Chapter 321 Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice
Shi Siming was in a good mood these two times, and since he made a bet with Yang Ping'an, he had a sense of raising his eyebrows.
Although he looked down on Yang Ping'an, a guy who relied on his face to eat and mix with a horse, and was also angry with the other party and humiliated himself several times, he still had to admit that Yang Ping'an was not easy to mess with, especially the terrible secret weapon in his hand.
He pretended to be a grandson in Yangzhou for so long, just to wait for the opportunity, and when the Tang and Zhou wars broke out, he knew that his opportunity was about to come.
The sentinel outside the city reported that the two Zhou troops came to invade Yangzhou, and he smiled, quite a kind of refreshing to see the bright moon through the dark clouds.
The two armies are fighting, and no matter how powerful the secret weapon is, it will not help, not to mention that there are masters around him to help him now.
This master is not Li Linfu, for him, this smiling tiger can only be regarded as a dog, not only is it being raised by the Taishi Mansion, but he is also raising it now, and what he values is Li Linfu's understanding of Yang Ping'an.
The real master's surname is Xiao, called Xiao Dingmou, is Xiao Taishi's cousin, Xiao Teng's cousin, Xiao Dingmou came to Yangzhou two months ago, that is, he was asked by Xiao Teng, the son of Taishi, in order to kill Yang Ping'an.
Xiao Ding's conspiracy is as his name suggests, although he is born thin and has no power to restrain the chicken, but he is known to have a million soldiers in his chest, and he is proficient in Wentao and martial arts, and Xiao Taishi is also quite important.
This time, he was sent to Shi Siming's army by Taishi Xiao, just to train him, and then gain a firm foothold in the army.
The arrival of Xiao Dingmou gave Shi Siming great help, at least he thought that he could have such a good opportunity to eradicate Yang Ping'an now, and it was because of Xiao Dingmou's strategy.
Show weakness to dispel his vigilance, and anger to provoke his ambition, as long as Yang Ping'an leads a group of peasant soldiers to leave Yangzhou, it will be the moment of death.
After leaving Yangzhou, Shi Siming and Xiao Dingmou led the troops around, and soon rushed to Changfeng Valley, Li Linfu had already found out that Xu Yuan and Xue Yufeng's idea for Yang Ping'an was to resist the Zhou army in Changfeng Valley.
This is indeed a good place, taking advantage of the terrain, forcing the Zhou army to not give full play to the advantage of troops, but there are also drawbacks, that is, once the rear is attacked, there is no way to escape, only to give the head and capture.
"General, there are signs of soldiers and horses stationed outside Changfeng Valley, and they are heavily guarded, and their subordinates dare not approach for fear of startling the grass, so they have not been able to detect the enemy."
This was the reward of last night's outpost, which made Shi Siming very excited, so Xiao Dingmou frowned and pondered for a moment, and then glanced at Li Linfu meaningfully.
Several people believed that the soldiers and horses stationed outside Changfeng Valley were Yang Ping'an's peasant soldiers, but Yang Ping'an actually sent a lookout post in the rear and was heavily guarded, which could not but be surprising.
Xiao Moumou suspected Li Linfu of being two-faced and stabbed at the first time.
Fortunately, Li Linfu had won Shi Siming's trust, and under the latter's explanation, Xiao plotted to temporarily let Li Linfu go, and then the army rushed overnight, wanting to attack Yang Ping'an's camp from the rear at dawn, and combine with the Zhou army inside and outside the valley to kill Yang Ping'an.
As for the army under Yang Ping'an...... Those are all Yang Ping'an's private soldiers, and they may have merit in killing them.
As soon as he thought of Yang Ping'an's humiliation of himself, Shi Siming was angry in his heart, thinking that he would be able to get revenge today, and he couldn't wait to get his wings and rush to Changfeng Valley as soon as possible.
Under his non-stop leadership, his 30,000 soldiers and horses rushed to the outside of Changfeng Valley at dawn, but after seeing the banner of the military camp on the opposite side, not to mention Shi Siming, even Xiao Dingmou, a scholar, couldn't help but scold.
Because in the military camp opposite, the banner of the Zhou army fluttered impressively.
"Damn, Yang Ping'an, this bastard, actually ran away without a fight."
"It's just Sven sweeping the floor, Sven scum, Sven beast, it was he who proposed to gamble first, and he actually led people to escape back to the city first."
The two hearts of Shi Siming and Xiao Dingmou, wow cool wow cool, the former's worry is that his soldiers and horses have been running all night, while the Zhou army on the opposite side is recuperating, and this encounter is only afraid of winning less and losing more.
The latter was one step more worried than the former, and Xiao was worried that once Shi Siming's troops were bitten by the Zhou army's Kou Xiong department, and the Zhou army's Ning Zhen Mo department came from the east side, then they would fall into the enemy's back.
Looking at the formation of the Zhou army on the opposite side, the two of them were worried, this is Li Linfu came to the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Whether to fight or withdraw, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”
"Can you still withdraw now?" Shi Siming glared at Li Linfu fiercely.
The current form can never be withdrawn, although they have no intention of fighting with Kou Xiong's department, but Kou Xiong doesn't know, Kou Xiong is here to invade Yangzhou this time, and when he encounters their Yangzhou soldiers and horses, how can he let them go.
If they dared to turn around and retreat, Kou Xiong would definitely lead his troops in pursuit, but he was afraid that it would be like a mountain, and he didn't know how many men and horses would be damaged.
Xiao Dingmou stared at Li Linfu and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Lord Xiao, the villain is worried, then Yang Ping'an would have fled back to the city a long time ago......"
Li Linfu was very good at talking, and he only said half of it, although Shi Siming didn't understand, but Xiao Dingmou's face turned pale in an instant, and he understood.
If Yang Ping'an had fled back to Yangzhou, and the city gate would be blocked at that time, and no one would be allowed to enter the city, then they would have to face the encirclement and suppression of the two Zhou armies, and there would be no way out.
"Yang Ping'an should be killed."
Xiao Dingmou gritted his teeth, which was originally a killing game against Yang Ping'an, but it actually evolved into a knife killing of the prey, which made Xiao Dingmou, who thought of himself quite highly, how could he swallow this breath.
"Xiao Gongzi, then Yang Ping'an shouldn't dare." Shi Siming still had illusions, but Xiao's words completely dashed his hopes: "Don't dare, what doesn't he dare, do you know, he doesn't even put the saint in his eyes, and in the eyes of the saint, he still has use value, and he won't kill him easily, otherwise why do you think he raised more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, why wouldn't the saint blame, he offended the Taishi several times, why did the Taishi temporarily let him go." ”
"Shhh...... Childe, where did Yang Ping'an come from? ”
"Kill."
Under the order of Kou Xiong, the general of the Zhou army, tens of thousands of Zhou troops surged to kill, and the Tang army, which was sleepy and lacking horses, and Shi Siming, who had long lost his will to fight, was unable to resist the fierce Zhou army.
Kou Xiong had already seen that the Tang army in front of him was exhausted, and he thought that the Tang army was marching slowly, and he was unable to occupy the outside of Changfeng Valley as soon as possible.
One day, just one day, if this group of Tang troops occupied this place one day earlier, I am afraid that I will not be able to rush out of the valley so easily.
Hehe, this is war, the fighter plane is fleeting, since you can't grasp it, then you have to bear the price.
Kou Xiong ordered people to beat the drums, and he rode his horse and stood looking ahead, looking at the elite of his subordinates separating and harvesting the Tang army opposite, his heart was happy, but he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.
The Tang army is just like this, even such a heavy place can come late, it seems that Yangzhou is not difficult to attack.
Shi Siming, who was crazy, had already killed his red eyes, shouting loudly to command his soldiers and horses to resist the Zhou army, and had long forgotten to escape.
Xiao Dingmou and Li Linfu were both powerless literati, fighting and retreating under the protection of thousands of elite soldiers, nervously watching their surroundings.
"Someone, go and inform your general, come to me quickly."
Xiao Ding's plan is very clear, he must not fight like this again, this battle will be lost, and what he has to do now is to keep as many soldiers as possible in addition to saving his surname.
Shi Siming, a martial artist, will not turn his head after killing red eyes, but he is different, he is a wise general, and the goal he set for himself is Zhuge Kongming, who is known as Wolong.
"Childe, if you ask General Shi to come back, you are thinking about retreating."
"Hmm......" Xiao Dingmou looked at Li Linfu strangely, "What do you think?" ”
Since Xiao Dingmou came to Shi Siming's army, Li Linfu has been very discerning and well-behaved, in addition to touting and flattering in front of Xiao Dingmou, he has always listened more and talked less, and raised the other party very high.
But now his opportunity to perform has come: "Childe, please forgive the villain's offense, the villain thinks that Yangzhou is not feasible, in case Yang Ping'an retreats to Yangzhou first, with his relationship with Lord Xu and General Xue, I am afraid that Yangzhou City will be the place where we will be buried." ”
"Without further ado, what are your plans?"
"Yes, the villain thinks that we should retreat to Tianchang County."
Tianchang, Xiao Ding's strategy understood after thinking about it, Tianchang was garrisoned by the Tang army, and if they retreated there, Kou Xiong would never chase after him, unless Kou Xiong did not plan to attack Yangzhou.
"Looks like I'm really underestimating you." Xiao Dingmou looked at Li Linfu appreciatively, and slapped him twice on the shoulder, "No wonder my uncle chose you to spy on Yang Ping'an, but I was abrupt, yes, retreating to Tianchang is a wonderful move, after getting rid of the Zhou army, he can attack and defend, and he can also sue Yang Ping'an for the crime of fleeing in battle."
If you have any thoughts in the future, just tell me, when you kill Yang Ping'an in the future, I will give you a fame. ”
"Thank you, Childe."
Shi Siming quickly withdrew from the fight, because he thought of Xiao Moumou, even if all the 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command were wiped out in this battle, as long as Xiao Moumou did not die, Xiao Taishi would keep him safe, but in other words, if Xiao Moumou was killed and 30,000 soldiers and horses were unharmed, then he would only have one way to think in the face of Xiao Taishi's anger.
After all, Taishi Xiao's righteous son died because of his poor protection.
Xiao plotted to unceremoniously take Li Linfu's plan for his own use, and directly ordered Shi Siming to protect them and retreat to Tianchang County.
Through his pointing, Shi Siming also understood, and immediately ordered some soldiers and horses to be broken, and he led the remnants of the army to escort Xiao Dingmou to quickly retreat towards the realm of Tianchang County.
Kou Xiong's goal was the prosperous and wealthy Yangzhou City, and the small Tianchang County was not in his eyes at all, so he immediately ordered the whole army not to chase after him, but only annihilated all the troops after the Tang army was cut off.
Shi Siming escaped forty miles away from Changfeng Valley before he stopped, and after ordering the whole army, he learned that there were less than 20,000 soldiers and horses who fled to Tianchang County with him, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood: "Yang Ping'an, Lao Tzu will not kill you, and you will not be a man." ”
"Ahh Yang Ping'an, who was riding his horse on a mountain road, sneezed and muttered, "Who is talking bad about me behind my back?"
He rubbed his nose, grinned, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, hurry up, rush to [***] city before dark, take down [***], and the whole army will eat meat." ”
