Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

Jiang Yuan actually used a chain trick.

At first, Zhang Dahai was ordered to harass the enemy camp, and the Qi army would not be able to sleep peacefully, so the Qi army must send a small group of faster horse troops to fight.Zhang Dahai and Chen Youwei had a total of [-] horsemen, and the small group of horsemen came here just to give snacks.

Then, he hung the head of the general of the Qi army on the city gate, and wrote the banner that could piss people off. People persuaded him, Han Kang, the only country minister who could persuade him and dared to persuade him, was fainted by Jiang Yuan and is still lying on the sick bed, so King Qi must use his cavalry to take a good breath.

Jiang Yuan has already found out who the generals under the King of Qi are, but he is just a guy who thinks he is smart. Well, let me make you smarter and let you know what it means to be smart but to be misunderstood by smartness. .Jiang Yuan ordered Zhang Dahai to lead 1000 men to harass the enemy first, draw all the Qi army's horse troops, and then send the last 1000 men to pretend to be an ambush army to trick the general into taking the bait.Two thousand horses, such a big bait, how can the general not be hooked?You have to bite the bait honestly and not let go.

In the dark night, it was difficult to see the situation clearly, and the horse army was no better than the infantry army, and it was not easy to carry torches with them. Jiang Yuan expected that he would not be able to see the mystery inside.The army of two thousand horses rushed directly to the gravel beach, and the Qi army behind could not see the road clearly and would not check it.They don't know the difference between the horseshoes, so they will definitely chase after them swaggeringly. When the horse is injured, Zhang Dahai turns around to meet him. Jiang Yuan has arranged for Chen Youwei to come out and encircle him. completely annihilated.

The plot seems complicated, but it's just because Jiang Yuan knew the character of Qi Wang Situ Heng and his horse general through the convenience of King Rui Situ Sheng and he had been in the Imperial Academy. Just kidding, the young master turned over those The pile of old papers from the sky is not for nothing!Now it will pay off.

"Bastard!" In King Qi's camp, Situ Heng kicked the sergeant who reported the news viciously.The generals next to him all lowered their eyebrows and did not want to raise their heads, not daring to touch King Qi's bad luck at this time.

The head of General Ma Jun is now hanging on the east gate of Dongwu City. This time, a couplet has been changed: "Rats are called old regardless of size, and turtles are always named Wu if they are male or female." This couplet is puzzling to most people The meaning inside, but many people in Qi Jun know what is going on.King Situ Heng of Qi is the oldest prince in his generation. This year he is sixty-five years old. The vassal king should have an audience every year to pay homage, but this King Qi has hidden traitors in his heart and he doesn't know how to hide it. He sent his son there, claiming to be too old to go forward, and often relying on the old to sell the old.And the reason why the general of the horse army was able to command the army was not because he was the best, but because he dedicated his cousin to King Qi as a concubine, and thus got the position of general. Pregnant and gave birth to a son to King Qi, his position as a general can be secured.But some people spread gossip, saying that the cousin had an affair with the general a long time ago, this son is not the king of Qi's but the concubine of the general, the king of Qi has been wearing a cuckold for a long time, isn't it a turtle if he wears a cuckold? ...

As soon as this couplet came out, Situ Heng was about to explode in anger, so he wanted to order Qi Bingma and Jiang Yuan to fight it out!Fortunately, at this time, the old Prime Minister finally got up from the hospital bed and hurriedly persuaded King Qi to stop.

"My lord, the overall situation is the most important thing." Han Kangbai finally persuaded Situ Heng back after prostrated himself on the ground. "The old man has his own plan to break the Tobu City, and help my master vent his hatred."

King Qi hurriedly asked Ji Jiangan whether he would come out?

Han Kang replied: "Before Jiang Yuan entered Dongwu City, my ministers sent spies to sneak into the city disguised as merchants, and asked them to make friends with wealthy families in the city. If necessary, they should cooperate with each other to open the city gate." He took out a letter from his pocket and tied it , "Now there is an aristocratic Liu family who is willing to surrender and is willing to help my lord obtain this city."

King Qi took the letter and read it. It said that the Liu clan in the city had been dissatisfied with the present puppet emperor for a long time. A few days ago, Jiang Yuan borrowed his family's grain and grass in the city, which caused dissatisfaction among the clan, so they agreed to four watches tonight. At that time, the fire was raised as a sign, and his family opened the south gate to let the Qi army enter the city.

"Is it possible to believe this letter?" King Qi frowned. He was beaten by Jiang Yuan, and some grass and trees were all soldiers.

"Here are the letters from the subordinates in the city." Han Kang sent another letter.

In the letter, it is stated that the reason why the Liu family was dissatisfied with the emperor was that the emperor oppressed the family and only promoted poor men, which led to the decline of the family and lost its original glory. The purpose of welcoming the king of Qi in Kaicheng is to exchange for the support of the king of Qi and let the family become officials. Children can be rewarded.That night, in the name of Lao Jun, Liu's family would overwhelm the soldiers guarding the gate with broth that had been added with medicine, tricking them into opening the city gate and letting the Qi army enter.

Han Kang said: "The monogram on this letter is absolutely true, so Mrs. Liu must be credible."

Situ Heng was excited and overjoyed when he heard this. "Okay, let's suspend the siege today, make food at the first shift, send troops at the third shift, and then the whole army will enter the city and kill that Jiangyuan boy!"

At the third watch, the Qi army had already made preparations, and sure enough, there were torches shaking above the south gate. It seemed that the Liu family had succeeded!

Not long after, the south city gate slowly opened, but only halfway opened, only the left one opened inwards, but the right one did not move. A young general of the Qi army hurriedly went to see what happened at the gate of the city.I saw a young man dressed as a servant standing by the city gate, pointing to a huge stone behind the closed city gate on the right side and said: "Then Jiangyuan ordered people to block the city gate and blocked the city gate with huge stones. I took a lot of trouble before I moved it a little to open half of the city gate, and the remaining gate couldn’t be pushed open, but fortunately soldiers and horses can enter.” The young general saw that the big stone weighed more than a thousand catties. It looked like there were still a few wooden stakes lying down next to it, and it was really difficult to move as the servant said, so he hurriedly patted his horse and went back to report.

After hearing the reason, King Qi didn't notice anything wrong, and immediately sent soldiers and horses into the south gate.He was also afraid that it was a trick, and he was ambushed, so he didn't go into the city with the army, but first sent a thousand people through the outer city and into the inner city to check the reality.After the 1000 people entered the inner city intact and no ambush was detected, he sent a large army into the city quickly.

Tobu City is an important town, the city is not small, there are not only the inner city but also the outer city, and some residents live between the inner city and the inner city, but at this time the war has broken out, and these residents have moved into the inner city.Their original houses were demolished and used as ammunition for trebuchets, leaving only fragments of walls and straw and dead branches all over the ground.

Since the south gate is half blocked, time is not enough for the army to enter the city quickly, so the Qi army decided to divide the troops into two groups, half enter the city from the south gate, and this one needs to divide a group of troops to quickly go to the west gate to destroy the enemy and open the gate. , and the other half rushed to the west city gate to wait to enter the city.The Qi army camped at the east gate. These days, they attacked the east gate, south gate and north gate, and did not do much to the west gate. Therefore, Han Kang expected that the west gate must be lax in defense, and he would be able to quickly seize the gate.King Qi naturally has no reason to disapprove, he is determined to decide Tobu City in a battle tonight!

Because of this arrangement, the Qi army who had just entered the city did not immediately enter the inner city, but strode towards the west gate to seize the gate.At this time, the Qi army had entered the outer city with 5000 troops, and a sudden change happened!The group of servants of the Liu family at the south gate suddenly drew their swords and began to slay the Qi army at the gate. Among them, the young man who had just answered was even more brave. three people.An infantry general of the Qi army was going to rush up to stop him, but when he saw that he was slashing, he just raised his knife to block it, but the opponent seemed to have infinite strength, this knife directly broke his tiger's mouth, and the steel knife in his hand When he landed, the opponent's blade had cut him in half.

Half of the city gate was really narrow, that man was the gatekeeper and could not open it, and several people around him were beheaded again and again, even killing all the Qi soldiers in the gate.The young man grabbed the city gate with one hand, and pushed the city gate up with his own strength.The Qi army outside the city also exerted their strength to push the city gate, but the opening was narrow, and only a dozen people could push at the same time. The dozens of people were outside the gate, and the young men were inside the gate.But that young man's strength was astonishing, these dozens of people were no match for him, and he was able to close the city gate.The man first inserted the three iron bolts on the back of the city gate, and fearing that the Qi army would hit the door, he took a wooden stake on the ground and placed it under the boulder and violently moved it. The huge boulder weighing a thousand catties immediately fell to the ground. Come over and block the door behind the door.

The Qi army in the city was about to turn around and fight, but the Jing army was standing on the city wall at some point, and the rain of arrows forced them to dare not go to the south gate.

After closing the city gate, the young man led people close to the city wall. Several ropes were dropped from the city immediately, and several people grabbed the ropes and climbed up the city.The people below were crawling, and the people above were pulling, and they approached the top of the city in an instant. At this time, even if the Qi army tried to shoot arrows, they couldn't stop it.The young man went up to the city wall and wiped his face, and under the light of the fire, he could see his face clearly, it wasn't Jiang Yuan!

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Now the gate of the south city is closed, and the gate of the inner city is also closed. The Qi army in the city is like a turtle in a urn, and has no power to resist anymore. Send me an order to wipe out all the enemies!"

Di Fei immediately took the order, and the soldiers who sent the order started to run on the tower, and all the Jing soldiers heard Jiang Yuan's order.

I saw countless rockets falling from the sky, and those straws on the ground that were thought to be just left over from the demolition of houses were immediately ignited.It was left unintentionally, and it was clearly mixed with fire starters such as saltpeter and sulfur, which were specially used to burn the Qi army.At this time, the houses were mostly built of wood, which was the most flammable, and the broken columns and beams on the ground were the best fuel. A spark ignited immediately and the Qi army was on fire. place to hide.

The Qi army in the city fled towards Huo Shao's inner city under the leadership of the generals, but saw that the inner city wall was already full of Jing troops.Pang Liang stood on the tower of the inner city and shouted down: "The surrender will not be killed!" The soldiers around him had just followed him to wipe out a thousand Qi troops in the inner city. The power of deterrence was even more astonishing at the time of "The descendants will not be killed", which made the Qi army below unable to resist the idea.

With the surrender of these remnants, Pang Liang's army and horses also joined the guards of the outer city.Outside the city, the king of Qi was furious and wanted to die, and ordered his subordinates to rush to attack the city, but he didn't know that his grandson once said: "The Lord must not be angry with the teacher, and the general must not be angry and fight. Move when it is beneficial, and stop when it is not." The most important thing is that the monarch should not start a war because of a momentary anger, and the general should not fight the enemy because of a momentary anger. Only when there is a benefit can he go out, and if there is no benefit, he will stop.Because you can still be happy after being angry, but you cannot come back to life after death, and it is even more difficult to recover after the country is destroyed.It is the biggest taboo for generals to be angry, and King Qi was completely pissed off, which led to even greater failure.

You must know that the Qi army intends to deceive the city gates to seize the city this night, so naturally they will not carry any siege equipment, so there is no ladder, no building vehicles, and no trebuchets, what do you use to attack the tightly guarded city? Tobu City?What else could the Qi army do, so they had to attack the city gate with all their strength, intending to break open the city gate and enter the city.But the city gate is only so big, and there is a huge iron gate blocking it behind, how can it be attacked in a hurry?Overnight, the Qi army suffered countless casualties, but they had nothing to do with Tobu City.

After dawn, Situ Heng's fiery brain was finally awakened by the corpses of his soldiers, and he took the siege equipment from the barracks and continued to attack the south gate.The battle lasted all day, and did not finally stop until the sun went down.The Qi army had killed the city wall twice, but they were finally killed and retreated under the leadership of Jiang Yuan, so they had to leave a pile of corpses and return to the tent temporarily.

After this battle, more than 3000 people were annihilated and captured in the city, and more than [-] people were annihilated outside the city. In addition to the [-] horse troops who were wiped out and the Qi army killed on the battlefield a few days ago, the total The result of the battle reached more than [-] people, and the number of the Qi army was halved. As a last resort, they had to retreat to the barracks and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive.

So far, no one in the army dissatisfied with Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan completely controlled this army for Prince Rui!
