Leng Bao followed Zhang Ren's order and led 5,000 men back to Chengdu. However, when passing by Zitong, he suddenly had a sudden thought.
According to Zhang Ren, after the enemy captured Fucheng, they were already at the end of their war effort.
If that's the case, why do you need to bring so many people back to Chengdu? You must know that Mianzhu has not yet fallen, and judging from the current situation, there is no possibility of falling. Chengdu is not in crisis, and it can even be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
I brought so many people into Chengdu, just to wait in the city. After that, I basically lost the opportunity to obtain military exploits. I could only watch the soldiers on the front line fight and perform meritorious service.
In that case, wouldn't his opportunity for promotion be missed in vain? Leng Bao would not think that he just brought 5,000 soldiers into Chengdu City, and Liu Zhang would give himself a share of credit for this and improve his position.
.
Although Leng Bao is not a greedy person who is eager for quick success, he still wants fame.
After some thought, Leng Bao ordered his general Pi to lead 2,000 people into Chengdu, while he took the remaining 3,000 people by detour from Zitong to the north of Fucheng to set up camp, in order to attack Li Yan from front to back and eliminate them in one fell swoop.
Cao's army sneak attack.
In this way, he can also share the merits of the battle.
——————————————————————————————Gao Shun in Fucheng is really in trouble at this time.
Although Mianzhu was right in front of him, Gao Shun didn't have the courage to attack. It's not that Gao Shun was timid and afraid of fighting, but judging from the current situation, there was really no possibility of conquering Mianzhu.
Just when Gao Shun was at a loss what to do, a scout suddenly came to report that a Yizhou army suddenly appeared ten miles north of Fucheng and had set up camp.
When Gao Shun heard the report, he was shocked. The Yizhou army appeared in the north of Fucheng. Where did that army come from?
But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Gao Shun also suddenly understood. The army that appeared in the north of Fucheng must have been sent from Jiange. He had to go through all kinds of hardships to sneak through the dangerous places of Yinping Road in order to bypass Jiange.
Pointing directly at Chengdu, but for the Yizhou soldiers who were originally in the Jiange, it couldn't be easier to return to support Chengdu. They only need to open the door on the south and walk back.
The army that suddenly appeared must be the reinforcements Liu Zhang transferred back from Jiange.
Do you want to double-team yourself? Gao Shun sneered.
Indeed, siege warfare is indeed very difficult for today's enemy camp. More than a thousand people gathered in Mianzhu City. Even if he commanded a world-famous elite enemy army, he was helpless in front of Mianzhu City. After all, he
There are not many people here anymore.
However, if it is compared to a field battle, Gao Shun can guarantee that no army in the world can defeat the soldiers trapped in the camp with similar numbers!
Since that Yizhou army dares to be stationed outside Fucheng, then just destroy it yourself!
According to the reports from the scouts, the number of reinforcements was about three thousand, with a maximum of no more than four thousand.
Gao Shun has a pretty good idea of the general combat strength of the Yizhou Army after several battles. Compared with the army in the Central Plains, it is somewhat inferior. Gao Shun is confident that he can lead the trapped camp and defeat the enemy forces outside the city in one fell swoop.
destruction.
Although the soldiers trapped in the camp are elite and know how to keep their fighting spirit at a high level, continuous avoidance of battle will inevitably cause their morale to decline.
At this time, a victory is undoubtedly the best way to boost morale.
What's more, apart from the factor of morale, there is not much food left in the city.
Since the enemy troops are stationed outside the city, they must have a certain amount of food and grass. Regardless of the amount, it can at least meet their immediate needs.
The plan was decided and Gao took the initiative to put it into action.
Gao Shun did not plan to launch the operation during the day, but prepared to conduct a night attack.
Although the trapped camp has outstanding combat power, if the number is small, it will only lead to death, so this time Gao Shun decided to take all the soldiers in the city out of the city, leaving no one behind.
This kind of risk is undoubtedly extremely high. If other enemy forces find out and want to take advantage of the situation to recapture Fucheng, then the siege battle will be avoided. Gao Shunke will really not have a foothold by then.
.
Therefore, Gao Shun decided to launch an attack at night, so that under the cover of darkness it would not be easy for people to notice the troops leaving the city. Secondly, if the enemy's defenses were not very tight, it would have the effect of attacking the enemy unprepared.
More than 1,400 soldiers trapped in the camp, led by Gao Shun, quietly attacked the Yizhou Army's garrison.
Although the Yizhou Army was well-defended, overall its defense was lax. After Leng Bao was stationed in the camp, he also inquired about the situation of Cao's army in Fucheng. There were only more than a thousand people. I guess Leng Bao would not have expected that Cao's army could rely on this alone.
Some troops dared to attack themselves.
Gao Shun did not encounter many obstacles or difficulties in his trap. It can even be said that this night attack was very smooth and almost perfect!
Under the surprise attack from the trapped camp, the Yizhou Army camp suddenly fell into endless panic. Leng Bao was awakened from his sleep and shouted for the soldiers to gather to fight, but it had almost no effect.
Repeated shouting had no effect. Leng Bao knew that the situation was not good, and a look of fear appeared on his face. Just when he wanted to leave the army and find a horse to escape, a spear mercilessly pierced his chest.
Leng Bao died, and almost all the three thousand soldiers he brought with him were slaughtered, and less than two hundred people escaped.
However, the trapped camp only suffered dozens of casualties.
What Gao Shun feared the most was that the Yizhou Army would burn all the food and grass when the situation was bad and would not keep it for himself. But obviously, these Yizhou Army soldiers did not think of this, so Gao Shunsui had people take the food and grass from the camp with them.
Return to Fucheng.
The Yizhou army on the other side of Mianzhu did not notice any changes in Cao's army, and Fucheng was safe and sound.
The results of this battle were considered very good. Almost all the enemy troops of 3,000 men were wiped out, which greatly improved our own morale. We also obtained enough food and grass to sustain the trapped camp for more than 40 days.
Although the predicament is still not out of the way, after all, if Mianzhu City is not destroyed, there is no possibility of the situation being reversed. But compared to the previous few days, the situation is finally a bit better. At least there are forty more days to allow oneself to find a way.
