In Shuzhou City, Gao Gan and Lu Weihuang stood on the city tower, holding a pergola and looking down at the city.
"Shuai Gan, have you noticed that there seems to be something wrong with the number of people in the Red Flame Camp outside the city."
The senior cadre observed the enemy's situation attentively and said casually: "Captain Lu, the commander of the Red Flame Battalion is Zhang He, an old general of the Jizhou Army. He was deeply loved by Han Fu at first, but for some reason he switched to Mad Dog Lin.
.Zhang He is a man who is careful in his military use and brave in battle. He is not an ordinary person. There is something strange happening in the camp outside the city. I suspect it is his plan to lure our troops out of the city to fight in the field."
Lu Weihuang thought for a while and did not refute.
The two of them were really frightened by Zhang He. Ever since Zhang He led his army into Hejian, he had been rubbing the two of them, rubbing their left cheeks and rubbing their right cheeks, and their skins had long been rubbed clean.
After observing for a long time, both of them felt a little nervous in their hearts. What if there was really a problem within Lin Jun?
Finally, it was Lu Weihuang who spoke first: "Commander Qian, why don't you, General, lead your troops out of the city to test it out?"
The senior officer's face was filled with confusion: "Calculating the time, both the Liaodong Army and the Youzhou Army should enter Hejian. However, we haven't received any news from my uncle yet, and we don't know whether it is good or bad. It is now a critical period.
, do you and I want to risk going out of the city and give it a try?"
Thinking of Zhang He's invincible majesty on the battlefield, Lu Weihuang couldn't help but shudder, and his tone became hesitant again.
"How about we wait a little longer?"
Smashing his fist hard against the city wall, Gao Gan closed his eyes in pain: "If any of the two gentlemen Guo Tushen and Pei were here, we wouldn't be so passive."
Lu Weihuang curled his lips secretly and thought to himself: "Nonsense! Without Guo Shen and his two men as envoys to Youzhou and Liaodong, the two princes and grandsons would have been able to come all the way to help. Do you really think that all the princes in the world are just living Lei Feng?"
Of course, it is impossible for Comrade Lu Weihuang to know the name of Uncle Lei Feng, but the general meaning is the same.
In the end, the senior cadre made up his mind.
"The fighting opportunity is fleeting, and there is no room for you and me to hesitate. In this case, I went to battle with General Lu, and the troops were divided into two groups to attack from the west and south of the city. The main purpose was to test. Unless we are sure, we cannot
Love to fight in case you fall into Zhang He's trick."
"The general will obey your orders."
The two of them agreed that Gao Gan would lead 5,000 troops out of the south gate, and Lu Weihuang would lead 5,000 troops out of the west gate. If they encountered a small group of Red Flame Camp troops, they would fight them. They should not get too close to Lin Jun's camp, nor should they be more than five miles away from the city.
inside.
The reason why the two of them are not together is because they are worried about being killed by Zhang He.
Anyway, we have tried it before. Gao Gan and Lu Weihuang worked together, but they were no match for Zhou Cang, let alone Zhang He. Do you really think that 90 points of force was in vain?
Since we are no match together, then simply using our troops separately will be more effective in preserving our strength.
Just look at how poor Gao Gan and Lu Weihuang are, and you can see how powerful Zhang He’s Red Flame Camp is.
What kind of strong pressure was placed on them, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was overwhelming.
These two guys secretly led the troops to open the city gates, without firing trumpets or beating drums, and quietly led the troops out to fight. The style did not look like they were sending out troops and setting off horses to fight, but the more they looked at it, the more they saw pickpockets from the city going to the countryside to steal.
The sense of sight of a chicken.
In the commander's tent of the Red Flame Camp, Zhang He frowned and stared at the battle map for a long time. The fragrant tea in the tea bowl at hand had already cooled down, and there was no trace of heat left.
Sad!
Wu Anguo led his troops to support the Wen'an battlefield, but the troops in his hands were obviously insufficient.
There are now only more than 9,000 horses and horses left outside Shuzhou City, less than 10,000.
It seems that Shuzhou is still besieged, but in fact, large areas of the camp are empty.
In order not to be noticed by high-ranking officials and others, Zhang He had to send a large number of elite soldiers to pretend to be patrols and patrol around the outside of Shuzhou City every day to show off their power.
In fact, Zhang He also understood that this kind of bluff would not last long.
Although the high-ranking cadre is not highly armed, he has rich battlefield experience and can be regarded as a shrewd commander.
Over time, he will inevitably see the flaws.
It's just that Zhang He, as smart as he is, is a little helpless now. He can't conjure an army out of thin air.
If Zhang He had followed his original intention, he had already gathered his troops, lifted the siege of Shuzhou, led his troops to retreat to the Ziya River, and camped along the river, far away from Shuzhou City, both for surveillance and coercion.
Anyway, Gao Gan and Lu Weihuang were also frightened by him, so they would not take the initiative to raise troops to fight. They only need to wait until the battle of Wen'an City is over, or the lord captures Wuyuan City. By then, Shuzhou City will not be left to his liking.
Bian, just do whatever you feel comfortable with.
But Zhang He had some scruples in his heart.
The Red Flame Battalion cannot be ranked as the main force in Lin's army. Since the Lord has entrusted the main task of attacking Hejian to the shoulders of the Red Flame Battalion, this is a great trust in Zhang He.
Now the war in Hejian has entered the final stage. If he leads his troops to retreat, Gao Gan will take the opportunity to abandon the city and flee, causing nearly 20,000 Yuan troops in Shuzhou City to join the Wuyuan battlefield, thus leading to the Wuyuan Battle led by the Lord.
Repeatedly, then Zhang Heke will really die from his guilt.
According to the analysis of the battle report sent by the lord, the Heishan Battalion in Zhongshan should have no combat mission at this time. If the lord can send a strong force to join the battle in Shuzhou, Zhang He can guarantee that the high-ranking officials will be locked up in Shuzhou City and wait.
It took ten days and a half to break the city and win the Battle of Shuzhou.
It's a pity that Zhongshan County is too far away from Shuzhou. Even if Zhang He wrote a letter at this time and asked the lord to send troops, it would be too late. Senior officials would never be so stupid that they could not see that Chiyan Camp was short of major generals in five or six days.
situation.
Just as Zhang He was struggling in the commander's tent, there was suddenly a chaotic sound of running outside the tent, and there were soldiers reporting outside the tent.
"To report to the commander, I just came to report that there are two groups of troops in Shuzhou City. They left the city from the south gate and the west gate respectively.
Quietly marching towards our camp without any support."
Zhang He stood up, but the senior officials reacted so quickly. No wonder Yuan Shaoken handed over most of the military power to his nephew. This man really had such a trick.
"How many troops are there in these two groups? Have you ever found out who leads them?"
"Both teams have a strength of five to six thousand. The team leaving the west gate is led by a general named Lu, and the team leaving the south gate plays a high-character flag."
Zhang Hewen rolled his eyes and a happy smile broke out on his face.
Senior cadre, oh senior cadre, you have been shrewd all your life, but now you are confused for a moment. In this case, I, Zhang Junyi, reluctantly accepted the big gift package you personally sent!
"After my general's order, the three armies abandoned their baggage, gathered at the commander's flag at full speed, and slowly withdrew towards the Ziya River."
Zhang He gave an order, and the Red Flame Battalion besieging the city didn't even bother to put away their tents. They hurriedly used the cover of the tents and followed the routine they had practiced long ago to quickly gather outside the south gate of Shuzhou City.
Gao Gan led his troops to slowly approach the camp of Red Flame Camp. The closer he got, the more aggrieved he felt.
The camp in front of them was clearly empty, and the Red Flame Army inside had already disappeared.
"The whole army stopped advancing and sent out scout horses to look around."
The senior cadres were afraid of falling into Zhang He's trick of luring the enemy, so they decided to rest on the spot and wait for the reward of the probing horse.
Soon after, some detectives came back to report.
The Red Flame Battalion had abandoned its camp, released the encirclement, and gathered the entire army to retreat to the Ziya River. According to visual inspection, the number of Chiyan Battalion retreating to the Ziya River at this time was less than 3,000.
Hey!
How is this going?
Gao Gan knocked on his forehead. Could it be that Lin's army was in trouble and therefore mobilized troops from the Shuzhou battlefield to reinforce other battlefields?
Thinking of this, Gao Gan's eyes lit up.
The Liaodong army must have arrived at Wen'an. Huaziying could not resist it and had to ask for help from Chiyanying. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Zhang He pretended to besiege the city with a small number of troops.
If this is really the case, doesn't it mean that there is a chance to take revenge, and there is a chance to push Zhang He to the ground and rub him.
"Great, order the troops to pursue at full speed, and bite the Red Flame Camp retreating to Ziya River. At the same time, Pegasus goes to report to General Lu and the city defenders, ordering them to come at full speed to join me. Today we must be fierce
I gave Zhang He a severe blow, so that he would never dare to look down upon our Hejian army again."
"Got the order!"
Several messengers ran away quickly, and the senior officer became more and more excited as he thought about it. He jumped on his horse and led his troops to bite the tail of the Red Flame Camp.
Little did he know that he had fallen into Zhang He's clever plan.
For Zhang He, he was not afraid that he would come after him, but only that he would refuse to come.
As long as a high-ranking official comes to attack in person, Zhang He dares to teach him whether to come or go.
