In the middle of spring, in Mayday, I stole half a day of leisure.

About twenty or thirty miles south of the Ning army camp that Tang rivaled, there was a small river, the river channel was only three or four zhang wide, and the shallow part of the river barely reached the position of people's chests.

A small maza, a fishing rod, a pot of tea.

Tang Pi sat there and fished leisurely, but it had been more than an hour since morning, and not a single fish had been baited.

Tang is not annoyed, fishing is a pastime, if the liver is hot because of fishing, then what is the point of fishing.

The original intention of fishing is to be idle, what is leisure used for?

Enjoy the leisure.

Fishing is a surprise in the leisure, not fishing is idle and idle, where to be annoyed, if the fishing is annoyed, it is better to go directly to someone to fight.

Tang Pi sat here, and often even forgot to watch the fish float, a little drowsy.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the south bank of the river.

Tang Pidi's slightly squinted eyes opened, looking at the south bank of the river, and a team of Chu army scouts flew over.

The scout procession, which numbered about a dozen people, stopped at the river and did not seem to be afraid.

The chief of the leaders was silent for a moment, and actually shouted loudly.

"On the other side, but Ning Jun?"

The soldiers beside Tang Pidi replied, "Exactly." ”

Chief Chu Jun asked, "Who is the angler?" ”

The soldiers looked at Tang Rival, and Tang Rival nodded slightly.

The pro-soldier immediately replied loudly: "I'm the general of the Ning Army, Wu Yang, and Tang is the enemy!" ”

Chief Chu Jun was taken aback, he was really taken aback.

I met a few people from the Ning Army by the river, and they were actually the generals of the Ning Army?!

The probability of this kind of thing is much lower than when you go out and meet your unrelated father.

As soon as I went out, I saw a carriage passing by and almost rolled my foot, and scolded which grandson was driving? Answer your dad.

This probability is definitely higher than meeting a big general.

"But really?!"

Shi Chang shouted again.

Don stretched out his hand: "Bow." ”

The soldiers took off the bow and handed it to Tang Pidi, who took it and didn't get up, still sitting on the horse, looking extremely casual and even very hasty, and then sent out an arrow.

Seeing that Tang Pidi took the bow, those Chu army scouts hurriedly turned their horses and prepared to evacuate, but they didn't expect Tang Pidi to send arrows so quickly.

Just casually with an arrow, an arrow shot off the red tassel on the long helmet of the Chu army.

Tang Pidi handed the bow to the soldiers beside him, still looking lazy, sitting there drowsy.

The scouts of the Chu army turned their horses around and left, and soon disappeared from sight, leaving only a cloud of dust and smoke.

The soldier said: "General, let's go back to the camp first, and there may be a large group of people from the Chu army in the near future." ”

Tang Pidi said lightly: "A fish didn't take the bait, and when I go back, I'm afraid that I will be laughed at by Luo Jing, so I will catch it for a while." ”

The soldier sighed: "General, you forgot to hang the bait just now, how can there be a fish on the bait?" ”

Tang Pidi looked at him sideways: "Really? ”

The soldier said: "Really, my subordinates watched with their own eyes, and the general didn't hang the bait." ”

Tang Pi said: "Then why don't you remind?" ”

The soldier said: "I reminded you when I came, and told the general that we forgot to bring bait." ”

Tang Pidi: "Huh? So what did I get back to you? ”

The soldier said: "The general said that you can catch a fish without bait, and that is really powerful." ”

Tang Pidi glanced at the south bank of the river and smiled: "You can catch fish without bait, it's really amazing." ”

He looked up at the sky, where the May sun was already scorching, and he asked, "Do you bring an umbrella?" ”

The soldier said: "I didn't bring it either." ”

Tang Pi said: "I don't want to bask in the sun, go think of a way." ”

After a short time, the soldiers cut down a lot of branches, as well as small trees with thick arms, and built a shed next to Tang Pidi.

These pro-soldiers moved quickly, their hands and feet were nimble, and it didn't take two moments before and after.

Not long after the pergola was erected, the south bank of the river was full of smoke and dust, and it seemed that this time it was not just a dozen scouts.

At least thousands of cavalry roared, stopped on the south bank of the river, and stood along the river.

It's like a river bank with a sudden layer of dense forest.

These cavalry were arrayed on the river embankment, watching the Tang Rival's side, and they would not make any move without a military order.

A moment later, the cavalry opened a gap, and several horses came up from behind.

The man at the head was wearing iron armor, and his face was also covered by the face armor, so he couldn't see his face.

The man urged the horse to the embankment, looked at Tang Pi on the opposite side, and looked at it for a long time.

As if curious, Tang Pi still didn't run in this situation.

He turned his head sideways and whispered something to the people around him, and the people around him immediately responded.

The cronie shouted towards Tang's rival: "General Tang, why are you pretending? ”

Tang Pidi ignored him, raised his hand and pointed at the ironclad general and said to the soldiers beside him: "You see, if I don't brag and don't hang bait, I can catch big fish." ”

He pointed to the general of the Chu army: "This is a big fish." ”

Fingers swept over the thousands of cavalrymen: "These are fish roe." ”

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh out loud, and none of them looked scared.

This river is only a few zhang wide, not to mention bows and arrows, the crossbows of the Chu army on the opposite side can hit it.

Thousands of cavalry surrounded and fired, even steel and iron bones could not stop it.

However, Tang Pidi was still so lazy, it seemed that those thousands of fish roe were really not worth his attention.

At this moment, the hook without hanging ears actually sank, and Tang Pidi raised his hand to lift the fishing rod, and a fish more than a foot long struggled back and forth on the hook.

Tang Pidi took off the fish with a smile and threw it to his own soldiers: "Take it, you have to take it back to Luo Jing to show it, and brag to him." ”

The Chu army on the other side was obviously angry, this general of the Ning army really had no one in his eyes.

The leading general of the Chu army whispered a few words to the people around him, and the man nodded and shouted loudly to Tang's rival: "General Tang, pretending to be very similar, but pretending to be pretending is pretending, there is a shortage of major generals around you, so you will be in a suspicious formation, if you start a war, you will be defeated, and if you are defeated, you will die!" ”

The leader whispered a few more words, and the person shouting next to him continued to shout: "Obviously there is no confidence, obviously there is no chance of winning, and you can only rely on pretending to be idle fishing to look forward to retreating from the enemy, pretending to be like this, as a great general, it is sad and pitiful!" ”

Tang Pidi looked at his soldiers and asked, "You have been with me for a long time, you should know my character, reply for me, don't lose my momentum." ”

His own military captain was a young man, in his twenties, with a good appearance, and a tiger's back and an ape's waist.

The lieutenant's name is Jiang Huo, and he smiled and said, "The subordinates have the courage to reply for the general." ”

He looked at the south bank of the river and replied loudly: "The general is not here to fish, the general is here to collect firewood." ”

He raised his finger and pointed to the banner of the Chu army: "The general said that our army needs firewood to make a fire and cook, and the food eaten by the soldiers of our Ning army cannot be burned with ordinary firewood, so it takes 3,000 flagpoles of the Chu army." ”

He smiled, "You don't have enough at this time, go back and get some more." ”

The people on the other side were furious.

"Bold!"

The general of the Chu army who shouted before said angrily: "The traitor is so rampant, he can shoot you to death now!" ”

Jiang Huo looked at Tang Pidi, and Tang Pidi smiled and said, "I can barely go back just now, think about how to go back." ”

Jiang Huo pondered for a moment and then shouted loudly: "The arrow pole is not easy to burn, and we are not short of it, if you are afraid of death, you can throw the flagpole over." ”

The general of the Chu army with the mask commanded in a low voice

Bang.

The general who shouted immediately raised his hand: "Release the arrow!" ”

Thousands of cavalry, not everyone can shoot feather arrows to this position, stop along the river embankment, how can it be possible that the cavalry in the distance on the left and right can also send the feather arrows so far accurately.

However, the cavalry of the Chu army that was facing Tang was also hundreds.

With a single order, hundreds of arrows rained down almost simultaneously.

When Jiang Huo heard the shout of the arrow, he had already grabbed the infantry shield in his hand.

"Shield!"

He burst into a loud snort.

The soldiers surrounded it with shields and formed a small fortress.

Feathered arrows came in dense packs, and it didn't take long for the shield array to be filled with arrows, as if a layer of white thatch had grown.

The Chu army let go of the arrows for a while, but it was difficult to penetrate the Ning army's giant shield.

All the cavalry who came were cavalry, and if the infantry arrived, with a heavy weapon such as a ballista, it would naturally be able to break it.

After a long time, the Chu army stopped firing arrows, and the shield array slowly opened.

Jiang Huo shouted towards the other side: "The general said, thank you Brother Chu Jun for sending arrows, but I said just now, I don't need your arrows." ”

He ordered: "Pull out all the arrows and throw them away." ”

The soldiers of the Ning army pulled out the feather arrows from their shields, threw them into the river casually, and drifted away with the current.

Jiang Huo said: "Your arrows are too poor, shoddy, and not worthy of our bows." ”

Tang Pidi got up and said, "It's almost, go back to the camp." ”

The pro-soldiers protected themselves with a shield array and slowly retreated.

On the Chu army's side, a general asked Yuwen Shangyun: "General, what do you think?" ”

Yuwen Shangyun didn't push the mask up just now, because he didn't want Tang Pidi to recognize him.

At this time, seeing Tang Pi walking away, he pushed his face armor up.

"It's a bluff indeed."

Yuwen Shangyun said with a smile: "The more you pretend to be so light-hearted, the more you look at it like this, the more you really have no confidence." ”

"But then again, a leader can match Tang like this, and there are few in the world, and it is indeed a rare talent."

Although he was sure that Tang did not have many soldiers and horses on his side, which was something he had seen with his own eyes, he still did not rashly attack directly.

He wanted to see more, to test more, which is the caution of a leader.

"Send someone to build a bridge to cross the river."

Yuwen Shangyun said with a smile: "Before we went north, Prince Wu said that there was a young general in the Ning army named Tang Pidi, who was a rare person at that time, so let me deal with it carefully." ”

"No matter how strong Tang is, there are no soldiers in his hands...... Pass my general order, within one day, the army will cross the river, and without waiting, directly storm the camp of the Ning army. ”

An hour later, the Chu infantry of the brigade arrived, and the auxiliaries went down the river to build a wooden bridge in the river.

The river was not wide, and the wooden bridges were built very quickly, and it didn't take long for dozens of simple bridges to be erected on the river.

Nail into the stake and lay the planks on it at a very fast speed.

The ranks of the Chu army began to cross the river, as if dozens of huge pythons had crawled directly across the river.

For more than an hour, the Chu army rushed to the outside of the Ning army camp.

The horn sounded, and before the team was assembled, the Chu army directly began to attack.

However, when he rushed into the camp of the Ning army, there was no hindrance, and the camp was empty.

When they rushed to the other side of the Ning army's camp, they saw dust and smoke in the distance, and the Ning army had fled.

"I was negligent."

Yuwen Shangyun's face was a little unsightly, and he said to himself: "You shouldn't have said those words to him more, so that he was vigilant, he pretended to be nothing by the river, and fled with his troops immediately after he came back." ”

After pondering for a moment, he smiled again: "But it can also be seen that Tang is powerless to fight, and ordered the whole army to chase after Nanping River." ”

The horn sounded again, and the Chu army immediately reorganized its ranks and marched towards the Nanping River.
