Hao Yi really calculated accurately, and just half a day later, those soldiers who had followed the commander for a long time, except for a few who fled in makeup, the rest chose to surrender.

Shangyong City, Taishou Mansion:

Liu Yong and Ma Chun have already gotten the news.

"The captain was beheaded, presumably Jiang Chongda and Hao Yi will inevitably march into the army, and we are far inferior to the enemy, what can the two generals do to defend against the enemy?" Liu Yong asked.

Ma Chun and Dong Qi were silent.

After a while, Ma Chun raised his head.

"As soon as the enemy arrived, they collected and surrendered many of the captains, and at this time the morale was sharp, we should not confront it head-on, we should stick to the city, and when the enemy army could not attack for a long time, the soldiers were tired, and the main general was slack, we would attack quickly, so that we could have the certainty of victory."

"Weichen thinks General Ma Chun's words are reasonable." Dong Qi echoed.

"General Ma Chun is well versed in the way of attack and defense, and this plan is very good." Liu Yong said, however, as soon as the conversation changed, "It's just that the number of enemy troops is twice as large as mine, if we can't fight quickly, once the stalemate starts, our three armies will be cowardly, and at that time, not only will the mediocrity not be guaranteed, but even Wujun will be difficult to defend for a long time." ”

"In this way, Your Majesty must have a strategy to break the enemy?" Dong Qi asked.

Liu Yong smiled, stood up, looked at Ma Chun and said, "General Ma Chun can lead a group of men and horses out of the city secretly tonight, and ambush on both sides of the road that the enemy army must pass, and the enemy army must not be alarmed when it comes, only when the enemy army quickly withdraws, the general will then chase after it, remember, as long as you cover it behind, you can't face the enemy head-on." ”

Ma Chun was a little puzzled.

"When the enemy army comes, he will take my city, how can he easily evacuate?"

Liu Yong didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "The general is in charge and acts according to orders, even if the city falls, it has nothing to do with the general." ”

"Wechen obeys." Ma Chun had no choice but to reply.

Liu Yong looked at Dong Qi again.

"General Dong Qi will lead the rest of the men and horses to withdraw from the city tomorrow, leaving only a hundred crossbowmen on the head of the city, by the way, and gather all the people in the city to evacuate together, the more lively the better, I want Hao Yi and Jiang Chongda to know that I dare not fight against them, and have fled from this city."

"Your Majesty is going to stage the empty camp of Zhao Yun, a famous general in Shu in the past, to fight the enemy, but will it not be successful?" Dong Qi said.

(Actually, the more classic battle is Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, but the record of this in the official history is extremely vague, so it is not listed here.) ）

Liu Yong smiled silently.

"I'm afraid Hao Yi will see through this plan and refuse to enter the city." Ma Chun said.

"I expect that Jiang Chongda will be the only one who will come to attack the city, and he will definitely make the captain of the chariot as the front. These men will not doubt that they will lose this city and regain it. Liu Yong said.

Seeing Liu Yong's appearance of being a bamboo in his chest, Dong Qi and Ma Chun didn't say anything anymore.

Sure enough, in the evening of the next day, the news that Liu Yong led people to withdraw from Shangyong was overheard by Cao Weijun's secret agents, and quickly informed Jiang Chongda and Hao Yi.

Jiang Chongda was overjoyed and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Liu Yong'er fled timidly, and he could take this opportunity to enter the army, pass the order, prepare the three armies, and go straight to Shangyong City."

Hao Yi grabbed Jiang Chongda's hand.

"Liu Yong is deceitful, the former official and the Jin King Chitose have been defeated by him several times, and the official knows that this person is by no means a coward. Today, our army has not attacked, but he fled first, there must be tricks in it, General Jiang must not rush forward, and he needs to listen carefully before deciding to advance and retreat. ”

Jiang Chongda sat down.

"Lord Hao Yi's words, General Ben is convinced, but if Liu Yong's army really retreats, will I have to lose the fighter plane if I wait like this?"

Hao Yi thought for a moment.

"This official also has this idea, so let's do it, General Jiang can make the commander of the chariot as the front, so that he can enter the city first, if there is an ambush, the loss of a few soldiers is not a big deal, General Jiang can also lead the men and horses to evacuate quickly."

"Okay." Jiang Chongda said happily.

"You still need to slow down." Hao Yi advised, "This official is here to stick to the camp and strictly prevent Liu Yong's gang from taking the opportunity to sneak attack." ”

Although Hao Yi was shrewd, in this battle of wit, he was firmly controlled by Liu Yong in the palm of his hand.

"General Chuanben will order, arrive at Shangyong City before the third watch tonight." Jiang Chongda instructed the Chinese officer.

At night, the surrendered soldiers of the Che Lieutenant, led by a samurai, first came to Shangyong City.

Jiang Chongda's men and horses followed.

"Report, my front men and horses have arrived under the city, there are only 100 defenders of the Shu army in the city, and they have been repelled by our army, and now the gate of Shangyong City is open, please order to enter the city." A soldier came to Jiang Chongda's war horse and said.

Jiang Chongda laughed.

"Liu Yong has indeed fled and ordered him to enter the city."

The soldier Pegasus leaves.

Not long after, Jiang Chongda's men and horses had already come to Shangyong City.

"The city is empty, and we only found an old man in the courtyard of a house, according to the old man, Liu Yong has retreated to Wu County with the ordinary people." Another soldier came running to report.

Jiang Chongda thought for a moment.

"Lord Hao Yi wants me not to rush in, you bring the old man, and General Ben will ask in person."

Not long after, the old man, who was so frightened that he was trembling, was taken to Jiang Chongda's horse.

"His Majesty the queen of my family wants me and the people in the city to follow me to Wujun, the little old man is old and unwilling to leave, so he hides in the house and does not want to be discovered by the general, and hopes that the general will see that the little old man is old and will not be embarrassed." The old man knelt in front of Jiang Chongda's horse, and without waiting for Jiang Chongda to ask, he had already said in a trembling voice.

"As you say, then Liu Yong has really retreated to Wu County?" Jiang Chongda asked.

The little old man hid in the house and listened to the discussion of the Shu army, and that's what he said. He also said that only a hundred crossbowmen were left here, which was intended to delay the speed of the general's pursuit, and according to the time calculation, I am afraid that they had already arrived in Wujun for a long time at this time. The old man replied.

Jiang Chongda completely believed it this time.

"Liu Yong retreated to Wu County, our army can take advantage of the situation to attack, I think Wu County is a small place, and there are many people in the city, how can we hold it for a long time?" A samurai beside Jiang Chongda said.

Jiang Chongda nodded.

"Rest in the city tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning to approach Wu County."

The herald quickly passed the order on to every samurai who led the troops.

For a while, all Cao Wei's soldiers flocked to the city.

Although Shangyong City is very large, however, so many people and horses poured in, it immediately seemed crowded, almost all the houses were occupied, and the streets were even more crowded, and there was almost no place to stay.

"But ask the soldiers to light a fire to keep warm." Jiang Chongda was surrounded by people and walked into the Taishou Mansion, sat on a chair, and commanded loudly.

He didn't have any combat experience, where would he think of the ancient adage of "narrow roads and dangerous roads, fire attacks are needed" at this time.

Piles of bonfires were lit.

I don't know which bonfire ignited the mechanism set up by Liu Yong in advance, and for a while, the firewood and grass piled up on the roof of the house were ignited and rolled down one after another, and at the same time ignited the oil-soaked soil and seemingly messy wood in the yard, and the fire spread rapidly.

Cao Wei's soldiers, who had just been lying down, were awakened by the fire, and they fled from their houses and poured into the streets.

A war drum sounded, and countless Shu soldiers suddenly appeared on the four walls of Shangyong City, each holding a crossbow arrow or a lit feather arrow in their hands, and in an instant, a small tongue of fire pierced the night, pouring down on the head of Cao Wei's army like a storm.

The shouts of killing sounded, and Dong Qi led the soldiers of the Shu army who were ambushed outside the city to rush in.

Cao Wei's army was overcrowded, and there were countless people who killed each other.

By the time Jiang Chongda heard the news and ran out of the Taishou Mansion, the entire Shangyong City had been shrouded in flames.
