Chapter 36: Bait
It's just that the battlefield is indeed not a place where children and daughters are loved, and Lu Lei is domineering, and he rarely shows his feelings easily. So the brothers were only slightly sad and returned to the battle.
Lu Chen said: "Second brother, you have been in Naqu for so long, but you have found the weakness of He Guangqi?" How should this battle be fought, and what is General Mi's plan? ”
Lu Lei frowned and said: "Really no, needless to say General Mi, I myself have faced He Guangqi once, that is, Xuanying was ...... On that occasion, I brought 7,000 men and horses from the garrison point to support General Mi, and encountered an ambush on the way. It was also my rival in love, at that time, General Mi had already led his troops to surround the city of Nagqu, and most of their troops and captured cities were in the southeast of Nagqu, so I came from the west so I relaxed my vigilance, but I didn't expect this to be on the road, and thousands of them quietly appeared behind us. Fortunately, Xuan Ying found out in time, you know, I also brought a month of military rations, if something goes wrong, I can only apologize with death. ”
Lu Chen muttered: "In this way, this Heguang Qi not only guards the city tightly, but also has a good overall vision, can detect the direction of your support, can draw troops to sneak attack under the siege of General Mi, and the fighter is not weak." Have you seen this man, I heard that he is more than seventy years old, how much do Recy and Zhuo trust him? ”
Lu Lei understood what he meant, and said, "I've just heard that the people who led the troops in the past were all young people, and I have never seen him really make a move." Our spies didn't dive deep enough, they had only seen him from afar, and he was indeed an old man with a white beard, a thin body, and there was no more. As for trust, being able to hand over the big rear to him is enough to explain everything, and he is also a teacher who helped him seize power, and the discord plan will definitely not work. ”
Lu Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "They are now retreating into the city, and the cost of attacking is too great." If only I could draw them out......"
Lu Lei said: "Show the enemy weakness, I'm afraid that they will not be fooled easily." ”
Signaling Lu Lei to come over, Lu Chen said in a low voice: "No, before I came from Lanqing, General Zhao Chong and we planned to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly dig the tunnel to the city. But now I think if ......"
The two brothers whispered for a while, Lu Lei was even more impressed by this younger brother, a few years ago he just saw that he had stability and responsibility beyond his peers, but now he looks at it again, he is already a man who can take charge alone. patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said that he understood, and he would naturally handle the rest.
"At the evening reception banquet, some lieutenant generals should be introduced to you, all of them are soldiers, they may be more upright, but most of them are good, don't worry too much about etiquette." Although Lu Lei has been in the army for a few years, he came from a scholarly family, and his mind is more delicate than others, so he instructed Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, brother, I understand." When the war is over, you can go back to Beijing with me, my father, mother, eldest brother and fourth sister miss you very much. ”
Lu Lei paused when he heard this, and nodded silently. He has never been good at words, compared to the taciturn of his eldest brother, he is looking at the mighty and domineering, in fact, for his family and feelings, he cherishes, but never expresses it, in his opinion, 10,000 words are not as good as doing one thing.
But it can't be denied that after being away from home for several years, the word homesickness has appeared in his mind countless times in the middle of the night. Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and miss your hometown, which wanderer is not homesick.
"Okay, you can rest, I'll go find General Mi." Lu Lei Dao.
Ten days later, the city of Naqu.
He Guangqi hurriedly found Rexi and Zhuo and said, "You want to transfer troops out of the city?" “
Rexi and Zhuo stared at He Guangqi with blazing eyes and said: "Teacher, my people have found out that tomorrow Zhao Chong will send a batch of grain, grass and ordnance to the Mifei camp, escorting a team of about 6,000 people, the earliest Chen, the latest is not more than noon, and it will definitely pass not far from the south gate of Naqu." I'm going to take them by surprise and grab the supplies along the way. ”
He Guangqi said: "The source is credible? Don't fall for them. ”
Rexi and Zhuo nodded and said, "Teacher, rest assured, credible." The news came from Zhao Chong in the batch of captives that Ba Qing collected, more than one person has passed the letter to me, and depending on the situation, many captives should have been sent, if it is a bait, Zhao Chong is not afraid that they will turn against each other. ”
I don't know why, He Guangqi always felt that something was wrong, but for the time being, he really couldn't see the flaw, "I still feel risky, at this moment, it's better to be still." ”
Rexi and Zhuo said: "Teacher, we have no room to retreat. Zhao Chong in the east can't beat it, and he is connected to the Sichuan-Guizhou region behind him, and there is no shortage of grain and grass materials in the later order, so he can only go west, Mi Fei and Zhao Chong are still a grade behind, and they have besieged the city for many days, and they must be about to run out of food, and transferring grain and grass from Zhao Chong is indeed the closest route. I intend to send Yin Shi with 15,000 soldiers and horses out of the city from the south gate tonight, and ambush them in the place where they must pass to carry grain. If we can eat those things, it is naturally the best, if the news is false, quietly bypass Mi Fei's camp from the southwest, and destroy Mi Fei, we can avoid the trap of being flanked. And teacher, you know better than me about the situation in the city, although Zhao Chong and Mi Fei's strong attack in the past few days has not taken any advantage, but our consumption is not small, grain and grass can be replaced by beef and mutton, but ordnance is not something that can be made by anyone, and the spears in the hands of many of our soldiers are no longer sharp. ”
He Guangqi saw that he was full of confidence, and he had already thought about the way to advance and retreat, so he had to sigh and said: "I know that you are dissatisfied with the current situation, when several tribal leaders said that they would start an incident together but temporarily changed their minds, which caused today's situation. The stalemate is what we don't want to see, since you have the heart to break the game, and you already have a way to break the game, so let's try it first. Yin Shi is my most optimistic disciple besides you, and I believe in you two brothers. ”
Rexi and Zhuo stepped forward to hug and Guangqi and said, "The teacher has planned a lot for me, and I am grateful. If he succeeds in the future, he will definitely be a national teacher. ”
He Guangqi patted Rexi and Zhuo and pushed him away, "I believe in your ability, if you have any ideas, just do it." ”
The next day, when Yin Shi saw a large number of people coming from a distance, he looked at the deputy general beside him in surprise. Without saying a word, the two fists collided, and then began to wait quietly.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
With a deafening shout, the food delivery team looked up in fright to find that it had been surrounded by people, and it was unprepared to be beaten for a while, with casualties and looted supplies.
When Yin Shi returned to Naqu City from the south gate with things and men and horses, he saw reinforcements on the city wall. However, it was too late, the city gates were closed, and another siege battle was accompanied by the long arrows of the Guanzhong Iron Cavalry.
By sunset, hundreds of people had been lost and thousands of wounded had been lost.
