Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 64 Planning (23)

The next day, when the sun first appeared, Huang She gathered his men, started cooking, and prepared to attack Chaisang City.

Huo Jun was playing with the sand table in Chaisang City in the camp. Chaisang is located in the water network area near the mountains and lakes.Although it is not close to the Yangtze River, it faces the lake to the east and west, and can only be accessed by the north-south dry road.You can reach Lushan Mountain by taking the dry road out of the south gate, and you can reach the Yangtze River Water Village by going out of the north gate.

Therefore, there are not many roads to choose from when attacking Chaisang City. There are only two land routes from the north and south that can be attacked.It is quite difficult to break through this city when it is attacked on one side.If Guan Yu followed Guan Yu's plan and attacked with a large number of troops, it would generally not be easy.

However, Chaisang City is not without its shortcomings. It is located on a protruding hilly area between two lakes. The city is narrow and it is difficult to accumulate large numbers of troops. This is why Xu Sheng only led [-] troops. Even if Jiangxia moved, he only added [-] troops. .

Listening to the sound of drums for Huang She's troops to set off, Huo Jun placed the small flag symbolizing Huang She at the north gate of Chaisang.This was the direction Huang She chose to attack the city gate, and it was also the most conducive to the expansion of the army.

"Join the army. General Huang Pian has led his troops to attack Chaisang City." Gao Xiang walked into the camp and said, "Join the army and let General Huang Pian lead his troops to attack Chaisang City. Is it a big deal? Our army should hold the line for him. "

Huo Jun held a small flag symbolizing himself in his hand and said with a smile: "Could it be that Fenglu thought that Huang Pian would be difficult to defeat Chaisang?"

Gao Xiang nodded slightly and said worriedly: "Xiang has many contacts with his tribe. Although his tribe is good at water warfare, his military discipline is unclear and his soldiers are hard to say brave. If he is allowed to attack Chaisang City now, Xiang is afraid that it will be difficult for him to break the city. And what about Xu? Sheng Zhen is as brave as joining the army..."

After a little hesitation, Gao Xiang said: "General Huang will have difficulty getting down to Chaisang City. When we are about to withdraw from the siege, I am afraid that Xu Sheng will take the opportunity to cover up and escape. Our army should hold down the formation for him to prevent the army from being defeated."

In ancient siege battles, the defenders were not the only ones to be beaten, but had the opportunity to take action.For example, when the siege team is withdrawing from the siege, the entire army is in a transition period and the military formation is chaotic. The defender will often seize this opportunity to fight. Zhang Liao's battle of Xiaoyaojin was to seize Sun Quan's retreat and lead 7000 men to fight out; or At night, the garrison soldiers went out of the city to attack the enemy camp at night, which was also an opportunity to seize the enemy's lax defense.

Therefore, Gao Xiang's worries are not unreasonable. If Huang She's army encounters Xu Sheng who emerges from the army during the transformation period due to the military discipline of his army, the end will probably be ugly.

With a smile on his face, Huo Jun said: "And Xu Sheng really attacked and caused General Huang to be defeated. Isn't this an opportunity for our army?"

With that said, Huo Jun placed the small flag in his hand on the west and south gates of Chaisang on the sand table.

Hearing this, Gao Xiang's expression suddenly changed and he said in surprise: "Join the army and want to attack?"

"Exactly!"

Huo Jun pointed to the sand table and said: "Chaisang City is small and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the city is divided into north and south. If the north city is attacked by a strong enemy, Xu Sheng will dispatch sergeants to gather at the north gate to defend against the attacking army. By then the south city will be empty, and we will The army deployed its sergeants at the west and south gates. When the enemy is slack, they can climb over the wall and capture the city. If, as Feng Lu said, Xu Sheng took the opportunity to cover up and kill the Huang Pianjun headquarters, as far as we are concerned, it is Good opportunity.”

Huo Jun, who was in Jiangxia, had already found out the topography of Chaisang City.He insisted on dragging Huang She to fight Chaisang, either because he liked his reputation and attracted Xu Sheng's attention to the north of the city, or to attract him out of the city.

People in the inner circle like Liu Bei, Gan Ning, and Huo Du knew that commanding the navy to shoot Xu Kun and behead Ling Cao was Huo Jun's work, but people like Jiangdong didn't know.

According to Jingzhou's official propaganda, it was Huang She, the son of Huang Zu. After his father died, he commanded the navy to kill two generals, Xu Kun and Ling Cao, and became a powerful figure in Jiangdong.Coupled with Huang She's resume and the majesty of his father Huang Zu, isn't he a perfect star of a famous general?
When a famous general takes action, see if Xu Sheng dares to underestimate Huang She and whether he will go all out.Once he goes all out, isn't this Huo Jun's chance to take action?
If you had made an agreement with Huang She in advance to let him attract Xu Sheng to fight, it would be a question whether he would be willing to fight seriously based on his habits.If your acting skills are too poor, your secret will be exposed. It is better to put your true feelings into the performance.

Listening to Huo Jun's explanation, Gao Xiang opened his mouth wide, obviously he was shocked.Huo Jun had repeatedly emphasized in front of everyone that he had no choice.But this strategy had been planned long ago, and not only did he deceive his subordinates, but he also deceived Huang She.

Watching Gao Xiang go from bewildered to shocked to admirable, Huo Jun explained: "It is said in ancient times that if a king is not secretive, he will lose his ministers, and if his ministers are not secretive, he will lose his virginity. The same is true for running an army today. If a commander is not secretive, he will lose his army, and if a general is not secretive, he will lose his virginity." Died. From now on, the army must be run with rigor and not carelessly."

Huo Jun sat on the central couch and said in a deep voice: "Raise the tent and send orders to the generals."

"promise!"

After a while, the gathering drum sounded, and Huo Du, Gao Xiang, Li Wei, Gao Chen, Huo Yuan and others gathered in the military tent.

"How many soldiers are available in the army?" Huo Jun asked.

"If you wish to join the army, 300 people from our army headquarters can go into battle with the army." Huo Du replied.

Although Huang She and Huo Jun claimed to send 5000 troops, the actual number was about 500.Huang She's tribe has 200 people, and Huo Jun's headquarters has 300 people. "good!"

Huo Jun ordered: "Gao Xiang and Li Wei obey orders."

"exist!"

Huo Jun took out the military order and ordered: "The west gate of Chaisang is adjacent to a lake with a forest of reeds. You two lead 600 men and horses, enter the lake in a small boat, and hide among the reeds so that the enemy cannot find it. Wait until the drums sound loudly. , soldiers came out from the reeds and captured the east water gate and its city wall."

"promise!"

Gao Xiang took the military order and responded with his hands in hand.

"Where are Huo Du and Gao Chen?"

"exist!"

Huo Jun held the military order and said: "The south gate of Chaisang is close to Chaisang Mountain. You and your 600 men will hide in the mountain and cannot be detected by the enemy. When the drum sounds in the east, you and your two men will lead the army to capture Chaisang." Nancheng. Then, together with Gao Xiang and Li Wei, they surrendered Chaisang City."

The name of Chaisang City comes from the fact that the city is close to Chaisang Mountain, so it is so named.

"No!" Huo Du responded after receiving the military order.

Seeing that everyone was getting ready to go, Huo Jun warned: "Break Chaisang, immediately enter the government office, capture his subordinates, seal off the military depot, and do not take money and food indiscriminately or kill livestock indiscriminately. When Chaisang City is conquered, Jun will distribute the money and food to the disciples." "

"promise!"

"send troops!"

……

In Chaisang, Xu Sheng was already standing on the city tower, holding his sword tightly, gathering the officers in the city, and said: "According to the scouts, most of the enemy has penetrated deep into Pengli Ze and attacked the city. The one who is besieging our Chaisang City today is General Huang She. In the battle of Jiangxia, he commanded the navy to cut off the rear, shoot Xu Pinglu and behead Ling Po, which should not be underestimated."

Hearing this, everyone looked serious and did not dare to relax.

Xu Sheng added: "Although the enemy has about five thousand people, six times as many as ours, they have come from afar to attack the city today. They have few weapons, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Our troops are all good at bows and crossbows. The arrows piled up like a mountain will surely make the enemy return without success."

"promise!"

After receiving the mission, everyone returned to their headquarters, took out their bows and crossbows, and waited on the city tower for the arrival of Huang She's army.

The soldiers in Jiangdong are good at water warfare, but water warriors often use bows and crossbows, and among these eight hundred soldiers, the elite ones are good at using bows and crossbows.

"Boom!"

Four thousand soldiers were already in formation outside the city. Under Huang She's order, his soldiers marched to the sound of drums.

At the same time, more than 1000 soldiers under Huo Jun's command took advantage of the attention of the sergeants in Chaisang City to be attracted by Huang She's army and began to circle from a distance.
