Chapter 35: Surprise Attack
Half a year ago, although You Yao was an official of the fourth grade, he did not have the qualifications to lead the army, because he was a civilian, and this was not the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty. But now it is different, Captain Hu Xirong attaches equal importance to both military and political affairs, and he can lead the army to the battle.
So he asked, "Do you think I am handsome?" The military must first state: "Respect yourself and obey the orders of the captain!" Immediately, Tuyan and Fu Hong also bowed deeply towards Youyao, and the chiefs of the Zhurong tribe bowed their heads one after another like the wind passing through the grass. In the end, You Yao turned his gaze to Chen An and Wang Cai: "How are you waiting?" β
The two hesitated, and were forced to obey. So the meeting officially began, and Chen An first asked: "I don't know how the captain wants to enter the army and attack Penglu?" β
You Yao asked: "Qing and other garrisons are here, can they send people to spy on Peng Lu's movements?" Where is the enemy in front of you, and how many people are there? In fact, he had already found out the situation through the spies in the military mustache department, but he had to pretend that he had just arrived and did not know the enemy's situation.
Wang should have replied: "Peng Fu escorted troops to oppose our army, only in the northern stable territory, at the eastern foot of the United States and High Mountain, there are nearly 10,000 ......people."
The eastern section of the adjacent counties of Anding and LΓΌyang is basically bounded by the Liupan Mountains, with Shandong belonging to Anding and Shanxi being LΓΌyang. The place where the coalition forces are now stationed is, in a broad sense, into the Liupan Mountains, and Lu Shuihu's soldiers and horses are arrayed in the Meigao Mountains, which is about 30 miles away. Meigao Mountain is the "Migang Mountain" of later generations, which is the highest peak of Liupan Mountain, with a steep eastern slope and a deep valley looking down, and there is a road to Dulu County; The mountain slope of the mountain is gentle, but it is rugged and difficult to walk. Therefore, Lu Shuihu only camped and built a fortress at the dangerous and narrow road at the eastern foot of Meigao, so it was difficult for the enemy division to ride on horseback in the west of Meigao, so it was unnecessary and inconvenient to fortify.
As for how to march the troops, Chen An's suggestion was to rush past the western foot of Meigao, bypass the enemy army, enter the city of Dulu, and then turn around, and then thwart the Penglu soldiers and horses who hurriedly returned to help. Wang Gai advocated crossing the southern section of Liupan Mountain and marching from the eastern foot of Meigao, although the road is narrow and the enemy is in charge of the camp, after all, our cavalry can go, right? If you really go to Shanxi, it is estimated that you have to lead the horse, you say "in a hurry", how can you be in a hurry?
Besides, when the time comes, Du Lu Jianbi is in front, and the enemy army is flanking from behind, will it be so easy to turn around and break the enemy?
You Yanai asked, "Can Peng Fu protect him in the army?" Chen An replied: "There is no Peng Fu to protect the banner in the enemy army, and it is estimated that it is still ...... Dulu" and then added: "If Peng comes, I am also willing to march from the East Road, as long as Peng is captured, the overall situation can be determined." β
You Yao smiled and said: "Nearly half of Peng Lu's army is only thirty miles away from me, and Peng Fuhu is not in the army, since this is the case, it is easy to break." But if this enemy is broken, the thief will be weak, and his courage will be lost, and he can attack Dulu again, and there will be no warning behind him. Without waiting for Chen An to refute, he added: "General Chen, there are many cavalry in our army today, and it is not the horse of Liangzhou." β
Why do you deliberately seek a path that is difficult for the cavalry to take in order to take credit from the king? Now gathered Di, Qiang, Xianbei troops, the number of cavalry is also a lot, if you take the west road, give up the long and short, relying on the infantry alone, we may not be able to beat Lu Shuihu Ah, "I have made up my mind, I can march from Shandong." β
Chen An retorted: "The enemy is in charge of setting up camp, or is prepared, it is not easy to attack, the captain thinks twice!" β
You Yao shook his head and said: "If Qing and others first come, they will march into the army, the enemy is indeed prepared, and now he has been here for nearly ten days, I expect the enemy to be ......arrogant" raised his eyebrows: "It is a hurry to get dressed, tonight will pass six plates, follow the road to the north, and you can reach the enemy base in front of the enemy base on weekdays." But you are willing to work hard, how can you not be restrained? β
When Fu Hong heard this, he was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly questioned: "Captain, more than 30 miles of land, you still have to climb the mountains, and it is very difficult to march at night......
You Ya said: "I naturally know about this. Ran Qing has been in Luoyang for a long time, don't you know the road to the north? Our army is more than 10,000, how can there be countless people who can march at night? Thinking that General Pei's subordinates are all accustomed to traveling at night, so they can repeatedly defeat Hu Kou, is there no warrior in Xirong? And recently, there has often been a thick fog on Pingdan, so he will delay for a few hours, and he should not attack the enemy by mistake. β
He used the method of agitation, and most of the people present were brave and strong, so they responded to the order one after another, headed by the military mustache. You Yao struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Who is the pioneer?" β
All the generals asked for their lives, and naturally Chen An and Wang should be included. You Yao felt that those Di and Qiang were easy to fool, only these two were inconvenient to place, if only one of them was the vanguard, the other would definitely be dissatisfied. Immediately smiled: "This time the imperial court edict against Lu Shuihu, since the official army first" pointed to Chen An, and then pointed to Wang Cai: "General Chen can lead his troops first, and after crossing the mountain, General Wang Liangzhou Dama will be changed to a pioneer, and General Chen will follow." Whoever goes up first will be rewarded. β
Immediately, he hyped up the prestige of General Pei and the strength of the soldiers and horses in the north, and he would definitely come from the east to attack; Then he encouraged those Di and Qiang chieftains, saying that now that the imperial court is employing people, as long as you can obey orders and make meritorious contributions, there will be rewards, even if you want to get a few official positions, you will not be embarrassed. So everyone agreed, and hurried back to their respective battalions to prepare their troops and horses. You Yao arranged the succession, the first march, the first group of Chen An's headquarters began to act in the afternoon, and the last group was a military beard, and waited until dusk before his wife loaded on the road.
Half of the Di and Qiang are still nomadic, and the Xianbei Tuyuhun is purely nomadic, because they are accustomed to eating meat and milk every day, and the proportion of night blindness is lower than that of the farming people, of course, it is not absolute, and the lower class of the few people also have no capital to take in how much vitamin A, but fortunately, most of the people who can be brought out to fight are middle-level nocturnal walkers, picking and picking, and there can be nearly half of the people.
So he carried a torch and hurried through the night, saying that it was thirty miles away, but he went around and around, and walked more than fifty miles, and when the light of day was shining on the second day, Wang should have led more than a thousand horsemen to finally approach the enemy camp. As You Yao said, there was a thick fog on all sides, and Wang should have ordered his men and horses to suppress the sound and slow down, lest the enemy find out that I am more than a thousand people, and it is not easy to get rid of the enemy's base, and it is not easy to attack hard, and the losses are also large, so it is better to wait for Chen An behind him to catch up.
The road stops at this one, in fact, this place is east-west, and the coalition forces come from east to west, and there are mountains in the north and south, even if the road is covered by dense fog, they will not get lost. Chen An's troops were mostly foot soldiers, but in order to grab the merit, they walked not much slower than the Liangzhou horse in front, so before the dense fog dissipated, they also entered the enemy base.
Wang should be waiting to send someone to discuss with Chen An, should he wait for the rear team, and wait for more men and horses to be assembled before launching an attack? He had ordered his soldiers to dismount and walk on foot, and crept to the edge of the enemy base, and found that the sound in the camp was quite weak, and it was obvious that they were not yet defenseless, and perhaps they had not all gotten up yet. In that case, we don't have to rush to attack, right?
Whoever wanted the envoy to arrive before he first lined up the formation, and then ordered the drums to beat, personally led the troops, and launched a charge towards the enemy base. The fog was about to disperse, and Wang should have seen from a distance that Chen An's seven-foot broadsword in his left hand and eight snake spears in his right hand had already split the horse and fence, and was about to rush into the enemy camp!
Wang should be taken aback, and said in his heart that this Chen An is really brave. Even when he was in Liangzhou, he had heard of Chen An's brave name, but when he really saw it, "it is better to be famous than to meet", and felt that the rumors were not true, just such a small man who was more than six feet tall, and looked like a mouse, how could he fight? Today, when I saw Chen An taking the lead and rushing into battle with weapons, I knew that his name was true.
The king should give the order immediately, and we should all be cautious, all dismount, and charge on foot. Immediately, he brandished his spear and chased after him, wanting to kill the enemy side by side with Chen An.
Although You Yao has no experience in actual command operations, he has participated in the battle of Dalicheng behind the scenes of Pei Gai, and has been exposed to Pei Wei, Pei Gai's uncle and nephew, as well as Tao Kan and others, and of course, it is also related to talent, plus the analysis of people's hearts, and he is better at it than ordinary martial artists. Moreover, he estimated that if the coalition army did not advance, the enemy would slack off, and it was not empty words, so he had already ordered the army to send someone to secretly investigate, so he dared to take risks.
Besides, the road is narrow, and even if the enemy is defeated, it is inconvenient for the enemy to pursue him from afar, so I can restrain the rear team, retreat slowly, and confront it, so that theoretically the whole army will not collapse.
The most critical problem is that there are many miscellaneous people in the army, such as Qiang and others, from all sides, although Chen An and Wang should be Jin people, they are not harmonious, this hard pinched together, it is difficult to last long. Leaving them on the border for a few days, they are already full of contradictions and disgrace, how can they expect to fight the enemy for a long time? Only by taking advantage of the opportunity that he has just received the enemy and his vigor has not yet disappeared can he launch a surprise attack that he can hope to break the enemy once and seize the initiative on the battlefield.
As expected, Lu Shuihu has been arrogant for a long time, and now although he has heard the warning, there is no trace of the enemy on the east road, and Jiao Song has stumbled on the west road under Linjing City, and there are more than 10,000 people, and they have not entered...... It is estimated that these foreign troops who are temporarily called up, and they also echo the official army to fight a tailwind battle, and the northerners are not approaching, so they dare not come.
In addition, Peng Fubao was not in the army, and he was busy recruiting troops and horses to consolidate the defense of Dulu and Wushi counties, and the front-line generals gradually relaxed their vigilance. Therefore, this morning was attacked in a hurry, and the army was in chaos, and Chen An, who was the leader in the coalition army, was a brave general for a while, and Wang's troops were all sharp soldiers in Liangzhou, and soon they surged in, dividing the enemy army one after another. They tore open the gap, and the Xianbei, Di, and Qiang soldiers and horses behind arrived one after another and threw them into the battlefield, the thicker their momentum became, and on the other hand, Lu Shuihu didn't know how many enemy troops came, and the people's hearts were both chaotic and afraid, and soon they collapsed.
Before noon, Lu Shuihu was defeated, killed and captured more than 3,000 people, and the rest fled to the north. You Yao had already arrived at this time, and immediately ordered the front army to suspend the whole column, so that the cavalry of Fu Hong, Junsu and other troops launched a pursuit, and killed the city of Dulu in one go.
In the remnants, the king should come to Chen An, and want to put a few soft words to reduce some of the past suspicions, because people are really brave, I and other Liangzhou soldiers, the most respectful brave, how can we be rude to the brave? Who would have thought that he would give up his hand after approaching, and before he could speak, Chen An glanced at Wang Cai first, and sneered: "I broke the enemy base today, I ascended first, you don't want to take the merit and only the captain of the tour can plan the law, and I will fight bravely to win this victory, not what you said before." β
As he spoke, he wiped his weapon and walked away. The king should be filled with rage, and he is eager to draw his knife on the spot and slash this arrogant bastard in two: "Shaft, I will repay him!" β
The defeat of the former army caused great panic in Dulu City, and Peng Fuhu couldn't help but be surprised. He wanted to gather troops and horses and go out of the city, but he was stopped by his subordinates and said: "The south is just a scatter of horses and Qiang, if it is not for the arrival of the Jin army, I will not dare to move." Now that I have broken my fortress and come to the city, is it not the Wu clan who has been policed? The chieftain should not go out lightly, but also preserve his strength to deal with the Jin division. β
Peng Fuhu nodded and said, "This is reasonable. "Hurriedly sent people to Wushi to investigate, and at the same time personally went to the city to observe the enemy's situation. You ordered each army to build more flags and set up camp in the south of Dulu City, looking at it from afar, there were no less than 30,000 of them. Peng Fubao couldn't help but exclaim: "Could it be that Qinzhou Di and Qiang are all attacking me from the Jin people, how can there be so many soldiers and horses?" "Since I was afraid in my heart, I didn't dare to go out of the city easily.
You Yao rode a horse to see Dulu City, only to see that the city is not high, the wall is not strict, and the guards are not lawless, it is expected that it will not be difficult to attack, but the problem is from the position of the original Xuzhou army. Even if I learned the manufacture of some siege equipment from Xu Zhen, I can't build a ladder by myself!
had to not attack the city first, but ordered Di, Qiang, and Xianbei to divide their troops every day, plundering the people of Lushui and Hu, and promised to hand over the grain and straw they received, and thirty percent could keep it for themselves, and the population and property obtained were divided equally between officials and privates.
Lu Shuihu was originally a half-farming and half-herding foreign association, in fact, he was not used to the city, the main population was in the wild, and most of the Jin people in the city were originally inhabited, and even the two county towns were not taken by them on their own initiative, but after Jia Kaizhan died, the Jin Dynasty officials and some large households in the area where Lu Shuihu lived fled collectively, and the rest ate pot pulp to welcome Peng Fuhu, just to maintain order in the city.
Therefore, Youyao's move is tantamount to copying Peng Fuhu's nest and breaking his foundation. The soldiers and horses in the city were panicked because of this, in addition to the Penglu headquarters, other Di, Qiang, Yuezhi, Xiongnu, etc., dozens of people fled around the city every day. Peng Fu said that it would be impossible to fight again, just wait for the news of the Wu clan to arrive, and I will lead my troops out to win or lose with those miscellaneous hus!
Dulu and Wushi were not far apart, but the generals sent to inspect did not return until five days later, and reported with a sad face: "The Jin army has really come to attack Wushi, and the Liang clan in the city has behaved very unusually...... I was almost killed by it, and I managed to escape with my life......"
The Wu clan was originally the old nest of the Liang clan, a large Jin clan, and a considerable number of them still lived in the city, and the Liang family was also the leader of the Liang family. Peng Fuhu was worried about the Liang family, he had just received the news that the Jin army was about to attack, so he went to the Wu family to inspect it in person, and he saw that the Liang family was quite honest at that time......
