The Legend of Diaoyutai 103 Battle of Hefei (5)
Under the city of Hefei, in the big tent of Sun Quan in the Eastern Wu army.
All the generals and officers of the Eastern Wu Army gathered in the big tent to listen to Sun Quan's important battle decisions.
Sun Quan was already confident at this time, and said in high spirits: "The art of war is cloudy: defend one and attack ten. To defend a city with one force would require ten times as many troops to attack the city. King Gu has always wanted to plan to lure Cao's army out of the city, and then our Eastern Wu army will annihilate Zhang Liao's cavalry on the outskirts of the city. However, our army has been besieging Hefei City for more than ten days, but Zhang Liao's cavalry has not taken any action. Now Gu decided to make a large-scale feint with our Eastern Wu army to lure Zhang Liao's army out of the city. β
The generals of Eastern Wu said in unison: "The Supreme Lord is wise! β
Sun Quan ordered: "The LΓΌ Meng army, the Gan Ning army, the Ling Tong army, and the Chen Wu army are all in a special state of imminent battle, while the other deputy army units have begun to make retreat preparations and retreat in an orderly manner. β
Lu Meng asked: "Supreme Lord, is our army feinting to retreat to lure Zhang Liao's cavalry out of the city to attack?" β
Sun Quan nodded and said, "Please keep it confidential and don't say much." β
The generals of Eastern Wu said: "Obey the order of the Supreme Lord General!" β
Hefei city, too guarded house. Xue Yi, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and others were all present.
The scout hurriedly reported: "Lord Protector, the Eastern Wu Army is withdrawing its military tent and seems to want to withdraw its troops." β
Xue Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin: "Generals, we might as well go to the city tower to have a look and send Sun Quan to them." β
On the upper floor of Hefei City, Xue Yi, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and others were watching the Eastern Wu Army under the city.
The army of Xu Sheng of Eastern Wu was retreating, and under the banner of the word "Xu", Xu Sheng carried a spear on his horse and led the troops to move backwards.
Song Qian's army in Eastern Wu was retreating, and under the banner of the word "Song", Song Qian was carrying a big sword on his horse and leading the troops to move backwards.
The army of Pan Zhang's army in Eastern Wu was retreating, and under the banner of the word "Pan", Pan Zhang was carrying a big knife on his horse and leading the troops to move backwards. Pan Zhang's army was strictly disciplined, and the ranks were neat and orderly when the troops retreated.
Xue Yi smiled and asked Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin, "Generals, is the Eastern Wu Army really retreating?" β
Le Jin looked at it and said, "The Eastern Wu army seems to be retreating. β
Li Dian looked at it and said: "Some parts of the Eastern Wu army seem to be retreating, and the other part is standing still. Could it be that the Soochow Army is being mobilized and deployed? β
Zhang Liao said to Xue Yi, Li Dian, and Le Jin: "As far as Wen Yuan can see, the Eastern Wu Army has not retreated. Ladies and gentlemen, please see, not only did Sun Quan's Great Tent show no signs of withdrawing his troops, but the surrounding military strength has increased a lot. And LΓΌ Meng, the main force of Ganning's battles, was in a state of imminent battle. Those retreating feints seemed to be trying to lure our Hefei City cavalry to attack. β
Xue Yi nodded and said, "General Zhang is reasonable!" It seems that Sun Quan is ready to be disadvantageous to my Hefei City cavalry! My Hefei City cavalry should not be dispatched at this time. β
Zhang Liao watched carefully for a long time, then turned his head to Xue Yi, Li Dian, and Le Jin and said excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a good time for our Hefei army to attack with all its strength and completely defeat the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu!" β
Zhang Liao's words surprised Xue Yi.
Xue Yi asked Zhang Liao solemnly: "General Dangkou, Dutinghou, General Zhang is saying that he wants to completely defeat the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu?" Xue Yi heard me right, right? β
Li Dian and Le Jin both looked at Zhang Liao with wide eyes.
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "The prime minister led the army far away in Hanzhong, and within two thousand miles of Hefei, our Hefei City will not get any friendly support. At present, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu does not know much about the tactics of my iron cavalry, but after a long time, someone in Eastern Wu will definitely realize the method of restraining the cavalry of Hefei City. Hefei City is unbearable to be besieged for a long time, and it is inevitable that Hefei City will be broken by Dongwu after being trapped for a long time. β
Li Dian and Le Jin, the two generals who had been fighting for a long time, nodded silently.
Xue Yi asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?" β
Zhang Liao said: "Now some troops of Eastern Wu are feints to retreat, the purpose is to lure our cavalry to attack. However, at this time, it is also the time when the command and action orders of the Eastern Wu Army are the most chaotic, and our army will attack at this time, and it will definitely win a complete victory! β
Xue Yi asked solemnly again: "General Zhang just said that he would completely defeat the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu?" β
Zhang Liao said affirmatively: "Yes! Today's decisive battle is to completely defeat the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu! β
Xue Yi asked, "I would like to hear General Zhang's action plan." β
Zhang Liao said firmly: "The 100,000 troops of Eastern Wu can't be killed. Capture the thief and capture the king first, Wen Yuan will attack today and will directly target Sun Quan! β
Li Dian nodded in agreement and said, "Yes!" Capture Sun Quan, and the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu will be over! β
Xue Yi heard that he could completely defeat the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu, and he was also looking forward to it, so he asked Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, may I ask what do you need for today's decisive battle?" β
Zhang Liao looked at Xue Yi, Li Dian, and Le Jin, and said clearly: "In today's decisive battle, Zhang Liao asked to be able to dispatch all 7,000 men and horses in Hefei City. β
Xue Yi (who was specially sent by Cao Cao to control Zhang Liao) hesitated for a moment and said, "This ......"
Li Dian said loudly: "Brother Wen Yuan is going to have a decisive battle with the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu today, and the 2,000 men and horses under Li Dian are under the command of Brother Wen Yuan, and Li Dian also obeys General Zhang's orders. β
Le Jin also said: "Le Jin and his two thousand men and horses also obey Brother Wenyuan's orders!" β
What else does Xue Yi have to say at this time? , Xue Yi also nodded and said, "Okay!" General Zhang wanted to fight a decisive battle with the 100,000-strong army of Eastern Wu, and all the men and horses in Hefei City were dispatched by General Zhang. β
Zhang Liao said loudly: "Since all the generals have been united, please take immediate action." The soldiers were fast, and Zhang Liao was presumptuous: I, Zhang Liao, led 2,000 men and horses to rush straight to Sun Quan's camp, General Li Dian led 2,000 men and horses to advance on the left flank of Zhang Liao's army, and General Le Jin led 2,000 men and horses to advance on the right flank of Zhang Liao's army. The Lord of the Protectors led a thousand soldiers, and after the three-way cavalry left the city, he immediately closed the city gate and strictly guarded Hefei City. β
Xue Yi, Li Dian, and Le Jin replied loudly: "Obey!" β
The gate of Hefei City was opened, and the three cavalry of Zhang Liao, Li Dian and Lejin poured out of Hefei City like a tide.
The cities of Hefei were immediately closed again.
Xue Yi clenched his fists on the castle tower, observing the development of the battle with full attention.
The Cao army on the upper floor of Hefei City, with a bow and arrows, was ready to counterattack the Eastern Wu army that raided Hefei City at any time.
As soon as Zhang Liaohu's army rushed out of Hefei City, it first encountered the siege troops of Eastern Wu.
Of course, the siege troops of Eastern Wu could not confront Zhang Liaohu's army, and Sun Quan had already ordered: "When the cavalry of Hefei City goes out of the city, do not fight with the cavalry, but immediately dodge the two compartments and let the cavalry of Hefei City go deeper." After the Hefei cavalry penetrated deeply, they immediately closed the siege, resolutely cut off the retreat of the Hefei cavalry, and annihilated it outside the city. Do not let the cavalry return to the city. β
The siege troops of Eastern Wu immediately dodged away and let Zhang Liaohu's army advance deep into the camp of the Eastern Wu army.
However, the siege force of Soochow gave up the battle, and this time it could not save their lives. After Zhang Liaohu's army, Li Dianjun and Le marched on the left and right flanks who immediately rushed in.
Six thousand cavalry was a small number compared to an army of one hundred thousand. But in one part of the battle, on one battle surface, six thousand cavalry was a very strong force.
The siege force of Eastern Wu flashed Zhang Liaohu's army, but was swept by Li Dianjun and Le Jinjun on both flanks who followed closely, and all of them were killed.
Because there was an order to lure the enemy into the depths, Zhang Liao's army drove straight into the army and did not encounter resistance at all.
Upstairs in Hefei City, Xue Yi saw that the three cavalry of Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Lejin were making rapid progress, and couldn't help nodding secretly.
