"Medium?"

Mei Chuang was startled, and then heard Liu Yi say: "It must be that kid who is understaffed, something happened, and the order will be passed on, and the whole army will be vigilant." ”

As soon as his words fell, Mei Chuang suddenly pointed to the city and exclaimed, "General, look! ”

Liu Yi looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a red lantern suddenly appear on the pitch-black city, and the person carrying the lantern was waving his hand constantly.

"It's Xu Rui!"

Mei Chuang exclaimed again, and everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Xu Rui standing on the battlements, holding a lantern and waving.

"What is he doing, don't die? is so swaggering, any cold arrow can kill him! ”

Mei Chuang was anxious, and the others were also shocked.

Liu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pressed his hand: "Wait, this kid may have been arrested?" ”

Mei Chuang was stunned: "It's impossible, even if the strategy fails, there is no reason to stand on the battlements with a lantern, etc., could it be that the defenders of the Southern Dynasty plan to use him to lure our army to attack the city?" ”

At this moment, the closed gate of the east city suddenly opened slowly with a "creak", and the displaced people sleeping under the city were awakened, and when they saw the city gate open, they immediately rushed into the city with a cheer.

"Hey, don't hide, let's get into town!"

Xu Rui sat down on the battlements, carrying the lantern and shouting, how much he looked like he was going to be beaten.

The soldiers of the forward battalion who were ambushed under the city looked at Liu Yi in unison.

"General, what shall we do?"

There must be a demon when something goes wrong, there are only three or two people around Xu Rui, the scene in front of him is really incredible, marching and fighting is not child's play, once the chess is missing, the thousands of brothers behind him will die, so Liu Yi can't be cautious.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yi gritted his teeth, pulled out the Qingxue Cold Water Knife on his waist, and said in a low voice: "The whole army obeys the order and enters the city!" ”

"Kill, kill!!"

At the sound of an order, the soldiers of the forward battalion immediately drew their swords, jumped out of the grass where they were hiding, and killed the open city gate.

The displaced people who were flocking to the city gate were all too familiar with the shouting and killing sound of the Wei army, and when they heard this sound, they were immediately frightened, and the crowd that had just gathered dispersed in a hurry as if they saw death, and the city gate was instantly unimpeded.

Liu Yi and Mei Chuang rushed to the front, they originally thought that this would be a strategy for the defenders of the Southern Dynasty to lure the enemy into depth, but they had to send arrows on the bow, otherwise they would miss the opportunity to open the door, and they would have to fight a hard siege battle.

But I didn't expect the army to fight all the way into the city, but I didn't even see a decent defender, the city was empty, the streets were in a mess, and the Wei army attacked the city five days later.

Until this moment, they finally understood, no wonder that kid dared to sit on the top of the city, it turned out that the defenders in the city had already fled, and although the current Lingdong City was closed the city gate, it was already an empty city!

Liu Yi ordered Mei Chuang to lead people straight to the county office, and he led a few personal soldiers to the city to find Xu Rui.

Xu Rui stood at the head of the city with a lantern, watching the army continue to rush into the city, Sangou and Xu Fang stood behind him and smiled.

As soon as he saw Liu Yi coming, Xu Rui smiled and said, "Why did the general come, I am grateful for the flowers I was waiting for." ”

Liu Yi snorted coldly and said angrily: "Little rabbit cub, did you expect that the defenders in the city would flee without a fight?" ”

Xu Rui said as a matter of course: "Yes, otherwise what am I going to do in the city?" The art of war is cloudy, the highest level of the use of soldiers is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, just like our soldiers conquer Lingdong without blood...... Ouch...... It hurts, it hurts. ”

Liu Yi grabbed Xu Rui's ears and pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "Don't show off, your master's knowledge is a thousand words, how can you talk about it when you meet people?" ”

Xu Rui finally escaped from Liu Yi's clutches, rubbing his ears and crying and laughing: "There are no outsiders here, besides, learning is a summary of discussions, blindly cherishing the broom, making cars behind closed doors, and will be left behind in a few years." ”

Liu Yi snorted coldly: "The old man can't say anything about you, but since you know that the defenders of Lingdong will escape, why do you pretend to be mysterious, let Mei Chuang go out of the city first, and then agree to open the city at night?" ”

Xu Rui rolled his eyes: "I did what I had to do, but I can't run, how to run, and when to run, it's always up to me, right?" How can there be the slightest mistake in marching and fighting, I can only use the safest way, right? ”

It turned out that the general trend that Xu Rui had worked so hard to create was to make the whole city of Lingdong fall into the panic that the Southern Korean army was about to arrive and was invincible, and the best thing was to force Hou Rong to surrender the city, and at the worst of all, to break the enemy's will to fight and reduce the difficulty of attacking the city.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rui had too many tricks, and after a few tosses, Hou Rong was already desperate, but he didn't dare to surrender to the Wei army directly, so he conspired with Jiang Rulong and planned to abandon the city and flee with a few henchmen.

As soon as he fled, officials at all levels were in chaos, scrambling to be the first, dragging their families and fleeing out of the city, and the few defenders who did not have time to escape had already changed their military uniforms, hid in their homes, and pretended to be ordinary people.

In fact, the east city gate had already been opened, but it was already dark at that time, and the escapees were cautious all the way, and the city gate was only opened for a small part, and after the armed march at noon, no displaced people dared to sleep under the east city again, so it was not discovered for the time being.

Of course, Xu Rui insisted on staying in the city for another purpose, seeing that the fifteen-day period was approaching, and when Lingdong was captured, Xiao Jinwu should be treated for his injuries, but only penicillin was not enough, Xu Rui had to find a craftsman in the city to make a sharp weapon, but this matter was not enough for outsiders.

When Liu Yi learned the ins and outs, he was in a trance in his heart, and his first thought was "Can the battle still be fought like this?" ”

He stared at Xu Rui for a long time and couldn't speak, and he held back for a long time before he said: "Boy, in the future, you will be responsible for the siege of the city by my Northern Martial Guard, if there is a city that cannot be captured, I will ask you!" ”

"Hey ......"

Xu Rui's face froze, and he was about to protest, but he heard Liu Yi say: "Everything else can be done by you, but this matter is not discussed, you just use your mouth, but how many fewer sons can die, this lazy can't let you steal it anyway!" ”

After speaking, he ignored Xu Rui, who was sitting on wax, and took his own soldiers to kill the county government.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared into the city that Xu Rui let out a scream like a pig: "It's a loss, it's a loss!" ”

Two hours later, the soldiers of the 2,000 forward battalion completely controlled Lingdong and announced that this border city had changed its flag and banner.

In the early morning of the next day, the main force of the army led by Yang Weiyuan was late, and the last stumbling block to return to Great Wei had already opened its arms to them.

And the day before the Northern Wuwei conquered Lingdong, the 3,000 cavalry hundreds of miles away had just slaughtered a small town, and the army was repaired on the spot to replenish supplies.

At first, no one wanted to do such a frenzied thing, but now the soldiers were numb and dealt with quickly.

They didn't know that it was the fear brought by these head towers that made the homeless people flee like pigs and sheep, and finally became the last straw to break the defenders of Lingdong.

Shangguan Buda staggered past in front of the Rentou Tower, with a faint smile on his face, and the Wei soldiers and soldiers he met on the road nodded at him one after another.

He was originally a good person, and along the way, he made full use of his understanding of the geography, military and politics of the Southern Dynasties, helped the army to save the day several times, and gradually integrated into this deformed team.

Shangguan Buda walked up to Hong Qi's side, and Hong Qi beckoned to him.

"Lord Shangguan has come just in time, we are working out the route of tomorrow's march, and I would like to ask you to help you refer to the details."

"The general is polite, and the criminal officer must know everything."

Shangguan Buda hurriedly showed a flattered look, took the map from Hong Qi's hand and studied it carefully.

After a while, he pointed to the markers on the map and said, "Although it is a shortcut to the north from this place, the terrain is too treacherous, and if anyone sets up an ambush here, I am afraid that the army will suffer a great disaster." ”

Tian Zhong next to him was stunned, shook his head and said, "But if you want to bypass this place, you have to walk for two more days, and our army can't afford to delay." ”

Shangguan Buda smiled slightly, returned the map to Hong Qidao: "The criminal officer is just speaking truthfully, and how to decide depends on the three generals." ”

Hong Qi frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "That's it, this is the last journey of our army from the Southern Dynasty, we must be cautious, anyway, the enemy army is still hundreds of miles away, even if it takes two more days, it can afford to delay." ”

As soon as he heard this, Tian Zhong wanted to refute it, but seeing that Hong Qi had already made a decision, it was not good to say that Shangguan Buda had no different color on the surface, but his heartbeat rate increased slightly.

"There is another thing, just in an encounter, several brothers were killed, and they had to be buried in peace......"

Before Hong Qi's words were finished, Shangguan Buda immediately took the initiative to ask for help.

"What about the three generals in this matter, the criminal officer must bury the soldiers properly."

Perhaps because of the identity of the captive, although Shangguan Buda was treated politely, he had been rushing to do these dirty work, as if he would have to worry about his life if he didn't do so, Hong Qi and the three of them were not surprised, and they were not suspicious.

"In this way, there will be Lord Lao."

Hong Qi said with a smile, and quietly gave Zhang Beijiang a look.

Zhang Beijiang immediately understood, and said with a smile: "How can you let Lord Shangguan work alone, or should I go with Lord Shangguan." ”

In the end, it was better to prevent him, Shangguan Buda sneered in his heart, but his face was overjoyed, and he called a few soldiers, talked and laughed with Zhang Beijiang all the way, and went to bury the Wei soldiers who died in battle.

In the end, he was a prefect, and when it comes to such chores, there is indeed no one who can compare to Shangguan Buda, a simple burial of the corpse to him has many doorways, what pit orientation, digging depth, and the way of covering the soil are said, and every step conforms to the avenue of heaven and earth, which is conducive to the death of soldiers as soon as possible.

Shangguan Buda personally dug the pit and dug the soil, explained the steps while carrying the corpse, and after a while, the matter was handled properly, and Zhang Beijiang was dazzled and couldn't find the slightest fault.

And in the process of carrying the corpse, Shangguan Buda took advantage of the unpreparedness and secretly stuffed the note that had been holding in the palm of his hand into the armor of the corpse, and deliberately buried it a little shallower when cultivating the soil.

These small actions are naturally not something that can be easily seen through by an old man like Zhang Beijiang, and when this matter is dealt with, the army is almost finished, and immediately marches towards the next destination non-stop.

As soon as the army left, the newly buried grave suddenly squirmed, and the soldiers who were buried as corpses by Shangguan Buda actually broke out of the ground, sat on the ground and gasped for breath, how could they look like half a dead person?

It turned out that this person was a strange man who practiced the art of turtle breath hard, and escaped by faking his death.

When he gradually regained his vitality, he immediately turned over and jumped up, made a slight sense of his position, and ran north.

Two days later, Shangguan Buda's note had become a flying pigeon biography in Zhong Qingyuan's hand, he frowned and read it carefully, and suddenly laughed.

"God bless my dynasty, it turns out that the destination of the lone army is Lingdong City, there is a chance that Beiwuwei will meet them there, as long as our army rushes directly to Lingdong, there will be a chance to intercept Beiwuwei!"

The adjutant general took the note and read it, shook his head and said: "General, although our army rushing directly to Lingdong can greatly shorten the distance with the Northern Wuwei, but the flying pigeon is much faster than the march after all, even if there is a dark chess to help us delay for two days, it is still two days slower than the Northern Wuwei Division, and these two days are enough for them to flee to Northern Qi." ”

Zhong Qingyuan lowered his smile and said in a deep voice: "I naturally understand what you said, but this is the last chance for our army, even if there is little hope, the Black Flag Army will never give up!" Ordered the whole army to break away from the infantry at once, and all the cavalry to advance at full speed, and be sure to reach Lingdong within four days! ”
