Chapter 40: Poisonous Trick to Safeguard the World(1/2)
There is finally news in the direction of Jincheng.
This kid Jiang Zheng did something quite disgusting, and he almost wiped Jincheng out to the ground.
The catapult car in Liu Yun's army is no longer an ordinary catapult car. Now they are all huge rocks filled with black gunpowder.
Jiang Zheng was really willing to do so. He forced his crossbow to suppress the formation, and shot thousands of arrows at once. Then he used a catapult to smash the city with a desperate attempt.
He broke a big hole in the thick city wall of Jincheng Pass.
Then the army entered the city, not to attack the city, but to grab grain.
After robbing Jincheng, the army immediately turned south.
The offensive was too fierce and the speed was too fast, so Han Sui didn't react.
By the time he divided his troops to chase him, there was no one left.
Looking at the news sent by the spy, Liu Yunle didn't close her mouth for a long time. Damn it, there was finally food.
Jiang Zheng took advantage of the chaos and took advantage of the situation and was quite beautiful when he was fucking fish, which was quite unique to Liu Yun.
"Lord, I can finally feel at ease now." Wang Zhi said to Liu Yun with a smile.
Liu Yun smiled faintly and said, "It's just a temporary solution to the urgent need. Compared with other separatist forces, we are still poor. We are located in the northwest border area and have no abundant resources, which is a last resort."
Wang Zhi took off his helmet, touched the sweat on his forehead, and said to Liu Yun: "The lord may form a caravan and go to Guanzhong, Guandong, Bashu and other places to exchange iron tools, paper, salt, and sweaters for food. I can exchange my abundance for others' abundance, and communicate with each other's existence or not."
Liu Yun shook his head and said, "This is indeed a solution, but it's too slow. Now Hanyang is the largest population in Liangzhou, and the number of soldiers is doubled. It is difficult for the caravan to solve the current problems in a short period of time. However, the caravan should indeed be formed."
"Then I'm afraid I can only rob it!" Wang Zhi smiled and said.
Robbery is his old job.
"I think it's pretty good to be a group of robbers on the land of Jiuzhou that scares the gentry. Today, let's rob Ma Teng first." Liu Yun said with an evil smile.
Wang Zhi turned his head and looked at Liu Yun's delicate face and nodded secretly.
He is worthy of being his true lord, and his behavior is so in line with his wishes.
But, isn’t Ma Teng an ally now? Do you still want to steal his?
"General, find an enemy scout ahead."
The scout's report interrupted Wang Zhi, wanting to find out what Liu Yun was thinking.
Wang Zhi just felt that he should prepare in advance when robbing Ma Teng, and it might be a little late at this time.
"Did you discover the movements of Han Sui's army?" Wang Zhi asked.
The scout nodded and said, "Fight at the city of Didao!"
"Why is the commander's flag?" Wang Zhi asked in a deep voice.
The scout replied: "The word "Ma" was written on it!"
"Ma?" Liu Yun exclaimed lightly and said, "Han Sui's eight generals have only one of his surnames, Ma, so it should be Ma Wan."
Wang Zhi nodded and said, "Han Sui must have hated his lord to the core. This horse is the last among the eight generals, whether it is personal force or the ability to arrange troops. The first place in these eight generals has been cut off by the lord."
"Are you talking about Liang Xing? That was blown up by you, not by me." Liu Yun corrected.
If he had the ability to cut Liang Xing, he would not have to be protected by these people in the end when fighting like cubs.
Wang Zhi smiled and said, "But he was defeated by his lord in the end!"
"So even Yuan Shao sent someone here, but who knows that I'm just taking advantage of the situation. Of course, luck is also part of my strength." Liu Yun said with a lip silence.
In this era, the carriages and horses are very slow, but the upper-level information circulation is not slow.
Liu Yun's name should be known to the world now when he was separating Hanyang.
Wang Zhi did not agree with Liu Yun's words, and he did not think it was caused by luck.
In this world, only the lord should have the weapon that can break up mountains and rivers, and this is strength.
"Lord, the scout of the horse play has discovered us. When will we attack?" Wang Zhi asked when he said the serious matter.
Liu Yunzong went up to the top of the mountain and looked at Didao City, which was located on the ancient riverbed from afar.
The ravines and mountains blocked their sight, and Liu Yun could only barely see a little.
The dense crowds of people, looking into the distance, look like ants.
Compared with this mountain and river, people are insignificant after all, and the greatest is life.
He reached out and grabbed a handful of the bitter wind in the mountains. After Wang Zhi followed, Liu Yun said, "Wait first!"
"Wait?" Wang Zhi's thick eyebrows squeezed together and asked strangely.
Liu Yun said: "We are here, giving horses a threat. Their scouts discovered us, but it should be difficult to determine how many troops our army is. Gai Xun's troops have also arrived twenty miles east of Didao."
Wang Zhi finally understood and said, "Does the lord plan to force the horse to make some moves?"
"If I don't force him, he will definitely do something, such as division of troops to reject him!" Liu Yun said with a faint smile on his lips.
Wang Zhi understood Liu Yun’s meaning. When he moved, his true form was revealed, and when he was still, his virtuality was unclear.
Four thousand cavalrymen were stationed here to watch. Ma Wan only knew that Ma Teng's reinforcements had arrived, but she didn't know how many people it was.
But if these four thousand soldiers and horses are fighting out, everything will be clear.
Ma Wan led tens of thousands of troops, so naturally she would not be afraid of these 4,000 cavalrymen.
Wang Zhi asked, "Lord, this should be considered a trick of doubting the military?"
"If you understand this, you can also say that in short, it's a bluff! Our cards are not good, so you can't play cards. You can't just fool him first and find a way to lure the enemy into the depths." Liu Yun observed the surrounding terrain and said to Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi's eyebrows, which were stained with thick ink, became tighter and tighter.
As long as he discussed the method of platoons with Liu Yun, Wang Zhi felt like a waste. As a general of the army, he could only charge forward and use his brains to make things difficult for him.
Just like Liu Yun's words just now, he understood two words in total: scare people.
As for the other cards that are not clear, Wang Zhi didn't know what it was.
I want to ask the meaning of Liu Yun’s words, but Wang Zhi’s old face is a little unsatisfied. He seems to have been asking some idiotic questions all the time.
After hesitating for a while, Wang Zhi gave up asking which card was, and asked, "Lord, what should I do if I don't get fooled by Ruoma?"
Liu Yun let out a long sigh. In the cold weather, his mouth turned into white mist as soon as he opened his mouth.
What Wang Zhi asked was also what Liu Yun was considering at this time.
Although his mind is running at high speed, there are very few ways, and Liu Yun can't get rid of the category of a common man after all.
He did not directly answer Wang Zhi's question, because Liu Yun did not have an answer now, but said: "We intercepted the food and grass for horses to play with. Do you think he knows it or not?"
Wang Zhi shook his head decisively and replied: "It must be unaware of it. The baggage officer was killed and the rest of the soldiers were captured. Ma Wan will know sooner or later, but it will never know so quickly."
Liu Yun's eyes drooped slightly and said, "Without food and grass, this is a lonely army. There are only two options left for Ma Wan. Lead the army north to seek Han Sui's supplies. Or fight back and capture Didao."
Wang Zhi sighed lightly, and he understood Liu Yun's meaning.
"Then the lord has to wait, and wait for the horse to find out that the food and grass were robbed." Wang Zhi said with a frown.
Liu Yun rubbed his hand that was a little stiff and stiff, and said, "This is just one of them. The horses have a chance of tens of thousands of troops, and their troops are several times more powerful than us. We can't fight hard, so we can only use methods. Ma Teng divided his troops into three groups. Although he didn't know how many soldiers there were in the city, he would definitely not have many. You and I now only have four thousand cavalry, and Gai Xun only has eight thousand people."
Wang Zhi habitually grabbed his beard from left to right and fell into deep thought.
Why did he always feel that he would definitely lose in this battle?
"Ma Wan's sudden appearance of this army, Ma Teng should have been scared. He thought he was unparalleled in his wisdom and victory, and he could just wait for Han Sui to get into the trap. Who knew that tens of thousands of soldiers fell from the sky to surround the city overnight. I always felt that Han Sui's backup plan was probably more than that." Liu Yun said.
Wang Zhi asked in confusion: "Why does the lord think so?"
The two of them dismounted and walked slowly along the snow-covered ridge. Liu Yun said: "If we don't plan, Han Sui's troops would be a means to restrain Ma Teng's strategy, and it was an overwhelming arrangement. We had reason to suspect that someone in Ma Teng's army rebelled against Han Sui."
Liu Yun was analyzing Wang Zhi, and at the same time he was also analyzing himself.
Now it seems that everyone has put their cards on the surface, but everyone still has a lot of secret cards in their hands.
The most important one among them is Han Sui.
Wang Zhi was shocked and said in surprise: "For example, someone is an internal supporter in Didao City?"
"This is not impossible. For us, we can just be careful of this move. In the Battle of Didao, Ma Teng was always the host, and we were just reinforcements. If the horses were fooled by us and divided the troops to take over the two armies and horses of Gai Xun, then we have the opportunity to take advantage of it." Liu Yun said slowly.
Although the topic was a bit erratic, Wang Zhi finally knew what to do about the next battle.
"The art of harassment?" Wang Zhi asked with a hint of uncertainty.
Liu Yun nodded. Actually, he didn't like using this trick.
Rounding around like a mosquito and waiting for an opportunity to harass the enemy is a sign of insufficient strength.
If you have enough strength and just crush it, you won’t have to spend all your brains on it to get into trouble.
To put it bluntly, it is still a bit of a tiny bit.
After all, he is still lacking in strength, and Liu Yun has to recognize his own shortcomings.
Pinched a withered grass and held it in his mouth. Liu Yun pointed his finger at the Tao River, "The Tao River, the river water flowing out of the Dragon King Palace, flows into the Songyin River from south to north. In this northwest, it is the largest tributary. If I were a horse play, I would dig the river directly and flood Ma Teng."
Wang Zhi looked at it carefully for a while and felt that this method was feasible. He couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Lord, what if Ma Wan really does this?"
"Then he is still a smart person, but it's difficult to do this, and Ma Wan can't do it for a while. If he wants to flood Didao City, he has to build a dam downstream, forcing the Tao River to divert the route and pour into Didao City." Liu Yun curled his lips and said.
Many people have done this trick in history.
But Liu Yun couldn't do it, so he was still too kind. He always thought of the people's injuries when fighting.
"Wait and see how horse play will play next. Han Sui wanted to trap General Gai Xun and I to death at Jincheng Pass. Now the feng shui is changing, but it is his turn to suffer." Liu Yun said in a teasing tone.
To be continued...
