snare

Since Duanmu Ming was injured, Zhang Chu's army began to adopt the strategy of encircling but not attacking, and no longer confronted the defending army of Jiezhou head-on, which Geng Zhicheng can understand, and today Mr. Ning Da took the initiative to avoid the attack of the squadron, but it made this general who had been fighting for many years confused.

Lowering his head and pondering for a while, Geng Zhicheng looked back at the giant catapult that represented death, and then looked at the direction of the enemy's retreat, in front of him was a strange rocky valley, and a mysterious smile suddenly bloomed on the face that had been indifferent for a long time. "Fucking old fox, he's pulling off because of this car, he's going to fight us in the valley. Can Lao Tzu make your wishes come true? ”

According to the original plan, they did not intend to really confront the Allied forces after leaving the city, which were far larger than their own. Therefore, this running formation was discharged in order to reinforce Bai Yunfan, who was far away in Dingbian City.

If there is a war, there will be death, and this time they are determined to close the door and fight the dogs, and they would rather sacrifice their own 20,000 heavy cavalry to break through the defense line of Zhang Chu's army and go to Dingbian City. In order to save time, they discussed it again after Bai Yunfan left, and decided to start in advance, and strive to arrive at the battlefield earlier, as long as they can enter Dingbian City, everything will be fine.

And now that Mr. Ning Da took the initiative to withdraw, Geng Zhicheng was overjoyed in his heart, and while directing the army to pretend to follow the enemy's advance, he arranged for the heavy cavalry, which was intended to be left as the vanguard, to detour from the left and right flanks to the rear of the team. When he felt that everything was almost ready, he decisively ordered: after the heavy cavalry was broken, the light cavalry charged, and the main force marched in the direction of Dingbian City!

As soon as the 80,000 army left the city, it was crowded with people, and when Mr. Ning Da found out the true purpose of the squadron, the distance between the two sides had already stretched to the boss. So, with the same strange smile on his face, he ordered his troops to stop retreating and wait and see instead.

Geng Chengzhi was not surprised this time, he urged the horse to gallop, and thought: "It seems that the friction between the Xiongnu and Zhang Chu's army is real. It is estimated that Mr. Ning Da hopes to borrow my knife to kill the Huns, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Since it is decided, then the army will move. Geng Chengzhi's troops have set off!

Xu Yuyan finally failed to calm the boundless desire left by a dream to Bai Yunqi, in order not to affect his injury, Xu Yuyan took the initiative to open her small mouth and probe into Bai Yunqi's quilt.

"Uh...," Bai Yunqi began to gasp in a low breath with Xu Yuyan's rhythm, and after a long time, the two fell asleep again. And when Bai Yunqi entered the next sleepland contentedly, Bai Yunfan just broke through the sleeping palace of Duan Muming. There were no beds in the room, let alone patients, and what awaited him were dozens of black and shiny crossbows.

The huge contrast from heaven to hell made Bai Yunfan involuntarily stunned for nearly half a second, and in this half second, there was only one sentence in his mind: "I have been tricked, why is this happening?" ”

There was no time for regret and resentment, and even Bai Yun didn't have time to make a surprised expression on his face. The death behind him suddenly came forward, protecting the master with his own flesh and blood, and a dozen of them immediately turned into hedgehogs under the ruthless destruction of the strong crossbow. The living immediately counterattacked, the front one rushed to Duanmu Ming's personal guard, who had abandoned the crossbow and knife in the room, and the one behind immediately turned back, trying to occupy the door, so that the boss could retreat to the courtyard to join the majority.

This room is hell and they must not stay. Once they have become things in an urn, they will only be killed to be slaughtered. Countless Hun soldiers who had been in ambush for a long time poured into the command post like a tide, and Duanmu Ming finally hooked this big fish, this time he was determined to surround them here and slowly consume them.

The command knife mercilessly pierced one of the guards in front of him, Bai Yunfan raised his foot and stomped on his lower abdomen, and the opponent's corpse flew out diagonally, just enough to block the spear stabbed on the right. Bai Yunfan stumbled, bent down to dodge the blade on the left, and the long sword cut behind him was supported by a personal guard with his body, he simply rolled on the spot, and returned to the courtyard of the command post while cutting down the two Hun soldiers.

Bai Yunfan finally stood on his feet under the desperate support of his guards, and he felt a tingle in the calf on the right side of his left shoulder, knowing that he had been hit by a poisonous crossbow arrow. The iron-clad man looked at the rapidly falling guards around him expressionlessly, and roared coldly: "Set up the formation!" ”

The 500 people who followed Bai Yunfan into the command post had been sharply reduced to about 300, but the Chinese soldiers outside did not come in to replenish them, and it was estimated that they had been stopped by the Hun soldiers who were lying in ambush. The long knife slashed through several beautiful arcs one after another, and Bai Yunfan secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "It seems that this time I am fighting for myself." He didn't say anything, but just expressed his determination to fight to the death with his actions. Discerning the direction, he took the lead and rushed towards the gate of the command post. The combination of three hundred people is like a sharp sword rushing left and right in the courtyard, leaving a large pile of dead corpses wherever they go, and life becomes the lowest and cheapest at this moment, so no one will cherish it.

The morning sun illuminates the earth and awakens the sleeping people. Geng Chengzhi led the brigade to gallop on horseback, and fine beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead. Bursts of dust and smoke suddenly rose in front, and in the blink of an eye, a fast horse appeared on the official road, the horse bent over and bowed, clinging to the horse's back, and suddenly stopped more than 100 meters away from Geng Chengzhi's vanguard.

"Bai Hua? Why are you back, what's going on over there in Dingbian City? When Geng Chengzhi saw Bai Hua at first glance, his heart suddenly turned over, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose.

Bai Hua is one of Bai Yunfan's personal guards, and plays an emergency role in this raid mission. He was the only one who stayed outside the city to watch, and when he found that the banner of Duanmu was suddenly flying high in the city on the side of the city, he already knew the result of the failure of this operation, so he immediately galloped back to report. "General Geng, the operation failed, General Bai's life and death are uncertain at present, please General Geng quickly return to Jiezhou to hold on, and wait for reinforcements."

War is cruel, in this gamble of life, there is no family affection, friendship, only the grasp of the overall situation, everyone can only be a chess piece, for the whole battle to serve. Bai Yunfan repeatedly explained when he was leaving, once this raid failed, no one was allowed to act without permission to go to the rescue, and he must stick to Jiezhou City and wait for the arrival of Baiyunqi's reinforcements. Regarding this operation, Bai Yunfan once smiled with confidence and said: "It doesn't matter if we lose, we have a great hope of highlighting Dingbian City, and then take advantage of the location to maneuver with the allies for a while." So you don't have to make unnecessary sacrifices, and when you run away, the more people there are, the more troublesome it will be. ”

Geng Chengzhi gritted his teeth, turned over and dismounted, and gave a deep salute in the direction of Dingbian City: "General Bai, I hope you are auspicious, and you must cherish it!" Then he ordered the heralds beside him: "Go back to the city!" ”

Duanmu Ming sat down at the headquarters as steadily as Mount Tai, his face was full of color, how could there be a trace of sickness! At this moment, a cruel smile appeared on his handsome face, and the command flag in his hand was held high, and his voice was loud and loud: "Surround the White Legion, and the archers attack!" ”

Bai Yunfan's troops rushed left and right in the city, but they were always tightly united around the commander. Since everyone who came today was in the role of one as ten, and the heavy cavalry could not play a big role in the city, Duanmu Ming actually had nothing to do with them for a while, but they destroyed nearly 20,000 infantry. In desperation, Duanmu Ming had no choice but to force them into a corner, and then surrounded them and slowly consumed them with bows and arrows.

The infantry began to retreat in an orderly manner, and thousands of crossbowmen rushed forward with neat steps, Bai Yunfan had long expected Duanmu Ming to make this move, so he immediately gave a decisive order: "The infantry that entangles them, even if they die with the enemy, they can't get away!" ”

This dead end is very close to the broken wall, as long as their archers can't play a role, Bai Yunfan is still sure to take some of his men out of the city. Of course, they would not be stupid enough to break through the city gate, but there were more than 100,000 Hun cavalry waiting for them outside, and people could trample them into meat sauce with their horses' hooves.

So, Bai Yunfan's troops formed an attacking formation and pushed forward, entangled the other party to the death, at this time the sun had begun to set in the west, most of the supplies they brought were almost consumed, and now they only waited for it to get dark, and fled outside the city by night.

Zhang Chu's harem was brightly lit, and from time to time there were lewd men and women moaning in bliss on the cusp of the limelight in the queen's bedroom, and then the heavy wheezing sound slowly calmed down. Li Hao gently draped his clothes on his body and walked to the window, "Although Ning Lao opposes an alliance with the Xiongnu, he has always been an important minister of the country, and I believe that he will focus on the overall situation." ”

A ** man floated off the bed, he was naked like that, pressed against Li Hao's ass from behind, and wrapped his hands around his chest. "Your Majesty, it is indispensable to guard against others! If you think about the father and son of the Bai family in Daqi, as well as the ending of the Su family, these are all a few things under the eyes, you have to be careful, people are also well-intentioned. ”

The male pet swayed and swayed, Li Hao frowned, and didn't say anything, but his heart was already beating. No one in the emperor is not worried that his position will be spied on, and the Ning father and son have heavy troops in the court and have been in power for many years, and he is also afraid that one day there will be something like Bai Weiqi, in fact, he has long had a plan to put them down.

The day before yesterday, I just received a secret report, saying that the Ning father and son were suspected of deducting military salaries, and there was constant friction with the Xiongnu allies, and they actually forced Duanmu Ming to issue three bans to restrain the Huns, which made the allies complain. Therefore, he felt that Mr. Ning Da sent troops this time, at least he was arrogant, and he would definitely not be able to cooperate well with the Xiongnu, and even cause civil strife.

Of course, these secret reports are just a piece of cake for the intelligence chief Xu Yuyan, they mixed nine half-truths and half-truths from the front line to Zhang Chuguo, and then the male pet blew the fan fire on the pillow, Li Hao was a little tempted. Someone outside suddenly came to report: Liu Qianli asks to see!

A hint of unconcealable joy flashed across the man's face, and he retired with interest. This is also one of Xu Yuyan's plans. Liu Qianli thinks that he is talented, but in fact, he has long been dissatisfied with Mr. Ning Da, so Xu Yuyan sent people to spread rumors in Zhang Chu that Li Hao planned to change the commander before the battle, and Liu Qianli, as the best candidate, was already ready to move.

A moment later, Li Hao met Liu Qianli in the study. After Liu Qianli finished the salute, he bowed down and handed over a note, Li Hao glanced at it lazily and threw it on the table. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Ning has been attacking Jiezhou for a long time on the front line, and at present, Duanmu Ming has retreated for thirty miles, and my ** team is besieging but not attacking, which is really anxious." Liu Qianli hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The minister thinks that the way to march and fight is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. Your Majesty, please be wise! ”

This sentence was occasionally said by a wandering ranger on the street, of course, this was also deliberately let by Xu Yuyan to hear, and was authorized by the author Bai Yunqi, so he unceremoniously took it as his own theory. Li Hao is also a person in the circle, and when he pricked his ears, he heard the weight of this sentence, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he was full of praise for Liu Qianli: "Mr. Liu is worthy of being a famous man in my dynasty, not only proficient in internal affairs, but also definitely not below Mr. Ning in military talent." Then he involuntarily repeated Liu Qianli's incisive exposition, "The time is not as good as the location, the location is not as good as the people, good, hehe, good!" ”

Liu Qianli saw that the time was ripe, and immediately saluted: "Your Majesty is wise, but it is useful for thousands of miles, and the minister will never give up!" ”

Mr. Ning Da from Xie Zhou's side suddenly felt a warm heartbeat, and immediately looked around alertly. The scouts beside him reported: "Bai Yunfan led his troops to break through the siege, and now he has escaped from Dingbian City, and the Hun army is in hot pursuit." ”

Mr. Ning Da smiled coldly, "Want to run?" If I let you escape again this time, I should have written the word Ning backwards. He suddenly ordered the 20,000 light cavalry that had been assembled behind him and ready to go: "Chase the remnants of the White Army down the river, live to see people, and die to see corpses!" Ning Yuan bowed his head and led the troops to gallop towards Dingbian City like a gust of wind.

Bai Yunfan did break through, and there were less than 2,000 soldiers following him at the moment, including twenty killer troops, which was the trump card that Bai Yunqi specially allocated to him, and it was also a life-saving talisman that Bai Yunfan could really rely on.

After a whole day and night of marching and fighting, even the iron-clad man was a little overwhelmed. Bai Yunfan's arrow wound is getting more and more serious, although the external injury has been bandaged a little, but the residual poison on the arrow has made it difficult for him to even walk, and he is close to prostration at this time, if it is not for the protection of several guards around him, he will not even be able to get out of the city.
