Chapter 807: Fueling
In fact, in Liu Yin's view, now is still not a good time to send troops.
The Wei army at the four gates outside the city is still there, and at this time, if you venture out of the city to respond, you will inevitably be taken advantage of by the enemy.
But it can't be done if you don't go out, Liu Yin saw the battle situation in front of him, who would have thought that Guo Huai would not hesitate to fight at night to defeat the Northern Army in one fell swoop. The Northern Army is already showing signs of collapse, and the consequences of sending troops on their own or not at all are already not much different.
If you can't hide tonight, you can't hide tomorrow morning.
It is better to send troops to fight for a chance of survival.
Of course, sending troops to sending troops is going to send troops, you can't just rush out and do this, fools know what the consequences are.
Therefore, Liu Yin ordered five hundred sergeants, each with two torches, to go out of the east gate.
Outside the east gate, it is the direction of Guo Huai's army, and at this time Guo Huai has already pressed all his troops, and there are only more than 100 guards around him, which can be said to be the emptiness of the command center.
Coming out of the east gate, creating a sign that Guo Huai's army was going to be stormed, the besieging Wei army was bound to move troops to block it.
At this time, Liu Yin had the opportunity to lead the troops out of the south gate, go straight to the flank of the battlefield, and relieve Wu Yi from the siege by attacking the Wei army infantry in the front.
In the direction of the cavalry, Liu Yin didn't think about it, he didn't think that the infantry he led could be the same as the Northern Army, and the cavalry could be exchanged for one to one, and they could confront the infantry of the Wei Army, and they had to take advantage of the dark sky and poor vision to engage in a bluff raid.
To some extent, Liu Yin's plan is half the battle.
When I saw the defenders of Huaili City coming out of the east gate, judging from the number of torches, there were at least 1,000 to 1,500 people. Guo Huai didn't think that Liu Yin in Huaili City would play tricks at this time, so he ordered without thinking about it, so that the Wei army, the guard of the four gates, would gather at the east gate as soon as possible to block this army from advancing to his own Chinese army.
But then, when Guo Huai found that the defenders of the east gate had retreated, and the defenders of 2,000 Huaili ran out of the direction of the south gate, Guo Huai realized that he had been fooled.
Even so, Guo Huai didn't take it seriously.
How much combat strength the defenders in Huaili City can have, Guo Huai couldn't be clearer, even if they can respond to the frontal Shu army from the flank and help the Shu army stabilize the frontal defense line. As long as the cavalry on the flanks crushed the main force of the Shu army, then the frontal defense line would inevitably collapse.
At that time, Guo Huai could even take the reinforcements of the Shu army and the defenders of Huaili in one pot and capture Huaili City without much effort.
After that, whether to stay in Huaili or retreat, the initiative is all in Guo Huai's hands.
Therefore, in Guo Huai's opinion, the defenders of Huaili went out of the city to respond, and they couldn't stop the pace of their victory.
Nowadays, it's just a matter of time.
And Liu Yin. After leading the troops out of the city to fight, Liu Yin actually realized that his troops were somewhat reckless.
The 2,000 soldiers led by himself, from the defeat of the right Fufeng to the death of Huaili, almost a month was spent in a state of low morale.
When defending the city, he was protected by the city walls, and he was able to stabilize his morale, so he was able to hold on for about ten days.
But now that he is out of the city to fight, without the protection of the city wall, these soldiers under his command cannot exert their combat effectiveness at all, and it is not easy to be led out of the city by themselves without breaking up.
Therefore, when he launched a surprise attack on the Wei army on the frontal defense line, Liu Yin found that in fact, he was not of much help to the frontal defense line, and could only barely help the Han army on the front to temporarily stabilize the defense line, which could not play a decisive role.
On the contrary, because he was entangled by the Wei army in battle, in a short period of time, Liu Yin had no possibility of retreating to Huaili again, and could only continue to fight with the Wei army outside the city, and decide the ownership of Huaili County according to the victory or defeat of the battlefield.
This is simply the most taboo refueling tactic in the art of war, just like going out of the city to give away people's heads in vain.
Liu Yin, there is no way out.
And the development of the situation is moving in a direction that is becoming more and more favorable to the Wei army.
At this time, whether it was Liu Yin or Wu Yi, they were all a little desperate.
They can still hold on, but if they continue to hold on, no one knows how long they can hold on, especially when the Wei army is ready to fight at night.
Guo Huai also believes that as long as he continues to fight like this, he will inevitably reap a victory, so as to regain the initiative in advancing and retreating.
And at this time, the mutation was abrupt.
On the north side of the battlefield, a team of thousands of people suddenly appeared, under the banner of the Shu army, and was rapidly approaching.
Guo Huai was stunned at the time. Where did this Shu thief come from?!
Guo Huai quickly calculated the Shu thief army near the battlefield in his mind, and soon, he thought of an army.
The Shu thief reinforcements sent from Chang'an to Huaili.
Well. Since it's this unit, there's nothing to worry about.
According to the information Qin Lang gave him, Guo Huai could judge that the organization and combat effectiveness of this reinforcement army from Chang'an were quite low, and even the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers was not as good.
Guo Huai did not think that such an army could pose any threat.
Moreover, Guo Huai is not without contingency means to surround the 4,000 county soldiers in Huaili City, and now they can be completely withdrawn.
Now that the defenders of Huaili City have gone out of the city to fight, there is no point in the siege of the four thousand county soldiers, and with the current battle situation, there is no difference between Huaili City being captured now and captured early tomorrow morning, anyway, the Huaili defenders who are out of the city don't want to go back.
And with the combat strength of the Chang'an reinforcements, four thousand county soldiers are enough to resist them.
As long as this support army is blocked, then on the surrounding battlefield, there will be no possibility of other Shu thieves appearing, although there are some twists and turns in the middle, but the victory still belongs to you after all.
And things were indeed as Guo Huai expected, when Chen Yi led the troops and encountered the 4,000 county soldiers that Guo Huai withdrew, the rabble under him, let alone attack, even if they defended, they couldn't completely block the 4,000 county soldiers.
was angry with Chen You, Chen You, who has always been polite and polite, almost scolded his mother directly!
There are nearly 8,000 people on Lao Tzu's side, twice the strength of the opponent, and they are actually being pressed and beaten, and there are faint signs of retreat and collapse?!
Before, I asked you to support Huaili, and you could only walk twenty miles a day, but later, under the encouragement of money and military merits, regardless of the marching formation and your own command, you insisted on walking forty miles a day to reach the battlefield. That's the result?!
If Lao Tzu brings this kind of soldier to the battlefield again in the future, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Chen.
Cursing in his heart is cursed in his heart, but Chen Yi also knows that now it is not a question of whether he can make contributions on the battlefield in Huaili, but how to gather these rabble and try his best to block the attack of the Wei army.
If this can't be held, these rabble won't be able to live, and he Chen Yi will not end well.
Therefore, although he had no battlefield experience, Chen Yi still desperately forced himself to calm down, and according to the content of the military books he read, in the real sense, he commanded the military battle for the first time.
Then Chen Yi found out. I don't need it at all.
No matter how he commands, these bastards don't listen to each other, and they can't effectively form a defensive formation at all, and they still fight their own battles.
It is also that the sky is getting darker and darker, and the visibility on the battlefield is getting lower and lower, even the Wei army soldiers cannot exert their combat effectiveness in this kind of sky, and the rabble has almost zero serious combat ability, but under the chaotic battle, they still have a chance to fight, which gives the rabble the possibility to continue to persevere.
But the situation is still not optimistic, after all, these people are a rabble, and Chen You has to worry about these people scattering for you at any time, and then coercing himself to retreat.
At that time, this rabble may not be what will happen, but after returning to Chang'an, they will inevitably face military law.
Chen Yi was depressed, but there was no way to do it, so he could only try his best to gather troops around him, continue to defend, and fight for a moment.
At this time, Guo Huai nodded with satisfaction after seeing that the defense line on the north side was stable and blocked the attack of the last support army of the Shu thieves.
Immediately afterwards, Guo Huai immediately ordered the soldiers in front to strengthen the attack, striving to defeat the enemy in front of him before the sky completely darkened and nothing could be seen clearly.
After all, there is a risk of causing a melee in a night battle, and once it enters a melee, it is not something that Guo Huai can control. As a general, he didn't like that feeling.
It would be best if the battle could be ended before the sight was completely out of sight.
Can. When Guo Huai had just finished giving this order and the Wei army was attacking on all fronts again, a force of several thousand suddenly appeared on the east side of the battlefield.
After Guo Huai saw the smoke and dust produced during the march of this army, his back instantly sweated.
No matter what he thought in his head or how he calculated, Guo Huai couldn't figure out how an army of thousands of people could come out behind him.
What's even worse is that Guo Huai has now sent out all the troops he can send out. If this army is not its own allies, but Shu thieves. Guo Huai may only rely on the hundred guards in his hands to wrestle with the thousands of soldiers.
But Guo Huai knew that this was impossible.
His own hundred guards, even against those rabble on the north side, would not have any chance of winning, let alone the sudden appearance of this obviously well-trained army in the rear.
Now Guo Huai can only pray, praying that this army is his friendly army, after all, it is from behind him.
But it's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes soon, and Guo Huai saw the banner of this army.
"Han"
"Chiang"
The two big flags stood up, which made Guo Huai completely lose all his luck psychology.
