Chapter 417: Fire Attack?
"This Jiangdong general is also alert!" Zhang Liao listened to the news brought to him by the scouts of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the vanguard troops brought by General Jiangdong directly settled in a dense forest outside the way. There are a full 5,000 people spying on the stove, and these 5,000 people have killing intent, and they are not ordinary soldiers and horses at first glance.
Originally, Zhang Liao planned that if this vanguard force came directly to the way, he would use a large-scale cavalry charge on the plain outside the city on the way to directly eat the vanguard of Jiangdong first, thwart the enemy's spirit, and then wait for the more than 40,000 enemy troops to go around, but now it seems that it is not very reliable to eat this vanguard force directly.
With the barrier of the dense forest, it can be said that Zhang Liao is now in his hands as a tough Xiliang iron cavalry can not be used, and this dense forest is not far from the city on the way, although there are dozens of miles, but for the cavalry, it is only half an hour, even for the infantry is also half a day, this Jiangdong general stationed the army in the dense forest, or very generous to let Zhang Liao's scouts go to investigate in order to tell Zhang Liao, he Jiangdong Army is coming. The enemy is in the dark and they are in the light.
"What banner is the Jiangdong Army waving?!" Zhang Liao is a little interested, who is this general?
"General, under the banner of Lu Zi!" The scout on the side reported.
"Lu?!" Zhang Liaosi thought about it for a while, there is really no Jiangdong general surnamed Lu, and the famous ones in Jiangdong are those Huang Gai and Han Dang, and there is really no such one surnamed Lu. How did this person come about?
"Surname Lu?!" Zhang Liao didn't know who it was, but Xu Sheng on the side seemed to vaguely know the name.
"General Xu Sheng knows?!" Zhang Liao asked.
"I don't know. But when he was once by the lord's side, the lord mentioned a Jiangdong general surnamed Lu! This man's name is Lu Meng. Twenty up and down, the lord said that this person has the talent of a general, good at commanding troops, and can even be a handsome, but there is a lack of training, if the training is good, it is a commander, and if the training is not good, it will only be on paper! Xu Sheng told Zhang Liao everything he knew.
"Lu Meng, twenty or so?!" Zhang Liao thought for a moment. This is a young general, twenty years old, a young general in Jiangdong at that time, no wonder Zhang Liao didn't know, but this person also made Zhang Liao nod Ah, there are far fewer young people who can be so alert and calm instead of rampage.
The current Zhang Liao army has fallen into a predicament, and he wants to encircle the point to send reinforcements. It was to swallow the enemy in one bite, Zhang Liao's strategy had been successful, relying on Qin Feng's letter of help in the city on the way, the 50,000 army in Jiangdong was divided, and the vanguard force was dispatched, and Zhang Liao was also ready to eat this vanguard in one fell swoop. But now hiding in the dense forest is hard to swallow, if you can't eat this vanguard force, you can't thwart the enemy's sharp spirit, and then it's not easy to fight.
"General, let's take the city first. Destroy these 20,000 enemies! After the difficulty, he will fight a decisive battle with the 50,000 army of Jiangdong! On the side, Ge Jun gave Zhang Liaojian a yì road.
"Yes, General Zhang Liao. Our army's ballistae are abundant in live ammunition, and it is completely possible to take the city on the way first, and then it is not too late to entangle with this group of Jiangdong enemy troops, otherwise we will be attacked on our backs when his army arrives. "Xu Sheng is also the chief general of the First Army, and his Jianyì Zhang Liao will naturally consider it. Zhang Liao did not immediately give Xu Sheng an answer.
If you really want to take the city on the way, then it's still okay, relying on the attack of ballistas, the city on the way has long been panicked, if Zhang Liao doesn't take out much, as long as he takes out 8,000 men and horses to come out and forcibly attack the city, the city will inevitably be broken on the way!
As for the Jiangdong enemy army in this dense forest, even if he galloped to help, don't look at the elite of 5,000, Zhang Liao can completely divide his troops into 2,000 heavy armored cavalry, and he can stop the battle of 5,000 steps.
But what can you do on the way to it! said that he Zhang Liao used to be the coach of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry can only attack, not good at defense, so let Zhang Liao be beaten passively, and he really can't do it.
They are encircling the point to send reinforcements, but they are not playing hard with Jiangdong Sun Ce, and if they continue to fight like this, the loss will be too great.
"Zhang Hu, go find a local people!" Zhang Liao suddenly said to Zhang Hu on the side.
"Looking for a common man?" Although Zhang Hu didn't understand, he immediately asked his subordinates to look for it, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find a single person, these people either had already hidden in the city, or they had already left the Linhuai generation, which was a little better than Yangzhou, but it was not much better.
In the end, Zhang Hu brought Zhang Liao a scout, and this scout was one of them who sent a letter to Jiangdong, after all, although Zhang Liao deliberately let those scouts leave, he had to pretend to be a fraud! Otherwise, it will be seen through by others at a glance, how can you plan!
"Let go, let go of me!" A scout of Qin Fengjun's army was escorted up by Zhang Hu.
"General, the last general is incompetent and has failed to find the people around here, yes!" Zhang Hu pointed at the scout and said.
"It's all the same!" Zhang Liao didn't care too much about whether it was a common man or a sergeant, as long as it was a person on the way!
"Kill me, I won't say anything!" The scout was also stubborn, and without saying anything, he turned his head away, not saying a word.
"Hehe, it's hard!" Zhang Liao rarely smiled, "It's a pity that the master who follows is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." "Qin Feng ran away as soon as he lost Linhuai City, and from the information given by Yangzhou's Jinyi Guard, this Qin Feng is not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also very lustful and wealthy.
But I didn't expect such a master to have such a tough subordinate below, and I originally thought that this Qin Feng's subordinates were like the thousands of young master soldiers in Linhuai City.
"You still want to talk about it in our general's tent!" Zhang Hu went up is Meng De kicked on the body of this soldier, although Zhang Hu is only a second-rate general, but this strength is not small, a kick kicked this scout directly into the mouth of a sweet, blood overflowed from the corner of the mouth.
"Kill it, and don't say it!" The scout shouted in struggle.
"General, this kid has a hard mouth. Do you want to go down?! Ge Jun asked Zhang Liao, meaning that he would leave this scout for interrogation first. Only then did he bring it up, and it was naturally easy to open his mouth when he was punished.
"No!" Zhang Liao shook his head, he didn't have much time, if he went to torture again, I was afraid it would be too late.
"It's good to be tough, don't worry, I won't let you betray your lord, I just want to ask you simple questions?!" Zhang Liao lowered his body and approached the scout.
"Humph!"
"If you can answer me this question, I'll let my men let you go! If you're still stubborn. Then you go and die! You can still find a scout again, I don't believe everyone is as hard-mouthed as you! Zhang Liao said to the scout.
"Hmph, I won't say it, you executioner, butcher, sue your military secretary, and in the end the guide will only be to slaughter all the people on my way. I won't sue you, what's so terrible about death! This scout spat out a bloody sputum from his mouth, but fortunately, Zhang Liaodu quickly avoided it.
"Slaughter the city?!" Zhang Liao listened to what this scout said, and he finally knew why this little scout was so tough, it turned out that it was because of the slaughter of the city.
"When did our general say slaughtering the city!" Zhang Hu retorted on the side.
"Hey!" Zhang Liao stopped Zhang Hu's words, and they didn't say anything about slaughtering the city. But Qin Feng in this city said that this Qin Feng must have spread the news that Zhang Liao's army was going to slaughter the city on the way to the city, which made the people panic on the whole way, and the whole enemy was also angry. This Qin Feng is really a character, he can make up such words in order to protect himself. Knowing how to use people's hearts is just like back then. Lao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Tao Qian said that Lao Cao wanted to slaughter the city, which made the entire Xuzhou go all out to defend the city, and Liu Mang's army was not a good person, after all, Liu Mang's army had a precedent of slaughtering the city, so Qin Feng could take advantage of this precedent!
No matter how Zhang Hu explains it now, he won't believe this scout, this scout must be a local on the way, otherwise he wouldn't be like this to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao doesn't need Zhang Hu to explain whether he is slaughtering the city, what he needs is not this, what he needs is this scout, he is a local on the way, this is the most important thing.
"I said, Ben General Zhang Liao, the things you asked must have nothing to do with the city on the way, I just want to know the weather on the way these days, you just need to tell sù, when was the earliest rain in the city on the way! As long as you sue me, I will let you go, and I believe that your old mother must be in the city on the way! Can't you bear to let your old mother last up with a white man to send a black man! Zhang Liao said to this scout of the Qin Feng Army.
"Mother? How does he know?! "Zhang Hu and Ge Jun on the side think that Zhang Liao is making it up, and you don't know people, how do you know if they have an old mother.
"Mother!" When Zhang Liao said this, this scout seemed to really think of his mother.
"You say you're dead, who will take care of your old mother! Do you still expect your robes to be in the city on the way? Do you count on your lord who is greedy for life and afraid of death? As long as you tell me about the weather on the way, I'll let you go! Let you be a filial son! Zhang Liao captured the hearts of the people, and he was using the filial piety of this soldier.
was aroused by Zhang Liao's filial piety in his heart, and the scout gritted his teeth and said, "This is true!" ”
"Really?!" Zhang Hu and Ge Jun were stunned, this scout really had an old mother at home! Is this Zhang Liao a god?
Of course, Zhang Liao is not a god, and the existence of an old mother in this scout's family is not from an unpredictable prophet, but an inference.
Although this person is a scout of Qin Fengjun, Zhang Liao saw that this person has patches on both the shoes on the soles of his feet and his body, these patches are neatly played, this is a woman's craftsmanship, so it can be so fine, and this person looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and he may have married at the age of fifteen or sixteen among the scholars, but it is not so early among the people, so this scout cannot be a person with a wife, then there is only an old mother.
"Of course it's true!" Zhang Liao smiled and nodded, he was about to succeed.
"Don't ask anything other than the weather?!"
"Of course! Except for the weather, I don't need to lie to you, Zhang Liao, you are not worth deceiving a small soldier! It's not much to kill you, and it's not a lot to kill you! ”
"Good! I sue you! The young scout nodded, and spoke from his mouth.
"It's not raining for half a month?!" Zhang Liao got the news from the mouth of this scout that it had not rained in the city for half a month on the way, Zhang Liao looked at the sky outside the camp, and the sky was clear beyond the sky, "Sure enough!" ”
"You said you sent me away!" The scout on the side shouted.
"Someone will send him down!" Zhang Liao waved his hand and asked his subordinate Zhang Hu to send this scout of the Qin Feng army away.
"Someone, help me cut down a big tree in the nearby jungle and send it to me!"
Soon a big tree that had just been cut down from the dense forest was delivered, and Zhang Liao caressed the bark of the tree with his hand, as well as his branches, trunks and leaves, his fingers were dry, and only the moisture under the roots of the tree was heavier.
Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately ordered: "Pass on my military order, all the army will rest for half a day today, and break through the enemy camp early tomorrow morning!" ”
"General Zhang Liao, you already have a strategy to break the enemy?!" Xu Sheng, Wang Wei and others on the side were all confused.
"Naturally!" Zhang Liao said very confidently.
"Since you have a strategy to break the enemy, why don't you break the enemy now and swallow the vanguard of the Jiangdong Army so as not to have more dreams at night!"
"Don't worry, things haven't arrived yet, how can it be done!" Zhang Liao said to the generals under his command.
"What do you want?!"
"Without him! Fierce fire oil! Zhang Liao said the name very indifferently.
"Fierce Fire Oil?!" Now Wang Wei understood, Wang Wei was not only strong in martial arts, but also good at using his brain, so Liu Mang put Wang Wei and Xu Sheng, an impulsive person, together.
"General, you want to attack with fire?!"
"Yes!"
"General, how can this Jianghuai region be attacked by fire?!" The following generals don't understand, you know, this Lu Meng hid in the dense forest naturally has his own plans, the first is the Jianghuai area is densely forested, the second is the Jianghuai region, and the other is that the weather in the Jianghuai area is mostly rainy. So if you really want to attack with fire, you may not be able to burn a few grasses.
"Hehe, that's why I asked about the Qin Feng Army scout just now!" Zhang Liao explained to his subordinates, "It hasn't rained for half a month on the way, you look at this forest, except for the dampness of the foundation, the rest of the place has been dry, and even God is standing here with us!" ”
"But what about the river in the middle of the forest?!" There are streams in the middle of the forest, and if there is a fire, these streams can be used to fight fires!
"That's why you're going to need this fire oil!" Xu Sheng on the side helped Zhang Liao explain that Xu Sheng had seen Liu Mang use it in the past, and this thing could burn on the surface of the river, let alone these streams.
"Huh!" Zhang Liao didn't refute or approve, just smiled indifferently. "Tomorrow will know!"
