Chapter 192: Xiahou Lan fights in the middle of the night
The meaningless tentative attack ended with the retreat of the coalition forces, feeling that the other party did not use all his strength, Meng Ge sneered at this, this kind of attack is just an itch for the heavily defended Hangu Pass, but this is just the beginning, the Kwantung coalition army is afraid that it will not retreat easily this time, the battle has just begun, presumably the next attack will be more violent, and the siege weapons will presumably appear one after another, and the test has just begun.
The battle on the first day seemed a bit anticlimactic, the coalition army was afraid of the strong crossbow of the Hangu Pass defenders, and did not dare to take risks easily, and the first tentative attack also seemed weak, so the situation made the faces of the Kwantung princes gloomy, and everyone returned to the camp with a sad face, thinking about what to do next, according to today's situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the army will be discouraged, and this battle will not have to be fought.
However, it is obvious that Mungo will not give the other party a chance to breathe, he has already foreseen the situation today, Mungo immediately called a new round of attack, in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, Mungo has never been afraid, passive defense has never been Mungo's habit, taking the initiative to attack is Mungo's style, and this time is no exception.
The enemy's strength is large, and he must use every opportunity to wear down the opponent's strength, which Mungo knows very well, when he should take the initiative to attack, Mungo will never be soft, and now the enemy's offensive has been frustrated, and the camp is a good opportunity, using this opportunity to destroy part of the opponent's troops, of course, Mungo will not let go.
Xiahou Lan, who had been excited for a long time, hurriedly ran over, just wanted to inform Meng Ge that the time for departure was almost up, and everything that should be prepared had been prepared, but Meng Ge was stopped, and Meng Ge originally planned to kill the knife himself, but today's Meng Ge is not the Meng Ge of the past, and the generals disagree with this decision.
"I said everyone, isn't it just a robbery camp, I haven't been afraid of 300,000 troops, it's just two kittens here today, can you use this?" Meng Ge, who was entangled by the generals and couldn't get out, was a little angry, he had been squatting in the camp for the past few days, his body was about to rust, he had long wanted to go out to fight, and finally had a chance, but he didn't expect so many people to stop him, it was really unexpected by Meng Ge.
"General, you just bear with it, the military advisor has explained, you can't let the adults be easily suspected, the soldiers are in danger, the general can't attack in person, let his subordinates and others do it for him!" Yang Dingfang was unusually resolute this time, and he took a group of veterans who had followed Mongo to block out of the tent, but he didn't let him go.
The embarrassed Xia Houlan didn't know what to do at all, and he didn't know what to say about the report, it was indeed not appropriate for the coach to take risks personally, looking at Meng Ge who was stopped, Xia Houlan reluctantly took two steps back, at this time, it was better not to mess around, and the province was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.
In order to prevent Meng Ge from fighting, everyone quarreled for a long time, and Meng Ge finally broke out, and suddenly roared angrily: "I am the boss or you are the boss, give me an honest retreat, I will lead the troops to fight tonight, you don't need to say more, stay in Hangu Pass for me, if anyone dares to mess around, be careful of my military law." ”
Seeing that Meng Ge was angry, the generals' faces were slightly relaxed, and the arrogant Meng Ge walked out of the big tent with a straight face, but he was a little weak in his heart, and he was afraid that he would have to be counted down by Guo Jia and them after he went back, but it didn't matter, anyway, as long as the goal was achieved, it would be done, no matter what he was doing so much, Diao Chan and Guo Jia's instructions had long been left behind by this guy, and now he just wanted to entertain the Kwantung Coalition Army well.
Following behind Meng Ge, Xia Houlan's face was not very good, and after thinking about it, she still whispered: "General, is this really good?" It is indeed unnecessary to go out in person, it is better to let General Zhang Liao and I go on the expedition, and the two of us expect that it should be enough! There is really no need for the general to take the risk himself! ”
Meng Ge glanced at this guy angrily, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, just go, and I'll beat you up!" ”
Xiahou Lan, who was trembling all over, suddenly shut up, he didn't want to be beaten flat by Meng Ge, his little effort was not enough for Meng Ge to plug between his teeth, if it was to fight, it would be extremely miserable, for the sake of his future life, Xia Hou Lan wisely chose to shut up, he didn't want to be beaten by Meng Ge.
Jia Xu smiled helplessly when he knew that he would be like this, this general is not so easy to persuade, others often regard safety as more important than anything else, and will never easily risk their lives, this lord is a bit different, but with Menggo's martial arts, this is understandable, and there is probably no one who can keep Menggo.
Tonight's sneak attack plan Zhang Liao is also among them, as the deputy commander of the cavalry battalion, Zhang Liao is particularly excited, maybe he can get good results tonight, and I heard that this time Meng Ge will personally command the army to fight, Zhang Liao has long wanted to see Meng Ge's cavalry tactics, I heard that Meng Ge's cavalry tactics are quite powerful, and Zhang Liao also has a new cavalry tactics Zhang Liao of course wants to see its power.
The night is the best cover, it is not unreasonable for Mongo to prefer to attack at night, generally speaking, night is not conducive to the time of battle, but for Mongo it is the best time to carry out a sneak attack, the ancient tactics pay attention to the battle formation, of course, it is very unfavorable in the dark night, but for Mongo, his cavalry does not need too complicated battle formations, just need to figure out the direction, and at the same time the night is also the best opportunity to fish in troubled waters, of course, Mongo will not let go of this opportunity that can be used.
In the quiet night, Meng Ge, who was blowing the night breeze, was extremely relaxed, and said to the people next to him with a smile: "The moonlight tonight is good, it is a good opportunity for a sneak attack, Xiahou and Wenyuan, maybe we will catch big fish tonight, you have to be careful!" ”
"Yes, General!" The two responded in unison, but the excitement in their eyes was irrepressible.
Nearly 7,000 cavalry quietly set off from Hangu Pass, after a long wait, Meng Ge and Xia Houlan and their party finally arrived at their destination, the coalition camp was brightly lit at the moment, and the patrol personnel came and went, obviously on high alert, Meng Ge looked at a chill, I didn't expect the coalition army's defense to be so tight, it was really not so easy to surprise the sneak attack, it seems that I have to think of a way.
Zhang Liao, who was lying in the nest, thought about it carefully, but he couldn't do it, so he had to stare at Meng Ge and said: "What to do, general, the enemy's defense is too tight, there are too many obstacles to resist horses, and the soldiers are on high alert, our army can't easily open the gap, and it will not be good if the sneak attack becomes a strong attack!" ”
"Indeed, a sneak attack turns into a strong attack, which is not good for us, we have to think of a way!" Mongo fell into deep thought.
The sneak attack turned into a strong attack, it is not advisable, Meng Ge is also a little embarrassed, damn Dian Wei's sneak attack last time was too powerful, this time the other party's defense is so tight, it definitely has nothing to do with Dian Wei's guy, but this is understandable, anyone who is attacked by Dian Wei will strengthen their defenses, now the sneak attack is not realistic, is it to give up this attack, Meng Ge carefully calculated.
Suddenly, Meng Ge had a whim, and said with a strange face: "Xiahoulan, give me a fight immediately!" ”
Xiahoulan, who was completely at a loss, was frightened, such a strange thing came out of Menggo's mouth, Xiahoulan almost thought that he had seen the hell, at this time to fight, it was really a shame for Menggo to think of it, this idea is really too immoral, Xiahoulan's eyes were full of doubts, and the soldiers who followed Menggo even dropped their jaws, no one expected that Menggo would propose such an unreliable plan at this time.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it, I just thought of it, but Xiahou, don't really fight, your task is very simple, anyway, the cavalry runs fast, and it is just right to lure the enemy, since the other party's defense is so tight, then we will come openly, if we don't come out, we will stir up the peace of them!" Meng Ge's face was weird, and he said that the night is really a good time, and many things that can't be done can be done at this time, and the night is fighting, see what you do.
It turned out to be a lure to the enemy, Zhang Liao suddenly realized, no wonder Meng Ge laughed so weirdly, the soldiers are treacherous, the truth is the best strategy, such a blatant provocation, the other party is expected to have an ambush, but this is a yang strategy, if the other party does not fight, it is also unfavorable, this is a fatal blow to morale, the same trick can also make the enemy unable to rest well, it is just a trick to exhaust the soldiers.
"So I'm there to lure the enemy?" Xiahoulan finally understood what Meng Ge meant, that is, to lure the enemy, but also to fatigue the soldiers, this trick will definitely surprise the coalition forces, Meng Ge took great pains for them, it doesn't matter if the enemy doesn't come, it's better to come, anyway, it's a safe deal, why not!
"Just in case, I'll go with General Xiahou!" Zhang Liao, who has always been steady in doing things, put forward a suggestion to go together, and after a little thought, Meng Ge agreed, if there is Zhang Liao, this matter is safer, don't let Xiahou Lan let people cut it, it will be very cost-effective.
With a little bit of banter, Zhang Liao and Xiahou Lan strangely took three hundred cavalry to swagger forward to fight, and the well-guarded coalition camp was suddenly extremely nervous, and the sudden change overwhelmed everyone, why did the enemy's cavalry suddenly appear, what is the situation?
I saw Xiahou Lan put the spear horizontally, looked at the enemy camp calmly, and then immediately shouted: "Listen to the rats inside, your grandfather Xiahou is here, and those who know each other will come out obediently to die!" ”
With such a few people dared to come to fight, the jaw of the coalition soldier on the opposite side suddenly fell to the ground, the boldness of the other party was really beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone had the intention of waiting and seeing, but then Xiahou Lan scolded directly, and the matter of the war was immediately confirmed.
The sound of fighting was endless, and Yuan Shao suddenly said angrily: "Whoever is making noise outside, go and find out for me immediately!" ”
But before the people below set off, Pegasus immediately came to report: "Report to the alliance leader, the enemy general Xiahou Lan came to fight, and he is scolding outside the gate, please make a decision quickly!" ”
"What, say it again?" Yuan Shao thought that he had heard it wrong, so the person who came had to say it again, this time Yuan Shao finally believed it, but the letter returned to the letter, and at this time he came to fight, and Yuan Shao's first reaction was to deceive.
"Hurry up and gather all the adults here!" Yuan Shao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered everyone to go to the Chinese army's big tent to gather, such a strange situation Yuan Shao didn't know what Meng Ge meant at all, or wait for everyone to come before making a decision.
After a while, all the princes from all walks of life arrived, they didn't come and couldn't do it, Xiahou Lan scolded outside the gate, even the eighteenth generation ancestors of the other party were scolded all over again, the princes from all walks of life were scolded by him, who can still sleep, there is no way to come if they don't come, they dare to fight with three hundred cavalry, where do they not know that the other party is tired, but they know that they know, but they have no clue what to do, and they can't really fight!
Everyone thought about it and argued for a long time, but then Liu Biao stood up and said: "It's better to let my subordinate general Wen Ping go and take a look, if you can leave that person named Xiahou Lan is naturally good, if not, then find another way, in short, you can't let this Xia Houlan keep scolding!" ”
Liu Bei was also annoyed, and it was rare for someone to be willing to contribute, so he immediately said: "That's the only way, but you have to tell General Wen that you can't rush in easily, don't seek merit but no fault!" ”
"Yes, I think Meng Ge will definitely set up a back hand, don't act recklessly, just scare the other party away!" Cao Ying also echoed a few words, and at the same time he was secretly frightened, Meng Ge's move was really vicious, he made it clear that he was telling you that I have someone behind, whether to beat or not to fight you and watch it yourself.
It's really not good not to fight, but how to fight that is another problem, send more troops and waste manpower, and if you send fewer troops, I am afraid that I will be eaten, and the ghost knows how many people are hiding behind Xia Houlan, if you don't fight, it will definitely hit morale, and the situation will be more difficult in the future.
Not far from the coalition camp, Meng Ge, who was leisurely admiring the moonlight, was extraordinarily proud, the move had already come out, and how the other party should deal with it was not his concern, anyway, there were so many ways to deal with it, since Zhang Fei could fight, then I could send someone to fight like Meng Ge, you do the first day of junior high school, I will do fifteen, none of us will lose to anyone, since you do the day, then I will do the night, Meng Ge really doesn't believe that you can't kill these guys.
Pang Lianhu is wondering, according to what Meng Ge said, the other party should know that the ambush is outside, and it should not come, but Meng Ge is lying in ambush, which is a little incomprehensible, Pang Lianhu still asked after thinking about it: "General, how do you know that the other party will be lured over, let's make it clear that there are ambushes, and the other party will definitely not come, why does the general say that the enemy army will appear, the last general really doesn't understand the reason for this, I don't know if the general can explain?" ”
"It's right if I don't know, I don't know if the other party will come, just wait!" Meng Ge didn't feel responsible at all, Pang Lianhu suddenly rolled his eyes, you don't know it's called hell, you just don't want to say it.
Knowing that he knows, Pang Lianhu only dares to slander in his heart, and he never dares to say it......
