Chapter 423: The Yellow Sparrow is behind
Wei Yan, you husband! Dare to go head-to-head with Ben General!? ”
Joy is tearing,
shouted angrily.
"Heads-up?"
Wei Yan pursed his lips with disdain,
didn't even bother to respond,
Impatiently continued to wave his hand,
The archers behind him shot more often.
Fortunately, at this time, the retreat has been unblocked,
Le is under the protection of the guards beside him,
galloping towards Xiping City,
At this time, a faint light appeared on the horizon.
Wei Yan drove the war horse forward gently,
I don't care about Yuan Shujun who fled in a hurry,
It seems that they don't want to take advantage of this opportunity to collect more military exploits.
The leader of the pro-soldiers next to him couldn't help but hit his horse and said:
"General, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"
Wei Yan did not answer the questions of his subordinates,
He asked rhetorically and said:
"Just now we ambushed in the camp, only surrounded on three sides, but the encirclement let go of the way, do you know why?"
The leader of the pro-soldiers pondered for a long time,
He replied slowly:
"The general once said that the book of war says: 'Surround three ques and one', in which the "que" means "gap". This means emphasizing the need to leave gaps when encircling the enemy. Under such circumstances, if the enemy is surrounded on all sides, it is likely to prompt the enemy army to make up its mind to break the net. Conversely, if a gap is deliberately left behind, it can cause the enemy to vacillate between flight and death, and at the same time demoralize the enemy soldiers. More importantly, leaving a gap is not to leave it alone, but to set up an ambush in the place where the enemy must escape, so that the enemy will fall into an ambush circle in the process of hasty escape. ”
Wei Yan nodded with satisfaction,
"Haha, that's a good point!"
At this time, the leader of the pro-soldiers suddenly reacted,
His eyes lit up and he said:
"The general means to say ......"
Wei Yan winked at the leader of the pro-soldiers and said:
"Just know it in your heart, it's so boring to say it, hahaha!"
The leader of the pro-soldiers held out a thumb in convincing,
Most of Yuan Shujun's army has already left the camp,
Only then did Wei Yan order the troops to slowly retract and follow.
Le finally escaped from the camp,
Xiping City is in front of you,
The morning sun has jumped out of the horizon,
The glow pierced the entire sky,
Le looked back at the camp with palpitations,
I found that Lu Bujun was slowly advancing towards this side,
The speed is not in a hurry or slow,
Instead, it's like a veteran hunter who is teasing his prey.
Joy saw this scene,
The heart stopped beating a few beats for no apparent reason,
It's as if something terrible is about to happen.
His brow furrowed,
Looking back at the head of Xiping City,
There is nothing like that,
Very calm,
The guards are also dutifully standing at the head of the city.
"Wait!"
Le suddenly grabbed the reins of the war horse,
With an ugly face, he looked back at the pursuers behind him again,
Then he looked at the head of Xiping City,
Lips couldn't help but tremble.
Involuntarily stopped the warhorse,
He stopped,
The footmen who followed behind him were unknown,
But it can only stop in place,
There was a commotion in the ranks,
"General, what's wrong?"
A pro-soldier stepped forward,
looked at Le's ugly face,
There was a hint of panic in my heart,
Still, he dutifully said:
"The pursuers of Lu Bu's army are behind, and the general ......"
Le said that his expression was a little bitter,
Looking back at the soldiers who were following behind him,
Still didn't say the guess in my heart,
Shen Sheng ordered to his own soldiers:
"Order someone to go forward and call for the city gate to open, and the rest of the people will wait here to prepare for battle!"
The soldier's face changed when he heard this,
I want to ask,
After seeing Le's ugly face,
Wisely swallowed the words back,
Turn around and go down to give orders.
As expected, after Yuan Shujun heard the order,
There was a lot of commotion,
But it quickly subsided,
Everyone obediently obeyed the order.
A Dubble walked to the gate of the city with a big grin,
He shouted haughtily:
"What about people? Are you blind? When I saw that General Le was back, I didn't hurry up to open the door! Didn't Mr. Shi explain it to you? Fuck ......."
seems to want to behave well in front of Le,
This Dubo roared very hard,
The momentum like a rainbow wants to swallow the sky and the earth.
The imaginary scene did not appear,
There are still a few guards at the head of the city,
Not even a single man looked at the army under the city,
The Dubo's face turned the color of pig's liver,
Pointing at the guards at the head of the city, he scolded,
After a while, a figure finally appeared on the city,
is a military general in armor,
The warrior went to the head of the city,
Slowly took off the helmet,
showed a young face,
But not one of the people in the city knew the young man.
Nadu Bo stretched out his hand and pointed at the young man and said:
"Little rabbit cub, when you see the general coming back, you don't open the city gate quickly, isn't it that you are tired and crooked at a young age?"
But the young man said to Dub, whose name was loud,
I don't even have the interest to answer,
Looking directly at the joy of being surrounded by everyone,
The meaning is obvious,
Your identity is not worth my answer.
Duber's face was blue with anger,
lifted a breath,
was about to open his mouth and shout and curse,
Suddenly I felt a gentle tap on the shoulder,
Dubo is worried that he has nowhere to spill,
Before he could turn his head, he opened his mouth and scolded:
"it, who the ......"
The words were only halfway said and then came to an abrupt end,
Because he saw that it was Le himself who patted him on the shoulder,
All of a sudden, the little anger in my heart,
Disappear at once,
turned into a chill in my heart,
I shuddered involuntarily.
Fortunately, Le didn't pursue this guy's disrespectful crime,
Gently clamped the horse's belly and slowly took two steps forward,
Now that he's completely calm,
also instantly understood his own situation at this time,
It seems that there is no way back for me,
It turned out that Lu Bujun came unhurriedly,
It's really playing tricks on yourself,
Because Xiping City has been taken down by them.
Although there are quite a few people in his own army,
But after last night's ambush,
More than two thousand people have been lost,
Now there are only six or seven thousand men and horses,
Most of the soldiers were still tired and demoralized.
And last night in pursuit of the swiftness of the camp,
In addition to the armor on the body and the weapons in the hands,
He didn't carry any heavy grain or grass at all.
Now the army has retreated,
Not only did the gate of Xiping City not open,
At the same time, there is such a strange situation in the city,
All of them illustrate the fact that Xiping City has changed hands,
Le just wants to ask for clarification now.
He looked up, and the sun was shining right in the direction of the city,
A layer of golden light was plated on the young man standing at the head of the city,
It's really like the god of the heavenly palace,
Le gently hugged his fists and said:
"Little general, below is the general of the Zhong clan and the west of the town, please ask the little general Gao's surname."
A stiff smile appeared on the young man's face,
Slightly returned the salute and hugged his fists:
"Merge the state, the pioneer Wei Yan's former soldiers, Xu Cheng."
Hearing Xu Cheng report to his home,
The corners of Le's mouth couldn't help twitching fiercely,
He didn't know Xu Cheng,
But looking at the man's age and his bearing,
I thought that this person was also a somewhat famous general,
As a result, I didn't expect it,
It's not even a Dubo,
It's just a mere soldier,
Le thought that the other party was trying to play with himself,
That's just a fake identity fabricated at will,
Taking a deep breath,
calmed down the anger that was about to erupt,
Lang Sheng said:
"Little general, dare to ask where my husband is when you enter the city?"
When Le asked this sentence,
Clenched his hands into fists,
The ambush of Lu Bujun's army is okay to say,
But the timing of this sudden occupation of Xiping City is too ingenious,
He couldn't help but suspect Shi Rui's body.
Xu Cheng didn't answer,
After bending down, he lifted up an object at his feet,
Without waiting for the people of the city to see the things clearly,
was thrown down by him.
"Tom, tom, tom......"
It was a bloody human head,
Although I haven't yet identified the face of the human head,
But the heart of joy has sunk,
Sure enough, it was really Shi Rui's head,
His eyes were wide open, and he was filled with anger and disbelief.
Le stared at the head whose blood was gradually drying up and was silent for a long time,
Then he gently raised his head and asked:
"Can you help someone solve your doubts?"
The corners of Xu Cheng's mouth curled into a sneer,
Shaking his head and keeping silent,
"Surrender or die!"
For the rude words of this young general,
Le didn't pursue it,
That question was not answered,
He didn't care so much at the moment.
Turning his head, he glanced at the subordinates behind him,
Although the morale of these soldiers is still very low,
But looking at it, it's no longer as tired as Fang Cai,
In fact, as early as when I came to the city and found the strange atmosphere in the city,
Le had already realized that Xiping City must have been lost.
How many enemy troops are there in the city of Xiping,
It's hard to know for sure,
Although the enemy did not go out to fight,
It shows that the number of Lu Bu's army in the city will not be large,
However, Xiping City, as an important town in the western part of Runan,
The fortification of its walls is extraordinary.
And last night, in order to strengthen the effect of the camp,
Le led this group of soldiers,
Not equipped with baggage equipment,
I didn't even carry a ration,
After all, he went to steal the camp,
Who would have nothing to carry so much cumbersome.
So at this moment,
Facing Xiping City, which was occupied by Lu Bu's army,
If you choose to forcibly attack the city,
It was undoubtedly a suicidal attack,
If it is a strong attack, it is very likely to be captured,
But he couldn't stand the Lu Bu army, which was much more numerous than his own, and pursued it again.
Therefore, Le had already thought of evacuating from this place,
But they are tired of soldiers,
I urgently need to rest and recuperate,
Otherwise, even if you run for your life,
I can't escape much distance,
And at that time,
Exhausted, they can only accept the end of total annihilation.
At this time he is stalling for time,
Similarly, Lu Bujun is also delaying time,
Knowing that the other party must have other plans,
But at this moment, he can only do that.
"Brothers, follow me!"
Joy gently took the reins of the horse,
Leaving in a south-easterly direction,
The soldiers behind him,
After hearing this command,
Many were visibly relieved,
They are also veterans of battle,
Naturally understand your own situation at this time,
If you continue to stay here,
There was only the only result of being flanked by Lu Bu's army in front and back.
To the southeast of Xiping City is Canyang City,
This is also an important town in the northwest of Runan County.
At the same time, Yuan Shu's 30,000 troops were stationed there,
Li Feng, another general under Yuan Shu, was stationed there,
can be regarded as the second line of defense of Runan County,
Although it is a shame to retreat like this,
is even likely to be punished by Yuan Shu,
But it's much better than moving your head or burying the whole family with you.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly glanced at the ground,
The bloodstains have dried up but the dead skull of Shi Rui,
A hint of coldness suddenly crossed the depths of Le's eyes,
"Mr. Shi, at this point, you will finally do something for me, and it will be regarded as a reluctance to compensate for his difficulties. Today's results were caused by listening to your advice, and it is only natural for you to bear the consequences, isn't it......"
More than 7,000 remnants of the army will be defeated at a very fast speed,
Bypassing the city of Xiping,
Fleeing in a disorienting southeasterly direction,
Fortunately, after some rest,
The physical strength has been greatly restored,
The formation wasn't too scattered.
Above the city, Xu Cheng quietly watched Le lead the army to evacuate,
There is no intention to pursue,
Le's previous guess was correct,
At this moment there are only 2,000 soldiers in the city,
And most of them are tired,
In order to capture the city of Xiping,
They took advantage of the enemy's weakness of not knowing their own details.
This serial meter was designed.
First of all, Wei Yan deliberately exposed his flaws under Xiping City,
Let the music in Xiping City deliberately see their fatigue,
One is to let Le lead the army to steal the camp,
And Wei Yan led the men and horses to set up an ambush in the camp,
In turn, the army of Lejiao will be defeated,
At the same time, Xu Cheng led two thousand elite soldiers,
Coming from a long flight from a place where the ambush had already been laid,
Steal the city of Xiping,
That's what it looks like today.
If Le didn't bring troops to steal the camp at the beginning,
then Wei Yan will begin the siege the next day,
Surrounded but not fought, Xu Cheng's 2,000 elite soldiers,
and wreak havoc everywhere in the hinterland of Runan,
and collect all kinds of baggage materials,
As a result, the whole of Runan will also be plunged into turmoil.
Just in case that is the case,
They are also bound to fall into a passive situation,
for they do not have many troops,
Yuan Shu's command has an iron armor known as 300,000,
Such a disparity in disparity,
Once Yuan Shujun reacted,
If you can't eat and walk around, it can only be Wei Yan's troops,
And the follow-up Lu Bujun will also be as Shi Rui expected before,
will become very passive,
Then the situation on both sides will change at once.
Wei Yan led the foot soldiers and was still marching unhurriedly towards Xiping City,
The leader of the pro-soldiers beside him couldn't help but ask:
"General, now that Yuan Shujun has fled, why don't we hurry up and catch up, if we can annihilate these thousands of people under Xiping City, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
Wei Yan was obviously in a good mood,
Gently shaking the horsewhip in his hand,
A treacherous smile tugged at the corner of his mouth,
His eyes looked at the faintly visible young figure at the head of Xiping City,
"The show has just begun."
