Chapter 787 Making a Feint to the East and Attacking in the West
"Kill the Liangzhou soldiers!"
Thousands of Liangzhou soldiers suddenly rushed out from the east gate and quickly attacked the Liangzhou Army's East Camp outside the city.
Whoosh whoosh!
Thousands of arrows rained down from the sky and poured heavily on the Dongda Camp of the Liangzhou Army. Under the cover of the arrow rain, the Yizhou Army holding torches launched a fierce attack on the Dongda Camp of the Liangzhou Army. The Liangzhou army was caught off guard and fell into a bitter battle for a while.
"Put up your antlers and guard against the enemy!"
However, the Liangzhou Army in the camp was experienced in many battles after all. Although they were temporarily confused by the Yizhou Army's night attack, they quickly reacted and, under the leadership of officers at all levels, led the army in After the antlers and the horse rifle, be careful to prevent the enemy from attacking.
The Yizhou Army launched a night attack out of nowhere, so naturally there were army sergeants flying horses to report to the Chinese Army.
"Zhang Zhennan! The enemy troops in the city raided our Dongda camp. Do you want to go out to fight back?"
Although the elite Liangzhou army encountered a surprise attack, they quickly reacted after losing some of their troops. Not only did they hold on to the camp, but they also gathered troops and horses to counterattack at any time.
However, Zhang Jia smiled slightly and shook his head: "No need, this is just a plan of the enemy to attack in the east and attack in the west. The entire army is ordered to hold fast and not to leave the camp to counterattack without the order of the general."
Although Tan Shao was confused, he did not dare to object to the command to open his jaw, so he had no choice but to nod and run out.
Fazheng on the side smiled and said: "Congratulations to General Zhang, it seems that it won't take long to capture Jiangzhou City and Fuling City. By then, our army and the general will march in two directions and join forces under Chengdu. "
He opened his jaw with a smile and said nothing.
Without Zhang Jia's order, the Liangzhou Army in the city did not dare to leave the camp despite being fiercely attacked by the Yizhou Army. After all, the Liangzhou Army had strict military discipline, and there was never a good outcome for violating military orders.
Yan Yan personally supervised the fierce attack and saw that the Liangzhou army had not left the city. Although he was a little confused, he felt relieved.
"Wu Lan should have fought his way out by now, right?"
Yan Yan led his army out of the east gate to attack the east camp of the Liangzhou Army at night. Suddenly, flames shot into the sky and shouts of killing were heard everywhere. The attention of the Liangzhou Army was naturally focused on the east gate. At this moment, the people of Fuling City The west door opens slowly
A group of Yizhou soldiers took advantage of the darkness and slowly walked out of the west gate. There were about 3,000 people on this military horse. They choked each other, and the horse was bitten. The four hooves of the war horse were wrapped in cotton and walked quietly through the west gate. When they came out, the leading general had a dark complexion, and it was even more difficult to distinguish him in the dark night.
Seeing that there were no enemy troops outside the city, Wu Lan couldn't help but said with great joy: "Kill out, quickly!"
Wu Lan urged, and the three thousand Yizhou troops under his command hurriedly accelerated, trying not to make any noise, quickly passed through the west gate, and galloped towards the vast night.
It turned out that after Yan Yan agreed to Wu Lan's army to rescue Jiangzhou City, he was worried that Wu Lan might be stopped by Zhang Jia's army, so after some thought, he set up this plan of "attacking the east and attacking the west": at night, Yan Yan personally He led the main force to storm the Dongda Camp of the Liangzhou Army, not to actually defeat the enemy at night, but to attract the Liangzhou Army's attention. After the Liangzhou Army's attention was attracted to the Dongda Camp, Wu Lan He took the opportunity to open the west gate and break out from the west gate.
The Liangzhou Army will definitely be attracted by Yan Yan's night attack, and Wu Lan will naturally pay less attention when leaving the city, so there will be no problem. However, how Wu Lan entered Jiangzhou City depended entirely on his own ability. After all, Yan Yan could not give up Fuling City. If the Liangzhou Army followed suit, it would definitely not end well.
"Sure enough" just as Yan Yan expected, after Wu Lan took advantage of the darkness to break out of the west gate that night, he broke through the encirclement towards Jiangzhou City without any obstruction.
Wu Lan rode on the horse and smiled happily: "General Yan's plan is indeed brilliant. I have indeed left Fuling City now. When I enter Jiangzhou City tonight, Jiangzhou will be safe."
After three thousand Yizhou soldiers passed by slowly, a human figure suddenly emerged from the forest on the side. He was wearing black clothes and black armor, holding a war horse in his hand. He was clearly a cavalry scout of the Liangzhou Army.
"The Yizhou Army has left the city and must report to General Ma immediately!"
In Ma Teng's camp, a scout came back to report the news. After receiving the news, Ma Teng was naturally overjoyed. He personally led his troops to garrison the camp and ordered his son Ma Xiu to lead five thousand cavalry out of the camp. Set up an ambush halfway.
At the same time, Zhang Jaw also dispatched five thousand troops and horses, quietly leaving the camp and heading towards Jiangzhou City.
It turned out that after Ma Teng set up this strategy, he had already sent someone to inform Zhang Jia. After some discussions with Fazheng, Zhang Jia set up this plan to make it a success. Yan Yan knew that after the Liangzhou army besieged Jiangzhou, he Rescue will definitely be sent, and the Liangzhou Army can set up an ambush halfway and take the opportunity to ambush the Yizhou Army. After swallowing this part of the Yizhou Army, the enemy's strength will be weakened again. When the time comes, they will launch a fierce attack, whether it is Jiangzhou City. , Fuling or Crock Village, they can all be won in one fell swoop.
But Wu Lan didn't know anything about this and led his army to Jiangzhou City.
"quick!"
Three thousand Yizhou troops marched on the road. Although Wu Lan was impatient, he was not reckless. He also sent cavalry scouts ten miles ahead. Once they encountered traces of the enemy, these scouts could quickly report back. So Wu Lan was not worried.
So far, no scouts have reported military information, which naturally makes Wu Lan feel relieved. Doesn't this mean that there is no military information?
But at this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and Wu Lan couldn't help but change his expression.
what happened? Could it be an earthquake?
No, no, it's not an earthquake! Rather like a large group of cavalry!
Wu Lan's complexion suddenly changed. He raised his head and looked forward, his complexion even more ugly. He saw a black cloud suddenly appeared on the opposite horizon. Thousands of cavalry galloped fiercely on the ground, and the horses' hooves trampled like thunder god's drums. The mallet struck the ground, making a rumble.
When the three thousand Yizhou troops saw a sudden enemy attack on the opposite side, they immediately became confused, but Wu Lan was puzzled.
Why did the enemy army suddenly appear out of thin air? Why didn't the scout report back?
Suddenly, Wu Lan seemed to understand that the enemy troops were all cavalry, and there were so many of them. The scouts sent out might have been hunted down by the enemy troops. Without the scouts, the army was like a blind man. The Liangzhou Army naturally took the initiative in this aspect.
Without time to think about all this, Wu Lan shouted loudly: "The whole army is ready to meet the enemy and form a formation!"
Although the three thousand Yizhou troops were in panic, they still united after hearing Wu Lan's order, and all arms were combined into formation.
