Chapter 60: Huang Xu's Strategy

Liu Feng was already dying when he was found, and it was not fatal for him to be shot by Huang Xu in the lower abdomen, but after falling from the horse's back to the ground, he was stepped on in the chest by a dressage horse, and several ribs were broken, and his internal organs were injured by Yan Zhan, and he was bleeding internally. Fortunately, the soldiers saw the opportunity quickly and immediately # dragged him away from the dance floor of the crazy war horse.

Later, countless rolling stones flew down from the sky, and the loyal soldiers helped him block these attacks with their bodies, but because of this, the bodies of the soldiers who were stoned to death fell on top of him. If, in normal times, even if he was crushed by a few people, with his strong body, he was still seriously injured, under heavy pressure, and the injuries were even worse, he could still be saved there.

When he was gouged out, he was already vomiting blood, with more air in and less air out. Huang Xu put his ear close to his mouth, wanting to hear his last words, only to hear his mouth move and make a faint voice: "You...... You are despicable, and you have pretended to take a detour, lured us out of the city, and attacked us......"

Liu Feng thought that he finally knew about Liu Hou's conspiracy, and the sky was pitiful, Liu Hou really had no intention of luring the enemy out of the city, he really felt that he couldn't capture this fortified city, and wanted to take a detour into Shu. It's a pity that Liu Hou's grievances can't be told to people, because Liu Feng swallowed his breath after saying this.

Huang Xu wiped his hand on Liu Feng's eyelids and helped him close his eyes. When he saw that the main force of the White Emperor City was annihilated, he thought to himself, at this time, the White Emperor City was empty and the dragons were leaderless, isn't this a good time to capture the city?

So, he arranged for his men to stay behind to continue cleaning the battlefield and placing prisoners, and he personally led the troops back the same way, chasing the routed troops all the way to the White Emperor City.

Along the way, Huang Xu was thinking about how to capture the White Emperor City at the lowest cost. Although Liu Feng brought out the main force, there must still be some defenders in the city, although there will not be many of these defenders, but they are defending according to the danger, and they have firearms in hand, if they attack by themselves, they will definitely cause great losses, and they may even return with a feather.

If His Majesty's main force is here, he doesn't have to worry at all, he can crush the past with absolute strength, but his own strength is limited, if there are a thousand people in the city, relying on the defense with cannons, fire # guns and thunderbolts, it doesn't matter if his three regiments are sacrificed, I am most afraid that he may not be able to break the city after the sacrifice, so he must think of a good way to enter the city at the minimum cost.

Along the way, he meditated but found nothing, until they caught up with a group of wolves fleeing. The number of these routs was only about 50 people, and they were soaked in water, probably the same group of people who jumped into the river and fled.

Huang Xu saw them fleeing in front, but they hadn't noticed that the pursuers of the Hong army had caught up with them, so they still supported each other and walked unhurriedly in the direction of White Emperor City.

Huang Xu was about to give the order for the troops to come forward to annihilate these routs, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and thought of an idea. So he called a few scouts and told them to follow the routs and see if they could return to the city.

In addition, he had some prisoners rush back and ask them about their troop numbers, names, official positions, and whether there were any special passwords or waist tags, tokens, and so on. And urgently mobilized some captives to surrender, promised them benefits, and let them help to deceive the city gates.

The scouts who quietly hung behind the rout along the way reported back, and those rout soldiers successfully opened the city gate and entered the city. This shows that the defenders of the city have not yet become suspicious of the rout.

And the matter of persuading the captives to surrender was also very smooth, Huang Xu promised to take heavy profits, a tun commander (commanding a hundred people) and a dozen soldiers swore allegiance to the new emperor Liu Chan, and promised to help open the city gates.

As soon as he was about to stop, Huang Xu called fifty special forces with good arrows and martial arts, and asked them to hide their crossbows and knives in their clothes, and put on the clothes of prisoners, pretending to be the defeated remnants of the army.

These special forces mixed with the tun commander and a dozen prisoners, and headed straight for the White Emperor City. And Huang Xu led the large army, hanging far behind them, lying in ambush outside the view of the soldiers on the city wall, waiting quietly.

And when the remnants of the false defeated soldiers came to the city gate, they began to call the gate, and in a short time a soldier from the city wall poked his head out and asked, "Who is coming?" Register your name. ”

The tun commander said in a loud voice: "Dare to ask which official is on duty today, a certain is the tun commander Wu Da Niu of the first tun of the first song of the second part of the Tianzi battalion, the general was defeated in Leping, almost the whole army was wiped out, and dozens of us were squeezed into the river and were able to escape with our lives." Please open the door and let us enter the city. ”

The first song of the first tun of the second part of the Tianzi battalion is the number of Wu Daniu's unit, and the soldiers in the city have eliminated most of their suspicions when they see him report the number, after all, in this day, there are routs fleeing back to the city one after another, and the situation is similar to what the tun chief said.

"Wait!" The soldiers in the city said a word, and then withdrew their heads.

After a while, a general in an iron helmet came out, and he stared carefully at the people below. It seems that the defenders of the city were very cautious, and although many of the routs were released into the city on this day, they were all carefully identified. Although he couldn't see any flaws in Wu Daniu and his party, he still called an acquaintance to come over to identify his identity. This general was obviously called to confirm Wu Daniu's identity.

Before he could speak, he heard Wu Da Niu shouting: "It turned out to be Xu Sima, and it was Wu Da Niu, but do you still recognize a certain family?" Please open the door quickly and let someone in. ”

It turned out that this Wu Da Niu recognized the general in the city, Sima is the meaning of the military Sima, and he is an officer who commands 400 people, two levels higher than Wu Da Niu. is also a middle-level officer, Xu Sima obviously also recognized Wu Da Niu, and said in his mouth: "It turned out to be your brute bull, what's going on?" How did you lose? What about the generals? ”

"Alas, it's hard to say, general, the general is afraid that there will be more and less luck, and Rong will enter the city and tell you in detail."

Xu Sima was shocked when he heard this, although he already knew the news of his defeat from the mouths of the other defeated soldiers who had entered the city before, but those soldiers were not clear about Liu Feng's whereabouts, and his answer was vague.

He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to open the city gate, preparing to let Wu Da Niu enter the city so that he could inquire in detail about the war. The city gate was wide open, Wu Da Niu swaggered into the city with dozens of "remnants of the defeated generals", Xu Sima was worried about Liu Feng's whereabouts, and also ran down the city wall to greet Wu Da Niu in person, wanting to hear accurate news from Wu Da Niu's mouth for the first time.

"Brute, what the hell is going on? You quickly say that you know with a certain family. Xu Sima obviously usually has a little friendship with Wu Da Niu, so he is very casual in the title, and he is not polite to him.

Wu Da Niu waved his hand, so that the "rout" following behind stopped advancing and waited in place. The reason for this is because this is the best place to control the city gates, and if you go into the city and get too far away from the city gates, you won't be able to play their due role.

Wu Daniu approached Xu Sima, looked mysterious, and whispered: "Xu Sima, tell you honestly, the general is dead." ”

"What? Wu Da Niu, don't talk nonsense! Xu Sima was shocked when he heard this, grabbed Wu Daniu's wrist, and shouted.

Wu Da Niu struggled twice, but did not break away, so he had to say with a wry smile: "Let go, you catch a certain pain." ”

Xu Sima didn't let go of his hand, but said, "Say it quickly!" ”

Wu Daniu had no choice but to say: "The general led the army to Lepingli, where there is a place called 'Huilong Suoshui', which is a steep terrain with a small river sandwiched between the mountains on both sides. The enemy general Huang Xu set up an ambush on the mountain, blew up the hillside to block the front and rear roads of our army, and then threw down the rolling stones from the mountain. ”

"This, this, how is this good? What about the generals? What the hell happened to the general? When Xu Sima heard such a detailed battle situation, he became even more alarmed.

"The general was injured by Huang Xu with a series of arrows, and after falling off his horse, he was trampled by a horse, and he died." Wu Da Niu Road.

"What? What? Are you sure? Are you sure the general is dead? Xu Sima asked with a trembling voice.

"Yes, so-and-so was not far behind the general, and saw the whole process with his own eyes, and then so-and-so was squeezed into the river by the soldiers, but escaped with his life. May I ask Xu Sima, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city now? Which official presides over the affairs? ”

Xu Sima thought that Wu Daniu asked these questions in order to report Liu Feng's death to the officials, so he told him truthfully without thinking too much: "Now there are only two people in the city, a certain and Cui Sima, and the one in charge is General Wu." ”

A group of people is 400 people, that is to say, there are now a total of 800 people in the city, led by Xu and Cui, respectively, and the Wu general Wu Daniu also knows that he is Liu Feng's deputy general, named Wu Ming, it is said that he is related to Wu Yi, and it is estimated that Wu Yi sent him over to monitor Liu Feng.

Seeing Xu Sima's panicked appearance, Wu Daniu approached him and whispered to him: "Now that General Liu is dead, I don't know what Xu Sima's plans are in the future?" ”

It turned out that although this Wu Da Niu was five big and three thick, and his name was also very vulgar, he was not a brute bull with only long muscles and no brains as he looked on the outside. He was recruited by Huang Xu to trick him into opening the city gate, so far, he can be said to have completed the task, and now he just needs to shout and hand over the matter to the special forces of the Hong Army behind him.

These special forces will use force to quickly control the city gate, and as long as they control the city gate for a quarter of an hour, the large army of the Hong army outside the city will rush in, and when the dust settles, their own credit will not be able to escape.

However, this credit is too easy to come by, and what he does is too simple, which means that this credit will not be very big, he wants to have greater credit, wants to get more rewards, which requires him to seize the opportunity and make greater contributions, and now, the opportunity is in front of him.

"What do you mean?" Xu Sima was shocked from his sadness, looked at Wu Da Niu in surprise# and asked.

"Now that General Liu is dead, there are only two men and horses in the city, and outside the city is the 100,000 army of the Hong army, Sima thinks, can this White Emperor City still be able to hold it?"

It turned out that this Wu Da Niu actually wanted to persuade Xu Sima to be his own step forward. There was a great deal of exaggeration in what he said, of course, it was to intimidate Xu Sima and make him make up his mind to surrender.
