One hundred and twenty-five eight hundred guerrilla warfare
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Tying a horsetail to a tree branch is indeed the most effective way to bluff, and it is simple to operate and low-tech, which is simply the best strategy for a weak army to scare a strong enemy.
Knowing that the 100,000 Wei army rushed directly to Pinglu, Zhang Liao, who was guarding Chiyang, made a quick decision, leaving Lu Yi to lead 12,000 soldiers to guard the pass, and he brought 3,000 cavalry to Pinglu to reinforce him.
Zhang Liao knew that the Jin army was likely to act in conjunction with the Wei army, but Chiyang Pass stood between the mountains, and the terrain was dangerous, which could be called a one-man pass.
Even if 100,000 Jin troops come to attack, subject to the terrain, the number of troops that can be put into attack at the same time is only 20,000 or 30,000, and with the 12,000 soldiers on Chiyang Pass, they can hold on for half a month, or even longer.
And through this period of time as a partner, Zhang Liao also has a deeper understanding of Koji Yi, although this guy has a lot of problems, such as greed, arrogance, arrogance, and even some people in his eyes.
During this time, he personally set up a crossbow battalion of 800 people, specializing in training the method of restraining cavalry, showing a very high tactical quality, which amazed Zhang Liao.
"Liao went to Pinglu to harass the Wei army with guerrilla tactics, relieved the pressure of trial and Ji Ling, and insisted until the lord and Gongjin led the main force back to the rescue. Chi Yang is on Brother Koji! ”
"Wenyuan Zhiguan rest assured, Chiyang has a certain koji in charge, and the Jin army doesn't want to take a step!"
Under the light of the morning light, Zhang Liao bid farewell to Koyi and led 3,000 cavalry to the east.
And Lu Yi, who sent Zhang Liao away, was also in a dark mood, after all, he was the chief general of Chiyang Pass in Zhang Liao's absence. Even in Liyi's opinion, it is the same with or without Zhang Liao, anyway, the Jin army doesn't want to fly over!
It was only 180 miles from Chiyang to Pinglu, and the cavalry led by Zhang Liao marched at a speed of 60 miles per hour, and passed the building at noon, leaving 50 miles away from Pinglu.
Knowing that the Wei army was storming Pinglu City, Zhang Liao took it to heart and ordered his soldiers to cut down branches and tie them to the horse's tail, and made more than a dozen large flags to bluff, and then appeared in the west of Pinglu City in the evening.
Looking far away from the east, I saw the dust, the flags were waving, the horses' hooves were roaring, and the huge momentum was no less than the size of the 30,000 army.
Le Yang, who was storming the city, was afraid that the Tang army would attack the defenders in the city inside and outside, so he hurriedly ordered the attack to be suspended, and at the same time sent someone to ask Pang Juan to divide his troops to intercept it, so as to ensure that the besieging army continued to put pressure on the Tang army on the city wall.
Pang Juan stood on a high place and looked into the distance, wondering: "The main force of the Tang Army has already gone south to attack Shen, why did tens of thousands of horses come from the west?" Is there a deception in this, or is there reinforcement from the army of another country? ”
However, the strength of the princes of Liang, Cheng, and Zhai in the West is limited, and they can only muster up 30,000 or 40,000 troops with the strength of the whole country, and they have nothing to do with the Tang State, so how dare they come to pick up the tiger whiskers of the Wei State?
Korea and Zhao are powerful and maintain an alliance with Tang, but these two countries are in the northeast and the other in the southeast, even if they send reinforcements, how can they appear from the west?
But looking at the dust that covered the sky and the sun, Pang Juan didn't dare to be careless, so he had to order Lu Xian and Tyrannosaurus to lead 20,000 troops to the west to meet the battle. (ps: Don't complain about the name of the tyrannosaurus classmate, according to the tyrannosaurus, the tyrannosaurus is a Korean general who really exists in history, since there is a kite, maybe there is a dragon...... Wowhaha. Although there are many famous marshals in the Warring States, there are few records of fierce generals who charge into battle, and they can only rely on fictional characters to promote the plot, Jiang Batian is such a helpless product. Readers who know about the fierce generals of the Warring States may wish to leave a message to recommend, and the swordsman will definitely adopt it. )
"Pang Shuai rest assured, he will definitely kill the Tang Army without leaving a piece of armor!"
Finally got the opportunity to show his skills, and the tyrannosaurus clenched his fists and roared, making his face look even more hideous.
I couldn't figure out how many people came from the opposite side, so for the sake of safety, Pang Juan sent 300 troikas and 500 troikas, lined up in formation, and marched west to meet the battle.
A troika is a chariot drawn by two horses, and a person is responsible for driving the chariot, called the "Emperor"; The other person was in charge of the battle and was called "Armor".
The troika with more powerful impact is a chariot pulled by four horses, the two war horses in the middle are called "suits", and the war horses on both sides are called "horses".
There is also one more combatant corresponding to the war horse than the two carriages, and the one who drives the carriage in the middle is still called the "Emperor", and is the captain of the "one-ride" chariot.
The soldiers on the left side of the chariot are called both "Jiashou" and "Che Zuo", and their main weapons are Changge and spears, and they are responsible for killing enemy soldiers or attacking enemy chariots during combat.
The pawn on the right side of the chariot is called "Che You" or "Rong You", also known as "Ride", and the main weapon is the bow and crossbow, which is responsible for shooting the enemy from a distance before the two chariots stagger together.
Don't think that there are only a few people in the "one-ride" tank, and each tank has a special escort, just like the aircraft carrier formation before Fang Li crossed.
A chariot is followed by about 20 to 50 foot soldiers, who are armed with shields, spears, or bows and arrows, and their task is to assist the chariot in killing the enemy, and to protect the chariot from being damaged as much as possible.
For a time, the horses' hooves rumbled, the chariots were sparkling, and the convoy of 800 chariots, pulled by 2,600 war horses and escorted by 18,000 foot soldiers, marched westward to meet the invading Tang army.
The night had already darkened, and torches were lit all over the mountains and fields above and below the city, like stars in the sky.
Leyang's pause in the attack just now gave the Tang army a chance to breathe, and once again regrouped and arranged a tight defense. One by one, they bent their bows and arrows, prepared for their momentum, and because the morale of the reinforcements was high one by one, they felt full of strength.
In other words, more than 1,500 people killed by the Wei army just now died in vain, and if they want to threaten Pinglu City again, they can only start all over again.
Le Yang was depressed under the city, and fiercely swung his sword to cut down a wild jujube tree, sighing: "It's a pity to fall short!" If it weren't for the influence of the Tang army from the west, we would have climbed the Pinglu city wall at this moment. ”
But complaining and repenting is to no avail, Le Yang can only regroup, make a comeback, command the Wei army to fight at night, and attack Pinglu City again, "Don't be discouraged, Pinglu City must belong to our Great Wei!" ”
In the blink of an eye, the sound of killing rose again, and the Tang army and the Wei army above and below the city were strangled together, screaming one after another, and countless people fell to the ground with arrows.
The Wei army's chariot formation advanced three or four miles, and the Tang army's position also retreated backwards, which made the tyrannosaurus furious, standing on the chariot led by him and roaring loudly: "Wow, yes...... The Tang Army was so cowardly and cowardly, retreating without a fight, it really made people laugh off their big teeth! The soldiers gave me more strength, caught up with the Tang army and killed him! ”
Under the urging of the tyrannosaurus, 800 rode forward bravely in chariots, making a huge roar, rolling up the dust, and chasing after it.
However, the Tang army did not seem to have the meaning of short-handed combat, as the Wei army continued to retreat, the Wei army advanced as far as the Tang army retreated, and the distance between the two armies always maintained a distance of two or three miles.
The tyrannosaurus was completely enraged, urging his troops to chase after him, vowing to catch up with the Tang army, kill him, lose his armor, and never retreat without beheading him.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Wei army's chariot array was attracted away, Zhang Liao led 800 elite cavalry to quietly circle and attack the Wei army's Jingqi under the cover of night.
First, there was a mess on the battlefield, second, the cavalry led by Zhang Liao was from behind the Wei chariot, and third, there was the cover of night, and the Wei army facing the city wall did not even notice it, until this cavalry rushed to the front, only to realize that it was not their own people.
"Not good, the enemy is rushing over, hurry up and protect the well!" The Wei army was in chaos, and the screams came and went.
"Tear down this siege tower!"
Zhang Liao shouted, raised the Yanling knife in his hand and slashed at the bottom of the well, accompanied by the sound of "click" and "click", and suddenly sawdust flew, and the beam made of wood kept breaking, bending and deforming.
The 800 cavalry slashed the foot soldiers protecting the well while destroying the well with a sword, and only needed to cut off a few beams at the bottom, and this tall siege machine could not support the huge weight of the top, and began to tilt left and right, and broke off in an exclamation, and fell to the ground with a bang.
With a cup of tea, Zhang Liao led 800 elite horsemen to cut down 178 wells and hundreds of protective soldiers, causing the Wei soldiers to turn over on their backs and make a mess.
"My well!"
Seeing that the well that he was proud of was destroyed like chopping melons and vegetables, Pang Juan, who was watching the battle from a high place, seemed to be dripping blood in his heart, and let out a hysterical roar, "Let Le Yang stop attacking and protect Jing Yan!" Order the tyrannosaurus to collect troops and come back to encircle and suppress the Tang army! ”
With Pang Juan's order, the Wei army stopped the siege again, and the tyrannosaurus also hurriedly ordered the chariot to turn around and return, and surrounded the Tang cavalry behind Le Yang.
It's just that the chariot is clumsy, and the eight hundred chariots crowded together are even more bloated, so they can only slowly turn around, and when the formation turns, Zhang Liao has already led the Tang army to ride away lightly.
After a whole day of fierce fighting, the Wei army lost more than 2,500 people under the city, and still failed to set foot on the Pinglu city wall, which made Pang Juan angry and angry, and could only withdraw his troops again.
The next day, Pang Juan and Le Yang besieged Pinglu again, and Zhang Liao knew that one plan could not be used, so he stopped bluffing and ordered his soldiers to pluck the branches tied to the horse's tail and harass the Wei army from behind, so that they could not concentrate their forces to attack the city.
When the Wei army gathered heavy troops to encircle and suppress, Zhang Liao led his troops to turn his horse's head and rode away, leaving the Wei army unable to pursue.
The Wei army could neither attack the city with all its strength nor crack Zhang Liao's guerrilla tactics, so Pang Juan discussed with Le Yang and decided to send 30,000 troops and horses south to attack the empty Hanoi.
There are only 1,500 county soldiers in this city to defend it, and the 30,000 army will definitely be able to break the city in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, the Tang State will be cut off from the middle, see how Zhang Liao will deal with it?
