Chapter 176: Night Attack
With complicated thoughts, Zhou Yu re-entered the martial arts platform.
"Hey. Zhou Yu, why did you come so late? Don't you have diarrhea?" Duan Ling in the distance looked sideways, and there seemed to be something in his words.
Zhou Yu inevitably frowned slightly, and secretly complained in his heart, this guy is still so sharp-minded, and he coped: "No way, I ate bad stomach yesterday, so I stayed longer." Stepping in front of the crowd, he poked his head, swept the sand table, and asked, "But how are you discussing?
"Of course it's done!"
Duan Ling looked proud, then looked at Zhou Yu with a provocative expression, and asked, "But haven't you always been called the 'Steel Solid City' by your students?
In the school, he was tied with Zhou Yu and Yan Cheng, and because of their respective styles, he was given various nicknames.
For example, Duan Ling is known as the "Thunder Dragon King" because he has always been good at completely defeating the opponent with a storm-like attack.
Yan Cheng is known as the "Illusionist of the Gods" because he is good at using various means to confuse the enemy, and then make the opponent fail in a mess.
Zhou Yu was able to stabilize the front under the attack of the two, so he was given the title of "Steel City".
Now, Duan Ling brought up this matter again, obviously with the intention of provocation.
Although Zhou Yu wanted to refuse, the colleague next to him was curious, and urged again and again, so he had to reply stubbornly: "Okay, then let me see!"
Walking forward, he took a closer look at Duan Lin's plan, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, but he sighed lightly.
Seeing this, Duan Ling's heart tightened inexplicably, and a little jealousy rose, and he asked, "Did you notice anything?"
"Nothing, your plan is indeed good, if it were an enemy, it would definitely be defeated by you. Zhou Yu smiled, but his face was a little solemn, and everyone felt a tight look in their hearts, and he shook his head.
"It's justβ"
The elongated tail note attracted all the people in the group.
Duan Ling was even more anxious, and asked, "Just what?"
"Well, let's not talk about it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will be blamed by you. Zhou Yu began to play tricks.
He knew Duan Ling's character very well, and if he came to persuade him directly, it would only arouse the other party's disgust, so he adopted this method to attract the other party's attention.
"Hmph! You and I are colleagues, what is there to blame? But if you continue to do this, then don't blame me for being unkind to you. Duan Ling pretended to be angry and hammered Zhou Yu on the chest, and still asked.
"Okay!
Zhou Yu was relieved for a moment, and immediately pointed his finger at a red flag, the chess piece was Mao Renyu's troops, and he also said: "Regarding this step, don't you think this step is too risky?"
"Why?"
Duan Ling leaned in, he didn't care if someone else spoke, but if it was Zhou Yu, it was something that needed to be considered, after all, when he usually played against Zhou Yu, he was never able to break through the opponent's position, and of course, the corresponding opponent was also unable to attack, and it was always a draw.
This appearance made him a little happy, but he was also faintly dissatisfied.
Zhou Yu said: "If it were me, I would definitely not rush into action just because one or two armies attacked. Unless the other side loses at least half of its troops, it will be possible!"
"You mean three hundred, is there less?"
Duan Ling was stunned, although he felt annoyed, but for some reason he was a little happy.
Zhou Yu said: "That's right. Three hundred, not too much, not too little. If it was the Red Phoenix Army, it would naturally be able to do it. But let's not forget that they are not fully trained and simply cannot maintain basic discipline. If it were me, I would have to wait until you launched three attacks, and each time you sent three hundred men. In this case, your city's forces will also be weakened, and you will not be able to maintain the city's defenses. That's when I attacked. β
"A thousand, if it is a thousand, it is indeed unstoppable!" Duan Ling fell into thought.
But he didn't notice that this rebel army was not the Red Phoenix Army after all, it was far less tenacious than he imagined, if it was attacked by the Han Annexed Army, he was afraid that it would be directly defeated, where could it be possible to sneak attack.
"In that case, what are your plans?"
Raising his head suddenly, Duan Ling stared at Zhou Yu deadly.
Since the sneak attack was difficult to do, his plan would naturally fail, and a second set of plans was naturally needed for this, with Zhou Yu's caution, it was naturally impossible to be unprepared.
Zhou Yu thought for a moment, and then said: "Actually, my plan is similar to yours, which is to use the food in the city as bait to attract the enemy into the city and then annihilate it in one fell swoop. It's just that it's not Mao Renyu and them who are responsible for the sneak attack, it's us!"
"We?"
Duan Ling was stunned for a moment, and the soldiers next to him also frowned.
Indeed, in terms of quality, they were far superior to these rebel armies, but the number was only thirty, how could they defeat three thousand soldiers and horses?
Zhou Yu nodded and replied, "That's right, it's us." It's just that it's not just us, it's the ones who pick from the army and launch a sneak attack under our command. The number of people in each sneak attack is not large, only more than a hundred, so it is convenient to retreat. And the purpose is not to destroy the grain and grass, but only to harass the other party and put pressure on the other party. β
"What effect can this kind of bulging side play on?" Duan Ling was a little disdainful.
Although this kind of sneak attack can preserve his strength, it will inevitably take too long, and it is not to his liking.
Zhou Yu replied: "Of course it doesn't have much effect. However, it can be used to train soldiers, so that they can be more adapted to the battlefield, so that they will not be directly defeated by the opponent as soon as they attack. Now there is plenty of grain and grass in the city, so there is no need to worry for at least a month or two. In that case, why not give it a try at this time?"
"Okay, then take your plan. β
Although Duan Ling was displeased, many staff officers next to him agreed, and he was not easy to oppose.
What Chi Fengjun admires is the collective decision-making system, no matter how high his status is and how hard the background is, it is impossible for him to be tough with everyone.
This will only make your prestige drop faster!
"Brother Duan. This time, it was conceded. β
After Zhou Yu heard this, he was relieved in his heart, thinking: "This matter has finally been resolved." I just hope that there will be no accidents in the future!"
ββββββ
Outside the city of Handan.
Riding a war horse, Zhang Qi looked at the tall city wall, his eyebrows were already tightened: "What is the way this rebel army came from, and can it support it until now?"
He believed that he was the son of Zhang Hongfan, born in a famous family, and he was also a master of family tradition, so this time he was ordered by Zhang Hongfan to think that he could be caught.
Unexpectedly, after three months, the other party still couldn't stand.
This point made Zhang Qi quite concerned.
"You're new to the city, so you still don't know. You must know that according to my investigation, the rebels who occupy this city are Wang Shiyi and Mao Renfeng of Jize Township. β
Standing beside him, Kong Zhen shook his fan, pretending to be unfathomable.
"Wang Shiyi and Mao Renfeng, I already knew about this before I came here. Could it be that these two people have extraordinary backgrounds?" Zhang Qi laughed loudly, undisguised his disdain.
After all, in his eyes, Wang Shiyi and Mao Renfeng are just two old men who are nearly fifty years old, although they occupy Handan City, they are far inferior to themselves and even their father.
Kong Zhen replied: "These two people are not so exaggerated. But do you know that twenty years ago, these two people had come into contact with Xiao Feng, the leader of the Red Phoenix Army. β
"Red Phoenix Army? Xiao Feng"
Hearing this familiar word, Zhang Jue changed color on the spot.
Since he was a child, he had heard his father mention this person, and every time he shook his head, and now the Red Phoenix Army had defeated the invincible Mongolia in their minds, which made them even more frightened, afraid that this Red Phoenix Army would sweep the world like the original Qin Division.
The guards beside him also trembled, obviously terrified.
"That's right. Otherwise, where do you think the firearms they used came from?" Kong Zhen lowered his voice and threatened everyone.
Zhang Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but he began to regret why he had to risk leading the troops over in the first place.
"So, should they have the help of the Red Phoenix Army?"
After all, the Red Phoenix Army is not comparable to ordinary rebels, and at this moment, Zhang Qi has even begun to secretly wonder if he should retreat!
Suppressing bandits is small, but life is big!
He is now unwilling to bury his life for the sake of Mongolia.
Kong Zhen's eyebrows were gloomy, and he replied loudly: "I'm afraid it's like this." Then he noticed that everyone seemed to hear the news, and the whole atmosphere instantly became much lower.
Afraid that the group would lose their fighting spirit, Kong Zhen encouraged again: "But you don't have to worry. The Red Phoenix Army is thousands of miles away, not to mention that after a fierce battle, the country will definitely be empty, and it will definitely not be able to go on an expedition in the labor division! So as long as we plan well and take advantage of this time to deal with them, then everything will naturally be safe. β
"If that's the case, that's acceptable!" Zhang Qi exhaled turbidity, and the heart in his chest gradually regained its calm.
God knows how nervous he was when he heard the news.
Kong Zhen smiled again: "That's right, so we just need to follow the steps and completely seal the entire Handan City, so that it can't get food from the outside world, then they will naturally fail." β
When he said this, Kong Zhen's face looked a little gloomy, but he didn't have the slightest mercy that he should have as a son of Confucianism and a descendant of the Kong family.
"Oh, then do as you say. Zhang Qi cheered up again, looked at Handan City, and his eyes became sharp.
Although the Red Phoenix Army cannot be opposed, it is now necessary to start by dealing with you, and then grow up step by step until it is finally able to confront the Red Phoenix Army.
Zhang Jue secretly swore in his heart!
Kong Zhen also said with a smile: "And according to my calculations, in order to avoid the passive situation of cutting off military rations, the other party will inevitably send troops to sneak attack." His expression was grim, but he shouted to his subordinates: "So from now on, you must guard the military formation, and do not let the other party invade the military formation, you know?"
"The last will know!"
All the soldiers were shocked, and they all raised their heads and replied.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jue was also very happy, and replied loudly: "With your help, we will definitely win." β
The guns in their hands were erected one by one, all towards the sky, and the repeated gunfire also made everyone's cheeks red, thinking that victory was just around the corner.
ββββββ
The sun has not yet risen in the distance, and the early spring morning is extremely cold.
Under the cover of the shady scene, Zhou Yu had already led more than 100 people, including Mao Renyu, to lurk within a hundred meters of the Han Attached Army barracks.
He gathered his eyes and looked at the military camp in the distance, wanting to know what was going on inside.
Probably because it was not yet dawn, the soldiers who were always training during the day were still asleep and did not wake up, and the barracks had a suffocating silence.
Only in the erected brazier, there was still a crackling sound of firewood being burned, and the dancing flames also illuminated the entire barracks very transparently.
This situation is simply the best time for a sneak attack.
Despite this, Zhou Yu was even more nervous, and even his palms began to sweat, the more he was about to succeed, the more he would fail, this is his life creed, and today is no exception.
"Are you ready?"
Lowering his voice, Zhou Yu was afraid of disturbing the tranquility in the distance.
"Everyone, get ready!"
Mao Renyu also nodded, indicating that he understood, and then waved his hand behind him, the grass behind him was quiet, but they knew that in this grass, there were more than a hundred dead soldiers.
Zhou Yu opened his mouth, and the hot and humid breath condensed into mist, and the cold air in his lungs made his nerves vibrate, and then ordered: "Very good, then attack with me!"
Saying that, he rushed out directly, and the deep true yuan made his body like a whirlwind, even if there was a tall fence, it was difficult to stop the horse, and he fell into the military camp in the blink of an eye.
Pulling out the sword at his waist, Zhou Yu swung it violently, and the invisible sword qi swept out, immediately sweeping the brazier to the ground, and the fence used to block people and horses also "banged" and became fragments.
This movement immediately startled the patrolling soldiers.
From a distance, the sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of iron armor crashing, rushed towards this side.
Seeing that the bonfire was extinguished, Mao Renyu knew that time was short, so he immediately stood up straight, ran out of his feet, and rushed towards the barracks, shouting: "Everyone, come with me!"
In the grass, hundreds of figures suddenly stood up, and one by one they all rushed towards the military camp, and they also shouted "kill" in their mouths, just to be able to eradicate all the Han annexed troops in this military camp!
