The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms - Vol 10 Chapter 342

Yuan Tan quickly put on his clothes, went outside the tent, and looked at the place where the sound of chaos was heard.

But I saw a voice coming from the direction of Gao Lan’s camp.

Under the **** of more than a dozen personal soldiers, Yuan Tan rushed to the watchtower and looked at it from the distance. He saw the fire flashing in the Gaolan Camp. At this time, the sky was overcast, and the fire was very conspicuous in the night. As the fire in Gaolan Camp became more and more intense, and the voices became louder and louder, riots gradually appeared in the Chinese army camp under Yuan Tan’s feet.

Yuan Tan followed his father Yuan Shao. He had also experienced some battles over the years and had learned the military law, but because he could not wait for Chunyu Qiong’s order, he hurriedly passed down the military order, ordering the generals and colonels in the Chinese army camp to go their separate ways. Constrain the soldiers of the headquarters to prevent chaos, and at the same time send people to Gaolan Camp to see what happened.

Chunyu Qiong hurried up, saw Yuan Tan, and asked anxiously, “Young Master, what’s going on?”

Yuan Tan already had two guesses and said, “Could it be that Gongsun Zan sent troops to attack at night? Or maybe there was a fire in Gaolan’s camp?”

He thinks the latter is more likely.

Thinking that Gongsun Zan and his subordinates have been trapped in Yijing for so long, as Chunyu Qiong said, morale should have already been low, how could he have the courage to suddenly make a night attack tonight?

So after thinking about it, Yuan Tan still thinks that there might be a fire in Gaolan Camp.

However, the result was beyond his expectations. The officers who went to investigate came back in a hurry and reported to Yuan Tan and Chunyu Qiong: “Young Master, General! It was the thieves in the city who attacked General Gao’s camp at night!”

Chunyu Qiong was shocked and asked, “How is the situation?”

“General Gao was directing the response when the final commander came back.”

…

On Gongsun Zan’s order, he led his troops to find out from Yijing and attacked Gaolan’s camp at night. He was one of the brave generals Gongsun Zan could count. The number of warriors is not much, only five hundred people, but they are all equal to ten.

In fact, attacking the enemy camp at night did not actually require too many troops.

If there are too many soldiers and horses, first of all, even at night, it is not conducive to approaching the enemy camp. Although there is a cover of darkness, it is easy to be discovered by the soldiers guarding the camp. After all, when the soldiers are resting in the camp at night, although there is no The lights, but on the gates and the camp walls, are bright and bright, and can illuminate a long distance.

Secondly, if there are too many troops and horses, then even if they are in the enemy camp, there are tents in the camp and different camps are blocked from each other. Once dispersed, it is not good for the commander.

Therefore, it is better that there are not too many soldiers, and all the warriors are selected and gathered into one group. In this way, after entering the enemy camp, it can play a better effect.

But they attacked the enemy camp at night. In the final analysis, the attacking soldiers did not annihilate all the soldiers of the enemy camp, but mainly caused chaos within the enemy camp, so that they could kill each other; Hit the enemy’s morale hard.

Therefore, five hundred people would be enough.

However, the general who attacked the camp was worthy of the name of the tough general under Gongsun Zan’s tent. After leading these five hundred people to touch the outside of the Gaolan camp, the opportunity to take advantage of the drowsiness of the guards on the Yuanmen and the camp wall was not used much. After a long time, he closed the gate and entered the camp.

The soldiers in the Gaolan camp had all rested, and suddenly they heard the cries of killing. The soldiers were all panicked, at a loss, some were bold, picked up their weapons, and rushed out in a mess, while others stood at the entrance of the tent. , looked out, and some hid in the tent, afraid to go out.

Even if they didn’t dare to go out, the soldiers of Gongsun Zan who attacked Gaolan Camp at night had fire seeds. After they entered the camp, they set fire everywhere. The tent was flammable. Those who dared not go out had to rush out in a hurry. For a time, the enemy in the Gaolan camp could not tell the difference between the enemy and the enemy, shouting to kill everywhere, and the fire was raging.

In Gao Lan’s tent, Gao Lan hadn’t fallen asleep when he suddenly heard the noises from all around him. Came here, briefly reported the situation, and asked him what to do?

Gao Lan understood the situation, but he had the appearance of a famous general. He sat calmly on the seat, motionless, and said: “This is just Gongsun Zan’s dog jumping over the wall! He is surrounded by us in the city, if his main force leaves the city, I won’t be aware of anything in advance, so those who come to my battalion must be only a small group of soldiers, which is nothing to worry about.”

He and Yuan Tan issued the same military order, saying, “Pass the order of our army, order all troops to stay in the headquarters camp, and do not move rashly. If anyone dares to make rash action…” Ordered these generals and his personal soldiers to colonize the camp. , “Bring people with you, kill one when you see one!”

The military order was immediately passed on, and those generals and Gao Lan’s personal soldiers also immediately led their soldiers to suppress the camp separately.

Gao Lan sat firmly in the tent and did not move, and he had stabilized the morale of the army. In addition, he had cut off the heads of dozens of soldiers who ran and screamed, and his soldiers were all trained for a long time. It also stabilized inside.

The hundreds of Gongsun Zan soldiers who broke into the battalion, although they caused a lot of disturbance, still achieved nothing in the end, and in the end they could only return without success.

But why did Gao Lan let the enemy troops who attacked his camp retreat safely?

It wasn’t that Gao Lan didn’t want to chase, but after all, the night was drowsy, and the clouds were dense tonight, and the vision was very poor, so he couldn’t tell whether there were Gongsun Zan’s soldiers in ambush outside the camp, so when the enemy who attacked the camp retreated, he did not accept his subordinates. Request for pursuit.

…

Early the next morning, Gao Lan went to Chunyu Qiong’s camp to meet Yuan Tan.

Not only Gao Lan came, but also the generals of the other camps around Yi County.

Last night, Yuan Tan saw the scene of Gaolan’s camp being attacked by Gongsun Zan’s troops. The soldiers in the surrounding battalions also saw it. To varying degrees, like the Chinese army camp, there was a certain riot, but fortunately, The riots did not expand, nor did they cause unmanageable effects.

Chunyu Qiong asked Gao Lan about the specific situation of the attack on the camp last night, and asked the other generals about the situation in their camp.

After the question, Chunyu Qiong hadn’t spoken yet, but one of the people in the tent stood up and said, “General Chunyu, you said earlier that if we attack Yijing hard, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to Gongsun Zan’s morale. The situation, his troops are not only still stubbornly defending the city, but last night, they sneaked out of the city and attacked General Gao’s camp. How can this mean that the morale of his troops has been low? … General Chunyu, son! In my opinion, continue to attack , is already unacceptable.”

Everyone sees that the one who speaks is the judge.

Although Chunyu Qiong hated Shen Pei coming out to splash cold water at this time, he had to admit that Shen Pei’s words were not wrong.

After defending the city for so long, he still held it tenaciously, and last night he went out of the city to attack Gaolan Camp at night. It can be seen that the morale of Gongsun Zan’s soldiers was indeed not low, and the morale of the army was not yet chaotic.

Chunyu Qiong still did not intend to listen to the suggestions that could be matched.

If you change your mind on this, wouldn’t you lose face?

Chunyu Qiongnai asked the brothers Xin Pi and Xin Ping, and said, “What is Jun Kunzhong’s opinion? In the end, how should our army fight in this city?”

Brothers Xin Pi and Xin Ping looked at each other.

Xin Ping got up and replied: “General, in my humble opinion, what the judge said is quite reasonable. Looking at it now, the morale of the defenders in the city is indeed not low. If you continue to use this method of fierce attack, I am afraid that even if you win in the end, The casualties of our army will also be heavy, so it is better to change course and use the judge’s suggestion for the time being to see if it works or not.”

Chunyu Qiong originally wanted Xin Pi and Xin Ping to give a reason for opposing the trial, but he did not expect Xin Ping to approve the trial in public, and he was immediately displeased, so he looked at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan frowned slightly, and for a while, it was difficult to make a decision.

Chunyu Qiongsui said: “Allow me to think twice! Last night, General Gao’s camp was attacked by thieves, and our army was a little confused. Today, we will take a break from attacking the city for a day. To siege the city, whether to continue the onslaught or use other methods, we will decide when the army will discuss tomorrow.”

Gao Lan and other generals agreed, and seeing that Chunyu Qiong and Yuan Tan had nothing to say, they all said goodbye.

Shen Pei also left Chunyu Qiong’s handsome account.

Chunyu Qiong kept the brothers Xin Pi and Xin Ping behind, and Yuan Tan also stayed behind.

After everyone else got out of the tent, Chunyu Qiong complained to Xin Ping and said, “I just asked you what your opinion was. I wanted to hear you refute Zhen Zhengnan! But why do you support his opinion?”

Xin Ping said: “When the general asked me just now, what did the general mean, how could I not know? It’s just the general, according to the current situation, it is true that if you continue to attack Yijing, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to win. If that’s the case, why not try it out? Judge’s suggestion?”

Chunyu Qiong said: “But if you change course and use the idea of ​​trial and match, then after capturing Yijing in the future, wouldn’t this credit also be his trial match? It’s okay for me to wait, but it’s the son, isn’t it? Come here for nothing? How does this make it!”

Xin Ping said: “General, the son is the supervisor of the army, the general is the chief general, and Zheng Zhengnan is nothing more than a counselor, and in the future, after the capture of Yi County, no matter who’s strategy is used, this is a great contribution. Naturally, it is still the general and the son, and it is only one of the staff’s merits to judge Zhengnan. This is one of them. Since it is difficult to use the method of onslaught to overcome Yijing quickly, the general does not know if he has thought about it, then once Zhang Feiyan’s troops come Now, our army is likely to be unfavorable in the war! This is the second one. In this way, it is just to let the judge Zhengnan take some credit, and the two are related. Compared, which is lighter and which is heavier?”

On the one hand, the suggestion of not adopting the matching, UU reading www. uukanshu.com But this battle may be lost. On the other hand, the idea of ​​trial and match is adopted. If this battle is won, it is just that some of the credit for winning is divided into trial match. Which of the two should I choose?

It was not difficult to choose, Chunyu Qiong and Yuan Tan knew which one to choose, and the two were silent for a while.

Chunyu Qiong asked Yuan Tan, and said, “What does your son mean?

Yuan Tan said: “It’s worth it, Duke Xin’s words are justified, I think it’s better to temporarily switch to the judge’s proposition and try it.”

Chunyu Qiong had no choice but to accept Xin Ping’s advice, and decided to change the tactics of attacking Yixian county town, and adopted the advice of Shen Du, adopting the siege tactics of digging trenches and advancing step by step.

Unwilling in the end, he got up and walked to the map of Yi County and its surrounding areas hanging on the wall of the tent, looked at Yi Jing on it, sighed, and said, “This Gongsun Zan is already about to fail, but he didn’t expect it. It is still difficult to overcome the city.”

Gongsun Zan was in the frontier back then, and he was shocked by the situation. The Hu people were afraid that he would be scared to death. Such a brave and brave tiger general, even when he was about to fail, would be like a dying tiger, and he would still be able to bite. .
