Chapter 37: Shoot and Run.
Night fell. Several groups of sentinels have been sent in Changsha City to look for Zhuge Song, which makes Zhuge Song, who has been hiding in the mountains and forests and has been climbing high to look at Changsha City, somewhat apologetic.
At that time, Zhuge Song, who took Zheng Liang to the military camp with the strength of wine, actually forgot to leave a note for Ma Liang that he wanted to return to Wuling. However, Zhuge Song thought about it carefully, there are also advantages to not staying, in case that strip is discovered early, Ma Liang will definitely lead someone to stop Zhuge Song from leaving the city.
At this time, the Taishou Mansion in Changsha City was brightly lit, and Ma Liang was pacing back and forth in the middle of the lobby. Liu Pan persuaded Ma Liang: "Lord Zhuge is young after all, I think he is in a bad mood and went out of the city to relax, adults don't have to worry too much, hasn't the military camp already reported that he took the personal guards with him, and when he figured it out, he would naturally come back." ”
Ma Liang sighed: "Although what Lord Liu said is not unreasonable, it is difficult for this Zhuge Song to speculate according to common sense. Because Ji Chang's younger brother was under his door, Ji Chang knew a lot about it, when the barbarian soldiers first attacked Wuling, in the face of the sound of the full house sticking to the county town, he was able to remain quiet, on the grounds of going out to relax and play, only a hundred people, he designed to capture Shana, and then when the barbarian king attacked, only more than 600 people pretended to escape, and calculated the Shamoke who was chasing after him. Although these military exploits have made his status in the heart of the lord much heavier, this kind of meritorious service mentality of ignoring danger will harm him sooner or later! ”
"Are you saying that Zhuge Song is likely to take five hundred people to attack the Wu army camp?" Liu Pan's eyes widened, and then he also sighed and said: "Usually I am conceited and brave, but I didn't expect that there are such more daring and reckless people!" ”
Ma Liang waved his hand: "I'm afraid there will be no results tonight, please go back, maybe tomorrow will be tomorrow, everything will be known." ”
Not to mention that the generals in Changsha City are resting for the time being, it is said that Zhuge Song is on a hill at this time, under the particularly clear starry sky, the night breeze blows, and the corners of his clothes swing, the cool feeling makes him feel particularly comfortable.
Now Zhuge Song has sobered up, he looked at Zheng Liang who was standing beside him with an excited face, and thought: "Young is good!" Only young people can be fearless, and what seems to others to be life-threatening is just another opportunity for Zheng Liang to make great achievements! ”
When Zheng Liang saw Zhuge Song looking at him, he asked expectantly: "It's time, my lord!" Zhuge Song nodded at him slightly, and told him again uneasily: "Don't forget, you must run fast after shooting, you can discard bows and arrows or anything, if you run slowly and are surrounded, this little person in my hand is not enough to save you!" ”
"Don't worry, sir!" Zheng Liang replied nonchalantly, then turned around and waved his hand, and the hundred fully armed archers standing in front of him all followed him and left in a hurry.
Seeing that they all disappeared into the night of the jungle, Zhuge Song glanced at Changsha City not far away, which had been lit up all the time, sighed, and then turned back to the remaining four hundred spears and halberds and shield soldiers and said, "Let's also prepare and go to Wuzhai from another road according to the previous plan!" ”
There are a total of eight camps in the mountains and forests east of Changsha City, which stand on eight small hills in the shape of stars. These hills are not very high, and each of them is only seventy or eighty meters above the woodland below.
There are countless hills like this between the hilly eastern part of Changsha and Chaisang County, and it is the southernmost of the eight camps that Zhuge Song will raid tonight.
Because it was late at night, Wu Bing really did not put a guard post to patrol around under the mountain infested by wild beasts, but half an hour later, when Zhuge Song and the four hundred sergeants behind him had arrived not far from the south of the Wu army's southern village, Zhuge Song saw that the security on the hill was still tight, and the number of sergeants holding torches at the gate of the village was actually dozens of people. This further strengthened Zhuge Song's inference that there were no less than 10,000 Wu soldiers in these eight villages.
But now is not the time for Zhuge Song to do it now, what he needs now is to wait, wait for the signal of Zheng Liang who set off earlier. And this signal is that Zhuge Song stabbed the hornet's nest and opened the prelude to the entire battle!
When the sky in the distance was suddenly crossed by countless rockets, and where the rockets fell, the camp closest to Changsha City of the Wu army immediately fell into a sea of fire. The alarm of the enemy attack sounded almost immediately in the southern village of the Wu army that Zhuge Song faced, and in just a short time, a partial general who seemed to be the general in the village brought out thousands of Wu soldiers from the village and hurriedly ran down the mountain towards the camp where the fire started. The soldiers left in the village closed the gate of the village as soon as they left, and it was obvious that this was the order given by the general when he left, and the reason why he gave such an order meant that there were not many Wu soldiers in the village!
This is why Zhuge Song chose this Wu village, Zhuge Song previously expected that even if Wu soldiers had tens of thousands of Wu soldiers in these eight villages, it would already be the limit of Zhou Yu's 50,000 people, even if the main general here distributed these 10,000 people evenly among the eight camps, and the defenders in each camp could only have more than 1,000 people. In the military, it is difficult for the generals who generally arrange the troops to divide the troops evenly, and in the current situation that the Wu soldiers are divided into eight villages, although they can control all the paths leading to Chaisang in the west of Changsha to the greatest extent, but as the main general, they will definitely only leave 1,000 troops in each remote village at most, so as to ensure that the main village where he is located has enough mobile troops to deal with emergencies.
If Zhuge Song was the commander of the Wu army, he would do the same, so Zhuge Song asked Zheng Liang to shoot Wu Zhai with a rocket, which was the closest to Changsha City and looked larger. Because he expected that the stockade would definitely be the main village of the Wu army!
In ancient military warfare, the impact of poor information was much higher than that of modern warfare. Regardless of the speed of communication in the 21st century, if Wu Jun had a telephone with a number shaken in the 20th century, and as soon as it caught fire, he would know that it was just a round of rockets fired by someone and it would be over, and he would not have rushed to the rescue with all the soldiers in the village.
And what Zhuge Song wants to use is this, the main village was attacked, which general who led the troops to save will always get a little favor in front of the main general, and this Nanzhai is the farthest away from the main village of the Wu army, and if something happens there, the precaution here is the lowest. This is why Zhuge Song chose this village to start.
Seeing that the Wu soldiers on the mountain really went to the rescue, Zhuge Song's soldiers and generals all showed excited looks, and they couldn't bear it and looked at Zhuge Song, just waiting for Zhuge Song's order.
But Zhuge Song asked them to wait a little longer, and now that Wu Bing has not gone far, it is definitely not the best time to attack immediately. When the time for a stick of incense has passed, the burning place of the main village of the Wu army in the distance has been extinguished, Zhuge Song waved his hand, and the soldiers who had long been unable to hold it immediately killed the mountain.
Excitement is excitement, but these soldiers have long been warned by Zhuge Song to sneak up the mountain and not make a sound. So when they really destroyed the gate of the village and entered the village, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were immediately released by the sound of shouting and killing that resounded in the sky.
At this time, Zhuge Song only left a ten-man team to protect himself, although he shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the coach, but the frustration of no success was still clearly displayed on their faces. Even this time, this is the third time Zhuge Song has commanded the battle, probably because he was almost caught up by Shana on Yuanshui for the first time, whether it was the next battle of Hanshou or this time he commanded a sneak attack on the Wu army's remote village, Zhuge Song no longer had the courage to go into battle in person.
There were really not many Wu soldiers in the village, and the battle ended almost immediately after Zhuge Song's army broke through the gate of the village. Because it was a surprise attack that the enemy could never have dreamed of, coupled with the overwhelming superiority in numbers, the whole army miraculously suffered no casualties.
After going up the mountain, Zhuge Song looked at the dozens of corpses of Wu Jun in the village, thinking that with his current military strength, it was only possible to have overwhelming combat power in the face of dozens of enemy troops. Because it was a victory with zero casualties, the morale of the soldiers was so high that one of the captains of the 100-man team even suggested on behalf of the sergeants that they should take advantage of the victory and continue to attack another Wu village not too far from here in the northwest!
In all fairness, Zhuge Song at this time also wanted to continue to expand the results after the success of the plan. After all, the first victory of Yuannan was won by Zheng Liang's impromptu response, and the second Hanshou merit was also made by Ma Yan. Only this time, although it also relied on the lives of the soldiers, but if it weren't for Zhuge Song's own flash of inspiration and quick decision, how could there be success tonight?
Countless designers of plans do not want to receive the maximum and best results for their plans. Zhuge Song is also a human being, facing the warm and expectant eyes of the sergeants, he nodded, and in the huge cheers, his original plan was completely changed.
