Chapter 8 Fighting the Enemy

The army, seeing the retreat of the Sanling clansmen, kept shouting, at this time the young general came to Li Xiao, knelt down on one knee and said: "Thank you for the general's life-saving grace, Runfeng is grateful, but I don't know who the general is?"

Li Xiao looked at Runfeng and liked it very much, and said, "You are Runfeng?"

"Is it here that the general knows about me?" asked Runfeng.

"Lu Yongsheng, is this the General Runfeng you are talking about?" Li Xiao pointed to Lu Yongsheng on the side and said.

"Yes, General Li, it's him" After Lu Yongsheng finished speaking, he walked towards Runfeng, and then told Runfeng about the events of these days, how Hou Mayuan died in battle, and how Li Xiao saved them with less victory, Runfeng listened, and walked to Li Xiao and knelt down, and said, "General, Runfeng is willing to follow the general to fight the enemy, I don't know if the general can take it in"

After Li Xiao heard this, a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Let me ask you, how did you learn this martial art when you are young, and how do you know the art of war and tactics?"

Runfeng replied: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, thanks to General Hou who took me in, taught me martial arts, taught me to read and write, and taught me the art of war, now that General Hou is gone, if we can follow the general to fight the enemy, it is really unbelievable."

"Okay, Runfeng, is it okay for you to be my lieutenant?" Li Xiao said as he helped Runfeng up

"I can't ask for it, I am willing to follow the general," Runfeng said

Li Xiao inquired about the terrain of Shu County from Runfeng, and learned that the south gate was the weakest, Li Xiao ordered people to clean up and arrange the team, and found that there were already 3,000 people.

Li Xiao and the others came to the village not far from the city of Shu County, ordered people to explore the terrain, visited the defenders of the Sanling clan in Shu County and Dongning, and reported that the defenders of Shu County were 6,000 and the defenders of Dongning were 6,000, and Li Xiao knew that Shu County was the only food route leading to Zixuanguan, so he calculated in his heart, "If you attack Shu County, Dongning will come to support, then the senior brother will attack Dongning, and they will definitely be handy"

Li Xiao called Broken Soul and King Kong over and asked, "Two senior brothers, how many days is there left for our twenty-day appointment with senior brothers?"

Broken Soul thought for a while and said, "Not counting today, there are still five days, Xiao'er, we people are attacking Shu County, I'm afraid..."

"Second Senior Brother, don't worry, I have my own measure, presumably Senior Brother and they should also arrive in Dongning soon, without further ado" After speaking, Li Xiao called Runfeng and Lu Yongsheng over, and said to the two: "Lu Yongsheng, tomorrow, you take a thousand men and horses to call for battle in front of Shujun City, and find a way to provoke them, if they go out of the city to fight, you must not fight with them, and flee to the hinterland to the east, they will not dare to chase"

"General, how did I lead the soldiers, this, this" Lu Yongsheng looked at Li Xiao in embarrassment.

Li Xiao smiled: "Tomorrow, you wear my armor, ride my white horse, and hold my flag, you will treat yourself as me, remember, don't fight"

Lu Yongsheng took the order and said, "The general thinks of me like this, I will definitely live up to the general"

Li Xiao said to Runfeng again: "Runfeng, you take the rest of the two thousand men and horses to make straw men overnight, you can do as much as you can tonight, after dawn, put the armor on your body for the straw men, and put the straw men in the hinterland of the east to make an ambush."

Runfeng said: "Don't worry, general, the last general will do it" After speaking, Runfeng led people to move. Broken Soul and King Kong looked at each other and nodded to each other.

The next day, Lu Yongsheng took more than 1,000 people to the south gate of Shujun City, swaggeringly to the south gate of Shujun City, and shouted at the Sanling army in the city: "I am Li Xiao, the general of the Terran expedition, you three beast mongrels dare to invade my territory, and you should abandon the city and surrender quickly, otherwise when the city is broken, all your beast heads will be cut off, and you will be the night pot."

The defenders in the city were furious when they heard it, and the people of the Sanling clan hated other races the most and called themselves beasts, mongrels and the like, "release the arrows" Someone in the city shouted, only to see the arrows raining down, because Lu Yongsheng They stood far away, the arrows could not arrive, Lu Yongsheng led everyone to laugh "Hahaha, mongrels are mongrels, looking at the five big and three thick, the arrows shot are not as good as our little ladies of the human race, hey, the mongrels in the city, what are you hybrids with what, you look so ugly" Lu Yongsheng scolded for a long time, but there was no reaction from the city, Li Xiao watched from a distance, and laughed secretly in his heart, "Lu Yongsheng, Lu Yongsheng, you kid scolded so ugly, the Three Spirit Army is not simple, you don't even dare to go out of the city, you will look good in two days"

"The mongrels in the city, aren't you fierce, aren't you beasts, come down and bite me, the gun in your grandfather's hand picks on you kind of miscellaneous, look at your nests, at first glance, it is raised by the little lady, beasts, you are down......" Lu Yongsheng and others, from morning to night, there was no reaction in the city, so they could only collect their troops, and when they came back to see Li Xiao and said: "General, we called for a day array, and they didn't pay attention to it" Li Xiao said: "Don't worry, continue to call for formation tomorrow, Runfeng, how many straw men have been made?" "More than two thousand" "Okay, continue tomorrow"

On the second and third days, two consecutive days of scolding to no avail, Lu Yongsheng looked at Li Xiao with a disgraced face and said: "Please punish the general, my words can't provoke them" Li Xiao smiled: "It's okay, tomorrow Runfeng will scold, Runfeng, how much does the straw man make?" "Back to the general, more than 10,000" Runfeng said, Li Xiao said: "Great, all of you will go and scold tomorrow, Runfeng, if the enemy goes out of the city, you must not fight"

On the fourth day, 3,000 men and horses came to call for battle, Lu Yongsheng was just about to open his mouth to scold, only to see the gate of Shujun wide open, the Sanling army rushed out of the city, there were 10,000 horses, Runfeng was taken aback, remembering Li Xiao's words, he ordered a retreat, and everyone fled to the hinterland in the east, and the Sanling army did not pursue.

After returning to the camp, Runfeng said to Li Xiao: "General, now that the number of defenders in Shujun has doubled, and the fighter plane has been delayed, I'm afraid that we people won't be able to break through Shujun, I don't know what the general's intentions are?"

Li Xiao saw that Runfeng had doubts and said: "Who said that you are going to fight Shujun?" I am just bluffing here, Runfeng, you go and pick two hundred people who are good at riding and archery, and the rest of the men and horses will rush to Dongning overnight, and there is no time to delay" Then he said to Broken Soul and King Kong: "Two senior brothers, you take a large group of men and horses, go and fight with the two senior brothers" Pointing to the beacon tower in the distance, he said: "When the beacon fire is ignited, you will attack Dongning" The two nodded and left.

Li Xiao said to Runfeng: "You take a small team of people and horses to the beacon tower, and when you see a fire at the south gate of Shujun, you light the beacon fire, and then wait for me in the woods in the east."

Li Xiao arranged everyone properly, let the remaining 100 people rest, Li Xiao slept until dusk the next day, and after waking up, he let people carry the straw man, the armor on the straw man had already been removed, the weight was extremely light, the 100 people moved more than 10,000 straw people to the designated location after a while, it was dark, Li Xiao looked at the night sky, the dark clouds were thick, it can be said that he couldn't see his five fingers, Li Xiao said secretly: "God help me"
