Chapter 266: The Fire Attack of the Three-Captain Commander
Two roast rabbits, one for the other is just right.
After being full of wine and food, Zhang Liao's sleepiness came again.
He curled up by the fire and said to Zhu Hong: "I'll squint for a while, General Zhu will work hard to let this fire not be extinguished." ”
Zhu Hong shook his head with a low chuckle, and responded, "Okay." ”
Just as Zhang Liao didn't understand why he only slept for two hours, Zhu Hong couldn't understand Zhang Liao's behavior of not sleeping in order to understand his appetite.
He obviously didn't seem to wake up, but he came because of the aroma of roast rabbit.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhang Liao's snoring started.
The thorns are pulling, like pulling a big saw saw tree.
Zhu Hong picked up some thick dead branches and added them to the fire.
A scout tiptoed over from the back of the mountain, "Captain." ”
Zhu Hong raised his hand and made a silent gesture, glanced at Zhang Liao, and motioned for the scout to move a little farther away.
The scout understood, took a few steps back, and when Zhu Hong came over, he lowered his voice and said, "Captain, a group of soldiers and horses has appeared in Shannan, all of them are cavalry, about seven or eight thousand people. They had set up camp in the foothills near the mountain stream, and seemed to be preparing to spend the night there. ”
"All cavalry?" Zhu Hong asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, there is not a single foot soldier, and there is no coercion of the people." The scout said.
"From which direction?" Zhu Hong asked cautiously.
"Look at the direction of the avenue, it should come out of Jincheng." The scout replied.
朱洪点了下头,“知道了,再向北探查一下,看看在他们的身后,是否有步卒。 ”
"Whoa!"
Zhu Hong sent the scout away, and when he turned around, he saw Zhang Liao standing behind him.
"Our convict army is not normal, but we are good at walking." Zhu Hong was almost taken aback, and said speechlessly.
Zhang Liao raised his hand innocently and said, "I walked with a sound, but you didn't notice it just now." ”
"What do you think?" Zhu Hong asked instead.
Zhang Liao didn't say a word, and directly reached into his arms, "Reading books and fighting, what can I think." I still quite trust Jia Shizhong's strategy, let me see if he wrote about such a situation. ”
As he spoke, he took out a pamphlet from his arms, moistened his fingers with saliva, and flipped through them one by one, "Hey, there really is." ”
"As mentioned in this clever plan, it is not advisable to attack forcibly in this case, and you should choose fire attack, water attack, and night attack with suspicious soldiers and attack the west at night...... Fuck, so much? Eleven tactics! ”
Zhu Hong's scalp tingled a little when he heard this, "Otherwise, let's choose one by one?" ”
"It's a great idea." Zhang Liao nodded, "Let's look at the fire attack first, there are five fire attacks: one is called the fire man, the second is the fire accumulation, the third is the fire carry, the fourth is the fire store, and the fifth is the fire team." There must be a cause for fire, and fireworks must be furnished. There are times when the fire starts, and there are days when the fire starts. The time is dry, and the sky is dry; The sun, the moon is in the kei, the wall, the wings, and the wings. All those who live in these four quarters will also be the day when the wind rises. ”
Zhu Hong's expression was strange for a while, "Isn't this Sun Tzu's Art of War, Lieutenant General Jia also wrote these on it?" ”
"Really?" Zhang Liao was stunned, "He probably thinks I won't be able to understand it." ”
Zhu Hong pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "Today, the moon is not in the four nights of Kei, Wall, Wing, and Zhen, and there is no wind. ”
"But late autumn is dry, and the weather is good these days, even if there is a slight breeze, the fire can burn very much. This is actually a good tactic, pick an upwind slope and fire all arrows. ”
Zhang Liao lifted a piece of dry grass, tried it, and said, "Breeze, but I didn't roll it up randomly." Sun Tzu's Art of War, I didn't look at it neatly, but I know that fire attacks are the most taboo and the wind is uncertain, and the upwind direction suddenly becomes the downwind direction, and we have to suffer with it. ”
"It has to do with the time and the terrain." Zhu Hong said, "Today's south wind, the enemy army is in Shannan, but our position is not very good. If you attack with fire, the fire will go straight up the mountain. The enemy army was camped near the mountain stream, and we had no place to stay at all. ”
"Isn't it okay to attack from the east?" Zhang Liao said.
Zhu Hong was stunned, "Facing the mountains in the east, it is also convenient to hide, but I didn't think about it." ”
"One person is short, three people are long, not to mention, we still have this." Zhang Liao raised the handwritten trick of Jia Xu in his hand, "I found that the fire attack is coordinated with the suspicious soldiers, and it seems to be good to attack the east and west." ”
"Set fire to the east, place suspicious soldiers on the west, and make a pretending to be a sound with golden drums. They have only one direction to run, and that is to the east of where we are hiding, and if we set more traps in the forest, we can trap and kill a large number of their soldiers and horses. ”
Zhu Hong nodded while muttering: "Therefore, those who are good at attacking, the enemy does not know what they are defending; Those who defend well, the enemy does not know what they are attacking. Little, as for the invisible. God is divine, as for silence, so it can be the enemy's command. ”
"It turns out that this is the fate of the enemy."
Zhang Ji's expression was slightly plenched, "What did you just say?" ”
"Sun Tzu's Art of War, the way of reality and fiction. In fact, I can memorize almost all of this book, but I don't know how to use it. Zhu Hong sighed.
Zhang Liao pursed his lips slightly, and after a little hesitation, he persuaded, "That, if you don't think about it yet." I think we should also make some arrangements on the west side, which is the main road out of the mountain in the south of the mountain, and if the enemy army is roasted, it will definitely rush to the west in a panic. ”
"They were going in that direction, and they must have known that there was the way out."
Zhu Hong thought so, and admired Zhang Liao's flexible use of the art of war, "Dig the road, put the horse pit, stumble the horse, and set up an ambush, triple trap, this will be their Jedi." ”
"And they broke into this hell on their own."
"But I suspect now that there should be footmen behind them, and we need to reserve a way out."
Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and said, "After the blow is successful, immediately go south. ”
"The purpose of this rebel army is unknown, but the direction they are walking is the south. We continue to stay ahead of them and wait for an opportunity to get them on their way. ”
"Good!" Zhu Hong was convinced and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Liao closed the booklet, wrapped it in cowhide very carefully, and hid it closely.
He got up and patted his stomach and said, "It's still early, get something to fill your stomach." ”
Zhu Hong was a little speechless, you just ate a whole rabbit.
"I think we should now take a dip deeper into the mountains, for the enemy is likely to go up the mountain with the same purpose, and if their scouts are to explore north, the nearest shortcut is through the woods. If discovered, we may have no choice but to storm it. Zhu Hong said.
"Makes sense, makes sense, or is it as meticulous as you think. 真是一人计短,三人计长,我们还应当将我们在这里呆过的痕迹遮掩一下,马蹄印,火堆,还有人躺过的枯叶堆,粪便,都得处理掉。 Zhang Liao nodded again and again.
"Exactly." Zhu Hong got up and said, "Someone." ”
He immediately gave the order, woke up all those who were still sleeping, and called all the soldiers who were patrolling.
After almost all the tiny traces have been disposed of.
The 3,000 soldiers and 6,000 war horses with their mouths covered quietly moved into the mountains.
Zhu Hong's two guesses, after they entered the inaccessible mountains, all came true.
The scouts who probed northward reported that just outside this mountainous area, about twenty miles away, there were about 30,000 foot soldiers, carrying a large amount of baggage and grain and grass.
And not long after they left, the secret sentry that remained in the forest brought news of the enemy's horse scouting.
When Zhang Liao heard the scout's report, he sighed a little weakly, "It's really almost a failure." ”
"No matter how good the calculation is, if it is discovered by the enemy, everything will be over."
Zhu Hong was holding a pine tower in his hand, picking the pine nuts inside to eat, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, we avoided it cautiously." ”
"It's you, not me, who are cautious." Zhang Liao said.
He didn't think about it at the time, and he was already thinking about the battle at night.
"Maybe this is the reason why Jia Shizhong has to ask the two of us to cooperate, each has its own advantages and disadvantages." Zhu Hong said.
Zhang Liaoshen nodded approvingly, "It seems to make some sense." ”
"30,000 foot soldiers, 10,000 cavalry, Han Sui's troops are going south on such a large scale, it seems that this old Bangzi is going to attack Chang'an."
Zhu Hong rattled the pine nuts and said at the same time, "It should be." Han Sui defeated the Imperial Captain in a big way, and at this moment he must be complacent, intending to take advantage of the victory to pursue. ”
"But he must not have imagined that his 40,000 soldiers and horses crashed into our arms like a blind man." Zhang Liao said with a smile.
Zhu Hong glanced at Zhang Liao and said quietly, "General Zhang, we are only 3,000 people and the enemy is 40,000, so if we don't make it, we will fall into the arms of the enemy like blind people." ”
Zhang Liao didn't think that 40,000 soldiers and horses were terrifying, he said, "I have fought so many battles, and I have realized a truth. 寻常的战斗,就不能想可能失败,你必须得告诉自己,踏马的,劳资稳赢! ”
"Well, in general, it really wins. At a time of despair, it is even more necessary to have such thoughts, and perhaps there will be hope for turning defeat into victory. If there is no hope at all, then there will be a fight against the water, and labor and management will have to pull a few more backs. Death, the heroism of death, and the death of the enemy is terrifying. ”
Zhu Hong looked at Zhang Liao and was stunned for a while before he said sincerely: "This is a hero's opinion!" ”
"It shouldn't be a problem now, I'll go get something to eat." Zhang Liao smashed his mouth, rubbed his hand on his waist a few times and said.
Zhu Hong: ......
These generals in the army seem to be delicious.
There are several people who are famous for eating.
And he seems to be an alternative.
……
Late at night, there was a light breeze.
Zhang Liao and Zhu Hong divided their troops into three routes.
Two hundred men marched through the hills to the east and then to the south, where they were responsible for the transfer of horses.
On the other road, Zhu Hongqin led an army of 1,000 prisoners and stationed on the west side of the main road in Shannan.
Dig deep into the horse pit, arrange the tripping rope, reject the horse pile, and wait for the battle.
On the third road, Zhang Liao personally led 1,800 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to set traps in the mountains and forests to the east and prepare to set fires.
It was not until about the hour that Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to start preparing the trap.
When you go down the mountain, you can use the faint light to grope your way slowly.
But when you set up the trap, you can't really do it without a little light.
However, Zhang Liao didn't dare to light too many torches, and the total number of fires was only seven or eight fires.
When dispersed, it is not obvious.
Between the mountains and fields, there are occasional fires, and even if the enemy sees them, they don't necessarily think in the direction of the enemy soldiers.
But for the sake of prudence, Zhang Liao still ordered the soldiers to prepare bows and crossbows, ready to light fires at any time.
Ugly time.
The trap is formed, and the fire is raised.
When 1,800 flaming crossbow bolts streaked across the night sky and fell into the enemy camp, the fire broke out almost instantly.
Zhang Liao stretched out his bow and drew arrows, waiting quietly.
It wasn't until there were roars and shouts from the enemy camp that the second bolt was released.
His crossbow bolts are the signal.
In an instant, the second round of crossbow arrows was like a meteor, once again covering the enemy's camp.
At this time, the fire was raging, and the enemy camp was completely in chaos.
Zhang Liao raised his hand and counted arrows.
Their crossbow arrows are very abundant, and Zhang Liao is not distressed, but he can work hard to build them.
Why use a sword when an enemy can be killed with an arrow?
