Chapter 401: Assault on the Beam (I)
Six or seven Wei generals immediately expressed their intention to take refuge in the plateau. Because these Wei generals are the henchmen of Su Hu, Chen Hao and others, they have already figured it out, and now they are just deliberately creating momentum. And after someone took the lead in expressing his position, many Wei generals had eager expressions on their faces, only Wei Jiao's face was cloudy, obviously carrying out fierce activities in his heart.
And just when the others hesitated, Gao Yuan said: "If there are people who are willing to take refuge in me, I am naturally willing to accept them, but it is all up to you, I will never force it, and you can all go back and think about it overnight, but because there are still a thousand generations of troops trapped in Daliang City as hostages, just tonight, our generation army will raid Daliang and rescue the trapped generation army, so wait until tomorrow morning, and it is not too late for you to make a decision." After a pause, he said: "If you have family members in Daliang City, you can rest assured, after we break through Daliang, we can take your family to leave together, but tonight, please accept a little bit of stubbornness, no one can leave the camp at will without my order." ”
After the Wei generals retreated, Gao Yuan immediately issued an order, ordering the Dai Army to take over the camp and Xingkou City, and no one was allowed to enter and leave at will, and ordered Su Hu, Chen Hao, Wei Ben and others to pacify the Wei soldiers, mainly to emphasize to them that whether or not to take refuge in the plateau is voluntary, and the Gao Yuan will never force it, nor will it hurt those who are unwilling to take refuge in the Dai Army.
In the evening, Ling Feng sent people to report that they had all infiltrated the city of Daliang. Because of the withdrawal of the Qin army, all the gates in Daliang City were also opened, allowing the people to enter and exit freely. And after the successful seizure of power by the ministers of the Wei State, they were busy clearing out dissidents in the city, and arguing about how to distribute the power in their hands, and just today during the day, Wei Yuan was sent to Xingkou to negotiate with the plateau, no one expected that the plateau would launch a surprise attack on Daliang at this time, so the guard of the city gate was very lax, and this time has come, Ling Feng and others have been in and out of Daliang City many times, and they are also very familiar with the environment, as a result, more than 200 people have mixed into Daliang City very smoothly, And in contact with the lurkers in the city in advance, he made a plan to meet with the plateau at night.
After Gao Yuan received the report, he immediately left Yuan Xuan to sit in Xingkou, and told Yuan Xuan that he should be vigilant tonight, divide the whole army into two groups, and take turns on duty to prevent the Wei army from changing, and listen to the news from Daliang, while he and Jiang Huanwu led two thousand Fan Yong troops and three thousand Beiwei troops to set off from Xingkou and go straight to Daliang.
Although it was a night march, this road had been back and forth dozens of times and was very familiar, so the group rushed to the edge of Daliang City very smoothly and ambushed it. There are a total of 12 gates in the girder, and each wall has a main gate and two side gates, which are named according to the left and right. The representative army chose to assault the east left gate.
At the time of the second watch, Gao Yuan ordered a fire to be raised outside the city to send a signal to the city. Sure enough, not long after the signal was issued, I saw that the people on the city tower were noisy and chaotic, and there was a fire burning, so Gao Yuan immediately led the Yong army with Jiang Huanwu and killed towards the city gate.
Just when the group of people rushed to the city gate, they saw that the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and Gao Yuan and Jiang Huanwu immediately led the men and horses into the city.
At this time, the defenders in the city were fighting fiercely with Ling Feng's people, and when they saw people and horses entering from outside the city, they immediately became chaotic. And at this moment, there was a sudden ** shouting, saying: "It's Wu Anjun, it's Wu Anjun's representative army."
When the other Wei troops who were still fighting against the Dai army heard this, they suddenly lost the will to fight, because in the past half a year or so, the image of the plateau and the Dai army's courage and invincibility has established a very deep impression in the minds of the Wei army, so the Wei army did not have the confidence to fight with the Dai army at all, and as a result, some Wei soldiers fled, and some Wei chose to surrender. The battle was basically over the moment the plateau entered the city.
Gao Yuan ordered the surrendered Wei soldiers to be temporarily put into custody, and at the same time urged the follow-up troops of the Dai army to enter the city one after another, and quickly control the city gate.
Gao Yuan immediately called Ling Feng and asked, "Do you know where Mr. Zhang, Dai Jun, and An Chengjun are being held?" ”
Ling Feng said: "I have inquired about it, Mr. Zhang and our acting army were imprisoned in the temporary mansion of the lord, and there were three thousand Wei soldiers in custody, but I have already sent people to infiltrate, as long as we attack outside, the brothers will do it inside, inside and outside, we can defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop and rescue the brothers, and An Chengjun's family is now imprisoned in the Wei state, and there are some other Wei generals." ”
When Gao Yuan heard this, he immediately ordered that each of them send out a thousand Beiwei troops to rescue the imprisoned Dai Jun and Wei Zheng's family, and the rest of the people stayed here for the time being to guard the city gate.
After the two armies set off, Gao Yuan went to see the Wei soldiers who were being taken into custody.
There were a total of fifty-seven Wei soldiers who surrendered, most of whom were stationed in Xingkou in rotation and fought against the Qin army under the command of Gao Yuan, who had great respect for Gao Yuan, so they immediately surrendered when they learned that Gao Yuan and Dai troops had entered the city. And when Gao Yuan came to see them, he knew two of the officers.
Gao Yuan said to them, "Don't be afraid, I will release you in a moment." But I want to tell you that this time our Dai army raided Daliang, not to occupy Daliang and destroy Wei, but because this time the clan of Wei did too much, not only to drive us out of Wei, but also to seize the Dai army stationed in Daliang City as a hostage, so I raided Daliang, just to rescue the Dai army trapped in the city, and to settle accounts with the clan clan of Wei, a few days later, I will leave Daliang, but I am in Daliang's time, I hope not to be your enemy again, The next time we meet on the battlefield, then I won't show mercy to my men. ”
Saying that, Gao Yuan ordered that all the fifty-seven Wei soldiers be released. And these Wei soldiers were very grateful, because no one expected that Gao Yuan would be so magnanimous, in their opinion, Gao Yuan might not kill himself, but he would not release himself so lightly. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, all these Wei soldiers ran away.
Ling Feng was also puzzled and said, "Lord, why did you let them go. What if they are sent back and they are sent by the clan of Wei to attack us? ”
Gao Yuan smiled: "If you don't let them go, then what do you say?" Are you going to kill them all? ”
Ling Feng thought for a moment and said, "Of course, we can't kill them all, we can keep them all in custody, so that at least we won't be sent to attack us again." ”
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "If you keep them in custody, you also need people to guard them, and you must provide them with food and drink, we only have a total of 5,000 people now, even if we drive all the people to Daliang, it is only more than 18,000 people, and there are so many people guarding them." Therefore, it is better to let them go, and there will be a lot less trouble. And even if they are sent by the clan of Wei to attack us again, do you think they will fight with all their strength? Not only will they not fight hard, but they will also transmit this kind of sentiment to other soldiers, which choice is better for you? ”
When Ling Feng heard this, he understood a little, and said, "So that's the case, in the end, the lord still thinks about it." ”
Jiang Huanwu smiled on the side: "Xiaofeng, there are still many things you have to learn." ”
As a few people were talking, they saw the fire flickering on the long street directly opposite the city gate, and it was obvious that many people were rushing towards this side with torches. And there are also soldiers who come to report to the plateau, and some Wei soldiers have killed them.
Gao Yuan said with a smile: "The Wei army arrived so quickly, and ordered the Wei army to line up to meet the battle." ”
It turned out that the Wei soldiers who had fled from the city gate immediately reported to the clans of the Wei State, saying that Gao Yuan had led the Dai army into Daliang City. Although it was already the second watch at this time, more than a dozen major clan clans had not yet slept, after all, they had just succeeded in seizing power this morning, and there were still many things to deal with, so these people were still discussing how to deal with the next decision.
Therefore, they also got the news immediately, and these clan clans couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't expect the acting speed of the Dai army to be so fast, and they would attack the main beam in one fell swoop. But since the Dai army has entered the city of Daliang, it means that the plateau will not give up, and the two sides can only solve it by force.
And Wei Yan couldn't refuse, so he could only lead the army to battle. Because it has been less than a day since the clan seized power, many things have not had time to be dealt with, and now the only army that the clan can control is the guards guarding the palace. Fortunately, the guards were on duty day and night, taking turns to guard, so Wei Yan quickly mobilized 5,000 soldiers and rushed towards the city gate.
Although the Dai army occupied the Dongzuo Gate, although the street leading directly to the city gate was not the main road of Daliang City, it was also very wide, reaching more than five zhang, and six carriages could walk side by side. In other cities, even the main road is not so wide.
However, after hearing this, the Dai army quickly set up a formation on the street. And the formation arranged this time is not the mandarin duck formation of fifteen people in the past, but the change of the mandarin duck formation: the three-force formation.
As the name implies, the so-called three-force array is composed of fifteen soldiers who form the mandarin duck array according to a group of five, regrouped into three five-person formations, of which two five-person formations are composed of a shield soldier, two pikemen, a short axe thrower, and a crossbowman, the shield soldier is still in the front line to protect the whole team, two pikemen are one left and one right, protect both sides of the shield soldier, and pay for close combat, short axe thrower and crossbow soldier pay for long-range attack; There is also a Wu Ren Formation composed of the captain of the Mandarin Duck Formation, two wolf soldiers and two crossbowmen, who are responsible for protecting the whole team, while the captain holds the sword and shield for close combat, and the two crossbowmen are responsible for long-range attacks.
The essence of the three armed formations is the same as that of the Mandarin Duck Formation, which is to use various weapons to cooperate and coordinate operations, but to disperse a Mandarin Duck Formation into three small formations, and this combination is more flexible and convenient, and more suitable for fighting in the narrow environment of the city.
