It was getting dark, the wind was blowing, and the campfire was roaring. Luo Hu, who was strolling back to camp from Wu Xing Lake, received some jaw-dropping information.
This information was collected by the spies he had sent out earlier: Li Guo had not counterattacked the imperial court, but the Puzhou city was indeed empty of troops at this time, because their main force had been besieging Dali for several days, and it was said that they were in danger, because
There was also a war at Tongguan, and Li Guo had no time to support Dali.
This news shocked Luo Hu and the two of them. He originally thought that Li Guo sent him and Ma Bao to go behind enemy lines to contain the enemy because he wanted to counterattack the imperial court. However, he did not expect that the officers and soldiers were besieging Dali, so Li Guo asked them to do this.
The purpose is no longer just to harass and contain, but to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao?
It's just that Zhao is about to perish. Is there any point in besieging Wei?
Luo Hu and Ma Bao are caught in a tangle. Together they are invincible in the field. It is not a problem to harass the enemy's rear and contain the enemy. However, the problem is that although Puzhou's troops are empty at this time, there is nothing they can do if they stay behind closed doors. Once
The opponent has broken through Dali's army and looks back. He will have to force him away if he uses it again. Then wouldn't this trip be in vain?
Should they continue to fight guerrillas in Puzhou as originally planned, or should they immediately cross the river and go to Dali for rescue? The two of them fell into silence at a loss.
"Brother Tiger, now the plan is messed up. I think the most important thing is to protect Da Li. Let's go back. There's no point in making a fuss here." After a long time, Ma Bao couldn't sit still and jumped up and shouted,
Hu glanced at him and was silent for a while: "Your Majesty sent us here that day, there must be a purpose. If we messed up his plan on our own initiative, the punishment would be small, but I'm afraid it would ruin the overall situation..."
"How else can it ruin the overall situation? Li Yan's soldiers are divided into two groups and attack Tongguan in the south. Ruhou can't even care about this side now. Dali has been surrounded for several days. If you slow down, you will be captured.
It's been defeated... isn't there an old saying that a general will not accept military orders abroad... We can't attack the city here, so we can just wander around outside the city..." Ma Bao didn't cover up what he said, but he also meant it.
To be honest, Luo Hu couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this, but he really didn't know Li Guo's plan, and was worried that he would ruin things by making his own decisions, so he was very entangled.
"Brother Hu, we are the elite of the Dashun Army. Good steel is used on the blade. At this moment, Dali is in a critical moment. What are we strolling about here? That is where we have fun. Let's cross the river before the officers and soldiers are surrounding the city.
A surprise attack from behind...Besides, I can't survive here without food or drink for several days..." Ma Bao continued to complain, Luo Hu gritted his teeth: "That's all! But I can't come here in vain, I have to do it before I leave.
Leave a mark for that bitch Li Yan!"
As the night progressed, there were only a few lights on Puzhou City. The officers and soldiers patrolling the city seemed to be extremely cautious because they were afraid of the bandits' sharpshooters. Even the entire city was much quieter than before.
But Luo Hu and his thousands of troops outside the city were ready to move. He had decided to cross the river west to rescue Dali, but before leaving, he had to teach Li Yan a lesson!
A sneak attack on Li Yan's camp outside the city.
At the end of last summer, after Li Zicheng failed in his Eastern Expedition, he retreated to the west bank of the Yellow River. The imperial court stationed troops in Puzhou and eradicated the Baiwang tribe. After that, Li Yan was ordered to lead various armies to garrison. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could not be stationed in the small Puzhou city.
A military camp was built at the foot of the mountain southwest of the city, near Zhongtiao Mountain and Wujia Lake. Except for a few soldiers and horses stationed in Puzhou City, all the troops were stationed in the military camp.
In the front line, Li Yan launched an attack and threw seventy-eight tenths of his troops to the other side. He first broke through the imperial court and then besieged Dali. The military camp was now empty. However, it is not known how many troops and horses were garrisoned. However, there were One thing is certain, there is a granary in the military camp.
Luo Hu's purpose was simple and clear. If he couldn't capture the city, he would raid his military camp outside the city, plunder food and grass, and then run away. At the worst, he wouldn't be able to break the camp, so he would have to set fire to it.
The spies sent reported that the military camp was built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was heavily guarded and they could not infiltrate. The exact number of troops inside was unknown, but this did not affect Luo Hu's plan. It was still burned if it could not be broken.
Luo Hu also made a detailed plan before taking action. After all, his opponent was not an ordinary person, but Li Yan, who was famous for his wisdom, so he decided to let Ma Bao lead the cavalry to surround Puzhou City to create a momentum to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers in the city. Then he led the infantry to attack the camp.
The dead of night is the time to kill.
After the two reached an agreement, Ma Bao led more than a thousand cavalry and headed straight for Puzhou City with torches, while Luo Hu led his troops to smear the story and headed to the southwest military camp.
The thieves marched around the city shouting and cursing and soon woke up Puzhou City. The common people hid in their beds and shivered. The brave ones poked their heads out of the yard to look around. Most of them whispered to their neighbors whether they were thieves. The army counterattacked?
The officers and soldiers at the top of the city felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. When they saw the bandits talking arrogantly and arrogantly in the city, they couldn't help but cursed back. Some even opened their bows and shot arrows. Those below the city also opened their bows and fired back. Arrows were flying back and forth at the top of the city. From time to time, someone shouted for help.
In the city tower, Li Yan held up his telescope with a sneer on his face and said nothing. He knew what Luo Hu was planning to do. There were obviously no attackers and no troops or strength to attack the city, yet he came shouting in the middle of the night. This is Why? It's too obvious to hide the fact that there is no silver here.
Young man, you are still too young. You are not as brave as you in fighting, but you are still too young to play with your brain.
Just as Ma Bao and his cavalry were making noise with gongs and drums at the foot of Puzhou City, Luo Hu and his more than 3,000 infantrymen on the other side had secretly approached the officers and soldiers camp at the foot of the mountain.
Attacking a camp is not a particularly technical job, especially in the wild. You just need to lead the cavalry to charge directly, go around the camp and shoot arrows and throw torches inside. The people inside are so sleepy in the middle of the night that they are not panicking, but now Luo Luo Tiger has no cavalry, and what he faces is not a temporary camp, but a fixed military camp built by Li Yan on the mountain, which is equivalent to a small city.
However, Luo Hu had already made plans. He calculated that there were not enough troops inside, and he did not plan to attack by force. He divided his troops into two groups and rushed directly to the main entrance of the fire-proof camp gate to pretend to attack and create chaos to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers. Along the way, we went around the mountain and rushed to camp from the top down while the enemy was unprepared!
In the wasteland far outside the military camp, thousands of warriors were lurking in the grass. Under the cover of night, it was difficult to spot them even if they were close at hand. At this time, Luo Hu was squinting and staring at the camp in the distance. The lights were sparse and quiet, and from time to time, A low roar of wild beasts came from the mountains and forests. The soldiers around him carefully identified it and found that it was a real wild beast and not a secret signal for a sneaking unit.
Yes, the reason why Luo Hu kept his composure and did not take action was to wait for another team sneaking into the mountain to send a signal to get in position. At this time, the mountains were thickly covered with trees and there was cover of night, so it was not that difficult to sneak back to the camp. , once the sneak attack troops are in place, he will take action.
Hey, something is wrong... Luo Hu, who was staring at the military camp in the distance, suddenly frowned. He suddenly felt that something was wrong but could not tell what was wrong for the moment. This made several confidants around him become cautious and observe carefully.
Xiang didn't notice anything unusual. It was quiet at night, there were only a few lights, and several patrol teams were patrolling the camp in an orderly manner. This was the most normal thing.
Yes, it’s so normal! Luo Hu slapped his head.
With Li Yan's wisdom, now that he knew he was coming, how could he not take precautions? The city should strengthen precautions, and the camp should also strengthen precautions. How could it continue as usual?
So... isn't he just trying to hide it?
There must be preparations inside, and even an ambush! Luo Hu figured out the critical moment and was heartbroken. He told his subordinates that after hearing this, everyone was also frightened. To be honest, they had nothing to fear from being tough and tough, and they were most afraid of this kind of underhandedness.
trick.
withdraw!
Luo Hu decisively gave the order. Since he had seen through Li Yan's dirty trick, he would not kill anyone again. He immediately ordered his men to light the torches. In an instant, the fire outside the military camp was bright. This was a signal to the team that was going up the mountain to retreat.
The code is also a signal to the officers and soldiers in the military camp. Stop pretending, I can see it.
The idiot didn't take the bait. On a cliff in the military camp, Gao Qi gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. That's right, Li Yan almost transferred all the troops in the city back to the military camp to ambush Luo Hu. Of course, Luo Hu secretly built the plank road in Chencang.
He had already prepared a countermeasure for Luo Hu's little tricks. No matter whether the opponent attacked openly or secretly, there would be no return. At least Luo Hu would have to lose an arm and a leg.
It was unexpected, but at the last moment, the other party saw through it!
How he found out, Gao Qi couldn't figure it out, he just felt itchy with hatred!
"Luo Hu, you are a bitch. I know you are here. I told you your fate yesterday and you escaped. Today you don't know whether to live or die and come here again. If you don't dare, just call in... You're not
You claim to be invincible, don't be a coward..." Gao Qi yelled and cursed at the top of his voice on the cliff. In the dead of night, the sound could be heard for miles. Luo Hu could hear it clearly in the distance, but he just sneered and looked sideways.
Bluestone in the eyes.
Chi Qingshi shook his head. Gao Qi was in the dark and far away, and his voice was blown erratically by the mountain wind. It was impossible to determine where he was. Even if Chi Qingshi's swordsmanship was superb, he could not kill him.
"If we meet him one day, I will pluck out his tongue before killing him." Luo Hu cursed lightly, clamped his legs around the horse's belly and left.
Actually left?
On the top of Puzhou City, Li Yan couldn't help but be startled when he looked at the fire in the distance. When he first saw the fire, he thought Luo Hu was about to take action, but he actually retreated without making any noise, and he saw the flaw?
Hey, that's interesting! Li Yan was very touched, and Shibie Sanri looked at them with admiration. These young people have grown up very fast, and their rich combat experience can make up for their lack of intelligence!
From now on, you really can’t underestimate anyone!
However, now that you have come, you can leave as you please. Li Yan will definitely not easily confront Luo Hu, but he will never let him go easily. Naturally, he has backup plans.
