Chapter 116 [Anti-Encirclement and Suppression]
The news that Zhao Kuo led the water to defeat Zhu Hai's 3,000 men and horses quickly spread to Daliang City, and the monarchs and ministers of Wei were greatly shaken, and the main shock was that Zhao Kuo only won the victory over Zhu Hai with only more than 200 horses, in the past, in people's speculation, Zhao Kuo was just brave, and at this time people remembered that Zhao Kuo was the son of an authentic famous general, and it was Zhao Kuo's business to lead the troops to fight.
As the saying goes, how can others sleep next to the couch, the King of Wei, as well as Xinling Jun and Long ** Jun all feel that Zhao Kuo should be eliminated as soon as possible, this branch of the Zhao troops in Wei territory, this is the face of the Great Wei, under the planning of Long ** Jun, the Wei army dispatched troops and sent troops to begin to encircle Zhao Kuo, intercepted, and after Zhao Kuo just crossed the Jishui, he fell into the encirclement of the Wei army.
Zhao Kuo led his troops to be stationed on a hill next to the small tributary of Jishui at this time, and there were no less than 5,000 Wei troops around the hill, which was also caused by Zhao Kuo's carelessness, and he chose to cross the river, and there was a Wei army stationed on the opposite side, which can be said to have plunged into the arms of the Wei army, fortunately, it was already night, and the main general of the Wei army did not dare to attack Zhao Kuo's army immediately, giving Zhao Kuo precious time.
The bonfire is still burning, except for a few soldiers who are in charge of guarding and sentry, the rest are already asleep, the weather is still a little cold in the spring night, Zhao Jun slept very sweetly, thanks to Zhao Kuo's method, the place where the soldiers slept was originally lit bonfire, after removing the bonfire, the ground was comparable to a hot kang head, sleeping on it, relieving fatigue very much.
It was already the second half of the night, Hu Yu didn't sleep, but followed Zhao Kuo to look at the movement under the mountain, he was not worried about being surrounded by the Wei army, in his thoughts, as long as he followed Zhao Kuo, he would not lose the battle.
Zhao Kuo's eyes flashed with flames, which was the image of the Wei army's camp fire under the mountain, and he turned his head to Hu Yu and said, "Wake everyone up after an hour, and we will break through at night." ”
Hu Yu seemed to have realized that if he didn't break through the encirclement of the Wei army tonight, it would be troublesome to wait until dawn tomorrow, but he didn't know that the reason why Zhao Kuo chose an hour to break through was according to the human biological clock, and an hour later was the night when human beings were most sleepy.
In the Wei army camp under the mountain, Song Wei, the main general of the Wei army, did not fall asleep, he did not feel happy because Zhao Kuo accidentally entered his encirclement, who Zhao Kuo was, he knew very well the reputation of the horse, he had also heard of it, so he was not surprised after hearing that Zhu Hai's 3,000 men and horses were defeated by Zhao Kuo's more than 200 horsemen, who was Zhu Hai? is just a bodyguard of Xinling Jun, at best, he is a fierce soldier leading troops to fight, it is purely a layman, and there is no reason to be undefeated.
"Do you want to send a scout up the mountain to find out one or two to find out Zhao Kuo's truth." Song Wei's doorman said.
Song Wei shook his head and said: "No need, the hill where Zhao Kuo is located is only a lonely mountain within a radius of ten miles, although our army cannot surround it, but the various intersections where Zhao Kuo wants to break through have been blocked by our army, and now what we have to do is to wait for Zhao Kuo to fly after dawn." ”
Song Wei is familiar with military books, and thinks that he is not the pig-headed Zhu Hai can compare, and he is also very cautious and cautious in the face of an opponent like Zhao Kuo, he is confident that as long as he fights steadily, it will be easy to annihilate Zhao Kuo's two hundred light horses.
The doorman felt that what Song Wei said was reasonable, and Zhao Kuo on the mountain didn't know the reality under the mountain, so he didn't dare to take the risk to break through, and he would wait for dawn, but as soon as the sky dawned, it was the time when Zhao Kuo died.
The night ** pitch black stretched out his fingers, Zhao Kuo opened the way in front of his head, and the two hundred cavalry behind him marched on foot, and the war horses had been processed to ensure that there would be no neighing, and even the horses' hooves were tightly wrapped, which was all done by Hu Yu.
When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, there were more than a dozen Wei soldiers blocking the necessary place, some of these Wei soldiers had fallen asleep, but they were all holding swords and weapons in their hands, and some were warming themselves around the bonfire, and were responsible for guarding.
Zhao Kuo took advantage of the bonfire of the Wei army to carefully look at the layout of the Wei army, and it can be seen from the camp situation of the Wei army that the main general is a person who is familiar with military books and proficient in the art of war, and is impeccable in the distribution of troops and the choice of location.
"Don't fight with the Wei army for a while, I'll distract the Wei army, and you will run north with people." Zhao Kuo commanded, and the Zhao army was armed one after another, bowed and wound, and the knife was unsheathed, waiting for Zhao Kuo's order.
Zhao Kuo took out the ** day bow from the back of the horse, only to see him even beads, and ** the dozen Wei soldiers didn't even scream and went to see the king of Hades, and the throat of the dead corpse was ** a long arrow.
With the ** out of Zhao Kuo's long arrow, 200 horses, the Zhao army slapped the horse hard, and suddenly rushed towards the mountain pass guarded by the Wei army, just when they were about to rush out of the mountain pass, the Wei army's camp heard the movement, and for a while, the horn sounded, and the war drums were like thunder.
In the dark, Zhao Kuo led the army and the Wei army to strangle together, because the Wei army did not expect that the Zhao army would break through tonight, poor preparation, coupled with Zhao Kuo's unstoppable bravery, the Zhao army quickly broke through the defense line of the Wei army, and remembered Zhao Kuo's orders, and did not entangle with the Wei army.
Zhao Kuo, who was in charge of covering, was like a tiger entering the hands of a flock, and the halberd was unfolded like an efficient winch machine, so that the Wei army, which had never tasted Zhao Kuo's power, was full of liver and gall, crying and fleeing in all directions.
Zhao Kuo created another miracle, 200 horsemen broke through the encirclement of the Wei army, and there were no casualties, but the war horses responsible for charging the battle suffered heavy losses.
"Hu Wei army was killed by us by a surprise, but its main general is quite difficult to deal with, he will definitely lead troops to pursue, we can't blindly run away, don't kill a horse gun ruthlessly, can't get rid of their ......." Zhao Kuo judged that the main general of the Wei army would not give up easily, so he whispered to Hu Yu.
After listening to Zhao Kuo's command, Hu Yu's eyes lit up and said: "If the Wei people dare to chase after them, they will die without a place to be buried." ”
Song Wei rushed to the front line first, and behind him were thousands of Wei soldiers, he was very anxious, if he let Zhao Kuo run away like this, what face would he have to go to see King Wei!
"Huh."
There was a sharp sound of breaking the air, a sharp sword seemed to fly from the sky, and it was aimed at Song Wei's throat, Song Wei was also considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, and he had a good sixth sense, so he quickly dodged and dodged, but he couldn't avoid the shoulder that was pierced by a sharp arrow elsewhere.
Song Wei didn't expect that the sword would penetrate the iron armor on his body, and he didn't expect that Zhao Kuo would not wait for him halfway after breaking through, although this arrow did not kill him, it made the Wei army temporarily lose its commander.
Zhao Kuo took the lead and rushed back, and behind him was Hu Xuan's two hundred light horsemen, Hu Yu and others, whose task was to bluff, shout and cheer for Zhao Kuo, and save ** feather arrows.
"Withdraw...... Evacuate ....... Song Wei was a little flustered at this time, the main general shouted like this, the Wei army, whose morale was originally not high, lost the will to fight, and was rushed by Zhao Kuo, and the formation was chaotic, and the men and horses trampled on each other, and there were countless casualties.
Hu Yu laughed and followed Zhao Kuo's son to fight, it was refreshing, a ** Zhao army soldiers also thought the same way, Zhao soldiers just wanted to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, but Zhao Kuo shouted and ordered the whole army to retreat immediately, Hu Yu and others remembered that their strength could not be compared with thousands of Wei troops at all, and if they didn't take advantage of this time to run, they would have no chance.
Zhao Kuo's army traveled more than ten miles to the north, and then changed its route to the east, and in one day's work, it actually went east for more than 100 miles, and entered the realm of boiling dates, as Zhao Zhen analyzed at the beginning, most of the north bank of Jishui is a plain, which is very conducive to cavalry penetration, and Zhao Kuo's army has a small target and fast flow, which gives Zhao Kuo a lot of room for maneuver, and he is no longer afraid of falling into the encirclement of the Wei army.
When it was almost dark, a huge village and town appeared in the horizon, and the faint lights flickered in the twilight, Zhao Jun had not eaten for nearly a day, and when he saw the villages and towns in the distance, he showed a wolf-like gaze.
Zhao Kuo led two hundred light cavalry to capture the villages and towns of a large scale without much effort, and used this place as a temporary camp to kill pigs, slaughter cattle and make fires, and the soldiers who were rich in incense drooled.
Zhao Kuo has a plate of five flowers in front of him**, he doesn't use chopsticks, reaches out and grabs a **, dips some condiments and sends them to his mouth.
"It is estimated that the Wei army is still ten miles away from us, and we have to fill our stomachs quickly." Zhao Kuo said, some oil and water flowed from the corner of his mouth, "This place is very close to boiling dates, and you have to be careful not to fall into the encirclement of the Wei army again." ”
Hu Yu chewed the pig ** in his mouth and said inarticulately: "Childe...... Where are you afraid of him...... No matter how many Wei people come...... It's not enough ...... for the son to stuff his teeth. ”
Zhao Kuo is not as optimistic as Hu Yu, although the intelligence is not good at this time, but from the situation of the Wei army encountered on the bank of the Jishui River, it can be judged that the King of Wei must have ordered to deal with him, in this case, he must not stay in the same place for too long, once he is entangled by the Wei army, he is afraid that he will be the only one who will be alive by then.
When Zhao Kuo was thinking about it, two Zhao soldiers escorted a somewhat obscene-looking man and walked in, reporting that this lewd man had come from Boiling Zao City and was very familiar with Boiling Zao City.
The lewd man had already been frightened of his legs and stomach, and he recruited everything without waiting for Zhao Kuo to ask, he was ordered by the rich man of Zaocheng to pick up the rich man's family here, and the purpose was to avoid Zhao Kuo's soldiers.
Zhao Kuo confirmed his thoughts from the lewd man's mouth, that is, he didn't know how much strength the Wei army mobilized to encircle and suppress him, he looked at the lewd man and ordered: "Tie him up, and use him to sacrifice the flag ...... tomorrow when the sun rises." ”
As soon as the lewd man heard the frightened feces and urine, he was escorted down by the soldiers of the Zhao army in the middle of the cry, and Zhao Kuo didn't have the heart to eat, so he greeted Hu Hu and said: "There is a good opportunity to mobilize the Wei army now, and for a while, you deliberately pretend to accidentally let go of that waste, let him go back to the boiled dates as soon as possible to report the news, hoping to transfer the defenders of the boiled dates away, as for this village and town, it will be burned." ”
Hu Yu nodded again and again: "Childe, are you going to attack the boiled dates?" That's the important town of Wei, and we, the two hundred or so, don't risk it......." "Although Hu Yu blindly worships Zhao Kuo, his brain is still boiling jujubes, and there are elite soldiers stationed on the high city wall, if they want to attack boiled jujubes, it is tantamount to ** egg touching a stone.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "It's not easy to capture boiled dates, if there are 5,000 elite soldiers, you can still try it, our two hundred people don't have to think about it, but we also have to scare the Wei people, imagine what their expressions would be if they unloaded their city gates?" ”
Hu Yu listened to Zhao Kuo's words and said excitedly: "If Gongzi unloads half of the city gate for boiling jujubes, he can definitely make the **** of King Wei angry and make Wei people lose face." ”
Everything was as Zhao Kuo expected, in addition to Song Wei's 5,000 Wei soldiers, there were also Wei troops in Zhuozao and Xiangqiu, adding up to nearly 20,000 people, with 20,000 people to encircle and suppress Zhao Kuo's 200 cavalry, King Wei can also be regarded as Zhao Kuo, of course, only half of the more than 20,000 people are Wei's regular army, and the rest are Hao clan generals organized from all over the country.
Besides, the lewd man escaped under Hu Xuan's arrangement, got a fast horse, galloped all the way to the city of boiled dates, and a few miles behind him, Zhao Kuo led two hundred horsemen to follow closely.
The owner of the lewd man is the richest man in boiling jujubes, and he has a lot of influence in the local area, and after listening to the report of the lewd man, he cried bitterly and asked people to prepare horses to go to the county order office of boiling jujube to ventilate and report the news.
The county order attaches great importance to this intelligence, and the county Cheng and Yushi also agree with the county order, and immediately go to arrest Zhao Kuo, which is a great credit, and the county order will also follow to get some benefits.
The reason why he was so generous was that the village and town were his hometown, and his old father and mother were all there to listen to the rewards of the lewd man, and they were all killed by the Zhao people, can he not have red eyes!
The county order is not blindly sent to the will of the King of Wei, two days ago, the three roads of the army will suppress Zhao Kuo, each of them is only fifty miles apart, once one side entangles Zhao Kuo, the three armies will urinate together, and Zhao Kuo's 200 or so people can be drowned.
"Childe has come out, it seems that he is going to the village and town where we came, there are about 2,000 people, it seems that there will not be too many defenders in the city to attack, and it is not too difficult to cook dates!" Hu Yu saw that more than 2,000 people had been killed in the city of boiled dates, and he couldn't help but have the idea of luck in his heart, and he actually wanted to capture the boiled dates.
Zhao Kuo poured cold water on Hu Yu and said, "Didn't you see it clearly!" Most of the more than 2,000 people are people without armor, they must be the generals of the wealthy families in the city, there are at least 1,000 elites in the city, plus tens of thousands of people, once they are entangled in the city of boiling dates, we will not see the sun tomorrow, you take someone to light all the torches that have been prepared, and see how I remove the city gate ...... of boiling dates. ”
