Chapter 95: Teasing
Mei Changsheng said, "Assuming that the Cao army really has an ambush, if you see our army defeated and fleeing, you will be killed!" Let's count the calculations and divide them out - some people pretend to escape from the front, and the army follows behind, as long as the table tennis in front of them is ambushed, the army will be killed later, and the counter-killing Cao army will be caught off guard!"
Guan Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly, "The virtuous nephew is thoughtful, and he has the style of a military master back then."
Mei Changsheng was embarrassed, and he waved his hand, "Second Uncle Hugh is going to make fun of him."
Dry cough - said nervously, "The matter of the table tennis will be handed over to the second uncle to deal with, and the little nephew will stay first to deal with the chasing table tennis later."
Guan Yu nodded happily and said, "A certain green dragon knife has been idle for a long time, and it is about to be used."
Mei Changsheng was no longer polite, and immediately summoned all the generals to gather, ordered, and said, "General Meng Da, you are the superior general, first order you to take 800 men and horses, pretend to escape and retreat to Hanzhong, you must be presentable."
Meng Dazheng wondered to himself, why did he want to run away from Ping Pong, but Mei Changsheng said calmly, "This is a military order, and you must not disobey it."
In desperation, I had to agree in a muffled voice, and chose some relatively thin table tennis, and discarded the armor - half, and went first.
Mei Changsheng said to Guan Yu again, "Second uncle, the Chinese army will be led by you, and there is no need to play the flag, so that Cao Jun will mistakenly think that it is better to chase table tennis!"
Guan Yu laughed loudly when he heard this, "That's not wrong, I was still thinking about how far away I wouldn't be discovered by the Cao army just now, so that we can follow the Meng Da troops and reduce the risk!"
Mei Changsheng handed over the riding table tennis led by Kou Wei to Guan Yu, and asked him to follow Guan Yu first, and he and Liao Hua led the Qianjing Ping Pong Palace, waiting for the chasing table tennis to come.
After Guan Yu left, Liao Hua said to Mei Changsheng, "The general saved General Guan's surname this time, and Jun Hou's opinion of you seems to have changed a lot!"
Mei Changsheng nodded, sighed, and said, "Yes, I was ignorant before, and I may not be mature enough, which disappointed the second uncle!"
Liao Hua also sighed, "I have never seen him so modest since I followed the monarch, and it seems that Jingzhou has changed a lot for him!"
Mei Changsheng nodded and smiled, and said, "Second Uncle is strong in martial arts, and he is naturally arrogant, but after this great change, he has been hit hard, but fortunately he has endured it, and it is not a good thing for him!"
Liao Hua sighed and said, "Yes, if a person can be like Jun Hou and Zhenhuaxia, it is enough!" I didn't expect to suffer such a big defeat again, I thought that the general would really apologize for his crimes, but now that he can face it calmly, it makes me even more convinced!"
Mei Changsheng said, "That's right, what people are most afraid of is facing failure. It's even harder to be held accountable for failures! It's really admirable that the second uncle can do this!"
Liao Hua nodded and didn't say anything more, probably feeling something!
"Okay, let's act, this time I'm going to let Cao Jun return with a feather!" Mei Changsheng patted Liao Hua on the shoulder, and led the men and horses to move forward, looking for a suitable ambush place.
Although Cao Jun had a chase, but certainly did not dare to pursue at night, Mei Changsheng calculated the speed of the march, and Liao Hua totaled - Fan, and chose a relatively open canyon, where the woods are dense, stones and thorns are everywhere, it is a good place to ambush.
Liao Hua frowned, and said, "The ambush place should be chosen as a dangerous place, the enemy army is not easy to guard, this place is open everywhere, if it is killed, the Cao army will immediately end the formation, there is no advantage."
Mei Changsheng smiled and said, "If Cao Jun doesn't come, it is considered that those people are lucky, but if they really chase here, they will definitely come non-stop, and people will be sleepy."
He pointed to the direction in which the army was leaving, and said, "Look at the winding mountain road in front of you, the mountains are steep, and it is not early for the Cao army to arrive here, so naturally they don't dare to chase anymore.
When Liao Hua heard this, he thought it was true, and immediately went to the woods on the other side to ambush.
Sun Li didn't expect that the Shu army would be ambushed when he fled for his life, and it was not too early, so he couldn't help but feel a little deflated in his heart, and chased after him for an hour, but he still didn't catch up with the Shu army, and he was even more impatient in his heart, roaring, "Chase again, if there is no enemy army, we will retreat!"
He already felt hopeless in his heart and wanted to give up, but when he thought of the rush of this road, there was always a little unwillingness, and decided to chase after it again, to see that the sky had darkened, and the scenery in the distance had begun to blur, and he understood that he could not rush in any further, so he had to order to stop the pursuit!
Looking at the tired Shi Ping, Sun Li said, "The terrain ahead is dangerous, the mountain road is narrowing, don't rush to pursue in the middle of the night, everyone go to the woods in front to rest - and then return to the army."
It was dark, and the light was even worse in the mountain road, so the soldiers got off their horses and lit a fire, and gathered in twos and threes, eating the dry food brought from Wancheng, and spent the whole day on the horse's back, and everyone was almost exhausted.
Sun Li sat on a big rock, annoyed in his heart, chewing dry food without taste, and was raising his head to drink, when he suddenly saw a dark shadow in the woods in front of him, and his heart was shocked.
The water in the kettle spilled, and it was not mixed with the scraps of dry food in his mouth, and he choked on and coughed, and his face was flushed, but he couldn't say a word, but he held the kettle and pointed to the woods over there.
Cao Ping was secretly talking about how wronged this trip was, where would he look at his gestures, and when he found out that something was wrong, he only heard the shouts of killing in the woods on both sides, and the cold light shimmered under the firelight, and countless Shu troops rushed out like ghosts.
The deputy general was so frightened that the dry food in his hand fell to the ground, turned his head and saw Sun Li's embarrassed appearance, and hurriedly came over to help him get on the horse.
- After a long day of marching, everyone held their breath, but - sat down to rest, no longer had the energy, in a panic they could not even climb on their backs, and after a few random resistances, they were killed by the powerful Shu army.
It was almost a one-sided slaughter, only the sonorous sound of the collision of ping-pong weapons and the sound of ping-pong blades separating flesh and bones, blood splashed in the firelight, and the bloody atmosphere spread all over the valley in an instant.
In the neighing sound of the war horse, Sun Li lay on the horse's back in embarrassment, still coughing, and fled in embarrassment under the protection of the deputy general and dozens of Cao Ping.
Mei Changsheng and Liao Hua led the team, constantly impacting Cao Ping, who had no defense, after Sun Li fled, Cao Ping was even more chaotic, tired and hungry, where could he resist, less than the effort of the meal, he had been all cleaned up, and more than 300 people were captured.
Liao Hua looked at the nearly 1,000 war horses he had captured, he couldn't close his mouth with joy, and said to Mei Changsheng, "It's really fun to follow the general, these two battles are a big victory without wasted effort, this time we have captured so many war horses, our foot table tennis has become a riding table tennis!"
Taking advantage of the firelight, he hastily buried the corpse and asked Liao Hua to escort the prisoners, Mei Changsheng took Cao Ping's armor to chase after Guan Yu's army in front, and he didn't know if there was an ambush ahead, for fear that there would be any variables, and all his efforts would be in vain.
