Chapter 820: Huang Yi Takes the Bait
After listening to Hu Yandu's introduction, Pang Tong asked from the side: "How far is it from Songjiazhen to Xincai?"
"Songjia Town is located in the middle of the two cities, about eighty miles to Xincai and about a hundred miles to Ruyin."
"How is the surrounding situation?" Huangfu Chaobo asked;
"Songjia Town is not big, about the size of a small town, but the Wubao is about five feet tall, and it usually has little contact with the surrounding alien territory. They usually do not allow aliens to enter the territory."
"It is a small town with little contact with outsiders. It is indeed a good place. But will they allow us to hide tens of thousands of troops inside?" Pang Tong nodded and asked again;
Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand and said: "If you don't agree, you will be punished as a thief."
After saying that, he turned to look at Hu Yandu and said: "Tomorrow morning, you will lead the troops. If they don't agree, you know what to do. By the way, let Zhao Ling lead a thousand yuan of crossbow soldiers to go with him. Once under control, we will report back. The army must be arranged as soon as possible. We don’t have so much time to waste.”
"The last general takes command!"
Early the next morning, Hu Yandu and Zhao Ling set out with their troops.
On the 26th, early in the morning, an army of 100,000 troops set off towards Ruyin City in the southeast. Gushi is about a hundred miles away from Ruyin, and it takes two days to reach the foot of Ruyin City along the Quan River.
A hundred thousand troops marched southward in a mighty manner, and soon alerted Li Feng in Ruyin City. Seeing this, Li Feng immediately sent people to Xincai to ask for help. Of course, although the envoy seeking help was escorted by more than twenty cavalry, he was intercepted by the Anton Army. Fortunately, after the guards suffered heavy casualties, there were still two guards who broke through the encirclement with blood stains on their bodies. Heading towards Xincai.
Soon, Huangfu Chaobo knew that Ruyin City had sent an envoy to ask for help. So, 20,000 elite troops were immediately separated from the 100,000 army and headed towards the west of Ruyin. The story to the players was that these two Wan Dajun went to intercept Yuan Shujun's reinforcements.
Players also know that the elites in Huangfu Chaobo's hands cannot be used as cannon fodder at the beginning of the war. Being cannon fodder is still a matter of low-level units in their hands, so they don't care about it.
Just when Huangfu Chaobo's two armies began to advance towards Ruyin, Huang Zhong's 50,000 army had also arrived at Ancheng City and began to prepare to attack Ancheng. The defender of Ancheng was happy. When Huang Zhong's army rushed to the city, he was already ready for defense.
The combined forces of the Andong Army and the Yuzhou Army were divided into three groups. Huang Yi and Le were already aware that Huang Zhong and all the generals under Yuan Shu knew that he was a general who could not even defeat Ji Ling, and Le was very He was self-aware, so he never thought about leaving the city to fight Huang Zhong from the beginning.
You must know that the walls of Ancheng are strong, and there are originally 5,000 defenders inside. In addition, Leliu has brought 10,000 soldiers. Although it cannot be compared with Huang Yizhong's imperial army, it is far better than other cities in Runan. 's defenders. In addition, after Lejiu arrived in Ancheng, he mobilized a large number of grain, grass and weapons from surrounding cities, and accumulated enough supplies for a 20,000-strong army for a year, so he was not afraid of Huang Zhong leading his troops to attack.
However, even so, before Huang Zhong's army besieged the city, he still sent a messenger to Xincai to inform his consort Huang Yi. As for how Huang Yi arranges it, that is beyond his control.
In Xincai City, Huang Yi was meeting with three officers and generals. They were the three magistrates and county lieutenants who escaped from Feiyang City the night before yesterday. After leaving Feiyang, the three of them crossed the river overnight and found a territory close to Yuan Shu. After a short rest, they rushed to Xincai to report the news they heard to Huang Yi. As for the information about Yuan Shu's army that they leaked to Shi A Things were automatically ignored by them.
After listening to the three people's detailed reports, Huang Yi waved them out of the county government office. As for being able to lead an army of 30,000 Yulin troops this time, Huang Yi knew that it was not because of his superior ability, but because he was Yuan Shu's consort, so since receiving the order to lead the army, Huang Yi was determined to He did something that impressed Yuan Shu's ministers of civil and military affairs.
After listening to the reports of the three people, Huang Yi hesitated.
How should I arrange it? It seems that the army attacking Ruyin is at least 100,000 strong.
In this expedition, he led 30,000 imperial troops. However, after arriving in Runan, in order to complete the mission of his father-in-law, under the advice of his staff, he sent some soldiers and horses to various cities in Runan to supervise the army. , Xincai's imperial army only had more than 26,000.
Fortunately, Xincai is a large city in Runan, with a total of 8,000 defenders. If you lead the army to support it, you can leave only 1,000 imperial guards behind and lead 25,000 troops to the expedition.
Huang Yi believed that his army of 25,000 was fully capable of defeating the 50,000 Andong Army without defeat. However, it was two hundred miles from Xincai to Ruyin, and it would have taken at least four days for all of them. Who knew? What will happen to Ruyin when it arrives?
Just as Huang Yi was hesitating, messengers from Ruyin and Ancheng rushed to Xincai one after another. Holding two letters asking for help, a staff member suddenly had an idea and said: "General, with General Li Feng's ability, it shouldn't be that easy for the Anton Army to capture Ruyin, but once General Li restrains the 100,000-strong army, As for Ruyin, Huang Zhong only has 50,000 troops. Now Huang Zhong's army is attacking Ancheng. If Xincai's army cooperates with General Lejiu's garrison inside and outside, they will definitely defeat Huang Zhong's army. "
Huang Yi was overjoyed by the words of his staff. Yes, since your 100,000 troops are attacking Ruyin, they will not be able to capture Ruyin for ten days and a half, but Huang Zhong's 50,000 troops can be eaten by himself. We need to wait until Huang Zhong's army is exhausted, and tens of thousands of his Imperial Guards suddenly attack. Wouldn't it be just in time to annihilate them all under Ancheng City?
Another staff member next to him also said: "Yes, and the general can also send out troops with great fanfare, pretending to support Ruyin, to confuse the Andong Army, and when the time is right, suddenly lead the army to the west, and surround and annihilate Huang Zhong's tribe with General Le. "At the foot of Ancheng City."
"Pa" Huang Yi clapped his hands, stood up and laughed: "Yes, it is indeed a good idea, good, good, good. If we can defeat the Anton Army this time, I will definitely recommend these two gentlemen to His Majesty the Emperor."
When the two staff heard this, they were overjoyed. They both quickly thanked Huang Yi and said, "Thank you, General!"
Now that it had been agreed upon, Huang Yi immediately sent someone to Ancheng to contact Lejiu. The two hit it off and decided to take this opportunity to have a battle with the Andong Army. If they could really defeat or even annihilate Huang Zhong's army, the two would be A person's status in front of Yuan Shu will rise sharply.
