Chapter 14: A Fight of Wits (4)

Contrary to the situation of Zhu Hu and Zu Lang, Geng Ji and Jiao Bing led a thousand men and horses to encounter obstacles at the north and south gates, but the resistance encountered was significantly smaller than that of the east and west gates, but even so, the process made Zhu Hu and Zu Lang break out in a cold sweat.

Although the Jiangdong Army was inferior, the soldiers were very tenacious, and everyone would die and die.

Soon, the situation in various cities reached Sima Yi's ears.

could have attacked in a big way, but Sima Yi suddenly became a little cringe at this time.

Did Guo Jia put his heavy troops at the east and west gates and give up the defense of the north and south gates? At least on the surface. But if that's the case, then the problem arises. Since Guo Jia opened the city gate, he just wanted to lure himself into the city before the conditions were ripe, and then use a trick to ambush and trap him. But with his ingenuity, it is absolutely impossible to do this obviously? Anyone with a little bit of brains can see it. The east and west gates are quite strong, and the north and south gates don't look weak, if they don't know the details of the Jiangdong army, they really think they are strong.

So what's next? Sima Yi pondered and meditated. It stands to reason that since the east and west gates show such strong combat effectiveness, they should attack the north and south gates, but Guo Jia is a scheming person, in case he makes an illusion, the east and west gates are just a strong shell, but there is nothing inside? On the contrary, the north and south gates showed that they were weak, lured their own soldiers into the city, and then designed an ambush? Well, there is a possible surname. Thinking about Guo Jia's strange soldiers, every time he didn't play cards according to common sense, Sima Yi became more and more convinced that Guo Jia used such a trick.

"Zhu Hu, Zu Lang, Geng Ji, Jiao Bing, you can talk carefully about the situation at that time, and you must not make any mistakes." Sima Yi, who was very strict in his surname, was very serious about the four generals.

Where did Zhu Hu and the other four generals dare to slack off, 1510 carefully described the scene at that time again.

When Zhu Hu talked about how the east gate shook the sky, the killing sound was thunderous, how many flags and how many soldiers were superimposed, Sima Yi's eyes rolled from time to time, the more he listened, the more suspicious he became, the situation of the east and west gates was almost the same, they were all at the peak of their troops, Sima Yi almost concluded that this was Guo Jia's trick, and the real weakness was in the east and west gates. Thinking of this, Sima Yi showed a smug smile on his face, and snorted: "Guo Jia, Guo Jia, you are smart for a while, but you are confused for a lifetime, how can such a simple plan escape from my eyes, you just wait and cry." ”

Sima Yi was about to give an order, but Zhu Hu flattered at this time: "My lord is wise, Zhang Lang and Guo Jia are so harmful in the eyes of others, they are not playthings in the hands of adults, just think about Prime Minister Cao Cheng and Zhang Lang have been at war for many years, and there has never been a time when Zhang Lang who was killed like an adult and fled, and he was not able to do things under the hands of adults, which is really a blessing obtained in his last life." ”

Although Sima Yi is rigorous, it doesn't mean that he doesn't accept sycophants, and looking at him, he is still very useful. Think about it, in the battle of Taihang Dao, his reputation spread far and wide, and Zhang Lang, who killed him, lost his armor and fled in embarrassment...... Just as he was proud, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Sima Yi's mind, wait, what? Taihang Road? Sima Yi was frightened into a cold sweat all over his body, only to feel that his whole body was immediately soaked, and the whole person was stunned.

Zhu Hu looked at Sima Yi's expression in a daze, and couldn't help but say cautiously: "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Sima Yi came back to his senses at this time, shouted Luckily, looked at Zhu Hu with approving eyes and said: "Fortunately, General Zhu woke up this time, otherwise the matter is very serious, and after the matter is completed, General Ben will count you as a credit." ”

Where does Zhu Hu know what credit he has made in a daze, but this kind of credit comes easily, you don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy yourself, fight to the death, don't do it in vain, he knelt down smartly to thank him.

Sima Yi wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said luckily: Fortunately, I almost deceived Guo Jia again, no wonder I feel that something is not right in my heart, and I want to deceive me when someone as insidious as Guo Jia would come up with such a simple plan. This kind of trick to deceive the enemy, don't talk about me, even if the generals and strategists with some brains can see it, but they are like Xun You, Xun or others who have been defeated again and again. This Guo Jia is the most hateful, there are heavy troops stationed in the east and west, but he puts on a domineering feeling, as if he is afraid that others will not know that their army will not succeed in the east and west. But it is precisely because of this that they give themselves the illusion that this is just an illusion created by them. So that he can drive the army to kill the east and west, if this is the case, then he will definitely fall for Guo Jia's poisonous plan. Sure enough, Guo Jia, who is worthy of being called a ghost talent, wins by surprise every time, when Wenhe is one of the people he admires the most, he drowned Cai, and even gave Guo Jia's kid a living experience, and then drowned Cai. Could it be that this time he wants to learn my Taihang Dao's art of resisting the enemy, but the truth is virtual, the virtual is real, and the simplest trick is used, but the biggest killing move for the opponent? The more Sima Yi thought about it, the more likely it became, and the more he thought about it, the more his legs trembled, and his heart felt cold and cold.

Hehe, in fact, this can't be blamed on Sima Yi for being suspicious, the contest between real masters is not a gorgeous move, but the most direct and most ** move can hit the nail on the head. Think about Guo Jiagui's number one plan for the Jiangdong Group, and his life has been with Zhang Lang for more than ten years in the southern and northern wars, strategizing and making countless contributions, and he has not been defeated so far, how could such a person come up with such a simple plan? The contest between masters is, to some extent, psychological warfare. Just think about it, an orthodox Yu Fangyuan, a strange soldier to overcome all things, between these two people, who understands psychology better? Promise is undoubtedly a person who likes to surprise soldiers. Because the innate condition of a strange soldier is to understand the psychology of the enemy general, and then make a fatal blow. Undoubtedly, in the psychological contest, Guo Jia has a certain upper hand.

Sima Yi was glad that he had escaped, but he didn't know that the real catastrophe was waiting for him.

Sure enough, it's a thought of heaven and a thought of hell.

Sima Yi took two anxious steps back and forth, raised his head, and decisively ordered: "Zhu Hu, Zu Lang, you lead me 10,000 soldiers, and start to forcibly cut through the south gate, Geng Ji and Jiao Bing, you take 10,000 horses, and give me a fierce impact on the north gate." After entering the city, half of them resisted the enemy army, and half of them went straight to the county government, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other cadres, who wanted to see people in life and corpses in death. ”

Zhu Hu and Zu Lang were now shocked by Sima Sima Yi, worshipping the bodyless and throwing themselves to the ground, as soon as they received the order, they immediately held their heads high and said: "The last general will be ordered." ”

"Hejing, Lijin."

"The end will be." In the strong middle voice, two particularly tall generals came out in response.

"Each of you will lead 3,000 men and horses to contain the east and west gates where the "heavy troops" are stationed, and you must not let the enemy retreat to support. ”

"Order." He Jing and Qi Jin shouted loudly.

Sima Yi's face was hideous, and he said categorically: "You fight for a battle, and the movements will be clean and neat for me." ”

"I don't understand." Several generals shouted in unison, and their momentum was not weaker than the shouts of the soldiers.

Half an hour later, the Cao army brigade slaughtered towards Huaixian.

Zhu Hu and Zu Lang killed at the south gate, Geng Ji and Jiao Bing rushed to the north, and the two sides met only a little resistance at first, and soon killed the retreating Jiangdong army and rushed into the city.

When the generals were secretly praising Sima Yi's clever calculation in their hearts, several dazzling fireworks suddenly burst out in the sky, and at this time, the Jiangdong Army that was ambushed in various positions under the leadership of Qiao Rui and Quan Rou stabbed out in all directions. They occupied a favorable position, the archers were high and down, shooting wildly, and the infantry crowded the streets, alleys, and poor roads, making it difficult for Cao's soldiers to go further.

Another cavalry team of about 300 or so rushed out of the ramp and violently attacked Cao Bing's formation.

Another school of men and horses stabbed straight from the city, pushing a train in their hands, the fire was glittering, the smoke was filled, and they went on a rampage, and soon stopped at the inner side of the city gate, and the raging fire went straight to Changchang, and cut off the route inside and outside the city alive, and divided the enemy army in two. The Jiangdong soldiers dropped the train, then drew their swords, retreated to the corner of the city, and began hand-to-hand combat, so that Cao Bing could not cross the thunder pool for half a step. Although the Jiangdong Army was deficient in terms of troops, it was better than the main general's strategy, and Guo Jia borrowed various means to offset the threat brought by Cao's soldiers in a short period of time, and the two armies were evenly matched.

The so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, on the one hand, the Cao soldiers with high morale, and on the other hand, the Jiangdong Army, which has been trained for a long time and regards death as home, who wins and who loses? For a time no one said anything. In the streets of Huai County, under the eaves, at the corners, by the wells, and in every corner, there are soldiers from both sides tearing and killing. From time to time, the soldier's hand raised his sword, screamed, and blood was sprinkled all over it. More and more corpses were lying around the city, and the bloody sky was getting darker.

The Cao army outside the city fought bloodily in the city tower, but it could not advance half a step, and the Jiangdong army fought for their lives, but still could not defeat the enemy. The sky and the earth where the two armies were killed were dark, and there was no light in the night. It is precisely when the opponent meets the opponent in chess, it is obviously unrealistic for the two sides to want to win or lose in a short period of time.

The battle situation has entered a stalemate, and the white-hot atmosphere makes people have a little more bloodthirsty impulse out of thin air.

This is exactly what Guo Jia wants to see.

In the midst of the chaos, horses' hooves pierced back and forth among the crowd, swords, guns, swords and halberds flashed everywhere, severed arms and stumps flew across the sky, and dark red blood flowed all over the earth. Cao Bing finally smashed the train blocked at the gate of the city with a rushing car, and another passage appeared under the city. Sima Yi can't stop now, if he retreats, Zhu Hu and Zulang's troops will be annihilated by the silkworms, and if he advances, it is clear that the Jiangdong Army is fighting to the death, and if one dies, there will be one less combat effectiveness. Even if it can win, it will be a pyrrhic victory.

In the chaos of the army, Zhuhu horses were interspersed, the entire battle armor was soaked in blood, and the blade was also somewhat blunted. But at this time, he ran into Sun Ce, a little overlord known for his bravery, and the wolf spear came quickly, like lightning and flint, but as soon as he couldn't dodge Zhu Hu in his face, he was stabbed under the horse, and the army panicked and was hacked to death by a soldier of the Jiangdong Army. The head was cut and hung around the waist.

Zhu Hu was killed, but Cao Bing did not panic, and still attacked frantically.

At this time, Cao's troops outside the city finally began to slowly reinforce the battlefield, and the pressure on the Jiangdong Army suddenly increased.

The whole afternoon was spent in the fierce battle between the two armies, and although the Jiangdong Army suffered heavy casualties, the Sima troops also paid an extremely heavy price. 20,000 siege troops, 6,000 containment troops, 10,000 Yu Ban transfer troops, 10,000 guards of Dazhai, plus 10,000 soldiers killed and wounded in the siege of the city in the previous paragraph, now Sima Yi has only about 10,000 mobile troops in his hands. Comparatively speaking, the less than 30,000 soldiers returned by the Jiangdong Army have been sharply reduced to only 20,000. The brutality of this war can be seen in general.

At this time, the sky had slowly darkened, and the remnants of the setting sun added a bit of sadness and gloom. The autumn wind blows, the smell of blood permeates the entire Huai County, the sound of killing is still endless, the golden drum is still deafening, and in this hell on earth, only the most primitive killing and fighting are left.

Sima Yi's face was very ugly, the development of the battle situation had been beyond his expectations, for the exhibition and control of the whole situation, it was obvious that he also lost to Guo Jia + Cheng Yu + (Zhang Lang), seeing that the sky was dark, Sima Yi decided to throw in the 10,000 brigade after a period of spiritual struggle, starting to break through from the east and west gates, and prepare to fight Huaixian at night.

Less than half an hour after Sima Yi gave the order, a scout quickly came to report: a group of about 2,000 soldiers of cavalry was found in the west of the city, each cavalry had bows and arrows on their backs, and the pot was full of arrows. It is estimated that it will take a quarter of an hour for the cavalry to arrive in a whirlwind, and the infantry will arrive in about an hour.

Sima Yi couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly ordered people to mobilize soldiers to prepare to block Cheng Pu's army.

Sima Yi led 10,000 horses in a bit of a hurry, deployed Dazhai, and waited for the battle.

Not long after, a cloud of smoke and dust billowed from the west, and a sound like muffled thunder began to sound in the air, and the dull sound kept hitting everyone's heart.

All the Cao soldiers in Sima Dazhai had already been prepared, waiting for the surprise attack of the Jiangdong cavalry.

However, at this time, the situation suddenly changed, and the ranger did not rush to Dazhai, but went straight in the direction of the city gate.

Sima Yi hurriedly commanded the banner and asked the 10,000 supporting Cao soldiers to prepare in time.

But the speed of the cavalry charge was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it had already rushed to the entrance gate.

Looking at the Jiangdong Army, which was already exhausted, it seemed to be injected with fresh blood at this time, and the fighting spirit that was originally a little decadent shouted again: "Reinforcements are coming, brothers kill." ”
