Chapter 21: Outwitting Reinforcements

Thinking of this, Wan Yong was cold from beginning to end, how could he be hard at hand with others?

"Withdraw! Remove! Quickly order the front army to turn to the rear army and break through to the east! ā€

His soldiers were worthy of having fought so many battles, and they reacted very quickly, changed formations, and began to speed towards the east. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Did the enemy catch up?"

After running for more than ten miles in one breath, and having to carry so many wagons, the soldiers' physical strength was about to run out.

"Not for the time being, the rear army has not been attacked." Men reported.

"That's good, the army of the new dynasty must be going to relieve the siege of Wancheng, and it must be of little interest to us." Wan Yongda breathed a sigh of relief.

Who knows how long he didn't relax, a soldier ran over and reported: "Thousands of enemy cavalry have been found in the east!" ā€

"Oops! We're definitely being targeted! Wan Yong was shocked, and hurriedly ordered to adjust the queue again, and break through to the west instead.

They had been running wildly for so long, and their nerves had been tense, but now that they had encountered the enemy's situation, the soldiers were no longer as orderly as before, and panic began to spread among the army, and everyone rushed to the west.

Wan Yong didn't care about rectifying military discipline, and fled with the head of the carriage without looking back.

After another dozen miles, the procession slowed down suddenly, and many soldiers had already lost their strength and collapsed on the side of the road.

"Why is it so slow!" Wan Yong said anxiously.

"There was a valley ahead, and it was too narrow in the middle, and a large army blocked the mouth of the valley." The soldiers stepped forward to investigate the situation and came back to report.

"Let them get back to the side of the road, let me pass first!" Wan Yong had already lost his square inch at this time, and he just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

It took a lot of effort for the soldiers to clear the way in the midst of the soldiers' complaints, and Wan Yong couldn't wait to take the carriage into the valley.

The valley was lined with smooth rock walls, and the road was indeed narrow enough for a carriage to pass through, so Wan Yong rode ahead of the group and soon reached the middle of the valley.

"Kill!"

A powerful arrow shot straight in front of Wan Yong, startling the horse, and he fell and rolled all over the mud.

"There's an ambush!"

He found it a little late, and when he looked up, he saw that the bows and arrows on the cliff were aimed at him, and there was no cover in the valley, and it was simply a live target.

"Retreat! Withdraw! ā€

There was a dense sound of footsteps ahead, presumably the enemy had blocked the valley mouth, and he retreated towards the entrance under the cover of his own soldiers.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ā€

There were also shouts from the entrance.

The soldiers outside the valley were already exhausted, watching the enemy block the valley mouth, and when they reacted, the other party had already formed a good formation, and where would they be able to attack for a while, and just now Wan Yong left them to flee first, many people have resentment in their hearts, and they don't want to fight hard at this time.

Wan Yong saw that the soldiers outside did not move, and suddenly felt desperate, in normal times, he would never be so discouraged, it was entirely because he was tossed and dizzy and lost his judgment this night.

"God will die for me." Wan Yong felt remorseful, if he hadn't been in such a hurry to be a deserter, he wouldn't have failed so completely, even if he went to Kunyang with Liu Xiu, it would be better than dying here.

He closed his eyes, waiting for that cruel moment to come.

"General Wan is so interested, he actually came here to sleep."

A familiar voice came, and Wan Yong opened his eyes to see that one of the enemy soldiers rode over.

"Liu Xiu? How are you! He rubbed his eyes, was stunned for a while, and then scolded, "Liu Xiu! In vain, you are a descendant of the Han family, and you actually surrendered to the new army! ā€

"Surrender?" Su Yun laughed, "Where is the new army here?" ā€

Only then did Wan Yong see clearly the neat-looking soldiers behind him, all of whom were wearing the costumes of the Green Forest Army.

"What do you mean?" He finally realized that he had been tricked, and his tone became gloomy.

"What do you think will happen if you escape?" Su Yun said coldly.

"I'm just looking for a chance to fight again!" Wan Yong argued with a hard head.

"I think you want to be a landowner with your money." Su Yun came to the side of the carriage and slashed through a wooden box with a knife, revealing the gold and silver inside.

Wan Yong's face flushed, "I admit that I have this thought, and that is also because the enemy army is so powerful that it is really impossible to resist." ā€

"Do you think you're convinced by tonight's defeat?" Su Yun suddenly asked.

"Not convinced! You have a lot of troops in your hands, and you can't win with tricks! Wan Yong said excitedly.

"The soldiers are treacherous, and the tricks are true, but if there are many soldiers, there are really no more, I am only 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can I say too much?" Su Yun said with a smile.

"Impossible!" How could Wan Yong believe it.

Su Yun beckoned, and a soldier stepped forward, he was carrying a long bamboo flat on his shoulder, and four straw men were tied to it, and if he couldn't see clearly in the night, he thought it was a group of soldiers.

"This is the army that scares you out of the south, but only five hundred."

Wan Yong was stunned, his army of 5,000 was actually scared back by the scarecrow this night, and now he can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

After being silent for a long time, he got up and walked in front of Su Yun and fell to the ground.

"Wan Yongzhi is wrong, General Liu is resourceful, it seems that Kunyang may not be defeated, I am willing to be punished, and I ask the general to let me make meritorious service and lead the troops to relieve the siege of Kunyang!"

After the twists and turns of this night, he was finally convinced by Su Yun's heart, and he no longer had the slightest crooked thoughts.

"Good! Now that you've figured it out, we're still good brothers! Su Yunle helped him up.

When the soldiers outside the valley learned what had happened, they were also ashamed, reorganized their ranks according to the order, and returned to Dingling City in a mighty manner.

The dawn appeared on the horizon, and Li Yi woke up groggily, being humiliated by Su Yun last night, which made him so angry that he could only get himself drunk.

After getting up and tidying up, he walked towards the military mansion.

"This Liu Xiu is too deceitful, I want to see how he convinces Wan Yong to send troops today, when Kunyang is defeated, he will be the culprit, I will ask His Majesty to join him, and tell him to cut a thousand knives!"

He thought of the cruelty, smiled so contorted that he lifted his foot and entered the council chamber.

"Li Yi, do you have a spring dream? Why do you laugh so obscenely. ā€

Su Yun was drinking tea with Wan Yong inside, and saw him come in and speak.

"Huh?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, "Why did these two sit together amicably?" ā€

"General Liu, don't forget our mission!" Li Yi glanced at Wan Yong, this person has always been wise to protect himself, and it is impossible to persuade him to send troops.

"Task? Reinforcements, you say? It's done. Su Yun said casually.

"Done?" Li Yi didn't believe his ears a little.

Wan Yong stood up, "I have negotiated with General Liu, and I will personally lead five thousand elite soldiers with you to relieve the siege of Kunyang." ā€

"General Wan, you ......" Li Yi really couldn't figure out why Wan Yong was like two people after only one night.

Su Yun laughed secretly in his heart, last night he had asked Wan Yong to order his soldiers to keep his mouth tight, Wan Yong thought that Su Yun was to take care of his face, and he was grateful, but in fact, Su Yun didn't want Geng Yi's troops to be exposed.

"Okay, I'm not like someone, I know that I don't care about what I need to do when I drink and sleep and have spring dreams." Su Yun said sarcastically.

Li Yi was speechless.

"General Wan, let's set off, the more reinforcements the better, we have to go to Yuncheng for a while." Su Yun ignored him anymore and left the military mansion with Wan Yong.
