Chapter 12: Clever Trick An Beiwu (3)

The wheels slowly turned, making a "creaking" sound, and Su was lazily lying on the cart with a straw in her mouth, with a small bag of millet on her head, squinting her eyes, basking in the sun and pretending to sleep, just like a beach trip.

The arrow wound in his chest had healed inexplicably, and Su was worried that this fact was too shocking, so he had to keep pretending to be injured, which allowed him to be blatantly lazy.

The Wei army quietly retreated under the cover of night, from midnight to afternoon, and walked exhausted with the wounded and baggage, even Yang Weiyuan, the Marquis of Jingwu, was also dusty, with a tired face, and there was no one like Su so chic.

"Young master, why do I feel that we are not going east?"

Xu Fang climbed onto the cart and asked curiously.

"Shh......h

Sue closed her eyelids and raised a finger to her lips to signal him to silence.

Xu Fang suddenly became curious, leaned into Su's ear and whispered, "Young Master, are we really not going east?" ”

Soe yawned and nodded, "yes, let's head south now." ”

Xu Fangqi said: "Didn't our Hou Ye say that he would go sixty miles to the east and then return to Great Wei, why did he go south?" ”

Sue sat up, stretched, and explained nonchalantly.

"Originally, of course, we were going to go east, cross the pond and then return north to Wei, but if you look at the speed of the army, we only set off a few hours earlier than the Black Flag Army, and if we really go east, we will be intercepted by the Black Flag Army if we can't run for sixty miles.

At that time, our army is exhausted, and there is no danger to defend, the Black Flag Army has one person and three horses, and a random group charges, won't it be to annihilate the whole army?

So, of course, we had to sneak the Black Flag Army first, let them run sixty miles east first, and then catch up with us in the south, only then would we have enough time to prepare to meet the enemy. ”

Xu Fang suddenly realized, gave a thumbs up and said: "High, really high, the young master is really a god!" ”

In the past few days, Xu Fang's sycophants have been getting louder and louder, and Su was not used to it at first, and he was a little embarrassed, but now if he can't hear him say a few beautiful words in the middle of the night, he feels uncomfortable.

Am I corrupted and depraved?

Su Zheng was happily worried, but he heard Xu Fang say: "Hey, no, young master, the army left so many traces along the way, how could the Black Flag Army be led by us obediently?" Wouldn't it be dangerous if they went straight south? ”

Su Hehe said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is a person they trust very much who will tell them that the Wei army will definitely march east for sixty miles, and as for the traces that appear on the road, there is a high probability that they will be regarded as a suspicious tactic." ”

As he spoke, Su pointed to the two horses following the cart and said, "What's more, young master, I have left my back hand, once the Black Flag Army really catches up, we will flee immediately." ”

Xu Fang looked at the two groups of skinny old horses, pouted and said, "Young Master, your vision of challenging horses is also unreliable, how can these two animals outrun the Luo Heng horses of the Black Flag Army?" ”

Su waved his hand and said, "We don't need to outrun the Black Flag Army, we just need to outrun the two-legged infantry." ”

"Outperform the infantry?"

Xu Fang scratched his head, not understanding what the young master meant for a while.

How could he have thought that the Black Flag Army was only 3,000, and it was impossible to form an encirclement of the 50,000 army, and once the Wei army was defeated, it could only pursue high-value targets, such as the commander Yang Weiyuan, or annihilate a large number of infantry on the spot.

Therefore, as long as they run in the opposite direction to the Chinese army and overtake the scattered infantry, they will be able to escape for a while, and as for the crisis behind, they cannot be prepared for now.

In fact, Su was very confident in his own strategy, the enemy was too dependent on dark chess, and would not consider other routes before advancing sixty miles eastward, and when they came around a big bend, the Wei army should have been ready to wait for work.

The two horses brought in were actually to guard against Yang Weiyuan, this time Su used a lot of thought to deceive the dark chess, and even planned to use the dark chess for his own use, and the only people who knew the real route of the march were Yang Weiyuan.

If the Black Flag Army is really deceived, then Yang Weiyuan can most likely rule out the suspicion of dark chess, but if even Yang Weiyuan is a dark chess, then Su can directly give up Beiwuwei and run away alone, because this army has no hope of being saved.

"Woo......"

Suddenly, a strange cry like a thunderbolt on a sunny day came, and the sound was so loud that Su who was sitting on the board car was startled, and the Wei army was even more frightened, and suddenly fell into chaos.

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

Xu Fang jumped off the cart in fright, grabbed the reins, and tried to control the startled horse.

Xu Rui's face was also pale, and he hurriedly looked around, only to see a huge canyon entrance appearing in front of the army, fan-shaped, like a big horn.

Just like the tuyere on the earth, whenever a wind blows, it will make a thunderous "whining" sound, like a hundred ghosts roaring in unison, and the terrifying ghost crying wolf howl just now came from there.

Thinking of this, and seeing Wei Jun being taken by the gust of wind and falling into chaos, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed Su's mind.

He looked around carefully, and found that the canyon was not large, and the sides were not very steep, and the gentle slope was full of sparse trees, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, leaving only the withered yellow branches, which looked very desolate.

"What is this place?"

Su stared, and hurriedly took out the map, his fingers along the markers that had already been made, extending downward, comparing the limited information on the map with the references along the way, and his face became more and more serious.

There was no Grand Canyon in front of him on the map, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it into account when he planned the march route at the beginning, but this canyon was clearly in front of him, how did it come about?

Suddenly, Su patted his head fiercely and laughed: "Wrong, the army is wrong, I'll just say, how can it not be an accident if you use this kind of messy map to march and fight?!" ”

Su said and laughed, as if he had discovered a new continent, the great geographical discovery of mankind originated from a lost way, but he didn't expect that his way to deal with the Black Flag Army also originated from a lost way, and the history is really amazingly similar!

Xu Fang on the side was dumbfounded, did the young master of the heart be crazy, how could anyone be so happy when he took the wrong path?

He was thinking about whether he should go to a medical officer to come over and have a look, but Su had already jumped off the cart and awkwardly stepped onto the war horse.

Xu Fang was suddenly shocked: "Young Master, where are you going?" ”

"The big tent of the Chinese army!"

Su shouted nonsense, and rode his lean horse towards the chaotic Chinese army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

Liu Yi lifted the curtain at the door of the tent and walked in violently, but before the person arrived, the angry voice first penetrated the ears of several people.

"What's the matter, why did the army suddenly stop, our army has already deviated from the course, and if it has been delayed here for a long time, how can it be possible to reach the predetermined position before the sun sets?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Weiyuan held a book of soldiers without raising his head, and Gonggong Cao put down the teacup in his hand and pointed to Xu Rui on the side.

Liu Yi suddenly understood, it must be Xu Rui's moth again, walked in front of him in a few big steps, looked down, he was holding the pen in a funny posture, writing and drawing on rice paper, not to mention how serious his expression was.

Liu Yi was slightly stunned, there are not many things that can make this kid calm down and prepare carefully, and he was suddenly full of curiosity about the content on the paper.

But when he took a closer look, he saw that the lines on the paper were criss-crossed, chaotic, and he couldn't see what it was, just like a ghost drawing, what kind of magical thing?

"This kid is starting to do his job again!"

Anger rushed to the top of his head, Liu Yi opened his big hand, and was about to grab Su's back collar and teach him a good lesson, but Su suddenly put down the pen in his hand and excitedly put the "ghost drawing" on a stack of paper.

It turns out that there is not only one "ghost painting talisman", but a thick stack!

"That's it! Hey, General Liu is also here, just in time! ”

Su Yi grabbed Liu Yi's wrist and ran to Yang Weiyuan and Cao Gonggong with his stack of treasures.

Liu Yi was baffled by him, and hurriedly looked at Yang Weiyuan, Yang Weiyuan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, shook his head, and said to Su with a wry smile: "You can talk about your clever plan now, right?" ”

Su patted the stack of "ghost painting talismans" on his hand, and said with a smile: "Everything is here, please make equipment according to my sketches, and keep it so that the Black Flag Army can drink a pot!" ”

"You say this is a drawing of the machine?"

Yang Weiyuan took the sketch, only glanced at it, and his face suddenly froze, it was full of reticles and notes, as well as messy symbols, none of which could be understood.

He handed the sketch to Father-in-law Cao, who scratched his head and was confused, and handed the sketch to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi didn't look at it, slapped the sketch on the table with a "snap", and said angrily: "Boy, do you think marching and fighting is child's play?" Let the army stop and wait for you to spend these ghost talismans, if you can't say why, see if Lao Tzu doesn't break your dog's legs! ”

Su had long expected General Liu's quick temper, and he would definitely not give up if he didn't make it clear, so he smiled slightly and leaned into his ear to explain.

Without saying a few words, Liu Yi suddenly stared, grabbed Su's wrist, and exclaimed, "Is this true?!" ”

Sue nodded confidently.

"Okay, old man, let's go and prepare!"

Liu Yi suddenly brightened, laughed, turned around and strode out of the camp.

Yang Weiyuan and Gonggong Cao were suddenly surprised, and they didn't know what Su told him, which made this quick temper instantly feel free.

Su didn't explain, and instead said to Yang Weiyuan: "Marshal, those scouts sent out are okay, right?" ”

Yang Weiyuan said: "Ben Shuai has already made a screening, at least the three generals who lead the army cannot be dark chess people." ”

Su Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, we can let the army set up camp." ”

Yang Weiyuan was stunned: "The army deviated from the route, and it was still more than thirty miles away from the predetermined location, and this place is a canyon, how can there be a place to camp?" ”

Su smiled: "It's good, it's good, if it's not good, how can you find this place?" I think fortune is starting to take our side! As for the place to camp, there is always a place to camp, for example, there is a flat place in the canyon, enough for a large army to camp? ”

Yang Weiyuan's cheeks twitched: "I don't know what kind of edge you fight, but if the army is camped in the canyon, the enemy only needs to seal the two ends, and then climb up the mountain, and release arrows and rolling stones from the top of our army's head, and within an hour our army will be in chaos and self-defeating!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't ...... handsome"

Su waved his hand, sneered, and gritted his teeth: "I just want the Black Flag Army to go up the mountain, as long as they go up the mountain, it will be difficult to come down again!" ”

Yang Weiyuan frowned, but Gonggong Cao heard the outright murderous intent in his words, and couldn't help but shudder.

Dozens of miles away, more than a dozen corpses of the Black Flag Army were piled up on a board cart and drove towards the army according to the marks left along the way.

As Su expected, the Black Flag Army thought it was a suspicious plan after discovering the traces of the army's southward turn, and did not change the route of the whole army, but sent a small group of scouts to explore the way.

However, these scouts were all wiped out by the 3,000 cavalry of the Northern Guard, and then the corpses were transported back to the army in carts.

Originally, there were not so many cavalry in the Northern Guard, but at Su's suggestion, Yang Weiyuan completely integrated all the scouts, light cavalry and the only formed cavalry unit of nearly 1,000 people, and was led by Hong Qi, the general of the left battalion, who was almost not suspected of hidden chess, and followed the army for thirty miles, specifically responsible for sweeping the tail work.

"General, this is the last batch of Black Flag scouts, grandma's, killed more than thirty of our brothers, if they hadn't been surrounded by groups, maybe they would have let them escape. Oh, what do we do now? ”

Zhang Beijiang, the bearded lieutenant, hugged Hong Qi with a fist.

Hong Qi took out a stack of brocade bags from the inner lining of the cuirass, which was handed to him by the marshal Yang Weiyuan before leaving, and asked him to complete one task and open the next one, and then act according to the plan.

Of course, it was Su's secret plan, in order to avoid being informed in advance by the dark chess, he had to use this interesting way, although Hong Qi should not be a person of the dark chess, but no one could guarantee that none of the three thousand cavalry had any dissenting intentions.

Segmented commands can prevent leaks to the greatest extent, ensure the suddenness of each small action, even if a small task is leaked in the middle, it will not make the whole big task fail, Su calls this method "modular".

Hong Qi opened a new bag in order, and there was only one line of small words on the note inside: "Go north for thirty miles to rest." ”

Adjutant General Zhang Beijiang also saw the note and exclaimed, "Aren't we joining the army?" Now everyone only has three days' rations on them, and if they encounter the enemy army, they won't last long! ”

Hong Qi glanced at him and said angrily: "What so much nonsense, what kind of handsome people you said can't think of?" Go and give the order, the whole army will go thirty miles north, and we will spend the night there tonight!" ”

At the same time, the 3,000 Black Flag Army that set off from Yishui City galloped all the way and finally arrived sixty miles east of Yishui City, but not to mention the 50,000 Northern Wuwei Army, there were no 500 rabbits.

Zhong Qingyuan was only at this time completely sure that he had fallen for the Wei army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and there were two possibilities in front of him, either the Wei army returned to attack Yishui, or the army withdrew from other directions, either of which possibilities would be very fatal to him.

After all, he was the first young brave general of the Southern Dynasty in the mouth of King Wuling, and in the face of the complex situation where the secret chess information was wrong and countless clues were difficult to distinguish between true and false, Zhong Qingyuan showed extremely strong military talent.

After a simple analysis, he judged that there were still 3,000 defenders in Yishui City, and the Black Flag Army was extremely mobile, sixty miles was too short, and the Wei army would never dare to attack Yishui at the risk of annihilation.

After hearing that all the scouts who had gone south had not returned, he immediately concluded that the main force of the Wei army should be fleeing southward, so he rushed south with a large army.

From east to south, the Black Flag Army spared a large circle, traveling nearly a hundred miles at a time, and the Wei army could use this time to jump out of the encirclement at any time.

Zhong Qingyuan was in a hurry, racing against time, and there was only one thought in his head, that is, he had to catch up with and entangle the Wei army for at least six days, and he couldn't let these 50,000 boiled ducks fly even if he tried his best!
