Chapter 407: This New Year's Day Doesn't Stop (4)
Seeing that the news was successfully sent, Man Pang couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.
He told the deputy general who was in charge of guarding the west city around him to be on guard, and then Man Pang rushed to the south of the city.
When he returned to the south of the city, he had just taken over the command of the army in the south of the city, and a small colonel came to report that the Xuzhou army suddenly surrounded the four gates of the city, and there were many cavalry patrolling around the city.
Man Pang scoffed, and only now remembered to block the city gates? Isn't it a little late?
Outside the city, LΓΌ Bu handed over the task of besieging the city to Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, and Hao Meng, and he rushed to the south of the city with his back.
After entering the city, he found Tian Fan and the others who were discussing something in a whisper.
As soon as he arrived, Tian Fan hurriedly beckoned and said, "Fengxian, come here, I'm looking for someone to find you!" β
Lu Bu laughed and said, "Just remembered me?" Well, Manpang's letter has been sent, and I have sent people to surround the city. What's next? β
Tian Fan said: "Don't do anything, let's have a good rest first!" Well, it will take about two hours to get here from Yang'an, and in these two hours, we will not move except for the necessary guards! β
When Lu Bu heard this, he was anxious, and he said, "Why? Won't we take the city before Li Tong arrives? The soldiers are very tired, but the camp, the first camp and the back soldiers, as well as your three hundred personal guards, a total of 2,600 people, are still very strong! With them as the main force to attack the city, I will send another 2,000 cavalry to help, won't the city be taken? β
Tian Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Fengxian, why are you in a hurry?" Yes, you're right! However, have you ever thought that we have easily deceived Man Pang and made him believe that we are now powerless to attack the city, and asked Li Tong for help. Once we attack the city, it is certain that he will not be able to resist, but it is easy for him to burn a few fires! Once there is a fire in the city, Li Tong can see it from twenty miles away, will he still rush over? It's dark in the middle of the night, there's not even a moon, can you find them? β
Lu Bu was dumbfounded, and after a long while, he smiled wryly and said, "Uh...... Hehe, that's listening to you, rest, rest! β
Tian Fan didn't pay attention to him anymore, he said to Gao Shun: "Zhengqing, Lao Koji, go to the camp first, trap the camp, as well as my personal guards and those foot soldiers who have just withdrawn from the attack, under your command, now you will go over." As soon as Li Tong came, Lao Koji led the 4,000 foot soldiers who had been resting to press me up! Zhengqing, you lead the camp and the camp first, as well as my personal guards, as the main force of the siege! β
The two of them clenched their fists and took their orders, turned around and strode out of the city.
Tian Fan looked at Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, you go too!" The back warriors will start to rest now, and the two thousand cavalry who have been resting are also under your command! Once Li Tong comes, you will cripple them for me first, and then chase and kill them with Lao Koji! β
After a slight pause, he continued: "If possible, capture Li Tong alive for me, I will be useful!" β
Lu Bu was stunned, and he said, "We're all gone, what should you do?" β
Tian Fan said: "Don't worry, with Ling Ming, no one can hurt me!" β
Lu Bu looked at Pang De, nodded, and said, "Okay! β
In Yang'an City, Li Tong's mansion.
was called up in the night, or from the warm embrace of the concubine, Li Tong was a little unhappy! However, his family said that he was a messenger from Manpang, and he could not refuse. In addition, in the middle of the night, if there is no urgency, with a full and steady character, he will not send a messenger to him.
Li Tong is in his thirties, with a slightly dark complexion and a slight beard. His figure is not very tall, but his thin body makes him very long. 's slightly thin body always makes people doubt his martial arts, but those who have fought with him know that this person should not be underestimated! In Cao Cao's army, he was the most Confucian general.
Courageous, brave, loyal, this is Cao Cao's comment on him!
After understanding the messenger's intentions, Li Tong inquired in detail about the situation at that time, and finally came to the same conclusion as Man Pang.
Li Tong is in Yang'an, Man Pang is in Pingyu, although the two don't have much contact, they have a tacit understanding with each other, and they get along well.
He calculated in his heart that if he didn't go to the rescue, Pingyu would definitely break the city tomorrow, assuming that Man Pang was dead, and he would not be able to explain in front of Cao Gong if he didn't save him. If Man Pang hadn't died, he would have gone to Xu County to announce his situation to Cao, but I was afraid that he would not be able to say it. Besides, Pingyu and Yang'an guard horns, one city is broken, and the other is difficult to defend! At the same time, it's a low-hanging fruit! If I don't go, I'm really sorry for myself.
With public and private, this matter must be done!
There are a total of 8,000 troops in the city, leaving the deputy general and 2,000 troops, leading 6,000 people by themselves, traveling lightly, only bringing one person's dry food and water, as well as weapons and armor, and quickly raiding the Xuzhou army, which can arrive in two hours! Take advantage of the opportunity for the Xuzhou army to rest and recuperate, and settle the battle in half an hour, and when the time comes, ...... 20,000 horses!
After thinking about it, he said to the little school: "In half an hour, Ben will set off!" You've worked hard, go down and rest first! β
The little school thanked him again and again, and then under the leadership of the Li family, he went out of the study.
Just after the hour, Li Tong set off with an army of 6,000.
He didn't know that in the dark night, there were two pairs of eyes staring at Yang'an City all the time. When Li Tong went out of the city for an hour, twenty miles outside the city, in a mountain forest, six thousand Liangzhou elites, under the leadership of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, quietly drove out of the mountain forest.
This army set out from Wancheng the night before yesterday. Although Liu Biao took in Zhang Xiu, he couldn't fully believe him. On weekdays, Liu Biao's army occupied Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu could only be stationed outside the city. He was dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do, and he felt very unhappy under the fence! In fact, Zhang Xiu doesn't look down on Liu Biao, Liu Biao has no knowledge, but in this troubled era, learning does not mean that he will be able to survive.
A few days ago, Jia Xu proposed to him to defect to Liu Bei, and after thinking about it, he agreed. However, the current Liu Bei has too many good generals, and at first glance, he must not be able to be reused. So, after discussing with Jia Xu, he decided to give Liu Bei a gift.
The night before, they set out from Wancheng and raced all the way, until last night, when they came to this mountain forest. Jia Xu told Zhang Xiu about the plan that Tian Fan had discussed with him, and Zhang Xiu was stationed in the mountains and forests, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
Now, the opportunity has finally arrived!
Zhang Xiu is in his forties, with a white face, a slight beard, and a tall and stout figure. His arms are particularly thick and very powerful, and at a glance, you can see that his martial arts are not weak. He was wearing an iron armor, a white cloak, a fine Dawan good horse in his crotch, and a white spear in his hand, the head of which was three feet long, which looked very unique.
His face was calm, even before the Great War.
Turning his head to look at Jia Xu, who also had a calm face on the side, he smiled slightly and said, "Wenhe, your strategy really works!" β
Jia Xu smiled, but he didn't look smug. He said: "Hehe, if there is no good cooperation from Tian Boguang's side, any strategy will be in vain!" β
Zhang Xiu bowed slightly, and asked curiously: "Wenhe, Tian Boguang...... What kind of person is he? β
Jia Xu smiled and said, "The contact time is still short, and I can't fully understand it!" But...... He's an interesting guy! I think you'll feel the same way I do when you get in touch with him! β
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be even more curious about Tian Fan, Jia Xu has a very high vision, and ordinary people, he can't look down on it!
When Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu arrived in Yang'an City slowly, Li Tong was in trouble!
After an hour and a half of running wildly, Li Tong met Lu Bu and Lu Yi who were waiting for work at ease at a position less than thirty miles away from Pingyu!
There was no way, because of an unexpected situation, Tian Fan could only change his battle plan.
Man Pang is not a simple character after all! He was confused by the great work of 20,000 war horses, but it didn't take long for his brain to regain its clarity!
After the news came out, he came to a house in the south of the city, gathered a few lieutenant generals, and prepared to discuss how to take the Xuzhou army after Li Tong arrived.
After about half an hour of discussion, they thought of all possible accidents, and his face was full of lightness, and when he was about to break up the account, his face suddenly changed!
Yang'an is only a hundred miles away from Pingyu, and if the Xuzhou army wants to attack Pingyu, it is impossible not to know the army situation in the city near Pingyu. Now that he has sent the messenger, the Xuzhou army must know that Yang'an's reinforcements are coming! But isn't it strange that they were so calm that they didn't attack the city before reinforcements arrived?
Manpang's face changed suddenly, becoming miserable and white!
Xuzhou Army, what a poisonous calculation! The army I can see must be the entire strength of the Xuzhou army? In case they still have an army and have been resting, then Li Tong came to help, wouldn't it be their poisonous plan?
What a siege point to send reinforcements, a good trick and a vicious strategy! Man Pang couldn't help but be heartbroken, Li Tong has 8,000 people, since he came to the rescue, the people he led must be indispensable. However, the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army who have been resting and recuperating, as well as a large number of cavalry, as long as there is a charge, the troops under Li Tong who have just completed a hundred miles of wild running will be finished!
Then, the Xuzhou army returned to attack the city, and Pingyu City must not be able to support it when it loses control of the south gate! If nothing else, let's just say that Lu Bu's 800 back-to-back warriors are enough for them. Also, Man Pang blames himself very much! How did he forget that Gao Shun's trapped camp and Liyi's first camp are rare strong and brave people in the world, as well as Tian Fan's personal guards, it is said that their combat power is no less than that of Xiandeng and Trap! With these small elites as the main force for the siege, not to mention that there are only 6,000 people in Pingyu, even if there are 6,000 more, what can it do?
After occupying Pingyu, the Xuzhou army returned to attack Yang'an, and there was no need to even attack the city, as long as they wore Cao Jun's clothes, they could open the city gate at night!
Thinking about this, he is already colorless!
In the middle of the night, under the curious eyes of the lieutenant generals, Man Pang hissed: "Gather the army immediately, even if you fight all the troops, you will also recapture the southern city!" Just go! β
The lieutenants obeyed the order with a face and rushed out of the house to prepare for battle.
When the two thousand Cao troops attacked the urn city, Tian Fan keenly judged that the plan had failed! He hurriedly said: "Ling Ming, you immediately bring someone to top me up!" Remember, this is a dead order! Before Zhengqing comes, you must resist! β
Pang De looked at the tired looks on the faces of the surrounding soldiers, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists: "Don't worry, even if I am the only one left, Cao Jun will not want to recapture the city gate!" β
Tian Fan nodded, and said to a pro-soldier: "Notify Gao Shun immediately, let him lead the lead to the camp, trap the camp and my personal guards to rush over!" The siege plan has been launched in advance, so go! "PS: Thank you for the old turtle in the book friend river dam for the reward, thank you very much. Also, I ...... Burn the bag! Yesterday I bought a mountain bike, an excited, a ride of more than 30 kilometers, when I rushed back to the company in the afternoon, back pain, leg cramps, buttocks can not be on the bench, so the code word efficiency is not high, I feel that the writing is not good, this chapter was written last night to a little more or not finished, so late, sorry. What, ask for some recommendation votes, comfort my wounded ass......
