The next day, Zhao Nianci, who was determined to win the Dangshan County Chronicle, ordered his soldiers to come out and prepare for war in front of the camp. However, the Wu army did not leave the city as yesterday, and also acted as a stance of being strictly guarded.

In order to incite the Wu army to fight, Zhao Nianci sent people to the city to curse.

For half a day, the soldiers of the Hezhong Army kept scolding and insulting.

However, the other party was still unmoved.

After noon, Zhao Nianci sent civil servants to the city to negotiate, criticizing Sun Ru and Gao Pian with words of persuading surrender. The soldiers of the Wu army were furious and asked Sun Ru for battle.

Sun Ru will not fight.

On the third day, Zhao Nianci ordered the soldiers in the army to lurk in the camp, and sent more than a thousand old men and weak people to the city to unload their armor and provoke them. Finally, they piled up a bonfire in front of the city to barbecue meat, drink and make fun of them.

This move made the Wu army generals on the city wall so angry that their eyes were so bitter that they beat their chests and stamped their feet one after another, and they asked Sun Ru for battle.

Sun Ru will not fight.

Not only that, he also tied up the two most quarrels and beat military sticks in public.

Before dusk, Sun Ru mocked Zhao Nianci at the head of the city: "It is said that there are many military strategists, and they will be invincible in the battlefield. Zhao Nianci is even a military strategist. From my perspective, it is just like this. If you have the ability, you will come and attack your city. Keep it, and you will never return!"

Zhao Nianci, who had no place to use his strength, couldn't help but be furious.

She said to the generals: "Our army defeated Shu army as if it were slaughtering a dog. Its 500,000 troops were destroyed in just a few days. Now our army gathered more than 20 troops from the towns, and obtained two kings as commanders to attack the Wu army with the force of Mount Tai. This is a military force that the dynasty has not been seen in a century. How can we keep our feet in Dangshan?

Then the army ordered the army to attack the city on three sides the next day.

Under Zhao Nianci's strict order, more than 20 military disciples led their own soldiers to take the lead, and the warriors' territory illuminated the Dangshan County Town like a pearl.

Under the leadership of Sun Ru, the soldiers of the Wu army resisted to the death, and the war was extremely tragic.

By sunset, the bodies under the city were blocked, and some ladders in front of the city walls were nowhere to be placed. Many military generals led their troops to attack the city, occupying a large territory for a time, but in the end they failed to fully gain a foothold.

Not only that, Sun Ru personally led elite monks to focus on hunting and killing military disciples, resulting in the death of three generals on the city.

The Wu army also suffered heavy losses. Relying on defending the city defense, the number of casualties actually chased out of the city formation.

At night, Zhao Nianci lit a huge bonfire in the camp, spoke sadly, and tributed to the three generals inspiring memorial service, and joined the crowd in blood. "The Wu army is weak. In today's battle, our army will be in the siege, and the number of casualties is still not higher than the number of killing enemies! In this way, even if the Wu army is trapped and still fighting, how long will it be rampant?"

"It's a pity that Sun Ru was sinister and vicious. He actually concentrated the monks to kill my military generals. He will not be a human being without avenging this revenge! I will wait for a good rest tonight, because this will be the last time you sleep before you win. From tomorrow, all the soldiers will rotate day and night, and will not withdraw their troops until they break the city!"

The soldiers were excited and shouted: "Don't destroy the city, don't stop the troops!"

At the fourth update that night, Zhao Nianci was meditating when he suddenly heard a vague noise from the direction of Dangshan County.

Before she could send someone to check, a monk hurriedly came to report on the military situation.

"General, the Wu army abandoned the city and fled!"

"What? Is this happening?"

"It's true! Wu Jun is fleeing east in several groups!"

"Bastard! Kill me three generals, and you still want to run away?! Beat the drums and gather the generals!"

Zhao Nianci didn't expect Wu Jun to run away.

When siege, the army surrounded three queu and one, which did leave a gap for the other party to escape. But this was just a conventional means to prevent the Wu army from fighting to the end. With the firm will shown by the Wu army in the past two days, they actually ran away like this?

In fact, in Zhao Nianci's original plan, from tomorrow's siege, she would have to encircle all sides and not give the Wu army a chance to escape. Because she had already determined that with the number and strength of her own military generals, even if the Wu army fought to the death, there would be only a dead end.

She had to kill all the Wu army to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Soon, the soldiers in the camp rushed out of the line, and the generals arrived at the tent.

Zhao Nianci said to the generals in a cold voice: "The enemy in Dangshan is the elite of the bandit army. They must not let them run away like this. Otherwise, if 700,000 bandit troops gather in the future, Xuzhou City will be difficult to attack. This general led his army alone for the first time, and he lost three military generals in Dangshan. He would never allow only one county town! The battle is just a few days away, and the Wu army fled at night. It must be because they knew it was not our opponent. It can be seen that they were already disintegrated. This is the only opportunity for us to expand the results of the battle! This general orders: pursue the Wu army and kill them all!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

As the generals were about to give up the bill, Zhao Nianci suddenly called them.

She thought for a while, "Although the morale of the Wu army is low, Sun Ru is a sinister and cunning person, and should not be underestimated. Beware of him setting up an ambush on the road!"

When she first came to Dangshan, she did not take Sun Ru seriously, but after several battles, her attitude towards this opponent changed greatly, which was her cleverness.

She snorted coldly again: "The thief army is defending the city, and it is not our opponents. If you encounter it in the wild, you will be even more unbearable. When you are chasing it in different directions, you should let the monks investigate it first, but the speed cannot be slower, so that the thief army will escape!"

All the generals admired Zhao Nianci's wisdom and all clasped their fists and said, "Yes!"

Zhao Nianci immediately thought that his vision was unclear at night, and even if there were monks patrolling around, it would be difficult to ensure that Sun Ru had any unexpected calculations, such as letting the partial army attract a large army to chase him far away, and she led the main force back to the horse and rifle to raid the camp, and she should have dealt with it.

Taking this into consideration, Zhao Nianci did not participate in the pursuit, and at the same time left 50,000 soldiers to defend the camp and guard against accidents.

After that, there was nothing to say.

After dawn the next day, good news of all sizes were sent back one after another.

At dusk, the basic situation has been clear.

All the troops chased and captured some of them, ranging from hundreds to thousands of kills, and they were not ambushed all the way.

However, after summarizing all the battle reports, Zhao Nianci not only did not feel happy, but his face turned pale and furious.

First of all, no troops chased the main force of the Wu army. Although they each had their own achievements, the total amount did not exceed 10,000.

Secondly, Sun Ru did not set up an ambush halfway, and the Wu army abandoned a lot of armor along the way, completely fleeing in a hurry.

Third, because Sun Ru did not have any conspiracy, Zhao Nianci's behavior of taking charge of the camp and defending the enemy became a joke. This not only dispersed the pursuit force, but also caused various troops to slash and kill the Wu army when they encountered the Wu army. This behavior of greed for military merit was not stopped in time by her present, which delayed the pursuit of the main force of the Wu army, resulting in the main force of the Wu army basically ran away.

Zhao Nianci shot the summary battle report on the desk and gritted his teeth: "Sun Ru, you bastard! I thought you really have some talent. It turns out that you are just a little trick to capture and kill some of my generals! In order to escape, nearly 10,000 soldiers were left far behind and let our army chop and kill at will. You... are simply a waste!"

She suddenly stood up: "I ordered the troops to go back to the camp, and then gathered together and marched towards Xiaoxian. I will lead the back camp's supplies and then arrive!"

......

Xuzhou, Xiaoxian.

A large number of Wu troops were quickly entering the city. The dusty team on the official road could not see the end at all. Many soldiers looked gray and looked quite embarrassed.

Sun Ru immediately walked by the way, watching the team marched with a firm look.

The deputy general looked worried. As Sun Ru's confidant, he hesitated: "General, in the battle of Dangshan, our army abandoned the city without authorization while still able to fight. Nearly 10% of the troops were lost on the road, and the abandoned soldiers were twice as big as this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Ru waved his hand and interrupted, "What the hell do you want to say?"

The deputy general gritted his teeth and said, "General, when retreating from Dangshan, we can set up ambush along the way and cause severe damage to the thief army... Some generals even believed that we did not have to retreat. In the name of retreat, we might even get miraculous results."

Sun Ru smiled, "Severe damage? Miraculous effect? ​​You underestimate this woman Zhao Nianci too much. When her troops attacked the city, they could kill thousands of our soldiers in one day, but the number of casualties was not large. Is this just because there were many generals under her command? Her ability to arrange troops and find weaknesses is terrifying, and her meticulousness is definitely not low!"

After a pause, he added: "We have few troops and our combat power is not superior. Whether it is division of troops to ambush or detour, it will be fine. Once we are defeated, it will be doomed! We retreated in several ways, and set up the same number of suspicious soldiers along the way to disperse their military strength. It is already very difficult to successfully return to Xiaoxian."

The deputy general thought about it and it seemed that this was the truth, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

"Say whatever you want."

"Yes..." The deputy general stammered, "But General, you said you wanted to wipe out the thief army before, but now we are retreating after losing our troops. This..."

Sun Ru said without rushing, "What's the hurry? Now that we are in Xiao County, everything will have conditions to start."

Speaking of this, his eyes were gloomy and sharper, "I have paid so many soldiers' lives and lost so many soldiers. I am not investing in the enemy!"

If you are not acquiring the enemy, you are naturally seducing the enemy. The deputy general still understands this principle. He said: "Our army has paid such a big price, but there is no substantial gain at the moment, so it is inevitable to attract criticism. If the King of Wu is dissatisfied, I am afraid that the general's situation will be..."

He didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was very simple.

Sun Ru looked toward Dangshan to the west, his tone was not heavy but very stable: "The more you pay, the more you can get. When the King of Wu gets the heads of more than 200,000 thieves, he will not be dissatisfied."

......

Songzhou.

Li Ye and Li Maozhen sat opposite each other, with only one person beside each other, Cui Keli and Zhao Bingkun.

The first person to speak was Cui Keli. He said to Li Maozhen: "Since the coalition forces gathered in Song Bo and Gunyi, the action plans of the troops under King An's command have been cancelled. Now all the people who are dispatched are the King Qi troops. Does this seem inappropriate?"

Li Maozhen gently shook the folding fan, his eyes curled slightly and said, "What's wrong? This king's troops charged forward, captured the city and camp for the coalition forces, and fought bloody battles, so that King An's troops could rest well. Is it still wrong?"

Cui Keli said: "If you don't say secret words in front of a wise man, you are so angry that you can hide your feelings by your wife?"

Li Maozhen suddenly had long eyebrows.

Li Ye coughed and smiled and smoothed the situation: "The King of Qi is willing to fight ahead, so the King of Gu naturally cannot stop him. However, the soldiers under the King of Gu also have the intention to make contributions to the country, and I hope King of Qi is considerate."

The reason why Choi Keli and Li Maozhen argued was very simple.

Whether it was Li Ye or Li Maozhen, the prefectures and counties captured by the troops under his command would naturally be occupied by him and would become his sphere of influence after the war.

Until now, Li Ye and Li Maozhen's troops have actually been pursuing the opportunity of choosing a place to station and garrison.

Now, this issue has become increasingly prominent and conflicted, and the generals below have already had friction.

For Li Maozhen, the "Fake King An" naturally obeyed his own orders, but Li Ye's old subordinates all believed that the "Fake King An" was the true King An, so even if the "Fake King An" himself was unwilling to fight, they would not watch it. Moreover, if the "Fake King An" had not fought, it would not be in line with his identity.

After the war situation changed, the original strategy of march had to change accordingly, so Li Maozhen took the opportunity to let his troops walk ahead.

Zhao Nianci's use of troops towards Dangshan is a product of this situation.

Not only that, Shangguan Qingcheng originally wanted to attack Suzhou, Wuning, but now he has been ordered to rest in Qiao County, and her mission is also replaced by Li Maozhen's confidant Liu Zhijun.

After hearing Li Ye's words, Li Maozhen pondered.

He thought secretly: "Although 'King An's command completely obeyed my orders, he could not transfer power to me after this battle. This was too strange and suddenly, and it was difficult to convince the public. The only feasible strategy was to allow him to occupy as much territory as possible in this battle. When I grasp the overall situation of the world in the future, through the change of official positions, with the cooperation of 'King An's', he would slowly divide Li Ye's old subordinates and annex his power."

Thinking of this, Li Maozhen smiled and said: "The strategy of entering the army was agreed upon by the king and King An, and there is no reason to change the orders every day. In fact, this is to let your subordinates accumulate energy. After all, there will be a lot of wars in the future, and you need to rely on your subordinates... This is also what King An means."

Cui Keli immediately turned his attention to Li Ye, full of doubts, confusion and scrutiny.

Uncle, your eyes are really vivid and your acting skills are good... Li Ye suppressed his laughter, coughed again, and pretended to say, "This is indeed what the Lone King means... Well, King Qi thinks, when will it be the time for our soldiers to go to the front line to replace your troops?"

Li Maozhen was old and showed the look of Zhizhu holding it. "If my king's army attack was frustrated, then he naturally needed the King An's troops to join the battle."

He added to his heart: "How come I can't deal with it just Gao Pian?"

Li Ye glanced at Cui Keli and showed his gaze for advice.

Boy... Your Highness, you pretend to be that way, very detailed... Tricky made a meditative look, nodded and said solemnly after a while, "This is reasonable... I hope King Qi will not break his promise."
