"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay, Zilong led a few hundred people and frightened Yuan Tan's tens of thousands of people. He is worthy of Zhao Zilong, who is ready to fight under Xiaoguan City!"
Lu Bu was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. From yesterday's sparrow battle when he harassed Yuan Tan's army, to using various methods to manipulate the opponent at night, he felt very happy just thinking about the anger on the faces of the Northern Army.
There were not many enemy troops strangled, not even a thousand people. The problem is, the more painful the enemy is, the happier I am.
This kind of sparrow fighting and kite flying is definitely a pioneering style of play in the Three Kingdoms, and it is a huge test for morale and character.
Of course, there are many prerequisites for this kind of gameplay. The first is the terrain. Several raids and retreats relied on the cover of Qishan; secondly, Yuan Jun was tired and slow in movement when he returned to camp; these conditions are almost indispensable. .
"If I had known that Qishan was so useful, we should have set up a stronghold on it early in the morning." After putting down the battle report sent back by Gao Shun, Lu Bu regretted missing out on a good game.
If they had occupied it before, they should have been able to kill more Northern troops.
"If it had been occupied before, and our army's geographical advantage was so obvious, the Northern Army would definitely not advance the camp." Chen Gong analyzed, twirling his beard.
This is true. As long as you give up the passage and return to the open area of the plain, you will no longer be threatened by Qi Mountain. Lu Bu nodded: "Zilong and his men will cause trouble every now and then. Sooner or later, Yuan Tan can't stand it anymore and will retreat. When the time comes, We will lead the cavalry in the army and take advantage of the chaos to chase and kill, and we will definitely defeat the national army!" Lu Bu hit his left palm hard with his right fist. He guessed that this was the opportunity that Lin Mo had obtained by setting up a stronghold on the mountain.
"Yuan Tan will not withdraw his troops, at least not without suffering heavy losses."
Lu Bu turned his eyes and looked at his son-in-law with suspicion, "Why don't you withdraw? If I withdraw immediately!"
"My father-in-law."
Lin Mo smiled slightly and explained: "Cao's army won a great victory in Baima City, and the three army generals were captured. Yuan's army was shocked. At this time, a victory is extremely important to encourage Yuan's army.
So I guess that Yuan Tan must have sent a quick horse to deliver the battle report to the Western Front battlefield about the massive defeat of our cavalry in the past few days, and he will tell Yuan Shao in the battle report that the Northern Army has the advantage and Dazhai is moving forward. Fifteen miles.
What would Yuan Shao think if he retreated immediately? He will think that Yuan Tan is really a idiot. The camp of 200,000 people was forced to retreat by tens of thousands of us. In today's turbulent undercurrent of the Yuan family's struggle to seize the direct descendants, Yuan Tan will not let such a thing happen. "
With this explanation, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Lu Bu's face. He couldn't help but stand up from the handsome chair, his sword eyebrows raised, "Yunwen, so Yuan Tan will not withdraw in the short term? That Zilong has busy.
Hahaha, I even suspected that you were deliberately showing weakness to Yuan Tan and leading him into the passage. "
Just like Jia Xu glanced at Lu Bu, I am also suspicious, but I have no evidence.
In the Central Military Office, Lu Bu was rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth, so excited that he couldn't help himself.
It has to be my son-in-law. The issue is not only the Qingzhou front, but also the internal issues of the Northern Kingdom.
Damn it, what happened to me in the beginning? I didn't even listen to what he said, which almost caused a disaster.
No, no, from now on, I have to listen to his arrangements. As a family, he can't harm me.
"Yunwen, if Yuan Tan really doesn't retreat according to what you said, then Boping and Zilong will be under great pressure on the mountain." Although they occupied a favorable location, they only brought 5,000 people up there. Lu Bu A little uneasy.
"So, now that the military camp is complete, we need a resourceful think tank to take charge. This can ensure the stability of the Qishan camp."
Lu Bu's eyes narrowed, his face darkened, and he said firmly: "You can't go!"
There are only five thousand people on the mountain. If there is an emergency, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and the others will have no problem rushing out. Lu Bu is still very aware of his son-in-law's poor martial arts skills, even if others don't know about them.
"Why not? The Qishan camp is related to the survival of our army!" Well, Lin Mo had no intention of going by himself, but after Lu Bu said that, who else could he send? It seemed that whoever he sent would be biased, so he Facing Lu Bu, his eyes kept fluttering towards Jia Xu's position.
Lu Bu was just reckless, not completely brainless. He still understood the implication that it was too late to put it on the table. He immediately coughed twice and said, "It is precisely because the Qishan Camp is related to the survival of our army that you can't go, because you are still too young." Sorry, I don’t have enough experience to take on this important responsibility.”
After speaking, Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu, who had been staying behind Chen Gong, folded his arms and said proudly: "In the entire military camp, only Wen He is resourceful and has rich military experience. No one except him is responsible for this important life and death task." Can take responsibility.”
Lin Mo also looked at Jia Xu and nodded, "Okay, if it's Mr. Jia, then I have nothing to say. I have also benefited a lot from studying the art of war with Mr. Jia these days.
The father-in-law is right, Mr. Jia can naturally take on this important task, but I didn't expect that the father-in-law would be willing to let Mr. Jia out easily. "
"Hey, how can this be considered an easy escape? Qishan Camp is a matter of life and death. Wen He, this matter is settled. I will send a team of people to escort you up the mountain later."
Jia Xu:.
That's enough for you two sons-in-law. Who do you think is a fool?
However, Jia Xu had no choice but to bow uneasily and accept the order.
"Actually, just leave this matter to Chen Gong." After everyone left the Chinese military tent, Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo.
"Master-in-law, you want Chen Gong to go just because you think Chen Gong has higher credibility than Jia Xu."
Lin Mo opened the scar without any politeness, "Don't Wei Xu and the others have more credibility in your mind? Can they handle things?"
Lu Bu had a black line on his head. He was telling the truth and there was no way to refute it.
"Besides, it is definitely more appropriate for Jia Xu to do this than Chen Gong. My father-in-law just trusts me." Can you joke that this is a life-threatening thing? The old scumbag must not dare to hold anything back. Jia Xu, who is full of firepower, must She is the one who has the upper hand over Chen Gong.
On the top of Qishan Mountain, this Dazhai is newly established. The surrounding trees have been cleared very clean. Moreover, Gao Shun has judged the wind direction of this season and will increase the clearing area accordingly to ensure that there is no danger of being attacked by fire.
Zhao Yun followed Gao Shun and inspected the mountains in this area, including where there were cliffs, where there were steep passages, and where they could climb quickly. Afterwards, Gao Shun would arrange for sergeants to conduct inspections according to the situation.
At the same time, an emergency plan has also been made. In the event of an emergency, which units should be guarded at which positions, personnel arrangements, and the deployment of the number of troops are all particular.
In terms of personal bravery and charge, none of the three Gao Bopings could match Zhao Yun, but in terms of commanding and arranging troops, Zhao Yun was just a younger brother now.
After all, he was a military prince under Gongsun Zan, and now he was a captain in Luying, but most of the time he just trained cavalry and archery troops.
This is also the reason why Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can crush Xu Chu and Dian Wei in terms of overall strength, because in addition to their outstanding personal martial arts skills, they also have two skills in leading troops.
Once he set up a stronghold for the vanguard, and once he captured the whole mountain and deployed troops, Zhao Yun learned many useful methods of control from Gao Shun.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun is also an extremely humble person. He not only keeps Gao Shun's teachings in mind, but is also able to draw inferences about other cases.
"Zilong's understanding is still very high. If he can soak it in for a few years, he will not lose to Wenyuan in his ability to command troops." Gao Shun, who was paralyzed, sat on a stone to take a nap after walking around.
"Bo Ping spoke highly of General Zhang." The generals under Lu Bu all have one characteristic: they are unruly and rarely praise others.
Zhao Yun thought about it and found that Zhang Liao seemed to be an exception. He liked to boast and his brain circuit was also different.
"If he can do this kind of thing where a few thousand men and horses defend a mountain city or a pass, I can do it too."
Gao Shun brushed his face with his hands to get a hint of coolness, and said slowly: "But when it comes to the dispatch of tens of thousands of troops and the control of the timing of the battle, I am far behind him."
"I hope I have the opportunity to ask him for advice." In this regard, Zhao Yun was still blank and a little yearning.
"There's a chance."
Gao Shun nodded, then pointed to the distance, "Let's go, we need to get more familiar with that hilly area."
The two of them were busy patrolling outside and familiarizing themselves with the terrain. Jia Xu hid in the military tent, took out a turtle shell and shook it in the air. There was a clanking sound of metal colliding inside the turtle shell. After a while, he shook the turtle shell. Yang, three copper coins symbolizing the round sky and the square earth fell out.
"Thunder and fire are abundant, and the sun is slanting at noon."
He nodded with satisfaction and murmured: "Shang Shang hexagram, Shang Shang good luck, I don't dare to think about miraculous achievements. How much you eat and how much you use are all determined by fate. It's enough to just stay safe and secure in this village. "
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Here, Jia Xu is on pins and needles every day. Although the fortress at the front occupies a favorable location, it is too dangerous. He also knows that Yuan Tan does not intend to retreat. Obviously, a storm will be launched sooner or later. .
Jia Xu is a little depressed, why don't you, Lin Yunwen, come by yourself? You have to let me, an old man, do it. It's shameful!
Just as Jia Xu expected, in the next few days, Yuan Jun tried several times to seize Qishan's stronghold. They used false claims to the east to attack the west, used a combination of falsehood and reality, and also used sneak attacks at night. All of them were defeated by Gao Shun.
Although Lu Jun on the mountain stronghold suffered some casualties, Yuan Jun's casualties were obviously more severe.
In the Yuan Jun camp at the foot of the mountain, Yuan Tan was pacing back and forth, while everyone in the tent lowered their heads and said nothing.
In the past few days, Yuan's army had defeated more than 1,600 people on Qishan. Each time, they could only attack about a mile away from the stronghold before being unable to advance any further.
Even if they advance in three directions, the effect will not be great, mainly because the mountains are too dangerous.
The only benefit was that in this offensive situation, Zhao Yun did not dare to come at night. He had to maintain his energy to prepare for the possible bloody battle.
The problem is that if the camps on Qishan are not leveled, the army will always be controlled by others, which will be uncomfortable.
"Sir, according to the current confrontation situation, Qishan is the key to victory or defeat. Only by withdrawing from the current position and letting Qishan's advantage disappear can we find another chance to win."
In fact, Tian Feng's suggestion is understandable. From his perspective, there is no need to hesitate in making such a choice.
It's a pity that he is not Yuan Tan and will not understand Yuan Tan's worries.
When he was in Qingzhou and wanted to stabilize his position as the heir apparent, he always reported good things but not bad things. Once he stepped back, Yuan Shang didn't know how many "good things" he would say in front of Yuan Shao.
Coupled with the cooperation of his two loyal supporters Shen Pei and Pang Ji, Yuan Tan could not accept this happening.
"Because Qishan is the key to victory or defeat, you only need to find a way to recapture Qishan. There is no need to say anything else!" Yuan Tan, who had already suffered a loss, finally became dissatisfied with Tian Feng's repeated mention of this matter. .
"If we go by the current garrison on Qishan Mountain, even if our army swarms up, it won't do much unless we can attract some of the troops in the village." Zhao Rui personally led his troops to rush through once, and he knows the situation there best.
"There are only four to five thousand people in the village. It must have been carefully planned. How can we divide the troops easily." Tian Feng shook his clothes and said coldly.
"What Mr. Yuan Hao said is true. The soldiers in the village are all responsible for guarding the village. It is impossible to come out easily unless"
The sound of 'unless' whetted everyone's appetite, and even Tian Feng couldn't help but turn his head and look at him, "Unless there is enough bait outside to attract them out of the village."
"Sir, what do you mean?" Yuan Tan became somewhat interested.
"There are still three days until the full moon night. Even with the bright moon in the sky, all the situations at the foot of the mountain cannot be hidden from the eyes of Lu Jun on the mountain. This is their advantage, and they may not be able to use this advantage in turn."
Xin Ping paused, looked at Yuan Tan, and said with a hint of cunning, "However, the master may need to coordinate the soldiers."
"Sir, please give me a quote!" Seeing Xin Ping's excitement, it didn't look like a suggestion, but definitely a confident strategy. He immediately stood up from the handsome chair and walked in front of him.
After Xin Ping revealed the plan in detail, Yuan Tan's eyes flashed with excitement, and then his brows tightened slightly, "Although there are some sacrifices, it is all worth it."
Turning to Zhao Rui, "General Zhao, according to Sir's plan, at least half of the Lu troops in the stronghold will be lured out. The remaining troops should be between 2,000 and 2,500. How many do you need?" How many soldiers and horses can we capture the top of Mount Qishan before Lu Bu’s reinforcements arrive?”
Zhao Rui lowered his head and pondered for a moment. If he only faced Qishan guarded by more than 2,000 people, and calculated based on the previous battle losses and blocking edge, Zhao Rui raised his eyes and said: "With 20,000 soldiers, we will surely win before dawn." All the way to the top of the mountain!”
"good!"
Yuan Tan walked towards the handsome chair, sat down again and said loudly, "I will allocate you 20,000 troops. They don't need to fight in these three days. They can rest and recuperate. On the night of the full moon in three days, they must take down Qishan in one go!"
"Please rest assured, young master, if we fail to win, the general will be willing to serve as a military commander!"
Xin Ping's suggestion was indeed watertight, and Tian Feng didn't find any problems with it.
However, as a conservative, he still felt that such a move was too rash.
There was no way, he knew that he could not come up with any strategy to defeat the enemy, and Yuan Tan would not listen to his suggestions.
Hopefully, Xin Ping's method will work.
Judging from the big banner, Lin Mo is now in the camp and not in Qishan. There must be no clues about this operation based on the few generals.
After Zhao Rui left, Yuan Tan looked at Han Ju again, "General, the next few days are particularly important. Please lead the people up the mountain in person. Remember to ask the soldiers to sacrifice their lives when rushing up the mountain. If If the clues are revealed, I'm afraid that all the efforts made by Mr. Sir will be ruined."
"Maybe we need to select a suicide squad." Han Ju said with some embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter, just go ahead and do it." Choosing the Suicide Squad means that the subsidy is much higher. Problems that money can solve are not problems in Yuan Tan's eyes.
"Here!"
