Chapter 27 Shooting yourself in the foot
On April 15th, the second year of the year, the sky is clear. W★w★Wく.
8★1 z W .
The drums and horns that sounded from Chenshi in the south of the city of the city finally calmed down when the sun set. The soldiers of the siege retreated in an orderly manner, and the defenders at the top of the city knocked on the shield with their swords, and on the one hand they were celebrating and on the other hand they seemed to be giving away. When Wang Feng walked out of the city tower in the south of the city, a bright moon in the sky had already emitted a bright white light. He was moved by the scene and remembered a poem by Li Yi:
"The sand is like snow in front of the beacon, and the moon in the city lasted like frost. I don't know where to blow the reed tubes, and I'll conquer people all over my hometown overnight."
Ma Yue's defeat was decided, and Wang Feng could see this from the spirit of the soldiers who attacked the city. The soldiers of the front army were obviously tired of beating their own people. Even if Ma Yue personally supervised the battle on the river bank with a knife, the soldiers seemed absent-minded. The attack and defense even reached a tacit understanding. The arrows shot by the soldiers did not shoot at the other side, but at the thick earth wall, or shot in the air. While shooting, they had to pay attention to: "Do away quickly, let's shoot arrows." After the ladders of the siege were set up, no one climbed up for a long time, and then they were calmly pushed down by the defenders on the top of the city.
The broken ladder was carried to repair it. The craftsmen were like they hadn't eaten for eight days, and they were slow to finish it. It took seven or eight people a ladder for a long time to complete it.
Ma Yue also saw this. Halfway through the battle, he hid in the boat parked on the river. Maka said angrily: "Is this the fuck called a war? It's more casual than usual to practice. If you continue like this, you're afraid that when it gets dark, they'll raise a bonfire and barbecue to drink." Ma Yue smiled bitterly: "Look at what should I do?" Maka thought for a while, sighed and said: "Let's retreat. Let's retreat, they should fight." Ma Yue understood that the "they" Maka said refers to Wang Feng and Baishuihu, and may also include Wang Lin.
"It's hard to get rid of a tiger now." Ma Yue sighed. He was confident that as long as he concentrated his troops to attack from the south of the city, it would be difficult to open a gap, but when the first round of attack failed, he realized that he was wrong. The army in his hand had completely lost its fighting spirit. The human heart is so difficult to figure out. He was still full of fighting spirit and was ready to die, but it collapsed in a blink of an eye. He led the army for many years and knew very well what the consequences of a collapsed army would be.
He must stop this kind of thing from happening.
"Ming Jin to withdraw the troops." Ma Yue finally made up his mind and added another sentence without waiting for the military captain to ask, "Order the retreating teams to set up camp along the river immediately."
"But this..." It is undoubtedly a taboo for military strategists to camp under the strong city. The lieutenant of the military felt that it was necessary to remind the general.
"Don't say too much! I have my own opinions." Ma Yue rudely interrupted the military captain's words. The military captain's concerns are not redundant. Not to mention that camping in a mess can easily give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. Even if the camp is set up, Wang Feng can only break them with one charge. But at this point, if he wants to remove the main force, he can only sacrifice part of his interests.
On the top of the city, Wang Feng, who had finished reciting the poem, took a deep breath, called Wang Yun and Wang Bi to the front, and said with a smile: "Take out all the wine and meat you have hidden, so that everyone can eat and drink, and rest for another hour. I will let you go out and kill tonight." Wang Yun looked at the former soldiers camping by the river, and was overjoyed: "Ma Yue is really a false reputation. Isn't it a way to camp with his back to the water and seek death?" Wang Bi said: "I don't think he is stupid. He probably wants to run away." Wang Yun was puzzled: "What are you doing if you want to run away? You have a lot of money and food to burn your hands?"
Wang Bi smiled and said, "This is called building a plank road openly and secretly passing through Chen Cang. He was afraid that we would bite him when he retreated and couldn't take off, so he deliberately put on this posture. You didn't see that all the soldiers who attacked the city during the day were listless. When he retreated, we would chase him, and the brothers over there might be the rebellion."
After listening to it, Wang Yun thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of it. He asked Wang Feng: "Second brother, is he right?" Wang Feng glanced at Wang Bi with a childish look on his face, then looked at Wang Yun with a confused mind, and smiled and scolded: "The rotten wood cannot be carved, but the child can teach you. Go and prepare quickly."
The south gate of Zhongshoucheng quietly opened at the second hour that night. Wang Yun and Wang Bi brothers led 800 elite Yamen to raid the Tiande Forehand Army camp on the river beach. The camp was empty and there were only a few soldiers guarding the village. Seeing that the Yamen rushed in and almost did not resist, they surrendered. When they asked the prisoners, they realized that Ma Yue and the main force of the front army had already quietly retreated to the south bank of the river. Wang Yun clapped his hands and laughed: "Thirteen is so good." He jumped to the south bank and cursed: "Ma, I am here, I have the affair with you for three hundred rounds."
Wang Bi reminded him: "Look at what the second brother wrote in the treasure bag for you." Before the two left the city, Wang Feng personally handed Wang Yun a treasure bag, and told him to open the treasure bag with Wang Bi after victory. In the treasure bag was a warrant from Wang Feng. The two of them looked at each other, and they were both surprised and happy. Wang Yun shouted at the soldiers who were searching for artifacts in the camp: "Drop the pots and jars! Come with me to kill the fox!"
Baishui Fox set up three camps north of Zhongshoujiang City, facing Huyan Valley, Huile Village and Zhongshoujiang City, and each other was in a horn. Baishui Fox stationed in Beizhai to deal with the horse crossbows in Huyan Valley. He had been defeated three times in a row, but he believed that as long as the Wang brothers could abide by the alliance and relieve his worries, he would still have enough confidence to turn defeat into victory.
After Wang Feng won the victory in the south of the city, he concluded that Ma Yue was no longer his main opponent. He quietly raised his sword and suddenly turned around and stabbed the Baishui Fox's back heart. Just when Wang Yun and Wang Bi's brothers led the army to attack the front army camp, Wang Feng personally led the main force of the Ya army out of the city to attack Baishui Fox's Nanzhai. Before this, Wang Feng asked eighty soldiers to drive fifty yellow cattle, one hundred sheep and fifteen carts of wine to visit the Nanzhai. The people of Shiwei happily accepted the items and left the eighty soldiers to drink in the camp.
Wang Feng used the Trojan horse trick to win a surprise. At the beginning of Hai, he left the city from the north gate. At the end of Hai, he captured Baishuihu's Nanzhai. It took only half an hour to attack Nanzhai except for the time he was on the road. What surprised him was that the Nanzhai was all old, weak, sick and disabled. After interrogating the prisoners, he realized that Baishuihu issued an order to transfer the elites in the village.
While Wang Feng was capturing the Nanzhai, Wang Lin was also ordered to capture Baishuihu's Xizhai. The strategies he used were almost exactly the same as Wang Feng's, and what he got was almost an empty camp. Wang Lin received the order from Wang Feng to send troops at the beginning of the Xu hour, and at this time he had no time to argue with Wang Feng. Wang Feng's intention was very clear. You, Wang Lin, must choose one between your brother and Baishuihu. Although Wang Lin strongly disagrees with Wang Feng's approach of destroying bridges across the river, he has no way out and can only bite the bullet and send troops to capture Xizhai.
When Wang Yun and Wang Bi brothers arrived at Nanzhai as promised, when the Nanzhai had been captured, the warlike Wang Yun was very annoyed, complaining that Wang Feng took action too quickly and blamed Wang Bi for walking too slowly. Wang Bi smiled and said, "Are you still afraid of fighting without a war? The white fox is still alive. Can we let him leave Tiande Army alive?" Wang Yun clapped his hands and said, "Yes, second brother, why don't we take advantage of the victory and kill him?"
Wang Feng pondered: "The Baishui Fox has transferred all the elites to the Beiying. Maybe he is preparing to attack Huyangu. If so, we can wait."
Wang Bi hurriedly advised, "No, we have seized his retreat, and he will know it soon. If he abandoned the village in anger and left, the north gate of the Zhongshoucheng City will be wide open. In this way, the Baishui Fox left, but Ma Yue was alive again. Now he can only take advantage of his surprise attack on the Beizhai, which can not only shock the foxes but also shock the horse crossbow. Ma Yue is already in chaos, and if we are scared by us, he may be unable to recover."
Wang Yun said: "Yes, second brother, we are all here, what are we waiting for? If we don't kill each other, we might let him kill him and kill us instead."
Thinking of this, Wang Feng made up his mind. At that moment, the three of them joined forces to attack Baishuihu, and at the same time, they quickly sent a horse to order Wang Lin to move to the south of Huyan Valley to restrain the horse crossbow. It was about forty miles from the Nanzhai to the Beizhai. Everyone rode their horses and galloped. In just half an hour, they saw the watchtower of the Beizhai. At this moment, Wang Feng received a shocking news: Wu Guihao, deputy envoy of Tiande, joined forces with Wu Guiyuan, the chief general of the rear army, and occupied the Zhongshou Suicheng City. Wu Guihao claimed to be in a desperate situation.
When Wang Feng heard this, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, and he fell off his horse.
Wang Yun and Wang Bi hurriedly hugged him, pinched the man and pressed his chest. After a long time, Wang Feng woke up. He cried to the two of them, "Brother foolishly is so stupid, you harm others and yourself." Wang Yun smashed the ground with a punch and scolded: "Wu Guihao, this old man deserves to die. Second brother, let's kill the generals now. Isn't it our opponents?" Wang Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Now your family are all in his hands, how can you fight with him? It's okay for your wife and children. Do you have to abandon your parents who have raised them?" Wang Yun was so angry that he gritted his teeth and was helpless.
The three of them were wandering and there was no way to do anything. The letter was written by Wang Feng's biological mother Lou Yuaner. Lou Yuaner said in the letter that the city was full of chaos and rumored that Wang Feng was dead. Wu Guihao had no choice but to claim to stay in the future to stabilize the morale of the people. The descendants of the Wang family and the Wang family had been taken to Yacheng to live in concentrated areas, so Wang Feng would not be worried. After reading the letter, Wang Feng burst into tears.
At this moment, a soldier came from the south, with about thirty or fifty people. For one, it was Mei Bao, the general under Wu Guihao's tent. He held the token and shouted far away: "The general has an order, Wang Feng will come to pick him up!"
Wang Yun was furious when he heard this, and pulled the bow and arrow and shot it away. Mei Bao suddenly fell off his horse, making his nose and eyes swollen. Wang Yun drew his sword and went to chop him up. Wang Bi hugged him and shouted, "Brother Jiu, don't be rash!"
Wang Yun shouted, "Get out of the way! This old man has ridden us, can he still tolerate him?" Wang Bi said, "The two countries will fight for war, and we will come to envoys if we don't kill them. We will all listen to our second brother."
Wang Feng stepped forward to help Mei Bao up and comforted her. Mei Bao was completely angry at this moment, and knelt down and submitted a letter saying, "General Wu has a letter to the young master." Wang Feng read the letter, took a deep breath, and said, "General, please rest. I will give you two things and I will go back." After that, he asked someone to help Mei Bao down and rest.
He called Wang Yun and Wang Bi aside again, and Wang Bi asked, "Do you really want to go back?" Wang Feng said, "Wu Guihao took our family, I must not refuse to go back." Wang Yun said, "Second brother will go back, I will go back too. I will follow you in the sea of swords and fire." Seeing Wang Bi lowered his head and said, "Thirteen, don't you want to go back?" Wang Bi said decisively, "I won't go back! I want to go to the third brother. Only when the third brother is safe and sound will Wu Guihao be cautious and dare not harm the second brother and our family." Wang Yun shouted, "In this way, we won't go back."
Wang Feng said: "What the Thirteenth brother said is reasonable. Wu Guihao has many close friends in the Yajun Army. If I don't go back, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no trouble. You all go to the third brother and help him stabilize his position. The life, death, honor and disgrace of the Wang family depends on you." At that moment, the three brothers parted in tears.
