Chapter 138: Master's Thirty-Six Schemes of Deception

"Master, let's just pick up a gilded handsome helmet of Guo Wuchang, and we didn't kill him, where is the head?" Li Deyi was puzzled. The old doctor www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion and explained patiently to the little apprentice: "Where did you see Guo Wuchang running just now?" Li De scratched his head, thought for a while, and said: "I see that he should have run in the direction of the Jin army camp, he should have run back to move the rescuers." ”

Old Medical Officer Sun nodded, "This Guo Wuchang left behind the three thousand foot soldiers with the supply convoy behind him, and fled all the way back to the Jin army camp, how could he be willing." As the division expected, after Guo Wuchang returned to the camp, he would inevitably gather all the soldiers and horses, and then come to fight us to the death. Therefore, we must quickly defeat the remaining 3,000 grain guards behind us, so as not to be flanked by the Jin army in a while. Li Deyi listened carefully and memorized Master's words attentively, but the young man was so anxious that he couldn't help but ask: "Master, you haven't said where we came from, Guo Wuchang's head, besides, what's the use of asking for his head?" ”

Old Doctor Sun looked at his little apprentice, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, let's see how the teacher does it later." If you want to learn skills, you can't be in a hurry and watch slowly. Now he Guo Wuchang has fled, but he left the three thousand guards behind, and he still doesn't know the life and death of his own boss. Therefore, with Guo Wuchang's gilded handsome helmet, we can deceive the three thousand Jin army food guards. As he spoke, Old Medical Officer Sun recruited a soldier and asked him to find a soldier of the Jin Army who was in his forties, cut off the head of the man, whether he lived or died, and then put the gilded handsome helmet on the man's head.

"Put the head of this man with a golden helmet on the head of the spear, wait to kill in front of the three thousand Jin troops, and chant in unison, 'Guo Wuchang is dead, why don't you surrender!' 'Whoever descends will not die'. Disciple, now you go and teach these two sentences to the soldiers, time is pressing, we must set off immediately. After the old doctor Sun ordered the two apprentices, he and the cavalry still stood still. This cavalry old medical officer Sun has other plans, and it is not yet time to use it, so it must be carefully hidden.

According to the master's instructions, Medical Officer Xiao Liu asked the soldiers to carry the 'Guo Wuchang head' with spears, left some soldiers to take care of the wounded robes, took off the identity plaques of the brothers who died in the battle and took them away, and the corpses were piled up with firewood on the spot and lit for cremation, and some soldiers were left to collect the ashes. Then two thousand soldiers were gathered, and Medical Officer Xiao Liu took them and rushed to the three thousand Jin army foot soldiers who were responsible for escorting the supply convoy behind and killed them.

The next battle was the easiest battle for the Weibei battalion in these days. There are Wang Zhuangbiao, Li Deyi, Li Wudi, and Xiao Liu, the four of whom took the lead in the battle. The Weibei battalion also carried the 'head' of Guo Wuchang, the marshal of the Jin army. With this two-pronged approach, the 3,000 grain guards of the Jin army did not make any decent resistance at all, and soon after the battle, they were directly defeated and fled.

On the opposite side, the Weibei camp is like a wolf and a tiger, and the 'head' of his own handsome man has made people pick up guns, which is still a fart! Hurry up and run, if you can't run, just kneel and surrender, people don't shout "Surrender and die!" "What? This time, the Weibei battalion beat the 3,000 Jin army grain guards, and the process went smoothly, and they were defeated with one charge. Because the offensive of the Weibei battalion was too fierce and fast, the Jin army's grain guards had not had time to ignite and burn the grain carts, and they had already been defeated. The soldiers of the Weibei battalion caught up and easily extinguished the small fire that had just been ignited. The battle was won, but Medical Officer Xiao Liu issued a military order, strictly prohibiting the soldiers from chasing and capturing the prisoners, and allowing the soldiers of the Jin army to flee all over the mountains and wilderness.

In Li Deyi's eyes, these fleeing Jin troops were all prisoners, and when the battle was over, they could get back a lot of money. He couldn't help but shout: "Senior brother, it's a pity not to catch such a captive." Doctor Xiao Liu glared: "You know that you are looking at this little profit in front of you!" Didn't you just hear what Master said? Later, there will be Guo Wuchang's elite soldiers and horses to fight, and that is the real big fish. If you win the next battle, you can have as many armor and blades as you want. Now it is necessary to save the soldier's stamina and save it for the later battle. ”

"Oh! It's still a foresight, hehe......" Li Deyi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Stop talking nonsense, you go look at the supply convoys and see if there's anything good in them."

The battle was won, and the supply of the Jin army naturally fell into the hands of the Weibei battalion. Wang Zhuangbiao was around the supply convoy, stretched out his nose and sniffed carefully, and then ran to a big cart, lifted the covered tarpaulin, and there were several jars of fine wine underneath. After Wang Zhuangbiao found the wine, he laughed, reached out and picked up a jar to pat off the mud seal on it. 1

When Dr. Xiao Liu saw it, he immediately shouted and said, "Don't drink it!" I'm afraid that I will have to face Guo Wuchang's nearly 10,000 elites later, and now is far from the time to celebrate! Wang Zhuangbiao whispered: "Sprinkle the family and taste it, taste a small bite." "I can't take half a mouthful, let me put it down!" This is a military order! Doctor Xiao Liu showed no mercy and shouted loudly. Wang Zhuangbiao was helpless, put the jar of wine back, and finally did not forget to tell the soldiers around him loudly: "Take care of this car to the Sprinkle family!" Wait for those dog-like Jin troops to be sticky, and then come to drink bitterly! If you break an altar, the fist of the Sprinkler family will not recognize you! ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu instructed the soldiers to take down the good food such as the dried meat and other good food transported by the truckloads, and distribute them to the soldiers who had fought for a day, so that they could eat their fill, and then began to escort the supply cart back. The road was joined by the soldiers who had been left behind to collect the ashes and look after the wounded, and it was not until it was completely dark that they returned to the camp they had set up on the hill.

After arranging for all the soldiers to have dinner in the evening and visiting the wounded soldiers, Medical Officer Xiao Liu was busy with these things, and went to Master Sun Lao Medical Officer alone to discuss secretly, and handed over the head of the man wearing a gilded helmet to the master, and watched the master take two hundred cavalry to go away in the night.

Doctor Liu returned to his small tent, and just wanted to sit down and rest, Li Deyi followed in and asked, "Senior brother, what are your plans for tomorrow?" Doctor Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow?" Tomorrow we will arrange for these prisoners to be sent to the camp to be taken care of, and we have no place to watch them. We don't have enough manpower, and it's a disaster to stay. ”

Li De nodded slightly, shook his head again, and said, "Senior brother, I didn't ask about this. I wanted to ask you. How should I fight Guo Wuchang tomorrow? Doctor Xiao Liu said without thinking: "You ask this?" Guo Wuchang's grain road has now been intercepted by us, and tomorrow he will definitely do whatever it takes to try to regain the grain road. Otherwise, if there is no supply, it won't take a few days, and his soldiers and horses will have to starve and lose their morale, and then he will slowly wait for death. ”

Li De nodded: "Then if you want to say that, we will have to fight to the death with Guo Wuchang tomorrow?" Doctor Xiao Liu nodded, "Hurry up and go back to rest, tomorrow's battle will be decided." I've recuperated myself tonight, and I'll have more places to use you tomorrow. Li Deyi immediately went back to rest.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Medical Officer Xiao Liu got up, arranged for the soldiers to eat the food captured from the Jin army, picked up the five hundred wounded soldiers, and drove the less than three hundred prisoners back to his own camp. The remaining 2,000 soldiers lined up and began to march towards the Jin army camp.

The soldiers of the Weibei battalion are now divided into two, with the small medical officer Liu having 2,000 foot soldiers here, and the general Li of the large battalion commanding the other soldiers. Along the way, Li Deyi was a little worried, and kept asking Medical Officer Xiao Liu: "Senior brother, let's just go to the Jin army camp to call the battle, can you do it, the Jin army still has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Doctor Xiao Liu had already been impatient with his junior brother's chatter along the way, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you, the Jin army is different from our Weibei camp. The Jin army still has 10,000 horses, but many of them are auxiliary soldiers, who are responsible for escorting grain and grass, carrying baggage, and doing those rough and tiring work. The Jin army must now have less than 7,000 soldiers, and they have been defeated in our hands repeatedly, and several generals have also been killed by us, and their morale has long been extremely low, and now they are not our opponents at all. ”

Li De nodded, "Oh, oh, I'm in such a hurry, I forgot about this." When Medical Officer Xiao Liu heard this, he stretched out his hand and pulled Li De's ear over, and reprimanded: "How many times have I told you, as a general, you need to calm down every time you are in a big event." Even if the landslide is in front of you, your face will not change color, this is the courage you should have as the commander of an army. This Jin army is just 10,000 men, or a defeated army that has been defeated in successive battles, and you are panicked like this? Have you forgotten what I told you about every day? Do you think you should fight? Li Deyi was also honest at this time: "I should be beaten." Senior brother, can you start lightly? I still want to ask, if this mountain really collapses, can I run? ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu pulled out the scabbard, "Smack!" He gave his junior brother a hard spine on the back, "Can you remember it if you beat it lightly?" Are you stupid, I'm talking about the fact that your face can't change! Of course you have to run, but you can't panic, you have to run smart, run like you're going to win, you know? As a commander of the army, every move must be considered in the morale of the army, you just pretend, and you have to pretend to be confident. ”

In fact, Doctor Xiao Liu looked very hard at this time, in fact, he was very measured, and it hurt Li De a lot at that time, if he lifted his clothes to see, it was just a little red and swollen, and it would recover after an hour. Besides, he was reluctant to really beat this junior brother, after all, Li Deyi only learned to read and write at the age of ten, and the master has been free-range to him, no better than himself, he has stayed by the master's side since he was three years old, and he has been exposed to it all day long, and has been severely disciplined. The junior brother can be like this, and Dr. Liu is actually very happy in his heart, but he is afraid that the junior brother will be tired and lazy, so he deliberately stimulates him.

The Weibei camp marched all the way, and at noon, it finally came to the outside of the Jin army camp. Now the situation of Weibei Yingcheng attacking on both sides has enveloped the Jin army in the middle, with a total of 4,000 people from Li Jiang in front and 2,000 foot soldiers of Medical Officer Xiao Liu in the back.

At this moment, the Jin army camp was already in chaos, and the commander Guo Wuchang personally led the army to escort the grain transportation team, but he was beaten by the Weibei camp and fled back alone, and even the personal guards around him were lost. Fortunately, Guo Wuchang still has more than 4,000 infantry and more than 1,000 cavalry in the camp, and his descendants account for a large number of soldiers and horses, so he can suppress the scene, otherwise the remaining generals in the Jin army would have made trouble a long time ago.

The remaining generals of the Jin army were divided into two factions at this time as to whether to fight or flee next. One faction advocated an immediate retreat, taking advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the Weibei camp had not yet been completed, and quickly withdrew, as long as the remaining soldiers and horses were saved, and they did not worry about not being able to fight back in the future. There is also a faction, all of which are bold young and strong generals, who think that although the Weibei battalion has defeated our soldiers and horses in a row, it is also exhausted at this time. If our whole army is dispatched to attack its weakness, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory, how can we be timid to avoid war at this time.

Guo Wuchang looked at the noisy generals in the camp, his face was full of anger, and he sat there without saying a word. In the middle of the ring, Guo Wuchang saw that they were all tired, coughed, and directly ordered: "Order, send all the remaining weapons and armor to those auxiliaries, let them dress up neatly, and there are many banners in the camp." Yang Wu, you are staying in the camp, leading these auxiliaries to patrol back and forth, practice the array, and make sure to make a strong appearance of the army. The rest took all the 5,000 foot soldiers with them, and the commander himself commanded 2,000 cavalry. Let's first defeat the weak foot soldiers of the two thousand Weibei battalions behind us, and then with the power of a great victory, it will be easy to turn around and defeat the thousands of foot soldiers in the enemy camp opposite. ”

"Yes!" "Obey the general's order!" A cadre of the Jin army took the order and left. But how much reluctance is embedded in this "yes", only they know.

"They're coming!" Medical Officer Xiao Liu has been personally staring at the Jin army camp not far ahead, and at this moment, as soon as the Jin army assembled and walked out of the camp gate, Xiao Liu Medical Officer discovered the movement of the Jin army.

Li Deyi immediately ordered: "All on alert! The soldiers of the Weibei battalion moved in response to the call, grabbed the weapons in their hands, and the elite soldiers in the front row checked the armor on their bodies and the spears in their hands.

Gradually, the Jin army got closer, and Li Deyi also saw it clearly, and leaned in front of his senior brother and whispered: "Senior brother, the situation is not good, Guo Wuchang seems to have worked hard this time and pulled out all his family foundations." This time he had a lot of soldiers. Doctor Xiao Liu smiled indifferently and said, "It's more, he has put the whole army on the line this time." I'm afraid all the soldiers in his camp are here, and I guess that in his big battalion, there are only some auxiliaries left now. ”

Li Deyi whispered a little worriedly: "Senior brother, the Jin army pulled out so many people to beat us this time, I feel that our two thousand foot soldiers are a bit small, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it." Doctor Xiao Liu didn't look back, staring at Jin Jun who was gradually coming over, "Are you afraid?" Didn't you dare to charge 20,000 Mughal cavalry with a hundred horsemen? ”

"I'm not talking about this, I'm afraid that our brothers won't be able to hold it if we fight later." Li Deyi said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of, in this battle, our master has come to participate in the battle in person, and our Weibei Battalion is also on the line. In this battle, there is no room for the slightest retreat! ”
