Chapter 86: Deng Yue calculates Xu Da

Dong Qing and Lu Zhen competed against each other, and their faces were red, Deng Yue was irritable when he heard it, and immediately slapped the handsome case, and the two saw Deng becoming more and more angry, and immediately quieted down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Deng Yu glanced at everyone and said in a condensed voice: "Everyone, our army is far from the point of exhaustion, why should we mess with ourselves!" There are Hu Tongfu and Deng Boyi to defend Ancheng, which is as stable as Mount Tai, and our army has no worries about the back road. And Liuhe and Quanjiao have been divided by the Zhu army, it doesn't hurt to give up, as for Chuzhou City, our army has paid a huge price for it, and it must not be easily given up! ”

"Don't give up easily!" Lu Zhen muttered secretly, and then asked: "Marshal, the Zhu army occupies Jiancheng, and the strength is twice that of our army, even if our army has the intention to capture Chuzhou City, it is powerless!" ”

When Deng Yu heard this, he did not answer immediately, but tapped his fingers on the handsome case, and pondered on the map of Chuzhou within a radius of 100 miles, about half an hour later, Deng Yu's mind flashed, and he seemed to have an idea, only to hear him laugh loudly: "The strategy to break the enemy, you have said it just now!" ”

When Lu Zhen heard this, his eyes widened and he didn't know what to do, and then he lowered his head and pondered, very distressed, Li Ke, who was the first in the left column, saw this, and said with a smile: "The handsome man has a clever plan, why bother to play tricks on the national treasure." ”

Deng Yu shook his head slightly, and then explained: "Just now, the national treasure suggested dividing the army into two parts, one to entangle the Zhu army in Chuzhou City, and the other to secretly rescue Lai'an and other cities, I think this strategy is very good!" ”

When Li Ke heard this, his mind was spinning, and he quickly figured out the key, and Lu Zhen didn't seem to think how clever his strategy was, so he asked suspiciously: "Don't make fun of me, such a clumsy strategy, how can Xu Da not see through it?" ”

Deng Yu smiled slightly and continued to explain: "As the saying goes, 'great wisdom is foolish', although this strategy is simple, it is quite useful. If Xu Datan heard the arrangement of our army, he would definitely be able to see through the intention of our army to divide troops. At that time, he will inevitably persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to lead his troops out of the city, one to intercept the soldiers and horses left behind by our army, and the other to cover up with our army's reinforcements. ”

"On the way from Chuzhou to Lai'an, there is a dense forest, called Fenghai Forest, which covers a vast area and can ambush more than 10,000 troops. At this time, in the middle of summer, there has been no rain for many days, the weather is dry, and the southeast wind has blown rapidly in the past few days. ”

Deng Yu said a plan, except for Li Ke in the big tent, everyone was shocked, and after pondering for a while, they praised the plan.

Deng Yu cast an inquiring look at Li Ke, and saw that Li Ke recognized this strategy, so he gathered the generals to arrange, and ordered Lu Zhen, Qi Hong, and Han Meng to lead two thousand troops to set off that night, and marched in the direction of Wanglai'an, and after arriving at Fenghai Forest, Lu Zhen led a group of men and horses to ambush in the middle of Fenghai Forest, and Qi Hong and Han Meng each led a group of men and horses to arrange sulfur flames, nitrate hay and other fire-causing things on both sides of the forest road.

Deng Yu and Dong Qing led the remaining soldiers and horses, and invited battles outside the city day and night. The plan is arranged, probably, the generals are ordered, and quickly go back to make arrangements.

At the second watch of the night, the sound of the collision of soldiers and armor suddenly sounded in the big village of the broken army, and then, several people and horses sneaked out of the village, looking at the direction of An, Zhu Jun scouts heard the news, and hurriedly rushed back to the city to report to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da.

Xu Da heard the news, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Superior, the enemy army will know later, and it will be too late to divide troops to rescue Lai'an at this time!" ”

As soon as Xu Da's words fell, he suddenly heard the soldiers report again, saying that most of the broken army outside the city came to invite the battle, Xu Da heard it, and was even more sure of what he thought, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Superior, this must be the enemy's intention to send troops to block our army, lest we see through their strategy, send troops to cover up and kill, and take the position, I have a plan to wipe out the enemy army!" ”

Xu Da had a bright smile on his face, since he fought against the Broken Army, he was deflated at Li Ke's hands again and again, which was an indelible shame for Xu Da who pursued a complete victory, at this time, he needed a big victory to prove his strength!

In terms of military arrangements, Zhu Yuanzhang has always trusted Xu Da, and Xu Da has lived up to Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, and has always reported frequent successes.

At the moment, Zhu Yuanzhang made arrangements according to Xu Da's strategy and divided the army into two parts, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses, Guo Xing, Guo Ying and others will be killed from the south gate, Huanute Mudai led 3,000 soldiers and horses from the west gate, and Xu Da led the remaining soldiers to defend the city.

After the battle out of the city, except for the men and horses of Huanute Mudai who stayed behind to fight with the broken army, the men and horses led by Zhu Yuanzhang did not have to be entangled with the broken army outside the city, just rushed to kill, marched quickly in the direction of An, caught up with the retreating reinforcements of the broken army, and wiped them out in one fell swoop.

Half an hour later, the two cities in the west and south of Chuzhou sounded the earth-shattering drums, and then, the two armies from the west and south of the two gates of the mighty slaughter.

Deng Yu saw that the Zhu army was surging, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly gathered his troops and horses and lined up to resist. After the two Zhu armies left the city, Huanute Mudai led 3,000 soldiers and horses to rush straight into battle, while Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to kill in the direction of Hui'an.

Facing the Zhu army that divided his troops to attack, Deng Yu pretended to be shocked, and hurriedly ordered Dong Qing to divide his troops to entangle the Zhu soldiers and horses killed by Ximen.

Dong Qing led the order to attack, rode his horse and flew up, the nine-ring knife flew up and down, and killed the subordinates of Huanute Mudai who came to intercept them one by one, and then chased straight after the Zhu soldiers and horses who were killed from the south gate.

Xu Da, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, saw it, smiled coldly, and then ordered a cavalry that had been prepared in the city for a long time to go out of the city to intercept and kill.

Dong Qing didn't chase far before he was intercepted by the Zhu cavalry who came out of the city, and Deng Yu's men and horses were entangled by Huanut Mudai's 3,000 soldiers and horses.

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang divided the 5,000 soldiers and horses into three parts, Guo Ying led a soldier and horse as the front army, Zhu Yuanzhang led the middle army, Guo Xing was the rear army, and the three armies were separated by five miles, and they pursued non-stop.

After chasing for about three hours, Zhu soldiers and horses came to a dense forest, only to see that this dense forest was vast and endless, and only a four-horse avenue extended to the depths of the dense forest.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this terrain, his heart suddenly tightened, this forest is so vast and dense, if he uses fire attack here, even thousands of troops and horses will be burned to ashes!

Zhu Yuanzhang's brain was turning, and he summoned two personal guards, explained this and that, and then asked them to go to Guo Ying and Guo Xing to report.

It didn't take long for a Zhu Yuanzhang guard to catch up with Guo Ying and shouted: "General Guo, there is an order from above, the dense forest here is full of trees, and it is necessary to prevent the enemy from using fire attacks, so you should march cautiously!" ”

When Guo Ying heard the order, he immediately ordered to slow down the pace of the march, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, a scout suddenly came in front of him to report that he had found a broken army and horses three miles ahead.

When Guo Ying heard that he had found the traces of the Broken Army, he was immediately anxious, and he couldn't take Zhu Yuanzhang's advice into account, and immediately ordered a quick chase and killing.
