Chapter 160: Yang Zhi Who Began to Take the Lead (II)
As night fell completely, Yang Zhi also returned to the City Lord's Mansion, ready to rest for the night and meet tomorrow's battle.
However, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, Yang Zhi still arranged for many soldiers to be on duty on the city wall, and at the same time, he also asked people to clean up and repair the weapons and armor taken from the corpses of the enemy soldiers and use them to arm those young people, so that those young people can also have a certain combat effectiveness at that time.
Yang Zhi arranged everything and began to sleep peacefully, but in the large camp on the side of the Swadia Kingdom, Count Dilynnard, who was the commander of the army, couldn't sleep, because in the siege battle during the day today, their side paid more than 2,000 casualties, but they did not make any progress at all, and even most of the muskets and artillery that had just been created were destroyed in the fierce battle. If we continue to fight like this, even if we fill in the remaining 6,000 men, we may not be able to capture this Jeerburg Fort.
If you can't capture Fort Jerburg, which is held at the intersection of this border area, you will not be able to enter the territory of the Nord Kingdom and support the remnants of the defeated army of the Sirona Kingdom.
In order to open the dilemma in front of him, Count Dirinard pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a way that was not a way, that is, to lure the enemy out of the city and fight on the vast field, so that his heavy cavalry troops could fully exert their power, and when the time came, it would be easy to defeat the more than 1,000 defenders of the other side with 3,000 heavy cavalry.
In order to lure the enemy out, Count Dilynard decided to direct and stage a camp roar tonight, making the illusion that the whole army would be defeated because of the camp roar. In this way, as long as the enemy generals still have a little meritorious heart, then they will kill out of the city and hunt down these 'routed soldiers'.
After making a plan, Count Dirinard immediately began to make various arrangements, so as not to make a fake show when the time came, so that the whole army really collapsed in that fake camp.
At about twelve o'clock in the evening, Count Dirinard, who had made all the arrangements, officially announced the opening of the big play, so in this quiet late night, the camp on the side of the Swadia Kingdom suddenly sounded a series of shouts, followed by many figures scurrying back and forth in the camp, and then even some camp tents were also ignited, causing even more chaos in the camp, and more soldiers scurrying around in the camp.
Just after the shift change with the comrades in front of him was completed, Guo Xiaoyun, who came to stand guard on the city wall, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, and after the surprise, he was ecstatic, after all, the enemy army was obviously roaring! At this time, if you take advantage of the situation, you can definitely defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop.
So he asked his subordinate Anthony to continue to guard the city wall and pay attention to the situation of the enemy army as usual, and he himself rushed all the way to the city lord's mansion with great excitement and woke up Yang Zhi, who was sleeping soundly.
Yang Zhi looked at the familiar little soldier in front of him, he was still a little confused, he always felt that the scene in front of him was familiar, and during the day, it seemed that this kid was also here to inform him! Could it be that this kid is really his own lucky general, and every time he comes, he can inform himself of important information.
After putting on the armor, Yang Zhi followed Guo Xiaoyun to the city wall, and found that the enemy army was indeed a battalion, and at this time some soldiers had already rushed out of the camp, and it seemed that the enemy generals could not control the situation completely.
Faced with this situation, Yang Zhi's first reaction was also to take advantage of the situation to send troops to attack and completely defeat the enemy army.
But just when he wanted to give the order, he remembered that in the so-called original plot that his lord told him, he seemed to have drunk the sweat medicine of the Chao Gai Seven because of carelessness, and then lost the escorted Birthday Gang because of this. And his own father-in-law always ridiculed him and the head of the Lin Sect as the unlucky No. 1 and the unlucky No. 2.
Although Yang Zhi doesn't like this title very much, but when he thinks back on the first half of his life, he finds that he is indeed very miserable, obviously from a Jiangmen family, and his own martial arts are not bad, but after so many years, the more he mixes, the worse he gets.
And with such bad luck, is it possible for him to encounter this kind of military feats that are almost for nothing?
After asking himself so in his heart, Yang Zhi raised the telescope again and took a closer look, but this time he saw that something was wrong, he remembered that there were many cavalry in the enemy army, but now after the roar of this battalion broke out, only some soldiers could be seen scurrying around in the camp, but not a single war horse could be seen.
After discovering this suspicion, Yang Zhi quickly deduced that this might be a ploy by the enemy army to lure the snake out of the hole, after all, people can accompany the acting, but the war horse is not so smart and can act together. So at the moment, in this fake camp, there are only soldiers, and not a single war horse can be seen.
Guo Xiaoyun, who was waiting for Yang Zhi, the main general, to give the order to attack, saw that the other party had not spoken for a long time, and couldn't help but be a little impatient, so he opened his mouth and urged: "General Yang, let's attack!" Don't miss the opportunity and come again! ”
After hearing Guo Xiaoyun's urging, Yang Zhi smiled slightly, and replied unhurriedly: "Attack!" No! We did not move, because the howl of the battalion was false, and the enemy was trying to lure us out of the city. If I'm not mistaken, the enemy's heavy cavalry troops have already been ambushed in the middle of the road under the cover of night, and when we go out of the city to pursue the enemy, we will be caught off guard by those heavy cavalry, and we will be defeated and lost! ”
"Huh?" Guo Xiaoyun couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard Yang Zhi's answer, after all, the Ying Xiao in front of him didn't look like a fake! This made him wonder if it was because Yang Zhi was too cautious and suspicious.
Yang Zhi naturally saw the suspicion in Guo Xiaoyun's eyes, so he opened his mouth to explain to the other party what he had just discovered and inferred.
After Guo Xiaoyun listened to Yang Zhi's explanation, he also checked it with a telescope and found that there was not a single war horse in the enemy camp.
"If you still don't believe me, I can give you fifty cavalry, you take this team of cavalry into the enemy camp to see for yourself, whether the war horses inside have already been taken away!" Yang Zhi smiled on the side and made a suggestion to Guo Xiaoyun, after all, there are no war horses, and it may be that those war horses have been burned to death, but as long as you personally enter the camp to investigate, it is easy to distinguish whether there are any burned war horse corpses.
And the mobility of the cavalry is also high enough, and it will be difficult for the enemy to keep this cavalry.
"Good! I'm going to scout it myself! In order to gain more military merits, Guo Xiaoyun chose to take on this somewhat dangerous mission, but he had already believed sixty percent of Yang Zhi's speculation at this time, so this seemingly risky move was actually not much of a risk in his own opinion.
On the other side, the soldiers of the Svadia Kingdom who were in charge of acting jumped up and down in the camp for a long time, but they didn't see the enemy open the city gate and kill them, which made them a little bored in acting.
However, just as they wanted to be lazy for a while, the north gate of Najerberg Fort slowly opened, and then a group of cavalry rushed out of the city.
Seeing that the enemy army was finally lured out, the soldiers of the Swadia Kingdom who were in charge of acting couldn't help but be overjoyed, and in order to prevent the enemy from seeing the flaws, they hurriedly continued to use their strength to perform.
But soon, the soldiers of the Swadia Kingdom realized that something was wrong, because after the enemy's cavalry left the city, they did not see the other troops leaving the city.
Before they could figure out what was going on, Guo Xiaoyun had already led the fifty cavalry to quickly rush to the front of the enemy camp, and then shot the rockets that had been prepared long ago at the places where the enemy camp had not yet caught fire, making the fire in the middle of the night burn even more vigorously.
Then Guo Xiaoyun and the others continued to release arrows, while rushing into the camp, quickly turned around, and after killing hundreds of enemy 'actors', they quickly began to rush along the same road to the outside of the camp.
"Sure enough, I can't see a single war horse, these enemies are quite cunning! I actually know how to lure the snake out of the hole! Guo Xiaoyun muttered quietly, while casually throwing out a grenade, blowing up a group of enemy troops who seemed to have reacted to the situation and wanted to come over to intercept them, and then without waiting for the other party to regroup, he led the cavalry to rush forward, waving the saber in his hand quickly, and harvesting the lives of this group of enemy soldiers with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.
Because most of the soldiers were busy acting, it was very inconvenient to assemble the troops, so after Guo Xiaoyun and the others found out the reality of the enemy army, they easily killed the big camp without even a single casualty.
Yang Zhi watched Guo Xiaoyun and them return to the city smoothly on the city wall, so he immediately asked his subordinates to call him and ask him about the details of the enemy camp, after all, his previous ones were always speculations, and if he wanted to determine whether the enemy camp was real or fake, he still had to ask Guo Xiaoyun, who had personally investigated it.
Guo Xiaoyun was soon taken to the city wall by the personal soldiers sent by Yang Zhi, and he also knew what Yang Zhi wanted to ask when he called him, so after taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, he quickly told Yang Zhi all the things he saw when he broke into the enemy camp. In the end, he said to him with admiration: "Why don't you say that you can be the general who leads this army alone!" This eyesight is more powerful than ordinary people! This time, if it weren't for General Yang, you had seen through the enemy's strategy earlier, we would definitely have been ambushed by the enemy when we chased it out with a black light, and then we couldn't see it clearly in the night, and it would be difficult for our army's firearms to exert much power, and in the face of the enemy's thousands of prepared heavy cavalry impact, even if it would not be completely annihilated, it would definitely suffer heavy losses! ”
And at the same time that Guo Xiaoyun reported to Yang Zhi what he had detected, Count De Linard, who had been ambushing in the grass on the side of the road with three thousand heavy cavalry for more than two hours, sighed helplessly after slapping to death another black mosquito that flew to his face and tried to suck blood: "Alas! I didn't expect the enemy guards to be so cautious, and I created such a realistic camp roar that failed to lure him out. ”
"My lord, maybe the other party's deployment in the middle of the night is relatively slow?" The captain of the guard on the side spoke to Count Dilynard and comforted him.
"Probably! Then let's wait another hour, if the other party still doesn't show up after an hour, then let's collect our troops and go back to the camp! Count Dirinard nodded, seemingly accepting this explanation from his subordinates, but he knew in his heart that this time the plan to lure the enemy had been seen through by the guards on the opposite side, and even if they continued to wait, it would be a waste of time.
