Good things always come one after the other. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Just after Li Sheng accepted the surrender of Li Hui and the clan forces he represented, the Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army, which had been without news, received exciting information: the 10,000 Shanyue soldiers of the Western Route Army finally arrived in Du'an County of Wenshan County after losing nearly 1,000 people, and repaired in Du'an County, waiting for the order of Shu County to attack on his side; and the 20,000 troops of the Eastern Route Army commanded by Wei Yan passed through Badong, Ba County, and Brazil to Dongguanghan, Now he has also arrived in the five cities of Dongguang Han and is stationed, and he is also waiting for his own order.

This is good news, and as soon as Li Sheng received the good news from the white clothes, he told Pang Tong and Fa Zheng that they knew the news, which made both of them involuntarily rejoice. Of course, they are all extraordinary people, and after rejoicing, they also have questions about the news: "They are all very fast." However, Zhou Rui is just that, after all, he only needs to hurry, but this Wei Yan! He came from Jingzhou, but he had to pass through the territory of three counties, and there must be obstacles along the way, how could he travel so quickly? ”

"Well, this one!" Li Sheng smiled mysteriously, but he sold a pass: "There must be a reason for this." ”

"Why?" Fa Zheng asked.

Wei Yan fought with Yan Yan, who was defending Jiangzhou, besieged the city for more than a month, and finally forced Yan Yan to land. Later, with Yan Yan's help, the three counties of Ba County, Brazil, and Dongguang Han surrendered without a fight. It can be said that Wei Yanzai fought a battle with Yan Yan in Jiangzhou, and he was also in a hurry the rest of the time. Li Sheng explained with a smile.

"Huh? Wei Yan ordered General Yan to surrender? That's a great thing for us. Fa Zheng was very happy when he heard this.

"That's true!" Li Sheng understood the reason for his joy, so he also nodded: "This can be regarded as Liu Zhang's death." But it's also the result of what we did later. Liu Yan's matter was used very well by us, so General Yan Yan would have surrendered. Because he is also a general who truly loves the people. Now that the two people with the highest prestige in the Yizhou army have come to us, it is time to completely solve the problem of Yizhou. I want to wait here for five days, let Wei Yan and them repair the five cities, and then ask him to come and fight with us and attack the city together. What do you think? Li Sheng smiled and expressed his opinion to the two military advisors.

"It's a bit more cautious, but it's doable." Pang Tong pondered for a moment and said, but he felt a little strange that Li Sheng suddenly became so cautious: "It's just that why did the lord become so cautious when he sent his troops to Luocheng?" It stands to reason that the situation in the city is so chaotic, it is when we go up in one go and break through the city, why does the lord blindly ask for relief when he arrives here? Isn't the lord afraid that the Yizhou army will suppress all the objections in the city, and then defend the city? ”

"Hah, that's unlikely." Li Sheng shook his head slightly.

"Why?" Pang Tong didn't understand.

"Because Liu Bi has been dismissed. The successor to Liu Zhang's position as chief general was Liu Zhang's brother-in-law Wu Yi. This person is also a calm and steady general like Liu Bi, but unlike Liu Bi, his heart is not hard enough, and he also cares more about his reputation. At present, there are already examples of Liu Yi being dismissed because he didn't care about the people and only wanted to achieve victory, do you imagine that this soft-hearted and famous-loving Wu Yi would dare to use the same strategy like Liu Bi? ”

"I see." Pang Tong nodded understandingly, but he was still a little unwilling: "Even if there is no situation where the city is integrated, the lord should quickly solve the matter here." You know, we are already connected with Cao Cao, and we may be attacked by Cao Cao at any time. If we delay for too long, and let Cao Cao call first, this situation will be very unfavorable to us. In my opinion, we should quickly listen to the city. Even if you have to wait for Wei Yan's Western Route Army to come to the round, you can wait under the city. There's no need to grind mushrooms here. ”

"Well, this one!" Li Sheng hesitated slightly. In fact, it was not that he didn't want to march, but he was afraid that he would take risks when he marched, which would lead to the fall of Pang Tong as a military advisor. After all, in his previous plan, Pang Tong followed Liu Bei and died on the way to the city. Now he has taken Liu Bei's place to attack Xishu, but Pang Tong is still the military advisor of the expedition to Shu, and everything seems to be so familiar with history. In such a situation, he had to be cautious in order to prevent the tragedy from happening. Of course, he couldn't say these words directly, and the reasons he thought of were not worth mentioning in Pang Tong's eyes. So he was silent under Pang Tong's questioning, and after a long time, he cowardly asked: "Then how does Shiyuan think we should enter the army?" I always thought we weren't ready. ”

"Not done?" Not only did Pang Tong feel strange at this time, but even Fa Zheng was surprised by this: "What else is not ready?" We have prepared the grain and grass. The morale of the army is already high. The enemy is already weak. Aside from the reinforcements that can be waited for or not, I really don't know what else we need to prepare. ”

"Of course, I'm worried that Shiyuan will die here." Li Sheng wanted to shout loudly like this. He had a reason why he couldn't join the army, but this reason could never be said, and this feeling of knowing but not saying anything made him uncomfortable. In desperation, he could only straddle his face and ask weakly, "So Xiaozhi also thinks that we need to enter the army?" ”

"Exactly." Fa Zheng nodded vigorously: "If you don't seize the opportunity, it's a mediocre behavior." He said lightly sarcastically.

"This ......" Li Sheng was stunned by Fa Zheng's admonition, and the expression on his face was astringent, but he asked a little weakly: "Then Shiyuan and Xiaozhi, how do you think we should march?" ”

"I've heard that there are two possible roads to the city from here. One is the avenue, which can lead directly to the north gate of the city, and the other is the small road, but it can be turned to the west gate of the city. I think it is better for us to march in two ways, and go all the way to the bottom of the city, so as to give the defenders of the city the greatest shock; One road was sneak attacked by a small road, around the west gate of the city, and dealt the most unexpected blow to the defenders of the city. Pang Tong suggested to Li Sheng—his suggestion was exactly the same as the advice he had given to Liu Bei in history.

"Sure enough!" Li Sheng frowned noncommittally and screamed with a headache. In the face of Pang Tong's strategy, he was a little depressed and wanted to call his mother. He didn't know what kind of power was doing the trick in the dark, and he actually asked Pang Tong to offer him the same plan when he was "replaced" by Liu Bei. "Alas......" Li Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, cheered up, and asked Fa Zheng instead: "Xiaozhi, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"My lord, I think what Pang Junshi said is feasible, and it is deeply in line with the virtual and real ways of the art of war. If the army is sent out from this, I am afraid that this small city will be able to fall in one go. Fa Zheng thought about it but also agreed with Pang Tong's point of view, they all thought that this strategy could take down Yucheng in the shortest possible time.

"Alas......" Li Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to agree immediately, but asked, "How high is the concealment of this path?" How few people know? Even if you are a native of Yizhou? ”

"This ......" Fa Zheng heard that Li Sheng's tone seemed to be a little wrong, but he thought about it for a long time and never figured out what was wrong, so he could only answer in response to Li Sheng's question: "This is a very hidden path, and we didn't know that this road existed beforehand." It was only occasionally that I met a woodcutter in the mountains, and I knew that there was such a mountain road leading to the city. From the woodcutter's tone, we judged that not many people knew about this path, and it was hidden among the cliffs and trees, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find it. It is the best to use it as a surprise soldier to attack the city. ”

"Oh? Are you relieved to be so hidden? Aren't you afraid of what if? Li Sheng didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, so he asked another question worriedly, "Such a hidden path must be steep." What will you do if the enemy learns of this, and casts a large army on either side of the road and strikes him with arrows and stones? ”

"This ...... Unlikely. Pang Tong didn't believe this: "It's unlikely that the enemy will make such a move, because even the natives of the city rarely know about the situation of the trail." ”

"But what if?" Li Sheng insisted on this point of view.

"What if? If we are worried about anything, what are we going to do when we come to war? Pang Tong was dismissive of this.

"You can not worry, but I can't help but worry. I have to worry, I have to think about everyone. War sometimes has to be risky, and I have nothing to do with that, but I am against taking risks that are not necessary. Obviously, there can be a more secure way, and it is obvious that you can make your army stronger, so there is no need to use any surprise weapons to put yourself in danger. Li Sheng said solemnly, "It is the right way, and it is not useful." It's okay to attack the city and march into the army, but I definitely don't want to march from the trail. It's fine if we win, but if something goes wrong, I think we'll all regret it. ”

"The lord ......" Pang Tong still wanted to persuade Li Sheng again.

However, Li Sheng shook his head without waiting for him to finish: "Shiyuan, don't say it again, this is my order." I'm going to have the whole army set out from the main road. Victory was on the verge and I didn't want to capsize in the gutter. He had an iron face, and his tone was very firm.

"Okay then." Seeing Li Sheng's insistence, Pang Tong naturally didn't want to say anything more, so he reluctantly agreed. Although, as far as his own thoughts are concerned, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with using odd soldiers.

The army finally began to march, and the 40,000-strong army rose up and strolled towards the city. The whole army was walking on the main road, and Li Sheng did not give any orders to speed up the march, except for setting them the goal that they must reach the city within today, what Li Sheng did was to let Zhao Yun's cavalry walk at the forefront of the team as the vanguard of the whole army. Li Sheng's order to them was: "Walk in front as a sharp knife, walk on guard, and find and sweep away possible troubles for the follow-up troops." ”

It's an attitude, a cautious attitude. When the army held such a cautious attitude, and put on a strict military appearance, Shi Shiran walked on the main road. Wu Lan, who wanted to attack Li Shengjun from both flanks, was completely dumbfounded, he never thought that Li Shengjun would maintain such a high level of vigilance even during the march. He didn't dare to move, so he had to lie down even lower, lest he be discovered by Li Shengjun.

Although there is no Zhang Ren, the only general in Shu who can be regarded as handsome, Liu Zhangjun's arrangement on the front line of this city is still similar to the arrangement in Li Sheng's memory: it still puts on a posture of blocking the main road and ambushing the small road. Even Wu Yi and Liu Bi further strengthened this arrangement after discussing it - they even sent an ambush like Wu Lan on the main road to disrupt the formation of Li Sheng's army.

"In order to save our reputation, we must defeat Li Shengjun in the field." This oath was made by the big-talking brother Liu Wei, but it was approved by almost all the soldiers and junior officers, and they broke up, forcing Wu Yi to agree to such a plan to ambush Li Sheng as they marched. This is also Wu Lan's current ambush.

The discrimination of the people in the city against the soldiers made the soldiers feel angry in their hearts, and their nest fire turned into anger against Li Shengjun under the guidance of Liu Wei. This may be the only good thing Liu Wei has done here. The next thing is simple: because the soldiers are very warlike in their hearts, they also think of ways, show determination, and make all kinds of efforts to make a difference for their own army to win. Among them, there was a soldier from a local area in Luocheng, who told Liu Kai that there was a small road that allowed people to go straight to the west of Luocheng.

"It is very likely that Li Shengjun will march from here." As soon as they heard that there was such a hidden road, almost all the Yizhou generals, whether it was Wu Yi, Liu Wei, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, or Liu Bi, who had been demoted to a subordinate disciple, held a point of view on this. They never thought that Li Sheng would not know such a wonderful place, so they deduced from Li Sheng's performance that he liked to steal and use tricks, and it was very likely that Li Sheng would sneak attack Yucheng from the path.

Since there is such a possibility, it is natural to strengthen the prevention of this possibility. Wu Yi and Liu Bi discussed it, and finally made an arrangement: that is, to put the main battlefield under the city, defend the city with 20,000 soldiers, and go out of the city with 20,000 soldiers to meet the enemy. In addition, Wu Lan and Lei Tong were sent to lead 5,000 troops each to the main road and the trail to ambush, and if Li Sheng's army passed through these two directions, he would launch an interception and kill Li Sheng's army according to the possible situation. Although there were 50,000 troops participating in the battle, both the generals and the soldiers understood that among the 50,000 people, only 30,000 people who went out of the city to fight would fight with Li Shengjun. As for the 20,000 men who remained in the city to defend it? Hmph, they don't want to surrender the city as soon as they see Li Shengjun's banner coming.

"Those people are just a bunch of timid trash." Wu Yi and his subordinates thought so, and they didn't look down on these garrisons who had been guarding the city for a long time.

The soldiers and horses have been arranged, and now we will wait for the arrival of Li Shengjun. Wu Yi and Liu Yi thought that what they were waiting for was a team that had been harassed and looked a little tired. However, when Li Sheng's army followed closely behind Zhao Yun's cavalry and arrived under the city, Wu Yi and Liu Bi realized that they seemed to be wrong again. The Li Shengjun who appeared here was so prosperous, how could he be a little tired.

"Didn't Wu Lan attack them at all?" Wu Yi and Liu Bi both made this conjecture.

This also seems to be correct, because Wu Lan did not do anything. After seeing the majesty of Li Sheng's army when it marched, Wu Lan, who had always thought that he was not timid, also felt a little frightened. He is not afraid to go to the battlefield, but he is never willing to go to the battlefield where he understands that he is sent to death - with 5,000 people in his hands to ambush Li Sheng's 40,000 troops in a neat formation, with extraordinary momentum, and heavy martial law protection on both flanks and front and rear, what is it if it is not to send to death. Wu Lan didn't want to do this, not only did he not want to do this, but even the soldiers who followed him and attacked Li Shengjun with him were not willing to do this. As a result, Wu Lan lurked again, and did not dare to show any horses and feet when Li Sheng's army passed by. After all, the place where they ambushed was on both sides of the main road, and it was a place where it was easy for others to find out and be surrounded and suppressed, which was simply different from the path where his friend Lei Tong went to ambush.

Wu Lan did not move, and Li Sheng was able to push his army under the city without any hindrance. At this moment, the city he is facing is a "fortified city" with a dual defense system and horns to help each other. Although Li Sheng knew that under the solidity of this city, it was a very fragile foundation of the people's hearts, but in the face of Wu Yijun, who was obviously still capable of fighting with him, Li Sheng seemed to be unable to touch the fruit under the hard shell. There was no way, Li Sheng had to let his soldiers set up their own camp first, and set up their own camp five miles north of the city.

Li Shengjun did this move of setting up camp in front of the Yizhou army, although there was a four-mile gap between the two sides, but these four miles were on flat ground, and you can also see the general idea of what the other side was doing - Li Shengjun did such a thing in front of Wu Yi, which was obviously considered a humiliation by Wu Yi and Wu Yi's subordinates.

"I can't stand it anymore, General, please give us the order to attack them. These barbarians must be taught a lesson. One of Wu Yi's lieutenants suggested to Wu Yi that for Li Shengjun's deceitful behavior, these generals did not have the best cultivation and could endure it.

"Alright! Then you take 5,000 people to try? Wu Yi nodded with a calm face, but ordered in words that had no confidence. He is not a saint, and under Li Shengjun's obvious insult, he is also angry. It's just that he thought of Li Shengjun's prosperous military appearance, and thought of the strength of Li Shengjun that he had been encountering, which made him have a certain guard against Li Shengjun's very likely follow-up moves. So, he gave the order to attack, but the attack was clearly limited to a certain range, and he defined it as "temptation". It's just a test with 5,000 people, which seems to be too wasteful for Wu Yijun, who only has 20,000 people. But, in any case, the order was given after all.

"Brother, let's go and kill the enemy!" The lieutenant rode on his horse and held the spear in his hand and shouted loudly. Wu Yi's words were full of contradictions and helplessness, he didn't understand, he only knew that his general agreed to teach the other party a lesson. He was excited, and the anger in his heart surged up in his heart, giving him extraordinary courage when he looked at the opposing army's army from a distance and did not feel the great might. He wasn't afraid of them, at least for now.

The adjutant shouted and led a group of men and horses to rush forward. The distance of five miles is not too far, but it will take them a quarter of an hour to run. Seeing that the enemy formation on the opposite side became clearer little by little, they did feel Li Shengjun's extraordinary momentum. The feeling of fear had crept into their hearts, but they couldn't retreat. Although no one was behind them, none of them wanted to turn back in such fear, because they didn't want to face that contemptuous gaze again. "Fight ......!" They forced themselves to tremble in their hearts, but they had more strength under their feet. They all thought that as long as they fought one more time, they would have a chance to let the enemy on the opposite side know that the Yizhou army was not a bad breed.

"This is a team that has come with a determination to kill." Li Sheng was looking in the direction of Luocheng from afar, looking at the group of enemies who rushed in, and suddenly understood the "misery" in their hearts. "Perhaps, my rumor-attacking plan is a little too much?" Occasionally, Li Sheng would have such an unbearable feeling, but this unbearable was quickly extinguished without a trace of firmness: "Just kidding, the enemy on the other side is the enemy." Can't bear the enemy? Li Sheng, are you funny? Li Sheng scolded himself in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Let the front army and the vanguard force act according to the plan." ”

Marching and fighting is not a child's house, and it does not mean that you can do whatever you want. Although Li Sheng rejected Pang Tong's proposal with a very tough attitude at the beginning, he demanded that the whole army go down this road. But how to come here, how to go here, how to avoid harassment by the enemy, how to set up camp under the city, these are all things that need to be carefully considered. Li Sheng knew that it would be safe to take the big road, but he also knew that the so-called safety was only relative, so he naturally discussed a set of plans with Pang Tong and Fa Zheng. It seems that many of these plans are not needed until now, but one of the many that is not used is about the present. A lot of effort has been made, but it is not without any effect. Isn't it? Fighting a war is not a casual thing.

The order was swiftly communicated. Li Shengjun's soldiers began to move under the good orders of their respective commanders: the big shield hands in the front two rows still did not move, they were already standing very densely, so naturally they did not need to make more adjustments, at most they took out the short spears hidden in the shields; The three rows of spearmen in the back quickly widened the distance between their front and rear at this moment, and the spears in their hands stepped forward one by one, directly pointing the sharp and sharp straight in the direction of the enemy; The archers began to stand, and they interspersed with the pikemen opening the gap, drawing their bows and arrows, and seeing that the longbow in their hands was half-opened, they silently adjusted the angle of their arms and the size of their bows according to the orders of their respective leaders. Under such a formation, Li Shengjun's soldiers, except for the big shield soldiers at the front, could not see the enemy at all, and all their actions had to be completed under the orders of their respective commanders. Obviously, at this moment, they are no longer living beings, but a composition of a war machine with powerful lethality, they do not rely on their blood to fight the enemy, they rely on the cooperation of more people, rely on cooperation to deal with the offender in front of them. This is their completely different idea from the Yizhou Army, and it is precisely this different idea that makes them have far stronger combat effectiveness than the Yizhou Army - because the soldiers of the Yizhou Army often rely on the efforts of one person to fight, and Li Shengjun since Li Sheng issued the rectification order, what he began to pursue was to maximize the overall combat strength of the army organization, and fight countless individuals with one person, where is there any reason not to fail?

In an instant, the two sides quickly approached each other. To be precise, the Yizhou army quickly rushed towards Li Shengjun. Of course, this approaching them was very fleshy and rushed up, although the queue was still some, but it had long since become less neat after a long run. In this case, it stands to reason that they should shoot at the front of Li Sheng's army, and then reorganize the army to fight, but ...... It seems that at this time, these people are all dazed one by one, and they are still rushing forward with great blood without doing any rectification.

This...... It's not any kind of flesh anymore. For the people who rushed up, Li Sheng had a good comment for them, that is, "Silly! ”

The arrow was fired when the Yizhou army was still about thirty zhang away from their side. In this range, which is absolutely lethal to the archers, the arrows rained down like a passing typhoon, giving the people of the Yizhou army a taste of what is called violence. The swarming soldiers were hit by the arrows as they ran, and they were only slightly stunned by the force, and then they were attacked by more arrows. There were no wounded, only the dead, because the density of the arrows was so arrogant that it was impossible for the Yizhou soldiers to dodge. As a result, the former army, about 1,000 people, was exhausted. This is a very normal ending, and there are not many surprises about it. Only the living are glad about this, and the dead, he is already dead, can he have other thoughts?

In order to ensure the quality and effect of the arrow attack, and also to shock those who were sent to death, Li Shengjun used a salvo at the moment, instead of a round shot. Therefore, after this wave of arrows passed, Li Shengjun's attack changed and paused slightly, which was what made the soldiers of the Yizhou Army feel lucky. They frantically moved forward, but still not a single one of them retreated.

Five breaths, another wave of arrows fell, and they lost another batch of people. At this moment, they still rushed to a place less than twenty zhang away from Li Shengjun, and they had reached the point where they could clearly see the patterns drawn on Li Shengjun's big shield. The proximity of the distance exhilarates them. They still wanted to rush into Li Shengjun's formation and fight them with knives and guns. They were convinced that they could win, so they didn't back down.

Another batch of arrow feathers fell, and there were many fewer people who could stand, but those who were still alive seemed to be able to breathe a long sigh of relief while rejoicing in their luck. This is already quite close to the enemy, and even if the enemy throws it at a large angle, there is a high chance that the arrow will be shot at the head of his own person. Therefore, they are unlikely to attack their own side.

"Without this terrible bow and arrow, my side should be able to compete with them." They stepped forward with such a desire that had been cut down a lot. "Rushing, it is necessary to rush in order for us to show our courage." Since, the anticipation is right in front of their eyes, they are excited. Although at this point, their number is not even half of what it used to be.

But just when they were so happy, Li Sheng was very immoral to extinguish their joy. Of course, Li Sheng didn't use water to extinguish it, he used a short spear, to be exact, a throwing spear. Although the range of this spear was not so ideal because he had to use his body against the big shield that he could not move, so that the strength of his whole body could not be gathered on his arm, the range of this spear was not so ideal, but the Yizhou army had rushed to such a close distance of only five zhang away from them, and the question of the so-called range was not a problem. Three thousand short spears were projected in unison, weaving into a black net in the sky above the soldiers of the Zhongyizhou Army. This is the "web of death" that can take human life, and when this net falls, there are many more corpses on the ground, and the red blood and water mixed with the floating soil on the ground flow slowly. The bloody breath of the city filled the air, and it made people feel like they were vomiting.

It was an absolute thunderbolt. Under this blow, the lucky ones of the more than 2,000 Yizhou troops who finally survived the three waves of arrow rain with a glimmer of hope were left with little hope left. Maybe there are three or four hundred more fortunate existences, but what else can such an existence do in front of Li Shengjun's tightly covered shield, in front of the spears that shine from behind the shield? Don't say that they have been stupid by Li Shengjun's attack power that can almost be described as "perverted" at the moment, even if they are not stupid, it is absolutely impossible for them to do anything in front of the army.

As for the lieutenant who led them forward, fantasizing that he could teach Li Sheng a lesson, he was long lost in the last short spear projection. At this moment, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded, and Zhao Yun's five thousand cavalry galloped over, cutting off the back roads of these last remaining Yizhou soldiers. Obviously, being tied down is the only choice for those of them who are not capable of doing anything.
