179 Dinglinchuan County (2)

The advantage of Shanyue is that he can walk like flying in the mountains and forests, and come and go like the wind. As for defending the city, they have no contact with the Han culture and do not know the tactics of war. They are much weaker in defending the city than in the mountains and forests.

The next day, just as dawn, the army under Zhao Fei had already had a meal, divided it into four parts, and began to attack the four gates at the same time.

There is no need for any strategy, just a strong attack, and the four fierce generals take the lead in charge.

The number of people in Shanyue is only more than 10,000, and it has to be divided into four gates to guard it. Each city gate has only 3,000 people, and the troops are not much different, but in terms of generals, there is a difference in the mud.

Zhao Fei and his personal guards stood outside the east gate, where Xu Chu led his troops to attack the city.

Xu Chu's command was not high, and perhaps it was not suitable to lead the large army to attack the city, but no one could resist his personal force between the mountains and the mountains.

Zhao Fei has ladders, well railings, siege cars, and basically Ma Jun is there. All the common siege equipment have been created.

On the other side of Shanyue, in addition to archers, there are very few preparations for the city-guarding weapons such as squash wood and rolling stones.

The base camp of Shanyue in Linchuan County is still inside the mountain, and the four counties outside are just tentatively sent people to guard and occupy them.

There are two leaders of Shanyue in Chengfeng County, and they can only command two city gates at most. The other two city gates are commanded by a small leader whom they temporarily promoted.

This little leader has no ability. After being hacked to death by Huang Zhong and the others, the city gate was captured.

It was very easy, and the battle was resolved in more than an hour.

After the two Shanyue leaders were killed by Xu Chu and Chen Dao respectively, the Shanyue soldiers began to be defeated and surrendered.

Zhao Fei received the count of casualties from Zhang Liao. There were 19,000 new recruits. In this battle, more than 1,000 people were lost, more than 2,000 people were injured, more than 1,300 people were killed, more than 4,000 people were injured, and more than 6,000 people surrendered.

"Lord, how should this Shanyue prisoner be dealt with?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Be detained all the weapons first, confiscate them all, but there is no need to abuse them," Zhao Fei thought for a moment and ordered Zhang Liao.

Shanyue is the force that Zhao Fei wants to subdue, and it is not enough to suppress it alone. It is necessary to use both kindness and power. Although killing prisoners is much simpler than guarding, it does not require food or sending a large number of soldiers to guard the prisoners, the impact of killing prisoners is too bad, which will completely push Shanyue to Zhao Fei's opposite.

"Soldiers are very fast. Let's rest in this city for one night and head straight to Lifeng County tomorrow." Zhao Fei discussed these plans with Lu Su at the beginning. If the siege goes smoothly, he will naturally wipe out their vital forces before Shan Yue can react.

If Shanyue reacts and retracts the forest, it will be difficult to wipe out.

The reason why Ma Yuan suffered a loss at Shan Yue was because Shan Yue had been hiding in the forest and could not come out. Most of Ma Yuan's soldiers were northerners and could not enter the forest to fight. They could only spend so much time. Over time, the phenomenon of unacceptable land and land appeared, which led to a great defeat.

Zhao Fei knew that in history, Eastern Wu was still very good at dealing with Shanyue. The soldiers of Eastern Wu were recruited from this Jiangdong local area, and there was no possibility of being unacceptable to the local environment. In addition, there was no pressure on the logistics area, so he adopted the strategy of division and interception.

The Eastern Wu divided Shanyue into several areas, and then sent heavy troops to station between these areas to cut off the connection between Shanyue tribes. When the rice was about to mature, they sent people to harvest Shanyue's food first, and forced them to have no food, and then went out of the mountains and forests to surrender.

Zhao Fei also planned to adopt the Eastern Wu method. The premise of implementing this method is to defeat Shanyue first, force Shanyue into the forest, and divide and surround it. Then he will have to exhaust his patience. In a year, Shanyue tribe will definitely have food reserves in the Shanyue tribe. Besides, there is prey in the forest, and Shanyue will not be short of food in a short period of time.

However, Zhao Fei has three years to wait, and he can afford it.

After Zhang Liao commanded the soldiers to clean the battlefield, everyone rested in Chengfeng County.

After Zhao Fei and Lu Su determined the details of tomorrow's attack plan, they took a break.

In Chengfeng County, Long Xing and Bao Yan were left, as well as two thousand soldiers and more than two thousand wounded soldiers, and Zhao Fei continued to set off with 15,000 people.

Shanyue did not expect the government army to come so quickly. They planned to dispatch reinforcements to rescue Chengfeng County, but they did not expect that the government army had already reached the city of Lifeng County.

The reinforcements from Shanyue and the soldiers from the two subsequent counties basically gathered in Lifeng County, with more than 35,000 people.

Zhao Fei's troops were weak and he didn't dare to attack again. He stationed first and discussed his plans.

In the camp, Zhao Fei sat in the main seat, frowned and said, "I didn't expect Shanyue to act so quickly. I originally thought that Shanyue reinforcements would arrive only after capturing Lifeng County, and then we could confront Shanyue based on the city."

This was a strategy discussed with Lu Su before, but I didn't expect that the Shanyue army would come so quickly, which was much faster than the efficiency of the imperial government army.

"Lord, this is a matter of duty. It is progressing smoothly in Chengfeng County. It is normal for Lifeng County to be unsatisfied. No matter how detailed the plan is, it is just a plan. In fact, in the eyes of my subordinates, this is not a good thing," Lu Su, who was sitting at the lower head, said.

"What kind of tricks do Zijing have? Tell me quickly," Zhao Fei immediately asked Lu Su expectantly when he heard this.

"According to information analysis, the total population of the mountain in Linchuan County should be about 300,000, and they survive in the mountains and forests all year round. They have good physical fitness. Basically, adult men are qualified soldiers. Therefore, according to subordinates, the mountain in Linchuan County should have a total of 60,000 or 70,000 troops. Previously, 13,000 people were lost in Chengfeng County, and 35,000 people in Lifeng County. In other words, if the mountain in front of them is solved, the mountain in Linchuan County will be only more than 20,000 troops left."

Lu Su took a break and continued, "Originally, his subordinates were worried that our troops were weak and could not force Shanyue into the forest. Now it is a good opportunity. Not only do they have to defeat them, but they also have to make none of the Shanyue army in Lifeng County unable to escape, greatly weakening Shanyue's power."

"This is indeed a good thing, but Shanyue has so many people, how should we defeat them?" Zhang Liao asked next to him, and everyone in the tent looked at Lu Su.

"Shanyue captured the four counties of Linchuan County last year and was still a little arrogant. Now they are more than twice ours. They will definitely not choose to defend the city, and they will go out to attack. We must lose first."

"defeat?"

"Yes, defeat! Pretend to fail first, eliminate Shanyue's vigilance and make them arrogant, but they cannot be defeated too much. After retreating, they can rely on the camp to defend. Shanyue will definitely leave the army in the city to destroy us, and the city will definitely be empty. At that time, we will send a general to lead an elite army and will surely be able to easily capture Lifeng County. At that time, the Shanyue army that leaves the city will definitely be panicked and morale will decline. At that time, the army that pretends to be retreating in the camp can attack with the elite troops in the city, and will definitely be able to fight down."

"A good plan, Zijing came up with such a good plan in such a short time. It's so lucky that I got Zijing's help," Zhao Fei's face was filled with joy when he heard Lu Su's words. This plan was completely feasible. According to the impulsive character of the Shanyue barbarians, if there is no expert help, it will basically be 100% successful.

"Just act according to the plan. Starting tomorrow, you will all go to the Shanyue to fight. Remember to fight one-on-one, you can only fail and not defeat the enemy," Zhao Fei continued to order.

"Yes," Zhang Liao and the others suddenly became bitter-faced, and they wanted them to make a deliberate failure and embarrass themselves. But it was really difficult for them to be brave generals, but for the victory of the army, they could not refuse.

In the next few days, Zhang Liao and Chen went to Huang Zhong and Xu Chu, and then invited the battle to Shanyue in the city.

On the first day, Zhang Liao invited the battle. The leader of Shanyue in Lifeng County was a little cautious and sent out the number one master in the tribe, fearing that if he failed, he would hurt his morale.

After all, the government army captured Chengfeng County so quickly, and the leader of Shanyue was not a stupid person, so he naturally had to be careful with the government army.

This battle was wonderful. It was fought from morning to afternoon and evening, and in the end, Zhang Liao lost due to "insufficient physical strength".

At this moment, the leader of Shanyue felt a little relieved. Thinking about how the generals of the government army could fight with the number one master in the tribe for so long, it was amazing. Chengfeng County should have been too careless to be captured by the government army so quickly.

The quality of ordinary people in Shanyue is much higher than that of the Han people, but in terms of top military generals, due to the lack of good qi-raising techniques, they are very rough in martial arts and rely only on a brute force.

The so-called number one master of the Shanyue tribe is only more than eighty martial arts. How could he be Zhang Liao’s opponent? Zhang Liao just followed Zhao Fei’s instructions and fought so well in order to pursue authenticity.

The number one master in Shanyue was so happy that Zhang Liao was a little tired. It was not physically tired, but mentally tired. Every attack had to stop, and he was worried about getting the opponent. This was really difficult to grasp.

In the next three days, Huang Zhong and the others continued to go up one by one. At this time, Shanyue seemed a little arrogant. While sending tribe masters to continuously defeat the generals of the official army, the morale of Shanyue's army became more and more prosperous.

In order to ensure the authenticity, Zhao Fei was afraid of the news leaking, so he did not tell the ordinary soldiers of his subordinates the truth. Therefore, after seeing the generals on his side fail one after another, the morale of the army under Zhao Fei was indeed much lower.

Zhao Fei and the others made everything perfectly, and Shan Yue had no doubts at all. Seeing that the officials and soldiers were depressed, they were all ready to move.

"Looking at the situation of Shanyue, I'm afraid I can't hold it back anymore. Zhongkang, Ming** took my personal guards lurking at the west gate of Lifeng County. The rest of the people were waiting for the mountain to attack the camp in this camp. If the county town is empty, Zhongkang will attack immediately." Late at night, in the camp tent, Zhao Fei ordered all his generals. (To be continued.
