Chapter 122: Strategizing

Li Lan's 100,000-strong army not only failed to attack the city, but also almost suffered casualties, so the army was disheartened, and a large number of soldiers became deserters. Ji Guangsen told Li Lan that Guangling is a devil's city and can't be any closer, otherwise there will be no belongings to lose. Li Lan agreed with him, so he fled westward, and after running for two days, he reached Honglong County.

The sergeants on Liang Xingfa's side suffered almost no casualties. Guo Ziyi, Fugu Huaien and other generals were full of praise for Liang Xingfa, and also said that Liang Xingfa would definitely be able to mix in the position above 10,000 people under one person in the future. Liang Xingfa said very modestly, where is it.

They chatted and finally realized that their ultimate task was not to defend the city, but to annihilate the rebels. So, Guo Ziyi patted his head and said, "Oh, you see I'm really forgetful, that guy Li Lan hasn't been eliminated yet." You'll have to find a way to catch up with him. ”

Liang Xingfa said to Guo Ziyi: "The marshal doesn't have to worry. That Li Luan's army had just finished the battle, suffered heavy casualties, and had greatly depleted its vitality, so it would definitely have to find a place to rest, and it would not be able to go far. Send a team of scouts to find out their movements first, and then find a way to hunt them down. ”

Everyone thought that Liang Xingfa was reasonable, so they did what he said. A day later, Tanma reported that the main force of Li Lan's army was stationed in Honglong County, and the rest of the troops were stationed in Litang County.

Liang Xingfa and Guo Ziyi sat in the Chinese military tent, and they came to such a decision after discussion. It is to send two armies to attack Li Lan. One route led more than 10,000 people to attack Litang County, and the other route led more than 40,000 people to attack Honglong County led by Li Ruoyou. But the two armies did not attack at the same time, but in batches. The road was a feint, mainly to distract the enemy. It was Li Ruoyou's team that really attacked.

The people of Fugu Huaien were on the road with ease. Because they don't have a specific combat mission, they are the equivalent of sightseeing trips along the way. If you see wild meat on the way, you can go and have a good time. Anyway, as long as there is a disturbance, let Li Lan and the others know that he is coming to kill in a mighty way.

On the other hand, Li Ruoyou's army had already slaughtered Li Luan with great momentum. Before this, Li Luan and the others didn't know that there was still Li Ruoyou's army, and they were concerned about when Fugu Huaien would arrive, and whether they would divide their troops to rescue at that time. As a result, Li Ruoyou attacked the unprepared Li Lan by surprise. Although Li Luan had more than 100,000 soldiers, far more than Li Ruoyou's soldiers, they were caught off guard before they could organize, and they were killed so much that they were on their backs and bled like a river. Li was defeated and had to continue to flee westward.

There are still three catties of nails in Li Lan's rotten ship, and there are still almost 100,000 horses after packing up the remnants of the defeated generals. If you fight with Fugu Huaien head-on, it will still be very advantageous. But now they have just lost the battle, the people's hearts are unstable, their morale is low, and the soldiers are complaining that Li Lan can't fight and is simple-minded, so they don't want to fight a tough battle for a while.

Ji Guangsen showed his talent as a military advisor again. This old ruffian, who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, quickly recognized the current situation. He said to Li Lan: "It's not okay to fight hard now." The place we are in now is Cunge County, and there are many hills nearby, and the favorable terrain should be used for ambush warfare. This kind of storage can annihilate Li Ruoyou's army in one fell swoop. ”

Li Lan once again praised Ji Guangsen's military qualities, and said very sensibly that Ji Guangsen was sent by God to assist him.

Li Ruoyou was indeed carried away by the victory, he wanted to pursue Li Luan in one go, finish his work in one battle, and then he could make a name for himself. However, the prison guards sent by Liang Xingfa told Li Ruoyou that Liang Xingfa did not allow him to continue the pursuit, but instead diverted to assist Fugu Huaien to flank Li Luan's troops left in Litang on both sides.

Although Li Ruoyou and Fugu Huaien are comrades-in-arms, they have no comradeship, and they are both rushing to make meritorious contributions, which is a competitive relationship. Therefore, he was reluctant to help Fugu Huaien, thinking that it was to help Fugu Huaien, and it seemed that he was very faceless.

As a result, Li Ruoyou stagnated. Because on the one hand, he was unwilling to fight for Fu Gu Huaien, but on the other hand, he did not dare to disobey Liang Xingfa's order. After all, Liang Xingfa is the person he admires the most, and he is also his top boss, so he can't disobey orders blatantly.

It is not easy to change a stone without life, but the human heart is very easy to change. Soon, Li Ruoyou disobeyed Liang Xingfa's order. Because Ji Guangsen and Li Luan waited left and right, and they couldn't wait for Li Ruoyou's army until the flowers were gone, and if they didn't come, Ji Guangsen's ambush circle would not be able to play a role. So, the scheming man came up with another idea, that is, to constantly send small forces to harass Li Ruoyou's army, and when Li Ruoyou wanted to beat them, they pretended to flee. When Li Ruoyou didn't chase after them, it was more disgusting than flies.

Finally, Li Ruoyou's temper exploded. Few people who are military generals are good-tempered. He was annoyed by Li Lan's harassment tactics, so he decided to send a large army to catch up with their lair and annihilate these guts in one fell swoop.

When the prison army stopped Li Ruoyou, Li Ruoyou also said to the prison army with great ambition: "Liang Xingfa and Guo Ziyi, the marshals, did not come to the battlefield in person, because they didn't know how cowardly Li Lu's group of birdmen were. You don't have to be cautious at all when you beat these people, you can see one and kill another. ”

In this way, Li Ruoyou did not listen to the persuasion and rashly attacked Li Luan's troops. Li Lan and Ji Guangsen were overjoyed, they were waiting for this moment, and that mood was like opening the bag and letting the beast get in.

When Li Ruoyou ran to the bottom of the mountain, Li Luan's army suddenly appeared on the surrounding hills, constantly throwing arrows and stones at Li Ruoyou below. Li Ruoyou and others were in a situation of being passively beaten, and the casualties of the troops were becoming more and more serious.

Li Luan laughed and said to Ji Guangsen: "Li Ruoyou, this beast, has been trapped by us. As long as you keep fighting, you can destroy them all. Ji Guangsen also let out a hearty laugh. Because the situation is indeed optimistic for them, Li Ruoyou's men and horses are constantly decreasing, and it is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out. And Li Lan has time to play slowly.

However, Li and others are still too optimistic. Because Liang Xingfa will not sit idly by and watch the life and death of Li Ruoyou and others. He knew early on that Li Ruoyou would take the enemy lightly, and he would definitely fall into an ambush by the enemy. Therefore, he arranged for the north and south city lords to lead the 10,000 horses of the headquarters to come to the rescue, hit Li Luan's flanks, and cut Li Luan's army at once, so that they could no longer encircle and attack Li Ruoyou. Li Ruoyou, who had been suppressed for a long time, seized the favorable opportunity to break through a breakthrough, and attacked Li Lan's army on both sides with the north and south city lords.
