Chapter 210: Zhao Gou is missing

But he said that after Fang La's cavalry entered the city. Zhao Gou asked the generals to lead the remnants of the army back to rest, and then count the battle damage.

After Zhao Gou returned to the tent and sat down, several lords came to the tent one after another to ask for guilt.

Seeing that the general was depressed, Zhao Gou was also unhappy. Qin Hui didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, and he avoided the anger of the public.

After a while, the personnel who counted the losses in the battle reported that more than 200 enemy cavalry had been killed in this battle, and our army had lost nearly 5,000 cavalry, wounded 5,000 cavalry, and lost 13 generals.

Zhao Gou said: "We defeated this first battle, it seems that it is difficult to recover Xuchang this time!" ”

"Master Qin, you are resourceful, see if you can think of a plan to take Xuchang, so that you can give an explanation to your father and the Chinese martial arts."

Qin Hui saw that Zhao Gou asked him to come up with an idea, his eyes rolled several times, and he finally came up with a trick.

Qin Hui said that let Guan Sheng's archery book enter Xuchang City, and asked Fang Lajun to raise fire one night to release the Song army from the east gate area defended by Guan Sheng, and jointly attack the camp of the Song army.

Then, dig a trap in the camp, and after the Song army rushes into the camp, ambush the soldiers everywhere and wipe out the Song army out of the city.

After the victory, let our army dress up as the Fang La army, Guan Sheng and the deception army, pretending to rob the camp victory, return to the city to repay the merits, after earning the city gate, more than 100,000 troops quickly broke into the city, immediately besieged and annihilated the main force of the Fang La army in the city, then Xuchang City can be broken.

Everyone said that it was a good plan, but they didn't know if Fang La would be successful.

Qin Hui said with a smile: "Of course you have to do enough to act, this will have to wronged General Guan Sheng to take a board"

Guan Sheng said: "As long as I can win, it is nothing if I take a few strokes of the board." ”

On the second day, Song Ying hung up the exemption card. After breakfast, the generals went to the camp of the Chinese army to order, Guan Sheng was deliberately late, and Zhao Gou asked the reason.

Guan Sheng said casually, he was upset after losing the battle yesterday, so he secretly drank a few sips of wine and overslept.

Zhao Gou was furious: "As a pioneer general, don't you know that alcohol is not allowed in the military camp?" You obviously despise your own commander and have no military discipline. ”

"Besides, yesterday's defeat was also caused by you, and today you deliberately violated military discipline. Come on, pull Guan Sheng out for me and give me a heavy responsibility for twenty military sticks to set an example. ”

The generals' pleas were not allowed, and Guan Sheng was dragged outside the gate by the military police who enforced the law, and was severely beaten with 20 military sticks in public, and Guan Sheng's skin was broken.

On this day, the soldiers in Guan Sheng's tent were all talking about this matter, and most of the soldiers were complaining about Guan Sheng......

Late the next night, the sergeants patrolling in Xuxuchang City picked up a few arrow books and sent them to Fang La's temporary marshal's mansion.

Fang La, Wu Yong, Yang Yi and others were discussing the military situation.

Fang La handed the arrow book to everyone to watch, and Wu Yong smiled after reading it: "This must be a trick by Qin Hui and others, in order to earn us to lead our troops out to rob the camp, so that they can fall into their ambush, and they take the opportunity to open the city gate and seize Xuchang." ”

"The letter said that Guan Sheng asked us to go out of the city and rob the camp when we were ugly the night after tomorrow, and we only need to calculate it, so that we will definitely win a big victory."

"At that time, we will think of arresting Zhao Gou, forcing him to make a truce, and join forces with us to destroy Wang Qing, so that Huaixi is all under our control. In order to realize the king's exclusive occupation of Huaixi and the development of Sichuan and Shaanxi. ”

At that moment, Fang La called Dai Zong and asked him to go out to convey military orders, so that the people and horses in Yuzhou, Lushan, Ruzhou and other places could arrive at the designated location according to the plan.

Three days later, late at night, there was a slight moonlight. As soon as the ugly time arrived, a few torches were lit outside the east gate, Fang La asked people to open the east city gate, Gao Chong, Yue Fei, and Yang Yizhong each led 5,000 soldiers, and Qiu Qionghu and Xie Zhen led 3,000 special soldiers out of the city quietly.

Xie Bao finally went out of the city with 2,000 special combat soldiers, quietly spared the sneak attack army, and went on a special mission.

When the generals came out of the city, the partial generals sent by Guan Sheng to contact him with a few sergeants were outside the city, saying that General Guan also led people to quietly go around the rear of the Chinese army camp, just waiting for the friendly troops to go, and then attack the Chinese army camp tent.

After speaking, walk in front and lead the way for everyone. Qiu Qionghu followed first with the special combat soldiers.

After walking for a while, the guide pointed to the camp tent two hundred paces away and said that it was where the Chinese army was stationed.

After finishing speaking, several guides were about to leave, and Qiu Qionghu roared, "Do it!" ”

Xie Zhen had already led someone to solve the problem with a few guides. At the same time, Gao Chong, Yue Fei, Yang Yi and others quickly led people to make a detour to the left and right of the ambushed Song army from afar to implement counter-encirclement.

The Song army in ambush saw that the enemy army who was sneaking up on the attack did not have a plan to kill the Chinese army camp, and knew that the matter was exposed, and was about to retreat, Qiu Qionghu took out a signal gun.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Three red signal flares rose into the sky, countless torches lit up behind the ambushed Song army, and shouts of killing rang out in all directions.

Fang La's army surrounded from a distance, surrounded all the Song troops in ambush, and even crossbow arrows flew like spring arrows, and the Song soldiers were seriously killed and wounded.

The Song army, which was caught in the counter-encirclement, panicked and fled to the Chinese army's tent, and many soldiers fell into the pit they had dug themselves. In response to that sentence: jump into the pit you dug yourself......

Tonight, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui took 30,000 soldiers of the personal guard battalion and secretly watched the battle on a high ground in the distance.

Although it is too far away, the specific situation is unknown. But after seeing a few fires outside the east gate, a large number of people quietly slipped out of the city.

Then these people slowly covered the past in the direction of the Chinese army camp.

The two glanced at each other, and their faces couldn't hide the joy of the conspiracy.

After a while, three large firecrackers were suddenly heard, and a red pillar of light like an arrow rose from the sky.

The two wondered in their hearts: What is the situation? Suddenly, Qin Hui yelled: "The situation is not speculated, we have been tricked!" ”

Before the words fell, the torches around him were bright, and the sound of shouting and killing sounded.

Zhao Gou was shocked, his body was so frightened that he squatted down, and shouted incoherently: "How can this be... How so? ”

After all, Qin Hui is a traitorous and evil person, much calmer than Zhao Gou. Leaned over and helped Zhao Gou up: "Your Highness should panic, hurry up and let Ren Yuan take the people from the guard camp to rescue Guan Sheng." ”

So Zhao Gou sent an order, leaving 500 soldiers in the guard battalion to guard, and the rest was taken by Ren Yuan to rescue the besieged officers and soldiers.

Ren Yuan got the order, and with nearly 30,000 soldiers of the personal guard battalion, he killed the enemy.

Ren Yuan and they came at the right time, and the Song army of 60,000 who participated in the ambush had already lost nearly 30,000 people. A little later, it will be possible to ambush the whole army.

Ren Yuan rose up and quickly dispersed the enemy forces on this side, and rescued Guan Sheng, Hu Yanqing, and Dong Ping who were surrounded.

Fang La saw on the city tower that the surrounded enemy army had been heavily damaged, and the Song army's deception plan had been crushed, and tonight's goal had been achieved. He ordered Mingjin to collect his troops, and the participating troops returned to the city for dinner, and then rewarded them for their merits.

This time, the people who were ordered to come from nearby prefectures and counties to participate in the siege included Li Tianrun, Shi Xiu, Shi Jin and Ye Hongyan......

Tonight, the Song army was defeated again. After the enemy army withdrew to the city, several main generals packed up the remnants of the defeated army and returned to their respective camps.

As soon as everyone returned to the camp, suddenly Ren Yuan, the commander of the barracks, sent someone to invite the commanders to hurry to the new Chinese army tent to discuss the matter, and something big had happened.

The five main generals were puzzled, and hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw that only Ren Yuan and a few personal soldiers were there, and Zhao Gou and Qin Hui were not in the tent.

Hu Yanqing opened his mouth and asked, "General Ren, what happened, where are the marshal and the military division?" ”

Ren Yuan said: "I was about to reprimand you, the marshal and the Qin military division have disappeared inexplicably, including the five hundred guards who stayed behind to protect the two of them when I came to rescue you, none of them are gone." ”

"They didn't see anyone in their hundreds of lives, and they didn't see their families. It's really hard to figure out, so I have to ask the generals to discuss countermeasures. ”

Guan Sheng is a vanguard general, brave and strategic, he thought for a while, and said: "Now there are only two possibilities, one is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too concerned about the war, and he came to the battlefield from a high place with five hundred people, and he encountered a melee between the two sides and died in the chaos. ”

"Because they were mixed with the families of soldiers who died on both sides, we had to wait until after dawn to let the soldiers clean up the battlefield and bury the households, so they have not been found so far."

"Another possibility is that after they came down from the high ground, they encountered the retreating Fangla army, and all of them were captured. I think that in the latter case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Qin military division should have no worries about their lives. Because, after all, Fang La said that he didn't want to fight with the imperial army, so as not to benefit the Jin and the healer. ”

"In the former case, then I will die without a place to bury. Imagine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has died in battle, can all our subordinate generals live harshly? ”

Everyone nodded yes, and suggested that the troops participating in the battle should rest and recuperate, and the troops that did not participate in the battle should immediately clean up the battlefield and bury the households to see if there were two households among them......
