Chapter 461: Crossing the River, Circling the Queen, Burning Grain and Grass
"Shan Yu, Yang Zhao's camp retreated, and Gongsun Zan retreated to Lu County."
Neng Chen arrived out of the battle, looked to the west, and said first when he saw this scene.
Knock them out, and naturally see it.
"It's really retreating."
Su Li looked up and wondered, "Before we hit Yang Zhao's camp, he was in a hurry to retreat?" ”
Lou Ban said confidently: "He's just afraid of us, uncle, should we march?" ”
"What does General Sully think?"
Bunton hesitated to make a decision, and wanted to see what Su Li's opinion was.
Although Kebineng did not come to unite in person, Su Li is a representative of Kebineng, and this battle is also fought with their cooperation, and Su Li is also hesitant to enter the army.
After thinking for a long time, Su Li shook his head and said: "I think we should wait and see what happens, wait and see how the situation is, and rush forward, I am worried that there is danger." ”
Neng Chen shook his head and said, "With the current situation, what danger can there be?" ”
Sully didn't explain that there was danger in the march, this was his first feeling, whether there would really be, it was uncertain.
Bandun pondered for a while: "Let's camp in place first." ”
Inside the barracks.
"Lord, we're in a bit of a hurry."
Tian Feng saw that the enemy was not chasing, frowned slightly, and said: "This time the camp retreated, because the subordinates did not think about it. ”
Yang Zhao said: "Then in the next battle, let the enemy hit our camp before they give them a taste of sweetness." ”
In order to lure the enemy deeper, they had to make the necessary sacrifices.
Soon, it's a new day.
Badun and Su Li once again gave the order to attack Yang Zhao.
This time, Yang Zhao made the feint defeat the same as the real defeat, allowing the Hu people to fight outside the camp, taking advantage of the convenience of the camp's defense, coupled with the courage and skill of the cavalry, to reluctantly keep the enemy out of the camp.
In this battle, Yang Zhao didn't even use firearms, and the more he fought, the more confident he became.
But then, they fought three more times.
After bearing the pressure of these three battles, Yang Zhao ordered to retreat another five miles, and was about to retreat to the small forest where Zhao Yun and the others were hiding before, just waiting to stop their movements.
"Uncle, Yang Zhao has retired again."
Lou Ban looked to the west and said excitedly: "Gongsun Chan retreated to the city, and he didn't dare to fight again, but he just defended the city and blocked the city gate again, and the current situation is beneficial to us." ”
"What does General Sully think?"
Badon asked again.
Su Li was silent for a long time and said: "Yang Zhao's retreat seems to be becoming more and more weak, which shows that he is very likely, really not good." Maybe it's an opportunity for us to take advantage of the victory, and we can also test the reality of the other side, and I think we can move in now. ”
His thoughts, in the course of victory after victory, gradually changed.
Yang Zhao gave people the feeling that he obviously wanted to hold Youzhou, but his ability was very reluctant, so he could only delay time with their Hu people, hoping to drag them down through the continuous supply of the rear army.
That's what Sully thought in her heart, thinking that she couldn't be dragged any longer.
You have to fight back in one go, and defeat Yang Zhao first, even if you want to drag it, you have to plunder Yuyang's grain baggage after occupying Yuyang, and then drag it down with Yang Zhao, now you can't even take Lu County, and you are still far from occupying Yuyang.
"General Sully is right, pull out the camp and advance."
Badun said loudly.
The Hu people marched and advanced five miles.
It has approached to the bottom of Lu County, only about a mile away from the city wall of Lu County.
When Gongsun Zhan saw this, they immediately strengthened their defenses, worried that the Hu people would come to storm the city again.
When Tian Feng saw this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly reported the news.
Yang Zhao summoned the generals around him to discuss the next move.
"We can arrange a group of soldiers and horses to go south along the Lushui, bypass the Huren camp, and then go east, cross the muddy water, ambush behind the enemy camp, and when the enemy retreats, attack him halfway after the crossing, kill the enemy who crosses the river, and then break its pontoon bridge."
"I am a local of Yuyang, and I am familiar with the situation in the vicinity, so I can take on this important responsibility for the lord."
Xian Yufu said first.
"Wen Yuan and Gongming, tonight, you will follow General Xian Yu and lead 30,000 troops to leave secretly, try to avoid enemy scouts, cross the muddy water, and wait for the turmoil here."
"If it's possible to find out where the enemy's grain is stored, you burn the grain and grass, and then let the shadow come back as soon as possible to deliver the message, so that we can make strategic adjustments in time."
"All the Divine Fire Crows in the army have been used, I want to let Badun experience what is called fire suppression."
"The shadow sent a message to Gongsun Zhan, and you must fight in Youzhou in the next battle to break the enemy together."
Yang Zhao agreed to Xian Yufu's suggestion and asked him to lead the way.
As a local of Yuyang, Xian Yufu is familiar with the environment of Yuyang, and no one is more suitable than him.
In addition, when the army goes to war, the place where the grain is stored is generally to find another place, and most of the grain will not be brought to the army, but will only be transported while fighting on the way to war.
The location of the grain storage will change frequently.
For example, in the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's grain was placed in Wuchao, not the front-line barracks, so that Cao Cao had the opportunity to burn the grain.
"Yes!"
Xian Yufu said in unison.
Next, it's time to fight the enemy outside Luxian City.
Yang Zhao spread out the map and looked at it for a while, and then discussed with Tian Feng how to fight.
It was very fast, and it was the same evening.
Xian Yufu led the team away, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang led the troops to follow, first walked a distance to the south of the camp, and then went in the direction of the water.
When they came to the shore of the water, they connected the sections of pontoon bridges with tough ropes, and then sent soldiers with excellent water skills to swim to the opposite bank, fixed on the opposite bank, and crossed the river together, and detoured to the east bank of the water, the enemy's rear.
Xian Yufu led them to find a col to hide.
If there are no accidents, they will attack early tomorrow morning, and their role will be played.
"Shadow, find the enemy's food storage place."
Zhang Liao ordered.
The shadow man hurried out to do his work.
They rested in the col, replenished their strength, and waited for tomorrow's battle.
The time passed quickly, and when it was almost dawn, the shadow came back with news, and said that the place where the grain was stored was in the north of their position, southeast of Pinggu, and there was a camp there, with more than a hundred tents.
From the place where the grain was stored, it took less than half a day to send the grain to the outside of Luxian County.
It is a place where food supply and grain storage are relatively convenient.
"Go and deliver a message to the lord."
Xu Huang said immediately.
Xian Yufu said: "I'll take a few people to find out the specific location." ”
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang nodded slightly, and let him find out.
——
Lu County.
Gongsun Zan got the news of Yang Zhao, and he couldn't sleep well all night, because tomorrow is the decisive battle, as long as he defeats Badun, he and Yang Zhao will settle their grievances.
Yang Zhao was able to come to save Youzhou, for the sake of righteousness, not for the feelings of his brothers.
After all, there has been no affection between them for a long time.
"Lord, in fact, Duke Lu, you killed him, right?"
During this period of time, Guan Jing seemed to see something wrong.
