Chapter 281: Deception (3)
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival night is destined to be an unquiet night, especially for the princes of Yanzhou! Onozawa was tense, and Yanzhou Jibei State, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin's mansion also ushered in Zhuang Shaoyou's envoy Sun Qian. At the same time, Puyang City, which is the focus of Yanzhou's chess game, is even more lively.
In the county guard mansion in the north of the city, Tian Feng and Wu Liang looked at Qiao Mao, the dejected Taishou in front of them.
After it was completely dark, in the west of Puyang City, an unknown number of men and horses came to the west gate of Puyang, and under the indulgence of Le Jin and others, they quickly killed the west gate, and the Puyang defenders of the west gate quietly opened the city gate and put people into the city.
The people and horses in the west of the city are Yuan Shaojun, who crossed the Henan River last night! With a total of 25,000 people, the elite forces of Jizhou Mu Hanfu and the major heroes of Hebei were mobilized to cross the river to raid Puyang, in an attempt to unite the princes of Yanzhou to defeat Zhuang Shaoyou's men and horses in one fell swoop.
After Yuan Shaojun entered the city, he immediately suppressed the defenders of the West Gate with thunder, took over the West City Gate, and then divided the troops into two routes, all the way to the East Gate, preparing to take the East Gate to receive Liu Dai's men and horses into the city; Kill all the way to the north gate, prepare to take the north gate, resist Zhuang Shaoyou's army outside Puyang City, destroy the main generals who are still in the city, and then plot the remnants of Zhuang Shaoyou's army without a leader! And this force is only the vanguard, there are still 20,000 horses in Jizhou who will kill in the north of Puyang City tomorrow, and attack back and forth in the city, defeating the Zhuang Shao guerrilla army outside the city in one fell swoop!
Tian Feng smiled: "Master Qiao, now that the matter is over, do you still want to continue to be obsessed?" ”
Qiao Mao asked reluctantly, "Are Liu Dai's men really here?" ”
Tian Feng nodded: "At dusk today, a team of people and horses in Yanzhou City, numbering eight thousand, came at full speed in the southwest direction, Qiao Taishou wouldn't think that Liu Dai was here to make soy sauce, right?" Now Liu Dai's men and horses are still twenty miles away from Puyang City! If Qiao Taishou continues to delay, I'm afraid the East Gate will also be lost! Puyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, and is a strategic place connecting Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Sili. Xiaguan heard that Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was worried about Puyang for not a day or two! ”
When Qiao Mao heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and the last trace of fantasy came to naught, nodded helplessly, and then slumped in his seat and said no more.
Tian Feng and Wu Liang glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and immediately ordered to release a signal!
The screams of three ringing arrows pierced the oppressive night sky, and Puyang City, which was already surging in the dark tide, immediately boiled.
A group of cavalry from the barracks north of the city roared towards the east gate, while another group of men and horses quickly took over the north gate and entered the battle with Yuan Shao's army.
Whether or not the north gate can be taken is the key to the battle of Puyang, so Yuan Shao led the most elite men and horses to attack in person, but encountered a strong resistance from Zhuang Shao's guerrilla army.
For a time, the battle situation fell into a stalemate.
Yuan Shao was angry and annoyed, but helpless, the north gate was personally in charge of Le Jin, the soldiers under his command were strong and strong, there were tens of thousands of horses, and they were all elite soldiers who had experienced several wars, and the weapons and equipment were also the most complete, Zhuang Shaoyou's army had a total of 600 ballistas, and half of the fleet went to Dayozawa, and most of the remaining half were configured here at the north gate.
Yuan Shao, who had suffered several big losses at the hands of Zhuang Shaoyou, also knew that he might not be able to take the north gate for a while, so he could only wait for the reinforcements to arrive tomorrow! Immediately no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the main force to be mobilized to besiege the general's mansion, but when he went in, the mansion was empty, and a bad premonition lingered in Yuan Shao's heart.
Where have the people gone?
At this moment, the scouts came to report that the men and horses who had gone to attack the city lord's mansion suffered heavy casualties and retreated.
Yuan Shao was immediately shocked, and then came to his senses again! scolded: "Damn Qiao Mao! How dare you betray me! Come! Gather the whole army and attack the City Lord's Mansion! Be sure to take the City Lord's Mansion within an hour! ”
The worst situation did not happen, if the general Zhuang Shaoyoujun who stayed in Puyang went to the military camp in the north of the city to be with the army, then today's things may not be as expected, and now people seem to be still in the city, then there is still hope!
In front of the city lord's mansion, Yuan Shao's army came one after another, the first batch of vanguard troops were lightly armed and simple, without siege weapons, and Puyang City was repeatedly attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and was broken into the city several times, but it was still strong, the city lord's mansion was obviously strong and abnormal, which was also an important reason why Tian Feng chose to drag Yuan Shao in the city lord's mansion!
Although Qiao Mao also has some small ideas, he is still self-aware, knowing that he can hold Puyang with his own strength, even if it is good, when the time comes, the general trend of the world will change, and then observe the heroes of all parties, find a good backer, come to the price and sell, and it is not a problem to mix glory and wealth, so for more than a year, Qiao Mao has spent his main energy on strengthening the city lord's mansion, not only has the scale been doubled, but even the palace wall and gate have been thickened and reinforced.
The Puyang area is densely populated and the land is fertile, as long as the city is not completely lost and holds on, the people nearby will always gather unconsciously, and there is a general shortage of food in these years, and the big war generally pays attention to efficiency and likes to fight quickly, so long-term siege rarely happens, which is also a little reliance on Qiao Mao's survival.
I don't want to be now but it's convenient for Tian Feng.
Tian Feng calculated Yuan Shao's idea of hoping for a quick victory, so he boldly risked his life, stationed himself in the city lord's mansion with Wu Liang, and made timely moves to attract Yuan Shao's firepower, as long as it dragged into a protracted war, the situation would be in a direction favorable to his side.
And Liu Dai's men and horses are limited, and his combat strength is average, Wu Kuang's five thousand iron cavalry is enough to defend the east gate, and it is very likely that he will even be defeated! Thinking about it, Liu Dai will definitely not spend money for Yuan Shao's plan, as long as he is slightly frustrated, he will definitely take the initiative to withdraw his troops, and when the time comes, there will be no fear of Yuan Shao's family!
If Yuan Shao dared to divide his troops to attack the East Gate, then the men and horses of the North Gate and the City Lord's Mansion would swagger out and eat the men and horses left behind by Yuan Shao! If Yuan Shao dares to besiege for a long time, it doesn't matter, as long as the general comes back to help in time, Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of horses and horses all have to be explained in Puyang City, and they want to go back to Hebei? That's not a door!
What Lejin and Tianfeng have to do now is to guard the north gate, the east gate and the city lord's mansion, and wait for Liu Dai to retreat!
Tian Feng and Wu Liang stood at the highest place of the City Lord's Mansion to command the battle, in fact, they didn't need to command, they just stood on a high place and put arrows down, and the grassroots generals were enough to command well! The view here is excellent, and even if it is night, you can see the battle outside the gate, and even the battle between the north gate and the east gate can be seen slightly.
Tian Feng smiled: "Director Wu, Yuan Benchu is a bloody capital this time!" ”
Wu Liang smiled: "Thanks to Qiao Taishou, a good craftsman!" ”
"Hahahaha~!"
……
Onozawa, Zhuang Shaoyou on the flagship stood at the bow of the ship, just ordered the fleet to attack, and did not give any more command, the specific battle is still let the generals at the grassroots level command well, the opportunity is rare, it is all about training.
The rear of the big island is also a reed, but the water thieves in the water village do not dare to set fires, because they are in the downwind direction, and playing with fire is an act of self-immolation.
Zhuang Shaoyou received a report that two small fleets took advantage of the chaos to leave the island, one to the east and the other to the west. Zhuang Shaoyou ordered to ignore it, and taking down the water village is the most important thing!
After the bed crossbow at the bow of the boat was fired in a volley, there was still resistance in the water village, which was a big surprise to Zhuang Shaoyou, looking at the heavy casualties of the brothers in the water village, Hu Sanniang's heart was like a knife, but there was nothing to be done, now it was the two armies facing each other, and there was no mercy.
After consulting Xun You, Zhuang Shaoyou ordered the attack to be stopped.
Xun You said: "General, it is obviously the leader of the bandits who escaped just now, and the water village is now leaderless, but it is still stubbornly resisting this, I think there must be some misunderstanding here!" ”
Hu Sanniang took the initiative to ask Ying: "General, please let Sanniang go and persuade you to surrender, don't do any more senseless killing!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou was not very relieved, but Mo Shisan on the side said: "General, please allow your subordinates to go with Sanniang!" ”
Xun You was silent and no longer spoken, of course Zhuang Shaoyou understood what he meant, and hesitated again and again before he reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay!" But be careful! Thirteen, no matter what, you must protect Sanniang thoroughly! ”
Mo Thirteen solemnly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The general can rest assured, Yu Gong and Private Thirteen will not allow anyone to hurt Sanniang half a hair!" ”
Hu Sanniang looked at Mo Thirteen with a serious face, and her eyes shot out of tenderness that she had never felt before.
A small boat was lowered on the flagship, and then the entire flotilla turned around and withdrew five miles away, showing the sincerity of the armistice.
Mo 13 rowed a small boat, Hu Sanniang stood at the bow of the boat, and sang with a voice:
"The great river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky join the Beidou。。。。。。。。"
When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he almost fell off the boat, what is the situation?
This is a local folk song in Onozawa, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the people around Onozawa will sing it, and such a majestic singing voice from a woman's mouth has a lot of taste of women's eyebrows!
The soldiers of the fleet all listened quietly to the curling singing in the distance, as well as the thin flowing water under the ship.
The water village also gradually quieted down, quietly listening to Hu Sanniang singing.
"It's the third master!"
"That's right, the three masters are still alive!"
"Great! The Three Masters are back! ”
The big boss died, the death is unknown, it is said that Zhuang Shaoyou and the second master conspired to do a good thing, in the name of Zhao'an, secretly instigated the water village infighting, which is the fourth master and the fifth master said it personally.
Obviously, this group of water thieves was deceived by the four masters and the five masters!
The death of the five masters of Shuizhai is dead, running and running, and now seeing the three masters, a hope suddenly rose in the hearts of the already desperate people, if there is still one person who can be trusted, then this person can only be three masters!
She's the big sister!
Accompanied by Hu Sanniang's melodious singing, everyone in Shuizhai responded unanimously, and they all sang alongside:
"Hey Yi'er, hi hey, hey Yi'er~ Lu saw that it was uneven and roared, when it was time to shoot, wow!"
The boat docked, and the water thieves in the water village could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts, and rushed forward one by one.
"Three masters!"
"Three masters! You're back! ”
"Three masters, I knew that you were blessed with a great life, and you must still be alive!"
"Three masters, it's great that you come back, the brothers will follow you to avenge the big boss!"
Looking at the brothers with unusual enthusiasm, Hu Sanniang, who had always been hippie and smiling, trembled slightly, and an inexplicable thing pressed on her heart and shoulders, heavy.
This kind of thing is called responsibility.
The little girl who dragged her eldest brother's arm all day long has grown up and matured!
