"General Yan, what should we do now?" Yang Feng asked, his expression a little frustrated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Why don't we retreat and camp first, and then attack the city after the soldiers have recovered." Zhang Yi offered a plan.

Ling Yan shook his head: "No...... I don't think Li Damu has enough troops right now, he is stalling for time and waiting for reinforcements to arrive...... It would be even more difficult if we attacked the city after their reinforcements arrived. ”

Zhang Yi's face was difficult: "But we have just been defeated for a while, and now not only are the soldiers low, but there are also many wounded, how can we attack the city immediately?" ”

Ling Yan said firmly: "There's no way, even if there are more difficulties now, we must take Juye as soon as possible, otherwise the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us." ”

Wen Ping nodded: "What General Yan said is reasonable, it's just ...... How can you break through the Juye ...... in a short period of time?"

Ling Yan thought for a moment, then looked at You Heng: "General You, how many soldiers and horses have we lost?" ”

You Heng said: "The defeat of Fang Cai has lost more than 1,000 soldiers and wounded more than 4,000 soldiers. ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Hmm...... That's it: here we set up camp, where the wounded recuperate, and guarded the camp; General Wen Ping, General Lu Gong, and General Yang Feng led my army to attack the city; The rest of the generals guarded the village together with the national teacher. ”

After thinking about it, everyone agreed with Ling Yan's idea.

Wen Ping asked, "Then when are we leaving?" ”

Ling Yan said: "Without further ado, march immediately and attack the city at night!" I think Li Damu will definitely be proud after winning once, and this is also the best time for us to attack! ”

"Good!" Wen Ping replied loudly, he had just fallen for Li Da's plan, he was depressed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to take revenge.

Ling Yan pointed at the butcher again and said, "You go with you." ”

The butcher was obviously reluctant and hesitated: "This ......"

Ling Yan said: "You promised to help me, I may need you in a while...... Rest assured, I'll keep you safe. ”

The butcher hesitated for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.

The plan was decided, so Ling Yan selected 20,000 soldiers who were not injured, and immediately marched towards Juye with Wen Ping and other three generals and butchers.

After walking for more than half an hour, Wen Ping pointed to the distance not far in front and said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, the front is Fang Cai...... The Land of Schemes. ”

Ling Yan estimated that the enemy army should not be ambushed twice in the same place, but he still looked around the terrain very cautiously and said, "This place is not far from Juye, and Li Damu is likely to send ambush soldiers to hide nearby...... General Yang, you lead a group of troops and horses to survey the surrounding terrain and find out if there are any enemy ambushes in the vicinity. ”

Yang Feng agreed, and led an army to explore the road first.

Ling Yan said to Lu Gong again: "General Lu, after you lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, if you are attacked by the enemy's ambush soldiers, we will attack back and forth. ”

Duke Lu led five thousand people and stayed where he was for the time being, wanting to distance himself from Ling Yan.

After the arrangements were made, Ling Yan said to Wen Ping: "Let's march slowly, first, try not to startle the snake, and second, to avoid going deep into the enemy's ambush area. ”

Wen Ping nodded and gave Ling Yan's order to the soldiers.

When he came to the place where he was ambushed just now, Ling Yan saw that there were corpses all over the ground, and there were many stumps and broken arms, and there were rivers of blood flowing around the corpses.

Ling Yan couldn't bear to see it, so he quickly moved his gaze to the mountain on the right. At night, the mountains are pitch black, giving people a sense of fear, but it is undeniable that setting up an ambush here is indeed the best choice.

"Could it be that Li Damu really has this kind of strategy?" Ling Yan secretly asked himself in his heart, "If that's the case, then I really have to be more cautious." ”

Ling Yan ordered the soldiers and horses not to make a noise as much as possible, and to march more slowly.

However, he never encountered the enemy ambush again, and not long after, Yang Feng also returned.

"General Yan, no enemy troops have been found nearby." Yang Fengdao.

Ling Yan also expected that there should be no ambushes, so he said to the generals: "Since there are no ambushes here, then we will go directly to attack the city!" After saying that, he said to the butcher, "I will need you immediately." ”

The butcher nodded a little reluctantly.

Ling Yan called the broken Duke Lu back, and the army marched some distance, during which Ling Yan told everyone in detail about his plan.

When everyone fully understood Ling Yan's strategy, they were already able to see Juye City not far away. In the night, Juye Castle stands majestically, and more than a dozen torches on the city illuminate the surrounding light.

And the continuous hills along the way have come to an end here, and there is almost an open space in front of them, so Juye City, which was built in the middle of that wilderness, seems very abrupt.

Ling Yan and Lu Gong changed into soldiers' clothes according to the original plan. Then the butcher took more than 200 soldiers, including Ling Yan and Lu Gong, and walked towards Juye City. The rest of the soldiers were ambushed in the woods by the roadside.

Ling Yan mingled among the soldiers and followed the butcher to the foot of Juye City. At this time, Ling Yan was extremely nervous, for fear that the butcher would show his feet, and even more worried that he would change his mind for a while and defect.

However, the butcher's performance made Ling Yan feel a little relieved.

The butcher took a few steps forward, looked up and shouted at the guards of the city, "Open the door, it's me!" ”

The soldiers in the city looked at the butcher: "Who are you?" Quote your name! ”

The butcher reported his name, and then said loudly: "General Li sent me to intercept the rebel army before, don't you know? Open the door! ”

Ling Yan was a little relieved again, and at the same time admired the butcher: he didn't expect him to be able to say it so confidently!

The soldiers in the city apparently recognized the butcher: "You wait, I'll go find General Li." ”

The butcher shouted, "Open the door and let me in!" I have important military information to report to General Lee! ”

But the soldiers of the city ignored it and left the city.

Ling Yan secretly felt funny: the butcher's "play" was enough.

After a while, the soldier followed a man who looked like a military general, and appeared at the head of the city again, and the soldier kept saying something to the general, pointing his finger at the butcher under the city.

The general's appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were surprisingly large, much larger than ordinary people, and that beard could add some ferocity to him.

Ling Yan guessed that the military general should be Li Damu.

As expected, as soon as the butcher saw the military general in the city, he shouted: "General Li! It's me! Open the gates and let me in!" ”

Ling Yan's heart was a little abrupt: the butcher seemed a little out of breath, and he was really afraid that Li Damu would notice something wrong.

However, Li Damu didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and he replied to the butcher loudly: "I sent you to intercept the rebels, why did you come back?" ”

The butcher hurriedly said: "We were defeated by the rebels, and only a few people escaped back, and the rest were killed by the enemy!" If I hadn't escaped so quickly, I'm afraid I'd ...... I'll never see the general again! ”

Ling Yan heard the butcher's last sentence in a very aggrieved tone, and he also knew that the butcher was really sad, because if the butcher hadn't escaped quickly and people knew the current affairs, he would have died twice a long time ago.

However, Li Damu didn't seem to sympathize with the butcher, and said sharply: "Hmph! I sent you to intercept you, but you were defeated and returned, and you still have the face to come to me! ”
