Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Tired Army's Plan
The earth-shattering shouts were like a thunderbolt suddenly falling from the sky under the scorching sun, and everything came so suddenly that it caught people off guard.
"Someone, armor!"
Lu Mian shouted, and the two maids immediately rushed into the house in a panic, took off the silver armor hanging next to the bed, and hurriedly helped Lu Mian put it on.
"Hmph, you Jinfan thief, I'm not going to beat you, you came to beat me first?" Lu Mian's expression was grim, "With only 15,000 soldiers and horses, you dare to attack Xiang'an City?" I really don't know whether to live or die! ”
After the armor was put on, Lu Mian pushed the maid away, and rushed out of the room with a big knife in his hand.
Lu ...... General Lu, did the Jinfan thief call him? As soon as Lu Mian walked out of the door of the room, he saw Huang Yi with a pale face coming up.
"There's Ben here, what's the panic!?" Lu Mian glared at the frightened Huang Yi viciously, and couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in his heart, Liu Xun sent this timid guy to be a prison soldier, and he was really fucking blind.
At this time, the soldiers and civilians of the entire Xiang'an City have been awakened by the noisy sound of gongs and drums, and the soldiers are disheveled, and they rush to the city in a panic, trying to resist the incoming Jinfan.
"What's going on?" It's just that when they arrived at the city wall, they found that there was no Jinfan soldier on it, but the dark outside the city was full of gongs and drums shouting and killing, as if there were thousands of troops.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them with arrows! ”
I don't know whose shout it was, and the archers on the city wall subconsciously raised their bows and arrows and shot them out of the city.
However, with the overwhelming rain of arrows hidden in the dark night, it did not cause a scream, but the effect was good, the other party seemed to be frightened, and immediately died down, and the outside of the city, which was extremely noisy a moment ago, became silent again in an instant, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.
"This ......" Faced with such a strange scene, the soldiers in the city couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't understand what was going on for a while.
Lu Mian looked out of the city with a gloomy expression, it was already so obvious, if he couldn't see that this was Jinfan's tired army, then what army else did he bring? It's better to just go home and pick up the child.
Lu Mian took a deep breath and roared in a deep voice: "Listen to me, the Jinfan thieves are afraid of us, so they will use such despicable means to affect our rest, everyone doesn't need to pay attention to it, they will all go back to me to recuperate, and when I go out of the city tomorrow to duel with Jinfan, I will definitely let them see how powerful my Lujiang army is!" ”
It's a pity that Lu Mian's encouragement didn't play much of a role, everyone was already very tired after a day's journey, and this time they thought it was an enemy attack to finally cheer up, so when they learned that the other party was just a feint, as soon as they relaxed, layers of tired tiredness hit like a tide, one by one sleepy-eyed, listless perfunctory, then scattered sparsely, and each returned to the tent.
Lu Mian sighed a little helplessly, the mental state of these soldiers made him very worried, and he didn't know how Liu Xun usually trained his troops, so he could be tired like this after such a short distance?
That's it, when you leave the city tomorrow, you should quickly compete with Jinfan, otherwise you will be harassed by the other party every day, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will only be for you, and Liu Xun's side, I'm afraid there is no way to explain.
Thinking about it, Lu Mian suddenly opened his mouth and yawned, muttering to himself: "Then again, why are you so tired?" It's weird! ”
Then he walked down the city and staggered back to the house.
An hour later, Lu Mian, who had just fallen asleep for a long time, was once again awakened by the loud shouting and killing sound outside the city, although he knew that the other party was just bluffing, but Lu Mian's heart still couldn't help but rise a wave of trouble, so noisy, how can people sleep?
Lu reluctantly suppressed the idea of going out of the city immediately to destroy this group of flies, thinking that as long as he survived tonight, he would definitely make these Jinfan thieves look good tomorrow.
But as Jin Fan came to harass him twice and three times, the pent-up anger in Lu Mian's heart finally broke out completely.
"Bastard, there's no end to it!?" Lu Mian rushed out of the door in a rage and shouted, "Come on, quickly gather people and horses, and follow me out of the city to destroy this noisy Jinfan thief!" ”
At this time, just after the ugly hour, Gan Ning was leading three thousand soldiers to hide outside the city to beat gongs and drums, looking at the heads of people on the opposite city wall, there was a sneer on the corner of Gan Ning's mouth.
Even if the other party knows that he is just feintting, but when the deafening shout of killing sounds, they will still subconsciously wake up from their sleep.
Gan Ning didn't expect to lure them out of the city, but he begged them not to sleep, and his goal had been achieved.
Click......
Just as Gan Ning was about to stop and wait for an hour to come again, he saw the city gate in front of him slowly open, and a general led a large number of men and horses to kill the generals.
"Hey, I can't help it!" Gan Ning was amused in his heart, and then deliberately shouted, 'panicking', "It's not good, the enemy army is out, evacuate quickly!" ”
Gan Ning's shout made Lu Mian clearly identify Jinfan's location in the dark, and shouted: "Chase!" ”
The two sides chased and fled, and soon moved away from Xiang'an City.
Because Gan Ning deliberately slowed down, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and vaguely, Lu Mian could already see that the other party was a few hundred steps away from him, which made Lu Mian's heart even more excited.
Almost, just a little!
Thundered!
But at this moment, bursts of sound like rolling thunder came from far and near, and even the ground shook violently.
"It's ...... Cavalry!? As a black torrent rushed out of the hillside, Lu Mian's pupils shrank, and his face changed greatly, "Not good!" It's the Jinfan Cavalry! It's a trick, it's ...... Retreat quickly, quickly withdraw to Xiang'an City!! ”
It's too late!
The Lujiang army had just turned its position at Lu Mian's signal, and the Jinfan cavalry had already killed in front of them, and the cone-shaped formation was like a sharp knife, fiercely penetrating the Lujiang army, breaking its waist into two.
Wang Shuangyi took the lead, with a strong air flow in his hand, constantly harvesting the lives of Lujiang's soldiers, and the hot blood sprayed on his face, making the killing intent in his eyes even stronger.
Lu Qiling's movements are much more elegant than Wang Shuang's, the gorgeous halberd method is dazzling, but it is like a deadly poppy, and clusters of bright blood flowers bloom, and the Lujiang soldiers don't even know how to parry, they have fallen under Lu Qiling's halberd one after another.
In an instant, the formation of the Lujiang army was in chaos, and as Gan Ning led the troops in the rear to kill back, the Lujiang soldiers who were attacked before and after were suddenly defeated.
The battle turned into a one-sided massacre, and the soldiers of Lujiang could no longer afford to resist at all, so they dropped their weapons or knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, or hugged their heads and ran away.
Lu Mian fled back to Xiang'an under the escort of his own guards in the night, and in less than an hour, less than 300 of the 5,000 soldiers and horses he brought with him when he left the city finally returned to Xiang'an.
A bloody fiasco!
"Bastard bastard bastard! Damn Jinfan thief, tomorrow, I will kill Wang Chong with my own hands, and I will be ashamed of Xue today!! Lu Mian's eyes were red, like an angry brown bear, and all the decorations in the room became the object of his venting.
Huang Yi sneered on the side, although he also hoped that he could defeat Jinfan, but he was still very happy to see a small defeat like this in front of him that could make Lu Mian deflated and innocuous and insignificant.
