"Report to the general, after the defeat of the siege, the enemy army has all withdrawn, retreated to a place thirty miles away, set up camp, and garrisoned to rest."
Just after Fa Zheng led the army to retreat, a sergeant immediately spied on the military situation and returned, and when he saw Ma Chao and Lu Xun, he stepped forward and bowed.After listening to the sergeant's report, Lu Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for a while, and then said to everyone: "It seems that these enemy troops are really temporarily retreating this time, and they don't plan to attack, and today can be regarded as quiet."
However, even so, everyone must be cautious to avoid some sudden changes.It is impossible to become proud because of a victory, after all, the enemy army is not completely defeated, and there is enough strength to contend with our army. ”I only heard Ma Chao suddenly speak: "Military Division, this time the enemy army has come thousands of miles to attack our army's state city, and at this moment it was defeated by our army's counterattack, and at this moment it was defeated and retreated back into the camp, so it must be a big drop in morale."
According to my Ma Chao, if we can take advantage of the darkness and send troops to attack the Shu Wei camp, we will definitely be able to take advantage of the situation to uproot their camp and annihilate the entire Shu Wei army. ”Lu Xun said without hesitation: "No, no, although the enemy army was defeated this time, this is obviously a conspiracy."
Moreover, since the enemy army is able to put up such a cunning strategy, there must be a capable person to lead the army, and if we want to take advantage of the night to sneak up on the enemy's camp, we will inevitably be ambushed by the enemy. ”Ma Chao questioned: "The military advisor means that the enemy army of Shu Wei will set up an ambush" After speaking, Ma Chao couldn't help but say again: "If that's the case, then why don't we take advantage of this plan and directly serve them to a pot."
Wouldn't it be better to save trouble in the future" When Lu Xun heard this, he immediately refused: "If this is the case, we must dispatch all our armies in order to destroy the enemy's anti-ambush battle as planned, in this way, it will inevitably be a little too consuming of troops."
In addition, the sky was gray, and the soldiers were running at night, not only could they not see clearly, but also required great physical strength. ”"If you can't wipe out all the enemy forces during this period, it is very likely that you will be attacked by a strong enemy army, and then it will be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.Lu Xun thought that it was better for us not to be too hasty, and everything would go according to the original plan, and also take the opportunity to see what tricks the enemy wanted to play.Moreover, the enemy army thought that we would go to a sneak attack, so we deliberately hollowed out our minds to do some defense and ambush, we did not fall into their trap, presumably these enemy troops must be very disappointed, sometimes the battle of wits is actually the mentality. ”After Ma Chao and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, especially when Ma Yunlu saw that his husband had such a talent and talent, and his heart was even more overjoyed.Afterwards, I only heard Ma Chao open his mouth and praise Lu Xun and said: "It is worthy of being a military advisor, and he actually has such a smart asset, this time Lu Xun has made suggestions for us, so why not be afraid of the conspiracy of Shu Wei." ”As soon as Ma Chao's words came out, the surrounding generals and ministers immediately shouted in unison, which shows how high Lu Xun's popularity is among the soldiers.Afterwards, seeing that the battle had ended and the enemy army had temporarily retreated, Ma Chao ordered the sergeants on the city gate tower to immediately adjust and change shifts.Moreover, the brothers who participated in the previous battles, all the war dead were paid high salaries, all the wounded were carried down for good treatment, and all those who were not seriously harmed returned to the camp to rest for the next battle.The next day, early in the morning, the Shu Wei battalion began to move, and many siege soldiers were all ready to go, just waiting for a military order from their superiors, and then set out with swords in hand.After Fa Zheng, Wei Yan, and Le Jin, the three supreme commanders of the army this time, raised it, and with Fa Zheng's military order, the army immediately began to set off and set off again towards Wudu City, which was occupied by the enemy.The tens of thousands of troops of the entire Shu Wei Dynasty rushed towards the city together, stretching for miles on the way, but no one was left behind, which was enough to show the results of rigorous training on weekdays.When the Shu Wei army appeared outside the Wudu City, the Zhao army in the city had already received the news, and many soldiers gathered at the head of the city, ready to do all the defensive postures.When the army set up a formation, Le Jin looked at the dense defenders on the city gate tower in the distance, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a tingling of his scalp.This time, in order to lure the enemy out of the city, he actually gave many failed siege formations to lure the other party, so that there will be many soldiers who died in vain, and Le Jin couldn't bear it in his heart.Although there are about 50,000 soldiers in the Shu army this time, and there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses led by himself, Le Jin still can't bear it in his heart, and he can't help but ask Xiang Fa Zheng and say: "Military division, the enemy army has yesterday's experience and preparation, presumably today will be more brave defense and counterattack, I don't know what new countermeasures the general has" I saw that Fa Zheng looked at the city gate tower in the distance and fell into a burst of thought, and suddenly opened his mouth and said to Le Jin and Wei Yan for a while: "Yesterday, the enemy's strength to defend the city was mostly archers, and they took turns shooting, It's really hard to stop.This time, all the sergeants marched in two columns on the left and right for the siege of the city, and the target was the most flanks of the city gate tower.In the middle were two groups of cavalry, lined up in the center, but standing outside the range of the archers on the tower of the enemy's gates. ”"Since our siege army only captures the left and right sides of the enemy's city, it makes the middle particularly empty, and the archers on the tower can only gather on the left and right sides to counterattack, knowing that so many archers gathered on both sides at the same time can not gather many people, so many archers of the enemy army can be idle.However, the gap in the middle is difficult to ensure that the enemy army will not suddenly open the city gate and give a cavalry attack to kill the siege army on the left and right flanks of our army. ”"As soon as the enemy's gates were opened and enemy troops appeared, the two generals immediately rushed over with our cavalry and fought for the gates in one fell swoop.At that time, the soldiers on the left and right flanks must also gather in the middle of the city gate at the same time, and seize the position of the city gate at all costs. ”After hearing Fa Zheng's words, Le Jin and Wei Yan couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't help but secretly admire in their hearts.You must know that Fa Zheng's plan is quite bold, in the past, the army attacked the city in an irregular row, and rushed straight to the city gate one after another, and at the same time built a long ladder and began to climb.And the guards in the city were also lined up, each shooting hard.But if Fa Zheng gathered all the horses at two ends to attack the city, then the archers on the gate tower could only gather at two ends.However, it is important to know that the available space at the city gate tower is already small, especially the places on the left and right sides are even narrower, and the soldiers who can stand are naturally limited.Although the crowd is concentrated and can deliver the most powerful blows against the enemy forces at the front, the archers are designed to be far faster than the besiegers below.In addition, if some arrows miss or do not hit the vital point, but are only slightly injured or bruised, it is equivalent to losing a chance.When this siege method is implemented, the only thing to defend is that the men and horses in the city suddenly open the city gates, break out a group of cavalry, and kill the siege personnel on the left and right, that is the biggest threat.If a soldier who is attacking with all his strength is suddenly attacked by the enemy in the city, he will be very passive and dangerous.Fa Zheng gave Wei Yan and Le Jin two generals to lead the two teams of cavalry, in the middle of the left and right wings, and do all the emergencies, then give the soldiers of the B army enough security, so that the left and right wings of the B army siege soldiers can attack boldly and confidently, without worrying about the enemy troops on the side.And the Zhao army standing on the tower of the city gate, when he saw the signs of the attack of the Shu Wei army, he couldn't help but be shocked, since the debut of the crowd, he has fought countless battles, and he has not seen many sieges and defending the city, but he has never encountered such a war.Seeing such a strange scene, Ma Chao and the others couldn't help but ask Lu Xun in confusion: "Strategist, look, what kind of trick is this enemy army playing this time, what kind of siege is this" Lu Xun said without hesitation: "Seeing that the guy who led the troops this time is quite brainy, the enemy army uses this way to attack the city, then our archers who defend the city will not be able to give full play to their advantages."
In this way, it is highly likely that the enemy will accelerate the intensity of the offensive, and the two sides will enter a fierce battle. ”Hearing this, Ma Dai hurriedly said: "In this case, we might as well send the archers to the left and right flanks of the city gate tower and shoot the enemy strongly."
Then he led some soldiers and horses out of the city to attack the enemy troops on both flanks, so that they could not be defeated. ”I saw Lu Xun shook his head and said: "For this, our enemy has already thought of countermeasures, you see that the two teams of cavalry in the middle, judging from the clothing and war horses, are two different kinds of cavalry, it should be a Wei army and a Shu army."
These two groups of cavalry have been standing still in the center, just to assist the infantry on the left and right flanks, and once our men and horses go out of the city to flank the enemy troops on the left and right flanks, then the two groups of cavalry will launch a strong attack on us. ”"On the other hand, once we send our troops to attack these two groups of cavalry, then the infantry on the left and right flanks will surround us from both sides and flank our raiding army.Even when the cavalry in the middle saw our city gate open and a sergeant rushed out, they would immediately ride their horses and rush to the front and fight with the sergeants on the left and right flanks to seize the city gate with our army. ”Ma Tie immediately said angrily: "What should we do, is it difficult to watch the enemy army abuse us like this, playing with us and applauding" Suddenly, Ma Yunlu on the side spoke: "Why don't you use our super magic weapon." ”After speaking, looking at everyone looking at him with a look of surprise, Ma Yunlu said again: "When Your Majesty led the army away, there were a lot of tiger crossbows, dragon crossbows and ballistas left. ”:
