Chapter 38 Lei Xu's counterattack
The mountain capital of Nanyang County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At the beginning of March, Li Yan joined Meng Da (then Shangyong Taishou, who governed Shangyong and Fangling counties), Shen Wei, and the Shen Discussion Department, who came from Shangyong and Fangling to command the troops.
The next day, Fu Tong, a native of Yiyang, was the head of the mountain capital, and was specifically responsible for negotiating with Liu Biao's envoy, but he quietly went down the river with Meng Da and the three of them, killing Lecheng from Yin County, and the soldiers pointed directly at Sui County.
Lei Xu, who had just fled to Lecheng, was shocked, and immediately led the army to open the door and flee.
Le Cheng was preparing to fight to the death, and when he heard that Lei Xu abandoned the door and fled, he also abandoned the city, and Le Cheng opened the door and surrendered.
Li Yan ordered him to still grow up for pleasure, and he led his troops to go to Yuxian County.
Sui County, located in the south of the water, is the main road of Wancheng to Wuguan grain delivery, Zhang Xun led the army into Wuguan, there was a subordinate Wei Kai sitting in the town.
Wei Kai did not see the Jin army coming, but received Lei Xu's defeated army, and then heard Zhang Xun lead the army across the water and rushed to Wancheng overnight.
Of course, Zhang Xun did not do nothing, along the way ordered the defenders of Danshui, Shunyang, and Champion counties to retreat to Sui County, and Zhang Xun was ready to return to Wancheng, and then sent troops to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army.
Lei Xu is the younger brother of Lei Bo, compared to Lei Xu, Lei Bo is a general under Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun is out of Wan, and staying in it is enough to prove his status in the Yuan army.
There is gossip: Zhang Xun was captured by the Jin army.
If this news is true, Nanyang will be a thunderous territory in the future, as for whether there is a future? Hehe! At least he is now the No. 2 person in Nanyang, and he may be called the No. 1 person.
Wei Kai was entertained with delicious food and drink after seeing Lei Xu.
Lei Xu passed the panic period, and Yuan troops came one after another in the county, and the small county had nearly 10,000 troops, and Lei Xu couldn't help but be bold.
Thinking of the defeat of Wude, he was defeated in a daze, and now he has more troops in his hands than before, not only wanting to fight with the Jin army, but also to wash away the order to abandon the city and flee.
When Zhang Xun asked for a letter of guilt from above to Yuan Shu, Lei Bo also sent people to Yang Hong's place to walk around, hoping to take over Zhang Xun's position.
Although Yuan Shu was annoyed when he heard Zhang Xun's plea, he threw a few wine bottles, but he was not confused to the extent of changing generals in battle, and Yan Xiang, Yuan Yao and others tried to protect Zhang Xun.
Yuan Shucai suppressed his anger a little, and ordered him to make meritorious service and drive the Jin army out of Nanyang as soon as possible, and at least half of the territory of Nanyang County must be kept.
Zhang Xun's Nanyang Taishou added a fake in front of him, which undoubtedly greatly increased Lei Bo's enthusiasm, and of course Yang Hong's teasing: If there is merit, this matter will be successful.
When Lei Bo got the news, he immediately sent a message to Lei Xu, making sure to give Jin Jun something good-looking.
When Nanyang was already full of war, Li Yan went to Sui County, Cai Mao was about to Xinye, Deng Ji had taken Huyang, Huang Zhong also went down the Dan River, because Zhang Xun contracted his troops in Sui County, Huang Zhong can be said to have recovered several counties smoothly.
It's no wonder that Yuan Shu is angry, the first territory under his command is suddenly in flames on all sides, and there is a possibility of loss, how can he not be angry?
What's more, Li Yan came all the way and occupied several counties, and his troops would inevitably be scattered, and by the time he arrived in Sui County, there were less than 5,000 soldiers, and there would only be three Meng Da.
Li Yan came all the way, and the siege equipment was insufficient, so he could only sit and wait for Huang Zhong's brigade to come.
"Captain, it has been found out that the Jin Army Brigade has arrived in Champion County."
A scout reported to Lei Xu, although Lei Xu was defeated, his name was on Wei Kai, and he had Lei Bo's support, so he naturally became the leader of the guards in several counties.
Wei Kai said: "Captain, the Champion City is only two days away from here, if you want to find a decisive battle with the Jin army, you can't wait any longer."
Lei Xu said: "Don't worry, wait."
Wei Kai opened his mouth and said nothing.
In the evening, Wei Kai was called by Lei Xu.
"Night raid? Captain, tonight? ”
Wei Kai was shocked when he heard Lei Xu's brain-opening suggestion.
Most of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty had night blindness, so the night attack was a magic weapon to win more with less in ancient times.
Lei Xu was very satisfied with Wei Kai's reaction, and said immediately: "You also know that the Jin army has a lot of eyes and ears, if you decide early, you and I may not leave the city yet, the Jin army has already set up an ambush and waited."
Wei Kai hesitated: "But it's inconvenient to move at night?"
Lei Xu sneered: "There happens to be a force that can travel at night."
Wei Kai saw that Lei Xu had made up his mind, so he no longer objected: "What does the captain command?"
"Tonight, the three watches will make dinner, the sky is unknown, you will lead the troops to attack at night, watch the battle in the city, once the Jin army is defeated, a certain will lead the army to cover up and kill."
Lei Xu said.
"Whoa!"
Of course, Lei Xu didn't know that this point was the most sleepy time for people to launch a night attack, but he heard that the Jin army used to do this before.
That night, Wei Kai led his army to attack.
Li Yan set up three large camps in Sui County, with Meng Da and Shen Wei brothers sitting in the town, and the closer Huang Zhong got to him, the more panicked he became, so he ordered the three of them to strictly guard the camp, just in case.
The Shen brothers obeyed on the surface, but they didn't care in their hearts. Huang Zhong's army is coming, even if Lei Xuniu breaks the three of them, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses, how to defend the city?
In fact, the two of them still don't understand that sometimes the butt determines the head.
In order to fight for the position of Nanyang Taishou, Lei Bo forced Lei Xu to fight, as for the gains and losses of Yuxian County after that, heh! After changing the Taishou, can I change it again?
Not only the Shen brothers, but even Meng Da was the same, and he secretly drank a few drinks in the camp that night and fell asleep.
Alcohol is forbidden in the army, but the epidemic in Yizhou is rampant, and the humidity is extremely heavy, and the generals in the army will drink strong wine to drive away the dampness, and Meng Da is no exception.
Wei Kai took the lead in attacking the camp of the Shen Wei brothers that night, and it was no surprise that this county army was easily broken through.
When the Shen brothers woke up, they led their army to flee to Mengda's camp, and the rout attacked Mengda's barracks.
After Meng Da woke up, he then went out with his whole army and fought with Wei Kai, and no one could see anyone clearly in the dark night, and it turned out to be a big scuffle.
"You are not allowed to leave the camp, and anyone who comes near the camp will be killed."
After Li Yan was awakened by the shouts of killing, he ordered the sergeants to light torches, gather the routed troops outside the camp, and those who rushed the camp were shot and killed.
Lei Xu was overjoyed when he looked at the chaotic Jin army camp on the city wall, looked at the dawning sky, and immediately led the army to kill and went straight to the Jin army camp, in a vain attempt to destroy Li Yan in a battle.
Li Yan only has 5,000 people, he has nearly 10,000 people, and he attacked Li Yan at night first, so he won't lose?
Li Yan also killed the battlefield after dawn with the gathered defeated soldiers as the vanguard, and the elite of his own camp then covered up.
With this main force entering, Wei Kai's troops retreated in defeat, and after Wei Kai was surrounded, Lei Xu led his troops to enter, and there was another big melee outside the county.
With the passage of time, the Yuan army, which had eaten, gradually grasped the initiative on the battlefield by relying on the large number of people, especially after Lei Xu killed Shen Wei, the Fangling army was broken up violently.
A little advantage can turn into a victory over time, if there are no surprises, of course.
Lei Xu didn't have long to be proud, and a puff of smoke and dust rose in the distance, and then there seemed to be the sound of thousands of horses galloping.
North, cavalry?
You don't have to think about it to know that this is the Jin Army.
Lei Xu's face changed greatly: "Withdraw, quickly withdraw into the city."
