Chapter 424: Surprise attack on Xuzhou
When the Shouchun battle was in full swing, LΓΌ Meng led the elite soldiers to go north smoothly in the merchant ships, bribed officials along the coast, avoided ship inspections, and sneaked into Donghai County from the coast.
The Wu army marched west in batches and entered Yilu Mountain to rendezvous, this time only bringing Ling Tong and Zhu Ran, two young generals, and the three of them were all excited when they saw that they were about to attack the city.
Lu Meng said: "This surprise attack on the East China Sea, intended to occupy Xuzhou, the north should be the governor, the south should be the main army, only take Tan County may be difficult to hold, but also need to take Houqiu, this place can not only resist the Pi Cao army, but also retreat to Guangling, who of the two generals dare to take this big task?" β
Zhu Ran hugged his fists and said: "I will study with the lord in the next place, and I have studied the art of war together for the past two years, and I have a lot of experience, and it is easy to take a thick hill." β
Lu Meng was also worried that Ling Tong was too reckless, which was exactly what he wanted, so he nodded and said: "Righteous sealing and defending the city, you can take the East China Sea with peace of mind, after breaking the city, as long as you don't hold out, there will be no big problem, you must not rush to battle, if you lose this place, we will not only lose our previous achievements, but also cut off the back road!" β
Zhu Ran hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the general, unless the lord comes, he will never go out of the city." β
Lu Meng then divided his troops into 1,000 troops, and ordered Zhu Ran to put on Cao Jun's clothes and armor, and pretended to be a Xiapi reinforcement to go to earn the city, Houqiu is just a small city, and there are not many defenders, so there will not be too many suspicions, as long as the city is opened, it can be taken.
After Zhu Ran left, Ling Tong said: "The last general can also change Cao Jun's armor to blend into Tan County. β
Lu Meng said: "There are 20,000 defenders in Tan County, and we have no foreign aid, so we are putting ourselves in danger by rushing into the city!" The equipment in the army can only be outwitted and not attacked. β
Ling Tong asked, "What is the general's good plan?" β
Lu Meng said: "Although there are many soldiers in Tan County, there is no general to command, and a certain person has a plan, and the public performance leads the troops first, and acts according to my orders." β
Ling led the order, first led 500 elite cavalry to kill Tan County in the East China Sea, and LΓΌ Meng led the rest of the soldiers and horses to follow up to deter the Cao army defenders from surrendering.
The Wu army forced to the city, the defenders saw it from afar, and immediately beat drums and gongs to warn, and the guard of Donghai County hurriedly came to the city to check the enemy's situation.
Du Wei Fu Shuo said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, but hundreds of Eastern Wu soldiers and horses must be sneak attack from the coast, so don't worry." β
Fu Fang looked at the city, only to see a military general urging the horse out, standing under the moat, and immediately shouted: "Cao Cao is already a lost dog, don't you come down early?" β
Fu Shuo said angrily: "Jiangdong rats, dare to underestimate the Central Plains figures? He will be slain under his horse. β
Fu Fang frowned and said: "Hundreds of Wu troops dare to go deep into the enemy's territory, I am afraid that they will have something to rely on, and they should not underestimate the enemy." β
Fu Shuo said proudly: "Isn't it the credit of sending a small force to the door?" This is exactly what helped my brother to win the reward, and it should not be missed. β
Fu Fang was still hesitating, Fu Shuo had already gone down to the city to order troops, ordered people to open the city gate, and set up a formation to confront the Wu army.
Since serving as the county guard of Donghai for three years, Fu Fang has been dotting up and down, and he should have been promoted to the history of Xuzhou, and he can enter the court after training.
I didn't want Cao Cao's troops to be defeated, the Wu army counterattacked Huainan, transferred Cao Ren to supervise the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, and concurrently served as the assassin of the history, and was not promoted for a long time.
Fu Shuo raised his gun and shouted: "This governor Fu Shuo never kills unknown people, and those who come are famous!" β
"It is night to Mou Nai Jiangdong Lingtong!" Ling Tong smiled coldly: "I think you are just a nobody. β
Fu Shuo was furious and urged Ma to fight against Ling Tong, and Fu Fang in the city watched the battle nervously, and ordered people to beat drums and cheer, first testing the reality of the Wu army.
The drums outside Tanxian County shook the sky, the two fought in front of the battle, Fu Shuo met the enemy for the first time, he was in good spirits, a gun was ghostly, and after more than ten years, Ling Tong was in a hurry and couldn't parry.
"It turned out to be just a sneak attack by a squad!" Fu Fang was overjoyed when he saw this, and looked forward to Fu Shuo getting rid of the enemy in one fell swoop, so that he could report his credit.
Just as he was looking forward to it, suddenly the dust was flying in the distance, the flag was fluttering, and a large group of people and horses were approaching quickly, Fu Fang was shocked, and hurriedly called Jin to withdraw his troops.
Fu Shuo was about to take advantage of the victory to kill the enemy, and when he heard the order, he had to retreat to the city, complaining: "I was about to break the enemy and make meritorious contributions, why did my brother Mingjin?" β
Fu Fang pointed into the distance with a solemn expression: "The enemy brigade has arrived, but there is no news in the East China Sea, where did they come from?" β
Fu Shuo walked quickly to the head of the city, only to see thousands of Wu troops coming to the city, and a general urged the horses to the city and shouted: "Jiangdong Lu Meng is here, who dares to go out of the city to fight?" β
Fu Shuo clenched his fists and said, "Hmph, Lu Meng'er also dares to be arrogant, watch me fight again." β
Fu Fang shook his head and said: "Thousands of Wu soldiers have entered the country, but there is no notification from all over the country, I am afraid that there will be fraud in it, Lu Meng is a famous general in Jiangdong, and there is no need to fight with him anymore." Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, first send people to explore the truth and truth, and then think of a plan to break the enemy. β
Fu Shuo had no choice but to lead his troops to defend the city, and sent people to inquire about the news of Donghai County to see where this Wu army came from.
Wu Jun shouted for a while, saw that no one left the city, and saw that it was not early, so he retreated to Sanli and set up camp, sent people to cut wood and make weapons, and prepared to attack Tan County.
After dinner, Fu Fang sent the generals to the palace and said to everyone: "The Wu army does not know where it came from, but according to the report of Tanma, there is no army in the rear. These 3,000 lonely soldiers are in-depth, which is really a godsend, and you will be rewarded when you make meritorious contributions! β
Fu Shuo was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "Although the prince of the palace commands, I will wait for the liver and brain to be smeared, and I will not hesitate to do it!" β
Fu Fangyan said: "The Wu army sneaked here, the heavy grain and grass are insufficient, the camp is rough, and the soldiers are tired. Today, the Metropolitan Governor is facing the enemy in Shouchun, and it is the time to employ people, if you hear the news of us, you will definitely be reused. β
Everyone was happy, immediately returned to the camp to prepare, led by Fu Shuo out of the city to rob the camp, now Cao Ying is short of generals, there are a lot of vacancies, as long as you kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, you can be promoted immediately.
At the fourth watch, when the soldiers were full, Fu Shuo personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to the Wu army camp, and then divided into three teams, each with 2,000 men and horses, to encircle and annihilate the Wu army.
The night in early autumn was slightly cool, Fu Shuo's soldiers went to the enemy village, sent scouts to observe closely, and sure enough, the enemy army was defenseless, and the horses were sent out and rushed straight into the camp.
Some soldiers had already prepared hay torches, rushed into the village and set fire everywhere, and in the midst of a shout, the fire spread by the night wind, and in the blink of an eye, the fire soared into the sky, illuminating the air.
When the three-way men and horses who were ambushed outside the camp saw the signal, they immediately surrounded them, surrounded the large battalion of the Wu army, and each of them entered from the camp gate nearby.
Fu Shuo took the lead, crossed several large camps, rushed to the front of the Chinese army's tent, opened the tent with one shot, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Lu Meng'er, where is it...... Hey? Grassβ"
I saw that under the firelight, there was only one straw man standing in the tent, and my heart sank suddenly, and I shouted: "There is an ambush, withdraw quickly!" β
Before the words fell, he heard the neighing of horses from outside the camp, and Cao Jun was still looting weapons and materials in the fireworks.
Suddenly, countless arrows fell from the sky, mixed with many rockets, and shot into Cao's army, and the camp next to them also burned into flames, encircling them in the fire.
