Chapter 149 Pull out the camp
The Chenglu Association returned to the Chu army camp without any danger. It took about an hour to calculate the time to go. The Winter Solstice brought him to the festival tent. Xu You summoned all the generals, and the Chenglu Association reported in detail the military information found this time.
As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, the content was so detailed, the wide range of involvement, and the in-depth promotion were all textbooks for intelligence personnel!
Tan Zhuo praised: "Be brave and scheming, and be calm in the face of danger. Master of the Winter Solstice, your secret residence can make great contributions this time!"
Cao Qing was incredible to hear that he pretended to be an enemy general and whipped the enemy a few times, then came back in a hurry. Out of his old and persistent consideration, he asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Tan Xiaozu frowned and said, "General Cao, the secret office has always been rigorous in its actions. I dare to protect this!" He actually was for the sake of Cao Qing's good, for fear that he would offend the secret office if he was careless. After all, he was willing to go deep into the enemy camp, but you are questioning the truth and falsehood here. Zhan Wenjun is far away in Jinling, and the power in the hands of the Winter Solstice is amazing, which annoyed the Master of the Secretariat, and there are endless troubles.
Dong Xie smiled and said, "General Cao asked! Cheng Luhui, where are your credentials?"
Cheng Lu would offer something and said, "This is a jade cup stolen from Yuchi Xin's tent, which is enough for you!"
The identification of antiques is the expertise of a noble family like Yu Teng. He took it and took a look, and smiled and said, "It's a good thing, gentle and bright, and the essence is restrained. He should keep it in his hands all day long, but I don't know if it's Yuchi Xin..."
In fact, everyone has already believed that in this era when jade is even shorter than gold, who else can have such an exquisite jade cup besides a Xianbei noble relative and a general like Yuchi Xin?
"Go and invite the building to get rid of disease!"
Xu You naturally has 100% support and trust in the work of the Secret Palace and the Winter Solstice, but if someone asks questions, it is better to figure it out thoroughly.
After being captured, Lou Quji enjoyed a good treatment for prisoners of war. He was not tortured or abused. Xu You ate and drank whatever he ate and drank. Sometimes he missed the taste of his hometown and had to let the chef give him some of the local characteristics of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The only thing that may not be very comfortable is that his position must be moved with Xu You. In the past six months, he went from Yuzhou to Luozhou and then to Guanzhong, and then back to Luozhou, which was bumpy and erratic.
After taking the jade cup and taking it, Lou Quji said, "This is Yuchi Xin's treasure. When he defeated the Yuanxing rebels, the lord was happy and specially rewarded him. It is said that Cao Zhi used it to drink wine when he wrote the Luo River on the banks of Luo River. He brags all day long and couldn't bear to put it down even when he went to the toilet..."
The antique industry is deep, and it turns out that storytelling has started to be popular since then, and even the emperor cannot avoid the vulgarity. Xu You smiled and said, "Since the information is confirmed, everyone will discuss how to defeat the enemy?"
Lou Quji was very sensible and wanted to leave. Xu You stopped him and said, "Brother Lou, stay, and help you out with ideas."
Lou Quji did not have the courage to refuse, and sat next to the chair, on the upper head on Xu You's left, making up his mind and never saying a word.
Mi Po Chu is the most good at guarding, proficient in various styles of camp maps from ancient times to the present, and he took the lead in saying: "From the camp maps explored by the secret palace, the camp method is extremely superb. With Qian, the Tianmen, Kun, the People's Gate, the Earth's Door, Gen, the Ghost Road, the Four Zhong, and the Four Dimensions, building the Taibai Formation. This formation master kills and changes for no reason. Taibai Star appears and the world is in autumn, and the plants wither. Just like the military power, who can compete?"
Tan Xiaozu thoughtfully and said, "General Mi means that the Wei army is not trying to defend the enemy, but deliberately lure me to attack!"
Mi Po said humbly: "I dare not speak nonsense under the rituals, but I look at it from the camp. Within the eight gates, the sharpness is splashing everywhere. Such sharpness is not vomiting. It should be prepared to deal with our army's strong attack..."
Tan Zhuofuxu said: "Yuchi Xin and Li Chong are the best at defending the camp, but they both lead cavalry and are unwilling to sit in a corner to be trapped and defend. The so-called offense is the best defense. The Taibai formation is the camp, and both offense and defense are both good. General Mi's inference is consistent with common sense."
Zuo Qi took over the conversation and said, "The enemy situation is clear. The Wei army's Luzhuang camp has a total of 7,000 to 8,000 troops, and the arrangements in the camp have been made clear. However, Yuan Mulan's main force arrived in Zhongmu and could go to Luzhuang to support and support at any time. General, time is too late. Even if he attacks for a strong attack, he should take down Luzhuang as soon as possible."
He Ru and other generals also have the same opinion. In the final analysis, the two armies have to compete for strength. The other party is a veteran of a long battle formation and will not easily fall into a trap. Then only the swords and weapons meet and use their strength to decide the outcome!
Xu You followed the advice and immediately raised the platform and issued an order to the entire army. He slowly drew his sword. The dusk light in the afternoon cast a long shadow from behind. His handsome side face, as handsome as an axe, exudes an indescribable unique charm in the flash of light and shadow. His firm, calm and clear voice seemed to the sacred Creator in his ears. "The Lord gave me a scepter to rule the scepter of China and abroad. There is the honor of advancement and death, and there is no humiliation of retreating. I will reward the ancestors with my life, and I will not kill them in the society. The army has no two orders, and the general has no two words. I only hope that all the kings will have the heart of sharp iron and stone and the aura of wind and frost. In this battle, if I am invincible, the Great Chu will win!"
The flags and flags were flying, with mountains and tsunamis roars, everyone was excited, and the thunderous roars swept for dozens of miles, saying, "The Great Chu will win!"
One hour later, Mingjing led 20,000 strikers to approach Luzhuang, and launched a crazy attack from the southeast and northwest directions with an extremely fierce and one-day attitude.
He Ru understood the principles of Yi deeply. If he wanted to break the Taibai camp formation, the southeast and northwest were the best entry points!
The Chu army first faced rows of deer forts and horses. Five hundred axe soldiers wore heavy armor and stepped forward, relying on the long-range firepower of their crossbowmen to suppress them, split the deer fort with an axe, then used a rope to stitch the horses, and pulled them to the side and discarded them in piles, quickly opening up enough roads for subsequent troops to pass.
Because the military situation in advance was too detailed, Ming Jing was well prepared and only more than 30 casualties were injured and killed, which was a good start.
The trenches that are ten to five feet wide and ten to one feet deep form the second line of defense. The flag was waving, and two thousand infantrymen held a log shield, carried bags filled with soil, risked the enemy's extremely accurate arrows, and paid more than two hundred lives. They finally filled the ravines and put them back as before.
Two thousand people came forward in batches and had to fill the soil and do their homework. The shields could not completely cover their bodies. Moreover, most of the Wei people practiced bows and arrows since childhood. Arrows always trickyly passed through their eyes and chests and abdomen from the fleeting gaps, like gorgeous and cruel witchcraft. There was no scattering like rain of arrows in the sky, but a point shot that would be rewarded when it was opened, and the casualties caused were impossible to avoid.
The third line of defense is a high village wall surrounded by a knife trolley and a fence. The bright blades come out of the wall, dense and irregular, like a hedgehog with his back on it, making people have nowhere to start.
There are three levels in the wall, including upper, middle and lower. Each floor stands with swordsmen, spearmen, crossbowmen, and swordsmen. They are used to cut off the bamboo ladders and flying claws of climbing. Spearmen are in the middle and stabbed the enemy's key points through the gaps in the fence. Crossbowmen are on the top, shoot arrows and crossbows first, and wait for the enemy to climb up the wall, and immediately replace them with iron bones with huge lethality. If you swing and smash them desperately, you can beat them down and fall like dandruff.
In addition, a battle tower is built every fifty steps in the battalion, either five or seven floors. Twenty to one hundred archers can be stationed on the building. They can not only observe the enemy situation at any time, provide reference for the decision-making of the main general, but also provide strong firepower support for the robes ahead - they are condescending and even at angles. This three-dimensional defense can put great pressure on the enemy.
At this point, there was no way to fill it with human life. The brave and fearless Chu army deserved any reputation. In just half an hour, blood stained the fence that lasted for miles and slowly immersed in the soil along the wooden pole. The blade stretched out from the wall also became dull in the cutting time and time again. The spear that pierced into the chest through the fence was stuck in the crack of the hard bones. Before he could pull it out, the young man with a smudge on his face cut off the gun rod and then rushed forward with force. The knife in his hand also pierced the enemy's heart.
The person who was alive a little while ago became a corpse under his feet the next moment, but the unyielding and blazing eyes revealed the blood of all the participants from the lieutenant to the military marquis and then to the soldiers.
kill!
Their will is as hard as bones!
Victory belongs to the Great Chu!
"Military leader, the camp gate is broken!"
Ming Jing was waiting for this moment. The Wanjun crossbow opened the distance. After multiple rounds of shooting, he cleared the archers on the battle towers on both sides of the camp gate in the southeast. He then protected both sides with heavy infantrymen and rushed to open the camp gate by rushing the car.
However, the Taibai camp was mainly composed of the central army, with a total of 17 battalions around it, arranged in a six-flower shape. Each battalion was surrounded by baggage trucks and wooden fences. The corridor in the middle was curved and narrow, and the five people could not stand side by side.
"Mingbao rushed in and broke through one or two enemy inner camps, stood firm, and the five hundred people in his troops were not allowed to take a step back!"
The order flag was waving, the left third and fourth, and pointed forward, clearly conveying Mingjing's military order. Bao Zuo, who had just hit the camp gate, immediately shouted loudly: "Po Liangdu, follow me!"
Following him was the chief supervisor Lu Zheng. The two met from the battle of Xuzhou. Over the past three years, they had experienced many wars with Cuiyu's army. They made great contributions by beheading and became the commander of the 500-strong snatch capital from ordinary unknown soldiers. They also stood up for the charge of nearly a thousand cavalrymen outside Chang'an City and were awarded the banner of destroying Liangdu after the war.
This is a great honor, and everyone below the left is willing to guard it with their lives!
As soon as he entered the camp, hundreds of long spears from high places on both sides of the corridor stabbed over, but they only protected their bodies with heavy armor and were on guard. The results were not significant. Bao Zuo did not dodge at all. He was a veteran of the hundred battles, with a sharp eye and let the spear stab the shoulder. No matter the hardness of the spear rod or the sharpness of the spear, they were far from comparable to the equipment of the Chu army. Not only did they not break the armor, they broke it off. He stabbed the spear, and used force to pick a person away.
He was steadily advancing in this way, and was about to reach the end of the corridor. Two crossbows were suddenly in his eyes. Bao Zuo was shocked. Before the order to retreat was reached, he heard the sound of bow strings in his ears. Two huge crossbow arrows were like plowing the caves, and they quickly and dominely penetrated more than fifty people, completely disrupting the formation of the Chu army.
This old-fashioned bed crossbow, which has been widely used on the battlefield since the Han Dynasty, has not been very useful except for being placed on the city wall to enhance courage. Compared with the Chu army's three-bow bed crossbow, it is simply starlight to the moon. However, at this moment, the constraints of terrain and distance have rejuvenated the power of the god of death.
The one who stands invincible!
The spears on both sides took the opportunity to stab each other, and more than 30 people were killed or injured in an instant. Bao Zuo escaped the baptism of the crossbow. He was about to take advantage of the enemy's chance to replace arrows and led everyone to rush over. The rapid footsteps accompanied by a hundred Wei troops holding crossbows appeared at the entrance of the corridor. They stood left and right, forming five rows in front and back. The cold tips of the arrows shone with Xiao Sha's light, and arrived like locusts in an instant.
"Rise the shield, raise the shield!"
The multi-faceted leather shield was raised, and the aggressive impact sounded as if hitting Bao Zuo's heart. His eyes were filled with reluctance and anger. The crossbow was not strong enough, not to kill people, but to stop them from charging, and to buy time for the two crossbows to reload. Once launched again, the good men under his command would probably not be able to escape.
Mingjing's military order made Po Liang take a step back. If he disobeyed, the outcome would be self-evident.
He is not afraid of death, but Po Liang is wearing the most expensive heavy armor and taking on the most important tasks. Facing the greatest danger, dying here meaninglessly is truly irresponsible!
"Get out!"
Bao Zuo resolutely decided to retreat.
Lu was beside him, holding a shield in his left hand and stabbing a gun in an enemy's neck with his right hand. He was shot at the front chest at the same time. The tip of the gun was three inches inside, not fatal, but he was also seriously injured, but he didn't take it seriously and said in a deep voice: "I'll discuss it!"
The Chief Supervisor attached the matter, indicating that the Supervision Department and the Military General stood together and divided the responsibilities later, and the two were guilty of the same crime!
In the end, more than 150 people were killed or injured in Poliang, but they had no choice but to leave the camp. Mingjing failed to expand his advantage and failed to successfully open the gap in other places. The two sides fought from the afternoon to dusk. Just when the battle was in a stalemate, two thousand cavalry of the Wei army suddenly bypassed the rear and appeared on the left wing of the Chu army. Hundreds of horses hung branches behind them, galloping across the radius of ten miles, smoke and dust were everywhere. Only the horse's hooves were heard like thunder, but they could not see the specific movements.
This is a common trick used by the Wei army's light cavalry when attacking. It can create serious panic and psychological pressure on the fighting enemies, and then quietly search for the fighter. As long as the opponent's formation is in a moment of chaos, you can take advantage of the situation to rush in, then drill through, divide, surround, and eat it bit by bit!
Ming Jing had been waiting for them, and the gun and shield soldiers who had not moved on the left wing opened the defense line and remained motionless. The Wei cavalry approached twice in a row and then left, and could not find any flaws. They had to shoot two rounds against the archers behind the defense line, but they could not gain any advantage in the shooting range, so they rode their horses westward.
To the west, it is Xu You's central army!
Ming Jing sneered. He knew that the Wei army had made the best plans, but he still ordered the reserve team located in the rear to stop it. The reserve team of 3,000 people was dispatched urgently, some were fast, some were slow, and some were bumped into each other, and the only major chaos that had occurred since the war started.
The Wei cavalry suddenly turned around and killed a retaliation. Yuchi Xin, the leader, had an excited red light in his eyes. This was a god-given opportunity. As long as he rushed into the formation from the rear, he could cut off the enemy's front and rear troops, and then he took advantage of the chaos to penetrate the commander's flag and kill Mingjing. This battle would be a complete victory.
He licked his chapped lips. It was not a lack of water, but a desire for blood!
Chapter completed!
