Chapter 247: Luring the Enemy
Li Jing's army traveled lightly, and half a month later arrived near Yangping Pass and set up camp more than 20 miles away from Yangping Pass. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The scout troops had already reconnoitred the intelligence of Yangping Pass and were reporting: "Marshal Qiyu, the guard of Yangping Pass will be the general Yang Ren, and there are 30,000 troops in the pass. General Zhang Wei led an army of 40,000 troops stationed in the mountains and forests a few miles away from Yangping Pass. ”
Li Jing frowned, and went around to the mountains and forests in the pass, and sure enough, Zhang Lujun was stationed. 40,000 troops, twice as many as your own. He also had to divide his troops to attract the attention of the Yangpingguan garrison, so that the army that could be sent to the mountain and forest bypass was only 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Ma Chaoyan said: "Marshal, the enemy has a large number of troops, do we have to wait for the arrival of the lord's army?" ”
Li Jing asked with a smile: "Meng Qi, are you willing to wait for the arrival of the lord's army, or are you willing to make the first contribution?" ”
"Of course, it's the first thing to do. It's just that our army has much less strength than the enemy. Even if you want to go around the mountains and forests, you are not familiar with the roads. It's still very difficult to get the first step to make a difference. ”
Kenshin Uesugi said, "Commander, I think that the small number of troops is the key factor in our success. We can show the enemy weakness and lure the enemy to take the initiative to attack. Then, through an ambush, the enemy army was annihilated in one fell swoop. ”
Li Jing stroked his palms and laughed, "Yes, that's the truth." As long as we can successfully lure the enemy forces out, we will get half the credit. ”
He continued to order: "Uesugi Kenshin, Ma Chao, you lead 10,000 soldiers to Yangping Pass, try to lure the enemy to annihilate. Lu Lingqi, you and I led 10,000 soldiers to make a detour. ”
"Yes, Marshal."
The avenue outside Yangping Pass is flat, which is just right for Uesugi Kenshin and Ma Chao to lead the cavalry to fight. Uesugi Kenshin is brave and resourceful, Ma Chao is brave and invincible, and the effect of their cooperation is absolutely good.
Li Jing left most of the cavalry behind, while he and Lu Lingqi sneaked into the mountains and forests with most of the infantry.
……
In the mountains and forests, Zhang Wei had ordered his soldiers to cut down trees, built a large village on the road leading to Yangping Pass, and built several fortifications.
"Haha, our army occupies a favorable position and has more troops than the other party, so this time we will definitely be able to make the Chang'an army have no return. A few days ago, the lord ordered someone to send an order, saying that he would join Cao Cao to attack Chen Xu, and then we would be able to take advantage of the situation to kill Xiliang. ”
Yang Bai exclaimed: "It is worthy of the lord to come up with such a wonderful idea." It is a blessing to be able to follow the lord and the general. ”
Zhang Wei laughed, "Chen Xu'er tried in vain to attack Hanzhong, but I didn't know that all this was in my brother's calculations. When we seize Xiliang and Chang'an, we can also have the opportunity to win the Central Plains. ”
At this time, a soldier came to report that the troops of the commander of the enemy's vanguard army had been found in the mountains and forests. According to estimates, the other side only has about 10,000 soldiers and horses.
When Zhang Wei heard the news, he immediately became happy.
The other side only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to break through here. This side has stationed 40,000 soldiers and horses here, and if it takes advantage of the numerical advantage, Li Jing will be annihilated in one fell swoop. and Yang Ren, the guard of Yangping, to flank the remaining 10,000 enemy troops, and Chen Xu's vanguard army can be wiped out.
"General, the other side only has 10,000 troops, are we ......?"
"Let's wait and see, it may also be the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy. If it weren't for the tactics to lure the enemy, it would not be too late for us to strike. ”
At the same time, Li Jing and Lu Lingqi were also on a high mountain, observing the fortifications built by Zhang Wei.
The fortifications built by Zhang Wei's people were strictly legal, and each fortification was interlocked, which could not only play a role in resisting the enemy army, but also not affect the rapid support of his own troops.
Li Jing secretly thought to himself: He is really a difficult enemy, and if he wants to successfully enter Yangping Pass, he must find a way to lure Zhang Wei out. If you can successfully kill Zhang Wei and Yang Bai, so that the enemy army is leaderless, you can successfully march.
Lu Lingqi also thought of this, and she said directly: "Commander, why don't you lead some of the soldiers to lure the enemy by the last general?" ”
Li Jing pondered for a while, "No, I, the commander of the vanguard army, will go to lure the enemy, and the possibility of the enemy being tricked is higher." ”
The two discussed for a while, chose the ambush location, and the retreat route of the luring enemy troops, and Li Jing went to lure the enemy with 5,000 elite soldiers.
……
Yangping off.
Ma Chao led his cavalry to show off his might.
"Listen to the Yangping guard, I am the Shenwei Heavenly General Ma Chao is also! If you dare to resist stubbornly, when I enter the pass, I will kill you without leaving a piece of armor! ”
The guard Yang Ren stood on the gate and scolded: "Phew, Ma Chao, you lackey!" was attacked by Chen Xu Xiliang, and he actually wagked his tail and begged for mercy, which really lost the face of a good man like us. If I were you, I would have lived a shameless life a long time ago. ”
After he finished speaking, he shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”
Whoosh.
Close the archer and bend his bow and arrows, and countless arrows rain down.
Ma Chao hurriedly urged the horse to retreat and ordered the archers to shoot at the gate.
The two sides fired at each other for a while, and in the end, no one could help the other, and they still maintained a state of confrontation.
After more than an hour, Ma Chao had no choice but to retreat with his subordinates.
Yang Ren waited for nearly an hour at the gate, and then confirmed that Ma Chao was really leaving, and not trying to take advantage of him to relax.
Soon after he returned to the mansion, a scout came to tell him: Li Jing and Ma Chao's three troops were divided into two routes, and Li Jing personally led one of the troops to march towards the mountains and forests outside the pass. Ma Chao and Uesugi Kenshin came to attack Yangping Pass with another force.
I see.
Yang Ren paced in the hall, his heart ready to move.
The other side only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, but there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yangping Pass. If you can use the main force, there is a great possibility that you will directly destroy the enemy army. Do you want to attack and destroy them directly?
He thought about it and thought about it, and finally forced himself to dismiss the idea. Ma Chao's strength is very strong, and he is not his opponent at all. Moreover, the idea of the main force of Yangpingguan is not very realistic, and it can only send 20,000 troops at most. The rest are to be stationed at the checkpoints to prevent accidents.
The next day, Uesugi Kenshin led his troops to Yangping Pass.
She raised Xiaodou Changguang and shouted: "Listen, the shrunken turtle in the gate, I am the general Uesugi Kenshin, you have a kind of rescue, and you will fight to the death with me!" ”
Yang Ren clenched his fists, and Ma Chao showed off his power under the pass. Now the enemy army actually sent a woman to fight and scolded him for being a turtle with a shrunken head, which is simply unbearable.
The surrounding soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, they were scolded by a woman for not planting.
"General, let's go out and give that woman a little color."
"General, I can't bear this, I really can't bear it."
"Yes, General, you give the order."
Yang Ren was already angry, and when he was persuaded by his lieutenant general, he immediately shouted: "Archer cover, I was going to lead the troops out to capture that woman alive!" ”
