Chapter 600: Fuquan Boy Will Be Defeated
In the depths of the night, the army under the command of Fu Quan has been in Pingxiang County for three days, and in these days, in addition to the daily training in and outside Pingxiang County, that is, the slogan written by Fu Quan in the city every day is similar to "Destroy the rebels and subdue Liangzhou", as if they are afraid that the people inside and outside the city will not know that they are the elite soldiers under the command of the new Pingxi general Fu Quan.
According to the scouts inside and outside the city, there are always suspicious people inside and outside the city in the past few days, and the Han army is also according to Fuquan's requirements, just caught a few too obvious spies, in order to show that Pingxiang County is well defended, and did not make much preparations.
And today, the Han army in Pingxiang County suddenly imposed a curfew at night, and even like Pingxiang County, in the west of Hanyang County, several counties at the forefront of the Han army and the rebels have also received orders from Fuquan, and the curfew is implemented at night inside and outside the city.
Of course, ordinary people naturally can't understand it, and only the generals and strategists of the Han army who can understand the Han army's plans are those who formulate tactics.
Outside Pingxiang County, the Han army camp, at this moment, 15,000 soldiers, under the leadership of generals from all over the country, are quietly waiting for the front of the camp, they are familiar with the orders of General Pingxi.
Glancing at the sky, he felt that the time had come, and Fu Quan said to the generals around him: "Act according to the plan!" ”
"No!"
The generals of the Han army, led by his confidant Huang Zhong, saluted together, and then led their respective soldiers out of the camp in order according to the prior arrangement.
I saw that in the big camp, 10,000 cavalry came out of the big camp gate one after another. The horses under their crotches were wrapped in thick coarse cloth on their mouths and hooves, and when they went out, they did not carry torches, and they went to the southwest outside the camp completely by relying on the guides that the Han army had prepared long ago.
"Wenhe, is this feasible?" Fu Quan was still a little worried about letting the cavalry advance in the dark, after all, if the rebels knew their intentions, then he would inevitably be defeated in this battle.
"The success is in the people, the plan is in the sky, the enemy is outnumbered, we have done our best to do it now, if we can't break the thief, this providence is also not human." Jia Xu said lightly, in his words, it seemed that he had no responsibility for this risky move he proposed, and he pushed everything to God.
When Fu Quan saw it, he hated it so much that he really wanted to slap this guy twice now to relieve his fun. It's just that, obviously, even if he thinks so, he won't do it, besides, everything is just like Jia Xu said, in the current situation, it is very difficult to resist the offensive of the rebel army of nearly 100,000 horses. Now there is only risk, and Jia Xu's plan seems to be extremely dangerous, but it is not safe.
On the day they came to Pingxiang County, the scouts sent by the Han army to Jincheng County to investigate the ten waves finally came back with three waves, and at the same time brought Fuquan and the news that the Han soldiers were very reluctant to hear. The rebels not only have reinforcements from the Dongqiang tribe to join, but even the Xiqiang tribe on the border of Yizhou has also joined the rebels, and these Dongqiang and Xiqiang tribes, who were once disabled by the famous general Duan and even almost wiped out, after two or three generations of recuperation and recuperation, after recovering their strength, they once again opened their fangs and revealed their ambitions.
Today, the rebels are known as 100,000 troops, although the soldiers and horses may be exaggerated, but in the eyes of Fuquan and others, there must be 70,000 or 80,000 rebels, and these are not infantry, they are all horse-skilled cavalry, even if among them, there are strong and weak, and there are even many new soldiers, but in the tradition of Liangzhou people who are brave and good at fighting, the strength is definitely not weak.
And, judging from the territory owned by the rebels today, these 70,000 or so rebels are likely to have reached the equipment of one person and two horses, and their strength can be described as extremely terrifying.
70,000 people, each with two horses, this kind of mobility ability, for the Han army, which is now only half of the territory of Liangzhou, with few soldiers and horses, and most of them are foot soldiers, it is really a bit unbearable, although the rebels are not all elite, but the advantage in numbers, as well as the courage of the soldiers, can not be underestimated.
Of course, what makes the Han army feel most helpless is that today's rebels will not take the initiative to attack the Han army unless they are forced to do so.
Since Duan used spears, big shields, bows and crossbows, and auxiliary cavalry tactics to kill the Qiang people in the east and west to exterminate the clan, these Qiang cavalry who had already suffered losses, now when they are fighting against the Han army, most of them take the initiative to avoid the Han army, and would rather not fight a decisive battle than attack.
This directly made the Han army's invincible "rejection of horses" tactics against cavalry directly invalid, which was also the main reason why the Han army in Liangzhou was suppressed by the rebels when they suppressed the rebellion.
Originally, the Han army was less than the rebels, and the rebel cavalry was more, and now the main military formation tactics of the Han army were invalid, on the other hand, the rebels, relying on the advantage of cavalry, bypassed the main force of the Han army, plundered everywhere, and waited until the Han army showed the opportunity, and quickly gathered and encircled, and the Han army did not lose the entire Liangzhou, which was already very good.
To sum up, in the face of the Han army's disadvantage, when Jia Xu privately proposed a risky plan to him, Fu Quan immediately agreed to the plan, which is why the current Han army's actions are there, and whether it is deliberately letting the rebel scouts probe the Han army in Pingxiang County, or the curfew in various places, it is to prepare for the rapid transfer of the Han army.
As the last Han cavalry left the camp, Fu Quan said to Wu Yi beside him: "Ziyuan, after leaving alone, everything in Pingxiang is entrusted to Yuerye!" ”
"Pingxi rest assured, if Yi is there, the city will be there, and the thief army will not be allowed to win the city!" Wu Yi shouted loudly, his tone was very excited, after all, Fu Quan took the initiative to give him a performance, can he not be excited?
"Good! Walk! Fu Quan said with a smile, and then signaled to Jia Xu and the others who had not left beside him, and also left on horseback, and for a while, in the big camp, only those foot soldiers who were mainly barbarians were left, and they had not yet moved.
"I wish Pingxi a successful trip!"
After Fuquan took away the main generals, the soldiers and generals in the entire Pingxiang County would obey Wu Yi's dispatch, and Wu Yi was very excited when he thought of the last link of Fuquan's plan. For him, making meritorious contributions is completely different from what he said before, and he feels more and more that he has resigned from his official position in Yanzhou and followed the wisdom of Fuquan.
Thinking of the pity when he heard that Emperor Fu Song of Jizhou was on the orders of the imperial court to transfer the surrounding Han army, and originally replied to the Han army in Jizhou that had not yet returned to his hometown to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves, and hated that he did not stay in Yanzhou, otherwise he would not be able to accumulate some military merits, Wu Yi felt funny when he thought about it now.
Not to mention whether the imperial court will transfer him to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves, even if he is transferred, he will lead his troops to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves who are obviously not much harmful to the Han now, how many war exploits can he make? On the contrary, following Fuquan and getting to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou so quickly, to pacify the rebels who endangered the northwest frontier of the Han Dynasty, this is better than staying up in Yanzhou, isn't it?
couldn't help but feel complacent about his wisdom, and at the same time, in his heart, the heart that longed for great success in his career made him think about how to leave a deeper impression in Fuquan's heart.
After all, there are many famous generals under Fuquan's command, Wu Yi doesn't believe that his strength can be compared with those who followed Fuquan early, and if he doesn't want to be snubbed by Fuquan in the future, he must have an opportunity to appear in front of Fuquan from time to time to deepen his impression, and Wu Yi can't help but think of his sister, a famous beauty in his hometown.
Although he is only a teenager now, he is extremely pretty, and others will know at a glance that if he grows up for a few years, he will definitely be a beauty celebrating the National Day, anyway, his sister must be married, it is better to send a good backer, and send it to the Yangdu Hou Mansion, it is not a loss of his sister's identity.
Wang Qiao's matter of sending beauties in Bingzhou has long been spread in the army, and the little beauty Du Bai has always been quite popular with Fuquan, and Wang Qiao himself is also because of this, in all kinds of wars, he can get a good opportunity to perform, such as this time, Wang Qiao left Pingxiang County early, in Wu Yi's opinion, he must have received a secret order from Fuquan and went out to do errands, anyway, no matter what Wu Yi thinks, Wang Qiao has not lost money in sending women, but has made a lot of money, and he can't help but have such an impulse.
However, Wang Qiao also because of this, although he has made many meritorious contributions, he has always made others under Fuquan ashamed of him, of course, many people are actually faintly envious in their hearts, and they hate why they can't find Du Bai like this stunning and honor their boss.
It's done, and when the chaos is quelled, Lao Tzu will find a way to get his father to agree to this matter when he goes home, such a good sister doesn't take advantage of it, it's really a violent thing...... It's just that I don't know if I let my uncle know about this matter, whether he will stop it, then it will be difficult to do, and I have to find a way to settle it.
Seeing the figure of Fu Quan and the others riding horses getting farther and farther away, Wu Yi kept thinking in his heart, his uncle's name was Wu Kuang, and now he took refuge in the general He Jin, and judging from the current confrontation between the Fu clan and the He clan in the court, his uncle would obviously not agree to him sending his sister to Fu Quan's bed.
In that case, for Wu Kuang, he would definitely be estranged from him in He Jin's group because of the relationship between his niece and Fu Quan, so he would definitely stop this matter.
It's just that what if his uncle stops him, Wu Yi will inevitably do this, Wu Kuang can be loyal to He Jin, so why doesn't he Wu Yi die for Fuquan?
After the Han cavalry had walked for about an hour, Wu Yi said to the foot soldiers behind him: "All the troops obey the order, raise fire, and enter the city!" ”
Soon, with an order, five thousand Han soldiers were holding torches to deliberately lengthen the team, and the horses and mules prepared in advance were mixed with the transport livestock, and some foot soldiers drove the army slowly towards the city of Pingxiang County.
The horses and mules of the Han army had long been dressed, completely different from the transport teams, they were all equipped in the manner of combat teams, and in the dark of night, unless you looked carefully with the help of torches, it was impossible to see whether they were real cavalry, or deliberately disguised.
In the city gate opened, the army shouted slogans, slowly entered the city, for a time, attracted a lot of people on the streets of Pingxiang County, through the doors and windows, to watch the Han army.
However, because of the curfew, they could not go out to watch, and the torches of the Han army were not very dense, at best, they could only see the cavalry and infantry clearly, but it made these people think that it was the main force of the Han army.
When the Han army arrived at the military camp in Decheng, they put out their torches and rested on the spot under Wu Yi's order. Then after half an hour, after the people in Pingxiang County rested again, the Han army covered the legs, feet, mouth and nose of the horses and mules with coarse cloth, and then did not light torches, slowly went out of the city, and arrived at the Han army camp outside the city.
In this way, the 5,000-strong barbarian soldiers became the full strength of the 15,000-strong Han army, and they settled in the military camp in Pingxiang City in the dark night to guard the county seat.
This news, on the second day, was spread by the rebel scouts in Pingxiang County, and under the transmission of fast horses, they soon arrived at the camp of Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and other rebel generals who had now led the army to gather in Warrior County.
Syllable!
"The dog thief is in Liuchuan, and he wants to stop us in Pingxiang City, and he is delusional!" In the big tent of the rebel army, Beigong Boyu looked at the news passed by the scout, slapped his palm on the desk heavily, and gritted his teeth.
"Exactly! In my opinion, this Pingxiang should be abandoned! Li Wenhou echoed, his proposal is very simple, that is, to give up attacking Pingxiang, anyway, they attack Hanyang County and they can only take Pingxiang all the way, knowing that the elite of the Han army is waiting for them to attack in Pingxiang County, unless they are stupid, they will go to besiege Pingxiang County, even if they have a great advantage, but this kind of loss of troops is not a matter of getting too many benefits, so they will not do it.
"10,000 cavalry, 5,000 barbarians, all of them are the elite of the southern and northern wars of Fuliuchuan in the past, and this Pingxiang City is difficult to break! Fuquan Xiaoer's plan is also poisonous, and in the past, he often trapped the lonely city with weak soldiers, and when the strength of the siege army was exhausted, he would use strange tricks to break the enemy. Fortunately, the two generals are wise and have this secret, so Fuquan Xiaoer will be defeated. But is this news true? Bian Zhang on the side also responded, of course, he knew about the military affairs, or inquired about the authenticity of the news, after all, if it was a plan, it would be bad over there.
"Don't worry! In the past few days, the Fuquan thief has repeatedly arrested my scouts, and his act of blocking the news is self-evident, and the news must be true! ”
After hearing this, Bian Zhang touched his long beard and said: "If this is the case, Pingxiang cannot be attacked, it is better to turn to the west, break the road first, and then take Ji County directly." Ji County is the Hanyang County Administration, the second is the Liangzhou Thorn History Department, if it is broken, Hanyang will be chaotic, Liangzhou will be chaotic, when my army is full of energy, attack Sanfu, the world will be shocked, forgive Fuquan children have a strange plan, this time will die under our horses' hooves! ”
"Good! Command the army, eat well, and go west! ”
