Chapter 392: A plan to attack the east and the west
It is said that He Xian took Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, led the 5,000 Flying Cavalry Army and the 5,000 Nanyang Army, and after bidding farewell to Zhang Liao, he gathered all the banners, making it unclear what this army belonged to. Then bypass all the big cities in Chenliu County and go north to the black nest. Whether Wuchao has Yuan Jun's grain camp, He Xian is not sure. This is a gamble, if you win, you can disintegrate the Yuan Cao coalition army, and even defeat the main force of the Yuan army in one fell swoop; lost, He Xian could only choose the poison plan provided by Jia Xu: go south to the hinterland of Yanzhou to burn, kill, and plunder......
Fortunately, Yuan Shao's choice has not changed, and Yuan Jun's grain camp is still in Wuchao!
After finding out the layout of Yuan's army's grain camp, He Xian chose to repair for a day in a hidden valley ten miles away, and at the same time discussed offensive countermeasures with Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.
Tai Shici didn't know if he had received the secret taught by his boss Zhang Liao, so he suggested that He Xian choose 800 dead soldiers and hand them over to him to infiltrate the Yuan army's grain camp, assassinate the main general Chun Yuqiong, and set fire to the grain at the same time. If it is an ordinary military camp, with Tai Shici's bravery, plus the elite of the eight hundred Nanyang Army, it may be possible to give it a try. However, the Wuchao camp is the lifeblood of Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and at the beginning of the design, it was a collection of the wisdom of many strategists under Yuan Shao's command. The whole camp is in a circular shape, with three layers inside and outside, and each layer is separated by a high fence, and there are 20,000 Jizhou elite soldiers allocated by Yuan Shao to guard it in layers. That's why Yuan Shao is so relieved of the safety of the black nest, and Chun Yuqiong will also indulge in drinking, feeling that no one can break through such a big camp. This three-dimensional layered guard camp is like a monster with three walls. Tai Shi Ci wanted to lead eight hundred dead soldiers through three levels in a row and break into the core area, and it was impossible not to alarm the defenders. And once the Yuan army gathers and guards the last fence, and then wants to kill the enemy's main general, it is simply a hellish level of difficulty.
Even though He Xian had confidence in Tai Shi Ci's bravery, and knew that Chun Yuqiong's goods would not be able to go three rounds under Tai Shi Ci, he could not underestimate the 20,000 Jizhou soldiers under Chun Yu Qiong. "Ants bite elephants to death", this risk is not worth taking.
Seeing Tai Shici's high fighting spirit, He Xian couldn't bear to refuse, so he revised Fang Cai's plan. He Xian handed over all the 5,000 Nanyang troops to Tai Shici. These 5,000 Nanyang troops are typical elite foot soldiers, they can ride horses, but they can't ride to fight. All their strength needs to be dismounted before they can be maximized. And attacking the camp is where their advantage lies! In other words, Tai Shi Ci is the main force in this raid battle!
He Xian and Zhao Yun personally led the 5,000 flying cavalry army and challenged the Yuan army camp head-on. He Xian ordered the sergeants to tie up tens of thousands of straw men in advance, put them on horseback, and after arriving outside the gate of the Yuan army, they planted these straw men densely on the ground, creating the illusion that the army was attacking the village. At the same time, he ordered a thousand flying cavalry sergeants to gallop back and forth with 5,000 unmanned war horses to further confuse the enemy. While arranging these scenes, Zhao Yun had already led four thousand soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Army to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and capture the first line of Yuan's camp.
After hearing the sergeant's return, Chun Yuqiong and Fu Yu hurried to the front of the battle. Leaning on the second line of defense, Chun Yuqiong and Fu Zhu saw that in the dark night, under the moonlight, there were figures everywhere, and torches everywhere.
"What a good thing that is! The Nanyang Army has dispatched a large army this time! When Chun Yuqiong saw it, it was the same as what the sergeant reported: countless!
Even though he was extremely intelligent, it was the first time he had encountered such a sinister scene, so he could only reluctantly cheer Chun Yuqiong up and said, "General, don't panic!" Our army still has two big villages to rely on, as long as it lasts until daytime, the lord will send troops to rescue us! ”
Hearing the encouragement of Fu Zhu, Chun Yuqiong finally showed a little momentum of a general, commanded the archers to shoot back towards the dense torches, and ordered the sword and shield men to guard the wall to prevent the Nanyang soldiers from climbing over the wall. In fact, He Xian didn't have the heart to fight hard with Chun Yuqiong at all. After capturing the first camp, He Xian put all his attention on attracting the attention of Chun Yuqiong and Yuan Jun. The shouts of killing shook the sky, rockets were fired indiscriminately, and the scene seemed to be lively, but in fact there were very few attacks.
Fu Zhu was the first to discover the abnormality: "General Chunyu, the offensive of the Nanyang Army seems to be showing signs of weakening!" ”
Chun Yuqiong straightened his helmet and said happily: "That must be the general's command, which has deterred Nanyang Xiaoer's arrogance!" ”
Fu Zhu mercilessly pierced: "I'm afraid not necessarily! The casualties of the Nanyang Army before were not heavy, and they were a long-planned blow, how could they retreat easily? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! There must be something strange in this! ”
Chun Yuqiong is a cheeky person, and it doesn't matter if he is refuted by frustration. Anyway, it is a fact that the offensive of the Nanyang Army has weakened, so what is the reason for him? As long as the Wuchao camp is guarded, it is a great achievement, and Chun Yuqiong's requirements are not high.
Frustrated and puzzled, looking around at Yuan Jun, who was gathering more and more in front of the formation, suddenly a spirit suddenly reminded him of an extremely important matter.
"General Chunyu, can heavy troops be arranged in other directions of the camp?" Fu Zhu shook Chun Yuqiong's shoulder and asked excitedly.
"Other directions?" Chun Yuqiong was stunned for a moment, "Except for the patrol team that is holding the position, all the mobile forces have gathered here, totaling fifteen thousand ......."
"Oops! I'm waiting for the Nanyang Army's plan to attack the east and west! Frustrated with Chun Yuqiong's armor, he shouted, "Quick! Draw soldiers to quickly return to the other three directions! Especially in our rear, we have to be heavily armed! ”
"Wait! What do you mean by being an adult, these tens of thousands of Nanyang troops in front of you are not all their strength? Chun Yuqiong rolled her eyes and asked.
"Exactly!" "It is very likely that the Nanyang army here is only a feint, so the offensive is not strong. The real main force should be in other directions! ”
"If this is the case, the last general's persuasion will not be in vain! The number of Nanyang troops in front of us is no longer what our whole army can deal with, if the Nanyang army still exists, let alone the main force, even if there is still a partial division, it is not something that our army can resist. It's better for our army to break through as soon as possible! ”
After listening to Chun Yuqiong's explanation, Frustrated Zhu was also stunned on the spot. Although Chun Yuqiong is greedy for a cup of good wine and doesn't look very spineless, her grasp of the strength of the enemy and her is extremely accurate. Because he found that Chun Yuqiong's explanation was very reasonable, he was speechless. I know it's wrong, but I can't find anything wrong, and this feeling makes the stubborn frustration almost crazy.
Without Chun Yuqiong's general order, he was frustrated and weak, and not a single soldier could be mobilized. In this stunned moment, dozens of granaries behind Yuan Jun suddenly burst into flames! Frustrated to know that it was too late!
