Wang Bao suddenly came smart, and slapped the single knife under his waist: "I understand. The great general is luring the enemy deep. 【Fengyun Reading Network. I've heard from the book that when Zhuge Liang burned Xinye, he used this hand. Let the officers and soldiers occupy the county seat first, and then lay dry firewood in the city, and release rockets at night, and the general will definitely use this trick. ”

Bai Qi sneered: "When we went out of the city, did you see that I laid a lot of dry firewood?" ”

Wang Leopard said: "This ...... Didn't see it. ”

Bai Qi said: "Naturally, I don't, because we still want to recapture Meixian County, and if the houses are burned, it will be troublesome to build them again." ”

Lei Sheng said: "General, you are not trying to lure the enemy deeper, what are you doing?" ”

Bai Qi explained: "Our battle here is insignificant. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. Even if the three counties are lost, it doesn't matter. What matters is the big battle in Xi'an. As you know, Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou led an army of 100,000 and attacked on both sides, and the king of Qin and the leaders of the peasant army also gathered in Xi'an. As long as this battle is won, Guanzhong will no longer be the world of officials and soldiers. At that time, the three counties we lost will be able to recover without much effort. ”

Everyone else nodded.

Bai Qi continued: "The court transferred troops from Gansu to attack the three counties, but they didn't let us go to Xi'an to participate in the battle. You know, our thousands of men and horses are a strange army. With proper command, the battle can be decided. Therefore, we must not be entangled here by the army and the government. We have to rush to Xi'an as soon as possible. ”

That's when everyone understood. Lei Sheng's face was flushed, and he was very excited: "General, what are we waiting for?" Let's move on. ”

Bai Qi shook his head lightly: "You must not go like this." ”

Wang Bao didn't understand again: "Why, the soldiers are fast." ”

Bai Qi said: "As soon as we leave, the officers and soldiers will definitely follow behind and join the Xi'an battlefield." In this way, it becomes a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind. So we have to drag the officers here, for a few days, for a few days. ”

Lei Sheng said: "General, you just give the order, what you say, we will do it." ”

Bai Qi said: "There is a thousand generals in your army, named Yang Xiaonian." You call him. This man is clever. I have something to send him. ”

Lei Sheng answered, beat the horse, and after a while, brought a knight, who was Yang Xiaonian. This man is in his twenties, brave in battle, and clever, and usually comes up with some ghost ideas.

Bai Qi called him aside and whispered a few words, Yang Xiaonian nodded again and again: "Don't worry, general, I will definitely nail these turtle grandsons here." ”

Then Yang Xiaonian got on the horse and left.

Bai Qi instructed Lei Sheng Wang Leopard: "Gather elite soldiers, march to Xi'an at night, do not march during the day, and rush at night, do not make noise along the way, do not beat drums and trumpets, do not light torches, do not play flags, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law." ”

So that night, Bai Qi led 4,000 elite soldiers and quietly rushed to Xi'an. These 4,000 people were recruited when he first occupied the three counties, trained hard, and fought a few battles, so they can be regarded as veterans.

Along the way, Bai Qi only traveled at night, and rested in the mountains during the day, but whenever a pedestrian found them, they were all caught and taken away. Don't let the message leak.

And Yang Xiaonian, who stayed behind, recruited the remaining 4,000 people and circled around the three counties. After the fierce tiger occupied Meixian, he only rested for one night, and the next day he left a thousand people to defend the city, and the other 3,000 people followed him, and went straight to martial arts and Fufeng.

These two county seats, like Meixian, are already empty cities. Fierce as a tiger was overjoyed, and after leading his troops into the city, he immediately wrote to Sun Xianzu, saying that he had conquered the second county and fought with the thieves for a long time, and the thieves couldn't parry, so they fled in all directions and so on.

After the letter was sent, Meng Ruhu held a banquet in the county government to entertain his generals and soldiers.

Fierce as a tiger knew that as soon as the news of his recovery of the three counties reached the court, he would be promoted to the rank of knight immediately. Bai Qi made a lot of trouble in the three counties, and the court was very headache, and as soon as he arrived, the three counties were restored, which could be regarded as a war to become famous, and it would inevitably be reused in the future.

So he drank heartily and triumphantly.

Not long after, Sun Xianzu sent someone to send a reply, saying that he had sent the watch seal to the capital, and ordered the fierce tiger to step up the pursuit and suppression of the remnants of Bai Qi, and be sure to capture the head of the thief alive and send it to the Beijing division to sacrifice prisoners. In addition, Sun Xianzu also had a secret letter, telling Meng Ruhu that if Bai Qi led his troops east and rushed to Xi'an, he must send cavalry to intercept it.

After reading the secret letter, I thought for a moment and understood the truth. At this time, there will be a big battle under the city of Xi'an, and once Bai Qi leads his army there, it may be unfavorable to the battle situation. So he immediately sent a scout express to the east to investigate.

After several inquiries, the scouts who reported said that there was no sign of a large army marching in the east, and they had asked many people, but they had indeed not seen a man or horse passing by.

Now the fierce tiger is relieved, it seems that the white men and horses have indeed broken up.

Just as he was triumphantly resting in Wugong County, someone suddenly came to report that Bai Qi led his troops to attack the county seat of Meixian County.

Fierce as a tiger laughed: "I was worried that I couldn't find you, but you sent it to the door." He immediately ordered the whole army to assemble and march to Meixian. Fierce as a tiger knew that this was a trick by Bai Qi, luring him to divide his troops to defend the city, and then eat himself one by one. But what Bai Qi didn't know was that before he attacked the county seat, his cavalry would arrive and gather Bai Qi's men and horses outside the city.

So fierce as a tiger led 3,000 men and horses, galloping to the outside of Meixian County, and looked at it from a distance, sure enough, there were thieves attacking the county seat. The attack was quite fierce, and there was a big banner in front of the army, with a striking "white" character written on it.

Just in time, the fierce tiger led the army to launch a fierce attack, and as soon as Bai Qi saw him coming, he immediately led his troops to flee. Runs faster than a rabbit. By the time the tiger chased him to the city, there were only a few dozen dying seriously injured people left in the city. Even those who were slightly wounded fled.

Fierce as a tiger, the soldiers chased after him, and drove Bai Qi into the mountains and forests.

He didn't know, in fact, Bai Qi was not here, it was Yang Xiaonian who led the team. He will never go head-to-head with a fierce tiger, try to minimize losses, and as long as he sees a fierce tiger, he will turn around and run.

In this way, Yang Xiaonian was like a fish in water between the three counties, wandering around, elusive, and making him as fierce as a tiger and thundering, but he couldn't find anyone to fight.

It wasn't until Sun Xianzu came to the three counties that the troops in the county were strengthened, and Yang Xiaonian stopped a little.

Four days had passed by this point.

In these four days, Bai Qi led the army at night and reached the territory of Xi'an.

If you are someone else, after coming to Xi'an, you must be in a hurry to meet with the King of Qin to discuss countermeasures. But Bai Qi saw no one, and like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass, he quietly approached his prey.

He had already inquired and learned that the two sides were divided into two lines, north and south, and a decisive battle had begun. To the north, Hong Chengchou confronted Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and to the south, Li Zicheng joined the Qin army against Lu Xiangsheng.

Bai Qi naturally wanted to help the Qin army's side.

So he led his troops to Lantian and quietly stationed not too far from the camps of both sides.

Seeing the official and military camp, Lei Sheng and Wang Leopard were both going to fight, and proposed to sneak attack the enemy camp at night. Bai Qi resolutely disagreed.

He thought very clearly that he only had 4,000 men and horses, and he could not go head-to-head with the officers and troops, and he had to wait until the two armies were exhausted when the two armies were exhausted. Until then, your whereabouts must not be revealed.

Bai Qi has always been like this in the war, he is really as quiet as a virgin, and he is like a rabbit in motion. Aggression is like fire, immobile like a mountain.

He lay in ambush ten miles away with men and horses, and ordered that no fires should be made for cooking, only dry food, that the soldiers should not speak loudly, and that even the horses should be chewed, so that they would not neigh all day long.

In fact, ten miles away, the sound of horses could not reach the ears of the officers and soldiers, and Bai Qi's order was also to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Since yesterday, the righteous army and the official army began a decisive battle, Bai Qi took Lei Sheng and the other three people to watch behind the dirt slope, and watched for a day, Lei Sheng and Wang Bao wanted to lead their troops to attack several times, but they were stopped by Bai Qi. The reason is that on the first day of the two sides, it was only a tentative battle, and there was no intention of a decisive battle, so it was not appropriate to attack.

So, I finally waited until the next day.

From the very beginning, Bai Qi had a premonition that today was unusual. For the atmosphere on the battlefield, Bai Qi has an amazing sense of prediction. He could even judge from the breath of the soldiers, the neighing of the horses, the arrangement of the formation, and the movements of the main commander that the scale of the battle was.

Today's battle is by no means ordinary.

Bai Qi immediately ordered Lei Sheng to reassemble the whole army and ambush under the dirt slope, which was about five miles away from the battlefield, and then move forward when the time came.

Bai Qi and the other four watched from a distance, Sun Chuanting lit wolf smoke, Lu Xiangsheng sent Zu Kuan to help, and Li Zicheng sent Liu Zongmin to save the Qin army, they all saw it.

Bai Qi understood that the focus of the confrontation between the two sides was the Qin army. Li Zicheng and Lu Xiangsheng's side are evenly matched, and the only imbalance is Sun Chuanting and Qin Jun's side. As soon as this equilibrium point is broken, the course of the campaign will be decided.

To put it bluntly, if Sun Chuanting wins, the official army wins, and if the Qin army wins, the righteous army wins.

It's time, three days of waiting, this is the moment.

Bai Qi saw that the soldiers on both sides were a little exhausted, the shouting was hoarse, many ** were panting, and the knives and guns in their hands began to tremble, they were too tired. If it weren't for the desire to survive, they would have fallen to the ground and given up fighting.

Lei Sheng and Wang Leopard's eyes were wide open, their chests rose and fell violently, they had never seen such a big battle, and they had never seen such a fierce fight. The soldiers on both sides were biting together like mad tigers, slashing at their bodies, and their eyes did not blink, as if they did not feel at all, until one of them fell.

Bai Qi looked to the other side, four or five miles away from Sun Chuanting and the Qin army, another battle was also going on, that was Li Zicheng and Lu Xiangsheng, tens of thousands of horses took turns to fight, and they were also killed together, and they were no longer able to divide their troops and could not take care of the other side.

It's time to strike.
