Chapter 522 Ambush in the Jungle Sure enough, it came in handy
The total strength of the camp placed outside Anyucheng was nearly 50,000, and because Chuyang was pressed by a large army, and the road was opened by the combination of heavy armored cavalry and strong bows and crossbows, the fifteen villages that passed through only lost less than 5,000 men and horses.
At this time, there are still 150,000 soldiers and horses in the main city of Anyu, and after besieging the city, they will go down to the village in 20 miles outside the city, during which they will send a war under the city again and again, but Anyu City does not send a single soldier, and even has no intention of responding to the battle. Since An Yu chose not to fight, Chuyang could only order to prepare enough ladders and catapults to attack the city, but the city was heavily guarded, and before it was close to the city fifty zhang, the men and horses besieging the city were shot back by a burst of arrows.
Three consecutive sieges have failed, Chuyang had no choice but to make 300,000 horses to surround Anyu City, but because the Han army and horses were too many, the consumption of grain and grass was extremely fast, and after ten days of siege, the grain and grass were exhausted, and he had no choice but to temporarily retreat to Shangliang.
When Chuyang just returned to Shangliang City, he received a report that the general of the Chinese army, Zu Zhi, had successfully occupied Peihe, but Xia County, which had almost no soldiers and horses to defend, suddenly had an extra 100,000 troops, and the second general of Qiulu Chengyuan only led 50,000 horses to attack the city, and now he is in a bitter battle!
When Chu Yang heard this, he hurriedly sent a scout horse to find out where the 50,000 army came from. He hurriedly ordered Yueshan: "Take 30,000 cavalry to the battlefield quickly, and give the command to Qiulu and Cheng Yuan's two generals to lure the enemy into depth, so that they will be defeated and defeated, and they must deceive the Wei army ten miles away from Anyu!"
After Yueshan led the troops out of the city, Chu Yang called Zidan again, and strictly instructed him: "You quickly take 10,000 elite soldiers, rush to the junction of Lengzhou and Danzhou, find Zhu Kang's 10,000 horses ambushed there in the dense forest at the junction, and when you deceive the enemy out of the city ten miles away, you will kill him from the rear, and under the two attacks, he can't care about each other!"
Zi Dan's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized, it turned out that the 10,000 soldiers who had been ambushed there in advance by Chu Yang were used like this! Quickly clenched his fists and rushed out.
Yueshan led 30,000 cavalry to rush to the outside of Xia County, the battlefield of swords and swords shouted to kill the sky, and saw the two big flags besieged in the middle of the battlefield, one wrote Cheng, the other wrote Qiu, Yueshan hurriedly led the men and horses to rush in.
Along the way, the phoenix wings and boring flipped up and down to collect human lives, and soon entered the center of the battlefield, and when they arrived in front of Qiu Lu and Cheng Yuan, who were protected in the middle, explained Chu Yang's strategy, Qiu Lu and Cheng Yuan nodded immediately, and led the remaining less than 30,000 people and the 30,000 people who arrived later to fight and retreat.
Seeing the retreat of the Han army, Wang Bu, who was watching the battle from the upper floor of Xia County, hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses to chase after him when he was excited, and even threatened to shout: "But those who take the head of the enemy will be rewarded with 10,000 catties and sealed thousands of households!"
Originally, under the rush of joy, the Wei army was ready to chase to the end and completely annihilate the Han army, but now after Taishou let go, it ignited their morale, and a group of nearly 80,000 people shouted and chased after the direction of the Han army's withdrawal like a hornet out of the nest.
General Cheng Yuansan, who was pretending to flee for his life in front, turned around and asked the colonel, "Has the Wei army caught up?"
After the tail was broken, the centaur said forward: "The Wei army has been chasing!"
Cheng Yuan and the three of them looked at each other and laughed, Yueshan looked at the flying dust behind him for a moment in order to be realistic, and hurriedly led five thousand cavalry to turn the horse, pretending to be the main general Qiu Lu after the break, and then pretending to be defeated again after a battle.
Because of a scene in Yueshan, the chasing Wei soldiers and horses made them think that they could win completely, and the speed of chasing them was even faster.
On the city tower, the far-sighted soldiers and horses are gradually moving away, and now there is no trace of people, only the dust can be vaguely seen, and there are strategists in the city of Xia County who have a bad heart after thinking about it, and quickly raise their hands to dissuade Wang Bu of Xia County's Taishou and said: "Please Taishou quickly Mingjin to withdraw his troops!"
Wang Bu didn't listen to him, but asked leisurely: "Obviously, our army is victorious, why do you call me Mingjin?"
"Now that the army is seven miles away from the city, if the Han army is only pretending to be defeated, in fact, there are ambushes along the way waiting for our army to enter the urn, so that 80,000 people will be in danger!" said the strategist hurriedly.
"Sir was too worried, seeing that Xia County only had fields around him, no mountains, rivers and ravines, and it was not a time when the grain was dense, even if the Han army wanted to set up an ambush, there was nowhere to hide. Wang Bu said with a smile.
"There is no place to hide soldiers in the four places, but there is a dense forest twenty miles southeast of the city, in which 100,000 troops can be hidden, and it is necessary to guard against it!"
Wang Bu hurriedly turned his head and asked the people around him: "There is a forest in the south?"
"But as Mr. Ding Gong said, there is a dense forest, the forest is very large, ordinary people enter it, and it is very easy to get lost in it. The little school next to him hurriedly replied.
After savoring it, Wang Bu hurriedly ordered Mingjin, but it was too late, the army rushed all the way out and could not hear the bell ringing on the city tower, Ding Gong saw it and hurriedly called the fast horse to catch up with the army and stop them.
Among the Wei army chasing the Han army outside, there was also a little bit of brains, and after one of the generals chased the soldiers and horses for nearly ten miles, he also reacted that he was afraid that he had fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he quickly stretched out his hand to stop the rear team, and urgently ordered: "Afraid that the enemy will steal the city, the rear team will become the front team, and quickly return to Xia County!"
When the Wei army reorganized the army and turned around, Zhu Kang and Zidan, who were with 20,000 horses, suddenly killed from the rear, and after blocking the way of the Wei army in the middle of the road, Zhu Kang looked up to the sky and laughed: "This general has been waiting for a long time!"
After that, he and Zidan entered the ten thousand armies, and Cheng Yuan and other generals at the forefront heard the battle in the rear, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to kill back, nearly 90,000 horses and horses on both sides to attack the panicked Wei army, and in a short time, the 80,000 Wei troops who chased out were slashed and killed, and more than 10,000 of them were captured!
Then he returned to the city of Xia County with the military horses, and saw that the people and horses who arrived were already the Han army, and then saw that their number was obviously nearly twice as many as before, all of which proved that Ding Gong's guess was correct.
Wang Bu sat on the ground, extremely regretful that he had not followed his advice earlier.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Bu sighed and was about to open the city gate to surrender, when a soldier stepped forward to dissuade him: "There are still more than 20,000 people in the city, and you can't surrender to the Han if you are too guarded!"
"There are nearly 100,000 enemy horses, but there are few bows and crossbows in the city, how can you defend it?" Wang Bu sighed, if there are enough bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones, 20,000 people are indeed no problem to defend the city, but the soldiers and horses in the city dare to come to support An Yu, most of them are ordinary guns and halberd infantry, among which there are only a thousand bows and crossbows, how to defend it?
One sentence blocked the loyal general, Ding Gong opened his mouth and didn't speak again, so he could only go down to the city tower with the rest of the soldiers to accompany Wang Bu to open the city gate, and welcomed Cheng Yuan and the tens of thousands of troops in.
