October 20th was the day when Han general Baoyuan and his 30,000 light cavalry arrived in the Xuans area.
After retreating from the Wei camp, Bao Yuan handed over 30,000 light cavalry to his deputy, Li Han, and took dozens of cavalry to escort him to the Xuans.
About half an hour later, Bao Yuan came to the Xuans with dozens of riders and called for the gate to be opened at the south city gate.
Jin Yao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he learned that Bao Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the armies who was stationed at Tianmen Pass, came in person. When he greeted him, he curiously asked: "Why did the commander-in-chief come in person?"
After all, "Wei Gongzi Ji Run is an extremely difficult enemy to deal with." So far, this is just the view of Jin Miaojun, and there is no guarantee that Bao Yuan will agree with his statement.
Therefore, Jin Mao felt that after he made a request for assistance to Bao Yuan, Bao Yuan would certainly send troops to support him because of the overall situation, but it would be inevitable that he would be sarcastic.
In addition, after all, Bao Yuan, as the commander-in-chief of all armies, would not personally support the siege. After all, what the general wanted to pay attention to was not only Prince Su's army of Prince Wei, but also Wei's Northern Second Army.
The three armies, Shanyang Army, Nanyan Army, and Wei Wu Army, are like Jiang Bi, Zhao Yuanzuo, Wei Mu, Zhao Hongjiang, Shao Hu and other Wei generals, but they are not ordinary people.
But the strange thing is that Bao Yuan not only came to the Yun family in person today, but even after seeing him, Jin Yao, he didn't mean the slightest bit of cynicism, which surprised Jin Yao.
"Fa, what happened?" Seeing Bao Yuan's abnormal attitude, Jin Ao couldn't help but panic a little.
Hearing this, Bao Yuan glanced at Jin Yao, and then looked around intentionally.
Seeing this, Jin Mao understood and immediately invited Bao Yuan to the tower of the south city gate and ordered his personal guards to guard outside the pavilion.
At this time, Jin Mao asked in a low voice: "General Baoyuan, could it be that something happened at Tianmen Pass?"
Bao Yuan was so happy that he glanced at Jin Yao with a half-smile, then lowered his voice and said calmly: "Something happened, but it wasn't at Tianmen Pass, but you, the Yun family!... General Jin Yao, do you know?
, that Wei Gongzi Ji Run, under your nose, built a military camp at Fazhi Mountain and Yangtou Mountain?"
Hearing this, Jin Yao opened his mouth and was dumbfounded.
After a while, he said with a look of shock: "This is impossible! Wei Jun..."
At this time, Bao Yuan waved his hand to interrupt Jin Mao's words and said calmly: "When I came here, my general had already sent people to Fayu Mountain and Yangtou Mountain to confirm."
Seeing Bao Yuan's vow, Jin Mao was speechless. He couldn't help but feel a little lost, and murmured: "How could it be... Although the Wei army went to Fazhi Mountain and Yangtou Mountain, they would leave early and return late every day... leave early and return late?
"
Looking at Jin Mao's face that gradually changed color, Bao Yuan sighed softly and said calmly: "It seems that you have figured it out."
"Yes." Jin Mao looked miserable and said regretfully: "So that's it. It turns out that the Wei army made a gesture of trying to attack my Yun family with all its strength. That was done to show me, so that I don't dare to divide my troops and station abroad...
"
Bao Yuan was silent when he heard this.
After all, he was also tricked by that Wei Gongzi Ji Run, so he had no right to gossip about Jin Yao.
After sighing slightly, Bao Yuan said with some admiration: "As you said, that Wei Gongzi Ji Run is really a person... Even I, Bao Yuan, admire his courage and government."
"How do you say this?" Jin Mao asked in surprise.
So Bao Yuan told Jin Mao about the Wei army's trick to hide the truth from the enemy, but Jin Mao was dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that two of them, two of the top ten tycoons in the North Plains, would be tricked by a young boy from the Wei Kingdom who was not yet weak in the title. The other party, knowing full well that he had fallen into the trap, used a trick to deceive the world, and in just a few days, under their noses,
The camp was built.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, and then Bao Yuan whispered: "If what I predict is correct, by tomorrow at the latest, Mr. Wei will launch an offensive against your Yun family..."
"Surround the area for reinforcements?" Jin Yao asked with a frown.
"I'm afraid that's the case." Baoyuan stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Today I led 30,000 cavalry to arrive at the Wei camp here without stopping. At that time, Wei camp still had one side of the camp fence that was not completed, but those Wei soldiers actually dared to take the initiative
Provocation. Obviously, Wei Jundu
I believe that the 30,000 cavalrymen under my command are tired and they dare not attack rashly...Since the Wei Gongzi Ji Run is good at using troops, then he will definitely not let the 30,000 cavalrymen under my command get enough rest, and will definitely attack you.
Shi, force me to send troops to rescue."
"Is there some trick in this?" Jin Mao asked suspiciously after hearing this: "Even if the 30,000 cavalrymen under the general's command are tired after a whole day of rapid march, they can rest for a night, at least they can
recover
Seventy percent strength... 30,000 cavalry. As far as I know, the 100,000 troops under Wei Gong Ji Run's command are almost all infantry, bows, and crossbows. How can he have the courage to take the initiative to attack?... Could it be that he has some tricks to deal with cavalry?
Policy?"
"I don't know about this." Bao Yuan shook his head, then frowned and said: "However, just looking at Wei Jun's actions in the past few days, I know that Wei Gongzi Ji Run is a smart and cunning person... In short, no matter what
Does he have a trick to deal with my 30,000 cavalry? Once his army attacks the Xuans, I, the general, will immediately attack their flanks."
To be fair, Bao Yuan couldn't guess at this time whether Wei Gongzi Ji Run really had any way to defeat his 30,000 cavalry, but at this point, he could only believe it, because if the Wei army was just bluffing, and
However, he was too frightened to attack, which led to the Wei army's capture of Xuanshi County, so he was to blame.
"Thank you, General, for your help." Jin Miao clasped his fists, and then asked seriously: "General, when do you think Wei Gongzi Ji Run will send troops to attack my family?"
Bao Yuan stroked his beard thoughtfully and said seriously: "He has one hundred thousand infantry under his command, and I have thirty thousand cavalry. Using infantry to attack cavalry is inherently weak, so he would not choose to do it at night. Otherwise, he would be in vain.
The infantry may not belong to my 30,000 cavalry
Opponent. Therefore, he will definitely choose to do it in the daytime... Furthermore, since he wants to force out my 30,000 cavalry, he will definitely pose a threat to your Xun family... According to his cunning way of using troops, he will probably not attack Xun by force.
Instead, we should adopt a sneak attack..."
Having said this, he nodded as if he was suddenly enlightened, squinted his eyes and said firmly: "Tomorrow morning, before sunrise, he will lead his army to sneak attack on your Yun family... If everything goes well, he will put pressure on your Yun family.
Forced me to lead the cavalry to rush to support, just as the sun was rising..."
Hearing this, Jin Yao couldn't help but look at Baoyuan in shock.
Because of Baoyuan's slovenly appearance and whiskers, the first impression given to people is that he is a reckless man with unmatched courage. However, in fact, he is a fierce general who is good at using military strategies and is both civil and military.
"I understand how to do it."
After a long while, Jin Mao nodded and said.
Seeing this, Bao Yuan stroked his beard and chuckled: "Don't scare the snake in advance and alert the Wei army."
"I understand." Jin Wei chuckled and nodded.
After that, the two chatted for a while, and then Bao Yuan left the Yuan family and returned to his team.
So having said that, is Bao Yuan’s guess accurate?
Not to mention, his guess was not bad at all. Zhao Hongrun indeed planned to sneak attack on the Hyun family, and the time of the sneak attack was exactly before sunrise the next day.
At Yinshi the next day, the three military camps of the Wei army - the Shangshui Military Camp on Fayu Mountain, the Yanling Military Camp on Yangtou Mountain, and the main camp 30 miles southwest of Xuushi County, where King Su Zhao Hongrun was personally in charge. These three military camps were left behind
After leaving behind the troops left behind, they quietly sent out troops and headed in the direction of Xuushi County in the dark.
I don’t know if Bao Yuan saw through his mind, but Zhao Hongrun really likes to launch sneak attacks on the eve of dawn.
Some people may think that late at night is the best time to sneak attack on the enemy, but in fact it is not.
Because people's psychology will involuntarily tighten their nerves in a dark environment, especially the troops fighting on the front line. The more battle-experienced soldiers are, the more alert they will be in the dark night.
Dawn is the transition from night to day. For the guards who have been on duty all night, when they see some light of the sun appearing on the horizon, they will instinctively relax, because in their impression, a sneak attack
This should only happen at night. Since the sun has risen, it is obvious that the enemy will not come to sneak attack.
Zhao Hongrun just likes to take advantage of this cognitive misunderstanding and take advantage of the last hint of darkness before dawn to launch a surprise attack on the enemy who have relaxed their spirit.
But today, it seems that the situation is somewhat special.
Because when Zhao Hongrun was leading his army to march towards Xuushi County, he heard the faint sound of fighting coming from the south.
At that time, Zhao Hongrun was stunned, because there were no friendly troops to the south of his King Su army, only 30,000 light cavalry under the command of Han general Baoyuan.
In this case, why are there sounds of fighting coming from the south on this quiet night of dawn?
It’s not like Han general Baoyuan’s 30,000 light cavalry are killing each other, right?
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized. He then remembered that there were indeed his people in the south - the Green Crows who were sent out yesterday to monitor the 30,000 Qingqi under Bao Yuan's command!
Obviously, this was when the Green Crows bumped into the scolding knights of the Storm Kite Army who were patrolling at night.
Suddenly, the Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao patted Zhao Hongrun on the shoulder, pointed to the southern sky and whispered: "Your Highness, look."
Zhao Hongrun turned his head and looked south.
I saw more than a dozen firelights rising slowly in the dark night sky in the south. However, they were so far apart that Zhao Hongrun could not see them clearly, and the more than a dozen firelights disappeared.
"..."
Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, because in his memory, it was the fire arrow used by the Blue Crows to convey urgent military information at night.
As for what kind of emergency military situation is nearby, you have to guess by yourself, unless the Green Crows who sent the emergency signal return alive and tell the truth personally.
What was the reason that caused the Blue Crows to send out an emergency signal?
There is only one reason, and that is that the Storm Kite Army in the south has moved strangely for some unknown reason.
"Could it be that my intention has been seen through by Bao Yuan, and he is trying to launch a sneak attack on our army while our army is attacking Yunshi County?"
Glancing to the south, Zhao Hongrun frowned.
"Wei Jiao, order the soldiers in the army to beware of sneak attacks by the enemy's cavalry."
