Volume 2 See the Dragon in the Wild Chapter 65 Calculate and Conquer Anyi

The next day, Li Mu ordered Zhang Nan to lead an army of 4,000 to garrison Linqiang City, ordered Dian Wei and Feng Xi to lead an army of 4,000 to ambush on the left side of Luoqiang Valley thirty miles southwest of Anyi City, and Li Mu, Fu Yan, and Deng Zhi led an army of 4,000 to ambush on the right side of Luoqiang Valley. Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei took Yakta and led an army of 3,000 Han troops to ambush in a valley more than ten miles southeast of Anyi City.

Li Mu was well arranged, and around the end of the day, Wang Ping led two thousand Han troops to the city of Anyi. Wang Ping knew the art of war and strategy, and ordered the Han army to stop and pretend to be listless, and the Han army stood under the city, shouting and scolding the Qiang soldiers on the city wall.

The Qiang soldiers in the city had already reported the Han army's coming to attack the city to Buku Clam. In about a quarter of an hour, Buku Clam came to the city wall, saw the Han army under the city, the military discipline was loose, the army was untidy, and the morale was low, and when he heard the insults of the Han army, he was already so angry that he wanted to kill the Han army under the city.

When the lieutenant general of Buku Clam saw it, he hurriedly comforted him and said: "Leader, now that the time has passed, the sun will get bigger and bigger, so let our people rest for an hour first, and when the Han soldiers outside the city are sleepy and demoralized, the villain and the leader will lead the army to kill, and they will be able to kill all this group of Han troops." ”

Buku Clam smashed his fist on the city wall and said angrily: "Good! Then let these Han army cubs live for another hour, and it can be regarded as my Buku clam's mercy to them. ”

An hour later, the time was almost up. Buku Clam took 5,000 Qiang soldiers and slaughtered out of the city with great momentum. However, Wang Ping saw that the Qiang soldiers had not left the city after an hour, and had already ordered the Han army to prepare for retreat. At this time, Wang Ping saw that the Qiang soldiers were killing out of the city, and with an order, the Han army immediately threw away their armor, turned their horses' heads, and began to retreat towards Luoqiang Valley.

Buku Clam had already been angry, and when he saw that the Han army was defeated without a fight, he was even more furious, urging the Qiang soldiers to chase and kill the Han army. However, no matter how the Qiang soldiers of Buku Clam pursued, they were always two arrows behind the Han army. About two quarters of an hour, the five thousand Qiang soldiers of Buku Clam came to Luoqiang Valley. Buku Clam saw that the Han army was gone, and when he was surprised in his heart, he saw that countless rockets were shooting at the Qiang soldiers, and countless fireballs rolled down on the slopes on both sides of the Luoqiang Valley.

In an instant, thousands of Qiang soldiers were killed by arrows, and the Qiang soldiers were suddenly in chaos, scurrying around, and the sound of wailing and screaming resounded through the valley. Buku Clam had already been frightened, and he knew that the Qiang soldiers were all over. Buku Clam also knew that on the valley on both sides, the Qiang soldiers could not climb up, and the Qiang soldiers could only break through along both sides of the valley road. Buku clam roared, letting the Qiang soldiers follow him to break through, and the Qiang soldiers at this time had already become a pot of porridge. Buku clam couldn't take care of the Qiang soldiers, so he only took two or three hundred personal guards, rode his horse and whipped, and ran towards the valley mouth.

Bukuha ran wildly for a mile, only to see that a Han army in front of him blocked the way, led by two Han army generals, one with a yellow face and black armor holding a double iron halberd, and the other with a majestic face holding a long knife. These two Han army generals were Dian Wei and Wang Ping. It turned out that Dian Wei saw that the Qiang soldiers were gone, so he led two thousand Han troops to intercept and kill the leader of the Qiang soldiers. Buku Clam looked at the endless Han army in front of him, his heart was broken, and he was about to turn his horse's head and break through to the valley mouth on the other side.

Dian Wei roared: "Kill all the Qiang people and dog thieves, and take revenge!" ”

As soon as Dian Wei's words fell, he took the lead and rushed over with a double iron halberd. Wang Ping was naturally not to be left behind, he raised his horse and whipped, dragging a long knife and rushing over, the Han army was full of fighting spirit and murderous spirit, roaring to kill the Qiang soldiers. Everywhere Dian Wei and Wang Ping went, there were dead and wounded, and none of their subordinates were together.

Buku Clam peeked at the guards behind him, and only a dozen horses remained. Suddenly, Buku Clam felt a cold wind coming from the back of his head, and before he could lower his head, he saw a human head hanging on the iron halberd in Dian Wei's right hand. Dian Wei and Wang Ping did not stop, urging the troops to kill the group of Qiang soldiers who were still breathing in the Luoqiang Valley Road.

However, he said that when Buku Clam led his guards to break through, the rear army of the Qiang soldiers was also breaking through towards the valley mouth that came in. The Qiang soldiers hadn't escaped for a mile, only to see a Han army blocking the way in front of them, led by the Han army general, white-clothed and silver-armored with a spear, this person was Fu Yan. It turned out that Li Mu saw that the Qiang soldiers were already lost dogs, and he was panicked and could not live all day, so he ordered Fu He to take 2,000 Han troops to block the valley mouth and wave his troops to intercept and kill the Qiang soldiers.

Just as the Qiang soldiers hesitated, whether to continue to rush forward or retreat into the valley. The Han army in front of him rushed over like a tiger descending from the mountain. Fu He took the lead and killed the crowd of Qiang soldiers, with a spear in his hand, flying up and down, sweeping left and right, as if entering a no-man's land. The Han army behind Fu Yan had green eyes and roared into the crowd of Qiang soldiers. In an instant, most of the Qiang soldiers in front of the Han army died.

In this way, Dian Wei, Wang Ping and Fu Yi respectively led thousands of Han troops to kill from the valley mouth on both sides of Luoqiang Valley to the valley. About three quarters of an hour, the battle was over, and the corpses of the Qiang soldiers in the valley road were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river. In this battle, Buku Clam, his lieutenant general, and five thousand Qiang soldiers were all wiped out; The Han army suffered more than 100 casualties; More than 2,000 usable horses were seized. Li Mu ordered the Han army to assemble and march towards Anyi City.

However, he said that when Buku Clam was chasing and killing the Han army with 5,000 Qiang soldiers, a Tanma had already reported the news to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei led 3,000 Han troops with Yakta, and rushed all the way to Anyi City. About a quarter of an hour, the Han army came to the east gate of Anyi City, Yakta stepped forward, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, I am the leader of Poqiang City, Yakta, let me and others enter the city quickly, the Han army has broken through Poqiang City and Linqiang City, and our army is retreating from Poqiang City and Linqiang City." ”

A Qiang soldier in the city poked his head out and shouted: "The villain has seen the leader of Yakta, the leader of Buku Clam has led people to chase and kill the Han army, please wait outside the city for a while, the villain has the responsibility to guard the city, dare not open the city rashly, and ask the leader of Yakta to forgive his sins!" ”

Seeing that these thousand households were so cautious, Yakta roared angrily: "Okay, then the general will lead the army to the Western Capital and report the rebellion of Anyi City to the two big leaders of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou word for word!" ”

With that, Jacques was ready to return to the formation. The Qiang soldiers had also heard the name of Yakta, and besides, Yakta's clothes were exactly what the leader could wear. At this time, when he heard Yakta reversing black and white like this, although he was angry in his heart, he could only endure it, and then, the Qiang soldier smiled and said: "The leader of Yakta, please stay, please forgive the adults for the offense just now, and the villain will open the city gate and personally welcome the adults into the city." ”

Afterwards, the Qiang soldiers ran down the city wall, opened the city gates, and went out of the city to meet the Yakta in person. Yakta didn't blame the Qiang soldiers, but just let him lead the way. Zhang Liao saw that the Han army had successfully entered the city gate, so he waved the Qiang soldiers into two sections with a halberd, and shouted: "Brothers, kill all the Qiang people and dog thieves, and take revenge!" ”

After Zhang Liao finished shouting, he took the lead and rushed into the city, and the Han army behind him roared and killed into the city. Some Qiang soldiers who couldn't run were lying on the ground, begging for mercy, but the Han army didn't answer, and rushed forward with a knife.

Jiang Wei had already followed the plan and led the Han army to rush to the eastern city wall of Anyi City, and cut down anyone he encountered. The Qiang soldiers on the city wall saw that the Han army was numerous, so they fled along the city wall. Jiang Wei divided the Han army into two and pursued the Qiang soldiers along the city wall like lost dogs. About half an hour, the Han army led by Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei killed more than 2,000 Qiang soldiers in Anyi City. Only the hundreds of Qiang soldiers at the west gate and south gate of Anyi City did not wait for the Han army to kill, and then opened the city and fled to the western capital.

In this battle, the Han army suffered fifteen casualties; beheaded more than 1,700 Qiang soldiers; More than 3,000 horses were seized, and no money, food, or ordnance were counted. Just when Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei were on the list of Anmin, Li Mu, Dian Wei, Deng Zhi, Wang Ping, Fu Yan, and Feng Xi led the Han army to Anyi City. Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei invited Li Mu and his party into the mansion, everyone sat down, Li Mu stroked his palms and laughed: "You have worked hard, you can take Anyi City, thanks to Bo Miao's clever plan." Of course, thanks to the intentions of the generals, the courage of the Han army, and the unity of one heart and one mind, this great victory was achieved. Congratulations! ”

The crowd shouted, "The Lord is wise! We are willing to go to the soup for the Lord, and I will not give up! ”

Li Mu nodded, and said loudly: "Now, the three cities of Poqiang, Linqiang, and Anyi are all owned by our army, if we can defeat the main forces of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou in the western capital, we can pacify Xiping County." Do you have a solution? ”

Deng Zhi muttered: "Lord, now there are more than 50,000 Qiang soldiers in the west, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win in a hurry, so it is better to hold on to the three cities of Poqiang, Linqiang, and Anyi." Moreover, first, the Qiang soldiers were not good at attacking cities; Second, the Qiang soldiers were numerous, and the food and grass were naturally insufficient, so they did not dare to last. When the Qiang soldiers run out of food and retreat, our army will be able to make achievements by waiting for work! ”

Zhang Liao saw that Li Mu just nodded, and did not speak, and then said: "Big brother, the military advisor's plan is safe, I am afraid it will take some time to break the enemy." I'm afraid that the Qiang thieves in Longxi and Wudu counties will take the opportunity to besiege my Jincheng County. ”

Wang Ping continued: "My lord, General Zhao, General Huang, and General Xu are all Wen Taowu, and they will definitely be able to make Jincheng County safe and sound!" The subordinates approve of the strategy of the military division! ”

Jiang Wei continued: "Lord, my subordinates think that our army should enter the Western Capital with the power of a great victory, and annihilate the enemy!" ”

Fu Yan continued: "My lord, my subordinates agree with Boyo's statement, if our army cannot win, it is not too late to retreat to Anyi. ”

Dian Wei and Feng Xi glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Lord, my subordinates approve of the military advisor's strategy!" ”

Li Mu looked around at everyone and said, "I am deeply gratified that you are of one heart and one mind, willing to speak freely and make suggestions." ”

Li Mu paused, and then said, "What you all said makes sense! Presumably, at the latest, tomorrow, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou of the Western Capital will know the news that the three cities have been lost. These two will surely be angry and come to take the city. Tonight, the army rushed to Changning Beach, more than 50 miles northwest of Anyi City, where there are big rivers in the north and east, which are the only places where the west will attack Anyi. When the time comes, you can ambush the troops in the west of Changning Beach, and when our army enters from the south, there are big rivers blocking it in the east and north, and the Qiang soldiers will inevitably flee from the west of Changning Beach. ”

The crowd pondered for a while, and then said aloud, "The Lord is really a man of God!" Subordinates admire! ”

Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm just brainstorming!" Ordered Zhang Nan to transfer 2,000 Han troops from Linqiang City, and Feng Xi to guard Anyi City. Zhang Liao, Wang Ping, and Jiang Wei led 6,000 troops to ambush in the west of Changning Beach, and I, Deng Zhi, Fu Yan, and Dian Wei led 7,000 troops to attack the Qiang thieves from the south! I hope that all of you, guard against arrogance and rashness, work with one heart and one mind, and make new achievements! ”

Everyone stood up and clasped their fists and said, "My subordinates will abide by the teachings of the lord and live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Li Mu immediately passed down the general's order, let the Han army bury the pot to cook, hurry up and rest, and wait for the two thousand Han troops in Linqiang City to come, the army marched west to Changning Beach, and the camera broke the enemy!
