Chapter 1031: I Have a Plan
Hearing the noise of war drums on the other side of Surabaya, Sun Jian's camp was waving flags, and most of the soldiers left the camp, Feng Kai was in a dilemma.
According to Xin Bi's plan, he should launch a fierce attack on Sun Jian's camp at this moment and flank Sun Jian with Zhu Ling. Zhu Ling has 20,000 people, and he has 20,000 people, and he has a certain military advantage to make up for the lack of combat power, at least he can fight for both defeats and hit Sun Jian hard. But now the situation has changed somewhat, because Gao Ping has not been able to go down for a long time, he has to transfer troops and reinforcements twice, and now he has only 13,000 men. Originally, it was thought that Wei Meng could quickly attack Gaoping and rush back to rendezvous, but Wei Meng never returned, and the gap in troops could not be filled.
The superiority in strength is almost gone, and the combat power is insufficient, do you still want to attack?
Feng Kai hesitated for a long time and decided to attack. This matter involves whether Yuan Tan can successfully kill Sun Ce, and he can only grit his teeth and insist knowing that he is going to die. The attack will cause great losses, but he has merit and does not attack, which affects the decisive battle between Yuan Tan and Sun Ce, and no matter how many soldiers he saves, he may not be able to save his own life.
Feng Kai ordered the drumming and commanded the soldiers of each battalion to leave the camp according to the pre-formulated plan. The drums of war exploded, and in addition to the remaining soldiers of the baggage battalion, 10,000 soldiers rushed out of the camp and launched an attack on Zhu Zhi's camp.
Zhu Zhi had already prepared and relied on the camp fence to defend it. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he was well prepared, not only erecting a strong camp fence, but also digging a wide and deep camp trench in front of the camp and introducing it into Surabaya, like a small city. Feng Kai's soldiers had to brave the rain of arrows to fill the trenches and force the attack.
The two sides shot at each other across the camp fence, arrows rained down, and from time to time soldiers were hit by arrows. As the attacking side, Feng Kai's losses were even greater, losing nearly 100 people in just one charge. Under Zhu Zhi's stubborn resistance, Yuan's attack was extremely difficult.
Feng Kai waited anxiously. At this time, he received another order from Xin Bi: Yuan Tan's siege of Sun Ce was frustrated, and Feng Kai was asked to transfer 10,000 men to reinforce Yuan Tan.
Feng Kai was so angry that he scolded. He didn't know who to scold, let alone who he could scold, maybe it was Manzhong, maybe Wei Meng, maybe Xin Bi, maybe even Yuan Tan. Anyway, he was panicked in his heart, and it was uncomfortable not to scold. How did the war come to this? Why did Man Favor want to work for Sun Ce and stick to Gaoping? Wei Meng has superior forces, why can't he capture Gaoping?
The most outrageous thing is that Yuan Tan has more than ten times the advantage of troops, how can he be frustrated? Also, Sun Ce was surrounded yesterday, why didn't he launch an attack overnight, and he had to wait until this morning?
Feng Kai scolded. After scolding, I had to accept the order to transfer 10,000 people to reinforce Yuan Tan. In order to gather enough 10,000 people, he had to send out all the 3,000 soldiers guarding the baggage camp, leaving 3,000 people to confront Zhu Zhi. Attacking has become a luxury, and it is not easy to stop Zhu Zhi.
As soon as the transfer of 10,000 people was completed, Feng Kai received another message from Cao Ang: Yuan Tan was retreating, and the situation was dangerous, so Feng Kai was asked to give up the siege of Sun Jian and immediately withdraw to the vicinity of Rencheng.
Feng Kai will be skeptical. He had a good impression of Cao Ang, but Cao Ang's news was too bizarre to be believed. It is barely understandable that Yuan Tan was frustrated in attacking Sun Ce, and it was too outrageous to be defeated by Sun Ce. The gap between the forces of the two sides is too big, although Yuan Tan is not a famous general, he is not a mediocre hand, he will not be defeated, let alone defeated so quickly. Moreover, Cao Ang has recently been divorced from Yuan Tanmaung, and he can't believe everything he says. Cao Ang's character is fine, but the Chen Palace under him is too bad to be guarded against.
Feng Kai ignored Cao Ang's news and led 10,000 men to the battlefield to reinforce Yuan Tan.
——
On the other side of Surabaya, Lu Su stood on a high watchtower, watched the changes in Feng Kai's camp, and then sent someone to send a message to Qin Song of the Chinese army: Feng Kai's main force has left, Zhu Zhi is enough to hold the position, and our battalion can attack at any time, waiting for the order of the Chinese army.
Qin Song quickly replied: Sun Jian had already gone out of the camp to attack Zhu Ling, but the men and horses sent by Zhu Ling seemed to be back, Sun Jian might not have enough troops, so he asked Lu Su to attack from the north side, stop the withdrawn men and horses, and buy time for Sun Jian.
Lu Su received the order and immediately led his troops out of the camp. His men were in the middle of the battalion, ready to attack, and now it was just a matter of changing directions. His camp was originally on the north side of the camp, and out of the camp, it went west to Zhu Ling's left flank.
Not long after leaving the camp, Lu Su met Huang Gai again. Huang Gai also received Qin Song's order, he handed over the task of defending Rencheng Cao Ang's troops to Quan Rou, and he led his troops to assist Sun Jian in attacking Zhu Ling, and his task was almost the same as Lu Su's, attacking Zhu Ling's withdrawn men.
Lu Su held the reins in his hand, and while riding his horse forward, he said to Huang Gai: "There is a plan, if the captain is willing to listen, he can make a great contribution." ”
Huang Gai glanced at Lu Su and was very dissatisfied with Lu Su's attitude. However, he is neither Zhu Zhi, Cheng Pu, nor Wu Jing, his seniority under Sun Jian is limited, and he has a good relationship with Sun Ce. Lu Su is a general invited by Sun Ce, and he can't help but give three points of thin noodles.
"Please also ask Zijing for advice."
Lu Su pointed to the distance with a horsewhip. "In order to besiege and rebel against the generals, Yuan Tan exhausted his elite, and even the most immovable front army moved, and the Chinese army must be thin. If the lieutenant can go straight into the Chinese army, take its baggage, and set fire to it, the Yuan army will inevitably be defeated. ”
Huang Gai's heart moved, and his eyes were a little more different when he looked at Lu Su. "Then can you stop Zhu Ling's withdrawn centaur alone?"
Lu Su smiled and squeezed his eyes. "It can't be too long, two hours at most."
Huang Gai couldn't help laughing, laughing and shaking. Sure enough, things gather by like, people by groups, Sun Ce is confident, and Lu Su he invited is no exception, and he actually wants to block 10,000 people with 2,000 people. But Lu Su's suggestion is really good, and it goes straight to the point. After burning the baggage, even if the Yuan army has more troops, it is useless. Once the morale collapses, it will be much easier to hunt down.
"Since this is the case, then there is Lao Zijing." The yellow cover arches the hand. Although it sounded funny and disobeyed military orders, he decided to take a look. If Yuan Tan's Chinese army was really weak, he would set it on fire. If it is difficult to overcome quickly, it is not too late for him to retreat and cooperate with Lu Su. On the battlefield, it is inevitable to be resourceful, whether it is Sun Jian or Sun Ce, he never asks his subordinates to obey their words, as long as they can complete the task, they can make their own decisions if necessary.
Huang Gai called a herald and asked him to rush back to the Chinese army and report his new movements to Qin Song. He didn't mention Lu Su, Lu Su just suggested, he was the one who made the decision, and if something happened, he took full responsibility. If he has made meritorious service, it will not be too late to give a part to Lu Su at that time.
Huang Gai parted ways with Lu Su and ordered his subordinates to advance at full speed, passing between the two large camps of Yuan's army, which were almost empty, and directly attacking Yuan Tan's Chinese army.
Waiting for Huang Gaibu to grab the front and gradually move away, Lu Su looked at Huang Gai's back, and laughed. He lightly kicked the horse's belly, swept past the advancing soldiers, and shouted: "Go at full speed, let Zhu Ling see the majesty of my Jiangdong disciples." ”
"Whoa!" Two thousand soldiers shouted in unison and began to run.
