Chapter 501: Into the Trap
"Good!" After listening to Zhang Ning and Zhang Jian's reports, Wei Feng shouted hello, and then turned his attention to the topographic map spread out on several cases, and the surrounding generals also gathered around.
This is a topographic map of mountains and rivers centered on thistle, west to Xiaoyan Mountain, south to Zhongshan, east to Lu County, north to Hunu and Anle counties (now Beijing City and Shunyi District, Beijing), and everyone's eyes are focused on the territory of Lu County.
After looking at it for a while, Wei Feng suddenly opened his voice and said: "Zhang Ning and Zhang Jian did a good job, they didn't take too much risk to explore the terrain of the valley, this special merit will be sent down first, and it will be returned to you when the Dragon City or Marudu Mountain City is broken, since it has been found that the Wei people have ambushes, it is no longer a problem to draw them out this time, the key is, where to ambush, there must be a resolution for a limited time, you all come and talk about it." ”
Xiang Mi stretched out his hand and pointed to the map: "General, this is Lucheng, as soon as the morning dawns, 90,000 reinforcements from Yan State will set off from Lucheng, so the ambush site cannot be too close to Lucheng." ”
Xian Enzhuo also took over and said: "Wei ambush out of the valley, it should not take the southern line, the southern line will pass through thistle, so it will first gallop to the north, and then turn to the east and go straight to Lucheng, general, you see, there is an unknown small river, about fifty miles northwest from Lu, just between Lu and thistle, roughly north-south, the river is not wide, about ten zhang, the cavalry wading can pass, according to the Wei people in a hurry, this is the most convenient route, will pass through here.
You see, there is a forest on the south side of the west bank of the river, where a part of the army can be hidden, if it is an ordinary time, the Wei people can find an ambush with a little search, but the last general thinks. The Wei people were too busy to pay attention to it.
The other part of the army can be hidden in the back of a hill on the other side of the river, ten miles away from the river, once the patrol post comes to the news that the Wei people crossed the river, immediately meet it, and then cooperate with the ambush in the forest, front and back flank, when it can be annihilated in a battle! ”
Wei Feng swept left and right and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”
Xu Dao arched his hand: "General Xian's words are very true, and the last general seconded it." ”
"The last general seconded it!" There were echoing sounds one after another around, and Wei Feng glanced at the hourglass. He nodded violently: "Xian Enzhuo." Jiang Xuan, you two led 10,000 crossbow cavalry and 10,000 cavalry, and ambushed in the woods on the west side of the river! ”
"The last general commands!" Xian Enzhuo and Jiang Xuan both responded with gifts!
Wei Feng said again: "Xiang Mi, you lead 30,000 troops out of the camp to set up the formation. Make a gesture to block the thistle defenders from going out of the city to rescue. Ben and his cousin Fu led 30,000 horsemen to the rear of the hill on the east side of the river. At this time, it is two o'clock in the morning (two o'clock in the morning), and all the combatants must rush to the predetermined place before dawn, otherwise military law will be involved! ”
"Yes!" Xu Daofu and Xiang Mi also gave a salute to receive the order. It's just that Xiang Mi's face was somewhat disappointed, obviously caused by not being able to fight the Wei people head-on, Wei Feng looked at him, and waved his hand: "This time, our army is facing the most elite forbidden army in the Wei State, and we can't be negligent at all, so don't be contemptuous, let's go, go and prepare, and set off within half an hour!" ”
In less than half an hour, 50,000 horsemen and horses galloped out of the camp like a whirlwind, and disappeared into the darkness of the east, and another 30,000 troops pushed thousands of vehicles to quickly set up a formation on the east side of the thistle.
The huge movement woke up Feng Sufu and Feng Hong, and the two brothers immediately rushed to the top of the city and looked down, but saw that the Jin army position below was brightly lit, illuminating the entire military formation.
Feng Hong said with a calm face: "Second brother, the cavalry of the Jin army must be going to assault the alliance between the King of Heaven and Goguryeo, he set up a chariot formation under the city, which means to prevent our army from going out of the city to rescue, but the east gate is not passable, can't we go around from the north gate?" He was all foot soldiers, and it would be difficult to pursue. ”
Feng Sufu groaned slightly, then shook his head: "No, you look carefully, the Jin army's chariot formation is guarding the middle and hiding the attack, as long as my main force leaves, he may take the opportunity to attack the city, and it doesn't hurt to let him attack, but the Jin army's trebuchets are powerful, and the number of people left is too small to go out of the city to counterattack, and I am afraid that it will not last long, and if the manpower to rescue the Heavenly King is insufficient, I am afraid it will not play a big role."
The king of heaven is proficient in the art of war, although Gao Tande has been defeated repeatedly, but he is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and will inevitably prevent the sneak attack of General Wei, we only need to report to the king of heaven, come, you and I cheer up and wait, maybe tomorrow dawn will be with General Wei to separate the victory and defeat. ”
"Hey~~" Feng Hong nodded, sighed again and said: "It's a pity, that Tuoba Jue has a perverse temperament and is stubborn, if he is willing to send troops to help, with the cooperation of the three parties, General Wei will be at least eighty percent sure." ”
Feng Sufu also sighed and looked due east with a little worry.
Another hour passed, and the time had reached three o'clock in the morning, (half past four in the morning), and the sky had already revealed a hazy light, and Tuobayu's body jerked, and in an instant a viscous liquid sprayed into the crotch of his pants, which also woke him up.
But Tuoba did not open his eyes, and his face was full of unfinished color, as if he was savoring the lingering taste of the dream.
"Damn, it's all the harm of the surnamed Wei, when you are broken, I want to ask His Majesty for orders to attack Jiangling, and take all your women to taste it! That's the Jiangnan scholar, and the Fu sisters! Tuoba opened his eyes suddenly, and made a wish full of resentment, although the horse running is comfortable, but the hard pants are uncomfortable to wear!
"Has King Wei ever woken up?" Mu Chong's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Please get up quickly, the news has come from Xizuo, the cavalry of the Jin army galloped eastward an hour ago, there are about forty or fifty thousand horsemen, and another thirty thousand troops have set up positions east of Ji!" ”
"Oh? Please wait, Captain! With a sudden, Tuoba suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed out of the tent in a few steps.
Mu Chong arched his hand: "King Wei, the Jin army is attacking at this time, it must be with the intention of taking advantage of the Yan State reinforcements to allocate the camp, please give an order quickly!" ”
"Okay, surnamed Wei, I've been waiting for you for too long!" Tuoba usurped and said with a cruel smile: "Order, the whole army will eat immediately, and leave the valley in half an hour!" ”
Half an hour later, the Wei soldiers took their horses and marched eastward along the mountain road, and as Zhang Ning expected, it took an hour to get out of the mountain, and then the whole army galloped northeastward, about fifty miles, and turned to run due east.
The Wei army, together with the servant army with heavy cavalry, totaled 35,000 people, all of whom had two horses, and galloped all the way without stopping, and only one hour had rushed to the west bank of the unknown river, and at this time, although the Yan reinforcements got the news from the thistle, they couldn't help but go, if Wei Feng sent people to intercept it every day, wouldn't it be trapped in Lu County?
Therefore, the marching speed of the coalition army was very slow, roughly only about ten miles west of Luxian, Feng Ba and Gao Tande were careful and careful, especially if the terrain was slightly undulating, they had to send people to explore the road first, as long as they could reach Jiji before evening.
On the contrary, the 35,000 cavalry of the Wei army were afraid that they would not be able to catch up, and galloped into the river, which was not deep, and could probably flood the area of the horse's belly, which more or less slowed down the horse.
In the sound of the rushing water, there was a faint roar, this is the sound of the cavalry galloping, as the most elite forbidden army of the Wei State, it is too familiar with this sound, but his side has slowed down, there should be no more roaring, where does this sound come from?
"Not good!" Suddenly, Tuoba and his trembling voice shouted, and a black line was rolling rapidly in front of him!
Mu Chong's face also changed drastically in an instant, and shouted: "It's not good, I'm ambushed, King Wei, you can't retreat at this moment, you will be defeated if you retreat, please King Wei take the lead with the old man and step forward to fight!" ”
"No, no, no!" Tuoba shook his head like a rattle: "Tai Lieutenant, the Jin army is fierce, our army has lost the first hand, and we can't meet it, so we should return to the bank of the army, and it is the best strategy to set up a good position and fight with the enemy!" As he spoke, he mustered up all his strength and shouted, "Order, retreat to the riverbank!" ”
The herald hesitated a little and looked at Mu Chong, after all, Mu Chong had followed Tuoba Jue for half his life, experienced in a hundred battles, and enjoyed high prestige in the army, and although Tuoba Yu was the eldest son of Tuoba Yi and the chief general in the army, he had not won a victory in his life, and at this critical moment, his heart was naturally inclined to Mu Chong more.
Seeing that the herald was stunned, Tuoba suddenly shouted angrily: "You are so bold, why don't you pass it on?" ”
The herald gritted his teeth, and was about to blow the horn, when Mu Chong also shouted: "Wait! Then he took out a silk scroll from his arms, held it with one hand, and said sharply: "In accordance with the secret edict issued by His Majesty, the forbidden army is temporarily controlled by the old man, and someone comes, invites King Wei down, puts him in the array, and is injured in a hurry!" ”
Mu Chong can no longer tolerate Tuoba usurping nonsense, he knows that he can't retreat at this time, if he retreats slightly, the Jin army will explode, and it is not impossible for him to reproduce Fu Jian's defeat, not to mention that his own side is already uneasy due to the ambush, and if he retreats again, even if it is the forbidden army, the momentum will be affected to some extent, and the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and in adversity, a step back is an abyss!
Although seizing military power in battle will offend Tuoba Yu, Mu Chong is not afraid of him, Tuoba Yu is favored by Tuoba Jue again, but he is Tuoba Yi's eldest son, and there is no chance of inheriting the unification, what is a vassal king afraid of? What's more important is that the forbidden army is the family foundation of the Great Wei Dynasty, and Mu Chong would rather die by himself than let this family background be defeated in his own hands!
Mu Chong took out the secret edict, which relieved the surrounding soldiers, they are all battle-hardened, and they are the brightest people in the Tuoba clan, how can they not understand the consequences of retreating, the herald hurriedly blew the horn, and the sound of this horn is no longer retreating, but attacking.
There was a trace of resentment in Tuobayu's eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything, just kidding, Mu Chong had a secret edict in his hand, even if he beheaded him, Tuoba Jue couldn't blame, he could only be taken into the depths of the military formation by a few relatives who strangled the horse's head.
The Wei people slapped their horses forward, and as soon as they got ashore, they urged their horses to gallop towards the Jin army, and at this moment, there was a shout of killing from the side and rear, and in the woods not far away, a cavalry rushed out again! (To be continued......)
