Chapter 51: Besieged on All Sides
The military strategy says: If you are surprised, you will be unprepared.
As Zhang Xiu expected, Yang You was proud of his might and had no defense.
The Western General Yang You camped.
"Wow!!" At the camp gates on all sides, the flags of "Yang" are flying in the wind, and under the flags, armored soldiers line up, bows and crossbows are on their strings, and they are vigilant to investigate the movements.
There were many horses in the camp, making his horses neighing. Some soldiers were patrolling, while more soldiers went into the tent to rest after dinner.
The weather is cold now, and no one is willing to take a breath away even if the soldiers are strong and resisting the cold.
Yang You is strong and lustful and greedy for alcohol. He also has the same problem as Zhang Xiu. He goes out to war and often takes his beautiful concubines with him.
In the big tent, Yang You relied on his might and had established a strong camp. Moreover, Zhang Xiu had few soldiers, although he was brave, he was not afraid of it.
He set up a stove in the big tent and ordered his personal soldiers to put a large jar of twenty kilograms of wine on the stove, and brought cooked meat to eat.
He was full of qi and blood, and the big tent was warm. He couldn't help but take off only one clothes, but he still felt hot all over, and his clothes were open to reveal his strong breasts.
"Gulu, Gulu." After the wine was hot, Yang You poured the wine himself, drinking it while eating cooked meat.
This meat is beef consumed on the grassland. Even if you don’t need seasonings, you only add salt to taste good. Yang You had an amazing diet and quickly killed a lot of meat.
After drinking the wine and meat, his whole body became hotter and hotter. He couldn't bear it and planned to finish drinking the wine, so he went to the inner tent to find a beautiful concubine to slap.
At this moment, Yang You's deputy general Sima and Qian Bo from Nan'an came in.
"General. Zhang Xiu is brave and good at fighting. The general issued a strict order to strengthen your vigilance and defend yourself. Just wait for the Ming Dynasty, the army will encircle him in the future and kill Zhang Xiu. Why are you still drinking freely?" Qian Bo said dissatisfied when he saw this scene.
He was a relative of the Ma family, so he was sent to serve as Yang You as a surveillance officer, but he was not afraid of Yang You.
"Sima Qian shouldn't be so strict. Zhang Xiu is indeed brave. That day, he killed our six generals and I was also present. I was afraid of him and led his troops to fight. But now we have strong soldiers and strong camps. What are they afraid of him? If Zhang Xiu dares to attack our camp, I will destroy him. Come on, let's have a drink together."
Yang You didn't care and even smiled and called Qian Bo.
Qian Bo thought it was right, and his face couldn't help but relax. Although he was not a good person, he had just walked around and inspected the camp and was a little cold. He couldn't stand the temptation and nodded, "Then let's drink some."
"Hahahaha." Yang You laughed loudly, and immediately ordered his personal soldiers to get another dish of wine and food. Then he sat down and ate and drank with Qian Bo.
Qianbo was not good enough to drink, and Yang You liked to drink other people's wine very much, so he got drunk with money in just a few seconds.
After seeing Qian Bo’s face turned red and lying on the table and sleeping, Yang You felt a sense of accomplishment and said to his personal soldiers: “Come on, add a big cloak to Qian Sima and stare at the charcoal fire and don’t extinguish it. Let him sleep here.”
At this moment, Yang You was also slightly drunk, so he stood up and staggered into the inner tent.
There were two beautiful concubines who were taking off their clothes in the inner tent, and Yang You took off his clothes, drilled into the bedding, hugged the beautiful concubine's tender body, and then began to thrive.
After two routines, I fell asleep.
When the army is outside, the military discipline is outstanding in normal times, and the soldiers will strictly abide by the military discipline in wartime and will not slack off. However, Yang You's military discipline is not satisfactory.
Now Yang You is drunk with money and boa, and his superiors have his own actions, and his subordinates must follow his example.
It's cold now, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate and patrolling the camp were still energetic at first, but after a while, it was really cold.
The soldiers patrolling hid in the corner and were lazy. At the camp gate, the crossbowmen on the camp wall were even wrapped in blankets, while she was sheltering from the wind and drinking to drive away the cold.
They gathered together to chat in groups of three or three, and also talked about pornographic jokes.
Which wife steals a man?
Which widow from the family is so gentle and tender.
The chat was in full swing.
As time passed, some soldiers fell asleep. So they stayed until late at night. Yang You camp, where 12,000 cavalrymen were in charge, had its defense dropped to a dangerous level.
Of course, Zhang Xiu appeared.
The stars shine brightly tonight, and the visibility is excellent, so the night marching is not a problem at all.
The more than a thousand cavalry led by Hu Cheer wrapped horse hooves in cloth and marched silently.
Zhang Xiu, Pang De, Dian Wei, Liu Pi, Gongdu and others led the infantry, and behind them were chariots, horses and baggage, as well as Jia Xu's family, Xi Zhicai, Zou family, and Jin family.
In order to prevent Jia Xu from escaping, Zhang Xiu specially dispatched a team of 50 people to "protect" Jia Xu.
This uncle was too smooth and would slip away if he was not careful.
Zhang Xiu had a good eye and looked at Yang You's camp from afar. Seeing some of the situations of the other defenders and seeing the soldiers at the camp gate, he guessed that the soldiers were sleeping.
"We will win this battle." Zhang Xiu sneered, looked around at the generals gathered around and said.
"Yes." The generals nodded and responded softly.
"Wang Shi."
"Zhang Long."
Then, Zhang Xiu said to the two of them gently.
"I am here." Two sons who had followed Zhang Xiu for many years bowed and bowed together.
"You two lead 100 people each, prepare more torches. Go to the north and ambush in the south. When you hear the sound of killing, you will light the torches and yell together to kill."
Zhang Xiu ordered.
"No." The two of them agreed, took all the guys and horses, and went north and south respectively.
"Hu Cheer." Zhang Xiu turned his head and looked at Hu Cheer who was waving his spear excitedly.
"I'm here." Hu Cheer quickly put down his spear and said seriously.
"I'm rushing in the east, Wang Shi, Zhang Long ignited fire and roared at the north and south to attack. Yang You's camp must be at a loss. They dare not go north and south, and they will definitely fight out from the west gate."
"You led more than a thousand cavalry to ambush at the West Gate. When you saw Yang You's defeated army retreating, you led your troops to cover up and kill, mainly killing, but do not pursue. We will fight quickly and break through the siege and go west."
Zhang Xiu said.
"No." Hu Cheer responded to the nobility and then turned over and planned to leave. However, Zhang Xiu was still worried about Hu Cheer's guy, so he asked Hu Cheer's two main soldiers to look at Hu Cheer and not pursue him.
Then he looked at Hu Cheer and other cavalrymen, wrapped in thick cloth, and gently took a detour to ambush the West.
Zhang Xiu himself led the main infantry such as Pang De, Dian Wei, Liu Pi, Gongdu, etc. to ambush here. After counting it carefully, Zhang Xiu was sure that all the troops were ready.
"Kill!!!" Zhang Xiu turned over the horse and handed the big gun to his personal soldiers. He picked up the bow and arrow, and after a roar, he rushed to Yang You's camp by driving the war horse.
"kill!!!"
Dian Wei, Pang De and other generals also shouted a roar and led the infantry to follow Zhang Xiu closely behind. Dian Wei led more than ten light cavalry to guard Zhang Xiu's left and right.
The sudden roar and killing sound awakened the guards in Yang You camp. They were also experienced. Although they were a little caught off guard, they still stood up quickly and planned to bend their bows and shoot arrows.
"Enemy attack!!!" An officer roared shrillly to warn the camp.
"Swoosh swosh swosh!!!" Zhang Xiu opened his right arm and shot the arrows. With the sound of bowstrings, he cleared the arrows in the arrow bag and killed ten Yang You's archers who were poking their heads out. Then he placed the bow behind the horse, took the big gun from his personal soldiers, and shook forward: "Those who attacked the camp and took Yang You's head will be given 100 gold."
"Kill!!" There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Zhang Xiu's words cheered up the soldiers and rushed forward with a scream.
Under the cover of his own archers, Yang You archers at the camp gate did not dare to emerge at all. More than a dozen soldiers with ropes threw the rope and fixed it, and climbed up the camp gate.
There were more than a dozen simple ladders carried by soldiers and placed on the camp gate. They climbed the camp gate without any effort and opened the camp gate after a fierce battle with Yang You soldiers.
Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei rode their horses into the camp gate.
"Set the fire!!!" Zhang Xiu's big gun was shaking, and the soldiers responded with a loud noise, set fire everywhere, and killed the soldiers who walked out of the camp in a panic.
Zhang Xiu himself led an elite team formed by Dian Wei and Pang De to rush left and right to kill all the soldiers of Yang You who walked out of the camp and dared to line up to resist.
They were like a wave of flowing, pushing and pushing towards the Central Army camp where Yang You was.
At the same time, in the north of Yang You's camp, the 100 people led by Wang Shi prepared hundreds of torches, either held them in their hands or inserted them on the ground.
It was very cold tonight, and Wang Shiyan's hands were red, so he had to rub his hands from time to time to keep the temperature.
His ears were raised, listening to the movements around him. After hearing the sound of Dongfang roar and killing, he ordered: "Let's fire, kill the roar."
More than one hundred soldiers immediately lit hundreds of torches. Except for those inserted on the ground, two of them swayed left and right, dispersed each other, and roared hard to kill.
"kill!!!!"
Although they only had more than a hundred people, they seemed to have thousands of people. The sound of killing was shocking, but they were just shouting and no one attacked.
At the same time, under the leadership of Zhang Long, the south also shook the torch and roared hard to kill. For a moment, Yang You's camp, in the three directions of southeast, north and south, all the sound of killing sounds shook the sky.
It's like a gangster around, it's really scary.
In the west of Yang You's camp, Hu Cheer had ordered his soldiers to untie the cloth on the horse's hooves, and he was fully prepared. He was warlike and bloodthirsty, and was already hungry and thirsty.
After hearing the shouts of killing, he picked up the spear and turned his horse over, and kept moving from time to time, complaining: "Why haven't you come out yet?"
The more than a thousand cavalry under his command were safe. They just turned on their horses and prepared to attack the defeated army.
Military tactics, virtual and real.
At this moment, Zhang Xiu attacked in the east, feinted in the north and south, and set up an ambush to the west.
Although there were few soldiers, they used military plans and swept towards Yang You's camp like Mount Tai.
The stars shine brightly tonight, and the night is bright. The wind is loud and the murderous aura fills the sky, so it is really heroic.
