Pei should pretend to be cowardly, in order to paralyze or lure Liu Can's main force to attack, but where is Liu Can's main force?

According to the information obtained yesterday, Liu Cang's main force has left the foothills of Shouyang Mountain, and the first step of the Nantun Yanshi to lure the enemy can be said to have had a certain effect and made Liu Ya lead six or seven thousand troops into Tun Yanshou City. But what exactly will the enemy do next? Is it to wait and see the changes in Yanshi, or to attack the ancestors in the south at the foot of Yangcheng Mountain, or to aid Liu Xun in the east under Chenggao City?

If you are not afraid of Liu Cang or the south or the east, but you are afraid that he will not move in Yanshi, the deadlock of the confrontation will still not be completely broken.

Pei and Zu's plan was to lure the enemy to attack first, so that on the one hand, they could rely on Chenggao and Yangcheng Mountain to occupy a favorable terrain to contend with them, and on the other hand, they could achieve the effect of attacking from both sides. Of course, Liu Cang can also divide his troops to fight Pei and Zu, but as long as he moves first, he will be affected by the terrain, and the Jin army will still have a relatively large chance of winning. But if he doesn't move, the plan will be tantamount to failure, and he will have to find another solution.

On the Cheng Gao side, Pei Gai didn't find out that Liu Xun had received any reinforcements, of course, if Liu Cang only sent hundreds of people to help every day, Pei Gai wouldn't have noticed it, but that would have no impact on the overall situation at all; In Yangcheng Mountain, Zu Ti has long built a dock fort in the east of Bishui, just between the two armies, every day to light wolf smoke, bonfire, in order to report safety, if there are signs of Hu army coming to attack, the beacon alarm will naturally be different.

But for two days in a row, smoke was lit by day, and fire was raised at night, and there was no vision...... This shows that Liu Cang didn't move at all!

After Zhen Sui's fierce battle today, Pei Gai's decision was questioned in public, Pei Gai was still groaning, and the rest of the generals also asked for orders. Lu Yan said: "How can you break the enemy in front of you and eliminate the evil breath in our chest?" The governor is afraid that we will show the enemy to be strong, and Liu Cang will not dare to act rashly, which is only equal to today......"

Your plan to lure the enemy is good, but if the opponent is tricked, it is long overdue to drill the trap; Since he hasn't drilled yet, it is estimated that he has not been hit. In that case, does it make sense for us to continue pretending to be here?

Pei Gai said: "I have to stay for three or five more days...... "Liu Cang first asked Liu Xun to try my Cheng Gao, and the news was sent back, he made a decision, and then mobilized the troops and horses, it also takes time, let's just wait for him, what's the matter?"

Zhen shouted: "The governor is too serious! Now that we have destroyed the enemy in front of us, we will kill the whole division towards Meng Jin, and see if Liu Cang moves or not?! ”

Pei Gai bowed slightly: "In this case, I will go out of the city, but in the shape of you, if you can't be a pioneer, it's better to rest and rest." ”

Zhen Sui listened, and quickly changed his words: "The governor is so heavy, and if you wait for him for one more day, what will hurt?" ”

Pei Gai immediately glanced at the barbarian fiercely, and then waved his hand: "Let's go down, and let me think about it." He just left Pei Wei and Tao Kan to discuss the battle situation.

Tao Kan said: "The former Tanma reported that although Liu Cang crossed the river was an elite, it was probably less than 30,000 people, and there should be other armies in Hongnong for the crossing, for Dinghongnong, and consolidate its western wing. Now Liu Cang is not moving in Yanshi, and I suspect that he is waiting for other armies to join forces......"

Pei Wei stared at the map for a long time, and then immediately suggested to Pei Gai: "If Tao Jun's judgment is true, then Liu Cang will win a decisive victory in the plain today, and even rely on the city to defend it, it may not be the enemy of me and the Yuzhou army." As Lu Yan and others said, the envoy might as well break Liu Xun first, and then ask Gongxian to go to Mengjin and ask Zu Yuzhou to attack Yanshou City. Liu Cang must divide the army to rescue, and this can also mobilize his troops. Otherwise, if they wait for their other armies to arrive, their number will be greater than ours, and I am afraid that something will happen again. ”

The three of them discussed for a long time, until the sun sank, Pei Gai finally made up his mind, so he wrote two letters, and sent people out of the east gate to deliver one to the ancestor at the foot of Yangcheng Mountain, and the other to Liu Yetang in Chenggaoguan. Then he lit a candle and beat drums to gather the generals.

The soldiers are fast, and if you don't make a decision, you can just make a decision, and now you have decided to start the action tonight, not tomorrow!

That night coincided with the full moon, the clear light was everywhere, and the four fields were transparent, which was not a good time for a night attack, but only in this way, the enemy was often unprepared and according to Pei Gai's plan, it was just a rush attack, and it was not a deliberate "night" attack.

After all, the north gate of Chenggao is only a hundred steps away from the "Seven Star Fort" at most, and it will arrive as soon as you charge.

In fact, the suspension bridge has been invented a long time ago, but due to the lack of materials and the backwardness of technology, most of the cities were not built as defense facilities in these years, so there was no suspension bridge in Chenggao City. On the moat outside the north gate, a simple wooden bridge was originally built, and before the arrival of the Hu army, Pei Gai immediately ordered someone to remove its beams and set fire to it, so Liu Xun had to temporarily erect a wooden ladder and transport the siege vertebrae.

The siege vertebrae are very precious, and the giant tree that fell into the trench in the morning is difficult to pick up, and the one that was once made a contribution in the afternoon and was almost dragged into the door by Zhen Sui was finally snatched back, and there were many stumps and broken arms attached to it...... Most of the corpses of Hu soldiers were still piled up outside the city gates, and it was too late to clean them up. Liu Xun is also thinking about it, should he storm again the next day, and strive to trap Chenggao? Or do you negotiate with Cheng Gao, take a break for a day, and clean up the bones of the soldiers? After all, more than a dozen people of the Xuzhou army were either killed outside the city gate, or fell from the city head with negative wounds, and all the bones were on the outside of the city wall.

That night, the main attack of the Xuzhou side was the "right battalion of robbing fire" Zhen Sui couldn't go into battle for the time being, so he had to repeatedly take care of Wang Ze, the deputy commander of the right battalion: "I specially fought for the opportunity you to, don't slack off, you must win the first merit for my battalion!" ”

This Wang Ze is a native of Xiapi, Xuzhou, a squire, a young reader of poetry and books, and has six tricks in seven tricks, so he knows a few more words than Gao Le and others, but he is good at guns and sticks, so in the troubled times, he relied on the momentum of the family and led the construction of a dock fort, gathering more than 400 villagers. Later, Pei Gai led his troops into Xiapi, and the local dock lord heard what this envoy had done in Guangling, and he was all frightened, and asked for surrender one after another, and Wang Ze was among them. At that time, Wang Ze was in front of the "fire robbery camp", and he personally went to invest money to Zhen Sui, and offered a lot of treasures and a few beautiful maids. Zhen Sui saw that this person had a lot of strength, so he immediately took it under his command, and later when he was in the big riot, he was promoted to the right deputy battalion governor.

You must know that the chief and deputy governors of the battalions in Xuzhou and even the second-level captains and deputy captains, although most of them are from civilian backgrounds, but there are very few people at the bottom of the real level, and Lu He is a special case, and it all depends on the martial arts he has practiced in hunting to be favored by Pei Gai and Gao Le. Ordinary peasants have been suffering from food and clothing since they were young, their physique is relatively poor, and they have no opportunity to practice literature and martial arts.

Moreover, most of these ordinary peasants have no ambitions, even if they have made some merits and accumulated a few meritorious deeds, they are all busy replacing the fields, and they are promoted to the highest rank of platoon commander, and then they have neither ability nor ambition.

Pulling back and saying, Wang Ze listened to Zhen Sui's entrustment, and immediately patted his chest, asking the camp governor to rest assured: "I am the head of the whole army to rob the fire, and I will definitely make contributions here, why do you give orders?" "Actually, I said in my heart: Why is this the task you helped me fight? Do you sit down and recuperate from your wounds, and I am going to make a meritorious service, and then I will count you as your share? You've done a lot of work, so why are you so stingy......

According to Pei Gai's instructions, Wang Ze first tied the two carts side by side, with a multi-faceted giant shield attached to the front, and modified it like a bulldozer. As soon as the city gate was opened, the soldiers of the "Right Battalion of the Fire Robbery" worked hard to push the cart, pushed all the broken bones piled in front of the gate into the moat, and then moved down the dirt bags that had been prepared long ago from the car, and filled the moat in front of the city gate.

Immediately, Wang Ze shouted, and all the soldiers held a torch in their hands, and immediately crossed the moat and surged towards the Seven Star Fort.

Naturally, there were guards of the Hu army on the fort, and as soon as the city gate was opened, they immediately found out, hurriedly shouted and shouted, warned their comrades, and reported to Liu Xun and other generals. But the Xuzhou army came too fast, from the launch of the cart to the rush to the forts, according to the timing standards of later generations, it was only a few minutes. The Hu army attacked the city during the day, tired from hard fighting, and half of Thailand was asleep, even if he didn't take off his clothes, he hurriedly got up and copied the weapons, and then looked for his troops and reorganized the queue.

Pei should build the Seven Star Fort, it is only a few days, most of it has not been completed, and he has also ordered that it must not be completed, and the wooden frame of the rammed earth outside the fort has not been removed, and a lot of materials and firewood have been piled up. Liu Xun was confused, he didn't expect the guards to dare to go out of the city, so he did not strictly order it to be sorted out, in addition to selecting some materials to make wooden ladders, even most of the firewood was not moved directly to use how convenient it was, so as to save the soldiers from sending soldiers out of the fort to pick wood.

Therefore, there are many things that cause fire inside and outside the Seven Star Fort, and when the winter dry season, the Xuzhou army is divided into seven teams and goes to the Seven Forts, and as soon as they get close, they will throw the torch out in their hands, and the firewood will soon be ignited, and the fire will rise to the sky.

In fact, the fire outside the fort may not soon burn into the fort, but this has caused great pressure and panic to Hu Bing's psychology.

Immediately, the two sides used bows and arrows to shoot, and the Xuzhou soldiers took the platoon as a unit, and the sword and shield were sandwiched with spears, and they rushed to the fort from the place where there was no fire. You must know that this Seven Star Fort was originally used to assist in the defense of the city wall, so the west-facing side was relatively well built, and the east-facing side, that is, the side facing the city wall, was mostly unfinished and leaked gaps. In each gap position, the Xuzhou Army had already been ordered by the generals and kept it in mind, so it quickly tore several breakthroughs.

Wang Ze crossed the horse and held the bow, commanding in the center, and his mood was really happy. If it is such a relaxing and pleasant task every time, then it will be divided into three percent with Zhen, so what's the matter?

The fort is like seven stars, and its bucket is to the west, from north to south are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Shaoguang. Among them, Tianshu Fort is the farthest away from the city wall, followed by Kaiyang Fort, these two Hu soldiers have more time to react, and they are fighting according to the remnant wall, and the battle situation is anxious for a while. However, the distance between the Tianquan Fort where Liu Xun is located is not far away, and Wang Ze also arranged nearly thirty percent of the soldiers and horses here, Du Du said, "Shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves and capture kings first".

The nearest Tianji and Tianxuan forts fell first, and the soldiers of the "fire robbery battalion" burst into the fort with smoke and fire, and killed and slashed, and the dead and wounded of the Hu soldiers were not counted. Then the Tianquan Fort was also shaken, Liu Xun was still standing on the fort, wielding a long knife, commanding the soldiers to defend it, and wanted to find an opportunity to launch a counterattack, but he looked from a distance, and the enemy troops who rushed out of the city were not less than 10,000 people, where did they come from?!

In fact, it is less than 10,000, there are nearly 1,000 people in the "Right Battalion of the Fire Robbery" in front, and Pei Gai and Tao Kan in the back, the two generals personally led Wen Lang and other troops, as well as more than 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, and the total is only 6,000. Zhen Sui led the "Robbery Camp" to stay in Chenggao, in addition, Gao Le led the two battalions of "Wulin" out of the south gate, and Lu Yan led the two battalions of "Pengshan" out of the north gate, preparing to outflank the Seven Star Fort on both wings, but they had not yet arrived.

But even so, the Xuzhou army that came out of the west gate was clearly more than the Hu army, and Liu Xun couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it, didn't he say that there were only three or four thousand people in the city at most? However, until this time, he still didn't understand, didn't think that he had been tricked, and was still guessing: Could it be that Zu Ti's Yuzhou army came to aid Chenggao? Where did they come from? Why did our sentry not notice it......

The frontal enemy attack was very urgent, and Liu Xun was still waiting to hold on, but he was pulled by several generals and pulled down the fortress wall. The generals all said that the enemy army is large, and it is obvious that the main force is coming straight to Tianquan Fort, once the fort is surrounded, I am afraid that we will all be reduced to the defeat of the chieftain under the ranks, so the general should leave quickly! Liu Xun's mood fell from the mountain to the deep valley in an instant, and he also felt quite helpless, and his brain was blank...... In the words of later generations: it was a crash. So in desperation, he ordered his own flag to be erected in the fort, and he and several generals and cronies fled from the north side with smoke and fire.

Liu Xun left, leaving the banner can only encourage the Hu army who don't know the details of his fort, for the soldiers of this fort, it is to watch the main general flee After all, these forts are not very big, each can only accommodate a thousand people at most, how can there be any undetectable immediate demoralization, was commanded by Wang Ze soldiers and horses, and successfully broke in. A young general rushed to the fort wall, cut down Liu Xun's flag, and went out of the fort to Wang Ze.

Wang Zemei smiled, and waved his hand: "The governor is behind, I have a glory with you, but I can go to the governor immediately." The young general was also overjoyed, and hurriedly spread his feet, and ran away to Pei Gai's horse.

Pei Gai was immediately wielding a bamboo cane, commanding the auxiliaries to outflank the left and right, assisting in the "right battalion of the fire" and attacking the remaining forts. At this time, the young general came to present the flag, and Pei should ask: "Can you catch Liu Xun?" The young general shook his head: "It's gone." Pei Cai immediately turned his head and instructed Wen Lang: "Qing will ride my subordinates, don't chase at this time, but when?" Wen Lang gave up his hand and took the order.

Then he galloped out of the city gate, and hurried away from his own army, until he was in front of Pei Cai's horse, and the knight turned over and landed. Pei Gai couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in his heart that the city is fine, why do you want to send someone over, can it be said that something has changed? Before he could ask, the knight knelt down on one knee first, and reported in his throat: "Pei Changshi has sent a certain person to report to the governor, you can see it in the city, and the beacon fire in the south has changed!" ”
