Chapter 348: Yi Zhai pulls out the flag
Han Xin told the leading general: "Wait a minute, I will send an army to lure the Zhao army, and the Zhao army will inevitably break out of the city to pursue us; You will take advantage of this time to quickly enter the enemy's city, pull out its military flag, and plant all the banners of our Han army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So that when the enemy comes back, there will be chaos! ”
Note that this move suddenly seems very simple and ingenious, but the key is not in the plan of "Yizhai Pulling the Flag", but in the fact that Zhao Jun will actually dispatch the whole army according to Han Xin's design! Why did Han Xin guess that the enemy would definitely attack with all his troops? What if the other side did not attack at all, or left some ambush soldiers?
This is very good - this is called anticipating the enemy first!
Being able to predict Zhao Jun's movements depends on two points: Han Xin knows Chen Yujun's achievements in the past two years very well. Chen Yu crisscrossed the territory of Hebei at this time, no one was invincible, like the god of war, in fact, it was not that Chen Yu's army was strong, but that Zhang Er was too unbeatable. Therefore, this is the phenomenon that Li Zuoche's proposal was not adopted, because Chen Yu felt very good about himself at this time. The second point is Han Xin's initiative to send a lure plan, and Han Xin is very confident in his lure plan. Let's see how Han Shin lured the enemy?!
In fact, we have analyzed the famous Chinese wars before Han Xin, whether it is Sun Wu, the originator of the art of war, or the later Sun Bin, Pang Juan, etc., or including the later famous generals Bai Qi and Meng Tian, etc., they all like to use conspiracy, yang conspiracy, and surprise soldiers; Until Han Shin, war became more and more like acting, and the drama of war became more and more sufficient. This is Han Xin's feints and lures of war to the extreme! And these feints are enough to confuse the enemy's commander and make it impossible to correctly judge where the opponent's real goal is.
After sending out a sneak attack force, Han Xin asked someone to cook a meal in the camp, and the soldiers thought they were going to have a big meal, and they were all very happy. Han Xin said to everyone: "Don't worry, today we will destroy Zhao Guo and eat again!" "Isn't this a trick on everyone? Everyone doesn't believe it, how can this hungry stomach fight? Don't eat, go to war first, and eat after victory, this is a reverse thinking! Great anti-war common sense! Han Xinbing, it's so weird!
Han Xin also said: "Zhao has already occupied favorable terrain and built a defensive fortress, if he does not see the banner of our general, he will think that we are a small force, and he will not attack us with all his might." When the time comes, we will not be able to capture the enemy's city, and we will be forced to retreat. So, Han Xin arranged for 10,000 troops to start acting, what are these 10,000 people doing? Instead of attacking, but crossing the "Mianmanshui" at the mouth of the well (this is a river, it should not be too big), these 10,000 people did not advance after crossing the river, but lined up by the river!
This play is outrageous! The art of war says that when the enemy crosses the river, he must attack him halfway. However, the Zhao army did not pay attention to the Han army at all, so he did not implement the strategy of attacking half-crossing. The art of war also says that a battle with a back to the water is a place of death, because in case of defeat, there is nowhere to run. Therefore, Han Xin's "backwater array" is a dead battle and a taboo in the art of war. When Zhao Jun saw all this in the city, he was laughing - this stupid hat is impatient to live, and he doesn't need to be so exaggerated if he wants to die.
When it was dawn, Han Xin continued to act, he called the soldiers to make a big fanfare, and raised the banner of the general Han Xin, telling the enemy that the commander of the Han army was among the foolish troops who were "lined up against the water". As the troops advanced, they played gongs and drums, as if they were afraid that the enemy would not know that they were attacking the other. The one who sings the opera is definitely the one who sings the opera, and this drama is sung too realistically......
Zhao Guoren was really obedient this time, seeing that the other party's general was in the camp, and he came to fight with gongs and drums, he didn't even take his brothers seriously, which was too ostentatious. Chen Yu and his generals were so angry that they couldn't do it, so the whole army went out of the city, preparing to capture Han Xin alive, and arrest the kid and beat him up. The two sides are fighting, and this time it is a real fight, but Han Xin has too many eyes in his heart, and it is not real at all; The fight was real, but Han Xin didn't want to fight to the death, and he didn't want to divide the winner like this, the reason is very simple - Zhao Guo has 200,000 generals, and he only has more than 10,000 people, so he can't afford to take this risk.
After a long fierce battle, Han Xin and Zhang Er began to command the retreat, and deliberately threw all the flags they brought all the way to the ground, making it seem that the troops had been defeated and fled. As a result, the troops fled frantically and fled to the edge of the "Mianmanshui", and there was still a force waiting for the Han army at the water's edge, which was the army that had just begun to line up at the water's edge. Zhao Jun was happy when he saw it, okay, you still want to escape, and if you escape again, you will go to the river, you can't escape if you want to; As long as you chase quickly, the enemy will not have time to get on the boat, and you will have to fall into the river to feed the king. In the battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu relied on fast horses to pursue, forcing more than 100,000 Han troops to fall into Suishui and drown. Chen Yu saw that he was going to repeat Xiang Yu's brilliant achievements again, and as soon as the banner waved, Zhao Jun began to chase frantically!
When the fleeing Han army and the waterside ambush troops merged together, the Han army immediately regained its strength, and those who had no weapons picked up their weapons, and those who fled in embarrassment just now immediately regained their confidence. Everyone lined up with their backs, knowing that it would be a dead end to escape again, so they waited for Zhao Jun to come over and fight with them. In fact, at this time, the Han army had a third option, which was surrender, but unfortunately Han Xin's troops did not seem to have the concept of surrender, not only did they not surrender, but they were more courageous than just now......
When Zhao Jun reached the river, he found that everything was different from what he had imagined, and the enemy did not continue to flee, nor did he give up resistance, but suddenly became extremely tenacious! The 200,000 army fought around the Zhao army, and they fought for a long time, but they couldn't break through the opponent's defense line. This time it was Chen Yu's turn to be surprised, he didn't expect this army to be so strong in combat! The two sides fought for their lives on the edge of the "Mianmanshui", and the battle lasted until noon, and there was no winner or loser.
