Chapter 183: Fire Attack Strategy
Capture Qingcheng, Huang Zhang immediately on the meritorious deeds, the first merit of this battle is Bian Huan, is his formulation of the lure of the enemy, outflanking the back of the way of play, the specific implementation is also Bian Huan commanded, the defeat of the barbarian army, he on the first merit, well-deserved.
Secondly, it is the wealthy family of Wucheng.
Huang Zhang was able to take Wucheng so smoothly, the Hao clan helped a lot from it, because of the response of the Hao clan in Qingcheng, so that the barbarian army originally stationed in Qingcheng could not react, and was easily taken by Huang Zhang, this merit, these Hao clans can not be buried.
Huang Zhang also specially invited the wealthy families in Qingcheng to have a big meal and exchanged views with each other.
In the end, it's Hu Lie.
Originally, according to Bian Huan's fighting style, the 8,000 barbarian army was purely annihilated by more than 3,000 points, and he didn't have much extravagant hope, but due to Hu Lie's pursuit, the loss of the barbarian army soared from 3,000 to 6,000, and the number of annihilated people increased by half, and the rest were also collapsed, and it is estimated that they fled.
This battle can be said to have completely destroyed this barbarian army of the Hengyuan Plain.
Next, they will face the 20,000 puppet troops who are rushing to Qingcheng.
20,000 people, not too much, not too little.
It's difficult, but it's not impossible.
Compared with mental pressure, a puppet army of 20,000 is not as deterrent as an army of 8,000.
"Your Highness, after receiving the news, the 20,000 puppet troops will arrive in Qingcheng tomorrow." Bian Huan said to Huang Zhang.
For the 20,000 puppet army, Bian Huan did not pay attention to it.
Hum! Those who surrendered, they have no backbone, these people, not to mention morale, I am afraid that the minimum combat effectiveness is problematic.
He didn't care about it at all.
When Huang Zhang heard this, he suddenly asked, "Are you sure those 20,000 people will come tomorrow?" β
"At their pace, yes!" Bian Huan affirmed.
Huang Zhang looked at him and asked again, "I mean, do you think these 20,000 people dare to come over?" β
As soon as Huang Zhang said this, Bian Huan thought about it and shook his head again.
I'm afraid that if I give this group of puppet soldiers ten dares, they don't dare to rush towards them.
"Then you say, why are they rushing to Qingcheng?"
Bian Huan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that they still don't know what happened in Qingcheng?" β
"Bring it in!" After Huang Zhang finished speaking, several soldiers walked in with a puppet army spy.
Huang Zhang looked at him and said coldly: "Explain yourself, who is it, where is it from, and what are you doing!" β
The man didn't have the guts, and when he heard Huang Zhang's questioning, he said directly: "We are scouts under General Li, and General Li sent us over to see if you are real or false, and then discuss how to deal with you tomorrow!" β
Hearing this, Bian Huan asked again, "Does your General Li know what happened in Qingcheng?" β
"I found out yesterday." The spy said.
When Bian Huan heard this, his brows began to wrinkle.
Huang Zhang waved his hand, and the scout was taken down.
As soon as the scout left, Bian Huan immediately leaned over and said, "Your Highness, something is wrong!" This puppet army knew what was going on, why did they dare to pounce? Is he really not afraid of us? β
Huang Zhang is also not clear about this, according to common sense, there is absolutely no reason for them to come here, there is definitely a problem here.
"Has the situation around the puppet army been investigated?" Huang Zhang asked.
Bian Huan nodded, "It's already been checked, and there are no accidents." β
"In that case, let's prepare for the next battle!"
Since it is not clear what the other party is doing, then the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
The next day, the puppet army really came to Qingcheng.
Seeing this 20,000-strong puppet army, Bian Huan couldn't help but want to laugh, while Huang Zhang frowned.
Bian Huan thought that the 20,000 people were dishes and came up to deliver them, but Huang Zhang was worried about another thing, because he saw a familiar person in this group of puppet soldiers, Ban Hong!
As a member of the Purge Department, how could Ban Hong appear in this group of puppet soldiers?
If Ban Hong is here, doesn't that mean that this group of puppet troops is commanded by people from the Purging Department.
The Ministry of Purging specializes in intelligence work in Sunan, and although the strength of the puppet army is vulnerable, after all, the number of people is there, so we still have to be careful.
Chaya was played by him because he didn't have the help of the Purging Department, in fact, he didn't have the help of the Purging Ministry, mainly because Ban Hong was seriously injured by Bian Huan long ago, and I'm afraid that he couldn't help Chaya if he wanted to.
But now, with the help of the Purging Department, Huang Zhang didn't think that they would be naΓ―ve enough to come and die.
The answer was soon revealed, and shortly after the arrival of the 20,000 puppet troops, another 20,000 troops appeared in the south of Gyeongseong.
Forty thousand!
This is not a small number, Huang Zhang learned about the remaining 20,000 people, only then did he understand what this group of puppet troops relied on, because of the help of the Purge, Huang Zhang did not even notice the movement of the other 20,000 puppet troops.
At this time, there are large forces of puppet troops stationed at the west gate and south gate, and the two sides camp with each other, forming horns.
And Huang Zhang only has 10,000 tooth troops and 5,000 recruits just collected, even if you add the people who can help defend the city in Qingcheng, this number can't catch up with the other party.
The puppet army surrounded the west gate and the south gate, leaving only the east gate and the north gate, probably just to let Huang Zhang withdraw from the other two sides with his troops.
But Huang Zhang was not as they wanted, and when the other 20,000 puppet troops arrived, Huang Zhang held a simple small meeting.
The content of the meeting was simple, how to cheer up the soldiers of the whole army, and discuss the next way to deal with it.
It doesn't matter if you cheer you up, after all, the Thousand Teeth Army has already gone through the lowest stage, and no matter how difficult it is now, it is better than before.
As for how to break the siege, Bian Huan and Hu Lie both have their own opinions.
Bian Huan thought that the puppet army had just arrived, and they could take advantage of the fact that the puppet army was not on a stable foothold, attack it first, and wait for another wave of night attacks at night to completely crush the morale of the puppet army.
And Hu Lie wanted to take advantage of their division of troops to attack the west! Divide and annihilate.
Specifically, it is to send people to the west camp to harass first, and when the soldiers of the south camp go over to support, the army will go straight to the south camp and destroy them first.
This solution looks good, but it is actually very dangerous.
Let's not talk about how many people have to be sent to harass to ensure that Nanying will send troops to support, it is difficult to defeat Nanying with lightning speed, if it does not succeed in a short period of time, or is bitten by the puppet army, then something will definitely happen.
The ideas of both were useful, but not particularly useful.
At the moment, their biggest problem is that they don't have enough manpower, if the puppet army attacks the city on both sides, they divide their troops, which will lead to a vacuum in their original insufficient troops, once one side is broken, both sides will be completely broken.
To put it bluntly, there is a shortage of people.
But Huang Zhang is the best at borrowing "people".
"Attack with fire!" Huang Zhang said suddenly.
"What?" Upon hearing this, both of them were stunned.
If Chu Liang was here, it was estimated that he would be extremely excited, after all, he had seen the power of Huang Zhang's fire attack with his own eyes.
Bian Huan knew that Huang Zhang would have a strange formation, but when he attacked with fire, he didn't have much hope.
After all, the conditions for wanting to fire attack are still too harsh.
How can you just set fire to the camp?
