Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The news that Zhang Xutuo led the Qi army to kill a horse gun and suddenly surrounded Ningyang City spread to the Cangtou army camp thirty miles away when the sun was rising in the east.
Li Fengyun immediately ordered to pull out the camp and rush to Ningyang to rescue friendly troops.
When the soldiers heard the news, they all secretly called it lucky, especially those who complained that Li Fengyun gave away the grain, silk and other trophies in Ningyang City to the friendly army, and they were even more ashamed. If you don't resolutely follow Bai Shuai's order to evacuate Ningyang yesterday, then you will inevitably clash with friendly soldiers who rushed into Ningyang City to grab the spoils of war.
Bai Shuai not only anticipated the enemy first, but also kept a clear head when he had the advantage, saw the hidden crisis, decisively gave up the "fat" to his mouth, jumped out of the trap, and preserved the Cangtou army, which really made the soldiers grateful and admired. However, the battle situation has changed again, Zhang Xutuo and the Qi army have returned, while Duan Wencao and the Lu army have been hiding in the city of Bianqiu to wait for work, and the official army once again occupied the upper point and seized the initiative on the battlefield. In this case, the Cangtou army went to Ningyang City to rescue the friendly army with limited strength, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to jump into the trap again, and only waited for Duan Wencao and Lu Cheng to kill out of the city and form a flanking attack with Zhang Xutuo and the Qi army, then the Cangtou army would definitely fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, not only could not save the friendly troops in Ningyang City, but also was in danger of annihilation.
However, no one dared to question Li Fengyun's orders. Since the establishment of the Cangtou Army, all Li Fengyun's decisions have been correct, and his impressive achievements have allowed him to enjoy supreme authority in the army. With Bai Shuai's strategy, it was impossible to pay a heavy price for rescuing those vile and shameless and weak friendly troops, so the worried soldiers did not hesitate to carry out Li Fengyun's order. They believed that since Bai Shuai ordered them to rush to Ningyang to rescue friendly troops, even if there was Zhang Xutuo and his Qi army under Ningyang City, even if Duan Wencao and Lu Jun would kill Ningyang at any time, Bai Shuai would have a perfect countermeasure, and would never fall into a desperate situation and bring about his own destruction.
Xiao Yat is a unique existence in the Cangtou Army, and only Xiao Yat questioned Li Fengyun's order. He found Li Fengyun at the first time. Li Fengyun was already neatly dressed, holding a horsewhip and leading the white horse to prepare for the road.
"General, slow." Xiao Yi was in a hurry, and grabbed Li Fengyun's arm, "General, Ningyang is still a trap, Zhang Xutuo is waiting for you to come to the rescue, just wait for you to arrive in Ningyang and attack it, that is, when Duan Wencao led the Lu army to kill the flawed hill." General, the strategy of the officers and soldiers has become clear by now, if you go to rescue Ningyang, it is equivalent to falling into a trap, and the whole army will be destroyed. ”
Xiao Yi originally admired Li Fengyun very much. Yesterday, Li Fengyun resolutely threw away the "fat meat" in his mouth, jumped out of the trap with the Cangtou army, and warned the friendly troops who entered Ningyang. And the battle situation has unfolded so far, and it can even be maliciously speculated that the reason why Li Fengyun took Ningyang at any cost was to take advantage of the greed of friendly soldiers to lure them into Ningyang, let Zhang Xutuo and Duan Wencao "eat" them, and let the officers and soldiers win this battle, and then Zhang Xutuo would leave Lu County, and Lu County would once again return to the previous situation where Duan Wencao and the Mengshan Righteous Army confronted each other. With the strength of Li Fengyun and the Cangtou Army, it is already a remarkable achievement to successfully break through and preserve the strength in this encirclement and suppression of the official army.
Who knew that Xiao Yi's speculations were overturned by Li Fengyun's order in a blink of an eye. Li Fengyun actually ordered to rescue the friendly troops in Ningyang City, wouldn't this be sent to death? With Li Fengyun's intelligence, how could he not see the battle situation that was already clear? In this case, why did Li Fengyun kill himself?
Li Fengyun saw Xiao Yi's eager expression, and couldn't help but feel a trace of generosity in his heart. Before, the twelve ladies of the Cui family still put Xiao Yi in Mengshan, but it was just a temporary intention, with an emergency intention, and Xiao Yi was a gentleman, and he did not have the consciousness of being a secret envoy. Li Fengyun was greatly dissatisfied, and secretly instructed Xu Shisan to "sharpen" Xiao Yi fiercely, and as a result, Xu Shisan successfully completed the task, and the "sharpening" was very successful, and he turned a gentleman into a talent in a short period of time. At this moment, Xiao Yi ran to dissuade him, it was his secret envoy's duty, he had to ensure the survival of the Cangtou army, if the Cangtou army was wiped out, if there was no more, wouldn't Cui's layout in Qilu and Xuzhou be in vain? Xiao Yat has matured, and it can be seen that the quality of the environment can still directly affect a person's growth.
"Xiao Lang, didn't you say that Zhang Xutuo was forced by the bad shape of Qi County, and he left immediately after the battle?" Li Fengyun smiled for a long time.
Xiao Yi thought about it for a while, and somewhat understood Li Fengyun's intentions. Zhang Xutuo was anxious to return to Qi County, so he not only fought and left, but also preserved his strength as much as possible. It can be inferred from this that after he completed the deployment of the attack, the next vicious battle will be fought by Duan Wencao and Lu Jun. However, Duan Wencao and the Lu army are still standing still in the city of Bianqiu, so Zhang Xutuo has no choice but to do his best to storm Ningyang City and annihilate thousands of soldiers such as Han Jinluo. In this way, Duan Wencao did not spend a single soldier, and he got the credit of suppressing the chaos and thieves, and he also preserved his strength, and he will maintain a great advantage in the next battle with the Cangtou army.
Li Fengyun saw Xiao Yi thoughtful, and added, "Didn't you say that if you want to seize the grain in Ningyang City, you must defeat Duan Wencao?" ”
Xiao Yat suddenly realized. At this point, the trap of Ningyang City has been wielded, whether it is Zhang Xutuo or Li Fengyun, now Duan Wencao and Lu Jun need to be dispatched immediately, but Duan Wencao is a treacherous and slippery, and he is still standing still in the city of Defective Hill, his intention is obvious, he is just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, that is, he expects Zhang Xutuo and the righteous army to fight a defeat, and then he goes out of the city to clean up the mess and the fisherman profits. Imagine, in this case, will Zhang Xutuo still fight to the death? If the Qi army loses more than half, what if he completely annihilates the rebel army? It is Duan Wencao who profits, but he has to face the bad situation of Qi County and even Ludong, once the chaos is not effective, affecting the expedition of the Donglai Water Division, he will be finished.
It can be inferred that at this moment, Zhang Xutuo is in a dilemma under Ningyang City, and he hates Duan Wencao who calculates him even more. At this time, Li Fengyun led the Cangtou army to kill outside Ningyang City with great momentum, and formed an internal and external attack with the friendly troops in the city, what should Zhang Xutuo do? To fight, or not to fight? Fighting, for him there is only harm and no good, in this case, is he still fighting?
Li Fengyun asked two rhetorical questions in a row, which opened Xiao Yi's mind, don't look at the battle situation as unfavorable to the rebels, but in fact, the fighter plane is hidden in the crisis, it depends on whether you can seize those fleeting opportunities.
"Taught." Xiao Yi bowed and thanked Li Fengyun.
Li Fengyun waved his horsewhip and said with a smile, "A certain person said, it is as easy as a handful of people to play a piece of literary exercise." ”
Yuan An happened to come over, and said with a smile when he heard the words, "The key is to lure the snake out of the hole, if Duan Wencao can't go out of the city, Ming Gong's words will become a joke." ”
Li Fengyun laughed and flew on his horse.
Yuan An also got on the horse and walked side by side with Li Fengyun.
"Order the regiments to march in battle formation, ready to go into battle at any time." Li Fengyun gave an order.
The herald galloped away.
"Ming Gong, Zhang Xutuo is very brave, if the Qi army conquers Ningyang City in one go, the battle situation will be unfavorable to me." Yuan An said worriedly, "In addition, if Duan Wencao kills out of Defective Hill City at this moment, the shape will definitely take a sharp turn." ”
Li Fengyun shook his head again and again, "We are outside the trap, we can advance and retreat freely, if the battle situation is unfavorable, we can only retreat to Mengshan." ”
"In this way, the loss is great." Yuan An sighed.
Li Fengyun's expression was solemn, and a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes. The losses Yuan An mentioned were not only the casualties of the Cangtou army's attack on Ningyang City, but also the heavy blow to the Mengshan rebels after the annihilation of Han Jinluo and other friendly forces.
The reason why he fought Ningyang City at any cost before was to lure Han Jinluo and others into the trap of Ningyang, so that Han Jinluo and the others' army became "bait", but the Cangtou army took the opportunity to jump out of the trap and seize the initiative. It's just that if the army of Han Jinluo and others can't hold Ningyang City, and under Zhang Xutuo's attack, it will collapse at the first touch, then their plan to attack the enemy will not be able to be implemented.
Li Fengyun looked up at the red morning sun in the eastern sky, and secretly prayed to the heavens for help. As long as Han Jinluo and the others resolutely hold Ningyang, then their plan will have the possibility of success, not only can they use the enemy's sword to severely damage the army of Han Jinluo and other four heroic commanders, easily "eat" them, strengthen themselves, and at the same time can defeat the official army, grab food, occupy territory, and show themselves.
The Cangtou army had to always guard against Duan Wencao and the Lu army from killing out of the city, so they always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and the march was relatively slow.
Five miles to the west, there were scouts lurking outside Ningyang City, rushing to report to Li Fengyun, the Qi army stormed Ningyang City for two hours, suddenly stopped the attack, and its main force was withdrawing in the direction of Gongqiu.
Li Fengyun was a little puzzled. What does Zhang Xutuo want? Won't you fight for two hours? If you don't fight, you won't fight, why evacuate in a hurry? Are you worried that after being attacked by our army and falling into the predicament of being attacked by our army, the losses will be too great?
"Is there any movement in the direction of the Blemish Hill?" Li Fengyun saw Yuan An galloping from the rear of the team, and hurriedly asked.
"No, Duan Wencao is still cowering in the city." Yuan An's tone was quite anxious, Duan Wencao never came out, and this battle would be difficult to fight, "Ming Gong, is there any news from Ningyang?" ”
"Ningyang is still in our hands, but Zhang Xutuo stopped fighting for two hours and is evacuating in the direction of Gongqiu."
Yuan An was slightly stunned. Zhang Xutuo evacuated? What do you mean? Don't fight? Or is there another plan?
"Ming Gong, what's the plan?" Yuan An asked anxiously.
"Forward!" Li Fengyun raised his horsewhip and pointed forward, and said loudly, "If Duan Wencao doesn't leave the city, Zhang Xutuo won't evacuate, if he evacuates without authorization, it is equivalent to letting Duan Wencao seize the handle, so it is concluded that Zhang Xutuo is angry, his evacuation is fake, and it is true that Duan Wencao was forced to leave the city." Ordered all regiments to fly to Ningyang, Zhang Xutuo did not fight, we fought. ”
