Chapter 87 besieged the city and cut off the water to plot a strange plan
Tai Shici was about to collect his troops, and he looked back when he heard the voice. Under the bright red firelight, I saw the young general Xu Sheng, leading two thousand sailors to rush down from the Huai River.
They shouted and released the boat along the water, and threw the blazing torches towards the misty ship of the Yuan army, and in an instant, the ignited ones went straight to the Yuan army to kill.
It turned out that Xu Sheng was extremely smart, and he was able to receive Hua Fei's order. Thinking to himself, there is Tai Shi Ci leading the elite cavalry to pursue on the land route, and his own is a naval army, so he must give full play to the strengths of the naval army.
And the Ru River and the Huai River are connected. It is also self-sufficient, from north to south, from west to east. All the way is a smooth trend, if you can go down the river in time to cut off the enemy's retreat. Don't believe that those thieves can still fly across the Huai River with their baggage?
Therefore, he was constantly leading the navy, regardless of the battle on land, but only rushing at full speed in the water. Finally, when night fell, along the north bank of the Huai River, we arrived at the Yingshui Stream.
He could hear it in the northwest wind, and the fighting on the shore was loud. Naibian sent people ashore to inquire about the news, and ordered the troops to stop their ships at the upper reaches of the river, and prepare more torches to prepare for a surprise victory.
Under his plan, the sailors took advantage of the enemy's defenselessness to throw fire into the enemy's ships, attracting Yuan Shujun's ships to the end. In the thick smoke and flames, the enemy soldiers shouted and scooped water to extinguish the fire.
But he didn't prevent Xu Sheng's water army from ringing in the bangzi, and thousands of arrows were fired together. After only a few rounds of volleys, Yuan Shujun fell into the water with arrow wounds in the midst of a roar of pain.
Seeing that the two armies were about to be handed over, Xu Sheng threw his bow and shouted: "Prepare for melee combat, those who surrender will not be killed!" Behind him, thousands of troops responded in unison, abandoning their bows and guns, and jumping onto the enemy ship.
Under the chaos of Yuan Shujun's army, their morale was lost, and they fell to their knees and surrendered. Only Chen Lan and Le were the two generals, leading the guards to fight to the death. The battle lasted only a few moments before ending with Xu Sheng's complete victory.
Xu Sheng commanded the sailors, quickly seized the equipment and boats, and watched the prisoners extinguish the fire and save the boats. In this battle, he first collected more than 30 enemy ships in the south of Fubo County, and after extinguishing the fire, he collected more than 20 ships.
A total of more than 50 ships were collected from the enemy's ordinary 100 people. Such ships are not warships, but the cost of one must also cost more than 100,000 yuan. Xu Sheng's seizure was converted into nearly six million dollars, which was really a windfall.
And the harvest is not just a meagre six million dollars. Because the back road was cut off by him, the enemy's 3,000 war horses, except for a few losses, were all collected by Tai Shici and others.
In addition, the Yuan Shu army that crossed the river and robbed it this time was almost wiped out. The captives alone captured more than 3,000 people, and even captured ordinary leather armor, swords, shields, spears, bows and arrows and countless other instruments.
At dawn, Hua Fei was on the east bank of Rushui to the east of Pingyu, and received Tai Shici and Xu Sheng back. After hearing about their battle, I couldn't help but be amazed!
It must be known that this battle between Xu Sheng and Tai Shici, in addition to the above-mentioned achievements, also recaptured the materials and cattle urgently needed by Huafei's forces.
What made Hua Fei feel even more commendable was that Xu Sheng, who was seventeen years old in this battle, had already shown his talent for commanding the navy. Its wealth can be said to be immeasurable!
In autumn, on September 6, Hua Fei saw his main force and gathered in the east of Pingyu. Then he took advantage of the situation to command the whole army and approached Pingyu County.
At this time, its total strength had reached more than 34,000 people. It's just that it hasn't been reorganized. Hua Fei saw in his own hands, plus Gong Du's original more than 300 war horses, the total number of war horses has reached, more than 3,700 horses.
Then he ordered Tai Shici to select people who were good at cavalry and archery in the whole army, and expand the cavalry unit to 3,700 people. He also ordered Xu Sheng to select the soldiers who knew how to use the water and expand the water army to 3,700 people.
In the end, he divided the remaining soldiers into six parts. Ordered the original generals and the newly descended Gong Du and Zhang Demei and Wood to lead the command. Each elite soldier numbered 3,700 men.
The rest were all included in the Chinese army, which amounted to 4,400 people. Because Zhang Demei and Wood were far away in Xiping, their two troops were temporarily commanded by the 100-person reserve officers under Hua Fei.
And Hua Fen, who was frightened and suffered some skin injuries, was received by Xu Sheng's army. led his brother Elfang to cross Rushui to the west and return to Shenyang County.
Lu Su was ordered to use the fastest speed to carry out the work of caring for the people and the internal affairs and people's livelihood according to the officials in Paiyang and other counties.
After everything was arranged, Hua Fei led the army to personally pacify the city and recruit He Yi. However, He Yi thought that he still had a strong city to defend, and saw that Hua Fei had few soldiers, so he refused to surrender.
Hua Fei ordered Wu Xu to unify his subordinates and block the south of Pingyu County. Ordered Xu Sheng to lead the water army in Rushui and resist the west. He also ordered Liu Pi and Gong Du to resist the east of Pingyu and cut off the water source of the Honghe River.
In the end, Tai Shici and the Chinese army were stationed in the north of Pingyu County. More than 30,000 troops, forming a situation of encirclement on all sides, surrounded Pingyu County in one fell swoop.
He Yi saw that Hua Fei was surrounded on all sides, and shouted above the city tower: "Hua Pifu, but he will defend the city." Its strength is only more than 30,000, while we have more than 20,000. He wanted to cut off Lao Tzu's water source, but he never thought that Lao Tzu had his own water well available in the city. ”
Screaming, he stopped his neck slightly, 'Goo! He swallowed his saliva and continued to wave his hand and shouted: "And since ancient times, it has been a siege of the city. If he comes to storm Pingyu County, he will be asking for his own death! Hmph, let's just hold on to the city, and sit back and see what he can do with me? ”
After shouting to boost his morale, he hurriedly ordered more than 20,000 Yellow Turban troops in the city to refuse to defend them. Ready, I want to fight with Hua Fei to break the net.
Hua Fei heard it under the city, and his rampant screams smiled slightly. Self-pay: "As a modern person, how could Lao Tzu not know that the siege of the city is underneath?" Today, let you, the ancients, take a look at Lao Tzu's methods! ”
He ordered his troops to collect excrement, hay, wet wood, and other things. and ordered Wu Xu's department to prepare wet wipes to cover his face. He also ordered people to shout again under the city to inform the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city.
"Our army has good intentions and will inform you one last time. If so, there will be those who will not be able to stand the offensive of our army, but they can abandon their weapons and surrender outside the city. Our army treats prisoners preferentially and will never harm them. This matter can be proved by Gong Du Liu Pi and his subordinates! ”
And after Wu Xu got the order, he knew that this sinister adult must be designing He Yi again. Then he ordered the army to follow the order. As expected, after half a day of preparation.
After Hua Fei finished performing the tactics of besieging the city and cutting off the water, shouting and attacking the heart. On the afternoon of 6 September, an offensive was officially launched against Pingyu County.
He first ordered the sergeant to die in the north of Pingyu County. Firewood and other flammable materials were burned, and they were sprinkled in it, and the foul-smelling excrement was stinking.
In an instant, in the west wind, the foul-smelling smoke rose into the sky. directly blocked the scorching autumn sun, and followed the northwest wind, and continued to go towards the city cover of Pingyu County.
He Yi was shocked when he saw this, and pointed to the north and jumped to his feet and scolded: "Hua Pifu! You dare not come and attack the city, and you should do such shameless things. You will not die well. Ahem......"
He Yi only scolded twice, and then choked on the smoke that followed the wind. He only felt a foul smell in the hot smoke, pouring directly into his mouth. In an instant, he was choked on the river and the sea, and he almost turned his back on his back.
At this moment, he suddenly heard that hundreds of people were shouting from the east, north, and west: "Brothers in the city, don't bury He Yi with you!" Washington Jun treats the surrendered soldiers well, we are the ones who just surrendered to the Mansion King. This smoke will be endless, so get out of the city and surrender! Don't give your life in vain......"
He Yi was furious, he never imagined that at this time, Hua Fei was still using the temptation of survival on his subordinates! However, this is just the beginning.
He was in a state of anger when he suddenly saw countless bright red torches rising into the sky in the thick smoke from the north! Drawing a thrilling trace for him, he threw it straight into the city.
When He Yi saw this, he was so shocked that the hair on his whole body stood up like a hedgehog! It's the crisp autumn season, but it's also the time when the weather is dry. He never imagined that Hua Fei cut off his water source, not just because he didn't want him to drink water!
He knew that this time he was completely finished. If he were to get water to put out the fire, he would have no water to drink. But if he doesn't put out the fire, then today, I'm afraid he will have to be cremated by this Hua Fei! This is clearly that he wants to play to death!
Just when He Yi wanted to cry without tears, something suddenly happened between heaven and earth, something unexpected to Hua Fei.
