Chapter 670: Chen Yuyi presents a plan to destroy the city
At dawn the next day, the four generals Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Chun, and Ju Hu went to attack the enemy outside Weinan City and set up a formation. However, Li Jue refused to fight. The four knew that they could not attack fiercely, otherwise they would lose their troops, so they discussed countermeasures.
Come.
Lu Kuang was the first to say: "My lord has ordered us to be in the front. Then we have to clear the way across the mountains and build bridges when encountering water. How can we delay here? The enemy has been defeated and their courage has been lost. I should use my energy to conquer this place in one fell swoop."
City." The three generals all nodded in agreement.
Zhang Cundao said: "If you want to attack by force, attack from three sides and leave one door open to allow them to escape. If you attack with force from four doors, it will arouse in them the determination to die and make it difficult to pull them out."
"Yes, we will attack the city tonight!" Lu Xiang said.
The four people had finished their deliberations. In fact, they were only three people. Ju Hu was the junior, so he did not intervene at all. In the end, Lu Kuang attacked the east gate, Lu Xiang attacked the south gate, Zhang Chun attacked the north gate, and left the west gate to escape with the enemy.
He went from Juhu to ambush more than ten miles away.
That night, the three armies attacked the city and were unstoppable. Li Jue was leading troops to defend the city. Everyone in the city knew that Zuo's army had arrived, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to rebel against Li and defect to the left. So many young people gathered together and went to the county office to cause trouble.
When Li Jue heard this, he knew that he could no longer defend the city, so he hurriedly opened the west gate and left. Not far out, he happened to bump into Ju Hu. After only one turn of horse, Ju Hu was wounded by Li Jue's sword.
Dong Zhuo had four strong generals under his command. The first was Lu Bu, the second was Li Jue, the third was Guo Si, and the fourth was Hua Xiong. Therefore, Li Jue's sword wounding Ju Hu did not disgrace his reputation as the second fierce general.
When Li Jue wanted to take the opportunity to kill Ju Hu, Zhang Chun knocked and led the army to arrive. He wounded Li Jue with a flying fork. Li Jue was wounded and fled. Zhang Chun turned around and wounded Ju Hu, and the two joined forces.
He chased and killed the remaining soldiers under Li Jue's command and beheaded more than ten generals.
When he wanted to catch up with Li Jue, an army suddenly arrived. The two sides set up their positions. It turned out that Duan Xuan, who was stationed in Huayin, led his army to rescue Li Jue. They happened to meet here. Ju Hu and Li Jue were injured after only one fight.
In order to save face, Ju Hu rode up on his horse and charged into the battle with his sword drawn. Four generals around Duan Yan came out to meet him. Within a few seconds, Ju Hu slashed down one general with his sword, and the other three generals were frightened away.
Duan Xuan's army was defeated and retreated to the outside of Chang'an City. They set up camp in the south of the city. Zhang Chun withdrew his troops and set up camp. They rested for a day. Four generals, Zhang Chun, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and Ju Hu, entered Chang'an. Li Jue knew that his three younger brothers
Two were killed and one was captured. Duan Xuan's army was also defeated. Li Jue knew that it was difficult to survive alone, so he ordered his men to close the four gates and tighten defense. In addition, he sent fast horses to Zhao Cen, Zhang Ji, Hu Zhen, and veteran general Yang Teng.
Move everywhere and ask for reinforcements.
Li Jue was defeated and the defeated army fled back to Chang'an. Guo Si held a banquet with all the generals to calm Li Jue's shock. At the same time, he invited Duan Xuan into the city. After drinking for three rounds, they discussed how to retreat from the enemy. Li Ru was the first to stand up.
Said: "Two generals, now the Zuo family's army is powerful, but it is only the vanguard. The previous defeat was because our army had not stabilized its footing and was caught by surprise by the enemy. Now the general can take advantage of the enemy's army.
When your foothold is not stable, catch him by surprise and you will win this battle!"
"No!" Li Jue answered Li Ru with only these two words.
Guo Bang smiled softly and said: "The Zuo Army took advantage of the victory and attacked, and the troops reached the city of Chang'an. Our coalition forces are newly defeated, and there must be panic in the city. In order to prevent the Zuo Army from besieging the city, it is better for us to divide our troops and go out of the city to establish a stronghold!"
Li Jue nodded and said: "General Guo and I led the 50,000-strong Chinese army, sat in charge of the Chang'an City Palace, and supervised the formation in all directions. General Duan Xuan took his troops and horses to camp outside the north city gate to guard against a surprise attack by Zuo's army. Wu Xi
With 50,000 Qiang troops, they camped outside the west gate, and sent Hu Feng to lead 30,000 Xiliang light cavalry troops to guard the south gate. This Hu Feng was Li Jue's nephew and the current cavalry captain, and Yang Wei led 50,000 coalition troops.
Elite troops are stationed at the nearest east gate of the Lin Zuo Family Army to prevent a sneak attack!"
Because Li Ru's advice failed, Li Jue and Guo Si began not to want to see him. Now they don't even ask him for advice. They decide how to divide the troops themselves. After hearing Li Jue's arrangement, Li Ru just scoffed and chuckled.
, secretly thinking in his heart: "This is a sure-fire strategy. I will get here immediately, otherwise I will be killed!"
Let's talk about the military tent in Zuo's army camp at this time. Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Chun, and Ju Hu will be the vanguard. They have already built a stronghold outside Chang'an City, but at this time Zuo Ao
Ran's central army has arrived, and so has the rear army. Tan Ma has already investigated clearly, and with such a report on the enemy's troop deployment, there has been a lot of discussion in the main tent of the central army.
Zuo Aoran only brought two counselors with him on this expedition. One was Li Wenhou. He was a Qiang man. Although he did not have a great reputation, he was always called the number one "Confucian general" in his army by Zuo Aoran! The other one was not long after he joined the army.
Chen Yu, this man is quite good at strategy, but his character is not very good. After hearing this, he was very happy and thought to himself: "Han Sui is going to be unlucky now! This is not what Zhang Han, the general of the Qin State, was doing in the past.
Was it the fault of the nine battalions arrayed on the banks of the Yellow River?"
How to put it? This is a famous battle in history. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, all the heroes in the world rebelled against Qin. Xiang Yu raised his troops to establish Chu. Qin's famous general Zhang Han led an army of 300,000 in formation on the bank of the Yellow River.
Xiang Yu's decisive battle, Xiang Yu only had 100,000 men in hand, and he had to cross the river to fight. It was a last-ditch battle, which violated a major taboo among military strategists. But Zhang Han was wrong. He arranged his army 300 miles away from the company and camp, and sent his thirty
Ten thousand men and horses were divided into nine camps, and one camp was set up every thirty miles. When Xiang Yu heard this, he laughed loudly, led his troops and horses across the Yellow River, burned cauldrons and boats, fought against Zhang Han nine times, and killed Zhang Han within three days.
A big defeat!
When the Chu army attacked the Qin army, all the princes and generals were watching the battle on the camp. The soldiers of the Chu army were all equal to ten. The shouts of the Chu soldiers shook the sky, and the soldiers of the princes were frightened. After defeating the Qin army, Xiang Yu summoned all the princes and generals. When they entered the camp gate, they all knelt down.
Xiang Yu did not dare to look up. From then on, Xiang Yu established himself as the overlord of Western Chu. He became the king of the nine counties in the Liang and Chu areas, established his capital at Pengcheng, and all the princes were subordinate to him.
Li Wenhou laughed and said: "Now the two thieves Li and Guo have an army of 150,000, and they are stationed at four gates, but the troops are scattered. So Han Sui made the same mistake as Zhang Han! This
I don't need much Zhang Han. Everyone knows that Xiang Yu destroyed the Qin army in a desperate manner. If he gathered his army in a camp outside the city and formed a horn with Chang'an City, even if we came to sneak attack, there would be no way to besiege the city. But
, Now that they are dispersed to the four gates, it is different. We can concentrate our elite troops, defeat the smaller ones with more, defeat and annihilate the defenders of the four gates, and then Chang'an City will be at our fingertips!"
"Yeah! Okay! This method is feasible!" After hearing this, Zuo Aoran clapped his hands and said, "Good!"
Just when Zuo Aoran was about to send an order to send generals, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly from under the tent: "My lord, wait a minute!" A man walked out from the ranks of civil servants in the left chamber, narrowed his eyes and said: "My lord, please wait a minute!
Although Li Shenjun's plan is clever, killing four gates will definitely cause heavy casualties to our army! I have a plan, it doesn't cost my big man a single soldier, it will be called Li, and no one of Guo's coalition army will be left alive!"
