Chapter 788: A Smart End

Longshan Mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the first line of the street pavilion, when Bai Qi was besieging the mountain, the pottery merchant was leading an army of nearly 80,000 and was still on the way to the street pavilion.

On Longshan Avenue, scouts came back in a steady stream and delivered the latest battle reports of the Bai Qi Department on the front line to the potters in a timely manner.

When the potter learned that Cao Cao had sent Xiahoudun and Wang Ping to guard the street pavilion, his expression couldn't help but move slightly, and historical memories of the past came to his mind.

He remembered that in the past history, Zhuge Liang sent a combination of Ma Jian and Wang Ping to guard the street pavilion, but Ma Jian did not follow Wang Ping's advice and was finally defeated.

Unexpectedly, in today's battle, Wang Ping appeared in the street pavilion again, but the main general was replaced by Xiahoudun, which was really a coincidence.

His thoughts converged, and the potter suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Then is Xiahoudun stationed in Jieting City, or is he camping somewhere else?" ”

"Your Majesty, according to General Bai's report, Xiahoudun did not fortify Jieting City, but put all the army on a lonely cliff in the southeast of Jieting City. The scout replied.

Hearing this information, the potter's eyes lit up again, and Yingwu's face swelled with deep surprise.

Of course, he remembered that in the past history, Ma Jian disobeyed Zhuge Liang's order and did not stick to Jieting City, but chose to garrison on a mountain outside the city, and was finally surrounded by the enemy and cut off from the water, and defeated himself without a fight.

Later generations, including potters, have always thought that Ma Tan is as the world has evaluated, his name does not match the truth, and he is just a false name, but in fact, like Zhao Kuo, he is a soldier on paper.

But now, how can Xiahoudun's method of garrisoning troops be the same as Ma Yan?

You know, even if Xiahoudun's strategy is not as good as Ma Tan, but in terms of experience, he is far better than Ma Tan, how can he make the same mistake as Ma Tan?

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Xiahoudun, you actually took the old path of Ma Yan, which surprised me, really surprised......"

The potter's thoughts raced, and he was silent.

At this time, Liu Bowen, who was beside him, remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "The Qin army is camped in the mountain...... Mountain, how do they take ...... Fetching water? ”

"Back to Mr. Liu, according to the intelligence, there is a small river flowing at the foot of the lonely cliff, and the Qin army should take water from this small river."

Hearing the scout's words, Wei Chi Gong beside him couldn't help but interject: "Since this is the case, it's not simple, ask General Bai to surround the mountain into an iron bucket, and then cut off the water source of the Qin army, drink them for three or five days, don't let us attack the mountain again, the Qin army will be in chaos by itself." ”

The pottery merchant nodded slightly, according to his historical memory, in history, Zhang He's defeat of Ma Tan was indeed cut off from the water source, and the deadly Shu army collapsed without a fight.

"Something is wrong, something is wrong...... Liu Ji shook his head again and again, his eyes revealing deep suspicion.

The potter also sensed the abnormality and asked, "Something is wrong with Berwyn, let's hear it." ”

Liu Ji stroked his short beard and said: "If the water source is cut off, the military will ...... without a fight Self-confusion, such a simple Tao...... Reason, even the black charcoal head can be seen...... It can be seen that with Xiahoudun's use of troops...... How could he not have imagined that he would commit a ...... What about making such a low-level mistake? ”

The potter's expression suddenly moved, and he suddenly realized that he also thought of this strange place.

"What do you mean even I can see, I said Mr. Liu, do you look down on me like this, where am I worse than that Xiahou one-eyed monster, what do I mean by this...... Yu Chigong opened his mouth and muttered at Liu Ji.

Liu Ji ignored him, as if he was like air, he only stared at his eyebrows and beard, looking pensive.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in Liu Ji's eyes, as if he was suddenly in a trance.

The potter saw that Liu Ji's eyes had changed, and knew that he had seen some flaws, so he asked, "Berwyn, what have you thought of?" ”

Liu Ji said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that with Xiahou Xuan's ability, since it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake, but he dares to camp on the lonely cliff unscrupulously, it means that he has no fear, and he is not afraid of the water source being cut off, so there is only one reason, in addition to the clear water source, there must be a dark water source on the lonely cliff!" ”

Liu Ji became so excited that he even spoke sharply, and said his analysis in one breath.

"What is the source of open water, what is the source of dark water, I said Mr. Liu, why did you suddenly have a sharp tongue, it's really strange......" Wei Chigong hadn't turned the corner yet, and he couldn't stop babbling.

The potter's eyes rolled, and he suddenly realized, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer meaningfully, and he sighed in his mouth: "I see, I see......

"Your Majesty, I see, I can't understand anything." Wei Chigong scratched his head and howled blankly.

The potter also relied on explaining more to him, and only sneered with his hand: "Quickly Pegasus went to remind Bai Qi, told him to pay attention to the open water source, and then carefully inspect it, be careful that Xiahoudun still has a dark water source hidden." ”

……

Street pavilion, under the lonely cliff.

The sun was approaching dusk, the remnant sun was like blood, and Bai Qi immediately stood at the bottom of the slope, raising his eyes to look up at Qin Ying on the cliff, his brows furrowed, and he was stunned.

After staring at it for a long time, Bai Qi secretly sighed and muttered, "It's really strange......"

Bai Qi is not just strange, it is deeply confused.

It stands to reason that he has completely cut off the Qin army's waterways, and the enemy army has not come down the mountain to get water for nearly five days.

Under normal circumstances, the Qin soldiers should have been in turmoil because of thirst, either they would have gone down the mountain on a large scale to surrender, or Xiahoudun should have led the army to force down the mountain to break through in desperation.

The pictures that Bai Qi expected did not appear at all.

The Qin army on the cliff was so calm that it couldn't be calmer anymore, neither came down the mountain to break through, nor did a single soldier come to surrender, as if it was not affected at all, and the water cut off was not a matter for them at all.

This made Bai Qi very confused, and he now had a delusion, as if it was not nine thousand living people who were fighting him, but nine thousand plants.

Even if there are 9,000 plants, there should be at least a few leaves after so long without water......

Bai Qi stared for a long time, thought for a long time, and couldn't figure it out, and finally could only sigh lightly, turn around his horse, and go back to the camp.

Back in the big tent, Li Guang was also in the tent, also frowning, muttering the word "strange" in his mouth.

Obviously, this sharpshooter lieutenant, like Bai Qi, the main general, is also in confusion and can't extricate himself.

As soon as he saw that Bai was up, Li Guang couldn't help but say: "I said General Bai, we have been cut off from Xiahoudun's water source for five days, and the Qin army has not shown the slightest sign of collapse after so long, is it true that Xiahoudun is so prestigious, his soldiers are thirsty to this point, and they can not mess up?" ”

"How is that possible!" Bai Qi shook his head, "Even if Xiahoudun has the ability to suppress the army's heart, it is impossible to be without exception, not even a single enemy soldier who came down the mountain to surrender, this is too unreasonable and strange." ”

For a while, the two generals were helpless.

At this moment, the soldiers rushed over and said, "Two generals, Your Majesty sent Pegasus to come to the two generals of the ward, and told the two generals to inspect the enemy when cutting off the enemy's clear water source, and be careful that the enemy army still has a dark water source." ”

Bai Qi and Li Guang glanced at each other, and the figures of the two of them were shocked at the same time, and the expressions in their eyes seemed to be enlightened, and they suddenly realized.

"Got it, I finally got it!"

Bai Qi looked surprised, and said excitedly: "I'll just say, that Xiahoudun is an experienced man, how could he make such a low-level mistake, knowing that the water source is easy to be cut off by us, but he still has to forcibly camp on the mountain, and we cut off the water source for five days, but it has no impact at all, it turns out that he still has a dark water source." ”

"That's right, in this way, all the explanations are reasonable, in addition to the open water source, Xiahoudun must have a dark water source!" Li Guang also said categorically excitedly.

At this time, Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is really insightful, I didn't expect it on the front line, Your Majesty is still a hundred miles away, but I can think of this, I really don't accept it." ”

Bai Qi was impressed by the potter, and Li Guang was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.

At that moment, Bai Qi did not hesitate, and immediately sent a large group of scouts to reconnoiter around the lonely cliff again, even if he turned the entire area of the lonely cliff into a layer of skin, he had to find the dark water source.

Finally, after a day of scouting, the scouts finally found the source of the dark water.

It was another side camp of the Qin army, standing behind the cliff, hidden in the depths of the woods, because this enemy camp was backed by the cliff, and it was actually difficult to form an echo with the Qin army on the top of the cliff, so it was not noticed before.

The scouts carefully reconnoitred and found that as soon as it was night, the Qin army on the top of the mountain continued to carry buckets up from this other camp through ropes, which further proved that the Qin army relied on the dark water source in this other camp to get water, so that it could be as stable as Mount Tai.

And the purpose of this camp is naturally to guard the dark water source of the station.

The scouts even reported that the enemy camp was under the banner of "Wang", and the guard should be Wang Ping, the general of Shu State.

After getting the news, Bai Qi was naturally very excited, and immediately dispatched nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses from Li Guang to seize the camp.

According to Bai Qi's estimate, the main force of the Qin army is all camped on the cliff, and the number of troops in the other battalion should not exceed two thousand, and the terrain of that camp is not dangerous, Li Guang's ten times the army is enough to take it.

On the same day, it is night.

Li Guang led an army of 20,000 and smoothly penetrated into the forest, approaching the enemy camp under the cover of night.

With Li Guang's order, 20,000 Wei soldiers rushed through the forest like a tiger out of a cage and rushed to the enemy camp like a tide.

In the dense forest, the sound of killing was everywhere, and the sound of gongs and warnings immediately became loud, tearing apart the silence of the night.

In the enemy camp, there was chaos immediately, and Wang Ping, who had just fallen asleep, was also suddenly awakened, and he couldn't care about sleepy eyes, and went straight out of the tent with a knife.

It can be said that Wang Ping is defenseless.

Although it has been six days since the Wei army surrounded the mountain, the Wei army has never found out because of the secret location of Wang Ping's partial camp, so it has not been attacked.

It was this external environment that had been uneventful that caused the two thousand Qin troops to relax their vigilance slightly, and even Wang Ping himself thought that the Wei army's attention was all focused on Xiahoudun's subordinates on the cliff, and they didn't pay attention to him at all.

Therefore, when the Wei army suddenly arrived, the Qin army was completely unaware, and it was not until the Wei army attacked the camp wall that they were unaware.

Wang Ping, who was awakened from his dream, turned over and got on his horse, rushed to the camp wall, looked up, but gasped.

Raising his eyes and sweeping away, he saw that beyond the camp wall that stretched for more than fifty steps, it was densely packed with Wei soldiers, and the black pressure was as boundless as the tide, and the number was more than ten times that of his own army.

On the west flank, several camp walls had been cut down, and hundreds of Wei soldiers were swarming into the camp.

"How can this be, could it be that Wei Jun actually discovered this dark water source, I am hiding it so secretly, how can Wei Jun notice me?" Wang Ping muttered in surprise, his face filled with fear and dazedness.

At this time, in the frontal direction, the camp gate was shattered, and countless Wei soldiers rushed in like a tide, killing their own troops one after another, and the collapse was inevitable.

The main gate was breached, the west flank was breached, the east flank was also breached, the entire camp wall was completely breached, and ten times the Wei army poured in, and the own army, which was less than 2,000 people, was killed until the blood flowed like a river and fell apart.

"The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone, Xiahoudun, if you had listened to my persuasion and held on to the street pavilion city, you might have been able to drag on for ten days and a half months, but you had to be smart and camp on this cliff, but I didn't expect it to be recognized by the Wei army, if I didn't do my best, it was really too much ...... the Wei army."

After a long sigh, Wang Ping waved his knife and shouted: "Order, the whole army quickly abandon the camp to break through, abandon the camp to break through!" ”
