Chapter 81: Recuperation
At this time, Li Xingchen and Feng Jie also came to Shuofang Valley with a team of people.
"Meet the Lord!"
Xiong Tonghai and other generals saluted one after another.
"Get up!"
Li Xingchen looked at Shuofang Valley, and said with blazing eyes: "Did all the Lingzhou troops go in?" ”
Xiong Tonghai said: "Back to the lord, all the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou, including Yuan Wanshan, have entered Shuofang Valley. ”
Li Xingchen asked, "Old Feng, how do you think you should force Yuan Wanshan to surrender next?" ”
"It depends on whether Du Feilong and Zhao Si can withstand Yuan Wanshan's pressure, if they can suppress Yuan Wanshan with a thousand soldiers with their geographical advantages and weapons, Xia Guan thinks that before dawn tomorrow, Yuan Wanshan will fall!"
"I have confidence in Du Feilong, but I'm worried about Zhao Si!"
"Please rest assured, although Zhao Si's martial arts are not good, he is definitely a genius who plays the earth-shaking thunder, as long as Yuan Wanshan is not crazy, he will definitely not dare to be tough with Zhao Si's sky-shaking thunder!"
"With the words of the military advisor, I am relieved!"
Li Xingchen nodded, and followed Xiang Xiong Tonghai and said: "Old Xiong, you have to be up to twelve points tonight, if Yuan Wanshan can't break through the defense line of Du Feilong and Zhao Si, he will definitely fight back wildly towards Gukou!" ”
Xiong Tonghai said with a smile: "Lord, although the earth-shaking thunder prepared by the last general is not as much as Zhao Si, it can still be suppressed in the face of a group of frightened bird-like Lingzhou troops!" ”
He didn't brag.
In the past, when he was in the trap camp as a centurion, he used a small number of troops to harden the elite iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, and finally fought a big victory.
Although the quality of the soldiers of these Pingcheng armor soldiers under his command is not as good as that of the soldiers of the trapped camp, under his training, the force value of these armor soldiers has doubled day by day.
"Very good, I'll wait and see here tonight to see if this veteran Yuan who has been on the battlefield for a long time can maintain his demeanor!"
Li Xingchen nodded, and then looked at Shuofang Valley.
In the Shuofang Valley, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with continuous explosions.
Yuan Wanshan's main army and Zhang Kun's vanguard army have already met.
But it was useless, in the face of Zhao Si's earth-shattering thunder and Du Feilong's repeating crossbow, the Lingzhou army had almost no power to fight back.
Although there was a huge disparity in the number of soldiers and horses on both sides, with the advantage of advanced weapons, this battle turned into a dimensionality reduction blow for Chiguoguo.
In order to obtain these powerful weapons, Yuan Wanshan organized ten attacks in a row, and all of them were beaten back without exception.
The one-foot-wide ditch was like an impassable moat.
No matter how ruthless Yuan Wanshan is, he can't take a single step.
After ten failed attacks, the Lingzhou army lost almost more than 1,000 people.
This is still under Li Xingchen's strategy of deterrence.
If it is a war of annihilation, then the Lingzhou army will lose at least half of its people.
"Old general, the Pingcheng armor has earth-shattering thunder and repeating crossbows, and our army can't cross that ditch at all!"
Looking at the soldiers of Pingcheng behind the ditch, Zhang Shun's eyes were full of despair.
Zhang Kun said with a frustrated face: "We have been attacking for so long, haven't you seen it yet?" ”
The grizzled Gao Xian asked, "What seems to be wrong?" ”
"The soldiers of Pingcheng are merciful under their men, every time we attack, they only focus on driving!"
Zhang Kun looked at the Pingcheng armor with a shocked expression: "For example, we are only about one hundred and twenty steps away from them now, but they didn't shoot arrows at us, you must know that those crossbows have a range of one hundred and forty steps!" ”
"What does Vice General Zhang mean...... Are they pushing our army into a corner? ”
When Yuan Wanshan heard this, he finally realized that things were not simple.
"If I'm not mistaken, as long as we don't take the initiative to attack them, they will never take the initiative to attack us!"
Zhang Kun muttered: "Old General Yuan, we can't win this battle, these soldiers under Li Xingchen are comparable to the trapped camp in the past, Lu Ben's Wuzhou army lost unjustly!" ”
His voice had just fallen.
A herald rode over on his horse, full of panic and said: "Old General Yuan, the big thing is not good, Li Xingchen personally led two thousand men and horses, and the valley mouth has been sealed!" ”
"What?"
Yuan Wanshan suddenly got up, with a look of disbelief on his face.
It's over, it's all over the calf!
There were only 1,000 Pingcheng soldiers in Shuofang Valley, and they tossed their Lingzhou army so badly.
Now there are two thousand more people outside the valley, and even the culprit Li Xingchen has come.
How the hell is this fighting, I'm afraid that my little Lingzhou army is not enough for those earth-shattering thunderbolts.
The herald continued: "Li Xingchen bluntly said that as long as the old general is willing to lead the army to surrender, he will never hurt the Lingzhou army alone!" ”
When Zhang Shun heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's not good, Shuofang Valley is very likely to be a trap set by Li Xingchen, just to trap our Lingzhou army!" ”
"Quick...... Dig open a granary and see if there's any grain in it! ”
Yuan Wanshan woke up like a dream and hurriedly ordered.
Several Lingzhou soldiers left in response.
It didn't take long for them to come back with a handful of straw in their hands: "General Qiqi, those granaries are full of straw!" ”
"Damn, damn Li Xingchen actually set up such a trick!"
Yuan Wanshan gritted his teeth and scolded, then looked at Gao Xian and asked, "Gao Jian Jun, where is Cai Jing now?" ”
Gao Xian was stunned and said: "Before Cai Jing set out on the expedition, he asked me to put him in a farmhouse to recuperate......
"From this point of view, Cai Jingyou is ninety percent deliberately defrauded, falsely claiming that there are 100,000 stones of grain and grass in Shuofang Valley, just to lure our army to come!"
Yuan Wanshan closed his eyes in pain.
"Yes...... But I saw Cai Jing being tortured with a cane with my own eyes, and he can't fake it......"
Gao Xian also wanted to defend himself.
But Zhang Shun interrupted directly.
"Gao Jian Jun, haven't you seen Sun Tzu's Art of War? Don't you know if there's a bitter meat plan? ”
"What? Help? ”
Gao Xian's words were like being struck by lightning.
"Bitter meat plan - deception plan - lure army deep plan!"
Yuan Wanshan said bitterly: "This set of combinations is full of buckles, which makes people unguardable, Li Xingchen is really not simple!" ”
As a battle-hardened veteran.
He never dreamed that he would fold it in the hands of a young man who was only twenty years old.
In the battle of Shuofang Valley, he had almost no power to fight back.
What's even more odious is that there is no food and grass here, no reinforcements, and there is no way to break through.
"Old General, what should we do now?"
Zhang Shun looked at the valley with palpitations: "Li Xingchen is scheming, if he wants to besiege us, he will never give us a chance." ”
Zhang Kun pondered for a moment, and said bluntly: "According to the last general's opinion, we can neither step through the ditch in front of us, nor can we withdraw from Shuofang Valley, under the suppression of Li Xingchen's weapons, forcibly breaking through will only cause unnecessary casualties, it is better for us to lower Li Xingchen!" ”
