Half an hour later.

Li Zhi military camp.

"Report" A soldier in a night suit hurriedly ran into the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Zhi was asleep, and when he heard the voice, he immediately turned over and got up: "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier hurriedly said: "General, my subordinates have found out that Wang Xujun is retreating northward." ”

"What?" Li Zhi was taken aback, and immediately said, "Quickly gather all the generals to come here." ”

"No."

The soldier turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Li Zhi again, and after thinking about it, Li Zhi said, "How did they retreat?" How many people are there? Wang Xuke has already left the city? ”

"No, I didn't find out." Soldier Nono said. For when he saw a man coming out of the north gate, he came to tell the news.

"You idiot, probe again!" Li Zhi scolded.

"No."

The soldiers left, Li Zhi quickly changed into armor, summoned all the captains and generals, no matter whether Wang Xu really withdrew or faked, he had to guard against it, because if Wang Xu slipped away under his nose, it would be a big trouble, and Wang Cheng would definitely blame.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Zhi said: "Scout detective, Wang Xu's army is retreating north. ”

"Ahh

"General, quickly give the order to hunt down."

Qin Shuang was a little puzzled: "General, according to the spies under him, Wang Xu has thousands of soldiers left in Languan, there is a strong city, he should retreat to the southeast, how to retreat to the north, there is no danger to defend there, and there are countless county soldiers to block it, isn't he looking for death?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, this was exactly what he was worried about, Qin Shuang was worthy of following him for so many years, and he analyzed it very thoroughly.

Li Zhidao: "Whether he really withdraws or fakes withdraws, Ben will go and see it." ”

Everyone nodded.

"Order, Qin Shuang led all the infantry to stick to the camp, and the rest of the people led the elite cavalry to follow me to Wanling County, I want to see which one Wang Xu is singing."

"No."

The infantry was not conducive to long-distance attacks, so they stayed in the camp, and Li Zhi led 12,000 elite cavalry to go.

An hour later, the elite cavalry army came to the outside of Wanling County, which was the south gate.

Seeing that the city gate was wide open, a lieutenant said: "General, if you go around the east gate from outside the city, it will take half an hour, but if you pass through the city, you will arrive in a moment." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said suddenly: "Order, take a detour." ”

"No."

At this moment, a black-clothed soldier flew in and said, "General, my subordinates saw Wang Xu go out of the city with their own eyes, accompanied by the army, people, grain, grass, equipment, etc. in the city, and now they may have left Wanling County for several miles." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to leave, now he was a little puzzled, how to escape and bring so many things, even the people, don't you know that I rode a hundred miles a day, wouldn't this be looking for death.

The lieutenant said: "General, chase after it, don't let Wang Xu really run away." ”

Li Zhi snorted coldly: "Can he run away, you didn't hear it clearly just now, they fled with equipment and food, and even the people followed, how fast they could run, they would have let him run for two days first, and he could catch up." ”

The lieutenant pursed his lips and muttered, "If he is just a trick to show us, in fact, they have now discarded all their baggage and are marching quickly." ”

"What did you say?"

Li Zhi was taken aback, and immediately fell into deep thought, it is not impossible to do this, everyone knows that when the two armies are fighting, they will send scouts to pay attention to the movements of the enemy army, which may really be done for themselves.

Thinking about this clearly, he didn't hesitate any longer, and said: "Order, pass through the city of Wanling County, and tell the soldiers to be fast, leaving the city is a flat river, and I can gallop across the country with fine horses." ”

"Order."

A little, Li Zhi waved his hand, and tens of thousands of spirits rode in, and they came to Wanling County in just a moment

Just after Li Zhi's army left, hundreds of people came out from behind the haystack five hundred meters away, led by Wang Xu, who had a smile on his face, and finally tricked Li Zhi into the city, and he found a large number of people to help disguise themselves as soldiers and retreat to the north, for the current situation.

"Sun Yu, order everyone from a mile away to come here and block the south gate."

Sun Yu said excitedly: "No." He finally knew Wang Xu's plan, because he had already asked Wang Xu just now, and Huang Quan was waiting for them in the city, and he had prepared all the oil and coke, and he could push Li Zhi into a desperate situation in a moment.

Victory is at hand!

Li Zhi led the army to the vicinity of the city mansion, he suddenly waved his hand and stopped, he had a bad premonition, it was too quiet here, it was not like it was real, there was no one in the city, not even a single person could not be found, it was really strange.

"General, what's wrong?" The lieutenant said.

Li Zhi looked left and right, but unfortunately he didn't find anything, there was no way, the army had to continue to move forward, but after walking for a while, he found something abnormal, that is, the haystacks in the city seemed to be a little too much.

Stopped and looked up and took a deep breath, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, there was a smell of fire oil in the air, although it was very light, but with his agility, he could feel it completely.

Li Zhi's horse jumped restlessly, and he was even more firm in his guess, Wang Xu must be attacking with fire!

Li Zhi looked at the lieutenant behind him and whispered, "We are ambushed."

"Ah, Nakabush? Why didn't I find out? The lieutenant exclaimed.

Li Zhi didn't have time to explain so much, he said: "Now you can't go any further, order everyone, Xuxu retreats backwards, and returns the same way." ”

"Then what about Wang Xu? Won't you chase it? ”

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and scolded: "Still chasing a fart, go and give an order, the rear army will become the front army, and retreat immediately!" ”

"No."

The lieutenant was about to leave, when a man ran from behind Pegasus, and the man looked anxious and hurriedly said, "General, the rear army is on fire." ”

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Is the fire big?" ”

"It's not too big." The soldier said.

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said suddenly: "It's not good, pass the order, quickly withdraw the army and return the same way." ”

The lieutenant said, "General, there is no fire in the north, why don't we."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhi: "Go and give the order!" ”

"No."

As soon as the lieutenant left, Li Zhi scolded, since people can set fire to the south, can't they set fire to the north? Moreover, Li Zhi's army is retreating to the north, and if he kills back the horse pistol, everything will be over.

Pig brain, no wonder you can only be a captain for the rest of your life.

The order was given, and the army rushed back quickly, the speed became slower and slower, and Li Zhi quickly came to the front army from one side, that is, the front army in the south, and now they were returning the same way.

When he came to the front, he saw a sky-high fire, which was not big, it had seriously blocked the passage of the army, and the haystacks on both sides had already burned, at this time, he felt a thick smoke, and in the distance, most of the houses in the city began to burn, and there was a tendency to grow bigger.
