Chapter 44: Drawing the Serpent Out of the Hole

The thief soldier who was slapped over when he landed covered his cheeks with his hands and felt a hot and painful sensation, and hurriedly nodded frantically like a chicken boy cutting rice, staggered and stood up, hurriedly turned over his horse, waved his hand to summon hundreds of cavalry, and let the place where the black smoke and fire soared straight away.

"Boss, don't be in a hurry". An extraordinary-looking strategist next to him stepped forward and said, "There is no doubt that the coming general must be Gao Ye, he only takes a hundred light horsemen, and he comes and goes like the wind, and it is already too late."

"But...... All-Army Food ...... And how did Liu Ye suddenly dare to decide to send Gao Ye out of the city." Lu Zhi frowned, his face was not good-looking, this Xinye Taishou had been cowering in the city, why did he suddenly ......

Attack it unprepared, surprise!

After thinking of this, Lu Zhi patted his head in annoyance, it was really capsized in the gutter, careless, careless, now that the army is out of food, it will have to withdraw when the time comes.

Looking at the depressed Lu Zhi, the strategist did not have the slightest intention of panicking, but smiled and said calmly: "Don't panic, the boss, there is a plan to directly take down Xinye."

"What do you say? Take down Shinno". When the frustrated Lu Zhi heard this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, as if he was grasping a life-saving straw, and looked directly at the smiling and silent strategist.

The extraordinary-looking strategist pointed in the direction of Shinno and said, "Now that Gao Ye is not in the city, it is a good time to attack the city, and you should not miss it, take Shinno in one fell swoop!"

"Also, only a part of the grain was burned, and the purpose was to make it an illusion, to lure the snake out of the hole." The strategist smirked, his eagle eyes sharpened, as if nothing was out of his hands. I am very satisfied with the trap I have set.

Lu Zhi was shocked: "Sir, you mean that Gao Ye burned only a little just now, and most of the others are hidden in other places"?

Seeing Lu Zhi so surprised, the strategist smiled, then nodded and said, "That's right, he burned only a small part, there is no loss at all, and if you lose this, you can lead them out of the city."

Lu Zhi was slightly sluggish before he woke up to the award, like pulling out the clouds and seeing the blue sky, it was really a word to wake up the dreamer, and immediately bowed to the strategist: "Mr. is talented, I will admire the five bodies to the ground."

The strategist hurriedly returned the salute, and Lu Zhi actually saluted himself! He is the leader of an army, and I myself am only a strategist.

The strategist's heart was full of satisfaction, and with a little trickery, it seemed that promotion and fortune were just around the corner.

Of course, Lu Zhi didn't know what he was thinking, and at this time, he had already waved his hand and ordered to go down to prepare for the siege, while he strode into the camp, put on armor, and wore a long sword.

Meanwhile.

The other side......

Gao Ye, who led the hundred horsemen to burn the grain, saw the mountain of grain just now, and after a moment it was swallowed by the flames, it became a pile of ashes.

Just left with peace of mind, Gao Ye sneered in his heart, there will be no food at that time, look at how you still surround it, retreat without a fight, it is the so-called soldier who surrenders without a fight, and the best strategy is also.

With such a burn, the siege of Xinye was finally solved, and the thief army did not have the advantage of food, as long as it could not take Xinye quickly, it could only retreat, even if it did not retreat, the army would definitely mutinied.

Obviously, the thief army will not be able to take Xinye for a while.

Winning a war without blood, there is no doubt that it is much more awesome than the enemy's 1,000 and 800 self-inflicted losses.

"General, look, someone is catching up." A panicked voice came from behind him.

Gao Ye looked back and found that there were a lot of torches jumping in the distance and chasing after him, the number of torches was not very large, and the number of people was about one or two times more than that of the other party.

"Let's go"!

Hundreds of people, Gao Ye is really not afraid, but what he is afraid of is that when the real army of thieves comes, it will not be easy to break through, because not only is there a large number of people, but also the dark night, it is difficult to see the direction clearly.

"Let them escape." The leader roared, raised his spear, and gave orders.

Hundreds of chasing horsemen were ordered, and they all drew a few arrows from the quiver hanging next to the horse, took their bows and arrows, aimed at the hooves of the horses that were still running in front of them, and after finding the target, they all loosened their strings and released their arrows.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh". Nearly 400 arrows, one after another, like meteors chasing the moon, shot at Gao Ye and the others for a while.

However, it was pitch black all around, and although the thieves had torches, they only illuminated a small area, so the result of a round of arrows was not very ideal, and it can be said that all of them missed.

"Go on"!

The arrows rained down like a burst of arrows into the distance.

Suddenly, a cavalryman sat down behind Gao Ye, and the horse neighed violently, and the feather arrow on the horse's belly directly did not enter half of it, and the horse's body fell to the ground, and the hooves struggled and fluttered and kicked, and the cavalry also fell out and rolled a few times.

Gao Ye saw the fallen cavalry, his heart hesitated, the next second, he gritted his teeth and heart, his heel clamped the horse's belly, shook the reins and rode back, shouting: "You go first, leave me alone!" ”

He rode back with the reins, spun his silver spear in his hand, and flew the arrows that were fierce like a drizzle, and rode his horse to the side of the cavalry. With his left hand, he pulled the reins outward, and the moment the horse tilted, he reached out his arm and pulled the dazed cavalryman onto the horse.

Whew". A feathered arrow passed through Takano's arm impartially, and the fear made him sweat beads on his back, and he brushed shoulders with death, almost shooting the center of the brain.

After a set of smooth actions rescued the cavalry, Gao Ye did not dare to slack off for half a minute, and quickly urged him to turn around and leave.

The hundred cavalry just now were just slowing down, and after seeing Gao Ye rescue his companions safe and sound, he sighed that Gao Ye was covering the clouds, and patted his horse to speed up.

Stop. The man at the head saw that the hundred horsemen were walking very fiercely, and knew that he could not catch up, so he ordered the thieves to stop and turn back.

Shinno Castle ......

Under the city, the dense ant-like thieves poured into the city wall like a flood.

And the city is also headed by Lu Bu, Wei Yan, Zhou Cang, Xing Daorong and others, standing on the city wall.

The arrows were staggered and dense like rain, and the thieves pushed ladders, siege vehicles, wells, etc., approaching the city wall step by step.

"Why did the thief army suddenly attack in the middle of the night." Lu Bu was puzzled, he was still in a dream a moment ago.

Wei Yan grabbed three arrows and put them on the two-stone bow, drew the bowstring, and shot fiercely, he couldn't answer Lu Bu's question, and he couldn't figure out why he attacked in the middle of the night.

The defenders moved
