When Wang Xingben was trying to lure Xiao Buyi out of the city for a battle, Xiao Buyi was of course also luring Wang Xingben into the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers are treacherous, if you want to say that there are many tricks, Xiao Buyi is of course far better than Wang Xingben. He is far more cautious and cautious than Wang Xingben, because he uses his own capital, but Wang Xingben is the capital of Kao Shichong.

It's not your own money, and it's certainly not so heart-wrenching to use it. It can be seen that when the Huainan army suffered at least 1,000 casualties, Yang Gongqing finally couldn't hold his breath and reminded: "King Jing, Xiao Buyi is tricking us into entering the city. ”

Wang Xingben suddenly woke up, like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and he had regained his senses.

Just now, he was irritable and impetuous, just thinking about attacking the city and capturing Xiao Buyi alive, and the screams at that moment made him lose his mind. Seeing that the Huainan army kept falling, he realized that the situation was not good.

Cold sweat broke out from his vest, Wang Xingben took a few steps back, and then he broke out of the atmosphere like a demon realm, and said in a loud voice: "General Yang, do we have any hope of attacking the city?" ”

Yang Gongqing immediately said: "No, there is no chance." ”

"Then let them stop the siege." Wang Xingben said hurriedly.

Yang Gongqing's order was handed down, and the Huainan army retreated like a tide, but at the city gate, there were already piles of corpses like hills. Blood flowed down the ground, and the land there had long been dyed purple and red.

As soon as the Huainan army stopped, Xiao Buyi appeared from the wall again and sneered: "Why did the virtuous nephew retreat? ”

Wang Xingben said hatefully: "Only the turtle hides in the shell and does not dare to come out." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded again and again: "What the virtuous nephew said is very true, after you turn around, you must tell Shichong that if you want to come out to fight, don't hide in the turtle shell." My Yongfu City, there is no turtle shell, but the door is open, and you are welcome to visit at any time. ”

Wang Xingben couldn't beat him, he couldn't scold him, and he almost blew up his lungs.

Xiao Buyi added fuel to the fire and said: "The virtuous nephew is not convinced, and he still wants to fight again?" Yesterday I used an hour's effort, and I also entered from this gate, and according to the ability of the virtuous nephew, I can give you a day's effort. Of course, if one day is not enough, I can give you another month. ”

The more he spoke, the more sarcastic he became, obviously mocking Wang Xingben's incompetence. Thinking that he Xiao Buyi would conquer Yongfu City in an hour, if Wang Xing couldn't conquer it in a month, the comparison of abilities would of course be a world of difference.

Wang Xingben was so angry that he was about to attack the city again, Yang Gongqing hurriedly said: "King Jing, Xiao Buyi used the method of agitating generals!" ”

Wang Xingben immediately calmed down, only to find that Xiao Buyi was by no means talking nonsense with him, but deliberately provoking him.

After understanding this, Wang Xingben was secretly shocked, and sneered: "I'm afraid that if I give me another month, I won't be able to see the world-famous ironclad cavalry, but I can see the ironclad turtle soldiers clearly." ”

Xiao Buyi said lightly: "Really? Then I can assure you that if you wait here for a month, you will definitely meet the ironclad cavalry that will terrify the rats. ”

Wang Xingben retreated with hatred, knowing that if he continued to talk like this, he would not get any results for a month. What's more, at the moment, he has no danger to defend, there is no food and grass, how can he survive for a month with only a sharp spirit?

"Retreat!" Wang Xing had an unwilling order.

Yang Gongqing was overjoyed in his heart, and gave the order to go down and order the Huainan army to retreat. Of course, retreating is also a science, and you can't retreat in panic and give the opponent a chance to attack.

Xiao Buyi was at the head of the city, and when he saw that although the Huainan army was frustrated, when it retreated, it was still orderly and hidden, and he couldn't help frowning.

Lu Laosan couldn't help laughing, "King Xiliang, Wang Xingben, this kid doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, this time he is deflated, I'm afraid he will never come again." Do you want us to send troops to attack their rear army? ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head, "This Yang Gongqing is a bit of a doorman, and besides, most of them have ambushes, and they don't have too many chances of winning if they rush to send troops." But it's also a pleasure to let them go home. ”

When he said this, he laughed out loud again. For a while, the city was full of Xiao Buyi's hearty laughter.

The Western Liang army has been lying in ambush in the shadows, and when they heard the king of Xiliang laughing, they all rushed to the wall and shouted loudly: "Hu'er of the Western Regions claims to be the king in vain, and he does not measure his strength to send troops to busy, a king of Wei, a king of Jing, the king of Wei is captured, the king of Jing is defeated, and there is a shilang in the world!" ”

The Western Liang army shouted in unison, and the sound spread far away, bursting with laughter in an instant. Wang Shichong was originally a descendant of the people of the Western Regions, and this Western Regions Huer is of course Wang Shichong.

The Huainan army was all red-faced and red-eared, and they returned with their faces hidden. Wang Xingben listened harshly, and couldn't help clenching his fists. Yang Gongqing persuaded: "King Jing, it is a common thing for soldiers to want to win or lose. Even if Li Mi and Dou Jiande are deflated under Xiao Buyi, we will lose the battle......"

He still wanted to persuade again, but when he saw Wang Xingben's eyes that were almost burning, he finally swallowed the words that followed.

Victory and defeat are indeed common things in soldiers, but their common thing is defeat, and they never win.

The Huainan army retreated, but it paid attention to the movement of Yongfu City, but except for the sound of singing and laughter, there was no large army to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Wang Xingben secretly gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. Everyone evacuated for more than ten miles, and joined the Huainan army in ambush there, and they didn't know what to do next for a while.

Yang Gongqing suggested: "King Jing, Xiao Buyi has taken down the two cities of [***] and Yongfu, I am only afraid that he will take Xuyi next!" Or Gaoyou! ”

Wang Xingben was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "That's very likely." ”

Jiangdu County is very large, with as many as 16 counties under its jurisdiction, and there are several county towns closest to Jiangdu County. They are [***], Yongfu, Xuyi, Gaoyou and Hailing.

These county seats, forming a semi-circular shape, shield Yangzhou City from west to north and from north to east.

However, the terrain of Jiangdu is not concise, and it is backed by the Yangtze River, which cannot resist the impact of the enemy in the north to the south. Yang Guangzhen did his best, but he only developed Jiangdu into a transportation artery, but in terms of defense, he did not spend too much effort.

At the beginning, Du Fuwei once seized Gaoyou and coerced Jiangdu, but fortunately, the bandits still did not pose much threat to the regular army. Yang Guang still has the ability to mobilize elite soldiers and generals, and he can also drive Du Fuwei out of Gaoyou again.

But now the situation is very different! Wang Shichong is a chaotic minister and thief at the moment, except for the scholars here to support him, he can be said to have no foreign aid. Xiao Buyi's speed was so violent, but the intention was gradually obvious.

Xiao Buyi was not in a hurry to attack Yangzhou, but seized the county seat outside Yangzhou as quickly as possible. From west to east, he had already occupied [***] and Yongfu, and if he took Xuyi and Gaoyou, there is no doubt that they not only formally formed a siege of Yangzhou, but also severed the connection between Jiangdu and the rest of the county.

If Yangzhou City is only a lonely city, there is no food and grass in it, and there are no rescuers outside, it will be a matter of time before it is defeated.

Thinking of this, Wang Xingben's face was extremely ugly, and he hesitated for a while. Should he go back to Yangzhou first to ask Wang Shichong how to decide, or rush to Xuyi or Gaoyou for assistance?

Xuyi is in the northwest of Yongfu, while Gaoyou is in the northeast of Yongfu. If you want to go to Xuyi, you probably can't avoid Xiao Buyi's ears and eyes, and if you go to Gaoyou, you have to pass through a big lake.

Recently, Xiao Buyi is haunted, the offensive is like a tide, taking the city is as simple as taking radish and cabbage, yesterday it was still under the control of Wang Shichong, and today it may fall into Xiao Buyi's hands.

Then Ming, will these cities be under Xiao Buyi's attack? If he goes to help, if he is the same as today, and is ridiculed and ridiculed by Xiao Buyi, what will happen?

Wang Xingben finally understood Yang Gongqing's mood at this moment. Xiao Buyi's blow was obviously an all-round, three-dimensional blow. He not only strikes at the strength of his opponents, but also ruthlessly destroys the hearts and minds of his opponents. It's not terrible to lose to Xiao Buyi, it's terrible because Xiao Buyi has no heart to resist.

After thinking about it, Wang Xingben finally asked, "General Yang, in your opinion, what should we do?" ”

After all, Yang Gongqing was more mature and sophisticated, and said in a deep voice: "According to my opinion, we should find a place to settle down first." Then send spies out to inquire about Xuyi and Gaoyou's movements...... "Although I think that unless Xiao Buyi can fly, or he will be able to demonize, it is impossible to take down those two cities quickly, but when Yang Gongqing said it, he was still worried in his heart."

Wang Xingben did not object, and nodded again and again: "General Yang is right, we should indeed check the movement first before making a decision." "He didn't value Yang Gongqing originally, after all, the general of the defeated army, how can he be brave? But since he was also defeated, it can be said that he is a difficult brother, but he has a sense of closeness.

Yang Gongqing saw that Wang Xingben accepted his proposal, and his spirits perked, "The most important thing at the moment is to tell the Holy ...... what happened here" Seeing Wang Xingben's very unnatural expression, Yang Gongqing comforted: "King Jing don't worry, the responsibility for losing the city is not you and me." What's more, you and I are going to rescue, not to siege the city, how can we take the city back without siege equipment? We are not in a hurry to return to Jiangdu, because the Holy Lord may let us rescue other cities, so as not to run back and forth and the soldiers will not be tired. Even if the Holy One is not ready to let us send troops again, it is not at fault that we will return again. ”

Wang Xingben accepted the proposal and hesitated: "Then where are we going to set up camp?" Will Xiao Buyi send troops to attack us like [***] Mountain? ”

Yang Gongqing blushed a little, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's likely to." If it had been an attack, we would have already sent troops to attack us. But he was still not sure, Yang Gongqing said: "We can ambush spies near Yongfu City to monitor Xiao Buyi's every move, if he sends troops, we will definitely know the news in advance." ”

Wang Xingben nodded and silently headed south.

Yang Gongqing had already instructed the soldiers to monitor the movements of Yongfu City, and when he felt that Xiao Buyi would not be discovered by them unless he turned into an ant, he headed south. The crowd traveled dozens of miles to the southwest, and when it was nearly dusk, they approached a mountain range.

This mountain is called Guafeng Mountain, and it is distributed in a triangle with Yangzhou and Gaoyou.

Yang Gongqing chose to camp here, because he wanted to rush to the rescue of Gaoyou as soon as possible after receiving Wang Shichong's order. Although they are considered to be generals, after all, they must obey Wang Shichong's orders and use troops without authorization, which may lead to Wang Shichong's suspicion, and Yang Gongqing can't do it.

Wang Xing was about to camp in the north of Shandong, and Yang Gongqing said: "King Jing, I think it's better to camp in Shandong." ”

"Why?" Wang Xingben frowned and said: "We are camping here by the mountain, if Xiao Buyi can really attack, we can also fight against the mountain." ”

Yang Gongqing said: "King Jing, the method of going down to camp is also very knowledgeable. But the most important point is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, relying on the mountain is not wrong, you can defend against danger, but in the north of this mountain, there is no water source. ”

Wang Xingben understood, "So we need to find a place with a water source to go to the village?" ”

Yang Gongqing said patiently: "That's true, I know the topography here, on the west side of Guafeng Mountain, there is a small stream passing by, where the terrain is concise, you can go down to the village." We wait for food and water to be exhausted, even if Xiao Buyi attacks the camp, in a hurry, we will have to pay a heavy price. ”

Wang Xingben said tiredly: "That's good, just follow your words." ”

It was getting late, and it was falling on the West Mountain, Wang Xingben frowned and said: "If you detour to the east side of the mountain, it is estimated that it will be very late." ”

Yang Gongqing said: "The last general knows that there is a shortcut to Shandong, which can be reached in half an hour." ”

Wang Xingben said impatiently: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go." ”

Yang Gongqing immediately ordered everyone to walk through the mountains and rush to Guafeng Shandong. As soon as the Huainan army fought for a while, it can be said that the water and rice have not entered, and they are all exhausted. But both King Jing and General Yang seemed to be filled with anger, and no one dared to suggest burying the pot for cooking.

When they heard that they were going to camp on the other side of the mountain, everyone was in good spirits. Everyone hurriedly walked, the terrain gradually became rugged, Yang Gongqing and Wang Xingben were both frustrated people, looking at the day had disappeared, and the night was about to fall, and they suddenly had a sense of melancholy in their hearts.

Due to the limited terrain, the Huainan army has no longer formed a formation, and the two of them are in charge of the Chinese army, which has distanced themselves from the former army.

Looking around, a chill suddenly rose in his heart, and Yang Gongqing remembered the ambush in the valley for some reason. But some doubt that they are suspicious, Xiao Buyi has long been left behind by them, and Yongfu City is under their surveillance, if there is an ambush by a large army, how can those spies not come to report?

was afraid that Wang Xingben would be displeased and said that he was timid, so Yang Gongqing had no choice but to suppress his suspicions.

Everyone walked forward for a while, Yang Gongqing looked at the mountains on both sides, only to see the pine and cypress, lush green, weeds and brown stones, all over the rugged, I don't know why, the palms of his hands were full of cold sweat.

Suddenly, in a forest on the hillside ahead, the birds were startled, and Yang Gongqing exclaimed: "There is an ambush." ”

He drank suddenly, and Wang Xingben almost fell off his horse. With Yang Gongqing's shout, on the mountains on both sides, there was a sudden rumbling sound.

When Yang Gongqing heard the sound, it was almost exactly the same as when he was in the valley, and he couldn't help but stiffen his neck. Turning his head to look at the slopes on both sides, he saw a big stone rolling down the slope of the mountain, rolling faster and faster, thrilling.

Yang Gongqing's body stiffened for a moment, and he was shocked for a moment, turned his horse's head, and said urgently: "King Jing, come with me." ”

He urged the horse to go, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was somewhat strange. The boulder fell, and there was a loud 'boom', and Yang Gongqing almost wanted to vomit blood.

The past repeats itself, so he can't help but be in a hurry.

But what he couldn't understand was why Xiao Buyi sent troops, but there was no news from the spies, could Xiao Buyi really become an ant?

After the loud noise, the aftermath was endless, but the Huainan army stood there dumbfounded, looking at Yang Gongqing.

Yang Gongqing's head was sweating, knowing that at this time, the army was panicked, and he said that he would protect King Jing. Seeing that Wang Xingben didn't move, Yang Gongqing hurriedly said: "King Jing ......"

"General Yang, what are you doing?" Wang Xingben was a little displeased.

Yang Gongqing suddenly felt that there was some silence around him, and this place should not be so quiet. Yang Gongqing still remembers the events in the valley that day, and sometimes wakes up in a dream at night, and feels that big stones have fallen down.

With so many stones falling, how can it be so quiet?

Yang Gongqing turned his head to look over, only to see a big stone falling on the mountain road, and on the mountains on both sides, there was no sound. Yang Gongqing was stunned, somewhat embarrassed, and Wang Xingben finally sighed: "General Yang, I think you are too nervous." The three armies are under your control, and you, as the main general, are so panicked......"

The corners of Yang Gongqing's mouth twitched, and he said after a while: "Why did the boulder fall for no reason, and why are there frightened birds in the forest?" Probably there will be an ambush, right? King Jing, be careful. ”

Wang Xingben laughed and shook his head: "Maybe a wild beast hit a boulder, or a hunter alarmed the birds." General Yang, you have been too cautious. ”

"It's better for someone to take a look." Yang Gongqing groaned.

Wang Xingben shook his head and said, "General Yang, the soldiers are tired, why do we always make them anxious about these little things?" The most important thing you need now is to hurry to the camp with your troops. Xiao Buyi is not a god and can't fly, how can he ambush here without us noticing? Besides, if he really ambushes here, I will lose my heart. ”

Wang Xingben's tone was a little stern, and Yang Gongqing had to obey and order the Chinese army to continue to move forward, but within half a mile, he heard a rumbling sound again.

The soldier stopped, Wang Xingben also felt a little abnormal, looked up, and his face changed greatly. The slopes on both sides rolled down the boulders again, but this time, it was not one, but dozens of boulders rolled down at the same time, and the momentum was overwhelming!

Wang Xingben was stunned at first, and then frightened, and the Huainan army couldn't help but scratch and scream! They can resist danger and obstacles, and they can even fight with Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but how can they deal with these lifeless boulders?

Yang Gongqing's face was pale and sweating profusely.

It's still the same method, Xiao Buyi and they actually used it twice! And he, Yang Gongqing, seems to have planted the same problem twice.

He can't be blamed for this, just because few people could have imagined that the ambush range of the Western Liang army would be so far. But how did they break through the surveillance of the spies and come here, Yang Gongqing couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it.

The speed of the rolling stone is extremely fast, and it has rushed to the mountain road in an instant, the Huainan army has nowhere to dodge, some people have already been hit by the boulder, flying far away, and some have been crushed on the road by the boulder, and the flesh and blood are flying!

"The rear army becomes the front army, withdraw from here immediately!" Yang Gongqing shouted.

Wang Xingben somewhat disagreed, because in his opinion, how could it be difficult for so many Jianghuai troops to stump so many Jianghuai troops, and Yang Gongqing fled in panic, which really made no sense. The best way to do this is to sit back and catch the enemy on the slopes on both sides of the hill and plan the march again.

Wang Xing originally wanted to be the head, but the big stone rolled down, causing Yang Gongqing's panic, and Yang Gongqing's panic caused the Huainan army to be uneasy, and the Huainan army was already in chaos.

It is hard to imagine that the well-fought Huainan army would be defeated by the rocks on the mountain.

But the army is defeated, and panic spreads like a plague, and it is extremely difficult to contain.

When Wang Xing was thinking about what to do, because the boulder was far away from him, because the boulder hit someone else's body, he didn't feel pain.

Many times, bystanders are always unusually awake and calm.

But when he was still dissatisfied, he had been overwhelmed by the chaotic army, and Wang Xingben was furious, so he ordered the sword and axe hand to press the formation and cut down the sergeants who caused the chaos. Suddenly, a small stone rolled down and rolled in front of Wang Xingben.

Wang Xingben's heart trembled, turned his head to look over, only to see a big stone on the hillside, which seemed to be impossible to be pushed, shook twice, and then rolled down gracefully.

The weight of a thousand pounds of boulder seems to be indescribable, and after rolling out of a certain distance, the tremor caused by it is almost like a mountain is about to fall.

Wang Xingben was shocked, so shocked that he could barely move, and was shocked to see the boulder rolling down, as if in a dream. He was in the game, and only later did he know that although he was the king of Jing, his reaction to distress was worse than that of a chaotic soldier.

He's gone.

The boulder rolled down with earth-shattering might, and a big tree with the thickness of a bowl mouth was hit by it, and it was broken at the waist. Wang Xingben's mouth opened twice, and then he remembered to run, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the horse fell to his knees.

Seeing that Dashi was about to slap him into meat sauce, a person rushed out diagonally, grabbed Wang Xingben, and rolled to the side with force.

Immediately after that, there was an earth-shattering sound, Wang Xingben's horse had been slapped into meat sauce by the boulder, and the bones were impossible to find.

Wang Xingben only felt that the wind cut his face, and his frightened soul was scattered, and when he came to his senses, he found that it was Yang Gongqing who saved him.

Words of gratitude could not be said, but Yang Gongqing had already taken him to turn over and get on the horse, and quickly ran back the same way, everyone panicked, out of the valley, and before they could settle down, they heard the horse's hooves suddenly, and a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance, as many as a thousand people, roaring towards this side like a wolf and a tiger.

When they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they saw the dust and smoke reaching into the sky; When they saw the dust and smoke rising, they felt that the wind was blowing; Only then did they feel that the wind was like a knife, and they found that the long arrows were like rain, and they shot at them with their heads and faces.

That cavalry was more cruel than wolves, fiercer than tigers, like dragons of the nine heavens, galloping forward!

Wang Xingben was dumbfounded again, he had never seen such a brave, so fast, and so sharp cavalry. Where is this cavalry, and how can it be so powerful?

But in an instant, he realized that this was what he had always wanted to see, the world-famous ironclad cavalry.

The Huainan army did not wait for a foothold, and it was chaotic again.

The cavalry galloped, and with one charge, the Huainan army was torn apart, and there was no room to fight back. Yang Gongqing could no longer care about King Jing and fled back to the valley. The general led by the iron cavalry slaughtered in front of Wang Xingben like a bamboo, and as soon as he raised his gun, he had already stabbed to death the two guards who were helping. reversed the barrel of the gun, and Wang Xingben was knocked off the horse.

The mixed iron spear stabbed out and pressed it to Wang Xingben's throat, and the general said lightly: "I heard, you really want to see the ironclad cavalry of the King of Xiliang?" ”
