Chapter 376: Surprise attack on Anguo County
After Lu Zhi accepted the edict, he reorganized the five battalions of the Northern Army in the capital, inspected the purchase of armor and equipment, and looted horses and carriages, preparing to lead the army into suppression. At the same time, he also sent a letter to the local government, asking the local government to guard the city and recover the lost territory appropriately if there is spare strength, but it did not encourage everyone to take the initiative to attack, and it was important to hold on and wait for help.
At the same time, he once again issued orders to Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, and ordered each state to step up the mobilization of 30,000 to 50,000 border troops to Jizhou to listen to the order.
Dong Zhuo, who has been yearning for the Central Plains, is naturally the most active, and directly gathered 50,000 steps to rush to the Central Plains, although his son-in-law Li Ru suggested that he go slowly, but Dong Zhuo believes that the Yellow Turban thieves are actually a vulnerable rabble, so if you go slowly, you will have to go in vain.
As for Ding Yuan of Bingzhou, he naturally respected the edict of the Son of Heaven, and obediently gave Lu Bu an order, asking Lu Bu to send at least 30,000 cavalry south to Jizhou, in fact, Lu Bu's side is not very calm now, due to the gathering of players in the northern part of Bingzhou, so when the Yellow Turban was chaotic, there were also many guys who fished in troubled waters, and during this time, Lu Bu was fighting fires everywhere.
Of course, in fact, there is also the intention of harvesting these Inhuman territories, otherwise this kind of small-scale rebellion of Inhuman forces can directly issue an order for Inhumans to step on it, and there is no need to work Lu Bu's old man's big car at all.
However, Ding Yuan gave an order, and Lu Bu did not dare to disrespect, but it could be delayed, under the pretext that the troops had been dispersed to subordinate jurisdictions to suppress the rebellion, Lu Bu could delay it, and it was best to delay it until the end of the war in Jizhou.
Although Lu Bu is a soldier, he is not a stupid person, and the water in Jizhou is deep! Not to mention from Merge to Jizhou. It's going to cross the Taihang Mountain, and now the Yellow Turban thieves are building in the Taihang Mountain, and they rely on the cavalry to grab the pass, what a loss they have to pay! And there is no gain at all, this kind of loss-making business cannot be done!
As for Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan's main force was in Liaodong, and Yuyang only had troops stationed in Yuyang, and he wanted to draw troops south to Jizhou. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up for a while, but Gongsun Chan is unwilling to sit in Liaodong and watch others carve up the big fat meat of Jizhou. Therefore, Gongsun Chan is actively organizing and training troops, and the 80,000 troops he received from the Wuhuan people not long ago can just come in handy, but it will take some time to reach Jizhou.
And Liu Yu is slowly cleaning up the yellow turban thieves in the four counties in the western part of Youzhou, speaking of which. The south of these four counties seems to be a little messy, but they are not very serious, but it also gives Liu Yu enough excuses to delay the time to send troops, although Liu Yu also wants to participate in the operation of slaughtering Jizhou, but he also knows that there is a big war of hundreds of thousands of people here in Jizhou, and it is better not to mix it without a certain net worth.
In this way, only Fang Zhiwen is the most suitable to send troops on the Youzhou side, because Fang Zhiwen has just fought a big battle in Qingzhou and kept Beihai County alive. In fact, it is already officially participating in the war to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves, speaking of which Youzhou is still the first to join the battlefield, so Liu Yu is very high-profile to the imperial court that he has sent Fang Zhiwen as the representative of the Youzhou border army, and is still continuing to organize the army, ready to go south to Jizhou at any time, this tune is really high, Fang Zhiwen is too lazy to refute him, after all, it is the royal family. Since he wants to fight for this bit of face, give it to him, and throw it to him if there is any black pot at that time.
So when Fang Zhiwen secretly assembled troops in Qinghekou Port, everyone thought that Fang Zhiwen was about to intervene in the Jizhou War. They all speculated about the direction of Fang Zhiwen's shot, and some people thought that it was an attack on Anping County. Striving to occupy a part of Anping County, like Han Fu, who was gathering troops in the direction of Anping, wanted to occupy a place in the center of Jizhou.
Some people also speculate that Fang Zhiwen's goal is Zhongshan, after all, it is the Zhen family's hometown, and taking Zhongshan not only opens the way to attack the hinterland of the Yellow Turban Army, but also earns face for the Zhen family, and the benefits are also very large, the southern part of Zhongshan is very rich, and Zhongshan County has a developed water system, so it is just possible to get the support of Qinghekou Port through the waterway, and Zhongshan County is backed by Zhuo County, and it can also be supported by Liu Yu.
Even more outrageous people think that Fang Zhiwen's target is actually Hejian County, and he wants to take advantage of the opportunity for the army in eastern Jizhou to gather in Anping to take Hejian in one fell swoop and slaughter Jizhou.
It's just that when everyone was speculating, Fang Zhiwen's 20,000 troops had already adopted the method of sneaking into separate areas and arrived near Anguo, faintly forming an encirclement of Anguo.
Fang Zhiwen was the last to arrive, because of security issues, Fang Zhiwen was repeatedly asked by Zhao Yun to not arrive in advance, after all, this battle was commanded by Zhao Yun, so Fang Zhiwen could not cross the line to replace the bud, this time Fang Zhiwen was regarded as a general, responsible for the direction of the north side of Anguo.
Zhao Yun had Tian Feng's assistance and was responsible for the main attack in the west, Taishi Zhaorong was in charge of the east, and Zhen Xiang led the army alone for the first time and was in charge of the south, these four Zhao Yun had a maximum of 5,000 heavy crossbow dragoons and 6,000 turquoise cavalry, while the other three had 1,000 heavy crossbow dragoons and 2,000 turquoise cavalry each.
Tian Feng couldn't imagine that Fang Zhiwen's troops were so elite, hundreds of miles of long-distance running, divided into sneaks, and after the convergence, only dozens of people were left behind, which was definitely a miraculous march, which also made Tian Feng's original head-on battle or strong attack turn into a surprise battle.
"Strategist, wait for dawn to attack or sneak attack at night?" Zhao Yun asked while eating dry food, this long-distance attack was really hard, but Tian Feng followed all the way, and he didn't complain about being tired, which made Zhao Yun's perception of Tian Feng further better, and Tian Feng spoke straightforwardly, which was very in line with the appetite of Zhao Yun and other generals.
"Wait until I think about it." Tian Feng drank the cold water in the water bladder and thought quickly.
Zhao Yun did not urge, and ordered the generals around him to order everyone to hurry up and rest, and feed the horses, ready to fight at any time.
Tian Feng had two concerns, one was that after a long-distance attack, if the battle was carried out continuously, what would be the combat strength of the troops? The second is that the information in the city has not been obtained now, and I don't know if the situation in the city has changed.
When approaching An Guo just now, Tian Feng had already asked the detectives in the city to report the situation, but he had not received a reply yet.
"Master Strategist, General, the enemy troops found in front should be the troops escorting the people, and the escort troops are mainly aliens, there are about five or six thousand infantry, hundreds of cavalry, and there are twenty or thirty thousand people."
"Okay, let's explore 1 Tian Feng gently sent the scout away, and then frowned slightly, why did An Guo transport the people overnight? Could it be that some other Inhumans have started robbing their convoys? If that's the case
"Zilong, this is an opportunity, you let three thousand cavalry, pretend to be alien troops, rob these people, and then set up an ambush halfway, ambush the troops who come to help, if the number is small, eat it, if the number is large, defeat them, force them back to the city, and then you follow the city, if it doesn't work, retreat, if it does, let the lord and others attack on three sides to cooperate, and strive to go down to Anguo County with one drum."
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, this method is good! And it's night, and the idea of chasing the rout into the city is absolutely feasible.
"Good! Zilong obeyed the order1
"Wait, if the storming of the city goes well, don't rush to the city, but occupy the gates of the city, and then develop along the city wall to both sides, and receive the lord into the city, and it is not good for the cavalry to fight street battles in the city at night."
"Zilong saved 1
"Okay, let's get started."
The queue to escort the people was very long, and lanterns and torches had to be lit along the way, and in the dark night, this movement was actually very obvious, the only thing that was difficult to say was that it was difficult to tell whether it was a group of refugees or a group of soldiers.
"Whose idea is this sister, how difficult it is to transport people at night! And with torches and lanterns, isn't that an obvious way to tell people that there is a flock of fat sheep here.1
"Hehe, you don't understand this, first of all, the players on the official side of the army generally don't go out on a large scale at night, the reason is known to everyone, because the line of sight is not good at night, the troops are not easy to command, and secondly, there are too many wild monsters at night, and the marching speed is not guaranteed."
"Aren't we all having these problems?"
"So you can never be a leader! In front of us, there was an infantry unit of the Yellow Turban Army to clear the way, so our problem was solved, stupid 1
"I'm grass, I'm not stupid, it's good or not that the information is backward, who knows if our president can still ask the aborigines to escort it1
"This is a matter for the aborigines, and we are helping them when we do the task, and it is normal for them to provide some assistance."
"Cut! Hey? What a sound, thundered 1
"My day! Cavalry!! 1
"It's miserable, let's run1
"Run 1
Zhao Yun's 3,000 cavalry covered their faces and divided into two teams, one of which easily wiped out the thousands of escorted troops, but unexpectedly, a few miles in front of this group of people, there was also a Yellow Turban Army of 2,000 people, Zhao Yun had to work harder, and he was wiped out after catching up.
As for the person who sent back to report the news, Zhao Yun was not worried at all, because when the battle began, there were a lot of strangers who threw away their troops and ran away, otherwise the battle would not have been so easy, but the enemy army did not kill a few, but there was an extra group of prisoners, plus the people, there were more than 30,000 heads.
Zhao Yun left Tian Feng with a thousand men, drove these people into the woods far from the main road, let them rest on the spot, and concentrate on supervision, while Zhao Yun quickly rushed towards Anguo with 10,000 cavalry.
Tian Feng carefully arranged for the soldiers to start checking these people one by one with lanterns, to prevent the existence of strangers or people with ulterior motives, of course, the main thing is to deterrence, as long as Zhao Yun can take Anguo County, it doesn't matter if it is full of spies, as long as they can work, Anguo County is in a hurry to upgrade, but there is a shortage of population!! ~!
