Not to mention that Tang Yu led Li Xun into the deep valley and used the terrain to win.

Chen Tai was trapped in Funiupo, and ordered someone to send a message to Zhou Hao to give him half a day to think about whether to surrender.

Zhou Hao ordered people to continue to investigate, and at the beginning, he didn't know what the soldiers and horses of Chentai on the mountain were doing hidden in the forest, and he only heard all kinds of cutting sounds, which were endless.

After a long time, I saw Chen Tai's subordinates using trees to build a fence wall on the mountain. The scout reported to him, and Zhou Hao smiled when he heard this: "Chen Tai pretended to consider surrendering, but he fortified it on the mountain. It is said that this person is very wise, and it seems that what he said is not true! Trapped in the Funiu Slope, even if he is fortified, he only needs to use fire to attack, and there is nowhere to escape! Since he is not really thinking about it, then he will be buried in it!"

So he ordered the soldiers to set fire to the mountains and forests, and to burn Chen Tai and his soldiers and horses.

The fire was raging, and the smoke was billowing and filled in an instant.

Seeing that Funiupo was surrounded by fire, Zhou Hao laughed proudly.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden chaos in the rear, and countless enemy troops came from nowhere and launched a surprise attack.

Zhou Hao's soldiers and horses didn't have time to react, and the formation collapsed instantly.

"Reinforcements?!" Zhou Hao was shocked, and hurriedly reorganized his troops and horses to meet the enemy.

It turned out that it was Chen Tai who came from the rear, and when he didn't react here, he killed him unexpectedly, and 20,000 soldiers and horses rolled in like a wave.

How could it be? Zhou Hao couldn't believe it, and said in his heart that Chen Tai's soldiers and horses were obviously trapped in Funiupo and should have died under the fire, so how could they appear from the rear? Could it be that the other party could not fly?

Even if the other party can fly, he should be able to see it. Is it a retreat?

Don't think about it, because it was too unexpected, Zhou Hao's soldiers and horses were instantly defeated. Even if the forces are superior, when there is a rout, it is basically impossible to prevent it.

Chen Tai galloped wildly and came directly towards Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao hurriedly turned around in a panic, ordered the deputy general to break the rear, and led the rout to flee to the main formation.

During this period, he was almost caught up by Chen Tai, but fortunately, the deputy general sacrificed his life to stop him and was stabbed to death by Chen Tai instead of him, so he escaped smoothly.

Chen Tai killed Zhou Hao, quickly turned around, and led the soldiers and horses to raid from the side, killing Sima Fa, who was besieging the city.

Sima Fa didn't know the situation on the side of Funiupo, and when he saw the flames soaring into the sky and the smoke billowing out, he thought that Zhou Hao had succeeded. When he hurried to attack the city, he saw Zhou Hao leading the defeated soldiers to flee back in a panic, and the Chen Tai army in the rear was killed.

I thought it was foolproof, but I didn't expect this to happen. When Zhou Hao came to the front, he hurriedly asked, "Why is this the case when the military attack Funiupo?"

Zhou Hao replied in a panic: "The last general doesn't understand either! Obviously trapped Chen Tai in Funiu Slope and used fire tricks, why would he come out of the rear of our army and be caught off guard! Could it be Ning Ze's spell?"

"Ridiculous!" Sima Fa frowned, "From this, there must be a secret passage in the Funiu Slope that we don't know about." ”

He really guessed correctly! Funiu Slope seems ordinary, and there is indeed another way down the mountain, but it is relatively hidden, and the locals will know about it. If it weren't for the help of the locals to make the sand table, Chen Tai would not have discovered this place, let alone come up with the idea.

Chen Tai deliberately delayed time at Funiupo, and while ordering people to cut down trees to build defenses, in fact, the army quietly descended the mountain from the unknown secret road and went around to the rear of Zhou Hao.

This is the so-called bright plank road, dark Chen Cang!

Zhou Hao really hit the plan, so he was defeated.

The defeated soldiers and Sima Fa's army were united in one place, and in the face of Chen Tai, who was killed from the side, Sima Fa put on a position and quickly stabilized his footing.

Chen Tai led the troops to storm several times, but he couldn't take advantage.

Zhou Hao took the opportunity to rectify the soldiers and horses, and led the troops to turn around and kill Chen Tai, preparing to be ashamed.

After a long fierce battle, countless defeated soldiers suddenly appeared in the south, and they fled back in chaos.

Sima Fa recognized that it was Li Xun's department, and he didn't know why he was defeated, and if the defeated soldiers rushed directly to the main formation, it was possible to break his own soldiers and horses, leading to chaos. So he immediately ordered the troops and horses in front to meet each other, forbidding the convergence of the defeated troops, and asking the other side to turn around and retreat to the rear.

There was a skirmish between the defeated army and Sima Fa's front formation, but they quickly turned around honestly and did not break through the formation.

Sima Fa didn't see Li Xun and ordered someone to bring back a deserter general and ask why this was so.

The general confessed 1510, lured Tang Yu into the deep valley of Dantong Stream, and honestly reported the surprise attack.

Sima Fa frowned slightly, it was expected that Tang Yu's soldiers and horses would be killed from the south, and it was possible to form a trap with Chen Tai, and Ouyang Chun would inevitably go out of the city and take advantage of the situation to attack. If you continue to rout and charge into battle, your morale will decline, and even if you have the advantage of troops, you may not be able to suffer losses.

Thinking of this, he decisively ordered the siege to be stopped, and the whole army quickly retreated thirty miles.

By the time Tang Yu led his troops to kill, Sima Fa had already set up camp thirty miles away, and the whole army entered a defensive position and began to gather the rout and reorganize the troops and horses.

Although Sima Fa can't be defeated head-on, at least let the other party withdraw temporarily, which is also a big victory.

Ouyang Chun welcomed Chen Tai and Tang Yu into the city and praised the two.

Chen Tai and Tang Yu are not simple, as long as they are not facing Sima Fa, they are actually quite strong.

Tang Yu took advantage of the terrain to defeat the enemy army, and even captured the enemy general Li Xun and brought him to Ouyang Chun.

Li Xun kept scolding, and he couldn't be quiet at all.

So Ouyang Chun ordered him to be beheaded, and his head was hung on the high part of the city wall to deter the enemy.

Knowing that the general Li Xun was killed, Zhou Hao was extremely angry and wanted to lead his troops to attack Danjun and avenge him.

Sima Fa dissuaded Zhou Hao, saying that impulsiveness would only do bad things. Although the opponent won a game, the same strategy could not be effective again. Your own side still has the advantage of troops, as long as you fight steadily, you will be able to win.

Zhou Hao calmed down, obeyed Sima Fa's orders, first collected all the defeated troops, calculated the battle damage and rectified the discipline.

The flying pigeon arrived in Jiyang, and the local intelligence officers received a secret letter.

Ouyang Chun explained to the intelligence officers in the letter, asking them to contact their colleagues in Chizhou and Bozhou, and quickly spread rumors in Lu Cong's sphere of influence, saying that Sima Fa was in charge of heavy troops and was confused by power.

All the intelligence networks were mobilized, and rumors spread in an instant, and the news spread to Chizhou as a beam.

Lu Cong was shocked and hurriedly asked the officials.

Taiwei Sun Ran said: "Sima Fa and the prime minister have a son-in-law, why are they suspicious?"

A civil official next to him surnamed Wang Mingjun came out and said: "Prime Minister! Sima Fa took the daughter as his wife before he could master the heavy army." Presumably, this marriage is in his eyes, but it is a chess piece that can be used for Prime Minister An's heart. Now that the army is in hand, and the battle is victorious, it is indeed possible to support the army and dictate itself. Now that our army is in the hands of this man, if he plots against him, something will not be good! In the opinion of the ministers, we should immediately recall the soldiers and horses and find out the truth!"

"No!" Sun Ran hurriedly said, "Sima Fa may not have any objections, I'm afraid it's rumors from outside." Besides, at this moment, he suddenly summoned urgently, for fear of arousing suspicion. ”

Wang Jun said: "The prime minister can pass on the family letter to Sima Fa, and say that the daughter is pregnant, and urgently send the son-in-law back to Beijing." If Sima Fa returns with his troops, he will have no heart to rebel. If they refuse to retreat, they will have ambition!"

"The battle situation on the front line is still unclear, how can he be recalled to Beijing? If the fighter plane is delayed, what should it be?" Sun Ran advised.

Wang Jun said: "Sima Fa led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, although he won successive battles, but Liandan County has not yet been taken. The truth of his military exploits is not yet known! He has not won a single city or a place for a long time, and he has spent nothing on military rations! What fighter planes are there?"

Lu Cong had doubts in his heart, and was somewhat persuaded by Wang Jun, so he nodded and said: "The army has been attacking Jinzhou for a long time, and the soldiers are tired. And the supply of grain and grass is continuous, and the cost is huge. It seems that this battle is useless, so we should retreat and repair!"

The words sounded good, but he was actually frightened by rumors, and his heart was really shaken, afraid that Sima Fa would betray him.

Almost most of the troops are in Sima Fa's hands, and if he wants to stand on his own, he will be in big trouble!

Therefore, according to what Wang Jun said, he ordered the messenger to hurry up and write a letter to send to the front line.

Sima Fa reorganized his troops and horses, fought Danjun again, and besieged Ouyang Chun and the city.

The situation in Dan County is getting more and more serious, and it is gradually unable to support it.

At this critical juncture, the envoy arrived and delivered Lu Cong's letter to Sima Fa.

When Sima Fa saw the contents of the letter, his face changed, and he shook his head and sighed.

Zhou Hao asked what was the matter, and Sima Fa said: "The prime minister suspects me and asks to withdraw from the army!"

Hearing this, Zhou Hao hurriedly said: "Danjun can be conquered, how can we easily withdraw the army?

Sima Fa sighed: "The prime minister doubts me, if I don't withdraw from the army and speculate truthfully, I can't argue! Since I have this letter, I have to retreat, otherwise everyone in the world will think that I disregard my wife and children and want to rebel." ”

"It's a pity that it's a good time!" Zhou Hao was very depressed, "Seeing that Danjun is about to be won." Who is slandering in front of the prime minister?"

"In my opinion, I'm afraid it's Ouyang Chun's strategy. Sima Fa said, "Although I don't know how the other party bypassed our army's interrogation, and how he spread rumors in the rear, this person is really powerful!"

"Can you only retreat?" Zhou Hao said, "Can't it be postponed for a few days?"

"The envoy is waiting in the tent, how can he do anything that the prime minister is suspicious of?" Sima Fa said, "Order the front army to be the rear army, and the rear army to be the front army, and keep the formation and retreat slowly." ”

Zhou Hao had no choice but to give an order.

So Sima Fa led his troops out of the battlefield and left slowly.

Ouyang Chun learned that Sima Fa had withdrawn from the army, and he wanted to pursue him. As a result, it was found that when the other party retreated, he also maintained a strict military formation without any flaws, so he could only give up.

Chen Tai was a little curious: "Sima Fa almost captured Danjun, why did he suddenly retreat?"

Tang Yu couldn't figure it out.

Ouyang Chun said: "Presumably the rumors are working!"

"Rumors?" the two generals looked at him curiously.

"When the two generals defeated Zhou Hao and Li Xun, I had already passed the book on the flying, so that the underground intelligence officers of Chi and Bozhou cooperated and spread rumors everywhere, saying that Sima Fa wanted to rebel. Lu Cong really hit the plan!"

"The deputy military division has a good strategy!" Chen Tai said in surprise, "Sima Fa retreated, at least for a few months, our army has enough time to recruit troops and horses to consolidate the city defense." ”

"Sima Fa is not simple, after I go back, I will definitely clarify the rumors and lead the troops to kill again!" Tang Yu said, "I may not be able to hold it next time." You should report to the lord immediately and prepare in advance!"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Ouyang Chun breathed a sigh of relief, during the battle, he was suppressed by Sima Fa extremely uncomfortable.
