Chapter 332: The Decisive Battle of Yanzhou (1)
For three days in a row, the coalition forces outside the city were still stabilizing the camp and setting up horse rejection, and the west, south, and east sides of the entire Puyang City had been surrounded to death.
The joy brought by the birth of the son before has gradually faded with the actions of the coalition forces outside the city, Zhuang Shaoyou has not been able to enter Zhang Ning's door for three days, but the situation is tense, there are too many things to worry about, Zhuang Shaoyou has no time to coax her, let her fend for herself!
The coalition forces outside the city were busy for four days, besieging Puyang to death on three sides, although Zhuang Shaoyou didn't understand what the coalition forces planned to do, but the city was not idle, and they were strong and reorganized their armaments. Tai Shici's cavalry went out of the city at night to harass three times, but they fought the coalition forces in the south and east, while the main force of the coalition forces in the west did not move.
On the sixth night of the first month of August, when Zhuang Shaoyou finished handling military affairs, it was already past the hour, he lay down with his clothes together, and soon fell asleep deeply.
"Oooo
There was a rush of footsteps outside the house, Zhuang Shaoyou immediately woke up, got up and straightened his clothes and walked out.
"General Qiyu, Juye County has a message, two hours ago, Shouzhangcheng was attacked, Xun Taishou led three thousand garrisons to resist for an hour, and retreated to the island in the middle of the lake under the response of the second team of the water division!"
Zhuang Shaoyou was taken aback when he heard the news, Shouzhang was attacked? Don't even think about it, it must have been done by the coalition forces, and maybe there are other local heroes secretly cooperating!
"What about the number of enemy troops? How is the combat effectiveness? ”
"General Hui, the number of enemy troops is unknown, but according to Xun Taishou's estimate, it will not be less than 20,000 people, and it is well-trained, it must be an elite army!"
Zhuang Shaoyou gasped when he heard the news, and his face was cloudy: "Gather everyone to come and discuss it!" ”
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou hurried to the conference hall, and all his subordinates also hurried over without the slightest delay. Zhuang Shaoyou said straight to the point: "Everyone knows about the matter, what do you think?" Strategist? ”
Tian Feng touched his short beard and frowned and said: "General, according to the current situation, Yuan Shao obviously did not plan to attack Puyang after suffering a big loss a few days ago, and now capturing Shouzhang is also a ruthless move in one move!" More than 200 miles from Puyang to Shouzhang, there is a plain and a smooth road, and the enemy is outnumbered, if you rashly attack, you will definitely be besieged by the coalition forces! But if it is not saved, the connection with Taishan County will be cut off, and there is only one infantry division under General Wenpin of Taishan County, and there is no danger to defend, and the danger is abnormal! ”
Tian Feng's analysis is in one sentence, directly hitting the intention of the coalition forces!
Zhuang Shaoyou is also hesitant, to save or not to save? This is a conspiracy! Save it, there is a risk of being trapped, Puyang has few soldiers, if part of it is eaten, it will be really dangerous! But if it is not saved, Juye and Mount Tai will not be protected, and the two counties have 120,000 hectares of fertile land, which is millions of grains! If you go against the other and do the opposite, this battle will not be easy to fight!
The silence in the meeting hall was unusual, and everyone looked at Zhuang Shaoyou anxiously, waiting for him to make a decision.
After a while, Zhuang Shaoyou slapped the table and immediately ordered: "Tai Shi Ci obeys orders!" ”
"The subordinates are here!"
Tai Shici immediately solemnly stood out and knelt down on one knee to salute.
"Order you to lead the first cavalry division to rush to the aid of Shouzhang, you don't have to attack the city, as long as you can contain the coalition forces and cooperate with Xun Yu to complete the autumn harvest, it will be a victory! Remember, if you can't do it, you don't have to force it, safety is paramount, you know?! ”
Tai Shici immediately responded: "Don't worry, the general, his subordinates will live up to the general's trust, complete the task, and bring the cavalry division back completely!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou immediately nodded approvingly: "Sun Guan! ”
"The subordinates are here!"
"Order you to lead your troops to cooperate with Tai Shici to go out of the city!"
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Guan Hai!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Order you to lead the entire army out of the city, attack the South Gate Coalition Army, and attract the attention of the Coalition Army!"
"Subordinates obey!"
"The rest of the people, wait for you, follow General Ben to the west gate! Go ahead and prepare! ”
…………
The tent of Yuan Shao, the leader of the coalition alliance, was brightly lit, but it was surprisingly silent.
Although Yuan Shao's eyes were red and his expression was calm, there was occasionally a hint of nervousness and anticipation in it, although he pinched the cup with both hands and seemed to drink tea casually, but the frequency was really a little fast.
The rest of the princes in the tent were yawning for a long time, looking sleepy and depressed.
Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang yawned loudly, and then instructed the attendant next to him: "Go, get some wine for General Ben to refresh himself!" ”
Frustrated Zhu sat on Yuan Shao's side and closed his eyes to recuperate, but the Jizhou Mu Han Fu below had an extremely ugly face! Frustration was originally Han Fu's other driver, but now he was openly wooed by Yuan Shao, and Frustrated Professor ignored Han Fu's threatening eyes and sat directly beside Yuan Shao, and he didn't see any guilt.
"Shameless! No discipline! ”
Han Fu cursed in his heart.
Guo Tu, who was on Yuan Shao's right hand, glared at him hatefully, his eyes flickered, and he pondered for a long time before he suddenly spoke: "If Zhuang Shaoyou can't go out of the city, won't we be busy in vain!" ”
Frustrated Zhu glanced at Guo Tu obliquely, and said without yin or yang: "Zhuang Shaoyou must go out of the city!" ”
Seeing the appearance of Fu Zhu, Guo Tu's eyes were on fire, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "How do you know if Zhuang Shaoyou is out of the city?" ”
Frustrated and said lightly: "I just know! ”
Guo Tu was immediately furious, and just wanted to have a seizure, but he forcibly held back, rolled his eyes, and asked again: "Only tonight to take Shouzhang, Zhuang Shaoyou must be caught off guard, even if you want to send reinforcements, it may not be tonight, just because of your words, let the alliance leader, the lords, and the generals wait here?" ”
Frustrated and pouted: "Summer insects can't talk about ice!" ”
"You!"
Guo Tu suddenly changed color, got up and pointed at the frustration, trembling with anger.
Of course, subordinate competition is a good thing for the lord, frustration and Guo Tu are on the tip of the needle against Mai Mang, these days have been arguing, Yuan Shao and all the princes are in their eyes, but Yuan Shao has always held a laissez-faire attitude, and only comes out and dilutes the mud when there is a lot of trouble.
Tonight, the two of them quarreled too much again, and Yuan Shao could only come out and make a peace with the mud: "Okay, don't fight anymore between the two gentlemen, Zhuang Shaoyou is a big enemy, the two gentlemen are the wise men in the world, and it is better to think about how to win Puyang if you have kung fu!" ”
Guo Tu's expression was a little gloomy when he heard this, he snorted coldly, sat back in his seat, and no longer looked at Fu Zhu, and Fu Zhu continued to close his eyes and recuperate, looking like an old god was there.
Yuan Shao was secretly happy in his heart, Guo Tu was also a celebrity, but all of his intrigues were intrigues and tricks that could not be put on the table; And the frustration is a strategist who strategizes and marches to fight, the two of them are one and the other, complement each other, and have different uses! Moreover, Guo Tu is narrow-minded, and he will repay his eyes, while frustration is rigid and easy to break, and his edge is exposed!
"Very good! Very good! ”
Yuan Shao secretly evaluated the two of them in his heart.
The tent was calm again.
Seeing the time passes, the ugly time also passes slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it enters the time of yin.
The princes in Yuan Shao's big tent had already heard a snoring sound, Yuan Shao's eyes were bloodshot, and he gradually calmed down from the previous nervous anticipation, and when he heard the sound of beating outside, he frowned slightly.
Guo Tu's small eyes were rolling around, and when he saw Yuan Shao's expression, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he made a provocative remark: "Gonghe, it's all too late, why hasn't the movement you said yet appeared?" ”
Yuan Shao also looked at Frustrated Professor, and was a little shaken by Frustrated Professor's statement.
Fu Zhu slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's not dawn yet!" After speaking, he ignored Guo Tu and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
Puyang City outside the loose inside tight, the three city gates are all black pressed soldiers, a ready posture, Zhuang Shaoyou sat in the west gate of the city tower closed his eyes to recuperate, heard the sound of fighting, but was unmoved.
After another half an hour, Le Jin reminded in a low voice: "General, it's time to win!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, like a sleeping lion suddenly waking up, Le Jin trembled all over, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhuang Shaoyou reined in his essence, got up and said, "Ready to fight!" ”
At the darkest moment before dawn, the south gate of Puyang City was wide open, the former King of Taishan, the current commander of the Third Infantry Division, Brigadier General Sun Guan raised his arms and shouted after receiving the military order: "Brothers, raise troops for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, let's follow the general to eat and drink for so long, now is the time to serve the general!" Rush with me! ”
Let's say, Sun Guan took the lead, led a hundred guards cavalry to take the lead out of the south gate, and countless ropes fell from the south wall of Puyang in an instant, and the soldiers of the third division quickly slid down the ropes, one by one extremely skilled! Most of Sun Guan's third infantry division were born Taishan thieves, hunting and climbing in the mountains all year round, and they are used to walking between cliffs, and falling from the city with ropes is simply pediatric!
In an instant, the three brigades dispatched by the 3rd Infantry Division landed outside Puyang City, and the efficiency was amazing! One by one, they quickly followed Sun Guan and began to charge.
Zhuang Shaoyou listened carefully to the movement in the south, he was calm at first, but then he was a little surprised: "Why did Sun Guan move so fast?" ”
Hearing Zhuang Shaoyou's news, Le Jin was also very puzzled, so he hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and after a while, the scout reported, Zhuang Shaoyou was even more surprised: "From the city wall?" Jumping off the city wall of more than three feet? Crazy, right? ”
The scout hurriedly explained: "General, the third division is going down on a rope!" ”
When everyone heard this, Zhuang Shaoyou smiled: "It's really ever-changing!" This Sun Guan is like a thief when he fights! I like it, though! ”
Yuan Shao's big tent was full of shouts, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he was also a little uncalm, and he opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Puyang, looking puzzled. Guo Tu looked like a villain, but he didn't say anything sarcastic, and silence is better than sound at this time!
Suffer! Worry!
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, Yuan Shao suddenly frowned, and Fu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, Guo Tu's face was instantly clouded, and the princes who were snoring woke up in shock.
The scout skillfully turned over and dismounted, and rushed into the tent to report:
"Enlighten the Alliance Master! An army was killed in the south of Puyang City, with about 10,000 people! ”
Without waiting for Yuan Shao to speak, Fu Zhi eagerly asked first, "Is it infantry or cavalry?" ”
"It's infantry! There are only more than 100 cavalry! ”
Guo Tu hurriedly preemptively said: "Alliance Master, this is a suspicious soldier!" ”
Yuan Shao bowed slightly: "Act according to the plan, don't be careless!" ”
