Chapter 429: Fire Attack Strategy

Naturally, the Overseer did not dare to tell the truth, so he relayed all the false information that he had heard every day to Yuan Shao.

Tian Feng and Guo Tu had a fierce quarrel, and Yuan Shao's head grew again.

"Don't make any noise!"

Yuan Shao broke off, rubbed his head, closed his eyes and asked, "I just need to deal with it, instead of listening to your non-stop arguing." Yuan Hao, you say it first. ”

Tian Feng has a straightforward personality, and he quarreled with Guo Tu so much that he was red-faced, glared at him fiercely, and arched his hand: "For today's plan, it is to send scouts to understand the movements of Cao Jun and Shi Jun." At the same time, preparations were made to attack Taixian in three days. ”

Guo Tu sneered: "Tian Yuanhao is really upright, don't you know how to be a soldier and don't get tired of cheating? These three days are when their defense is the weakest, our troops are superior, and we should take the opportunity to invade on a large scale, and we will definitely be able to catch them off guard." ”

Yuan Shao has always paid attention to reputation, and immediately shook his head and waved his hand, "Tearing up the agreement is such a thing, if it can be avoided, it will be avoided, otherwise our army will not be able to raise its head, and its morale will be even lower." ”

Guo Tu continued to lobby: "Those who do big things have always been informal, and this is even more true when they become kings and lose. When the mouth grows on us, you can say whatever you want. Otherwise, the lord can put the responsibility on his subordinates, and his subordinates are for the great cause of the lord, what is this reputation? We were attacked by Zhao Yun and Sun Ce a few more times, and we lost the bet, and we need a victory to stimulate our morale. ”

Seeing that Tian Feng was about to speak again, Guo Tu hurriedly said: "For the sake of insurance, we should also transfer the 20,000 troops from Liyang to attack together." Then draw 30,000 troops from Yecheng and station in Liyang, one can deter Cao's army, and the other can be used as a reserve army to attack and retreat. In this way, our army will be able to capture Taixian with 120,000 people against 60,000 of them. Hehe, Cao Cao may still be working hard for Jinan City at that time!"

"Hmm...... But in this way, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses left in Yecheng, will it be risky?"

Yuan Shao was so hot by Guo Tu that he was willing to be a substitute for the dead who tore up the agreement, no matter how much he didn't have any doubts, he just felt a little risky.

Guo Tu said confidently: "The lord can rest assured, Yecheng is protected by a real dragon staff, and the eldest prince and the third prince are in charge of the overall situation, which is as stable as Mount Tai, and 50,000 elite soldiers are enough to resist a million lions." ”

"Haha, the public is really thoughtful. So let's decide. Yuan Hao, you go in person, let Fu Zhi lead 20,000 soldiers over, and you will draw 30,000 from Yecheng to Liyang. Well...... Take Zhang He and Euphorbia back, there is no point in staying here anyway. Go for it!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Tian Feng and began to deploy relevant tactics with Guo Tu to raid Taixian County tonight.

Tian Feng was not welcomed, sighed, and retreated.

Besides, Shi Xin retreated to Taixian County, praised Gao Shun and Zhang Ning fiercely in front of the whole army, and spoke highly of the soldiers in the trapped camp and the Five Elements Battalion. Gao Shun and the trapped camp are used to seeing this kind of scene, and they are familiar with Shi Xin, and they are modest for a few words, and they dare not take credit.

And Zhang Ning was triumphant, he had to pester Shi Xin for a reward, and he couldn't send himself away with just a few words. The female soldiers also surrounded Shi Xin, squeaking and chattering, smearing a fresh and bright color in the male barracks.

Zhou Tai and Zhang Meiniang both walked out and pulled Zhang Ning back.

Zhou Tai didn't say much, only frowned and said, "Ning'er, don't mess around." ”

Zhang Meiniang is good at seduction, guarding military discipline in the barracks, respecting and inferiority to the lord, and so on.

Seeing that the two closest people didn't help him speak, Zhang Ning had no choice but to puff up angrily: "I know, I know." ”

The crowd came to the makeshift chamber to discuss the military situation.

Jia Xu, who had recovered, came out and said: "Lord, Yuan Shao was defeated today, and he broke the camp first, and he must be very angry." We need to beware of him coming in a rage to sneak up on him. ”

Shi Xin smiled: "I promised him three competitions at the beginning, just to attract him to attack, but I was afraid that he would not come." Kong Ming, Gong Jin, are you ready for everything?"

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu glanced at each other and said with a smile: "It's all ready, and Cao Cao also agreed to cooperate." If he doesn't come today, we'll be wasting all our time. ”

In the evening, the soldiers and horses of Taixian County moved. Yuan Jun scouts entered Yuan Shao, saying that they saw the soldiers and horses of the Qingzhou Army Brigade coming out of the south gate of Taixian County and heading towards Jinan City, adding up to about 30,000 people. The generals who led the team were Zhao Yun, Sun Ce, Jia Xu Chen Gong, as well as Gao Shun and the trap camp. They looked flustered, and it was estimated that something big had happened in Jinan City.

Most of the people in Taixian heard that a big war was coming, and followed the army south, presumably fleeing to other counties in Qingzhou or, more peacefully, Xuzhou.

At this time, the overseers sent to Cao's army happened to report the military situation, and Cao's army surrounded the southeast and north gates of Jinan City, leaving the west gate alone, and attacked with all their might, I am afraid that there will be results within these two days.

Yuan Shao and Guo Tu corresponded to the previous events, and immediately understood that Zhao Yun and others were leading the army to relieve the siege of Jinan.

Yuan Shao said: "No wonder Shi Xin wants to make an agreement with me, it turned out to be a plan to delay the army, but fortunately I didn't listen to Tian Feng's words, otherwise I would have missed the opportunity." When they relieve the siege of Jinan, they will definitely transfer their soldiers and horses back to Taixian County to fight with our army. ”

Guo Tu sneered: "Tian Feng's words hurt people, and he often boasts that he can plan the world, but in fact, he cherishes his reputation, and he doesn't really give advice to the lord. ”

Taking the opportunity to slander Tian Feng, Guo Tu continued: "Now there are only 30,000 people in Taixian County, and we are three times as many as them. ”

Yuan Shao stroked his hair, swept away the loss of the day, and laughed, "Then I will hand over the dispatch of the army to the public rule, and you will preside over tonight's plan to catch turtles." ”

Guo Tu hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

It was night, the moon was dark and the stars were sinking, and the earth was lightless.

The four city gates of Taixian County were wide open, and the city was quiet.

Guo Tu led 90,000 soldiers, more than 20,000 at each city gate, led by Tong Yuan Li Yan and Yan Liangwen Chou, and took advantage of the night to cover up Taixian.

Arriving near the city gate, a burst of earth-shattering gongs and drums sounded, and 90,000 soldiers raised torches and shouted loudly.

Taixian County is not big, and the four roads of people can enter from the city gate to the center of the city without hindrance, and it only takes two tea times.

"Huh, why is there no movement, what about the Qingzhou Army?"

Under the protection of Gao Lan, Guo Tu rushed from the rear army to the center, and countless questions welled up in his heart.

Taixian is still quiet, and the expected stubborn resistance or panic in the middle of it has not appeared.

In the middle of a dilemma, several torches suddenly lit up at the heads of the four cities. Everyone saw it clearly, and the leaders were Shi Xin and Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang lupine scarf, Confucian clothes fluttering, pointed at Guo Tu and laughed: "Guo Tu is stupid, you are in a trick!"

"Sergeants, beat the drums!"

A sergeant had already lifted out the gong and drum and beat it vigorously.

The gongs and drums are not too big, but they are enough to spread to every corner of Taixian County, and they are enough to shock the hearts of every Yuan Jun. Obviously, the sound of gongs and drums has another layer of meaning.

Sure enough, with the sound of gongs and drums, several flames suddenly burst out in the four corners of Taixian County, east, west, north and south, and after a while, there was a crackling blasting sound.

Although it was early spring and the air was humid, the Qingzhou army was obviously prepared to pile up flammable materials in various houses, and the fire quickly spread from the edge of the city to the center, and soon burned to the sky.

These arrangements were all made by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, two peerless sages who had an almost paranoid fascination with fire attacks in their past and present lives, and planned this fire siege plan with Shi Xin.

Guo Tu's wisdom is not low, and he knew that he had been fooled after thinking about it, and he was already frightened. Trying to stabilize his mood, he shouted: "The rear army becomes the front army, and quickly retreat to the camp." He turned his head and gritted his teeth and said to Zhuge Liang, "Zhuge Villager, you actually plotted against me?"

Zhuge Liang at the head of the city sneered, and scolded with a slap on his face: "Guo Tupifu, you are in collusion with your lord, openly tear up the agreement, and be that treacherous. This time it is the cycle of heavenly principles, and it will eat its own evil consequences. ”

Guo Tu hated itchy, turned his head to Li Yan and said: "Master, Zhuge Liang is a military division of the Qingzhou Army, if he is captured in front of the battle, he will definitely be able to break an arm, and the lord will be able to explain it." Please ...... please."

As soon as Li Yan thought of Yuan Shao's face, his mood immediately fell, and he took out the abbot's gun, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go!"

"Senior Tong Yuan, Shi Xin will be handed over to you. Alas...... Even if you can't kill him, it's good to delay it for a while. ”

Tong Yuan sighed and shook his head, picked up the Penglai gun, and hurried towards Shi Xin.

Shi Xin and Zhuge Liang saw that Tong Yuan and Li Yan were coming, and they glanced at each other, and a big peng spread its wings and flew down the city wall, luring Tong and Li away.

Guo Tu commanded Yan Liangwen Chou and Gao Ran, and led the whole army to the direction of the city gate.
