Chapter 1028 Cao Pi's Thoughts
When the bloody battle in Jicheng was fierce, Pang Tong and Kebineng led tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry and tens of thousands of remnants of the Eighteenth Army, and had already entered Daijun from Shanggu County, and then entered Zhuo County from the direction of Daijun.
When they entered the vicinity of Zhuoxian, it was already the beginning of May, and at this time, the news that Jinyiwei came from the direction of Jicheng was still in the bloody battle, and Jicheng had not yet been lost, which made Pang Tong overjoyed.
In other words, they have already won half of this battle.
The remaining half depends on your luck.
If you can keep Zhang Liao and the main force of the four guards of Great Wei in Youzhou, not to mention Youzhou, even if it is Jizhou, I'm afraid Cao Wei will not be able to hold it.
The northwest direction of Zhuo County, about 50 miles away.
On a hillside.
Tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry troops going south are stationed here, the hooves of horses are neighing, the voices of people are boiling, and the battle flags are flying, showing a majestic momentum, and the edge is close to Zhuoxian.
"Why can't this great river and mountain accommodate our Xianbei clan?"
On the hill, Xianbei Khan Kebi can carry it with both hands, his burly body stands, his eyes look down at the world under the mountain, his expression is a little cold, the more he looks at his heart, the more sad and angry he is, and he can't help but howl angrily.
Their Xianbei tribe, in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, has always been an alien race in the grassland, and they have been the enemies of the Central Plains since ancient times, and they are not allowed in the Central Plains.
But he was really unwilling.
Why can they only survive in that barren grassland, and they are starved to death and frozen to death countless times every year.
And this Central Plains land, the land is fertile, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it can feed countless people, but why can't they tolerate the survival of their Xianbei people, every time they go south. All have to pay the price of countless warriors' lives.
"Great Khan, it's not that this great river and mountain can't tolerate you Xianbei people, it's that the Central Plains people can't tolerate you!" Pang Tong said lightly: "You don't have the ability to live peacefully with us, so naturally you won't be accommodated by the Central Plains!" ”
The Xianbei people are also because they survive on the grassland and are too aggressive, so they are not easy to land in the Central Plains. And as it should be.
"Chief of Staff Pang, are you Wu people unable to tolerate our Xianbei?"
Kebineng's eyes sank slightly, and he said pointedly.
"Dawu is tolerant of all rivers, anyone can tolerate it!" Pang Tong shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently: "It's just that you don't want to melt into my Dawu!" ”
"Just like the Karasuma tribe?" Kebineng smiled coldly: "Become your slave of Dongwu!" ”
"Huh!"
Pang Tong smiled and didn't answer, but his expression was obviously acquiescing, the Great Wu Dynasty has shown a domineering trend towards foreign races over the years, these foreign races. There is only surrender, or extermination.
"Report to the Chief of Staff, Zhuo County has been redeployed by the Wei army!"
A brocade guard spy came to report.
"Zhang Liao's reaction is very fast!"
When Pang Tong heard this, his eyes were slightly cold: "He sent troops south at this time, he should have known the news of the annihilation of Lejin's entire army, they want to keep Zhuo County, as long as they keep Zhuo County, it is equivalent to protecting their back road." It seems that they have already guessed the news that we are going to seize Zhuojun! ”
"So what do we do now?"
Kebineng frowned, and said coldly: "Pang Tong." I will never let the Xianbei warriors under my command fight a battle to storm the city for you Dongwu, firstly, we are cavalry, not good at siege battles at all, and secondly, even if we capture the city, there will be too many casualties. ”
"Great Khan rest assured, I understand your bottom line. I won't let Xianbei Erlang do the fierce battle to capture the city! ”
Pang Tong knew very well in his heart that Kebineng would never use his soldiers to attack the city.
This old fox and his Dongwu are actually only mutually beneficial, this time he can send troops south to seize Zhuojun to block the back of the Wei army, I am afraid it is already a limit, I want him to go to work hard for Dongwu. It's simply impossible.
"Luo Ming, you immediately check the strength of the Wei army and the leading generals stationed in Zhuo County!"
Pang Tongyi's phoenix eyes narrowed: "Zhang Liao now even if the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, he will attack Jicheng, he is not a person who gives up so easily, as long as he can take Jicheng, the Wei army is equivalent to sitting firmly in Youzhou, so his main force must be attacking Jicheng, and will not go south, there are not many troops occupying Zhuoxian, and the general who leads the troops will not be the main general of the four guards, it should not be difficult to deal with!" ”
"No!"
Luo Ming, who was in Jinyiwei, received the order and quickly dispatched his spies to find out the current situation in Zhuo County.
"Chief of Staff!"
At this time, Cao Xuan walked out of the barracks and walked up the hill.
"Commander Cao, how is the arrangement in Liangxiang?"
On the hill, Pang Tong squatted down and spread out the marching map in his arms on a boulder, he looked at the map carefully: "Zhuoxian is in the middle, Fan Yang and Gu'an are behind, once they retreat, good township is the key!" ”
"Chief of Staff, rest assured, the remnants of the Eighteenth Army, I have already been deployed in Liangxiang, with Liangxiang, a city where the north and south are passes, then their main force will go south, and they will all return here!" Cao Xingdao.
"Good!"
Pang Tong nodded, and then continued: "It's up to Jicheng now, as long as Commander Huang blocks it, and Commander Zu Mao's reinforcements go south in time to keep Jicheng, then we will block the 200,000 main force of the Wei army here!" ”
"Pang Tong, aren't you afraid that they will jump off the wall in a hurry?" Kebineng looked at the marching map, and suddenly asked: "If the Wei army's more than 200,000 troops force south, don't talk about you, even if all the warriors under my command are pressed up, they can't stop it!" ”
"Hahaha!"
When Pang Tong heard this, he laughed loudly, and said confidently: "I'm really not afraid of this, from Zhuojun to Youzhou in the south, the road is far away, the defense line is not short, their logistics will definitely not be able to support it, as long as we take Zhuo County, the wall is clear, and we don't fight with them head-on, he forces a step, we take a step back, before walking out of Zhuojun, it is enough to grind them to death!" ”
……
After sunset, night comes.
In the barracks of the Xianbei army, Pang Tong was still carefully studying the battle situation before bowing down to the sand table, of course, he was also waiting for news, waiting for news from Zhuoxian, the Wei army in Zhuoxian was a stake he had to pull out.
"Report!"
In the middle of the night, outside the camp, a voice finally sounded.
"Come in!"
"Report to the Chief of Staff. This is the current situation in Zhuo County! Luo Ming personally handed a file to Pang Tong.
"Cao Pi?"
Pang Tong opened the file, and a name came into his sight: "It turns out that Zhang Liao sent the soldiers and horses from Youzhou Port to the south, and their soldiers and horses were less than 20,000, only 18,000, which is good news!" ”
"Good news?"
Luo Ming didn't understand, and said suspiciously: "Chief of Staff." Even if the Wei army is now only 18,000 people, holding Zhuo County, and all our troops are thrown into it, it will take more than half a month to attack to be effective, is this good news? ”
"You're right, more than 18,000 people, holding the city, even if we invest all our troops and horses, we may not be able to attack it. But you're missing a little! ”
Pang Tong's eyes sparkled, pointed to the name of the main general of the Wei army, and said: "The key is that their main general is Cao Pi, who is Cao Pi, Cao Cao's second son, now he is just an inexperienced teenager, he is the best to deal with, and he Cao Pi is only a few years old." At such an age, he dared to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Cao Wei was really unpopular. Does he still think that everyone in the world is His Majesty of our Great Wu? Our Majesty was able to lead the army to defend Wu County when he was a teenager, although the city was like Mount Tai, but he personally went into battle, how much he paid, he was almost broken, I don't believe that a Cao Pi can have the ability of our Majesty. He is not as good as Cao Ang, the crown prince of Cao Wei, if I can't even deal with him, then I will be ashamed of His Majesty's trust in my Pang Tong. ”
"Chief of Staff, what do I need to do now?" Luo Ming said.
"You are mainly staring at the battle of Jicheng now, and the movements of Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses!"
Pang Tong said: "Within three days." I will take Zhuo County, as long as I take Zhuo County, Zhang Liao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will become turtles in the urn, even if they have wings, they will not escape! ”
"No!"
Luo Ming nodded and walked out.
Following.
Tens of thousands of Xianbei troops under the command of Pang Tong began to act, and one by one they were in full swing using straw to tie straw and cut wood.
"Chief of Staff Pang, is your method useful?"
Kebineng patrolled the camp, looked at it, and said: "This is too fake, even if it is indeed vague and impossible to see through under the night, but the city lord will only need to think about it, he can figure it out, we Xianbei does not have such a strong army, this is definitely fake." ”
"You are a veteran of the battlefield, of course you can hold it, but a young general who is flustered, can he be stable?"
A smile rose at the corner of Pang Tong's mouth: "If the lord of Cao Wei's side comes to defend the city, I won't use this trick, but it's a pity that they used a Cao Pi, a weak-crowned young man, can't I still scare him!" ”
"I've read your military book of the Thirty-six Strategies of Eastern Wu, this is called the Empty City Plan!" Kebineng said.
"No, it's called a scheming!"
Pang Tong said correctively.
He's gambling.
Bet that Cao Pi has no determination to fight to the death for Zhang Liao, as long as he has the slightest hesitation, he will selfishly withdraw his troops and give up Zhuoxian.
Night.
The sky was dark again, and around Zhuoxian, there was a quiet, and on the wall of the north city gate, a queue of Wei soldiers holding torches was training, carefully guarding the outside of the city.
"Is there anything strange outside the city?" Cao Pi was dressed in battle armor, his hand was on the hilt of his sword, and he walked up to the top of the city, looking at the secluded outside the city.
"Nope!"
A captain guarding the city shook his head and said, "General Cao, it has been quiet outside the city. ”
"Be careful!"
Cao Pi instructed: "Keep an eye on the northwest direction, the Wu army and Xianbei soldiers and horses will definitely come to attack the city, we must defend the city!" ”
"No!" The generals nodded.
Da Da Da Da !!!!
At this time, the sudden sound of horses' hooves knocked on the land of Zhuoxian, and the rhythmic sound was like thunder, and every beat made the soldiers in the city panic.
"Wu Jun?"
"No, it's a Xianbei cavalry!"
"Menacing!"
The sound of tens of thousands of horses' hooves outside the city, under the torches of one soldier and one handle, the light reflected half of the sky, and the momentum was rolling, as if it was going to crush Zhuoxian.
"Drumming Gathering!" Cao Pi can be regarded as having experienced a lot of battles, and he stabilized his mood for the first time and drank loudly.
"Knock Knock Knock !!"
The sound of drums sounded, and the Wei army in the city quickly went up to the city, lined up, and opened a defensive battle.
"Kill!"
The Xianbei cavalry under the city came violently, waving their spears and roaring in unison, like thunder, as if they were about to bombard the Wei army on the city wall.
"Who's in the city, answer quickly!"
The army stood in front of the city gate, and an elegant young soldier rode out, holding a battle flag in his hand, pointing at the Wei army in the city.
"A certain family is Cao Pi!"
Cao Pi stepped forward, faced the soldiers and horses outside the city, and said coldly: "With me Cao Pi here today, it's best to retreat quickly." ”
"It turned out to be the second prince of Cao Wei, Cao Zihuan, you are very good, a certain is Pang Tong, the chief of staff of the Great Wu Blood Wolf Legion, today I have 150,000 soldiers and horses here, vowing to break Zhuo County, if you are interested, within an hour, withdraw from Zhuo County, I can spare my life!" Pang Tong roared.
"150,000 soldiers?"
When Cao Pi heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile coldly, and there was a touch of contempt in his eyes, this Pang Tong really came with his mouth open, and now there are only 50,000 cavalry outside the city, how can there be 150,000 soldiers and horses.
If there were 150,000 soldiers and horses, he would not say a word, just turn around and leave.
Dada!!!!!!
However, at this moment, behind tens of thousands of cavalry, one after another figures appeared, overwhelming, without a shadow, and suddenly at a glance, it seemed that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were pressed against the city.
"How is this possible?"
Cao Pi's pupils contracted suddenly, a chill in his heart filled up, his blood and qi flowed backwards, and his body became extremely cold: "Didn't Zhang Wenyuan say that there are only Xianbei soldiers and horses, where did Xianbei come from so many soldiers and horses?" ”
"General Cao, how are we doing now?"
The Wei generals defending the city panicked, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, if they were crushed by this group of soldiers and horses, it was estimated that they would have been kept all night and had already been broken into the city by the enemy.
"Come on, put on the hourglass, in an hour's time, if the Wei army does not retreat, come to me to beat the drum and attack the city, and slaughter the Wei army, not a single one will be left!"
Pang Tong shouted, and the sound permeated the entire city wall, and several soldiers placed a large fire plate in the middle, and the light of the brazier was extremely bright, reflecting on the giant hourglass next to it.
"Bloodslaughter us?"
A little bit of an hourglass and sand leakage can make all the Wei troops on the city wall see clearly, and their faces are blue.
"Cao Zihuan, you only have an hour to think about it, and you can't wait for it!"
Pang Tong rode his horse directly back to the middle camp.
"General!"
"General!"
On the city wall, a pair of eyes looked at Cao Pi.
"How can Wu Jun and Xianbei soldiers and horses be so strong, what should I do?"
Cao Pi's heart suddenly became very flustered, he didn't think about the truth at all, his whole person's thoughts were now chaotic, his forehead was like cold sweat, his fists were clenched tightly, at this moment, he entered a dilemma.
Stubborn?
Or a retreat?
He gritted his teeth and didn't dare to make a decision for a long time.
If he holds on, he may not be able to hold it, and he is going to be here first, and he is not willing to fall here like this.
But withdrawing from the army is equivalent to giving up the back road of Zhang Liao and their hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, if this matter is transmitted back to the court, he will have to take off a layer of skin if he does not die.
"Even if I stick to it, I definitely won't be able to defend Zhuoxian County now!"
After Cao Pi struggled for most of the day, he suddenly gave himself a good reason.
He gritted his teeth, looked at the soldiers and horses outside the city, and suddenly his eyes became fierce: "This is all his Zhang Wenyuan's lack of anticipation, not my Cao Pi's fault, why do you want me Cao Pi to accompany him to the funeral, pass on my military order, retreat to the south, and retreat to Jizhou!"
