Chapter 791: The Battle of Luoshui (5)
While Qiuming was thinking wildly, the Marquis of Hefei also rushed to the Luoshui front. In order to avoid people's eyes, he didn't dare to openly swagger in front of people, and only called himself Hou Yin, the leader of the people, and mixed with a large group of other generals, and he didn't look particularly prominent.
After listening to Li Xu's cry, the Hou of Hefei did not make a sound with a gloomy face, and asked after a long time: "It's getting late today, I intend to camp and rest first, and then attack the whole army tomorrow to avenge Zhou Zhi and the cavalry." ”
Emperor Ling is mediocre, the world has suffered for a long time, and the Marquis of Hefei is not only the emperor, but also has the Son of Heaven to allow his brother to end his brother, so there are really a lot of heroes who came to join him, and he has been operating in Hefei for many years, and he has the help of Xu and Yang Erzhou Assassin History, and the officials in the southeast area are also more under his account. As soon as he finished speaking, Qiantang Governor Kan Ze immediately responded: "What the Hou Ye is very worried about is that now that Luoyang is empty, our army only needs to advance in a dignified manner, and there is no need to rush for a while. ”
Zhou Jing has been with the Hou of Hefei, and he also said: "Let's not make the mistake of attacking the enemy last night, let's wait until tomorrow to attack." However, Tyumen is scheming, and he must be careful that he comes to rob the camp at night. ”
Kan Ze said with a smile: "According to what Li Xu said, the enemy army is only a few thousand, how dare you come to rob the camp." We only need to make a little arrangement, cut off the Luoshui way back, and these thousands of people will be like sheep in the mouth of a tiger and have no return. If this is the case, tomorrow our army can easily advance under the city gate, and the Son of Heaven is isolated and helpless in the city of sorrow, so I think the only way to surrender is to surrender the city. ”
The Hou of Hefei was overjoyed, so he ordered Kan Ze to arrange a camp for defense, and ordered Ling Cao and Lu Dai to patrol the camp at night, just waiting for the army to cross Luoshui early tomorrow morning, and crush all the insects and ants that stood in the way into powder.
When Tyumen returned to his tent, the four men were still pointing and gesturing at the sand table. Qiu Ming said: "The opposite side is camping, and it will not be quiet for a while and a half, what if they stop and sneak attack?" ”
Chen Gong shook his head and said: "Our troops are insufficient, even if we can cause chaos for a while, it will be difficult to bring any damage to the other party, if we are ambushed, everything will be stopped, this plan is not feasible." ”
Qiu Ming saw that the other three people all had the same expressions, and said with a smile: "Okay, if it's not feasible, it's not feasible, I'll just talk about enlivening the atmosphere." By the way, did you come up with a result? ”
Tian Feng was frustrated and contacted Qiuming for the first time, and no one spoke first when he looked at each other, so Cheng Yu had no choice but to speak up: "Although it has not yet been finalized, it has been discussed almost." The disparity between our forces is so great that we must come up with a surprise plan to defeat the enemy. ”
"Tricks? Will the plan be settled? ”
Cheng Yu said: "Last night, we spent a lot of materials but only killed and injured less than 20,000 cavalry, so calculated, the 200,000 army will burn at least ten times like this, we can't afford to make up so many things that cause fire, and the enemy will not be stupid enough to crash into the fire one after another." ”
Tian Feng coughed lightly and said: "I just looked at the sand table, this water attack plan is also very ingenious, but the southerners are good at water, I am afraid that the casualties brought to the other party will not be too much, even if it can consume one or two hundred thousand people, the rest is to stand and let us cut, and we can all be exhausted to death." ”
Tyumen thought of the picture of 200,000 people standing straight and slashing to the point of softness, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but immediately asked: "In that case, what should we do?" ”
The four strategists spoke out in unison: "Loot the grain." ”
Looting food? Just now I said that you are unwilling to rob the camp, is there any difference in robbing grain? Regarding Tyumen's question, Fu Zhu explained: "The robbery camp needs to go deep into the enemy's formation, and the effect and risk are equally great, and when the army goes out, it will only carry a few days' rations with the army, and the rest of the food will be stored in a small city or camp, and only a small number of troops will guard it, so it is not difficult to break it." ”
Qiu Ming suddenly became excited: "What you said is like the black nest, right?" ”
Frustrated, he said suspiciously: "Where is the black nest?" I don't think I've heard of it. ”
Qiu Ming smiled and stopped explaining, thinking to himself that of course you haven't heard of it now, and when it comes to the battle of Guandu, I'm afraid that you will have to remember the black nest every day. Seeing that he was smiling strangely, and thinking that he had said something wrong, he immediately kept silent, so Chen Gong had no choice but to continue: "We captured a lot of enemy armor and war horses last night, if we order a group of cavalry to sneak across Luoshui and mix into the granary, it only takes a small handful of fire to burn all the enemy's grain stockpiles. As long as we can hold out for three days, the 200,000-strong army on the opposite side will collapse without a fight. ”
Tyumen opened his mouth a few times, and finally asked, "So, how do you know where their grain and grass are?" Also, we only have Zhang He's halberd soldiers and Ko Yi's crossbowmen, where can we find a team of cavalry to come out? ”
Chen Gong said with a smile: "Now that the water siege has been completed, there are family members over there to watch it, and the cavalry of the Yuan family can just move out to sneak attack." As for the enemy's granary, I am going to ask Zhou Tai to sneak over and ask Wang Ling at night, and it should be no problem. ”
Qiu Ming nodded: "If the grain and grass are really burned, the enemy army is bound to attack frantically, and strive to defeat us into Luoyang before the food runs out, are you ready?" ”
Chen Gong said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, although we have been prepared, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to resist the enemy in Luoshui. But fortunately, our purpose was originally to defend Luoyang City, and if we couldn't resist it, we could also retreat into Luoyang, and the two armies of Huben and Yulin with Yuan Shu would defend together, and it would not be a problem to hold for three or five days, and then the enemy would collapse without food, and all we needed to do was to capture the prisoners. ”
It was the night when the stars and the moon were dark, except for the campfire thrown by the barracks, and it was dark outside. Qiu Ming took Zhou Tai's hand and said: "You have to be careful in everything after you cross the river, if you can't find Wang Ling, you'd rather go back first, don't be impetuous." ”
Zhou Tai hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the county is only 200,000 people, and I can't spare Zhou's life, I will definitely be able to find Wang Ling and bring back the news." ”
Chen Gong explained the code and retreat route to Zhou Tai one by one, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Youping, go, go early and return early." At this time, Tian Feng said frustratedly: "No, the enemy camp is in chaos, could it be that someone robbed the camp?" ”
Qiu Ming and the others all looked at the opposite side in surprise, only to see that the camp of the Marquis of Hefei was sometimes deafening, and sometimes the flames were soaring, and it was a mess, like an apocalyptic scene. In the firelight, countless people and horses flickered, but they seemed to have no clue everywhere, as the shouts of killing became more and more intense, the movement became bigger and bigger, and finally from the beginning of a small circle of ripples into an uproar, the situation became difficult to control.
