Chapter 189: Clever Tricks The Captain Folds His Troops
"Report, Your Majesty, the men and horses of the other three counties of Shangyong heard that the Che Lieutenant was fighting a decisive battle with His Majesty, and they came to reinforce one after another, and now they are all on the way to come."
Three days later, in the Wujun Taishou Mansion, a secret agent ran in and reported.
Liu Yong frowned slightly.
"The people and horses of these three counties were all temporarily resettled after the Che Lieutenant defeated Shen Yu and others, and they were all brought by the Che Lieutenant from Xuzhou, and their combat power should not be underestimated." Ma Chun said.
"The captain has won a big victory this time, and the morale of the soldiers is high, and at this time, someone will rush to reinforce me, which will be even more unfavorable to me." Dong Qi said.
Liu Yong looked at the two.
"Did the two generals ever think that this might be our chance to defeat the captain?"
"Your Majesty means ......"
Liu Yong pretended to smile mysteriously.
Shangyong City:
"According to the report of the spies, Liu Yong's house is transferring men, and there seem to be signs of abandoning Shangyong City and attacking my other three counties instead." A samurai said to the captain.
The lieutenant slammed his fist on the table.
"Without the order of this general, these people dare to mobilize people and horses to come here without permission, if the other three counties are lost, Shangyong City will be reduced to an isolated city, how will it be defended at that time?"
"The three generals are also worried that the decisive battle between General Che Wei and the Lord of Shu will be lost, so they came, their loyalty is rare, and the general must not be blamed for this." Samurai said.
"General Chuanben will order that the three of them should return to the army as soon as possible, each returning to his own place, and not moving lightly. If any of them are lost, General Ben will not spare them. The lieutenant commanded loudly.
The lieutenant officer, who was standing at the door, quickly ran out.
The lieutenant thought for a moment and looked at the samurai.
"The general also has to bring a group of men and horses to ambush in the middle of the three counties, if any one is tight, the general can immediately rush to help, and no place will fall into the hands of the enemy."
"The general's clever calculation." Samurai said.
Wu County:
"Your Majesty, the villain has found out that the people of the three counties have returned halfway, each strictly guarding the city, and in addition, there is also a group of men and horses led by a general surnamed Yan who is stationed in the middle of the three counties, and the three counties are in a horn situation, which is intended to be able to rush to the aid quickly." The soldiers sent out by Liu Yong reported back.
Liu Yong, Ma Chun, Dong Qi and others looked at each other and smiled.
"Your Majesty is really clever, the captain of the car actually believed it and asked the people of the three counties to withdraw. What are we going to do next? Ma Chun said.
"Since the Che Lieutenant sent men and horses to gallop to the aid of the three counties, I will first hit him to help the men and horses, and catch the Che Lieutenant by surprise." Liu Yong said.
At night, Wujun City seemed to be quiet as usual, but in fact, most of the people in the city had quietly left the city, and with the cover of night, they approached the camp of the general surnamed Yan.
It wasn't until the Shu army suddenly lit countless torches and the drums of war sounded that the sleeping Cao Wei soldiers found that they were already surrounded by the Shu army.
"Don't panic, strictly guard Dazhai, this place is not far from the three counties, if the people of the three counties will come when they hear the news, I will turn defeat into victory." The general surnamed Yan came out of the big tent and shouted loudly.
The Shu army was besieged on all sides, attacking from time to time, many camps were ignited by the rockets of the Shu army, and the shouts were clearly heard within a radius of more than ten miles.
The general surnamed Yan commanded his men and horses to defend Dazhai to the death, forcing the Deshu army to pay a considerable price for every step forward.
As the general surnamed Yan said, when the day was about to dawn, the people and horses of the other three counties came.
The Shu army, which did not take advantage of the slightest, chose to retreat when faced with a reverse encirclement.
"Rectify the people, follow the general to attack, and never let go of a Shu army soldier." The general surnamed Yan shouted angrily when he saw the Shu army withdrawing.
Cao Wei's soldiers flocked out.
"General Ma Chun, Cao Wei's men and horses are chasing after you." A soldier ran up to Ma Chun and said loudly.
"It's a good time, General Ben is about to meet what kind of person General Cao Wei is." Ma Chunxi said.
"The general must not change the plan of action without authorization, and still act according to His Majesty's orders." A samurai reminded.
Ma Chun glanced back at Cao Wei's men and horses, who were already close at hand, and smiled coldly: "It's okay, quickly retreat to the left front." ”
The Shu army, which had been hit, was crushed.
"Do you dare to come to rob the general's camp with such goods?" The general surnamed Yan shouted, leading the men and horses to chase closely.
Seeing that the Shu army was defeated and retreating, the people of the other three counties also chose to pursue and kill.
"The Shu army has retreated to the mountain pass, and the officers and men of our army have surrounded the mountain pass, please order to continue the pursuit." A samurai in front sent someone to ask General Yan for instructions.
"The Shu army is tired, don't let go of a person, chase after it." General Yan said without thinking.
There was very little space in the col, and after the Shu army retreated here, they quickly climbed up the hillside, and the densely arranged ropes hung down from the top of the mountain, providing enough life support for these Shu troops.
Cao Wei's army poured into the mountain pass.
"The terrain here is steep, and there is a fear of ambush, so the general should quickly ask the men and horses to evacuate." A samurai watched all the soldiers of the Shu army climb the hillside, and then, the rope was withdrawn, realized that something was wrong, and reminded the general surnamed Yan.
However, it was late.
There was a loud "boom", and countless boulders and rolling logs flew down the hillside, blocking the road to the future.
A war drum sounded, and crossbow arrows flew down the hillside, mixed with stones and burnt logs.
Almost in the blink of an eye, most of the Cao Wei soldiers who were in the col were killed and wounded.
The general's war horse surnamed Yan was also injured by a stone and lay on the ground.
More than a dozen soldiers gathered around him, trying to protect him and rush out, but there was no way out in front of him.
Cao Wei's men and horses, who were blocked outside the mountain col, desperately tried to move the boulders blocking the road away, but they were all blocked by the crossbow arrows of the Shu army a hundred meters away.
On the hillside, Dong Qi and Ma Chun couldn't help but give a thumbs up at the same time when they saw Cao Wei's people and horses all killed.
"Your Majesty counts what I have to wait, and I can't wait." Ma Chun praised sincerely.
The two got on their horses.
"The trapped enemy troops have all been slaughtered, and they will rush down the mountain with General Ben and annihilate all the enemy troops in one fell swoop." Dong Qi and Ma Chun commanded almost at the same time.
The Shu army rushed down from the hillside.
Cao Wei's army was defeated.
The men and horses of the three counties who followed behind were also carried and retreated.
Dong Qi and Ma Chun chased and killed for dozens of miles, and then they collected their troops and went back.
Liu Yong had already set up a banquet in Taishou Mansion, waiting for the return of the two.
"Although there was a small victory this time, it did not hurt the captain's muscles and bones, if you want to win the mediocrity, we need to wait for further discussion." Liu Yong said.
"The captain is very good at using soldiers, and after this defeat, it may not be easy to transfer his men and horses out of the city." Ma Chun said.
"I'm afraid that it will be delayed for a long time, and Sima Yan's family got the news and urgently ordered Chen Cang's men and horses to attack, which will be extremely unfavorable to us." Dong Qi also said.
Liu Yong nodded.
"That's what I'm thinking about."
The three fell silent.
At that moment, there was a dull sound outside the gate, and then a dusty man staggered in from outside.
"Your Majesty, the villain is from the capital, and he was ordered by Empress Zhang to send an urgent letter to His Majesty, the matter is urgent, and the villain came in the starry night." After the person finished speaking, his legs were weak and he was already slumped on the ground.
"Qi'er knows that I am fighting the enemy outside, and if nothing major happens, I will never let people come, so I will quickly submit the letter." Liu Yongda exclaimed.
