Lu Xu led an army of 60,000 to the south to make meritorious contributions.

After Gonggong Zhu and Li Yuanfang left Longcang City, they joined Xiao Rui, this time thanks to Ah Zhu, otherwise it would be almost impossible to deceive Lu Xu!

Two days later.

The scouts who followed Lu Xu's army came back, but Lu Xu didn't react that it was a plan, and he didn't return with his troops as planned, and he had already marched more than 100 miles, even if he rushed back now, it was too late.

So the second set of plans began.

Ah Zhu once again pretended to be Zhu's father-in-law, and took advantage of the night to return to Longcang City with twenty or thirty iron dragoon soldiers, Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei, and Yang Youji were among them, and this time they also carried the only remaining gunpowder.

They went and returned, and the two Zhaowu captains under Lu Xu who stayed in Longcang City were not suspicious.

At this time, Gonggong Zhu smiled and said: "Two generals, our family found the tiger talisman, so we hurried back, but unfortunately General Lu has already gone south, and I asked the two generals to send someone to send the tiger talisman to General Lu for verification, and then bring it back to our family!" ”

As he spoke, Gonggong Zhu took out a brocade box, but the mouth of the brocade box was sealed.

The two Zhaowu lieutenants hesitated for a moment, but then agreed. Although according to the rules, it is necessary for Qin Cha and the commander to take out the tiger talisman in front of them for comparison, but since Gonggong Zhu let them go, I think it is a trust in them, and the two are only six-rank military generals, how dare they refute it.

As a result, a Zhaowu lieutenant led three hundred cavalry to ride lightly and chased Lu Xu's army overnight, and this commotion had already passed the time.

Gonggong Zhu said that he was tired, so he was naturally invited into the wing room to rest.

At the end of the day, there is darkness between heaven and earth, and this is also the time when a person is most tired and sleepy.

Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei, Yang Youji and other soldiers quietly touched out of the room, and then divided into two ways.

Yoyuki led eight detonators to the outside of the grain cellar in the city, and with Yoyuki's superb archery skills, he directly shot the guards in, and then planted gunpowder outside the building of the grain cellar and lit it!

Boom...

The lids of more than a dozen grain cellars were overturned, revealing the grain inside, and the scattered firelight fell into the grain, and the already dry old grain was instantly ignited.

The sound of the explosion also woke up the soldiers in Canglong City, and they ran out of the camp to observe, and saw the flames of the fire in the grain cellar.

The captain of Zhaowu didn't know the existence of gunpowder, thinking that it was a dry thunder falling from the sky, which hit the grain cellar and caused the fire, but he was also curious, this thunder was too dense, and more than a dozen sounded together, revealing strangeness.

But at this time, he couldn't care so much, and immediately arranged for the defenders in the city to start extinguishing the fire, and the grain and grass were burned, and he couldn't afford it, so fortunately only burned these grain cellars.

And just when the soldiers in the city hurriedly began to extinguish the fire, Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei and other soldiers hiding next to the city gate went out and directly shot the surrounding city defenders, and together they opened the huge city gate that was nearly two zhang high and the door panel was more than 20 centimeters thick.

If it weren't for the cooperation between the inside and the outside, and he wanted to storm this city gate, Xiao Rui's 5,000-person iron dragoon would be wishful thinking!

At this time, outside the city, Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang led the iron dragon horse, wrapped cloth on the horse's hooves, and touched it in the night. The sound of the explosion was the signal, so they rushed directly to kill, and it happened that Li Yuanfang opened the city gate!

The two sides cooperated quite closely, and just like that, the Iron Dragoon rode into Longcang City!

And when Captain Zhaowu, who arranged to extinguish the fire, knew that the city gate was lost and the enemy had already killed, he was still in a state of confusion, why did the good city gate be lost?

It's a pity that before he could lead his troops to fight back, he was shot by Yoyuki with an arrow!

Under the leaderless group of dragons, the 20,000 Qi army was also very confused, and some soldiers were still busy fighting the fire, when they suddenly found a large number of heavy armored cavalry rushing over.

……

In the wee hours of the morning, dawn broke.

At this time, there was a tragedy in Longcang City, the Qi army had been wiped out, all the grain cellars were also ignited, all the 198 large grain cellars were ignited, the flames went straight to the sky, the grain cellars were connected into a sea of fire, and the huge Longcang City turned into purgatory, and the red sky could be seen clearly from dozens of miles away.

The corpses of those Qi soldiers were reduced to ashes in this purgatory.

The people of Chaoyang City had long seen the flames that rose to the sky, but the soldiers of Chaoyang City did not dare to send troops, but locked the city gate and cowered in it, they were afraid that Chaoyang City would be like this.

Looking at the burning flames, Xiao Rui felt that he was short of a feather fan, if the feather fan flashed lightly in his hand, it would be gone, and he could pretend to be a good hand.

Now that Longcang City has been solved, it is time to go south next, but it is not to leave Qi State, but the third plan!

Zhang Liang uses a plan, likes a chain plan, after a plan, it is interlocking, and the smallest effort brings the greatest victory.

The same is true for this plan for Longcang City.

It is said that the captain of Zhaowu caught up with Lu Xu, who was marching south, with a tiger talisman.

Lu Xu is happy in life, he has already thought of a plan, since the army of the East Road of the Xia Kingdom will take Pingquan directly, then he will not go to Pingquan, but go around Jianchang, copy the old bottom of the army of the Xia State from behind, once the other party retreats, he will cut off the morale of the other party, and then he can annihilate the other party!

Knowing that his subordinates were here to send the tiger talisman to Gonggong Zhu to verify the authenticity, Lu Xu smiled and said: "Gonggong Zhu is really lucky, he was able to find the lost tiger talisman, this is God's protection for him, and losing the tiger talisman is a serious crime!" ”

As he spoke, he took the brocade box handed by Captain Zhaowu, and after opening it, the smile on his face stopped abruptly, and the whole person was stunned!

Where is the tiger talisman in the brocade box, it is obviously a stone!

And Xiao Rui shamelessly drew a heart on it!

Captain Zhaowu glanced at it, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "My lord, my subordinates don't dare to open the brocade box without permission!" This... This... How did this turn to stone? ”

Lu Xu trembled suddenly, his body suddenly felt a chill to the bone, his eyes were full of anger, and he roared: "It's not good, it's not good!" Ben will be tricked! ”

"Tricked?" The faces of the other generals beside him also changed drastically.

"General, is this Gonggong Zhu fake?" A lieutenant hurriedly asked.

"But he has a holy decree!" The other lieutenant hesitated.

"In the territory of Qi State, who dares to falsely preach the holy decree!"

"And that Gonggong Zhu is a person without birds at first glance!"

…

Lu Xu immediately realized that this was a game from the beginning, and took advantage of his eagerness to make a contribution to his career to deliberately design the drama of the loss of the tiger talisman, so as to let himself take away the army.

"Not good! Longcang City is in trouble! Lu Xu roared and immediately arranged for the army to return, while he took the lead in leading 10,000 cavalry to rush back.

Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang led the Iron Dragon Rider south to the vicinity of Tiantai Mountain and hid in the mountains and forests. The official road not far away leads directly to Chaoyang, which is the only way for Lu Xu, and they are stationed here, which is the third plan of Zhang Liang's serial plan.

Ready to ambush Lu Xu?

Definitely.

Zhang Liang calculated that after Lu Xu guessed the truth, he would inevitably lead the cavalry back to Longcang City, because once something happened to the granary, not only would he be finished, but it would also affect the entire southern war situation of Qi State! How derelict he was then, and he was still a sinner! He is a sinner of the Qi country!

So there is no need to ambush Lu Xu, Lu Xu is already dead, or leave it to Emperor Qi to do it himself, let him personally order to kill the general who wanted to be reused, hehe, this annoyance must be sad.

And what they want to ambush is the army behind.

Just when the iron dragoon soldiers were resting, the scout came to report that Lu Xu personally led the cavalry to the north in a hurry, roughly counting 10,000 cavalry.

After hearing this, Xiao Rui said: "The ovary is like a god, and I guessed it right!" So should we go south directly to attack the 50,000 army behind, or will we continue to wait? ”

"Wait!" Zhang Liang decided to be cautious, if they had enough men, they could rest assured that they could be tough. And he was also worried that if he really revealed his whereabouts and went south directly to harden the 50,000 people, in case Lu Xu went and returned, and attacked them on both sides with the 50,000 army, then the advantage would become a disadvantage.

Although Lu Xu is now red-eyed and bent on rushing back to Longcang City, he is not a brainless person, and he should guess that Longcang City cannot be saved.

If he wants to survive in the case that Longcang City can't be saved, how can he save himself?

Maybe capturing or killing Xiao Rui can become his only bargaining chip to survive, so if Zhang Liang is in Lu Xu's position, he will use the army as bait to lure out the Iron Dragon Rider and eliminate Xiao Rui at any cost.

Of course, this is Zhang Liang, and Lu Xu may not do this. But for the sake of prudence, Zhang Liang was reluctant to take risks.

So they continued to wait.

After a long time, the army of 50,000 appeared behind.

Because the cavalry was taken away by Lu Xu first, the remaining 50,000 troops were mainly infantry, and the infantry was subdivided into archers, shield bearers, spearmen, pikemen, etc., and of course, there were also baggage teams and auxiliaries responsible for escorting grain and grass.

The Qi army is defending on the mainland, so naturally there is no need to carry siege equipment, and Lu Xu did not even carry large long-range attack equipment such as trebuchets for the sake of his soldiers. When this army of 50,000 passed by Tiantai Mountain, Xiao Rui ordered the iron dragoons who were already ready to assemble, and when the enemy army left the mountainous terrain and the terrain was open, the iron dragoons charged!

The sudden heavy armored cavalry in the rear made the Qi army chaotic, and then they set up defensive camps to defend, but they were pitiful for their 50,000 horses, and they didn't even think of attacking!

At the moment of Dian Wei's horse, the entire iron dragoon turned into an arrow cluster formation, plunging directly into the enemy, and the fierce steel torrent rushed over, making the infantry Qi army feel powerless, and cursed!

This is bullying!

Since ancient times, heavy cavalry has been the overlord of the battlefield.

In the previous life, Ran Min in the Sixteen Kingdoms relied on heavy armored cavalry to frequently defeat tens of thousands of enemy soldiers with thousands of men and horses! This is not a purposeless situation, but a real situation!

Although Xiao Rui and the others have been in the Qi country for nearly a month, they have also fought a lot of battles and killed a lot of Qi troops, but most of them use stratagems to sneak attack, and there is no real toughness.

This is the moment to truly show the majesty of the heavy cavalry.

"Kill!" Dian Wei, who was wrapped in Mingguang armor, raised his halberd, and the iron dragoon behind him let out a roaring roar.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the qi ran through Changhong, although there were only 5,000 people, but they carried the momentum like thousands of troops, like a sharp blade, directly sprinting to the Qi army array, instantly cutting the entire phalanx and falling into chaos.

The history books go to the clouds: "With iron cavalry as the front army, riding good horses, heavy armor, and stabbing inaccessible; In case of battle, the iron cavalry will break through the formation first, and the chaos will impact it! ”

It can be seen what a terrible nightmare for an elite heavy cavalry for the enemy phalanx!

It is in this open place that the characteristics of the Iron Dragoon are fully utilized!

Charge!

Flank encirclement!

Cut the phalanx!

The terrifying combat power actually defeated the opponent's 50,000 army one after another!

At this moment, Xiao Rui realized that he was too protective of this team, and the real way of fighting for the Iron Dragoon was to charge head-on, rather than stratagem!

Half an hour later, the Qi army completely collapsed, and then fled.

They lacked a commander and command, and they were unable to inflict effective damage on the heavily armored cavalry, and the morale of the army was already weak, and when they encountered the murderous iron dragoons, the defeat was obvious!

The Qi army suffered heavy casualties and fled, but Xiao Rui did not continue to fight.

After all, being in the territory of Qi State, lacking reserve force support and supplies, the cautious Xiao Rui still didn't want to put the Iron Dragon Rider in danger. If there are 10,000 light cavalry now, then Xiao Rui is confident that he will completely annihilate the other party. The heavy armored cavalry rushed to disrupt the opponent's camp, and the light armored cavalry outflanked and encircled and suppressed, and it was a seamless routine to cooperate!

Now I can only watch the enemy flee in all directions.

Xiao Rui ordered the Iron Dragoon to end the battle, and then rode his horse south to join the Xia army!
