Chapter 58: A Trick

Xu Sheng led the men and horses all the way back to Gaomi, and according to Cheng Gongying's strategy, he first lay the soldiers outside the city, and he returned to the city alone.

Cui Lin and Zhao saw Xu Sheng's sudden return, and they didn't know what happened, so they hurriedly asked, "Why did Wen Xiang return to the city, could it be that the situation has changed?" ”

Xu Sheng first told Cheng Gongying's speculation and the ambush of the soldiers, and then said: "I have hidden the soldiers in the hills outside the city, lest the two of you be unprepared, so I will enter the city and tell them!" ”

Cui Lin and Zhao glanced at each other after hearing this, and secretly luckily, there were only five hundred soldiers in the city, if they didn't know, they would be caught off guard when they suddenly saw the enemy army killed outside the city.

After thinking about it carefully, he said to Xu Sheng: "The plan of the military advisor is very wonderful, but it is difficult to do all the work, I have a plan, although it is a risk, if it succeeds, I will get all the credit!" ”

After hearing this, Xu Sheng was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What is Zijing's plan to say?" ”

……

Fan Fang led 5,000 men and horses, did not raise flags, did not beat drums, and only copied the path, which was less than 20 miles away from Gaomi at this time.

Watching Gao Mi approaching, Fan Fang thought in his heart: "Lu Yi has already led the troops to Xi County, Gao Mi is empty, and there is absolutely no power to resist, this skill is simply within reach!" ”

Fan Fang thought about it, his heart was excited, and he immediately ordered: "Passing through the valley in front of you is Gaomi, speed up, and strive to hold a banquet in Gaomi City tonight to celebrate!" ”

"No!" Hearing the celebration, the soldiers were also happy, and their speed increased again.

Twenty miles of road, neither long nor short, when Fan Fang led the troops to Gaomi, he found that the city gate had long been closed.

Fan Fang raised his head and looked at the city, only to see that on the city wall, there were hundreds of soldiers standing sparsely, and a scribe in the center, although his face was calm, but if he looked closely, his body seemed to tremble slightly.

Fan Fang laughed when he saw this, and said to the left and right: "Hundreds of soldiers, plus a scribe, how can you stop my army?" The high density will belong to me! After speaking, he looked arrogant and stepped forward.

The scribe in the city was Cui Lin, and when he saw the enemy general approaching, he reprimanded loudly: "Bold thief, dare to invade my city, and don't retreat quickly, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried!" ”

After listening to Cui Lin's words, Fan Fang didn't care, and said with a smile: "I am Fan Fang, the general of Ji Hou's subordinates, and now I am ordered by General Tian to take Gaomi, if you wait for the reality, quickly open the city and surrender, I am not a person who loves to kill, I can save your life!" ”

Cui Lin sneered in his heart after hearing this, said no more, raised his right hand and ordered: "Archers prepare!" ”

When the soldiers defending the city heard the order, they quickly took their arrows and wound them, and all of them were full, aiming at the enemy forces outside the city.

Seeing this, Fan Fang was furious, his eyes stood sideways, and he scolded: "How dare Pifu'an do this? Wait for the city to be broken, and swear to take your head! After saying that, he turned his horse's head and ran back to his own formation.

Fan Fang returned to the front of the battle and was still angry, glanced at the army, saw that the morale was strong, his heart was satisfied, and he raised his sword and shouted: "Gaomi has no soldiers and no generals, you can go down in a battle, those who go to the city first, a reward of 100 gold, kill!" When the words fell, the big knife slashed down.

Hearing Fan Fang's heavy reward, his soldiers were all excited, shouting, holding weapons, carrying simple ladders on their shoulders, and killing the city wall like a tide.

Cui Lin looked at the enemy soldiers rushing up below, and was slightly nervous in his heart, but he was still calculating the distance in his heart, and when he saw that he had entered the firing range, he immediately shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

The archers had been waiting for a long time, and when they heard the order, they shot arrows instantly, and hundreds of sharp arrows rose into the air and fell quickly, and a scream suddenly sounded outside the city.

Fan Fang looked at the scattered defenders in the city, and instructed the adjutant general: "There are few soldiers in the city, you can divide two thousand soldiers to attack the left and right city walls respectively, so that they can take care of one and lose the other. ”

"No!" After listening to the order, the adjutant general left, and after a while, he saw two groups of men and horses quickly killing left and right.

Seeing that the soldiers' attack was going well, Fan Fang was proud in his heart, and ordered again: "Order, the whole army will press up, and the city will be broken within half an hour!" ”

Five thousand against hundreds, although the other party has the advantage of the city wall, in Fan Fang's eyes, this kind of battle is simply not difficult.

In the hills outside the city, Xu Sheng, who was secretly ambushing, had already seen everything in his eyes, and when he saw that Fan Fang would send all the soldiers, he knew that the time had come, and shouted: "When the time comes, kill with me!" "After saying that, take the lead and kill the general.

The soldiers behind him had long been impatient, and when they heard the order, everyone scrambled to be the first, shouting and shouting, and rushed out.

The city was about to be broken, Fan Fangzheng was secretly proud, and suddenly heard the shouts from the rear to kill the sky, and was immediately shocked!

Turning around sharply, I saw a large number of ambush soldiers from the rear out of nowhere, the first general, although he was still young, but his momentum was extraordinary, holding a spear, his expression was excited, and he shouted: "The husband is leaving, and the plan of my military division in Ruzhong is also!" ”

Fan Fang was shocked after hearing this, mistakenly thinking that Lu Yi had not left, and shouted loudly: "It's not good, I'm also in the middle of the plan, withdraw the troops quickly!" ”

After speaking, he didn't care about his subordinates, and ran away for his life.

The soldiers who were originally besieging the city, seeing that they were about to kill the city, suddenly heard the shouts behind them, and were frightened, and hurriedly turned back to look, but found that their main general had long disappeared, and saw the reinforcements from afar killing, all of them were terrified and fled in all directions.

Cui Lin, who was commanding the defense of the city, looked up to the sky and laughed when he saw this scene, and immediately ordered to go out of the city to counterattack.

Outside the city, Xu Sheng, looking at the direction of Fan Fang's escape, smiled slightly, divided his hands to capture the prisoners, and then quickly chased after them.

Fan Fang kept whipping the war horse, galloping all the way, and when he fled in, he passed through the valley, and when he looked back, he saw that only dozens of soldiers were coming, and he was extremely remorseful in his heart, and secretly shouted carelessly, if he sent scouts to search before the siege, how could he have such a big defeat.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a loud shout from the front: "The thief will leave, and he will wait here for a long time!" As the words fell, a detachment of men and horses blocked the way.

Fan Fang saw that there was someone blocking the road in front of him, and he was so frightened that he was about to turn around and flee, but saw that the back road had been blocked by the pursuers.

The valley is narrow, there is a blockade in front, there are pursuers in the back, the cliffs on both sides are steep, and there is no way to escape.

Fan Fang looked at the steady lead in front of him, and the young Xu Sheng behind him, his eyes were cracked, he clenched the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Defeat is still dead!" Then he led his own soldiers to kill Xu Sheng.

How could Xu Sheng be afraid of Fan Fang, roared, raised his gun, and killed in one place.

The two of them had a knife and a spear, one was full of tragedy, the other was excited, and they fought for about twenty rounds, only to hear Xu Sheng shouting: "Die!" He immediately turned the spear into a stick and smashed it heavily on Fan Fang's blade.

Fan Fang took it with all his might, not wanting to have a huge difference in strength, so he fell off the horse directly.

Fan Fang took advantage of the momentum and wanted to get up, not wanting Xu Sheng's spear to be in his throat and unable to move.

Xu Sheng ordered the soldiers to tie up Fan Fang, and when he saw that he had defeated the rest of his own soldiers, he laughed and praised him: "Zijing is a great talent, I can't do much!" ”

Zhao also laughed, and then approached Xu Sheng and said mysteriously: "I still have a more risky plan, Wen Xiang is willing to listen?" ”

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up......
