Chapter 507: Fierce Attack
At the moment when the two were talking, a bloodied captain of the camp was already riding his horse and galloping towards this side, shouting loudly: "General, general!" More than 30 cavalry of Cao's army suddenly broke through from the east, and our troops were insufficient, and it was difficult to encircle and kill them all. β
"From which side? Which direction is the goal? Because it was too noisy, the soldier was out of breath again, and Gao Shun didn't hear it clearly for a while.
The lieutenant reined in his horse, stopped castration abruptly, and the horse rose up. "Back to the general, the direction of the breakthrough and the direction of escape are both eastern!"
"East?" Gao Shun muttered silently, then fell into deep thought, and stared at Cao Jun on the hill without blinking.
After a while, his gaze suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhang Jing sharply: "Zhang Jing, you lead a thousand flying dragon troops to withdraw, you don't need to surround the hill, as long as you force a large number of favored infantry not to flee." β
"Master, what do you want?" Zhang Jing vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure, and asked out loud.
"I'm going to attack his old nest, Yingyang!" Gao Shun said categorically: "He sent dozens of horsemen to break through, and he must have rushed to Linying to ask Xiahou Yuan for help." If we attack these dead soldiers who have fallen into the Jedi, not only will we lose the elite troops, but it will not make much sense. β
"And when Xiahou Yuan hears the news, I'm afraid that he only needs to lead the cavalry to arrive here first in the afternoon of tomorrow, no matter how elite our two thousand people are, after all, there are few people, and we can't face multiple enemies at the same time. As for the yellow scarves in Xiangcheng in the back, don't count on it, they still have the courage to stay in Xiangcheng, even if it is good. β
"If Xiahou Yuan arrives with his troops tomorrow, you will take advantage of the rapid action of our army and deal with it. Be sure to drag Man Pet and Xiahou Yuan along. The longer you drag it on, the better. Give me more time. β
"When you really can't hold it off, you can retreat into Xiangcheng and take over the defense of Xiangcheng with full authority, and you can't let Xiangcheng fall no matter what. After you arrange this later, you will send someone to contact the Yellow Turban guard of Xiangcheng, who is He Yi's confidant and knows that they have surrendered. β
Zhang Jing nodded, but his face was still full of worry. He said loudly: "Master, there should be no big problems on my side, and I will definitely try my best to gain time." But isn't it too risky for the master to go to Yingyang with only a thousand trapped camps? β
"So far, I haven't seen Xiahoudun and Yingyang's cavalry, this Yingyang must still have a large number of soldiers and horses, although the master is in the camp, but the number is small, is it ...... to capture Yingyang, which is heavily garrisoned?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jing had already paused. looked at Gao Shun with burning eyes.
Gao Shun certainly understood what he meant, but looked back at Zhang Jing. But he smiled and said: "Zhang Jing, you are mistaken, Yingyang is now almost an empty city, with a maximum of 1,000 troops, it is impossible to completely defend a big city like Yingyang, with the elite of my trapped camp, it will definitely be able to break through quickly!" β
Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "One, two thousand? Why is that? In my opinion, this time the full favor only brought more than 5,000 foot soldiers, seven or eight hundred cavalry, and Yingyang still has at least four or five thousand people, and there must be a large number of cavalry among them. β
"Hahaha......" Gao Shun laughed confidently and calmly explained: "Yingyang is obviously closer to here, but after the failure of full favor, he did not go to Yingyang in the north to find Xiahouyuan for help, but to the east Linying to ask for help Xiahouyuan, he fell into such a desperate situation, if Yingyang has soldiers and horses, then how can he be willing to seek far?" β
As he spoke, Gao Shun was already looking at the stunned Zhang Jing, and said softly: "Zhang Jing, you are familiar with military books, and you have a lot of experience in war, but the biggest deficiency is that you like to drill a single horn tip, and the time of using soldiers is too tight, lack of tension, and the lord has also said that you have been many times." β
Zhang Jing immediately nodded: "Thank you, Master, for teaching me!" β
Hearing this, Gao Shun waved his hand indifferently, but he looked back in the direction of his father's city, and his brows furrowed tightly: "What I'm worried about now is the whereabouts of Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses." If there is no miscalculation, then it should be an attack on the camp of the father's city, there are only Zhang Liao and a thousand Xiaoyaojin dead soldiers, and there are less than 400 sharpshooters brought back by the lord, and the danger of the lord's public security is really worrying. β
"This ......" Zhang Jing exclaimed, and then turned around eagerly to leave: "Then I have to send someone to inform the boss quickly!" β
"It's too late!" Gao Shun stretched out his hand to hold it, shook his head and said: "Since he is full of favor and is in a deep crisis, he has no intention of looking for Xiahoudun at all, which means that he knows that Xiahoudun is far away from here early in the morning." β
"At present, in addition to Xiangcheng, the most effective point of attack for Cao Jun is the Father's City Battalion. It is not difficult to see that Xiahoudun must have attacked the camp of his father's city long before he sent out his troops, and now it is useless to send people there, I guess it should be missed with us on the road, the big road we walked, and the small road they took! β
Zhang Jing was worried, and the more he listened, the more anxious he became: "Then how is this good?" If they are defenseless, no matter how powerful Zhang Liao and Xiaoyaojin are dead, how can they block the night attack of thousands of cavalry in their sleep? β
"Hey! Helpless! Gao Shun also sighed, but then quickly cheered up, and said loudly: "But no matter what happens over there, since we can't save it, then we can only create the greatest results, see who hurts who first, don't think about anything else, he attacks the camp of his father's city, I will beat him Yingyang, whoever can't stand it first, will lose!" β
Speaking of this, Gao Shun didn't say anything more, and after solemnly handing over Xiangcheng to Zhang Jing, he ordered the soldiers in the camp and rushed to Yingyang......
As the offensive retreated, the full pet on the hill breathed a sigh of relief, and after instructing the soldiers to pay close attention to the movement of the troops under the hill, he let the soldiers rest on the spot. For him, whether he can escape this catastrophe at present depends on whether he can support it until tomorrow afternoon, when Xiahou Yuan leads the army to arrive!
Because Yingyang is very close to Xiangcheng, the two cities are next to each other, and Man Pet has made up his mind to take it in one go, so he did not bring grain and grass to carry the troops this time, and only let the soldiers bring a day's dry food with them, and at the same time, the siege equipment is only the simplest hook and ladder.
To put it bluntly, an iron hook was cast at the top of a ladder, and when attacking the city, the hook was attached to the city wall, and the soldiers could climb it. The ladder was made of bamboo or wood, and was relatively lightweight, allowing soldiers to carry it at high speeds.
Feeling out the dry cake in his arms, he took a bite of it, as a Confucian general who was both civil and military, but partial to literature. He needs to stay well nourished. Feed his brain to think.
The war was fought too passively. He is still collecting the information in his head, connecting the front and back, and analyzing the layout and trends of Jingzhou.
This famous Confucian general in history is really a little unwilling today, this is his first defeat in this life, but he was defeated in a mess, trapped in a high post, and fell into a desperate situation! He is not afraid of death. But I never thought that I would die so aggrieved!
Time passed little by little, and the Jingzhou army under the mountain still didn't move, Man Zhong was still quietly pondering, and the whole context of the Jingzhou army was gradually clear in his mind.
Suddenly, a panicked cry came from afar. "Manjiang Army, Manjiang Army! Big things are bad, big things are bad! β
At this moment, he is in a desperate situation, how can he shout unfavorable news so much, he got up angrily and scolded angrily: "Who is talking nonsense? If the morale of the army is shaken again. Kill it now! β
The young general was not stupid, and was instantly woken up by the prestige of the full favor. Then he kept silent, and quickly ran to kneel in front of him: "Qiqi Manjiang Army, something big happened, at least half of the people under the mountain are running in the direction of Yingyang, the sky is too dark, the specific number is difficult to say." β
"What!" Full of pets let out a low voice, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly patted his thighs and blamed himself: "Eh! My fault! My fault! How could the Breakout Knight go directly to the east, wouldn't it expose Yingyang's emptiness? β
But as soon as the words were finished, the person quickly calmed down. "How many cavalry do we have?"
"About four hundred!" The youngster responded familiarly.
Man Zhong closed his eyes and calculated, and then suddenly said: "You immediately send dozens of horsemen to break through, since half of the people have already left the mountain, then it will be difficult for him to stop a small number of soldiers and horses from breaking through, you can quickly report to General Xiahou Yuan of Linying, and let him immediately divide his troops to rescue Yingyang, if Yingyang is lost, the consequences are unimaginable!" β
"No!" The young general answered, but then suddenly said again: "Manjiang Army, General Lu Qian asked the last general to ask you to lead the remaining cavalry and break through immediately!" β
What do you mean? As the commander of the army, how could he abandon the sergeant and flee alone? Manzhong waved his hand angrily and refused directly. Sue General Lu Qian, let him take good precautions against the Jingzhou army under the mountain, don't worry about me! β
The young general didn't dare to say anything more and turned to leave.
At this time, Man Pet sighed helplessly and chattered to himself: "I regret not being at the beginning!" If General Xiahoudun was willing to listen to my advice, regardless of General Xiahouyuan's request, he would have sent troops to contain the camp in his father's city first, and then sent troops to occupy several mountain and mountain roads to cut off Wang Xu's way back, how could there be such a situation? β
Not to mention the ever-changing situation here, the shape of the father city is also very tense.
Although the one-eyed Xiahoudun is fierce, he is not just a brave man!
History records that although Xiahoudun was fighting a lot in his life, he still did not forget to pay attention to the study of literature, often personally visited and greeted famous teachers, humbly sought advice, and was also frugal, and all the rewards were given to the soldiers.
It can be said that excluding his strong personality and his relatively vigorous personality, he is like a high-level literati with clean sleeves, and he is also very good at fighting.
On the eve of dawn, Xiahoudun saw that the sky had reached the darkest time, and resolutely set off again, close to the Jingzhou camp, although everyone was leading the horse and pressing the footsteps, but it was still very fast, and the black pressure was pressed one after another, rushing towards the Jingzhou camp!
Just 800 meters away, the Xiaoyaojin dead soldier on duty was extremely sensitive, and when he heard that muffled voice, although he couldn't see it that far in the middle of the night, he immediately shouted: "There is movement outside the camp!" There's movement outside the camp! β
In a moment, the entire Jingzhou camp made a "noise", and the alarm bell rang loudly.
"Bell! Clang! Bell ......"
In the distance, Xiahou Dun laughed loudly: "It is worthy of being the elite of Jingzhou, it is so sensitive, the rear is pressing, the front is on the horse, and the camp is attacked with me!" β
While speaking, he turned over and got on his horse, and ran wildly towards the Jingzhou camp, shouting and killing in an instant!
At a distance of 700 meters, the cavalry charge was only a moment's effort, and most of the dead soldiers in Xiaoyaojin were sleeping, and with their elite Cheng DΓΉ, they could only have time to rush out of the camp, but most of them were in a hurry to find a garrison point, and they were running around the camp.
Zhang Liao even rushed out with a spear to ask the sky, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "What about the dark whistle!" Why doesn't the dark post report the enemy......" (to be continued......
