Chapter 39 Han Taoyan robbed the grain road all over the net, and cut Yongzhu up
It is said that Han Tao and Yan Shun led 5,000 elite soldiers, and the starry night passed through the path and bypassed the camp of Yongzhu and the two. The two led the army for another fifty miles, and it was dawn, and there was no Yongzhu sergeant patrolling everywhere, and there was a dense forest next to the road, so Han Tao said: "Zijing, I see that the trees here are luxuriant, and the ambush soldiers are among them, and it is not easy to notice. Why don't we two crouch here? Yan Shun looked around, and said: "This place is only fifty miles away from the enemy camp, and the food team of Yongzhu and Zhu will definitely be slack, very good!" ”
The two of them had made up their minds, so they laid down their troops and horses by the side of the road, and sent scouts to the front of the horses. The two waited in the forest for many days, and did not see the Yongzhu army food team coming, Yan Shunzheng was impatient, and the horse returned that there was a Yongzhu army food team thirty miles away. The two of them were busy with the sergeant and lurking in the forest.
After waiting for a short time, there were more than 1,000 Yongzhu sergeants and hundreds of carts coming. When the Yongzhu army was halfway through the dense forest, the Jingnan soldiers on both sides shouted in unison and came out with a clamour. Sergeant Yongzhu was shocked, and the military academy led by him was caught off guard and beheaded by Yan Shun. The sergeant immediately fled in all directions, and Han Tao told the sergeant to fight quickly and let one go.
Han Tao and Yan Shun led the army to fight for about half an hour, and they annihilated Sergeant Yongzhu. The sergeant was burning the Yongzhu army rations, and Han Tao said: "Zijing, if the two of us only rob the enemy of a batch of grain and grass, it will not show the ability of you and me." Why don't we find another place, and the sergeant will cut off Yongzhu's grain and grass again, how about it? Yan Shun smiled and said, "Boqian's words are very much in line with me. Han Tao saw that Yan Shun agreed, so he said: "Since this is the case, then you and I can quickly solve this place and find another place." ”
After that, Han Tao ordered the sergeant to take the grain and grass needed by his army and speed up the burning of grain and grass. After a few moments, the sergeant finished cleaning up, and the two led the army to retreat. The two led the army for more than 100 miles, and found a place where they could ambush the army, waiting for the Yongzhu grain team to come again.
However, he said that the grain officer waiting for the food team in the Yongzhu two-person camp did not arrive, and at first he thought that the grain team was out of schedule, so he didn't care. After waiting for a few days, but it still didn't come, I couldn't help but panic in my heart, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to investigate. When the sergeant had gone out of the camp and had traveled fifty miles, he saw a forest full of corpses, and all the grain wagons had been burned, and he hurried back to the grain officer. When the grain official heard the report, he did not dare to make a claim, and hurriedly reported it to Yu Yu and Zhu Bao. When Yonghong heard the report, he asked the grain officer: "How many days can the grain and grass in the camp be enough for the needs of the army?" The grain officer replied, "My lord, the grain and grass in the camp will be enough for the army for twenty days, and if some are saved, it will be used for one month." Yonghong groaned slightly and said, "You will save the use of grain and grass." ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Bao on the side hurriedly said: "No, there is still enough food and grass in the camp now, if there is less for the sergeants, there will be chaos in the camp." From here to the county town of Qiqi, you can release the grain within 15 days, or send someone back to relieve a batch of grain. When Yonghong heard this, he felt very reasonable, so he said to the grain officer: "You still send grain as before, and I will send someone to get grain." After that, Yonghong waved off the grain officer, and then sent the captain back to the grain to relieve the grain.
Let's say that Han Tao and Yan Shun led the army to ambush behind the Yongzhu camp, far away from the road, and only sent sergeants to scouts every day to scout the soldiers and horses on the road to move back and forth. The sergeant reported that there was a branch of more than 3,000 soldiers and horses on the road from the Yongzhu camp to the county town of Qiqi. After hearing this, Han Tao said, "I think that after ten days, there will be a grain team again." Zijing, you and I should prepare early. Yan Shun nodded yes. Han Tao also sent sergeants to look at the sentry in the direction of the county town every day.
The two waited for a few days, and the sergeant reported that a grain convoy had been sent out from the county town of Qiqi, and it would arrive tomorrow. Han Tao said to Yan Shun again: "Tomorrow, you and I will join the Yongzhu grain team, and you will not move first." I will fight with the enemy generals first, feint defeat and lure most of the enemy army to chase after me, and then you will lead the army to kill, first destroy the enemy's food and grass and then come to help me. The two of them had made up their minds, and they acted according to them.
The next day, Yonghong's lieutenant escorted the grain team to leave, when he suddenly heard a shout in front of him, and a branch of soldiers and horses came out. The captain was shocked and hurriedly led the army to meet him. The battle between the two sides lasted only a few moments, and the enemy retreated. The captain secretly thought, the previous time our army grain and grass were burned, this time it was defeated, isn't it a godsend and me, when I annihilate his army, the lord will have a reward. After thinking about it, the captain ordered hundreds of sergeants to march forward with grain and grass, and led most of his troops to chase after the defeated army.
The captain led the army for a while, and hundreds of sergeants still marched forward with grain and grass. Unexpectedly, another army came out of the roadside, and the sergeant looked at it, and there were about 3,000 people. The sergeants shouted in unison, "Hugh! So he abandoned his grain and grass and fled. Yan Shun saw that the soldiers of Yongzhu were scattered, and did not chase after them, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to burn the grain and grass first.
In other words, Han Tao feinted defeat and left, and the lieutenant of Yonghong's subordinates led the army to chase after him. As the two sides were walking away, a sergeant suddenly reported to Han Tao: "General, there is a flame rising in the rear." Han Tao looked back, and sure enough, a flame rose into the sky, thinking that Yan Shun had already succeeded. Han Tao immediately ordered the sergeant to turn around and chase the soldiers.
The captain led the army in pursuit, but the defeated army in front of him suddenly turned back to fight, and when he was caught off guard, he was rushed to front of him by Han Tao's fast horse, and stabbed under the horse with a lance in his hand. When the battle between the two sides was not long, Yan Shun also led the army to arrive, and the two sides attacked, and the Yongzhu sergeant could not resist the enemy, and the whole army broke and left. Han Yan's second general waved his army to cover up and kill for a long time before returning.
The two turned around, and Han Tao ordered the sergeant first, and asked the captured sergeant Yongzhu. After a short time, the sergeant relieved several prisoners, and Han Tao asked one person first: "How many days of food do you have to wait for the camp?" The captive replied: "I really don't know anything like this. Han Tao asked again and again, but the sergeant didn't know. annoyed Yan Shun on the side, with a knife in his hand, he slashed the sergeant. The rest of the captives on the side were trembling with fear, crying and begging for mercy. Han Tao frowned slightly, and ordered another person to mention. This person didn't wait for Han Tao to speak, and said first: "General Hui, we still have five or six days' food in the camp. Han Taoqi said: "How do you know? The sergeant said: "I am my captain's personal companion, and when my captain returns to urge food, I can hear it when I talk to the officials of the treasury. Han Tao listened, nodded, and ordered the sergeant to take all the prisoners.
After all the captives were taken down, Han Tao said to Yan Shun: "The grain and grass in the Yongzhu camp will be exhausted, you and I should report to the lord as soon as possible." Yan Shun nodded yes, and the two led the army back in a hurry.
The two led the army back to the barracks and reported the matter to Wang Hao. The king listened to it and said, "This time, you two should be credited." After the two of them retreated, Zhu Wu on the side offered a plan: "Po Yongzhu is in the near future." Wang Hao hurriedly asked, "What is your plan?" Zhu Wu said: "The grain and grass in the Yongzhu camp will be exhausted, and the two of them will retire from the army in the near future, and then think about the future." Wu Yiji, ambushes were all over the road, encroaching all the way, and all the troops were defeated. Wang Hao frowned and said, "If the two of them come back to fight, what if it's good?" Zhu Wu said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we can take advantage of the darkness to lead the brigade to spread the flags and chase after them from behind, and only intercept the rear team every time the ambush is ambushed." When he saw that there were pursuers, he only intercepted the rear team, and he didn't care about it at first, and it was too late to wake up later. When the king heard this, he praised the sergeant, "This is a wonderful plan. ”
After that, Wang Hao ordered the tent to be raised, and An sent the generals to go around the small road to the Yongzhu camp, ambushed the troops along the road, and only one general Luda was left in the camp.
However, he said that Yonghong had been waiting in the camp for more than ten days before the food had arrived, so he discussed with Zhu Bao: "Today, the grain and grass in the camp of you and me will be exhausted, and the military food in the rear will not arrive." I think that the grain road must be cut off by Wang Hao, and you and I should quickly retreat while there is still surplus food in the camp. Otherwise, the late one will change. Zhu Bao said: "What Yongtaishou said is very reasonable, but if our army retreats, Wang Hao will definitely lead the army to catch up, so how is it good?" Yonghong smiled: "There is no need to worry about this matter. Zhu Taishou, you can lead the brigade first, and I will lead two armies to ambush on the side of the road. If it comes to chase, the ambush soldiers will take advantage of the situation to kill. Zhu Bao listened, and said: "It's very good to keep this plan, but Taishou is the head of the five alliances, how can he get into danger lightly." If I come to lead the ambush, Taishou will lead the brigade to go first. Yonghong was not polite when he heard this, and immediately said: "In this way, it will be hard for Zhu Taishou." ”
The two of them had already decided to withdraw overnight. On the third watch of the night, the camp got up, quietly ate the meal, and the brigade marched one after another.
When it was dawn, Wang Hao saw Yongzhu in the camp, the flags were upside down, and the birds were gone. A brave sergeant touched the edge of the Yongzhu camp and looked in, but there was no one. Busy with the king. When Wang Hao learned that he had rewarded the sergeant, he wanted to order Luda to gather his troops and horses to chase after him. Zhu Wu persuaded: "Lord, please take a break from chasing the soldiers." Wang was curious: "Sir, why is this?" Zhu Wu said: "The lord and I will go up to the watchtower to see." Wang Haoqiang was curious, and went up to the watchtower with Zhu Wu.
On the watchtower, Zhu Wu pointed to the Yongzhu camp and said: "Lord, after watching the Yongzhu camp, the birds do not fall, there must be ambushes there, and the birds dare not fall." The king looked at it well, and it was so, but he was still hesitant in his heart. Zhu Wu seemed to see that Wang Hao didn't believe it, and said: "The lord and watch it patiently, you will know that what Wu said is true." When Wang Hao saw Zhu Wu say this, he watched patiently. Wang Hao watched for a long time, and saw that there was no movement after Yongzhu's camp, and wanted to let Luda out of the camp several times, but when he saw Zhu Wu smiling, he pressed it.
In the afternoon, Wang Haoguo saw that there were two ambushes behind the Yongzhu camp. When he saw that the king did not come to chase him, and that he was afraid of being far away from the brigade, he got up and retreated. Zhu Wu saw that Zhu Bao led the army to move away, and said: "Lord, it is at this time that the army can be ordered to catch up." When Wang Hao heard this, he and Zhu Wu went down to the watchtower, and ordered Luda to order the army and horses to go out of the camp to chase Zhu Bao.
Zhu Bao led the ambush troops to retreat, and after walking for less than thirty miles, there was a sudden sound of killing on the side of the road. Lu Fang was knocked out on the left, Guo Sheng was knocked out on the right, and the two of them each led 5,000 soldiers and horses to flank Zhu Bao. Zhu Bao wanted to ambush Wang Hao, but he was ambushed by Wang Haojun, and his heart was suddenly panicked. Zhu Bao was in a panic, but saw that Lu Guo and the others only had 10,000 horses, and they had led an army of 30,000. Seeing this, his heart calmed down a little, and the sergeant stepped forward. When the two sides fought for a short time, a sergeant suddenly reported to Zhu Bao: "Taishou, there are chasing soldiers rushing behind, and the banners are shadowing and shadowing, I don't know how many troops there are." When Zhu Bao heard this, he looked back, and it was as the sergeant said. At that moment, he wanted to abandon the army and leave, but when he didn't walk long, he was rushed by the two people on the left and right, and the two halberds arrived together and poked off the horse.
