Chapter 125: Fighting Schemes

[If you haven't collected it yet, hurry up and collect it!] Thank you for your support! In the first battle of Tuyan, the official army lost nearly 20,000 people, it can be said that although the victory was especially defeated, Jiang Sheng's troops were full of more than 40,000 people, and the number of cavalry was only 10,000, compared to the level at that time, this was also a strong army, after all, cavalry was a luxury.

Feiru (now Lulong, Hebei) was the base camp of Zhang Chun's army, and Zhang Chun's main force retreated to Feiru after being defeated by Jiang Sheng, while the cavalry of Wuhuan Qiu Liju fled far away from the grassland and did not dare to fight against Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.

Gongsun Zhan's white-robed cavalry has a name called White Horse Yicong, which can be regarded as a special force brought out by Gongsun Zhan, the number is only a few dozen. Gongsun Zhan went to pursue the Wuhuan cavalry, and Jiang Sheng had to clean up Zhang Chun's mess.

Chu Yan escaped with his life, and when he returned to the city, he pleaded with Jiang Sheng, in front of all the soldiers, Jiang Sheng was inconvenient to expose the relationship with Chu Yan, so he said: "The general has not explicitly ordered not to pursue, what is General Chu's crime?" It's just that we are waiting to come to Youzhou from afar, and we need to be cautious at all times in battle. Zhang Chun colluded with Wu Huan, and he may get Wu Huan's support at any time, and you have also seen today's battle situation, the combat power of Wu Huan's cavalry is not something we can resist. ”

"We'll keep it in mind!" All the soldiers.

"In the future operations in Youzhou, as long as the city is captured, what we have to do is not to pursue, but to save the materials in the city as much as possible and deploy the defense tightly, because after we capture the city, we are likely to face the danger of being attacked. From this moment on, those who go out of the city to pursue without authorization after capturing the city will be engaged in military law! Jiang Sheng ordered.

After the soldiers dispersed, Jiang Sheng said to Chu Yan: "Chu Yan, don't make today's mistakes again, our principle is to fight steadily and steadily, don't care about the number of enemies destroyed, but seek a balance point where our losses are less and the enemy's losses are greater, and we can't fall in love with war." ”

Chu Yan said: "My subordinates know that they are wrong! ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Three days later, I plan to attack Feiru, and you go back to reorganize the soldiers and horses to prepare for the war in the coming days." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Chu Yan went to prepare.

That night, Zhang He came back with information to report.

Jiang Sheng saw that in Zhang He's sketch, Feiru County was located at the commanding heights of the hilly area at the southern foot of Yanshan, and if it was to attack the city, it would be an upward attack, which was extremely unfavorable.

"Junyi, what is your best strategy for breaking the city for Feiru?"

"My lord, if you are as condescending as fat, if you attack from the east, west, and south, you will definitely fail! According to his subordinates, there is only outwitting. ”

"So how do you outwit it?"

"The water of Feiru County is taken from Yanshan, and the lord and look, the hills in the north of the city are higher than in the city, and if it breaks through from the north of the city, the odds are quite large."

"Zhang Ju won't fail to see this, his main force must be in the north of the city."

"Zhang Ju will definitely not think that we are attacking from the north of the city."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Zhang Ju set up three large battalions in the north of the city, guarding the northeast, northwest and rivers respectively, especially the troops on the river bank, attacking from the east and west sides of Feiru, it is also a back attack, but if it is from the Yan Mountain down, it is condescending."

"The Yanshan Mountains are high and the roads are steep, if the army goes up the mountain, it will take more than a month, and we don't have so much time." Jiang Sheng did not agree with Zhang He's proposal.

"You don't have to go up the mountain with a large army, you just need more than a hundred people to bluff, the main battle is in other directions, my idea is ......"

"That's a wonderful way!" Jiang Sheng couldn't help but applaud, so he asked Zhang He to act according to the plan.

On the seventh day of October, the moon was dark and the wind was high, Zhang He led 200 elite soldiers with enough flags, arrows and fire-burning things from the Yanshan forest trail to the mountainous area in the north of the city, Yu Ban led 10,000 cavalry to line up in the west of the city, Chu Yan and 10,000 infantry hid in the east of the city, and Jiang Sheng led the Chinese army to garrison in the south of the city.

Jiang Shengjun's troop movement had long been seen by Zhang Chun, and after he fled back to Feiru, he was pondering Jiang Sheng's tactics, and saw that Jiang Sheng's army camp was blank again.

"As the saying goes, a good plan is not reused, this Jiang Sheng really thought I would be fooled! Jiang Sheng's camp deliberately did this, but it made us not know the truth and didn't dare to act rashly, he wanted to buy time to transfer troops and send generals, how could he let his treacherous plan succeed? Lord, I will lead an army of 20,000 to attack Jiang Sheng's camp. ”

"The general must not move lightly, the art of war is cloudy, the virtual is real, and the real is false. Jiang Sheng's tricks must be to lure our army into battle and enter his game. I'll wait and see for a few days, and then it's not too late to make plans! "Zhang Ju still knows a little bit about the art of war.

Jiang Sheng's purpose in doing this was no different from what Zhang Ju said, he knew that Zhang Chun had entered the city, so he repeated the old trick and led Zhang Chun to be fooled.

However, due to Zhang Ju's stopping, Zhang Chun survived, and after Jiang Sheng arranged for many days, he did not see Zhang Chun go out to fight, knowing that the strategy must have been recognized, so he arranged deer barricades, wooden cones and other defensive objects in front of the camp.

Zhang Chun saw it really in the city, secretly regretted it, fell into Jiang Sheng's hands again, and gave Jiang Sheng a few days to prepare in vain. When Zhang Ju saw such a formation, he also secretly regretted it. However, they had already concluded that Jiang Sheng's main force must not be in the south of the city.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju analyzed Jiang Sheng's strategy for using troops in Tuyuan, and knew that Jiang Sheng must have the main force of soldiers and horses hiding somewhere in the north of the city, waiting for an opportunity to attack, because the north of the city is the best place to attack the city.

Zhang Ju ordered all departments inside and outside the city to closely monitor the movements of the officials and troops to prevent the officers and soldiers from stealing the camps, and their attention was on the three large camps in the north of the city, but after several explorations, no trace of Jiang Shengjun was found, could they not fall from the sky?

Jiang Sheng saw that the number of defenders on the southern city wall was obviously small, so he organized a tentative attack. Three thousand sword and shield soldiers attacked the south gate with the cooperation of three thousand archers.

Zhang Chun commanded the defenders of the South Gate to kill and wound the officers and soldiers with arrows, causing a lot of casualties to the officers and soldiers.

When Zhang Chun saw this way of playing, he also said that Jiang Sheng feinted to attract the attention of the defenders, which confirmed his previous judgment that Jiang Sheng's other team must be on the mountain, trying to attack the north gate of the city from a high position.

After listening to Zhang Chun's analysis, Zhang Ju was very impressed, so he left only a small number of soldiers to guard the south gate, and most of the troops were enriched to the three large camps in the north of the city.

Sure enough, a few days later, the Yanshan mountainside was full of flags, smoke and dust, and it looked like there were more than 10,000 troops.

Zhang Chun laughed and said: "Jiang Sheng really repeats his old tricks, fortunately, he has strengthened the strength of the North Third Battalion in the past few days, so he can be safe." ”

At the same time, Jiang Sheng launched a tentative attack again, found that the defense was obviously much weaker, and knew that the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain had worked, so he beat the drum and marched, and the 20,000 army marched quickly under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, and began to storm the south gate.

After Zhang Chun got the report of the enemy attack at the South Gate, he disdained it, at this time, did he Jiang Sheng still think that he could contain my troops? Ignoring the report altogether, it was enough to keep the defenders south of the city under close surveillance.
