Chapter 0097 - Attack from both sides
In fact, Yue Fei also made a decision without any way out.
It really makes no sense to stalemate with Sun Qin's troops near the ancient city of Ping'en. A long-term stalemate will suppress Sun Qin in the ancient city of Ping'en. If Sun Qin doesn't come out, there is no way to beat him. Only by letting Sun Qin lead the convoy on a long-distance march can he find a flaw, and if he finds a flaw, he can be beaten.
Moreover, the stalemate between the two sides means that the cavalry will voluntarily give up its mobility and flexibility, and will lose a large number of opportunities to destroy the enemy. He always remembered what his lord had said, that cavalry could only be used perfectly in sports warfare. Now that the enemy is not moving, then we can only find ways to make the enemy move.
Therefore, Yue Fei ordered Shan Jing to stay with 500 men and horses, and show his face outside the Yellow Turban Army camp in Ping'en's old city every day, one to confuse the enemy, and the other to see if Sun Qin could move. As soon as the enemy moves, immediately notify the main force to look for opportunities along the way to annihilate the enemy. He himself secretly returned to the vicinity of Yecheng with his troops, looking for opportunities.
The army wandered for two days on the plains from Ping'en to Lieren, and then Yue Fei received the news of the truce between the two sides in Yecheng, and he keenly felt that this might be an opportunity. Therefore, he immediately decided to lead the army to sneak back to Yecheng and attack the Yellow Turban Army camp.
It has been more than ten days since the Yellow Turban Army launched an attack on Yecheng, and it is estimated that the Yellow Turban Army has suffered a lot of losses, and the soldiers are also exhausted, and they will definitely find an opportunity to attack.
Yue Fei led the army and created a miracle again, running five hundred miles in two days and rushing from Ping'en to Yecheng.
The opportunity is really reserved for those who are prepared, and Yue Fei, who returned to Yecheng, keenly found that the three military camps of the Yellow Turban Army in the south, west, and north did not have many troops, and they all looked like less than 10,000 horses. Moreover, the focus of defense is also on the side of the city, and the defense in other directions is very lax.
The northern battalion of the Yellow Turban Army is backed by Zhangshui, and the east and west sides are the horns of the east and west camps of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, so they are certainly not suitable for attack. The Western Battalion was originally the most suitable for a surprise attack, and it was far away from the Eastern Battalion, where the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was located, while the strength of the North and South Battalions was very limited, but the generals of the Yellow Turban Army stationed in the Western Battalion were very careful, and Yue Fei did not find a breakthrough for a surprise attack.
After Yue Fei carefully weighed it, he decided to attack the southern camp of the Yellow Turban Army. Although this battalion was only ten miles away from the East Battalion, where the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was stationed, it was very convenient to support, but Yue Fei didn't care. His command is a cavalry, one blow to escape, never stop, no matter how fast the horns move, can only look at the wind and sigh.
It was as if God was taking care of Yue Fei, and just when he was about to launch a surprise attack on the southern camp of the Yellow Turban Army, he found that the eastern battalion of the Yellow Turban Army was actually transferring troops to the southern camp, and the scene was a little chaotic.
How could Yue Fei let go of such an opportunity? Originally, he was a little dissatisfied that he could only annihilate less than 10,000 enemies, but now he was just giving him a greater battle achievement for nothing?
………………
After Zhang Jiao found out that the Nanda Camp was being raided, he gathered 10,000 horses as fast as he could, avoided the soldiers who fled back to the East Camp in a frenzy, made a slight detour, and then rushed straight to the Nanda Camp.
Although the soldiers who fled back were terrified, they stood in the safety of the camp with their feet in their ears, and the sound of inspiring war drums in their ears, and their hearts were immediately settled. Summoned by the officers, the soldiers immediately regrouped and prepared for battle.
With so many comrades dead, it's time for revenge.
Yue Fei didn't expect today's harvest to be so big, from the South Battalion of the Yellow Turban Army to the East Battalion, all the Yellow Turban soldiers along the way. The deserters scattered everything, and all the Yellow Turban soldiers ran wildly like lifeless, entangled like headless flies, gathered densely in front of the cavalry army, retreated like a tide, and fled.
Their unorganized escape slowed down their escape, and death came to them more quickly.
The galloping iron riders destroyed everything, all obstacles, all lives, leaving nothing but fear and death.
………………
The defenders of Yecheng were awakened by the loud noise and fighting outside the city, and they thought that the Yellow Turban Army was coming, and they all poured onto the city wall.
In the distance, the camp of the Yellow Turban Army was hidden in the darkness, and nothing could be seen, and it was not known what was going on in the enemy camp that was screaming with a loud cry of killing.
Li Yi smiled, he shook his head vigorously, pointed in the direction of the enemy camp, and said to Wang Fen beside him: "We are looking for him everywhere, but he is here." That is Yue Fei and Yue Pengju. Zhang Jiao suffered. ”
Turning around, Li Yi said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, act according to the plan!" ”
Zhao Yun said loudly: "Wow! Then he turned and sped away.
Soon, the southern gate of Yecheng was opened, and Zhao Yun led the five thousand iron cavalry who had already been ready to go out of the city, and attacked the southern camp of the Yellow Turban Army with Yue Fei's army outside the city.
Wang Fen saw Zhao Yun who was rushing out of the city, and asked a little dumbfounded: "Peng Feixian, what's going on?" ”
For Zhao Yun to be able to take action so quickly, it was obviously completely unexpected by Wang Fen.
Li Yi smiled indifferently and said, "The messenger we sent a few days ago didn't contact Pengju, so I knew that he would definitely make a big move. In today's Jizhou, if he wants to achieve the effect of changing the situation, there are only a few targets he can target, one is the Yellow Turban Army grain transportation unit in the ancient city of Ping'en, and the other is the Yellow Turban Army outside the city. Although the number of Yellow Turban troops in Ping'en's Ancient City was small, according to the scouts, the rebel Sun Qin's defense was very tight, and there was no chance of a surprise attack at all. Then the only target that can be raided is the Yellow Turban Army battalion. Therefore, for the past two days, I have kept the cavalry ready to go out of the city at any time to help in the battle. ”
Wang Fen listened to Li Yi's explanation and was stunned again.
In fact, this was because Wang Fen didn't know Yue Fei at all. Indeed, in today's Wei County and Julu County, although there are not many targets that can make Yue Fei raid, there are definitely many. However, many of the targets are insignificant and of little significance to changing the situation on the battlefield. With Yue Fei's strategic vision, he would definitely not choose those places as raid targets.
This is the reason why Li Yi can make accurate judgments.
………………
Originally, the Yellow Turban Army in Nandaying was raided by Yue Fei, and it was already a mess, but now it was attacked by Zhao Yun and five thousand iron cavalry on both sides, and it was a complete rout, which can really be described as a wolf rushing to the pig.
However, just when the situation was good, Yue Fei suddenly shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw from the battlefield......"
The rapid and low sound of the horn woke up the cavalry soldiers who were immersed in the bloody battle, and everyone looked at the yellow turban deserters in front of them crying for their fathers and mothers, and the yellow turban deserters running for wolves, their blood-red eyes were murderous, and they were still unwilling.
"Turn right, ...... right Turn ......"
"Withdraw, withdraw from the battlefield ......"
Yue Fei shouted hoarsely, wishing that he couldn't spread the word to Siye.
Seeing that some of the soldiers were still fighting bravely while the war horses were slowing down, Yue Fei couldn't help but feel a little anxious. It is estimated that Zhang Jiao's reinforcements are also about to arrive. took such a big advantage today, and it would be an idiot not to leave.
"Withdraw...... Withdraw ......," Yue Fei kept shouting.
The drums and horns sounded violently, and the sound was intense, one higher than the other.
On the outermost side were the left armies of Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan, both of whom were covered in blood and were on the rise. The war horses have not yet run three or four miles, the people have not been killed enough, and the time has not yet been a few teas, and they are about to retreat. Zou Dan immediately scolded, urging the horse to chase after some of the soldiers. Gongsun Yue shouted twice in a row and didn't stop, and in anger, he raised his knife and chopped. Zou Dan saw it out of the corner of his eye, was taken aback, roared wildly, twisted his horse, and raised his knife to block.
"When ......" There was a loud bang, Zou Dan's arms weakened, and he almost fell off the horse.
Gongsun didn't look at it the more he looked, and roared wildly: "Turn right...... Remove...... Immediately withdraw from the battlefield ......"
The cavalry on the left heard the fierce trumpet, knew that the matter was urgent, did not dare to slack off, turned their horses' heads one after another, and no longer ignored the yellow turban deserters on the battlefield, and galloped away.
The departure of the warrior on the left immediately made room, and then Gongsun Chan in the front and Gongsun Fan on the right followed closely and galloped away. Then, the other troops under Yue Fei's command, as well as the 5,000 iron cavalry that went out of the city and Yue Fei flanked the southern camp of the Yellow Turban Army also quickly escaped.
Surrounded by a group of guards, Yue Fei glanced back at the Yellow Turban soldiers rushing from the east, laughed proudly, and then led the swift into the darkness.
