Night 2 Blood Splattering Cross-Cutting Pass (5)
The second night of blood splashing traverse pass (5)
Because the northern soldiers led by General Zhao pinned down the southern soldiers of the nameless deputy general, the Donghai team became the object of no one's attention for a while, and was hung on the Beicheng Tower to rest. Huang Zhi and the others were also happy to do so, sending two people to guard the staircase, and confronted the small number of mob soldiers below with wide eyes, and no one was willing to take the initiative.
Zhang Wei came to the outward side of the city tower and made a code of waiting and waiting to the Eastern Navy waiting in the dark in the distance. Until there is no sign of subsiding in the civil strife at Hengduanguan, any superfluous move would be unwise.
"That doesn't seem like your original plan, does it?" Sima Fuqiang sensed this, so he took the initiative to ask Huang Zhi for verification.
Huang Zhi occupied the seat of the late General Sun at this time, put his feet high on the few cases in front of him, heard the captain's question, and lazily leaned forward before replying, "That's right, my original plan was to persuade General Zhao to join us with northern soldiers, but that was not difficult, so I temporarily adjusted it according to the situation on the spot." Don't you think it's better now? ”
"Each has its own merits." For this kind of thing that has not yet been born, Sima Fuqiang does not want to arbitrarily compare its advantages and disadvantages, but in fact, he still has an abacus in his heart to weigh the gains and losses of this matter.
On the bad side, Huang Zhi provoked infighting between the two sides, and even if General Zhao's side won the victory in the end, the dream man still had to face a certain number of Hengduan Pass defenders. When the Eastern Navy appeared outside the gate, even the deceived General Zhao would clearly realize that this group of people on the city tower was the real enemy.
At the same time, the Eastern Navy lost the opportunity to recruit soldiers from the northern part of Hengduan Pass, and it was difficult for General Zhao, who had been deceived once, to believe any of Huang Zhi's statements. If General Zhao's men and horses won the final victory in this internal strife, Sima Fuqiang would still have to let the Eastern Navy waiting outside the pass annihilate them all.
To put it bluntly, it is necessary to kill people and eliminate mouths, otherwise letting the people of the northern plains know that they were born in Hengduanguan will inevitably provoke a popular uprising. In this way, the Eastern Navy, which has never surrendered, is very likely to have to raise its butcher's knife this time and do a bad thing.
In the final analysis, Huang Zhi's trick can be called a poisonous plan, quite the style of Jia Xu, the first poison of the Three Kingdoms, it seems that he gets along with Jia Wenhe a lot in the main line of the Three Kingdoms, and he has been somewhat affected.
On the bright side, Huang Zhi's plan saved the East China Sea team a lot of trouble.
Not to mention whether they can persuade General Zhao to surrender under the siege of the southern soldiers, even if they can convince the other party, the nameless deputy general will not be able to sit idly by. The worse situation is that the persuasion fails, and General Zhao, because the current city tower is a member of the Eastern Navy, but he and the nameless vice general are twisted into a rope and unite to fight against the "invaders", then this battle is difficult to say.
Huang Zhi successfully took advantage of the contradictions within the mob army and the estrangement between the north and the south to provoke a dispute between General Zhao and the nameless adjutant, and no matter who won or lost in the end, in fact, greatly weakened the garrison of Hengduanguan. After the two sides divided the victory and defeat, it is believed that the remaining troops in Hengduan Pass are definitely less than fifty percent, that is, less than five hundred, and they are all tired soldiers who have experienced vicious battles.
At that time, the Eastern Navy was taking advantage of the situation to knock on the pass, and it was believed that it should not be difficult to take the Hengduan Pass, and the casualties would be greatly reduced.
All in all, Sima Fuqiang acquiesced to this state of affairs after evaluating the benefits of Huang Zhi's approach in his heart. Of course, he also realized the importance of cleaning up the mess afterwards, that is, killing and surrendering. And this, he knew that Huang Zhi must have never thought of it, otherwise the guy who was still soft-hearted estimated that he would not be so crisp when he used the discord meter, and it was estimated that he would have to be entangled for a long time.
The next time is to wait and see, and the battle between the north and south of the mob army in the Hengduan Pass under the city tower is becoming more and more intense, and it has completely entered a state of loss of control.
At the beginning, the nameless vice admiral in the south also planned to reason with General Zhao, telling him that there was a 1,500-strong Eastern Navy hidden in the darkness north of the Guanwai. But how can General Zhao believe it, he only thinks that this is the words of the southern soldiers, and it is intended to continue to delay time.
The nameless lieutenant tried to invite him to send a team to investigate, but General Zhao thought that this was the other party's plan to divide and encroach on the northern troops, so he refused to agree. In fact, when he believed Huang Zhi's rhetoric, no matter what the nameless deputy said, the first thought he reflected was that the other party was selfish and the other party had bad intentions. With such a mentality, how can the dialogue between the two sides continue?
It stands to reason that the nameless lieutenant general still has a chance to save the situation, as long as he restrains the southern soldiers, completely adopts a defensive position, and prevents them from attacking the northern soldiers, the contradiction will naturally gradually be resolved.
However, the number of soldiers of the two major factions in the north and south of Hengduan Pass was already equal, and in the process of fighting with the dream people of the East China Sea team, the southern soldiers had already suffered a lot of casualties, and they were at a disadvantage compared to the north. When the dreamman assisted General Zhao to get out of trouble, he maliciously shot and killed several southern soldiers who were blocking the way, which intensified the conflict between the two sides.
By the time General Zhao led the northerners to the north of Hengduan Pass, the southern soldiers were already at a disadvantage in numbers, about 10% less than the other side. The numerical disadvantage means the disadvantage in the control of Hengduan Pass, which also means the weakening of the right to speak, which makes the nameless deputy general who has always coveted the position of the general of the pass somewhat unbalanced, so the southern men and horses under his command counterattacked strongly, which was reflected in the casualties of the northern soldiers.
As General Zhao's men also suffered casualties in the battle, he became even more convinced of the "fact" of the nameless adjutant general's rebellion and seizure of power. He even felt that this person might have been bribed by the officials and soldiers of the Duzhou Prefecture, intending to restore the rule of the officials and troops in the tyrannical county, so he naturally let his subordinates no longer need to care about the robes of the same people's army, and beat the other party as the officials and soldiers of the Duizhou Prefecture.
Once the northern soldiers are ruthless, the southerners are even more angry, and they complain in their hearts about these northerners who don't distinguish between right and wrong, and at this time, even if the nameless deputy general comes out to shout to stop, it is no longer possible to restrain these emotionally uncontrollable subordinates. A vigorous civil war in Hengduan Pass is in full swing, and the ostensible cause is the discord of the people in the dream, but in essence, it is the inevitable explosion of factional contradictions and disputes within the mob army.
It can only be said that Huang Zhi's timing was quite good, and he ignited this unstable powder keg in a timely manner.
If there are still people in the Hengduan Pass at this time who have leisure to fight the watch, the time should have come to the fourth watch, and there are mob soldiers wearing the same military uniforms everywhere in the pass to catch and kill, and they use each other's accents to distinguish between friend and foe. Two soldiers of the mob army who had never known each other met, first scolded in a foul language, and then judged whether they were their own people by the other party's accent.
In this way, there are cases of accidental injuries from time to time. For example, some cunning southern soldiers happen to know the northern dialect, deliberately waiting for the northern soldiers to finish speaking, and then carry out a sneak attack after the other party relaxes. As a result, the northern soldiers were fooled and stabbed them in the back, but the southern brothers who did not know them were also fooled at the same time and stabbed them in the back as enemies.
This chaos lasted for a while, and both General Zhao and the nameless lieutenant realized that the scene was a little out of control, so they shouted and ordered the soldiers from the north and south who were fighting to change their uniforms on the spot to distinguish between them.
After fighting for a while, the fierce General Zhao finally led the northern soldiers to gradually gain an advantage by virtue of his outstanding performance in personal combat strength, and gradually compressed the southern soldiers to the north wall of Hengduan Pass. After deducting the dead and wounded, the total number of people who could still fight on both sides at this time was less than six hundred.
The southern soldiers were compressed under the northern wall to form a defensive formation, and for a time the northerners were helpless. At this time, General Zhao jumped out and shouted for the nameless lieutenant to come out and decide the winner alone.
In the dream on the city tower, people finally knew that this person's surname was Wu, but as for the name, they didn't know, and it was definitely not the "fearless ghost" in General Zhao's mouth.
Vice General Wu knew that he was not General Zhao's opponent, so he refused to come out to fight, but hid behind to avoid being attacked by the opponent. However, he only remembered that there was General Zhao in front of him, but he forgot that there was a more threatening dream man above his head behind him.
After a short discussion, the three stinkers of the East China Sea team reached an agreement in principle, believing that it was time to help General Zhao get rid of Vice General Wu, so Huang Zhi personally shot a string of "beaded arrows", directly ending the life of the unsuspecting Vice General Wu.
The southern army collapsed in an instant, and the remaining lieutenants did not have enough appeal to command and integrate the men, and for a time the southern troops fell into a situation of fighting on their own.
The contradiction between the north and the south of the mob army is particularly prominent at this time, according to the idea of the dream man, General Zhao should start to integrate the southern people at this moment, after all, everyone is a member of the mob army, kill the leader of the matter, and the battle should be over. Who knew that General Zhao had no intention of stopping, but instead let his subordinates take advantage of the chaotic situation of the other party to strengthen the offensive, and there was a great situation of killing them all.
Just in the dream, the people were puzzled and watched the battle situation below the castle tower, and the situation gradually became clearer. Several relatively cowardly southern soldiers were the first to abandon their weapons and ask for surrender, but they were mercilessly killed by the northern soldiers, which could not help but cause an uproar among other southern soldiers.
Originally, it was just a conflict between the north and the south, and a war of will, but now it has become a battle of life and death for the southern soldiers. war, it is possible to die; If you don't fight, you will die.
Originally, there were only about two hundred of the southern soldiers' living force left, only half of the opponent's, but because of the strong survival **, for a while, it was a powerful combat force of the Jedi counteroffensive in the posture of mourning soldiers, and the northern soldiers who occupied the southern part of Hengduan Pass were defeated and retreated, and in the end, no less than 100 people successfully broke through the opponent's defense line and fled from the south gate.
Huang Zhi shook his head on the city tower, very contemptuous of General Zhao's unwisdom, and couldn't help but rejoice that he didn't have to feel entangled in the inability to recruit this person.
After being trapped by the southern soldiers, the northern men and horses were once again damaged by about 20%, and at this time, including the lightly wounded who could continue the battle, there were less than 300 people under General Zhao. Even so, General Zhao was still unrepentant, and even let these subordinates clean up the battlefield in Hengduan Pass, and killed the seriously wounded and not dead southern soldiers.
Sima Fuqiang looked at this situation, and felt a little relieved in his heart, with the other party's murderous actions, the Eastern Navy would come to slaughter the city later, and Huang Zhi's psychology would not have much shadow.
Looking at the massacre below, Huang Zhi was already furious at this time, and he still treated his comrades like this, one can imagine how many bloody crimes the mob army committed against the people of Wei County, who were already the people of Donghai County, when they invaded the southern part of Wei County. Without Sima Fuqiang doing any ideological work for him, he had already decided not to let go of these mob soldiers who participated in the massacre.
General Zhao led his own soldiers to the city tower at this time, as a "help" team sent by the Tyranny City, the dream man naturally wanted to make a false deal with him.
Huang Zhi naturally had another deceitful rhetoric, "Vice General Wu colluded with the officials and troops in a vain attempt to betray Hengduanguan, and at this time the officers and soldiers were already under the city, waiting for several miles to the north." It is said that after waiting for Vice General Wu to successfully control Hengduan Pass, they will use the channel to invade the southern part of Storm County. ”
"Really?" General Zhao didn't believe Vice Admiral Wu's statement that there was an Eastern Navy outside to knock on the pass, but now he believed Huang Zhi's statement. "And what advice do you have?"
Want to suggest? Huang Zhi glanced at the captain and Zhang Wei, and couldn't help snickering in his heart, this guy in front of him was even more stunned than Li Erhu. It's okay to save the Eastern Navy from attacking the city, Huang Zhi had a plan, and immediately put it up, "The general can deceive the southern men and horses of Vice General Wu, pretend to go out to welcome the official army into the customs, wait for a mobile sneak attack, and catch the other party off guard." With the general's bravery, this battle will definitely be a success."
General Zhao discussed a few words with the deputies beside him, and felt that Huang Zhi's suggestion made some sense, so he decided to give it a try. At that moment, he ordered a hundred cavalry to prepare to go out of the city to carry out a "sneak attack". And Zhang Wei took advantage of the fact that the mob army was busy ordering troops and also sent a code to the Eastern Navy ambushed outside the pass, although he could not express it clearly, but it would not lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
Of course, General Zhao's subordinates were not completely brainless, and they still had some concerns about this Tyrannosaurus City team, so they asked Huang Zhi and others to accompany them.
And this is a good thing that Huang Zhi can't ask for, he is worried that Zhang Wei can't explain things clearly through the code, and he doesn't know if Du Ziteng and Liu Yuanzhi can make the right deployment to deal with this cavalry team that crosses the pass. Now that the other party has given this opportunity, he did not hesitate to "show his heart" and responded in one bite.
Ten people followed General Zhao's cavalry out of the city, and after traveling two miles, they estimated that the distance was almost over, so Huang Zhi proposed to General Zhao that each side send one or two people to explore the road, so as not to delay the sneak attack.
Seeing that it was pitch black ahead, General Zhao also felt that Huang Zhi's proposal was reasonable, so he ordered two scout cavalry to come out of the ranks. And the East China Sea team sent Xiaofeng, ready to use his "degree" to make some moves.
Xiaofeng ran as fast as the cavalry sprinted, but the scout pathfinder would never march with a sprint, so when the three of them disappeared into the darkness ahead, Xiaofeng quietly dismounted under the cover of night, and ran on foot to the place where the Eastern Navy was camped to report the news. When he ran back and got back on his horse, the two mob scouts who were some distance away from him were unaware that Wind had taken the lead.
When the three of them came back from exploring the road, they all said that the "officers and soldiers" were camping in front to rest, and the cavalry team was able to swing the maximum sprint effect from this distance.
General Zhao happily made the final preparations before the sprint, but he didn't know that the man in his dream had already laid a trap for him to go and never return.
