Chapter 0653: Xu Gongming directs the big play
Fukou, two mountains sandwiched.
The mountains on both sides are towering, forming natural passes.
In the Taihang Eight Mountains, the Fukou Pass is both short and narrow, which is not conducive to the passage of large troops.
The country where Chun Yuqiong is stationed is the only county seat in the west of Wei County, Jizhou. It is also the gateway to the four sides of Yecheng, Yuan Shao's governing place.
Sheguo County, location is very important. Recently, the state scouts have frequently haunted Fukou, and even probed the vicinity of the country.
The soldiers stationed in the country were panicked, but Chun Yuqiong didn't care.
Although Sheguo is isolated in the west of Wei County, in the west of Sheguo City, Qingzhangshui runs from north to south, adding an insurmountable line of defense. This water and city is the capital of Chun Yuqiong's self-confidence.
Chun Yuqiong is confident, and it makes sense.
Even Xu Huang and Chen Yucheng, who were ordered to attack Sheguo, also knew very well that it was very unlikely that they wanted to lure the Yecheng Jizhou Reserve Army to come to the aid by storming Sheguo.
The two armies of the enemy and ours are equal in strength.
The enemy is holding on, our army is attacking, and even if you don't count the sacrifices, it will be difficult to break the city.
After Xu Huang and Chen Yucheng accepted the order, they discussed for a long time and finally worked out the battle plan of the headquarters.
Attacking the country is not the goal.
Attracting the Yecheng Reserve Army is the goal.
In this way, it does not matter whether the city is sieged or not. The important thing is to make a gesture to convince the enemies of Shiguo and Yecheng that the main target of our army's attack is Sheguo, so as to attract the enemy forces in Yecheng and create favorable conditions for Guo Kan's troops to surprise attack Hanoi.
In this way, all the actions of the headquarters must be done in a fake way.
According to the usual tactics, in order to storm a place, in addition to mobilizing sufficient troops, it is also necessary to block the communication between the target city and the outside world, and prepare a series of preparations such as siege equipment.
To put it simply, Xu Huang and Chen Yucheng want to play a big drama of attacking the country, except for not attacking the country, all the other preparations must be realistic.
The two most critical points are to create the illusion that a large army is constantly coming. The second is to cut off the liaison between the country and Yecheng.
Among them, to block the enemy's contact, it is necessary to make a fake show in order to lure the enemy into being deceived. This also means: This task involves taking huge risks.
"Go!" Without saying a word, Chen Yucheng undertook this arduous task.
……
Act immediately, starting with a few small vanguard units.
One piece, quickly crossing the mouth of the mouth. Make a scouting stance.
The rest of the branches, looking for the road uphill, on the cliffs on both sides of the Fukou Mountain, set up guard posts, while reconnoitring the enemy's situation, to prevent the enemy scouts from snooping.
Subsequently, the vanguard department passed through Fukou and quickly seized Maocheng, a small city on the border between the two states, and arranged a guard.
The main force, holding the flag high. Divided into several batches, they arrived near Maocheng one after another. Relying on the dangerous terrain of Fukou, the camp was built.
Make a posture of taking the Fukou camp as the base camp and preparing to launch a strong attack.
These deployments are all routine actions to open the way for a large army, and they are not enough to frighten Chun Yuqiong.
Xu Huang sent several teams to cut down trees around the camp in Fukou.
Xu Huang rode the west bank of Zhangshui and led a small team to survey the location of the bridge.
And the state army repaired the camp. Cutting down trees, busy with fun. All this was clearly seen by Chun Yuqiong in the city of Sheguo.
Chun Yuqiong finally had a question: Could it be that the state army would really go against common sense. From the narrow mouth, to attack?
"General, shouldn't you report to the general?"
"Nonsense!" Chun Yuqiong scolded the captain who made the suggestion, "The enemy army has not taken any action, how can our army mess up its own position?" ”
Chun Yuqiong's mouth was hard, but she couldn't help but wonder.
Qingzhang water on the other side. The state army seems to have opened a carpenter's workshop, chiseling, axes and saws together, and they are in full swing.
Roughly counted, there were hundreds of carpenters working in the field.
With so many craftsmen, according to the usual ratio in the army, the enemy army has at least 30,000 people, but there are obviously not so many troops on the other side!
Could it be that there is a large army of enemy troops behind?
Xu Huang used his actions to answer the doubts in Chun Yuqiong's heart.
The barracks of the state army were repaired more and more. For several days in a row, a large number of teams drove into the newly renovated camp every day.
The flag covers the sun, and the tent is not in sight.
In the camp, there are more and more stoves that produce cooking smoke every day.
"General, we are here, I'm afraid it's really the target of the enemy's attack!" The little school was already a little panicked.
"So what? Although there are many enemies, we have to cross this clear water first, even if we cross the river, we still have the city of the country! ”
Chun Yuqiong ordered to go down, closely observe the movements of the enemy camp, and observe the situation of the enemy's cooking smoke and the newly opened camp every day. At the same time, patrols on the east bank of the Qingzhang River were strengthened, and once the enemy troops were found building bridges, they would immediately report to the police.
As long as the enemy army can't cross the river, no matter how many troops there are, what can they do?
……
Xu Huang's subordinates, of course, did not have such troops.
To let a large number of soldiers, dressed as craftsmen, is to make the enemy make a wrong judgment.
Every day, the marching team marched into the barracks during the day, and quietly retreated to the barracks in Fukou at night. During the day of the next day, they drove again with great fanfare, creating the illusion that the army was arriving one after another.
While successfully attracting the attention of the enemy in the city, Chen Yucheng led a group to detour the upper reaches of Qingzhang Water and quietly cross the river.
……
"General, the enemy is going to build a bridge!"
"Do you really want to build a bridge?" Chun Yuqiong rushed to the city wall.
Really!
The craftsmen of the state are divided into four groups, carrying the trunks and planks used to build the bridge, and are preparing to build four wooden bridges on the south side of the city.
"Hey, hey!" Chun Yuqiong sneered a few times, "Order, gather the crossbowmen, and follow me out of the city!" General Ben wants to make this bridge a bridge of death for the state army! ”
Two thousand Jizhou crossbowmen quickly assembled.
Chun Yuqiong divided his troops into four routes, with 500 crossbowmen on each road, and rushed out of the city, specializing in shooting the craftsmen who built bridges in the state!
The Jizhou army rushed out, and the craftsmen of Bingzhou did not retreat, but stepped up piling and building bridges.
"Shoot!"
Feathered arrows are as dense as flying locusts.
The craftsmen of the state were also prepared, erecting bridges and acting as shields.
A few waves of arrows rained, and although there were people who fell into the water with arrows, the casualties were not large because of their adequate preparation.
The attack was unfavorable, and Chun Yuqiong ordered again. "Ignition! Shoot rockets! Burn the bridge down! ”
Jizhou archers hurriedly collected branches to light the fire, tore the strips of cloth, and prepared to wrap them around the feather arrows, dip them in oil and light them on fire......
At this moment, in the north, the shouts suddenly rose!
Chen Yucheng led his troops to rush over!
Those who went out of Jizhou were all crossbowmen, and they were scattered around the four bridges.
Before they had time to assemble, Chen Yucheng's team had already rushed to kill!
Chun Yuqiong did not expect that the Bingzhou army had already made a detour across the river, and when they left the city, they only brought a small number of spearmen.
The morale of the Bingzhou army is high, and Chen Yucheng is even more courageous.
Chun Yuqiong relied on his own courage and waved a knife to fight Chen Yucheng. But perennial greed for the things in the cup, Chun Yuqiong's strength is not as good as before.
Before he could get together, he was forced to be in a hurry by Chen Yucheng.
And the team he brought out of the city was mostly crossbowmen, who fought at close range, and the crossbowmen who did not have swords, shields, spears and spears to cover were the weakest in combat effectiveness.
After an impact on the state army, the Jizhou army was in a state of collapse. Chun Yuqiong couldn't resist Chen Yucheng, so she had to turn her horse and flee back to Sheguo City.
Chen Yucheng did not attack the city, but tightly guarded the shore.
And the craftsmen of the state quickly drove piles and laid the bridge slabs...... (To be continued.) )
