At night, the city of Huangchi, the head of the south gate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the head of the West Gate, Le Jin and Cheng Yu stood on top of the city, looking at the lights of the Wei army camp in the distance, with complicated eyes.

Le Jin took one last look at the secret decree in his hand, then put it into his arms, looked at Cheng Yu, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Cheng, is Your Majesty's plan feasible?" ”

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said: "The situation has reached this point, breaking through is our only hope, breaking through from the West Gate is the fastest route to meet Your Majesty, and the pottery thief should also be able to see it. ”

Cheng Yu also firmly believes that Lejin naturally has no hesitation.

Looking up at the moonlight sky above his head again, Le Jin took a deep breath and said with a brush: "The time has come, open the city gate."

The gates creaked open, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the road to the outside of the city was unimpeded.

Le Jin stood on the city tower, and shouted at the disheveled and panicked soldiers gathered under the city gate: "How brutal the pottery thief is, you should know, after the city is broken, he will definitely kill you, Ben will be merciful, I can't bear to affect you, tonight Ben will break through from the north gate, contain the Wei army, you take the opportunity to escape from the west gate to Guanzhong." ”

The voice fell, those soldiers in front of the city gate, you look at me, I look at you, they don't dare to move.

Le Jin frowned and shouted: "Haven't you understood what Ben Jiang said, get out and run for your life." ”

At this moment, those soldiers came to their senses, and they rushed towards the city gate, and soon, thousands of figures squeezed out of the west gate and rushed towards the direction of Wei Ying in the west.

Seeing these soldiers go away, Le Jin and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, understood each other, ran down the city one after another, turned over their horses, and went straight to the north gate.

……

Huangchi City, the camp of the Wei army.

In the imperial tent, the potter was reviewing the map with the civil and military warriors, discussing the next step.

At this time, Shaanxi County has been down, Bai Qi has successfully blocked the 50,000 main forces of Qin State under the city of Shaanxi, and the first thing the potters are doing now is how to break through the Huangchi.

Since the tentative siege of the city that day, the pottery merchants have launched a strong psychological deterrent against the Qin army in the city, using various means to lure the Qin army to surrender.

Because the way back was cut off, the fighting spirit of the Qin army fell to the bottom, and although there was enough food and grass, there was no will to stick to it.

On the tenth day of the siege, small groups of deserters began to cross the city and come to surrender to the Wei army.

The appearance of the deserters meant that the Qin army in the city had not many days left before the final collapse, which made the spirit of the potters even more uplifted.

Therefore, the potters entertained these soldiers with delicious food and drink, and let them constantly shout to the city every day and night, summoning more enemy soldiers and disturbing the enemy's morale.

At this time, for the potter, his eyes were no longer just on the pond in front of him, and the fall of this city was a matter of time.

The potter's eyes have been locked on Tongguan, and after taking Huangchi, his army will go straight to Tongguan, take the gate to Guanzhong, and kick open Cao Cao's door in one fell swoop.

A few days have passed, and nearly 1,000 Qin soldiers have surrendered across the city, and the potters have learned from these soldiers that the situation in the city is already stormy and almost collapsed.

The potter sensed that the time had come, and that it was time to gather all his forces and strike the final blow at the pond tomorrow.

After discussing the plan for tomorrow's siege with the ministers, the potter saw that it was getting late, so he dismissed the meeting.

Just when the ministers were about to retreat, Cao Shen, who was on duty, hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, there is a situation for the enemy of Huangchi City. ”

The potter's expression moved slightly, and suddenly he had some kind of premonition in his heart, waved his hand, and motioned for him to continue.

Cao Shen said: "There is an urgent report from Xiying, saying that nearly 10,000 Qin troops suddenly left the city at night and rushed in the direction of Xiying, and there seem to be signs of wanting to break through. ”

Lejin wants to escape?

The spirits of all the ministers were lifted, and they immediately became excited, and Fan Hao was the first to shout: "Okay, Lejin slipped out of that miscellaneous hair and sent him to death, there is no need for us to attack the city." ”

The potter is also in high spirits, in fact, the last thing he wants to do is to forcibly attack the city, as the so-called attack heart is the top, the siege is the bottom, the siege of this kind of killing a thousand enemies, self-damage of eight hundred, until the last resort, he will never choose.

At present, Lejin took the initiative to break through, which naturally solved a lot of trouble for the potter.

"Is the intelligence accurate, can you see that it is indeed the Qin army?" The potter asked calmly.

Cao Shen arched his hand and said: "The information should be correct, the enemy soldiers who said the scout are all wearing Qin army clothes and armor, and there is no doubt that they must be Qin army." ”

The potter nodded, without hesitation, and immediately ordered the whole army to go straight to the west camp, and be sure to surround and kill all the 20,000 Qin troops, and not let go of one.

The sound of gongs and assemblies soon resounded in the night sky, and the Great Wei soldiers who had been asleep immediately rose up in armor, and under the command of the generals, the armies from all walks of life rushed towards the western camp.

After a while, the potter personally led the army and rushed to the front line of Xiying.

Looking up through the blazing firelight, I saw that there was already a river of blood flowing in front of the Xiying, and the corpses were all over the ground, and the more than 10,000 defenders of the Xiying were killing the enemy troops who broke through under the leadership of Chen Qingzhi.

The potter raised his eyes and looked into the distance at the scene of killing in front of him, but there was a little doubt in his eagle eyes.

Although these Qin soldiers in front of them were all wearing Qin soldiers' armor, their combat effectiveness was incredibly low, and they were easily killed by their own troops without almost any resistance, and the weapons in the hands of these Qin soldiers were mostly improvised weapons such as sticks.

The Qin army is an elite division, even if it wants to break through in fear, it will not be so weak, right?

Suspicious, the potter rode his horse into the battlefield, and when he listened closely, he heard the screams of women in the crowd.

"What's the matter, why are there still women in the Qin army?" The potter was even more suspicious, and immediately ordered Jing Ke to lead his team into the battlefield and tied up several Qin soldiers for interrogation.

Jing Ke led a team of men and horses to kill, and after a while, he tied up three or five enemy soldiers, several of whom had fallen helmets, all of them were disheveled, and their skin was white and tender, and they were indeed women.

The potter frowned, then asked, "You are not Qin Jun, who are you?" ”

"Spare your life, we are not Qin soldiers, we are just ordinary people in Huangchi, please spare your life...... "The women knelt in front of the potter crying and begging for mercy.

The potter's face changed again, and he asked, "Since you are not soldiers, why do you wear the clothes and armor of the Qin army and break through to the west gate?" ”

The women, tremblingly, told them how Le Jin forced them to change into armor, how they coaxed them that there was no Wei army outside the West Gate, and how they drove them out of the city.

The pottery merchant suddenly realized, and then realized that these more than 10,000 "Qin soldiers" were not soldiers at all, and they were all ordinary people in Huangchi, so he immediately ordered to stop the killing immediately.

The order was passed down, and the red-eyed Wei soldiers who were killed on the battlefield put down the butcher's knife, and nearly half of the more than 10,000 people who went out of the city had been killed, and the rest were lying on the ground, crying and shouting for mercy.

"Your Majesty, these people are all ordinary people pretending, they are not Qin soldiers!" Han Xin also rushed over and shouted.

"I already know." The potter nodded, pointed to the woman in front of him, and said, "They are not only ordinary people, but also women, who were forcibly driven out by Lejin. ”

Fan Xu, who came later, was confused, touched his brain and asked: "What does this Lejin want to do, what is he doing to drive so many people out, is it because he wants to save food?" ”

"Impossible, Le Jin has already stocked up enough grain and grass in the city for five months in advance, and if he is afraid that he will not have enough food and grass and will be dragged down by the people, he should have driven them out in advance, so why drive them out of the city at this time, and put armor on them, wouldn't it be too much." Han Xin immediately objected.

The potter nodded slightly, and the suspicion in the eagle's eyes was even stronger, but he asked: "Then according to Han Qing's opinion, what is the significance of Lejin's move?" ”

Han Xin frowned for a moment, a hint of discoloration suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if the minister is not mistaken, Lejin drove the people out of the city from the west gate, just to attract the attention of our army, so he took the opportunity to lead the army to break through from outside the north gate." ”

The potter's expression moved, and he suddenly came to his senses.

At this time, Fan Xu said disapprovingly: "This is unlikely, even if Lejin bastard wants to break through, he should break through from the West Gate, and he can only go to the Yellow River to break through to the North Gate, and he wants to jump into the river and swim back to Guanzhong." ”

Before the words fell, a glimmer of light flashed in the potter's eyes, and he immediately shouted: "Quickly send an order to the whole army, immediately go to the north gate to block Le Jin, and must not let him break through my northern camp." ”

The order of the pottery merchant was handed down, and the generals immediately moved.

Fan Xu looked puzzled and said: "I said Your Majesty, you don't really believe that Lejin kid will break through from the north gate, but the Yellow River to the north." ”

The potter gave him a blank look and scolded: "You bare foodie, have you forgotten, Huangchi Wangbei is the head of Shimenjin Ferry, and there are more than 100 of our warships there, if he is allowed to seize these warships and break through to Shaanxi-Jindu against the current, Lu Xun and their 20,000 sailors will be in trouble." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Xu suddenly realized, his expression suddenly changed, his face burned with surprise, and without saying a word, he followed the potter and ran away to the north.

The potter, who was running wildly, couldn't help but secretly praise the enemy's subtle and treacherous strategy, and he didn't know who came out of it, and even Zhang Liang couldn't see it.

First of all, the people pretended to be soldiers to break through to the west, and did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of people, but also to attract his army to the west to encircle, but took advantage of the weakness to break through from the north gate.

It was just a matter of breaking through the siege, and he was sure that his Shimenjin Ferry was empty, and he wanted to seize the warship in one fell swoop, go west against the river, and unexpectedly attack Lu Xun Ding Fengshui's flank from the water.

In that way, Cao Cao will be able to destroy Lu Xun's 20,000 sailors in one go, in this way, not only Lejin's 20,000 elite soldiers will be preserved, but also annihilated his more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao, your plan is really poisonous enough, and finally let me feel your weight......" The potter sneered in his heart, rode his horse faster, and galloped wildly.

Before dawn, the potter rushed to the front line of Beiying, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Beiying was already dilapidated, and there were corpses everywhere along the front line of the camp.

At this time, the general Ma Yuan rushed over and said: "Your Majesty, the 20,000 Qin army suddenly attacked my northern camp at night, and although the minister fought with all his might, he could not stop the enemy from breaking through, please punish Your Majesty." ”

The potter frowned, but he didn't expect that he was in a hurry, but he was still a step late.

"All the soldiers and horses in your camp have been transferred to the west, and it is normal for the enemy to break through, this is my negligence, it is none of your business, quickly gather the soldiers and horses, and follow me to Shimenjin to pursue." The potter said a few words of relief, and the horse continued to gallop.

At the moment, the potters did not stop one step, led an army of more than 100,000 people, crossed the northern camp, and chased all the way to Shimenjin on the south bank of the Yellow River.
