CHAPTER 286 ADVANCE AND RETREAT

Ge Liang led his army to approach the enemy camp and Xiazhai, on the one hand, he wanted to force Cao Xiu to fight a decisive battle, and on the other hand, he was also waiting for Cao Xiu to withdraw his troops and quickly pursued. Vertex updates are the fastest

Cao Xiu in the historical records was also a belligerent guy himself, he wanted to save face, knowing that he had fallen into Zhou Yi's plan to surrender, but also relied on his strong troops to forcibly march into the army, and finally died in shame after being defeated.

But Ge Liang firmly believed that the Wei army had already lost two battles in a row, and if Ma Chaojin occupied it, threatening Linwei and cutting off the connection between them and Guanzhong, even if Cao Xiu still wanted to block him here, all the soldiers under him would definitely have no more fighting spirit.

Now, what needs to be worried is whether Ma Chao can quickly attack and occupy.

Then, it is necessary to consider Cao Xiu's retreat, whether to surrender to Jicheng or return to Chencang.

On Chen Cang Road, Gao Xiang should have turned around and marched to Sanguan at this time.

The defenders of Chencang, at this time, should be worried about the loss of Guanzhong on the one hand, and have to guard against Gao Xiang's attack again, so they should not immediately come to Longyou to support Cao Xiu, right?

A gust of night wind blew, Ge Liang looked up at the night sky, the moon and stars were scarce, and the black magpie flew south. Vertex updates are the fastest

Birds with night terrors, flying south, there are enemies in the north moving this way!

Meng Da hurriedly ran over: "The two armies are so close to each other, be careful of the enemy's night attack." ”

Ge Liang's face was full of smiles: "Great, Cao Xiu is going to run away!" ”

He immediately had Wang Ping and Xu Shu called over and instructed them: "After an hour, regardless of whether the enemy comes to attack the camp or not, the prince will immediately lead 5,000 soldiers to kill the enemy camp. If the enemy camp is empty, quickly pursue. Remember, it is to pursue in the direction of Jicheng, and ignore the enemy troops fleeing eastward. ”

Meng Da frowned on the side, the so-called poor Kou Mo chases, if the enemy retreats tonight, he takes the initiative to retreat, and he is not afraid of being ambushed by the enemy?

Ge Liang seemed to know what Meng Da was thinking, and continued to say to Wang Ping: "Remember, in case you fall into the enemy's ambush, don't panic, gather your formation, stick to the spot, and Zidu and I will lead the army to arrive later." Vertex updates the fastest"

Oh, it turned out that there was a back move, the corner of Meng Da's mouth pulled slightly, and it was finally my turn to send troops.

Wang Ping received the order: "Please rest assured, Da Sima, the training in the past two years has been able to ensure that even if there are only five people left, the sergeants will not fall into chaos, and they can still form a formation to resist." ”

Of course, Ge Liang was relieved, this was the basic requirement for him to let Wang Ping train the army in the first place. No matter what the situation is, the army must not be chaotic.

The request of every army commander must not be as simple as taking the lead and shouting "kill" or "withdraw".

He said to Xu Shu again: "Yuan Zhi, you only need to leave two thousand sergeants in the camp to guard the chariots, and you can lead three thousand sergeants to follow behind the enemy troops who are fleeing in the direction of the up, bluff, shout, and scare them away." ”

Finally, he told everyone: "Tell every sergeant that tonight, the enemy is going to retreat overnight, and all attacks and ambushes are just to delay our pursuit. Vertex updates the fastest"

Cao Xiu was ready to retreat urgently, but under the losing streak, taking the initiative to retreat could also cause chaos, not to mention that the enemy was already so close.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to send 2,000 soldiers to launch a feint attack on the enemy camp at night while the army was withdrawing.

In the camp, the army urgently packed up their belongings and then quietly withdrew.

Two thousand sergeants walked out of the camp and approached the Shu camp.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, the sergeants who carried out the attack couldn't help but mutter.

"Such a bright moonlight, isn't it suitable for a sneak attack, will the enemy find us from afar?"

"What's wrong with Ryo? When it's on, you don't need to light a torch. No matter how bright the moonlight is, how far can you see? There is no moonlight, and a torch in the dark night can be seen from miles away, and you only need to turn a corner and you can see the fire of the enemy camp in front of you. Vertex updates the fastest"

"Didn't you say that there were no stars and no moon, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your five fingers before you could sneak attack? In that case, even if the enemy stands in front of us, he will not see us attacking. ”

"If it's really so dark, you touch it so far away, and you don't dare to hit a torch, and you fall half to death, and you still want to sneak attack people? Let's go to someone else's place to die! ”

"Well, who said you can't have moonlight during a night attack? It is to make the enemy think that the moon is bright tonight, and it is not suitable for a night attack, so that he can attack him unprepared. Don't know what it means to do the opposite? ”

"Who's talking? Don't you know if we're going for a sneak attack? Are you worthy of the responsibility of being discovered by the enemy? ”

"Forget it, didn't you say it was just a feint? When we arrived outside the enemy's camp, didn't we just shout a few times, throw two torches, and frighten the enemy to shrink into the camp and not dare to move, and then we turned around and ran? ”

"Shut up! We are so close to the enemy camp that the enemy has discovered us in advance, and if we ambush you in turn, you will kill everyone! ”

The leading tooth general divided the two thousand men and horses into four teams, each with a few war drums, and quietly approached the Shu army camp from several directions.

Seeing that it was less than a mile away from the enemy camp, General Wei set up the war drums and ordered all the soldiers to get ready.

The sergeants hurriedly took off their longbows and put on arrows wrapped in tarpaulins.

A sergeant fired a scythe and lit a torch in his hand.

General Wei immediately waved the drumsticks and beat the war drums loudly.

When the Wei troops in the other three places heard the sound, they also hurriedly beat the war drums in response.

The sergeants hurriedly lit the torches, lit the rockets, shouted "kill", and rushed to the Shu army camp.

At this moment, the deafening war drums also sounded in the Shu camp, and then, the camp gate was opened, Wang Ping led five thousand soldiers, and the commander with a shield charged forward, followed by the crossbowmen, who also shouted "Kill", and met the head-on.

Originally, the soldiers of the Wei army who wanted to scare the Shu army, when they saw that the other party rushed out so quickly, they were naturally prepared, and immediately frightened themselves, and quickly shot the arrow in their hands, and then turned around and ran.

Wang Ping's army had already held back their strength and chased after them in the moonlight.

The Wei army ran wildly, ran out of five miles, and ran back to their original camp.

The camp gate was wide open, and they hurried into it and closed the camp gate with their hands.

Wang Ping and the others did not hesitate, knocked open the camp gate, and quickly followed.

The camp was empty, and there were no tents left except for the wooden fences around it.

The Wei army passed through the camp and continued to flee by the road.

Wang Ping's army continued to chase closely.

Although the Wei army in front desperately tried to escape, they barely maintained a certain formation.

Wang Ping smiled coldly, it seems that the enemy really still has a back hand.

chased out five miles again, and sure enough, the Wei deserters in front of him gradually slowed down.

Immediately, in the valleys on both sides of the road, a large number of enemy horsemen suddenly rushed out and rushed straight towards Wang Ping and them.

The Wei army, which was fleeing in front, also quickly turned around and killed a horse pistol. (To be continued.) )
