Chapter 17: The Sacrificial Mockery
Of course, I know that the strategy I am talking about is no different from suicide, but now there are only three hundred old and weak soldiers in Yuannan City, and without my strategy, I estimate that with Zheng Liang's character, I will have to use almost all of my belongings to fight to the death with the barbarian soldiers.
Besides, how high can a guy who dares to lead a small number of troops deep into enemy territory and attack the city with great fanfare? As long as I give enough bait, I don't believe she won't take the bait!
Thinking of this, I stood up with a smile and walked to Fan Anguo's side, gently held his shoulders and said to him: "Fan Xianling, don't panic, do you think I'm stupid when I'm young?" Tell you the truth. As I spoke, I pointed to the dense forest on the east side of Yuannan City and said to him, "I borrowed 3,000 elite soldiers from your brother-in-law before I left, and now I am ambushing in that dense forest. As long as the leader of the barbarians takes the bait, as soon as my three thousand elite soldiers come out, she will be captured even if she is Lu Bu's reincarnation. ”
"Hahahaha, you didn't say it sooner." Fan Anguo's face immediately turned cloudy and clear, and he said to me with a relieved smile: "The lower officials are only worried about your safety, and they have no intention of cowardly the enemy. ”
I also laughed, pulled him to sit down again, and said to him, "Lord Gong's relatives still need to say, quickly tell someone to do it!" Kill the barbarians, and I will give you a great credit to the lord! ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Fan Anguo's eyes were so happy that they were about to narrow into a line, only the few people who came with me, including Qing'er, looked at each other a little, but Jiang Xiaoyu had a serious face, I knew that he had already given up in order to save his father.
Fan Anguo was very cooperative and prepared two boats by the river according to my instructions, one boat was slightly larger, similar to a painting boat for dignitaries and nobles to play, and the other was very simple, similar to the ferry boat that Jiang Xiaoyu had carried me before.
Pigs and sheep were prepared on the boat, as well as the drums of the dozens of people I requested, but of course it was nothing, and a large amount of gold was filled with silver plates in front of the bow of the boat facing Taoyuan and the pig's head on the table. Although it was already dusk, the sunset at this time was also exceptionally bright, and the effect I wanted was exactly what I wanted to shine on the gold.
Fan Anguo took a hundred soldiers to cheer me on the shore, while Jiang Xiaoyu's boat was hundreds of feet upstream of me, and he himself was a captain who didn't need to pretend to be alive.
The painting boat slowly drove towards Jiang Xin, Qing'er was strictly ordered by me to stay in the city, although I thought this plan was a clever plan, but in case of failure, I didn't want to put her in it.
Before the boat reached the center of the river, the drums began to play in unison, and when the Taoyuan City in the center of the river gradually became clear, I realized why I only saw a few enemy soldiers looking at the bamboo raft on the other side of the river. As the gate of Taoyuan City opened far away, a female general wearing a red helmet and red armor riding a snow-white war horse rushed over with hundreds of people waving flags and shouting.
There are many forests in the south, I don't know where Zheng Liang is hiding now, and now I have nothing to retreat from, the drums are still playing in unison on the painting boat, and I even picked up the largest gold ingot from the silver plate on the offering table and held it up to the woman to see the color of the gold in the sun.
How ironic is that? The female general in the red robe on the other side of the river did not hesitate at all when she arrived at the river, and the men around her not only did not stop her, but rushed to get on the rest of the bamboo rafts, and a few sturdy barbarian men supported the penny and got the rafts off the shore in a few clicks.
There were forty or fifty bamboo rafts rushing over, and there were four or five people on each raft, and the total number of people was two or three hundred. No wonder they didn't give me face at all for the "cheerleaders" on the shore, and the hundred heavily armed soldiers who were in love with them all became the heads of the people who asked for a reward!
I would have liked to be like my husband and slowly put down the gold ingots, wait for them for a while, and then order them to leave like a child. I didn't expect this barbarian water kung fu to be uncovered, in the blink of an eye, it was already a lot faster, at this speed, I only need to drink a cup of tea, the kung fu people can already jump on my boat and capture me.
I hurriedly ordered the boat to sail back, and after a short drive I realized that something was wrong, and at this rate I was probably overtaken by the barbarian soldiers before I reached the shore. Especially the red-robed female general, her bamboo raft is obviously the best boat master, and other bamboo rafts have been pulled away by her four or five feet away, and the raft is the first to run to me.
I secretly regret that I am not prepared for difficulties, how can this Wuxi barbarian tribe not be proficient in water kung fu after living in this land for hundreds of years? It is certainly not an accident that the daughter of the barbarian king led people down the river to capture Taoyuan County so quickly!
I was embarrassed and said to the musicians who were still playing the drums but were already playing a little weak, don't blow it! One counts as one! All row for Lao Tzu! ”
The face of the barbarian king's daughter is getting clearer and clearer, it is really a heroic posture, there is no taste, that heroic, that face, if it falls into my hands and is concocted, I don't know if it will be cool God!
But she had already drawn her sword, and there was no trace of tenderness in her eyes when she looked at me. I've seen this kind of look countless times on TV, and it's a look that kills and then fast!
The "cheerleaders" on the shore did not panic much. Because they already knew that I had 3,000 elite soldiers ambushed in the dense forest east of the city, but Lao Tzu was very panicked now, and I knew that if I was caught by that woman, it would not be just a matter of being concocted.
When the boat reached the shore, the bamboo raft of the female general was less than twenty feet away from me, and I was the first to jump onto the ferry board of the small pier on the shore, and shouted: "Evacuate to the city with me!" ”
My "cheerleaders" ran towards the city in front of me with a bang, because I didn't expect the enemy to chase so fast, I didn't even prepare a horse in advance, if Kong Ming would have been ready. As I ran to the city gate, I said to myself, "I said loose, you can have a longer memory!" ”
Fortunately, the gold on the ship bought me some time to escape into the city, and I saw that the red-robed general and her men on board had jumped onto the boat I had just used to sacrifice. When Fan Anguo and I climbed up to the top of the city out of breath, the people on the boat cheered in celebration of victory. Not far away, the raft under the rest of the barbarian king's daughter was only twenty or thirty zhang away from the painting boat.
Fan Anguo looked at the dense forest in the east of the city and said to me anxiously: "Lord Taishou, where are your ambushes?" If you don't kill it again, the barbarians will run away with the gold.
I sighed, my subordinates, including Qing'er, all looked at me with a helpless expression, I knew that it was not okay to make a decision, I said to Fan Anguo: "Not yet, as soon as these three thousand people come out, it is estimated that the barbarian girl will run away, you find a few loud voices to shout at the barbarian girl, saying that the Taishou of Wuling County is here, let her come to the city and I will negotiate with her!" ”
