Chapter 452: The Southern Army Goes North
Due to the sudden attack of Nancheng's army, to the surprise of Liang Guo, Lu Feng, the Taishou of Datong County, did not react and was caught off guard.
On the battlefield, he saw the enemy's main general, Pei Ji, and loudly questioned the reason for breaking the alliance and attacking the allies without authorization. As a result, Pei Ji stepped forward and slashed him with a knife.
As soon as Lu Feng died, the Datong army was in chaos, and Pei Ji led his troops to kill and disperse, directly occupying the city.
Lu Feng is a child of the Lu family, and he is called Lu Cong's uncle.
Although he is not a nephew, after all, the Lu family was killed by Pei Ji, and Lu Cong was furious, so he wanted to drive his own expedition and go south to find Pei Ji for revenge.
Sima Fa hurriedly persuaded Lu Cong, and Lu Yuan asked for his life to avenge Lu Feng.
Lu Cong, who calmed down, appointed Lu Yuan as the chief general and led the army south.
Lu Yuan arrived in Jersey County, just as Pei Ji's soldiers and horses were here, and they attacked Jersey fiercely.
The situation in Jersey County is critical, and the city is in danger of being broken at any time.
Lu Yuan immediately led a large army to rush to the aid and went straight to the enemy's formation.
Pei Ji learned that Lu Yuan was leading troops to help, so he gave up the siege and met the battle in person.
The armies of the two sides met in the field and confronted each other head-on.
Lu Yuan saw Pei Ji and shouted: "Kill my brother, take your life!"
Pei Ji held the green dragon thorn in his hand and greeted him head-on.
The two generals went head-to-head on the battlefield, and you fought back and forth for hundreds of rounds, without a win.
On the side of Nancheng, Yang Zhao, the military advisor of the army, saw that Pei Ji and Lu Yuan's strength were not much different, and he was already out of breath after hundreds of rounds, worried about the loss, and hurriedly mingjin.
On Lu Yuan's side, the military advisor Yanping was also worried that something would happen to the main general, and he also Mingjin.
The commanders of both sides withdrew with their respective troops and camped around Jersey County.
When Jersey Taishou saw the reinforcements coming, he was immediately relieved.
After the battle, he hurried out of the city to meet Lu Yuan, and the two sides joined forces.
Lu Yuan returned to the main account and asked Yan Ping: "Pei Ji killed my brother, can this revenge not be avenged? Why did you suddenly Ming Jin prevent me from killing the enemy general!"
Yan Ping replied: "The general's strength is superior, and Pei Ji is not a good type." If it continues to be entangled, it is unpredictable on the battlefield. The subordinate believes in the strength of the general, but if the enemy cheats, he must guard against it! If he wants to take revenge, there are many ways. ”
"What is the strategy of the military advisor?" Lu Yuan asked busily.
Yan Ping said: "The general is full of food and drink, and rest for half a day. Let's invite a battle at night, trick Pei Ji into coming out, set a trap when the time comes, introduce him, and discipline him if he comes back or not!"
Lu Yuan is bent on revenge, not that he has a good relationship with Lu Feng.
Although he and Lu Feng are cousins, they have never met. It's purely that someone in the family is killed, even if it's not familiar, it's family, and the concept of family in this world is very strong.
He doesn't have to kill Pei Ji alone, as long as he can take revenge, any means can accept it.
So he listened to the plan, buried the whole army in the pot to cook, and rested in advance to recuperate.
At the same time, let the Jersey County Taishou send soldiers who are familiar with the terrain as guides, and find the most suitable area for the battlefield to set a trap nearby.
That night, Lu Yuan, who had cultivated his spirits, led his troops out of the battle and came to the Nancheng camp to call for battle.
Of course, Pei Ji will not be afraid to fight, so he will lead the troops to meet him.
Yang Zhao came over and said solemnly: "General, the enemy army rests during the day and invites battle at night, it will be strange!
Pei Ji nodded and took note of Yang Zhao's words.
When the two armies met in front of the formation, Lu Yuan stepped forward, and pointed at Pei Ji with a plum halberd and shouted: "Pei Ji, you and I have won and lost during the day, but you dare to fight with me at night!"
"I'm afraid you won't make it?!" Pei Ji immediately raised the green dragon thorn and rode out of battle.
The two main generals fought in front of the battle, and Ding Lingdang fought more than 30 times.
Lu Yuan suddenly turned around and quickly ran to the side, revealing his flaws.
Pei Ji instinctively chased after him, chased a few steps and thought of Yang Zhao's words, so he turned his horse's head and returned to his own military formation.
Lu Yuan saw that Pei Ji was not fooled, so he turned around again and shouted: "The enemy will leave!"
Seeing Lu Yuan turn around and kill, Pei Ji also immediately turned around and stepped forward to fight with him again.
The two war horses were spinning around, and the two sides fought for more than 20 times, Lu Yuan pretended to be weak and turned around and fled again.
Pei Ji didn't chase after him, but laughed and shouted loudly: "The surname Lu is nothing more than that!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan was so angry that he couldn't do it.
Forgot the plan for a moment, and rushed back angrily: "Pei Ji Pifu, let you know how powerful Grandpa Lu is!"
"I'm afraid you won't make it?" Pei Ji greeted him directly.
The two of them tried their best, and you fought back and forth for nearly a hundred rounds, all of them were exhausted and out of breath.
Seeing that the other party did not fall for the plan, but provoked Lu Yuan to lose his mind, Yan Ping hurriedly ordered the generals around him to go into battle to help Lu Yuan.
Seeing the generals of the Liang State coming on horseback, Yang Zhao also hurriedly ordered his own generals to come out of the battle.
The generals of both sides went to the battlefield and engaged in a scuffle with each other.
Fighting with each other and hurting each other, Yang Zhao and Yan Ping saw that Pei Ji and Lu Yuan were gradually tired, and hurriedly mingjin.
The armies of both sides separated again and returned to their respective camps.
When Lu Yuan returned to the main tent, he said to Yan Ping: "Strategist, your strategy is useless! Pei Ji was not fooled. ”
Yan Ping nodded: "Just now, the lower official checked carefully and found that there was a civilian official in the enemy camp who commanded the whole process, and he was definitely not a simple person, at least he saw through the strategy of the lower official." ”
"How do you deal with that?" Lu Yuan asked.
"It's okay," Yan Ping thought for a moment, "let's rest for the night and recuperate." Tomorrow, he can order the Jersey Taishou to quietly send troops and turn behind the enemy in a detour. The general still went to invite the battle to attract the attention of the enemy. When the time comes, if you suddenly attack from the rear, the enemy army will be chaotic, and the general will take the opportunity to lead his troops to cover up and kill, and he will win a big victory!"
"Okay!" Lu Yuan believed in Yan Ping, after all, he was Sima Fa's good friend, and he was also a person that Sima Fa respected and trusted.
On the second day, he directly led his troops to invite him to battle.
Pei Ji came out to fight, and the main generals of the two sides fought again in front of the battle.
According to Yanping's order, the Jersey Taishou set out from the north gate before dawn, circled the city, and quietly turned to the rear of the Nancheng army from the nearby mountain road.
When Lu Yuan and Pei Ji fought fiercely in front of the battle, and the attention of the soldiers on both sides was on the main general, they suddenly appeared in the rear and launched a surprise attack.
The Nancheng army did not expect that the rear was taken by surprise and plunged into chaos.
Knowing that the place suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind, Yang Zhao ordered the mouth to be sealed, forbidding the soldiers to report to Pei Ji and disrupting the battle of the main general. Personally turn to the rear for dispatch and methodically deploy defensive formations.
Under his command, the rear army quickly recovered from the chaos and formed a tight defensive formation, carrying the Jersey Taishou troops to block the offensive.
Unable to defeat the rear of the Nancheng army, Jersey Taishou resolutely withdrew for safety reasons. Yan Ping was surprised by the other party's reaction, and was convinced that there were quite powerful people in the other party's army, so the main army was pinned down to create a guarantee for the safe evacuation of the Jersey Taishou.
By the evening, each had its own troops, and both sides had losses.
Yang Zhao said: "The enemy army has made moves one after another, which is not simple. But I have a plan, I can take Jersey County lightly!
"What is the strategy of the military advisor?" asked Pei Ji.
"Tomorrow, Lu Yuan invites war, and our army hangs up the exemption card and ignores it. Yang Zhao said, "At the same time, the whole army in the camp is digging soil. ”
"What does this mean?" Pei Ji looked dazed.
Yang Zhao said with a smile: "When the enemy army sees that our side is unwilling to fight, they will definitely send people to observe." Once it was discovered that our camp was digging the whole army, they mistakenly thought that the general was going to dig a tunnel to enter the city. If you want to stop the general, the opponent's soldiers and horses will definitely be stationed on the road you must pass, bury obstacles in advance, and strictly defend them. Under the cover of digging earth, the general secretly made a detour from the side and turned to the east gate of Jerseyshire. The enemy's attention is in the tunnels, and the guards must be weak. Take this opportunity to grab the city gate and enter the city in one fell swoop. Once we occupy the city of Jerseyshire, it will be our advantage, and when the general will send troops from the city, he will form a flanking attack with me, and he can crush the enemy army!"
"Strategist's clever plan!" Pei Ji's eyes lit up.
The next day, Lu Yuan once again led his troops to call for battle.
Pei Ji's side really hung up the exemption card, and stayed in the camp and refused to come out.
No matter how Lu Yuan scolded, there was no reaction.
Lu Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he asked Yanping.
Yan Ping sent people to investigate, and soon learned that there was a lot of construction in the enemy camp, and it seemed that the whole army was digging earth.
Lu Yuan asked, "What does Pei Ji mean by this?"
Yan Ping thought carefully, frowned and said, "Do you want to dig a tunnel and go straight to the city?"
"How to deal with it?" Lu Yuan was startled.
"It's okay!" Yan Ping waved his hand, "If the enemy wants to dig through the tunnel, they must choose soft terrain, and we can set up obstacles in advance on the road they must pass, and wait for them to dig and capture them in one fell swoop!"
Therefore, according to Yanping's instructions, Lu Yuan's army set up ambushes at several critical intersections, and drove wooden stakes or dug deep ditches in the ground in advance to obstruct them, so as to ensure that the enemy would be stopped when he dug this side, or he would come out of his head.
Pei Ji quietly led his troops to leave from the rear of the camp, made a detour from the deep mountains, and quietly turned to the East Gate of Jerseyshire.
Sure enough, as Yang Zhao expected, Jersey Taishou went out of the city to join forces with Lu Yuan, guarding the key intersections outside the city, but neglected to defend the city.
The main thing I didn't expect was that Pei Ji would use digging tunnels as a cover to attract attention, and then quietly make a detour to sneak attack.
As a result, the east gate was attacked by a surprise attack, and it was too late to react, and was broken by Pei Ji's soldiers and horses.
The army entered the city and soon took control of the four gates.
The city was stolen, which made Lu Yuan shocked.
The most panicked are the Jersey Taishou and the local generals, after all, their families are all in the city.
Without waiting for them to react, Pei Ji led his troops out of the south gate and launched a surprise attack on Lu Yuan's army.
Yang Zhao led his troops north and launched a flank attack with Pei Ji's army.
Lu Yuan's army was really defeated, and finally broke through the siege and urgently retreated to Chicheng County.
Jersey Taishou led the local generals to temporarily withdraw with Lu Yuan.
Many of them, worried about their wives and children, left the team halfway and turned around to surrender to the Nancheng army, just asking for the safety of their families.
Pei Ji won two cities in Datong and Jersey in a row, and Lu Cong was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Nancheng, who was despised, should not be underestimated in combat power.
In order to recapture the city, he hurriedly dispatched Sima Fa to lead Zhou Hao, Lei He, and Lu Jian to lead the troops south.
Ma Jian got the battle report and learned that Pei Ji had captured the two cities of Datong and Jersey, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Following Feng Qiao's suggestion, he immediately sent troops north to support, demanding that the defense of the two cities be stabilized and that Lu Chong could not be recaptured.
