The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 372 On Guzi Ridge, Liu Bian's Pro-Battle

"Sir, there are rebel scouts ahead and they have been surrounded by us." Di Cang said with his hands in hand.

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Leave two alive, and kill the others."

The combat power of the rebel scouts was simply not enough, and they were quickly killed by Di Cang, leaving two survivors and brought them to Liu Bian.

"Take one, leave this here, I have something to ask him." Liu Bian pointed at the two with a horsewhip, and asked the soldier to take one of them aside.He wants to interrogate them separately, so that they can confirm whether they have lied or not.

"I ask, you answer. I don't like nonsense, and I don't like wasting time. Only one of you can live, and I will confirm what you said." Liu Bian pointed at the rebel left behind and said fiercely.

The rebel knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, I dare not hide anything."

Hearing his words, Liu Bian nodded slightly: "How many troops are there in the city? Where are they arranged? How is the battle going?"

"The small one. The small one is not from the city, but a garrison outside the city. I don't know the situation inside the city. I just heard from the superior officer that there are no less than 20 troops in the city.

Du Yu and Guo Huai of the official army have led the army to the outside of Langya City, and our people have already received fire. "The rebel scout did not dare to hide anything and told everything he knew about the situation.

Liu Bian nodded to Di Cang, and Di Cang turned to interrogate another scout, and killed that scout after a while.Liu Bian pointed to the distance and said, "What's the frontier?"

"It's Guziling, where 1000 of our people are stationed."

"Does it have heavy firepower?" Di Cang asked.

The rebel scout shook his head and said: "No, there are only a few dozen guns to guard the canyon of Guziling. There are 3000 defenders at the other end of the canyon. They are equipped with artillery and a large number of muskets."

Seeing that Liu Bian had nothing to ask, Di Cang said to his subordinates, "Take him to Guziling."

The lieutenant general who escorted the captives had returned, and he brought a thousand cavalry with him, carrying a lot of ammunition and supplies.Liu Bian was very satisfied. Shi Xinghe's troops were of good quality, far stronger than most of the local garrison troops.

The battle in Qingzhou is a test for Shi Xinghe and his soldiers. As long as they perform well, they will be indispensable in the battles going south to Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

All the troops are progressing smoothly. The Wang family will not wait for the imperial army to attack the city. When that time comes, how can the Wang family compete with the huge state machine with the productivity it has?Therefore, they will take the initiative to attack, wait for the opportunity to push the front line away, and use their own number advantage to dilute the edge of the main force of the court by lengthening the front line.

After the troops were revised, Liu Bian asked Di Cang to lead 1000 people as the vanguard to investigate the situation in Guziling.This is a battleground for military strategists, and if Wang's rebels defend it for a long time, it will make it difficult to supply.

Liu Bian did not want to change the situation of the war through the 6000 people he led. He just wanted to hunt in the periphery and eliminate as many of the rebels' effective forces as possible.

"My lord, the entrance of Guziling is ahead." The rebel scout pointed to the side of the fork in the road.

Di Cang ordered his men to be silent, and he only brought two cavalrymen and rebel scouts to look around from the forest.Sure enough, as the rebel scouts said, there were not many soldiers in Taniguchi, about a thousand.

"Get off your horse and prepare to fight!" As soon as Di Cang's order was issued, the cavalry all dismounted from their horses and entered the forest with their guns in hand.

Spread out in small groups in the forest, waiting for Di Cang's order to launch an attack on the rebels ahead.

He pulled the rebel scout over, put his gun against his chest and said, "Is there a way to get them out of the position?"

The scout thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "Just say that if you meet an officer scout, run back to a few people and let them come over to meet you."

Feeling that the method he said was feasible, Di Cang leaned against the tree with two soldiers and asked the scouts to shout.The rebels had been in their positions all day, and some had fallen asleep.

"Brothers, I'm a Yuma scout. When we encounter a scout from the government army, we will run back to us. Come and meet us!"

The shouts of the rebel scouts almost caused the soldiers on the rebel position to shoot.

"You run over by yourself, what if we go out to meet you and the officers and soldiers kill you?"

Hearing the shouts from the opposite position, Di Cang gritted his teeth: "You dog, you are really timid and afraid of death. Brothers, get ready to fight."

"Don't, we ran all the way, and our brother was injured, hurry up and help us!"

"How far is the official army from here?"

The rebel scouts continued to coax him: "There is no brigade of officers, but their scouts. I must have seen that we are ready for battle, and have retreated."

Five people ran over from the rebel position, it seemed that they were there to meet them.Di Cangying took off her clothes, and was going to go deep into the enemy's line with the rebel scouts, and cooperate with each other from the inside out.

Seeing only four people, the rebels who came to meet him asked, "Which one is injured? Carry it yourself and follow us."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Di Cang winked, and his men held their stomachs and leaned on the rebel scout. Another of his men and the scout lifted him up and followed the rebels towards their position.

The rebels' positions were well built, with three layers of positions built in layers, which could perfectly control the entrance of the canyon.If Liu Bian really waited until Liu Bian came to attack with a large army, as long as there were enough muskets in the rebel positions, Liu Bian and the others would pay a heavy price.

After a rough estimate, as the scouts said, there were only sixty muskets on the ground.As long as it can cause chaos, the troops ambushing in the forest can rush over and take the position when the time comes.

Then remove the defensive machinery such as Taniguchi's refusal horse, and Liu Bian can lead the army to attack the other end of the canyon.

Di Cang is not a local, so he dare not speak for fear of revealing his identity.It was the scouts who were interrogating the rebels. Fortunately, he was more afraid of Di Cang and did not expose Di Cang's identity.

The information he provided was also nonsense, and he was afraid of death.The rebels don't know his details yet and won't kill him.

But once he revealed the identities of Di Cang and the others, he might be the first one to kill Di Cang and the others who were fighting the trapped beasts.

"My lord, in my opinion, find a way to sneak back. How can you deal with so many people with just a few of you?" the scout whispered to Di Cang.

The four of them squatted in the corner of the position, gnawing dry food, and the rebels on the position began to enter their positions. The leader of them felt that since the scouts of the official army had withdrawn, the army might not be far away.
