Chapter 153 Defend Hu County
Although the local tyrants and squires were relieved, they did not dare to be presumptuous at all, and a rich merchant stood up and said: "General, you were tired of traveling last night, as a local rich businessman, I have decided to donate 10,000 taels of silver to you in my own name!" ”
Other local tyrants and wealthy businessmen also said! This made the blind man happy, and said: "Since you have a heart, then you have to work for everyone!" ”
But the blind man changed his words and said: "It's just that we still have to abide by the wartime regulations, and you will be closed at home these days, and if you find anyone who forcibly breaks into the city gate, you will be killed!" ”
When the local tyrants and squires heard the word 'killing', they all trembled, and said one after another: "General, let us be at home, but you also have to forgive us, after all, we also rely on transportation to make money, if we stay at home, life will not be able to go on!" ”
The blind man smiled: "I understand you very well on this, so I promise you that after three days, you will definitely be allowed to pass normally!" ”
When everyone heard the blind man's reply, their psychology was like taking a reassuring pill, the money was paid, and the time was clear, and the local tyrants and squires retired one after another!
The guards of the national capital city are Yangyun's forces, Yangyun will definitely not give up, when it was found out that there were only 10,000 troops stationed in Huxian, Yangyun sent 20,000 troops to requisition, because Yangyun had just lost the battle, and the army lost more than half, so it was necessary to recruit new troops, and to defend against the forces in the south, and also to defend against the forces in the north, so at most 20,000 troops could only be drawn out for garrison!
When the 20,000 city guards were stationed outside Huxian, the blind man's eyes began to shine. There is still a day and a half to go, and his army of 60,000 can enter here, and when the time comes, he can definitely wipe out this army in one pot!
It is simply impossible for 20,000 troops to attack a tightly garrisoned county town with 10,000 troops.
"Ten rules around it. Five will attack, and twice will fight! Although this ancient precept is not very complete, it can indeed be counted in this way when the equipment of the enemy and the enemy is the same!
It's just that Yang Yun estimates that he will only let the 20,000 troops take the lead, in case the cavalry of Huxian can directly insert into Yidu. I didn't want to attack Huxian immediately!
The blind man stood at the head of the city and watched the enemy's 20,000 troops stationed ten miles from the county seat, and knew that the enemy army did not want to attack at all, but only to prevent his cavalry from attacking Yidu, so to speak. Then this battle is easy to fight, since you don't want to fight, you know the defense. Then I might as well give it a try, and just try the strength of these 20,000 troops!
The blind man led 5,000 cavalry out of the north gate and attacked the 20,000 troops stationed outside the city for half a circle, because it was half a circle around the city. Therefore, even if they suffer a loss, the cavalry can rush back to the county seat with the advantage of speed without taking too much damage!
The enemy saw that there were cavalry attacking the battalion. The crossbowmen prepared one after another, and the blind man immediately asked the cavalry to slow down, these five thousand war horses are all Dawan horses, if they rush over in a daze, they will definitely be shot to death, anyway, this time they are just here to explore the reality, there is no need to really attack the camp!
So the cavalry circled around the camp and within range of the crossbows, and the cavalry did not attack. The guards of the national capital did not attack, and watched the cavalry wander around the camp!
Circled around the enemy camp two or three times. The blind man saw that this force was doing a very good job of defense, so he gave up his intention to attack!
Then he led the army back to Huxian and began to garrison the city gate!
A day and a half passed in a flash, and the follow-up army of 60,000 had arrived, because it was a forced march, and it was already dark when they entered the city, so the blind man let them rest for one night first, and then attack the enemy's 20,000 army tomorrow!
In the middle of the night, a scout came to report that "the enemy army has withdrawn to Yangsong County!" ”
This annoyed the blind man, the enemy army entered the county seat, so it was not easy to exterminate these troops, and with the grain stored in the county town, they could sit back and relax for a few years.
It's just that the task that Li Yao gave to the blind man has been completed, and the enemy army has entered the county town to station, which proves that there is no offensiveness, which can make the troops wait for work!
The blind man was not reconciled, he wanted to see if he could pass through Yangsong County and go straight to the royal capital. Although he knew that it was useless to go straight to the royal capital, and it was impossible to occupy the national capital with 50,000 defenders with his 50,000 defenders, but the blind man wanted to take this opportunity to see if it was possible to penetrate the royal capital directly at that time!
The blind man passed through the city of Yangsong County with five thousand cavalry in the early morning of the next day, but the blind man was not too far from Yangsong County, because the blind man was calculating the time, he needed at least four hours to return calmly, he was waiting for time now, if the city guards stationed in Yangsong County did not come out after four hours, then the possibility of cavalry going straight to the royal capital would be there!
The troops stationed in Yangsong County also began to quarrel at this time, and the adjutant general Shi Rang said: "There are 5,000 cavalry passing through Yangsong County, and the target is obviously the national capital, do we need to go out of the city to cut off their back road?" ”
The main general Lu Duo said: "5,000 cavalry want to attack the national capital, this is tantamount to a fool's dream, I suspect that these 5,000 cavalry is a decoy, after the report of the spies, now there are 60,000 troops stationed in Huxian County, the enemy's strength is three times ours, as long as we go out of the city to meet the enemy, the enemy will definitely take the opportunity to attack us, and then we will not even be able to defend Yangsong County!" And we are foot soldiers, what do we use to cut off the rear of the opponent's 5,000 cavalry? Cavalry is a natural infantry nemesis, when fighting in the field, we only need to rush over in a daze, and we will be scattered, so let's still defend Yangsong County and wait for the Yangyun Governor to send an army to support us! ”
After listening to the words of the main general Lu Duo, the deputy general Shi Rang also said hatefully: "It's a pity that we don't have cavalry, otherwise they will definitely look good!" ”
At this time, the main general Lu Duo sneered and said: "I observed when the five thousand cavalry were wandering around outside our camp the day before yesterday, these horses are all authentic Dawan horses, compared with the horses of our Yiguo, our horses are beyond reach!" Even if there are cavalry, they can't even catch up, let alone fight! ”
Adjutant General Shi Rang said angrily: "Then can we only watch the enemy shouting in front of our eyes?" It's so demoralizing! ”
The main general Lu Duomu said: "There is no way to hurt morale, you tell them, if they don't want to die, they can defend the city, don't say anything about going out of the city to meet the enemy!" ”
The adjutant general was helpless, the main general had spoken, and the adjutant general could only execute, so he told the soldiers stationed in the city guards to defend the city well, and whoever dared to go out of the city to meet the enemy would be dealt with by military law!
