Chapter 161: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas, Yellow Sparrows Follow?

On the other hand, Huan Wen naturally didn't know the news that Beiming's troops were divided into three routes, and he had been guarding Chaoyang City, hoping that Jiangling could invite reinforcements from Li Shimin and Liu Bei to come to support.

At the same time, Wu Qi sat in the military camp, staring at the map of Sizhou and examining it carefully, his eyebrows were full of thoughts, this is a military map specially sent by Bei Minghan to draw on silk cloth, which is extremely convenient to use.

"I'm afraid that with Di Qing's ability, I have already taken Han Cheng, it seems that I can't be so obscure and do nothing, otherwise I will be compared to them..."

Wu Qi is naturally not willing to lag behind, in troubled times, peerless generals, like carp crossing the river, countless, but to create a fame, but it is not easy.

Especially in the case of fierce generals and strategists under the command of Bei Minghao, it is not easy to get ahead.

Although Bei Minghao values him very much, if he doesn't do anything, he will definitely be replaced by a rising star, so he won't let go of this opportunity in vain.

"Fengxiao, there are still 100,000 enemy troops in Chaoyang City now, and it is not easy to take it head-on, what should our army do to take Chaoyang City in a short time?"

"Boss, Huan Wen's ability to use troops is extremely not weak, if you want to quickly take Chaoyang City, it is not appropriate to attack it, you need to use a strategy to attack the heart..."

When Guo Jia heard this, he thought for a moment and said.

"Oh, a heart-to-heart strategy? So what should our army do? ”

"Boss, you just have to... In this way, the enemy's army will be in turmoil, Huan Wen has no choice but to break through, otherwise he will only be trapped in Chaoyang City, and as long as the general needs to send an army to wait in Jinshadu, intercept the Sizhou army, our army can take advantage of the situation to kill Huan Wen's department, and take the opportunity to connect Zhaoyang and Yecheng. Approaching the royal capital..."

"This plan is very good, Fengxiao is really talented, please accept Wu's worship..."

When Wu Qi heard this, his face was overjoyed, he quickly stood up, bowed down to Guo Jia, his words were extremely polite, and he was completely impressed by Guo Jia's strategy.

And that night, Wu Qi sent someone to tie a note to the arrow, taking advantage of the cover of the night. In one fell swoop, the strips of cloth were shot into the city.

The next day, when Huan Wen just got up, the military advisor Yu Liang came to see him in a very anxious manner.

"Boss, it's not good, last night the Northern Underworld Army took advantage of the night to shoot these things into the city, and now there is chaos in the city, how should our army be good?"

Huan Wen opened the cloth strip and looked at it, and his face suddenly became extremely pale. It was extremely gloomy, his fists were clenched, and his nails were sunk into the flesh and blood without knowing it, which showed his anger at this time.

"There must be a master in the army of the Northern Underworld. It seems that our army can only act at the opportunity, once the Northern Underworld Army is really divided into two ways, then we must not defend the lonely city alone, otherwise we will become a turtle in the urn. You go and let General Bai stabilize the army's heart..."

Huan Wen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, he must not mess around at this moment. Otherwise, the army will return to chaos, and a good commander must remain calm at all times.

Just when Huan Wen suppressed the anger in his heart, suddenly Han Xiang, the guard of Han City, rushed in with a gloomy face and blood, as soon as he saw this person, Huan Wen knew that Han Cheng must have been lost.

"The last general is incompetent and failed to hold Hancheng, please surrender the general..."

Han Xiang knelt on the ground and began to grab the ground with his head, his forehead was bleeding profusely, and if he didn't stop it, it was really possible for Han Xiang to die here.

Hearing that Han Cheng was lost, Huan Wen's heart suddenly cooled half, but he still helped Han Xiang, who knelt down to plead guilty, and began to comfort him.

"General Han doesn't need to blame himself like this, the Northern Underworld Army is menacing, and it is reasonable that you failed to hold it with 5,000 people, how can this commander blame you..."

Seeing that Huan Wen had not surrendered to him, Han Xiang knew that his bitter calculation had been successful, and he was immediately relieved, and looked at Huan Wen with a slight look of gratitude in his eyes.

"Boss, now that Hancheng is lost, what should our army do?"

Yu Liang looked at Huan Wen at this time and told the current predicament of the Sizhou army.

"Alas, now that Hancheng is lost, our army's back road has been cut off, and rumors are rife in the city, the army's heart is unstable, our army can only retreat to Jinshadu, and the northern army will cross Jinshadu one step first, and arrive at Pingcheng to defend it, alas, Huan is really ashamed of his trust in the lord..."

Huan Wen thought about his current predicament at this time, and he didn't realize that a tear fell from his eyes, infinitely sad.

That night, Huan Wen quietly led the army out of Chaoyang City, waved his army straight to Jinshadu, and these naturally couldn't hide from the eyes of the scouts of the Northern Underworld Army, and quickly reported the information to Wu Qi, who was anxiously waiting.

As soon as Wu Qi heard the news, his face was overjoyed, and he immediately rushed to Jinshadu with Yan and Huang Wushu, but Guo Jia did not set off with the army, but stayed in the military camp with Zhang Hao, waiting for the news of Wu Qi's great victory.

At this moment, Huan Wen, who set off first, was less than thirty miles away from Jinshadu, and his face was not happy and carefree, but he kept rushing towards Jinshadu.

"General, why did the boss let us ambush again?"

At this time, Li Cunxiao received Wu Qi's order and waved his troops to hide in Jinshadu, waiting for the arrival of Huanwen's army.

"Hmph, what do you know, Hancheng was taken by Di Hanchen, cutting off the back road of the Sizhou army in one fell swoop, Huan Wen must abandon the city and turn to Jinshadu, our army is waiting here first, waiting for work, and then the Sizhou soldiers who will definitely be able to kill will turn over on their backs, retreat, as long as they eat Huan Wen's 100,000 army, Sizhou will not be able to go from now on?"

Li Cunxiao glanced at the young generals under his command who had never seen the world with disdain, and talked endlessly about his overall situation.

"The general is wise and martial, and the small admirer throws himself to the ground, and is willing to bow to the wind..."

Seeing that Li Cunxiao was so far-sighted, the young general unconsciously began to compliment Li Cunxiao.

"Report, the Huanwen army is less than ten miles away from us..."

"It's a good time, I haven't loosened my muscles and bones for a long time, my body is starting to rust, Huan Wen came at the right time, hehe..."

When Li Cunxiao heard this, his eyes lit up, his tongue licked his dry lips, his eyes rolled, he smiled, and he looked eager to try, looking like he was extremely looking forward to the battle with the Sizhou army.

"Report to the commander, Li Cunxiao, the general of the Northern Underworld Army, has waved his army to occupy Jinshadu..."

"Report, Wu Qi killed the whole army from the rear..."

Before one of the guards could finish speaking, the other reported one after another.

"Hmph, sure enough, let Huan see, is it our army that fights out of the encirclement today, survives Jinshadu, or folds Jinshadu?"

At this moment, Huan Wen looked at the hazy night. The corners of his mouth are raised, his hand is holding the scabbard, his eyes are extremely deep, and his face is surprisingly calm, this is the demeanor of a manager.

A blue cloak fluttered in the wind, and a few long hairs between his eyebrows were blown back and forth by the wind, and his tall figure stood in front.

Seeing this, the Sizhou soldiers behind him unconsciously calmed down, and the fear in their hearts was dissipated with the slightly chilly evening breeze. The anxious expression on his face also eased unconsciously, and as Huan Wen looked into the distance, Jinshadu and the Northern Underworld Army were close at hand.

"Soldiers, are you ready?"

"Swear to follow the general, fight to the death and never retreat, kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The Sizhou army shouted three "kill" words with a face, and the momentum also changed again and again, going straight to the peak, with no fear in his eyes, and some just indomitable momentum.

"Kill the enemy with me. Kill..."

Huan Wen looked at the Sizhou army, whose momentum had reached its peak, and knew that his goal had been achieved, so he no longer waited, and roared angrily. Drawing his sword, he killed Li Cunxiao, who was blocking in front of him.

"Hey, the momentum is not bad, I can't imagine that this little Huan Wen is not weak in commanding ability. I underestimated him..."

Li Cunxiao looked at the rising momentum of the Sizhou army, was a little dumbfounded for a while, and chuckled. The ability to warm this had to be reconsidered, and at the same time, the contempt in his eyes dissipated.

At this moment, he finally treated Huan Wen as an opponent, his expression became a little more solemn, and he clenched the Yuwang Shenqi and Bi Yanlao in his hand.

"The tiger is mighty, the world is shaking, the blazing ****, the brave fight does not retreat, kill..."

As Li Cunxiao broke off, 20,000 blazing ****, all like bursting tigers, charged down, and rushed straight to the Sizhou army formation, the spear in his hand exuding a strong cold light.

Shuoqi passed on the golden watch, the cold light was iron-clad, the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years.

The scene at this moment is as described in the poem, tragic and bloody.

"Giant Shield, Defend!"

In an instant, the officers and soldiers of the two armies rushed together, and the blazing **** slammed into the shield of the Sizhou army with a burst of momentum.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”

"Ahh

As soon as the battle was held, the battle situation became extremely tragic, and one giant shield after another was knocked out of shape, and the Sizhou army's spear here lost no time, fiercely pierced the armor of the Northern Underworld Army, and killed the Northern Underworld Army through the giant shield.

"Look at my Yuwang Shenqi, ah..."

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

"Click..."

Seeing the increase in the number of casualties among his soldiers, Li Cunxiao was suddenly furious, and the Yuwang Divine Lance in his hand was angry and hit the giant shield of the Sizhou army.

The furious Li Cunxiao's strength is not much worse than Li Yuanba's, and the huge shield of the Sizhou Army is naturally impossible to resist Li Cunxiao's giant lance.

In just a moment, hundreds of giant shields were smashed into pieces by Li Cunxiao, and the blazing **** saw that his master was so brave, and his morale was naturally boosted, and he launched an assault again.

With Li Cunxiao taking the lead in setting an example, the defense line of the Sizhou army was torn apart by the blazing **** in an instant, and at this time, Wu Qi in the distance finally led the army to finally kill him.

"Yan Huang Wu pawn, the land is dominant, the bloody field, I am invincible..."

A loud voice came from behind the Sizhou army, with a strong fighting spirit, rushing towards the Sizhou army that had already fought with the blazing ****.

Like a hungry wolf pounced on food, it instantly pounced on the unprepared Sizhou army, attacked it in groups, and the Sizhou army was defeated for a while.

The warriors personally trained by Wu Qi were carefully selected from the various battalions after being licensed by Bei Minghao, and the elite soldiers were selected to form an army of 10,000, but their combat power was not much worse than that of the Nine Hidden Guards.

Yan Huang is a soldier with strict discipline, from the commander to the soldiers, all strictly abide by military discipline, and their combat effectiveness is so strong that even Bai Qi is amazed.

With the close cooperation of the military soldiers, the Sizhou army was like a rat crossing the street, and the situation was extremely worrying, and it was difficult to resist the invasion of the Northern Underworld army.

"Kill, sons, follow me to rescue the commander, kill the Northern Underworld, kill..."

At this time, Wu got up and killed an army again, and the leader was Han Xiang, who defeated Han Cheng, at this moment Han Xiang was like a tiger, taking the lead, and leading a group of Sizhou troops to kill from behind Yan Huang Wu.

One moment ago, it was still a tiger blocking the road, and then it was a two-sided attack. The praying mantis catches cicadas, but now it is a yellow finch behind.

The battlefield pattern is changing rapidly, and the Northern Underworld Army still had a great upper hand a moment ago, but now it is about to be reversed, but Wu Qi has trapped himself.

On the other hand, the Sizhou army, because of the addition of Han Xiang's army, was greatly boosted for a while, and its combat power was much more powerful.

The two armies fell into a stalemate, and Wu Qi suffered from the enemy on his back. And Huan Wen is also the enemy on his back, Li Cunxiao is mighty at this time, leading a group of blazing **** to fight bravely in all directions.

On Wu Qi's side, Yan Huang was difficult to resist, with tens of thousands of troops behind him, and with 10,000 people, he was subjected to the front and back attacks of tens of thousands of troops, so naturally the situation was worrying.

In less than a moment, Yanhuang Huwei lost thousands, which made Wu Qi's flesh extremely painful.

"Don't worry, coach. Zhang Oyster is also here..."

Just when Wu Qi was in a hurry, there was a sudden sound of a broken cry from behind Han Xiang's army.

Listen carefully, but it is the voice of Zhang Hao, the general of Beiyinghao, since Zhang Fei broke the ancestral root with a spear. Zhang Oyster became extremely brave.

Whether it is courage or strength, there has been a qualitative improvement, and at this moment it is unbeatable. The killing general came, and a large number of Northern Underworld troops behind him followed, rushing over with murderous energy.

At this moment, Zihuan Wen was dumbfounded. Han Xiang was also dumbfounded, this damn Wu Qi had already anticipated his movements and layout, and had arranged his tactics in advance.

Although the main force is still there at this time, it has been divided into two halves by Wu Qi, and if you want to break out of the encirclement, you must unite your troops and kill them regardless of losses.

But how much is left after the kill? This is a problem that Huan Wen, as the commander, must consider, but at this time, the morale of the Sizhou army has plummeted, and there is no longer the previous combat strength.

On the other hand, the Northern Underworld Army, with the addition of Zhang Oyster, a new force, was extremely high in morale and excited, and when he lifted his weapon, he went straight to the Sizhou Army with low morale.

And at this moment, Zhang Oyster and Li Cunxiao are even more courageous, like two sharp knives, penetrating the Sizhou army from both sides, killing the Sizhou army thousands of times, mourning all over the field.

After a tragic and bloody battle, regardless of the losses, Han Xiang finally joined forces with Huan Wen's soldiers, at this moment the Sizhou army lost more than half, and there were less than 40,000 soldiers with combat effectiveness at this moment, this kind of loss was not expected by Huan Wen before.

On the other hand, the Northern Underworld Army, the losses were relatively light, 60,000 troops, the loss was only more than 20,000 people, of which the Blazing **** lost 3,000, the Yan Huang soldiers lost more than 2,000 people, and the 30,000 army led by Zhang Hao lost more than half, and the battle situation can be described as extremely tragic.

At this time, there is not much difference in the number of armies on both sides, the only difference is that the killing intent of the Northern Underworld Army is even stronger, and the killing is secret; However, the Sizhou army has plunged it into a trough, and its combat strength is not one in ten.

Seeing that the general trend has gone, as the commander, Huan Wen is ashamed, in terms of strategy, he made a mistake, so he let the soul of 50,000 troops return to Jinsha, which is the most failed place as a commander.

Glancing back at the group of soldiers behind him, these soldiers were full of longing in their eyes, eager to survive, eager to leave Jinshadu alive, but their tired eyes told him that this was impossible.

"Wu Qi, I want to know, where did I lose? Why did you guess my whereabouts first? ”

Huan Wen asked unwillingly, yes, he was unwilling, he thought of this strategy on a temporary whim, planning to catch cicadas with praying mantises, and the yellow finch was behind, but Wu Qi also ambushed a hunter, and now he was defeated.

"Hehe, Huan Wen, Wu has to say that you are too unlucky, in fact, I didn't expect you to use a suspicious strategy, to be honest, if it weren't for the military advisor Guo Jia who saw through your strategy, who wins and who loses at this time is really not certain, hehe!"

"Guo Jia? Hehe, I didn't lose unjustly, but I didn't lose under you, I was defeated in the hands of Guo Jia, and I was defeated in my own hands..."

Huan Wen smiled sadly and bitterly, his eyes were full of sadness, he looked back at the soldiers behind him, shouted loudly, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and he was worthy of being the commander of the first army.

"Wu Qi, you won, but I hope you can let go of these innocent soldiers, human life is as cheap as dogs in troubled times, they have to join the army in order to survive, after I die, please let them go..."

"Okay, as long as they lay down their arms and surrender, I, Wu Qi, promise not to touch them in the slightest, and I will send them away after the war..."

He was a little surprised that Huan Wen had finally asked for such a request, but out of respect for his opponent, he still agreed.

"Okay, I believe in you, I hope you keep your promise!"

After speaking, he drew his sword and slashed straight at his neck, and suddenly blood splashed, slowly softening to the ground, a generation of commanders, Huan Wen, finally made his own choice, and would rather die than surrender.

"Bury Huan Wen, collect the weapons of the Sizhou army, and return to the camp..."

Looking at Huan Wen, who was killing himself, Wu Qi felt a heartfelt admiration and respect in his heart, and at the same time felt extremely tired, and he really wanted to go back and sleep well now.

……

On the other side, Wei Qing led 10,000 cavalry, like a tiger like a mountain, into the hinterland of Sizhou, within one day, broke three cities in a row, shed thousands of miles of blood, and killed the enemy army frightened, looking at the flag and surrendering.

"General, in front of you is Mohe City, there are 3,000 defenders in the city, and the guard's name is Chen Yue..."

"Chen Yue, hum, nameless ear..."

"Soldiers, follow me into Mohe City, and kill him with a river of blood..."

Under the leadership of Wei Qing, the Northern Underworld Army killed confidential cloth, and the fierce light was exposed in their eyes, and the smooth sailing along the way made their self-confidence begin to swell, and their hearts began to transform, becoming extremely powerful.

At the same time, he also admires Wei Qing very much, as if as long as Wei Qing is there, there is no battle that cannot be won.

"Whoa, kill into the city, kill..."

A group of cavalrymen, all shouting, followed Wei Qing to Mohe City...
