Chapter 112: The Trap
(Thank you Nanxi for the tip, hehe.) )
Under the angry gaze of Liu Bei and others, Liu Feng retreated and swaggered into Yiyang City.
Liu Bei was really unhappy, he originally came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and was ready to teach Liu Feng a righteous and awe-inspiring lesson in front of the three armies, in order to redeem the adverse effects caused by Liu Feng's "Book of Righteous Annihilation", but what annoyed him was that he did not teach Liu Feng a lesson, but Liu Feng reprimanded him, and also damaged Guan Yu's eldest son.
Liu Bei, who returned to the big tent, was restless, and the anger in his heart was like magma in a volcano, blocking his whole body with impatience. That night, Liu Bei ordered Guan Ping's body to be returned to Guan Yu, who was still on the way south, and ordered him to speed up his march and quickly go south to avenge Guan Ping.
Liu Bei did not dare to attack the city immediately, and ordered the whole army to go north to the north of Yiyang City to rest for one night to regain morale in order to re-invigorate morale.
As soon as the next day dawned, Liu Bei ordered the whole army to feast, and four thousand soldiers and horses came to the north gate of Yiyang with siege equipment such as ladders and rushing vehicles.
Although Liu Bei is angry at the moment, the deep city government still keeps him calm, and he knows very well that this Liu Feng, who has revealed his "true face", his ability cannot be underestimated, so although he is determined to win, he is also mentally prepared to fight a tragic siege battle.
However, to Liu Feng's surprise, when his 4,000 army arrived in front of the city, the head of Yiyang City was already empty, and not only could not see the head of a soldier, but also could not even see a banner. What makes Liu Bei even more suspicious is that the north gate is wide open, and the suspension bridge has already been lowered, just like a scene of Yiyang welcoming you.
Seeing this, Liu Bei suddenly remembered what Liu Feng said at the end of the meeting yesterday, and gave up Yiyang in exchange for not owing him Liu Bei.
Could it be that stinky boy really did this?
Liu Bei is a veteran of the battle formation, what kind of military tricks and tricks have not been seen, he naturally will not easily believe Liu Feng, seeing the empty city gate, he guessed that this kid is very likely to set up an empty city to lure the enemy, if he rashly leads the army into the city, what if he is ambushed.
At the moment, Liu Bei did not dare to be careless, on the one hand, he ordered the whole army to be on standby, and on the other hand, he sent a team of soldiers and horses into the city to reconnoitre, half an hour later, the result of the reconnaissance surprised Liu Bei, the whole Yiyang is already an empty city, not only is there no shadow of Liu Feng's soldiers, but even all the people and residents are gone.
Liu Bei was still not at ease, and sent several teams of scouts in a row to expand the reconnaissance range from outside the city to outside the city, and finally, at noon, Liu Bei received a piece of information that could reassure him: a group of troops was found twenty miles west of Yiyang City, and the number of troops was about 1,000.
"What the hell is he thinking about this rebel......
Liu Bei didn't believe that this kind of thing that could only be done by Duke Wen of Jin could be done by this shameless rebel, but the fact in front of him was that Liu Feng did fulfill his promise and gave up Yiyang City.
In Liu Bei's view, Liu Feng's real intention of abandoning the city was either to retreat in fear, or to induce himself to pursue in order to take advantage of the opportunity to deceive. Judging from Liu Feng's performance yesterday that he did not leave a way back, Liu Bei prefers to believe that it is the latter.
Liu Bei was not carried away by anger, Liu Feng's head was determined to be obtained, and he was not in a hurry to kill him.
So Liu Bei ordered the soldiers and horses to be stationed in Yiyang, and divided the four key gates, and in order to prevent Liu Feng from taking advantage of his contempt and laxity, he reflexively killed back to Yiyang at night, Liu Bei especially strengthened the guard of each gate, and ordered the soldiers to sleep in clothes that night, so as to respond to emergencies at any time.
However, Liu Bei's various worries seemed to be a little redundant, and the information sent back by the scouts continued to show that Liu Feng and his 1,000 soldiers and horses were moving non-stop in the direction of Xiangshui, and there were no signs of anything abnormal.
It was late at night, and when he received the last information from the scout, confirming that Liu Feng's headquarters was forty miles away, Liu Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he could sleep peacefully tonight.
Lincheng Xiangdong, deep in the dense forest.
Three hundred pairs of ghostly eyes were staring fiercely at the city shrouded in the faint light, and the night had reached the third watch, and they had been lurking here all day.
Liu Feng glanced up at the dark sky, and there was a hideous sneer in his eyes, "The time has come, let's act." ”
In the darkness, three hundred soldiers rose up one after another, and the silent but very orderly fish walked out of the dense forest, and they followed Liu Feng and quietly moved behind a small hill two hundred steps away from the city.
"Do it!"
Liu Feng gave an order in a low voice, and the soldiers quickly moved, and quickly removed the camouflage between the hillsides, and a person tall, gloomy cave was presented in front of everyone.
"Success or failure depends on your brothers."
Liu Feng bowed his hand to the more than 200 people who dared to die, and in the night, although he couldn't see his expression clearly, his calm but sincere tone made every subordinate excited.
The two hundred soldiers returned the salute, and then went into the cave one by one, and before everyone entered, Liu Feng took the trouble to pat them on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
In a short time, all two hundred people entered the cave, and only one hundred people remained around Liu Feng. He turned over and got on his horse, glanced at Linxiang City again, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go to the West Gate." ”
Liu Feng said that he wanted to frustrate Liu Bei's spirit, and killing Guan Ping was not at all satisfying for him, he had to defeat Liu Bei, only in this way could he boost the morale of the resistance army that followed him in the second county.
A few days ago, when Liu Feng had just led his army to Yiyang, after looking at the terrain, he ordered his soldiers to dig this tunnel that could lead to the city. And yesterday, when he met in the city, the real purpose of the promise he gave Liu Bei to "retreat" was to blind Liu Bei's judgment and cover up tonight's actions.
But as Liu Feng expected, Liu Bei was quite cautious, and frequently sent scouts to reconnoiter his movements before entering the city. Fortunately, Liu Feng had expected that although the withdrawn soldiers and horses were only about 700 people, they only carried more banners, so that Liu Bei's scouts mistakenly thought that they were all the soldiers and horses of Liu Feng's army.
And Liu Feng himself, however, led these three hundred elites to hide in this unnoticeable dense forest in advance before withdrawing from Linxiang City last night. Liu Bei probably never dreamed that the "rebel" he hated was hiding under his nose.
Yiyang City is not big, not long after, Liu Fengren is already under the West Gate City, the light of the torches on the city can only shine to a range of dozens of steps, those soldiers on duty, at this moment, they can't imagine that in the depths of the darkness, a pair of murderous eyes, are eyeing them.
At this moment, those two hundred people should have quietly infiltrated Yiyang City. There are nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and these two hundred people are not heavenly soldiers, even if it is a surprise attack, it is not enough to defeat the city held by 5,000 people, and Liu Feng has no such intention at all.
After a cup of tea, there was a sudden twitch on the city, and Liu Feng, who was quietly watching the movement of the city in the dark, at this moment, a smug sneer quietly rose at the corner of his mouth.
