Zhang Shumo got Wu Tai's promise and left Mengzhou City. Wu Tai's lieutenant general hurriedly asked Wu Tai: "General, if Zhang Shumo and they really defeat Xiu Wuzhi, should we really cooperate with him?" ”

Wu Tai glared at the lieutenant general: "My words have been released, is it possible that you can still be untrustworthy?" ”

The deputy general hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The subordinates just think that Zhang Shumo and how can he criticize our Yiyang Army." ”

Wu Tai shook his head: "You don't know, how can the person who can let Zhang Lu personally give an order be an idle person?" Zhang Lu and Zhang Shumo are both surnamed Zhang, and they can't be sure what their relationship is, so we can give Zhang Shumo a face, but we can't help but give Zhang Lu face. If he can really defeat Xiu Wuzhi, it means that he still has some means, so it doesn't hurt for us to cooperate with him. In case he soars in the future, we can also make friends with him, why not! ”

Zhang Shumo and his entourage returned to the Big Tea Castle and immediately discussed the details of the attack on Xiu Wuzhi. Through discussion, Zhang Shumo decided to let Liu Tiantian and Lu Li take 200 people into the city in batches to join Lei Zi, and then let Pang Yuan Pan Feng take 10,000 people to hide in the village north of Xiuwuzhi at night, as long as they waited until Geng Li left the city, they would launch an attack on Xiuwuzhi.

The big tea castle was led by Zhang Shumo, Jiang Bin took the Northern Route Army to replace Pang Yuan to deter Geng Li, and Shang Lei took 4,000 people to defend the city just in case.

The arrangements were made, and everyone went their separate ways. Liu naturally went to Xiuwuzhi before as a national teacher, and was worried about being recognized. So he deliberately changed into coarse cloth clothes, carried two bundles of firewood, and disguised himself as a firewood seller and mixed into the city.

There is a courtyard behind Lei Zi's cricket shop, although the place is not small, but after two hundred people enter, it is very crowded. Everyone waited here for two days in a row, and finally waited for Geng Li to leave the city.

On this day, Geng Li once again gathered troops and horses to prepare to harass the Great Tea Castle. Lei Zi immediately ordered people to go out of the city in advance and informed Pang Yuan to prepare for the siege, and Liu Tiantian and Lu Li also took two hundred people to cheer up and make internal preparations.

When Pang Yuan received the news, he immediately sent a secret sentry to monitor Xiu Wuzhi's every move. Waiting for Geng Li to leave with his people, Pang Yuan specially ordered people to wait for two more hours, and after making sure that Geng Li had gone away, he led his troops to attack Xiu Wuzhi.

The soldiers in the city of Xiu Wu Zhi saw a mighty force in the distance and immediately became alert, when they saw the banner of the Wu Xiu army, the general who defended the city quickly ordered the city gate to be closed, and then mobilized the soldiers and horses in the city to climb the mountain wall to defend Xiu Wu Zhi!

In order to save time, Pang Yuan asked the troops to start attacking the city without stopping. The Jingguo army, which was caught off guard, rushed to the battle and looked very embarrassed.

In the city, Liu Tiantian and the others saw that the Jingguo army had focused their attention on the city wall, and immediately rushed to the city gate with two hundred people.

Pang Yuan led people to rush into the city without saying a word, and at this time, the Jingguo soldiers in the city were already in chaos, and under the leadership of the general defending the city, they could only organize sporadic resistance.

After two hours of fighting, except for a few Jingguo soldiers who fled to the west gate, the others were killed or surrendered, and all of them were controlled by the Wu Xiu army.

Before everyone had time to rejoice, Pang Yuan hurriedly ordered someone to clean up the battlefield, and then asked the soldiers to change into the clothes of Jingguo's army, erect Jingguo's flag, and pretend that nothing had happened.

On the other side, Geng Li led the cavalry to the Great Tea Castle again, and the wolf smoke rose as usual like fireworks to welcome Geng Li.

Zhang Shumo learned that Geng Li was coming to harass him, and immediately ordered Hu Kun to take someone to inform Wu Tai and let Wu Tai lead his troops to take over Xiu Wuzhi.

The officials on the side were very puzzled, and Cai Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Gongzi is so confident that he can defeat Xiu Wuzhi?"

Zhang Shumo smiled: "That's naturally some confidence." However, notifying the Wutai troops to repair Wuzhi is also a safety measure, once we are defeated, the arrival of the Yiyang army can also deter the Jingguo army. ”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.

Geng Li led the cavalry to the sentry post, and this time it was not Pang Yuan who "greeted" Geng Li, but replaced him with Jiang Bin.

Although Geng Li had seen Jiang Bin, he still couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Why didn't Pang Yuan come? Isn't he here? Pang Yuan is a general under Zhang Shumo, if he doesn't say that Zhang Shumo is likely to have other actions! Could it be that they have set a trap waiting for them to drill themselves?

Thinking of this, Geng Li, who was cautious, immediately ordered: "Don't fight today, let's go back to the city!" ”

So the 10,000 cavalry returned to Xiuwuzhi in a mighty way. Geng Li led people into the city gate, looking at the bleak street, Geng Li felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Just when Geng Li was wondering, a small wind blew, and Geng Li's lieutenant sniffed the air a few times: "Strange, why is there a smell of blood in the air?" ”

When Geng Li heard this, he quickly sniffed a few times, and the faint smell of blood entered Geng Li's nasal cavity, and Geng Li suddenly thought of a strange place, how could there not even be a figure on this street!

"Not good!" Geng Li slapped his thigh, and before he finished the second half of the sentence, the rain of arrows on the city wall came directly, and most of the unsuspecting Jingguo cavalry were directly shot.

After a round of arrow rain, the Wu Xiu army slaughtered from all sides, and the panicked Jingguo cavalry ran away without waiting for Geng Li's order to turn around.

Geng Li didn't care about face at this time, and fled outside the city in the crowd. But on the city wall, Liu Tiantian had already set his eyes on him, and at the moment when Geng Li was about to approach the city wall, Liu Tiantian jumped down and hugged Geng Li and threw him to the ground.

Seeing this, the cavalry behind hurriedly grabbed the reins, afraid of stepping on Geng.

After such a delay, Wu Xiujun arrived in time and surrounded the rest of the people.

Liu naturally made a few moves to subdue Geng Li, and the long sword was on Geng Li's neck and shouted to everyone: "Stop, otherwise you won't be killed!"

The Jingguo cavalry had lost their fighting spirit, and when they saw that Geng Li was being held hostage, they dismounted and surrendered one after another.

Pang Yuan led people to tie up the surrendered people, Geng Li saw Pang Yuan's face of annoyance: "I knew that you must have acted if you weren't in the big tea castle, or you were careless, I didn't expect you to be able to lay down Xiu Wuzhi when I left, I admit it."

Everyone was in a good mood, Pang Yuan looked at Geng Li and smiled: "This is thanks to General Geng Li, otherwise we wouldn't have thought of this trick."

Geng Li's face was full of question marks, and the Jingguo cavalry looked at Geng Li in surprise, as if Geng Li had betrayed them.

Wu Xiujun didn't explain to them, and directly imprisoned Geng Li and others, and then reported to Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo was overjoyed when he learned that more than 10,000 enemy troops had been eliminated in this battle and Geng Li and more than 2,000 cavalrymen had been captured, and he immediately rushed to Xiuwuzhi with his people.
