Chapter 133 Showing weakness
Liu Renyu and Liu Renjie finished arranging the task, and then said: "When we get to the city of Yan'an, we don't need to line up, and we don't need the two armies to fight again, we have only one strategy, when Wang Jiayin's gang takes his thieves to the battlefield, let's ride a horse and attack, catch Wang Jiayin and chase him, and don't give him a chance to breathe, chase and kill all the way, let's use this strategy, can you hear it clearly?" ”
"Yes, sir." Yang Desheng and other military attaches from Jingbian Fort all responded.
"Very good, you go back now, so that you can prepare, and we will fight the thieves tomorrow."
"Yes, sir."
Yang Desheng agreed, then turned around and went back to assign tasks.
When Wang Zuohang, who was a mess of paste in his head, was also about to follow the flow outside, he suddenly heard Liu Renyu's voice floating over: "Zuohang, and go slowly, you talk to me." ”
Liu Renyu had long noticed that Wang Zuohang's expression was wrong, and he thought that Wang Zuohang was afraid of being outnumbered, so he was very afraid, so he deliberately left Wang Zuohang to talk.
"Ah, yes, yes, sir." Wang Zuo hung the order, then stopped, stood with his head down, and waited quietly for Liu Renyu to speak.
"Zuo hang, let's talk, what do you have to say, say it straight, I don't blame you. Let me ask you, what was your state of mind when you rebelled before? Liu Renyu asked.
When Wang Zuohang heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied without thinking: "My lord, I want to eat and live." ”
"Then when you rebelled, did you ever think that the court would come to suppress you and take your lives at any time?"
"I thought about it, the little one just pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers at that time, and lived one day at a time, maybe he would be caught by the court and cut off his head one day."
"Were you scared at that time?"
"What's the use of being afraid! It is a knife to stretch your neck, or a knife to shrink your neck, it is better to fight hard, survive first, and if you are caught by the court, you will die. ”
"Very good, when you were a thief, you were not afraid in the face of such a powerful court, but now in the face of Wang Jiayin's tens of thousands of rabble, what are you afraid of? When a thief dies, he is rebellious. As a member of our official army, he died, and the thief was loyal to the country, leaving a name in history. Don't die, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and protect you with a future. What else are you afraid of? ”
"Adult, the little one is indeed a little afraid, but in addition to this, the little one wants to ask something, if the question is not good and offends you, don't kill me, send me to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so that I can also do my part for you."
"What you said is not right, I don't treat you as outsiders, so if you have anything to say, just ask, I will definitely not blame you."
Wang Zuojiao heard Liu Renyu say that he didn't treat himself as an outsider, but he didn't believe it, because his troops only had one layer of armor, while Lord Liu's descendants were all wearing three layers of heavy armor, which was a real difference between intimacy and intimacy.
Wang Zuojiao thinks that Liu Renyu is good to his descendants, which is right, and he can accept it, but Liu Renyu said that he didn't treat him as an outsider, and he just took it as a joke when he heard it.
After Wang Zuohang finished thinking about these thoughts, he opened his mouth and said: "My lord, although there are many thieves, but you are the first to rush and kill, and the little ones follow a general like you to fight, even if they die, they are willing." What I want to ask is, we are a newly attached army, and when we fight a decisive battle with the thieves, do you want to drive us out to battle and charge at the front?
If you arrange it this way, the little one will admit it, but can you match the small subordinates with more armor, so that we can rush for a while and kill more enemies. ”
What!?
As soon as Wang Zuohang's words came out, Liu Renyu realized that he was completely thinking in the wrong direction, it turned out that Wang Zuohang's bad look was not only because he was afraid of being outnumbered, but also because he was afraid that he would treat them as cannon fodder, rather than simply feeling outnumbered.
"Left hanging, I don't think you still have such thoughts. When you put your heart in your stomach and charge into battle, I, and what you said, my descendants must rush to the front, and you just follow behind and kill. ”
"My lord, don't you use us thieves as cannon fodder?"
"What kind of thief-born person, you came to Jingbian Fort, you are my person, but you have little qualifications, if you come in and treat me like my old brothers, my old brothers will also be dissatisfied, so I can only match your subordinates with one layer of armor, of course, after a long time, I can match you with two layers of armor, what do you think?"
Liu Renyu is a heaven-like existence in Wang Zuo's heart, and people will talk about the Lord to this extent, what else can he do as a newcomer, of course, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said excitedly: "If the adult loves like this, the little one dares to do his best to serve the adult." ”
"Okay, it's enough to have your words, tomorrow's battle array will be good for life and death, and I will take credit for you. Alright, you can go down and rest. ”
"Yes, my lord, the little one will retire." Wang Zuohang agreed, and then walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army happily and went back to rest.
***********
On the official road from Qingjian to Yan'an, Liu Renjie took Sun Wuji, He Yaozong and other more than 30 knights were advancing in the direction of Yan'an in order to detect the enemy.
After Liu Renjie and his subordinates set off from the barracks, they had already run for nearly 30 miles, and they had never encountered the thieves' scouts.
"Second Master Liu, you see that the thieves are really bad, we are only 20 miles away from them, and we haven't seen a single scout, according to this, even if our Jingbian Fort army directly hits Yan'an City, I am afraid that it will not be discovered."
Sun Wuxian saw that he and the others had been running away for so long, and he hadn't seen the thief's scout, so he couldn't help but complain.
"After all, the thieves are not serious soldiers, but I'm afraid that this aspect is a little sloppy, let's go ahead and maybe we can run into the thieves. I'll tell you that when I meet the thieves' scouts, you won't be allowed to go up to engage in battle, and if you do, I'll run back and lead them to the adults. ”
"Yes, Second Master Liu, the little ones heard clearly." Everyone responded in unison.
So they had to go on for another five miles, and when they came to a bend in a mountain road, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the mountain.
"If there is a situation, you should be prepared, and when you see that the thieves do not engage in battle, you will run away immediately and lead the thieves to the adults."
"Yes, Second Master Liu."
As soon as everyone agreed, they held their breath and condensed, followed Liu Renjie, and walked cautiously towards the turn.
At the same time, on the other side of the mountain, more than 50 knights dressed as ordinary people also heard the sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the mountain.
When the group heard the sound of horses' hooves, they slowed down their horses and slowly approached the turn, and then one of the more than 50 knights had a Chinese face, sword eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, a full beard, a big felt hat, and a man wearing a red cotton jacket said to a man in green clothes Nunu beside him, and ordered: "Go and see, which way is the fairy?" ”
"Yes, Sixth Master Wang." When the man in green received the order, he cautiously rode his horse towards the bend in the road.
When the man in Tsing Yi ran to the corner, he happened to see Liu Renjie and other cavalry, and naturally Liu Renjie and other people also saw this man in Tsing Yi.
"Rogue!" Liu Renjie and the others were full of surprise in their tones.
"Officers and soldiers!?" The man in green clothes was full of horror in his tone.
"Run."
Liu Renjie shouted, so everyone rushed in the direction of Qingjian according to the original plan.
"Oh my mother!" When the man in green clothes saw so many officers and soldiers, he was naturally frightened, and he desperately beat his mount, and while running towards his own team, he shouted as if he was killing pigs: "Oh no, the officers and soldiers are coming, everyone run!" ”
When Wang Liuye heard that the official army was coming, he was first startled, and then out of instinct, he turned around and ran to Yan'an.
waited for this Wang Liuye to run for a while, and looked back to see if the officials and soldiers were chasing fiercely, but when he looked back, he didn't even see the shadow of the officials and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers didn't chase after them, so they still ran a fart!
Wang Liuye, who realized this fact, immediately shouted: "Fuck Lao Tzu to stop, and the officials and soldiers didn't chase after him." ”
When the thieves heard Wang Liuye's shout, they all hurriedly stopped their horses, and when they looked back, they didn't see half of the official army.
"Xu Faxi, you donkey day for Lao Tzu." Wang Liuye shouted at the man in Tsing Yi who had just been sent by him to inquire about the news.
"Hey, yes, Sixth Master Wang." Xu Fa was overjoyed, so he rode his horse to Wang Liuye's side.
"Let's ask you, can you see clearly, how many officers and soldiers have come?" Wang Liuye asked with a dark face.
"This!?" Xu Faxi hesitated for a while, and only then did he reply: "The little one was very panicked at the time, but he just saw that there were officials and soldiers, but he didn't see how many there were? ”
"You fucking stupid." Wang Liuye was furious when he heard this, and he mixed the horsewhip, which was immediately whipped on Xu Faxi's face, and immediately brought a red mark.
Xu Faxi took a whip, and suddenly felt a hot pain on his face, he subconsciously covered his face, but he didn't even dare to snort.
"Remember, fucking again, if you encounter the enemy again, see it clearly and then report back. Otherwise, we will break your legs. Wang Liuye reprimanded angrily.
"Yes, yes, Sixth Master Wang, the little one has been written down." Xu Faxi agreed.
"You follow me to have a look, there are officials and soldiers coming, we must always investigate the enemy's situation, so that we can go back and report to the king." Wang Liuye commanded, and then took the first step, riding his horse and galloping towards the side of the mountain.
This sixth master Wang was still wondering as he ran: "Where is this official army?" Why are we so pustules, we all have to run when we meet! ”
With great curiosity, Wang Liuye chased after his subordinates.
But it was said that Liu Renjie and the others originally rode their horses and ran for a while, and then looked back, but the thieves did not chase after them at all, so they had to turn back and go to the hook again. Drain the thief.
Liu Renjie and the other cavalrymen of Jingbian Fort walked for a while, and happened to meet the scouts of Wang Liuye and other thieves who had made a comeback.
The two groups of people faced each other from a distance, Wang Liuye saw that there were so many officers and soldiers, and he was suddenly shocked, feeling that he couldn't beat him, he immediately planned to take his subordinates to run away first, but he didn't think that he had time to shout 'Run', but first heard Liu Renjie shout: "Run." ”
So, in the blink of an eye, Liu Renjie and the other cavalrymen of Jingbian Fort ran out for 1 mile.
Seeing this scene, Wang Liuye, who was usually beaten by the officials and soldiers at night, first looked at his subordinates, obviously not understanding the situation yet.
In the end, it was Xu Faxi who kindly reminded: "Sixth Master Wang, if the little one is not mistaken, the officers and soldiers on the other side seem to have fled as soon as they saw us." ”
Wang Liuye didn't wake up until this time, he thought that he was lucky, and he ran into a team of extremely cowardly officers and soldiers, so he proudly greeted his subordinates: "Hey, we are lucky today, we met such a group of pus-filled officers and soldiers, small ones, walk, chase and kill them." Kill the officials and soldiers, and we will ask for a reward in front of the king for you. ”
"Okay, Sixth Master Wang."
As soon as the thieves agreed, they screamed and pursued behind Liu Renjie and the others.
In this way, the thieves, whose morale had skyrocketed because they could bully the officers and soldiers, chased after them like crazy, and they chased them for 25 miles, seeing that they were about to approach most of the men and horses commanded by Liu Renyu.
At this time, Liu Renyu felt that the earth was shaking slightly, and he thought that his scout should come back, so he immediately shouted: "The thief's scout is coming, you remember, if the thief rushes later, shoot them with arrows, but it's better not to shoot them, just scare them." ”
"Yes, sir." The soldiers all agreed.
After Liu Renyu gave the order, he specially brought the team to a bend, so that the people coming from the opposite side could not see the situation on their side.
After a short time, Liu Renjie led his cavalry around the corner, and when he saw his own soldiers and horses here, he divided into two teams and rushed back to his main formation.
And Wang Liuye, who was happily following behind Liu Renjie, and other thieves turned around the corner and found that the big thing was not good.
About 50 paces away in front of them, there was a large group of officers and soldiers, and at the front of this large group of officers and soldiers, there was a group of archers who had been waiting for a long time.
So Wang Liuye shouted in despair: "I'm dead!" And the other thieves also stood on the spot, waiting for Lord Yama to send someone to pick them up.
"Put." Zhang Tieniu, the leader of the archers, shouted.
A wave of feathered arrows rose into the air and flew straight towards the rogue on the opposite side.
Wang Liuye watched blankly as the feather arrows shot by the official army drew arcs in the air and flew towards them.
He was ready to be killed by an angry arrow, but after waiting for a while, the expected scene of the man turning on his back did not appear.
When he came back to his senses and looked closely, he found that all the feathered arrows fired by the officers and soldiers had landed on the ground five paces away from them, and none of them had knocked them down.
"I don't think that the archery skills of the officers and soldiers are poor, if this is the case, we have to survive! It's good to run. Wang Liuye never expected that this guy was not only timid, but even his archery skills were so touching, and he could only shoot 40 steps, so he quickly greeted him and quickly fled with his subordinates.
Liu Renyu looked at the backs of Wang Liuye and the other thieves, and said with a smile to the left and right: "We have few people, and if we show weakness, Wang Jiayin will inevitably despise us, and when we fight a decisive battle later, we will have one more chance of winning." ”
