The 8,000 men and horses led by Li Yi, except for the 2,000 pioneers who passed through Guò and Luofengpo one step earlier, the remaining 6,000 men and horses were shot and killed by Zhuge Qi's Wudang Fei Army.

The soldiers who approached the south side of the ambush circle fled south regardless of a single qiē and joined the 2,000 men and horses in the lead, while the soldiers at the back of the line fled backwards along the road from which they had come.

In the ambush circle, more than 2,000 soldiers lay down, all of whom were shot by the arrows of the Wudang Flying Army, most of them died directly, and a few soldiers were seriously injured and could not move, so they were forced to stay in place.

"Camp master, look, Li Yi is lying on the ground and not moving, is he dead?" A pro-soldier pointed to the motionless corpse lying on the ground in gold armor and said loudly.

Zhuge Qi observed carefully for a moment, nodded, and ordered: "Pro-soldiers, follow me down to check." After speaking, he took the pro-soldier team, took a hidden path, and ran down the cliff.

At this time, except for the Shu army who were killed in battle and seriously wounded, the rest of the men and horses all fled the Luofengpo area, so Zhuge Qi and his personal army arrived at the location of the golden armor without much effort.

Zhuge Qi stared at it and found the corpse wearing gold armor at his feet, lying face down on the ground motionless, with several short arrows stuck in his body.

Whether this person was Li Yi or not, he was not very sure, so he asked a personal soldier to turn the corpse over.

When the soldier heard the order, he immediately turned over the corpse wearing gold armor and wiped the blood from the corpse's face.

"It's not Li Yi, the camp owner, he's not Li Yi." Zhuge Qi's pro-soldier beside him. Hurriedly said.

Zhuge Qi nodded and said, "Li Yi must have pretended to be a soldier and escaped, this traitor, hateful failed to shoot him." ”

"Battalion master, what to do next, the enemy army will definitely come back." Zhuge Qi's deputy said softly.

Zhuge Qi looked at the steep cliffs on both sides of the path and said loudly: "What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." As long as our troops hold the commanding heights on both sides of the path. The enemy will not be able to pass through this road. ”

"Yes, the battalion master is right, then he will go back and deploy now." The deputy said, following the hidden path. Go halfway up the mountain.

Zhuge Qi carefully walked around the golden armor for a while. After confirming that there was no Li Yi's body. He returned to the halfway point of the mountain with his personal army and began to organize preparations for war.

At the fork in the road leading to the east and west gates of the city, the Northern Expeditionary Army had already set up camp. Hua An, Wang San, and Thunderstorm were patrolling the camp, and looked at the scenery outside the camp from time to time.

Hua An looked at the towering mountain peak due south and said loudly, "What a good place to be!" The north gate is directly blocked by a mountain, and the south gate leads directly to Chengdu, not connected to the east and west gates, only the east gate and the west gate need to be defended, which makes the defense less than half of the pressure! ”

"Yes! Big brother, the east gate and the west gate are dozens of miles apart, and it is difficult for each other to reinforce each other, which gives the side defending the city an advantage! Wang San said with emotion.

"Hmph, no matter how the Shu army has the advantage, it will not be a problem for our army to break through the city, isn't it! Eldest brother. Thunderstorm said confidently.

Hua An lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said softly: "According to the scout's investigation, there were originally only 1,000 defenders in the city, and now, 3,000 elites have been reinforced. ”

"Big brother, don't worry too much, our army has two large armies on the left and right, and the strength of the two roads is eight thousand, and the total strength of the two roads is four times that of the defenders of Yucheng, besides, there are five thousand cavalry from the pro-military battalion and thunderstorm who can support the front at any time." Wang San said softly.

"Big brother, the total strength of our army is five or six times that of the Shu army, I'm afraid that before the battle, the Shu army will raise the white flag and surrender, haha!" Thunderstorm said jokingly.

Hua An smiled, pointed to the thunderstorm, and said, "That's the best, I hope things are as you say." After speaking, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Yuanmen.

"Hey, Iron Bull sent a dozen cavalrymen back, there must be something important." As soon as Hua An saw a large number of cavalry running in the direction of the eastern road, he guessed that it was sent by Tie Niu, because the scouts were all acting alone.

"Big brother, the cavalry in the middle seems to be the cavalry of the Shu army! Look at the outfit. Wang San's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that among the dozen or so cavalrymen, there was a cavalry of the Shu army.

When Hua An heard this, he took a closer look and saw that it was really the cavalry of the Shu army, so he said softly: "Let's go over and have a look." As he spoke, he walked in the direction of Yuanmen.

Soon, a group of people arrived outside the Yuanmen of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and saw Hua'an personally greet them to Yuanmen, and the cavalry of the Shu Army and ten Tie Niu soldiers dismounted to meet Hua'an.

Hua An glanced at a few people, and hurriedly asked what was going on, and the cavalry of the Shu army told the ins and outs of the matter in 1510, and presented Li Fu's handwritten letter with both hands.

Seeing Li Fu personally write a letter to himself, Hua An's head swelled with a trace of joy, he hurriedly took the letter, and couldn't wait to open it to watch.

"Okay, great, haha!" Reading the entire letter, Hua An smiled happily.

"Big brother, what good news." Seeing Hua An laughing, Thunderstorm and Wang San hurriedly asked.

Hua An handed the letter into the hands of the two and said softly, "Take a look at it for yourself!" Ha ha! He couldn't help but laugh again.

"Big brother, I really got right, the Shu army really took the initiative to surrender, hahaha!" Thunderstorm read the letter and laughed along.

Wang San was also excited, paused, and said loudly: "Big brother, it seems that we are going to pull out the camp, tonight, our army should camp in Luocheng." ”

"Okay, give the order to go down, and the army will immediately pull out the camp and march along the main road to the city." Huaan gave a loud order.

"Big brother, don't worry! Leave it to me. Wang San took the order angrily, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly found a large number of Shu troops rushing from the direction of the road, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Big brother, look, Li Yi's soldiers and horses have all withdrawn, it seems to be a wolf!" Wang San was shocked and hurriedly reported the situation.

Hua An looked at the side and saw that the soldiers and horses led by Li Yi were indeed rushing from the direction of the path, and they were extremely wolf.

"Something's wrong, something must have happened." Hua An said to himself.

"Big brother, thousands of routs will rush the camp, do you want to stop them." Thunderstorm said loudly.

Hua An nodded and said, "Thunderstorm, you immediately lead two thousand cavalry to block the outside of the camp, and don't let these Shu troops get close, so as not to have an accident."

"Yes, big brother." Thunderstorm accepted the order and immediately led two thousand cavalry to block the perimeter of the camp and block the Shu army from descending into the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After the Shu army returned, there was no riot, but orderly followed the guidance of the thunderstorm and went to the designated location.

Hua An stepped forward, grabbed a Shu army soldier, and asked loudly: "What happened, why is it so wolf, and where is your general Li Yi." ”

"Back to General, our army encountered an ambush at Luofengpo, the army suffered heavy losses, and General Li's whereabouts are unknown." The creep replied truthfully.

"What, I encountered an ambush, Li Fu dared to play me." Hua An was furious, walked up to the henchmen sent by Li Fu, and reprimanded loudly: "You see, our army has been ambushed, isn't your master Li Fu going to submit to my Great Jin?" Is that how you are converted? ”

"General, the villain doesn't know, the villain doesn't know anything! Is there some misunderstanding in this? Li Fu's henchmen were suddenly confused.

Thunderstorm glared at Li Fu's henchmen and shouted: "Misunderstanding, our army was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, which is also called misunderstanding." ”

"Hmph, you ride back to tell Sù Li Fu, Ben will hate being tricked the most, let him wash his neck and prepare to be knifed! Get out! Hua An shouted a shout.

"Yes, General, the villain will get out of here at once." Li Fu's henchmen hurriedly turned around, ran towards the war horse when he came, turned over on the horse, and slammed the horse's belly and galloped in the direction of Luocheng.

Wang San looked at the unbearable Shu army and said softly: "Big brother, if it weren't for the fall of this soldier who delivered the letter, our army would have received a letter from Li Fu that he was willing to surrender. ”

Hua An was shocked when he heard this, and said suspiciously: "Yes! If Li Fu used a trick to surrender, he would definitely expect that our army would march from the main road with swagger, and he should set up an ambush on the main road! Why did you set up an ambush on the path?

"Big brother, could it be that Li Fu thinks that we can see through the deception plan, so we will send troops to sneak attack from the path, so we set up an ambush on the road in advance?" Thunderstorm whispered.

Hua An frowned and said, "It's not that this possibility is impossible, but Li Fu shouldn't have thought of it so much, maybe, there is really some misunderstanding in this." ”

"Big brother, what is the misunderstanding is the afterword, what to do now, General Li Yi's life and death are unknown, so many Shu troops are blocked here, our army has suffered such a big loss, we can't just forget it!" Thunderstorm said loudly.

Suffering such a big defeat, Hua An was naturally very annoyed, he looked at the thunderstorm, and ordered loudly: "Thunderstorm, you immediately lead two thousand cavalry to take the path into Luofengpo, you must find Li Yi, if possible, give me to destroy the Shu army ambush in Luofengpo." ”

"Big brother, don't worry! The Shu army will not surrender many troops, as long as we can find their hiding position, our cavalry will definitely be able to destroy them. Thunderstorm said confidently.

"Okay, thunderstorm, you see, it can be seen from the wounds of these soldiers that the archery skills of the Shu army ambush are very powerful, let the soldiers, each prepare a shield, you must be careful, you must not fall into the ambush of the Shu army again." Hua An looked at the thunderstorm and admonished.

"Yes, big brother, I'll go and prepare." Thunderstorm said and went to the camp to prepare.

Two moments later, Thunderstorm and his 2,000 cavalry were ready, and after a short assembly, they rode their horses along the path leading to the west gate of the city. (To be continued......)
