Chapter 451: Attacking what it doesn't defend is also

"Strategist! Strategist, I'm coming! ”

Lu Heng had just returned to the tent and had not yet sat down to take a sip of tea. The curtain of the door was lifted, and Duan Pengxing rushed in.

Duan Peng smiled, ran to Lu Heng, looked at Lu Heng with blank eyes, and asked expectantly: "Strategist, what's the good thing!" ”

"Heh...... how do you know there's something good?" Lu Heng was quite surprised, looked at Duan Peng curiously, and asked with a smile.

"Hey, hey, the last general guessed!" Duan Peng scratched his head and replied with a smile.

When I raised my head, I saw the military advisor tilting his head and looking at himself. With a look of smiling in his eyes, Duan Peng hurriedly admitted: "Why don't the heralds close their mouths when they smile, so, hehe, the last general is probably a good thing!" ”

Lu Heng shook his head with a smile and sat down slowly. took the tea handed over by Ouyang Ruolan beside him, took a sip, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down!" ”

Seeing that after Duan Peng sat down, he still looked like he was dumbfounded. That gaze is like a child waiting for candy.

"Alright, alright! I won't tease you! This fiery and resentful gaze made Lu Heng uncomfortable all over his body. After putting down the teacup, he glared at him angrily, and said with a smile: "You guessed right, it's indeed a good thing!" ”

Lu Heng smiled, and then, he took out the letter from the flying eagle from the table, threw it into Duan Peng's arms, and said with a smile: "Just now, Wang Xi asked the department to send back the news, saying that the 10,000 rebels who reinforced Taiyuan have surrendered!" Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone to appease the 10,000 brothers who surrendered to Cheng. Moreover, I believe that before tomorrow morning, Jinju will be recovered! ”

"Really?" When Duan Peng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. After a moment, he stood up and glanced down at the military newspaper in his hand, his eyes full of disbelief.

This is really the biggest good news I've heard in the past few days. If Wang Xi let his troops take Jinzhou without bloodshed, it would be equivalent to providing a base for logistics supply for the northern expedition of the army. Moreover, as long as the soldiers of Nanying guarding the south bank of the Yellow River break through the defense line of the Yellow River, then the southern part of Shanxi will be connected, and the whole of Shanxi will once again be under the rule of the imperial court, which is just around the corner!

Lu Heng nodded slightly, picked up the steaming teacup, took a sip, and looked at Duan Peng with a smile and said, "Wang Xi let the soldiers not be bloody, and recovered 10,000 rebels." Now you can win Jinzhong immediately. That's a big deal. Moreover, this guy has now ordered his 20,000 troops to rush to Jinju. I guess this kid is so thunderous, on the one hand, it's to take Jinju as soon as possible. Prepare a stable rear for the Great Army. Second, heh, ......, I must also have the intention of competing with you. After all, the aura of your body is too dazzling. So, Duan Peng! ”

Lu Heng blew the tea, raised his head, looked at Duan Peng and said, "If you don't want to be compared to Wang Xi, when you come back, show off like you." The Battle of Taiyuan, you have to take it as soon as possible, and you have to fight beautifully! ”

Through the water vapor rising like a mist, Lu Heng asked Duan Peng with a smile: "How is it, General Duan, do you have confidence?" ”

Lu Heng's words had already ignited the competitive spirit in Duan Peng's heart. Although I don't understand what the military advisor means by the aura. But seeing Lu Heng's eyes full of smiles, there was seriousness and hope. Duan Peng's heart was suddenly shocked, and his blood boiled. Stand up. Touching his chest with one hand, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the last general promises that before tomorrow morning, Taiyuan Mansion will be taken!" Don't let Wang Xi let that bird hiss and look down on us! ”

Lu Heng listened, nodded slightly, his eyes were full of expectation, looked at Duan Peng, and said with a smile: "Heh, since that's the case." Then Lu Mou will set up a banquet here tonight, waiting for your good news! ”

"Good!" Duan Peng heaved and clenched his fists to take his life.

……

The sky is clear and the sun is high.

The wind blew, and the clouds in the blue sky spread from one end to the other like a light white veil.

Under the sky, the wind whipped up the snow and blew across the ground like a light mist. In the distance, the lines of the mountains like ink paintings are faintly visible in the snow and mist.

Ahead, the Taiyuan City shrouded in flying snow is majestic and tall, and it is extremely solemn.

"Boss Duan, what should we do?" Ma San rode a horse and carried two plate axes with large door panels. glanced at Taiyuan City in the distance, turned around, and eagerly asked Duan Pengdao beside him.

Ma San was also anxious after hearing the news that Duan Peng said that Wang Xi had asked them to take down the rebels and was already attacking the city in Jinju at this time. It's a small loss, but it's a big thing! If Wang Xi let the bird hiss first, maybe how that guy will mock himself. Thinking of the sinister and cunning smile on Wang Xirang's honest face, Ma San felt unhappy for a while. At this time, I heard Boss Duan say that Wang Xirang had already rushed in front of him. Ma San suddenly couldn't sit still.

I asked, but I didn't hear Boss Duan's answer. Ma San, who was anxious, turned his head to take a look, only to find that Boss Duan was frowning at this time, his eyes narrowed, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

What to do?

Duan Peng pondered hard, his mind racing, thinking about the strategy of breaking the city.

Just now, when I was in the camp of the Chinese army. He also talked to the military advisor about the method of attacking the city.

When he asked about it, Lu Heng smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, stared at him, and said lightly: "It's okay to attack it!" ”

This sentence is in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and Duan Peng, who is familiar with the Art of War, naturally knows it. However, at this time, facing Taiyuan City, which was defended on all sides, there was no weakness in defense at all, let alone attack.

Where is the place to go?

"Can't you just create the conditions for him to give up one of them?" Lu Heng picked up the tea, blew the tea, and said lightly. Subsequently, seeing that Duan Peng was still frowning and thinking hard. Lu Heng smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the northwest direction of the camp tent and said, "Don't forget, those seven hundred paratroopers are still waiting on the high ground outside the city!" ”

After saying this, Lu Heng smiled and turned his head. Laughed with Ouyang Ruolan.

The inquiry was unsuccessful, and the military advisor seemed to be interested in testing himself. Duan Peng opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know how to ask. After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't understand it, and in the end, I had to retreat.

Now, looking at the Taiyuan City in front of him, which was defended on all sides, Duan Peng recalled the words of the military advisor, thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Attack what you don't defend and create conditions!

yes, how the fuck did I forget!

Along the way, the division has been emphasizing the newly formed paratrooper units. Obviously, the intention of the military division is to let these 500,000 selected paratroopers play the role of surprise soldiers and open the stalemate.

Now, the four gates are well defended, so that is, the defense in the city will be relatively weak. If you create the conditions yourself, attract the defenders of the city to the city gate to set up defenses. Is there not a ...... in the city?

With a light in his mind, Duan Peng, who was thinking about it, changed his sad face in a blink of an eye, and smiled happily.

Turning his head, he said to the herald in high spirits: "Herald, the generals of the four gates, after dark, start a feint attack on Taiyuan City." Tell them to do like a little. Bring all the siege equipment with you! When necessary, sacrifice is also required. However, it is important to let them know that even if there is a sacrifice, what they have to do is a feint! Got it? ”

"Yes!" When the herald heard this, he replied in a deep voice.

After receiving the order, the herald rode away without stopping for a moment.

"Feint?" Ma San, who was beside him, waited until the herald left, and then asked with a puzzled expression: "Why do you want to feint, can't we just attack directly?" ”

"You know a!" Duan Peng scolded him angrily, and then asked: "Do you know how many archers are hidden on the city wall, how many things are hidden to defend the city, do you know where the archers are hidden, and where are all the things?" ”

Ma San listened, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head like a rattle and said, "I don't know!" ”

"Isn't that all there is to it?" Duan Peng scolded angrily: "Let's make a feint, we can paralyze the enemy." Second, you can also test them, uh, that one is called a fire point! Just detect it. At such a short distance, our artillery will be able to deliver a pinpoint strike! After pulling out the archers and supplies they were defending the city. It's like pulling out a tiger's teeth. When the time comes, won't the grandchildren who are cowering in the city be slaughtered by us? ”

"What's more!" Duan Peng took a deep breath and glanced at the sun falling in the west. He smiled mysteriously and said, "What's more, if the four gates are tight, the King of Jin will definitely send other troops in the city to support the four gates." When the time comes, the inner defense of the city will be empty, and it will be time for our 700 paraglider soldiers to fight! ”

"Oh, it's okay to attack it. What a brilliant plan! Ha ha! At this moment, Duan Peng completely understood what the military advisor meant, creating conditions and attacking what it did not defend.

……

Hundreds of miles away, Jinju.

The sun is setting, and the sunset stains the sky and the earth red.

The red sunset sprinkled on the vast land. Dyed the whole world red.

In the dry woods, more than 10,000 soldiers gathered together, squatting around the big pit, looking at the brothers who were working hard and digging the ground, their eyes were full of curiosity.

"Everyone, dig harder!" Bending over, the old wolf standing in the pit sighed into the palm of his hand, raised the half of the horse lance in his hand, and dug it twice. shouted to the soldiers beside him.

Jingle bell.

The sound of weapons striking on the hard frozen ground was exceptionally crisp.

The soldiers who were digging the pit were sweating profusely. Raising the sword in his hand, he dug hard at the frozen ground.

Some of the soldiers had already taken off their shirts and went into battle shirtless in this great winter.

A shirtless soldier raised his spear in his hand and thrust it down with all his might.

There was a ding, and there was a crisp sound below.

"Hey, what is this?" The soldier was surprised for a moment, then quickly dropped the spear in his hand and crouched down. Start pulling the frozen soil with your hands.

"Dig!" When the others saw this, their faces were overjoyed. , hurriedly got up, squatted down, and began to dig with his hands.

Dozens of people, all in unison. After digging up the soil layer by two, a square stone slab was revealed.

"Look, old wolf!" When the soldiers saw the slate, they were overjoyed. Hurriedly turned his head and beckoned to the old wolf who was drinking water.

When the old wolf heard this, he hurriedly handed the water bladder to the soldiers beside him, and then leaned over and said, "I see, I see!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly got out of the way and let the old wolf in.

After seeing the neat square stone slabs, the old wolf was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "This is it!" ”

After laughing, the old wolf spat into the palm of his hand, rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward and began to buckle the gap in the slate with the blade of his knife, turned his head, and said to the brothers behind him, "Brothers, work harder, and buckle this slate apart." Inside is the passage! ”

"Let's go together!" When the soldiers heard this, they hurriedly went up and began to use their tools to knock on the cracks in the stone slabs.

Half an hour later, dozens of soldiers shouted a trumpet, and then worked together to push it in.

With a bang, the slate fell to the ground after being pushed half a foot forward.

In front of everyone, there was a deep passage that was five feet square and extremely dark.

"This is the passage?" A soldier rubbed his eyes, looked at the deep passage in front of him, and asked incredulously.

"Yes!" The old wolf breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, and stretched out his hand to point to the passage: "This passage has been passing outside the Yawai of Jinzhou County, in a Guanyin Hall three miles away. ”

When he first discovered this secret passage, the old wolf also took Xiao Wang Er in for a walk. Therefore, you know the exit of this secret passage very well.

However, when I thought of Xiao Wang Er, he was already buried deep in loess. The old wolf's eyes darkened, he lowered his head, shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed.

"Really, what are we waiting for, let's get in quickly!" When the soldier heard this, he was overjoyed, bowed his head, and walked inside.

"Look for death!" The old wolf, who was a little gloomy in his heart, was shocked when he heard this. Hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulled him back, and scolded angrily: "Do you want to die? ”

"What's wrong?" The soldier asked puzzled when he saw the old wolf's reproachful look.

The old wolf glared at him, then turned his head, looked at the deep passage, and said with palpitations: "I heard the old people in my hometown say that there are ghosts in places that have not been opened for a long time. As long as the living person enters, the soul will be ingested by the ghost, and death will not be superborn! ”

"What then?" When the soldier heard this, his face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly took a step back and asked in horror.

"Wait, wait for the ventilation, let's go in again!" The old wolf glanced at the passage, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "The old people say that the body of a ghost is very light, and as long as it is blown by the wind, it will die. So, ventilate it, and when all the ghosts inside are dead, it'll be fine! ”

"Oh!" When the soldier heard this, he suddenly realized and nodded. He turned his head, glanced at the deep hole, thought for a moment, pursed his lips, and blew towards the hole.

"What are you doing here?" The old wolf looked blankly at the soldier who was blowing into the cave, and asked puzzledly.

"Didn't you say, General, that ghosts are afraid of the wind? There are so many of us, blowing air into it together, doesn't the ghost die faster? The soldier shook his head and said like an old pedant.

Hearing this, the old wolf groped his chin, thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up, and he said approvingly to the little soldier: "It makes sense!" ”

Turning his head, he beckoned to the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him: "Come on, come on, let's blow air together!" ”

So, for the next period of time.

In the dry, dense woods. The black-pressed soldiers gathered around the big pit, in groups of a hundred. Under the command of the old wolf, he jumped into the pit in turn, stared, puffed up his strength, and blew towards the mouth of the hole.

Half an hour later, the soldiers were blown white, their eyes were white, and their mouths were dry.

"Old wolf, it's okay now!" A soldier asked weakly with his eyes blackened with exhaustion.

"Up!" After gesticulating, the old wolf took the lead in getting in.

Behind him, a long line. Like poisonous snakes in a hole, they all got into it.

……

Half an hour later, Wang Xirang led the army after a long journey and finally arrived here.

It's just that I forgot to look at it. I saw that under the cold moonlight, relatives in the wilderness. Only the city in the distance was solemn in the middle of heaven and earth, and the rest did not even have a single figure.

"What about people?" Wang Xirang rubbed his eyes, opened his mouth wide, looked at him in amazement, and asked puzzledly.

"General, there's a hole there!" At this moment, the soldiers in the woods, on horseback, rushed over. After jumping off the horse, he ran to Wang Xirang, pointed to the woods on one side, and said in surprise: "It seems to be a secret passage!" ”

"Secret passage?" Wang Xirang was taken aback, turned his head, and glanced at the silent woods in the night. In a hurry, he patted the war horse under his crotch and walked towards the woods: "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”

The group, after following Wang Xirang to the woods. They all gathered at the mouth of the cave. The probe probed his head and looked inside.

"There are still a large number of footprints on the ground, which should have been left by the old wolf!" Liu Sanbiao, who was standing outside the big pit, looked at the dense footprints at the entrance of the cave by the moonlight, and after analyzing it for a while, he turned his head and said to Wang Xirang: "If the last general expected it to be true, the old wolves should have entered this secret passage!" ”

"You mean, this secret passage leads directly to the city of Jinju?" Wang Xirang frowned and thought about it, and heard another meaning in Liu Sanbiao's words. Turning his head, he looked at Liu Sanbiao and said.

"Yes!" Liu Sanbiao nodded, condensed his gaze, looked at the footprints, and smiled: "Moreover, the exit of this secret passage should not be far from the mansion!" The last general guessed that the old wolf should want to directly capture the county order, and then force the guard to surrender! ”

"But......" Wang Xirang listened, not only was he not happy. Instead, he said with a worried face: "There are 20,000 defenders in the city, and they are still elite soldiers. The old wolf and their 10,000 people went in, didn't they fall into the net? What's more, the guards of Jinju may not be coerced by the old wolf. It is very likely that he will directly order the killing of the county commander. Afterwards, put the blame on the old wolf, and you can clear up the relationship! ”

"What then?" When Liu Sanbiao heard this, he was taken aback, raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and asked worriedly: "Aren't the old wolves very dangerous?" ”
