Chapter 272: Lure the enemy general, step by step
Chaoyang official road, Wuning camp:
"Report, General, a large number of Ming troops have been found ahead!" a soldier hurriedly said.
When Wu Ning heard this, he hurriedly came out to check, and saw that the flags in front of him were all over the mountain, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and he couldn't help muttering: "Look at this formation, the Ming army is no less than 20,000 people, but with so many troops they transferred from there, could it be that Luoyang's reinforcements are coming?"
Just when Wu Ning was puzzled and hesitant, the yacht scout came to report: "Tell the general, we have captured a spy from the Ming army, and I hope the general will deal with it!"
"Hurry up and bring him to me!" Wu Ning shouted ordered.
Before his Huayun fell, he saw four soldiers escorting a person dressed as a Ming army to Wu Ning.
"Kneel!" was a soldier, shouted in unison, and two of them each stretched out a leg and kicked it on the shin of the Ming army's dressed man, and then he only heard him plop and kneel on the ground.
Wu Ning glanced him up and down, and asked coldly, "What's your name?"
The man paused for a moment and responded, "The eighth day of the first month!"
Wu Ning stood up angrily when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "Your grandmother's big bear, Lao Tzu didn't ask you the date, asked your name, answer me quickly, what is your name, otherwise, believe it or not, I cut off both of your ears and stuffed them in your mouth." ”
When Chu Ba heard this, he trembled with fright, and hurriedly replied with a squeak: "If you go back to the general, the villain's name will be Chu Ba." ”
The eighth year of junior high school was afraid that his words had not been made clear, so he hurriedly added: "Because my mother is the one left over from me on the eighth day of the first month, and my father and mother are illiterate, according to our local customs, I took the date of the day as my name." ”
Wu Ning was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly responded: "Your grandmother's big bear, why didn't you say it earlier, then let me ask you another question, are you a spy sent by the Ming army?"
For this question, Chu Hachi's heart was a little panicked, this is a sensitive question, as long as he answers the slightest negligence, he will be pulled out and chopped into meat sauce.
"Answer me quickly, are you a spy sent by the Ming army, otherwise, be careful that General Ben chops you up!" Wu Ning roared loudly again.
Chu Ba's whole body was trembling, and the corners of his mouth were trembling, and he replied with a squeak: "Back to the general's words, the villain is the Ming army, but he is not a spy." ”
Wu Ning's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted loudly: "You dare to lie to me, it's not the Ming army, why did you run away from our army's camp, it's obviously a spy sent by the Ming army, and you dare to quibble, come here, drag me out and cut it down." ”
The two soldiers answered and pulled the eighth child and walked towards the mountains and forests in the distance!
Chu Ba struggled to kick his legs, and shouted loudly: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life, I am not a spy, I am not a spy, it was General Ming who asked me to inform General Wang, who was in Chaoyang Guandao, to go back quickly, saying that Yuyuan Pass was about to be captured by a mysterious cavalry who suddenly rushed over, and asked him to hurry back to the army to rescue." ”
"Wait, Chu Ba, is what you just said true?" Wu Ning stretched out a hand and asked loudly.
Chu Ba hurriedly responded: "What the little one said is true, and I hope the general will see it." ”
Wu Ning was stunned, nodded slightly, and muttered to himself: "It seems that General Ba and Ma Junshi are about to succeed, no, they can't let them all grab the credit, I also have to go and get a piece of the pie." ”
But when his eyes fell on the mountain banner in front of him, and when he rushed to the sky, he couldn't help frowning tightly, and asked, "The eighth day of the first month, then how many Ming troops do you say there are ahead?"
"There are only more than 3,000 people!" Chu Ha hurriedly responded.
"Nonsense!" Wu Ning's expression suddenly became angry, and he shouted loudly.
When Chu Ba heard this, his body trembled, and he hurriedly responded: "The small sentence is true, and there is no half a lie." ”
Wu Ning stretched out his finger and pointed ahead, and asked loudly: "Don't you know how to count as a general, looking at the flags and torches in front, at least there are no less than 20,000 people, how can there be only more than 3,000 people?"
Hearing this, Chu Ba hurriedly explained: "The general doesn't know, some time ago, our general Tong Yi had led most of the defenders to withdraw to Luoyang City, and now there are only less than 7,000 men and horses led by General Ming in the pass, and 20,000 troops can be made there. ”
"What do you explain by those flags and flames that soar into the sky?" Wu Ning asked again.
Chu Ba hurriedly explained: "Those are all suspicious tactics laid by General Ming, there are only flags and torches, and there are not many people. ”
When Wu Ning heard this, he paused for a moment and said, "If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely make your life worse than death, do you hear?"
Chu Ba trembled, almost fell directly to the ground, hurriedly knelt down, and responded: "Xiao's current life is in the hands of the general, how dare you talk nonsense, I hope the general Mingjian!"
Wu Ning suddenly laughed loudly: "General Ben has long thought of this, the front must be a suspicious soldier, think about General Ben has been studying military books since he was a child, this little carving insect skill, and I want to deceive General Ben, it is simply a big axe in front of Luban, and selling tofu in the courtyard of Wang Po." ”
At this time, the eighth day of the first month breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at the brightest star in the sky, and secretly said in his heart: Mother, what Lin Gongzi said is right, you must be looking at me in the sky, bless me!
"Someone, pass on my military order, everyone get on their horses and rush into the Yuyuan Pass as fast as possible!" Wu Ning then shouted to his subordinates.
After a while, the 10,000 cavalry had already been prepared, and they only listened to Wu Ning's order.
"Let's go!" Wu Ning waved his hand and shouted.
After galloping for about a quarter of an hour, the advance troops in front came to report: "General Qiqi, a large number of flag torches were found in front, and there was not a single Ming army in sight. ”
When Wu Ning heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Sure enough, it is a suspicious soldier, leaving a thousand cavalry, and replacing all these flags and torches with those of our army." ”
The man answered, and shouted to a cadre of cavalrymen behind him: "Bring banners and torches, and follow me!"
"Brothers, rush to me, there is Yuyuan Pass ahead, whoever rushes to the pass first, Lao Tzu, I will reward whoever has two yellow flower daughters and let him have a good time. Wu Ning shouted excitedly as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
When the other soldiers heard this, they were all in high spirits, and they all howled excitedly like hungry wolves.
After being forced to the Yuyuan Pass, Wu Ning felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, could it be that General Ba and the others captured the Yuyuan Pass so quickly?
Just when Wu Ning was puzzled, he suddenly heard a shouting order from the front, and said, "The general from the front is General Wu Ning?"
Wu Ning was a little familiar when he heard this voice, and hurriedly responded: "You are Zhou Shuai, the cavalry captain under General Ba's seat?"
The man walked towards Wuning with more than a dozen soldiers, each holding a torch, and said with a smile as he walked: "General Wuning came very quickly, General Ba and the military adviser also asked me to inform you early tomorrow morning, it seems that I will not have to run again." ”
Wu Ning saw that it was really Zhou Shuai, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, and asked, "Brother Zhou Shuai, has the Yuyuan Pass been broken by us like this?"
Zhou Shuai nodded and said, "Brother Wu, I don't know, there are only five or six thousand defenders in this Yuanyuan Pass, and when we came, most of them were asleep, so it didn't take much effort to take it down." ”
Wu Ning nodded with a smile and said, "What about General Naba and Master Ma, they should all be asleep at this time, right?"
Zhou Shuai responded: "How can you sleep, it's too late to get excited, now you are in the main camp, interrogating Ming Zhong, but, don't you really say it, Ming Zhong's old bones are really hard enough, Ma Junshi wants to surrender to him, but I didn't expect this old thing to be soft and hard and not eat, oil and salt are not in, Ma Junshi and General Ba have tried all their tricks, and they are not useful." ”
Wu Ning was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Oh, I want to go and see how hard Ming Zhong's bones are?"
Zhou Shuai made a gesture of invitation and said, "Brother Wu, please, the military advisor and General Ba are waiting inside!"
When he was about to walk to the main camp, Wu Ning slightly felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, but as for where it was, he couldn't say clearly.
"Brother Wu, please, Master Ma and General Ba are waiting for you inside!" Zhou Shuai made another gesture of invitation and said.
"Brother Zhou, won't you go in with me?" Wu Ning asked with some confusion.
Zhou Shuai smiled slightly and said, "How can I have that spare time, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with tonight!"
"Brother Wu, then I'll say goodbye first!" After speaking, Zhou Shuai saluted Wu Ning again and said respectfully.
Wu Ning also immediately arched his hand and returned the salute.
After a long sigh of relief, Wu Ning entered the main camp.
But as soon as he entered, he was startled, because there was no light in the main camp, and he could not see his five fingers, and there was not a trace of light.
"Is there anyone, Ma Junshi, General Ba ......" Wu Ning mustered his courage and shouted a few times.
But he shouted more than a dozen times in a row, but no one responded.
By this time, he had already regained his mind and wanted to walk towards the camp gate.
However, he was surprised to find that the door he had just entered was gone, and he looked around several times, but could not find it, and at that moment, his hand suddenly touched something.
At this time, Wu Ning's back was about to break out in a cold sweat, and he muttered to himself: "This ghost place is too evil......
Before his words fell, his eyes suddenly lit up, but the scene that caught his eye couldn't help but startle him, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
I saw a coffin hanging in front of him, and the white cloth filial piety clothes used for condolences were hung next to it, and what made him even more frightened was that there was also a spirit card on it, with six big characters: The Tomb of General Wu Ning!
Looking down further, there was another line of small words that shocked him even more: General Wu Ning was buried here at three moments!
Just when Wu Ning was in shock, the voice of the husband suddenly came from outside the door: "The ugly time is the third watch, ten thousand ghosts have returned to the house, and Yan Jun has appeared!"
At the moment when the husband's words fell, two red candles in front of the main camp suddenly lit up, and there was a figure swaying in the candlelight!
Wu Ning trembled with fright, hurriedly took a step back, and asked loudly, "Who are you, are you a human or a ghost?"
