Chapter 159: Ambush Night
Probably seeing Sun Quan's thoughts, Sun Ce explained to him,
"Rest assured, we don't underestimate our opponents. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is all the prerequisites, otherwise you can be sorry for the name of your grandchildren. ”
"Of course I don't worry about that, but it's so easy to know who you are? Not to mention that there may be an enemy that we don't know the details at all, that is, the original enemy, Shibei should be impressed by each other for three days, and the enemy is also in progress at any time! Sun Quan said.
"Shibei should be impressed for three days? Okay, a good taxi should be impressed for three days! ”
Sun Jian suddenly spoke, obviously hearing the conversation between the two brothers. This allusion, from the future Jiangdong famous general Lu Meng, now naturally no one knows, no one knows the allusion, but the truth is true, Sun Quan's words reached Sun Jian's heart.
"Hu Zhen was originally a cautious person, although he was forced to be helpless this time, he has indeed gradually changed himself. In the face of such an uncertain guy, we should not be surprised that he does anything that goes against his original style. Sun Jian said.
As he spoke, Sun Jian looked at Sun Quan and continued,
"However, no one can be completely sure of such a thing as war. We are not sure that Hu Zhen will attack tonight, but as long as there is such a possibility, it is necessary for us to take countermeasures. Of course, depending on the possibility, there will be different ways to deal with it, but no matter what, be sure to use the idea! He had only just fought during the day, and normally speaking, it was very unlikely that he would continue to fight at night, but now that Hu Zhen was in a hurry, it was very likely that he would use this kind of thinking in turn. Setting up an ambush is a conspiracy, and if you do it every day, it is impossible for the soldiers to hold on. So if you want to set up an ambush, you can only choose today, at most one tomorrow, if Hu Zhen doesn't come, then it can only be counted. ”
"Then what if Hu Zhen comes on the third day?" Sun Quan couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, then I not only admire him for using soldiers like a god, but also wonder if there is an internal ghost on our side!" Sun Jian said with a smile.
In fact, in ancient wars, there seemed to be many routines and tricks, and there were actually very few that could really come in handy. Now, Hu Zhen is attacking and Sun Jian is defending, and Hu Zhen wants to fight quickly, there are basically only two ways: First, lure Sun Jian out and don't let Sun Jian defend it. Whether it is encircling Wei to save Zhao or encircling the point to send reinforcements, as long as the Jiangdong Army is on the move, it will definitely be easier to fight than it is now. 2. Surprise attacks, sneak attacks, night attacks, taking people off guard, finding loopholes, and taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes can have unexpected effects.
From Hu Zhen's point of view, there is no difference in the day of the night attack, only the time of day, and in any military camp, there will be patrols and guards every day. On the premise of completely ignoring the ambush, Hu Zhen wants to carry out a night attack, which day do you think he will choose?
Therefore, Sun Jian and others have actually seen through Hu Zhen's details. If Hu Zhen really planned to attack at night, the biggest possibility was tonight, for him, in fact, every day was almost the same, and he couldn't afford to wait. Taking a step back, even if he fails today, there is still a possibility that Hu Zhen will attack at night again the next day! And if Hu Zhen took into account the possibility of setting up an ambush on Sun Jian's side, then he would not dare to attack at night, since he did not dare to come, then Sun Jian and the others would have done a useless work for a day or two at most, at least there was no loss.
After instructing Sun Quan, Sun Jian made an arrangement, and he released all Cheng Puhan's troops as Huang Gai, leaving only his own Chinese troops in the camp. The others were all ambushes, and Sun Jian deliberately stayed, just to trick Hu Zhen into being fooled, for fear that Hu Zhen would run away after discovering that something was wrong temporarily.
In this regard,
Sun Quan could only sigh again, he really didn't have the blood of a soldier, because if it were Sun Quan himself, it would be absolutely impossible for him to stay in the Chinese army. Yes, it is easy for an enemy to be defeated in an ambush, but don't forget, there is also the possibility of a fight against the water. Under the ambush of the divided army, the manpower of the Chinese army is definitely far inferior to the enemy, and if you are not careful, the Chinese army may be defeated before the enemy!
Sun Quan also knew that war could not be risk-free, but he always habitually minimized the risk. But what Sun Jian does, compared to reducing risks, what Sun Jian does is to raise the success rate to the highest, and for this, he would rather pay a certain amount of risk!
Therefore, Sun Quan is more suitable to defend Cheng and be an undefeated general. And Sun Jian and Sun Ce are suitable for conquering cities, they are victorious generals! Character is everything, at least this time. Whether Sun Quan will change in the future, and whether Shibei will be impressed on the third day, no one knows for the time being.
······
Night
Sun Quan's Sun Ce army became the only rear army in the entire Jiangdong Army. The rear army, as the name suggests, is located behind the Chinese army, simply put, it is the position between the camp and the rear Luyang City, and it is an army that ensures the back road and is prepared. The only function is that once the front line is defeated, it can block the enemy army and allow your own defeated troops to successfully retreat to the city.
From the point of view of the art of war, this troop arrangement is indeed indispensable, and at any time, we cannot ignore the backward road. But here today, this unit is a standard soy sauce role, and more than 90% of them may not be able to participate in the war.
In normal times, Sun Ce would definitely be quite dissatisfied with such an arrangement, he didn't say that he stayed in the Chinese army, how could he be the party in ambush. But looking at Sun Quan beside him, with such a younger brother who went to the battlefield for the first time, Sun Ce had to admit that his father's arrangement was the most appropriate.
In the first half of the night, Sun Quan had already habitually stayed up late, thinking it was no big deal, but after twelve o'clock, Sun Quan was a little unbearable. Pampered, not suffering much is one thing, the more important reason is to allow me to think twice, before twelve o'clock in the night, Sun Quan used the last skill of the day, from the consumption of spirit, he is equivalent to staying up for an hour more than others, and this extra hour, Sun Quan is still very active, and spent a lot of energy. It's a pity that Hu Zhen didn't attack during this time period, otherwise Sun Quan would have foreseen it in advance.
"If you're tired, just get some rest." The eldest brother, Sun Ce, saw Sun Quan's state and spoke directly.
"Huh?" Sun Quan was stunned, looking very surprised. Although Sun Quan also knows that his eldest brother usually loves his younger brothers and sisters very much, but now it is different from the past, Sun Jian deliberately arranged Sun Quan under Sun Ce, just to want Sun Ce to spur Sun Quan well, because only Sun Ce can be unkind to Sun Quan without scruples! If you change to someone else, it is estimated that you can only do it superficially, and with Sun Quan's cleverness, you will not be frightened by them.
As a result, Sun Ce was good, so he released the water directly?
"Haha, second brother, don't get me wrong, eldest brother is not accommodating you. It's just our situation, and you should know that tonight is basically useless. Regardless of whether the enemy army comes or not, my father and they are determined to stay up all night, if the enemy comes, it is best, if they don't come, then the next day, during the day, my father and they are no longer suitable for fighting. If something happens, the burden will fall on those of us who are well-rested. Sun Ce explained.
