Chapter 363: Huang Zhong Yexi
An hour later, Zhang He's 20,000 infantry, guided by scouts, began to move north. Zhang He kept comforting himself in his heart, it was too late, it must be too late, those scouts must be smarter and pass the news to He Chun Yuqiong as soon as possible.
The Lord General is worried, and the more than 20,000 Jizhou soldiers and more than 10,000 people are also worried. The shadow that Zhang Liao left on their hearts is expanding infinitely.
A hundred miles away from Zhang He's camp, Chun Yuqiong had been here for three days, and he originally planned to lead 50,000 troops into Hanoi to take revenge, but Yuan Shao's strategists had to come and divide into several ways, and they had to wait for the situation on other battlefields before deciding to attack. has already reached the border but can't move on, Chun Yuqiong is really helpless, so these days can only gather the generals under his command to eat and drink.
Today is another crisp autumn night, and Chun Yuqiong is very excited, because he has a clever subordinate who has brought him a few young girls from a nearby village.
Thinking about how beautiful it would be to press myself on these two watery girls and exercise. If you can do this night and night, it's actually not bad, although a big victory can make a meritorious service, but to ???????????????? It's not about eating, drinking, and having fun, what more can you ask for in life.
The captain and Sima Men under his command also tried their best to flatter Chun Yuqiong: "General, what do you say is going on with Tian Feng and the Frustrated Supervision Army, 50,000 people will be killed directly into Hanoi and will not be able to surrender." And Guo Gong is the same, obviously it is 50,000 people, but this time he was divided by Zhang He with 20,000, doesn't he believe in the general's ability?
If you want me to say that the general might as well go directly to Huai County, capture that Huang Zhong alive, and exchange hundreds of thousands of grains for the lord to come back. ”
Although Guo Tu was with the military counselor for military affairs, he didn't like this kind of gathering of rough men in the army, so he didn't appear here tonight.
"Yes, yes, that Huang Zhong heard that we came 50,000 people and definitely cowered in the city and did not dare to come out, even if we can't take Huaixian, we can occupy several other county towns first, it is said that Na Wei Xuan has been in Tuntian all these years, and when the county seat is broken, the grain can be handed over to the lord, and the money can always be left for the brothers to eat and drink. If we're lucky, we can find a few more water spirits for the general to serve the general. ”
Everyone laughed, Chun Yuqiong was also very proud, following Yuan Shao, he didn't do anything big, but he was as chic as in Luoyang before.
Just when everyone was staggering, suddenly a soldier hurriedly rushed into Chun Yuqiong's military tent, found Chun Yuqiong's position after coming in, knelt down and said eagerly: "General...... Big things are not good, enemy attack, enemy attack! ”
Chun Yuqiong was already a little drunk, and was furious when she heard this: "It's so rude and messing with our army's heart, drag it down and cut it!" ”
Hearing this, the two of them immediately walked in outside the military tent, and the scout was about to go out, but the scout was dumbfounded and shouted anxiously: "General, General Huang Zhong is attacking at night!" It's only three or four miles away. ”
】
Chun Yuqiong waved his hand: "Pull it down!" ”
Although Chun Yuqiong drank a little too much, he was not really drunk, he had also seen Zhang He, Lu Yi and others leading troops, he felt that now was a good opportunity to show his authority, wasn't it Huang Zhong's night attack? 15,000 people attacked 22,000 people, what could he do, he had a camp as a defense, and he was afraid that Huang Zhong would not succeed. This scout is really disappointing, and there is a suspicion of disrupting the army.
However, after the scout was dragged out, Chun Yuqiong still put down the wine cup in his hand, put down the beautiful woman in his arms, and said to everyone: "Since the enemy dares to disturb us, let them suffer a little." You each go back to your respective camps, listen to my orders, Huang Zhong will defend when he comes to attack, if he doesn't dare to come, he will let his night attack turn into a night escape. ”
Everyone grinned and went out, after all, it was an enemy, so naturally they couldn't continue to drink. Soon, Yuanmen Sima came to Chun Yuqiong's military tent, walked beside him and whispered to Chun Yuqiong: "General, the enemy seems to be pouring out. ”
Chun Yuqiong nodded, got up from his seat and walked towards the outside of the military tent, several pro-soldiers standing on the side hurriedly followed, and one of them draped a big red robe on Chun Yuqiong.
Chun Yuqiong came to the watchtower surrounded by his own soldiers, two or three miles to the west, the firelight was dotted, and the number was indeed Huang Zhong pouring out.
Chun Yuqiong sneered in her heart, didn't she just eat pork for a few days, and she felt that she was good at night fighting. If he had launched a night attack on the first night of his arrival, the soldiers might have been a little flustered, but now that it has been three days, the soldiers have ???????????????? It has long been stabilized.
It's just that Chun Yuqiong waited on the watchtower for a while, but the enemy in the distance didn't come closer, and seemed to stop in the distance?
Soon scouts came to report: "General, the enemy seems to be just bluffing. ”
Chun Yuqiong nodded, he could see that the enemy might have moved a lot before, but he didn't expect that it would be so long that he was still there.
About a quarter of an hour later, suddenly there was movement of the enemy, about a few hundred torches moved quickly, and Chun Yuqiong immediately saw that it was cavalry. Sure enough, the distance of two or three miles was in the blink of an eye, and then the cavalry began to shoot at the camp from a stone's throw away, still using rockets. Each cavalry swept in front of the barracks, fired a few rockets, and then flew away.
Although Chun Yuqiong's side was fully prepared, there were still a lot of fences and debris that were set on fire. Then those cavalry charged a second time, continuing to fire rockets, followed by a third.
After three rounds, the enemy's infantry phalanx finally began to move.
Chun Yuqiong understood that these cavalrymen were here to light torches for the infantry behind. The rockets ignited the fences and debris inside and outside the barracks, and the fire, though small, was fast enough to march.
Then the cavalry began to target the north and south sides of their camp, still the old way, close to the rocket, and then leave, and so on and so on, using the speed of the cavalry to make the archers in the camp unable to grasp the target. I can see that Chun Yuqiong is itching at the root of her teeth on the watchtower.
He said to the herald beside him, "Go out and ambush two thousand men in the dark, and when those cavalry come back, they will all be left behind by the general." ”
Soon two thousand men, half of whom were archers, quietly removed the barracks under the cover of night, and laid an ambush on the north and south sides of the barracks.
However, the enemy seemed to have eyes, this time there was no cavalry coming, and many infantry appeared on both flanks of the camp, and they gradually approached with the help of the fire of the camp, and then stood in place and lined up, aiming at the Jizhou soldiers, who were also infantry, and began to shoot.
Puff, puff, the sound of bows and arrows entering flesh was constantly heard in the darkness. The Jizhou soldiers who were ambushed on both sides of the camp also gave up the ambush and began to shoot at the enemy. However, they found themselves wrong, because the enemy who came was very well prepared, and the shield bearers stood outside the place of arrows with their shields raised, and the archers of the Jizhou soldiers could not do any harm to them at all. But the enemy's archers kept sending bows and arrows into the bodies of the Jizhou soldiers.
Although Chun Yuqiong couldn't see the specific battle on both sides clearly in the dark night, it was the Jizhou soldiers who were closer to him who were obviously howling. Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, a Sima-like man ran up to Chun Yuqiong sweating profusely and said, "General, the enemy's bow and arrow range seems to be farther, and the position is very good, we can't hurt them, but the infantry from our camp has suffered great losses." It didn't last long. ”
Without him continuing to report, Chun Yuqiong could guess the result, and the cavalry that had stopped earlier seemed to be dispatched again, clearly knowing that the soldiers who went out of the city were disabled This is for Chen Sheng to pursue.
Under the double blow of cavalry and infantry, the 2,000 men who left the camp were quickly killed and wounded.
And then those nasty cavalrymen began to drop rockets again. And the frontal enemy doesn't seem to have any intention of coming up. And those archers who defeated their own out-of-camp infantry???????????????? Also began to switch to rockets, which seemed to have a longer range than cavalry rockets. Some even set fire to the tents of many soldiers on the periphery.
This means that his entire camp will be set on fire. Chun Yuqiong figured it out, this was clearly harassing outside the camp, and then used the range of rockets to burn down his entire camp. As long as there is a fire, you can keep getting closer and shoot rockets inside. Then the burned area will be larger and larger.
No, you can't sit back and wait like this, although you can send more people to extinguish the fire, but it's too passive, even if the final loss is only one-fifth or even less, it will hit your morale hard.
Chun Yuqiong said to the herald with a gloomy face: "Blow the trumpet, and the whole army will attack." ”
The desolate horn pierced the dark night, and the more than 20,000 infantry in the camp began to assemble in units.
Chun Yuqiong was on the watchtower and just wanted to go downstairs, Guo Tu, who was ordered to join the army, hurriedly ran up, before he heard that the enemy was coming, and he didn't take him seriously like Chun Yuqiong. But now that Chun Yuqiong ordered the whole army to leave the camp, he couldn't sit still.
"General Chunyu, Huang Zhong will not come sooner or later, and the signs of the Xuan army of Huang Youwei on the river are clearly trying to disturb our army, if you go out of the camp at this moment, maybe there will be an ambush."
Chun Yuqiong said with a smile: "Neihuang has Yan Liang, Yecheng has the beginning, and Zhang Junyi is in the south of our army." Huang Zhong's 15,000 men still have to stay to defend the city, how to ambush us in this plain area, they are harassing tactics, they are sure that we will not go out of the camp, and they want to exhaust our army. Ben will not believe in evil, and go out directly with the mortar, so Amen was caught off guard. ”
Guo Tu thought for a while and said: "If the general insists on leaving the camp, you can send someone to inform General Zhang first, and let him also march into Hanoi overnight to try to take the opportunity to occupy a few more cities." ”
Chun Yuqiong nodded: "That's right, no matter how far Huang Zhong retreats, Hanoi must be empty." Ben Jiang was eradicated by Huang Zhong here and couldn't get away, Zhang He should attack, and he couldn't wait for the progress of other so-called battlefields. ”
Guo Tu nodded, he advocated a thunderous blow, and now Huang Zhong is not stationed in Huai County but comes out to sneak attack, although he may be tired all the way, but Zhang He will drive the president all the way in.
