Chapter 1060 Zhang He’s broadsword blocks Cheng Yu(1/2)
Another scout came to report, saying: "A large army broke in from the northwest. The soldiers and horses were violent and trampled to death many of our soldiers. Their horses had their ears plugged. I'm afraid they were trying to disturb the horses in my camp..."
A plan to attack the east and attack the west!
Cheng Yu's scalp exploded and he said: "With so many people and horses, why didn't the scout camp find out? Where are they hiding in Jizhou, where are they stationed, and where do they use their food? How can they be completely ignorant!?"
The scout camp did not dare to defend itself.
Now is not the time to question, he said: "The scout camp needs to be punished and perform meritorious service. Send an order to all the troops, set up hooks and ambushes, and hook their horses. We have many soldiers, trap them, and then execute!"
The scout camp hurriedly responded to the order!
Cheng Yu's eyes were anxious. He was a civil servant, and he knew very well that if the battle went unfavorably, the subsequent consequences would be far-reaching.
The army is approaching, and the pressure on Chunyu Qiong and Gao Lan is unprecedented. Not only for Yecheng, but also for the entire Jizhou, this is a great deterrent. So, subduing the enemy without fighting is only for now.
As long as the city of Ye falls, any city in Jizhou that can hold on will follow suit and surrender, then the whole of Jizhou is doomed.
After hearing about what happened at the front line and Youzhou, Jizhou's already swaying heart must have decided to surrender.
Seeing all this, I just wait to be ready, just wait to take over. After recruiting An Najiang and appeasing him, Jizhou can be pacified.
However, what he never expected was that Sima Yi had been waiting for him, which meant that he had already taken precautions.
In this world, there are actually people who see deeper than him and are more careful in their defenses.
In other words, Sima Yi actually knew that this level was very important. This was the time for them to show their strength to Yecheng and the entire Jizhou.
Let those generals and civil servants who have lost their backbone and have no one to rely on have a chance to take refuge. Who to choose depends on who can come first and repel the others.
Therefore, this battle is more than just a war. It is a war to fight for the ownership of Jizhou.
Whoever can truly exert power over Jizhou and whoever can defeat those who come to compete will be able to win Jizhou's surrender.
The people of Jizhou think very simply, they will follow whoever is stronger. If they follow the wrong one and surrender first, but then another wave of people come and beat them away before they have been seated for two days, then wouldn't they?
Surrendering in vain?! Who would be willing to suffer a loss of energy and moral integrity? Who would be willing to be cut off like a leek?!
Therefore, normally speaking, every city in Jizhou is waiting and watching, waiting for its final owner.
Therefore, I am afraid that Jizhou is waiting and watching, and even the army is not leaving lightly, but is watching the battle between them, who is more planning to take the advantage!
Cheng Yu was afraid that there might be some treacherous plot waiting for him, so he thought about it and made two preparations, saying: "The entire battalion is divided into two battalions. One battalion defends the main camp and prepares for combat. The other battalion retreats quickly. If we can outflank it,
Just outflank them. If they can't be outflanked, find a place to retreat first and be prepared to attack from a distance and provide support."
The scout quickly went to deliver the order.
This time, Cheng Yu was afraid that he would not have enough men and horses, so he brought 25,000 men and horses. It can be seen that the army was large, the men and horses were heavy, and the food and grass were abundant.
There are siege equipment prepared in the baggage, so that if the city of Ye does not surrender, these can be used to attack the city. So you can imagine how heavy the baggage is.
There are many people and horses, and the camp occupies a vast and complex area.
It takes time to deliver orders, and in this chaotic situation, information will inevitably be delayed.
There was chaos in the Yanzhou barracks, and many men and horses were killed by arrows because they were not prepared.
Many of the baggage items were burned, and a sea of fire spread to the sky. There were screams and screams everywhere!
Cheng Yu watched from a distance, his heart pounding. He was always uneasy because he always felt that these were just ploys to attack the east and attack the west.
If Sima Yi comes in perfect condition, there must be other troops.
Where is it?! Where is it?!
Come out quickly so I can deal with it better.
Cheng Yu kept calculating and calculating, but what was needed for chaos was intelligence. In fact, in this case, without intelligence as an eye, it would be difficult for even a god to make the most correct decision.
judgment, because you can’t see the opponent’s chessboard at all.
The Yanzhou soldiers were divided into two battalions. One battalion went to outflank the incoming troops and extinguish the fires on the burned baggage and grain. The other battalion had already begun to retreat quickly in preparation to assist the long-distance attack!
Cheng Yu's eyelids twitched, looking at the darkness in the night made him extremely uneasy.
There must be something wrong, there must be information that he has not obtained.
And his Yanzhou soldiers and horses are like elephants in the dark. No matter how capable they are, they are just like blind giants at this time, and they can only be beaten by others.
After receiving Cheng Yu's military order, the Yanzhou soldiers responded quickly, took the hooks, and began to hook the opponent's horses in an organized and orderly manner. Some horses were hooked, and they swarmed up and were able to hook both men and horses.
Poke it into a sieve.
The two parties were in a stalemate, and the sound of fighting broke out!
Zhang He looked at it from a distance and couldn't help but sigh: "The soldiers and horses left by Sima's military advisor are worthy of being able to hide for so long. They are all soldiers who are not afraid of death. Although there are not many people, no one escapes or retreats.
”
If you weren't afraid of death, how could you have lurked silently until now without being discovered?
These people are extremely tough-minded people.
"If something big happens, I'm afraid it will have to rely on such will," Zhang He said. Even if they didn't come to help or cooperate with them, with their will to not fear death, Cheng Yu would probably be able to shed a layer of his skin.
There is no compromise between both sides. No one can get Jizhou easily.
He understood what Sima Yi was thinking. He would rather Jizhou remained in the hands of Chunyu Qiong and Gao Lan than let it fall into the hands of Cheng Yu. Otherwise, once it falls, it will be difficult to shake it.
The army is like Go, the most feared thing is the continuous momentum. What is the continuous momentum? Cao Cao won a series of victories on the front line, forced Yuan Shao to death, and captured Youzhou with ease. If he also captured Jizhou, this is momentum.
, the trend is that people are afraid and dare not rebel. Once the trend is established, it will be difficult to snatch meat from his mouth. By that time, no one dares to rebel against Cao Cao. For fear of being executed, they will fight to the death.
It will definitely be several times more difficult to defeat Jizhou than it is now. You can't even fight Cao Cao directly. Cao Cao can use his strength to fight, and his generals who want to make meritorious deeds can directly kill them.<
/p>
This is the power after it is established. At that time, you use your elite to fight with him, but in the end you still cannot touch the foundation of Cao Cao. This is the most painful thing.
Therefore, both Sima Yi and Cheng Yu knew that one side wanted to gain momentum, while the other side wanted to destroy what they had achieved.
"General, are our troops dispatched?! Go and meet them?!" the military advisor said.
Zhang He nodded and said: "Listen to the advice of Sima's military advisor and make a plan of ambushes from all sides. First attack in the east and attack in the west, then frustrate the spirit and then disrupt the will. Our army can win this battle..."
The generals were overjoyed and couldn't wait to split up and start taking action as planned earlier.
"Our army suddenly appeared. I didn't expect our army to appear out of thin air..." Zhang He said, "Soldiers are more valuable than magic!"
The counselor behind him nodded, followed Zhang He and mounted his horse, saying: "The general will definitely be able to defeat the Yanzhou soldiers this time. Although his soldiers are numerous, and Cheng Yu is holding the battle, however, firstly, he did not expect the general to be there, and secondly, he is a civil servant
, there is no useful general in the army, as long as their morale is controlled, the Yanzhou soldiers will be defeated and return!"
Zhang He said with a smile: "Please lead an army to intercept the retreat and set up an ambush. Then we can chase and kill more!"
The counselor smiled and agreed.
Zhang He went there with a big knife in his hands.
Cheng Yu didn't know why, but his eyelids couldn't rest and kept beating wildly.
Suddenly, a scout came to report urgently, saying: "The enemy has arrived with reinforcements. There is dust rising behind them and the sound of galloping soldiers and horses."
Cheng Yu's head buzzed, and his first reaction was that it was impossible. How could it be possible?!
There must be some fraud.
He didn't dare to be careless and said: "Which direction?!"
"It is in the southwest direction. Now we see reinforcements coming. The enemy's vanguard battalion fighting our army is becoming more and more heroic. Our army's morale is slightly sluggish and it is in panic..." The unknown number of troops is the most important.
A terrifying existence. I feel panicked because of the unknown.
Besides, there was no early warning in the army, so who wouldn’t panic?!
Cheng Yu said: "Go and resist immediately. Don't let the two parties join together!"
"Yes!" A general hurriedly took the order.
The scouts rushed to report again, saying: "There are soldiers and horses coming from the southeast and northwest, and there are countless flags. I'm afraid they are well prepared!"
"Quickly resist!" Cheng Yu said.
The generals took their orders and left in turn.
"Sir, lead the main force to retreat first and then support, otherwise we will be surrounded and killed. Once we are surrounded, I'm afraid..." A counselor advised: "I'm afraid Sima Yi has been prepared this time.
."
Cheng Yu stamped his feet and said, "I was careless. I had known that he was so scheming, how could I not have made more preparations?! However, Yu was very unclear about how these people appeared?! If they were all lurking in Hebei, Yu
I don’t believe it!”
Could it be that he flew here?
Cheng Yu saw that the war was engulfed in all directions. If he didn't break out, he might really be surrounded. He was heartbroken and said: "Follow me to retreat and add support from outside. Don't fall into the enemy's ambush plan."
If we fight around their camp, no matter how many people there are, it will be useless. If you are at a disadvantage, you will always be at a disadvantage.
The people from the main camp in Cheng Yu's area retreated, and the morale of Cao's army was slightly weakened. He saw that enemy troops from all sides were rushing towards him like fire. They were really fighting with each other crying for their fathers and mothers.
There are cold arrows everywhere, burning fires everywhere, dead or injured people everywhere, and panicked people running around.
When Cheng Yu saw this, he was really confused and asked: "Do you know who the other general is?!"
