is a greater threat to the Wei army. Therefore, the Wei army adopted the "encirclement point reinforcement", pretending to attack the Hyun clan and trying to lure out the 30,000 cavalry of the Storm Kite, which was the correct judgment.

But looking at the attitude of the Wei army at the moment, it seems that the Wei army is preparing to launch a fierce attack on Hyun City?

Could it be that the Wei army didn't care about the 30,000 cavalry of the storm kite?

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"

Finally, the preparations of the Wei army were finally completed.

With the sound of three horns representing the attack, the Wei army's catapults took the lead in attacking the city: barrels were thrown high into the city from a distance, causing several fires in the city.

Seeing this, Jin Di couldn't help but feel a little flustered, after all, he had already seen the power of that terrifying black oil in the leather prison.

『…… It shouldn't be, didn't Wei Gongzi Ji Run think about capturing Hyun City and settling in? Are you going to flatten it?'

And just when he was secretly frightened, the Wei army's catapult suddenly stopped throwing that kind of barrel bullet.

Seeing this, Jin Di suddenly realized: the Wei army did not plan to move the Hyun Clan, but only to create chaos and cause panic in the city.

Thinking of this, he said with a straight face: "Don't panic, the Wei army will not want a piece of scorched earth, so tell the soldiers and civilians in the city not to make noise, stay away from the fire, and demolish the houses around the place where the fire started, so that the fire will naturally be extinguished." ”

After admonishing his generals, Jin Di turned his head to look at the Wei army outside the city, and couldn't help frowning deeply.

Although the Wei army had clearly planned to storm Hyun City, for some reason, Jin Di felt that the Wei army's offensive rhythm was very strange, which made him feel awkward.
