Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Lei Storm and Li Yi were taken aback, and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to prepare for battle, and more than 2,000 soldiers immediately raised their shields and leaned close to each other to resist the crossbow attack of the Shu army in the direction of the mountaintop.

Zhuge Qi, who was ambushed on the top of the mountain, after solving more than 200 enemy troops who climbed to the top of the mountain. Immediately rush forward and fire crossbow arrows at the climbing enemy.

A rain of arrows "swished ......" shot down all the enemy soldiers who were climbing, and more arrows were fired at the thunderstorm and the soldiers under his command.

Fortunately, before leaving, each soldier of the Northern Expeditionary Army prepared a small shield, so although the crossbow was huge, it did not cause much damage to the Northern Expeditionary Army below.

Moreover, due to the terrain restrictions, there were only about 500 soldiers and horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army within the range of the Wudang Fei Army, and the rest were gathered in the distance, and these 500 soldiers and horses were covered by shields and trees, and it was not easy to kill and injure.

But if Thunderstorm and Li Yi's men and horses want to attack the top of the mountain, it is also an impossible task, because the road ahead is steep and narrow, and they cannot attack the top of the mountain as long as there are more than a dozen Shu soldiers to defend it.

"General Lei, our army has been ambushed again, what should I do?" Li Yi finally gathered 500 soldiers and horses, and now, he has lost more than 300 at once, which makes him very desperate.

"What to do, how do I know." Thunderstorm was holding his shield and was being overwhelmed, so he naturally couldn't think of any good ideas in a short time.

Li Yi was in a hurry when he heard this, and shouted at the top of the mountain: "Which general is above, it will be Li Yi, we can talk about it." ”

Zhuge Qi heard this. He sneered, did not answer, and ordered to continue firing arrows.

Seeing that the general of the Shu army on the top of the mountain did not answer, Li Yi patted his forehead, and then roared: "The Great Jin Three-Way Army is marching westward, and the situation is like a broken bamboo, and it is inevitable that Shuzhong will change hands, for the lives of the soldiers of the two armies, it is wiser for the general to surrender to the Great Jin." ”

Seeing Li Yi brazenly persuading him to surrender, Zhuge Qi was immediately furious. shouted and reprimanded: "Li Yi." You traitor who sells his lord for glory, the emperor treats you well, you don't want to be loyal, but take refuge in other countries. You're so brazen. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Yi's mouth. He replied loudly: "It's General Zhuge right!" It's not unfaithfulness and unrighteousness. He is arrogant and stingy, greedy for money and lustful, murders and steals wives, ignores state affairs, brutalizes ministers, abuses the criminal law, and does not care for the people, which makes everyone in Shuzhong officials and people in danger. Is such a dumb king worthy of allegiance? ”

"Li Yi, you are presumptuous, and the soldiers release arrows." Zhuge Qi was furious when he heard this, and loudly ordered his soldiers to release arrows downward.

"Whoosh...... A rain of arrows shot towards Li Yi's location quickly, and Li Yi, who was suppressed, couldn't raise his head.

"General Lei, judging from the last general, it won't work to attack from here, so it's better to retreat!" Li Yi saw that Zhuge Qi refused to surrender, and said loudly.

Thunderstorm naturally felt that it was impossible to attack, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, retreat, the whole army retreats." ”

When the soldiers heard the order, the rear team changed into the front team and began to return one after another along the newly opened steep path.

Seeing that the enemy army was gradually retreating, Zhuge Qi did not send troops to chase after him, but deployed fifty soldiers here to closely monitor every move in the vicinity, and sent more soldiers to reconnoiter around the top of the mountain, and report immediately once the enemy army was found.

At the fork in the road leading to the east and west gates of Luocheng, Hua An was studying the situation of the various armies in Shuzhong in the big camp, and together with his generals, he analyzed the possible countermeasures that Li Shi might take, and formulated a preliminary plan for besieging Chengdu.

"General, according to the news from the Jingzhou Army, the army of Jiaoguang Erzhou has joined the Jingzhou Army in Jiangyang City, and the two armies are in one place, and they are attacking the county of Jianwei, if it is a qiē shun lì, at most half a month, you can arrive in Chengdu, at that time, our army and the South Road coalition army will encircle Chengdu, and we will definitely be able to force Li Shi to surrender, and the soldiers will not be bloody when they capture Chengdu." A subordinate general said with a fist clenched.

"The Southern Route Coalition Army is still five or six hundred miles away from Chengdu, and our army has already arrived in Luocheng, which is only more than a hundred miles away from Chengdu, why should our army wait for them, Li Shi is weak, and from the perspective of the last general, with the strength of our army alone, Li Shi can be forced to surrender, and there is no need to wait for more than half a month." Another general made a meritorious contribution to oppose the coalition forces waiting for the southern route.

Seeing that the generals had different opinions, Hua An looked at Wang San, the deputy general beside him, and asked, "Wang San, what is your opinion?" ”

Wang San hesitated for a while, looked at Hua'an, and said: "Big brother, the top priority of our army at the moment is to capture Luocheng, as for the siege of Chengdu, it is not too late to think about it after capturing Luocheng." ”

Hua An smiled and said: "Yes, now that the city has not been taken, it is still a little too early to consider the capture of Chengdu, Thunderstorm led two thousand cavalry to shoot down Fengpo, and I don't know what the situation is." ”

"Big brother, don't worry! Thunderstorm: They already know that there is an ambush of the Shu army in Luofengpo, and it will be fine. Wang San hurriedly comforted.

"Report, General, General Tie's letter, please read it to the General." A herald handed over the letter written by Tie Niu himself to Hua An.

When Hua An heard that it was a letter written by Tie Niu, he hurriedly took it, and when he opened the letter, a smile appeared on the corner of Hua An's mouth, which seemed to be a good thing.

"Big brother, what did Tie Niu write to make you happy like this, is it that the city has been breached?" Wang San hurriedly asked.

"Ahh Is it true that the city has been breached? It would be great if it were true. "The people in the tent will be very happy.

Seeing that the generals were all happy, Hua An shook his head, handed the letter in his hand to Wang San, and said softly: "Take a look for yourself!" ”

Wang San took the letter, read it carefully, and said suspiciously: "Tie Niu did not attack the city, he said that Li Fu, the commander of the Shu army, wanted to return to the Great Jin Dynasty sincerely, let us not doubt Li Fu's sincerity, big brother, Li Fu's words may not be reliable!" If he cheats, will we suffer again? ”

Hua An smiled and said softly: "The death of Shuzhong is inevitable, I believe that Li Fu is truly obedient to my Great Jin, besides, even if we don't believe in Li Fu's sincerity, we must believe in Tie Niu's judgment!" Even he, a big boss, saw that Li Fu had the intention of surrendering, and this could be fake. ”

"Big brother, if Li Fuzhen leads the defenders of Yucheng to submit to my Great Jin, then our army can march directly to Chengdu, and the destruction of Shu will not be far away." Wang San said excitedly.

Hua An smiled and agreed.

"Report, general, that Shu cavalry has come to deliver the letter again." At this moment, Li Fu's henchmen arrived at the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"Let him in." Hua An saw that Li Fu had sent his subordinates to deliver the letter, and he couldn't help but have a good premonition in his heart.

Li Fu's henchmen walked into Hua'an's Chinese army tent, and after visiting Hua'an, he handed over the letter written by Li Fu himself to Hua'an.

Hua An took the letter, read it aloud carefully, and accentuated his tone from time to time, which made the main generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the tent excited, but Li Fu's henchmen who saw him off were ashamed, bowed his head, and had no energy.

After reading the letter, Hua An looked at Li Fu's henchman who sent the letter, and said softly: "It seems that General Li Fu, returning to the Great Jin is sincere, and the general believes in General Li Fu's sincerity, you wait first, and the general will write a reply letter, and I bother you to bring it back in person and hand it over to General Li Fu." As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the offices in the big tent.

"Yes, villain obeys." Li Fu's henchmen responded with a fist.

"Report, general, General Thunderstorm has lost the battle, our army has suffered nearly five hundred casualties, and Luofengpo is still under the control of the Shu army." Ordered the soldiers to enter the account and reported truthfully.

"Ahh The thunderstorm general lost the battle, with more than 500 dead and wounded, so strict. The generals in the big tent of the Chinese army all discussed in surprise.

Hua An just picked up the brush, and when he heard the bad news, he immediately put the brush on the white paper in front of the case, and said angrily: "What, how can this be, what is the situation, tell me in detail." ”

The little soldier clenched his fists and opened his mouth to report: "General Hui, General Lei led two thousand men and horses to the vicinity of Luofeng Slope, met General Li Yi and his five hundred men and horses, so he joined forces and sent a large number of men and horses to open up the road to the top of Luofeng Slope, after the road was opened, the two generals led all the men and horses, marched to the top of the mountain on the right side of Luofeng Slope, nearly 300 men and horses under the command of General Li Yi took the lead in climbing to the top of the mountain, but suddenly was attacked by the crossbow ambush of the Shu army, more than 200 soldiers died on the spot, due to the narrow road, The follow-up main force could not launch an effective attack, so they had to retreat. ”

When Hua An heard that most of the soldiers killed and wounded were all men and horses under Li Yi's command, his heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, he looked at Li Fu's henchmen and asked, "This is General Li Fu's sincerity?" ”

When Li Fu's henchmen heard this, he couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly explained: "General, the general who led the troops in Luofengpo is Zhuge Qi, and the relationship with my general has always been bad, he is unwilling to return to the Great Jin, and my general is also powerless to eliminate it!" ”

"Oh, who is this Zhuge Qi, so powerful, is he a descendant of Zhuge Wuhou?" Hua An suddenly became more interested in Zhuge Qi's life experience.

Such a bold and careful general who is good at setting ambushes, Hua An admires him very much, and has a great desire to receive it under his command.

When Li Fu's henchmen heard this, his face was full of disdain, and he replied truthfully: "General Yu, this Zhuge Qi was originally a barbarian in Nanzhong, and the soldiers under his command were all barbarians, and his ancestors were the generals of the Wudang Fei Army during the period of Zhuge Wuhou, because he admired the prestige of Zhuge Wuhou, so he changed his sex, in fact, he was just a Nanzhong barbarian. ”

When Hua An heard this, he was slightly surprised, and frowned: "It's really unexpected!" Such an excellent general is actually a barbarian in Nanzhong, but this Wudang Feijun is quite prestigious, and he has already heard of it when he was in Jiangnan, and it seems that today it is really worthy of his reputation! ”

"The general is wise, the Wudang Flying Army under Zhuge Qi is indeed the elite division in my Shu, and it is very difficult to deal with!" Li Fu's henchmen hurriedly complimented Hua An. (To be continued......)
