Chapter 60: Fang Yue's plan
Xu Huang and Zhang Ren hurriedly looked back at Zhou Cang.
"This time, the two of you need to be cautious, discuss with each other in case of trouble, although there are many Huns, but they don't know the art of war, it is not difficult to defeat, you only need to remember a little......" Zhou Cang is also quite relieved about the military talents of the two, although Zhang Ren is a little young and vigorous at the moment, but there is a mature and experienced Xu Huang by his side, and there will be no big mess.
"Lord, please rest assured, we will definitely think twice before ......acting," Xu Huang said to Zhou Cang with a fist hugging his fist.
"Gongming, you misunderstood what I meant, I mean to ask the two of you to be careful, lest someone release a cold arrow, you two are my right-hand men, breaking any one of them is equivalent to killing me......" Zhou Cang walked up to the two of them, patted them on the shoulder, and burst into tears.
"The lord is very loving, and it will be difficult for me to repay even if I die......" Xu Huang and Zhang Ren were moved by Zhou Cang's slightly jerky 'acting' and bowed their heads.
"Live well, many wars will depend on you in the future, don't say anything like death!" Zhou Cang pretended to be unhappy and helped the two of them up.
"Yes, my lord."
The eyes of the two of them were slightly ruddy, and they all had a feeling of meeting the master.
"Go and prepare!"
The two of them hugged Zhou Cang, and as soon as they walked to the door of the big tent, they were stopped by Zhou Cang.
"This time, the two of you led the army to defeat the Huns, remember that there was no one left behind all the men of the Huns. After resolving the siege of Shangdang, I will lead the army from the west of the river to the north, and go straight to Shuofang through Shangjun, and we will meet in Shuofang. ”
"None of the men leave ......"
"Leave no ...... behind"
Zhou Cang's tone was cold, and he said to the two of them with a straight face.
"Yes, my lord." Xu Huang and Zhang Ren first shook their heads when they heard this, glanced at each other, and responded with their fists together.
Shuofang, the place where the Huns lived, the water and grass here are abundant, suitable for grazing cattle, sheep and horses, and it is also the place where the Xiongnu must fight for this Zhoucang crusade.
That night, Xu Huang and Zhang Ren led an army of 20,000 to the north at night.
……
"General Fang, as the general said, the Hun army is rebelling against the buried pot, and it seems that they are preparing to attack the city again at night." Li Ergou stood on the city tower and saw the curling smoke in the Hun army camp clearly, and said to Fang Yue who was standing beside him.
"Well, watch carefully, and if there is any change, immediately beat the drum and report it to the big tent." Fang Yue looked at the Hun army camp not far away, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart, his face was cloudy, and he turned around and went down the city tower.
"Pei Duwei led 5,000 cavalry out of the north gate tonight, detoured to the rear of the Xiongnu camp, and when the whole Xiongnu army attacked the city two days later, he would kill from the rear, and the Xiongnu would be defeated at that time." When he returned to the temporary camp, Fang Yue summoned Pei Yuanshao, Xue Baihu, Xue Wenshan, Cui Yan and others to come to discuss.
"General Fang, if I take away the five thousand cavalry, won't there only be 10,000 soldiers left in the city......" Although Pei Yuanshao is a rough man, he still knows more or less about military affairs.
"Pei Duwei, don't worry, there are still 5,000 servants sent by the Zhang and Li families in the city, it is expected that the Huns will continue to attack the east gate tonight, the east gate is open and easy to arrange troops, and the remaining three gates, the terrain is narrow, which is not conducive to the concentration of the whole army to attack the city, a certain plan to let these 5,000 people guard the remaining three gates respectively, and lead the whole army to defend the east gate......" Fang Yue told everyone his plan.
"General Fang, wouldn't this be a bit risky?" Xue Wenshan said with a frown.
"Mr. Wenshan don't have to worry, the lord will be willing to return to the party in two days at most, we must hit the Hun army hard before the lord returns, and after the lord's army arrives, the Hun army will be attacked on three sides and captured by Fuluo." Fang Yue said confidently, as if he was about to win.
"Since General Fang is sure, then we won't say anything more, everything is up to General Fang's arrangement." Xue Wenshan was not good at military affairs, and seeing that Fang Yue was so confident, he could only believe that Fang Yue could fight this battle.
"Captain Pei, please lead the troops to leave as soon as possible, be careful, don't be discovered!" Fang Yue admonished again.
"General Fang, don't worry." Pei Yuanshao clasped his fists at Fang Yue and the others, turned around and left the tent, and acted according to the plan.
"Xue Duwei, you, I and Captain Li (Li Ergou) tonight, the three of them take turns to defend the city, be sure to ensure that the city is not lost, Mr. Wenshan and Mr. Ji Jue ask you to lead two thousand ......" Before Fang Yue finished speaking, a man dressed in gauze and carrying a steel gun came in.
This person is Li Tong Li Wenda, who has just woken up from a coma, and he has come to the camp to ask to join the war.
"Wenda, why are you here, quickly help Captain Li go back and have a good rest."
When Fang Yue saw Li Tong enter the camp tent, he immediately ordered someone to help Li Tong go back to recuperate from his injuries.
"General Fang, my injuries are nothing serious, please allow me to participate in the battle and atone for my crimes......" Li Tong was ruthless because of the loss of Hedong, thinking that he was not capable enough to make Hedong County lost, causing the people of Hedong to die in vain, and always felt sorry for Zhou Cang's trust, and even more sorry for the people of Hedong.
The best way to follow this tone is to defeat this group of Hun troops and personally cut off Yu Fuluo's head to atone for his crimes.
"Hey...... Lieutenant Li, please get up, so you can lead 2,000 men and horses to patrol the city, and where there is danger, you will lead the troops to rescue! Fang Yue saw that Li Tong had already said this, if he refused Li Tong to join the war again, it was estimated that something would happen again.
"Fang ......" Li Tong also wanted to say to Fang Yue that he would fight with the Huns head-on, but Cui Yan pulled his sleeve.
"Captain Li, the loss of Hedong is not your fault, besides, Captain Du took the lead in killing countless Hun troops to save us and flee back to Shangdang......" Cui Yan also understood Li Tong's mood at the moment, the general of the defeated army is unspeakably brave, and Li Tong is still injured, so he can't be reckless.
"Report ...... The Huns began to attack the city......"
"Everyone acts according to the plan, this time we must inflict heavy damage on the Hun army!" As he spoke, Fang Yue and Xue Baihu walked towards the East Gate Tower.
"Started ......"
……
"Sons and daughters kill ...... with me"
"Kill......"
"Rush, ......"
The east, south, west, and north gates shouted and killed, and it was not clear where the main and secondary were the main ones, giving people the feeling that they were the main attack on all sides.
"General Fang......"
"Don't panic, Captain Xue, this is a deliberate attempt by the enemy to divide our troops......
Fang Yue held a spear in his hand with an expected expression.
"Report ...... There are thieves at the north gate attacking the city, asking for reinforcements! ”
With just a cup of tea, the Huns took the lead in attacking the city tower at the north gate.
"General Fang wants to send reinforcements?"
When Xue Baihu heard that the north gate had attacked the city tower, he was immediately anxious.
"No need, the other three gates Li Duwei will go to reinforce, we only need to guard the east gate, the battle is about to begin!"
"Report ...... South Gate Urgent ......"
"Report ...... Ximen Urgent ......"
Urgent reports for help came from the west gate and the south gate.
"General Fang......" Xue Baihu is like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, turning around.
"Report ......"
Another urgent report came.
Xue Baihu's heart immediately rose to his throat, could it be that the Hun army had already entered through the other three slope gates?
