The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 302 Attacking the Enemy Stronghold ([-])

Liao Sheng thought for a while and said: "However, the number of troops in the enemy's stronghold is probably half of our army. If we wait until the enemy's army is defeated before moving, I'm afraid that the enemy's stronghold will be destroyed before the enemy's stronghold is captured." is back."

Meng Xi didn't think about this beforehand, but after thinking for a while, he said, "The general thinks that in order to speed up the seizure of the village, our army can send most of the cavalry to carry out a surprise attack. However, at that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to demand that the enemy be completely wiped out." , but to choose to let go of some of the enemy. Then, the remaining [-] infantry will set up a formation in front, facing a group of scattered and hopeless enemy troops. Not only can they win the battle, but they may also directly recruit the enemy There are a lot of people."

Liao Sheng felt that Meng Xi's arrangement was very clever, so he asked Xiong Ping, "I think Lieutenant Meng's method is feasible, but I don't know what General Xiong thinks?"

Liao Sheng is good, he didn't insist on going his own way just because he has the highest official position.Xiong Ping must be good at charging and fighting, but when it comes to military strategy, he might not be as good as Meng Xi in a hundred.Therefore, Liu Chan took into account the characteristics between these two people, and sent them together when he acted.

Naturally, Xiong Ping didn't have any objections, he just said: "The general has no objections here. I just ask the general to entrust the task of raiding the enemy's stronghold to the general?"

Liao Sheng smiled and said: "Of course it's possible, you can lead our army's [-] cavalry. However, this is the task of opening the gate of the enemy's stronghold first..."

When Liao Sheng said this, he looked at Meng Xi.Meng Xi understood, cupped his hands and said: "The general is willing to take this mission now, so I ask General Liao to allocate [-] cavalry to my subordinates. Because once the enemy army is defeated, the cavalry and not the infantry must be the first to flee back."

Liao Sheng laughed when he heard this, and Meng Xi was not usually thoughtful, and said: "Okay, then I will trouble the two generals."

Liao Sheng began to send orders to the army to stop advancing and rest in place first.Then, he sent out all the scouts.All of a sudden, from Anzhong City to the rear of the battlefield in front of Liu Chan's barracks, Liao Sheng's scouts were secretly operating everywhere.

About half an hour later, Liao Sheng received a report from the scouts saying that the troops of Guan Suo's three wives had been killed, and the enemy army began to show signs of defeat.

The three generals of Liao Sheng were overjoyed. Their army was already ready to go to war at any time.Liao Sheng said to Meng Xi: "Lieutenant Meng, we should be ready to act now, right?"

Meng Xi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, the last general will set off first!"

At this time, Meng Xi had already taken off the silver and white armor he had worn on his body, and changed into a livery of Cao Wei cavalry.He also painted some dirt and red paint on his face, very much like a school boy who just retreated from the battlefield.

Liao Sheng nodded and said: "Then I will wish Captain Meng every success. As long as you can occupy the gate of the enemy's stronghold, General Xiong Ping's troops will be able to rush into the enemy's stronghold."

Meng Xi cupped his hands again, turned over and stepped on his horse, and shouted to the [-] Jingzhou troops who had been neatly lined up on the side, with a dilapidated face and body, and dressed in cavalry uniforms of Cao Wei: "Everyone! The time to make contributions has come, follow me!"

Meng Xi set off at the head of the horse, and walked slowly along a small road for less than two miles, and then came to a main road.This road is the main road leading directly to the Fortress of Anzhong, which is only four miles away from the camp of Lu Jian's army.

At this time, suddenly a scout rushed forward to report to Meng Xi that just now, a group of more than a dozen defeated enemy troops had passed.However, judging from their armor, they might be the bodyguards of a certain general.

Meng Xi's heart moved, the real enemy's defeated army had appeared, it seemed that he had to act faster.However, this also has unexpected benefits-after the real enemy's defeated army has appeared, they will never be suspicious if they pretend to go in again. It is really a great convenience for themselves to stop confessing!

Aside from being overjoyed, Meng Xi didn't ask the scout again if there were any enemy generals among those guards, and what he looked like.How did he know that the dozen or so people were actually protecting Zhao Yan and Zhao Boran, who was the first to sneak away!
If Meng Xi could hear the news, he would definitely send someone to report to Liao Sheng, and then he would surround all the people in the enemy's village if he said anything, and wait until Zhao Yan, a high-ranking official, was caught!It's a pity that Meng Xi just missed an opportunity to make great achievements immediately.

After Meng Xi sent the scout to report the information to Liao Sheng again, he sent an order to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone, spread out and let your horses run. Remember to spread out, so that you look like you are running away with your clothes in ruins. In order not to be seen through by the enemy."

So, in silence, all four hundred horsemen and horses dispersed, and ran towards the enemy's stronghold in a very scattered formation, raising a billow of smoke and dust.If someone looked at it from the side, in their state, the whole is a fleeing army.

Meng Xi had just set off, and more human figures appeared on the path behind them, stretching for an extremely long distance.The livery on their bodies was the same color, like a long snake lingering on the mountain road, the tail could not be seen at all.

They were a general at first, dressed in black armor, holding a shiny broadsword, their stature looked very burly, it turned out to be Xiong Ping.It seemed that Xiong Ping had followed up with nearly four thousand cavalry, and his actions were very fast.

With a wave of his right hand, Xiong Ping sent an order: "Everyone, follow me and catch up!" A cavalry troop of 600 people walked onto the road and began to rush towards the enemy's stronghold in a leisurely manner.

Not a moment later, Mengxi's cavalry appeared in front of the gate of the enemy's village.The officials guarding the gate of the village were very cautious and closed the gate of the village tightly.The Cao Wei soldiers behind the tower and the gate of the village were all on alert nervously.

Seeing this, Meng Xi secretly lamented that Lu Jianzhi's soldiers did have their own way, and it might not be so easy to occupy the Dazhai Gate today.He put on a pretense and gradually collected the scattered soldiers behind him, as if that was the case.

Then, Meng Xi shouted loudly: "Open the door quickly, General Lu's army is about to retreat, why do you still close the door?"

The captain guarding the gate had already known from Zhao Yan that Lu Jian had been defeated.When he saw Meng Xi at this moment, he could still think of reining in the scattered army, and he immediately had a good impression of him.

The school lieutenant then asked: "Hurry up and report your identity, and I will open the door for you!"

Meng Xi rolled his eyes, afraid that the identity he casually reported would be discovered by the other party, and that would be really bad.He turned his head and looked behind him, and found that there were huge clouds of smoke and dust, and there should be a large army coming.Then, Xiong Ping's army must have rushed over.
