190 Night Attack on Yamagoshi
The plan here on Shanyue has been decided and we have started to rest and sleep.
In Taifeng County, in the county government courtyard, Zhao Fei recruited all the generals and was discussing the matter.
The night attack was an idea raised by Zhao Fei. I would like to ask if it is feasible.
After hearing Zhao Fei's remarks, Lu Su pondered for a while and said, "The ideas of the lord and his subordinates coincided with each other. Su also had this idea. However, the troops in the city were too few. Only the lord's personal guards could attack the camp and retreat calmly. However, the number of people was too small. Even if they could succeed, the damage to Shanyue would not be too great. Su was wondering whether he could attack at night and burn food."
"Burn grain?" Zhao Fei frowned and asked.
"There are mountain roads all the way from Jian'an County to Taifeng County. The roads are rugged. The farther and farther the mountain, the military rations I bring will definitely not be much military rations. Now we are implementing tactics of strengthening walls and clearing the fields around Taifeng County. Since there are not many people, we have moved all the people in the surrounding villages to the county town before. Shanyue has not received a grain of food to replenish. If we can burn the enemy's granary by this night attack, it will be easy to destroy the enemy," Lu Su said with a little excitement.
Lu Su has seen Zhao Fei's bright future from this crisis. As long as he solves the last 30,000 Jian'an County Shanyue, then first of all, Linchuan County Shanyue, who is trapped in the mountains and forests, will definitely bow his head and surrender in a while.
After being supplemented by Shanyue soldiers, the Shanyue in other Linhai County and Jian'an County were severely damaged. Zhao Fei could attack and conquer and occupy the three counties in one fell swoop.
Since the emperor appointed Zhao Fei as the General of Pingyue Central Army, as long as he used some means to make some mountains and violent out of these three counties from time to time, Zhao Fei could always occupy the territory of these three counties with the name of Pingyue Central Army General, and even Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, who was on the side, said little.
After all, as long as Shanyue has not been completely pacified, Zhao Fei, the General of Pingyue, will temporarily be the supreme commander on the battlefield against Shanyue. He is directly under the central government of the court and is not under the jurisdiction of Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou.
"But Shanyue Camp is so big, how can you know where the granary is?" Zhao Fei asked.
Lu Su just looked at Shi A. Before he answered, Shi A stood up and volunteered: "Lord, your subordinates and junior brothers can lurk in Shanyue camp and find out the location of Shanyue granary."
Zhao Fei suddenly realized this time and admired Lu Su's meticulous thoughts, but he forgot Shi A.
Shi A and his junior brothers are both practicing the Fish Intestine True Art. The skill of the general, Aifengbu, has a far superior advantage over ordinary people in terms of lurking.
Although Shanyue has many troops, there are no masters in the battalion. The most powerful force is only over eighty, and it is still impossible to sense the existence of the Breaking Wind Step in the dark.
Shi A and his junior brothers, together with more than 20 people, entered Shanyue Camp together to investigate and search the entire camp within one or two hours.
Although Shi A’s junior brothers are not as good as Shi Ali, they all have eighty-year-old force, and the mid-level storm is so careful that they will not be discovered.
"Brother Shi, I'm sorry for you, be careful," Zhao Fei said to Shi.
After Shi A took the order out, he took his junior brothers out of the city to the camp in Shanyue.
There are only more than 5,000 people in the entire county town, and the defense is very tight, so Zhao Fei can only arrange his 1,500 personal guards to attack at night.
"Zhongkang, Hansheng, you two will go and rest first. As long as Brother Shi finds the location of Shanyue Granary, late at night, you two will take my personal guards to attack the night," Zhao Fei said to Xu Chu and Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong and Xu Chu were very powerful, one led the archers and cavalry to shoot rockets on the periphery to cause riots, and the other took the opportunity to charge and burn food and grass, which was the most suitable candidate.
Huang Zhong and Xu Chu all agreed, and after hearing Zhao Fei's words, they all went down to rest.
Zhao Fei ordered the personal guards to start resting, and the Huotou Army began to cook, preparing to give the personal guards a full meal before leaving late at night.
There were only more than 3,000 people in the city who could arrange defensive affairs. Zhao Fei had all been left to Zhang Liao to arrange them, and he also needed to be wary of the possibility of a mountain and night attack.
As the night comes, the cold moon is in the sky, it is considered as the autumn weather is clear and cool.
Shi A had carefully drawn down all the arrangements of Shanyue Camp, and Huang Zhong and Xu Chu had both carefully read them.
In order to prevent Shanyue from being aware of it, Xu Chu and his friends walked around half of Taifeng County before they arrived near Shanyue Daying outside the East Gate.
Huang Zhong and Xu Chu divided the troops. Huang Zhong brought seven hundred archers and cavalrymen, twenty arrow feathers in the arrow bag, and tinder oil igniting materials on the saddle that could be inserted into the arrow feathers. He was preparing to shoot rockets directly in front of Shanyue Camp to burn the camp, greatly attracting the attention of Shanyue Army.
Xu Chu took the Eighth Baier Iron Cavalry and chose the direction of attack to the side and rear of the Shanyue Camp. It was closer to the granary, and everyone carried a torch that had not been lit yet.
Shi A and his team had only more than twenty people. Although they could lurk near the food and grass in Shanyue, the number of people was too small. Even if they could ignite the fire and the fire was too small, it would easily be extinguished by the Shanyue army and would attract their attention.
On the east gate tower, Zhao Fei couldn't sleep. He was waiting for the upcoming drama outside the city in the dark night.
Without further ado, Huang Zhong gave the order, and all the seven hundred cavalrymen of Loufan took out their bows and arrows, inserted the ignition material of the ignition oil on the arrow feathers, and ignited them with fire.
There were so many fires suddenly lit up in the dark night, and such a big noise on Huang Zhong's side naturally attracted the attention of the sentries in the Shanyue Camp.
But it doesn't matter if I notice it. Swish, swish, arrow feathers with fire balls, like meteors, scattered into Shanyue Camp.
There is nothing to shoot into the open space. Anyone who shoots on the tent is now when the sky is dry, and the fire will spread very slowly.
On the city tower, Zhao Fei and Lu Su were excited when they looked at the fire in Shanyue Camp. The plan seemed to be quite smooth at the moment.
Originally, in Zhao Fei's plan, when his internal strength and true energy can be restored tomorrow, he can shoot six waves of far-range shooting, basically taking away more than 10,000 casualties from the Shanyue army. Although there were only 5,000 soldiers in the city, there were many powerful generals. If he fought, he should be able to persevere until the Sun Luoyang and let Shanyue withdraw his troops.
On the third day, Zhao Fei's internal energy of his true energy will be restored. If Shanyue suffers more than 10,000 casualties, he will have no energy to attack the county town again.
This result is a kind of loss-making, or a serious injury to both vitality. It would be better if Zhao Fei defeated Shanyue, there are probably only hundreds of people under his command who can stand up.
Zhao Fei would not choose this method as long as it was not a last resort. If he followed Lu Su's plan and burned down Shanyue's food, it would be a big turnaround. He could defeat the Shanyue army without paying much more.
"Shoot," Huang Zhong calmly issued an order to shoot the second rocket, and did not take the Shanyue soldiers who came out of the camp seriously.
Huang Zhong's command is the Lou Fan Tie Cavalry, who are all veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time. Naturally, they will not be afraid that the enemy troops that have not yet arrived in front of them will shoot out the arrow feathers in their hands calmly and forcefully.
"Retreat," After shooting the second round of arrow feathers, Huang Zhong waited until the Shanyue soldiers were approaching, and all the Loufan Iron Cavalry turned their horses' heads, and Huang Zhong himself cut off the rear.
The soldiers of Shanyue were all infantrymen, so they could not catch up with the very light archers. They could only look at the back of the Loufan Tie Cavalry who was leaving and scolded.
Scolding cannot solve the problem. The fire in the camp has awakened the leader of Shanyue and is organizing soldiers to put out the fire.
Huang Zhong did not leave here. Seeing that Shanyue soldiers stopped chasing each other, they changed direction and went back to shoot rockets.
The fire here has just been extinguished, and the camp there has been ignited by rockets falling from the sky, which has made the leader of Shanyue feel a little furious.
"Chasing, chase me constantly, and don't let these enemy troops get close to the camp," the leader of Shanyue ordered to his soldiers.
But how flexible the archers were, the infantry was just eating badly after chasing them. Huang Zhong could always turn a big turn and rush back to the camp and shoot two more arrows.
This made the leader of Shanyue more angry. The feeling of having no way to deal with the enemy was really unhappy. In desperation, he could only send more soldiers.
Even later, the leader of Shanyue distributed all the archers to the front of the camp. If Huang Zhong's archers dared to come, they would shoot arrows immediately.
In this case, Huang Zhongcai could not find the opportunity to go forward and shoot arrows, but he did not leave. Instead, he kept walking back and forth with Shanyue infantry on the periphery, attracting the attention of Shanyue army.
Wang Er in the camp was also awakened. He looked at the actions of the government army and felt very strange. The shooting of a rocket would not cause too much fire and would not have any effect. What was the intention of the government army to do this? Could it be the plan of the tired army?
Wang Er seemed to feel that something had not been thought of, but he just couldn't think of it. While he was lowering his head and thinking with all his heart, he heard the noise of killing in the back camp, and then saw the sudden fire in the granary, and then he realized it.
The purpose of the official army was a granary. Wang Er was very shocked and his eyes were wide open. He looked at the fire like this and then the empty camp. All the soldiers were attracted by the official army in front. At this moment, not many people noticed the fire in the rear camp.
After all, many tents here were lit, and many soldiers were extinguishing the fire in an orderly manner. The fire in the granary is still inconspicuous. They had not thought about the granary and only thought that a certain tent was on fire.
Wang Er was a little depressed. It seemed that the Wang family had put a lot of effort behind the scenes, but Zhao Fei easily resolved it. This was really terrible.
Shanyue's defeat was settled, and the leader of Shanyue was still commanding the infantry to drive away Huang Zhong's cavalry. He had not noticed something strange behind him. Wang Er did not intend to remind him, and the reminder was useless. He had no time to put out the fire in the granary.
Now Wang Er feels that the most important thing is no longer to help Shanyue defeat Zhao Fei, but to get out immediately, kill the craftsmen who were informed, and then return to Luoyang to put the Wang family away from this matter, and then talk to the head of the family in detail about Zhao Fei's power.
