Chapter 2144 Who said they were going to attack?
Wang Hui and Tian Hu were overjoyed when they heard this. The Wei army had been frequently harassed by the Shu army these days, but they could not fight back with heavy blows. This made all the soldiers of the Wei army secretly hold their breath. This time Shi Bao decided to attack at night, which naturally made the Wei generals very excited. It was time to teach these rats some lessons.
The reason why Shi Bao chose to attack in the middle of the night was based on the information provided by the scouts. The Infantry Association sent thousands of troops out of the mountain to challenge every day, trying to lure the Wei army into the mountain to pursue it. However, the Wei army was not fooled at all, but the Shu army could not play a plan to empty the city. Even if the Wei army did not come, they would send troops to the ambush site to ambush. After the Wei army confirmed their retreat, they would stop their troops and return to the mountain village.
Therefore, during the day, the Wei army could not attack. The Shu army was fully prepared and set up an ambush on the road that the Wei army must pass. If the Wei army chose to attack during the day, it would be equivalent to step into the ambush circle of the Shu army.
Shi Bao certainly does not make such mistakes, so if you want to attack Huya Mountain, you must avoid this period of daytime and choose to attack at night. Although the difficulty of attacking at night is much greater than that during the day, Shi Bao seems to have no other choice.
Moreover, judging from the reconnaissance results of the scouts, the Shu army's work and rest were very regular. They would usually enter the ambush position at the time of Mao, and then spend more than half a day there. Then after the You hour, they would evacuate the ambush position after confirming that the Wei army had withdrawn.
Although there was no battle, the Shu army ran back and forth between the garrison and the ambush point, and it took half a day to spend, which was actually enough for them to be tired. Moreover, after the Shu army evacuated to the garrisoned mountain village, they did not gather together, but were scattered among several mountain villages. The mountain village was also far away from the mountain. Therefore, in the subconscious of the Shu army, they were not worried that the Wei army would come to attack.
Perhaps the Shu army was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so it might be possible to set up a suspicious formation, but Shi Bao had no choice now. His goal was to march into the Guanting. If he was just consuming it with Bu Xie, Shi Bao could not afford it. So no matter whether the Shu army had ambush or not, Shi Bao would have to give it a try.
After obtaining more detailed information, Shi Bao also formulated a detailed offensive plan. During the day, the Shu army would ambush in the mountains. Of course, the Wei army would not launch an attack during this period and fall into the ambush circle of the Shu army.
After all, the ambush point of the Shu army was naturally beneficial to the Shu army on the terrain. Even if the Wei army knew the situation of the Shu army, they would not get any advantage in fighting. Therefore, when Shi Bao formulated an attack plan, he deliberately avoided this period of daytime.
The only time left is night. Of course, the difficulty of attacking at night is not ordinary. The roads in Huya Mountain are winding and covered with thorns. Even if you walk during the day, it is difficult. It is dark at night. If you want to enter the mountain in the dark, this challenge is indeed extraordinary.
Moreover, the Wei army could not lit a fire to light the light when entering the mountain. Once the fire was raised, the fire could be seen dozens of miles away, which would undoubtedly reveal the whereabouts of the Wei army.
So Shi Bao could only choose to enter the mountain when there is moonlight on sunny days. Today is October 13th, approaching the full moon. In addition, it is a rare sunny day, so Shi Bao decided to take action tonight.
Now that it is autumn and winter, the weather in Jingzhou is mainly cloudy and rainy, and it is rare to have a few days clear in a month. And it is almost the second half of the month, and the moonlight will become dimmer day by day. If you really can't catch up with a good weather by the end of the month, you probably won't have another chance to attack this month.
After learning that they were about to march tonight, Wang Hui and Tian Hu were extremely excited. They had been waiting for this moment for several days. They were harassed by the Shu army every day. They wanted to fight back, but they were always short and powerless. They could only win dozens of heads every day, which was really not very powerful.
Of course they were very happy to have the opportunity to attack in full force now. Although they also knew the difficulty of sneak attacks at night, the Wei army had not fought any battles over the years, and this difficulty really scared them.
Wang Hui said that this time he must attack the Shu army's nest and hit them hard.
But Shi Bao said: "No, it's just a marching tonight. After arriving at the designated location, you need to lurk immediately. The real battle is tomorrow morning."
Wang Hui and Tian Hu were stunned. When they received the order, they thought they wanted to mobilize troops to steal the camp and rob the village, but unexpectedly, Shi Bao said in person that he would not fight tonight and that the war would be left until tomorrow to fight. What is this situation?
Logically speaking, the Wei army launched an attack in the middle of the night, and most of the Shu army were resting at this time. Sneak attack was the best offensive move. If you wait until the next day to attack, the Shu army would be in a uniform lineup and tight defenses, would Shi Bao not be worried about hitting a nail?
Wang Hui expressed his thoughts. After hearing this, Shi Bao laughed and said, "Who said he wanted to attack the Shu army's hamlet?"
Wang Hui was even more confused and said, "The governor is not going to sneak attack the Shu army's camp, so what is the march?"
Shi Bao smiled mysteriously and said, "Using the way of others, we can also treat them. The Bu Xie sent troops to fight every day, trying to lure our army into his encirclement, encircle and annihilate them, and it is impolite to come without going. Our army just needs to set up an ambush halfway and attack them against the ambush."
Sneak attack on the Shu army's camp? Shi Bao was just thinking about this idea. If you really want to implement it, it would be extremely difficult.
First of all, Bu Xie, the chief general of the Shu army, was not an unknown person. He served as the governor of Xiling for many years when he was in Wu. He knew the situation of Xiling well and had extremely rich experience. When he encountered the right army of Wei army in Yunmengze, Bu Xie took advantage of his familiarity with Yunmengze to easily get rid of the pursuit of the Wei army. Therefore, when fighting in Huya Mountain, Bu Xie first took the advantage of the right time and place, which no one could shake.
Secondly, is the squatter established by the Bujiao Association so easy to fight? Based on the Bujiao Association's familiarity with Huya Mountain, he must know where the key points are and where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, the squatter established by the Shu army must be on the necessary path of the Wei army, and the terrain is very dangerous, a typical squatter that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Moreover, even if the Shu army is negligent in preventing, the BFA is not stupid enough to be unpredictable. As long as the BFA sends a small number of troops to guard the road up the mountain, if the Wei army wants to attack, it is to try to climb the sky, and the chance of success is slim.
