342. Chapter 342 The beauty of pepper
This news made Wang Shaoyi feel much better. He knew that this was a good opportunity to turn defeat into victory and avenge his previous shame. In Wang Shaoyi's view, the reason why Chen Hao only had 5,000 troops must be the troops of Shenzhou and Zhaozhou.
If they didn't meet up in time, otherwise the majestic marshal of the army wouldn't be hiding in the woods.
"No matter how hidden you are, the smoke will expose you! After all, you are still a scholar..."
Under the afterglow of the evening, Wang Shaoyi stared at the smoke gradually dissipating in the distance, and finally stroked his beard and smiled mischievously. In his eyes, although Chen Hao defeated him in Jizhou, Wang Shaoyi was very dissatisfied. Now he saw that Chen Hao was against him.
The main point of the march was completely unclear, so how could he not show contempt. Then Wang Shaoyi issued a military order, ordering all the soldiers to have a good meal, and when night fell, they took advantage of the darkness to surround the woods in the distance. This time Wang Shaoyi wanted to catch turtles in an urn.
It had just turned dark and Tan Ma had already returned to report. He learned that Chen Hao's two supporting troops would have to arrive at Zhenzhou City tomorrow. At this moment, Wang Shaoyi finally had no worries, so he ordered 20,000 troops and horses to quietly go out.
This time he could send his deputy general to lead the troops there, but Wang Shaoyi still led the troops in person because he wanted to capture Chen Hao himself. Then Wang Shaoyi gave an order, and the army quickly surrounded the woods from all sides. Looking at Lin
A few wisps of firelight illuminated the military tent. Wang Shaoyi sat in the distance and took advantage of the moonlight, vaguely watching the enemy soldiers stationed at the sentry post. Seeing this scene, Wang Shaoyi couldn't help but secretly shouted: "Chen Hao, your death has come!
"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Shaoyi ordered the army to carry out a pocket-style encirclement and suppression in the forest. But what puzzled Wang Shaoyi was that everything went too smoothly. There was almost no reaction from the enemy during the entire encirclement process, which made Wang Shaoyi confused.
A trace of doubt arose in my heart.
Just when Wang Shaoyi's doubts were still uncertain, the deputy general came back from the front and hurriedly reported: "The general is in trouble, there is no trace of the enemy in the front!"
"What? Damn it! That fire... that's terrible! Escape!" Wang Shaoyi couldn't help being furious when he heard this. Then he suddenly realized that he didn't have time to check the enemy's camp, so he ordered the soldiers to evacuate the woods quickly.
But everything was already too late. When Wang Shaoyi led his troops to retreat, war drums were roaring all around the woods. Then smoke spread, causing Wang Shaoyi's soldiers and horses to choke on the smoke. For a moment, the entire army lost its direction in the woods.
At this moment, there were shouts of killing all around, the north wind blew through the trees and shook them, and the smoke filled the air. Wang Shaoyi's army was suddenly in chaos. At this moment, even Wang Shaoyi didn't know how many ambushes Chen Hao had set up. At this moment, Wang Shaoyi's army
The 20,000-strong army, struggling to breathe and with burning eyes in the woods, had begun to collapse.
Outside the woods, Chen Hao was riding a black horse, staring at the woods in front of him, with a smile on his lips. Zi Yuan beside him looked at the woods filled with smoke, and also smiled sweetly: "My husband's move is indeed true."
Gao Ming, I think Wang Shaoyi is already dizzy in the forest at this moment!"
"Haha! The art of war is deceitful. Reality should be used with imaginary things, and imaginary things should be realized. Combining virtuality with reality is the way to use military force. There was a turbulent battle in Feishui in ancient times. Tonight is just a small test for my husband!"
Chen Hao nodded and smiled noncommittally. The smoke emitted from the cooking pots during the day was actually caused by him on purpose, just to let Wang Shaoyi see him. Wang Shaoyi was a grumpy and narrow-minded person. The last time he used the Fire Ox Formation in Jizhou, he made it so that Wang Shaoyi could see him.
After being defeated and fleeing, Wang Shaoyi must have been depressed and unable to get rid of this cowardly attitude. Now that he saw him leading a mere 5,000 troops, how could Wang Shaoyi miss this great opportunity to reverse the defeat.
It is Wang Shaoyi's courageous character that Chen Hao took advantage of this time. The troops he led this time were indeed only five thousand, and Pugu Jun and Gao Pian would not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest.
Zhenzhou City. However, Chen Hao was not worried at all about this disparity in military strength because he had already made preparations to deal with it.
In the evening, Chen Hao's 5,000 men and horses were indeed setting pots and cooking in the woods, but as soon as night fell, these 5,000 men and horses secretly evacuated the woods. And the military tents, firelight, and soldiers that Wang Shaoyi saw... were just...
The confusion left by Chen Hao. The so-called soldiers are just straw men wearing armor, just to make Wang Shaoyi believe in his own judgment. In this way, Wang Shaoyi will spare no effort to rush into the woods. By then, Chen Hao will
The second plan was carried out smoothly.
When Wang Shaoyi's army all entered the woods, Chen Hao ordered the troops to light the firewood that had been prepared on the north side of the woods. The north wind howled in winter, and the thick smoke naturally blew into the woods. Once Chen Hao
Hao also considered burning this forest, but the forest was too sparse, and even a fire attack might not be effective. Moreover, this method was too cruel, so he rejected this idea in the end.
In order to make Wang Shaoyi's 20,000 troops suffer from the smoke, Chen Hao added something to the firewood, which was a common must-have item in the kitchen, Sichuan peppercorns. The thick smoke released by this Sichuan peppercorns when put into the firewood, but
It has super destructive power, which can cause difficulty in breathing or burning eyes in severe cases. In addition, the swaying shadows of the trees and the roar of war drums are as powerful as thousands of troops. This will make the 20,000 troops in the forest collapse without a fight.
.
In the woods, Wang Shaoyi didn't know how to break out, because he was surrounded by enemy troops who didn't know what was real. Seeing the soldiers behind him suffering from the smoke, Wang Shaoyi felt regretful at this moment. He knew that he should be set on fire.
In this forest, even if Chen Hao cannot be burned to death, he will not fall into Chen Hao's trap.
"Report!" At this time, a soldier knelt on one knee and bowed and came closer.
Wang Shaoyi hurriedly got off the horse, and then asked anxiously: "How was the inquiring?"
"Reporting to the general, our army's breakout was blocked from all sides, but the counterattack from the north was particularly strong in comparison!"
"Oh? North!" Wang Shaoyi frowned and began to think. After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly: "Generals, listen to your orders. Our army is divided into four groups. You will attack from the east, west and south first! Then I will attack from the east, west and south.
The general led five thousand troops to break out from the north!"
"General, I obey!" After receiving the order, the three lieutenants each led five thousand soldiers and horses to break out.
After the three people left, Wang Shaoyi snorted and said to himself: "The counterattack in the north is the strongest, and it must also be the weakest point!" Then he mounted his horse and led five thousand soldiers and horses towards the north.
Outside the woods, Ziyuan looked at the woods in the distance, and then asked herself: "Which direction do you think Wang Shaoyi will break out of from the east, west, or south?"
"North!" Chen Hao did not look back, but looked into the distance and whispered two words.
This news made Wang Shaoyi feel much better. He knew that this was a good opportunity to turn defeat into victory and avenge his previous shame. In Wang Shaoyi's view, the reason why Chen Hao only had 5,000 troops must be the troops of Shenzhou and Zhaozhou.
