Chapter 143: Battle in the Empty City (2)

Zhang Liang was sweating profusely and couldn't understand at all: "Big ...... What do you mean, my lord? ”

"To put it simply, why do you like gambling? Is it because it's purely for winning? ”

"Not all, it's the moment when everyone has a showdown......"

"That's right! That's what it means. Just like fishing, when the fish is hooked, the moment you lift the rod is the most exciting, and the pursuit is also the feeling of that moment. Did you catch it? What did you catch? Our opponents will now wonder what the hell is in the county? Is it a trap or an empty city plan. The more he thinks about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and then he starts to analyze it as he thinks he's smart. And the few flaws I left him must be found by careful analysis. Of course, there is a precedent before that. ”

"What conditions."

"He's got to be smart. Or think you're smart enough. Ouyang smiled: "I believe that he is at least not stupid, or at least he thinks that he is not stupid." ”

As Ouyang thought, Li Huan was struggling. The context in which this is happening is clear. He came so wildly, in order to catch the enemy by surprise, once he took the county, the army could go straight to the Song realm. It is very wrong to retreat without knowing the enemy's situation, give the opponent time to breathe, and be sorry for the court and sorry for yourself. Therefore, it is necessary to find out how many troops there are in the county, and it must be figured out as soon as possible, otherwise once the reinforcements come up, or the army is organized to defend it, the price of taking the county will be great. Li Huan is confident that with his two thousand people, he can take down 5,000 Song forbidden troops.

But isn't it a trap?

Li Huan jumped into the second trap and began to analyze. The analysis is as follows: Assuming that there are really a large number of Song troops in Huanxian County, then there are several places where the Song army does not conform to common sense. First, the use of firearms is abrupt, if the enemy closes the city gates, he can use mines and artillery to stun the first wave of attacking troops, and then open the city gates, the cavalry will charge, and he can only cover the retreat. However, the enemy buried mines in the open and artillery was also placed outside the firing range, which was very unreasonable to show off the strength and not achieve the results it deserved.

Second, after a night of tossing and turning by artillery, the enemy must know that he has not rested well on his side. When he retreated ten miles back, he did not send troops to pursue or harass him, which was a great violation of military convention and very unreasonable.

Third, the comparison of individual soldiers' strength, because armor is good, weapons are good, training is good, food is good. One proton army can top five Song forbidden armies, which is the common understanding of the two sides in the years of war. Exchange identities against the proton army, the first choice must be to stick to the city, do not show strength, give the enemy maximum damage, and then take advantage of the enemy's exhaustion, the whole army counterattacks, and can even destroy the enemy. But the other party did not do this, but put an empty city.

Fourth: If the opponent's strength is to surpass his own, there is no enterprising spirit at all, it is too abnormal. You have to know how big a blow to the morale of Western Xia is to break the Proton Army? How much did it boost the morale of the Song army? It is not impossible for the general of the garrison to be promoted by two ranks, and all he needs is to take the soldiers to work for their lives......

Abnormal is too abnormal. After Li Huan finished speaking, he analyzed himself, and several lieutenants nodded again and again. Li Huan said: "Since you are running thousands of miles, you don't know the reality of the enemy and retreat, isn't it ridiculous and generous?" Xiao Yin, led a hundred people to take the county directly, and controlled the city gate after entering. Wang Dashui led 100 people to respond to the left wing, and Jin Shou led 100 people to respond to the right wing. I brought my own army to pick up in the middle. ”

"Yes!"

"It's coming!" Looking at the city wall, I saw the Western Xia army leading the horses in sight, and then divided into four and slowly moved forward. The front team walked a little further and then stopped. It wasn't until the left and right sides spread out to the rear that the front army began to mount. At the moment, a general shouted with a long knife: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" The group responded.

Just after lunch, Ouyang picked his teeth and said, "We have to leave, otherwise we will be reimbursed for a round of arrow rain." "Although there is a shelter as long as you roll, Ouyang is a knowledgeable person and knows what it means for a gentleman not to stand under a dangerous wall.

Zhu Da hurriedly shouted: "Protect your lordship." ”

But seeing that Xiao Yin of the previous team was behind ***, he released four empty horses to step on the thunder before, and the small army followed. With two bangs, the three horses fell to the ground and died. But the horse rushed into the city through the thick smoke. Xiao Yin was overjoyed, and shouted with a clip on the horse's belly: "Kill!" ”

The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they shook their weapons and shouted: "Kill! ”

When I entered the city, I looked left and right and found no enemy. There are quite a few people moving goods only in the distance. Xiao Yin shouted again: "Brothers, rush!" ”

Before the brothers could respond, there was a golden sound, and countless people suddenly appeared on the rooftops on both sides of the street. None of the men carried weapons, but each took a sack and a shovel. Before Xiao Yin could comprehend, countless white powders were sprayed overwhelmingly.

"Medium, retreat!" Xiao Yin hurriedly braked his horse, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly felt unbearable anger in his eyes: "Bastard, it's lime." As soon as he finished saying this, he felt a blow behind him, and the man fell out of the horse. But after all, he was well-trained, and at this time, he immediately turned around and ran back, and was definitely trampled into a pulp, so he rolled to the side with his head in his hands and shouted: "Rush, rush!" "Just rush over the limeland.

Although the cavalry was in a mess, there were still thirty horses rushing forward, but because they were stained with lime and their eyes hurt, they could only rush forward with their horses, and their weapons did not dare to swing their weapons, and they would be injured by mistake. But what they didn't expect was that out of the lime field, in front of them was a wall of fire lit by fierce fire oil. They dared to rush, but the horses did not, and although many of the horses had lime in their eyes, they could always feel the heat. Even war horses are naturally afraid of fire.

Zhang Liang shouted: "Close the city gate." ”

Outside, Li Huan was shocked, and he didn't see what was happening in the city clearly at all, and saw the city gate closed. Immediately shouted: "The left and right wings rush the city gate." Behind him, the signal commander flag was raised, and the left and right wings rushed to the city gate together, and the main force also began to advance in batches.

"Grenadier!" The head of Zhanglan City shouted, and more than 100 people appeared on the city wall, holding torches in their left hands, hand cannons in their right hands, and two carrying explosive bags.

"Shoot the arrows!" Li Huan ordered.

"Shrink your head!" More than 100 people went back with their heads. Zhang Liang shouted: "Ignition! ”

Wang Dashui and Jin Shou drank together on the left and right wings: "Rush!" ”

"Ready!" More than a hundred hand-throwing cannons were raised.

Li Huan saw that his heart was broken, and he hurriedly shouted: "Mingjin! Then he saw the cannons rain down from the walls. First, a few brave daredevils, along with men and horses, were blown to pieces.

"Ready!" At the position of the city wall, more than a hundred hand-throwing cannons were burning in the line of fire.

"Withdraw! Remove! "Li Huan is in a hurry, this is a throw that doesn't cost money! Hurriedly snatched the gong and struck it himself. This time the order worked, and no one was killed by the cannons, but many fell off their horses.

"Ready!" The third round of hand-throwing cannons was thrown down again. Zhang Liang showed a small head, looked left and right at the enemy, walked away, and shouted: "Throw two more rounds." ”

Ouyang nodded with satisfaction: This son is very good. If you consume some more, you can report and ask to buy your own weapons, and it is not easy for a nest of people on your side to eat, and it is not easy to make a living. Zhu Da, who was beside Ouyang, asked, "My lord, can you start?" "The streets were in a mess, and most of them covered their eyes and fled everywhere, and there were screams from being trampled by horses.

"Almost, I guess now they have no choice between the enemy and me."

Zhu Da waved his hand, and the people around him began to sing the second gold. The doors of the street were wide open, and people rushed out of them, and when they grabbed a man and threw them inside, they tied them up strongly, grabbed the enemy's head and scooped them into the prepared vegetable oil tank a few times, which was considered to wash their eyes, and then threw them into the corner. In less than a cup of tea, all the dead and alive were captured.

Then there is extinguishing the fire and gathering the horses. There are many people who are easy to do, and after about an hour, the statistics will be reported to Ouyang: "Report!" Thirty-seven were killed and seventy were captured. Eighty-nine horses were seized. ”

"Chop!"

"Yes!"

"Report! There were two women. ”

"Chop!" Gender discrimination is wrong. Ouyang explained: "Who cut it directly." ”

"Yes!" The soldier thought for a moment and asked, "Are you also going to be punished?" ”

"If you recruit it, you won't get it, and if you don't recruit it, you won't get it. I still have to ask! "Even according to the Geneva Conventions, prisoners of war are subject to their numbers and names. Every word and deed you do is an international spirit.

"Yes!"

Zhang Liang was beside Ouyang: "My lord, these are just little flies." "He's thinking about the main force.

"No matter how small a fly is, it's meat. Besides, this street can only accommodate a maximum of two hundred people, once the other side has a large number of people, and we control the city gate and rush towards the city wall, we will be in trouble, and we don't have enough time to prepare, or we can let another two hundred in just now. Ouyang said: "Besides, they may not continue to deliver food." ”

"Won't it?" Zhang Column asked, "So stupid?" ”

"It has nothing to do with stupidity, did we expose our strength today? No, there were only more than 100 people who threw hand cannons in the face. The enemy will still have a fluke mentality. Ouyang smiled and said, "Besides, I heard that there will be rain tomorrow." ”

"Rain?"

"Didn't you hear that the toad is screaming, and the heavy rain will come tomorrow?"

"......" Zhang Ran Khan said: "The last general only heard that the toad was screaming loudly, and the heavy rain was coming soon." ”

"Just kidding. I estimate that the enemy will take advantage of the heavy rain to storm the walls at night. ”

"Why?"

Ouyang explained: "Rain lime and gunpowder are not used, I believe he thinks so." ”

"Then why night, why the city walls?"

"Stupid! I didn't dare to go when I opened the gate during the day, and of course I climbed the wall at night. ”

"......" Zhang Column wiped his sweat and said: "My lord is wise." Doesn't he understand that the two are necessarily connected?

It rained that night, but it was ...... No one is going to climb the wall. Thousands of Song troops who enshrined Ouyang as the god of wealth and reincarnated Zhuge Liang lay down in the heavy rain for a night, and the next day, the cold rate reached 30%.

As an adult, you must have majesty. Ouyang explained: "Pay attention to the soldiers' bodies, although it is almost summer, but the clothes still have to be worn, and now it is like this, it will affect the combat effectiveness very much." ”

“…… Be! "The reprimanded chapter column is very well-behaved.

"One tael of silver for each person who lay down in the nest yesterday." Ouyang instructed: "Wang Wu, you arrange it." ”

"Yes, sir."

Li Han sighed beside him, it's good to be rich. A handful of silver is smashed down, and everything is settled. Money is not as good as people, officials are not as good as ***, you can only drink tea and watch the excitement, what else can you do.

"Report!" The scout entered the prison and said, "The enemy has disappeared without a trace. ”

"Huh?" Ouyang and Zhang Liang were both shocked.

"The brothers searched for thirty miles from all sides, but found no trace of the enemy. Due to the heavy rain last night, there were no traces of horseshoe either. ”

Ouyang nodded, this is a plain, and some are only dozens of small hills with a little wood, and none of them can hide two thousand people and horses. Ouyang asked: "There is no trace at all, it should be after nightfall to two watches, one and a half hours at most." Zhanglan, can your army march thirty miles on a rainy night? ”

"It's raining again at night,......" Zhang Column thought about, "difficult." Add mud and mud at night, and the horses will slip and carry supplies if you are faster...... If there is still a sight of ten miles, the enemy must travel forty miles. I'm afraid it's too hard. And the last general said that this proton army didn't have to run away at all, and he could be on the spot for help. Although there are seven or eight thousand people in our city, we will face each other head-on, and we will suffer. If you can't say it, you will lose the city. ”

"Then why are they running?" Ouyang touched his chin and asked, "Are you playing disappearing?" ”

"Play vanished?" The chapter column is incomprehensible.

"Your mother-in-law quarreled with you, and your mother-in-law ran away from home in a fit of rage, and then hid in a place where an idiot can find you,"

"Find a fart, dare to run away from home and smoke her to death." Zhang Lan's fist Kong Wu was forcefully placed on the table, full of energy.

There is no common language with this person. Ouyang thought about it: "I guess where this guy is hiding." These two thousand people say that it is not much, but it is not much less, maybe it is really difficult to find a cat on which hillside. ”

Zhang Column asked, "What is his purpose in doing this?" ”

Ouyang said: "I still insist that he will climb the wall on a rainy night. ”

"What if it's not?"

"No, it's not. Anyway, draw a team out and be responsible for the ambush at night. The others are the same, let's think of a few more traps for him to jump"

Li Huan really didn't go far, in fact, he divided the troops into zero, divided into six teams, and hid in the small mountain bag. The scouts sent by Ouyang didn't think that two thousand people could stay in one place at all, so they skipped it.

At the military meeting, Li Huan said: "Now the best strategy is to capture the enemy scouts, find out the truth in the city, and then make plans." In the middle strategy, take advantage of the enemy's slackness and attack the county at night. After taking the city gates, the army broke through. The next strategy is to stay put, wait for reinforcements, and 20,000 iron harriers will arrive in about seven days. ”

Wang Dashui said: "I'm afraid the best strategy won't work, once the scout doesn't go back, the grass will startle the snake." Besides, the scouts are all alert people, they are all well prepared, and the aisles are well chosen, so we can't ambush them. ”

Jin Shoudao: "It's not okay to make a decision, in case the reinforcements arrive and find that there are only a few hundred people in the city, will this proton army be shameless?" Moreover, we have traveled day and night, and now we have the last three days of rations. ”

Li Huan sighed and said, "I don't know, it's just that this strategy is too dangerous." The Art of War: Know yourself and your opponent. But now we don't even know who the other side will be and how many troops they have. If you attack rashly, I am afraid that you will lose all your money. ”

Wang Dashui said: "My lord, if the enemy army does not open the city gate, how will we attack?" ”

"Naturally, it's a broken door and a broken wall."

Then the general did not understand why the general was cowardly when the enemy opened the city gates. Did we know the reality in the county before? ”

Li Huan choked, but this is really the truth, because he was suspicious, he sent a small force to deliver food. Could this be the true intention of the empty city plan? Li Huan said: "Let me think about it again." "The opponent's strength is too weak.

The generals under the "......" looked at each other.

Ouyang looked at this man with very dark skin who stood in front of him and looked down on himself and asked, "Are you Xiao Yin?" ”

"Humph!"

Ouyang took a sip of tea and waved his hand: "It's castrated." Let's talk about it after dinner. ”

"Yes!" The two forbidden soldiers pulled Xiao Yin and pulled it outside.

"Wait." Xiao Yin hurriedly said: "I have something to say." According to the book, there is a fifty percent chance that he should help himself loosen himself, and then let himself go because he admired his courage. There are five more achievements that are pulled out and cut. But which book and which commentary didn't mention that it would be pulled out and castrated.

Ouyang said to Zhang Liang beside him: "General Zhang, your soldier is not bad. Lao Tzu did not listen to what he said, but the enemy shouted and slowed, and they were slow. ”

Zhang Lan couldn't help but slapped the table on his face and shouted, "What are you doing?" Didn't you hear what Master Ou said? ”

"Yes!" The two forbidden armies hurriedly pulled Xiao Yin and left.

Xiao Yin roared: "Lao Tzu will not let you go if he is a ghost." ”

Ouyang shook his head: "If I don't kill you, how do you do it?" Please, you have a little brain, this county is considering that there is a Keju competition in Yangping in July, and there are fewer eunuchs who dance striptease. ”

Xiao Yin was terrified, he was not afraid of this death, but he was guilty of this life...... Hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted, "My lord, spare your life." ”

Ouyang nodded, and the two forbidden soldiers let go of their hands. Ouyang walked slowly to Xiao Yin's side and said, "Actually, I can release you, and I can release everyone else." ”

"Thank you for not killing."

"But...... You have to take the lead in writing a letter urging you to surrender. The letter said that because you were inspired by the Great Song Dynasty, you decided to be a Song person. I advise you Lao Tzu to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and live a happy life with you in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

“…… You still kill me, kill me. Xiao Yin jumped up angrily, looked left and right and hit the pillar.

didn't think that Ouyang stretched out his foot and hooked, and he fell into the mud. Ouyang sighed: "Because you are stubborn...... Come on, pull it to the music camp, and cut it when it's ***. ”

"Yes!" The two forbidden armies were very resolute in pulling Xiao Yin away.

Ouyang waved his hand: "Wang Wu, let Li Yifeng follow the interview and persuade him." ”

Zhang Column will not understand: "My lord, this ...... Why is it so troublesome? ”

"Everyone has value to be used." Ouyang Dao: "This Xiao Yin's Lao Tzu is a Liao person, and he is a general in the Yan Military Mansion in Heishui Town who has a good relationship with Liao. As long as he dares to write a letter of persuasion to his Lao Tzu, and then we report this letter, he Lao Tzu will probably not have a good life. Even if the emperor was wise, he did not dare to divide the power into his hands...... Cockroaches, bring the next one. ”

It's a chapter bar! Zhang Column despised him in his heart and stuck out his tongue and shouted: "Take those two mothers." ”

"If you turn back, you'll be abolished." Ouyang Dao: "You are a person with a meritorious reputation, you must be careful when you speak...... Wow, these two mothers are so wild. ”
