Chapter 75: Liu Yongqi plotted to retreat from the enemy
"Your Majesty, Sima Yan's army is already less than ten miles away from here." A samurai Pegasus came to the outside of the city wall and said to Liu Yong, who was standing on the city.
In fact, there was no need to report it, Liu Yong had already seen the dust raised not far away and heard the neighing of the war horse.
In order to show his strength in front of Liu Yong, Sima Yan brought out almost all the horses, and the purge of his military appearance was an extremely rare existence at that time.
"Has General Zhang Shao ever been ready?" Liu Yong leaned over and asked the bushido.
"According to Your Majesty's holy decree, General Zhang Shao has arranged everything last night, just waiting for His Majesty's orders."
Liu Yong nodded.
"You go back and tell General Zhang Shao that you don't need to wait for my orders, as long as you see the enemy attacking the city, you can act."
"Yes." The samurai promised Pegasus to leave.
Sima Yan's army approached the city.
"Brothers in the city, listen, Sima Yan, the Marquis of Jiling City, has come here to be surrendered as agreed, and he will go back to your lord and ask him to go out of the city to greet him." A herald came to the city with a Cao Wei banner in his hand and shouted loudly to the city.
Liu Yong took his bow and arrow from Qi Zhen's hand.
The feathered arrow, like a thin white horse, whistled sharply in the air, breaking the flagpole of the flag.
The herald's face changed in fright, and he hurriedly knocked down the flag that had fallen on his face with his hand.
"I've been waiting here for a long time, you can go back and tell your family Marquis Sima, and say that I have laid an ambush outside the city with thousands of troops and horses, and vowed to capture this guy alive."
Liu Yong stretched out his bow and arrows again.
The herald didn't know if he heard Liu Yong's words clearly, and when he saw Liu Yong raise his bow and arrow again, he was so frightened that he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped back.
"As Lord Hou expected." Zhong Tian followed Sima Yan's car and said.
Sima Yan just sneered.
"General Zhong Tian can lead a group of men and horses to feign to attack the city, just bluff, and someone will naturally open the city gate later, and at that time, our army can enter the city and capture the thieves in one go."
"The last general can't easily leave Hou Ye's side." Zhong Tian said.
"Ben Hou is worry-free, General Zhong just goes." Sima Yan looked like he was in his chest.
"You wait by the Hou Ye's side, don't leave without permission." Zhong Tian was still a little uneasy, and ordered the many guards around him.
With the sound of drums, Zhong Tian led hundreds of warriors to rush to the city gate.
Immediately a rain of arrows flew over the city.
Sima Yan stood up in the car, his hand pressed his sword and looked in the direction of the city.
"Tell to go down, once we see the city gate open, our army just move forward, and the first person to enter the city will be rewarded by this marquis."
A dozen heralds immediately ran around the army.
At the end of Cao Wei's men and horses, a relatively low-lying area, a thousand archers lay side by side, looking nervously into the distance, according to Sima Yan's instructions, once the siege began, there must be a Shu army from behind, at that time, not to confront it head-on, as long as the bow and arrow to resist the enemy.
In the front, the shouts of killing shook the sky, but in the back, it was suffocatingly silent.
Zhong Tian led his soldiers to launch several charges, but was forced to move forward by the crossbow arrows and flying stones of the Shu army.
Liu Yong stood on the head of the city with his hands behind his back.
"Why is Your Majesty so leisurely, and when will General Zhang Shao attack him?" Qi Zhen asked.
Liu Yong didn't speak, what he was waiting for was not the news of Zhang Shao's sneak attack from behind, but the good news from Cao Wei's camp.
"Report." A warrior ran up to the city, "The villain was ordered to lead people to guard Lord Deng Yi's mansion, and found that someone tried to go out several times, but was blocked by the villain, and the last time, the villain had no choice but to injure him in public, and now he has been brought to the city, please show your majesty, how to deal with it?" ”
Liu Yongtou didn't look back.
"Let him be kept under the city for a while, and he shall not be allowed to escape. Continue to guard Lord Deng's mansion and do not let people enter or leave. If there is a forced escape, you can make a decision on the spot without asking for instructions. ”
"Yes." The samurai left.
"Report, I haven't seen anyone in Lord Fei Gong's mansion."
"Lord Chen Ji is now in the Empress Dowager's palace, and there is no movement."
A satisfied smile appeared on Liu Yong's face.
The situation where Sima Yan was waiting for the inner line to open the door no longer appeared, but the soldiers who feinted outside the city were still in the dark.
There was no movement in the rear, and Sima Yan felt a little strange. Could it be that Deng Yi deceived himself, or he was wrong as expected, Liu Yong didn't ambush people outside the city at all?
Seeing that the sun had come to the middle of the sky, Sima Yan couldn't bear it anymore.
"The order goes down, everyone wants to attack the city with all their might, and if there is no internal response, Benhou will also capture the bandit leader alive and occupy the capital." Sima Yan drew his long sword and roared.
The procession dodged to the sides, and neatly draped chariots drove past the middle of the procession, behind which huge iron chariots began to approach the city gate with a deafening sound. Rows of shield-bearers were in front, covering the thunderbolts loaded with boulders, and countless archers were slowly approaching behind them with bows and arrows.
"The car is moving forward, and Ben Hou will personally command the siege." Sima Yan instructed the coachman again.
"Master Hou can't move on." One of the guards standing beside Sima Yan held a shield and said loudly, but was pushed away by Sima Yan.
The coachman whipped his whip.
At this moment, a blood-splattered war horse made its way through the crowd and galloped to the side of the car. The samurai on the horse was also covered in blood, and the moment the horse stopped, he had already jumped off the horse.
"Lord Hou, the big thing is not good, the general of Shu took advantage of the opportunity of Lord Hou to come here, and led people to sneak attack our army camp, there are too few people in my camp, it is extremely difficult to resist, and now it has been seized by the enemy several villages, and the grain and grass have also been ignited, Lord Hao Yi is leading the remaining soldiers to resist desperately, and I hope that Hou Ye will return to the rescue quickly."
Sima Yan felt like he had been slapped in the face.
originally thought that Liu Yong would make people sneak attack behind his own people, but he didn't want the target of his sneak attack to be his base camp.
The battalion was lost, the grain and grass were destroyed, and his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had to wait for death.
"Give up the siege and return to the rescue immediately."
The various siege weapons that had approached the city gate began to retreat with Sima Yan's order.
For a time, there was chaos under the city walls.
Zhong Tian thought that there was indeed an enemy attack from behind, Pegasus caught up with Sima Yan's car, and was about to ask, but saw Sima Yan jump out of the car.
"General Zhong quickly led all the iron cavalry back to the camp with Benhou, and the rest slowed down to prevent the enemy in the city from chasing and killing behind behind."
Sima Yan said as he took the reins of a war horse from a warrior, and without waiting for Zhong Tian to speak, he had already galloped forward along the way he came.
By the time Zhong Tian gathered all the iron cavalry to catch up, Sima Yan was already not far from the camp.
"Master Hou walks slowly." Zhong Tian was afraid that Sima Yan would lose, so he chased after him.
In the distance, I saw the flames soaring into the sky.
The entire Cao Wei camp was already in a sea of fire.
Liu Yong's move can be described as extremely clever, using Deng Yi to transmit false information to force Sima Yan to transfer all the horses out, but he ordered Zhang Shao to attack Sima Yan's camp and burn his grain and grass baggage.
At this time, the city gate opened, Liu Yong led all the forbidden army warriors to chase out, and for a while, the outside of Chengdu became the valley of death, and the Cao Wei army, which was ordered to retreat, became a target with no combat power in the eyes of the Shu army.
