No. 1316 Take the initiative to invite battle

The one in the city naturally refers to Chang Yu.

At this time, Chang Yu had already gone down to the city, and in the yamen hall, he was discussing with Wu Sangui and other generals the possibility of the thief army attacking the city at night, and after some argument, he felt that the possibility of the thief army attacking the city at night was zero.

Theoretically, if the officers and soldiers do not go out of the city at night, it is a good time for the thief army to advance the siege under the city, if the officers and soldiers will definitely send troops to fight before they join the siege, let alone attack the city, first touch the corner of the wall.

And Wu Sangui and others think that the reason why the thief army does not dare to besiege the city at night is actually very simple but very sufficient, that is, a team of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers is stationed in Tianjing Lake in the north of the city!

Bai Wang naturally found out that there was a large army stationed there, but as for the origin, it was not clear, which made him afraid, if the siege of the city would be surrounded, if he attacked the camp over there first, the people in the city would definitely not sit idly by, and the depth of the army stationed there was unknown, so he did not dare to act rashly and rashly to fight.

Therefore, before the thief army attacks the city, it will definitely fight with the officers and soldiers first, either in a hard fight between the two armies under the city, and then besiege the city after forcing the officers and soldiers back into the city, or lead the officers and soldiers to attack his position, so that they will suffer heavy losses and return in vain, and then he will take the opportunity to besiege the city, in short, he will first consume the officers and soldiers.

But does he have the strength?

Yes! Chang Yu looked at the table: "The strength of the thief army is just consumed!" He can guard that road by the mountains and rivers I don't know what year and month, but we can't afford it, we must go south as soon as possible to suppress the bandits and quell the chaos, he can't afford to consume the energy, so the governor concluded that he will not take the initiative to attack, let us attack first to consume our strength with the position, and then go to implement his siege of Wei to save Zhao! ”

"I'm afraid that by that time, his Zhao Kingdom will break the mountains and rivers" Ma Ke snorted coldly, everyone laughed, and Chang Yu shook his head: "Not necessarily, it is not so simple for Li Yan to break the city in a short time without heavy artillery."

Wu Sangui nodded slightly: "We can't wait any longer when everything is ready, and we will start a war with him tomorrow!" ”

Chang Yu heard that the sound of artillery was no longer heard outside: "Get up early to fight coolly, and strive to take the position of the thief army before noon tomorrow!" Seeing that it was not early, Chang Yu asked everyone to disperse to rest or gather their respective generals to mobilize and prepare for war.

Chang Yu was left alone in the lobby of the yamen to sit and ponder, stroking the tea cover with his hand, sometimes frowning and sometimes showing his face, Su Jing quietly walked in and helped him make water: "I have heard too many rumors about you along the way, whether it is an ordinary soldier or a general, you are like a god in your army, good at fighting bravely, how is it different from what I have seen with my own eyes, look at your sad face every day, how can there be the kind of momentum they say is invincible and swallowing mountains and rivers."

Chang Yu smiled slightly, took the teacup and drank it all, got up and said: "Young man, there are many things to listen to and see more, this governor will let you open your eyes tomorrow!" With that, he walked towards the back hall.

Su Jing was stunned in the local area, what did he call me, young man? I'll go! It's a lot younger than me...... What did he mean by that......

That's right, Chang Yu wants to go to the battlefield in person to fight with the soldiers, he has rested for too long this time, and even Li Muxian said that his heart has softened!

As soon as the sky was bright, Chang Yu had finished washing and began to put on his helmet and armor, Su Jing was holding a sword next to him and staring at him in fascination: "I really can't go?" ”

Chang Yu glanced at her sideways and said: "Although your martial arts are high, although you have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, you are used to seeing bloody wind and rain, but the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield are still unimaginable, there is not a single fight in the rivers and lakes, facing thousands of troops and horses, swords, mountains, blood and sea arrows are like rain, once you enter it, you are either a range hedgehog or a horse trampled into mud or chopped into pieces of meat, no matter how high you are useless."

The corners of Su Jing's mouth flashed with a hint of disdain: "I looked for you from behind a while ago, and I haven't met you."

"It's that you've encountered it, and you should know how dangerous it is in your heart" Chang Yu's tone sank: "What you encountered that day was just a thief army and it was too careless, even if it was already injured, if you entered the battlefield, you couldn't hold it for a moment!" ”

Su Jing still wanted to be hard-mouthed, and when he saw that Chang Yu's face was already angry, he didn't dare to say anything more, just at this time, Lao Jiu hurriedly rushed from outside: "Duke, the thief army has been lined up in the south of the city!" ”

Belch...... Chang Yu was stunned, and he was puzzled in his heart, last night he also asserted with everyone that the thief army did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and must first shrink into the position to defend as an attack, why did the people just dawn ahead of him and lined up outside the city to prepare to fight.

"How many are there?" Chang Yu turned around and walked out of the lobby and ran towards the city with Lao Jiu.

"At least 5,000 infantry, more than 2,000 cavalry......"

Good guy, big money, could it be that Bai Wang wants to fight with himself first and call each other as much as possible, if he is defeated, he will retreat to the position and defend as an attack?

"Wu Sangui, what about them?" Chang Yu asked again, and Lao Jiu said: "They are all gathering soldiers and horses to wait for orders, Wang Tizhong and Tu Yuan are ...... in the city."

Chang Yu didn't speak, and when he was about to arrive, he suddenly thought of something: "Lao Jiu, where is your subordinate Zhu Chongsheng?" ”

"The Governor said that stuffy fart jar......" Lao Jiu blurted out, Chang Yu was stunned: "What's the matter, stuffy fart jar?" ”

"Yes, that Zhu Chongsheng usually doesn't like to talk, he can't kick a p with three kicks, and he doesn't like to play with his brothers......" Lao Jiu said and saw that Chang Yu's face was wrong, so he quickly lowered his voice: "He is now in the camp, and the black wolf camp is now gathering near the South City Gate to be ordered."

"Pull him out, don't let him fight" Chang Yu snorted coldly: "The nickname of that stuffy jar, Bendu, if you hear it again, no matter who calls it, Bendu will give you a big mouth."

Lao Jiu hurriedly responded, and couldn't help but be curious: "Duke, what is the origin of Zhu Chongsheng?" Chang Yu glanced at him coldly: "Ben Du sees that you have itchy skin recently."

"No, no, no" Lao Jiu shook his head vigorously, knowing that he had crossed the line and asked something that he shouldn't ask, but he became more and more curious, it seems that this guy is really not small!

Chang Yu went to the city, and the sky was completely bright at this time, and the red sky in the east was destined to be a sunny ...... Hot weather.

At this time, Wu Sangui and Ma Ke also heard the news and went to the city, and Chang Yu arrived with their front and back feet, and they couldn't greet each other, each holding a clairvoyant mirror and looking due south.

The thief army has nearly 10,000 soldiers in two or three miles outside its position, and the two wings of the infantry are cavalry, which is Chang Yu's favorite and best battle formation. However, the other party's cavalry is too small, I'm afraid it won't have much effect, the corner of Chang Yu's mouth showed a trace of disdain.

"Lord Overseer, the thief army is a little abnormal" Ma Ke put down the clairvoyant mirror and grimaced: "Look at his posture, he wants to fight with us!" ”

"It's not" Chang Yu smiled coldly: "Since he wants to fight, let's give him a long memory, but our tactics have to be adjusted anew!" "Yesterday, Chang Yu and the generals decided that the thief army would not fight, so they decided to use the foot soldiers in the king's body as the main attack on the soldiers and horses, and Lu Daqi's Nanjing soldiers attacked from the west flank, but now the thief army took the initiative to invite the battle, so needless to say, the strongest team should be sent to teach the other party a lesson.

"The last general is going to fight!" Wu Sangui and Ma Ke did not hesitate at all, Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong Lao Jiu also squeezed over: "And we, the governor, give us some work to do, and if we don't go to the third camp of the East Factory, we will be looked down upon......"

Chang Yu didn't respond in a hurry, his eyes looked at Wang Tizhong, and a spirit in Wang Tizhong knew in his heart that no matter how to adjust his tactics, his men and horses must rush to the front, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I am willing to be the vanguard of the Chinese army."

Chang Yu nodded: "The generals listen to the order!" Wang Tizhong led 5,000 troops to attack from the center, Wu Sangui led 2,000 cavalry to attack from the eastern flank, and Ma Ke led 2,000 cavalry from the western flank......"

"Governor!" Before Chang Yu finished speaking, Tu Yuan couldn't help but stomp his feet! Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu also looked slumped, and their eyes were full of grievances.

Chang Yu glared at Tu Yuan: "The third battalion of the East Factory will attack from the middle with the Governor!" ”

Hey, everyone was stunned, the little eunuch was going to go to the battlefield in person again, and it was from the most dangerous frontal to meet the enemy, Tu Yuan and the others were overjoyed, and Wang Tizhong admired and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the middle road was the most tragic to face the enemy head-on, but if there was a little eunuch and his strong three battalions to help block the wind and rain, it would be much easier.

"Drum up!"

Chang Yu gave an order, and the big drums on three sides of the city were beating, and the sound spread for several miles, and the people of the entire Tongling City held their breath.

Subsequently, Wang Tizhong led his troops to send troops from the south gate, Wu Sangui and Ma Ke sent troops from the east and west gates respectively, and at the same time, Lu Daqi and others in the north of the city also gathered troops and horses to slowly move south.
