Chapter 182: Zhao Zilong Sets Out
In order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Zhao Yun shortened the basic training that was not needed in the first place, and instead trained the execution of tactics, which had a very good effect, and now the Second Army was formed in just one month, and Zhao Yun contributed a lot.
Now that Meng Ge has occupied Chang'an, Zhao Yun knows that the time to go out has finally arrived, since Meng Ge handed over the second army to him Zhao Yun has been waiting for this moment, and now this time has finally come, the day after getting this news, Zhao Yun began to prepare, and the time to go out is finally here.
"General Zhao, it is really risky to send troops to the ancient city, and you only bring a little more than half of the troops, what if there is any mistake!" Yang Min was very worried, Zhao Yun's move was too bold, they were going to face Li Wei's army, and Zhao Yun's move had to be said to be very risky.
But this is for the sake of the war situation, now that stability is in hand, stability is an important barrier for the enemy army to move south, Zhao Yun can't leave this important stronghold alone, so he must allocate a certain amount of troops to guard this place, so it is impossible for Zhao Yun to bring all the troops, only two crossbow battalions and two cavalry battalions, a total of 17,000 men and horses, Li Wei's troops are much more than Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun looked at the map intently, pointed to two places and said: "Needless to say, I have made up my mind, now Li Dao should have to get the news soon, we must exert pressure as soon as possible, otherwise Li Dao will occupy Xiliang and form a confrontation with stability, that kind of situation is not what the lord wants to see, our army's front must advance to the west as soon as possible, Shicheng and Jincheng are key strongholds, we must immediately advance to these two places." ”
Yang Min almost jumped up, and said in disbelief: "You still have to advance to Jincheng, aren't you crazy, Zilong?" ”
"Of course not, how could I be crazy, don't make a fuss!" Zhao Yun looked at the map with a confident face, of course this decision is well-founded, Li Dao should be in Jincheng now, but I don't know if Jincheng was captured by him, if it is captured, it will be a little troublesome, if Jincheng has not been captured, then Li Dao will be finished.
Advancing to the ancient city is to cut off Li Dao's back road, and advancing to Jincheng is to force Li Dao to death, so that he will not have any power to fight back, but Li Dao captured Jincheng is another matter, but according to the time, this is almost impossible, and now Li Dao is afraid that he has just arrived in Jincheng, and it will take time to defeat Jincheng.
However, time has not allowed Li Dao to move troops, the back road of the ancient city has been broken, Li Dao's grain and grass are worried, at this time he has faced a desperate situation, if Li Dao has the courage to capture Jincheng, then he can rely on Jincheng to resist Zhao Yun, in that case, Zhao Yun may be difficult to capture, according to Zhao Yun's estimate, now Jincheng should not be captured, then now is the best opportunity to attack from both sides.
After Zhao Yun's explanation, Yang Min suddenly realized, he understood Zhao Yun's wishful thinking, the so-called plan could not catch up with the change, and the battle plan sent to Chang'an was formulated for Li Dao who was still in the ancient city, but now that Li Dao has gone to Jincheng after some rest, of course, it cannot be generalized, it must be temporarily changed, Zhao Yun decided to advance to Jincheng in order to create a situation of two sides.
However, there is still a problem with this plan, that is, whether the people of Jincheng will cooperate, "General Zhao, it is good to be able to cause a two-sided attack, but Han Sui and Ma Teng have been captured, and the Jincheng group of dragons has no leader, I am afraid that we will not have time to arrive, and Jincheng will be captured by Li Dao, so what should we do?" ”
"This is easy to do, we only need to occupy the ancient city, and immediately release the news to Jincheng, saying that Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Dao is a lone army, and the grain and grass will be exhausted, so that the Jincheng guards will inevitably be lucky, this is our opportunity, and the situation of attacking from both sides can be determined." Zhao Yun quickly said his plan, as for whether this plan can be realized, it depends on whether the Jincheng guard cooperates.
Zhao Yun also considered this, the current Jincheng guard is Yan Xing, I don't know much about this person Zhao Yun, but from a long-term perspective, it is not the best policy to take refuge in the lone army Li Dao, it is better to wait for Li Dao to run out of food, and when the time comes, he can defeat Li Dao, and he can also ask the court for credit, as a compromise, Yan Xing may also get the opportunity to divide Xiliang, why not! Zhao Yun expected that Yan Xing would definitely defend it, and this move killed two birds with one stone.
Of course, the premise is that Yan Xing does not know that Zhao Yun has prepared to go west, if Yan Xing knows that Zhao Yun has gone west, maybe he will unite with Li Wei to resist the attack of Chang'an, so it will be troublesome, Zhao Yun's move can be regarded as a dangerous move, because the initiative in this battle is in the hands of Yan Xing, and the key is to see if he can hide from the sky and the sea.
Whether it can cause a two-sided attack depends on whether the timing is in place, Yang Min immediately proposed: "In this case, I will immediately prepare manpower and let them release rumors about Jincheng!" ”
Zhao Yun nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine, it's time to calculate the time, I will immediately send troops to the ancient city, and the stability will be handed over to you!" ”
As for how to capture the ancient city, of course, it is very simple, now Li Dao doesn't know that his back is finished, the defenders of the ancient city must not have too much defense, this is the best opportunity to cheat the city, as long as the army controls the ancient city, it will be completed, which is not difficult for Zhao Yun.
After the preliminary completion of the battle plan, Zhao Yun sent troops to the ancient city on the second day, and at this time, it was when Meng Ge received the battle plan, Diao Chan and Meng Ge were thinking about Zhao Yun's battle plan, and Zhao Yun had already begun to act......
After talking for a while, Diao Chan got up and said: "General, it's not too early, I should go back too, I hope the general recovers soon, so that I can relax!" I took my leave under it! ”
Meng Ge didn't keep it, but said casually: "That's it, you go back early, the matter of Chang'an still depends on the two, I have approved the recruitment of Wang Yue, but there are still five people to recruit, the details have been sent to Fengxiao, I believe that there will be eyebrows soon, and you should be able to relax a lot by then!" ”
Diao Chan was suddenly confused, and there were still five people to recruit, which made Diao Chan very surprised, could it be that these five people had high talents, but Diao Chan didn't ask, and when the time came, it would be okay to make a plan, and now it is not in a hurry.
The calm said that passed quickly, I don't know how long the calm before the storm could last, Meng Ge's injury gradually improved, and the calm Chang'an gradually got on the right track, but in Xiliang, the battle broke out violently, Zhao Zilong broke out strongly in order to break Li Dao, and swindled the ancient city.
In the chaotic battle situation, Li Meng shouted angrily: "General Zhao, what do you mean by this, why did you attack the ancient city for no reason, aren't you afraid of the anger of Taishi Dong?" ”
Zhao Yun, who turned a deaf ear, did not respond at all, the battle situation was scorching, and he had to take the ancient city immediately, so he didn't have time to care about Li Meng's nonsense, and then he would talk about the ancient city first, this was the first task.
"Rush in for me, take control of the tower, and kill with me!" Zhao Yun held a silver spear and took the lead in the ancient city, and there was no enemy everywhere he passed, and the army of Zhao Yun, who was high-spirited, was not afraid of death and poured into the ancient city with Zhao Yun.
"Push them out for me, kill!" Li Meng angrily issued an order, inexplicably attacked by Zhao Yun, and now Li Meng was extremely angry, but he did not lose his cool, he knew that if Zhao Yun was not blocked out of the city, I was afraid that things would be in trouble, and the ancient city would very likely fall into the hands of Zhao Yun.
But how could the city gate that had been opened by fraud be so easy to close, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the army broke through the inner city, seeing that the opening was getting bigger and bigger, Li Meng was very anxious, and could only watch Zhao Yun gradually break through the defense, Li Meng understood that the general trend had gone.
"Kill!" The city gate on the east side of the ancient city fell into endless killing, what Zhao Yun didn't expect was that Li Meng's army had such a strong resistance, and it could organize an effective counterattack when the city gate was fraudulently opened, resulting in the army being trapped at the city gate, which Zhao Yun did not expect.
The sound of killing shook the sky, but Zhao Yun turned a deaf ear, calmly observing the situation on the battlefield, Zhao Yun knew that he had to find a solution, otherwise such a fierce battle was not conducive to taking the ancient city, and soon Zhao Yun found a way, the Li Meng who jumped up and down was the best target, and the best way on the battlefield was to capture the thief and capture the king.
"Crossbowman, shoot me to death!" Zhao Yun pointed at the silver gun, in order to successfully capture the ancient city, Zhao Yun was determined to kill the killer, no matter who he Li Meng was, he would kill it first, nothing could compare to the general need to take the ancient city, and other things would be said after the ancient city was taken.
In the chaos of the army, the strong crossbowmen were summoned by Zhao Yun, and dozens of strong crossbowmen were immediately on standby, with Zhao Yun's order, dozens of feather arrows went straight to Li Meng, the cold feather arrows showed a trace of coldness, and Li Meng, who jumped up and down, was afraid, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
"General, be careful!" The guards guarding Li Meng's side knocked Li Meng down, and the shield hand instantly stepped up.
"Click!" The hail-like sound of the blow made the scalp tingle, and Li Meng was pressed to the ground by the guards, not daring to raise his head at all, for fear that a feathered arrow would kill him if he accidentally killed him.
"General Zhao, it's blocked!" The team leader was extremely unwilling, such a great opportunity was gone, if he shot Li Meng at this time, it would be a great achievement, but this was enough for Zhao Yun.
I saw Zhao Yun smile slightly, and said gloomily: "It doesn't matter, keep suppressing me, don't let him raise his head, nail that guy to death, your task is to have fun with him, don't let him command the army easily!" ”
Escort, the most shameless escort tactic in the legend, no matter where you run, there will be feather arrows following you, so that Li Meng can not easily command the army to act, Zhao Yun wants this effect, this time Li Meng is sad, because I don't know when a few feather arrows will fly, Li Meng had to retreat, and at the same time, the command of Li Meng's army is gradually chaotic, and Zhao Yun is like a broken bamboo into the inner city.
"Powerful crossbowmen suppress, the whole army assaults!" Zhao Yun gave an order, the road to the inner city was finally opened, and Li Meng's army fighting at the city gate was instantly divided into two halves.
It wasn't until the evening that the killing shouts gradually fell, and the soldiers of the Second Army led by Zhao Yun finally had the advantage in this fierce battle, and the blood shrouded the entire ancient city, and Li Meng, who retreated into the inner city, understood that the general trend had gone, but he never understood why Zhao Yun wanted to attack the ancient city.
In a trance, Li Meng suddenly heard a thunderous explosion, only to hear Zhao Yun roaring outside: "Li Meng, now that the general trend has gone, when will you wait if you don't descend at this time?" ”
"Hmph, Zhao Yun, your behavior is tantamount to rebellion, Taishi Dong will not let you go, I am waiting for you on Huangquan Road!" Li Meng, who had a hard face, roared angrily, but in exchange for Zhao Yun's sneer.
"Taishi Dong is dead, why do you think I dare to do this, it's not because Taishi Dong is finished, now that my general has taken control of Chang'an, why do you still have to resist?" Zhao Yun's loud words shook everyone's scalps, and Li Meng's mind was suddenly in chaos.
"Taishi Dong is dead, how is this possible, how can Taishi Dong die?" Li Meng was almost incredulous, he couldn't think of why Dong Zhuo died, there was no news beforehand, and Taishi Dong died like this.
"Take down the county office!" Zhao Yun no longer gave Li Meng any chance, and immediately commanded the army to rush straight to the county office, taking advantage of the other party's trance, Zhao Yun gave the other party a fatal blow.
The swarming army immediately flooded Li Meng's department, and the sound of weapon strikes soon disappeared, and Li Meng, who was in a trance, became a prisoner again, but this time he became a prisoner of his own people, and when Li Meng, who was dismantled in a cloak, was escorted to Zhao Yun, this guy still didn't believe it was true.
Glancing at the sturdy Li Meng who was tied, Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "Take it down!" ”
Until the middle of the night, Zhao Yun finally controlled the entire ancient city, this is the first battle that Zhao Yun led the troops alone, although there were many difficulties, the initial plan was finally completed, Zhao Yun was still satisfied with the results of this battle, but the process was not very satisfied, it took only six thousand defenders to take the ancient city, it took a whole day, and it took nearly two thousand men and horses to take, which was really unsatisfactory.
The test has just begun, Zhao Yun is very worried about this, he will have to face Li Wei's elite army in the future, with the current combat strength of the second army, it is obviously not good, what should be done, in the blood, Zhao Yun fell into contemplation again, time is getting more and more urgent, but Zhao Yun has to consider whether the next plan is feasible, for the comparison of the strength of the two armies, Zhao Yun feels that his estimation is still flawed, how to solve the problem in front of him, Zhao Yun is a little at a loss.
In fact, the easiest way is to weaken the enemy, eliminate the enemy's favorable conditions, create unfavorable conditions for the opponent, and then achieve the goal of defeating the enemy, but what to do is a problem.
