Chapter 258: Imprisoned
The two quickly reached an agreement, the next morning, Lin Sen out of the camp and rushed to the enemy camp, Wang Qiang was also in place, after a little rest, he launched an attack, Lin Sen was responsible for flank containment, Gao Ran and Zhang Jaw sent 500,000 people to resist Lin Sen, but Lin Sen did not attack, but kept sitting on the war horse, did not attack or retreat, just watched.
The battle on Wang Qiang's side is very fierce, and now the number of both sides is almost equal, but Wang Qiang does not have such brave generals as Gao Ran and Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and Zhang Jaw are very angry when they look at the enemy who has been defeated by their own men in front of them, if it were not for Lin Sen's flank containment, forcing them not only to transfer troops to resist, but also dare not go out of the camp to attack the enemy, otherwise they would have led the army to kill the generals, and the enemy in front of them was not left with a piece of armor, but now they can only rely on the camp for defense, which is really aggrieved.
Wang Qiang also knew that it would be impossible to capture the camp and defeat Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran in one day, so he collected his troops and returned to the camp early in the afternoon, throwing down 50,000 corpses, which belonged to the normal wear and tear of the battle, and Lin Sen naturally returned to his camp.
But after going back, Lin Sen received a very, very bad news, Yuan Shao led the army from the front line of Le'an State, and captured the traffic artery Changguo, Changguo is his transportation artery between Qi and Jinan, Yuan Shao now occupies Changguo can directly cut off his road back to the north, and the supply in the rear cannot be transferred over, if Yuan Shao completely controls Changguo, it can be said that it has cut off the lifeblood of Lin Sen's return to the army, which is really a fatal blow.
Lin Sen quickly found Guo Jia and discussed with him what to do now.
"Lord, my subordinates have been feeling that something is wrong with the smell these days."
Lin Sen frowned and asked, "How?" ”
"Previously, Wang Qiang urged us to send troops to help us several times. It means that the soldiers and horses of the Qi State must have suffered serious losses along the way, but in the past few days, it has been found that there has not been much loss of troops based on various intelligence. It's not the norm. ”
"That's what you said, keep talking." Lin Sen said.
"Le Anguo side. Yuan Benchu has an advantage, although Le Anguo is the basis of Wang Qiang, but Yuan Benchu has several strategists under his command, and I heard that there is a member who is not less than Zilong and Dian Wei is a good general, and his subordinates have inquired, saying that it is called Tai Shici, the word Ziyi, and the three million army is pressing, Wang Qiang dared to send hundreds of thousands of main forces to Qi at a critical moment. It shows that there is no big war on that side, and it may be acting. ”
Lin Sen exclaimed: "Ah......"
"At the same time, Yuan Benchu also had a tacit understanding not to sit on the front line of Le'an Kingdom, but led his troops to Qi State quietly, and occupied Changguo silently, and his subordinates guessed that they might be acting and acting for us."
Lin Sen was shocked, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Guo Jia said was very correct, and what happened before and after was completely like this. At this moment, Dian Wei walked in from outside the tent.
"My lord, just now the patrol sentry found a letter shot out of the camp." As he spoke, he handed over a letter.
After Lin Sen opened it and looked at it, he immediately said, "Dian Wei." The order is to go down, the whole army is assembled, and we withdraw our troops. Just go. ”
Guo Jia and Dian Wei were puzzled and asked, "Why is the lord so urgent?" ”
Lin Sen handed the letter to Guo Jia. "There are just a few words in the letter, saying that we are in danger." Just now Feng Xiao judged that we had been tricked, and now there is this letter to prove that Feng Xiao's judgment is correct, we need to evacuate Qi State as soon as possible and return to Jinan State to make plans. ”
Who sent this letter, Lin Sen didn't know, Guo Jia didn't know, maybe even Wang Qiang and Yuan Shao didn't know who it was, only the sender and the person who wrote the letter knew.
No matter what, Lin Sen really felt that he had fallen for the trick and believed Wang Qiang. The army was quickly assembled, the heavy grain and grass had been packed up, the logistics personnel got into the carriage, opened the north gate, and Lin Sen led the army to quietly rush in the direction of Jinan.
As Guo Jia guessed, Lin Sen did fall for the scheme, Wang Qiang's purpose in contacting him was to eat him, and then take advantage of the situation to annex Jizhou, he secretly took refuge in Yuan Shao, and acted in this big drama with Yuan Shao, luring Lin Sen to Qi State, but he didn't expect Lin Sen to only bring 400,000 cavalry, and the infantry did not follow.
He and Yuan Shao made an appointment to launch a surprise attack on Lin Sen's camp this night, Yuan Shao gave an order to Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan, and Yuan Shao himself led the army to march to Jinan at night, and marched at the same time on both sides to eat all the main forces of Lin Sen.
At night, Yuan Shao led the army to Jinan, and Wang Qiang, Gao Ran, and Zhang Jaw attacked in the middle of the night, this time was the time when people were sleeping deeply, which was conducive to attacking, but they also thought that Lin Sen would guess in advance and evacuate first, and Wang Qiang arranged for the sentinel near Lin Sen's camp to quickly convey the news back.
After Wang Qiang heard this, he was so anxious that he shouted: "Hurry, quickly send the order, the army will gather immediately, and there will be a person sent to Yuan Ying, and notify Gao Ran and Zhang Jaw to immediately send troops to hunt down and kill Lin Sen." ”
At this time, there was a difference of two hours before the middle of the night, and Wang Qiang, who was complacent, thought that Lin Sen was still stupidly kept in the dark, and the sneak attack at night would be victorious, and the army was still very lazy and resting, so how could he quickly assemble in a hurry.
Half an hour later, his army of more than one million people was all assembled, in fact, the main force of the God Alliance was still very strong, and the gathering speed was very fast, but Wang Qiang felt sorry for this part of the elite and refused to send it out to intercept Lin Sen, afraid that these people would never return, so he had to wait for the army to be fully assembled, relying on the advantage of numbers to entangle Lin Sen.
But in this way, how can there be a chance, Lin Sen was originally one step ahead, Wang Qiang led the army to intercept it, and found that Lin Sen had already passed, there was no way, he could only wait for Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran to come up, and then pursue Lin Sen together, such a good opportunity was missed in vain.
For his own king's cause, Yuan Shao is also doing his best, he was an outstanding son of a big family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, with a noble status, and now in order to occupy Qingzhou and seize the rich land of Jizhou, he worked tirelessly and led the army to travel at night, although it was a spacious and comfortable carriage, but it was also an extremely difficult thing for him.
After only two hours of marching, Yuan Shao was sitting in the carriage and fell asleep, when suddenly his own soldiers came to report: "Lord, lord." ”
"What's so alarming?"
"Tell the lord, a cavalry has appeared in the rear of our army, it is dark and it is not clear, the number is unknown, and it is rushing to our rear to kill."
Yuan Shao's army at this time just crossed the remaining veins of Mount Tai, just on the plain, Yuan Shao has an army of 400,000, mostly foot soldiers, quite strong, led by the new general Tai Shici, in a hurry, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered to form a formation to meet the enemy.
Although the sky was dark, but Yuan Shao for the convenience of the march, the soldiers everywhere held torches high to illuminate the road, Lin Sen led the cavalry to run at high speed, just out of the mountainous and hilly area, he found that the plain in front of him was brightly lit, as if there was a large group of soldiers and horses marching, immediately alert.
"Lord, my subordinates guess that the soldiers and horses in front of me are Yuan Benchu in Changguo City, and the lord should deal with it carefully." Guo Jia did not participate in the war, he only gave advice in the rear.
Lin Sen thought about it and agreed with Guo Jia's point of view, according to intelligence, Wang Qiang has joined forces with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao can directly cut off his back road by occupying Changguo, but he has not encountered the slightest danger along the way, no one has stopped him head-on, and no one has set up an ambush in the mountains and hills.
When he came, Lin Sen took this road, he knew that there was a river dozens of miles ahead, and a solid stone bridge on the river communicated the two banks, if Yuan Shao's army was allowed to cross the river and defend it with the river bridge, then it would be very difficult for him to return to Licheng, and he would definitely have to make a big detour, and the gains outweighed the losses, so he had to start a battle as soon as possible, drag Yuan Shao, defeat Yuan Shao, and go over first, if the bridge can be demolished, it is also very necessary.
Zhao Yun was found and arranged: "Zilong, this battle is related to our life and death, we must be ruthless in attacking if we explain it, never leave our hands, and give Yuan Shao a fatal blow, we have a chance to turn around, understand?" ”
Zhao Yun nodded heavily: "The last general will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord." ”
The plains are sharp cavalry, but now it is late at night, Yuan Shao suddenly extinguished the torches, and everywhere is pitch black, and he can only distinguish friend from foe by the faint moonlight.
These 400,000 people are the most elite part of Yuan Shao, and the Euphorbia and the Xiandeng Dead are among them, and the number has also increased, especially the Xiandeng Dead, which has expanded to 50,000 in the past two years, is a strong and powerful army, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, and they can fight without light.
For the sake of safety, since Yuan Shao extinguished the torch, then Lin Sen had to raise the fire to light up, he knew the name of the first dead soldier, and he specialized in restraining the cavalry, if he let the first dead soldier seize the opportunity, then his own loss would be too great.
"Zhao Fu, launch rockets all over the battlefield."
This is Zhao Fu's martial arts skills, with his own rocket skills, in the past few years, Lin Sen has always taken him with him, and now it is just in handy, 30,000 rockets are shot everywhere at a high speed, and now the autumn is high and dry, and the hay burns when it meets the fire, instantly illuminating the night sky, and the situation of the two armies is completely clear.
Lin Sen looked at the battle formation discharged by Yuan Shao, and was happy for his move, fortunately he brought Zhao Fulai, otherwise he would definitely suffer a loss this time, only to see tens of thousands of soldiers standing at the front of Yuan Shao's army with a shield in his left hand and a crossbow in his right hand.
"If you want to yin me, there is no door." Lin Sen sneered and shouted, "Zilong, Xiliang Iron is in front, the heavy cavalry is behind, and the light cavalry should not fight for the time being." ”
Then he turned to Zhao Fu and said, "The archers and Bai Ma Yi are under your command for the time being, and the target is the tens of thousands of crossbow-wielding enemy troops to cover the heavy armored cavalry charging into battle." ”
Presumably, the defense of the heavy armored cavalry resists the crossbow arrows of the first dead soldier, and the problem is still not big, not to mention the cover of the archers and the white horse Yicong, as long as the restraint of the first dead soldier is defeated, Yuan Shao's other armies are not afraid at all, and the halberd warrior can't even fight Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, let alone his Xiliang iron cavalry.
A big battle is coming, the two armies sharpen their knives, breathe faster, and kill ......
