Chapter XXVII; Three thousand can be used to break thirty thousand
The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant, and said that Shan Shixiong was inseparable from the enemy general, but suddenly heard the sound of Mingjin from behind, asking him to withdraw from the formation, and in desperation, he had to sell a flaw and retreat, but the enemy general Xun Daorong still did not give up, and chased after him, his axe was about to be used, how could he easily indulge the enemy to leave.
Just when he was about to catch up with Shan Shixiong, Chang Gong Yao on the city tower jumped down and blocked in front of him.
Xun Daorong suddenly saw a person descending from the sky, hurriedly grabbed the reins, and looked at it, but it was a doll in his twenties, and he had never put it on, so he immediately shouted; "Where did you come from, what are you stopping me from? There are no eyes on the battlefield, so don't hurry up and walk away, so as not to lose your life. ”
Changgong Yao didn't expect that although this Xun Daorong was the general of the enemy army, his heart was not bad, Changgong Haruka originally intended to kill him, but now after listening to his words, he changed his mind again.
However, for Xun Daorong's exhortation, Changgong Yao not only did not listen, but smiled slightly; "Your heart is not bad, so I will spare your life and go back to the battle."
The tone was very flat, but it was crazy, and with his smiling face, it looked extraordinarily pretentious.
Xun Daorong saw that this kid who suddenly appeared not only did not listen to the advice, but instead spoke wildly, and immediately scolded; "Good boy, in front of the two armies, is the place where you can talk nonsense." He really didn't expect that the young man who suddenly appeared in the formation would be so arrogant, and immediately shouted loudly at the Qingyang King on the city tower; "King Qingyang, don't you have a general under your account? Send a doll here to stall for time. ”
He has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he really disdains to do it to a doll in his twenties.
King Qingyang didn't answer when he heard this, but looked at the two people facing each other on the city tower with a smile, he also wanted to see if this Chang Gong Yao was blowing nonsense, or if he really had the ability. If Changgong Yao can really deal with this Xun Daorong, then he will make a lot of money this time, not only a generalissimo, but also a fierce general, and there is no such a good deal in the world.
Changgong Yao saw that this reckless general did not take himself to heart, and knew that if he didn't show his hand today, he was afraid that he would not retreat obediently.
So he suddenly lifted the momentum around his body, and a gust of wind was set off between the surging true qi, which shook the war horse under Xun Daorong's seat and neighed, and he took a few steps back.
This sudden situation also caught Xun Daorong a little off guard, the reins were tightened, and after stabilizing his figure, he locked his eyes, looked at Chang Gong Yao in front of him, and sighed in his heart; "It's really better than blue, the internal force that this young man in front of him has erupted from, and he is only higher than himself, not low, and he has been an official for many years, which is really narrow."
He actually knew that Changgong Yao knew martial arts, after all, he dared to come to the front of the two armies, he didn't think that this young man was a fool, or just by guts, but he didn't expect this young man's martial arts to be so high, and at this moment, he finally put away his contempt.
But instead of attacking immediately, he said; "Okay, today is the general's eyes, but since it is a battle in front of the army, then you will go and change your cloak to meet the battle again, and it will save others from saying that this general is not victorious."
Xun Daorong's thoughts, naturally he couldn't hide it from Chang Gong Yao, and he fought a few battles in a row, at this time he was already sleepy, so it was said that he was giving Chang Gong Yao time to prepare, but it was better to say that he was delaying time and letting himself rest and rest.
However, Changgong Yao didn't break it, but nodded with a smile; "Okay, then let's go back to the camp, and in three hours, we will fight again."
With that, the two of them retreated.
When the people on the city tower saw that the two were just chatting with each other for a while, they scattered to avoid the battle, but they all did not know why, and many people secretly thought in their hearts; "Is it that Changgong Haruka is a person who can only talk rhetorically, and has no real talent and learning, so he doesn't dare to fight the enemy."
"But why did he retreat, and so did the enemy?"
"Could it be that his tongue is like a sword, he can speak well, and he can retreat from the enemy with his three-inch tongue?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Chang Gong Yao returned to the top of the city tower, and King Qingyang asked with a smile; "Little General, why are you doing this? Why not retreat without a fight? ”
Although King Qingyang was also puzzled, he didn't show it as obvious as others, after all, he was a scheming person, as stable as an old dog.
Hearing King Qingyang's question, Changgong Yao replied with a smile; "Lord Yu, the reason why I retreated is to fight again after meeting with the enemy for three hours."
Although this Qingyang King called him a little general, he did not call himself the last general, although this Qingyang King was kind on the surface, he felt a little bad.
"I see!" King Qingyang nodded with a smile and continued; "The enemy general has been in a few battles, presumably at this moment, he is already cowardly, and the little general does not take advantage of the danger of others, and this righteousness is also! The enemy raised the momentum and returned, and the little general still dared to fight, this brave general, the little general is a brave general, but not a wise general. ”
Changgong Yao heard the words, hugged his fists and said politely; "Please also ask the prince to give advice." In fact, Changgong Yao knew what King Qingyang was going to say next, but it was not easy to refute his face when he first came to work.
King Qingyang saw that he was puzzled and asked, and said with a smile; "The unwiseness of the little general lies in giving the enemy a chance to breathe, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and giving the enemy a chance is to dig his own grave, and in the future, he must take advantage of his illness and ask for his life."
King Qingyang is worthy of being a prince, although he has an educational tone, these words are said thoroughly, you must not be merciful in the face of the enemy, and being merciful to the enemy is cruel to yourself, this sentence is by no means just talking.
However, although he agrees with the views of King Qingyang, he Changgong Yao is the kind of person who has courage and no strategy.
After King Qingyang finished speaking, Chang Gong Yao first saluted him, and then said; "Thank you for the teachings of the prince, but there is another reason why I did not fight with the enemy just now."
"Oh, is there a reason else?"
King Qingyang frowned slightly, his face was a little displeased, thinking that Changgong Yao did not agree with what he said, and wanted to make excuses for himself.
Although he heard the dissatisfaction in King Qingyang's tone, Changgong Haruka ignored his thoughts and continued; "Yes, just now I suddenly felt that it is better to retreat one enemy than to retreat ten thousand enemies, so I will give the enemy three hours."
His remarks successfully aroused the interest of all those present.
What does it mean that it is better to retreat from the enemy of one than to retreat from the enemy of ten thousand? Naturally, they understand what that means.
If Haruka Changgong can really come up with a good strategy to break the enemy at this moment, it is indeed much more meaningful than defeating the enemy general alone.
Retiring one person is called brave, retiring 10,000 people is called strategy, courage will be easy to obtain, and strategists are hard to find.
King Qingyang was also intrigued by this sentence and asked; "Then how do you retreat from the enemy of ten thousand?"
Haruka Tonomiya smiled slightly; "Lord Wang, if you can give me 3,000 troops, within an hour, I will definitely be able to make the enemy army under the city retreat."
Hearing Chang Gong Yao's wild words, before King Qingyang spoke, the generals on the side couldn't listen anymore,
"It's nonsense, you think you are the god of war, but there are 30,000 troops under the city, and you want to break the enemy with 3,000, it's really wishful thinking."
"Yes, my lord, don't promise him, this kid has never been on the battlefield, but he is not ashamed to speak out here, it is simply unreasonable,"
“……”
They all thought that Changgong Yao was arrogant and ignorant, and they all spoke out to remind King Qingyang not to trust him.
There are 30,000 troops under the city, 3,000 or 30,000, and only people like Changgong Yao who have not been in battle can think of it, which of them is not experienced in a hundred battles, but which of them dares to make such a bold statement, this kid really regards himself as a soldier immortal, a soldier saint.
Even Changgong Biannan felt that Changgong Yao's words were a bit excessive, and he didn't fight less battles with less victories, but it was under the favorable time, place and people, so that this effect was achieved, this time it was not a piece of occupation, and if you want to fight ten with one, how is it possible?
Therefore, Changgong Biannan also hurriedly spoke; "Lord Wang, the foolish brother is young and ignorant, has not been in battle, does not know military affairs and even nonsense, I hope the prince will not be like him."
King Qingyang saw that Changgong Bian Nan also said this, and said with a slight smile; "What good strategy does the general have to help the lone king break the enemy?"
In fact, he didn't believe in Chang Gong Yao at all, and the reason why he let him come was so that at this moment, he could give Chang Gong Bian Nan the opportunity to break the enemy and establish meritorious deeds. In this way, the generals in the camp had nothing to say, after all, Changgong Biannan had to do it as a last resort to save his younger brother, rather than deliberately competing with the generals.
But in fact, Changgong Yao is not such an idea, the reason why he is arrogant and arrogant, saying that he can break the enemy's axe method before, and now he is saying that he can break 30,000 with 3,000, all in order to give Changgong Biannan a chance to make meritorious contributions and not be disgusted by the generals.
Of course, what he said was within his ability, otherwise he wouldn't be so reckless.
Changgong Biannan saw that the matter had come to this, so he had to take it hard and promise to try to break the enemy within three hours.
Three hours is still a long time, everyone scattered as birds and beasts, so there were only two brothers Changgong Biannan and Changgong Yao left on the city tower, looking at the imperial army not far away, Changgong Biannan sighed and said; "Ah Yao, you have made me miserable this time."
He didn't blame Chang Gong Yao, he also knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold under the account of King Qingyang, he had to prove himself with his achievements, otherwise even if King Qingyang was willing to give him the position of marshal, he would not be able to sit still.
Haruka Changgong shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile; "Brother, you have wronged me a little, obviously I said that I can use 3,000 to break 30,000, you don't believe it, blame me!"
"Then tell me, how to break 30,000 or so?"
Changgong Biannan still trusts this younger brother very much, after all, when he fought with Tiele Shatuo in the northern Xinjiang, Changgong Yao made the first contribution, and at this moment he said that it is not impossible to break 30,000 or 30,000.
"Brother, if you go to challenge the enemy camp, will you bring tens of thousands of troops with you?" Chang Gong Yao asked.
"Of course not!" Tonomiya Biannan replied without hesitation.
If the general challenged, he must want to use the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole, and since it is to lead the snake out of the hole, the army should not press forward, but should bring thousands of soldiers and armor to lure the enemy deep, and then gather and annihilate it, and even challenge it alone.
This time Xun Daorong came to challenge, although the report said that there were tens of thousands of his soldiers and horses stationed thirty miles away, but he personally came with 30,000 troops, which was really strange.
Then there are only two possibilities, either this person does not know how to use soldiers, or this person is a master soldier.
And combined with his observation of Xun Daorong before today's battle, Chang Gong Yao already knew what kind of person this person was.
"Brother, this man is indeed well versed in the way of using soldiers, but I guess that most of his virtual and real are false, and the big camp thirty miles away is an empty camp."
"Why do you think so?" Changgong Biannan asked, a little puzzled.
Haruka Tonomiya explained; "This matter can be analyzed from two aspects, first, for example, among the princes of the seven towns today, there are as many as five towns, and the soldiers and horses in the world that are controlled by the imperial court are only three or four hundred thousand, except for the soldiers and horses required to garrison in various places, the imperial court can only mobilize about 2.78 million, and this time Xun Daorong claims to have an army of 100,000, you can imagine how much water there is. Second, he camped thirty miles away, but he led an army of 30,000 to press forward, which was nothing more than a bluff, among the princes of the world, only Qingyang and Jinyang were the most powerful, and it was difficult to defeat for a while. Therefore, he just wants to make the Qingyang Army dare not act rashly before the reality is unknown, so as to achieve the effect of delaying time. After the other armies quickly quelled the rebellion, they then turned their guns on Qingyang, and then the Qingyang army would be defeated. ”
"It's really a good calculation." Changgong Bian Nan nodded, obviously agreeing with Changgong Haruka's words, and then he asked again; "So what do we do now?"
After asking this sentence, a wry smile appeared on Changgong Biannan's face, obviously he was the general, but unconsciously, he became more and more dependent on this younger brother.
Changgong Yao said the plan in his heart, "Robbing the camp, I have already inquired when I came, Xun Daorong this time in order to make others believe that he has an army of 100,000, so he brought countless grain and grass baggage, and stationed them in his camp thirty miles away, if he leads three thousand elite cavalry to bypass the army in front and go straight to his grain and grass camp, he will destroy all the baggage, and then his 30,000 army will be self-defeating." ”
This trick is called the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, since ancient times, the army to requisition, the most important thing is the grain and grass, once the grain is cut off, the army must be disheartened, into a plate of loose sand, this situation, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu come, there is no way.
Even Jiang Taigong's magic is still trapped by food and grass, not to mention people.
"Okay, in that case, let's go and meet the King of Qingyang."
Changgong Bian Nan listened to Changgong Yao's strategy, and was overjoyed, he also felt that this method was feasible.
The two brothers came to the big tent of King Qingyang, and Changgong Yao, the general of Changgong Biannan, said what Changgong Yao had just said to him,
After hearing this, the king of Qingyang was overjoyed; "Okay, then the lonely king will give you 3,000 elite soldiers, no, give you 10,000, and as for the cooperation of other generals, they will all be allowed."
Seeing this, Changgong Bian Nan thanked himself, but he only needed 3,000 troops, after all, Haikou had already boasted, if he led more troops, even if he won, he would not be able to achieve the effect he wanted.
"Lord Wang, there will be something to say in the end." Just as Changgong Biannan was preparing to arrange the troops, a general under the tent spoke.
Seeing this, King Qingyang frowned slightly, "Say!" ”
Although he was displeased, King Qingyang also wanted to see what the generals in the camp thought about this matter, after all, what Changgong Bian Nan said was only in words, and it was related to the lives of three thousand soldiers, so he had to be cautious.
What's more, he wants Changgong Biannan to make contributions, if he loses the first battle, then Shuai Yin will not dare to give Changgong Biannan, not to mention that everyone is not convinced, even he has to question it.
Listen to the general continue; "If it is not for the last general to question the ability of the general, whether what the general said is feasible or not is not feasible for the time being, let's just say that now that the 30,000 troops of the imperial court are in front of the pass, how can we let the 3,000 spirit cavalry go around without knowing it?"
Hearing this, King Qingyang also looked at Changgong Biannan, in fact, he also had this question.
Changgong Bian Nan naturally thought of these questions a long time ago and said; "Back to the prince, the general has already thought about this matter, but it is not difficult for a general to lead eight thousand troops to charge into battle, and while there is chaos, it is not difficult for three thousand elite horsemen to get out."
After speaking, Changgong Bian Nan did not add; "Another point, send 8,000 troops to charge into battle, if the enemy does not lure the enemy into the plan, it proves that they are indeed bluffing, then the prince can give an order, the whole army will pour out of the nest, and eat all the 30,000 enemy troops."
After listening to Changgong Biannan's words, all the generals nodded one after another, indeed this is the best way at present, even the questioning general did not say anything more.
King Qingyang had already seen the attitude of everyone, so he stood up from his position and said loudly; "Okay, then do as the general says, and the generals will do their best to cooperate with the general."
King Qingyang said, and all the generals in the tent shouted "yes" in unison.
Then, Changgong Biannan began to arrange troops, and after ordering the troops, when the enemy smoke rose, the covering army was killed.
