Chapter 384: Bang Bang
The dispute over food in the rebel camp continued, and it was likely to intensify, and when Huang Sui arrived, even if he repeatedly reprimanded, it was difficult to stop his soldiers from fighting. And this matter also became more and more intense with the escalation of the smell of gunpowder between the pushing and shoving of countless soldiers, spreading from a few troops to the entire camp of the rebels, and finally causing collective infighting in the camp of the rebels.
In a bush in the far side of the rebel camp, with the tall weeds fluttering, two young men wearing ordinary people's clothes came out of it, and the two of them stared coldly at everything that happened in the rebel camp.
Of course, although they are dressed very much like real people, the short blades they are carrying in their arms reveal that their identities are not ordinary, and the fierce battle of the rebel siege has just passed, and the surrounding area of Shu County has long been emptied by Huang Sui, how can there be other people staying here, are they waiting for death?
That's right, these two people are naturally not ordinary people, but Han army scouts sent by Fuquan to sneak out of the city to find out the movements of the rebels outside the city. When the two Han scouts found out about the infighting between the rebel camps because of food shortages, they naturally did not delay any longer and hurriedly returned to the city.
At the same time, around the rebel camp, there were several hidden places, and several Han "people" also appeared, they were naturally not real people, but like the two Han scouts, they were also sent by Fuquan to observe the enemy situation of the rebels outside the city.
In the city of Lujiang County, Yangzhou, in Shu County, after several Han army scouts who were sent out of the city quietly returned to the city through the hanging baskets on the city, the rebels moved because of lack of food, and the information of the big fight finally reached the ears of Fu Quan, the supreme principal in Shu County.
In the lobby of the county office, under the order of Fu Quan, the Han army and military forces in Shu County soon gathered together, of course, the main speakers of this meeting were Fu Quan, Lu Jun and the Han army generals under Fu Quan.
As for the civil and military forces in Shu County, they can be ignored, and the civilian officials don't need to say that this is a military meeting, and they only need to arrange the materials needed by the army, and other matters have nothing to do with them. After all, after a series of bloody battles to defend the city, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers in Shuxian who can go out of the city to fight in the field, and they have just rested for a day, and their combat strength has not recovered much.
"The scout came to report, the Yellow Thief rebels should have no food, at this moment tens of thousands of rebels are fighting in the thief camp, there is a great opportunity to mutiny, this is a once-in-a-lifetime extreme, if you want to lead the army to attack it, do you have any objections?" Fu Quan opened his mouth and went straight to the point, the main people in today's meeting are military generals, for these battlefield veterans, compared to talking around the corner, it is obvious that they prefer direct answers.
After the words were spoken, all the generals under the command of Fuquan saluted and shouted loudly: "The last general has no objection, please give an order." The voice was loud, indicating their resoluteness, think about it, they came here to quell the chaos, but they were all for their military exploits, especially Guan Yu, Yan Yan and others, who had the opportunity to take the head of the thief Huang Sui before, but they were ordered to retreat because they were afraid of accidents, and there was naturally an unwilling flame in their hearts.
"Good!" Fu Quan shouted, and then said: "Lingba County can be a soldier to assemble at the north gate, make food at night on the third watch, go out of the city on the fifth watch, and break the thief." ”
"No!"
The generals of Ba County bowed in unison, and then left after a few more admonitions from Fuquan, and each gathered the soldiers and horses of their headquarters who could still go out of the city to fight. Of course, Fuquan's move naturally caused complaints from the Lujiang soldiers, who thought that he was partial to his subordinates and did not allow them to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Of course, Fu Quan didn't pay attention to this, after all, it is an indisputable fact that the soldiers of Lujiang County are tired and their combat strength has not recovered, and those generals will naturally not care about whether their soldiers have the strength to fight again in order to make meritorious contributions, but Fu Quan can't do this. After all, the next night raid is not child's play, if there is an accident because of the fatigue of his own soldiers, then this is really more than worth the loss for Fu Quan.
Generally speaking, this kind of person basically has a plan in his heart, but he will not give direct advice, but report to the official in private to win trust and favor. Obviously, since the burning of the rebels' grain and grass, Qin Chuan, who has been left by Fuquan's side, and has not been promoted too much, is this kind of person, he went out of the official office with other civil and military forces in the lobby, and then found an excuse to turn back again, at this time, he just wanted to win the opportunity to get the position in front of Fuquan alone, after all, with the greater power of Fuquan, everyone wants to be on the throne unless the talent is really excellent, then only by leaving a good impression on Fuquan can he get more opportunities.
Qin Chuan went and returned, which naturally made Fu Quan puzzled, he originally planned to sleep in the guest house first, so as to recuperate enough energy and wait for the night attack at dawn tomorrow, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by this guy, but Qin Chuan's proposed plan to disturb the enemy made Fu Quan feel a little interesting.
"With a small team of soldiers, beating gongs and drums to disturb the enemy, and deceitfully breaking the village?" After listening to Qin Chuan's strategy, Fu Quan thought about the feasibility of this matter, because he always felt that such and such a move might startle the snake.
"Exactly, now that the enemy has no food, and the second is that the camp is not strong, it is an excellent time to attack and break through, but our army is in a big move, out of the city, and it is difficult to escape the rebel scouts and reconnaissance. If the news is lost, the enemy is prepared, and there is a risk of defeat, so I hope that the prince and the prince will act prudently. ”
"This is reasonable, now the yellow thieves have no food, than worry about the movement of our army, if you don't make a plan, I am afraid that our army will go out of the city, it will be detected by the rebels, the enemy is big, if you prepare early, it will be difficult to attack." Fu Quan nodded and agreed, Qin Chuan thought about it well, his original plan was really a little simple, he simply wanted to take advantage of the rebels' internal strife to attack the thief camp at night, but he forgot that he wanted to attack at night, the most important thing is an "attack", the tightness of the news cannot be guaranteed, then the night attack may become an encounter or even an ambush battle.
The reason why I say this is because since the original camp was burned, the address of the camp changed by Huang Sui was much farther away from Shu County than the original camp, which was fifty miles, probably in case the Han army attacked the camp when he built the village, so it was built very far, which also led to the fact that if the Han army wanted to attack out of the city, it would not arrive for a while and a half, and there would be many accidents on the road.
In addition, Huang Sui must have guessed that the Han army would find out the information inside his military camp, and it is likely that he also guessed that he wanted to cover up the news that the rebels had no food could not be concealed, and would be detected by the rebels. In this way, for Huang Sui, if he wants to ensure the safety of his camp, he must pay close attention to the movements of the Han army in Shuxian County, because he understands that in the current situation where the rebels have no fighting spirit and the camp is not strong, if they are attacked by the Han army at night, the consequences will be very terrible.
Therefore, if Huang Sui Danfan has a little ability, he will definitely arrange his henchmen to monitor around Shuxian County, once there is any disturbance of the Han army in the city, he can find out as soon as possible, and if he has taken precautions in advance and sets up an ambush, then it will be tantamount to a disaster for the Han army, because even if the number of rebels has been repeatedly attritional, it is still dozens of times that of the Han army. Unless the rebels are pigs with no fighting spirit and are slaughtered by the Han army, as long as the Han army falls into the rebels' crowd tactics, then the result of the Han army's sneak attack is obvious, and it is only constantly consumed by the rebels' numerical superiority.
Therefore, the strategy proposed by Qin Chuan to disturb the enemy in advance is very useful, after all, as long as the attention of the rebels is weakened, so that they will not be more guarded against because of the Han army's dispatch, then this battle will be very sure for the Han army.
The night gradually became dark, and when the darkness covered the city of Shuxian County, only the lights of the city were left lit up in pitch black, and at this time it was already the majority
There seemed to be silence in the depths of the night, but no one knew how many secrets were hidden in the darkness.
Outside the north gate of Shu County, more than 2,000 soldiers from Ba County gathered here, at this moment they held their blades in their hands that followed life and death on the battlefield, and the north gate of the eyes did not have any timid thoughts, but there was a look of excitement on their faces that was difficult to hide, perhaps for soldiers, only war, only military merits can stimulate the terrifying strength and morale inside their bodies.
Outside the city gate, Fu Quan, who was dressed in military uniform, nodded to Lu Jun beside him, and soon, under the order of the eldest son of the Lujiang Taishou, a team of hundreds of Han troops went out of the north gate and made a posture of marching south. It's just that, obviously, what is puzzling is that in addition to being strong and stubborn, these Han soldiers also carry gongs and drums on their bodies, and they look like soldiers playing music.
Let's talk about this group of soldiers, they are different from the battle-hardened Bajun soldiers led by Fu Quan, the Ba County soldiers often fight with Fu Quan, and they are obviously very familiar with and adapt to the war. And this pair of soldiers, but the face is very haggard, the march and walk is also slowly, from time to time someone yawns, obviously very tired, they are actually the original Lujiang County soldiers, just rested for a day, was still in sleep was woken up, out of the city to carry out the task.
When these hundreds of people left the city gate, several figures quickly rushed to the rebel camp outside the north gate of Shu County, and a few others hid their tracks, following this group of suspicious Han soldiers. It's just that what makes them feel strange is that after this group of Han soldiers left the city, they went all the way south to the rebel camp, until they were almost twenty miles outside the camp, but they suddenly stopped, and this place was almost within the range of the rebel patrol soldiers.
Then I saw these Han soldiers, holding gongs and drums, scattering in all directions, and then before those rebel scouts had other ideas, suddenly there was a dense sound of gongs and drums all around. I could only hear the sound of "bang, bang, dang, dang" like a storm, suddenly sounded, spreading all over a radius of dozens of miles, and the continuous deafening sound made the ears of the rebel scouts who were watching tingle, but fortunately the sound only lasted for a few quarters of an hour, otherwise it was estimated that their eardrums would be completely broken.
At the same time, the rebel camp also completely exploded because of the noise of gongs and drums, and countless soldiers were scattered in their clothes, holding swords, out of the camp tent, concentrating on the surroundings, and they all thought that the Han army was coming to attack the camp, and they were all nervous.
However, in the silent night, there was not a single figure, only the screams of understanding, which made the rebels curse, and they naturally understood that this was a prank by someone with a heart, so as not to let them sleep well. As for who this caring person is, do you need to say? Naturally, it was the Han army in Shu County, and only they would do this kind of thing.
In the big tent of the rebel army, the voice outside the camp also alarmed Huang Sui, and the scouts reported to him that after hundreds of Han troops in Shuxian County left the city, Huang Sui has been waiting for news. Secretly, he also privately ordered his henchmen to prepare for the various units of the "Sui Army", quietly went out of the camp, hidden, and if the Han army had other movements, then they would carry out a counterattack.
As for the other rebels in the camp, Huang Sui did not notify him, in the camp during the day, the large-scale mutiny that was almost triggered by the soldiers had already made him fed up, those rebels who were not his henchmen, now in the embarrassment of the army, only care about grabbing food, not listening to orders at all, Huang Sui will take care of them to have ghosts.
Now Huang Sui even directly intends to use these disobedient soldiers as bait to attract the Han army to attack, anyway, Huang Sui now has not enough food, naturally in addition to ensuring that the loyal "Wan Army" will not be lost, the other soldiers have become his cannon fodder, Huang Sui now very much hopes that the more the miscellaneous soldiers and the Han army under his command consume as much as possible, so that they can rely on their henchmen "Sui Army" to attack the Shuxian county seat that is inferior to him.
If this is the case, Huang Sui does not need to prepare to pull out the camp in these two days, after all, the food of the army can not last for a few days, and today there is infighting in the barracks, so many soldiers and their families secretly fled, and it was only after they were found that they had beheaded many people to stop this trend. But even so, Huang Sui also knew that if there was no food, the soldiers in his army would flee more, which was inevitable.
It's just obvious that the Han army suddenly broke Huang Sui's illusion with a noisy gong and drum, and they didn't attack the camp at all, but harassed the enemy, which made Huang Sui quite worried. Because of the Han army, his soldiers could not get a reasonable rest, and they were impatient because of lack of food and starvation, and if this continued, it would invisibly hit his morale even more.
The rebel camp soon quieted down again because there was no enemy, after all, the rebels were actually the same as the Lujiang soldiers in the city, and they were very tired from repeated attacks, since there was no military situation, they naturally had to continue to sleep and replenish their energy. However, just after they fell asleep again, a sound of "bang, bang, dang, dang" came from outside the camp and pulled them back from their dreams again......
