Chapter 826: Breaking the siege and becoming a gao
Luo Zhaoyun ordered people to bring a sand table map, the entire Henan and Hebei, counties and counties, mountains, rivers, terrain and landforms, are all included in detail, and under the overlook, it is intuitive and recognizable.
"Generals, according to the current intelligence, Dou Jiande personally went out to lead the Xia army south and conquered Xingyang. Although I occupy the Tiger Prison and can wait for work at ease and resist the Xia Army, this cannot quickly eliminate the Xia Army, so I must take the initiative to attack! ”
When all the soldiers heard that they were going to take the initiative, they all geared up, and they didn't want to retreat in the city, so how to establish meritorious deeds!
Besides, the Dahua army is strong and strong, whether it is weapons, war horses, soldier training, military discipline, war preparation materials, etc., they are all superior to the Xia army, and some of them are all great generals, who doesn't want to go out and fight?
"Your Majesty, how to fight, I, Luo Shixin, am willing to take the lead!" Luo Shixin stood up and wanted to take the lead.
Pei Xingyan followed closely and also stood up and said: "Pei Xingyan, please fight!" ”
Of course, the generals on Hou Junji's side, such as Sheng Shiyan, Liu Wujian, Zhou Zhongyin, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin and others, also expressed their intention to fight, not to be outdone.
Especially Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Gongjin, the two of them are Li Tang's generals, placed in the army, made partial generals, officials are not big or small, and they have been trained for half a year, and they thought that they were not taken seriously, and suddenly two months ago, they were transferred to the forbidden army for reuse, and they were personally summoned by Luo Zhaoyun to encourage them, and they were immediately grateful.
Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, let the generals calm down for a while, it is impossible for him to transfer troops and send generals so casually, whoever asks for it will be sent, it is not messy, in fact, we will decide on the candidates.
"Chenggao is just a small city, belonging to Xingyang County, also known as Bishui City, according to reliable information, Xu Shiji with a handful of people, in the escape of Xingyang, came to this city, is currently trapped here, surrounded by Dou Jiande, so while attacking the city, while persuading to surrender, it is because of this that the attack on Hangu Pass was delayed."
"Now that our army has arrived, Dou Jiande has not yet known, only a few miles away, he can be caught off guard, and by the way, he will surrender Xu Shiji!"
Cheng Zhijie hesitated, hugged his fists and said: "In the past, the last general had a very close relationship with General Xu Shiji, if he defeated the Xia army, he could go to the city to persuade him to surrender." ”
Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin also nodded, if one person can't do it, they can all stand up and lobby, Xu Shiji is a heroic figure who is loyal and courageous, and has a vision of the overall situation, at this moment, he should be able to see the situation clearly, and he will no longer be foolish and loyal to Li Mi.
Luo Zhaoyun nodded in approval, and then continued: "Outside Chenggao, there are 40,000 Xia troops, surrounding Chenggao, and inside and outside Xingyang City, there are 100,000 Xia troops, which are the main forces of the Xia army. In order to intercept the news, it is necessary to ambush two roads of men and horses between Chenggao and Xingyang to block reinforcements and ambush the withdrawn soldiers and horses. As a result, Xingyang could not get the news in time, so as to pave the way for our army to continue to attack Xingyang.
The military generals of Wenchen nodded one after another, feeling that this strategic deployment was very reasonable, and in terms of details, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Qu Tutong and others put forward some more, and together they formulated a detailed battle plan.
The sneak attack was set for tomorrow night, and the decision was made immediately and the fighter plane was never delayed.
There are four military camps outside Chenggao, each with 10,000 horses, the main general is Zhang Qingte, deputy general Liu Ya, a few days ago Dou Jiande personally came to the city to persuade Xu Shiji, but he was unsuccessful, he has returned to Xingyang, and then give the second general a seven-day deadline to conquer Chenggao and capture Xu Shiji alive.
And after the Xia army was integrated recently, it was also about to attack the Tiger Prison.
In the dead of night, the wind was high and the night was dark, and the campfire was swaying, Xia Jun never thought that the Dahua army in the Tiger Prison Pass a few miles away would come to attack in the middle of the night.
"Action!" Qin Qiong was in charge of tonight's operation, and when he gave an order, the bow was like a thunderbolt, and the arrows were like flying locusts, and the Xia army camp outside the city suddenly burst into flames.
"Kill—"
Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, and Wang Junkuo, four fierce generals, each led 5,000 men and horses, and almost simultaneously attacked several camps of the Xia army.
Under the night attack, most of the Xia army was still sleeping in the tent, this sneak attack, the fire entered the tent, the beacon fire company camp, many soldiers did not have time to put on their armor and ran out of the military tent in panic, and then were stabbed down by the sudden cold arrow and sword, and the whole camp was in chaos.
Everywhere there were galloping fire horses and rockets flying like locusts, and the camp's arrow towers, wooden fences, and tents were instantly ignited, and in an instant, they were on fire.
Countless Xia soldiers were shot down and trampled and wounded, and the rushing flames burned their hair and clothes, and they screamed miserably and endlessly, tearing apart the dead silence of the night.
The soldiers of the Xia army, who fled in all directions, were quickly cut down to the ground by the Dahua elite who came up from the encirclement, and they could not resist this surging attack at all, and soon several Xia army camps were captured.
"Kill—"
The sound of fighting filled the camp of the Xia army, and the defeat of the soldiers was inevitable, and tens of thousands of Xia troops, in panic, had to flee in all directions, but most of the escapees were shot by the archers who were ambushed in the darkness outside.
"General, it's not good, the Dahua army is attacking the camp!" A partial general came to the tent in front of the tent with a little embarrassment and reported the military situation to Zhang Qingte.
Zhang Qingte hurriedly put on his armor and said in surprise with a blade in his hand: "What, Dahua Army, why are they here?" ”
"The last general doesn't know, but the general, there are Dahua enemy soldiers all around, the sound of fighting all over the mountains, the whole camp is caught in a sea of fire and arrow rain, it can't resist for long, give an order to break through as soon as possible, there is no control of other camps, otherwise no one will be able to escape after a while." So partial will persuade.
Zhang Qingtie's face was a little pale, and he also heard the chaotic sound of fighting, knowing that it was irretrievable, and shouted: "Prepare for a breakthrough, Sun Li, you take a force of men and horses to break through from the northeast, and this general will lead people to break through from the southeast, kill out of the camp, scatter the ambush, and return to Xingyang alive, you will have a chance to take revenge!" ”
"Yes!" This is named Vice General Sun Li and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, fight a bloody road with General Ben!"
The two led two or three thousand armor soldiers to rush towards the outside of the camp, but they didn't go far, they were blocked by layers, a burst of cold arrows attacked, and the Xia army that broke through was almost wiped out, even if there were people who fled from the chaos, they were intercepted and killed by the ambush circle of the Chinese army on the way, and even Zhang Qingte, the general of the Xia army, himself was killed by the arrows.
