Chapter 13: Tricking Out of the City
Liu Bao was surrounded by civil and military officials who followed him, and the army behind him accompanied him, majestic and majestic.
On the other side, Liang Teng's face was extremely ugly, and he was surrounded by members of the Liang family, leading thousands of Liang family troops to meet near the inner city.
Liu Bao couldn't hide his joy in his eyes, and when he looked at Zhao Tong, he smiled at the same time.
When the two armies met, the main generals of both sides stepped forward and stopped at close range.
"Virtuous nephew, Tiger Fu!" Liu Bao made no secret of the greed of this Liang family's army, and directly stretched out his right hand.
"I said, go out of the city and deliver!" Liang Teng looked back at the Liang family who seemed to have been separated from morality, and gritted his teeth.
This scene fell in the eyes of Liu Bao and his subordinates, and it was very happy.
"In this case, let's go out of the city!" As long as we get the Tiger Talisman, the main force of the entire Huajun will be in our own hands, who will be able to resist at that time? As soon as Liu Bao pulled the reins, he had to turn the horse's head.
"Wait!" Liang Teng suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Bao's arm tightly, the strength was so great that the other party frowned slightly.
"What?" In normal times, this kind of impolite behavior Liu Bao must have been angry on the spot, and now he is in a good mood, so he is smiling.
Liang Teng didn't speak, just stared at Liu Bao, and refused to let go of his hand.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Tong came over: "Liang Duyou, if you miss the opportunity to send troops and miss a great opportunity, how can you be ashamed of the palace? Lord Cavalry is also to save the situation for the Lord......"
"Virtuous nephew, aren't you worried about your uncle?" Liu Bao smiled and stretched out his hand, breaking Liang Teng's fingers hard, "Go out of the city and deliver!"
"Get out of the city!" Zhao Tong glanced at Liang Teng triumphantly and ordered loudly.
Led by Liu Bao, his men marched with the army to the city gates.
Finding that Liang Teng didn't move, Liu Bao turned around: "Virtuous nephew, don't you want to suppress the thief?"
Liang Teng gritted his teeth, looked at Liu Bao, and under his smug eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Uncle will lead the troops out of the city first, and the nephew will come later!"
"Let's go!" Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Liang Jun, the chief bookkeeper, raised his hand, and the civil and military officials in the Liang family each led their own troops forward, and ignored Liang Teng.
This scene fell in the eyes of Liu Bao and Zhao Tong, and they felt even more happy.
Although he looks down on the Liang family's bottomless appearance, it is another matter if it is beneficial to himself.
These civil and military officials of the Liang family brought out at least half of the army, and the remaining soldiers who followed Liang Teng were all flustered.
Liu Bao led the team out of the city gate first, turned the horse's head and waited proudly.
Liang Teng hung his head and gradually walked out of the city gate surrounded by Liang family officials such as Liang Jun, the chief bookkeeper, Liang Zhi, the literary sacrifice wine, and Liang Hong, Gong Cao Peng, Liang Hong.
Liu Bao waited in formation, watching the Liang family's team go out of the city, and his heart was inexplicably excited.
It's just that when Liang Teng and the officials of the Liang family walked to the moat suspension bridge, they suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Liang Teng raise his hand and wave back: "Go back to the city!"
Led by him, all the civil and military officials of the Liang family turned their horses' heads, and before Liu Bao and his subordinates could react, they returned to the city.
"What's going on?" Liu Bao looked dazed.
Zhao Tong was also stunned, and then his face changed: "Lord, Liang Teng is cheating!"
Hearing this, Liu Bao reacted, and saw that the generals of the Liang family retreated into the city, and the drawbridge was pulled up, and he was immediately furious: "Liang Teng Xiao'er, you actually deceived me?
"Liu Bao!" After a while, Liang Teng appeared above the city wall, surrounded by the civil and military officials of the Liang family, and shouted condescendingly, "Fuzun is sick, you want to take the opportunity to seize power, how can you hide it from me? I only blame you for your desire for power, but I don't know that my Liang family is the most united, how can you defect?"
"Liu Bao, if you want to capture Huajun, you don't have the qualifications yet!" Liang Jun, the chief bookkeeper, laughed, "Don't you want to suppress the thieves?
Liu Bao's face was white and red, and it was like smoke.
I was really fascinated by the desire for power before, but now I think about how the Liang family could turn against each other so easily, let alone give up all the military horses. Turning his head to glare at Zhao Tong, the latter also twitched the corners of his mouth: "Lord, Liang Teng's vertical son is too deceitful! Since he has torn his face, then take the city and kill the Liang family, and write to the court to push it to Pang Li thieves to replace the position of Taishou!"
Now there is really no other choice, and Liu Bao is really not cowardly when it comes to fighting.
After all, Liang Chun fell ill, and the attack on Pang Lishan also greatly injured the vitality of the Liang family, more than half of the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and only about 4,000 fled back, and their morale was low. Even if you add the soldiers and horses in the city, you may not be able to hold it.
At that moment, he raised his arms and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order! Break through the city gate and kill ——!!"
"Kill the ——!!" outside the city instantaneously gongs and drums sounded, the war horses galloped, and the mighty slaughtered back.
"Release the arrow!" Liang Teng gave an order, and the arrows rained down in an instant. The rolling stones, sasswood, and gold juice prepared in advance fell wildly.
Liu Bao's army rushed and killed three times in a row, but all of them were forcibly beaten back.
"Liang Teng, it seems that he has been prepared!" Liu Bao was very angry.
"Lord!" Zhao Tong approached, "In that case, our army will go south first." ”
"To the south?" Liu Bao turned his head in confusion.
"The grain and grass are still in the city, which is not conducive to a long-term war!" Zhao Tong replied, "Just kill Nanzheng, the county is full of Liang family industries, and there are clan relatives ......"
A fierce light flashed in Liu Bao's eyes: "Just follow your words!"
He immediately ordered the whole army to turn around and march towards the main road south outside the city.
It's just that there are countless horse-barrishing fences in front of you, and Liang Kai and Liang Yun led the troops to guard, and bows and arrows were fired together.
Liu Bao led the troops to charge, the road was full of traps, and several lieutenants unfortunately fell into the pit. If you want to save people, you can't get close under the rain of arrows.
The main road was blocked, and the plan to go to Nanzheng County was broken.
Facing the soldiers and horses standing in the way, Liu Bao was ready to go into battle.
At this time, Zhao Cheng came to dissuade: "Lord, if our army is entangled here, it is difficult to guarantee that Liang Teng will not lead his troops out of the city and attack from front to back! It is better to recruit soldiers and horses to Ju County first, prepare food, and then spread rumors that the Liang family rebelled against the imperial court and wanted to harm the lord." When the time comes, if you break through Huajun, you can kill the Liang family!"
Liu Bao didn't have any ideas at the moment, but he was unwilling in his heart: "I can't swallow this breath!"
"Lord, the overall situation is important!"
"Withdraw!" Liu Bao can still tell the priority, the army is consumed amazingly outside, and he was deceived outside by Liang Teng, and of course the grain transportation team was intercepted by the Liang family and could not get out of the city. There is no grain and grass to fight, and I am afraid that the Liang family will outflank the front and back, although it may not necessarily lose, it will definitely be enough in the end.
Liu Bao's army did not attack and turned to retreat, and Liang Kai and Liang Yun, who led the troops to guard the avenue, breathed a sigh of relief, but in fact, they were covered in a cold sweat.
The other party really wants to attack, they are not opponents at all.
Mr. Ning is still powerful, and it is expected that Liu Bao will not dare to attack.
On the city wall of Huajun, Liang Teng and other civil and military officials of the Liang family were also frightened and very afraid.
If Liu Bao recklessly stormed the southern avenue, it would be over! They would not dare to really go out of the city and confront Liu Bao's army head-on.
After all, Liu Bao's military achievements are great, and his fighting skills are not weaker than those of Taishou Liang Chun, or even stronger. Even if the strength is not as good as the Liang family, the threat to the Liang family, whose vitality was greatly damaged after the first battle of Pang Lishan, is also very great.
Besides, the bandits of Pang Lishan are really going to come over, wouldn't it be a cheap thief army to lose both sides here?
But Liu Baozhen wants to charge, Liang Kai and Liang Yun can't resist at all, if they don't rescue, Nanzheng County will be finished, and the Liang family's clan relatives over there, as well as countless industries, will suffer, and the loss is incalculable.
It was a big gamble, and thankfully there was no loss, but everyone was apprehensive.
Watching Liu Bao's army retreat, turn around and move away from the city, and move in the direction of Juxian, the civil and military officials of the Liang family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Including Liang Teng himself, his heart has been hanging in his throat, and he finally let go at this moment.
"Juxian County Commander has an old relationship with Liu Bao, what if you help him recruit troops, prepare military rations, and turn around to attack Huajun?" Liang Jun turned his head and asked softly.
Liang Teng looked at the movement of Liu Baojun in the distance, and he was not very sure: "Little Brother Ning judged that the bandits of Pang Lishan must lead their troops down the mountain today and come to attack the city." Liu Bao's army will go to Ju County, and on the way it will meet the thief army, and whether the thief army or Liu Baojun wins, we will be able to benefit!"
"The strategy is too risky, and the consequences of a slight mistake are unimaginable!" Liang Jun said, "But an outsider, why do you believe in him so much?"
"At least so far, Little Brother Ning's judgment is right!" Liang Teng replied.
"If the Pang Li Mountain bandits don't go down the mountain today, or if they don't meet Liu Bao's army on the way, they will attack Huajun directly. After Liu Bao went to Ju County to recuperate, he made a comeback, how is it good?"
"Now that my father is sick in bed, we can't think of any other way but to gamble! If you lose the bet, then stick to Huajun and ask for help from the surrounding cities!"
"At least Liu Bao was driven out of the city, and there will be no worries in a short time!" Liang Zhi came over, "I just hope that the lord will recover as soon as possible, this kind of risky plan is not the right way after all." ”
The surrounding civil and military officials nodded in agreement, and when Liang Teng discussed with everyone in the early morning, everyone was actually very worried, and if Liu Bao accidentally saw it, the outcome would be different. In case the other party launches in the city, with the current morale of the Liang family's soldiers, they may not be able to withstand it.
Even if the other party has been deceived out of the city and far from the city, it is a scourge that will come back sooner or later.
came out as planned, Liu Bao and Pang Lishan bandits collided, and there was a life-and-death fight, and both sides were defeated.
They are not worried about Liu Bao defecting to the bandits, although he is against Liang Chun, this kind of thing will never happen to Liu Bao, not to mention that he has a large army in his hands, and there is a back road in Ju County.
The city is very worried, and I don't know if it will go well in the future. Ning Ze is a young man of unknown origin for them after all, and it is not easy to cooperate with Liang Teng to gamble!
"Everyone, no matter what, we will act according to the plan!" Liang Teng looked around at everyone, "For now, we can only give it a go and wait for the result." No matter how bad it is, Liu Bao has been driven away, and the internal troubles in Huajun have been eliminated, which is also a good thing!"
"That being said, I hope it won't be self-defeating!" Liang Jun sighed, "If Liu Baoru goes to Ju County, it will be the most troublesome thing......
