Chapter 1431 Sneak Attack

Chapter 1431 Sneak Attack Ten

The Ming army took the initiative to attack, and the news of the night attack on the Zhou army's camp quickly spread throughout the Luoyang battlefield.

"Mr. Pang, why did the Ming army attack suddenly?"

At the Sunset Pavilion, Zhang Fei couldn't figure it out, so he asked Pang Tong directly.

"I don't really understand their purpose!"

Pang Tong pondered for a while, and replied: "But there is one thing, the Ming army must have a plan for this plan!"

"The Ming army always likes to play tricks!"

Zhang Xiu also fought with the Ming army for many years. He fought back from Guanzhong to Xiliang, and fought back from Xiliang. It can be regarded as experience: "They often use unnecessary means to cover up their true identity. Combat intent!"

"Ok!"

Pang Tong agreed with this point: "The Ming army has a very familiar set of combat strategies. Every battle of theirs seems to have been carefully calculated. Sometimes in order to conceal their intentions, they will make many, many fake moves to cover up. Don't let us notice!"

"Then what are the combat intentions of the Ming army?"

Zhang Fei felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Although oppressed by the Ming army, they dare not send troops for the time being, and in principle they hope that the Ming army and the Hebei Zhou army will fight a situation where you die and I die.

Therefore, some of the soldiers and horses of their Yan army are now stationed on the sunset pavilion, and some are even pressing on the Hangu Pass on the west road, guarding the way to the west wing.

But this only cut off the reinforcements of the Ming army in the west of Guanzhong.

It did not affect the strategic deployment of the entire Ming army.

The most important thing is that the main force of the Ming army is now concentrated on Luoyang. If they can't win the Luoyang battle, even if they go south, they will only seek their own death.

What they want to see is a situation where both sides suffer, rather than the Ming army killing the Hebei Zhou army, which does not meet their expectations. Once such a situation occurs, they will send troops to reinforce without hesitation.

After all, in their hearts, they fear the Ming army even more than the princes of the world. The Ming army is too strong, and some of them have surpassed the level of all their princes.

"Release all the scouts!"

Zhang Fei finally decided to hold back and not move. He didn't think it was a good thing to send troops to provoke at this time. After all, the Ming army and Zhou army had not yet confronted each other.

At that time, if you accidentally put Ming Jun's thoughts on yourself, it will be a tragedy.

Although Zhang Fei is reckless, he can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Liu Bei, and he can save the three armies on the battlefield. He has his own extraordinary ability, and he is not a fool.

"I must keep an eye on all the actions of the Ming army, and report every hour. A certain family must clearly understand their every move!"

Zhang Fei said in a low voice.

"promise!"

The scout captain led the order, and the Yan army scouts quickly increased the intensity of inspections, covering the entire Luoyang battlefield, staring at every gate of the city, and biting every move of the Ming army.

..............................

The Hulao is closed.

Xia Houyuan also received the news that the Ming army attacked the Hebei Zhou army at night. The news arrived relatively late, but it was enough to make him look surprised.

"If you strengthen your defense, there is nothing wrong with it, but if you take the initiative to attack, you will either seek your own death, or have invincible self-confidence?"

Xia Houyuan paced back and forth, he couldn't figure it out.

"General, could it be that the Ming army intends to attack east and west?"

Some confidant generals made suggestions.

"Where is the east, and where is the west?" Xia Houyuan's eyes lit up, and his mind became restless.

"They attacked the Hebei Zhou army at night. If it wasn't for the Youzhou Yan army on the sunset pavilion, it must have been imprisoned by us!" The generals of the Wei army became a little serious.

"Do they have the guts to send troops to Hulao Pass?" Someone put forward a different idea, thinking that Hulao Pass is strong and difficult to attack, and now that the Ming army has captured Hulao Pass, it is not very useful, so they should not be attacking Hulao Pass. locked up.

"It's hard to say!"

However, another part of the generals of the Wei army believed that it was difficult for the Ming army to guess: "They can station the main force at Mengjinkou, so why dare not attack Hulao pass? If they take Hulao pass, they can enter the hinterland of Yanyu and retreat. To defend the Luoyang Eastern Front, for the Ming army, it is tantamount to directly expanding the Luoyang battlefield, and even allow Hulao Pass and Luoyang City to form a new corner defense!"

The generals began to quarrel violently around the issue of this purpose.

Xia Houyuan is a lenient man, he always attaches great importance to his subordinates, strengthens their understanding of strategy and tactics, allows them to quarrel, and allows them to express their ideas.

But this kind of quarrel gave him a little headache.

On the contrary, it is more difficult to judge the strategic deployment of the Ming army.

The sudden arrival of the Ming army was beyond his expectations. In fact, it is not surprising that they launched an attack, but what is more strange is the night attack.

Night attack is not necessarily a good word, nor is it an easy battle to fight. On the contrary, it is more risky. If you are not careful, you will collapse.

This is a highly adventurous battle, and sneak attacks are preferred, night attacks are rare, and night attacks are all about luck. Five or six times out of ten, they will fail due to environmental factors.

The Ming army took risks, and what they wanted, this was a question he needed to think through.

But now, it is difficult for him to guess what the Ming army is thinking.

So he can only let people keep an eye on the Ming army, at least not let the Ming army go beyond his own deduction too much: "Order the scouts to go out, first stare at Mengjinkou, and then keep an eye on the Luoyang battlefield!"

"Yes!"

............................................................

Unexpectedly, after a night attack, the Ming army suddenly turned off, and all the soldiers and horses withdrew from outside the city, forming a peaceful confrontation with the Zhou army.

As long as Zhou Jun does not take the initiative to attack, they will rarely react, and even if Zhou Jun takes the initiative to attack, they are just defending.

This kind of calm caused the atmosphere on the Luoyang battlefield to fall into a gloomy atmosphere.

And it's the calm before the storm.

Not only did the Hebei Zhou army become extremely alert, but even the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings quickly became a little nervous.

The sound of horseshoes around Luoyang City has decreased a little, but the sound of footsteps has become much more.

For six or seven days in a row, there was no fight.

This kind of confrontation made the atmosphere around Luo Yang seem to have dropped below the freezing point, not only making people guess the mind of the opaque army, but also making people feel an unspeakable pressure.

Yuan Shao began to mobilize troops continuously.

The main force of the Zhou army in Hebei, with the entire Mangshan Mountain as the center, presents an arc array, encircling the entire north city of Luoyang.

The soldiers and horses of various ministries continued to press down on the border, and they had already surpassed the moat and were directly approaching the city.

But the Ming army is still as stable as ever.

Let you provoke, unless you take the initiative to attack the city, you will never shoot back an arrow, let you show off your might, and submit to it, just like the best kindness is like water.

And the more this happened, the more Yuan Shao became a little manic.

"What are they thinking?"

In the camp at Mangshan, Yuan Shao was furious.

There was a sigh of relief in my heart.

The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel, as if the unknown fear is covering me, making me fall into a brilliant and restless mood.

"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient. The Ming army may just want us to mess up our own positions. Let's ignore their purpose and strategy!" Tian Feng already keenly felt that Yuan Shao's state was not right.

This made him feel a little gloomy.

The Ming army's response this time is not only a strategic and tactical arrangement, but also an arrangement that seems to affect people's hearts.

Although the fight on the battlefield is for the lives of ordinary soldiers, it is aimed at the combat thinking above. Yuan Jun's combat thinking was built around Yuan Shao's thoughts.

If the Ming army was targeting Yuan Shao's emotions, then this is a terrible strategy. The so-called capture of the thief and the king does not mean that it is just mourning on the battlefield, and the three armies seize the commander. As long as you restrain them in terms of strategy and tactics, you can achieve the arrangement of capturing the thief and capturing the king.

This situation cannot happen to Yuan Shao.

Otherwise, the army of more than [-] will collapse immediately.

Tian Feng calmed down and began to enlighten Yuan Shao in detail: "No matter what strategic deployment the Ming army has, it is actually not very important to us. Now they are defending and we are attacking, so the rhythm of the battlefield should be ours. Take control, we say offense is offense, we can't let them lead us by the nose!"

Tian Feng's words are still very effective. The most important thing is that Yuan Shao trusts Tian Feng very much as always. After all, Tian Feng has a lot of credit for the establishment of the Zhou Kingdom in Hebei today.

Hearing this, his mind sank, and he also keenly sensed some problems: "Yuan Hao, you mean that the Ming army is now affecting my mood and affecting the entire combat rhythm?"

"It's very possible!"

Tian Feng said: "The Ming army is very strong. Another thing is that next year's battle plan is also very sufficient. Now the military adviser in Luoyang City, the Xi Zhicai who is known as the number one military adviser in the Ming Dynasty, has the name of wisdom. He is extremely intelligent, and he is a difficult person to deal with. If he arranges a strategy for the king, he will definitely take into account the king's emotions, and use this seemingly inactive strategy to make it appear that the Ming army is deep and the wisdom pearl is in his hands. Naturally, the king's emotions are also aroused in it. Once the king becomes manic, our army will forcefully attack and lose the standard, and they will easily be used by them to find a breakthrough and defeat our main force instead!"

War is fought on the battlefield, but what is attacked is the hearts of the people. No matter how good the tactics and strategies are, they all come from people.

This is also an offensive trait.

The Ming army was obviously using this atmosphere to influence Yuan Shao's mind, thereby affecting the entire arrangement of Yuan Jun.

"They are too insidious!"

Yuan Shao was a little bit bewildered, and also a little bit scared, he gritted his teeth and said: "It's too abominable to plan Gu Gu like this. When I capture Luoyang, I will capture Xi Zhicai alive!"

"Don't worry, my lord. As long as we follow the steps and attack steadily, Luo Yang will definitely not be able to stop us!" Tian Feng said firmly.

As long as the granary in Wangyue Mountain is established and they have enough food support, they can carry out a tactical arrangement of encircling and attacking Luoyang.

At that time, they can use a delaying tactical arrangement, even if they don't defeat the Ming army head-on, they can drag the Ming army down.

It is not a good strategic plan for the Ming army to stick to Luoyang. In a short period of time, there will be no major problems, but once it persists for a long time, problems will definitely occur.

And now even Hangu Pass has been taken by the Yan army in Youzhou, and the Ming army can't even guarantee the food road.

Such a situation does not seem to be very favorable for the Zhou army in Hebei. In fact, the Zhou army still has an advantage.

........................

One afternoon, Jin Wuxi fell.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected every corner of Luoyang City, covered the Ming Army headquarters, and even penetrated every window of the Transparent Army headquarters, reflecting the light on the big faces of Ming Army generals.

A huge sand table stands in the center of the battle hall, surrounded by dozens of generals of the Ming army, each with serious expressions on their faces.

"During the past ten days, we have already rejected twelve sets of tactical advances, but they were all rejected. That means our tactics are not enough for us to win this battle. Next, we will carry out No.13 sets of tactics. Tactical deduction!" Xi Zhicai held a small wooden stick in his hand and pointed at the sand table, his voice slightly low.

Ten days had passed since the night attack. During this period of time, the Luoyang battlefield was somewhat calm, and the Ming army put on a defensive posture, even if they provoked it, they would not move.

As for the Hebei Zhou army, although the oppression became more ferocious, they did not carry out the final attack. They were still besieging the city, and the sound of horseshoes walked around the city every day, shaking the surface of Luoyang North City that was trampled by horses. .

But in this way, it still can't inspire the army to fight.

The calmness of the Ming army has even fallen into a feeling of silence, which makes people more and more guess the mind of the Ming army.

But at this time, the Ming army, to the surprise of no one, actually gathered the defenses on the left and right wings. The east and west cities of Luoyang, including the south city, were just empty defenses.

All the main forces have been concentrated in the north of Luoyang.

The intention is already evident.

Fight to the death.

They wanted to fight a decisive battle with the biggest opponent in Guanzhong, Zhou Guo of Hebei, and they even did not hesitate to fight with their backs, or even Luo Yang could not care about it.

Either Hebei will lose.

Either they lose.

The loser may not be completely annihilated, but in the final round of the competition, they will definitely lose their qualifications.

"It's still the same question, once the attack starts, who will take the lead?"

Xi Zhicai's eyes are very deep, he is staring at the sand table, besides other independent combat battalions, now there are three main forces under his command, Zhaoming First Army, Zhaoming Second Army, and Zhaoming Third Army.

One of them must be the main attacker.

This requires a very tenacious fighting will and the most ferocious attacking force to be competent.

The main force of Zhaoming's first army is the most skilled in the battle formation, but the individual strength is weak, and the combat power is concentrated on the change of the battle formation. Once the battle is dispersed, the combat power will be insufficient.

On the other hand, Zhaoming's third army has the strongest individual combat power, but they are not familiar with the battle formation, and they will suffer a lot in battle. Their style is wild, and they can attack, but they cannot use large-scale attacks.

The Zhaoming Second Army's battle formation is not as good as that of the Zhaoming First Army, and its individual strength is not as good as that of the Zhaoming Second Army, but its overall combat effectiveness is actually the strongest.

This is the ideal main attacker.

Zhaoming Second Army, the main general Pang De.

Pound is also a Xiliang warrior, and his combat power is not inferior to Ma Chao. If he has already used the main attack method, it is more appropriate to attack the Ming army.
