The five thousand men and horses under Yan Zhuo, except for Wang Zhanjin's two hundred Jingkou guards, were all assigned to him by Wang Feihu. Except for the remnants of Zhenhai City, these soldiers were all local warriors and government soldiers from the cities around Lianjiang.
, most of their relatives were in the cities of Yong'an, Shao'an, and Yongxing. Now that they heard the news about the fall of the three cities and the massacre by Japanese pirates, everyone's heart was as sharp as a knife.
Yan Zhuo's eyes turned red when he looked at the soldiers in front of the battle. He hammered his chest and shouted: "Kyushu men, don't cry!"
After hearing this, the soldiers in the formation actually held back their tears, but their throats were still twitching constantly because of the sadness.
"Soldiers and brothers, I know how uncomfortable you are!" Yan Zhuo hammered his chest again, "I feel uncomfortable too. I know that among the people who were slaughtered, there may be your parents, wives and children, who have watched you grow up.
My dear neighbors, there are girls who are looking forward to your return home. But now they are dead, all dead, killed by Japanese bandits, what should we do now?!"
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
"That's right, we have to take revenge. We have to let the Japanese thieves pay with their blood, and we have to use their blood to pay homage to the wronged souls of our relatives and friends!"
"Blood debt must be paid with blood! Blood debt must be paid with blood!" all the soldiers shouted with tears in their eyes.
Yan Zhuo saw that the morale in front of him was good, and it was a good time to be energetic. He waved his hand and shouted: "All armies are ready for war and are ready to attack at any time!"
The five thousand soldiers and horses dispersed, and Yan Zhuo took Wang Zhanjin and entered the tent.
"What do you think? Even Jiangcheng has been surrounded by Japanese bandits on all sides. The situation is not optimistic." Yan Zhuo asked.
Wang Zhanjin spread his hands and wrote only two words "No Way" on his face: "I can't think of any other way except... holding on and waiting for reinforcements."
There are many hills along the southeastern coast of Jiangzuo. This city of Lianjiang is located among the hills. It is where the river flows into the sea. Most transportation relies on water transportation and sea transportation. Now the Japanese pirates have occupied Zhenhai and three surrounding towns, cutting off the
Supplies. Although the city of Lianjiang is strong and the generals are vast, this good man cannot stand up to three people. The city of Lianjiang is also afraid of running out of food, isn't it?
"Is there any way?" Yan Zhuo asked.
Wang Zhanjin walked to the map, pointed at Lianjiang City, and then at the surrounding towns, and said, "Do you know what this looks like? This looks like an urn. We are the turtles in this urn."
As he said this, he stretched his neck and acted like a big bastard.
"What if I want to rush out?" Yan Zhuo asked.
Wang Zhanjin looked at him, stretched his neck again, and said: "You are guarding here in the city, and your head is protected by a shell. If you rush out, the Japanese bandit will chop you into pieces with one knife."
.Yan Zhuo, I am not being alarmist. There are many hills and waterways around the Lianjiang River, and there are many small roads. As soon as you leave the city, the Japanese bandit's surprise troops will cut off your retreat. Attack from both sides, you Yan Zhuo can
Escape, those brothers and I can't escape."
Yan Zhuo listened to what Wang Zhanjin said and knew that what he said was reasonable. He frowned and said, "Can we just wait for the Japanese bandits to surround us now?"
"It's not that there is no way, but the risk is a bit high." Wang Zhanjin said, "The art of war says: Don't face the clouds and the mountains, don't turn back to the hills, don't pretend to be in the north, don't attack the sharp soldiers, don't feed the bait soldiers, and don't contain them when they return to the army.
, the besieging troops must be guarded, and the poor aggressors should not be pursued."
There was a lot of verbosity in his mouth. Yan Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What do you want to say? Just focus on it."
Wang Zhanjin chuckled and said: "The encirclement must be surrounded by troops. When encircling the enemy, a gap must be reserved. This gap must be pretended to be weak, but in fact all troops must be stationed to defend it, in order to lure the snake out of its hole. This is false and true.
The way of mutual life.”
"You guy, you even hung up your book bag. Tell me what do you mean?" Yan Zhuo said impatiently.
"Yan Zhuo, although your martial arts skills are good, you are still a little immature when it comes to marching and formation. If this Japanese bandit knows some military skills, he will definitely leave a gap and let us break out from that direction to ask for help. But if
If they don't understand the art of war and just distribute their troops and horses evenly among the four cities, they will look like a chain of iron armor, but in fact they are leaking everywhere. They have 60,000 to 70,000 horses and horses, divided among the four cities, and each city only has more than 10,000 people.
Moreover, each of these cities is not very close to each other, and it would take an hour or two to travel from one place to another."
Hearing what Wang Zhanjin said, Yan Zhuo also understood and clapped his hands and said: "What do you mean, feint a small attack and disperse and annihilate the enemy?"
Wang Zhanjin smiled, his eyes gleaming: "That's right, we need to hit them with a time lag. We will feint to attack one city, and the Japanese bandits from the other cities will come to rescue, and then we will use an ambush to catch them off guard!"
"Okay, it's up to you. Which city should we attack first?"
Wang Zhanjin said: "Shao'an! The city of Shao'an is wide and the walls are not strong. It is the easiest to attack among these cities. Let's attack Shao'an."
Wang Zhanjin is worthy of being the queen of the generals. This analysis contains the principles of military formations, truth and truth, and a sense of human nature. No one who listens to this can say "General Wang, you are meticulous!"
Yan Zhuo heard Wang Zhanjin's plan and informed Wang Feihu.
Wang Feihu did not stop him, and even ordered the drummers to beat the drums and blow the horns to send Yan Zhuo out of the city to meet the enemy.
Yan Zhuo's five thousand troops left the city and headed straight for Shao'an. The weather was favorable, the location was favorable, and Yan Zhuo captured all three forces. How could this battle be invincible?
The officialdoms in Lianjiang and Shao'an were broad, and the officers and soldiers were eager to kill the enemy. The horses' breaths were like thunder, and they rushed to Shao'an in just an hour.
Shao'an City.
The cherry blossom flag on the gate tower of Shao'an City was fluttering, and the city was in a state of complete chaos with black smoke like pillars rising into the sky. Yan Zhuo gave the order without hesitation, and rain of arrows covered the sky and sun, and crackled directly at Shao'an City Tower.
The Japanese general guarding the city escaped a hail of arrows and saw that there were only a thousand invading enemies. He immediately beat the drum and challenged Yan Zhuo to a duel. Holding a spear in his hand, he rode out of the city, straddled his horse and shouted in front of Yan Zhuo:
"The bold Jiangzuo madman dares to act wild in front of this general, but dares to fight me?"
Yan Zhuo ignored him, grabbed a piece of armor, and shot towards him.
I saw a black light suddenly appear, with a touch of blood, the Japanese general covered his neck and fell to the ground, his legs and feet were twitched, and he was dead.
When the Japanese bandits on the city tower saw this, they were all shocked and hurriedly pulled up the drawbridge to close the city. But on Yanzhuo's side, the soldiers saw that the general had killed an enemy general just after the battle started. Their morale suddenly rose and they shouted in unison.
Crying to kill is exactly the preparation to break the city in one battle.
"Prepare ladders and attack the city!"
As Yan Zhuo shouted, seven groups of soldiers mounted ladders and rushed towards the city wall. The archers behind them could not help but draw their bows and shoot arrows to provide cover for the ladder group.
With the cooperation of the archers, the ladder team set up the ladder on the city wall without encountering much resistance. They climbed up quickly with hands and feet, and climbed up the city wall in just a few blinks.
But when they climbed up the city wall, everyone was dumbfounded.
"General, all the Japanese pirates in this city have fled, there is not a soul left!"
