Fortunately, Xu Shu was also prepared, and immediately put his hand to his ear, made it look like he was listening attentively, and shot back loudly at the horn: "What are you talking about?" Our General Ma Chao and General Wei Yan have already fought in Guanzhong? How come we don't know? Don't lie to me. Vertex updates the fastest"

The Shu army immediately burst into laughter, but Jiang Wei didn't react for a while, and looked at Xu Shu in surprise, weren't we still talking about Ma Chao and Wei Yan's actions in Guanzhong just now?

When the Wei army who was cheering heard this, they were even more stunned than Jiang Wei, and the cheering immediately stopped.

What the hell is going on?

Xu Shu saw the immediate effect of his words, and hurriedly took advantage of the enemy's quiet time to continue shouting: "I just received a letter saying that you sent Zhang to attack our Wudu, but we were defeated by General Wei Yan and the whole army was annihilated. ”

He didn't know the details of the battle between Wei Yan and Zhang now, but he just listened to Ge Liang say that he was a good friend of Confucianism, so that those who wrote books would blow his victory to the sky, downplay his defeat, and even turn defeat into victory. The so-called clever change, in fact, is a clever argument, good to drill the camp, see the wind to make the rudder, when it is really time to surrender, the possibility of surrender is very much

Bigger.

But his words were very effective, because most of the Wei soldiers knew that Zhang had been ordered to go to Wudu to harass the Shu army's grain transportation line, and everyone's faces changed suddenly and they were very nervous.

Seeing that the enemy was panicked, Xu Shu then wanted to verify one thing, and immediately asked loudly: "You ran to Jicheng and stayed outside the city for so many days without moving, did you suffer some blow and didn't dare to come out?" Where's your Lord Cao Zhen? Why haven't we seen him come down to the city to talk to us? Was it shot to death by a brick? Or, was it stupid to be photographed? ”

I didn't want to think that although he guessed it, but because Cao Zhen concealed the injury in advance, the ordinary sergeant didn't know about it, but Cao Zhen hurriedly seized this opportunity, once again endured the pain and urged the horse to come out of the formation, and shouted loudly: "Xu Shu, you show me clearly, I, Cao Zhen, am safe and sound, very energetic, and I am holding back my strength, just waiting for you to come out of the city today to die!" ”

When I finally finished speaking, I couldn't help the pain and coughed a few times.

Xu Shu saw it clearly, and was sure that Cao Zhen was injured, and it was only possible that he had fallen into the trap set by Ge Liang, but the injury was only light, and he immediately asked Hou: "General Cao seems to be unwell, it can't be that he was hit in the chest by a brick, and his breath is not smooth, right?" ”

Cao Zhen doesn't want to fight with the enemy anymore, the more he fights, the more he suffers, I, Cao Zhen, have to shoulder the heavy responsibility, how can I be smashed down by a brick! At that moment, he drew the sword at his waist with his intact right arm, and waved his arm: "All the soldiers listen to the order!" Although I, Cao Zhen, occasionally contracted the cold, I must also put the country first and fight hard to kill the enemy! Soldiers, now is the time for us to serve the country and make meritorious contributions

Sortie! ”

For this kind of chariot formation, although there was no catapult to restrain it, Cao Zhen was also prepared, the first sergeant held a large shield that could protect most of the body to resist the enemy's arrow rain, while the other sergeants with small shields followed closely behind, holding spears and machetes, following behind the big shield, shouting and rushing towards the enemy.

Xu Shu and Jiang Wei hurriedly led the sergeants to retreat into the car formation.

The sergeants first blocked the enemy's attack with a shower of arrows, dodging some of the enemy soldiers who were running and showing their bodies, but after all, the effect was not great, and the enemy quickly rushed to the front of the chariot formation under the cover of the big shield.

At this time, the commander of the Shu army took the lead in climbing on the roof of the chariot, waving his spear, and stabbing at the approaching enemy. The archers, who were hiding behind the cars, continued to fire arrows into the sky, continuing to attack the enemy's ranks by projectile.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, after all, the Shu army stood on the roof of the car and occupied a high place, and still took a lot of advantage, and the impact of the Wei army was repulsed many times, but the Shu army also suffered some casualties.

Ge Liang saw that Cao Zhenquan was a shield soldier sent by him in the city, and he couldn't take much advantage, so he hurriedly took advantage of the enemy's wave of attacks and was repulsed, Mingjin collected his troops, and asked Gao Xiang to lead the army out of the city, and received Xu Shu and them to retreat to the city.

"Cao Zhen is really a brave man, he was obviously injured by a brick, but he can still fight with injuries and organize such a fierce attack." As soon as Xu Shu entered the city, he first sighed to Ge Liang.

Ge Liang smiled: "I didn't say that Cao Zhen was afraid of death, that guy, in the dangerous terrain like the Bao Slope Road, he has been pressing General Deng Zhi to beat, this injury is really nothing to him." ”

"Ge Gong, the enemy's attack is so fierce, you see ......" Jiang Wei was anxious, he didn't see if the enemy was in a hurry about the situation in Guanzhong.

Ge Liang relieved him: "The enemy's general is Cao Zhen, and the attack must be fierce, but that doesn't mean they don't want to go back to Guanzhong?" You should know that when retreating, if you can't make the enemy undetectable, you need a victory to cover up the intention of retreating, so that the enemy will not dare to let go of the pursuit for a while. ”

"Although we withdrew, it doesn't mean that they won this battle, and our casualties may only be half of theirs." Jiang Wei was also worried that Ge Liang said that he didn't learn the car formation well.

Ge Liang smiled: "Cao Zhen is very strong in fighting, so I sent your chariot formation to fight, just to minimize casualties." In this battle, in fact, what we want is to fight fiercely, and in the end we have to withdraw first, but there must be no heavy casualties. ”

"Ge Gong means ......" Jiang Wei could see that Ge Liang was still very satisfied with the results.

Xu Shu had already discussed with Ge Liang, and at this time he came out to relieve Jiang Wei's doubts: "Because Cao Xiu retreated after a big defeat last time, we desperately chased him and beat him badly." This time, Cao Zhenlai, how much do you have to learn a lesson, right? So, let's let him win first! Well, just a superficial victory. ”

"What do you mean ......," Jiang Wei hurriedly asked Xu Shu again.

At this time, Ge Liang replied: "If Cao Zhen is really not worried, he has held back for so long, and he has won a battle, he will definitely take advantage of the high morale to come and attack the city once, if he does not come by tomorrow, he will definitely be ready to retreat, and at that time, we will have to send out the whole army and pursue it with all our strength again." ”

"The last time Cao Xiu fought was to chase after victory, this time, is it called chasing after defeat?" Jiang Wei didn't know what words to use to sum it up, and there was no such statement in the military book.

Xu Shu hurriedly replied again: "The plan to defeat the enemy is endlessly changing. Cao Zhen is not a fool, and he will definitely sum up the lessons of Cao Xiu's defeat. According to Ge Gong, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen both won with bravery, but you see that this time, he is completely opposite to Cao Xiu's approach, and it is also different from his tactics in the Bao Chuan Road. Well, now that he's changed,

Let's do the opposite. ”

"Oh, change to change, change before the enemy. Well, ingenuity wins. Jiang Wei finally figured out the words.

Ge Liang and Xu Shu hurriedly affirmed: "It's a coincidence, not a clever argument." ”

Jiang Wei didn't understand again: "I mean a coincidence, right?" (To be continued.) )
