Chapter 230: The Chess Piece Takes the Bait
The unexpected news of Mu Wei's dispatch of troops increased Qin Huaidao's determination to steal the camp.
It's like playing Go, Liaodong City's tone is not unraveled, and if it comes back to life, Goguryeo and Murwei can form a killing robbery, trapping Li Dejian and them to death, only when Liaodong City's tone is alive, the north and the south echo, there are no worries, and they can all come back to life if they concentrate on the outside world.
What's more important is that the food in the city can't last a few days, this news is currently only in the hands of An Guogong and Qin Huaidao, don't dare to reveal it, don't break the siege, don't kill the enemy army outside the city, after a long time, the army will inevitably be disheartened, especially the 10,000 mercenaries, once there is no food, it will definitely be chaotic, it's time to make changes.
The screen was reversed again, and everyone looked at Qin Huaidao and pricked up their ears.
Qin Huaidao didn't talk nonsense, looked at Zhizhi Sili and said, "An Guogong, I need you to take a thousand people to stay behind to ensure that the rear is not lost, okay?" ”
"Rest assured, the mission is guaranteed." An Guogong solemnly agreed, although the merit of going out of the city to fight is greater, but after taking over the logistics during this time, I figured it out, I am old, so it is better to make friends with these future magnates of the Tang Dynasty in front of me, leave a good fate, and worry about the rest of my life, which is much better than going into battle to kill the enemy.
After determining the problem of staying behind, Qin Huaidao was determined in his heart, and after drawing a few offensive routes on the drawings, he said: "This general is determined to go out of the city tonight and attack the enemy's camp at night, with only one purpose, to create panic and form a bombing camp, if it can be successful, the battle will be won or lost, if not, it can also kill and injure the enemy on a large scale, and then return to the city, what do you think?" ”
When it is ugly, it is between 1 and 3 o'clock in the morning, when people are the most sleepy, relaxed, and careless.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they were a little moved.
Killing 60,000 or 70,000 people in World War I is difficult to do even if it is a night attack, but the bombing camp is different, and the key question is whether it can form a bombing camp? Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao curiously, and Wei Chi Baolin said everyone's thoughts: "General, the brothers are full of guts, there is nothing to dare to do, the main thing is how to create panic and form a bombing camp?" ”
"General Ben has a strategy to try, even if it fails, it won't hurt." Qin Huaidao said confidently.
At this moment, everyone suddenly thought of the avalanche in Liujiabao and the bombing camp caused by the burning of grain in a small fishing village, and they had no doubt about Qin Huaidao's ability, and their interest increased greatly.
Qin Huaidao was not hypocritical, and said bluntly: "The biggest obstacle to bombing the camp is the bright light, you can see clearly, it is impossible to bomb the camp, so you must destroy the enemy's lighting torches as soon as possible, but in this way, it will be difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us, in view of this, all the attacking troops are tied with white cloth around their necks, and the white cloth is conspicuous at night and easy to identify." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up and they smiled.
"This method is very good, as long as you can distinguish between friend and foe, the brothers rush in and just kill, the enemy does not understand whether the people around him are friends or foes, they will inevitably panic, cut and kill each other, and form a bombing camp." Yu Chi Baolin exclaimed.
"Since you have no opinion, let's talk about the tactical arrangement." Qin Huaidao glanced at everyone, and said: "Two thousand forbidden troops are attacking the big camp in the west, there is a big tent of the enemy army here, I'm afraid that the king of Goguryeo is inside, with a strength of about 30,000, can you dare to fight?" ”
"Why don't you dare, the general can rest assured." Yu Chi Baolin patted his chest and said, his eyes lit up at the thought of the possibility of catching the King of Goguryeo, and he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately.
Everyone is a little envious, but it is limited to envy, after all, the 30,000 defenders can stay by the side of the king of Goguryeo, and the combat effectiveness of the defenders should not be underestimated, this is a fight for life.
Qin Huaidao pointed to the drawings and said: "Attack from this direction, there are no archers here, what you have to do is not to kill as many people as possible, but to destroy the torches as quickly as possible, and go straight to the enemy's big tent, that is, here, the impact must be fast, and do not give the enemy time to react." He pointed to a location.
Wei Chi Baolin hurriedly wrote down the route and location, nodded solemnly, but still said that he was worried in his heart: "General, if you go straight to the enemy's Chinese army's tent, there is a possibility of being surrounded, and maybe you will be drowned before you can kill it." ”
"So your combat core has only one word, quick!" Qin Huaidao reminded in a cold voice, and immediately his eyes fell on Chu Liang and Chu Bi, and added: "The two of you will each lead a thousand people, and you will rush forward with the finished glyph of Yu Chi Baolin, destroy the torches and make chaos at the same time, block the enemies on both sides who may sweep up, and cover Wei Chi Baolin." ”
"Obey!" The brothers replied apologetically.
Qin Huaidao reminded uneasily: "Yu Chi Baolin, with the two brothers of the Cheng family covering the two wings behind, your pressure will be much less, as long as you rush hard enough, fast enough, you will be scared to flee the king of Goguryeo, as long as the king of Goguryeo leaves, the command of the army will be chaotic, and our army will have an eighty percent chance of winning." ”
"Understood, is the king of Goguryeo going to die or live?" Yu Chi Baolin asked excitedly.
"Dead or alive, as long as the general wins, destroying the command is the first task, if the king of Goguryeo escapes, don't chase and kill, continue to create chaos, this battle General Ben can be regarded as understanding, although the king of Goguryeo has some means, but he is not familiar with the military, it is more beneficial for us to go back alive, and it is not good to change someone who understands military affairs." Qin Huaidao explained murderously.
"Obey!" Yu Chi Baolin was a little regretful, but did not object again.
Military orders are like mountains, and the overall situation is important!
After being the general, Yu Chi Baolin knew the truth, Qin Huaidao glanced at the Wei Chi brothers, his eyes fell on Luo Zhang, and continued: "The mercenaries are divided into three routes, each with three thousand people, no problem, right?" ”
"There were some casualties in the previous battle, and the number of nine thousand is no problem." Luo Zhang agreed.
"Remember the attack route, and tell the mercenaries when you go back that this battle is the key, no one can survive if you lose, there is no silver reward, if you win, one head will be doubled, the battle dead will be compensated for twenty times, and the seriously injured will be compensated for ten times, no." Qin Huaidao solemnly reminded that if he didn't give a minor injury, he wanted to stimulate everyone to fight for his life.
"Obey!" Luo Zhang kept the route firmly in mind.
Qin Huaidao saw that Li Yixie was eager to try, and this kind of tiger general would be wasted by staying by his side, so he said: "Li Yixie, you attack with the mercenaries who attacked the south gate, and there are slightly more enemy troops at the south gate, bring Yu Linwei." ”
"Obey, General Xie." Li Yixie thought that he would stay in the city and sit on the cold bench, and he was overjoyed.
With a general like Li Yixie, the south gate is not a big problem, Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Zhang again: "You personally lead the team to attack the east gate, as for the north gate, the enemy has the least number of troops, but you can't be careless, arrange it carefully after you go back, explain how to fight clearly, and there must be no mistakes." ”
Luo Zhang hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Qin Huaidao saw that it was almost over, and said: "Everyone, hurry up in this battle, if it is not successful, you will become benevolent, therefore, before the war, you must mobilize everyone, the city wall will be defended by An Guogong with a thousand people, if the enemy attacks, there will be no one, and the others shall not be disarmed, eat and drink enough, prepare a white cloth, sleep well after sharpening knives and guns, and nourish your spirit. ”
"Obey!" The crowd received the order and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao was soon left alone in the huge hall, looking at the drawings and pondering, his mind frantically calculating and deducing whether there was a problem with the night attack route, how the enemy would counterattack, whether the troops were enough, and so on.
Before you start, you have to think about everything and plan ahead!
After the fight, don't think about anything, just do it!
……
Almost at the same time, Anshi State.
The warm winter sun quietly sprinkled on the city wall, bringing some warmth to the city, the people in the city still did not dare to open the door, they all stayed at home, the empty street shops were closed, only a patrol team was cruising, the prosperity of the past was no more, and there were people infiltrating people quietly.
On the city wall of the south city gate, Cheng Chumo led the team to guard, and the soldiers all changed into the armor of the defending army, which at first glance was no different from the Goguryeo army.
Looking at the quiet official road ahead, Cheng Chumo waited a little anxious, stared at Zhu Zicheng impatiently and said, "It's been more than half an hour of the specified time, why haven't you seen the grain transport team coming?" ”
Zhu Zicheng didn't know what he was willing to, he was worried that the grain transportation team would already know that Anshizhou had been taken away and would return the same way, but he didn't dare to say this, and the ghost knew what treatment he would suffer if he didn't have food? I had to persuade with a smile: "This general is a little restless, there is no food, what will the front-line army eat?" What do the defenders in the city eat, so this grain must be brought over, and wait, wait, wait. ”
"Wait another half an hour, if you don't come, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite." Cheng Chumo threatened, although the last batch of grain was recovered, but it was only for 10,000 troops for five days, which was far from enough, but fortunately, a lot of silver grain was copied out by rich families in the city, and it was not a big problem for the army to last for more than ten days, and the reward was also sent down, and the army's morale was temporarily stable.
But Cheng Chumo knew that there was not much grain in Liaodong City, and it would be good to be able to intercept one more batch.
"I don't know what happened to Liaodong City now?"
Thinking of the safety of Liaodong City, Cheng Chumo was even more impatient, smashed his fist on the wall, and suddenly saw a long line at the end of the official road, and suddenly his eyes exploded, staring at him, and he became excited: "Order, prepare to fight." ”
"Obey!" A lieutenant replied excitedly.
"It's finally here." Cheng Chumo said, in a good mood, looking at the long queue, I am afraid that there is a lot of food, and said to Zhu Zicheng: "How will you receive ordinary grain when it is transported into the city?" ”
"Open the city gate and pull it straight to the granary."
"Don't you need to send someone to verify your identity, go down to dock?"
"No, the grain is transported to the granary, and after the inventory is completed, the person in charge can go directly to the city guard house to go through the relevant procedures." Zhu Zicheng hurriedly explained.
"It's best not to lie, if the grain transportation team finds out that the process is not right, be alert and flee, don't blame Lao Tzu for not being trustworthy." Cheng Chumo threatened, stared closely at the grain transport team coming in front of him, and clenched the horse lance.
After waiting for a while, the grain transport team came over slowly, saw that the gate was open, didn't think much about it, and went directly into the city, Anshi Prefecture is an inner city after all, not a front line, and there are 100,000 troops surrounding Liaodong City, the grain transport team has no doubts, Cheng Chumo looked at the grain transport team entering the city and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There are about 500 people in front of the grain transport team, responsible for opening the road, there is no one in the grain transport team, all are hired to catch up with the people, there are about 500 people behind the grain transport team, the total strength is 1,000, it is considered a normal operation, and after all the 500 people in front of him entered the city, Cheng Chumo raised his big hand high and cut down fiercely.
The archers hiding in the houses saw the signal and attacked decisively, and one after another feathered arrows flew in.
Nearly a thousand people shot at the same time, the attack power was so terrifying, a thousand arrows instantly enveloped the enemy, and most of them fell, and before they could react, another burst of feather arrows came over, and they were extremely fierce.
The enemy army was in an open place, there was nowhere to hide, and the incident happened suddenly, after two rounds of arrow rain, most of them fell, and the rest turned around and ran, but the city gate was blocked by grain trucks, so let's go out at all, the third round of arrow rain roared, followed by the fourth, and all 500 people were shot and killed in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry who were hiding behind the houses and waiting for their orders also rushed up to mend the swords of the undead enemy, and the people on the city wall also rushed down, pulled away the grain carts, cleared the passages, and the cavalry rushed out of the city as planned, killing the others, and the people who were driving the cars were frightened when they saw this scene, and they hid under the carriages.
The 1,000 cavalry did not kill the people, but went straight to the back of the 500 people, and the 500 people reacted, turned around and ran, and the soldiers did not allow the fat in their mouths to fly away, and beat their horses to catch up.
In the city, another team rushed out of the city to control the carriage, the people gathered, Zhu Zicheng also rushed out of the city to appease the people and avoid indiscriminate killing, Cheng Chumo did not stop it, and followed out and said: "Zhu Taishou, let everyone not panic, transport the grain to the granary with peace of mind, and the general will let them go back." ”
As for the news of the food grabbing, even if the other 500 people are killed, it can't be blocked, and no one will go back to arouse suspicion.
"Thank you, General." Zhu Zicheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly translated to the side to calm everyone's emotions.
The grain transport team quickly moved to transport the grain back to the granary, everything was in the plan, Cheng Chumo watched the carts of grain pulled into the city, there must be tens of thousands of stones, enough for the army to eat for a while, prompting the troops to help, and speeding up the transportation in, just in case.
Not long after, the cavalry roared, one by one excited, and a captain came up, clenched his fists and said, "General, all the enemy troops have been killed." ”
"Soon, be on alert, just in case."
"Obey!" The other party quickly gave the order, and a thousand cavalry dispersed, staring at the front of the official road with fierce eyes, and the grain had not yet been fully transported into the city, so it could not be careless.
There are too many vehicles, and the city gate is so big that you have to enter one by one.
In about half an hour, all the grain convoys entered the city, Cheng Chumo was relieved, led the cavalry into the city, closed the city gate, came to the granary and continued to star, and asked some soldiers to go up to help unload the grain, until all the grain was put into the warehouse, and after the people drove the carriage away, Cheng Chumo's heart was completely put down.
With this 10,000 stone of grain here, his confidence increased greatly, and he decisively ordered: "Order, seal the city gate with earth, and prepare to defend it to the death, and there must be no mistake." ”
"Obey!" The soldiers rushed to their respective posts.
Cheng Chumo took a group of people to the workshop to supervise the making of feather arrows.
The craftsmen and young men in the city were requisitioned last night, and in order to make everyone feel at ease and do things actively, each of them was given the same amount of silver, and they were all working hard to make feather arrows, and the wood and iron materials were collected from the castle guards and the homes of the wealthy.
Defend the city, you can't do it without feather arrows.
……
Different from Cheng Chumo's stubborn defense, Fang Yiai was completely released without restraint, and rushed overnight with 5,000 Khitan troops, one person and two horses, and the Marshall people did not stop, and they were racing all the way.
At dusk the next day, he came to rest in the woods north of Jinshan City, and was eating dry food, and the person in charge of reconnaissance hurried over: "General, the valley ahead found that the Muwei cavalry was heading in the direction of Jinshan City, about two thousand, with grain and grass, and they didn't even let go of the scouts, and they walked very slowly. ”
"Great." Fang Yiai was overjoyed, and immediately rushed to the officers to surround him, and followed Qin Huaidao for a while, not to mention the plenum, he also learned some methods, and Zhengse said: "Listen to it, this is a big fish, there is no defense, it is not difficult to take it." ”
Everyone nodded, but the morale was not high.
Anyway, everyone is a Khitan, and taking refuge in the Tang Army is yearning for the prosperous life of the Tang Dynasty, what is it to attack Murowei? None of them have the motivation to fight.
Fang Yiai has been in contact with the Khitan people for so long, and he has long been familiar with the mentality of these people, and reminded: "This group of people must have come from Buyeo, and they have not seen anything to rob with the style of the Murowei people, and there must be no shortage of gold and silver treasures on their bodies. ”
"Obey!" When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they had the motivation to fight.
With the advantage of moving, it is the most suitable for the Khitan army.
Fang Yiai didn't think so, but remembered that Qin Huaidao used silver to hire people to fight, whether it was the Xi people or the Khitans, they responded one after another, so he used this to boost the morale of the army, and when he saw everyone's enthusiasm, he grinded his fists and prepared to do a big job, and he didn't think much about it, and said: "Pass the order, gather the troops, and fuck it." ”
I have to say that Fang Yiai's style and personality are very temperamental to the Khitan people, and they took action one by one, assembled the team, and forwarded Fang Yiai's military order.
Soon, the team rushed out of the woods and rushed forward under the guidance of the scouts.
Not long after, a valley appeared in front of him, a team was slowly hurrying, perhaps hearing the sound of horses' hooves, someone hit the horse to check, Fang Yiai saw that it was still a sneak attack from behind, not a head-on collision, his confidence was greatly increased, and he shouted excitedly: "Rush up and kill them all!" ”
"Kill!"
Everyone roared, and they all opened their bows and arrows, this Khitan army was good at riding and shooting, and was also good at riding and fighting, screaming and rushing forward, and then releasing arrows when they entered the range.
The Murwei army hurriedly turned the horse's head and also took out the bow and arrow, but the horse speed did not rise, it was similar to the fixed target, and the Khitans came with a rain of arrows and fell down a lot, while the Khitans were full of speed, very fast, and not easy to shoot.
The Khitans almost pressed the Murwei people to fight, and rushed up in an instant.
Fang Yiai took the lead, rushed up and stabbed an enemy general with a shot, the horse lance swept over, the sharp blade tore apart the two people, and then rotated in a circle, and then crackled another person, the momentum was like a rainbow.
The Khitan people saw that Fang Yiai was brave, and they were also stimulated by the high fighting spirit, and they were afraid that Fang Yiai would have an accident, so everyone couldn't explain to Tang Jun, so they cut off the back road, desperately chased and killed, and protected Fang Yiai to rush forward and fight.
Fang Yiai is most annoyed by others to protect himself, he can't wait for a big battle, desperately hit the horse and rush forward, get rid of the protection, and shoot again and again with the horse lance in his hand, no one can catch the battle.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly chased after them.
In this way, if you chase me, you don't want to die, but your combat effectiveness skyrockets.
The people of Murowei didn't expect this team to be so fierce, almost everyone scrambled to be the first, they were frightened, and they retreated one after another.
This retreat, the people behind did not know the situation, and thought that they had failed, so they also retreated, and the canyon was not big, so there was no way to disperse and run, and the retreat quickly evolved into a big retreat, like a rout.
Seeing that the enemy was about to run, Fang Yiai was immediately unhappy, and he hadn't killed enough, so he roared angrily: "Don't run, stop me, who will fight with the master for three hundred rounds." ”
The war horse felt the fighting spirit of Fang Yiai, and was also stimulated to run up, so that the Khitan army also followed Mengchong to fight, and for a while, morale was like a rainbow.
5,000 to 2,000, and there is a fang widow who rushes forward to kill desperately, which boosts morale.
Soon, the Murwei army was completely defeated.
The hobby of the house is not easy to bring opportunities, where are you willing to let go? led everyone to chase them up, while shouting: "It's all silver, don't let one go." ”
As soon as everyone heard the silver, the fatigue disappeared instantly, and one by one rushed forward like chicken blood, constantly shooting, and when they rushed out of the valley, the advantage of troops was brought into play, everyone scattered to chase, arrows rained down, and the enemies killed fell off their horses one after another, and fled forward in a panic.
After chasing for several miles in one breath, until everyone was killed, Fang Yiai suddenly felt comfortable, and was fascinated, and returned with the troops, while collecting the spoils along the way, the horse must bring a spare, and the silver money hidden on the body cannot be let go, for this, the Khitan army is very skilled.
After returning to the canyon, the team rushed up excitedly to clean up the battlefield without giving orders.
Not long after, the loot was looted, all piled up in the open area, and the war horses were also driven together, Fang Yiai looked at the carts of grain, thinking that it might be used in the future, and ordered: "Carry the grain with war horses, count as much as you can, just in case, all the arrows that can be used are taken away, count the silver, see how much?" ”
The troops moved to carry the grain on horseback, some went to collect the feathered arrows for later use, and several officers gathered together to sum up the silver.
It didn't take long for the silver to be counted, and there were more than 3,000 yuan, which meant that each head was consistent and half, and Fang Yiai asked the officer to count everyone's results, as long as the total number was right, whether there was more than one report and was too lazy to care, as long as no one said that there was less and there was an opinion, the silver would be sent down.
As soon as everyone saw that Fang Yiyi was talking and counting, he really gave out silver, and cashed it on the spot, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.
Not long after, the silver was distributed, and a lot of food was loaded, and the rest were piled together, and a fire was burned, Fang Yiai looked at the direction of Jinshan City, and then looked at the direction of Fuyu City, signaled the general to come over, and said: "Everyone, why don't you go with this general to do a bigger vote?" ”
"Please show me the general." Everyone said, their eyes lit up.
"Jinshan City has our people, there is no oil and water, Fuyu is empty of details by Murwei, and there is no oil and water, let's go to Murwei to dig out their nest, all the seized meritorious deeds, why not?" Fang Yiai said bewildermently, and his heart became fanatical, if he succeeded in digging out the old nest of Murowei, would he still not be famous in the world?
Even if he doesn't succeed, he can make a big fuss, and forcing Murwei to withdraw from the army is also a great achievement, and the old man in the family must no longer scold himself for being a reckless man, right?
The old man's title is inherited by his brother, so wouldn't it be more enjoyable to kill a title?!
At this moment, Fang Yiai is ambitious.
The Khitan officers are also bold and bold lords, and they even dare to rob the Tang Dynasty, what else is there to be afraid of? When I thought that there were a lot of treasures in the old nest of Murowei, I was moved, and my eyes lit up, and they became fanatical one by one, and their eyes lit up.
"!"
"Let's do it!"
"Let's go, fuck it." Fang Yiai's love is like a wild horse that has escaped from the reins, completely free.
The Khitan officers shouted excitedly, led the troops to catch up, rushed along the official road, and went straight to the north.
Soon, the army of 5,000 disappeared into the vast snow.
