Chapter 422: Praying Mantis Catches Cicada
Stealing the camp at night, although it can catch the opponent off guard, but it is also easy to fall into the ambush of the enemy, if it is ......"
Le hesitated.
"Hahaha, don't worry, general!"
Shi Rui turned around and looked at Le Jie with burning eyes,
Said very confidently:
"Since I have such a suggestion, I am naturally fully sure!"
"Oh?"
Le looked at Shi Rui suspiciously,
Waiting for the other party's explanation.
"General, please recall carefully, when the enemy army arrived, although it was already twilight, the morale of the enemy army was at its peak, and although our army was waiting for work, it was also unstable because of the sudden appearance of the enemy. At that time, it was still nearly two hours before the dark sky, and it was a good time to attack the city in one go, but why did the enemy give up this excellent opportunity without a large amount of baggage supplies, and instead chose to camp and fight again in the future? β
Le's eyes gradually lit up,
"Sir, are you saying that the enemy army is already overwhelmed by the long journey?"
"Exactly!"
Shi Rui raised his head and stroked his beard,
There was a little smug in his expression,
"I have also carefully inquired about the people who entered the city today, many of them are people who came from the direction of Yingchuan, and even these people have not heard of the news of a large army in the vicinity yesterday......"
Joy heard the words and his eyes lit up,
"Generally speaking, the march of a large army is not as fast as the speed of a scattered people. If none of these people had heard from the army before......"
"That proves that this army is coming on a hurry! The purpose was to catch our army off guard, but when they came to Xiping City, Wei Yan thought that he had also discovered that his soldiers could not fight for a long time, so he deliberately said those words under the city, causing huge pressure on our army, but in fact they were bluffing! β
The smile on Shi Rui's face deepened,
Xiang Le explained in detail.
Le finally had a smile on his face,
Stroking his palms and laughing:
"Hahaha, sir's words, let the order be opened suddenly!"
The smile on Shi Rui's face also bloomed,
Said proudly to Le:
"According to the following analysis, Lu Bujun is so eager, I think their cooperation is not intimate, and there is still a Jingzhou between Lu Bujun and my Runan. Lu Bujun came rashly this time, and they also needed to worry about a fire in the backyard. β
After a pause, Shi Rui continued to explain:
"If the vanguard of the LΓΌ Bu army makes contributions or stalemates outside my Xiping City, then the follow-up army will definitely refuse to retreat, and will inevitably stay in Runan, at that time, not only will our army have to deal with the pressure of the LΓΌ Bu army, but at the same time, the other princes are also very likely to fall into the ground at this time, if there is such a result, then ......"
Don't need Shi Rui to say the consequences,
The music was already in a cold sweat when I heard it,
Such a result is the last thing Runan wants to see,
But according to the general trend of the world today,
Such an outcome is also the most likely.
Le couldn't help but have a cold war,
Hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Shi Rui's arm,
It's like grasping at a life-saving straw,
He was not faithful enough to worry so much about the future of Runan.
It's just because he knows Yuan Shu's personality very well,
Once that happens,
Whether this Xiping City can be defended or not,
He is doomed to death,
The loss of Xiping City goes without saying,
Even if he could surrender,
But his family is all in Shouchun.
If Xiping is kept,
But the princes of all walks of life gathered together,
Yuan Shu will also be angry with him,
When the time comes, the end for him and his family will only be even more miserable.
Shi Rui smiled knowingly,
Le is now paying more and more attention to him,
has begun to lean on,
That's exactly what he wanted to achieve.
He doesn't have a deep background,
It's just that he has gained Yuan Shu's attention by virtue of his own talents,
It's just that I know my own business,
How much is his own pound and two?
In addition, Yuan Shu is an extremely powerful person,
Xiang Shirui, a person with no family background,
Under his men, there is generally no way to get ahead.
Therefore, Shi Rui found another way,
is ready to win over several generals under Yuan Shu's command,
With their support,
Able to climb a few steps up the same level.
"General, don't be in a hurry. Remember when I said I wanted to give you a great credit? β
Joy immediately lit up,
Thinking about it, Shi Rui did say so.
Shi Rui then explained:
"General, we still have to go back to stealing the camp. If the stealing camp is successful, the LΓΌ Bu army will definitely be defeated and retreat, and they must be defeated and returned, after the forward suffers this heavy setback, the LΓΌ Bu army will definitely think carefully about the large-scale attack on my Runan again. And there is a great possibility that they will retreat, after all, they have too many disadvantages, so the worst result is only to stay in Cao Cao's territory for a while, if other princes come to help, they can continue to march. β
Le couldn't help but smile on his face,
"At that time, our army will make some more strong gestures, and at the same time be able to ask His Majesty to increase troops to Xiping. In this way, Lu Bujun will definitely not dare to act rashly, and once it has come to this point, the other princes will definitely beat drums in their hearts, their alliance seems to be huge, but as long as the sharp spirit is suppressed in the early stage, it is impossible to gather again in the later stage. β
Speaking of this, Shi Rui raised his eyebrows towards Le,
"General, isn't this a great achievement?"
Joy has blossomed at this moment,
As if that scene was already close at hand,
Merit, fame, money, beauty,
He's got it all at his fingertips.
Shi Rui made persistent efforts:
"So, this is all the general Hongfu Qitian, this is God wants to make the general soar."
Though the heart is happy,
But he still had doubts about Shi Rui's words.
Shi Rui hurriedly explained:
"Your Majesty asked the general to come and garrison Xiping, Lu Bu's army was lightly armed and ran for a long time, and the army was left far behind. Whether it is the right time, the right place or the right people, they are all on the general's side. Is there any reason why this battle cannot be won? Isn't this God's favor? β
"Oh? So that's it! Hahaha! β
Le couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
It's night, just after the end of the day,
The moon in the sky is covered by dark clouds,
The earth fell into darkness,
This is the most weary time of the day for mankind,
It was also the darkest time before dawn.
There was silence above the city of Xiping,
The guards were already dozing off,
Even if you know that there are already enemy troops outside the city,
However, it still can't stop the onset of sleepiness.
Three miles outside the city of Xiping,
It is the location of the Lu Bu military camp,
At this time, there were only a few sporadic stations in the camp where the wind lanterns were still lit.
It's all quiet.
The other gate of Xiping City,
Slowly pushed away from the inside out,
Only a gap for five people left side by side,
Countless black shadows poured out of the cracks,
In the midst of this dark night,
Like a silent ghost,
It's just a stick of incense,
Nearly 10,000 people came out,
This is almost all the people in Xiping City.
Le is for the effect of this stealing camp,
It can be said that no effort has been spared,
And he left only five hundred guards in the city.
The rest of the more than 10,000 people were all brought out,
Just to teach Lu Bujun a painful lesson,
Although purely in terms of numbers,
is far inferior to Lu Bu's army,
But with the mind to calculate the mind,
These centaurs are already more than enough.
After quietly preparing the people,
All of them quietly hurried towards the camp of Lu Bu's army three miles away,
In this troath,
There are also nearly a thousand cavalry units,
They are all composed of happy guards,
On all the war horses' hooves,
All wrapped in a thick linen cloth,
The horse's mouth is also full of chews,
The whole army was silent,
It's like an ancient beast ready to choose a man to devour in the dark night,
Silently, he opened his fangs.
Le is at the front of the line,
He is also a fierce general under Yuan Shu,
In every battle, we must take the lead,
Therefore, he was entrusted with an important task by Yuan Shu,
He clutched an iron spear tightly in his hand.
Closer and closer to the enemy camp,
Though the night is dark,
But the flickering lights became clearer and clearer,
The excitement in Le's heart is getting stronger and stronger,
The bloodthirsty beast is also reviving,
Closer, closer,
The repulsion outside the gate of the camp has been revealed,
The rejection array is extremely messy,
Hardly any blocking effect,
It's obvious that it's in a hurry when it's placed,
Seeing this, Le was even more excited.
Two figures of shadows on the head of the city drooped their heads,
seems to have fallen asleep,
Speak without pleasure,
Dozens of arrows have been shot behind him,
The two guards were immediately pierced into hedgehogs,
"Poof! Poof! β
Two dull sounds sounded one after the other,
The gate of the camp was slammed open by the soldiers.
Immediately there was a commotion in the camp,
And there were sporadic lights.
A bloodthirsty sneer curled into the corner of Le's mouth:
"Hahaha, brothers, kill me!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! β
More than 10,000 Yuan Shujun were under the leadership of Le Yu,
The bee chrysalis rushed into the camp of the Lu Bu army,
After re-entering the gate of the camp,
Everybody is like a spreading virus,
Rushing to all corners of the barracks,
But everyone was shocked to discover the fact that
That is, there was not a single enemy soldier in the barracks.
"General, the big tent of the Chinese army is empty!"
"General, the northeast is empty!"
"No enemy troops were found in the southeast!"
"General, the guard shot in front of the camp is a dummy made of straw!"
"General, the guards above the camp are all scarecrows!"
β¦β¦
With more and more returns from the soldiers around him,
Le's expression became gloomy,
He couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart,
And then there was a chill to the bone.
"Suffered! Hit the trick! β
In the end, music is also experienced in a hundred battles,
reacted quickly,
Hurriedly shouted angrily:
"Retreat! Fall back! Give me all the retreat! β
However it is easy to rush in,
It's easy to quit and go,
Now there are still thousands of Yuan Shujun who don't know the situation outside the camp,
Rushing into the camp,
And the camp found Yuan Shujun in ambush,
But he was terrified and wanted to go back.
The two groups of men and horses immediately collided together,
Immediately it became even more chaotic,
Joy is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan,
ceases to cry out in anger,
But in this chaotic moment,
His voice was drowned out and disappeared.
The night is still pitch black,
makes the chaotic Yuan Shujun even more unbearable,
Under the sporadic lights,
Vague figures can be seen faintly.
In this most chaotic moment,
Suddenly, the sound of a sharp wind breaking through the sky came,
In this chaotic moment, I can hear it clearly,
It can be seen how loud the sound of breaking the sky is.
All of them were veterans,
After hearing this voice,
Quite a few people immediately let out a frightened shout:
"Arrows! Bow and arrow! Rain of arrows! β
"Puff puff!"
"Uh...... Yes! β
"Holy!"
"Ahββ!h
A rain of arrows fell,
Followed by the sound of countless arrows,
and the terrible screams sounded one after another from Yuan Shujun,
Then came the shouts of rage, screams, and wailing,
One after another, endlessly,
The scene became even more chaotic.
Suddenly, fire broke out on three sides of the camp at the same time,
And he lit up the whole camp as if it were day.
Countless soldiers wearing the armor of the Lu Bu army,
Appeared on the other three sides of the camp like a divine soldier descending from heaven,
Towards Yuan Shujun, he slowly surrounded him.
All the Yuan Shu soldiers in the camp immediately quieted down,
It seems that even the air has calmed down,
Only the torches in the hands of the surrounding Lu Bu soldiers crackled.
A military general came out of the crowd,
Looking at what he was wearing, it was vaguely Wei Yan who was shouting outside the city in the afternoon,
"Happy! Now that you have been ambushed by a certain family, when will you wait if you don't tie your hands and be captured!? β
Le's face is pale,
Roared in disbelief:
"Impossible! That's impossible! How could you possibly know that we were coming to steal the camp and still be able to set up such an ambush!? β
"Hehe, isn't it possible?"
Wei Yan shook his head and did not continue to respond,
It seems that he is too lazy to take care of it,
With a casual wave of his hand,
The soldiers behind him then bent their bows and arrows,
Another dense rain of arrows roared,
Yuan Shujun was confused again,
Fortunately, after the calm,
Yuan Shujun outside also knew what was happening in the camp,
began to evacuate to the rear,
The gate of the camp is not as chaotic as Fangcai,
However, this wave of arrow rain still caused a lot of losses to Yuan Shujun.
It is estimated that nearly 1,000 Yuan Shujun fell to the ground in this wave of arrows.
It's not that the archers of Lu Bujun's army are all sharpshooters who wear through Yang in a hundred steps,
It's really because Yuan Shujun's formation is too dense,
There's no room to dodge even if you want to.
"Wei Yan, you horseman! Dare to go head-to-head with Ben General!? β
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.
