Chapter 163: Luring the Enemy

With the order of Guo's division, the generals went back to gather their troops, and after a while, they left the camp to line up, lit torches, and outflanked them in three directions according to the previous arrangement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, in order not to be taken advantage of by the enemy, the distance between the three armies is not far, even if the enemy forces surprise one of them, the other two can quickly rush over to support, and the three ways of attacking together will definitely defeat the enemy army.

Su Zhihe is a local tyrant in Xuanzhou, when Tian Yan recruited troops on a large scale, Su Zhihe led hundreds of villagers to join Tian Yan's army, and was appointed as a battalion commander. Of course, the reason why he was promoted so quickly was because he had an old relationship with Guo Shifu, and as a close confidant of Guo Shifu, he was promoted rapidly.

Therefore, the idea of Guo Shi to make meritorious service is very urgent, and Su Zhihe's is not small, at this time, he is full of merit to eliminate his defeat of the enemy, where can he still take care of acting cautiously.

"Hurry up, don't let the enemy run away!"

His 1,500 men were on the southern route, and in order to prevent the enemy from escaping before they could complete the siege, he could not help but order the soldiers to go faster.

"General, if the speed of the march continues to increase, the formation will be chaotic, and the enemy surprise attack will be over!" Su Zhihe's subordinate battalion commander couldn't help but remind.

"You can rest assured that our army has 1,500 men, which is more than the enemy's army. Moreover, the other two forces were not far from us, and if the enemy dared to come, we would only have to hold back for a moment. But if we take a step slower and let the enemy escape from the encirclement in advance, then our army's actions tonight will be in vain. Su Zhihe said disappreciatively.

"That's better than being attacked by enemy troops, right?"

"Well, no more. The enemy must have tried to use this method of frequent harassment to keep our troops from resting, and they would not attack until our troops were completely exhausted. Our soldiers have long been exhausted in the past three days, and if the enemy is allowed to flee tonight, and if we continue to harass like this, our army will collapse sooner or later! Su Zhihe said in a deep voice.

The general had no choice but to go down to convey the order and ask the soldiers to speed up.

In the darkness of the night, a dozen knights were staring at the rapidly marching infantry.

"Shizi, seeing that the enemy army thinks that our camp is in the east, and is ready to quickly attack and surround our army, fortunately, Shizi is cautious, every time the people who go to attack and disturb are entering from the east and withdrawing from the east, it really misleads the enemy army." Hou Zan said with a smile, "But the enemy's courage is really great, and he actually dares to go out of the camp at night to find our army for a decisive battle, I don't know whether to say that Guo Shi is stupid and bold or ignorant?" ”

This cavalry is naturally Yang Wu and them, but unlike Su Zhihe's speculation, Yang Wu's cavalry has actually been on the west side of the Wuhu military camp all along. When the hundreds of cavalry who attacked the camp tonight withdrew, the scouts hidden in the shadows came back and reported that the enemy army had gone out of the camp to pursue, which surprised Yang Wu and others.

At first, Yang Wu planned to wait until the enemy army was completely exhausted before looking for an opportunity to attack, but he didn't expect Guo Shicong to dare to go out of the camp at night to find and surround them, and more importantly, Guo Shicong actually chose to divide his troops into three ways, so that Yang Wu immediately felt that the fighter had arrived, and even led the cavalry to come.

At this time, seeing that Su Zhihe was still urging the soldiers to speed up, Yang Wu couldn't help but cry and laugh.

"Where did this general come from, he doesn't have the talent to lead troops to fight at all, no matter how mediocre Guo Shi's talent is, he won't be so stupid, right?"

There is a lack of cavalry in the south, so the generals of various forces lack experience in fighting cavalry, but as long as the generals who have led troops in the army for many years, they should have at least heard that infantry needs to rely on the help of formation against cavalry.

The general in front of him who ordered the soldiers to further accelerate the march looked like a general who had just entered the barracks, and he had too little experience, so I really don't know how Tian Yan could appoint this kind of person as a general, could it be that he was promoted by connections like Guo Shicong?

Either way, the more clumsy the enemy generals, the better their chances.

At this time, the scouts who had gone to the other two lines to reconnoiter also returned, and reported the situation of the enemy forces on the other two routes.

The other two enemy forces were obviously more cautious, and although they marched at night, they also tried to maintain their formation as much as possible so as not to give the enemy a chance to surprise attack.

"Shizi, it seems that the other two enemy forces are not moving, let's attack the enemy army in front of us first!" After listening to the report on the enemy's situation, Hou Zan suggested.

After all the great battles, their cavalry is now only more than 900 people, and the more than 100 people who were sent out to attack the enemy camp are now being pursued by the enemy on three sides, but the other 800 cavalry are outside the enemy's encirclement network and can attack at any time.

"No, let's attack the enemy army to the north first!" Yang Wu shook his head and vetoed.

"Attack the north road first?" Hou Zan couldn't help but be stunned, obviously a little unsure of Yang Wu's plan.

"Yes, although the enemy army in front of us has accelerated its march, its vigilance has not relaxed, and their marching speed at this time is not fast enough, and the formation is not chaotic enough."

"Therefore, Ben will let two hundred cavalry attack the enemy army in the north, and make sure to make the scene bigger, so that the other two people know that the north road is being attacked, so that the other two enemy troops will quickly rush over to the rescue, and their vigilance will be relaxed at this time, and the formation will be more chaotic. That's when we take the opportunity to attack! Yang Wu replied with a smile.

……

A quarter of an hour later, the enemy troops on the march to the north suddenly felt the ground shake, and then the war drums sounded, and in the darkness I don't know how many cavalry were rushing towards them. The men were in a panic and panic, while the officers were scrambling and screaming hoarsely, trying to silence the soldiers.

"The enemy is coming, quickly launch rockets, and notify General Guo and General Su to come to the rescue." The generals of the Wuhu Army on this road were not slow to react, and immediately issued an order for help.

A rocket was launched, cutting through the dark night, causing the other two Wuhu armies to look up several miles away.

Then, under the orders of the officers, the soldiers who had finally stabilized lined up to prepare for the surprise attack of the enemy army. After a while, the vibration was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers who were close were a little breathless.

"Fifty steps, archers fire!" As the officer commanded, the soldiers drew their bows and arrows and shot into the darkness.

However, the enemy cavalry in the darkness continued to hide in the night, only constantly creating movement around, firing some cold arrows from time to time, but never rushed up to engage them.

On the other two roads, Guo Shicong and Su Zhihe also immediately learned the news of the attack on the north after seeing the rocket, and immediately ordered to rush over for reinforcements.

With their move, the fighter plane that Yang Wu had been waiting for also appeared.

"General Hou, attack immediately, don't give the enemy any respite!"
