Chapter 390: Li Tiezhu's scheming leader
Follow Zhang Liao's instructions. The dragoon warriors handed over all the hands hanging from their waists to throw thunder, gathered together, and then were sent outside the Yuan Shu camp. Here, there is a group of warriors with superior arm strength, who will concentrate and project the Yuan Shu army in the camp.
"Ready, go!" ordered someone in a deep voice in the darkness.
After hearing the order, the hundreds of throwers immediately threw out the "zizi" smoking thunderbolt in their hands, and then immediately bent down and turned around and took out the second thunderbolt from the basket behind them.
"Boom...... Boom!" The thunderbolt that fell from Yuan Shu's camp suddenly exploded, and the violent sound spread rapidly to all sides along with the flickering firelight.
Yuan Shu, who was already asleep, was startled by the huge explosion of thunder, and suddenly jumped up from the marching bed. "The guards are coming to protect the lord in front of the account!" Yuan Shu shrank inside the marching tent and shouted loudly outside.
Ji Ling, who came out first, rushed into Yuan Shu's big tent like a gust of wind, and reported anxiously: "Lord Qiqi, a large number of soldiers from the state have been found outside the camp, suspected to be dragoons, and they are intensively throwing thunderbolts into the camp!"
"Hurry, hurry! Passing on my command, the army immediately set up camp and marched south overnight, so as not to be surrounded by the state army. The panicked Yuan Shukou gave an order that Ji Ling looked down on. Night marching has always been taboo for soldiers, not to mention that it is necessary to cross the mountains, and now the specific situation of the state army outside the camp is not clear, so it is necessary to rashly start the camp, this is not a chaotic life or what?
Ji Ling wanted to step forward to explain a few words, but found that Yuan Shu had already started to be busy dressing and cloaking, and he didn't think about staying here at all. Ji Ling had no choice but to sigh in his heart, turned around and went out of the camp to convey Yuan Shu's order.
Round after round of thunderous explosions continued to sound, scaring the Yuan army in the camp to the point that no one dared to come out to fight with the Bingzhou army. At this moment, the order to withdraw the troops issued by Yuan Shu, the governor of the state, came, so the Yuan army, which had no backbone, hurriedly packed up their things and fled to the mountains in the south.
With the soldiers who took the lead in retreating, the Danyang soldiers under Yuan Shu scattered in a hurry, unable to muster any faith in combat resistance.
Seeing that the Danyang soldiers began to flee, Zhang Liao immediately ordered the dragoons to besiege Yuan Shu's camp, and shouted loudly: "Yuan Shu has fled, those who lay down their weapons will not be killed!" The dragoons then followed Zhang Liao and shouted, spreading very quickly and rumors in the night.
Many of the Yuan troops who temporarily retreated ran in the wrong direction in the chaos, and they actually plunged into the side of the dragoons waiting outside the camp gate, and were naturally arrested.
Zhang Liao was not in a hurry to launch an attack on Yuan Shu's army, but let the throwers continue to pump cold and drop thunderbolts on Yuan's army's camp, with the purpose of continuing to frighten and disrupt Yuan Shu's troops.
After nearly an hour of tossing and making trouble, Yuan Shu hurriedly drilled into the dark Taihang Mountain with his soldiers who could run, and those who ran slowly and were surrounded by Zhang Liao naturally became the turtle in the urn. Since Yuan Shu didn't want them anymore, these Danyang soldiers were willing to be prisoners of the state.
Speaking of which, the combat power of these Danyang soldiers is not low, as long as someone organizes and commands effectively, they can compete with Zhang Liao's dragoon army. But Yuan Shu only cared about running away by himself, and Zhang Liao specially took the hundreds of Danyang wounded soldiers who were abandoned by Yuan Shu under Jiguan earlier, and let these wounded soldiers who had been treated by Bingzhou shout, which could naturally deceive people's hearts.
When it was dawn, Zhang Liao asked people to count the harvest of this farewell to Yuan Shu, which made him grin for a long time. 4,000 Danyang soldiers were captured, and Yuan Jun was too late to take away a large amount of grain and grass in a panic. As for the losses of the dragoons, apart from a few rounds of thunderbolts thrown out, there were basically no other losses.
Zhang Liao has been fighting for ten years, and he likes more and more ways to fight with less blood and more harvest. Zhao Xing used to often teach his generals that everyone was Han Chinese, and as a last resort, why bother not to die. Now Zhang Liao gradually realized the meaning of Zhao Xing's words - the purpose of the battle is not to destroy the enemy, but to eliminate the war, especially the internal struggle of the Han people......
Although Zhao Xing once said that in the internal struggle of the Han people, if you can not use the knife, then try not to use the knife, but he also said to the little tigers of the Crouching Tiger Youth Class that for foreigners who only know aggression and killing like wolves, as long as they dare to come, then they will all pile up into a landscape!
Li Tiezhu, who has always regarded Zhao Xing's words as an oracle, was eager to catch the big leader of the Xianbei people with his own hands when he led the army south this time, and then cut off the head of the leader and give it to the lord to make a night pot. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid that you can't do it, you are afraid that you can't think of it. Li Tiezhu pondered how to capture the leader alive every day, and one day he really came up with a bold plan, so he immediately sent the shadow to Wuyuan to ask Xu Huang for instructions.
The leader of the Xianbei people, the reason why it is difficult to catch, is that they ride horses, can gallop in the boundless desert at will, and there are a large number of clansmen around them to guard. However, there is no absolute in the world, if the Xianbei people enter the city, they will naturally have to dismount, and when the time comes, they will send a large army to block the four gates, wouldn't they be able to catch the leader?
According to the information currently available, the Xianbei people were fooled this time. Kui Tou thought that Xingshi would move south and merge with the state, and he could have a good harvest, but unfortunately he not only ate a closed door in Linwo, but was also ruthlessly repaired by Wu Anguo in Guangmu. Now he was like an angry bull, but he could not find a person to vent his anger, so he had to flow from one city to another, and he was mad at the tall and strong walls.
Li Tiezhu's suggestion to Xu Huang was: Wuyuan City pretended to be insufficient in defense, let the original Xianbei people taken in by the Huangxuan tribe and the Southern Xiongnu tribe pretend to rebel, deliberately give up Wuyuan City in the chaos, and leave some tatters for the Kuitou, so that the Kuitou felt that occupying the Wuyuan was to make a fortune, and then concentrated a force of Woye, Guangmu and Huchuquan, and quickly besieged the Xianbei people who entered the city, and then waited for Hu Che'er, who was going south, to lead the army to return to the north, and kill all the Xianbei people in the city in one fell swoop!
Li Tiezhu's strategy is a typical reverse thinking. The Xianbei people only knew that the advantage of the Han people was that they were cowering inside the city and defending with the help of tall city walls, so once the city was lost, they would take it for granted that they could use the city as a stronghold to resist the counterattack of the Han people outside the city with the help of the tall city walls. As everyone knows, the prerequisite for holding the city is that the logistics supply must be sufficient, otherwise it will only trap the city.
The Xianbei people must not have much to bring with them when they went south, so the Han people dared to rely on the city to hold on and stay up until the end to boil the Xianbei people away. But if the two sides turn upside down, the situation will develop in a different way. As long as Li Tiezhu, Wu Anguo and others led the army to besiege Wuyuan City and prevent the Xianbei people from breaking through, the longer the time drags on, the greater the possibility of the leader being captured alive.
