Chapter 156: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Due to Hua Wenxuan's division of troops, in the face of Li Dian's light cavalry that suddenly attacked from the south gate, Xu Shu and others were helpless, and the siege equipment was burned down. There was also no progress in the east and west, and the efforts were in vain. Xu Shu and others barely repelled Li Dian's light cavalry, and then raised troops to protect Hua Wenxuan, but they had no strength to continue the siege, so they had to lead the army back to the camp.
The atmosphere in the big tent was extremely dull for a while, Hua Wenxuan was still immersed in Li Dian's contemptuous eyes on the city gate, and the frustration for two consecutive days made him have to re-examine his perception of war.
Everyone deduced the strategy in the account, but they didn't know where to start, this Li Dian was one of the top city defenders of the Cao family, acting cautiously, never greedy for merit, and for a time everyone had no good plan.
Seeing that it was about to enter the son, everyone was still at a loss, and the Malay newspaper outside the camp was reported that there were Cao family brigades coming from the west of Ruyin, and the banner was Langya Xiangzangba's troops.
Hua Wenxuan and everyone were shocked, if Ruyin is a starry night at this point, he will be able to go to Runan later tomorrow, if he is attacked by Li Dian and Zang Ba under this Runan City, it will be an extremely dangerous thing.
Hua Wenxuan got up and came to Chen Deng and Xu Shu, "Zang Ba will be here in a few days, what is the best plan for the two gentlemen?" ”
Xu Shu glanced at Chen Deng and arched his hand, "Since the confrontation under the ancient fortified city, what I am most afraid of is to break the balance, and it is a good opportunity for Zang Ba to arrive." If it is properly handled, Runan can go down, if you don't get the essentials, you will definitely fail! ”
When Hua Wenxuan heard this, he was even more clueless, and looked at Chen Deng, Chen Deng frowned tightly at the beginning, and only later was relieved, and looked at Xu Shu with a smile, "Change is organic, Yuan Zhi wants to take the chestnut from the fire?" ”
Xu Shu smiled, "If you are fast, no matter how strong the fire is, it will not burn!" ”
Hua Wenxuan didn't know what to do, but fortunately waved his hand and praised: "The two gentlemen are strategic, Wenxuan can't guess, just give orders!" ”
Xu Shu looked at Hua Wenxuan and smiled, "Brother Wenxuan believes in me, tomorrow I will lead an army to besiege the city, besiege but not attack, stay after noon, collect the troops and retreat to the southeast!" Xu Shu got up and came to Runan, before he came to the south of Runan, he pointed to a place in the southeast direction of Runan, "This place is called Gepo, Wenxuan just needs to find the main road, and the rest of the other things, Yuan Zhizi will order!" ”
Hua Wenxuan looked in the direction of Ge Po, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, this look is a plan to lure the enemy, how could Li Dian be a cautious person, how could he make such a mistake?
Xu Shu saw that Hua Wenxuan didn't believe it, but he didn't say much, and looked at Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, "Tomorrow, the two generals will each lead two thousand men and horses, follow me to set up an ambush, don't leave Li Dian!" ”
Hua Wenxuan looked at Chen Deng with a blank face, and Chen Deng said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi is a great talent, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, don't worry about Wenxuan's son!" ”
Don't worry about you, Hua Wenxuan muttered in his heart, is there really such a god?
Until noon on the second day, Hua Wenxuan basked in the sun for a long time, and when the defenders retreated to the designated direction, they were still thinking about this matter in their hearts.
However, the slap in the face came very quickly, and within three miles, the rear team sentinel came to report, and Li Dian's handsome soldiers poured out of the nest and chased after him.
Hua Wenxuan suddenly felt sour, why did this Li Dian really catch up with him so facelessly?
Hua Wenxuan urged the army to march quickly, and walked in the direction of Gepo, only looking for the main road all the way, according to Xu Shu's words, he discarded countless baggage banners along the way, and when he arrived at the boundary of Gepo, he suddenly saw Xu Shu and Jian Yongzheng leading a group of foot soldiers to set up a card on the road.
Xu Shu saw Hua Wenxuan coming first, so he ordered a gap to open in the front formation, allowing Hua Wenxuan's army to pass.
Hua Wenxuan passed the checkpoint, turned back, came to Xu Shu's side, and asked softly: "This Li Dian is a serious person, why is he chasing after him this time?" ”
Xu Shu smiled slightly, "I know that Zang Ba is coming, how can this Li Dian not know?" He insisted on holding the fortified city, just to induce us to wait under this city, waiting for Zang Ba to bring a large army to help, and to attack inside and outside. Today, the Wenxuan brothers besieged but did not attack, and I ordered Jian Yongdu to surround the city with grain and grass, creating the illusion that our army was retreating. It is bound to chase after us, and it is better to hold back our pace, so it is bound to rush forward! ”
Hua Wenxuan nodded lightly, "What he said is very true, but Li Dian has a lot of soldiers and horses, wouldn't this battle slow down the pace of marching, and Zang Ba is close at hand!" ”
Xu Shu looked at Hua Wenxuan, "Zang Ba and his party are like plasters, if they are allowed to follow them all the way, there will always be a day when the tail will not fall, it is better to defeat them here first, that is, they will fight again in the future, and there will be so many people!" ”
While speaking, Li Dian's army chased to the front of the battle, Li Dian and his horse rushed over, and when he saw that Xu Shu was waiting for him, he couldn't help but be shocked, Xu Shu shouted on the horse: "General Mancheng, don't come to be unharmed?" ”
Li Dian looked at it and scolded: "Hua Wenxuan! Zihuan Gongzi treats you well! You actually killed the king and escaped so far, what a heartless and unrighteous person in the world! ”
Hua Wenxuan looked at Xu Shu helplessly, "I'm really too lazy to argue with him!" ”
Xu Shu smiled slightly, pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed forward, and after the battle, the arrow rain burst out, Li Dianxin was horizontal, raised the knife forward, and the two teams fought together in an instant.
Hua Wenxuan and Xu Shu were in the formation, paying attention to the situation in front of the formation, although Li Dian had few people, he was evenly matched with Xu Shu's side, Hua Wenxuan secretly said in his heart: This Xu Shu must have laid the groundwork, otherwise how could he only have this little soldier?
Just thinking about it, Xu Shu sent an order to the back of the battle, and the two rapid drums shook Hua Wenxuan's ears.
On both sides of Li Dian's brigade, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu each led an army out of the dense forest, Li Dian's army was in chaos, the enemy was attacked on the back of the abdomen, and suddenly lost the ability to fight again, Li Dian saw that the situation was not good, and led the army to retreat, but Xu Shu did not want to intercept, only ordered the army to pursue, killing along the way.
Straight to the sunset, Li Dian had already turned back to Runan City, and called the door repeatedly.
But he saw Chen Deng poking out half of his head from the city gate, and said with a smile: "Why is General Mancheng so late?" ”
Li Dian was suddenly shocked, Hua Wenxuan and others behind him were shooting horses to kill, Li Dian hurriedly led the rest of the men and horses to the northeast, but there were already soldiers and horses from the east gate of Runan, Li Dian was even more panicked, and he was crashing into Zhao Yunma in a panic.
Zhao Yun did not deceive others, drank and stopped from the people, one person and one rode straight towards Li Dian, Li Dian was suddenly furious, slapped the horse and danced the knife and rushed up, when the two intersected, Zhao Yun shook a shot, leaned back sideways, Li Dian's long knife came out and knew the plan, but it was too late, Zhao Yun lightly stretched his ape arm, grabbed the ribbon around Li Dian's waist, and dragged him off the horse.
Li Dian only felt that his gaze turned from the front of the horse to the sky, and the huge pull made him completely unresponsive, and there was a sharp pain in the back of his head, and it was already dark in front of him.
