Chapter 24 Water City Attack 2
At this time, the scout came in to report that the thief army reinforced the army from the sea. This time, the leader is the marshal of the thief army, named Yao Sheng.
It's Yao Sheng again! Sure enough, it's Yao Sheng again!
"He finally went ashore. Just in time!" I told the scout to go back and continue to listen to the news.
After waiting to leave, I said to Bao Wu and others, "This Yao Sheng is the commander of the offensive sentence and the commander of the thief army. There are quite a few people in Sun En's army who know a little bit of military tactics. Yao Sheng should have sent those who pulled out the water fence and attacked the water city. Let's see how Yao Sheng uses troops on land first. I'll wait and make a plan.
I thought about it and said, "However, I thought I might as well try the tactics of disturbing the enemy first."
"The same tactics? The thief has suffered losses in the sentence, and I'm afraid he won't be fooled again. Bao Bu said. He knew that we were disturbing the enemy in the middle of the night.
I smiled and said, "I don't know. Why don't you give it a try?"
"That's good! What did Liu Sima do in the sentence? I took someone to disturb him at night. Bao Sizhi said with great interest.
Bao looked at his son and only tasted tea without saying anything.
I said to Bao, "This is not a big deal. Don't bother your nephew."
In order to avoid accidents, I gave this task to the death squad. And he repeatedly ordered the captain Kiumen. Yao Sheng suffered a lot from harassment at night, and he may be prevented at this time. Remind them to disturb if they can, retreat if they can't disturb, and don't drown in the war. Kwain and everyone agreed.
At night, 200 death squads went out of the city with gongs and drums.
In the middle of the night, the sound of drums and waves shocked the thief camp overnight. We are also not at ease in Haiyan City and worry about the safety of the death squad.
We didn't feel at ease until the death squad returned to the city early the next morning.
According to the death squad, Yao Sheng was really prepared for the disturbance camp and sent hundreds of soldiers out of the camp to check. When the death squad saw the thief soldiers leaving the camp, the noise dissipated for a while. When the thief soldiers returned to the camp, the death squad roared again and continued to shout. The thief soldiers went out to patrol the camp again and again. Near the early morning, the turtle simply shrank in the camp.
This result is very satisfactory, but not everyone doesn't understand why the thieves dare not go out to pursue.
An officer in Bao's army asked, "There are a large number of thieves. Why do they dare not move while guarding the camp?"
"Haha. In fact, this is caused by the thief soldiers who scared themselves. I explained, "Before, in several battles such as Huiji and Juzhang, our army was fighting east and west. Every time the thief came out to fight, he suffered a great loss. Therefore, we all have scruples about attacking our army. Do you still remember that when our army attacked the old city of Haiyan on the first night, the thief soldiers were extremely hesitant to take over the battle?
"Our army had a slight advantage, and the thief army fled. The thief did not dare to do anything because he did not know whether our army had support or not. I can't distinguish things at night, and I'm afraid of ambush by mistake. Therefore, despite the harassment of our army, the thief soldiers usually dare not leave the camp. Especially this Yao Sheng, who is extremely cautious.
I sighed and said, "It's just that the thief army attacked me with a wheel fight during the day, and I went to harass the thief army at night. The result is nothing more than that both armies are exhausted and unfavorable to anyone.
Bao also echoed, "That's true."
The officer asked again, "Why didn't Yao Sheng attack before Haiyan City was fully built?"
"Yao Sheng will definitely attack, but he arrived yesterday and needed to understand the situation of sea salt and deploy it. Yesterday, you have seen Yao Sheng outside the city for a long time. He may attack the city today and tomorrow. Therefore, the thief soldiers will come at any time in these days. Brother Bao, please take care of everywhere. Those who build the city should build the city, but the defenders should be more careful.
It's easy to have a chance to sleep completely. After the discussion, I went back to bed.
In my dream, I saw amaranth. We sat on a reef by the sea and enjoyed the distant scenery. White clouds are like a piece of white jade embedded in the blue sky. The white seabird flying on the sea level is like a pendant hanging on the white jade, suddenly moving with the wind.
The sun came out of a cloud and brought sunshine wine to both of us. Very was-awa
Suddenly, there was a sound in the sky, and I woke up from my dream.
A personal soldier saw me wake up and hurriedly explained, "I just knocked over the box of porridge."
"Oh." I answered and found that it was already dawn. The sun is penetrating through the open curtain, and the wine is on me. Unexpectedly, I slept three times in the sun.
It feels very comfortable to lie on the couch. I didn't get up right away. I recalled the scene in my dream, and then recalled the scene of saying goodbye to Amaranth in the stream.
I want to leave the stream to go to Haiyan. Naturally, amaranth can't go with me. She said that since I was not in the stream, she was going to wait for my news at Huiji. There lives a relative of M Mother.
Although I left the next day, it was inconvenient for her to see me off in broad daylight. So we still meet in the old place at night. She gave me the handkerchief and left me a reminder. I searched all over my body, but there was nothing to give her.
Amaranth said with a smile, "It's all right. I just hope you are safe. Anything is just a sustenance, and it's best to have you.
"That's true."
"You don't have to worry about me too much. Just now, I was thinking that I would rather go back to Wu County than go to Huiji. After all, it is closer to Haiyan.
"Don't go for the time being. The thief army may really want to go north this time, and Wu County may also be a place of right and wrong at that time. Listen to the news at the meeting first.
"It's good. You must take care this time."
"Don't worry." I put the amaranth in my arms.
On the way back to the house, I only felt that my chest was cold and hot. Hot because of the warmth of amaranth, cold because of the tears of amaranth...
A few days later, the city defense of Haiyan is almost close to the level of a stream village, and the wall is still being strengthened, raised and thickened. This has weakened my worries a lot. After all, the number of people guarding Haiyan is several times that of Xiaoxi Village. Taking defense as attack seems to be ineffective, so more and more tactics are adopted.
Although there were casualties on both sides. But the situation is gradually favorable to us. In addition to the increasing defense, reinforcements and recruits are constantly coming from the west and south. Although the number of people is small, it can also fill in our casualties.
Sea salt is a military stronghold. Whether by land or by sea, Haiyan just landed on the key road from Yongdong to Ludu. Once there is a change in the north, our army will set up a barrier in Haiyan, and the thief soldiers will fall into a dangerous situation. This is also the reason why Sun En stopped his army on the surrounding sea and urged the army to attack Haiyan before continuing to move north.
For our army, the importance here is equal. Once the sea salt is unmant guarded, the thief soldiers will occupy the plain centered on Ludu. There is no city or mausoleum here, and although there is a river, it is not very wide.
Since the establishment of the army, the Beifu Army has repeatedly won more with fewer victories, all of which have cleverly made use of the terrain. Even if you encounter the enemy in the plain, try to lure the enemy to a special area before fighting. Hundreds of miles around Shanghai, there is no available terrain. In this way, even with superb tactics, even if you win, you will consume a lot of troops under the fierce attack of nearly ten times the enemy.
