Jian'an for six years.

Late May.

Bai Qi caught up with Zhuge Liang and fought with Zhuge Liang on the north side of the Jiangfang camp.

After more than two months of fighting, Zhuge Liang's army only had less than 90,000 people left, including the private soldiers and family members of various families, and the combat effectiveness was extremely low, and he was not an opponent of Bai Qi at all.

Bai Qi's 20,000 light cavalry, combined with Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba, won the victory effortlessly.

Zhuge Liang fled to the Jiangfang camp, relying on Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun's water army, and resisted to the death.

After Bai Qi, Li Yuanba, and Li Cunxiao won, they wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but they couldn't break through the defense of Shuizhai. After Liang Hongyu's army arrived, they stationed troops on the periphery of Shuizhai together.

In the tent.

Bai Qi pointed to the sand table in front of him and said: "The difficulty of attacking the Jiangfang camp lies in the river outside the wall, blocking the way for our army to advance. Without large flybridges or warships, it was impossible to attack the Jiangfang battalion. ”

"Our command is all light cavalry, field battles are acceptable, water battles..."

Liang Hongyu's face was contemplative.

Li Cunxiao said: "If you can send me to the gate of Shuizhai, I will definitely be able to smash a road." ”

"Cunxiao can know that the gate of Jiangfang Yingshui Village is made of one-foot-thick iron? And it is inserted from top to bottom, stuck in two huge iron troughs, even with a red-coated cannon, it can't be smashed. Bai Qi didn't have any superfluous words, and directly explained the truth.

"Huh?!"

Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba both opened their mouths in shock. Although they are born with divine power and can move thousands of pounds, they still have to rely on their own strength to smash a one-foot-thick iron gate, which is still a little bit of fire.

"We can only wait for the lord to come..." Bai Qi said.

"Zhuge Liang is cunning and cunning, and he will definitely escape in advance. It's better to let Cunxiao and Yuanba try. Liang Hongyu said.

"Uh..."

Everyone looked at Liang Hongyu. I don't understand why Liang Hongyu said this.

Li Cunxiao scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Although I also want to enter the water village, I must not be able to smash the iron door." ”

"Why do you smash the iron door?"

Liang Hongyu chuckled and said, "The task given to us by the lord is to eliminate Zhuge Liang. We might as well sneak into the water village quietly, as long as we can find Zhuge Liang, with the strength of Yuanba and Cunxiao, it is not difficult to kill him, right? ”

"Hmm."

Bai Qi nodded.

Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba also agreed with Liang Hongyu's strategy.

But now there is still a problem, and that is... How to sneak into the water village quietly? You must know that the whole water village is surrounded by a very deep river (river water is introduced), and the wall is three zhang high and two zhang thick, which is difficult to break and can not climb. What's more, there are enemies standing guard and patrolling the walled tower, and it seems that it is more difficult to sneak in quietly than to climb to the sky.

Liang Hongyu got up and walked to Bai Qi's desk and drew a very strange picture on a piece of white paper with a brush.

"What is this?"

Bai Qi picked up the picture and looked at it.

Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba also gathered around.

Liang Hongyu said: "This is called an iron hook and eagle claw, which can help us climb the walled tower." Shadow Slayers, often used, and with great success. So I got a lot of information. ”

"I see."

Bai Qi said happily: "I'll call someone to build it immediately." ”

"The best time to dive into the water village should be when the sky is about to dawn. Cunxiao and Yuanba can go and rest first, and when the time comes, I will call you again. Liang Hongyu turned around and said.

"Okay."

Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba left.

The plan to infiltrate the water village looks a little reckless. But it is now the best plan to defend against the enemy. Because Bai Qi and Liang Hongyu's 40,000 iron cavalry, although they had the strength to destroy Zhuge Liang's army, they could not enter the village. If it is just to snipe Zhuge Liang, then Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba are enough.

Night.

The bright moon hangs high, illuminating the entire Jiangfang camp.

Zhuge Liang summoned his generals to discuss the withdrawal of troops.

"Mr. Kong Ming, it's so late, and you're still talking about the military situation. Can't we talk about it tomorrow? Kuai Liang yawned and stepped aside.

"It'll be too late tomorrow. Didn't you see Bai Qi and Liang Hongyu's iron horses, have you already arrived outside the village? Guan Yu grimaced and stroked his one-foot-long beard.

Zhuge Liang ignored the Kuai brothers and asked Guan Yu, "Yun Chang, how is Yide's injury?" ”

"Don't worry, sir, he's fine."

"Hmm."

After everyone arrived, Zhuge Liang said: "After a long period of fighting, we can be sure. Whether it is Xu Shu's big or small assault rifle, red-clothed cannon, or Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba, they are not something we can resist. Even Bai Qi and Liang Hongyu's light cavalry were well-trained and had a lot of combat effectiveness. If we continue to fight, we will have to send our lives here. ”

"In view of this, I decided to leave 5,000 people to garrison the Jiangfang battalion, and the rest of the men and horses to withdraw immediately."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang looked at the generals at all levels in the tent and asked, "Which of you is willing to stay and deal with the enemy?" ”

"This..."

Everyone knows that to stay is to die.

"Sir, why don't you let me stay?" Guan Yu saw that no one came forward, so he volunteered.

"No, I can't. General Guan is a big responsibility, how can he be... ”

Zhuge Liang was halfway through his words and did not continue.

And the people understood what he meant.

Zhuge Liang looked straight and said, "Since no one asks for battle, then I'll order the general?" Whoever points to it is whoever it is, and military orders are like mountains and cannot be disobeyed. ”

"Yes."

All the generals had bitter faces and avoided Zhuge Liang's gaze.

"Sir, I would like to go!" Just when everyone was nervous, a loud voice sounded in the tent.

Everyone looked back.

"Zhang Yun?"

Zhuge Liang hesitated and asked, "General Zhang Yun, are you really willing to stay?" Do you know the dangers left behind? ”

"The last general knows, and the last general is willing to stay." Zhang Yun's face did not change his face and replied.

(Note: Zhang Yun was originally Cai Mao's general, who was good at training naval troops, and surrendered to Liu Bei after Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou.) ）

Zhuge Liang's eyes sank, and he thought to himself: "Although Zhang Yun is a general who surrendered later, and he is biased towards the Jingzhou family, he is very good at training naval troops. After occupying Yizhou, he must not be used to resist Ganning. ”

However, in the current situation, if there is no capable general stationed in the Jiangfang battalion, it will be difficult to get rid of Bai Qi and Liang Hongyu's pursuers.

"Is there anything wrong with it, sir?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. If you want to stay, stay behind. Zhuge Liang casually flipped the feather fan in his hand.

"No."

Zhang Yun clenched his fists and retreated to his original position.

"The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. I decided to withdraw from the Jiangfang battalion immediately! Zhuge Liang got up, unfolded a map, and said: "The biggest danger of this trip is to encounter Ganning's navy on the river. Therefore, I want to make a noise and leave without knowing it, and I decide... ”

After listening to Zhuge Liang's plan, everyone felt that it was feasible.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "According to what I said, act quickly." ”

"No."

The crowd quickly left.
