Chapter 554: Xu Maogong VS Zhuge Can (6)

Hundreds of miles away.

Outside Suiyang City.

Lu Yang's 70,000 elite soldiers camped here.

In the evening, Zhuge Can had a letter delivered, and he hurriedly opened it.

The content of the letter: Yangzhou mutiny, has been almost empty city, it is the time to capture, with the general leading 20,000 troops, Wu Qing dispatched 10,000 troops and horses, together to Yangzhou, must seize the city. After the general left, he ordered his subordinates to shout at the foot of Suiyang City every day to confuse the other party.

After reading it, Lu Yang was overjoyed in his heart, Yangzhou was empty, and it was a good time to recover Huainan!

He did not hesitate any longer, and immediately arranged all the things in the camp, leaving 50,000 men to garrison, including 40,000 iron horsemen and 10,000 foot soldiers; And he, after dark, led 20,000 foot soldiers to move quickly in the direction of Yangzhou.

At the same time, on the official road to Yangzhou, Wu Qing also received a letter.

His reaction was the same as Lu Yang's, he had no doubts about Zhuge Can's order, and was very willing to go to attack Yangzhou.

So, after Lu Yang arrived with his troops, he led 10,000 troops and followed Lu Yang to Yangzhou City.

As a result, whether it is the Xiliang soldiers outside Suiyang or the Xiliang soldiers blocking the road on the official road to Yangzhou, their strength has been greatly reduced.

Three watches that night.

In the lobby of Suiyang City, Cheng Liang and Wei Chi Baolin gathered together to discuss, holding the letter sent by Xu Maogong in their hands.

After reading the letter, Cheng Liang laughed: "Okay! That's great! ”

"Paulin, our chance has finally come."

"What chance?"

Cheng Liang handed him the letter and said, "You see, the military advisor has sent a letter saying that the enemy army outside the city has been transferred 20,000 people, and it is the weakest time, let us take this opportunity to break through the siege and go to meet him." ”

Yu Chi Baolin said excitedly: "Okay! I said a long time ago that those cavalry outside the city will be eaten by us sooner or later! ”

"But... They have 40,000 horsemen, and they are no small threat to us! If we lead our army north, they will definitely pursue. Cheng Liang said worriedly.

"Then attack their camp and destroy all his 50,000 men!" Hum! We have 160,000 people, what are we afraid of him? Yu Chi Baolin said indignantly.

Cheng Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But in their camp, there must be an ambush, I sent people to inquire before, their infantry are all planted on both wings, if our army attacks, it will be heavily damaged." ”

That's a problem...

Yu Chi Baolin said irritably: "It's really a trouble..." ”

The two fell silent.

After a while, Cheng Liang said: "I have a way, maybe I can give it a try." ”

"What's the solution? Say it. ”

Cheng Liang said: "Let's send 20,000 people north first, attract all the enemies in the camp, and then..." ”

Before he finished speaking, Yu Chi Baolin shouted: "Good attention, good idea!" That's it! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

But at this time, it is already the fourth watch, and it is about to dawn, if you act at this time, it will be inconvenient.

So, the two decided to wait another day.

Until the next day, at midnight, 20,000 troops swept out of Suiyang City, spared the Xiliang soldiers outside the city, and headed north.

Such a big movement, of course, could not be concealed from the Xiliang soldiers stationed outside the city, and they already knew about it the moment the Tang army walked out of Suiyang, because there were people outside the city every moment, and as long as there was any movement, they would report it to the big camp.

After receiving the news that the Tang army was heading north, all the cavalry in the battalion were dispatched, a full 40,000, to kill the 20,000 troops! At the same time, the ambush soldiers in the camp were also withdrawn, ready to gather and go to capture Suiyang.

This is also the order given by Lu Yang when he left, once the enemy is dispatched, on the one hand, he will send iron cavalry to chase and kill, and on the other hand, seize Suiyang, so that the Tang army will lose its foundation.

Two hours later, in a wilderness, 40,000 iron horsemen caught up with the 20,000 Tang troops heading north.

They thought that there were 160,000 enemy troops in front of them, so the offensive was very brave, and it was a fierce impact at the beginning, and as soon as the Tang army came into contact, it was immediately defeated.

However, after less than half an hour of fighting, behind them, there appeared a large number of black and oppressive enemies...

Cheng Liang held the gossip Xuanhua axe in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush over and kill them, kill them all, kill!" ”

He was followed by an army of 100,000 men!

These people, at the same time as the enemy's 40,000 iron horsemen left the camp, they also quietly followed, taking advantage of the night, to follow the enemy. He was only half an hour behind the enemy, and he had already caught up.

"Kill!" An army of 100,000 attacked the 40,000 horsemen in front of it like a wind.

At this time, those Xiliang Iron Cavalry were still fighting with the 20,000 Tang Army on the opposite side, although the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 Tang Army was not very good, and they were also defeated at the beginning of the battle, but, after all, there were many people, and they could not be killed in a while and a half.

And this created an opportunity for Cheng Liang, his 100,000 army attacked the 40,000 iron cavalry rear army, and immediately took the initiative.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh...

With Cheng Liang's earth-shattering roar, thousands of Tang soldiers held bows and arrows in their hands and shot forward.

Arrows rained down, and a large number of Xiliang iron cavalry fell, and the army formation was immediately in chaos.

And throughout the time, the Xiliang soldiers also discovered that Cheng Liang was coming from the rear army, so they turned their heads to face the battle, leaving only a few to continue to annihilate the enemy in front.

I have to say that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is well-trained in this regard, and they can make very difficult battlefield adjustments in a very short period of time, which is impossible for ordinary cavalry to do, and they must have a high degree of discipline and maneuverability in battle.

"Kill...! Fight with the Xiliang soldiers, brothers, kill the war horse first, and then kill the enemy! Don't let any of them go!! Cheng Liang kept yelling and giving various orders, and at the same time, he carried the Bagua Xuanhua axe in his hand and fought hard, but all the enemy soldiers who approached him were killed by him with an axe.

The Cheng family's Tiangang thirty-six axes, although they are not very powerful, but on the battlefield, they open and close, but they are a sharp weapon for killing.

Not only is the half-pillar incense kung fu, but on this wilderness, the 150,000 or 60,000 troops have fought fiercely...

At the same time, outside the Xiliang military camp, Wei Chi Baolin also came here with the remaining 40,000 Tang troops, and his task was to surprise the enemy's camp and capture the enemy's camp!

The most important thing is to take away all the weapons, grain, grass and baggage in the enemy's camp, which is much richer than the materials in Suiyang City.

He lost the empty city of Suiyang to the Xiliang soldiers, and now he has also come to capture the enemy's lair.

"Kill...!" With a loud shout, 40,000 Tang troops rushed into the barracks.

There weren't many soldiers in the battalion, there should have been 10,000 of them, but they all went to attack Suiyang. Today, there are only two or three thousand old and weak logistics personnel.

An army of 40,000 entered and immediately captured the camp with an overwhelming advantage!
