Chapter 369 Jia Xu Offers Advice

Sun Qing walked up and down in the Chinese army tent with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, his expression restless.

"Shuai Sun, the Liangzhou Army has a large number of reinforcements arriving, and the sky is full of smoke and dust!"

The soldiers broke into the account and reported it.

"What?"

Sun Qing's complexion changed, she immediately walked out of the tent, boarded the lookout tower, looked into the distance, and immediately frowned.

I could only see the Xiliang barracks tent several miles away, the number of enemy troops was hard to distinguish amidst the rushing smoke and dust, but at least there were tens of thousands of horses, and the sound of people shouting and neighing in the enemy's formation was endless, Sun Qing's face became more and more serious when he saw it ugly.

"Pass down the order, repair the camp, and strictly guard against it." Sun Qing left a sentence, and then returned to the tent with a sullen face, not thinking about eating or drinking.

"Meet the General!"

"Junyi and Gongming don't need to be too polite, just take your seat."

Liu Ye sat on the main seat and waved his hands to signal Zhang Jaw and Xu Huang to take their seats.

Zhang Jaw opened his mouth and said: "General, when Gongming and I led the army to arrive, the enemy army was besieging Wenxi County from all sides. The city was in danger. After discussing with Gongming for a while, I immediately led the army to attack. The enemy army was defeated by nearly half. The formation is strictly guarded, and a certain soldier was worried that there would be too many casualties, so he did not attack on his own initiative, please punish the general."

"Someone also knows about this matter, please punish the general together." Xu Huang said hastily.

Liu Ye smiled: "It's a good thing to cherish the soldiers. Junyi and Xu Huang each rewarded a hundred pieces of silk, and there is no need to punish them."

"Thank you, General." Zhang Jaw and Xu Huang cupped their hands one after another and stopped talking.

And Liu Ye looked at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, what is the movement of the Jizhou Army?"

"General, according to the Hanwen Festival reply, he has ordered General Zhenwei Pan Feng to lead 30,000 troops to the eighth path of Taihang. Presumably the Black Mountain bandits will not act rashly." Jia Xu replied.

Liu Ye smiled: "Okay, if Zhang Yan is restrained, then Sun Qing will be alone all the way, and it will be easy to break."

When Xu Huang heard this, he was eager to make a contribution, stood up and said loudly: "I have received a kindness from the chariot general, and I can't repay him. I am willing to lead the army to destroy Sun Qing's camp."

"Alright, since Gongming is so impatient, then"

Just as Liu Ye was about to give an order, a horse from outside the camp suddenly galloped over.

"Wait a minute, general, an important message has been intercepted here."

Ma Chao jumped off his horse, and walked into the tent with his eyes sparkling.

"Oh? What information does Meng Qi have, come quickly."

Ma Chao cupped his hands slightly: "General, according to the reports from the cavalry scouts, there is a cavalry from the Heishan bandit who is traveling day and night to Wenxi County, and it is about two days away from Wenxi."

Liu Ye frowned when he heard this: "How many cavalry are there in the enemy army?"

The black mountain bandits are said to have millions of people, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. If Zhang Yan is really desperate, it will be really difficult to deal with.

Ma Chao curled his lips in disdain: "Oh, the total number of black mountain bandit cavalry is about four to five thousand, but I don't know what Zhang Yan thinks, they use inferior horses to fill up the number, even if there are ten thousand people Why are you afraid?"

Guan Hai was immediately delighted when he heard this: "Nail horse? Haha, it seems that Zhang Yan was in a hurry and rushed to the doctor. I have never heard of using a naughty horse as a war horse."

Just as people are classified into high and low, horses naturally have different levels of superiority and inferiority. Only high-end horses with strong endurance and good impact can be used as war horses, while those low-level war horses are used to cultivate land, replacing cattle as poor horses.

Narrow horses are born with stunted development, and later they are used to plow the land, which consumes more energy. It is a joke to be used as a war horse.

Ma Chao said, "General, what if I lead my troops to attack, and capture the enemy for the general?"

As the so-called Liangzhou horses run rampant in the world, the famous horse farms in the world are all in Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou. Ma Chao has been in battle for a long time and has seen countless good horses. In his eyes, the four to five thousand cavalry of the black bandits It only takes three thousand Liangzhou iron cavalry, and it can be easily defeated in one fell swoop.

"It's gratifying that General Meng Qi has a high fighting spirit, but Xu has a plan. He can make the enemy's doom without any effort." Jia Xu suddenly laughed.

Liu Ye became interested when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Oh? Wenhe, you are here to listen."

Jia Xu analyzed: "Since Zhang Yan sent cavalry and light soldiers to rescue him, it means that he thinks that Sun Qingshang can lead the troops to stand firm."

"General Zhang Jaw, should Sun Qing send someone to ask Zhang Yan for help?" Jia Xu turned around and asked.

Zhang Jai nodded, and took out a letter from his pocket: "That's right, a certain soldier ordered the cavalry to intercept the enemy's messenger and got several letters. Since Zhang Yan sent troops to rescue him, it seems that there may be something slipping through the net." escaped."

Jia Xu nodded, and said: "The reason why Wang Dang led the army to help is because Sun Qing is still here. The general has now led the main force of the Liangzhou army to arrive, so he can send troops to destroy Sun Qing immediately, and then..."

"Mr. Wen He means to fake the illusion that Sun Qingjun is still there, attract Wang Dang to lead his troops to rescue, and then encircle him with a large army and destroy them in one fell swoop?" Zhang Jai continued.

"That's right, General Junyi is really smart, and he knows everything." Jia Xu smiled slightly.

"I don't know what the general wants?" Jia Xu looked at Liu Ye.

"Yes." Liu Ye thought for a while, and immediately agreed: "However, Sun Qingjun must be wiped out later, and no one should be let go. Don't let Wang Dang know the news, then this plan will fail. .”

Zhang Jai suggested: "General, you can order your soldiers to dig trenches outside the enemy's camp to prevent the enemy from escaping. You can set up an army on the periphery. If the enemy flees, you can capture them."

Liu Ye agreed: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you."

"promise."

Liu Ye stood up, looked around the two rows of generals on the left and right, and gave orders.

"All generals obey orders!"

"Xu Huang, you led 5,000 infantry as the vanguard. At midnight, you beat the three-tone drum first and did not march, and waited until the enemy army was exhausted to attack the enemy's camp first."

Xu Huang was overjoyed: "No!"

"Pang De, Ma Chao, and you each lead two thousand cavalry to stand outside the camp. If the enemy rushes out of the camp, immediately lead the cavalry to charge left and right to disperse the enemy and disrupt the formation."

"promise!"

"promise!"

Finally, Liu Ye looked at Zhang Jai: "Zhang Jai, you lead two thousand cavalry to guard outside the trench. If you see the enemy fleeing, arrest them immediately, and don't let any one go."

"promise!"

After the order was issued, Liu Ye said in a deep voice, "Launch a general attack at midnight tonight, and the enemy must not escape one person, understand?"

"Promise!" All the generals agreed in unison, all gearing up, with high fighting spirit.

When Liu Ye made arrangements that day, all the generals prepared one after another, while Zhang Jai dispatched troops to dig a trench around Sun Qing's camp. Plan for a protracted war.

However, this time is different.
