In this case, there was no better way than to evacuate immediately, and under Wang Wu's order, all the troops and horses under his command dispersed and retreated in the direction of Kangfu City.

And because many soldiers have been dispersed, for this reason, Wang Wu deliberately left a group of dozens of soldiers and horses, responsible for conveying the order to these scattered soldiers to withdraw to Kangfu City.

At the same time, because the defenders of Rencheng were only less than 1,000 people, even if they resisted with all their might, they would definitely not be able to hold Rencheng, so Wang Wu immediately sent a henchman to Rencheng, and asked the soldiers and horses in the city to immediately give up resistance, withdraw from the direction of the West Gate, and leave Rencheng to Yaoxiang's army.

Wang Wu and his army retreated in the direction of Kangfu City in the southwest, and the soldiers under Yao Xiang's command were busy attacking Rencheng, so they did not pursue the rout troops under Wang Wu's command, so that the soldiers and horses under Wang Wu's command retreated to the direction of Kangfu City very smoothly.

At the foot of Ren Cheng, Yao Xiang and his soldiers had already besieged the city, but looking at the quiet city, Yao Xiang fell into hesitation.

"Fifth brother, Ren Cheng is right in front of you, why don't you attack immediately?" Yao Chang looked at Yao Xiang and said loudly.

Yao Xiang thought for a while, looked at Yao Chang, and said: "Even if Wang Wu deploys all the main troops and horses in the water defense line, but in Rencheng, at least there should be a defensive army and horses!" Why is it that neither soldiers nor enemy flags can be seen on the walls? Isn't that weird. ”

Obviously, Yao Xiang was worried that there was an ambush in the city, and he was afraid that reinforcements from Yanzhou had arrived in Rencheng, and he had set up a heavy ambush in the city.

"Fifth brother, in my opinion, the defenders in the city have fled a long time ago, so naturally they can't see anything." Yao Chang Zhengse said.

Yao Xiang thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "What you said is also possible." But if there is a heavy ambush in the city, and our army rushes in, will we not suffer heavy losses? ”

"Fifth brother, no, there are only so many soldiers and horses under Wang Wu's command, now. All of them have been defeated by our army, and the reason why Rencheng has no soldiers and horses to defend it must be because the defenders in the city learned that the main force of our army was killing and fled in fright. Yao Chang said affirmatively.

Yao Xiang smiled and said: "No matter whether the defenders in the city are scared away, or there is an ambush in the city, our army can't take it lightly, or send hundreds of soldiers first." Enter the city to investigate, and then the main army will enter the city again. ”

Obviously, Yao Xiang is still willing to take a more prudent approach, after all, once there is an enemy ambush in the city, he will definitely suffer huge losses if he breaks in so rashly.

Yao Chang nodded. Immediately ordered the 300 cavalry under his command to rush towards the east gate of Rencheng.

Yao Xiang and Yao Chang stood at the place of a stone's throw outside the city gate, staring at the three hundred cavalry. And to see if they will suffer from enemy ambushes.

The three hundred cavalry soon rushed to the bottom of the east gate, and along the way, they did not encounter any attacks, and they easily pushed open the gate in the hole of the east gate.

After pushing open the city gates, the three hundred cavalry men divided into multiple routes. They ran in all directions of Rencheng, and among them, they left a group of men and horses and climbed the gate tower and city wall of the east gate.

Seeing that the cavalry under his command was not attacked, and he climbed the gate tower at the east gate of Rencheng. Yao Chang said reassuringly: "Fifth brother, you see, our soldiers and horses have climbed the gate tower of Rencheng smoothly, so it is enough to show that the defenders of Rencheng have all fled, and our army can enter Rencheng boldly with confidence." ”

When Yao Xiang heard this, he thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry, it's better to wait for all the three hundred cavalry to return safely, and then it's not too late for us to enter Rencheng." ”

Obviously, Yao Xiang was still a little worried, after all, even if there were no enemy soldiers and horses near the city gate, if the enemy army ambushed heavy troops in the city, it could still cause huge losses to the soldiers and horses under his command.

The cavalry under Yao Chang's command made a big circle inside Rencheng, and did not find any enemy soldiers and horses, and found that the west gate of Rencheng was wide open, so they immediately returned to the east gate and reported these situations to Yao Xiang.

When Yao Xiang heard this, he was relieved and boldly led the main force of his troops and horses into Rencheng.

"Fifth brother, according to the detailed report, Wang Wu intercepted our army's weapons and salaries, and piled them up in Rencheng, and now, Rencheng has been taken by our army, why don't we immediately find out these materials and transport them all back to Mount Tai?" Yao Chang looked at Yao Xiang and said.

Yao Xiang nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's right, this batch of weapons and military salaries is very important to our army, and they must be found immediately and transported back to Mount Tai." ”

"Yes, fifth brother, I will send my subordinates to find it." Yao Chang received the order loudly and sent his henchmen to be responsible for finding this batch of supplies.

#####

A few hours later, Wang Wu and some of his soldiers and horses arrived at Kangfu City and settled in Kangfu City.

Since Wang Wu issued an order to let the reinforcements be reinforced, the position of the reinforcements was Rencheng, for this reason, he once again sent a large number of soldiers to pass the order, so that the reinforcements from all walks of life marched in the direction of Kangfu City, so as to prevent these soldiers and horses from arriving in the direction of Rencheng one after another, and being broken by Yao Xiang, thus causing huge losses.

After all the orders were issued, Wang Wu and his subordinates finally breathed a sigh of relief, but this time it was a defeat after all, and Wang Wu and the generals were a little depressed.

"General, our army has given up Rencheng like this, how can we explain it to the king?" A subordinate general looked at Wang Wu and said with a frown.

Wang Wu thought for a while, and said: "The reason why this battle suffered such a defeat is completely caused by the general's underestimation of the enemy, and the general will ask the king for his guilt and bear a responsibility." ”

When all the ministers heard this, they all expressed their appreciation and admiration for Wang Wu's courage to take responsibility, and expressed their willingness to share the responsibility together.

"General, now Rencheng should have been occupied by Yao Xiang, but it's a pity that so many weapons and military salaries were robbed by Yao Xiang like this." A general said regretfully.

Wang Wu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Don't worry, Rencheng's weapons and military salaries have been transferred by the general, although Yao Xiang captured Rencheng, he couldn't get anything, all he got was an empty city." After speaking, he looked at the generals under his command.

When the generals heard this, they were all taken aback, and they didn't know about this matter at all, so they hurriedly asked Wang Wu about it.

It turned out that Wang Wu knew early that Yao Xiang was a famous general who could fight well, and was worried that he would not be able to hold Rencheng, so after thinking about it again, he decided to transfer all the weapons, military salaries, military rations and other materials in Rencheng, and placed them in three proper positions, these three positions, only the personal soldiers under his command know, others do not know, and the personal soldiers under his command have always been with him, for this reason, Yao Xiang will never know where these materials are.

Seeing that Wang Wu had a plan, all the generals under his command were greatly relieved, so that these important materials were saved, and Yao Xiang did not get any actual benefits except for temporarily occupying Rencheng, which can be described as a busy work.

"General, no wonder you let the hundreds of soldiers and horses defending Rencheng evacuate Rencheng, it turns out that all the good things in Rencheng have been shipped out, and Yao Xiang got Rencheng is just an empty city." A subordinate general said happily.

"Yes! General, Yao Xiang only temporarily occupied Rencheng, as long as our army reinforcements arrive, Yao Xiang will be the turtle in the urn, haha! Another general shouted.

When Wang Wu heard this, he also swept away the shadow of defeat, and said loudly: "Generals, although our army has been defeated, the main force of our army has not suffered too much loss, and we can fight again, besides, reinforcements from all walks of life will arrive here one after another in a few days, as long as all the reinforcements arrive, Yao Xiang will definitely not be the opponent of our army, and then it will be the time of shame for our army." ”

"That's right, just wait a few days for revenge." The general said loudly.

Subsequently, Wang Wu received information from his scouts one after another, and learned the location of the arrival of various reinforcements, as well as the location of Yao Xiang's army.

In order to deal with the possible attack of Yao Xiang's army, Wang Wu and his generals formed a strong defense line based on the city wall of Kangfu City near Kangfu City, and relied on this defense line to gain a firm foothold and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

In the direction of Rencheng, Yao Chang's henchmen almost turned over the entire Rencheng, but they didn't find any trace of weapons and military salaries, not even a grain of military rations, which made them feel very puzzled, but whether they could find this batch of materials or not, they had to report to Yao Chang.

Yao Chang couldn't help but be very angry when he learned that he had spent a lot of time and energy under his heart and didn't find these much-needed materials at all, and scolded his heart and ordered, strictly ordering them to continue to search, even if they dug three feet into the ground, they had to find out these materials.

Of course, Yao Chang had to report such important news to Yao Xiang, he hurriedly walked to the big tent of the Chinese army and reported to Yao Xiang: "Fifth brother, those weapons and salaries have not been found, and not even a single grain of the enemy's military rations has been seen, but I have ordered them to continue the search, and sent additional manpower, perhaps, it will be found in a while." ”

Yao Xiang was surprised when he heard this, after all, the amount of this batch of materials is very large, and it is not an easy thing to hide in the city, if these soldiers can't find it after spending a lot of time and energy, then it is very likely that this batch of materials is no longer in the city, but has been transported to other places to hide.

"Perhaps, Wang Wu has already transported this batch of supplies, and what we have worked so hard to get is just an empty city." Yao Xiang looked at Yao Chang and said softly.

Yao Chang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Fifth brother means that Wang Wu has already transported this batch of materials out of Rencheng, but why did he do this?" Could it be that he already knew that Ren Cheng would not be able to hold it, so he made preparations in advance. (To be continued......)
