Chapter 70: Techniques for Retreat
Liuhuo Village, the camp of Yan Liang's army.
After Wen Chou snorted angrily and led the army back to the camp, he returned to the big tent, he took off the armor on his body, sat down with his ass, and hummed: "Brother, I was too embarrassed to fight today." We fought with Wang Lei, and our strength was several times that of Wang Lei, but it ended in defeat and was humiliating. Speaking of this, a flash of horror flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Especially the big black man holding two iron halberds, his martial arts are strong and powerful, my hands are shocked and numb, and I can't even hold the handle of the knife steadily, this is a big enemy." ”
After Yan Liang sat down, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said unhurriedly: "The martial arts of the big black man should not be underestimated, but for us today, even if we did not succeed, we also had a huge gain. ”
Wen Chou said: "Oh, what do you mean brother? ”
Yan Liang chuckled and explained: "After this battle, we figured out Wang Lei's strength. There were only two or three generals under his command, and the number of troops was less than two thousand. The reason why Wang Lei's camp was not broken was that the troops he brought were insufficient, and the equipment to attack the camp was insufficient. Tomorrow, the army will march and go straight to Wang Lei's camp and defeat him in one fell swoop. ”
Wen Chou gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother is wise, wait for us to take Wuji County, and then report the news to the lord." When the time comes, the Lord will surely reward our brother greatly. ”
Yan Liang nodded and said: "When Wang Lei's army is defeated, try to capture Wang Lei alive, and the big black man will also be captured alive." It also helps us to refer them to the lord. ”
Wen Chou frowned and said, "Brother, Da Heizi's martial arts are more powerful than our brothers." If he has gained a firm foothold under the command of the lord after his assist, my brother's status may be ......."
Yan Liang waved his hand and shook his head slightly.
Wen Chou said: "What do you mean by brother? ”
Yan Liang replied, "Brother Xian, the situation under the lord's command is very complicated. Several important civil servants had different political views and disagreed with each other. Similarly, the same is true for military generals, there are many factions. Our brothers are the ones the lord relies on, and there are many people who covet our position, so we need the help of our allies. That Da Heizi and Wang Lei took refuge in the lord, and they were recommended by us, aren't they the people on our side? It doesn't matter how high the martial arts are, as long as it can increase the weight of our lord's heart. After a pause, Yan Liang said again: "I really appreciate the ability of Wang Lei and Da Heizi, these two are good." ”
Wen Chou was in awe and exclaimed: "My brother is resourceful, and my brother admires him." ”
Yan Liang smiled and said, "Go down and rest, tomorrow we will go to the front to fight." ”
Wen Chou left the big tent of the Chinese army and went back to his camp to rest.
……
At nightfall, the sky was still full of stars at first, but after a short time, the sky was cloudy and gloomy. Even so, it didn't rain at night. This night, Wang Lei's military camp did not stop. The soldiers in the army began to withdraw from the camp in an orderly manner, and then the camp was dismantled, and the army left Su Village with torches.
In one night, the army disappeared without a trace.
The next day, Yan Liang and Wen Chou rose up and led their troops into the territory of Su Village. The army rushed to the outside of Wang Lei's camp, Yan Liang looked at the discarded items left in place after use, as well as the abandoned camp, and was stunned for a moment.
Suddenly, Yan Liang laughed loudly.
The laughter was arrogant, wanton, and proud.
Wen Chou looked puzzled and asked, "Brother, Wang Lei withdrew the army, and we lost the opportunity to defeat Wang Lei." It's a bad thing, why are you laughing out loud? ”
Yan Liang stopped laughing and explained: "Wang Lei's sudden withdrawal of troops must have been fearful after fighting with us, so he withdrew his troops and left. I thought that Wang Lei was a difficult opponent, but now it seems that this person is not enough to fear. We will win this battle. Immediately, Yan Liang instructed the sentry to track down Wang Lei's army, and the army temporarily stopped advancing.
An hour later, the sentry returned.
The sentry stood in front of Yan Liang and said loudly: "Wang Lei's army retreated ten miles and set up camp ten miles away. ”
"Got it!"
Yan Liang nodded and asked the soldier to step back.
Wen Chou asked softly: "Brother, Wang Lei retreated ten miles, what should we do?" ”
"Catch up!"
Yan Liang's eyes narrowed, and he said: "Attack today, beat Wang Lei into fear, and then force him to surrender." Surrender the soldiers without a fight, we first make Wang Lei fearful through battle, and then collect Wang Lei's troops, this is the best policy...... I still think that there will be a fierce battle, but Wang Lei is afraid, we can destroy Wang Lei's psychological defense line and force him to surrender. ”
Wen Chou was in high spirits and ordered to move forward at full speed.
The army went straight to the barracks where Wang Lei was, and halfway through the march, Wang Lei took the initiative to lead the army to meet it.
When the two armies met, Wang Lei and Dian Wei used two sharp knives to keep rushing and killing.
More than 1,000 soldiers launched a fierce attack and engaged the army under Yan Liang's command. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were not to be outdone, and the soldiers under their command attacked fiercely. After an attack, Wang Lei Mingjin withdrew his troops and withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. Yan Liang took advantage of the victory to pursue and killed at the gate of Wang Lei's camp, but there were ambushes outside the camp, and with the fortifications in the camp, Yan Liang did not make progress and retreated again.
But in today's battle, Yan Liang has once again made progress.
After the army set up camp, Yan Liang sent people to Wang Lei's camp to deliver a letter, wanting to recruit Wang Lei. After Wang Lei saw the envoy, he directly refused and blasted the envoy out. This person is sometimes cheap, Wang Lei obviously rejected Yan Liang, but after Yan Liang got the news, on the one hand, he was extremely angry, but on the other hand, he praised Wang Lei for his backbone.
Such an opponent is worthy of solicitation and respect.
The army rested temporarily, but in the night, Wang Lei's army withdrew again.
Wang Lei retreated twenty miles and distanced himself from Yan Liang. Yan Liang was happy when he saw Wang Lei retreating. In the current situation, it must be that Wang Lei can't withstand the pressure, but he is unwilling to surrender, so the trapped beast is still fighting. Yan Liang led the army to follow up, pressing step by step.
Yan Liang already had a plan in his heart, he only needed Xu Tu to advance slowly, constantly persecute Wang Lei, and finally break the psychological defense line in Wang Lei's heart and force Wang Lei to surrender.
As long as Wang Lei can't bear it, he will surrender.
In fact, Yan Liang can launch the most fierce offensive and fight with Wang Lei. But Yan Liang saw the opportunity to win gradually, so he gave up the method of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 by himself, and wanted to slowly eat away at Wang Lei's troops.
It's a pity that when Yan Liang planned Wang Lei, he didn't know that he was slowly advancing, but he gradually entered the trap set by Wang Lei, and everything was going on quietly.
……
Wang Lei's barracks, the big tent of the Chinese army.
Wang Lei looked serious and asked: "Fengxiao, tomorrow is the final key, are you ready?" ”
Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, everything has been arranged!" We have spent so much time and so much thought in order to annihilate the armies of Yan Liang and Wen Chou in one fell swoop. This time, it will be a success. ”
Wang Lei nodded and said, "Okay, go down and rest early." ”
Guo Jia got up to say goodbye and went back to his tent.
