When the map is opened, it is a map centered on Zhongning City, and some of the locations, peaks, and water flows drawn on it are very detailed.

Xu Xiang held a small bamboo stick in his hand, pointed to Zhongning City, and said: "Now the defenders of Zhongning City are only 20,000, and it is a little difficult to hold the city. ”

"There are 50,000 enemy troops, all of them are blocked at our south gate, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. As he continued, Li Wuping nodded approvingly.

"This is the Ningjiang River, which originates from the Yellow River, passes through Ningdu and Zhongning City, stretches through Ningshan Mountain, and flows into the boundary of Tongxin City. The enemy is camped with his back to Ningjiang, and if we can have an army through Ningjiang and go straight to the enemy's rear, we can cause chaos in every inch of the enemy. ”

Therefore, in the march and battle, all armies attach great importance to their backs, either as backers or backers, and they must be sure that their backs are safe enough before they march.

"Your Highness, although it is said that you can find a way to land from Ningjiang and go around behind the enemy's army. However, the enemy will definitely take precautions against Ningjiang's side, right? And...... Zhongning City can't be recruited! Li Wuping said.

Li Wuping naturally agreed with him, above the battle formation, he generally attaches great importance to his back, which is why some cities can't be defeated, but they can't bypass the city to take down a city.

Imagine, if the two sides are fighting, and an army suddenly comes from their backs, they will be caught between two sides, and the formation will be chaotic, which is very unfavorable to the battle situation.

"General Li, in addition to these 10,000 people, Prince Ben has already ambushed 10,000 people at the foot of Ning Mountain. Once Ningjiang's 10,000 men succeed in sneaking up on the enemy's back, you will lead the army out of the city, pursue the enemy's rout, and force it to Ningshan. When the time comes, the enemy will be broken by attacking from three sides! ”

"Yes! Your Highness! The last general commands! ”

"Prince Ben has been prepared for a long time! Three days ago, I had ordered 10,000 troops to go up from the Ningjiang River and sneak around behind the enemy. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone's eyes showed a look of joy, and they said again and again: "Then we have a chance to win!" ”

In fact, there is nothing to prepare for, it is just a play, last night Changsun Mingying secretly came to the army and told Xu Xiang's plan.

At the end of the meeting, the rear camp of the feigned garrison was attacked, and the entire army began to disorganize, thus luring the defenders of Zhongning City out of the city.

The sun slowly rose from the east, and Li Wuping ordered the soldiers to eat and drink enough to prepare for the next big battle.

And the army under the city walls also began to cook fires in preparation for the next big battle.

Many of the soldiers had not slept all night, and they looked at the enemy camp under the city wall with great anxiety and expectation.

Xu Xiang, on the other hand, was not as nervous as them, so he deliberately asked someone to bring a recliner and lay on it very leisurely, with a look of victory on his face.

As long as the main force of the defenders of Zhongning City is lured out, then the defenders will soon find that they are not surrounded by themselves, but by others, and they can only surrender.

As long as the main force of Zhongning City is dealt with, Zhongning City will naturally not be able to hold it.

"I don't know." The eldest grandson, Mingying, shook his head.

Li Wuping walked over and explained: "Your Highness, this is a kind of ground fruit unique to our Zhongning City, this fruit is ripe every winter, but it has no taste after ripening. At first, no one ate it, but then some people picked it and stored it in the cellar until April and May, when they took it out and ate it, only to find it very sweet. As a result, it has become a unique kind of land fruit in Zhongning City. ”

"Your Highness." The eldest grandson, Mingying, brought the peeled fruit to his mouth, and he opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Well, sweet! What kind of fruit is this? Xu Xiang felt a refreshing coolness and sweetness, but he had never eaten it.

"I see!" Xu Xiang nodded, this kind of fruit was different from the fruit he was familiar with.

The sugar and water content of this fruit were very high, and he felt that it was a little sweet when he ate two of them, much sweeter than those sugar canes in later generations.

"Oh? After picking it, put it in the cellar, won't it spoil? Why is it not picked in April or May, but so early? Xu Xiang asked suspiciously.

At that time, people wondered if it would be a fruit that would not ripen until April or May, so they planned to wait until April or May to pick it. However, in the winter, as soon as the frost hits, all the fruit falls to the ground, and within a few days it rots! Only if you store it all in a dry cellar will it not rot! ”

"It's not that no one sells it, after all, most people grow this kind of fruit tree......

"Oh? Is it? Is this fruit tree easy to grow? Generally, after planting, fruit trees can bear fruit in a few years? Xu Xiang asked again.

"General Li, how much does this fruit cost in Zhongning City?" He remembered that there was no sugar in the world, because sugar cane was not abundant, and he had not found the sugar cane species.

If the price of this fruit is not high and it is easy to produce, it can be used as a substitute for sugar cane to make sugar.

Xu Xiang was a little disappointed and said:

"You go and ask someone, see who knows, and report it quickly......"

Li Wuping was stunned, how could he, as the defender of a city, pay attention to this kind of thing? He didn't know why His Royal Highness the Prince would pay attention to such a thing?

"This ...... I don't know. ”

At this moment, the soldiers on the city wall let out a burst of alarm, which reached the ears of several people.

Xu Xiang sat up from the recliner, then got up again, and said, "This prince's people have attacked!" ”

"There is a situation in the enemy camp!"

"Go and tell the general! There is a riot in the enemy camp! ”

The cavalry's charging and shouting of killing, accompanied by all kinds of screams and fleeing sounds, many soldiers lost their armor and could only flee in the direction of Zhongning City.

Seeing the soldiers scattered and fleeing everywhere, Li Wuping was very excited, and said with emotion: "Your Highness's black-armored cavalry is really powerful!" Kill the enemy so quickly that you lose your armor and scatter in all directions! ”

Li Wuping and others followed Xu Xiang to the edge of the city wall, and looked towards the camp of the enemy camp outside the city, only to see that there was a riot in the rear camp of the enemy army.

Then all the battalion sergeants began to be in disarray, and a black cavalry burst into the camp from behind, and chased the unprepared battalion soldiers into the camp, driving them to flee in all directions.

Your Highness, this is to lift yourself up and give yourself the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!

So, Li Wuping began to order generals, and all the partial generals and captains he pointed out were ready to go out of the city with their soldiers, leaving only part of the garrison to defend the city.

Xu Xiang smiled slightly and said: "General Li, don't miss the opportunity, although the enemy army has a lot of losses, it has not been completely defeated!" If they are given time, they will reorganize and resist! This prince ordered you to quickly lead 15,000 people out of the city, and the black-armored cavalry to block the enemy army together, and be sure to annihilate the enemy under the city! ”

"Yes! The last general commands! Li Wuping said excitedly, he can see clearly that the situation under the city has become relatively clear, if his new force goes down, it will inevitably form an encirclement of the enemy forces outside the city, and victory is within reach.

Xu Xiang felt that this person was a talent, and he couldn't bear to lose his life, so he opened his mouth to keep him.

Liao Wenping saw that this kind of good opportunity to go out of the city to kill the enemy did not have his own share, and he was not very happy in his heart.

"Captain Liao will stay in the city!" Xu Xiang saw that Li Wuping had already mobilized the soldiers, and spoke.

When these people went out of the city, they directly entered the trap of the eldest grandson Mingyue, according to Liao Wenping's character, it is estimated that he is the one who rushes to the front, and that is basically nine deaths.

"Why?" Liao Wenping was very puzzled, his heart was always on the battlefield, and other people could go out of the city to kill the enemy, why couldn't he himself?

Li Wuping also wanted Liao Wenping to get out of the city, after all, such a powerful captain could play a role in the battle situation to a certain extent.

"Your Highness, you are willing to go out of the city to kill the enemy in order to repay Your Highness's kindness!" Liao Wenping knelt in front of Xu Xiang and asked for battle.

Xu Xiang glanced at him and said lightly: "You stay in the city." ”

Liao Wenping was just a lieutenant after all, and his immediate boss was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only look at Li Wuping with resentful eyes.

Looking at those colleagues on the city wall, one by one, they all went down to lead their subordinates, preparing to leave the city, and his eyes showed a glint of envy.

Seeing that Xu Xiang wanted to keep Liao Wenping, he naturally didn't dare to say anything. But Liao Wenping is still so stubborn, which will displease His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince.

So, he slapped Liao Wenping's head and reprimanded: "Your Highness asked you to stay, naturally there is a reason for Your Highness!" All you have to do is stay and defend the city! ”

Li Wuping was riding on his horse, and the shouts and killings around him continued, and he had already rushed into the camp, vaguely feeling that something was not right.

When he was on the city wall, he saw that there were many people running outside the camp, and the direction was Zhongning City.

It didn't take long for the gate of Zhongning City to open, and Li Wuping held the big knife in his hand, raised it high, and shouted: "Brothers! Kill the enemy with me! Come on! ”

The cavalry at the front rushed out as fast as they could, towards the large camp outside the city.

However, when he was about to rush to the gate of the enemy camp, he found that no soldiers had escaped from the camp again, and there was not a single soldier at the gate of the camp.

There's something wrong with that, why doesn't it feel like it's messed up anymore? Those shouts of killing also seem to be deliberate, not like a real fight at all!

However, after the gate of Zhongning City was opened, the soldiers who ran towards Zhongning City immediately turned around and fled around the enemy camp to the rear of the camp.

He felt that there was nothing at the time, after all, there were enemies behind his back, and the city wall in front of him was also out of the enemy army, so they could only find a way to run in the direction of Tongxin City, that is, the rear of the camp.

Li Wuping's face changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Let the rear formation be the front formation, and all exit the camp!" ”

The enemy's camp only saw messy and broken baggage everywhere, but there was not a single corpse, and even if the Black Armor Army did not rush to this position, there might not be a single corpse, and there was no blood in the camp!

"General, something is wrong!" A biased general also seems to have noticed that something is wrong.

"There are 50,000 of them, and the ones who escaped just now are less than 10,000, could it be that the 10,000 black armor army of His Highness is so powerful that it can hold back 40,000 people?" Another spoke up.

On the wall of Zhongning City, what Liao Wenping saw was that after Li Wuping led 15,000 men to rush into the camp, the Black Armor Army suddenly declined and was forced to retreat.

The enemy troops who had fled from the rear of the camp went around to the front of the camp again, trapping Li Wuping in the camp.

Obviously, it's a trick!

Li Wuping didn't know what was wrong, and now he didn't have time to think about it, quitting the enemy camp was the most important thing!

If at this time, an army kills from Zhongning City, it can cause damage to the army that has not yet completed the siege of Li Wuping's army, and Li Wuping can also take the opportunity to escape.

Therefore, Xu Xiang wanted to stay in the city and leave behind the 3,000 soldiers in the city who could fight.

"Your Highness! Why did your Black Armor Army retreat? General Li is about to be surrounded by enemy troops, what can I do? Liao Wenping knew that if Li Wuping was surrounded, it was estimated that he would be more than lucky, so he hurriedly asked Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang didn't have any surprises, because this was his plan with the eldest grandson Mingyue, pretending to be a sneak attack, the camp was chaotic, and all the defenders of Zhongning City were transferred out. The 10,000-strong Black Armor Army was also disguised by the Chengfeng Army.

Seeing this, Liao Wenping thought that the Black Armor Army was planning to rescue Li Wuping from the main gate of the camp, so he felt a lot more relieved.

Li Wuping turned the back of the soldiers into the front formation, and ran frantically outside the camp, but before he could run out, he was stopped by the soldiers.

So, he said, "What's the hurry? ”

Sure enough, the black-armored army that had been repulsed came around from the left side, intending to go around to the main entrance of the camp.

The war was about to break out, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded outside the entire Zhongning City.

In just one face, Li Wuping found that he had lost many people around him, his face was splashed with blood, and rushing out was his only way.

And the other soldiers in the camp were also outflanked, and Li Wuping fell into the encirclement!

"Brothers, follow me out of the encirclement!" Li Wuping shouted loudly, and soon met the enemy troops who rushed over.

"Nope! Wrong! Mistaken! Liao Wenping shouted loudly.

However, no matter how loud his voice is, the black-armored army under the city can't hear it!

Liao Wenping watched the black armor army get closer and closer to the main gate of the camp, and his heart was already very anxious, and he silently thought in his heart: "Hurry up!" Hurry up and support General Li! ”

However, to his great surprise, it was ...... The long knives of the Black Armor Army are not aimed at the enemy, but at the soldiers of Zhongning City!

……

Seeing that a large number of soldiers in Zhongning City had died under the butcher's knives of the Black Armor Army, he hurriedly ran to Xu Xiang, knelt down and begged: "Your Highness! Your Black Armor is mistaken! Please allow Your Highness to go out of the city and rescue General Li! ”

"Wrong! Kill the wrong person! Liao Wenping shouted hysterically!

"......" Xu Xiang was speechless for a while, this Liao Lieutenant is really ...... Silly cute!

He still hasn't figured out what's going on, and he still doesn't know that this black armor army is pretending......

Xu Xiang was a little unbearable.
