~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the west of Huangxian County, near a mountain forest, there is a forbidden area, that is the base camp of Donglai County, a radius of 20 miles, prohibiting the passage of people and animals, no order to trespass, no matter who it is, it will be punished as an enemy, and there is no forgiveness for killing!
At this time, under a cliff in the northeast of this mountain forest, Guan Tongzheng led more than a dozen guards to sit or stand, as if they were waiting.
Guan Tong is indeed waiting for a person, a general of the rank of a general (higher than the tun chief, lower than the military marquis) in the Donglai County Barracks, and under the temptation of heavy money, he is willing to reveal a heavy piece of information to him. But there are two requirements, one is to get cash; The second is to personally disclose this news to Guan Tong, and the others will not say a word, because the other party claims to only trust the famous "Guan Jizi" in Donglai. If you change someone else, I'm afraid that you will have a life to take the money, but you will not have a life to suffer.
For a person who sells intelligence, it is reasonable to have such concerns. Although the other party proposed to only interview Guan Tong, and the others ignored it, which seemed unpleasant, but Guan Tong was not unhappy, but quite happy, which shows that his popularity in Donglai is still good, and he can really be called a golden envoy with teeth, plus the four words "heavy dà intelligence", which makes him itch even more, so he readily agreed.
The commander sat on a shoulder, and his entourage was dressed as a pair of hats, canes, and wooden clumps, which was to prevent the patrol from having an excuse to climb the heights to escape the heat. On the bottom side of the shoulder, there is a built-in hundred gold, which is the intelligence fee for the other party.
The reason why there are only a dozen guards is because this is a forbidden area after all. There are many people with too many eyes, and it is easy to arouse suspicions, otherwise it is not difficult to bring hundreds of customers casually with the background of management.
While waiting, Guan Tong closed his eyes and wondered if the other party's information would confirm what he had expected. If Tai Shi Ci did not go north on this trip, but turned back halfway and took a boat along the coast to the west. Zhiye gathered a large army and attacked Yuan in the west, what kind of damage would it cause to Yuan's army that was besieging Beihai?
First of all, it is certain that Tai Shici's troops will not be large, two thousand to the top, even if he joins forces with Beihai, he will not have an advantage in terms of troops, so he will definitely take advantage of Yuan's army to surprise attack. As long as you notify Yuan Dagongzi in time, be prepared in advance. It will definitely make the Liaodong Army useless and fall into a struggle with the Yuan army.
It's just that Tai Shici's remarks are just to confuse Yuan Xiansi?
The management was horrified. Huo Ran opened his eyes - no! Tai Shi Ci was obviously suspicious of himself, how could he not be monitored?
"Quick, get out of here!" The management system is in a hurry to shoot the pole. Categorically ordered.
The servant was stunned: "Master, wait a little longer, and it will be the appointed hour......
The ruler was furious. grabbed the cane and rushed to the head of the servant: "Wait a little longer, it will be the time to take the old man's life!" ”
So the group hurried along the road and ran to the back mountain.
Just after walking for a while, a general dressed in a Liaodong military uniform hurried over, but what he saw was an empty valley......
The general walked to the foot of the mountain wall where Fang Cai Guan Tong and the others were staying, and sighed lightly: "The old thief is really vigilant, but since you have come out, don't think about going back." ”
Straighten the line until you leave the back mountain and turn onto the avenue, as long as you go one hundred and ten steps further, and pass the eye-catching warning monument next to the road, you will be out of the forbidden area.
As soon as Guan Tong breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he heard a sound like thunder behind him, and the guard's frightened voice came into his ears: "It's not good, it's a patrol horse!" Sky! There were forty or fifty horsemen......"
"Quick! Rush over the Warning Monument! Guan Tong almost wanted to jump off his shoulder and run by himself, but at this critical moment, he didn't forget to do one thing that killed two birds with one stone: he took the hundred gold as a reward and threw it to the guards. It can not only reduce the burden on the shoulders, but also buy people's hearts.
The two strong domestic servants who carried the shoulders were out of breath, and they almost vomited breakfast when they turned the management upside down.
More than a dozen guards behind him drew their blades and formed a formation, intending to stop them, but what came to them was a rain of arrows, which instantly shot these loyal protectors to pieces, and the rest were all scattered, and the hundred gold was also scattered all over the ground - in front of the regular cavalry charge and strong arrows, the so-called ranger swordsmen were only abused.
Ten more steps! The sound of hooves behind him was sharp.
Guan Tong didn't care about anything else, turned down his shoulders, threw off his arms, and rushed to the line of life and death at the fastest speed in his life.
There are three more steps! The stele seemed to be within reach, but the fishy heat from the horse's nose seemed to have squirted to the back of the neck.
Guan Tong suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Don't do it, I'm the ......"
"Whoever you are, the trespasser is dead!"
A cold light flashed, and the head of the commander flew up, and his dead gray eyes widened - not only was it unbelievable that the other party dared to kill him, but what was even more incredible was that the person who attacked him was actually Donglai Juncheng who replaced his original position.
Lv Dai!
A puff of angry blood splattered the boundary monument, and the head flew over the boundary monument, while the body fell under the monument.
……
When Lu Dai was cleaning up the thieves in Donglai, in Duchang, hundreds of miles away, Kong Rong also showed a hot side, and brazenly killed his adviser Zuo Chengzu, the reason was that Zuo Chengzu persuaded him to surrender the city to Yuan. After Kong Rong killed Zuo Chengzu, he even hung his head at the city gate, not only to show his attitude to the city's heroes, but also to demonstrate to Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan was really enraged, changed the silence for many days, personally led the army out of the camp, and attacked Duchang again.
From mid-August to mid-September, the battle lasted for a month, during which Yuan Tan launched a total of six sieges, five of which took place in August and only once in September. The first three battles were fierce, and the interval was short, which was to take a drum and quickly capture Duchang. However, after being repulsed in succession and causing many casualties, Yuan Tan realized that it was impossible to capture this fortified city in the short term, so he slowed down the pace and focused on siege, supplemented by battle. Prepare to use the advantages of troops, combat power, and morale to exhaust the enemy of Duchang little by little, and finally break the enemy.
Yuan Tan's strategy actually coincides with Kong Rong, everyone is fighting to see who can survive in the end.
The siege warfare of this era is often dull and lackluster, and throughout a book of "Three Kingdoms", the most recorded siege tactics in it are to dig tunnels into trenches and cut off the connection between inside and outside the city, often for a year and a half. At this time, it depends on whether the food reserves in the city are sufficient, if the food of the defending side is eaten before the besieging side, the army will be defeated and the city will be broken; The besieging side will eat the food before the defender, and the labor will be in vain. The victory or defeat of the war is no longer in the people, but in the food.
Due to the general lack of heavy siege equipment, the siege of the city with the power of nature has become a distinctive tactic in the siege warfare of the Three Kingdoms. What flooding, laying soil, digging (tunnels), fire attack, etc., the Five Elements Tactics play smoothly, and there are countless examples of warfare in this regard.
Yuan Tan took the method of digging a trench into a trench, and dug a circular trench around Duchang City, two zhang wide and deep, except for the west and south gates of Duchang, there was no other passage, and put on a posture of trapping Kongrong.
People are trapped, but the siege is the most taboo, and if there is no war for a long time, the soldiers will be tired and their morale will fall. Yuan Tan is thinking about fighting again recently, but Donglai's movements are unknown, which makes him a little unable to let go. At this moment, he received a letter from Donglai. After reading it, Yuan Tan stroked his palms and laughed: "It is worthy of Mr. Ji Li, and it really didn't disappoint me." Tai Shici went north and returned to Liao, which is very good, so we can fight with all our might. ”
This time, he wants to give Kong Rong a ruthless blow.
Kong Rong thought that he was killing the strategists under the command of the Yuan family, and gave Yuan Tan an excuse to fight, in fact, the real reason was the letter of the management - of course, Yuan Tan couldn't imagine that at this time, the "Mr. Ji Li" in his mouth had already been in a different place, and the four mansions in Huang County where he was located, more than 460 people, were all rounded up by Lu Dai's troops, or killed or arrested.
Yuan Jun Zhongjun, a high platform with a radius of ten zhang, the word "Yuan" is blowing in the wind, the left side of the platform is the flag trumpeter, the right side is the heavy armor guard, around the high platform, it is full of various colors of tooth flags. Under the high platform, eight drum carts are lined up, surrounded by hundreds of horsemen, the armor is dazzling, the sword and bow are out of the sheath, and the killing intent is awe-inspiring.
And Yuan Tan, the commander of the Chinese army, sat under the green umbrella cover in the middle of the high platform, wearing a shining bright light armor, lined with the rather majestic face of the national character, which was even more powerful.
Xiao Yuan's guard of honor and posture in the Chinese army is full of learning from Lao Yuan.
A deep voice came from the stage: "Where are Lu Kuang and Su You?" ”
"The last general!"
The two generals wearing red and brown iron leaf scale armor responded loudly, quickly picked up the steps and came to the stage, Bai Ling trembled, the nail leaves were sonorous, and the two generals were separated from each other and bowed to Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan kept turning the jade hammer on his thumb with one hand (the finger of the archery buckle string), his eyes were cold, and he motioned to the guards to present to Lu Kuang the vermilion tray containing the order flag, batch arrows, cymbal horns, halberds and other military order honor guards: "Lu Kuang listened to the order and ordered you to lead a thousand infantry troops to attack the West Gate, and you must hold on for two hours." ”
Lu Kuang, who was full of beard, took the tray and bowed with his fists: "The last general will take the order." ”
Yuan Tan handed the same tray to Su You again: "Su You listened to the order and ordered you to lead a thousand infantry troops to attack the south gate, and you must also hold on for two hours." ”
Su You, who had two beards, bowed down to receive the order.
The two generals pinned to Zhu Pan with both arms, stepped off the stage, and entered the battle separately.
About two o'clock later, on both sides of the platform, eight wrestlers simultaneously raised their wooden mallets tied with red silk and slammed them on the cowhide drum.
Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!
The drums of war sounded, and the left and right wings of Yuan's army walked out of two thousand-man phalanxes. The spears and halberds are like a forest, the battle flags are covered, the cangtou is dense, and the pace is rumbling, almost overshadowing the sound of war drums. The two army formations respectively held high the two flags of "Lu" and "Su", one walked to the west gate, and the other went around the south gate.
And on the four walls of Duchang City, there are already soldiers with swords and bows out of the sheath, auxiliary soldiers carrying various utensils on their shoulders, and from time to time you can hear the nervous shouts of the city wall, as well as countless hasty figures running back and forth.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sea breeze is fierce.
The big war is about to break out. (To be continued......)
