The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can learn and draw lessons from experience. Xu You suffered a lot at the hands of Wang Yu and the Qingzhou generals, and over time, humans became a lot smarter.
His guess was correct. At this moment, the light shining on the sea a few hundred steps away was from the lanterns hanging high on the small sampans that were floating and sinking.
The light of the lights is not very bright. Even if it is close, it can only illuminate a few feet of the surrounding area. If you look far away, you can only see a large area with dots of stars. It can be regarded as the sea version of the empty city plan.
There is only one person on board these small boats, who is responsible for lighting the fire and keeping the lights on. The boats are connected with ropes to form a long string, connected to the sterns of more than ten large boats, and are pulled by the big boats, so
It looks like the action has remained fairly consistent.
The real combat strength, except for the hundreds of people who escaped from the camp and set fire to it, was only the more than 300 people on the big ship. In terms of strength comparison, this was obviously another brilliant victory.
"Brother Ziyi has a good plan. Now he has defeated the traitor Xu to death." Looking at the camp on the coast that had turned into a sea of flames, Wei Yan sincerely praised: "With this battle as the foundation, we are the first to win the Eastern Expedition."
The Hidden Mist Army is none other than this, I’m so proud of myself! Zhen Ting, don’t you feel sorry for the ship now?”
Chen Han's eyes were wide open as he stared blankly at the scene on the shore. He never expected that Taishi Ci's playful plan could be so simple.
"I know that Hu people are stupid, but isn't that thief Xu very resourceful? Although the conspiracies and tricks he came up with have never been able to defeat us, thinking about it afterwards, they are still very insidious and very lethal. Even the Lord
They all say that you have to be fully prepared to have sex with this person, otherwise if you don’t pay attention, you will be taken advantage of. But...now..."
Chen Han stammered and said sincerely that Taishi Ci's plan was not very clever. He watched all the way and found many loopholes that could lead to the failure of the plan. Before today, he still firmly believed that Taishi Ci's plan was not very clever.
It costs a lot to recruit, but the results shouldn't be great. It would be good if you can burn a thousand people.
It wasn't that he didn't want to part with the thousands of grains used as a cover, nor did he care about the so-called gunpowder that was used to get Zuosi out. What he cared about was the ship that gave out false information.
If weapons are the second life of infantry, and horses belong to cavalry, then the ship has the same meaning to him. To lose a good ship for a plan that has little chance of success and will have little effect if it succeeds, no matter how you look at it,
It's something that's worth the loss.
But the problem is that Taishi Ci succeeded, not just an ordinary success, but a complete victory.
It is still not possible to accurately count the results of the battle, but just by visual inspection, Chen Han can also estimate the approximate losses of the Hu soldiers. There should be about 5,000 people trapped in the fire scene. These people are basically dead, and only those who can escape
The number of lucky few is negligible.
Those outside the camp were frightened by Tai Shici's bluff and completely collapsed. Although it was easier for the Hu people to gather the defeated troops than the Han army, it was not so easy to restore the defeated troops to their fighting strength. Even if Tadun could
If you do, the time delay will be huge.
Judging from the entire battle situation, this main force of cavalry was severely damaged. The Wuhuan people's resistance and determination to fight to the end must have begun to waver. After all, these 20,000 cavalry were nearly half of Wuhuan's troops. This army was defeated.
It's so miserable, as long as Tadun's head is not lumpy, he should understand that it is not allowed to take chances.
Such a brilliant victory came from a very random plan. The reason behind it is really puzzling.
"Xu thief's intelligence was mainly used to plot against his own people. This was the case with Wang Fen and Zhou Jing back then, and later with Liu Bei and Cao Bao. Their mistake was that they believed Xu thief's words!"
Taishi Ci smiled contemptuously and explained: "That's what Thief Xu is like. Let him talk about some big principles and analyze the general trend of the world by quoting scriptures. He can speak lucidly, but when it comes to the truth, he can only be blind. He is just such a person.
, but my heart is higher than the sky..."
"If he comes up with bad ideas behind his back, it's really hard for people to guard against him. Who knows which idiot will be fooled by him and suddenly run out to make an eyesore? But if he jumps to the bright side to command the army, he is asking for trouble. If not
Knowing that he was causing trouble behind his back, I might not have set this trap."
"How do you say that?" Chen Han's Shui surname is very good, but his Wu surname is average. Tai Shici's words were actually very clear, but he was still puzzled.
"Think about it, since this thief is arrogant, he must want to make some achievements, at least be better than others. But Wenyuan and Zilong's arrangements, let alone Xu thief, even
If it had been Xu Rong who came to Liaoxi to lead the army, he would have been helpless. Then he knew about this trap. Even if he felt that something was wrong, how could he not come and take a look? After taking a look, he would not be able to leave or leave.
Him?"
Taishi Ci felt very happy.
Credits are secondary, the key is that this victory is of extraordinary significance. In the past, both the lord and his colleagues felt that they could fight with strength alone and would be blinded when encountering complex situations, so they always excluded themselves intentionally or unintentionally.
outside the decision-making level.
But this time, he didn't even move a finger. While talking and laughing, the rapist was wiped out. Just as the article leader said, he ate Xu You to death. Isn't this wisdom and courage? Look.
From now on, who will dare to say that he is brave and foolhardy and is a pure desperate man?
Of course, it is also very important to have achieved this merit. With the foundation of merit, the lord will be embarrassed to continue to keep secrets about his marriage, right?
"Brother Ziyi, why don't we go ashore yet?" Seeing Tai Shici's expression of internal hurt, Wei Yan felt that he should remind him.
"What are you doing ashore?" Taishi Ci asked nonchalantly.
"Pursue and kill, to prevent the barbarians from resurrecting or something." Wei Yan said in a matter-of-fact tone. When Xu You sent out troops, he brought more than 20,000 troops and horses. Now, although four or five thousand have been burned to death and four to five thousand have escaped,
But it stands to reason that there should be a reserve team nearby.
Wei Yan was not too complacent. He felt that with the four to five hundred men on his side, he could defeat ten times more enemy troops. He just wanted to follow up and see if there was any chance of expanding the results. Anyway, the Hidden Mist Army was very good at night fighting and had been specially trained to do so.
, there are many tactics that can be used in night battles. If you are lucky, you might be able to wipe out all the enemies in one go.
"No need," Taishi Ci unexpectedly rejected Wei Yan's proposal, yawned and replied lazily, "Just wait until daybreak and let the brothers clean up the battlefield."
"Really...huh?" Wei Yan was of course puzzled and said suspiciously: "Brother Ziyi, this is not like your style."
"Hey, Chief Wen, this is because you are too careless. Did you read Wen Yuan's reply? Think about it carefully. He asked about our approximate location in the letter. Do you still remember?"
"That's what happened, but what does it have to do with it?" Wei Yan still didn't understand. They were now grain officers, and Zhang Liao, as the general, must know their whereabouts. Otherwise, where would the army go to supply supplies?
"That man Wenyuan is very careful and never does anything unnecessary." Taishi Ci chuckled and said, "If he took the initiative to write a letter and raised this issue, it would be pretty much what you thought, but he did it after we sent him the letter.
I just asked, this plan can be hidden from the thief Xu, but not Wen Yuan, he will definitely make arrangements..."
He spread his hands and said: "So, why are we going ashore? Are we going to attack Zilong? Let's not talk about whether it is moral or not. Even if we really go to grab it, who can beat Zilong?"
"It's so!" Wei Yan suddenly realized, pointed at Tai Shici and shouted: "Brother Ziyi, when did you and Wenyuan get together? You actually have such a tacit understanding? Well, then have you discussed the next step for us?
do what?"
"What's the next step?" Taishi Ci turned to look to the east and said with a meaningful smile, "Of course, I'm doing my duty."
…
The fire burned for several hours, and until dawn, Yan Rou and Su Puyan could still see the thick smoke billowing to the south from more than ten miles away.
Both of them were frightened and embarrassed at the same time.
Yan Rou's pigtails were all gone, leaving only a small cluster on her forehead, swinging there like a pendulum. Half of Su Buyan's face was black, and the other half was red and black.
The red ones are from the smoke, and the red ones are burn scars. If his voice hadn't changed, I'm afraid even my mother wouldn't have recognized him as Mr. Wuhuan from Liaodong.
However, compared with Wu Yan who disappeared without a trace, the two of them were lucky. At least they were still alive. Wu Yan was burned alive right in front of them! Now he is afraid that he has turned into a handful of black ashes.
In addition to Wu Yan, Xu You was also missing.
For Wu Yan and Yan Rou, after all, they still felt a bit sad about the death of a rabbit, but he hated Xu You's disappearance: "I knew that the tuberculosis ghost was not a good thing. He only knew how to stir up troubles and trick others into committing suicide. I will see it myself."
The situation was not good, but they escaped faster than anyone else! I and Lao Qi are enjoying the good things in Youzhou. If they hadn't been deceived by him, who would have bothered to provoke that devil Wang Yu?"
Yan Rou is not a person who has endured hardships and experienced ups and downs. He was able to grow from a Han slave to become a well-known tycoon. His determination is rare in the world. But there has never been a moment when he felt so desperate.
It was like there was a big net in the dark, which tightly enveloped him and his companions, and no matter how hard they struggled, they could not escape.
He regretted it and directed his resentment towards Xu You, believing that the other party had pushed him into a desperate situation.
Su Puyan didn't know the inside story of the Battle of Youzhou. He also felt that Xu You was really annoying. It could be said that he single-handedly pushed Wuhuan into the abyss. He also started to curse. (To be continued.)
