Chapter 23, the demeanor of a general in a hundred battles

Looking at the unscrupulous army far away, Li Subai clenched his fists until the last dust and smoke completely dissipated in his vision, and the tense heartstrings slowly relaxed.

If the unscrupulous army attacked the city at this time, with Fang Cheng and his men's troops, there would be no enough to plug their teeth, and they would really fight with an iron heart, and they would all have to fold in Fang Cheng.

Xu Yong stood beside him, looking at the cold sweat, his concentration was not so good, and he almost couldn't break the defense.

After the noisy sound in the wind disappeared, Xu Yong turned his face sideways and leaned over and asked, "Sir, are they really gone?" I saw that Choi Hun, the commander of the unscrupulous army, was also there, and he didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking. ”

Cui Xun has quite a city government, but he lacks some patience, if he is allowed to lead the troops, I am afraid that Fang Cheng will already shout and kill at this time.

"I haven't seen Cui Xun, but I heard that the unscrupulous army was all merchants who followed him on the street at first, but Ma Wei was not, he seems to be from Liangzhou, and his martial arts are very good."

Li Subak has always looked up to everyone, otherwise Chen Yu would not be so convinced, everyone likes to listen to praise, and it doesn't hurt to say a few more nice words on the premise of harmlessness.

"Ma Wei is powerful, the unscrupulous army can have today's territory, thanks to Ma Wei's invincibility, when all the rebels were suspicious of each other and did not dare to be ruthless, Ma Wei led the troops into Jizhou."

The trouble in Jizhou is worse than that in Youzhou, and it has long been under the control of the Feng Dynasty, and the smoke of war is everywhere, even if it is an unscrupulous army, it is not so good to rush to other people's territory to spread wild.

Ma Wei fought a few times, but he didn't taste any sweetness, so he occupied some villages and towns at the junction and choked the choke point to Youzhou.

This is just a delaying tactic, until the situation in Youzhou is stable, Ma Wei will free up his hands to clean up the enemy outside, I am afraid that by then, the situation in Jizhou will be even more chaotic.

Xu Yong has long heard that there is such a number one person as Ma Wei, and what he has seen today is better than a hundred times.

"No matter who you are, if you want to go back to Fanyang, you have to endure a lot of hardships, you have to let them know that Cang Desolation is not easy to bully, and they want to use bandits to attack the county seat, which is quite beautiful."

Li Subak led everyone back to Fangcheng, walked to the root of the city wall and saw Xu Shiwei, "Master Xu, the soldiers are bloodless, and the unscrupulous army will leave, what do you think of me?" ”

After Xu Shiwei saw Ma Wei say a few words, he walked away from Fang Cheng without looking back, and his heart was already as clear as Mingjing.

The old man arched his hand, bent down to the ground, and gave a big salute, "Old and old, it is difficult to hold Fangcheng in troubled times now, please ......"

"What did Master Xu say, the people of Fangcheng still need you, now we must leave Fangcheng quickly, when the unscrupulous army relieves this breath, they will inevitably come back to trouble us, Fangcheng City has few short soldiers, and there is no food and grass available, when the soldiers come to the city, there will be countless casualties!"

While Li Subak was talking, the sergeants around him were busy coming and going, packing all the materials they could take away into bundles and throwing them on the carriage.

Going? Xu Shiwei also thought that there was something wrong with his ears, "Although the population of Fangcheng is not as good as those big cities, there are hundreds of thousands, where is this going?" ”

"Back to Canghuang, there is an abandoned earthen fort over there, and I have ordered someone to start repairing it, not to mention that Canghuang has convenient transportation, and there is a spacious place in the city."

"It's not close to the road from here to the desolation...... If there is anything wrong along the way...... "Xu Shiwei thought about a lot of things, nagging and talking in the back, everyone didn't care about his nagging, and each took care of their own affairs.

Fang Cheng's side moved his whole body, if he wanted to retreat safely, he had to race against time, once the unscrupulous army breathed a sigh of relief, he turned the spear from Fan Yang, and the first thing was to destroy them.

The serial scheme used by Li Subai and the shadow caused by the unscrupulous army made the soldiers unforgettable in this life, and the various traps and tunnels hidden along the way would take the lives of those who walked on them every moment.

The fear of being shrouded in the unknown has always haunted the hearts of unscrupulous soldiers, and Cui Xun, who was firmly protected in the position of the Chinese army, looked at Ma Wei, who was also unspeakable, with a sad face.

"Where did that desolate guy learn this ability! It's a little dirty! ”

After walking out of more than ten miles in a row, although it is a flat and gentle slope, and the lush forests can shelter from the wind and cold, everyone's heart is cold.

The number of traps that can take their lives is beyond their imagination, and most of the scouts sent out to explore the way around the team have never returned, and in desperation, they have exchanged their lives for safe news.

The kind of loss that is rising at any time makes Cui Xun feel breathless, when did the unscrupulous army suffer from this kind of wretchedness?

Before he could do anything with others, he was killed and injured countless just by hurrying, the screams of the vanguard army continued, and some flying wood thistles were hidden in unnoticed corners, and they came out of nowhere to sneak attack.

Ma Wei was angry, he had no good plan in his heart, the other party used a yang strategy, let him go to the county by county, and he didn't know what else was waiting for him in front of him.

"I think these are appetizers, maybe there are bigger surprises ahead, Li Subak is very deep in the city, the key is still a smiling tiger, if you don't compete for a few rounds, you really can't know what kind of person he is."

When Li Subai was calculating him, he was also figuring out Li Subai's thoughts.

When the two armies are fighting, the arrangement of the leaders plays a large role, and often the rapidly changing battle situation will be offset by a momentary decision, and victory will always be unknown until it is in hand.

Cui Xun sighed when he heard this, "And?" My God, if I catch someone who planted these traps, I'll have to skin him! ”

Five kilometers away from the unscrupulous army, Hu Yanhe, who was still working hard, sneezed repeatedly, and he thought it was a prick in his nose or a cold wind.

"Grandma's, the weather is a little too cold, the brothers hurry up and bury the last batch of goods and withdraw to Fangcheng!"

If Cui Xun sees that it is Hu Yanhe, a fool, he may be able to scold something ugly when he opens his mouth.

The unscrupulous army suffered unspeakably all the way, and after a journey of dozens of kilometers, they had to walk for three days and two nights, and finally came to the narrow mountain that stood in the way of the county, and only three people could walk side by side in the narrowest part of the valley.

The scout, who was exploring the way a hundred steps in front, came to Cui Xun's side to report that after the mountain road in front of him was blocked by debris, Cui Xun's face suddenly turned sallow.

"Not good! The rear army changes and the front army retreats quickly! There is an ambush! ”

The terrain here is changed to him, and he will also arrange a net here to wait for people to come and die, at this time, if there are hidden soldiers on the mountain, and they will attack in unison, the people below will have to pay a huge price.

It is not easy for 100,000 people to turn around and retreat, and with a slight movement in front and back, countless people will be squeezed.

Just as Cui Xun was hurriedly directing the retreat in a cold sweat, he suddenly heard several wind, fire and cannon sounds on the edge of Shandong, and the desolate military flag was erected from the low bushes, and the sergeants drew their bows and arrows and shot towards the middle.

"Top shield! Top Shield! Archers fight back! Rush up and kill them! ”

The lieutenant colonels conveyed Cui Xun's order, although the cliffs on both sides were steep, they could not stand the crowd, and everyone used their bodies to fill in the rugged ravines, and climbed up one by one.

The shadow of death was always looming over the heads of the unscrupulous army, shouting and screaming were torn apart by the sound of arrows falling, and Choi Hun wanted to shout, but the helmet red tassel was shot by a feather arrow and almost fell off his horse.

"My lord, don't rush to dispatch troops! Hurry up! Get out of the way! Ma Wei was not surprised, pulled Cui Xun's arm with one hand, held the sword with the other hand to cut off the flying arrows, and hurriedly rushed out of the way.

Just as the shouting was about to subside and the unscrupulous army could breathe, several more cannon shots rang out on the high slope of the mountain, and a group of sergeants carrying fire and thunder rolled wood laughed and threw out the utensils in their hands.

In an instant, the flames were like a winding dragon, zigzag down and pounced on the mountain road, and Ma Wei ordered people to smash the path of the flames with rocks, trying to block the flames in front of him.

He saw Li Song with a complicated expression above through the sea of fire, and couldn't help but scold: "Treacherous villain! Don't come down and die! Like you, a person who serves the second master, it's really a shame for me to be in Youzhou! ”

Li Song looked at him coldly, and his voice came to his ears intermittently, "Hmph! Since ancient times, the king has been defeated and defeated, and he has never said the reason why he has to go all the way to the end! Now you look like you're going to die here, and you're still talking hard! ”

"Whew! If you have the guts, come down and have a few tricks with me! ”

"You better think about how to escape first, and keep smashing me!"

In less than a stick of incense, the mountain road was filled with corpses, and the unscrupulous army hurriedly withdrew from the mountain road, looking for other distant ways to bypass this place, and on the way several times worried about being ambushed again, and spent a lot of effort, and only came to the gate of the county town in the early morning.

There was a desolate military flag fluttering on the head of the county, and there was a huge "Chen" character, seeing the serious defenders behind the battlements of the city wall, Ma Wei's heart sank to the bottom.

"The general who defends the city, you can recognize who I am!"

"I don't care who you are! County by county, desolate, idlers and miscellaneous people are exempted! Chen Yu didn't raise his eyelids and didn't give Ma Wei face.

Ma Wei was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, raised his hand to get a mace, and without saying a word, he urged the three armies to attack the city.

This battle was fought from early morning to evening, and then from evening to early morning, and from time to time there would be some stragglers harassing in the rear, and Ma Wei fought quite unsmoothly.

The small county by county actually made him work hard, and he was hit by a stray arrow several times in the armor, if it wasn't for good luck, Ma Wei would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

After Chen Yu quietly withdrew from the county town and scattered from various city gates, the unscrupulous army was able to enter it.

I never thought that this was still a plan, but when the unscrupulous army just poured into the city, and before it could gain a firm foothold, the fire oil and hay buried in advance around the city were ignited by the flames.
