Chapter 139: Constant Harassment
When Hua An and Tie Niu returned to Yinling City, the sky was already dark, and Wang San, Lei Storm, and Zhao Wu did not return to the camp to rest, but waited anxiously at the city gate.
"Look, big brother is back." Seeing that Hua'an was back, the three of them hurriedly greeted him.
Hua An saw that the three of them were tired all night but did not go back to the camp tent to rest, but waited for him at the city gate, and there was a burst of emotion in his heart, and a warm current flowed all over his body.
"Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu, a qiēshun lì?" Hua An stepped off his horse and asked softly.
When Thunderstorm heard this, he immediately replied: "At first, it was quite smooth, but then there was a light cavalry that kept biting at the back, but fortunately we were familiar with the terrain and walked around a few circles to shake off the enemy." ”
Hua An listened, nodded and said, "Oh, it seems that a few days ago, it was not in vain to explore the way around Yinling City. ”
The four of them listened and nodded again and again, and they understood Hua'an's good intentions in leading them to explore the road carefully a few days ago.
Zhao Wu nodded, looked at Hua An suspiciously, and asked softly: "I heard the third brother Wang say that the eldest brother let the enemy kill each other twice, with thousands of casualties?" ”
After speaking, he watched Hua'an with the thunderstorm.
Hua An smiled indifferently, pointed at Wang San, waved his hand and said, "Don't listen to that kid's nonsense, there are not so many, it is estimated that there are only a few hundred people." ”
Seeing that Hua An said it extremely lightly, as if he could put the enemy to death with a single gesture, Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu glanced at each other, revealing a surprised expression.
"It's still a big brother, why didn't we think of killing a few enemies? Ay! Thunderstorm looked at Zhao Wu and seemed to regret it.
"What is this, just now in Qianguling, my eldest brother and I killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers with our bare hands, and scared the enemy's 2,000 men and horses into the bottom and fled." Iron Bull puffed out his chest and showed off loudly.
When Wang San heard this, he was surprised: "Big brother, after we left, you and Tie Niu killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers?" ”
Hua An nodded, looked at Wang San, and said softly: "It was to kill more than a dozen lone enemy soldiers, but the enemy army can flee in the wilderness, Tie Niu, like you, has learned to brag." ”
"Hahahaha." Suddenly, the five of them tacitly laughed out loud.
Hua An laughed for a while, looked up at the north, frowned, and said, "You said, the enemy's main army of 30,000 can still sleep after we make such a fuss?" ”
"After tossing all night, it is estimated that the enemy army will not be able to sleep for a few hours."
"It's hard to say, maybe the enemy soldiers are sleeping at the moment."
"When they've slept enough during the day, we'll continue to make trouble at night."
The four of them talked nonsense.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, Hua An took a deep breath, looked at the four of them, and said loudly: "This night, everyone did a good job, big brother went to ask for credit for you, tired for a night, go back to sleep first!" After speaking, he went straight to Han Qian's Chinese army tent.
At this moment, it was already early in the morning, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Han Qian had already woken up, and when he saw Hua An walking in, Han Qian hurriedly asked: "What was the situation last night, and did our army have any casualties?" ”
When Hua An heard this, he hurriedly reported all the situation to Han Qian in detail, and even the details of letting Tie Niu pick up horse manure were not omitted.
After hearing this, Han Qian's heart was greatly excited, and he praised Hua'an again and again for being brave and strategic, which made Hua'an a little embarrassed.
"Master, the enemy army is exhausted, it is a good time for our army to attack, it is better to gather the main army out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the enemy army." Hua An said loudly.
"No, no, no." Han Qian shook his head, and said: "The Zhao army's camp has been troubled by you all night, and the soldiers' tired combat power has naturally decreased a lot, but even so, its combat power is still not under our army. ”
When Hua An heard this, he nodded, frowned and asked, "Then I don't know what the master is planning." ”
Han Qian's big tent paced back and forth, thought for a moment, and said softly: "The Zhao army has been troubled by you all night, and most of them will not attack the city today, our army just took this opportunity to step up the repair of the city wall, and dig some moats outside the city gate, as well as all kinds of materials to defend the city need to be prepared, one day, so that our army has enough time to prepare." ”
"Then our army will just do this and wait, so that the enemy army will rest and come to attack the city." Hua An didn't seem to understand Han Qian's answer.
Han Qian smiled softly and explained: "What the division means is that the strength of our army is not enough to fight the main force of the peach leopard, and at this time, we can only rely on the city wall to confront the peach leopard, but we will not watch the peach leopard prepare calmly." ”
"Oh, what a plan does the master have." Hua An became curious.
"It's very simple, continue to harass and don't let Zhao Jun have a chance to breathe." Han Qian said confidently.
"Oh, what the master means is to not give the peach leopard a chance to rest day and night, and send a small force to harass them."
"That's right, the task of harassment at night will be handed over to you, and the team during the day will have other arrangements for the division, and the peach leopard will not be allowed to camp outside the city with peace of mind."
Hua An understood what Han Qian meant, but he felt that simple harassment must have a very good effect the first time, but with the numbness of the enemy army, the effect would be worse and worse every time, and even, in the end, the enemy soldiers could fall asleep listening to the drums, so it would not have much harassment effect.
Moreover, last night's thunderstorm and Zhao Wu disturbed the enemy for the second time, and he encountered the pursuit of a small number of light cavalry of the enemy, and if he was not familiar with the terrain, he would have been caught up.
"Master, Hua'an feels that there is a very important point, that is, our army should constantly change the methods of disturbing the enemy, not statically, and, if possible, it is best to annihilate the enemy's small forces by the way when disturbing the enemy, accumulate small victories into big victories, and weaken the enemy step by step." Hua'an looked stern and said.
When Han Qian heard this, he felt that it made sense, and hurriedly asked for the specific details of the operation, while Hua An told Han Qian all the details he thought of, and by the way, he asked Han Qian for 3,000 troops to cooperate with his actions at night.
Han Qian felt that Hua'an's plan was safe and feasible, so he readily agreed, and what was allocated to Hua'an's command was the 3,000 cavalry infantry that had just been temporarily formed.
Getting the temporary command of the 3,000 main army, Hua An was so excited that he almost jumped up in Han Qian's Chinese army tent, and exchanged details of the operation for a while, Hua An returned to the camp tent with exhaustion to rest.
Not long after Hua An left, Han Qian summoned the generals above the rank of lieutenant to the big tent of the Chinese army, and briefly described his plan, and the generals agreed with it when they heard it.
With the support of the generals, Han Qian divided the only 2,000 cavalry under his command into two waves, took turns to "patrol" around the enemy camp, and tied some of the cavalry's horses to the rear of the branches, so that the billowing smoke and dust raised would give the enemy the illusion that the army was pressing, thereby disrupting the deployment of the enemy army and causing a sense of tension and oppression to the enemy army.
