Su You didn't intend to describe to Peng Sheng the glory of Yao Chang defending the city with more than 1,000 people, but said succinctly, "I think we are too passive to defend behind closed doors now, if we rely on the crossbowmen on the city to suppress the enemy, and at the same time send infantry to fight in the city, we can guarantee that we can relieve the rebels' catapult attack."

"But" Peng Sheng immediately shook his head, he still felt that it was more dangerous to go out of the city, after all, the reinforcements of Princess Biyun of the Showa Kingdom would arrive soon, as long as he waited for another three or five hours, he could solve it with a single qiē.

Su You naturally understood what Peng Sheng was thinking, but he had his own ambitions, if he didn't show his ability in their struggle, how could he strive for the greatest benefits?

Su You immediately asked seductively, "But what?" Let them attack the city so arrogantly, but we are shrinking turtles? When Princess Biyun and General Zhenxi come, what will they think of us? ”

In the face of the rebels' massive attack, they could only swallow their anger, and Peng Sheng also felt a little aggrieved.

But if Su You really wants to do what he just said, it is obviously impossible for him to use his own guards as the vanguard, so how many of the elites of Dong and Xi and the defensive soldiers of several levels can be left in the end?

Knowing that he couldn't do it, Peng Sheng still laughed and said, "You are the coach, what are you going to do, then how do you do it?" ”

What decision Su You wants to make, it is true that Peng Sheng does not need to nod, but if he wants to win a big victory, he must be prepared to fail.

In the short time that he spoke, a few more falling rocks fell to Su You and Peng Sheng's side, and it wasn't because they had shields raised by the guards above their heads, maybe they had already been smashed.

"Let them smash it for two or three hours, and it's hard to say that this Lincang City will be buried by stones!" After Su You said this, he walked towards the city gate.

The catapults on both sides stuck to each other, whether it was at the head of the city, the city gate or the city wall, almost every place was baptized by mud balls and stones, and there was only one place where it was safest,—— and that was the city gate hole.

At this time, in the city gate cave, the fourth team of city guards who were withdrawn from the city by Su You were nervously removing the stones used to block the gate a few days ago.

After more than half an hour's effort, it was evident that most of it had now been removed, and from inside the gate it could even be seen that the gate had long been shattered by stones and fire; Because of this, the rebels also discovered that the hole in the city gate was full of stones, so they gave up attacking the city gate at some point.

At this time, Duan Ruqi had obviously forgotten the true purpose of tonight's siege battle?

Do you break through the gates? Apparently not, because the gates of the city have long been blocked!

Do you just keep bombarding the enemy in the city with catapults? But apart from attacking with a catapult, Duan Ruqi really couldn't talk to this small city.

Catapults can't smash across the city gates, they can't smash the city walls, and they can't smash the people in the city, but the ladders and crashes can't be transported under the city walls,—— those damned crossbowmen on the city walls, the firepower is too ferocious!

Duan Ruqi also thought about returning in vain at this time, so he withdrew his troops, but he always felt that as long as he persevered, a miracle would definitely appear, for example, Su You would take the initiative to surrender to him with a white flag or something

In fact, after half an hour of confrontation between the two sides, a miracle really appeared.

At this time, the catapults in the city suddenly stopped attacking!

"What's going on?" After Duan Ruqi received the news from the front, he couldn't help frowning, and he was at a loss.

Duan Ruqi was about to personally lead the guards to the front to investigate, but he heard a shout from the front, "The enemy's city gate has opened, and their people have come out!" ”

Out of town? Is this the rhythm of surrender?

After Duan Ruqi flashed this thought, he immediately saw many soldiers rushing out from the gate of the city gate of the Mianning Pass, and these people held shields and scimitars, and killed their own catapults together

"Could it be that the people from Guo Ming and Ji Guo Zhao have arrived?" Duan Ruqi suddenly had this thought for a while, and then he heard the sound of war horses galloping and screaming.

In the darkness, the people outside the city did not know how many people rushed out of the city, nor did they know who they killed; But a terrible thought arose in the hearts of the rebels at the same time, and it was clear that such an attack would not make a dog jump off the wall today.

Then, the enemy who rushed out now must have come prepared, and it must be the new force of the defending army.

With this in mind, their next thought was to turn around and run away!

Duan Ruqi still figured out who was coming from the place and how many people came, Zhao Hu had already led four teams of more than 1,000 foot soldiers to kill the rebels' catapults with swords and shields.

In front of the catapult, there was originally a team of foot soldiers responsible for rushing to the corner of the wall to attack the city, but after the baptism of the defenders' catapult bows and crossbows, there were no more than 100 foot soldiers left in that team, and they were killed by the people led by Zhao Hu before they even had time to escape.

The second wave of victims were naturally those of the unarmed catapult crews.

The catapult team turned and fled, which meant that Zhang Long's crossbowmen were also liberated, and they immediately descended from the city, put on their armor and mounted their horses, and rushed out with the elite of Dong and Xi Fu led by Zhao Man.

Su You and Wang Dynasty Mahan and other more than ten guards followed, he only left Peng Sheng with 100 people to guard the city, plus Zhang Mu with 200 guards and prisoners of the elite, at this time there were only 300 defenders in the city plus a few young and strong.

When Su You rushed out, Duan Ruqi had already given the order to "retreat", but the leader of his 20,000 Pu friendly troops understood that he was fleeing, so instead of retreating to the camp, they retreated directly to the next Guancheng.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and it may be that the 20,000 troops who are afraid of Pubu take the opportunity to copy their hometown, and Duan Ruqi at this time can only follow the Pubu army and quickly retreat to the south like a lost dog.

After killing a few miles, more than 1,000 people led by Zhao Man became the vanguard, and they followed Duan Ruqi's tail not far away, while Su You and Zhang Long and six hundred guards followed closely behind, and it took more than two hours to drive Duan Ruqi out of more than 30 miles, and took back several passes that were robbed by Duan Ruqi a few days ago.

The fourth team of soldiers led by Zhao Hu collected prisoners all the way, and when it was dawn, they actually surrendered more than 3,000 rebels with the strength of 1,100 people, plus more than 1,000 people killed at the city gate and 5 or 600 people killed along the way, Duan Ruqi lost 5,000 soldiers in this battle

By dawn, Duan Ruqi finally took the remaining 30,000 or so soldiers and 20,000 people from the Pu Department and retreated into Funing City, forty miles away from Lincang City.

Duan Ruqi was as anxious as a lost dog, and he almost turned white overnight, he was not only worried that the combined forces of Dongjiao and Xijiao would continue to attack the city, but also defended the people and horses of the Pu Department who would take the opportunity to take his life; But now he chooses to be stationed in Funing City, obviously there is also a sense of unwillingness.

Although his army and Pubu at the moment combined are just 50,000, aren't the soldiers of Dong Jiao and Xi Jiao only 50,000 combined?

With Funing City, Duan Ruqi is obviously not afraid of the attack of the coalition army, so although Duan Ruqi feels very faceless about last night's runaway, he is not willing to accept the arrival of East and West.

However, after Su You chased the rebels for a night, after arranging the personnel guarding the pass, he went to make up for sleep as a matter of course.

When Su You woke up, the sun was about to set, and he had just gotten out of bed when he heard a knock at the door.

"Who?" Su You asked while putting on his shoes and glancing at the door.

"Sir, it's me." The people outside responded, but it was Wang Bodang's voice.

Su You immediately opened the door in three steps and two steps, and said with joy, "Bodang, I finally saw you, what is going on with Princess Biyun, why is it only here now!" ”

The reason why Su You didn't mention Ji Guozhao, but asked Biyun sideways, obviously also meant to blame Wang Bodang.

Because Su You had arranged Wang Bodang by Princess Biyun's side, he originally had the intention of supervising Biyun, otherwise he would not have dared to bring 2,600 people to intercept Duan Ruyun's rebels.

Uncle Wang immediately got up a little embarrassed, Wang Gu said to him, "We arrived at noon, and we have been waiting for Mr. to get up, at this time Biyun and Jiao Guozhao are drinking tea outside, and the water in the pot has been changed three times."

Listening to Wang Bodang's reminder, Su You's mood suddenly improved a lot, but how could their two or three hours of suffering be compared to their own two or three days of suffering?

With this mentality, Su You immediately said angrily, "At least let me wash my face first, right?" Then let them wait. ”

Wang Bodang nodded, and immediately went to bring Su You face washing water, Su You was not used to being waited, so he still grabbed the copper basin, and asked, "You haven't said it yet, why did you arrive so late?"

Wang Bodang stood beside Su You with a twist and anxiety, sighed and said, "I don't know about Guozhao's side, but Biyun is because these tribes in Dongjiao are a little disobedient to management, or I really can't see it, so I used force to subdue several tribes." ”

"Oh, there is no unity within Dongjiao, and the same is probably true for Xijiao, which is a great thing for us to take root again." When Su You heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh and said.

The so-called "misfortune and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk" is probably this situation, Su You resented that they came late, but after hearing the reason why they came late, he couldn't help but smile.

Wang Bodang's face turned red, and he said, "Sir, me and Biyun we"

Su You looked at his squirming appearance and asked casually, "You and Biyun are getting along?" ”

Wang Bodang nodded embarrassedly, and Su You immediately patted him on the shoulder with his wet hand, "You kid, it's okay!" This was originally in my plan, what are you twisting? I also saw that Yun Fan only had a partner at the age of eleven or twelve, so I deliberately created opportunities for you! ”

"How can I compare to Yunfan Gongzi?" Uncle Wang immediately became humble, and asked worriedly, "Does Mr. need me to do anything?" ”

Wang Bodang's words were obviously aimed at Su You's words just now about arranging for him to approach Princess Biyun.

Su You immediately shook his head, "I don't have any politics and marriage in my heart, you love each other and then combine, that's enough!" I only hope that you will follow my achievements and not indulge in this kind of affection. ”

Uncle Wang immediately solemnly saluted Su Youshen, "Wang Yong has been taught." ”
