Volume 3 Chapter 87 Pretending to be a ghost
Murong Ziying led three thousand cavalry to leave with one blow, leaving behind a mess full of fire. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Murong Ziying just walked with her front foot, and her back foot fled back from the estuary in embarrassment. Strictly speaking, Budugen can't be regarded as a defeat at the mouth of the river, he was completely scared back by Zhao Yu's false strategy, after all, Zhao Yu has more than 3,000 people in his hands, and it is really difficult to fight hard to beat the tens of thousands of cavalry brought by Budugen, so after scaring Budugen with the night and firelight, Zhao Yu did not dare to pursue Budugen...... Honestly, I can't catch up.
And at this moment, when Budugen saw this camp full of sparks, the whole person was stunned.
What about the war horse!? What about cattle and sheep!? What about the grain!? What about firewood and grass!?
Not to mention that Budugen was in a hurry in the camp, here Murong Ziying was entering the city with three thousand cavalry. Lu Lingqi had been waiting here at the city gate for a long time, and when she saw Murong Ziying, Lu Lingqi stepped forward, and the two slapped each other on horseback, and then Lu Lingqi gave Murong Ziying a thumbs up and said, "This battle is beautiful!" ”
The deputy general followed behind Murong Ziying, with some unwillingness on his face, and when he saw Lu Lingqi at this moment, he hurriedly said loudly: "Commander Lu, now that the enemy camp is in chaos, should we ......?"
Lu Lingqi interrupted the adjutant general's words: "There's no need for that!" You used to be a nomad, have you forgotten how you spend the winter every year? In the middle of winter, tents, firewood, grain and rice, these are all indispensable things for the survival of your nomadic people, and now that your fire is about to pass, it is not a big matter how many enemies you can burn directly, what you really need to burn is tents, firewood, and food.
"Although there are many people and powerful people, they are a multi-tribe union, so when they divide all things, they are also based on the number of heads of each tribe, and they have nothing to do with each other, and there is even less such a thing as helping each other. Because in the desert land, if you give everything to others easily, you will inevitably die of starvation. And in the desert plain, it is not uncommon for various tribes to attack and kill each other in order to compete for things.
"Now it is the middle of winter, and seeing that the weather will fall heavily, your fire, you don't need to burn all the things of Xianbei, you only need to burn the things of a few tribes, then under the severe cold and hunger, the tribes of nothings will inevitably attack and kill other tribes in order to survive. Therefore, within ten days and a half months, tens of thousands of horses outside the city will inevitably kill each other, chaos and chaos, and then they will break themselves. But if you lead your troops to kill them at this moment, Budugen and them will fight to the death in order to protect themselves, and even take advantage of our troops to attack the city. We don't have enough troops, and if they find an opportunity to break through the gates, then we will lose more than we gain. ”
The adjutant general was stunned when he heard this, but it didn't take long to react. Just like Lu Lingqi said, this deputy general used to be a nomadic person who lived on the grassland, but now looking at the day when it is about to snow heavily, and then thinking about the situation when he has nothing to eat and no firewood to warm himself on the grassland in this weather, he can't help but shudder.
Lu Lingqi smiled and patted the deputy general's shoulder and said, "You still have a lot to learn!" I'll just tell you one sentence now, fighting a war doesn't have to be a real battle of life and death, and any condition can be the key to defeating the enemy. Like we are now, we are borrowing the sky to kill! ”

At the fourth watch, heavy snow fell.
At this moment, there are still some fires burning in the Budugen camp outside Chrysanthemum Harbor, and the city head of Chrysanthemum Harbor is also brightly lit. Lu Lingqi and the others were familiar with the habits of the nomadic tribes, and immediately after the first blow was successful, they ordered the defenders of Chrysanthemum Harbor to strengthen their garrison overnight, and strictly prevent Bu Dugen from leading the army to desperately seize the pass.
The next situation was just as Lu Lingqi explained to the lieutenant general, the fire in the Budugen camp was finally barely extinguished after burning for a long time. However, before the wind and snow stopped, there was a vicious incident in Budugen's camp in which the tribes that had burned all their daily necessities went to rob other tribes that were not much damaged.
The nomads in the desert plain are fierce, which means that the tribes who have been robbed of supplies will not give up, and as soon as they are robbed, they will organize people and horses to fight back or counter-rob, so this trouble will become difficult to clean up, and the entire camp of Budugen is looting and fighting almost everywhere.
At the moment, no matter which tribe, it is likely that it will not survive this early spring when the end of winter and the cold are still severe, and at the moment of life and death, who will pay attention to the orders issued by Kebineng?
When encountering the tribal patriarch who was a little more ruthless and had sufficient strength at hand, he simply defied Budugen's order in a clear way, and even publicly accused Budugen, the leader of the tribe, of not reaping any benefits in Chrysanthemum Harbor, but to the point of losing all the clans' family resources, Budugen could only be helpless about it...... It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Without radishes in hand, a stick alone cannot subdue these fierce nomadic tribes.
All in all, the entire Budugen Group has been messed up, and it can't be messed up anymore.
Walk? They couldn't go, because the heavy snow blocked their way back to the grassland, and if they didn't have enough supplies, then they could only leave because they died of cold and starvation on the road, and the worst thing was that their horses, cattle and sheep ran away in the night. They are people, and the absence of horses is basically equivalent to the loss of legs and feet;
Beat? If they can't fight, they won't be squatting here anymore. The garrison of Chrysanthemum Harbor is so tight, will they have no bottom in their hearts? When they first came to the battle, they couldn't beat it down, and now that the morale is low, it can't be defeated.
What's even more amazing is that Lu Lingqi also played a hand at this time, that is, no matter whether Budugen came to attack the city or not, the artillery facing the Budugen camp would fire dozens of cannons in the direction of the Budugen camp from a distance if there was anything to do.
With the current firing range of the Yizhou artillery, these dozens of artillery can't hit the big battalion of Budugen at all, but the dozens of big craters left outside the Budugen camp are still no problem. This time, it frightened the men and horses under Bu Dugen's command, because it reminded them of the tens of thousands of "spring thunders" that Murong Ziying's three thousand cavalry threw in their camp that night.
Many people remember that night, some unlucky Xianbei soldiers happened to be shot by the Spring Thunder Arrow, and before they could react to what was going on, they were blown apart by the Spring Thunder Arrow, and the horror caused by the tragic situation has been deeply engraved in the depths of their souls. The power of artillery shells is far above the "Spring Thunder", and it has been repeatedly powerful in previous battles, and the nomadic cavalry was already frightened in their hearts, and then connected with the "Spring Thunder"......
But most people have a problem of liking gossip, and they will spread the matter more and more in the spread of gossip, and after this kind of thing spreads in the Xianbei camp, almost everyone has an inexplicable fear of the firearm turned off by Juyong. At this time, look at the craters left by the artillery, and then try to imagine that if you are hit by this thing, the less timid will shiver, and the more courageous will not help but feel a chill.
In this way, Budugen's army could not advance or retreat, and many tribes could only stretch out their hands to other tribes in the same camp in order to survive, and gnawed the grass on the edge of the nest......

Yizhou, Mangjia.
At this time, Lu Ren had already received a telegram from Lu Lingqi and Zhao Yu, and learned about the current battle situation in Chrysanthemum Port. After reading it carefully, Lu Renle handed the letter to Xun Yu and said with a smile: "Yu Yatou and Ling Ya are really beautiful!" ”
Xun Yu has participated in some work in Yizhou in recent years, so he knows quite well the power of the spring thunder produced in Yizhou, and said with a smile after reading the letter: "60,000 spring thunder, not to mention the Xianbei camp of tens of thousands of people, even ordinary hills can blow up several of them, and it is simply overkill to set fire to them." ”
Lu Ren spread his hands: "Didn't I consider that this fire should be put in the snow, and light action should be given priority?" Otherwise, let Murong Ziying and them bring a thousand handfuls of alcohol to burn/burn/bomb, and it will be almost the same if I touch it. However, the weight and volume of burning/burning/bombing are high, and a cavalry can't bring a few, and it can't be thrown far by arm strength alone, so at the moment, only the feather arrows tied to the spring thunder are more suitable, but really speaking, the spring thunder is not specially used to set fire. In order to be foolproof, they can only let them bring as many points and shoot as many points as possible. ”
Xun Yu stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "This fire has been put like this, it is useless to talk about this matter, what I am worried about is ...... Yihao, although the rain girl and they fought a beautiful battle, destroying a lot of money, food, and military supplies of Budugen, making it difficult for Budugen to advance and retreat, but the dog will still jump over the wall when he is in a hurry, not to mention that the tens of thousands of horses in Budugen are wolves on the grassland. Now that they have lost their food, grass and military supplies, the wild wolf will become a hungry and red-eyed fierce wolf. But these tens of thousands of horses know that it is difficult to survive, and they have the intention of fighting against the water to attack the city desperately, and they are afraid that they will also suffer a big loss, right? ”
Lu Ren was stunned, then nodded and muttered, "This is it!" If the tens of thousands of people in Budugen were all desperate to find the rain girl and play with them, it would be really troublesome. If it were me, I was about to starve to death and freeze to death, and if I think about it, I would die anyway, so I might as well fight hard, maybe I would have a way to live? ”
Xun Yu said: "Gan Xingba and Deng Shizai are not too far from Chrysanthemum Port, how about letting them board the ship in the starry night to help?" With our shipping strength in Yizhou, it can be arrived in five days at most. ”
Lu Ren nodded again, after all, only this force can be transferred over at present, but Lu Ren always feels that it doesn't seem to be a taste if he just transfers reinforcements. Just like Xun Yu just said, now the tens of thousands of horses outside Chrysanthemum Harbor have become hungry wolves with nothing to eat, and how fierce are the hungry wolves? More than 20,000 people from Deng Ai and Gan Ning drove over, and when they encountered such a large group of vicious wolves, it would become a vicious battle to fight for people's heads, which was not something Lu Ren wanted to see, after all, there was still a battle in Liaodong to fight behind.
With such a bit of worry, Lu Ren read the telegram sent back by Zhao Yu and them again and again. I don't know how long I watched it, Lu Ren suddenly slapped his head and laughed at himself: "Look at my foolishness!" I didn't plan to fight hard with Budugen, the original plan was to let the rain girl and them contain Budugen in Liaoxi, and not let Budugen join forces with Liaodong......"
Xun Yu continued: "You can't be blamed for this. As the tide of battle changes, so do the decisions you make. Your original intention is certainly good, but Budugen is menacing, and the Chrysanthemum Harbor has gradually become the current main battlefield, and the rain girls will definitely not be able to contain their simple containment. On the other hand, if you can destroy the root of Budugen in this battle, it will be tantamount to breaking one of Liaodong's arms, and it will also be a good thing for your next plan. ”
Lu Ren hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that." Hey, what should I say, I was a little confused just now, and what I wanted to say was a bit messy. I originally wanted to say that this guy was going to destroy him, but these tens of thousands of people didn't have to be destroyed. And for a long time, for the tribes of Xianbei and so on, we have always been mainly wooing. ”
Xun Yu also understood, and said lightly: "Indeed, the recent battle has been too fierce, so much so that I forgot about it." It's just Yihao, the previous Kebineng, and the current Budugen, are all quite prestigious people in the Xianbei tribe, and many of the tribes under their command have been following for a long time, and they are not so good to win them over, right? ”
Lu Ren sneered softly: "That's because they had soldiers in their hands and grain in their warehouses before, so they could hold people." Now that the food is gone, and people's hearts are in chaos, we don't make a move at this time, so when will we make a move? Hmmm......"
Saying that, Lu Ren looked up at the sky and pondered, Xun Yu saw that Lu Ren fell into a state of contemplation, so he didn't bother anymore. After a long time, Lu Ren sat back at the desk, took a pen and paper, and began to write a draft of the telegram, and Xun Yu also stood by Lu Ren's side to see how Lu Ren wrote. After writing and changing like this for a while, Lu Ren stopped his pen and smiled back at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu had been watching behind Lu Ren, and then hesitated: "Yihao, like this...... Can it be done? Isn't it a bit of a joke? And wouldn't it be a bit risky? ”
Lu Ren said: "It may be a bit of child's play, but the adventure is not enough." Xun Gong, you are much better than me in the art of war or something, I want to ask you now, at this point, is it the military war or the psychological war? ”
Xun Yu also closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally nodded lightly: "Heart battle is the best." ”
"Hmmm! Come on, take this telegram to Chrysanthemum Port right away!! ”
It didn't take long for Lu Lingqi in Chrysanthemum Harbor and Zhao Yu in the fleet to receive what was probably the longest telegram they had ever had since they played the telegram. After reading it carefully, these two girls also saw sweat on their heads in the cold weather, and said Uncle Lu, Mr. Lu, are you meowing are you joking!?
————————————————————
Another day of fierce fighting.
As Xun Yu expected, the Budugen army, which had no money left, began to play with their lives. The snow has fallen, and half of the horses are missing, and if you want to return to the grassland, most of them will freeze and starve to death on the way, so it is better to fight and fight at this time. If they can capture Chrysanthemum Harbor and have enough supplies in Chrysanthemum Harbor, they will be able to survive this winter.
The battle was very fierce, but Budugen still couldn't get any bargain, because the Chrysanthemum Harbor had expected that Budugen was likely to come to play with his life, so the precautions were also done very well, plus it was now the winter snow season, which added a lot of difficulty to Budugen's siege warfare, and it was not easy to capture the well-guarded Chrysanthemum Port?
But on the other hand, Chrysanthemum Port is also a bit choking, after all, tens of thousands of people rushed up to play with their lives, are you joking? So after a day of fierce fighting, Lu Lingqi's men and horses were tired enough.
Looking at Budugen again, since it is already a fateful game, in order to facilitate the attack, even the camp has moved forward a lot, and the distance from the head of the Chrysanthemum Port City is not even a kilometer, and it is just outside the range of the artillery of the Chrysanthemum Port City Wall. Sometimes the gunpowder of the artillery was loaded a little more, and the shells could even reach a few paces away from the barracks...... This doesn't mean that the artillery can directly bombard Budugen's camp as long as the amount of gunpowder is added, and you don't think that the people on Budugen's side are stupid.
Moreover, if the amount of gunpowder in the artillery is excessive, then these cannons may explode, so the Chrysanthemum Harbor side does not dare to mess around. If you really want to be greedy for that little cheap and cause problems with artillery, then the walls of Chrysanthemum Harbor will lack sharp weapons to defend the city. Which is more important, Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying, can't they tell the difference?
I won't talk about this, just say that after repelling Bu Dugen's attack today, and the sky gradually got dark, Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the last few battles have been too tiring. Looking at the enemy camp on the other side, which could be seen more clearly with the naked eye during the day, Lu Lingqi greeted Murong Ziying beside her: "I originally thought that I would find a suitable place to get Uncle Lu's things, but now it seems that I don't need them." ”
Murong Ziying also measured the distance visually, nodded and said: "Yes, at this distance, the terrain is so empty, we set up a loudspeaker at the head of the city, and the sound can be transmitted directly to the camp of Budugen." To be honest, when I first saw the lord say that he was looking for a place, I felt that the lord was simply embarrassed, where to find such a type of land in this area? Even if it can be found, tens of thousands of people will besiege it, and it will be a big deal. ”
Lu Lingqi said: "Okay, don't talk about this!" Let the craftsmen hurry up, and we'll give them a bite to come late tonight. ”
Soon, a group of craftsmen caught up with the city and got busy, pulling the thread and setting up the platform...... These are omitted. At that time, it was already the middle of winter, and it was dark early, so the craftsmen were busy from about 7 o'clock in the evening, and around 12 o'clock in the evening, a simple lighting stage had been set up at the head of the city.
After a while, the searchlights that already existed at the head of the city and the additional lights were all concentrated on this simple stage, which was as bright as day.
Budugen's camp is not far from the city, so many lights are concentrated in one place in the middle of the night and it is particularly conspicuous, naturally it alarms the entire camp of Budugen, and many people have poked their heads out to look at the city head of Chrysanthemum Port, wanting to see what is going on there. But at this time, at the head of the city of Chrysanthemum Harbor, a soft and sweet song sang softly in the night sky......
