Chapter 952: Striking the West (2)
In fact, on the second day of the first day of November, Storm Kite, Feng Ting, and Jin Huang had already noticed Zhao Hongrun's "Tactic 2". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, this was not what these three Beiyuan Shihao thought of themselves, but Zhao Hongrun deliberately revealed it to them.
On that day, the day after the violent kite sent a letter of persuasion to Zhao Hongrun to surrender but was silently rejected by the latter, the Han army tried to use troops against Weiqiu.
More than 10,000 Han troops built pontoon bridges, crossed the unknown river, and took the lead in attacking the Wei army camp under Weiqiu Mountain, that is, the army led by Wei General Ganben.
Unfortunately, due to the restrictions of the river terrain, the Korean cavalry failed to participate in the battle this time, and only dispatched the infantry and crossbowmen of the Korean army, so that the two armies fought fiercely for two hours, but the Korean army was never able to shake the army of Wei General Ganben.
This is not surprising, after all, the strength of the Wei infantry is obvious to all, and the experience of the Wei State in training infantry is like the Korean training of cavalry.
At that time, the violent kite was annoyed by the defeat of the soldiers, and in order to frustrate the morale of the Wei army, he shouted in front of the battle, advising the Wei army to surrender early and not to make unnecessary resistance.
Unexpectedly, this move was ridiculed by General Wei Ganben.
General Wei laughed and mocked the tyrant: "Arrogant fool, when you gathered the sergeants to besiege our army, our army had already conquered the city of the eldest son!" ”
Hearing this, the violent kite was dumbfounded, and he was uncertain, so he returned to the camp with a calm face without saying a word, and told Jin Huang and Feng Ying what Wei General Ganben said, only to hear Jin Huang and Feng Ying staring at each other for a long time.
It's no wonder that they have been thinking about how to capture and kill that Wei Gongzirun for the past few days, and where can they take care of carefully considering the situation in the eldest son city, so that when they heard the words of the tyrant kite, Feng Ying was covered with cold sweat.
You must know that a while ago, he learned the news of the defeat of Jin Huang and Storm Kite successively, and in order to besiege the Wei army in Hyun City, he dispatched 30,000 troops, which is almost the strength of nearly seven cities in the eldest son city.
Then, when he realized that Wei Gongzirun might lead an army to attack Gao Wolf, he didn't have time to think about it before he brought his army here, and he didn't have time to think about the remaining 80,000 troops in the area of Hyun City.
Maybe he subconsciously felt that as long as he captured that Wei Gongzirun, then this war would be over.
And now, that Wei Gongzirun has not yet been captured, but he learned that the Wei army in the area of Hyun City is making a surprise attack on the eldest son city, and as the guard of the upper party, Feng Ying has the heart to die.
"What can I do? Or will you lead the army back to help? Jin Di thought for a while and said to Feng Ting.
Hearing this, Feng Ying shook his head and sighed, "It's too late...... If the Wei army really planned to attack the city of the eldest son, then with the strength of the 80,000 Wei troops in the area of Changping (Hyun City), it might only take two or three days to capture the city of the eldest son...... Even if I lead the army back to help at this time, I may only be able to see the fluttering Wei army flag on the tower of the eldest son city. Speaking of this, he looked around at Storm Kite and Jin Di, and said in a deep voice: "Only by capturing Wei Gongzirun, there is still a turning point in this battle." ”
Since then, Jin Huang, Storm Kite, and Feng Ying have been determined to capture that Wei Gonggongrun alive, because only by capturing this Wei Gonggongrun alive will this battle take a turn.
Unexpectedly, on the fourth day of the first month of November, Storm Kite suddenly learned from several scouts who came to pay their respects that the Wei army on Weiqiu Mountain was actually quietly moving to Taihang Mountain to the east of it.
It turned out that after a long time, the Wei army built defensive facilities in the area of Weiqiu and Niucal Mountain, just to attract their attention.
At first, Storm Kite suspected that Wei Gongzirun was trying to sneak attack Gaodu, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong.
After all, they both know that Gao Du is the granary of Tianmen Pass, and it is bound to be heavily defended, and that Wei Gongzirun's 20,000 surprise attack troops do not have any siege equipment, how can they attack the underground Gaodu?
Some people may say that the Wei army in Weiqiu has nearly 20,000 people, and what is it to build some war weapons before attacking Gaodu, but the question is, where does the Wei army have the time to attack Gaodu step by step?
Really think that Storm Kite, Feng Ting, and Jin Huang are dead people?
In other words, there was only one way for the Wei army to attack Gaodu, and that was a sneak attack - a sneak attack on Gaodu before Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Feng Ying could react.
But this matter is not realistic, so Storm Kite thought of another speculation, that is, Wei Gongzirun tried to escape to the Taihang Mountain in the east.
This is terrible, you must know that the Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, tens of miles or even hundreds of miles deep, if there is an army that escapes into the mountains, it will not be caught at all.
And the embarrassing thing is that in order to besiege Wei Gongzirun, the Shangdang guard Feng Ying even lost the eldest son city. If Wei Gongzirun cannot be captured in the end, then even if the nearly 20,000 Wei troops here are completely annihilated, it will not be able to make up for the defeat of the Han army in the entire Shangdang strategy.
"Damn it!"
The violent kite scolded hatefully, because he was originally worried that Wei Gongzirun still had the intention of sneaking up on the wolf, so he deployed the infantry on the west and southwest sides of Weiqiu, and as for the rest of Weiqiu, he sent cavalry scouts to monitor the movements of the Wei army.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually wanted to escape.
"It seems that the Ganben army on the other side of the river should be an 'abandoned son', abandoning the car to protect the commander...... Knowingly Choice. Feng Ying said with a bitter face.
Hearing this, the storm kite was silent, and said in a deep voice after half a ring: "Maybe it's still in time......"
"What?" Jin Huang and Feng Ying asked suspiciously.
I saw that the storm kite stared at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Send cavalry to intercept it." …… According to the news from the scouts, Wei Gongzirun may have been worried about being seen through by our army, so he still adopted the same method he had used to pass through the blockade of our cavalry in the area of Hyun City, and used a thousand-man patrol as a cover to escape to the Taihang Mountain in the east...... If he plans to withdraw as many Wei troops as possible to Taihang Mountain, then we still have a chance. ”
Hearing this, Feng Ying frowned and asked, "How can you guarantee that Wei Gongzirun will evacuate at the end?" …… Perhaps he had already retreated to Taihang Mountain at this moment. ”
"I can't guarantee it, but do you have a better idea?" The storm kite asked rhetorically, blocking Feng Ying speechless.
Seeing this, the storm kite said again: "Send cavalry to intercept it immediately, or you may be able to intercept Wei Gongzirun." …… If he had escaped into Taihang Mountain at this moment, then he would have ordered the cavalry to abandon their horses and go into the mountains to search for the trails. ”
Jin Di and Feng Ying glanced at each other, Jin Di nodded and said, "For today's plan, this is the only way." …… What about the Ganben army on the other side of the river? ”
The storm kite glanced at Jin Huang and did not speak.
Thinking about it, after seeing that Wei Gongzirun might be trying to escape to Taihang Mountain, how could the violent kite have the heart to pay attention to the army led by Wei General Ganben at the foot of the southwest mountain of Weiqiu.
In the eyes of the tyrannical kite, this is clearly an army that has been abandoned by Wei Gongzirun as an outcast.
So on the same day, the storm kite sent out the cavalry of the army camp and ordered these to bypass from the north of Weiqiu and go to the east side of Weiqiu to intercept it, after all, the road on the south side of Weiqiu has almost been blocked by the Wei general Ganben, and under the blockade of the Wei army, it is not so easy for the Korean cavalry to cross as soon as possible.
Of course, the main reason is that the storm kite doesn't want to pay attention to this broken Wei army at all, anyway, this Wei army can't escape the encirclement of his Han army, and there will be a chance to clean it up in the future.
However, just when the cavalry under the command of the Storm Kite Army and Feng Ying Army rushed to the east side of Weiqiu in a hurry, the Wei Gongzi Run, who was thought to be by the Storm Kite or had fled to Taihang Mountain, actually stayed on the top of Weiqiu Mountain, roasting the bonfire and eating barbecue.
Even, this Wei Gongzirun has no intention of escaping at all.
"Report!"
With a quick shout, the two green crows quickly came to Zhao Hongrun, knocked on the ground and said: "Your Highness Qiqi, just now, the Han battalion dispatched a large number of cavalry to the north to bypass this hill and go east along the mountain. ”
"Finish it for me."
Handing the barbecue in his hand to Zong Wei Mu Qing, Zhao Hongrun sucked his greasy thumb and said lightly: "Very good, it seems that the violent kite has taken the bait." ”
What is said "the Wei army quietly moved to Taihang Mountain on the east side of Weiqiu", and what "Wei Gongzi runs the old trick again", in fact, it is just the Wei army's old suspicions.
It is undeniable that the Han army reprimands did see the Wei army's thousand-man team between Weiqiu and Taihang Mountain, which "seemed to be moving to Taihang Mountain", but in fact, it was just a few Wei army thousand-man teams playing - if they found that there were Korean army reprimands in the distance, these Wei army thousand-man teams would advance to the Taihang Mountain in the east, deliberately exposing themselves to the noses of those Korean army reprimands; But if these Han soldiers left the cavalry, these Wei army of 1,000 people would go back.
Therefore, it seems that the thousands of Wei troops that seem to be in a steady stream are quietly moving towards Taihang Mountain, but in fact, there are only a few back and forth.
With this trick, Zhao Hongrun once again deceived the three of Storm Kite, Jin Huang, and Feng Ting, making these three people mistakenly think that he Zhao Hongrun was trying to transfer to Taihang Mountain, so he quickly sent the cavalry in the camp to the east side of Weiqiu to intercept it.
For this reason, Zhao Hongrun did not hesitate to let the general Gan Ben wait for the opportunity to reveal to Storm Kite the secret that "the Wei army in the area of Hyun's City is attacking the Eldest Son City", in order to make Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Feng Ying firm in the idea of "Zhao Hongrun must be captured alive", because only by capturing "Wei Gongzirun" alive can the Korean army's strategic mistakes be reversed.
At this time, Zhai Huang and Sun Shuke, the two Wei generals, were also sitting by the bonfire, and after hearing Zhao Hongrun's words, they glanced at each other, and they both had smiles on their faces.
Zhai Huang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Highness is clever, so that the Han army under the mountain will have no cavalry......"
"What's more, they mistakenly thought that our army was trying to move to the Taihang Mountains to the east......," Sun Shuke added with a chuckle.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
Immediately, he slowly restrained his smile, licked his lips, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Tell me to go down, tell the soldiers to eat and drink openly, fill their stomachs, and store up their physical strength. …… Plan for many days, just for this battle! ”
Hearing this, including Zhai Huang and Sun Shuke, all the soldiers and generals nearby showed resolute and solemn expressions.
"Yes!"
