Chapter 173: Zhan Wen Hire!
Huang Zu was shocked, and the Jingzhou Legion was shocked by this news.
You must know that the reason why they dared to besiege Fancheng unscrupulously was because they relied on Su Zhe to go north to resist Cao Cao, and the main force was not in Fancheng.
Huang Zu even thought at one time that Cao Cao was powerful and might have destroyed Su Zhe in one step and robbed him of the opportunity to avenge his blood hatred.
Therefore, he urged his soldiers to carry out large-scale siege battles continuously, in order to break through Fancheng as soon as possible and go north to kick Su Zhe's ass as soon as possible.
He never expected that Cao Cao would be so unbeaten, and the army of 30,000 would be defeated by Su Zhe so easily.
"Su Zhe's kid, what kind of ability does he have to quickly defeat Cao Cao's 30,000 army?" Huang Zu scolded in annoyance and shock.
Obviously, due to the lack of timely information, he did not know that Cao Cao was retreating without a fight because of a fire in the backyard.
After a moment of shock, Huang Zu took a few breaths, quickly calmed down the shocked mood, his thick eyebrows condensed, and pondered the situation in front of him.
He also killed Sun Jian, known as the number one general in Jingzhou, how could he easily lose his proportions.
As soon as his thoughts turned, he pondered, Huang Zu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Mingjin, the whole army collects its troops and returns to the camp." ”
Bell bell bell ~~
The sound of gold sounded and spread all over the four fields.
Wen Ping, who was in a hurry to attack the city in front, couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the sound of gold, and looked back at Huang Zu's direction, with a surprised face, not knowing why Huang Zu suddenly withdrew his troops.
The military order was like a mountain, and Wen Ping had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat.
Crowded on the front line of the city wall, tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops, their morale was suddenly exhausted, and they retreated like a low tide.
Moments later, a blood-stained Wenpin rode back to the Chinese army.
As soon as he saw Huang Zu, he asked dissatisfiedly: "General Huang, the enemy army is about to be unable to support it, give me a moment more, I will definitely be able to take Fancheng, why did General Huang suddenly order the withdrawal of troops?" ”
Huang Zutie blushed and said: "Do you think that the general doesn't want to take Fancheng, the scout sent back the news that the Su thief has led the main force back to the division, and it is only a dozen miles away from our army, if we are still buried in attacking the city, wouldn't it be that the Su thief copied our rear." ”
"Su thief back to the teacher?" Wen Ping was taken aback and questioned: "Didn't the Su thief go north to stop Cao Cao, then Cao Cao has 30,000 elite soldiers, how could the Su thief defeat Cao Cao so quickly and return to Fancheng?" ”
Huang Zu said coldly: "How did the general know that Cao Cao could subdue millions of yellow turbans, but he was so vulnerable that he was defeated by Su thieves." ”
Wen Ping froze in place, his face full of confusion, and he was suspicious for a long time, but he was still puzzled.
Huang Zu snorted coldly: "There's nothing to panic about, even if the thief returns to the division, he is only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and my 60,000 army is still afraid of him." ”
"What is General Huang going to do?" Wen Ping calmed down and regained his composure.
Huang Zu said proudly: "It is better for the Su thief to send it to the door by himself, the general will just clean him up in Fancheng, and after returning to the camp and stabilizing the army's heart, you and I will divide the army into two ways, you will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to clean up the Su thief, and the general will personally lead an army of 40,000 to continue to besiege Fancheng." ”
Huang Zu's decision has been made, which cannot be questioned, and there is no reason for Wen Ping to question it.
He was regarded as the leader of the young generals in Jingzhou, and Huang Zudu gave him 20,000 troops to deal with Su Zhe's 5,000 soldiers and horses.
So, tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops slowly retreated and returned to the camp.
At the head of Fancheng City, the Soviet soldiers who lived for the rest of the war looked at the enemy soldiers who suddenly retreated, and they were all dumbfounded, and they didn't react for a long time, and suddenly thought that they had a delusion.
The enemy army obviously has the advantage, and they are about to be unable to support it, who would have thought that the enemy army would retreat inexplicably under such a good situation.
A group of soldiers who survived the bloody battle were surprised and puzzled.
"Gan Xingba, you are really amazing, you have been holding on for so long, I still didn't accept you before, but now I can be considered convinced!"
Hu Che'er jumped down from the battlements, carrying a sledgehammer in one hand and giving Gan Ning a thumbs up in the other.
At this time, Gan Ning was also immersed in the surprise of the enemy's sudden retreat, and it was not until Hu Che'er's shout that he woke him up from his trance.
"Hu Che'er, why are you here, could it be that the lord is ......" Gan Ning reacted very quickly, and surprise surged in his eyes.
Hu Che'er waved his hand: "Don't guess, the lord has already driven away Cao Cao, and the army is almost in Fancheng, I came in early to report to you." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Gan Ning's eyes burst out but also surprised, and those soldiers around and left were not so excited that they cheered when they heard this exciting news.
There were even many soldiers who cried with joy and were so excited that they shed tears.
There is no way, who made them think that Cao Cao is strong, and their lord has no way to quickly break Cao Cao and rush back to save them.
They thought that Fancheng was already a lonely and dead city, and today it was almost broken by the enemy, and they all thought that they were going to die here.
Who would have thought that in this line of life and death, their lord would miraculously appear, force the enemy army to retreat, and pull them out of the ghost gate.
How can they not cry in ecstasy, and how can they not be grateful to Su Zhe.
Gan Ning came to his senses from the surprise and asked urgently: "Then Cao Cao has recently subdued a million yellow turbans, and his spirit is in full swing, how can the lord defeat Cao Cao's 30,000 army in such a short period of time?" ”
"The lord didn't do anything with Cao Cao at all, he had expected that the man surnamed Cao would roll up and get out of the house by himself!"
Hu Che'er used a tone of worship to tell Gan Ning how Su Zhe predicted that Yuan Shu would attack Yanzhou, how he did not eliminate a single soldier, and made Cao Cao retreat in a hurry.
After listening to this, Gan Ning couldn't help but sigh: "The lord is in Nanyang, but he is predicting Yuan Shu's mind in Huainan, this foresight is really extraordinary, no wonder he is so confident that he asked me to guard Fancheng, and the lord really didn't deceive me." ”
The soldiers on the left and right were also full of emotion, and they were all shocked by the wisdom of their lord again.
After sighing, Gan Ning condensed slightly, "Although Huang Zu has retreated now, it is expected that he will divide his troops to block the reinforcements of the lord, Huang Zu has 60,000 soldiers and horses, even if he divides 20,000 horses, it is not a small number, how does the lord plan to deal with it?" ”
"The lord didn't say anything." Hu Che'er scratched his head, but waved his hand again, "But you don't have to worry about it, how capable our lord is, don't you know, just guard Fancheng and wait for the lord to clean up Huang Zu." ”
Gan Ning's eyes were full of suspicion, and a sense of pride arose, and with a wave of the halberd in his hand, he said loudly: "Brothers, the lord has arrived, what else is there to be afraid of, let's guard the city and sit and watch the lord's good show." ”
At the head of the city, the soldiers who survived the bloody battle were in high spirits.
……
Ten miles north of Fancheng.
After the scouts reported that Huang Zu had suspended the attack on Fancheng, Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the whole army to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot.
Not long after the establishment of the village, as he expected, Huang Zu really sent Wen Ping to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, and went down to the village several miles apart, forming a blocking trend.
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
Listening to the report of the scout, Su Zhe said with a smile: "Huang Zu only sent Wen Ping to lead the army to intercept us, it seems that Huangfu Song's soldiers and horses all the way were not noticed by Huang Zu." ”
"Huangfu Song is good at marching in secret, and it's normal that Huang Zu didn't find out." Li Yan first agreed, and then said: "It's just that he only has 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but Huang Zu's army besieging Fancheng has nearly 40,000, even if no one stops him, relying on these 5,000 soldiers and horses alone, he wants to attack Huang Zu's Fancheng siege camp, but I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”
"In this battle, of course, it is not enough to rely on Huangfu Song's surprise soldiers all the way, it is still us who really determines the victory."
Su Zhe's voice fell, and he suddenly picked up the pen, wrote a book in a few clicks, and shouted: "Come on, send this war book to Wenren quickly, I want to fight with him tomorrow." ”
The order was handed down, and the soldiers left with the war letters.
Li Yan and Yi Ji on the left and right, but their expressions were shocked, and they glanced at each other, and there were concerns in their eyes.
Yi Ji said: "Lord, with all due respect, this Wen Ping is the best among the young generals in Jingzhou, according to my observation, this person's ability to use troops is even above Huang Zu, and he still has 20,000 soldiers and horses, four times as much as our army, we are fighting him head-on, it seems a little too ......."
The latter words were not finished, but the meaning of the words was already clear.
"Could it be that the lord has a clever plan to break the enemy?" Li Yan's eyes lit up and guessed something.
Su Zhe said lightly: "What's the trick of that, it's just to work hard with them tomorrow." ”
Li Yan and Yi looked shocked again, and looked at each other again, with doubts in their expressions.
Before they could say more, Su Zhe said: "I know what you are worried about, it's nothing more than that the enemy is outnumbered, but we have no choice, every day it drags on, Fancheng is in more danger of being breached, and only by breaking Wenpin head-on is the fastest way to relieve the siege of Fancheng." ”
The two had nothing to say.
They knew very well that the reason why Huang Zu stopped attacking today was because he had to temporarily withdraw his troops and redeploy when he heard the news of their coming.
Now Wen Ping led 20,000 soldiers and horses to block it, and Huang Zu still has 40,000 soldiers and horses, and he will attack Fancheng again tomorrow.
Perhaps, tomorrow's Gan Ning will not have such good luck, and the city may be broken.
If so, all their efforts will be in vain.
Tomorrow's decisive battle is imperative.
They no longer objected.
In the lobby, the atmosphere fell silent for a while, and Li Yan and Yi were silent, their thoughts racing, pondering how to defeat the strong with the weak tomorrow.
Only Su Zhe was as leisurely as ever, chewing broad beans and drinking wine, and he didn't take the fourfold enemy in his eyes at all.
It seems that he already has the certainty of victory in his chest.
More than an hour later, the messenger returned with a reply:
If you want a decisive battle, I will accompany you to a decisive battle!
Sure enough, as Su Zhe expected, Wen Ping had 20,000 male soldiers, if he didn't dare to accept his challenge, how could he be worthy of his reputation as a young military general in Jingzhou.
At that moment, Su Zhe took the case, flicked his hand, and said happily: "Pass the order, let the officers and soldiers of the whole army rest today, and early tomorrow morning, follow me to break the paperwork!" ”
