March 17 Night Attack

Xiao Buyi looked at the people on the horse and cheered, and when he saw that he couldn't stop for a while, he shouted loudly: "Father, old folks, listen to me." ”

As soon as he spoke, the people were respectful, and the breathing by the moat could be heard, which showed the weight of Xiao Buyi.

"The king of Yue promised that I would lead the troops and go to recapture Luocang first, the stakes are very high, the bandits are rampant, and I also ask my father and fellow villagers to help me, expel the bandits, and return the homeland to peace."

"Expel the bandits and return the home to peace!" The people cried out, and the night was shaken. The moat is sparkling, and it seems to be feeling the passion of the people.

Xiao Buyi immediately waved his hand, everyone quieted down again, and Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "From now on, I am afraid that the war will continue, and I will ask my father and fellow villagers to help when the time comes, and I will have Lord Lu's orders at that time." "He got the order of the king of Yue to send troops, but he was not in a hurry to send troops, and first discussed with Lu Chu about the transfer of troops, and at this moment he suddenly brought out a lot of soldiers and horses from the inner city, just to create a shocking effect. Although he knew that the counterattack on Li Mi would start tonight, it was definitely a very difficult task, and he could not do it carelessly, and of course he had to mobilize all the forces that could be mobilized. Wagang claims to have gathered 400,000 people, and it is constantly expanding, so he must not be allowed to take a peep. What's more, there are many internal and external troubles at the moment, not only to deal with Li Mi's heavy troops to attack, but also to solve the stubborn forces in the eastern capital! But things have to be done step by step, first of all, tonight's battle must not be lost.

"Huya Lang will stretch his power and obey the order...... Xiao Buyi thought of this, and had already issued his first order to come to the Eastern Capital.

Shu Zhanwei stepped forward and saluted: "The end will be." ”

"I order you to quickly gather thousands of people from the headquarters, and wait at the Spring Gate in half an hour."

Shu Zhanwei was puzzled and asked, "What is General Xiao going to do?" ”

Xiao Buyi's face was solemn, "The military order is like a mountain, I ordered you to gather people, but you are not satisfied?" ”

Shu Zhanwei immediately came to his senses and said in a deep voice: "The last general knows his mistake, so he will go and gather people." He got out of the crowd, got on his horse, and flew away. Xiao Buyi continued to order: "Hu Benlang will take care of the dust and obey the order......

"The end will be."

"I order you to quickly gather thousands of people from the headquarters and wait at Shangchun Gate."

"Order."

"Oricho Lang will listen to the ......" "Yubu Lang will listen to the ......"

Xiao Buyi has a good memory, and he remembers the names of the generals who followed him just now, these people are all responsible for guarding the outer city, and it shows that a lot of enthusiasm can be used, Xiao Buyi wants to use manpower, of course, he must consider using these elites. One after another orders were conveyed, the generals rang one after another, and the people watched from the sidelines, the first time they encountered such a dispatch order, their hearts were excited, and they were even more impressed when they saw that Xiao Buyi did not expel the people.

After the order was completed, Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "Fellow villagers, now go back to Luocang to report urgently, the eastern capital is slightly short of troops, but the defense of returning to Luocang is very weak, and people need to dig trenches and walls, and about 2,000 people are needed tonight." I have told the king of Yue that the participants can get a day's ration for four people, I don't know if anyone is willing to obey? "The eastern capital is in a hurry, Huiluocang has been captured, the people are panicking, gold, silver and jewelry are not as important as food, and this condition he proposed can be said to be extremely tempting.

"I do." Zhang Xiaoniu was the first to jump out, "I just need to be able to eat my stomach." ”

People rushed forward, "I sign up, I do!" ”

For a while, the people were surging, Xiao Buyi sighed lightly and said: "But I have said it first, the bandits are fierce, although you don't need to fight, but digging trenches and walls also has a surname to worry about, you can think about it carefully." ”

The people were a little hesitant, but Zhang Xiaoniu said loudly: "General Xiao said clearly, at least I believe that following you will not lie to me." Under the nest...... If there is that egg, the east will be gone, and we will also have no good life, in this case, when everyone is desperate. ”

All the people wanted to understand this truth, and they all nodded, "This little brother is right, General Xiao, I will wait!" ”

Xiao Buyi looked at Zhang Xiaoniu with some surprise, at the beginning, he felt that this Zhang Xiaoniu was just a guy in a teahouse, and then followed him to petition, and also felt that he might be a young man's spirit, but along the way, this kid had a clear mind and said the truth, but Xiao Buyi felt that he was not as simple as a buddy.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Buyi asked the people to go to Lu Chu to sign up and arrange for soldiers to escort him, but he had already arrived at Shangchun Gate first.

Without waiting to ascend the city gate, seeing the bat waving from afar, Xiao Buyi asked the soldiers to let him in.

Now that Xiao Buyi is the commander of the march, he is naturally indispensable to the protection of the soldiers. Fang was still very close to the people by the moat, but when he really wanted to go to battle, the soldiers in close quarters couldn't help but hug him, just afraid that something would happen to the general.

The bat walked in and just handed Xiao Buyi a note, Xiao Buyi looked at it by the light of the torch, and poked it with his palm, the note had turned into powder, but his face was silent.

The process between this was just a blink of an eye, and the soldiers didn't know why, so they didn't think much about General Xiao's contemplation. Xiao Buyi held back the shock before he calmed down.

There was only one sentence on the note, Li Mi's army would arrive early in the morning!

Xiao Buyi was also secretly frightened by Li Mi's thunderous methods, so the time left for him was only one night! In fact, Xiao Buyi said that it was not for nothing to take back Luocang with 30,000 elite soldiers, and after a long battle, he understood the importance of military intelligence, Huangfu Wuyi and others only looked at the eastern capital, but he had a clear grasp of the surrounding situation. He seems to be laid back, but in fact he never stops thinking.

The eloquent talk in the court was by no means casually said, but after too much intelligence analysis. He was particularly concerned about the dynamics of Li Mi's army, but he never thought that Li Mi's march would be so rapid.

People look over from the city tower, only to see the east capital outside the spring gate, east and west of the fire, from time to time there are drums loud, very noisy, stirring the east capital, as besieged by thousands of troops, many soldiers are speechless, even a little afraid. Xiao Buyi looked around at everyone's faces, slightly worried.

The two armies fight and the brave wins! In the past, the Sui army had an innate advantage over the bandits, and they also had a psychological advantage, and whenever the officers and soldiers attacked, the bandits did not wait for the Sui soldiers to attack, and they had already fled. But since Li Mi entered Wagang, he has won successes one after another, and even made the bandits have an advantageous mentality, from the previous fear to now feel that the Sui army is nothing more than that.

The impact of momentum on victory and defeat is extremely significant, if you do not send troops, it is not advisable to underestimate the enemy first, but if you do not send troops to fear first, you will fall into your own death.

There are many reasons why he can win now, first of all, the soldiers he brings are the most well-equipped, and secondly, he will understand the enemy situation in detail every time he sends troops, and the key point is that he fights less positional warfare and uses more surprise attacks to win. If you can fight quickly, why stick to the rules, this is what Li Jing has always taught by words and deeds, but now that Li Jing is not around, Xiao Buyi understands that positional warfare is finally inevitable.

"General Qiyu, Huyalang will Shu Zhanwei and bring the troops here."

"General Qiyu, General Hu Benlang will come out of the dust and bring the troops."

Stretching his authority and coming out of the dust, he came with troops one after another, and climbed to the city gate to make a proclamation, with excitement in his words. Xiao Buyi didn't say anything about the purpose, but they already understood that the army would be sent tonight.

Xiao Buyi was looking back in the direction of Luocang at the moment, which was only ten miles away from the eastern capital, and when he looked at the city, he only saw the vast Beibi Mountain in front of it, and it was also a little firelight, like the stars in the sky falling into the earth.

"How many bandits do you say are besieging the Eastern Capital?" Xiao Buyi asked suddenly.

Shu Zhanwei was stunned, looked around, and said after a while: "Judging from the scale of the fire in front of the Shangchun Gate, there are at least 100,000 troops in Wagang, and at least 20,000 troops are besieged at the Shangchun Gate. ”

Guan Chuchen also nodded, "I heard that Wagang has gathered more than 400,000 people now, it seems that it is not a lie." ”

Xiao Buyi laughed, "If it's really as you guessed, then Li Mi is only afraid that there are really a million soldiers." Seeing that the two generals were all awe-inspiring, Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "Wagang's plan to recruit suspicious soldiers is really powerful, in fact, according to my speculation, there are at most 10,000 bandits outside the city who pretend to be suspicious soldiers, and these fireheads are just bluffing, but there is no army stationed." The main forces of Wagang some time ago were actually divided into four parts, one part was gathered in Liyang to resist General Xue Shixiong, the other part was hoarded in Liang County to deal with General Wang Shichong, and some of the troops were in Runan to defend ......"

He didn't say that Li Mi's troops in Runan were to guard against Xiangyang, in fact, his Xiao Buyi was indeed involved in Li Mi's troops.

Although the two sides have held peace talks, the peace talks are only for the sake of better attacks.

But now, he actually praised Li Mi's military talent, Li Mi may be a little crazy, maybe a little arrogant, but he does have arrogant capital. In the chess game of the world, a character like Li Mi dares to fall in the middle of the belly, and only a character like Li Mi can strategize, and he will not be overstretched in the land of four battles!

"The fourth part of Wagang's troops is to occupy various counties and besiege Tiger Prison, Yanshi and other places. They actually wanted to attack the Eastern Capital for a long time, but the troops of the Four Routes had greatly involved their energy. They bet that Dongdu would never send troops after the first battle of Luokou, and they were right. Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "But as soon as General Xue threatened to go, Li Mi couldn't wait to draw troops to attack the eastern capital, but after all, it also takes time to march, prepare grain, grass, baggage, and so on." If we really think that he now has 100,000 troops trapped in the periphery of the eastern capital, and dare not send troops, we will just fall into his calculations, and when he really falls into his encirclement, the eastern capital will be a lonely city at that time, and it will be really dangerous. ”

Shu Zhanwei and Guan Chuchen listened to Xiao Buyi's analysis of the general trend, and couldn't help but admire, at least Xiao Buyi's analysis sounded very reasonable to them.

Now they are trapped in the eastern capital, rarely hearing about the general trend of the world, and there is no news from various places.

But after all, he felt that Xiao Buyi was talking about troops on paper, and Shu Zhanwei asked, "General Xiao, I will talk too much, we really want to send troops tonight?" ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, looked at the city, and saw that Han Zhen, the general of Zhichonglang, and Mu Liangxiong, the general of Xiongwulang, had also ordered all the soldiers and horses to come to report, and the four generals gathered together, and said in a deep voice: "Shu Zhanwei, Han Zhen listen to orders." ”

"The last general!" The two generals responded in unison.

"Today, I ordered you two to bring the infantry of the headquarters, a total of 2,000 soldiers from Shangchun Gate, and when our army attacked, ignore the thieves and bother, travel lightly and quickly, and rush back to Luocang West half an hour to press still, with the fire at the head of Shangchun Gate in the east as the number, attack back to Luocang West bandit garrison. Those who arrive late will be killed, and those who do not attack without permission according to the fire number will be killed. The two of you led your subordinates each set up a line of military records, and the 2,000-person rapid march was divided into five fire and one squad, three squads and one squadron, and five squadrons and one brigade. ”

He issued orders very quickly and decisively, and he used a normal military establishment, Shu Zhanwei and Han Zhen of course understood it, and felt that Xiao Buyi was familiar with the art of war, and couldn't help but trust Xiao Buyi's ability to lead soldiers. But when he heard that he couldn't leave his mouth, he was worried in his heart, and secretly said in his heart that he should be careful with his soldiers.

Shu Zhanwei said cautiously: "There is something unclear in the end, I don't know if I should ask or not?" ”

"Ask for it!"

"It's not a problem to rush back to the west half of Luocang in an hour, but even if the bandits are mostly suspicious, I think there will be bandits guarding when they go back to Luocang, and it is unlikely if they don't know. What should they do if they send troops against us? ”

"Resist on the spot, stick to the attack, don't take the initiative to attack, if you violate the military order, behead!"

Han Zhen protested: "General Xiao, the last general is not convinced, not to mention the countless bandits along the way, just say that I will go back to Luocang to guard it, and I may not be able to hold it." ”

Xiao Buyi said coldly: "If you can't, I can change someone else's attack." It's easy to go home and guard your wife and children, but why should I use you in that case? If you feel that you can't do it, you can ask for a replacement and go back to sleep, I don't force it. ”

Han Zhen's face was red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The last general will listen to the order!" ”

Xiao Buyi looked at Shu Zhanwei and said, "General Shu Lang, do you still have questions?" ”

Shu Zhanwei also gritted his teeth, "The last general swears to wait for the order to attack, if you take a step back, raise your head to see you." ”

Xiao Buyi's cold face finally showed a little warmth, and he nodded slowly, but his eyes fell on the other two generals, "Guan Chuchen, Mu Liangxiong listens to orders." ”

The second general stepped forward and said, "The last general will be." ”

Xiao Buyi's face became grim again, "I ordered the two of you to each take the infantry of the headquarters, a total of 2,000 from Shangchun Gate, and rush back to the garrison half a mile east of Luocang within an hour. ”

The second general was awe-inspiring, "There is no doubt about the last general." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded and shouted, "Where is Di Hongyuan?" ”

One of the generals stepped forward and said, "The last general!" "Di Hongyuan was originally Xiao Buyi's subordinate, he had gone out with Xiao Buyi to fight against Wagang, and when he was a Yanshi, he was scolded by Xiao Buyi and Xiao Buyi because of the disadvantage of the overseer, but later he followed the rules and made no mistakes. Later, with Xiao Buyi went south to Xiapi, after Xiao Buyi disappeared, the elite soldiers of the right Xiaowei all returned to the eastern capital under the placement of Yang Yichen and Pei Renji. This time, the backbone of the 30,000 elite soldiers was mainly transferred from the soldiers of the Right Xiaowei Mansion, firstly because these people had followed Xiao Buyi, and secondly, because the Right Xiaowei Mansion is now marginalized in the eyes of Huangfu Wuyi.

The generals obeyed Lu Chu's order to send troops, and they inevitably felt worried in their hearts, not knowing what Xiao Buyi's plans were, and Di Hongyuan was even more so.

Xiao Buyi saw Di Hongyuan stepping forward, and said in a deep voice: "I order you to command the front army of 5,000, expel the bandits outside the Shangchun Gate, and line up to attack ......."

Di Hongyuan said awe-inspiringly: "Obey!" ”

"Where is the partial general Shangguan Lan Xuan?"

"The Last General ......"

"I order you to lead two thousand cavalry ......"

Xiao Buyi's orders were issued one after another, and everyone couldn't help but increase their confidence when they saw that his orders were in good order, and it was almost a multi-way army marching back to Luocang at the same time. Xiao Buyi had already allocated the manpower in a moment, and arranged the baggage matters of the rear army. Everything is in order, not in a hurry, all the soldiers and generals are admired, and under the prestige of the heart, General Xiao really deserves his reputation.

Xiao Buyi waited until the order was passed, then he looked up at the sky, hugged his fists and said: "Generals, the army is invincible, this battle is very important, there is no mercy at all, if you violate military discipline, you will never be spared!" All generals should fight to the death, if they succeed, no matter the generals and soldiers, they should be rewarded, and they will never break their promises! ”

Under his grace, all the generals said in unison: "The last general knows!" ”

"Kaejo, send troops." Xiao Buyi got Li Jing's teachings, knew how to sharpen the knife and not cut wood, first established the military prestige, and then showed kindness, so he was a little settled in his heart and had a little certainty. These generals have not been running in with him for a short time, and they should march on the right path, and this battle is a promise of victory and not defeat, if they are defeated, the prestige he has worked hard to accumulate can be said to be in an instant.

In the battlefield, there is never mercy on the weak!

The squeaky opening of the Shangchun Gate disturbed the condensation of the night, Di Hongyuan first led the front army out of the city in a row, and quickly opened the phalanx, shield hands, knife and axe hands, spearmen, archers, staggered cover, and quickly moved forward, leaving a passage for the rear team.

Although he led the team quickly, he could be neat and orderly, and he could follow the art of war and block the bandits from all directions from attacking!

The terrain in front of the Shangchun Gate is open, and Di Hongyuan is scattered in array, and the layout is lawful.

The fire outside the city was blazing, and the bandits saw the Shangchun Gate open, and the officers and soldiers poured out, shouting, and the dark night came from all directions, ghostly, wanting to scare the Sui soldiers back.

Di Hongyuan was on the horse, but he did not panic, and ordered the flag bearer to give an order, beat the drum and command the soldiers to resist, and never retreat. On the contrary, the bandits never imagined that the Sui army would send troops in the middle of the night, and they dared to send troops in the middle of the night, and they could not organize an effective attack for a while. Under the effective and orderly impact of the Sui soldiers, it was inevitable that they would be defeated and retreated. Di Hongyuan kept Xiao Buyi's order in mind, and saw that the bandits were defeated and retreated, but he did not attack and chase, but just followed the steps and ordered the soldiers to march forward at a speed, and it didn't take too long to work hard, the front army was exhausted, the phalanx was sharp, and the number of people became mighty, and the bandits could not stop it, and they scattered and fled!

The armor in front of the Shangchun Gate is sonorous, the footsteps are neat, and the sound of the murmur sounded in the dark night, and there was a kind of thrilling power connotation. In the footsteps, the Chinese army killed in order, and the headquarters led by the four generals Shu Zhanwei also went out of the city gate smoothly, and the expected bloody battle in front of the city gate and the situation of robbers coming to trap did not appear, and I couldn't help but be more convinced of Xiao Buyi's inference. The Wagang people are bluffing, the main force has not yet arrived!

But if it weren't for Xiao Buyi's insistence on sending troops, who in the eastern capital would have the courage to send troops at this time?

As soon as the Chinese army came out, the Sui army was already overwhelming, Xiao Buyi sat in the middle army, and with an order, the four generals of Shu Zhanwei had already divided into two routes, ignoring the scattered bandits, and rushed forward, and soon disappeared into the dark night.

Di Hongyuan ordered the soldiers to go straight to the north, and along the way, the sound of the sound was neat and calm, and the footsteps echoed in the sky above the eastern capital, stirring in the hearts of all the people.

Tonight, destined for sleeplessness!

**

Bing Yuanzhen hadn't rested yet, he rode his horse to patrol around Huiluocang, and ordered tens of thousands of bandits to dig ditches and build soil, and he was busy. Back to the fires around Luocang, of course, this is also a suspicious tactic, which only makes the Sui soldiers mistakenly think that the soldiers are stationed here, and they dare not fight easily.

The ease of conquering back to Luocang made him a little surprised, and he also admired Pushan Gong's clever calculations even more.

However, at this time, it should be better to call Li Mi Wei Gong, since Wagang Luokou defeated Duan Da's elite soldiers of 30,000 in the first battle, the world has shaken. Although Li Mi ambushed Zhang Xutuo first and retreated Yang Yichen, after all, they were all conspiracy, but this time he defeated Duan Da and sent troops in a dignified manner, which was convincing.

There are countless bandits and Sui ministers from various counties in Henan, and Li Mi's prestige has long been prosperous. After the defeat of Duan Da, Zhai Rang respected Li Mi as the main and gave Li Mi the title of Duke of Wei, which meant that the big boss of Wagang from now on was Li Mi. Li Mi set up the Wei Mansion, also known as the Marshal's Mansion of the March, and it was also a wise monarch who gave amnesty to the world. However, his world is still in the middle of Henan, and he is powerless to forgive others. The Duke of Wei's mansion set up three divisions and six guards, and the end was strong and strong, and the talents were like carp crossing the river. Bing Yuanzhen was also made an official of the right long history of the Marshal's Mansion, which shows that Li Mi really looks at him differently. Because Fang Xuanzao is considered a close confidant of Li Mi, he is only an official appointed as the chief of the Marshal's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Bing Yuanzhen drank and ordered the Wagang group of thieves to say: "Hurry up and dig the ditch and lay out the trenches, and no one is allowed to sleep tonight." ”

Zhai Mosheng on the side muttered: "Bing Youshi, what's the hurry, the officers and soldiers are vulnerable now, we have occupied Huiluocang, and they don't even dare to fart." In fact, it is too late to do the trenches tomorrow. ”

Bing Yuanzhen's face was gloomy, "This is what Duke Wei ordered, Zhai Mosheng, do you dare to disobey?" ”

Zhai Mosheng frowned, and said unhappily: "Bing Yuanzhen, don't give you a nose and face, always use Wei Gong to oppress people." Don't forget, when the five tigers of Wagang were there, Wei Gong didn't know which mouse hole they were drilling! ”

Bing Yuanzhen glanced at Zhai Mosheng and said softly: "Mosheng, I won't quarrel with you, you have to remember that this is Duke Wei's order." Ming said that Duke Wei will arrive, if we can't complete Duke Wei's orders, then we will be dealt with by military law, of course I can't be spared, and you are the same. ”

Zhai Mosheng remembered Li Mi's severity, shuddered, raised his horsewhip and whipped at a bandit: "Your grandmother's, hurry up, don't pretend to be a grandson." He pointed out that Sang scolded Huai, Bing Yuanzhen turned a deaf ear, but he also urged the bandits to step up construction. At this moment, a flying horse arrived, and a bandit said in a panic: "Bing Youshi, the big thing is not good, the Sui soldiers have already killed out of Shangchun Gate and are killing in this direction, but I am afraid that it will arrive soon." ”

Bing Yuan was really stunned and said in disbelief: "How is it possible, how can they have such courage, Duke Wei said that they will not be able to send troops until at least tomorrow afternoon!" ”

Before he finished speaking, another bandit rushed over, "Bing right history, the big thing is not good, there is a Sui army approaching on the left side of Luocang." ”

"Bing right history, there is a large army coming to attack back to Luocang."

"Bing Youshi, there is a Sui army coming to attack just south of Luocang!"

In the blink of an eye, Hui Luocang was attacked on three sides, Bing Yuanzhen still wanted to believe it, but he had already heard the drums in the south in a hurry, the sound of fighting was in the sky, and the battle broke out in an instant without warning!

The bandits and the Sui army who reported the military situation came to attack, but it was only a moment of effort, which caught Bing Yuanzhen off guard!

Bing Yuan was really anxious, but he still calmly shouted: "Zhai Mosheng, you take 2,000 people to fight against the Sui army on the left, Zhang Qian, you take 2,000 people to resist the Sui army on the right, no matter what, you must guard until dawn!" "Hold until dawn, the Wagang army will come to reinforce and return to Luocang, who will kill the deer, it is not yet known! Seeing that the military situation was urgent, Zhai Mosheng and Zhang Qian didn't care about saying anything, so they hurriedly ordered the bandits to defend, but Bing Yuanzhen ordered the bandits to put down their pickaxes and take up arms to fight against the Sui army. It's just that he trusts Li Mi too much, and has few other defenses, and most of the bandits are used to dig ditches, and they are panicked for a while.

Only then did I organize nearly a thousand people to meet him, and just wanted to set up a formation in front of the trench that had just been dug, only to see countless Sui soldiers emerge in the dark night, roaring and charging, and the spears and short knives exuded a chilling light in the dark night......**
