Chapter 63: Stealing Your "Array"
Most of the prefectures are the boundaries of Shanxi, many mountains, there are no roads extending in all directions in the ancient mountainous areas, and the wild environment is harsh, which is not conducive to marching and transporting grain. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] The Taihang Mountains divide Bingzhou from Hebei, and Huguan, which is more than 1,000 meters above sea level, holds the main route of the march into Bingzhou.
Fifteen miles east of Huguan, in a dense forest in the north, a thousand cavalry hid here.
He sent scouts to capture several Yuan soldiers who were fetching water, and after inquiry, he obtained the specific location and strength of the Yuan army's grain and grass camp.
Although there was only one large camp of grain and grass, it was divided into two families. It's just that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang each bring grain and grass, if they are mixed together, it is not easy to divide, so they use their own ones.
Gao Yuan asked the soldiers carefully, Yuan Xi's side was guarding the grain, and Yuan Shang's side was Su You.
"Five thousand!" He thought about it carefully, although there were not many soldiers, but if it was heavily garrisoned, there was not much chance of his own with only a thousand people. If they can't succeed in the first battle, but are exposed, Yuan Xi and the others will be vigilant. Then, he will lose his chance to win forever.
Gao Yuan, who only has 1,000 people, is extremely nervous, and whether this battle can succeed depends on whether he can successfully capture the "main formation" of the Yuan army, "We must take it by surprise and quickly capture the grain and grass camp of the Yuan army." ”
"Lord, let's attack at night!" Zhou Cang, who was carrying Fang Tian's halberd on the side, shouted.
"Night raid?" Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Strategically despise the enemy, tactically we must attach importance to the enemy. The enemy's defenses at night are perhaps stronger than during the day, and we have only a thousand men. ”
"What then?" Zhou Cang scratched his head and said.
Gao Yuan's brows furrowed.
……
Before noon, five miles west of Yuan's grain and grass camp.
Looking down from the sky, there were two clouds of sand and dust on the ground some distance apart. A regiment of all-cavalry in the uniform of a high-distance army shook the ground with the sound of horses' hooves. The first regiment was the infantry in the costume of the Yuan army, although there were no horses' hooves, but the footsteps were also shaking the ground.
"Run, the wolf is coming!" The infantry is the first general, and it is none other than Gao Yuan himself.
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they also shouted: "Oh no, the wolf is coming, run for your life!" ”
The cry shook the sky, and it could be heard for miles.
And Zhou Cang, who was chasing after him, touched the sweat on his forehead. turned out to be "chasing and killing" the lord, in this thousand-year war throughout the ages, he was also the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair.
Gao Yuan, while running, searched around, and after a while, he saw a lone rider galloping from the east. He breathed a sigh of relief, it must have been Yuan Jun Tanma.
Herod~, sure enough, a Yuan army came to explore the horse, and when the colonel looked at the wolf riding not far away, he panicked, he first turned the horse's head and led in front of Gao Yuan, and then turned around and asked: "Which part of you are?" ”
Gao Yuan panicked and said: "Brother, go and inform General Zhang Nan that we are the second prince's subordinates, and we were sent to the mountains to find a way to bypass Huguan." Unexpectedly, I met Gao Mengyan's Bingzhou wolf rider. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the frightened face of the horse disappeared.
At noon, outside the grain and grass camp of the Yuan army, a circle of cooking smoke rose everywhere, and the fragrance of wheat was permeated.
The guards Zhang Nan and Su You attached great importance to the garrison of the camp, and they asked the soldiers to light a fire outside the camp to cook so as not to have an accident with the grain and grass.
In this era, eating was a favorite thing for soldiers, and many people joined the army just to have enough to eat.
"Let's eat!" As soon as the cooks called out outside the fence with a horse spoon, the hula fence was full of soldiers. The eyes of admiration stared at the cook, this was the proudest time of the day.
However, shouts suddenly came from afar.
Now that it was a state of war, shouting was a sign of the enemy, and everyone was in a panic, and they didn't care about eating, so they only cast their little eyes to the west where the voice came.
I saw a black line appear on the western horizon.
Herod~, a Yuan army horse galloped into the camp, without slowing down, and shouted while running in: "Alert, alert, and the wolf ride of the state is coming!" ”
"And state wolf ride!" Yuan Jun's heart palpitations were palpitating.
There was an uproar, and the garrison stopped eating, so they scattered to find the "organization". And the cooks didn't want to eat, so they rushed to the camp with their horses and spoons.
"Report~, something is wrong. The cavalry of the Gao Yuan Army pursued and killed hundreds of our troops. Tanma entered the big tent and reported the situation to Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan and Su You were shocked at first, and after asking that there were only a few hundred cavalry, they were relieved, after all, they had 5,000 people, and they had the advantage of camping, so they were not afraid of these Xu cavalry.
So, the two quickly ordered the garrison.
When Gao Yuan led 800 "defeated soldiers" to approach the camp, he saw that a spear array had been laid in the fence. The sharp tip of the spear protruded from the gap in the fence more than half a meter long. Above the arrow tower, the archers were also ready.
Gao Yuan's mood at the moment was very nervous, if he couldn't capture the grain and grass camp, he would expose himself, and he would not be enough for these garrisons to stuff their teeth. However, in the midst of his nervousness, he also had the pleasure of "stealing" a thousand people under the noses of 50,000 enemies to sneak up on the enemy's "main formation".
"Don't let go of the arrows! Let's get inside! Takato shouted.
Zhang Nan and the others had preconceived ideas, and they never thought that these were not their own troops. How could they abandon their allies, and when they saw that distance permitted, they immediately opened the gates.
So, Gao Yuan led his troops to hula and went in.
Gao Yuan was overjoyed, and when he was talking about organizing soldiers and horses to attack Yuan's army, a hand from behind grabbed his shoulder. He turned around and looked at it, he didn't know it, but looking at the clothes, it should be a garrison general.
It was Zhang Nan who caught him, Zhang Nanyuan was in Youzhou, so he didn't know Gao Yuan, he only thought that Gao Yuan was the officer of this defeated army, and shouted: "Immediately gather your soldiers and horses and assist in the garrison." "Although there are few enemy soldiers, the prestige of the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou makes him dare not underestimate it.
However, Su You, who was beside Zhang Nan, was so clever that he could hardly believe it, and he stammered in horror, "Gao...... High...... High...... High...... High. ”
Seeing his panic, Zhang Nan immediately despised it, and said in his heart, what is high? Isn't it just a few hundred cavalry, we have 5,000 people here, what are you afraid of? The third son and his subordinates can't do it, and the second son of my family will definitely inherit the great cause in the future.
"Gao Mengyan!" Su You finally mustered up all the strength to call out.
"Gao Mengyan personally led the troops?" Zhang Nan looked out of the village.
And Gao Yuan's face behind him changed, he cooperated with Yuan Shang to encircle and suppress Zhang Yan, so this Su You knew him. He pulled out the Heavenly Sword with a loud sigh, raised his arms and shouted, "If you don't do it yet, wait for when!" ”
"Wow!" The shadow of the famous tree, seeing Gao Yuan draw his sword, Su You screamed in fright.
And Zhang Nan was very pleased, he didn't look back, and said in his heart that although this person was defeated, he seemed to be a brave fighter, and there were few enemy soldiers, and my battalion was as stable as a rock. Zhang Nan was thinking about it, when he heard a pop, he found that a sharp sword tip appeared in his chest, and he could feel his heart shrinking wildly, and with the sudden burst of blood, he didn't know anything.
"Gao Mengyan is in, run!" When Su You saw Gao Yuan kill Zhang Nan, he screamed, and the girl ran away.
Gao Yuan couldn't chase him, and began to lead his troops to strangle Yuan Jun.
No one in the Yuan army thought that Gao Yuan and these people were enemies, and they were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. When the gate was opened and the Gao Yuan cavalry rushed into the camp, Yuan's army was completely defeated.
"Victory!" Looking at Yuan Jun who scattered and escaped from the camp, Gao Yuan suddenly had an indescribable sense of prostration after "stealing".
The "main formation" of 50,000 people was in hand, and the Gao Yuan army couldn't believe that it was true. They gathered around Takato and cheered.
And Gao Yuan was also suspicious in a dream, but he quickly calmed down and ordered: "Take away everything that can be taken away, and burn all the things that can't be taken away!" ”
At this point, Gao Yuan fought desperately, and skillfully used clever tactics to capture the enemy's "main formation" with the strength of 1,000 people and under the noses of 50,000 enemies.
……
Under the closing, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang led more than 40,000 people here.
Zhao Yun pinched a cold sweat, he only had a thousand people in his hands, and it was really difficult to resist the attack of more than 40,000 enemies.
On Yuan's side, including the battle-hardened Yan Liang, everyone almost ignored the defenders at the gate. In their opinion, with a difference of more than 20 times in strength, it only takes one attack to capture Huguan.
Therefore, Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan ordered the troops to enter the preparatory stage for tackling key problems as soon as possible.
