Chapter 473 Battle in Suicheng (3)
Time passed slowly, and the fierce battle in Suicheng had been going on for a long time.
At this moment, the sound of horns sounded from the Jinbing camp in Xiaosui Mountain. The soldiers who came from Suicheng to ask for help had brought the news that Suicheng was attacked.
The golden soldiers of the brigade began to gather, and the roar of the war horses resounded throughout the camp. The incident happened suddenly, and it would take some time to mobilize the troops. No one expected that Beiliang had been shut up for more than two months.
The army will attack Suicheng late at night.
In the Jin Bing's tent, there was a general with his hair pulled into a bun on his head. The sideburns on both sides were shaved, and his face was fierce. He was clasping his hands behind his back and staring at the map in front of him with a frown.
This person was Pucha Rongbao, the chief general of the Jin army who was stationed here. He was also the former top general in Yanzhou. He was deeply trusted by Wanyan Liang. So when Wanyan Liang sent troops to Jianmenguan, he transferred Pucha Rongbao.
Arriving in the Suicheng area.
Behind Pucha Rongbao stood several generals who looked a little anxious. One deputy general couldn't hold himself back any longer and tentatively asked: "General, the army has almost been mobilized. Should we send troops immediately to support Suicheng?"
"
"Save Suicheng? Why should we save Suicheng?" Pucha Rongbao, who had his back turned to the generals, asked rhetorically.
The generals were stunned. Suicheng encountered a sneak attack by the Beiliang Army and naturally wanted to support them. What did the general mean by this?
Pucha Rongbao said very calmly: "Suicheng is just a small town. The terrain is not dangerous, and there is no large amount of food, grass and ordnance stored in the city. Its gains and losses are not important to us, so we don't need to worry too much.
."
The generals and the monk Zhanger were confused. Suicheng and Xiaosuishan could echo each other. The general's nonchalant look really made them confused.
"The Beiliang Army has been holding on to its camp and refusing to fight, but this time it took the initiative to attack. Why don't we seize this God-given opportunity to completely annihilate the Beiliang Army?" Pucha Rongbao said with a chuckle.
Everyone looked at each other, weren't they launching a sneak attack on Suicheng? How come they were about to completely annihilate the Beiliang army in the blink of an eye?
A general who didn't understand what he meant asked: "Can you please give me a clear explanation, general?"
Pu Charongbao pressed his hand on the map: "This! This is the Beiliang Army camp! They attacked Suicheng, we attacked their camp! Our military supplies are all stored in Xiaosui Mountain. The fall of Suicheng is of no concern to us.
!But once the Beiliang Army camp is lost, even if they occupy Suicheng, they will have no water source and cannot defend it! Their total military strength is only 30,000 to 40,000, and they will need 10,000 to 20,000 to attack Suicheng.
, use the main force of our cavalry to attack the Beiliang camp, catch them by surprise, and we will definitely win in one battle!"
"The general is brilliant!"
"What a plan! I admire you!"
All the generals suddenly understood and nodded in praise.
"General, after all, there are more than 10,000 brothers in Suicheng, we can't just let it go, right? Our military strength is not much different from that of Beiliang. If we lose 10,000 troops, I'm afraid General Wanyan will blame us in the future." Everyone felt sorry for Pu Cha.
After Rong Bao's ingenious plan was applauded, someone finally remembered that the defenders of Suicheng were still fighting to the death.
Pucha Rongbao frowned slightly, thought for a while and said: "Then send five thousand people to meet the Suicheng defenders. There is no need to fight with the Beiliang army. Just let as many soldiers as possible withdraw to the camp!"
"promise!"
Pucha Rongbao stretched out his hand and smashed the Beiliang Army camp on the map: "Leave two thousand soldiers to guard the Central Army camp, and all the remaining 20,000 troops will move out! Follow me to capture the Beiliang Army camp!"
"promise!"
All the generals shouted in unison.
A confident smile appeared on Pucha Rongbao's gloomy face. In his opinion, the defeat of the Northern Liang Army would be today, and by then the military merit of defeating tens of thousands of the Northern Liang Army would be enough for him to become the center of the imperial court.
In the dark night, more than 20,000 Jin soldiers divided into two groups, heading straight to Suicheng, while the other group took advantage of the dim sky to head towards the Beiliang camp.
In this way, the Jin soldiers' deployment completely deviated from Xue Tian's expectations, and they actually gave up the fight for Suicheng with the Beiliang army.
At this moment, the Beiliang military camp was already empty, the lights were out, and there was no trace of a single soldier in the entire barracks.
Xue Tian led the last five thousand cavalry out and left the military camp one step ahead. He was quietly waiting on a hillside for the news from the scouts.
After a while, a cavalry galloped from a distance. When he reached Xue Tian's eyes, he reined in the reins and said, "Report! General, the situation has changed. The Jin soldiers from Xiaosuishan did not support Suicheng with their entire army. They just sent
A small group of cavalry is heading towards Suicheng, and a large group of soldiers is heading towards our camp."
"Oh? Pucha Rongbao still has some brains." Xue Tian was slightly surprised. It was obvious that he had underestimated this Jinbing general.
"General, what should we do next?" A captain behind him asked softly: "Should we go back and hold on to the camp?"
Xue Tian reined in his horse and took a few steps forward, looking into the distance. There was no panic on his face. The situation on the battlefield was always changeable.
After a while, Xue Tian raised his reins and pointed to the back of the hillside: "Their strength is several times that of ours, and it is impossible to hold on to the camp. Then the plan remains unchanged, and the army goes around the hillside to attack the Xiaosuishan camp. If they want our camp, we will
Give it to them, and you will get something if you give it up!"
Xue Tian had a slight smile on his face. If you Pucharongbao dare to give up Suicheng, then why should I give up the Beiliang camp?
Even though there was a lot of food and grass stored in the camp, Xue Tian believed that Jin Bing's camp had more food and grass.
"What happens after we capture the camp?" the captain asked again.
Xue Tian turned back and glanced in the direction of his own camp: "After taking the camp, we will go back and gather the main force of the cavalry to deal with Pucha Rongbao! Now let them grab our empty Chinese camp.
.Send the order! Let the army speed up, we must be one step faster than them!"
"promise!"
The captain turned around and left. Soon, the five thousand cavalry troops behind him changed their route and marched from a considerable distance to Xiaosui Mountain. The purpose of this move was to avoid running into the Jin soldiers during the march.
"General, would you like to send someone to inform General Qian so that they can join us as soon as possible to deal with the Jin soldiers?" one of Xue Tian's personal guards asked softly.
"No, they will definitely split up their forces when they find something is wrong." Xue Tian chuckled and said, "Qian Zimo and Xiao Shangwen are much smarter than they appear on the surface."
Then Xue Tian seemed to have thought of something, grabbed the guard's shoulder, whispered something in his ear, and the guard couldn't help but nodded.
"Go!" Xue Tian waved his hand: "Move smoothly!"
"promise!"
A sinister smile appeared on the face of the guard, and he waved, and then dozens of riders broke away from the army and headed straight for the Beiliang camp.
