Chapter 130: A Tired Soldier's Plan
Seeing Zhang Xiu's defeat and retreat, Wei Tao smiled coldly, did not pursue, but pointed at the halberd and shouted suddenly.
"Who else dares to fight me!"
Under a shout, the formation behind Zhang Ji was faintly shaken.
"Damn! Without Na Dian Wei's move, this Wei Tao's own strength is so strong! ”
Xiliang is the most martial and brave person, and Zhang Ji originally knew this, so he didn't want Zhang Xiu and Wei Tao to go head-to-head.
Of course, Dian Wei, who Zhang Ji was worried about, was one of the few people who could fight Lu Bu head-on.
But now I can't imagine that Wei Tao personally went into battle to defeat Zhang Xiu directly, so that the morale of Zhang Ji's side plummeted, and everyone was afraid and did not dare to fight.
"Collect the troops and return to the camp!"
Zhang Ji may not have other skills, but he has experienced a lot of battles, and this experience is also very rich.
knew that even if he had more soldiers under him, but now that Zhang Xiu was injured, if he fought hard with Wei Tao head-on, then I was afraid that he would be taken advantage of by Wei Tao, so he immediately decided to collect his troops and return to the camp.
Although this also has an impact, it is not impossible to eliminate it.
"This Zhang Ji is really old in the battle formation."
Wei Tao saw that although Zhang Ji had withdrawn from the army, he was upright and not chaotic, and he could even switch from retreat to attack at any time, and it was impossible for Wei Tao to order someone to attack at will.
After returning to the camp, Zhang Ji hung up the battle exemption card, unless Wei Tao forcibly attacked the opponent's camp, otherwise he would be dragged here by Zhang Ji.
"Mr. Gongda, this Zhang Ji is so cunning, what should we do?"
Wei Tao couldn't do it for a while, so he had to ask Xun You.
"If the time drags on for a long time, don't talk about what is going on in Chang'an. Even now our logistical salaries are also somewhat poor. ”
Wei Tao led an army of 15,000. The amount of food and grass consumed every day is not a small amount.
And Hanoi is newly occupied. The supply of food and grass is limited.
Before, thanks to the alliance with Cao Cao, he received some grain and grass support, but now that Cao Cao has retreated, Wei Tao can only rely on himself.
This is also one of the reasons why Xun Yu proposed that Wei Tao go to Chang'an quickly.
"Zhang Jihui is blocking us here, I'm afraid that Li Qi and others have already defeated Lu Bu, if Lu Bu is defeated, Chang'an will be in danger, and our army will inevitably be important at that time. However, if he was defeated by Zhang Ji's delay. So this time it's really a trip in vain. ”
said so, but Xun You had a faint but confident smile on his face.
"Originally, Zhang Ji's move would have taken a lot of time even if we waited for a strong attack, but now there is a plan to defeat Zhang Ji."
"Oh? Will the plan be settled? ”
Wei Tao was overjoyed, and immediately asked.
"I look at the Xiliang soldiers, although the soldiers are neat, but in fact, they are quite arrogant, and they must be lured out by the method of agitating the enemy, and then defeated in one fell swoop."
Xun Yu said without hurry, between the words. Zhishu is in hand.
"If it is an ordinary scolding battle, then the Xiliang soldiers are arrogant. But they have also experienced battle formations, and that Zhang Ji is not an easy person, so it is naturally difficult to attract them. Therefore, the lord should first use the technique of feint attack to attack and harass the enemy camp day and night, so that it cannot live in peace. So even if they don't move, they can't hold on for much longer. ”
"Good! Coup! ”
Although Wei Tao also knew this tired plan, knowing it did not mean that he could think of it as easily as Xun Yu at this time.
Xun You really deserves to be Xun You, and he is really a wise man!
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Bursts of drums sounded, thousands of troops rushed in, and countless soldiers rushed to the Zhang Ji barracks like a tide.
"Enemy attack!"
With a terrible shout, countless soldiers immediately poured out of the various tents, each taking up a vantage point, ready to meet the enemy.
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
But at this time, the drumming suddenly stopped, and instead Mingjin withdrew his troops, which was supposed to attack all the soldiers of Zhang Ji's camp, blocking the forward momentum, and then slowly retreating.
This wave of offensive has not yet been fought, and it has ended like this, which is really a little inexplicable.
"Uncle, what is Wei Tao doing? What's the point of doing that? ”
Zhang Xiu was stunned, and he really didn't understand the meaning of Wei Tao's posture of attacking and not attacking.
"This ...... I don't know, I'm afraid it was to test the defense of our army, and when I saw that our army was well prepared, I retreated. ”
Although Zhang Ji is also a veteran on the battlefield, he is obviously not among the famous generals, and he couldn't answer for a while when he heard Zhang Xiu's words, so he responded.
But soon Zhang Ji understood why.
When night fell, after all the soldiers patrolling the camp were placed, Zhang Ji just wanted to rest.
"Knock knock ......"
Drums exploded, as if they were about to launch an offensive against Zhang Ji's camp.
"Night Attack!"
The patrol soldiers shouted loudly, and the soldiers who had just fallen asleep were so frightened that they didn't even have time to wear armor, so they grabbed their weapons and rushed out.
"Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy? ”
It's a pity that when Zhang Xiu led the people to rush out, he found that the sound suddenly stopped, and then searched around for the enemy but never found it.
"General Qiyu, the enemy doesn't know why, just before rushing down the walled gate, they retreated, and we only injured dozens of people."
"What?"
Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zhang Ji coming at this time, he stepped forward and said.
"Uncle, I didn't expect that Wei Ziyu was so hateful, and he actually used such a feint to attack the tired soldiers, if it was a day or two, it would be fine, if it lasted for a long time, I am afraid it would be ......"
Zhang Xiu is obviously not stupid, in fact, where can a person who can become a general of an army be so simple, listening to the soldiers' reports, and thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xiu will understand.
"Uncle, how about we rest half of the people and keep half of them on guard?"
"Nonsense! In this way, what if Wei Tao really attacked at night? If there is a camp roar, won't my big camp be chaotic? When the time comes, the defeat will be like a mountain, not to mention this Wei Tao, even if we escape, without these 30,000 soldiers, will Li urge them to let us go? ”
Zhang Ji was older than Zhang Xiu in the battle formation, so he naturally understood that this was impossible, and when he heard what Zhang Xiu said, he couldn't help but scold.
"Actually, this plan is not difficult to break, let alone at this time, but our numbers have the upper hand. If we really fight, we may not be afraid of him! ”
"Then why is Uncle like this?"
Zhang Xiu still couldn't turn a corner for a while, and Zhang Xiu did have a hand in the marching battle, even if it was Zhang Ji, he was not as good as Zhang Ji, but he was not as scheming as Zhang Ji when he was in a situation.
"Didn't I say it, which one of Li Xu, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou is simple, and he thinks about annexing others all the time. Look at that Niu Fu, it was just a defeat, and then what happened, and the soldiers under him were immediately cleaned up. ”
Zhang Ji's face was also a little ugly.
"Why do you think we want to take the initiative to stop this Wei Ziyu, it's not because Lu Bu is brave, if we are also fighting him, it is very likely that we will be seriously killed or injured? When the time comes, it will be swallowed by others. ”
"That'...... So what to do? ”
Zhang Xiu is indeed not stupid, when he heard Zhang Ji's words, he naturally understood, and asked when he opened his mouth.
It's a pity that Zhang Ji can't either, so he can only temporarily give an order for strict defense.
"Mr. is really talented, there is already some uneasiness in the camp, especially the Xiliang soldiers, although fierce, but there is a lot of arrogance, after several harassments, he has been upset and irritable, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Ji is a veteran general for many years, and his reputation is very high, I am afraid that he can't be suppressed."
After three days of harassment, Wei Tao had already found that the soldiers in Zhang Ji's camp were quite irritable.
However, Wei Tao also had to admit that Zhang Ji was old and spicy, even so, the irritability in the camp was suppressed by Zhang Ji, and for three days, Zhang Ji was never moved.
"The lord has to worry about it, although that Zhang Ji is indeed a veteran for many years, but it is not a way to deal with it so passively. Now I see that Zhang Ji is almost overwhelmed. Zhang Ji now has only two methods, one is to fight with the lord and win to subdue. The other is to retreat from this place and give up the idea of delaying the lord. ”
Xun You smiled slightly, not surprised by Wei Tao's boasting, and then said slowly.
"I thought that Zhang Jihui chose to retreat. As soon as Dong Zhuo died, the rest of the party fought for power, everyone wanted to replace Dong Zhuo's position, Zhang Ji's own strength was weaker than the others, just looking at the past few days he avoided fighting is that he will not fight hard with the lord. ”
Xun You is indeed like a god, in fact, at this time, Zhang Jiying has already begun to pack up his things and prepare to evacuate.
"Wei Ziyu, today's humiliation, I Zhang Xiu will repay it!"
When leaving, Zhang Xiu stared at Wei Tao's camp with gritted teeth and said.
When Wei Tao received this report, he just smiled, everything was expected.
"As soon as Zhang Ji retreats like this, the journey of the lord to Chang'an will naturally be unhindered, but Lu Bu is undefeated, if we get closer to Chang'an, I am afraid that the prince will really order him to come, whether to enter or not, it still needs to be decided by the lord."
Xun You first smiled, then looked solemn and said.
Wei Tao was slightly silent, Xun You was just a strategist after all, and the real decision had to be checked by himself.
"Pass my order and go straight to Chang'an."
After being silent for a quarter of an hour, Wei Tao finally said with a sigh of relief.
"No."
Xun You also showed a smile on his face, for Xun You, Kuang Fu Han is to do, but if there is chaos today, it is impossible to do everything according to the orders of the courtiers.
Only with a certain strength can we support the Han and let the Han regain its glory.
Now for Wei Tao, the lord, Xun You is naturally more satisfied in his heart.
Once again, Wei Tao still has no idea of marching quickly, after all, the majesty of the Han family is still there, and he is not here to rob His Majesty or control the government this time, and some things cannot be rushed.
But what Wei Tao didn't expect was that he was just a few miles away, and a messenger from the imperial court came. (To be continued......)
