This was repeated four or five times, and gradually the day dawned, and the soldiers in the city were all black-eyed, yawning, and languishing, and at this time, there were large armies attacking in the north and west directions of Lecheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Liang hurriedly ordered all the troops to go to the city to defend, and the soldiers were tired and staggered up to the city.

The dense Jizhou army in the distance suddenly stopped, Yan Liang sent spies out of the city to check, only to see that the north general flag was written "Zhang", and the west general flag was written "Gao", which was Zhang He and Gao Shun.

When the two arrived twenty miles outside the city of Lecheng County, they stopped marching, but cut down wood and quarried stones, and built a barracks, it seemed that they really wanted to trap the defenders in Lecheng City.

After the spies reported the situation, Yan Liang said: "Hmph, the Jizhou army is not self-sufficient, and it is simply wishful thinking that more than 20,000 soldiers and horses want to trap my 40,000 army!" ”

Chun Yuqiong said: "Old Yan, don't take it lightly, I have heard that Jiang Sheng is good at using soldiers, and the generals under his command are not simple, they dare to march with 20,000 soldiers and horses, they must be deliberately showing weakness and inducing our army to attack." This is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, don't be fooled! ”

Yan Liang thought about it for a while, so he said, "Then let's wait and see what their main army has planned." ”

These two people are more than brave and resourceful, Zhang He's small tricks, so that Le Cheng's 40,000 soldiers and horses dare not fight, Zhang He has no intention of besieging Le Cheng at all, just more than 20,000 people, surrounding 40,000 troops and this county, it is impossible at all, but his strategy is not simply a suspicious soldier, there are also tricks.

Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong's two armies stayed idle in Lecheng County for two days, and when they didn't see anything suspicious, Yan Liang sent people out to find out the news.

When the news came back, the camps of Zhang He and Gao Shun had almost been built, and the rejection horses and deer barricades in front of the camp were also readily available.

Chun Yuqiong said: "It seems that they are planning to stay for a long time, and there must be no main force, or we will go to war once?" ”

Yan Liang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they're just waiting for us to fight, right?" Brother Chunyu, don't be impatient, wait two more days to see. ”

In the middle of the night, the armies of Zhang He and Gao Shun began to march noisily, starting from the north and west directions. Yan Liang organized 5,000 soldiers to go to the city to guard and closely monitor the movements of the Jizhou army, while the rest of the soldiers and horses rested separately, ignoring the situation outside the city.

This was the case for the next few days, and Yan Liang was also riveted, thinking that Zhang He was forcing him to fight, so he simply came to a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, no matter how you tossed, I just wouldn't fight!

Five days passed, and the Jizhou army suddenly stopped, and it did not come at night. Yan Liang analyzed it and judged that the Jizhou army that came to attack Lecheng was these two teams, and the spies also searched around, and no trace of the Jizhou army was found within a radius of 100 miles.

Yan Liang said to Chun Yuqiong: "The Jizhou army is only 20,000 people, and we now have 40,000 soldiers, so we can beat them." ”

Chun Yuqiong said: "We have been frightened by their suspicious tactics for most of the past half a month, so we simply came up with a suspicious tactics. ”

Zhang He and Gao Shun have completed the preparations for war in the past few days, just waiting for Yan Liangjun to go to war, early in the morning of this day, the spies who were lurking outside Lecheng City reported to Zhang He, Yan Liangjun went out of the city!

Zhang He smiled: "This is the day I have been waiting for!" ”

Gao Shun's side also received the news that Chun Yuqiong had sent troops, and ordered the whole army to prepare for receiving the enemy.

Only 5,000 people were left in Lecheng City to wave their flags and shout, bluffing, Yan Liang led an army of 20,000, Chun Yuqiong led an army of 15,000, and rushed to the camps of Zhang He and Gao Shun respectively.

Yan Liang took 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and the infantry archers followed, 20,000 people were mighty, and the killing was over, Zhang He ordered the cavalry to go out of the camp to protect the flanks, and the infantry and archers had already entered the battle position.

Yan Liang's cavalry galloped on horseback, unaware that there was a trap hidden under his feet, and when he arrived at the two miles in front of Zhang He's camp, his feet were suddenly empty, and the mud ground that was originally covered with turf was suddenly empty, and the hundreds of cavalry who rushed to the front suddenly lost their horses and fell into a wide and deep trap pit.

These days, Zhang He and Gao Shun's two armies are bluffing at night, in fact, they are digging horse traps, these traps are dug from the ground, the layer of soil and grass above is intact, in fact, the bottom is completely empty, this trap is not a ditch, but a vast area of Dafang pit, three thousand war horses have not been spared, all have been knocked out by this trap, some are trapped, most of them are tripped by the war horses that fell to the ground in front.

Zhang He gave an order, and a dense number of arrows flew out of the camp with the sound of breaking through the air. The arrows were made of four-bow bed crossbows, and they were so powerful that the cavalry who fell into the pit of their horses were met with a rain of arrows.

Yan Liang was shocked, and hurriedly Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the more than 100 cavalry at the back retreated, while the infantry retreated in great strides.

At this time, huge stones fell from the sky and fell in the dense crowd of foot archers, many soldiers were smashed to a blur of flesh and blood, Yan Liang was shocked, and led the army to retreat.

Zhang He saw that Yan Liangbu had withdrawn from the firing range, so he ordered to stop the attack.

Gao Shun was in a similar situation, Chun Yuqiong's army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and retreated to Lecheng in embarrassment.

In this battle, the armies of Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong did not even get close to the camp of the Jizhou army, and they had already suffered heavy losses, losing nearly 10,000 people, while the Jizhou army could be said to be unscathed.

After collecting the troops and returning to the city, Yan Liang was full of regret, he didn't expect Zhang He and them to set up such a game! Now with 30,000 horses on hand, it is more than enough to defend the city, and it is absolutely impossible to fight.

After Zhang He and Gao Shun won a great victory, they hurriedly organized personnel to clean up the battlefield, and some of the war horses that were only slightly injured were brought out to supplement the military.

Most of the soldiers trapped in the pit had died of exhaustion, and the few remaining wounded were rescued and placed in the camp for treatment, and many soldiers were sent to guard them strictly.

After the living were rescued, Zhang He and Gao Shun respectively ordered the soldiers to pour tung oil in the big pit, and a fire burned it, and the fire continued to burn all night, emitting an unpleasant smell, and Zhang He had to temporarily withdraw from the original camp.

Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong no longer dared to fight, and it didn't matter whether the camp was strong or not, Zhang He and Gao Shun ordered the soldiers to set up temporary camps in the upwind direction.

It is said that when Yuan Shaobu sent Lu Xiang south, he continued to integrate the counties and townships along the way, and when he arrived at the periphery of Dongguang County, he already had more than 30,000 troops, and when he had to order him to go south, he only had 6,000 men and horses.

In the case of Lu Xiang, Gao Lan, Zhang Ning, and Wei Xu, Gao Ran and Wei Xu each led 8,000 troops, but Zhang Ning had 30,000 people, and the total number of cavalry was about 16,000. When Lü Xiang made a tentative attack, he found that there were countless defenders of Dongguang, and the dense arrows alone made Lü Xiang's army daunting.

Coming and going, Lü Xiang's tentative attack had no effect, but Gao Ran and Zhang Ning were still angry, so they sent 10,000 cavalry to fight and took the initiative to challenge Lü Xiang's 30,000 army.
