Chapter 224: Burning Grain
When Prumoni IV executed Namasan, a real question arose, who would command the defense of Fahrenheit? Namas was sitting on the cold floor, rubbing his belly and looking at the moody emperor with resentful eyes. New Pen Fun Pavilionβ‘.
"Let me ask you, who will be the right general for this position?" Prumoi glanced at his prime minister.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, when it comes to qualifications, only the Brahgani is suitable."
"Hmph, if you don't kill him, you've already given him a lot of face. Who else is suitable? β
"Dharopus, the defender of the royal palace, is brave and strategic, and has made many military exploits, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to decide."
Prumoi IV nodded, "Protos, he is a little older, but he is old and serious, and he is strict in his use of soldiers, so it's up to him, you can arrange it." β
Namath hunched his waist and withdrew from the main hall, and hurriedly sent someone to the royal city to convey the emperor's edict.
Guo Jiali was outside the city of Fulousha, his eyes were like the sea, staring at the inside and outside of the city, and after watching for a long time, he slowly beat his horse down the high slope and returned to the camp. Without waiting to sit down, Guo Jia said: "Shizai, make the situation of the enemy and me in Fulousha into a sand table." β
Deng Ai agreed, and a few low-level generals began to get busy. Guo Jia sat aside, his fingers aimlessly tapping on the table, Deng Ai and the others were busy for a while before they were done, Deng Ai walked to Guo Jia's side and whispered: "My lord, the sand table is finished." β
Guo Jialeng paused for a moment before he came back to his senses and said softly: "Beat the drums, gather the generals." β
When the Han army captured the city of Gaofu, the order to transfer troops was issued, and the Han army came to Flousha, and reinforcements from the southern part of Kushan continued to drive around the capital. Vesudeva I: This is a decisive battle.
In the camp of the Han army, in Guo Jia's big tent, a large group of generals surrounded the sand table, and Deng Ai was holding a wooden stick and was talking:
The city of Fulousha is nine miles from east to west, twelve miles from north to south, and the city wall is as high as three zhang. According to the results of the interrogation of the prisoners, the population of the city was 300,000, and the garrison was 100,000. In the north and east directions of the city, there are 150,000 enemy troops stationed in the remaining veins of the Hindu Kush Mountains. To the southeast of Fraussa there are two Acropolises, which are respectively the Fork of the Beginning and the Extravagant Karma. The garrisons of the two cities totaled 100,000. It had now been discovered that the 50,000 enemy troops of Kakara had come to the south of the city of Frusa and were stationed there.
Deng Ai's wooden stick was pointed at one point, and he continued: There is a great river between the two cities of Flousha and Yucha Shiluo, called the Guishan River. The enemy army of Kakara was stationed on the north bank of the Kushan River. In addition, the great armies of the cities of Indrapurata and Motorola had arrived, with a total of 100,000 men, stationed on an unnamed high ground twenty miles southwest of the city of Varsha. It is reported that the three southern cities of Kushan, with a total of 200,000 troops, have reached the south bank of the Kushan River. In this way, our army faced a total of nearly 700,000 enemy troops. Our army has only 250,000 troops, and our friendly troops are less than 100,000, and they are stationed in these places northwest of the city of Frusha.
The Kushan River in Deng Ai's mouth is now the Indus River, and most of the land in Kushan is now in India.
Guo Jia waited for Deng Ai to finish speaking, glanced around at the generals and said, "Vesudeva I is going to break the cauldron and gather the army of the whole country to fight with our army. I wonder what you have to do? Can break the enemy's army. β
Zhang Liao said: "The grain and grass of this Fulousha army are hoarded in the two acropolis? β
Deng Ai said: "Not bad. However, according to the captives, the city of Frusa had enough food and grass for three months. β
Wei Yan said with a smile: "There are so many people and horses on the periphery of Flousha, grain and grass must be transferred from the Acropolis, right?" β
"Yes, there are more than 400,000 enemy troops outside the city, all of which depend on the supply of grain and grass from the Acropolis."
Xiahoudun said: "His grandmother drops, sends out a surprise army, crosses the Guishan River, and first burns the city of what kind of dog and what city is she, or not." β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "General Xiahou doesn't know that the Guishan River is wide and the river is turbulent, even if it is to build a bridge, it is not a day's work. It was not an easy task for the 50,000 enemy troops in the city of Karmara and the 100,000 enemy troops in the cities of Indra, Prosta, and Motorola to be stationed on the banks of the Kushan River. β
A young general responded: "There will be a plan in the end, and it may succeed." β
When everyone looked at it, there were many people who didn't recognize it, and Cao Zhen smiled on the side: "This is Jiang Wei Jiang Boyo, a native of Tianshui, who is now the deputy general of our army." β
Guo Jia said: "It doesn't hurt to talk about it. β
Jiang Wei said: "The success of this plan is all on General Zhang Yan. β
Lu Bu and Ma were both anxious, and almost at the same time shouted, "Say it quickly." β
Jiang Wei said: "Under the command of General Zhang Yan, there is an elite army, known as the Flying Army. Now that the 50,000 horses of the extravagant Kazara are exhausted, the defense of the city will inevitably be empty. Why is our army not like this, it must have burned the enemy's grain and grass. β
Guo Jia pondered for a while, patted the case and said: "Boyo has a clever plan." General Zhang Yan, do you dare to take on this important task? β
Zhang Yan shouted: "Why don't you dare? My lord, I am willing to accept this responsibility. β
Guo Jia said: "I sent two generals, Zhou Tai and Ling Tong, to help you, I don't know how many people are needed?" β
Zhang Yan said: "The soldiers are not expensive, I have 1,500 flying troops, and another 3,000 is enough." β
Guo Jia smiled: "General Zhang Yan's ambition is commendable, how about this?" The flying army was 1,500, and the two generals Zhou and Ling each led 2,500 elites, a total of 6,500 people. β
Zhang Yan said: "Yes." I don't know if I want Boyo to follow around, after all, after all, the general's head is not very clear. β
The generals in the big tent laughed, and Guo Jia said: "General Zhang Yan He Taiqian? Can you gather millions of people in Montenegro and compete with the princes of the world, how can you be a mediocre person? Boyo, General Zhang Yan has a request, what should you do? β
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "The last general is willing to attach the tail of Ji and accomplish this feat." β
Guo Jia smiled: "Okay, you wait to prepare secretly, and once the time is ripe, you will take advantage of the situation to send troops." β
The northwest wind was getting colder and colder, and in the evening of that day, Zhang Yan found Guo Jia and said, "My lord, everything is ready and can be done." β
Guo Jia said: "Okay, be careful, I will burn the knife in the camp, and wait for your triumphant return." β
On the evening of this day, the 50,000 troops of the city of Kakara and the 100,000 enemy troops of the two cities of Indra Prosta and Motorola were suddenly attacked by the Han army, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the Han army shot a burst of rockets and burned several camps, but they were not in a hurry to attack, which frightened the enemy troops in these two places in a panic all night. In the second half of the night, the Han army whistled and retreated sharply.
In a secluded section of the Guishan River, Zhang Yan said: "I led the flying army to cross the river first and show the direction for the rear army. β
Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, and Jiang Wei nodded at the same time. Zhang Yan led the 1,500 flying army, standing on the high ground, quickly began to equip, and after a while, it rose into the air and disappeared into the vast night.
Zhou Tai said: "It's our turn, brothers, wrap the equipment carefully in oilcloth, and don't let the water get wet." Each person burns a knife and drinks the water. β
More than 5,000 people took off a slippery light, cold water blew, and their teeth chattered. After the equipment was wrapped, he lifted the sheepskin bag, drank wildly, burned the knife in his stomach, his blood boiled, and the cold wind didn't feel so cold.
Zhou Tai and Ling Tong took the lead and went down to the river, the biting coldness made the two of them tingle for a while, and they immediately danced their limbs, and this feeling slowly disappeared. The soldiers went into the water one by one. Jiang Wei, an authentic landlubber, was next to two soldiers who were proficient in water, and he also jumped into the river.
After Zhang Yan flew across the river, he lowered his altitude, took out a torch from his side, lit it, stopped for a while, and when the fire was hot, he threw it to the ground. Zhang Yan took advantage of the brightness of the moment to see that the ground was flat, learned the cry of a night owl, and fell to the ground.
Before the torch on the ground was extinguished, Zhang Yan raised it and shook it, and soon after, his robe was full of himself.
Zhou Tai and Ling Tong swam for a while, and when they saw the fire flashing on the opposite bank, they were overjoyed, and whispered to the back: "Look at the fire on the other side and swim over." Transmit. β
Zhou Tai's words soon spread throughout the five thousand soldiers, and in the wide river, the waves were churning, and after two hours, they finally swam to the opposite bank.
counted the number of people, but fortunately no one was lost, Zhang Yan, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, and Jiang Wei were overjoyed. In the night, everyone poured a few more mouthfuls of burnt knives, chewed some beef jerky, identified the direction, and ran towards Motoro City.
At dawn, when they came to a small town, the four generals looked at each other, and each of them divided his men, and soon the water surrounding the town was impassable. The soldiers took the townspeople into one place and put them in watch, took turns eating a hot meal, and then fell asleep.
After three nights of rushing like this, the city of Extravagant Karma finally appeared in front of him.
Jiang Wei whispered: "The success of this time lies in the total annihilation of the enemy army, and no one can be let go in the city." β
Zhang Yan and the others nodded, and Jiang Wei said: "The whole army is hidden, and it will act in the evening, right?" β
Zhang Yan said: "Boyo's strange plan, everything is done according to what you say." β
At nightfall, the guards of the city closed the city gate, stretched their waists, and went to the camp near the city gate, eating dinner, thinking about how to fight this long night, when they looked up, they saw a tall man standing in front of him, with a sneer on his face, "dangchang", the rice bowl fell to the ground, and it was shattered. Just as the soldier was about to shout, a cold light flashed, and he hurried to the Western Heaven Elysium.
The gates of the city were opened in the night, and three thousand soldiers rushed into the outside of the city, and soon the city of Kakara was ablaze.
Jiang Wei led more than 200 soldiers, changed into the military uniform of the Kushan people, rode a war horse, and disappeared into the night. Zhang Yan saw that the fire had filled the city, and said to Zhou Tai and Ling Tong: "Let's act according to the plan." β
In the city of Lukara, the materials are extremely rich, of course, there will be only grain and grass, the Kushan people are mainly cavalry, and there are tens of thousands of war horses in the city. The Han army set fire to the grain and grass, and for the war horses, it was absolutely easy to lead the sheep and the horses with their backs.
Jiang Wei used a knife to force a Guishan soldier to lead the way, and rushed to the city of Indra Prosto; Zhang Yan, Zhou Tai, and Ling Tong concocted the same method, let the Guishan soldiers lead the way, and made a detour to the city of Indra Prosto.
Jiang Wei came to the outside of the city and shouted loudly in Guishuang, and a soldier in the city gate tower scolded impatiently: "In the middle of the night, what is the wolf howling?" What's the matter, say. β
Jiang Wei's Guishuang had already spoken extremely fluently, and he shouted loudly: "Extravagant Luo was suddenly attacked by the Han army, go to the rescue!" β
The soldiers at the head of the city were taken aback, and when they looked up into the distance, they saw that in the direction of the city of Kala, the flames were soaring, and they hurriedly shouted, and the guards of the city gate came out and shouted, "What's the matter? What are you yelling about? β
Jiang Wei cried and said, "General, the army of Kakara is out, and if Indra Prostos does not come to the rescue, the city will not be protected." β
The defender hurriedly asked, "How long has the Han army been attacking the city?" β
Jiang Wei said: "The siege began in the evening. β
The guard said, "How many people are here?" β
Jiang Wei shouted hoarsely: "I can't see clearly in the night, it seems that there are 50,000 horses." β
The guard sneered: "50,000 Han troops are besieging the city, how did you get out of the city?" β
Jiang Wei said: "General Tashik sent me out of the city to Indra Prousta to ask for help when the Han army was not completely besieged. General, there are only 5,000 garrisons in the city of Kala, and if the Han army captures the city, it will be difficult to protect the materials. β
The guard general listened to what Jiang Wei said, no longer doubted, and said loudly: "I'll go and tell General Vasilik to decide." β
Jiang Wei cried: "General, hurry up and let the rescuers pass, it's too late." β
