23 Surprise Attack on the Three Mountains Banner Covering the Sun and Capturing Yang Jian's Tuxing Sun (1)
Outside the Sanshan Pass, the flag covers the ground and the painting corner is jointly operated. Countless Zhou troops seemed to come out of the ground, and appeared in front of Deng Jiugong's eyes without warning, Jiugong's heart sank, the Zhou army must have followed the moral people, otherwise it would be impossible to march hundreds of miles to the city without clues, it seems that this time it is really moving!
Deng Jiugong instructed the captain of the city to be careful of the city defenses, and to report to himself if there was any trouble, and then walked down the city wall with a frown and worry. Deng Jiugong was not afraid that the Zhou army would come to fight, but this attack was too sudden, he didn't know the reality of the Zhou army at all, and the pressure in his heart couldn't help but increase several times.
All the town troops of Sanshanguan shrank into Guancheng. If you want to defend the city, it is better to divide the troops into a part and set up a stronghold at the dangerous point outside the city, echo each other with the city, and contain the Zhou army, which is more effective. However, the number of Zhou troops who came this time was too large, and a large number of horses that Deng Jiugong hastily scattered had already returned to the city, and as far as they could see, there were no less than 500,000 Zhou troops outside the city! Even if possible miscellaneous labor was discarded, there would be more than 300,000 soldiers!
Deng Jiugong did not believe this information at first, and the Western Zhou Dynasty had only a large number of troops, and the total number of troops in the Sixth Army was no more than 200,000! It was only because of the excellent quality and geographical familiarity of the Zhou army that they survived under the pressure of the Shang army for so many years. Can 300,000 people come this time? They don't want Qishan City? You must know that on the Zhou-Shang border, there are three passes on the first line, in addition to their own Sanshan Pass, there are also Bishui Pass and Qinglong Pass in the south, and Han Rong of Bishui Pass and Zhang Guifang of Qinglong Pass have 100,000 town troops, and it is easy to take the empty Qishan City!
But it is precisely because of this that people can't figure it out and can't guess it! Is the newly succeeded Ji crazy?
Judging from the number of Zhou troops who appeared outside the city, the division of troops has become the next policy, and the enemy's abundant strength makes it impossible to talk about the word "containment". Deng Jiugong made up his mind to pay attention, pulled the vanguard general Tailuan under the tent, transferred the most elite team of scouts, and sent them to Bishui and Qinglong Erguan to report the emergency.
When Tailuan stabbed into the Zhou army's joint camp with three hundred elites like arrows from the string, Deng Jiugong climbed the city tower again and carefully observed the reaction of the Zhou army on the city. To the surprise of Jiugong, but in the midst of love, the camp of the Zhou army was disturbed by the sudden blow of only more than 300 people! Deng Jiugong looked carefully, although these Zhou soldiers were dressed in the same clothes, they seemed to be extremely unfamiliar with each other, and the generals of the Zhou army could only take care of their own little soldiers, and the adjacent subordinates could not move, and even several troops even ignored the orders of the senior generals!
A smile appeared at the corner of Deng Jiugong's mouth, and sure enough, it was impossible for the Zhou State to have such a huge army in a short period of time! The result of forcibly expanding the army could only make the quality of the soldiers decline and they would be vulnerable to a single blow! Looking at this batch of Zhou troops, the orders within the army could not be obeyed, and the laws were not obeyed, just like a plate of loose sand! Deng Jiugong sighed regretfully, if the whole army had attacked just now, maybe he could have won in one battle!
Tailuan was like a bamboo, and he had already penetrated the Zhou military camp, and a group of fast horses left. Deng Jiugong's expected moral man did not appear, Zhou Ying first galloped out a few men and horses that looked quite elite, lined up at the edge of the chaotic camp, and formed against the Sanshan Pass, and cut off Deng Jiugong's idea of sending troops to make up the attack, so after a while, the chaotic Zhou army subordinates gradually calmed down, began to clean up the battlefield, tidy up the camp, and did not seem to have any worries about the enemy messenger breaking through the siege.
"Daddy, what's the situation?" The crisp daughter's voice sounded in the ears of the pensive Deng Jiugong, and when Jiugong looked back, it was Deng Chanyu and Du Wei Kong Xuan.
This Kong Xuan has a mysterious origin, appeared in Sanshan Pass about three years ago, joined the town army of Jiugong, with excellent strategy, talent and martial arts, has a high prestige in the Jiugong army, and gradually came together with Jiugong's daughter Deng Chanyu, the relationship between the two is getting worse, and recently it is better to mix oil in honey, plus Jiugong also likes Kong Xuan, and the two have begun to talk about marriage.
"You guys are here, okay, Xuan'er, come, help me see this cause and effect. Jiugong saw the pair of wonderful people in front of him, and his heart was happy, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would recruit Kong Xuan as his son-in-law, so he called Kong Xuan "Xuan'er".
After listening to Deng Jiugong talk about the scattered situation and various doubts of the Zhou army outside the city, Kong Xuanying's very thin face floated with suspicion, his thin eyebrows were furrowed, and his slightly higher cheekbones than ordinary people made his sneer look even more mean, "Dashuai, I heard that after Zhou Wang Jifa succeeded to the throne, he favored a Taoist named Jiang Shang and worshiped him as the minister of state, this Taoist thought that he had some strength and connections, and even said that he would move moral people to provide cover for the Zhou army.
Speaking of this, Kong Xuan glanced at the chaotic Zhou army in the camp again, and said with a smile: "It's just that this Jiang Shang doesn't seem to know soldiers, he just thinks that he can win by relying on more, and he doesn't know that soldiers are the most noble.
Kong Xuan's words were exactly what Deng Jiugong meant, he smiled with his appreciation, and his expression became relaxed and proud, as for Deng Chanyu, who was by his side with his wishful Langjun, where would he carefully consider these conquests?
"Great commander! What Captain Kong Du said was mostly imaginary speculation, such guessing out of thin air, confusing the morale of the army, and the last general thought that he should be beheaded!!" A sharp and fierce voice penetrated into everyone's ears, and everyone nearby frowned.
The person who spoke was surnamed Sun, and he didn't know where he learned the thaumaturgy of the ground, and often made contributions with this technique, and over time, no one remembered the original name, and everyone called him "Tuxing Sun".
This Tuxing Sun is a natural dwarf, only four or five feet tall, like a child of seven or eight years old, probably since he was a child, he has not been treated well, discriminated against, suffered a lot, and his heart has rebelled, this person is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, insidious and mean, and everyone is disgusted when he sees it! What is even more helpless is that this Tuxing Sun actually fell in love with Deng Chanyu, the daughter of the Ninth Prince, and pursued it by unscrupulous means, making Deng Chanyu miserable, and he was so annoyed that he wanted to be killed with a stone! This incident became a strange talk and a joke in Sanshan Pass.
Since he fell in love with Deng Chanyu, he inevitably became a mortal enemy with Kong Xuan, and it seemed that this was fulfilling Tuxingsun's wish. He tried his best to slander and frame him in every possible way, but Deng Jiugong was not a negligent person, and he also knew a lot about this Tuxingsun's reputation, so he ignored it and let Tuxingsun touch the nail a few times.
But Tuxing Sun Nai is a paranoid, and he still doesn't give up, no, as soon as Kong Xuan finished speaking, he didn't know where he came from, and he objected loudly, and even asked Deng Jiugong to put Kong Xuan to death.
Deng Jiugong frowned and turned around, although he was extremely tired of Tuxingsun in his heart, but the enemy soldiers were approaching the city, and this moment could not let any soldier deviate from morality. Jiugong asked as kindly as possible: "General Sun, the Zhou army came suddenly, and it is already commendable that General Kong can make such a reasonable inference without knowing the enemy's situation, what is the crime?" Deng Jiugong suddenly noticed that the dirty body of the earthy grandson, a lot of fine dirt was still stuffed in the gaps of his armor and beard, Jiugong's heart moved, "Could it be that General Sun has found out the enemy's situation?"
Tuxingsun smiled proudly, and no longer entangled in killing Kong Xuan, he knew that it was impossible, just now it was just a matter of habit, and he casually stabbed a sentence, "Dashuai Mingjian, the last general just went to the Zhou camp to investigate, and also found the handsome tent of the Zhou army, and heard some news, just because he was afraid that the main general of the Zhou army would be protected by a moral person, so he acted rashly to startle the snake, so he did not assassinate the main general of the Zhou army!"
"Oh?!" Deng Jiugong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't care about Kong Xuan and his daughter's frowns, and asked eagerly: "What about the reality of the Zhou army?"
Tu Xing Sun was triumphant, and his voice rose an octave, "Yu Dashuai, the military situation is worrying! If there is no real investigation by the last general, according to Kong Xuan's statement, our army will inevitably be wiped out!" As he spoke, he glared at Kong Xuan with squinted eyes, and then showed a toad smile at Deng Chanyu, seeing Deng Jiugong's face stiffen, but he had no choice but to pretend to be smiling and wait for Tu Xingsun to continue.
"Marshal, the Zhou army has sent 700,000 troops this time! plus miscellaneous livestock, no less than 120,000 or 300,000 mouths, now not only my pass is tight, according to what the commander of the Zhou people said, the two passes of Qinglong and Bishui have been surrounded, and my pass and Qinglong Pass are the main attack of the Zhou army, and now the main general of the Zhou people is Jiang Shang, the prime minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the attack on Qinglong Pass is ...... But it's the traitor Huang Feihu's family!"
"Impossible!" Suddenly, a clear female voice interrupted Tu Xingsun's words, it was the angry Deng Chanyu, that Kong Xuan still looked as usual, not happy or angry, but Deng Chanyu couldn't bear it at first, "How many people are there in Xizhou? There are only three or four million soldiers in the full battle, how can you draw out 700,000 soldiers? It must be Jiang Shang's false banner, but you believe it, and when you listen to it, you will confuse the army's heart in vain, and you should be killed the most!"
Tuxingsun's face changed greatly, his anger rushed to the crown, and the hair on his sideburns floated up with anger, "Miss Cicada Yu, you are wrong, how can my Tuxing Sun be a person who is fooled? Then why can the Zhou army have 700,000 soldiers, it is the most critical point of the information that my Tuxing Sun has explored!" Although Tu Xingsun is angry, no matter how hard he is angry, Deng Chanyu just looks down on himself, but when he speaks to his sweetheart, his tone is finally gentle.
"Dashuai! Now under the city, there are indeed 300,000 Western Zhou soldiers, plus 200,000 miscellaneous livestock, and the Zhou army under Qinglong Pass is similar in size, only the Zhou army under Bishui Pass is empty, just a feint to contain it! The reason why the Zhou army has the ability to gather 700,000 troops is because the Western Zhou Dynasty and the northern dog Rong are united!!" Telling the riddle, the smugness on Tuxingsun's face returned, and he looked at Kong Xuan provocatively.
"How is it possible?!" Deng Jiugong was shocked, and he said in disbelief: "Impossible! The dog Rong and the Zhou people do not understand the language, they are different from humans and beasts, they have been at war and entangled for hundreds of years, and the hatred is as deep as the sea, and it is impossible to unite together!"
