Chapter 1567 The wolf smoke rises
The smoke of wolfs means that Deng Ai has successfully led his army to the back of Hukou Cliff. This signal is the signal that they launched a front and back attack. Ma Long and Qian Hong were always worried about Deng Ai's safety. Seeing that he was safe and sound, they were overjoyed. Now that the signal was together, the two immediately led their troops to Hukou Cliff.
Yesterday, Ma Long and Qian Hong had launched several attacks on Hukou Cliff. They almost found out the road conditions of Hukou Cliff and the Sima Army's station. When they launched another attack today, they were naturally familiar with the road and rushed to the bottom of Hukou Cliff in one breath.
At this moment, the Sima army was on high alert. Yesterday, the Bingzhou army had already reached the front of the mountain. The two sides had experienced a brief battle. However, in front of the Sima army with tight defense, the Bingzhou army, which rushed to launch an attack, seemed to have not taken any advantage. After attacking several times, they finally returned in disgrace.
However, Chen Qian did not dare to be careless at all. Although he won the first battle, Chen Qian could also see that the so-called attack of the Bingzhou army was just a tentative attack. It was just to reconnaise the Sima army's defense situation. He did not do all his efforts at all. Haven't you seen a tens of thousands of troops, and he retreated in a hurry after only a few dozen corpses of attack. It was clearly just a test, and the real evil battle was still behind.
Chen Qian was not afraid of this. He came here to block the Sima army. If he was afraid of the Bingzhou army, he would naturally not come here. As the saying goes, those who come are not afraid, and those who are afraid do not come. Before Chen Qian arrived at Hukou Cliff, he had already made sufficient psychological preparations and prepared to fight tough battles and fight life and death.
It was not beyond Chen Qian's expectations that the Bingzhou army did not go anywhere else, but chose to march from Mount Tai. Chen Qian was not complacent because he guessed the Bingzhou army's march route. When he heard that the Bingzhou army arrived in the mountains, a hint of worry flashed across Chen Qian's face.
Sima Yong only dispatched 20,000 troops to him, but the Bingzhou army attacked this time was several times his. This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Chen Qian. You must know that the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army has never been measured by number. In Jizhou, the Bingzhou army defeated more than 500,000 Sima army with only more than 100,000 people, which shows how terrifying its combat effectiveness is.
In the past, the Bingzhou Army could win more with less in almost every battle. Now they have an advantage in military strength and have a stable chance of winning. The defense line of Sima Army has long been broken, and the Qingzhou army has had to fight alone. In such a situation, winning a battle is already a luxury. If you can remain unbeaten, you can already burn incense.
Therefore, when it was night, a general under his command suggested to Chen Qian that he would attack at night while the Bingzhou army was unstable, and give the Bingzhou army a warning and severely hit the morale of the Bingzhou army.
Chen Qian glanced at the man indifferently and sneered. The person who made such a plan was either his mind or the rookie who had never been on the battlefield at all. Who was the leader of the Bingzhou Army this time? Just looking at the name Deng, you can tell that he was Deng Ai, the first general under Cao Liang's tent.
Deng Ai is good at fighting for a long time, has a strange strategy, and is good at making changes. Isn’t this trick of robbing the camp in the middle of the night? Isn’t it a way to kill himself? Now Sima’s army relies on the advantage of the advantage of the geographical location to defend the pass, and may have a chance to successfully block it, but if he attacks rashly, he will lose the rice.
Not only did Chen Qian dare not go to the camp to rob, but instead needed to strengthen his vigilance to prevent Deng Ai from attacking in the middle of the night.
It can be seen that during the day, the Bingzhou Army's attack was purely reconnaissance, and it is very likely that Deng Ai would take advantage of the night to launch an attack. For the Bingzhou Army, the attack during the day was very difficult. In the night, under the cover of the night, the difficulty of the attack would be smaller.
Therefore, Chen Qian ordered the entire Sima army to be on guard. The combat troops on the front line needed to be strong and could not give the Bingzhou army any opportunity to take advantage of.
However, they were peaceful this night. Chen Qian did not dare to go to steal the camp, and the Bingzhou army did not dare to attack. The two sides confronted each other across a mountain, but there was no conflict in the end.
Since the Bingzhou Army did not launch a night attack, it might attack again during the day, but what made Chen Qian more puzzled was that there was no movement on the Bingzhou Army for the whole morning, and Chen Qian was a little confused. What was the medicine sold in Deng Ai's gourd?
Logically speaking, the Bingzhou Army's tentative attack yesterday had almost figured out the situation near Hukou Cliff. Today, it should have launched a large number of troops and launched a strong attack. There is no reason why they will stop moving forward?
Could it be that Deng Ai learned about the situation in Hukou Cliff and retreated due to the difficulties?
This seems unlikely. After all, the Bingzhou Army launched a large-scale army to advance eastward this time, and its target was aimed directly at Qingzhou. How could it be that it could retreat just because of a small Tiger Quarter? With Chen Qian's understanding of Deng Ai, this guy should be holding his ultimate move. His current peace is just a sign of the arrival of the storm.
But Chen Qian could not guess what Deng Ai had any tricks. All he could do now was to be on guard and respond to changes in the face of constant change.
Just after noon, I heard shouts in front of the mountain, and the Bingzhou army rushed over like a tide. Judging from the situation, it was obviously launching a full-scale attack.
Here comes! Chen Qian was excited, and the Bingzhou Army could not hold back. After a quiet morning, he launched a sudden attack. Fortunately, the Sima Army did not relax, and all the soldiers were in the best combat position, which was just enough to strike the Bingzhou Army head-on.
Chen Qian was about to issue a combat order, but suddenly a lieutenant next to him showed a look of horror on his face, pointed to the direction behind him, and said to Chen Qian: "General, look--"
Chen Qian's attention was all on the road in front of the mountain. He had no eyes behind him, so he naturally would not pay attention to the situation behind him. At this time, he heard the captain's words and looked back with a little surprise. He saw a wave of wolf smoke rising and soaring into the sky.
What is this situation? Is it reinforcements or is there an enemy attack?
Chen Qian was a little confused. If it were reinforcements, he would have received a report in advance. If it was an enemy attack, he had blocked Hukou Cliff. This was the only road from Mount Tai to Linzi. How could the Bingzhou army go around behind them?
But no matter what, wolf smoke is real. It is obvious that the Bingzhou Army launched a sudden attack in front of the mountain at this time, which is obviously inseparable from the wolf smoke signal. Chen Qian suddenly felt cold in his heart and he secretly called out terrible. It seems that he has been trapped in the front and back attacks of the Bingzhou Army.
