Chapter 369: I Misjudged Your Misjudgment
The reason why Lao Liu is not good at fighting in the big army is that he was born in the wilderness, and he has too many years of soldiers and few generals, and he has no practical experience in commanding the big army to fight.
The middle of the family road made him not even have theoretical experience.
In addition, the psychology of having never fought a rich war in a lifetime and being poor also plays an important role in this.
Once the huge force that he had worked so hard to accumulate for half his life was in his hands, Lao Liu would subconsciously look ahead and look backwards, and all the decisions of the past would be thrown behind.
But Lao Liu can create this family business, and the advantage is also obvious - listen to persuasion.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't, someone under him will.
Therefore, whether it was Fa Zheng's suggestion to move to Dingjun Mountain, or now Zhuge Liang advocated to take Shangqi, Lao Liu Quan was as good as a stream.
This is quite a legacy of the ancestors.
Lao Liu did not hesitate to order, leaving 3,000 people to continue to besiege Qishan Fort, and then set up a large army and went to Shangqi.
"Huh ......" Seeing Liu Bei's army leaving, Gao Gang, the general of the Wei army in Qishan Fort, breathed a sigh of relief.
He was already on the verge of collapse, and he wanted to vote all the time.
It's a pity that Qishan Fort is an important stronghold of Cao Wei to defend the southwest, and the wife and children of the guard Gao Gang are all in the rear.
This traditional art of Cao Wei started from Boss Cao, and Cao Pi naturally wants to continue to carry it forward.
But...... If the reinforcements don't come again, he can't care about that much, and nothing is as important as his own life.
β¦β¦
Liu Bei's army passed through Xixian, and some officials in the county wanted to report to Guo Huai at night, but as early as Zhuge Liang expected, he was caught by the Han army who took over the defense of Xixian County before he left the city, and was beheaded and hung at the city gate.
Ambassador Guo didn't know what was going on behind him, and in order to intimidate the defenders in Ji County, he also launched two feints.
He Jiang Wei is a little bold, can the defenders still be like this? If they are all so backbone, why did they vote for the Shu army as soon as they saw it?
As long as he puts the pressure full, he will definitely be able to force the defenders in the city to collapse! At that time, he will give the head of Jiang Wei to him under the account of Ambassador Guo.
As a result, apart from leaving a few hundred corpses, these two feints did not yield any results......
After that, he tried to pretend to withdraw the army, trying to lure Jiang Wei to take the initiative, but the other party was not fooled at all.
On the contrary, the soldiers on their own side were physically and mentally exhausted by this extreme pull of withdrawing troops on the front foot and not withdrawing on the back foot, and they secretly cursed in their hearts.
I don't know if the pressure of the defenders in the city is full, but the pressure of the Wei army, which has been tossed back and forth, is almost full, and if you want them to fill it with their lives, I am afraid that their morale will collapse.
To be able to cause this result, the 2,500 people left by Liu Chan have made great contributions.
In particular, the five hundred Red Star Reserve members not only acted as the backbone of the defenders, but even used their time to tell others about the Red Star Army and the prince's deeds in addition to defense.
This was their usual favorite act of blowing water and farting, but it unconsciously greatly boosted morale, and even Jiang Wei listened attentively when he passed by several times.
"Envoy, it's not a way to go on like this, now that the morale of the army is frustrated, it's better to ......," the adjutant general said tentatively.
After all, anyone who has an army several times larger than himself in the rear can not rest assured, and he worries every day that he is surrounded by a large army.
Guo Huai glared at him, but did not refute it as he had done the previous times.
To be honest, he was also a little weak-hearted.
Although the arrangement was made in advance, there has been no movement recently, which is really a bit weird.
Why hasn't the Shu army noticed his movements until now? If you want to say that Liu Bei is careless, it is Zhuge Liang......
"Alas. Anyway, the order will go down, the fourth watch will make rice, the fifth watch will withdraw the army, the camp will not be pulled, and the fire will not stop. β
"Yes!" The adjutant general could not hide his joy, and immediately went down to give the order.
The reason why the cooking time was advanced, and even the camp cooking fire was not needed, was to confuse the defenders in the city of Jixian County.
At this time, he did not retreat compared to a few days ago, at that time he was afraid that the enemy army would not come out, but now he was afraid that Jiang Wei would see his intentions.
β¦β¦
"Captain Jiang, smoke is rising from the enemy camp."
"Huh?" Jiang Wei, who was still asleep, heard this, and immediately asked, "What day is it now?" β
"Four watches."
Jiang Wei immediately fell asleep, put on his clothes and went out in person, climbed to the top of the city to look at it from a distance, and sure enough, he saw smoke rising everywhere.
"Four more cooking?" He frowned, "Keep watching." β
"Yes!"
For the five hundred Red Star Army left to him by Liu Chan, Jiang Wei liked it too much.
These people did not discount his orders at all.
He ordered the enemy camp to be observed day and night, and the men immediately arranged for their men to take turns on duty.
He once said that all changes in the enemy's army must be reported to him in every detail, so that no matter what time or what he is doing, he will not miss it.
The most amazing thing is that these people are very smart, and they can understand his meaning very accurately, so that he feels that he will not have the trouble of talking to a rough and reckless man with a worried IQ in the past.
It was the first time Jiang Wei had this feeling of peace of mind......
Although the distance was far away and he could not see the specific situation of the enemy camp, he still found the problem on the fifth watch - the smoke of the enemy camp was still there.
The smoke has been burning for so long, why do you put this on the table?
Guo Huai didn't think that these slight time differences would arouse the enemy's vigilance, and was it so easy to stare at the enemy camp day and night?
Ordinary generals would not easily give such harsh orders that would be demoralizing, and ordinary soldiers would not be really stupid enough to strictly follow such orders.
It's a pity that Jiang Wei and the Red Star Army are unusual......
"Send some good men to get close to investigate."
"Yes!" As soon as the Marquis of the Red Star Army Reserve retreated from the city with his fists in his hands, he was going to take someone to go in person.
With less than a quarter of an hour left before the end of his duty time, he could have gone back to the camp to rest, but he didn't, and was much more energetic.
He needs a victory as a qualification to be promoted to the regular army! To have the opportunity to talk and laugh with the prince like a brother in private is something he has always dreamed of.
Two quarters of an hour later.
"Captain Jiang! The enemy retreated, and we were ordered to get closer, and found that most of the enemy camp was empty! β
Jiang Wei was surprised, and then he was happy.
Withdrawn?
In this arrangement, it is clear that he doesn't want to find out in time, so that the golden cicada can get out of its shell.
Then it can't be a fraudulent retreat, and they have already used the trick of retreating once, and if they toss again, the soldiers will have to mutiny.
Jiang Wei immediately judged that this time it should be a real retreat!
And Guo Huai hurriedly withdrew his troops, obviously his troops were several times his own, and he deliberately made this plan confuse himself, what does this mean?
It must have been His Majesty and the Prime Minister's side calling!
"Hurry up and prepare your horses, let's chase!" Jiang Wei decisively ordered.
At this time, if Guo Huai can be dragged so that he cannot evacuate in time, and he can fight with His Majesty's army, he will definitely be able to break the enemy army in one fell swoop!
There is no chance to be lost, and there is no room for foresight.
Jiang Wei only left his own private soldiers in case there was a change in the city, and then ordered all the men and horses, opened the city gate, and led the army to pursue at full speed!
Jiang Wei, who is still young now, has shown an amazing military sense and decisiveness, but he is still a little impulsive after all.
There was a slight deviation between the truth of the matter and his judgment, and Liu Bei sent troops to be true, but he did not come here.
"Kill ββ!" The young and hot-blooded Jiang Wei took the lead, ready to take his first feat, "Your Majesty's army has been launched, don't let the enemy escape!" β
There were less than 3,000 Han troops, just staring at the shining eyes, shouting and killing to drive Guo Huai's nearly 10,000 troops......
"Huh?!" Guo Yuanjun, who found the chasing soldiers in the rear, was shocked.
Liu Bei's army is here?! Why didn't the eyeliner that was set in advance report it?
For a moment, he suspected that Jiang Wei was cheating on him.
But if Liu Bei's main force did not move, where did Jiang Wei get the courage to abandon the city and chase after him with fewer enemies?
Ambassador Guo immediately judged the "truth" of the matter, and whipped the horse's ass in frustration: "Withdraw!" Evacuateββ! β
