Chapter 202: Tricks to lure the barbarians and ambush them
All the way north, the barbarians still intermittently sent small forces to constantly harass the Han army, making the Han army very inconvenient. Fu Quan became more and more sure that these barbarians were only here to find out the news, probe the truth of the Han army, and delay the march of the Han army.
If the Han army marched, a small group of barbarians would keep harassing, and if the Han army sent people to meet them, they would flee, and they could not expel them if they wanted to, and they would be like kraft candy pestering the Han army, which was really difficult.
Having once again dispersed the barbarian army that had come to harass him, Fu Quan saw that the sky was already at sunset, and after observing the surrounding terrain, he ordered the army to camp in an open place in the northeast.
At night, the moon and stars are scarce, and in the tent of the Han army camp, Fu Quan holds a copy of "Zuo Biography" and reads it carefully. Fan Zhongyan once gave Di Qing the book "Zuo Biography" in later generations, and warned Di Qing of this sentence, Fuquan has been very much in agreement with before crossing, he believes that the difference between a good general and a fierce general is this.
In other words, in addition to the innate superiority of an excellent general, it is his understanding and perception of war, and in addition to absorbing experience and education in war after war, and slowly growing up, understanding and perception is to draw knowledge from books, and the war experience compiled by predecessors is extremely valuable, and there must be a natural famous general, but without acquired learning, it will only waste his talent.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and then I saw Wang Mou coming from outside, and after saluting, I heard him say: "There must be deception when the barbarians attack like this, and Zhonglang should be on guard." ”
Fu Quan was stunned for a moment, put down "Zuo Chuan" and said with a smile: "Yuantai is too worried, many barbarians are rude and brave men, now I have more than 20,000 troops gathered, the elite soldiers of their generation have not arrived, and the barbarian army has few soldiers, what are you afraid of?" ”
After hearing this, Wang Mou hurriedly replied: "Zhonglang must not underestimate the enemy, Shu is mountainous, and the barbarians have grown up between the mountains and forests since childhood, and the trails through the mountains and forests are like walking on the ground. If one of them does not take the main road, but walks from the mountain path, avoiding the eyes and ears of our army, dare to ask Zhonglang, how do you know that the enemy army has not arrived? ”
"This ......" Fu Quan frowned, Wang Mou's words really reminded him that if these barbarians were not delaying themselves, but to supervise themselves, waiting for their troops to show their feet, and then suddenly attack, it was not impossible.
For a moment, Fu Quan only felt that cold sweat was breaking out on his back, and an uneasy aura surged into his heart. Straightened his attitude, hurriedly got up and saluted Wang Mou, and then asked: "Quan didn't notice it for a while, and almost made a big mistake, please ask Mr. for advice." ”
"Zhonglang and listen to the plan, there is a strategy, you can know what the barbarians want. Tomorrow Zhonglang should be like this, our army will lure him with fatigue, if the barbarians really have a plan, then so ......"
After the two finished talking, Fu Quan immediately summoned his own soldiers outside the tent and ordered him to order the generals to assemble. In the depths of the night, there was a sudden commotion in the Han army camp, and the generals of all departments were urgently summoned to the Chinese army's tent, and then everyone discussed for a long time in the Chinese army's tent in Fuquan, and a military meeting ended.
In the early morning of the next day, in the Han army camp, the loud horn sounded all over the barracks, and a group of Han soldiers continued to march under the leadership of Sima of each department.
The army marched at the fastest speed of the army, and Fu Quan ordered the army to ignore the small group of barbarians who invaded along the way, as long as it was not a close combat. After marching for nearly a hundred miles, the soldiers in the army complained bitterly, scolding and walking, waiting to set up camp, it was already dark, the soldiers were already exhausted, one by one the armor was unloaded, the weapons were thrown aside, lying on the baggage and panting, and some officers kicked with their feet, but they were also lazy and did not move.
Looking at Langzhong, which was getting closer and closer to the northeast, Fuquan turned around to look at the silent mountains and forests around him, with a sneer in his eyes and a lot of thought in his heart.
This night, the Han army camp was different from the noisy in the past, the exhausted soldiers no longer had the leisure to play, and returned to the camp to rest, even the soldiers who were sent to patrol everywhere were tired and had no energy at all. All this in the Han army camp was seen by countless pairs of eyes outside the camp in the dark night.
In the middle of the night, the lights in the camp were silent, the snoring in the Han army camp shook the sky, and the lazy patrol soldiers could not see the figures, and the whole camp looked like a relaxed guard.
Outside the camp, countless figures suddenly appeared in the dark night, and a barbarian army had quietly taken advantage of the night to touch it. When they reached the land of a stone's throw, the leader of the barbarians looked at the silent camp, waved his hand, and shouted: "Kill! Kill all the Han people! ”
In an instant, the black tide surged, and countless barbarians rushed to the front of the camp and shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill! "Killing ......" It was only when they rushed into the camp and set fire to it, intending to start killing, that they suddenly realized that something was wrong, why was the Han camp so quiet? Even if they all slept to death like a pig's head, so many of them were killed, and the movement was so big, the Han people should at least have a reaction?
"Gong Shibo, the Han people are cunning, are they tricked?" Luo Zhan hurriedly ran to a middle-aged elder and said that he was defeated and fled by Fuquan the previous time, so he led the remnants of the army to the north to Jiameng to prepare to join the barbarians there, and also plundered some places in Zitong on the way.
This time he heard that Fuquan was going to lead people to attack Langzhong, thinking of his relatives and relatives in Langzhong, Luo Zhan was very anxious, so he quickly led people back to Langzhong, and met Gong Su who also led troops back to Langzhong on the way, so he and Gong Su walked all the way back to Langzhong, this night attack on the Han camp was only halfway They saw that the Han people seemed to underestimate the barbarians, so they planned to take advantage of their unpreparedness and rob their camp.
Gong Su looked around, suddenly shocked, a sense of danger from the bottom of his heart, that is he in the mountains and forests fighting with wild beasts to feel, and then said to Luo Zhan beside him: "Things are abnormal......" He just wanted to shout "withdraw", then he heard a drum around him, horns continued, and countless torches suddenly lit up around the Han army camp, and then countless arrows and crossbows fell towards the barbarian army.
Suddenly, countless barbarians in the camp screamed again and again, dead and wounded, most of them had no armor and body, and they were densely crowded in the Han army camp, and at this moment they completely became live targets, they didn't need to aim at all, and countless arrows in the dark night quickly took their lives.
Looking at the warriors around him falling to the ground one by one, Gong Su's eyes were split, and he waved the tiger-striped spear indiscriminately, shouting while blocking the arrows: "The Han people are insidious, you can't do anything, don't fall in love with the war, withdraw!" ”
As soon as the words fell, countless barbarian warriors immediately turned around and fled, rushing towards the camp gate, and in front of them, Guan Yu and Huang Zhongzheng were waiting with the four thousand elite soldiers of the Fuquan Chinese Army, and they would be the most important part of this ambush.
Zhong Yan tried to confer the public with "Zuo's Chundi", saying: "Those who are generals must not know the book, and the courage of the husband is not enough." "Gong is so since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, as for the Qin and Han dynasties, the traces of success and failure can be passed.
