Chapter 154: Strategizing

Xiao Minglang stood in the city tower, calmly, taking in all the ups and downs on the battlefield.

On the contrary, Zhu Chaoshi was not so calm, he looked at the enemy army under the city with frightened eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Where did this guy learn the ghost trick!" So mysterious! ”

"It's not some ghost trick, it's the Ancient Maze, the Turtle Hidden Array." Xiao Minglang glanced at Zhu Chaoshi lightly, turned around and commanded the soldier holding the drumstick: "Hurry up and let Limu come back!" ”

The drummer received the command and immediately vigorously drummed three times at the cymbal.

Limu was about to continue the attack, when he suddenly heard the sound of cymbals behind him, stopped suddenly, hesitated, and finally turned back.

At this time, Tan Daoji, who was standing among the ten thousand armies in a chariot, found that there seemed to be signs of retreat from the wood, and at the same time waved the main command flag of his left and right hands, and shouted: "All to this general!" Don't let him run! ”

The left and right flanks received the order, formed a flank attack on the left and right, showed their bayonets, and quickly approached Limu.

Limu didn't dare to fight, turned around and ran towards the city gate.

Seeing Limu returning, Xiao Minglang immediately shouted at the soldiers stationed at the city gate, "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

"No!" Zhu Chaoshi waved his hand to stop.

Limu arrived at the city gate first, and knocked on the door to echo, but no one answered, and the closed iron gate did not move at all, and could only watch thousands of soldiers surround it.

Xiao Minglang pulled Zhu Chaoshi's scarf and said angrily, "What are you doing?!" Open the gates! ”

Zhu Chaoshi panicked: "Young Master Xiao, this door can't be opened!" The enemy army has approached the city, once the city gate is opened, the entire Tongzhou will fall! This Li Mu Shaoxia did not listen to the command and went out of the city to meet the battle without authorization, could he not let the people of the whole city lose their lives? ! ”

"Hahaha! Zhu Xiao'er, she didn't even dare to open the city gate, was she afraid of becoming like this?! ”

A loud laugh from Tan Daoji came from the downstairs of the city, slowly floating from far to near.

"If you can't even save a single person, how can you save the lives of the whole city?! If you don't save it, I'll go! Xiao Minglang pushed Zhu Chaoshi to the side, and was about to turn around and go downstairs, when he suddenly saw a soldier stop him and said, "Son, slow down!" Look! ”

Seeing that the enemy's bayonet was only half a foot away from him, he simply jumped in the air and stepped on the soldier's head and leaped up the castle tower!

Limu is also a soldier of Taoyuan, how can he be surrounded and suppressed alive!

The soldiers on the left and right pounced, and Limu flew away like a feather.

"Who the hell is that kid?! How easily you can jump over a 50-foot high wall?! Tan Daoji was secretly frightened, and he didn't dare to underestimate this young man anymore, and at the same time, he was also frustrated that he missed the opportunity to attack the city.

Unwilling to wait, he immediately ordered to move into the ladder and storm the city gates.

The castle towers were also busy, or falling rocks interrupted the ladders, or arrows to stop the enemy.

"All the soldiers obey the order! You can only defend but not attack! ”

"Yes!"

After Xiao Minglang finished arranging, he turned around and strode forward, dragged Limu off the city tower, and scolded: "Why did you go out of the city to meet the battle without permission?!" If something happens to you, how can I explain it to Yan'er?! ”

Limu had never seen Xiao Minglang so angry, he was stunned for a while, and replied with a weak heart: "I just want to find out what kind of ghost formation he is......"

Xiao Minglang pulled away from Mu to the general's hall, and said angrily: "You can be like a mountain?!" Did you know you almost ruined your plan?! ”

Limu shook his head weakly and said no more.

Only then did he realize the mistake he had made because of his momentary whimsy and rush to establish a military industry.

Xiao Minglang saw that Limu lowered his head and was silent, his anger gradually subsided, he walked quickly into the main seat of the General's Hall and sat down, and said, "Limu, tell me about the situation you just encountered. ”

"Yes! It was a square formation with a square outside and a square circle inside, with a flag bearer on the east, west, south and north sides, and a main flag bearer in the center of the formation. The soldiers adjusted their formation according to the orders of the standard-bearer, and were both defensive and offensive. The battle is meticulous, and there is no gap to enter! Limu recalled the situation of the fight just now and said carefully.

Zhu Chaoshi on the side was even more panicked when he heard this, and cursed angrily: "But I haven't crossed paths for a few years, I didn't expect Tan Daoji to learn such a secret technique!" ”

Xiao Minglang opened the chess box on the table, gently grabbed a handful of chess pieces, placed them on the table, and explained: "The Turtle Hidden Array has been improved by Cao Cao back then, and it has been much streamlined, and then Zhang Liao has followed it, but it has no form and no god, and the power of the Turtle Hidden Array has long been lost in the past. The surface of the Turtle Hiding Array used by Tan Daoji is complex and weird, but in fact it is just an empty shell. ”

Zhu Chaoshi stepped forward hopefully and asked, "Xiao Gongzi has a way to deal with him?" ”

Xiao Minglang bowed slightly, "The enemy army has already shown symptoms of dehydration, and it is the time for us to attack." He pointed to the graphics that had just been placed on the table, and said slowly: "It is not difficult to break this formation, it is also divided into four directions to attack, first of all, south, south, south The target is the three standard-bearers. Without the command of the standard-bearer, the formation will be chaotic. Send another team to lurk on the back of the enemy army in the west, and wait until sunset, and then take advantage of the situation to attack! ”

Zhu Chaoshi asked, "Why wait until sunset?" ”

Limu Lingguang moved, and said in surprise: "It's because of the light!" The sun was setting in the west, and we were behind them, and their view must have been blocked by the reflection of the light, so that we could go forward! ”

"I see!" Zhu Chaoshi was overjoyed and asked Xiao Minglang for instructions: "In this case, let me play the striker!" ”

Xiao Minglang got up and stopped: "General, slow down!" What I just said is not enough to break the formation and attack strongly, and it will only hurt both sides. The best way to do this is to use the virtual to set off the solid. ”

"How do you use fiction to set off reality?" Zhu Chaoshi asked again.

Xiao Minglang walked down the hall and said with a smile: "The order of attack and the formation remain the same, and they will also attack from the southeast, north and south, but they can only feint, not fight, in this way, it will cost him two or three times, and when his physical strength is exhausted and the soldiers are sluggish, he can be broken in one fell swoop!" ”

Zhu Chaoshi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly: "So good!" According to Mr. Xiao's wishes, when should I act? ”

Xiao Minglang looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was shining high in the sky, and it was noon, and he was overjoyed, "The scorching sun is in the sky, this is a good opportunity for us to wait, General Zhu, according to the instructions I just had, act immediately!" However, the general needs to remember that if Tan Daoji is defeated, he must not be captured, let alone chased and killed, but only leave the west to survive. ”

"Let Tan Dao Ji go? Why is that? ”

Xiao Minglang smiled mysteriously, "I have my own arrangements." ”

"Yes!" Zhu Chaoshi didn't ask any more, bowed his hand, and walked out of the general's hall with his saber in the dust.

Xiao Minglang then turned to Limu Dao: "Take the main token in Tan Daoji's hand, are you sure?" ”

Limu couldn't wait, and happily replied: "That guy is not my opponent, don't worry, Childe!"

"Okay, I'll leave this task to you, but as I just said, leave the west side to survive." Xiao Minglang patted Limu's shoulder and solemnly instructed.

"Don't worry, Childe!" Limu agreed, turned around and jumped out.

The noisy general's hall instantly fell silent and turned outside the city tower.

Xiao Minglang stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, looking in all directions, holding his breath and listening.

The first trumpet sounded, the gates opened, and the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed out like beasts of prey.

However, after less than four or five rounds of fighting, they returned to the battalion.

In less than half an hour, under the leadership of Zhu Chaoshi, a second attack was launched, the enemy had not yet recovered from the previous battle, and immediately resisted the second attack, their physical strength and reaction ability decreased significantly, and the formation was no longer unbreakable.

But they still took it when they saw it, and retreated back to the camp, only to wait for the third real major attack.

At this time, Tan Daoji was already in chaos, watching the 150,000 army being shattered.

As the third horn sounded, in Tongzhou City, 100,000 troops attacked together, and the Turtle Hiding Array arranged by Tan Daoji was like a hollow egg, easily crushed.

Limu aimed at the opportunity, kicked a spear from the ground, and the big banner of Liu Zi standing on Tan Daoji's head was cut off at the waist.

Tan Daoji was shaken by the force and fell off the chariot.

I don't know who shouted from below: "The general ordered someone to kill!" Liu Jun is down! Run! ”

When everyone heard this, they threw down their weapons, ran to the ground, and surrendered to the ground, and the 150,000 troops levied by the Queen Mother were defeated!

Tan Daoji wiped the sand all over his face, stood up dizzily, looked around blankly, and shouted in despair: "Defeated...... Completely defeated! ”

Limu caught up, raised his sword, and threatened: "The remnants of the army are defeated, Hugh has to escape!" ”

Tan Daoji hurriedly picked up a short knife from the ground and made a final struggle, "You, who are you?!" I don't believe that Zhu Xiao'er has such a great ability to break my turtle hiding array, there must be a master behind him to help, say, who is it?! ”

Limu lowered his head and snickered for a while, but he didn't answer, still trying to scare him away, he took a few steps closer and waved his sword, "Look at the sword!" ”

"Not good!" Tan Daoji screamed, and was so frightened that he fled.

However, there were already people blocking the southeast, north and south, and Tan Daoji had to run towards the uninhabited west road.

He stumbled all the way to escape, the armor on his body was already in tatters, the helmet and the matching sword were long gone, if the enemy appeared at this time, all that could resist was an old bone.

Pity a founding general, and now he has ended up in such a miserable position.

Fortunately, there were no pursuers along the way.

Tandoji came all the way unhindered to a junction leading to Kyoto and hesitated.

In front of him, there were two roads, one flat and silent, uninhabited. The other, the red dust is rolling, and there are more human tracks.

Tan Daoji smiled, "So indulge in smoke!" As he spoke, he picked up a path with wheel footprints and walked.

Sure enough, the smoke footprints were just a blind obstacle, and the road was still unimpeded, and there were no pursuers in sight.

With a heart of schadenfreude, Tan Daoji finally escaped from Tongzhou in a hurry and returned to Kyoto safely to recover his life.

Tongzhou, in the general's hall, Xiao Minglang heard the last three drums and knew that the battle was a complete victory, so he stretched his brows, returned to his seat and sat down to pour tea and drink himself.

Zhu Chaoshi returned victorious, and happily Xiao Minglang returned to his life, "Thanks to Xiao Gongzi's clever plan, that Tan Daoji has been forced to flee, and we have also captured 100,000 soldiers and horses!" Just ......"

"What other doubts does the general have?" Xiao Minglang raised his head and asked.

Zhu Chaoshi asked cautiously: "I know that I shouldn't ask more, but ...... Why did Childe release Tan Daoji alone? Since Childe intended to let him go, why did he let him flee to the west? ”

The corners of Xiao Minglang's mouth rose slightly, and then a smile appeared, "Since General Tan has placed Cao Cao's Turtle Hiding Array to give it to me, it is not rude to come and go, Huarong Dao is considered a meeting gift from me to him." The general should not only think about the joy of his escape, but think about the difficulties when he handed over to the imperial court. ”
