Chapter 572 - Clever Tricks
The art of war is cloudy: ten rules surround it.
It means that when your own forces are ten times that of the enemy, you can surround the enemy.
Although Pang Yi's army lost a lot of men and horses in the battle between the two armies, it was not heavy because of the timely retreat.
No matter how you use the strategy, there are no immortals in the war, and no matter how small Lou Minxiao's losses are, it is impossible for her troops to be ten times that of the enemy.
On that day, she had General Shen come to help, but Pang Yi also had reinforcements including Cai Xian, the rebel general of Yingqiu, so no matter how it was calculated, it could not reach ten times more than Pang Yi.
Why, then, did she besiege Thorn City with a similar force?
To put it bluntly, its confidence comes from those two people~~ The young lord of Bixiao Palace and the chief manager of Gu who are more divine than Yelusheng, the princess of Beicang.
Pang Yi is not stupid, she did not put the reinforcements in Thorn City together, but in the county seat in front of Thorn City~~ Orange Tree City.
In this way, Lou Minxiao also asked General Shen to retreat to Lingyi City behind him.
Huangwu retreated, and the prince and daughter of Beicang were captured, no need to ask, their task was also to recapture the city occupied by Xizhen, not to return to Beijing.
They didn't know that in fact, Dongfang Ling Tian had no intention of returning these cities, because according to the previous critical situation, it would be quite good if she could make the three kingdoms withdraw at the same time, after all, she was one enemy and three enemies, she really couldn't bear it, the treasury was already empty, and she really couldn't pay the military salary.
But Chu Yuran's secret action and Gu Nanfeng's outstanding performance made her temporarily change her mind when the two of them had a request for themselves.
Another request was to assist Lou Minxiao in further repelling Pang Yi and recovering at least three cities.
And this is another reason why she is so happy to correct the name of Bixiao Palace.
As soon as Thorn City was besieged, the reinforcements of Orange City quickly got the news, but the reinforcement general Li Wan also knew that it was impossible to fight Pang Yi inside and outside, because there was still Shen Yuan's army on the side, just waiting for him to lead the army over and let her become a sandwich cake.
Therefore, she did not dare to act rashly.
But she couldn't just be stiff, watching Thorn City being besieged, and after thinking for a long time, she decided to send someone to take the initiative to ask General Pang. General Pang said that when she needed to move, he would give her news. Now that the two armies of Pang and Li are not far away, the two Heavenly Xuanwu Venerables sent to her by His Highness can come in handy.
Pang Yi in Thorn City is taking out a bag at this moment. Everyone didn't know that before leaving, His Royal Highness had given her three tips.
The successful crossing of Li Mountain with the plan of the golden cicada to get out of the shell is the opportunity granted by His Royal Highness. and the attack on the city of thorns was the first of these; Timely withdrawal of troops to the garrison to reduce losses and preserve strength is the second plan. How to skillfully solve the dilemma of the siege of Thorn City must be the third trick she wants to open.
Everyone had been deported, and she was the only one in the house. Looking at the last bag, she couldn't help but pray in her heart: now is the emergency moment that she can't solve, don't be wrong! If it's not a way to get out of trouble and fight back, she's finished!
Taking a deep breath, she stabilized her emotions before slowly opening the bag and pulling out a piece of plain paper that had been folded several times, unfolding it layer by layer.
However......
She stared at the blank paper with her eyes wide to the extreme, and turned the plain note upside down in disbelief and looked at it several times, before finally determining that what she was holding in her hand was actually a wordless blank paper!
"How so? How so? She lost her voice, "Impossible...... It shouldn't be......"
"It really can't be!" At this moment, a voice clearly entered the ear, "Pang Yi, the deity took your bag and destroyed it, do you know what it represents?" The Tianxuan master who represents Xizhen is nothing in the eyes of the deity, and it means that the deity can freely enter and leave the barracks and take your head at any time. The reason why the deity didn't do this is to give you a chance, so before the deity changes his mind, go out of the city and surrender! ”
Pang Yi listened to this passage in great surprise.
What surprised her was not that the other party could transmit sound to her~~ Xizhen's Tianxuanwu Venerable and all Tianxuanwuzun could transmit sound, which was nothing unusual.
What surprised her was the matter of the bag, obviously only she and His Highness knew, and there was no third person who knew about it, so how did the other party find out and steal it unknowingly? You know, the bag has always been placed close to her!
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The eight Heavenly Xuanwu Venerables sent by His Highness with the reinforcements were really nothing in front of this person, they took turns to be on duty every day and night, but none of them could detect that someone was coming in!
"It's really ......" Pang Yi gritted her teeth, "a bunch of waste!" Incompetent waste! ”
"It turns out that Lou Minxiao besieged but did not attack, just waiting for the general to surrender!" She gritted her teeth and said, "But Ben will be fortunate to have the grace of His Highness's support and trust, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death?" Even if you fight to lose both, you will never surrender to survive, smear Your Highness's face, and tarnish Your Highness's reputation! ”
"General Pang is really backbone, Gu is really immense, but it's a pity that ...... It's a pity......" The sudden voice was full of regret, but Pang Yi heard it with a straight hair in her heart, and looked around: "Where are you?" Come out! Come out for me! ”
If you can pick her up, it is obvious that this person is still by her side, not far from her.
But the weird thing is that she can't see people at all!
It's a little scary!
"You have stealth mysteries, don't you?" Pang Yi suddenly thought of something, and the straightened hairs softened back, "Don't pretend to be a ghost, we also have this kind of secret technique in the Xizhen Kingdom, you can't fool me!" ”
"General Pang is so knowledgeable!" The woman replied in a timely manner, as if talking to her beside her, "But, what can you do if you can't see through it or not?" ”
Pang Yi was stunned, and then dejected.
Oh, yes...... She admits that it's stealth, what can she do, and she can't crack it, or can she easily kill herself, but she can't kill her~~ I can't even see a ghost, even if the martial arts are comparable, it's okay!
However, since she didn't kill herself, it means that it is still negotiable.
"What the hell do you want?" Pang Yi sat down, "As long as I don't surrender, other things can be discussed." ”
The woman's voice smiled: "It's okay to let you kill your Highness?" ”
"Wishful thinking!" Pang Yi was furious, "If you want to kill him, step on my corpse first!" ”
"Corpses? Whew! The woman scoffed, "Is it worthwhile to be worthwhile?" So excited, could it be...... Crush on him? ”
"Nonsense!" Pang Yi glared around fiercely, "If you blaspheme Your Highness again, I will fight with you!" ”
"Tsk, look at the way you want to eat people......" The woman chuckled, "It's obvious that my mind has been pierced, and I'm angry, and I have to say no, what can I do if I admit it, and no one knows......"
"Ah~~!" Pang Yi yelled, "Get out of here!" Get out of here! Get lost! ”
The soldiers on duty outside rushed in when they heard the voice: "General! ”
They looked left and right, but there was no one around, only the general himself, couldn't help but be stunned, I don't know what happened to the general, glaring at the blood-red eyes, like crazy, strange and scary.
"Get out! Get out of here! Pang Yi yelled out of shape, but when the soldiers hurriedly retreated, he shouted viciously, "Wait! Let the eight of them come to meet the general! ”
