Chapter Ninety-Six: An Empty City (One Shift)
Several guards standing in front of the formation felt very strange, and they all looked at Xu Xiaoyuan, waiting for him to decide.
"Do you know who the defender of this Yuncheng is?" Xu Xiaoyuan looked ahead and asked calmly.
"Back to the general, Ling Heng led the troops to Jiangxia, then the guard of Yuncheng is the Song period, and the Song period has no strategy, so there is nothing to be afraid of." A general to his right replied.
Xu Xiaoyuan smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, so what are you hesitating about!
However, just as he raised his long sword and was about to give the order to attack the city, he saw that the city gate was slowly opened, Xu Xiaoyuan looked at it, it seemed to be empty inside, and he could not see a single soldier, and after a while, he saw two servants cleaning the city gate with brooms.
At this time, the generals around him looked at each other, which was really weird. After a while, a piano sound pierced the sky, as if bursting out from the distant mountains, everyone was immediately startled, and they all looked up in the direction of the qin sound, and saw a man in white above the head of Yuncheng City caressing the guqin.
The man in white lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes lightly, his hands sometimes flicked, sometimes flying, and the sound of the piano slid out of the strings like flowing water, simple and clear, and natural. That dusty and ethereal temperament does not fit in with this solemn and bleak battlefield at all. I saw that the man seemed to be intoxicated by the light dance of his fingertips, even when he looked up at the front, his eyes were empty, and he completely forgot about the danger of the soldiers approaching the city.
Mu Xiaohe didn't look at the tens of thousands of soldiers under the city, he just lowered his head and plucked the strings, a song "Yangguan Song", the tune was sad and sad, just give it to these soldiers who have fought on the battlefield for many years and have not returned home, he sighed silently in his heart.
The solemn expressions of the soldiers under the city really loosened a little, and a few people returned to the ancient battle...... Thinking about the old and young at home, thinking about the longing for many years of leaving home, wrapped in the tune of the guqin, everyone seems to have gradually forgotten where they are.
Xu Xiaoyuan squinted slightly, and looked at Mu Xiaohe in the city for a long time: he was shaking the hearts of the army......
However, Xu Xiaoyuan has been fighting for many years, and he has never seen any storms, so today I want to see what tricks he can play.
"Who is this man?"
"He's definitely not Song Period!"
"When did Jingzhou have such a figure? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
"Some people who are not from Jingzhou!"
The generals beside Xu Xiaoyuan discussed sentence by sentence, but no one could tell who the man with the appearance of an immortal in the city was.
Xu Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh, "In the past, Kong Ming made an empty plan. Scare Sima Yi away, today's prince is also the same trick, but I don't know if the city is also an empty city? ”
His lieutenant Xiahou Xuan understood what he meant, and continued: "General." Ling Heng has already gone downstream, maybe it is precisely because of the emptiness of their troops that they learned from Zhuge Liang to make a mystery, but in fact, it is to scare us away! ”
"General Xiahou is right, General. Let's not care if there are people or not, let's go and occupy Yuncheng first! Xiahou Xuan's side of the general said.
Xu Xiaoyuan was still silent, he was still thinking about who the man in white was in the city, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the whole thing was not so simple, there were really not many men with such a noble bearing and good at stroking the qin.
He continued to ponder, with Pei Yun here, Emperor Xiao should not send another prince to Jingzhou, and most of the children of those families in the capital are pampered and have never been on the battlefield, and Emperor Xiao will not take this risk.
But he remembered someone for a moment. He had heard Yuan Kai say earlier that the prince of Jingnan Hou had entered Beijing, and that prince had studied military strategy with Pei Yan in his early years. The corner of his mouth chuckled, then the outstanding man in front of him was Mu Xiaohe, the prince of Jingnan Hou.
Just when Xu Xiaoyuan was still figuring out the details of his opponent, the sound of the piano in the city suddenly turned rapidly, and the sound of the piano suddenly sounded like a thunderbolt, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
Mu Xiaohe finally looked up at the soldiers under the city, his fingers flew quickly, and a song "Breaking the Array" burst out.
First weaken their momentum, and then disrupt their mood and rhythm of battle. If the army's morale is chaotic, then there is no way to fight......
Xu Xiaoyuan was shocked, and finally realized Mu Xiaohe's intentions, and said hurriedly: "Xiahou." Why don't you go to the north side and see if there's an ambush? ”
"Order!" After Xiahou announced his order, he quickly rode his horse and drove towards the north.
But in the blink of an eye, Xu Xiaoyuan heard the noise of soldiers behind him.
"Not good, General, there is a surprise attack from behind!" One of the guards rode his horse and shouted, "A general in silver armor leads a large group of men and horses to shoot arrows at the rear of our army!" ”
Just waiting for Xu Xiaoyuan to order the generals to go to the battle. Xiahou Xuan pulled his crotch and threw his war horse down, and he rushed towards this side like a flyer, exclaiming loudly: "General, the soldiers and horses of Suijun in the north are galloping towards this side. ”
At this time, the sound of the piano on the head of the city stopped abruptly, and the somewhat chaotic Xu army suddenly quieted down, but the next moment they fell into a panic again, at this time, on the north avenue, the smoke and dust were rising, the horses' hooves were like thunder, and the shouts were even more deafening, not waiting for Xu Bing to take a breath, a team of iron cavalry on the south side of Yuncheng drove out, and a group of soldiers rushed towards Xu Jun with a roar.
Xu Jun immediately panicked, Xu Xiaoyuan was horrified and sorrowful, but he didn't have time to think, so he had to shout loudly: "Withdraw...withdraw in the direction of Jiangxia..."
Xu Xiaoyuan, who was riding on horseback, realized at this moment that this qiē was the bureau of Mu Xiao and cloth in the city, and he ostensibly used an empty city plan to drag himself, but in fact, it was a move to invite the king into the urn.
Xu Xiaoyuan was right, of course this was Mu Xiaohe's plan, Jiang Mei and Mu Xiaohe wrote a letter at the same time and sent it to Qiu Shaoping in Suijun, after Qiu Shaoping read the letter, he knew the situation in Yuncheng well, and he immediately sent his most powerful general Yanghe with 10,000 soldiers and horses to help.
As for the raid on the rear of Xu Xiaoyuan's army, there were other people, and it was not Mu Xiaohe who put a cold arrow on Xu Xiaoyuan's back, and even Mu Xiaohe, who was standing at the head of the city, attacked the rear of his own body by Jiang Mei.
Mu Xiaohe stood on the head of the city and looked at Yuan Jun who fled like ants, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. It was precisely with Kong Ming's empty city plan that he was able to use it to disrupt Xu Xiaoyuan's deployment and disturb the army's heart. The soldiers are treacherous, true and false, false and real...
Since then, Mu Xiaohe has become famous in the first battle, a guqin, two tunes, and Yuan Jun was scared to flee in a hurry.
However, Mu Xiaohe did not stop there, he immediately instructed Song Qi to defend the city, and he changed his armament, rode a tall horse, and walked in the direction of Xu Xiaoyuan's escape. Behind his heroic posture was Jiuzhu, who had a solemn face, and Wuling, who returned from the night and was full of admiration.
In Xu Xiaoyuan's opinion, the direction he chose was right, now the Yuan army is attacked on three sides, and the only gap is the south, and Xu Xiaoyuan also has the idea of sneaking up on Ling Heng behind to protect Jiangxia.
It's a pity that Jiang Xia is waiting for him with another trap. When Xu Xiaoyuan was preparing to attack Yuncheng, Jiangxia had already changed hands. (To be continued.) )
