Everyone in the big tent, including Wu Yi's own soldiers, was given a ban order, that is, the news of the fall of the city was never allowed to be announced without the order of Wu Yi, the general. www.biquge.info Although Wu Yi doesn't know how long such a ban can cover the news, it is still okay to cover it for a day and a half to give himself a little time to discuss with Liu Bi. As for the others, Wu Yi didn't think too much, in his opinion, things were already like this, and the most important thing at the moment was to quickly find a solution to the problem. Of course, he has to sum up this method with Liu Bi.

Wu Yi hurriedly broke into Liu Bi's military tent. It was a small tent behind Wu Yi's big tent. Originally, a subordinate like Liu Bi was not qualified to have such a military account, even if he was a general. However, everything is "there is a policy, and there is a right bottom", in this military camp where Wu Yi is a general and has full management, it is normal for Liu Bi, who is a friend of Wu Yi, to enjoy such treatment. Wu Yi didn't feel anything wrong, and Liu Yi also lived in peace. But when Wu Yi came over in a panic, Liu Bi was sitting upright in his tent and pondering over the map on the desk. Maybe it was Wu Yi's messy footsteps that woke him up. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Wu Yi's figure opening the tent and entering, so he asked, "Why is the general so panicked, is there any bad news?" Liu Bi knew that Wu Yi and himself probably belonged to the kind of people with calm personalities, if something really happened to him, he would never be in such a hurry.

"There's very bad news, and I feel like the sky is falling." Wu Yi walked heavily to Liu Bi's side and sat down. The speed of the run just now was really a little fast, and he was a little out of breath now. Of course, this may be because he is anxious. He took a few deep breaths, grabbed the water cup next to Liu Bi's case, and didn't care whether the water cup had been drunk by Liu Bi, but when he saw that there was water in it, he drank it in one gulp. Only then did he breathe a little more and told the news to Liu Bi: "The city has been captured, and it is under siege from the east and north of Li Sheng's army. ”

"What?" Liu Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say?" The city was actually lost? ”

"Yes. I just received a report from a fugitive soldier. Not only was the city lost, but even the eldest son died. Wu Yi said in a low voice, he looked very depressed at the moment.

"What?" Liu Bi was taken aback again: "This is very bad news." Tell me what the hell is going on? Liu Tietie asked with a blushing face.

"That's what it was like at the time......" Hearing his friend's question, Wu Yi quickly told Liu Bi the news he had just received from the cavalry who came to report the news, and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" I've just blocked the news, and I don't plan to let more people know about it for the time being. Because right now we don't have any solution to this problem. ”

"Hmm." Liu Bi nodded softly: "You did this thing very right." As he spoke, he closed his eyes again and began to think about it. While thinking about it, he gave Wu Yi the analysis he had come up with: "Li Sheng is really scheming, what do we think, I'm afraid he has already taken it into account." Sending troops to Mianzhu undoubtedly hit us in the soft underbelly, and the purpose of blocking us along the way was to strengthen our erroneous judgment of Li Shengjun's movements. What a careful mind. I always thought that we could defeat Li Sheng, but as far as the series of strategies Li Sheng is using at the moment, I found that Li Sheng's ability is far above mine, and I am afraid that I will not be able to defeat him in this life. Alas......"

"What about now......" Wu Yi's heart sank for Liu Bi to sigh, he actually felt the same way about this, but as a general, he was really not suitable to say such a thing, so he nodded silently, and then asked such a question.

"Right now, we can only go to Mianzhu. There's no way around it. Liu Bi suggested: "The city is lost, the eldest son is dead, and we must not return to the CD." After all, such a big sin, if we go back, whether it is you or me, I am afraid that we will all die under the knife of Lord Liu Zhang. Hehe, although it is miserable, I still don't want to die. The only excuse at the moment, that is, to transfer to Mianzhu, helped Li Yan. This can be regarded as forcing him to fight with Li Sheng. ”

"But if we go to Mianzhu, what if Li Sheng directly sends troops to attack the CD?" Wu Yi knew that Liu Bi was right, but he was still worried about the situation on the CD's side.

"Li Sheng won't." Liu Bi nodded affirmatively: "At this last moment, he must be planning to clean up his rear and enter the CD in the future." Wu Yi asked again.

"Because victory is in sight. The situation in Yizhou has become clear with the fall of Yucheng. No matter how hard we try, the defeat of Lord Liu Zhang is inevitable. We know about this situation, and so does Li Sheng. Do you think that in such a situation, if you were Li Sheng, would you still be willing to use risky tactics? Leave an enemy army in your own rear? That's what only fools do. Liu explained.

"Then let's go to Mianzhu? I have to go and tell my generals the news. Wu Yi said and was about to get up and leave.

"Wait!" Liu Yi called Wu Yi to stop.

"How?" Wu Yi asked.

"Don't leak the news just yet. It's still on the way at the moment, and I'm afraid that this will cause instability in the army's morale and the news of the fall of Ruocheng, so I think it's better to wait until Mianzhu to talk about it. At that time, they were all in the city, and I thought there would be time to deal with them. Liu Yi suggested to Wu Yi.

"It's fine." Wu Yi thought for a while and nodded: "Anyway, it's less than a hundred miles away from Mianzhu, even if it's slower, it can be reached in two days at most." This news can still be covered up to some extent. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, thinking that he had gone straight to arrange things here. Now that things are going bad, he feels like he still has a lot to do. Because a lot of things have reached the point where they need to change. The army was thus stationed in its place. All those who knew the news were reiterated to silence their mouths. Although there were still many small soldiers who saw the cavalry from the city hurriedly breaking into Dazhai, they didn't know what news the cavalry came to report, and they didn't have any idea about the news from the city.

The idea of "Li Shengjun is right in front of them" has been deeply rooted in their minds under Wu Yi's repeated indoctrination, and the day's rapid march is to make them exhausted and fall asleep. They were so tired that after a hasty dinner, they quickly closed their eyes. Suddenly, the entire camp fell silent, and almost everyone fell into a deep sleep. The sky was now dark, and the night had become deep. Under this dark sky, Zhao Yun and his five thousand cavalry were slowly coming from the south, gently approaching Wu Yijun's camp. There was no noise in the army, and even the footsteps of the war horses under them were extremely light.

The horses' hooves were already wrapped in a thick heavy cloth, and the chewing cage cover with the crossbar and the wooden stick in the mouth of each soldier made it impossible for the horses and soldiers to pronounce. It was a raid battle, a prelude to a major battle that would strike the final blow against Wu Yi's army. In order to play this last movement, Li Sheng made a lot of preparations, and also revealed that he used a good card that had been hidden in his hand. Of course, this card is not wasted, and the capture of the city is a good proof. What he is doing now is to maximize the effect of the cards, and try to kill the enemy before the infantry in the rear comes up, just like he did to Liu Bijun on the edge of the water a few days ago.

His own thorough preparation and the fatigue of the enemy army that day made Zhao Yun and his cavalry march very close to the place before Wu Yi's military camp. This allowed Zhao Yun to rely on his excellent eyesight to see clearly the general outline of the military camp standing twenty zhang away under the dark curtain.

"It's a very rudimentary barracks." Zhao Yun looked at the slender wooden strips used to build the camp and made such a judgment. In his opinion, the use of such wooden strips to erect a fence of the camp has no defensive effect at all for enemy soldiers who want to attack the camp like himself, as long as he is willing to ride his horse and swing his spear, the fence that stands straight can be broken with a single blow, and easily pass into them.

"It seems that these enemies didn't expect us to attack the camp at all. Maybe they still think that the lord's army is still in the city. Hehe, without exact information, it is indeed easy to be misled. Zhao Yun said with a smile, the light in his eyes became sharp after looking at the enemy camp in a daze, and he finally gave the order: "The whole army charges." ”

The horse began to run, gradually accelerating. As the war horse accelerated, the dull sound of the horse's hooves gradually became louder, and soon formed a muffled thunder.

"Kill!" Originally, they shouted from their mouths, but now because they had a wooden stick in their mouths, they could only say it from the bottom of their hearts. But even so, the knives in the hands of these private soldiers did not slow down much. Among the cavalry that had originally lined up in the phalanx, two groups of men and horses suddenly rushed forward in unison, and when they reached the halfway point, they slightly deviated from the horse's head to make it become an oblique thorn, and finally almost parallel to Wu Yi's military camp, and swept less than three feet in front of the row of fences. They clenched the knives in their hands, and the blades of the knives cut coldly through the gaps in the fence and flattened, and then flew past the horses. "Kua...... Click! In a piercing sound, the fence on the periphery of Wu Yi's military camp was easily broken by Zhao Yun's cavalry with the war knives in their hands. As the fence broke, Zhao Yun's cavalry rushed into the camp very quickly, and brought out the unlit torches that had been inserted behind the saddle.

The bright light of the fire lit up after the cavalry on horseback had struck the flint, and the orange glow illuminated the soldiers' faces, bringing out the hideous and perfect battle line on their faces. All this is done in fullness.

"Throw!" With the order of Zhao Yun, the only person among the people who could speak, the originally neat team suddenly dispersed, rushed to all parts of the camp, and vigorously rounded his arms and threw out the torch in his hand. They had obviously practiced, and although a few exceptions failed, the vast majority of the torches landed on the silent tents with great accuracy. It burns up quickly, emitting a frightening temperature.

"Now they should run out in a panic." Zhao Yun looked at a tent that had been burned, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

He was sure that there were people in the tent. Although Wu Yijun quickened the pace of the march, it seemed that they Li Shengjun and these people were far behind, but this was just the appearance that Li Shengjun caused them, in fact, Li Shengjun never stopped inquiring about Wu Yijun's news, and the army scouts and civilian white clothes were constantly reporting Wu Yijun's location, current state and other news to Li Sheng's hands. The information sent every two moments let Li Sheng know the situation of Wu Yijun anytime and anywhere, and he handed over these situations to the generals who carried out the task, so that these people involved in the battle also clearly understood the situation of Wu Yijun - it was precisely because of this that Zhao Yun confirmed that everyone in Wu Yijun's military camp was there, and the reason why they were still so quiet until now was only because they were too tired.

Of course, no matter how much they fall asleep, at this point, someone should indeed wake up from it. They were all awakened by the scorching heat of the fire, but they found that the originally peaceful camp tent was actually burned by the flames, and they immediately let out a terrible scream. Dangerous land, this is absolutely dangerous land, they all know it, and they also want to leave such a dangerous place quickly. So, as Zhao Yun said, they were lightly burned by the fire, and they ran out of their tent in a panic.

There was a fire inside the tent, maybe the stupid guy accidentally touched the torch. They simply did not realize that all this was caused by the enemy, and they took it for granted. However, when they ran out of their tents, they were surprised to find that the situation was not as bad as usual: the whole camp was on fire, and countless men on horseback were wreaking havoc in the camp, and it was evident that they were throwing their torches at the tents.

"This is the enemy...... Enemy attack! "I don't know which person was the first to shout this, but in short, this sound of voice after another quickly wanted to make a scene in this camp. They were all sure that the enemy had caused all this. After all, only the enemy has so many cavalry, and only the enemy will throw torches at him and greet him with weapons in his hand, so everything he encounters is the enemy playing tricks.

"What to do? Can anyone tell me what I'm going to do? There are so many enemies, do I want to meet them or retreat? The soldier who had just rushed out of the camp looked blankly and bewildered, and was soon spotted by the cavalry patrolling the camp. He rode on a fast horse, quickly rushed to the dazed soldier, and met his frightened gaze, and stabbed the spear in his hand fiercely. The gun enters, enters the body, the gun returns, and the blood sprays. Those who stop on the battlefield often have nothing to eat, even in the present – there seems to be only one path ahead of these dazed ones, and that is death.

The dazed man soon died. Under the revelation of their blood, the rest of the people soon became no longer at a loss. Under the only two options, resistance and flight, they invariably chose to flee based on their instinct to survive.

The crowd scattered away, not distinguishing things, always seeing the tall shadow and wanting to take refuge as soon as possible. The shock and fear given to them by Zhao Yun's cavalry was so great that they were so full of worries that they only thought about fleeing, and they didn't care what their future was, no matter whether the path they were looking for was alive or dead. In this panic, many of them actually fled into the fire, and under the burning of the fire, they let out a terrible howl that was not like that of human beings.

Wu Yi also woke up. He also came out of the small tent where Liu Bi, who had been lit, and looked at the camp like a pot of porridge, and involuntarily cold sweat fell on his forehead. No one knew whether his cold sweat was for the scorching heat of the fire, or for his own mid-volt, maybe both.

If you say that you are at a loss, Wu Yi is really at a loss right now. He had no idea how the enemy could still be capable of launching a night attack on him. He looked around at the situation, looking at the enemy horsemen who were still clashing back and forth in the camp after lighting the flames, and he already had some realization in his heart: "The enemy is not doing only harassment, they are planning to do a big job, they are planning to wipe out their own group of people." Is it really weird? Didn't their main forces all go to take the city? Why are there still soldiers and horses to attack him? If you want to destroy these people, even with the support of cavalry, they must at least put in more than 10,000 infantry in the later stage. This...... What's going on? Where is Li Shengjun's main force? He felt that his head was not very useful, because all the thoughts about Li Sheng had wrenched his head into a mess that was as bad as the paste. In this confusion, he couldn't find the so-called clue at all.

"Defeated?" A cold voice sounded when Wu Yi was most confused, Wu Yi turned his head to start, but saw that the person who said this was his friend Liu Bi. At this moment, he was standing beside him with a blushing face, and with that cold and sharp gaze, he closely examined the battlefield unfolding in front of him—the battlefield full of his own people being slaughtered.

"At this time, only you can stay as calm as you promised." Wu Yi sighed. Liu Xuan's calmness seemed to affect him, making him temporarily endure and no longer irritable. The big tent of the Chinese army was the most important target of Li Shengjun, but the small tent behind the big tent of the Chinese army was mistaken for an unimportant residence, and it was just a torch that lit the tent, and no one paid attention to the people who came out of it. Under such circumstances, Wu Yi's personal guards relied on their own familiarity with the battlefield to find Wu Yi and them, and when they saw them defend themselves, they cautiously walked to the depths of the camp through a road that had been prepared long ago in this confusion. This was already the rear of the camp, there were not many enemy rangers, and there were few tents that were burned, and there was a large area of darkness to hide. This may be their luck.

"Because I've let it go." Liu Bi smiled indifferently. After receiving the news that the city had fallen, he had already realized that no matter how hard he tried, he could not turn the tide of the battle, and he could not defeat Li Sheng. So, he was disappointed, and then from extreme disappointment to extreme indifference, he saw everything and treated himself completely as an outsider. At this moment, what he was thinking about in his heart was no longer how to deal with and how to win, but to pursue and grasp Li Shengjun's tactical context and figure out Li Shengjun's plan for the entire battle situation. It can be said that he is not a seeker of victory at the moment, but only a seeker of knowledge, like the man of learning, who just wants to know the answer.

"Alas!" Looking at his friend's breezy appearance, Wu Yi shook his head incomprehensibly, no longer talking about him, but asked, "Do you understand everything about Li Shengjun?" Do you know why they have the troops to attack here? ”

"Yes!" Liu Xuan nodded: "Li Shengjun's strength is far beyond our imagination. But more important than this is that Li Shengjun's grasp of intelligence is much better than ours. From the time we were transferred out of Luocheng, everything we knew was probably what Li Sheng intended to let us know. Anything we don't know is blocked by Li Shengjun. Earlier, you told me that when Li Shengjun attacked Yucheng, it appeared in the east and north at the same time. This is a very important piece of information, but we all believe that this situation is the result of Li Shengjun's main force attacking Yucheng and using the strategy of turning the attack. But I didn't think that there was actually another possibility that would cause such a result, that is, the reinforcements transferred by Li Shengjun from Jingzhou. ”

"Are you saying that the capture of the city was mainly the credit of the reinforcements transferred by Li Shengjun from the east, and not the main force of Li Shengjun?" Wu Yi's eyes widened when he heard that he was stupid, and he didn't dare to speak again after repeating such a sentence. In fact, he couldn't believe it in his heart: "From Jingzhou to Yizhou, there are several counties along the way." Why have so many places been captured, but we have not received any news of Li Sheng's marching army? It's incredible, isn't it? His face was full of suspicion.

"Don't disbelieve." Seeing the expression on Wu Yi's face, Liu Bi shook his head gently: "In fact, Li Sheng is probably going to be like this because he has received some kind of help. And before this, Li Sheng probably didn't think that such a situation would occur. Judging from the fact that Li Sheng still has the strength to carry out a surprise attack on our army. The main strength of Li Shengjun's army is placed here, and as for the deployment on the side of Luocheng, I am afraid that it is his newly surrendered troops. After entering Yizhou, he has a lot of new people and horses, although the overall combat power may not be much higher than ours, but just so many people are there enough for those cowards in the city to see.

First of all, so many people appeared in the north of the city, and bluffed to make the people in the city think that we were transferred by suspicious soldiers. What do you think the people of Luocheng, who were already deeply frightened of Li Shengjun's combat power, would think? Not to mention the fact that at this time of doubt, I found that the enemy had a large number of soldiers to help. I think that even if I was on the spot, I would be terrified. Although he may not surrender because of this, the fear in his heart is normal for him to shrink his hands and feet, not to mention the people of Yucheng and the eldest son who have been frightened. Don't look at the eldest son being killed, in fact, according to my opinion of the eldest son, even if the eldest son is not killed, the fall of this city is inevitable, because the eldest son will flee - he has already done this on the edge of the water. ”

"Yes." Wu Yi nodded understandingly. As Liu Bi further explained the truth of the matter, he had a clearer understanding of the entire battle situation. Because of this understanding, he was not only afraid of Li Sheng's trickery, but also admired Li Sheng's ability even more. Although he also understood that such a strategy might not be the result of thinking about Li Sheng alone, he still believed that Li Sheng's ability to adopt such a strategy was also magnificent. "Alas, I hate to meet sooner. Those generals under Li Sheng must be very happy to meet such a lord as Li Sheng. But this pleasure is painful for us enemies. Wu Yi muttered. He once again made a comparison between his lord and Li Sheng, and came to the same conclusion as before: "Compared with the wise Li Sheng, Liu Zhang is really nothing." ”

"So what are we going to do now?" After understanding the problem, he naturally had to find a way to solve the problem, although Wu Yi knew that Liu Bi didn't want to pay much attention to the matter in front of him at the moment, he still followed his previous habit to ask his friends.

"What else can be done? Do you think that after Li Shengjun sends cavalry to assault us now, will they still send infantry to cover us? Will you still find a way to catch us all? Liu Bi did not directly answer Wu Yi's question, but directly asked such a question.

"That's natural. Li Sheng is not a fool. Wu Yi replied as a matter of course.

"Then do you want to wait for Li Shengjun's infantry to kill and surround these four miles, or do you want to think of another way?" Liu asked again.

"This ......" Wu Yi hesitated slightly, thought about it, and quickly understood: "We have to leave now, as much as possible before the encirclement of Li Shengjun's encirclement is formed, so as to reduce our losses." He quickly ordered, "Someone!" Set up our banner outside the west gate, and light a bonfire, so that all the soldiers may see where we are, and let them come to us. ”

This is actually a very dangerous move. After all, the enemy is making noise in the camp. Unlike their own unorganized, undisciplined, and panicked soldiers, these enemies here are organized, disciplined, and very murderous, and if they are allowed to find out about the situation here first, and rush over, it will be terrible for them to come over.

"It's possible that you'll die, or not." Wu Yi thought so.

If he were a civil servant, he might not have been able to do so. Although there are many people in the civil service who have a strong backbone, in the eyes of most people, the civil service is synonymous with weakness. The so-called "weak text, weak text, because of the weak text"! There may be some mistakes in using this to describe civil officials in other places, but it seems to be more correct to describe those civil officials in Yizhou.

Fortunately, he, Wu Yi, is not a civil official, but a military general, although cautious, he still has some courage in the end. He will set up the banner outside the west gate, light a bonfire, and just like that stand not far behind the bonfire, waiting for the lucky ones to come. In this melee, he didn't have the strength to take the initiative to help his subordinates break away. Because the men under his command can only rely on themselves, and all he can do is use the few hundred guards he has to escort them for a while when they are about to arrive. There is no way to do this, and even if this is the case, they are very likely to be annihilated by the enemy's attack - of course, Wu Yi knows this, but he has nothing to do about it.

The flag was set up there, and it still had some effect. Everyone knows that Shuai Qi is actually the representative of the main general in the army. The scale of the war is so large, it is impossible for everyone to see the figure of the commander, so the commander's flag often becomes the symbol of the commander. As long as the flag does not fall, people think that the main general is still there. If the banner arrives, the soldiers will think that the commander has been eliminated, and their morale will be greatly reduced. This is the power of the handsome flag. Wu Yi arranged the handsome flag here, undoubtedly to let everyone know where he was, let them know that he, the great general, was still fighting, and let them know that they could find their own team here. It will be the soul of the soldier, and when this handsome flag is erected, there will be those soldiers who have lost their souls and come in panic one after another. For these people, Wu Yi asked people to distinguish from them, select some people with decent quality, add them to the defense line of his own personal guards, strengthen the defense ability of the front, and send those who are very panicked and obvious to the back for them to repair for later use.

In less than a quarter of an hour when this stark banner was erected, no less than a thousand soldiers broke through and surrendered. Although most of them were panicked and could not fight again for a short time, a small number of them were relatively calm. With the help of this small part, Wu Yi's defense line expanded to the size of five hundred people, and finally reached the point where it could initially resist the opponent's small-scale cavalry assault. This made Wu Yi involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief, although he had not been attacked by Zhao Yun's cavalry from the beginning to the present - it seemed that the goal of Zhao Yun's cavalry was not here, their goal was just to send troops to drive their own people out of the camp.

"I don't know, what the hell is Li Sheng doing right now. Could it be that his plan was simply to use cavalry to raid his own camp? Wu Yi thought strangely, and a faint uneasiness came to his heart again. He was really afraid of the feeling of death, because whenever this feeling appeared, he never had good fruit to eat. I don't know if this is the case.
