Chapter 6: The Battle of Changlu (1)
Suddenly, I heard a report from the scout: "General Hui, Zhang Lang's army is 100,000 and 3,000 men, of which 13,000 men and horses are Fei County's surrendered army, and they are now camped fifteen miles outside the city. ”
Zhu Ci stood up and shouted, "Don't make any noise." Looking at the sky, Zhu Ci thought about it and walked to the center of the lobby, and suddenly said: "Zhang Lang's army, there are many people, and it is not suitable to fight hard." ”
A general sitting on a side chair stood up, clenched his fists and said to Zhu Ci: "What the general said is very true, in this case, how should our army meet the enemy?" ”
"Raid the camp!" Zhu Ci said these two words coldly. Full of surprise! The voices of discussion that had just subsided became noisy again.
The sky is getting dark, but the lights are still bright in Zhang Lang's village, and Guo Jia and Pang Tong are discussing with Zhang Lang about the enemy's strategy. But he suddenly heard a scout from outside the tent to report: "Report to the lord, General Huang Gai has led 50,000 troops to Rencheng." ”
After the scout left, Zhang Langcai continued: "What do you two think about conquering Changlu? Is there a way to retreat from the enemy? ”
Both of them looked confident, and Zhang Lang, who was still embarrassed about this matter during the day, also thought of a corresponding strategy at this time, which was a lot easier.
"Now that the lord has made a decision, let's ask the lord to tell him." Guo Jia looked at Zhang Lang with a smile.
"Hahaha...... Good Guo Fengxiao. Yes, I have an idea! That depends on whether Zhu Ci has the guts. Zhang Lang said.
"What did the lord say?" Pang Tongjian was similar to what he thought. He asked.
"I expect Zhu Ci to come to attack the village tonight!" Zhang Lang frowned.
Pang Tong walked in front of Zhang Lang: "My subordinates also have this idea, our army is far superior to Zhu Ci in terms of strength, if he can't defend the city, it will be a little troublesome, but Zhu Ci has already released his words to fight to the death with our army." As long as he is out of Changlu, Zhu Ci is not the opponent of our army, and if he wants to fight, he must first disturb the morale of our army before he can win. Therefore, his subordinates also expected him to attack the village tonight. However, his subordinates thought that as long as Zhu Ci attacked the camp, then Changlu would be victorious in the first battle! "Still with an attitude of invincibility.
"Since this is the case, we might as well ......" Guo Jia was also accustomed to Pang Tong's attitude towards the world, and stepped forward to answer.
In Zhang Lang's big tent, the sound of laughter of the three of them was heard from time to time. A conspiracy is brewing.
A moment later, Guo Jia and Pang Tong immediately summoned all the generals in the army to discuss matters in Zhang Lang's big tent!
"Where is Huang Xu?"
"The last general!" Huang Xu's figure stood in the queue.
"You lead the army on the left to expand to the left, hidden! Wait for my order to move closer to the Chinese army Dazhai! ”
"The last will be ordered!"
"Where is Sun Ce?"
"The last general!"
"You lead the army on the right to expand to the right, hidden! Wait for my order to move closer to the Chinese army Dazhai! ”
"The last will be ordered!"
Zhang Lang stood up and walked in front of the two: "Two generals, you must return to Dazhai in the shortest possible time, and you must not let go of a Cao army." Otherwise, Changlu will be difficult to attack! ”
The two said in unison: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
Zhang Lang's army quickly expanded outward, forming a huge encirclement, just waiting for Zhu Ci to attack the camp, he encircled and suppressed it here, and caught turtles in an urn!
Late at night, Zhu Ci ordered the first lieutenant in the city to take Niu Xian to lead 5,000 men and horses to Zhanglang Dazhai to attack the camp.
Along the way, I saw Zhang Lang's army loose and lazy, and one by one he became sleepy. When it was almost time, Niu Xiancai led the army to move cautiously towards the Jiangdong Army Dazhai.
Niu Xian himself also felt strange to write, and along the way, although he saw many Jiangdong soldiers guarding, none of them found any trace of these 5,000 men and horses. I was very relieved.
After nearly an hour of groping and sneaking, Niu Xiancai broke through the defenses and entered the Dazhai, and scattered the soldiers to find the location of the Jiangdong Army granary. wants to burn the grain and grass of the Jiangdong Army.
The 5,000 men and horses were divided into five roads, and a team of 1,000 people was scattered into five roads to touch deeper in Dazhai.
In this regard, Zhang Lang had already prepared, the Black Eagle Guard was a master of this business, the Black Eagle Guard hidden in the woods, grass, trees, and haystacks, but when he saw that Cao Jun was alone, he invisibly confirmed their lives.
The Eagle Guard was merciless, and all the beckons were greeted to the deadly place, and after half an hour as agreed, several groups of men and horses returned to the place where they began to disperse.
In the dead of night, Niu Xian found that there were many fewer people and horses, and at least a thousand people were no longer in the queue. ”
Niu Xian thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Go to the grain and grass accumulation area, and evacuate after lighting the fire." ”
Although it is strange that the number of people is much less for no reason, the most important thing at the moment is to burn the grain and grass of the Jiangdong Army, and Niu Xian can't take care of it so much. Follow the soldier to the place where the grain and grass are.
After walking through the woods for a while, Niu Xian felt that something was wrong, why was he the only one who said that he had seen the location of the grain and grass, but his companion had not. The other soldiers in the queue were questioned.
The rest of the soldiers said they didn't know, and they hadn't seen grain or grass. Niu Xian's heart suddenly emptied, as if something had fallen, and said in a deep voice: "It's not good, we have been tricked." ”
Just when Niu Xian knew that he had been hit, he and his troops had been led into the envelope of Zhang Lang's army by Cao Jun, played by Eagle Guard. After a bright green light flashed in the sky, the surrounding Jiangdong army quickly moved closer to Dazhai.
Niu Xian panicked, but he didn't lose his mind, and immediately organized soldiers to counterattack, but unfortunately, 100,000 troops against 5,000 people, even if Zhang Lang's army didn't use weapons, one person and one spit could drown Niu Xian and his subordinates.
In the battle, Niu Xian and his subordinates captured 2,000 men and horses by overwhelming their surnames, and the rest of the recalcitrant rebels were all revenants under the sword.
Zhang Lang did not kill Niu Xian, but led him to the big tent, and after inquiry, he learned that Zhu Ci sent him to burn his own grain and grass and disturb the morale of the army. But the strange thing is that Zhang Lang was not angry because of Zhu Ci's despicable actions, but was a little excited.
As soon as Niu Xian was captured, Pang Tong ordered the soldiers to collect dry firewood and other items nearby. Niu Xian is also loyal, not so much the center as stubborn, Zhang Lang didn't bother to talk to him, seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, he dragged him out of the tent and cut it down.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lang ordered 3,000 soldiers to change into Cao Jun's clothes, and Sun Ce put on Niu Xian's robes. On top of a clearing, light up the dry firewood and other things that the soldiers had collected. Ignite the flames. The fire that soars to the sky shines far away.
And Zhu Ci, who was on the city wall of Changlu, naturally saw this scene, and said excitedly to himself: "It's successful." Immediately, all the generals in Changlu City were summoned for urgent deliberations.
