Chapter 928: Xu Huang led his troops to break through the siege
Indeed, it's really not that Wang Yan underestimated Lu Jian, and it doesn't mean that he can't look down on him, but Lu Jian is a person, and he is really not angry.
In Wang Yan's opinion, Lu Jianqi is a person with great ambitions and talents, and he has no self-knowledge, and he doesn't know what Lu Dao is Li Tong actually sent this person to Fangling to lead the troops, but because of him, he can be regarded as a smooth return of 15,000 soldiers under his nose, so it is really, there is really a need for such a person. Isn't it, such a person is a great disadvantage to their Yanzhou army, but for their own side, it is a great advantage, isn't it.
At this time, in Pang Rou's Chinese army tent, he was chatting with Wang Ping and the two, and as a result, he heard a report from the soldier, "Report to the two generals, and the marshal sent a quick horse to see you!" β
Pang Rou and the others didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly said, "Please come in!" β
"No!"
He and Wang Ping glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, it seems that there is something wrong with Fang Ling, or he doesn't need to be like this-
The two guessed accurately, isn't that the case? The two led troops to contain Lu Jian on the front line, to be honest, when Wang Yan sent fast horses here, there were really only a handful, and one hand was enough. After all, Wang Yan has an abnormal trust in the two of them, no matter what happens, he believes that the two of them can basically solve it, and they can solve it well, and they can solve it clearly. As for what really happened, he also knew it. Pang Rou and Wang Ping will definitely talk to him, so he doesn't care about the two of them at all, and all the power is in the hands of the two.
So there is something important over there in Fangling. Wang Yancai sent someone to inform Pang Rou and Wang Ping, after all, that side is actually more important, no matter how you say that these people are here to seize Fangling, not to contain Lu Jian. Let's be honest, both before and now. They didn't take Lu Jiantai seriously, yes, they were careless. They still won't. But if you really look up to Lu Jian, then there must be nothing.
is still the same thing, this can't be said that they underestimate Lu Jian, the main thing is. Lu Jian is not angry. So I didn't make people think that he was a dish, it was insignificant at all, and it was almost the same, at least he definitely couldn't be compared with Xu Huang in Fangling City, or in fact, it couldn't be compared at all-
After the fast horse entered the tent, he hurriedly saluted the two of them, and Pang Rou waved his hand, "Excuse me." What's the matter? β
He asked directly, if nothing happened. Wang Yan definitely won't let Kuaima come here.
So Kuaima told Pang Rou and Wang Ping about the previous incident in Fangling City. After finishing speaking, Pang Rou said to Kuaima, "You go down and have a good rest first, we know about this!" β
"No!"
Kuaima left the big tent, and then Pang Rou said to Wang Ping, "Zijun, what do you think of this matter?" β
Wang Ping smiled at Pang Rou, "Brother Heming, it seems that he Xu Gongming is really going to retreat!" β
When Pang Rou heard this, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "I don't know this, how can I see it?" β
Although Pang Rou also thought the same as Wang Ping, he still asked, because he also wanted to know what Wang Ping thought and see if he was the same as he thought-
And Wang Ping said at this time, "Brother Heming, think about Xu Gongming, if he really wants to withdraw his troops, it can be said that for our army, there is really no need to hide anything." After all, looking at our army's precautions against the Yanzhou army now, no matter what, it is impossible for them to catch our army off guard, and Brother Ming thinks, yes or no? β
Pang Rou nodded, Wang Ping meant that whether Xu Huang wanted to fight to the death with his own side or withdraw his troops, he didn't have to hide this matter. At least, they may not have known about the road before, but when they left the city, they still didn't know what they were going to do, so this matter was not a confidential thing, and it was not enough to say that it was hidden.
So since Xu Huang is at the head of the city and says that he wants to withdraw from the army, then basically this matter can be confirmed. Then he is going to retire from the army, and he has to prepare early, and Pang Rou and Wang Ping reached an agreement. At that time, if Xu Huang really retreated, then they would naturally have their own methods, and Lu Jian would definitely not get anything good anyway. If the two of them can't deal with him, it's really a mess in the army-
After the Yanzhou army in Fangling City rested for another day, this night was the time when Xu Huang wanted to lead his troops to break through, retreat, and abandon Fangling.
He had already made arrangements at this time, and the 10,000 soldiers were divided into four teams, breaking through from the four city gates, each team was basically 2,500 people, but this arrangement was not arranged casually, at least Wang Yan didn't know the bends in the road. And Shi Huang did give Xu Huang a suggestion, and it was also his idea, and Xu Huang also approved it later, so without Wang Yan's knowledge, Xu Huang thought that he might really be able to deceive him.
And Xu Huang also didn't know how many Liangzhou soldiers and horses were outside Fangling City, he thought it was 25,000 people, but he really didn't know how to do it, Wang Yan had 40,000 horses here, so both of them could be regarded as having things that the other party didn't know, so there was something to see.
Because Wang Yan has always asked his own Tanma to pay close attention to the movements of Fangling City, when the four city gates were opened, there were already Tanma who went to the big tent of the Chinese army to report to Wang Yanββ
After listening to the report of Tanma, Wang Yan fought directly. The heart said yes, yes, Xu Huang Xu Gongming. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. As for whether this news is true or false, Wang Yan didn't think it was fake at all, after all, Xu Huang had so many people out at once, could this still be fake? If this is fake, then the most false queen has to come true, after all, it is their own side that surrounds them, and they are so men and horses that they have to break through. And if they dare to retreat, their own soldiers will definitely take the opportunity to cover up the past, and then they will not have any advantage. Maybe you can let your own side capture Fangling at once, but it's not necessarily.
Wang Yan had just come up with a big tent, but he came to report to the horse, "Report to the marshal, and the Yanzhou army is from the four city gates." There were about 2,500 soldiers at each gate. There is Xu Huang leading troops at the east city gate, and he is breaking through the siege at this time! β
Wang Yan nodded, "Okay, I'll go over right away!" β
So saying, he hurried out of the big tent, and after getting on his horse, he went straight to the east gate. Wang Yan said in his heart right away, Xu Gongming, Xu Gongming. Tonight our army will be captured alive by you.
To say that Wang Yan is indeed very confident in his own soldiers, he thinks. Xu Huang didn't know that there were so many more soldiers on his side, and he thought that his soldiers were restrained by Lu Jian, so he was unintentionally calculated, how could he kill him by surprise.
But the so-called thing is, "You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder", although Xu Huang doesn't know about the Liangzhou Army, but he is not stupid, so the same, of course, he also calculated Wang Yan, so the two sides are just each other-
After Wang Yan arrived at the East City Gate, he hurriedly ordered the other three city gates to transfer troops to support here, he was dead set on today, and he wanted to capture Xu Huang alive, and the rest, for him, he didn't think it was important.
Therefore, the battle situation here at the East City Gate is the most intense, after all, Wang Yan has arranged a lot of people here, and he shouted before, saying that Xu Huang will be captured alive, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be 200,000 yuan. Even if he kills Xu Huang, he can be promoted to the next level and rewarded with 100,000 yuan. So when the Liangzhou sergeant heard this, many people went crazy. Yes, can it not be so, originally Hanzhong has always been very peaceful, and there is no war at all, so if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, there is no chance at all.
But now, there is indeed such a great opportunity, so the Liangzhou soldiers are all red-eyed, and Wang Yan can't squeeze in at this time. Who let him come from behind, when he came, both sides were already fighting, he wanted to step forward, there was no place for him, after all, the two sides were fighting fiercely now, and Wang Yan still wanted to step forward, but it was not so easy. But he didn't give up, as a marshal, although it was better to watch the battle in the rear, he still wanted to go to the front to kill the enemy in person-
Just as Wang Yan was rushing forward, he heard a Liangzhou sergeant shouting, "Xu Huang is dead!" Xu Huang is dead! β
When Wang Yan heard this, he frowned, and said in his heart that Xu Huang was dead? If Xu Huang could die so easily, he would not be Xu Huang Xu Gongming, and when the soldiers brought Xu Huang's body to Wang Yan, Wang Yan looked at it like this, and said in his heart that it was not good, he had been tricked!
Because of the "Xu Huang" on the ground, although the weapons and armor are almost exactly the same as Xu Huang's, but the person is not, although there are some similarities, but if you look closely, Wang Yan can still tell the difference, this is obviously a fake Xu Huang. As for the armor and weapons that were not used by Xu Huang, Wang Yanxin said that he was careless.
As a result, he hurriedly sent troops to support the other three city gates, the west gate and the south gate are better, and now the war is not over, and there are not too many Yanzhou soldiers at all, but the north gate, the soldiers reported, "Report to the commander, most of the enemy troops at the north gate have basically broken through, and our army has not resisted!" β
When Wang Yan heard this, his heart was finished, this Xu Huang must have run from the north gate, otherwise why did so many people run away from the north gate-
Wang Yanxin said that he was still careless after all, so this is drinking Xu Huang's foot washing water, otherwise how could it be so.
This time, he figured it out. Xu Huang chose to break through at night, just to confuse himself and his soldiers. Of course, his own soldiers can't remember what he Xu Huang looks like. Even I am not so impressed, so let alone others. And the fake Xu Huang on the other side is not only similar to Xu Huang in appearance, but also the basic identity of Xu Huang in terms of armor and weapons, so it is even more confusing.
Plus he chose to break out on the big night. As a result, if you don't look at the other party's words confidently, you can't tell if Xu Huang is fake at all. Don't say it's your own ordinary soldiers, it's yourself. If you don't look closely, you'll almost fall into someone else's way.
Wang Yan also had to say that Xu Huang really took great pains to retire tonight. If it weren't for Pang Rou, they quietly sent back 15,000 soldiers. Then the other party ran a lot more tonight. But also, he calculated himself a little, but why didn't he calculate him once, this can be regarded as a flattening, and he can balance a little bit-
In fact, this is the idea that Shi Jian racked his brains to come up with, because his general wants to break through, and he must let his side suffer as little loss as possible, so Shi Jian came up with such an idea with great effort.
It's actually easy to say. That is, first divide your men into four teams, each with 2,500 men. One of the teams was led by his own general. Of course, this is not a random division, but there is a difference, and this difference is, combat power. Shi Jian made it clear that those with the weakest combat strength, preferably the old, weak, sick and disabled, were assigned to the first team, and the weakest 2,500 people broke through at the east gate. And you have to find someone who looks somewhat similar to your general, and put on armor similar to that of a general, also holding a big axe, pretending to be Xu Huang, and then leading the troops to break through.
And his own general, wearing the clothes of ordinary soldiers, became a soldier, and led the troops to break through at the north gate, but the 2,500 soldiers at the north gate were selected from the 10,000 soldiers The most powerful 2,500 people, and then went to break through. As for the last 5,000 people, the combat strength is relatively average, led by himself and another lieutenant general, to break through the remaining West City Gate and South City Gate-
In fact, Shi Lian's idea is very clear, that is, to use the 2,500 soldiers at the East City Gate in exchange for the opportunity to break through the other three City Gate soldiers. Although Shi Jian also knew that basically not many of the two thousand five hundred soldiers could successfully break through, but for the sake of the soldiers of the other three city gates, they could only be sacrificed.
At the beginning of this idea, Xu Huang did think about it for a long time, but finally agreed. In his opinion, to be honest, using 2,500 of the weakest soldiers to contain a lot of men and horses in the Liangzhou army, to be honest, this business is cost-effective. It's just that he is indeed dripping blood and guilt in his heart, but when he is the main general, there is no way at this time, because this is the best plan at this time, or there will definitely be more people than this.
As a result, the implementation was a success. Wang Yan's carelessness, he had a preconceived idea that Xu Huang really led his troops to flee from the east gate, and as a result, he sent a lot of soldiers from the other three city gates to chase and intercept "Xu Huang", and those soldiers, but he didn't think about it, what if "Xu Huang" was not true-
And when he found out that it was a fake Xu Huang later, it was already too late, and everyone had really run away, but Wang Yan couldn't regret it.
In the end, he had to admit that it seemed that his side had the advantage, but in fact, he suffered a loss this time, because he fell for someone else's trick. Although he captured Fangling and forced away Xu Huang's Yanzhou army, Wang Yan was still a little unhappy, after all, he was tricked by others, and it would be strange if he could be happy. There are basically no people in the world who have the character of Cao Cao.
However, when Wang Yan learned that Xu Huang was going to break through and retreat, he had already asked people to report to Pang Rou and Wang Ping, so at this time, although the battle in Fangling was over, Pang Rou and Wang Ping were still at the beginning.
Pang Rou, who was in the tent, suddenly received a quick horse report from Wang Yan, "Report to the general, Xu Huang is leading his troops to break through at this time!" β
Pang Rou said, "Okay, you know, you go down first!" β
"No!" ββ
After the fast horse exited the big tent, Pang Rou commanded, "Someone! β
"General!"
"Go and invite General Wang to my big tent!"
"No!"
The guards went to invite Wang Ping, and Pang Rou said in his heart at this time, Lu Jian, Lu Jian, between our two armies, tonight is broken. Don't look at the people on Pang Rou and Wang Ping's side at this time, which are similar to Wang Ping's, but Pang Rou knows in her heart that her commander must be sending reinforcements. Of course, this reinforcement will not come to the infantry because it has to get here as soon as possible, but only the cavalry. (To be continued......)
