Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 286 Battle of Shiting (4)

After Ma Chao retreated with the siege troops, he marched for half an hour, but he didn't see an enemy chasing him. When Ma Chao brought the troops back to the camp, the gates of Shiting City were still closed, and the Yellow Turban Army did not Any phenomenon that wants to come out and pursue it.

At this time, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's troops, who had been ambushing in the jungle for a long time, couldn't hold back any longer, and came out of the jungle one after another.Many soldiers stayed in the jungle for too long and inhaled too much miasma, which caused some soldiers to become dizzy and unable to stand still. Fortunately, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao did not wait like this to die, otherwise they might really have Soldiers will be poisoned by this.

Not long after Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's troops appeared, Zhang Chun in Shiting City also got the news.He immediately walked up to the tower with Zhou Yu, pointed at Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's troops in the jungle, and laughed at Zhou Yu, "Thanks to Gong Jin this time, if it wasn't for your obstruction, I would definitely go out of the city to pursue the Yangzhou army. This way, they will definitely fall into an ambush."

"Hehe, general, Yu is just guessing their thoughts based on the enemy's movement. But having said that, although we repelled the Yangzhou soldiers this time and won a small victory. But for Zhao Lei, he didn't What a big loss. He just lost hundreds of soldiers who attacked the city, and the Yangzhou army was not hurt. And the ambush arranged by Zhao Lei was just in vain. So I believe that this After this time, Zhao Lei will definitely lead an army to attack Shiting City in person, instead of just sending a general to attack us like today, and this general is just a baby at first glance." Zhou Yu said.

"Actually, I have also noticed this. This Zhao Lei is really different from ordinary people. He dared to use a child as a general to lead troops to attack the city? This is really unimaginable." Zhang Chun said.

"Everything is possible. Originally, like the general, I had doubts about Zhao Lei's ability to employ people when I saw a child leading troops in battle. But after the siege, I looked at the child differently. First of all, he was attacking the city. The commander at the time of the city was calm and calm. After we burned the ladder, he did not show much panic. More importantly, at such a critical moment, he did not choose to escape first, but effectively organized troops to slow down Retreat slowly. Although at first glance, it may seem that the Yangzhou Army has been defeated, in fact, that phenomenon is just that the child let the troops perform, the purpose is to confuse us, and then the ambush in the jungle should be It was the child who lured our army out of the city and then ambushed us. That is to say, this war looks like the purpose of the Yangzhou army is to attack the city, but in fact it wants to lure us out, and at the same time consume the number of units of soldiers in our city , hit our morale, and finally launched the siege." Zhou Yu said.

Zhou Yu's eloquent talk made Zhang Chun also smile and said: "Gong Jin's analysis is very exciting, but compared to these, Zhao Lei's strategy is nothing. Gong Jin can see through the enemy's strategy and crack it. This is the real truth." It's amazing!"

Faced with Zhang Chun's compliment, Zhou Yu said without changing his expression: "Hehe, the general has to be careful, this time Zhao Lei's plan did not succeed, maybe Zhao Lei will use other methods next time, it is not our army who sent the shoes now. when."

Hearing Zhou Yujiang's happy words, Zhang Chun nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Lei is in charge of the Yangzhou army camp.

"The subordinate is guilty. The unsuccessful general lured into the encirclement of Brother Zilong and Brother Wenyuan, and lost more than 100 soldiers during the siege. Please punish me, my lord."

At this time, Ma Chao bound his hands, knelt in front of Zhao Lei, lowered his head, and looked ashamed.

"Zilong, quickly untie Meng Qi, what does it look like kneeling here?" Zhao Lei said to Zhao Yun, seemingly not hearing Ma Chao's words in front of him.

"No!" Zhao Yun stepped forward, supported Ma Chao, and untied the rope from Ma Chao's body.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. There is nothing to blame. Besides, Meng Qi has done a good job this time, and I am also very good at controlling the fighters. When the enemy set fire, he gave the order to retreat accurately. Our army suffered even greater casualties," Zhao Lei said.

Faced with Zhao Lei's comfort, Xiao Ma Chao also showed a trace of shame, saying: "My lord, I am ashamed."

"Hehe, don't worry about Meng Qi. It's not easy for you to lead an army to fight like this for the first time at such a young age." Zhao Lei laughed.

"Meng Qi, do you know why you failed to lure out the enemy this time?" At this time, Jia Xu asked Ma Chao.

Ma Chao shook his head, and said to Jia Xu: "Please tell me clearly, Meng Qi doesn't know."

"That's because you quickly organized your troops to retreat after the enemy attacked with fire, and you didn't show a trace of panic when you retreated. How could the enemy believe that you were defeated?" Jia Xu asked.

Just as Ma Chao was about to refute, Guo Jia also interjected at this time: "Xiao Meng Qi! I know what you want to say. You must want to say that you will make the troops look like they are retreating. But you should also think about it from a different angle." , if you are an enemy general on the tower, observe the dynamics of the Yangzhou army below. First you see the enemy's orderly retreat, and then you see the enemy's sudden retreat in disorder. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this must be to lure others on purpose Get out of town!"

What Jia Xu and Guo Jia said cheered Ma Chao up, and he said randomly, "Mr. Jia, Mr. Guo is right. Ma Chao has been taught."

Seeing Ma Chao's humility in studying, Guo Jia and Jia Xu also looked at each other with a smile, and gave Ma Chao an appreciative look.

"Zilong, Wenyuan, there is also a problem with your ambush." ​​At this time, Xi Zhicai was unwilling to lag behind Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and said aloud.

"Mr. Xi, what's the problem with Zilong?" Zhang Liao asked strangely.

"Since you are in an ambush, you should hide the murderous aura emanating from you and your troops. In this march and battle, an ambush is to hide. If you can't even do the most basic concealment of murderous aura, what's the point of this ambush? What’s more, since we are ambushing in the woods, we must be more careful and control the murderous intent. I saw all kinds of birds gathering above the woods from a long distance from our camp, but they dared not fall down from the woods for a long time. This is not a show Can you tell the enemy army that there is an ambush in the woods?" Xi Zhicai said.

Listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao also nodded, and said, "Mr. Xi is right, Zilong (Wen Yuan) has been taught."

Listening to his military advisers analyzing the disadvantages of this war one after another, Zhao Lei also said: "Mr. Jia, do you think there are wise men in Shiting City to help Zhang Chun this time, otherwise how could Zhang Chun see through our strategy?"

After hearing Zhao Lei's words, Jia Xu nodded immediately and said, "My lord is wise, and my subordinates agree with my lord's statement very much."

"Wang Yue, send someone to inquire immediately to see if there are any counselors in Shiting City to help Zhang Chun make suggestions." Zhao Lei said.

"No, this subordinate will do it now." After Wang Yue finished speaking, he turned around and left the big tent.

"My lord, apart from these problems, our army still has one problem to solve." After Wang Yue walked out, Jia Xu continued.

"I know what Mr. Jia is talking about, it's miasma!" Zhao Lei said.

Jia Xu nodded.

"Hey! This miasma is indeed extremely harmful to our army." Zhao Lei sighed: "The Yellow Turban Army can rely on the walls of Shiting City to block the miasma, and even if our army is stationed far away from the forest, they can still smoke enough. Miasma. If things go on like this, the morale of the soldiers will plummet." Zhao Lei said.

After saying this, everyone in the big tent fell silent.

"My lord, the miasma here is actually quite thin. If my lord goes deep into the south of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, the miasma there will be hundreds of times thicker than that in Shiting City. If it is not for the local people, I am afraid it will take an hour." , will be poisoned." Gan Ning said at this time.

"Xingba, do you know why those barbarians are safe and sound in this miasma?" Zhao Lei asked Gan Ning.

"This subordinate doesn't know, maybe it's because those barbarians have been ingesting this miasma from birth, and they have developed a habit in their bodies?" Gan Ning said.

Gan Ning's answer also made Zhao Lei frown, is there really no way to deal with this miasma?If this is the case, it seems that Shiting City is going to be settled quickly.As long as Shiting is captured, a small area of ​​miasma can be left.

However, this Shiting City is not so easy to break through, especially if the enemy army also has counselors.Suddenly, Zhao Lei thought of something and a person, maybe they can solve this miasma?

Taiping essentials and tension.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei said to everyone: "Okay, let's stop here today! Everyone have a good rest. As for the method of conquering this stone pavilion, we will think about it tomorrow."

"No!" Everyone said.

After everyone left, Zhao Lei walked to the back tent on foot, pulled out his own Taiping essentials, and walked towards Zhang Ji's tent.
