Chapter 50 Liu Bei attacked the enemy's grain and grass at night, fought again, and won a great victory

After Liu Bei sent a large number of scouts to Pishan Shache, he was not idle! After packing up, he led 15,000 cavalry and sneaked north all the way to the night.

Because they could not march during the day to avoid the enemy's scouts, and they could not take the main road even at night, the group was extremely careful and walked slowly, and it took two days to reach the junction of Khotan and Pishan!

And in the past two days, He Ting has continued to attack Xicheng, but the intensity has decreased a lot! It's all over just as it means, and the armies on both sides basically don't have much damage!

But the more this is the case, the more careful Jia Xu becomes, Jia Xu keeps sending the guards to patrol all over the city, for fear that He Ting will play tricks to attack the city!

And on the fifth day, He Ting did not send troops to attack the city at all, but sent 10,000 cavalry to sit under the city and scolded Liu Bei, how ugly and how to scold!

To be honest, if it weren't for Jia Xu's suppression, Yan Liang would have rushed out to fight the enemy army for 300 rounds, but because of Jia Xu's prestige, Yan Liang simply hid in the city and didn't go out!

On the same day, in the military tent of Liu Bei's army, the scouts came to report that they had finally found the grain and grass of the coalition army, and the grain and grass were indeed transported from various countries to the Pishan camp, and then loaded by the Pishan camp and transported to the west of the front line, and it was not a big road, but a small road that could only attack two horses in parallel, in the west of the Pishan camp, about four or five miles away from the main road! And there are woods on both sides of this road, which is not conducive to the cavalry ambush, nor is it conducive to the cavalry rushing. This time, in addition to the soldiers who have arrived outside Xicheng, there are 20,000 soldiers guarding the camp in the Pishan camp, and at the same time, the grain and grass are also guarded by 20,000 cavalry along the road. It's hard to loot and burn grain and grass!

But Liu Bei didn't think so, the most important thing was that he already had reinforcements. So the whole army is enough to fight against the 20,000 cavalry escorting grain and grass!

After learning the specific transportation route and speed of the grain and grass, Liu Bei led the king of the army to rush to the place where the grain and grass army might be stationed, and arrived in advance, and at the same time constantly sent scouts to inform the grain and grass team of the behavior!

In the evening, the grain and grass team of the Shule coalition army entered the sight of Liu Bei's army, because it was late, the leading general sent scouts to investigate, and then selected a place with his back to the woods as the camp tonight, and 20,000 cavalry also camped around the camp! At the same time, the leading generals were afraid of problems at the risk of death, so they arranged a lot of sentry posts and scouts!

Seeing this, Liu Bei knew that the sneak attack would not succeed, so he could only attack hard. And the attack time chosen by Liu Bei is when the enemy army is encamped, because most of the enemy is camping at this moment, and the cavalry guarding the grain will also distribute some people to camp, so it should be the time when the garrison is the weakest.

When the grain guards began to set up camp, Liu Bei ordered the cavalry to assemble, and directly attacked the enemy camp with a phalanx of 150 cavalry in depth at the head of a platoon. Its purpose is self-evident, it is to directly want to kill the enemy army and disperse it!

When Liu Bei's army began to run, it was detected by the enemy scouts, and then the enemy scouts flew back, but it was less than two miles faster than Liu Bei's army, and when the enemy scouts arrived at the camp, Liu Bei's army was less than two miles away from the camp, and then the army came in an instant.

The phalanx of fifteen thousand men crashed like a heavy wall against the enemy's loose army. Then, like an elephant stepping on an ant, the whole army ran away.

The 20,000 enemy army food guards had not been killed by Liu Bei's army, and they all felt that Liu Bei's army was unstoppable, so they wanted to escape from afar! The people who carried grain and grass were even more poor, and when Liu Bei's army first arrived at the camp, they spread their legs and ran to the rear.

This battle ended hastily, but for Liu Bei's army, it was an out-and-out victory, although the enemy army was not captured, but all the enemy's grain and grass were captured!

But this sneak attack on the grain and grass of the coalition army will definitely not be able to hide it, because most of the defeated grain guards fled to Xicheng! Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Liu Bei didn't plan to hide it, but these grains and grasses made Liu Bei start to have a headache!

I don't have a people's husband, let all the cavalry transport food, and then be defeated by the Shule coalition army, it will be more than worth the loss!

In the end, Liu Bei still had to use the method he didn't want to use, keeping enough rations for himself, and the remaining grain and grass were burned in a fire!

After Liu Bei burned all the grain, he led the army to leave!

………………………………………………………

At this time, the cavalry that had been scattered to protect the grain returned to He Ting's camp outside Xicheng one after another, and informed He Ting of Liu Bei's attack on grain and grass.

As soon as he saw the grain guard cavalry coming back, He Ting's heart suddenly changed! Hurriedly asked,

"Why did you go back to the barracks alone, and what about the grain and grass you escorted?"

"General Yu, the grain and grass of our army was robbed by Liu Bei, the capital of the Western Regions! Our side was defeated, and even the farmers who transported grain and grass ran out! ”

"What? How can this be, your general, the Ushan? ”

General Wushan led a large army to resist, and was beheaded by a general of Liu Beifang as soon as he made contact. After that, our troops fled without command! ”

"How much is the enemy cavalry?"

"There are about 30,000, maybe more, the sky is too dark, I can't see clearly, I can only judge by the momentum!"

He Ting listened and sat on the ground, and after being stunned for a while, he shouted: "Heaven will kill me Shule, and I will die with the clan!" ”

He Ting's words were really words, and they were also words that He Ting couldn't help but say, but after He Ting finished speaking, he immediately regained his composure! Then he asked again.

"Generals, this time the grain and grass have been robbed, and our army's grain and grass are only used for less than three days, what can I do?"

"General, why be frustrated, hurry up and send the scouts to the Pishan camp to urge the distribution of grain and grass, at least two or three days of grain and grass, and then continue to urge the grain and grass, although I am nervous, I can survive!" The general of the Thunderless Country said after thinking about it!

"There will definitely be a surplus of grain and grass in the Pishan camp for two or three days, but the scouts will rush to the Pishan camp for at least one day, and then gather the people to transport the grain and grass for four or five days!" He Ting thought for a while and said, "Besides, even if there is a grain cloud coming out, it is still possible to be robbed by Liu Beijun!" ”

"Then, general, we can storm Xicheng and break through Xicheng in one fell swoop, won't we have food and grass? Originally, we estimated that there were still 30,000 or 40,000 defenders in Xicheng, but counting the cavalry of Liu Bei's army, now that the cavalry of Liu Bei's army appeared outside the city, the number of defenders in the city would not exceed 20,000, even if the whole city was young and strong, it would not exceed 25,000, we could storm and then take Xicheng! ”

He Ting thought about it and felt that this method was indeed feasible, but there were still many unfavorable factors!

"This method is feasible, but it cannot be attacked by the whole county. You need to leave enough people to hunt and guard against Liu Bei's cavalry! And we can't attack Khotan in two days, so we can only withdraw our troops and garrison the Pishan camp and fight a decisive battle with the Western Regions Metropolitan Protector Army in the Pishan camp. ”

After that, He Ting arranged an offensive mission, this time He Ting withdrew his attack soldiers with the three city walls, and collectively attacked the north city wall, and at the same time arranged 20,000 cavalry to cruise outside the camp to prevent Liu Bei's sneak attack.

In addition to the 20,000 cavalry, the other 40,000 cavalry dismounted and fought on foot, and the infantry attacked the northern city together. From the news that the grain and grass were robbed, the assault began!

In the west city, Jia Xu received the news that the coalition army began to attack again and began to arrange defense, although the coalition army only attacked the north city wall, but Jia Xu's defense could not only defend the north city wall, in case the enemy attacked and wanted to defend it too late! 1,000 men were arranged on the three walls of the south, east and west, and the remaining 15,000 men were all stationed on the north wall.

And several generals were stationed at the northern city wall, the war was always tragic, and in one afternoon, both sides paid a total of 3,000 men to strike their troops!

Early the next morning, He Ting still ignored the fatigue of the coalition soldiers and launched a strong attack on Xicheng, and even personally led his guards to climb the city wall at one point, but he met the general Gan Ning, and killed the city wall in the north after dozens of rounds of fighting with Gan Ning! But he didn't hurt either!

And in the afternoon, dozens of horsemen suddenly galloped outside the tent, and as soon as they arrived at the camp, they shouted: "General, it's not good!" ”
