XXXIII. The golden carp and the dragon bird face off

Thirty-three golden carps face off against dragon birds

In the barracks of the Yan army on a hill.

At night, Gongsun Yuan and Jiang Gan were drinking in the camp to celebrate the victory.

Suddenly, there was a drum noise.

The sergeant came to report: "Young Master, there are people attacking the camp in the southwest, and two of our people have been killed and wounded, and the invasers have been repulsed." Whether to pursue or not, please make it clear to the young master. ”

Gongsun Yuan widened his eyes and asked, "How many people are there who have come to invade?" ”

The sergeant replied, "It is estimated that there are about a dozen people." ”

Gongsun Yuan put his mind at ease, and said in a hehehe: "More than ten people come to harass, if I attack, I will definitely be tricked." On this night, our army was unfamiliar with the place, and the other party did not know the truth and reality, so it was easy to attack, and at least it was ambushed, and at worst it was taken advantage of by the Wu army to rob the camp. How can such a small trick lead me into a trap? Orders were given to all sentry posts, and in case of small group harassment, the main thing was to repel them, and if a large group of enemy troops came to attack, they should shoot with bows and crossbows, and use static braking. The battalions focused on resting and preparing for tomorrow. ”

Jiang Gan praised: "High! The young master uses soldiers, quiet as a virgin, and is not disturbed by stragglers. Move like a rabbit and annihilate the remnants of the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

The sergeant also reported: "There is another small group of enemy troops in the southeast, and they have been shot back." ”

Gongsun Yuan sneered: "As expected. Tomorrow, more spies will be sent to inquire, and they will definitely search for the Wu army's garrison and annihilate the Wu army in a decisive battle. Take Yizhou in one fell swoop. ”

At dawn, the Water Princess fleet is about to enter the sea gate.

A small boat approached.

Hua Yihua reported: "There is a Huang officer who has an urgent military situation to report to General Lu Wei. ”

The water princess glanced at Lu Wei, Lu Wei nodded, and the water princess said, "Please invite Colonel Huang." ”

A flower leads the yellow officer to see.

Colonel Huang said: "See Lu Garrison." ”

Lu Wei said: "This is the princess of Dongwu Shui, if you have any military information, just report it." ”

Huang Xiaoguan said: "See the princess." There is an urgent military situation report for the lowly position. Here's a report from General Singar's army. ”

Water chestnut took the military report and handed it to the water princess, and the water princess handed it to Lu Wei.

Lu Wei said: "Since the princess has arrived, please ask the princess to take full control." ”

After reading the report, the water princess said: "The military report said that there were five warships flying the Feiyan flag, and they asked to enter the port, and then changed to hoisting the dragon and bird flag, broke into the port, and looted on a large scale, and have now gone ashore and stationed in the camp in the back mountain. In order to avoid the front, General Xin had concealed the defenders and harassed the enemy at night. General Lu, what do you think? ”

Lu Wei said with a heavy heart: "Pirates sometimes appear at sea, but this is the first time that they enter the port to loot and camp in the mountains. The intention of its vain attempt to hold it for a long time is clearly revealed. ”

The water princess nodded and said: "Hang the Feiyan Flag first, when it is the Liaodong Yan Soldiers, and then change the Dragon Bird Flag, to cover its whereabouts, it is really like the so-called Yan Army of the Governor of Lusu is also a soldier and a bandit." Officer Huang, what is the number of offenders? ”

Officer Huang said: "There are five ships of prisoners, and there are four or five hundred people. Last night, General Xin set up an ambush and attacked the enemy camp with a small force. However, the enemy camp only resisted with random arrows, and did not fight. ”

The water princess nodded and said: "The Yan army is indeed a long-trained army, which should not be underestimated, and should be taken seriously." What does General Lu think? ”

Lu Wei said: "Listen to the princess's dispatch and command. ”

The water princess cheered up and said, "The enemy army is coming from five or six thousand miles away, and it should be a lone brigade, and there is no backup. But the enemy army is an elite army of a hundred battles, and its ambition to capture Yizhou in one fell swoop is not small. Judging from the fact that the enemy and our forces are comparable, this battle is not suitable for a long time. It is necessary to completely annihilate the enemy forces in one fell swoop and fight a fierce battle before they can start deploying. ”

When the generals heard that there was going to be a big battle, they immediately lifted their spirits.

Lu Wei heard the water princess's analysis of this battle and nodded yes. But Lu Wei asked a question and said: "It's best before the Yan army has begun to deploy, but now that the Yan army has occupied my mountain camp, how can we recapture our army's mountain camp?" Is our army going to storm the hilltop barracks? ”

The water princess nodded to Lu Wei and said, "The mountain camp must be recaptured, but it can't be stormed." The Yan army is condescending, and a strong attack on our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses. ”

Lu Wei said worriedly, "Then how should we recapture the hilltop camp?" ”

The water princess nodded and smiled: "When the enemy army first arrived, the camp was not stable, and its heavy grain and grass must still be on the ship. In the harbor, the ship is the real base camp of the enemy. While its troops are stationed in the back mountains and the camp is empty, our army will attack its fleet, and its army will be chaotic, and our army can take advantage of the chaos to annihilate it. ”

Lu Wei nodded and said, "What the princess said is very suitable for the use of soldiers. Willing to lead the army to kill the enemy. ”

The water princess said to Lu Wei: "Attack the enemy ships of the Yan army, and the fleet led by the palace will fight them head-on." ”

Lu Wei nodded and listened.

The water princess continued: "Now General Lu can return to the shore with Huang Xiaoguan's original ship and join General Xinge. Inform General Xin that the ambush set up last night is in line with the art of war, and there is no need to withdraw it, and it is necessary to strengthen and increase the ambush troops. Our army waited for work and continued to set up ambushes. General Lu and General Xin should immediately reinforce all our land forces and ambush the ambush troops, and prepare more bows and arrows. When our fleet attacks the enemy ships, the enemy forces in the rear mountains will inevitably withdraw the escort ships with all their might. At this time, the two generals did not need to attack, but only killed the enemy with ambush arrows. It was expected that the enemy army was eager to defend at this time, and did not dare to divide the troops to ambush the two generals, so they only cared about taking the road and leaving. In this way, the ambush and arrows can injure one-tenth or two-dozen enemies. The two generals waited for the enemy's brigade to pass behind, and then pursued after the enemy's brigade, so that they could pick up two or three tenths of its remnants. When the enemy retreats and embarks on the ships and leaves, only about five or six tenths of the strength remains, and our fleet will strive to annihilate them completely. ”

When Lu Wei heard this, his confidence doubled, and his spirit lifted and said: "Princess, rest assured, Lu Weiding and General Xin have captured all the remnants of the enemy on the shore." Lu Wei took his leave. ”

The water princess added: "General Lu, in order to strengthen secrecy, you must explain to General Xin and eliminate the secret agents. Any foreigner found to be of unknown origin shall be temporarily detained. ”

Lu Wei replied, "Yes." Be sure to get rid of the spies! ”

This order of the water princess caused all the spies sent by Gongsun Yuan to be wiped out (in Yizhou at that time, it was easy to identify outsiders). Gongsun Yuan became blind and deaf.

Lu Wei led the Huang officer to hurry away.

The water princess ordered: "All ships are ready for battle, prepare more sulfur rockets, and enter the harbor at noon to kill the enemy." ”
