Chapter 134: Bite or not
After nightfall, the Wei army, who had lost their aura from afar, was about to take off their armor and rest when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums on the city walls, shouting and killing the sky. They hurriedly put on their armor and held their sharp armor and ran out of the camp tent, and got on the horse and lined up. The whole process was flowing, which showed that even the soldiers in the garrison were well-trained.
After waiting for a while, the Chu army did not see the robbery camp. Only then did they realize that they had a trap and cursed and went back to rest.
On the second day, he continued to log and build siege equipment and built high mounds of soil in the north. Only 500 cavalry were sent around the city to prevent the Chu army from escaping secretly.
This time, Qu Xu had originally had the idea of a surprise attack, and his army only brought simple flying claws and bamboo ladders. However, after calculating yesterday, Qu Xu's psychological shadow on Cuiyu's army was aggravated, so he simply turned the surprise attack into an open attack. He did not hurry or impatient to prepare the preparations. As long as the equipment is complete, with his more than ten times, no, it is not difficult to defeat the city with eight times the strength.
I was busy for a day, and I arranged a vigil at night. Others fell asleep. As a result, there were gongs and drums and yelling and killing. Everyone was wearing armor and lined up again. Seeing that there was no movement in the city gate, I was not polite this time. All kinds of swear words were mixed with saliva. After fighting, it was too shameless to let people sleep.
After cursing for half an hour, the quiet head of the city could suffocate the ghost to death, and there was no one to say anything. The bored Wei people went back to the tent to sleep.
This time, he fell asleep, and even those who were guarding and patrolling at night relaxed, and found a place to take a nap secretly, or took a fewer trips. The early morning was the most sleepy and the darkest time. Wu Tao led 300 people to sneak out of the city, touched the Wei army's camp, set fire everywhere, and left three people in each corner to beat gongs and shout, creating the illusion of surround, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill in.
The Wei army, caught off guard, was scared to death. There were countless people coming for a while, and they thought reinforcements came from Yanzhou. They immediately lost the intention of resisting and fled in scattered.
Qu Feng was swept by his personal guards and ran for more than ten miles in his sleep. His robes were torn, his head was unkempt, and his face was so messy. When he was dawn to clean up the remaining troops, he had 3,500 people. The casualties were not serious, and he realized that he had been deceived by Wu Tao again.
When I returned to the camp again, the burned tents and military funds were fine. All the siege equipment I had just made was burned, and the food and grass that I had finally raised had also turned to ashes.
There are no equipment to rebuild. Anyway, there are many trees, but the food and grass are gone. How can people fight when they are hungry? Immediately someone wanted to retreat and advised: "Master, why not retreat to the north shore first and wait until the food and grass are again brought back before fighting?"
The whole country is short of food, and the food and grass for the expedition this time was specially allocated by Yuan Mulan. As a result, the city had not yet been put down and he went back in a mess. How could Qu Yun have a face to see Yuan Mulan?
"No need! I have my own way to break the city. I'll wait for it and follow the plan..."
When Wu Tao saw the Wei army driving thousands of people captured from surrounding villages as the front drive and staggering towards the city, his eyes were so sharp that he said angrily: "Qu Xu, treat the people like pigs and sheep, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"
Qu Rong said calmly: "These Han people are all wolf cubs and are not well-raised! The Great Wei garrisoned Jizhou for many years and was very kind to them. But when the Chu army came, they immediately changed their course and threw themselves into the new master. If they didn't kill them, would they still be left to pay you food?" As he said that, he raised his lips and showed a sinister smile, "By the way, didn't Cuiyu Army claim to love the people as much as his son? I want to see if you dare to disobey Xu You's military orders and shoot arrows to these ordinary people!"
The clean and clean city is not big, but the terrain is high and the gates are dangerous and obstacles. The Northern Wei Dynasty has been operating here for many years. The city walls are extremely solid and have complete defense facilities. There are 8,000 to 10,000 permanent residents. This time, because the time is too tight, it is not time to move the people of the surrounding villages into the city, allowing Qu Yuan to seize the opportunity.
When the Xianbei was unable to defeat the world, they did this. Since they decided to ping the city and unify the north, they rarely did such things that were angry and resentful in order to win the hearts of the people. Qu Yun had no choice but to be able to conquer the clean clothes and let down Yuan Mulan's high hopes. He really had no shame to return to Beijing, so he simply gritted his teeth and did this.
After all, there is only victory or defeat in a war, no right or wrong!
"Hahaha!" Wu Tao smiled at the sky and said mockingly: "The fang slave who eats dog feces, a short-sighted fool, do you think the Northern Wei Dynasty's Censorate is a vegetarian? Today, you dare to do such a big unjust thing. Within twenty years, the Yuan family will not want to conquer the hearts of the people of Jeju. The emperor of the Wei family is full of ambitions and has the ambition to swallow the world. You have ruined his reputation and mislead his great cause. The head has been sent under the sword and axe. Do you dare to quarrel and argue with my general? If the people are killed or injured today, even if you can capture the shabby, all the cities in Yanzhou will be defended to the death. How many days can you last with your three thousand cavalry?"
This statement immediately made a comeback. The Wei soldiers were in a state of great trouble. After fighting for so many years, this situation was rarely seen unless the crazy people were crazy. The most important thing was that everyone understood that the battlefield on the Eastern Front was just a restraint. The real victory or defeat depends on the situation in Luoyang. There is no need to use such a way to kill a thousand enemies and destroy eight hundred of them.
"Master, I think Wu Tao is a ruthless man. He will never sit idly by and watch these ordinary people climb to the top of the city. At best, they will have to rely on the bravery of their men, which is worse than..."
Qu Xu turned his head suddenly, his eyes were cold, and the heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't even say anything. He was so flushed that his face turned thick and his neck was thick, and he obediently retreated.
"Who else dares to argue?"
"Don't be afraid, the court blames me, I will take it with all my strength!"
"I don't think about it. What are the food and grass burned? More than 3,000 people eating?"
"The food collected from the village is only enough for three days. Why don't these Han pigs and sheep die and use your life to fill the moat?"
"The more Wu Tao said, the more afraid he was!"
"We must do what the enemy is afraid of!"
Qu Xu pointed at the generals, cursing his head with bloody curses, his eyes were bloody red, and his hysterical look was like a madman. He pulled out his waist knife, pointed at the top of the city slanted, and said, "Send the order to attack the city!"
The offense and defense of the clean cloth continued, and Licheng was not easy. Lu Bina, the lord of Jizhou of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Bu Tian had been in a row for many years. Everyone knew what they had to have today with their butts. No one dared to be careless and did not play any conspiracy. They did three games with the sword and the gun, and each suffered casualties.
The city is still there, but Bu Tian can't spend his energy to save the cleanse.
"Bu Tian, my millions of troops are approaching. If you are tactful and quickly surrender, you can still be granted a marquis' fief! Otherwise, you will cut off your head and drink today!"
"Bu Liugu, when your ancestors were eating raw meat and drinking blood, the ancestors of the Yeye family had already recited poems and painted. We are not all the people, and we can't pee in a pot. If you want me to surrender to you, how dare you have this big dream?"
Lu Bi laughed and said, "I said it many times, so I will take time to read books often. Bu Liugu is my Xianbei surname and cannot be used as a name. You are so close that others don't know about it, and I think you have a habit of breaking your sleeves..."
Bu Tian was immediately annoyed. What he looked down upon the most was the person who had children in the mansion. He stood at the top of the city, poked his body out half and said sarcastically: "Lu Bina, you are sharp-tongued and sharp-mouthed, not inferior to a woman. I guess there is no Yangfeng in your crotch. Do you dare to take it off and give everyone a long eye?"
Lu Bi's face was pale and didn't want to hate others who questioned his identity as a man. He was immediately annoyed, waved his hand and said, "Siege!"
Bu Tian said coldly: "Shoot the arrow!"
The war smoke ignited from the Eastern Front battlefield with various strange plans and saliva spray had little impact on the Luoyang battlefield. After Yuan Mulan stood firm at Huatai, cavalrymen successively captured five counties including Wating County, Dongyan County, Kuangcheng County, Xuanzao County, and Yangwu County. Together with Changyuan County and Junyi County captured by Li Boqian, all the counties north of Yuzhou were occupied by the Wei army.
The first thing south of the Ji River is the prefecture of Cangyuan in Yuzhou!
Cangyuan has five thousand defenders, all of which are the most powerful troops of the central army. This is the bait that Xu You deliberately left for Yuan Mulan, and it is also a hard bone that will cause the roots to collapse.
"Will Yuan Mulan take the bait?"
In the military department, several soldiers looked at the map and talked a lot.
"Our army has superior military strength, equipment, and a good base, and sufficient food and grass. However, the cavalry lacks, so it is impossible to encircle the main force of the Wei army. If we go out rashly, we will either chase the enemy's horse hooves and eat ashes, or be wiped out one by one by Yuan Mulan in the movement."
"So, we must first let the Wei army come in, and then lure it into attacking the strong city. If the attack is not successful, it will take a long time. Our army can calmly mobilize troops, cut off its retreat, and then encircle..."
"Then, why did Yuan Mulan insist on attacking Kuragaki?"
"Because the secret palace gave it an irresistible reason... Kuragaki, there are 100,000 stones of grain and grass!"
Luanniao personally presided over the intelligence work of this battle. There were two Mie Meng, five Dragon Croosters, and egret officials who accompanied him released thirty-seven people, accounting for almost two-thirds of the outer marquis officials.
Therefore, when Yuan Mulan learned from the information sent by Luanniao that Cangyuan had stored 100,000 stones of food and grass, it was impossible not to be moved.
But years of war have cultivated her unparalleled sense of smell:
Kuragaki, it's very much like a trap!
This trap is not clever, but often, it doesn't need to be too clever, it just needs to be effective.
Is it effective?
Just looking at the excited and indescribable faces in the lobby after hearing this news, Yuan Mulan must seriously consider the feasibility of attacking Kuragaki.
"Military Commander, fight! Didn't the information from the White Egret Officer tell me? The Chu army was still huddled in Luoyang and did not go out. With the speed of our army, we could reach the city of Cangyuan one day and night, but only five thousand defenders, and I issued a military order to break the city in two days!"
"Yes, military commander, in just two days, even if the Chu army wants reinforcements, it is too late. Cangyuan fell into my hands and had another 100,000 stones of grain and grass, which Yuzhou can determine."
"If we conquer Yuzhou, our army will take the initiative. In the east, we can manage Xuzhou, in the south, we can invade Jingxiang, and that blind emperor of Chu can still sit still?"
"A clever plan! When An Xiulin issued an edict and asked Xu You to lead the troops to rescue him, it just happened to fall into our plan. Ha, if Luoyang City was not strong and Hulao Tianque, his 200,000 people would not have stuffed our teeth."
Yuan Mulan pondered silently, and Xu You's bait was thrown out. So, can you bite it? The people under her command were talking about the truth. She was not afraid of a decisive battle with Xu You, but Xu You was very smart and able to bear it. She watched half of Yuzhou fall, and she sat in Luoyang to watch the fun, and refused to send troops and soldiers to help.
Only by laying down Cangyuan can one make a threat to Jianghuai, forcing the Emperor of Chu to mobilize Xu You to emerge from the turtle shell in Luoyang.
trap?
As a trap, you can catch prey, and of course, you can also catch hunters!
