Chapter 229: Huguan (2)

At this time, the peasants may have been a little ignorant, but the soldiers had already recognized that these cavalry were actually wearing the uniforms of the Black Mountain Thieves, and by the time they discovered this fact, the small group of cavalry was already very close. The commander of the Zhang Yang army may have considered his duties, or maybe it was something else, just to see him shout "Enemy attack!" The whole army is ready, kill! Then he lifted his spear and met the cavalry that was coming.

Perhaps, the number of people who saw each other was small.

But his personal blood and courage could not inspire the courage of all the soldiers, except for thirty or forty soldiers who followed him and prepared to meet the enemy, the rest of the soldiers actually threw down their weapons and fled under the overwhelming momentum of these cavalry.

The actions of these soldiers also affected the peasants, many of them also had some swords in their hands, and the rest of them also had a large number of plows, rakes, hoes, poles and other agricultural tools in their hands, if they could meet them unanimously, they would definitely inflict heavy losses on the cavalry of the "broken barracks". But the farmer is a farmer after all, and in the face of the menacing cavalry with weapons in hand, coupled with the flight of the soldiers around them, the only bit of courage in their hearts is also covered by fear, and they scatter in all directions, lest they will lose their lives if they run slowly.

It was impossible to stop the charge of the elite cavalry when there were thirty or forty men counterattacking, and before these soldiers who had the courage to resist approached, the cavalrymen armed with crossbows shot them one by one, and the few who remained, none of them were spared, and they were all buried under the spears of the cavalry.

"Humph! What a bunch of wreck! Hurry up and burn all these grain wagons! Without hindrance, he rushed to the grain truck. The leader of the scout camp cursed and turned to his men and commanded.

Immediately these soldiers were seen in charge of one or two grain carts, and took out their own fire breakers and lit the fire. The grain cart was lit. The grain carts are full of flammable materials, and a little spark is enough to cause a fire, let alone someone deliberately lighting it. In addition, this sunny and good weather made the fire out of control. Soon, all the grain carts were on fire, and they looked like a fire dragon lying on the ground.

Looking at the imposing fire dragon, the soldiers in the broken barracks all had smiles on their faces.

Seeing that the fire has completely engulfed the grain cart and the grain on it. Even now it won't be of any use to put out fires, the leader of the cavalry squad smiled slightly and said, "Okay! This fire has also been played. It's done, I think it's time for those idiots in the city to come out, let's go to another place to play, how about it? ”

"Good! This time it's going to be bigger! ”

"Long live the chief! I'm sticking with you! ”

……

This group of scouts who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic shouted in a mess. At this time, they don't look like elite soldiers at all. It's like a real bunch of bandits.

Sometimes. Military discipline does not represent combat effectiveness, in Han Fei's eyes, as long as he is not a traitor and a little "naughty", it is still tolerable, at least, in exchange for infinite combat effectiveness!

"Let's go!"

With an order, the scout cavalry, who was very confused, turned their horses' heads neatly at this time. They followed their leader and fled away, leaving them to the army of Zhang who saw the fire and went out of the city to rescue. Except for the burned grain cart, there was only a blank slate.

"Smack!"

Zhang Yang slapped the table in front of him violently, and said viciously: "This bastard Zhang Yan is really too deceitful!" ”

It turned out that in the vicinity of more than a dozen cities in the Shangdang area, there were incidents of the newly harvested autumn grain being burned by a small elite group of the Black Mountain Bandit Army, and these enemy troops who came and went without a trace were not only burned thoroughly, but also left the mark of the insolence of the Black Mountain Thieves at every scene, which made Zhang Yang, who had lost tens of thousands of stone of grain and felt underestimated, not be angry.

"My lord, please be calm. There must be a reason for Zhang Yan's army's move, if the lord is easily angry, I am afraid that he will follow Zhang Yan's intentions. In the middle of the party's rule, Li Chong saw Zhang Yang angry, frowned, and opened his mouth to persuade.

When Zhang Yang heard Li Chong's persuasion, instead of calming down, he was already carried away by a series of actions made by Guo Jia at this time, and his mind was full of dissatisfaction with Li Chong. In his opinion, Li Chong's remarks were purely sarcastic about his simple mind, irritability, and lack of a qualified lord at all. He glanced at Li Chong coldly, suppressed his anger, and said in a cold voice: "What, Li Chong, are you accusing Ben Tai of not being able to keep it?" ”

Zhang Yang's unceremonious attitude made Li Chong even more bitter in his heart, this kind of behavior of the Black Mountain Bandit Army was very simple, and Li Chong also understood the enemy's intentions as soon as he heard about the actions of the Black Mountain Bandit Army. But in the face of this angry lord, Li Chong understood that the Black Mountain thief's move was a complete conspiracy, blatantly burning grain and grass, but Zhang Yang sat and watched the fireworks and did not dare to send troops. Of course, sending troops, I am afraid that it will further fulfill the enemy's intentions, and there may be some backhand waiting for Zhang Yang, after all, the enemy's situation is unknown. That's why there is no way to be in a hurry, no wonder Zhang Yang is angry.

"The last general will not dare." In order to temporarily dissipate Zhang Yang's anger, Li Chong replied in a low voice.

Even if Zhang Yang is hot, Li Chong has already done enough to be short at this moment, and it is difficult for Zhang Yang to find the gas bag, so he slowly calmed down after roaring for a while, and began to take this sudden thing seriously. Suddenly, Han Sui was stunned for a moment, and asked Li Chong anxiously: "Wen Chang, if you talk to Ben Taishou again, what should you do now?" ”

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, it's useless to just worry, I should come, I still have to come. At the critical moment, Han Sui still showed the demeanor of a prince, although his heart was in a mess, but at least on the surface, he had calmed down.

"I think that our army can only strengthen the escort of the autumn harvest team. The number of sneak attacks sent by the Montenegrin bandits was small, according to the rout report. In the case of an attack in a dozen places, the number of enemy troops at most was fifty men, and although there were both cavalry and infantry, the only characteristic was that they were quick and ruthless, and those who dared to fight back were killed, but those who fled were never pursued. In this way, the civilians and soldiers who get the news will not fight to the death in the next attack. We can only increase the number of guards. Li Chong learned from the report that the enemy's speed was extremely fast, and there was no warning when attacking. It's completely random. After pondering for a moment, he could only strengthen his guard force in this regard.

"Wencai. In your opinion, what is the purpose of the Montenegrin thief's move? Zhang Yang saw Li Chong's respectful attitude, and his anger had already been suppressed, and he then asked.

"This ......" Li Chong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Now the army sent by Zhang Yan is only twenty or thirty thousand, and they are all displayed in front of Huguan. In the light of the provocations made by the Japanese enemy some time ago, according to the opinion of our subordinates, it is very likely that the enemy forces are trying to increase our pressure. General Zhang Tuo, who forced us to not be able to reinforce Huguan, may even want to force us to ask General Zhang for help, so as to lure General Zhang Tuo out of the city. Destroy in one fell swoop and capture the pot pass. ”

Li Chong's analysis is very decent.

"That's ......," Zhang Yang also thought. In the same lack of real information, he also had to agree with Li Chong's analysis, after agreeing with Li Chong's statement. Zhang Yang said: "In that case. Just do it with the intention of literary talent. But at this time, it is necessary to send someone to contact Zhang Fu there to know what the situation of the battle there is, so that he can make a decision. ”

……

Obviously, both Zhang Yang and Li Chong underestimated Guo Jia's viciousness.

Guo Jia not only sent people to burn grain in Shangdang County, but with the convenience of the mobile cavalry, Guo Jia not only had to attack the food supply of Zhang Yang's army, but also cut off the source of salt for Zhang Yang's army.

"Zhang Yanpifu, deceive me too much! The villain ......" Zhang Yang was once again furious because of the measures of the "Black Mountain Thief". He cursed incessantly.

At this time, the subordinates and martial arts who had already received the news were also helpless about this, and tens of thousands of stone of grain were burned in Shangdang County. Immediately afterwards, Taiyuan County also urgently reported the news that the enemy army had destroyed the grain storage land and destroyed the salt works in various places, which was like a heavy hammer smashing into the hearts of Zhang Yang and his subordinate Wen Wu.

"The success or failure of the war is fixed on the generals, and the lives of the three armies are really related to food. There are those who eat enough and lose, and those who lack food and can hold on to victory for a long time are unheard of......," Li Chong said softly slowly.

"Wencai, what are you muttering? Let's put it bluntly! Zhang Yang said with an unhappy expression.

Li Chong didn't want to look at Zhang Yang in silence at this time, he stepped forward and said to Zhang Yang: "Lord, Zhang Yan's move is indeed the key point of our army. Grain, grass, and salt farms can also increase the number of troops to protect them, but the current situation has become clear that no matter how many more people our army has, the number of enemy troops attacking will increase accordingly. I also ask the Lord to make a quick decision to avoid the leakage of news and the fluctuation of people's hearts. ”

"What can I do? O armies, great armies! Where did I, Han Sui, go to get so many troops? If it is dispersed again, I am afraid that Zhang Yan will not be able to attack on a large scale, and there will be no strength to defend the city here! Zhang Yan thief, dare to bully me like this......" Zhang Yang was already a little confused at this time, which made Li Chong and the others shake their heads secretly.

"Do you have a solution?" Zhang Yang, who was angry, finally thought of asking his subordinates for ideas.

Li Chong and the others looked at each other, all shaking their heads. In desperation, Li Chong said again: "Lord, there are only two choices at this time. The first is to defeat the main force of Zhang Yan's army as soon as possible. The second is to ask for help from the Huns, with the relationship between the lord and Yu Fuluo, it should not be difficult to get the Huns to preside, not to mention, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold! ”

"This ......" Han Sui couldn't help but fall into contemplation for a while, carefully pondering the feasibility of Li Chong's words.

"Lord, don't delay any longer, otherwise, you will undoubtedly sit back and wait to die!" Li Chong's face was worried, and he persuaded repeatedly.

Today's form, it can be said that time is not waiting, and if it is delayed, it will only fall into a more embarrassing situation, this simple truth, not only Li Chong understands, but the shrewd Zhang Yang naturally knows, but Zhang Yang was carried away by anger, and after he calmed down, Zhang Yang realized the current situation, and what Li Chong said is also the only two ways out.

Although he didn't know why Zhang Yan, who had always been at a disadvantage, suddenly became stronger.

"That's it! Tell me to send a message to Francolo and ask him to help! ”

"Look, General Gao is still doing quite well! Although Zhang Yang's army will not be short of food and grass for a while, if it continues like this, his army will be in danger of running out of food! ”

When the news came back to the Han non-army camp in front of Huguan one after another, everyone was excited. Guo Jia shook his head and said with a grin.

They're not here to get the pot off, the real purpose. It is to make Zhang Yang anxious to ensure that Han Fei can smoothly enter Taiyuan.

"It's not just the grain problem, almost all the salt works under Zhang Yang's jurisdiction have been destroyed. There is an imminent severe shortage of edible salt. Perhaps, the grain of Zhang Yang's army can last for a few months, but its salt will not be stored too much, because the real use of salt is not said by Zhang Yang. Even you don't know what it's really for. Jia Xi said with a smile. Jia Xi cares more about salt than food!

As a person who has traveled through the 21st century. Han Fei naturally knows the effect of salt on the human body, and at the same time, he also knows that if he does not eat salt for a long time. That person's bodily functions will be destroyed. It will produce low blood pressure, fatigue, dizziness and weakness, and even, not being able to do work, let alone pick up weapons to fight!

And Jia Xi, who had discussed salt with Han Fei, was naturally clear.

"Sir, is there anything else to say about this salt?" Guo Jia asked in surprise.

Guo Jia only knows that salt is very important and cannot be separated from normal life. Only then did he give the order to cut off Zhang Yangyan's road, as for the real role of salt. He really didn't know, but intuitively thought it would have a big impact on the war.

"This natural ......" Jia Xi coughed twice, cleared his throat, and began to teach these people a lesson. He told Han Fei what he heard about the effect of salt on the body one by one, not only what would happen if he didn't eat salt, but what would happen if he ate too much salt, Han Fei also said it to everyone without reservation.

"In this way, it won't take much time, won't Zhang Yang's army become incapable of resisting?" Where had Guo Jia heard such an argument, but seeing that Jia Xi said it so solemnly, and Jia Xi also explained that this was what Han Fei said, and he had experimented with it, when he arrived, he didn't have the slightest doubt. Shocked, but excited for the arrival of Zhang Yang's end.

If it is really as the lord said, then it seems that this battle is too easy to win.

I don't know if it's Guo Jia, all the people can't find the southeast and northwest by the knowledge that they have never heard before, but it is difficult to question Jia Xi, Jia Xi's appearance is really difficult to doubt, not to mention, these people believe in their lord from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's not the end of the matter yet, it's too early to draw conclusions." Jia Xi smiled noncommittally.

"Yes, what the old gentleman said is right, this matter is unstoppable, and Zhang Yang's army will react later. Although it should only be an increase in troops, it is also the weakness of our army's superficial lack of troops. Guo Jia put away his usual jokes, nodded, and said in a deep voice.

"What Feng Xiao said is true, but its increase in troops will not increase much, after all, how many troops Zhang Yang has, almost all of them are on the surface, and the only thing worth worrying about is the Huns." Jia Xi said.

Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo took refuge in Yuan Shao, which was no secret in Han Fei's army, and everyone present knew it. Now, there are more than 20,000 of their troops outside Huguan, and the connection with Yuan Shao has been severed, and the only friendly army that Zhang Yang can find is Yu Fuluo's Hun army.

"You can rest assured, although Zhang Yan may be in the clouds now, but the current situation is favorable to him, and I believe he will not sit idly by." Guo Jia smiled, but was not too worried.

"Strategist, you're ruthless! This move is one move after another, Zhang Yang has to be angry! Ren Jun is in a very good mood now, and said to Guo Jia with a smile.

"It's burning grain again, it's cutting off salt, Fengxiao is really ruthless enough. There is no food and something to replace it, but if there is no salt, it won't be long before this man has no strength. The little salt in reserve alone could not meet the salt supply of the army. It's just that this is ...... to the people of the two counties" Zhang He shook his head and did not finish his words. But everyone understood what he meant, and it was nothing more than that they felt that Guo Jia's plan was a little more vicious.

"Haha, this one, this military division has its own handling, you just have to wait and see what happens!" Guo Jia laughed to hide his embarrassment, but said mysteriously.

It is really unimaginable that Guo Jia, who took refuge in Han Fei because he cared about Li Min, would use such a vicious strategy, which greatly surprised Zhang He and others.

Of course, Zhang Yang, as an enemy, is still kept in the dark.

However, Guo Jia's plan is not as simple as it seems, he has no intention of really cutting off the people of the two counties from eating salt, he just wants to cut off Zhang Yang's salt production. It's just that people who don't know the overall plan do have different ideas, and no one really knows Guo Jia's overall plan, even Han Fei doesn't know.

However, not long after, Zhang He and others fully knew Guo Jia's intentions. However, after knowing it, they were all stunned on the spot.

When everyone gathered together again, Ren Jun couldn't help but laugh when he saw Guo Jia.

"Huh? Why is Boda laughing? Isn't there something happy that can't be done? Guo Jia looked at Ren Jun, who was smiling non-stop as soon as he entered the account, and asked curiously.

"Strategist, you...... You're too dark! ”

Naturally, I learned this from Han Fei.

Ren Jun held back for a long time, but he held back these words, and Guo Jia, who was puzzled, looked at the skin on his hands, and didn't know where he was dark. Seeing Guo Jia's actions, Ren Jun continued: "Strategist, you are indeed too dark, not only cut off Zhang Yang's source of salt, but also let people block all the exchanges of salt dealers, and then let people organize to buy the salt accumulated in Jizhou at a low price and smuggle it to Zhang Yang's territory and sell it at a high price, so as to earn us a high ...... Uh, that extra money! If he, Zhang Yang, knew that the military expenses used by our army here were all earned from him, how would he, Zhang Yang, react? It was when the last general thought of this that he couldn't help laughing. ”

"What else is there to think about," Gao Shun, who came in together, made a rare and funny expression of deep thought, and after thinking about it, four or two words burst out of his mouth, "It's just vomiting blood!" ”

"Not bad! It's vomiting blood! Haha......" (To be continued......)
