Although the generals agreed that Peng Tuo would flee Runan when the situation was unfavorable, they did not believe that he would evacuate Zhaoling without a fight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This kind of measurement of people's hearts is the most complex and difficult to discern, and it cannot be described in words, but only by one's own feelings. Qiu Yi couldn't convince the generals, so he had to discuss with the generals to break the enemy outside the city tonight, and Peng Tuo's headquarters would make changes depending on their specific movements. Driving thieves to fill in the trenches and break the camp is only a last resort, and it can only be used as a last resort.

In the end, the generals agreed to postpone the general attack immediately after dark until three o'clock in the morning, and the plan was decided, and the generals went to visit Xu Pu again and asked for his approval.

Xu Pu pondered for a long time before asking: "Qiu Mingyuan led back 6,000 troops, the Ye family left 2,000 troops, and I have 3,000 young and strong people, in addition to leaving 1,000 people to defend the city, there will be 10,000 people, which seems to be a lot, but can it really defeat the 100,000 ant thieves of the thieves?" The old man once saw that the ant thief was not afraid of death, and the scene of the ant attached to the siege of the city, no matter how he killed, he could not kill it, which was ten ...... with one enemy."

Qiu Yi explained: "Xu Jun, in fact, the 6,000 army led by Gong Xianjun ten days ago is enough to break the 100,000 moth thieves. Today, I am also sure that the thief will be broken, but I am afraid that the thief's situation will change in the middle of the night, so I have to ask the whole army to be dispatched in unison to be a backup in case of change. ”

Xu Puwang saw that all the generals were not afraid, and knew that what Qiu Yi said was not bad, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Since you are so sure, the old man will accompany you to gamble." Although the old man was sick and weak, he could not personally lead the soldiers and horses to charge, but he had his sister-in-law Xu Ting, and he would lead the people all the way tonight to make efforts to summon the people of Lingling. The old man will cheer for the army on the upper floor of Xicheng tonight, and he will be the same as a moth thief......"

In the middle of the night, all the thieves outside the city were at rest. Qiu Yiwang saw that the Yellow Turban Moth Thief did not have any other changes to his military garrison arrangements because of the arrival of strong reinforcements from Zhaoling City, and he became more and more sure that Peng Tuo was leaving. He had already abandoned the 80,000 old and weak outside the city, so as not to startle the snakes, so as not to change the military affairs.

The Yellow Turban Thief has always liked to coerce the people as thieves, and on the surface, it is indeed a large number of people, but in fact, the combat power and morale are getting lower and lower. There are millions of followers in Taiping Dao, and there are no less than 300,000 young and strong, it is better to use the loyal believers of Taiping Dao as soldiers and faith as weapons, although they are bare-handed, they are much stronger than the three million rabble thieves.

It seems that this Peng Tuo was the first to discover the shortcomings of the moth thief, and separated the young and strong from the old and weak early, thinking of leaving at any time. The siege of the Zhaoling army for ten days is not a tempering of the war of the thieves under his command. The strong reinforcement of the army has been completed, and it is not a good plan to escape from the other side.

The guard Yu Hua held a longbow in his hand and said respectfully: "Jun Sima, this bow was found by me from Ye Cun's residence, Ye Cun just used it as a collection, not a weapon, and wasted its function in vain. Returning to the hands of the military Sima today, this bow will definitely be able to shine. ”

Qiu Yi said with a smile: "This is the temperament that the Ye family inherited from Ye Gongzi Gao, Ye Gong is a good dragon, but he likes dragon-shaped utensils, not really like real dragons." Ye Cun pretended to be good at shooting, and he once shot a tiger. But he hid his good bow deep and kept it beside him from time to time, and he was not a good shooter. I heard it shoot a tiger that day, and I wanted to compete with it. I don't want him to look down on me, so I haven't had a chance. But in the end, he still died under my arrows, is this the cause and effect that Futu Sect says? ”

Qiu Yi drew the bow and shot falsely, but found that the bowstring was too soft, and some of them did not take advantage of it. He took the longbow of the remnants again, and the two bows were pulled apart together, but the strength was just right. Qiu Yi muttered to himself: "It's strange, I've only been in the army for a few months, why is my strength so great?" ”

Wang Dang on the side said with a smile: "I want to come to the army, Sima has not grown up in the past, and after joining the army, he has worked hard, and his strength has increased." This bow is not suitable, so I will redo it with the military master in the future. ”

Qiu Yi sighed and said: "After today's battle, I am afraid that there will be no place for it, and no matter how good the bow is, it can only be used for hunting." Turning his head to look at Yu Hua, he couldn't help but smile: "You said that you wanted to be a military candidate that day, but now I have made you a general, which is only one level lower than the military candidate." Why don't you take advantage of the fact that I still have a little power now, how about promoting you to the army? After this time, I will return to the people, but I will not have this power. ”

Yu Hua smiled slyly on his little face, and said: "Jun Sima Xiu wants to be fooled by me, the military position of this Zhaoling Volunteer Army is not held by the court, but it is a temporary military candidate, and there is nothing to boast about when he is a soldier." The Ye family has been defeated, and the military Sima will have a great life-saving grace in Gong County, and the military Sima just wants to serve the people again, but I am afraid that it will not be possible. Gong Xianjun wants to repay the great grace of saving his life, so he has to report your great achievements to the court. I waited to follow the military Sima to obtain the official position of military candidate in the court, and this was satisfied. ”

Qiu Yi pointed at Yu Hua and laughed, but he also had some longing in his heart. Yes, the Ye family has been defeated, so naturally there is no need to share half of the credit to others. Even if he gave most of the credit to Qiu Rui and Zhu Mian, the little credit he had left was enough for him to obtain the position of county lieutenant in a small county on one side. Since he has been oppressed by the name of Lingzi and his son-in-law for twenty-one years, it is time to obtain an official body and change his name and go to bad luck.

At three o'clock, the war drums of the West Building sounded on time, and the four gates of Zhaoling City suddenly opened, and the 10,000 troops who had been preparing for a long time shouted, swarming out, and killing the thieves who were still in their sleep.

The 2,000 armies of Chejing and Gao District in the east of the city were from east to north, the 2,000 armies of Dengdang and Dulei in the south of the city were killed, and the 2,000 armies of Su Gu and Zhou Ge in the north of the city slowly advanced, only the soldiers and horses in the west of the city were the most numerous, and the 2,000 people of Qiu Gong, Lu Ping, Cheng Qi and Wang Dang were led by Qiu Yi himself, and the 2,000 young and strong people of Xu Ting were added to drive the thieves to the north.

The four roads of people and horses were overwhelming, and they suddenly stirred up the thieves outside the city and turned them on their backs. In the firelight, I saw the figures of the officers and soldiers, I don't know how many, the snowy arrows, the ring-headed broadsword, and the spear slashed away, blood splattered, and the heads were all over the ground. The thieves are terrified, the soldiers do not know the generals in the middle of the night, the orders are unknown, and it is difficult to form a battle during the day, let alone in the middle of the night. So they were routed one after another, and were driven north by the officers and soldiers.

Qiu Yi saw that the thief army was in chaos and the victory was decided, so he left Qiu Gong to help Xu Ting command Qingzhuang to drive away the thieves, and he led Lu Ping, Cheng Qi, and Wang Dang to lead two thousand men and horses to bypass countless thieves and go straight to the west.

Qiu Yi led the army to go here for three purposes, if Peng Tuo sent a large army to the rescue, Qiu Yi would be able to stand up to block it. If Peng Tuo escaped, Qiu Yi bit Peng Tuo's army and waited for the reinforcements of various armies. If Peng Tuo was untouched in the thief camp, Qiu Yi would be on the spot outside the camp. These three goals can also be said to be one goal, that is, to take a good look at Peng Tuo and not let him escape.

Qiu Yi was anxious in his heart, this was the first time he had anticipated the enemy's opportunity, and he wanted to see what was going on, so he took the lead and was dozens of steps ahead of the army. Cheng Qi was not at ease when he saw it later, so he let Lu Ping and Wang Dang lead the army, and he and dozens of cavalry caught up with Qiu Yihuan to protect him.

Cheng Qi shouted: "Jun Sima, don't be in a hurry, there will be movement in the march of the army of more than 20,000 people, but you must be careful of the thieves' sentry and hidden arrows." ”

Qiu Yi's heart froze, yes, no matter what Peng Tuo does, there will be movement in the march of more than 20,000 people. No matter how unwise the thieves are, there must be a lot of wandering guards and spies wandering around the periphery, and if they are accidentally ambushed, the army will be defeated without an owner.

Qiu Yi learned that there were still three or four miles away, so he went to the thief village on the bank of the Dasha River. It was very easy to meet the enemy at such a distance, so he lagged behind a little, and asked Cheng Qi to send four horsemen and horses to explore the road first, while the other soldiers transformed the marching column into a horizontal phalanx facing the enemy and marched slowly.

The journey of three or four miles was a short time, and after a short time, the four horsemen hurried back, and at the same time brought back a horseman. I saw that the knight had a thin face, pale and bloodless, and was still chewing something in his mouth. The horse under the seat is also skinny, with weak limbs, and almost wants to fall.

After the knight approached, he hurriedly swallowed the things in his mouth, and immediately hugged his fists slightly and said: "Sima of the Mingyuan Army, the Peng Tuo thief department secretly fled to the southwest an hour ago, and was detected by the Ji Yu Army Sima, led the troops to capture the thief village, and followed the Peng Tuo thief department, wanting to annihilate the Peng Tuo thief department in the territory of Zhaoling. Please also ask the Ming Yuan Army Sima to go to support as soon as possible. ”

"Okay." Qiu Yi clapped his legs excitedly and shouted, an hour ago just happened to be Zishi, seeing that this time the enemy was not a failure, he immediately gave up a horse to the knight to ride, ordered him to lead the way in front, and led the army into a long marching formation again, and then marched. Qiu Yi hurriedly sent two more heralds, asking Qiu Gong and the others to send at least 2,000 more men and horses to reinforce them.

Qiu Yi led the army to march in a hurry, and since Peng Tuo's thief department left an hour in advance, there was a distance of more than ten miles from the army. If you want to catch up with them, it's not easy for the foot soldiers to fight the foot soldiers. Moreover, Gong Zhang and the others were surrounded for ten days without food, and they could bravely chase after the thieves, as a subordinate, how could they dare to hesitate half a step.

Qiu Yi shouted in the army: "Fellow comrades, this battle can be described as the last battle of my Summoning Ling Army. After this battle, there will be no more thieves in Runan, and it will be even more difficult for you to get a heavy reward. Qiu brought back 5,000 gold worth of property from Haiyang City, and he will reward all of them after the war. Whoever gets the reward, who gets the reward, it just depends on the march this time. Today I am the head of the army, and whoever can catch up with me on foot will be rewarded with ten gold, and those who can keep up with the army will be rewarded with one gold. The army is the tail of the army, and those who lag behind him will be killed. ”

When the army heard this, they were overjoyed and furious, and secretly prayed to themselves at Cheng Qi's violent appearance, hoping that he would not beat the horse so fast.

The army marched at a rapid pace, and in an hour it traveled twenty miles, resting only for a moment and taking credit once. Two hours later, the sky was almost dawn, and the army was approaching Rushui, where Yun and Dingying met. only heard the sound of killing in the direction of Rushui, and the Zhaoling army had already caught up with Peng Tuo's thief department and killed it.

Qiu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, if Peng Tuo failed to arrange a retreat in advance, he would definitely stop on the bank of Rushui, and this Rushui would be Peng Tuo's burial place.
