This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 245 Differences
Fire attack plus concealment.

The Wanping army stronghold was instantly defeated.

In the chaotic formation, Wu Dun only hurriedly led hundreds of troops to escape.

He ran out a few miles out of breath.

Looking back, you can still see the flames rising into the sky.

There is also the noisy and violent shouting and killing behind him.

"Shuai Wu."

Several soldiers of the Wanping Army beside them were ashamed, and there was also a lot of frustration on their faces.

On the contrary, Wu Dun smiled.

He laughed twice.

Why are you laughing
Everyone was a little puzzled, it was so miserable, how could they still laugh?

Wu Dun laughed loudly and said, "I laugh at Cao Su who doesn't understand the art of war."

Cao Su doesn't understand the art of war?

Everyone was silent for a while, they didn't know the art of war, they beat them like this, if they knew the art of war, wouldn't they be able to kill General Jingu directly?
Just listen to Wu Dundao: "If I use soldiers, I will lay an ambush here in advance, what can I do?"

When everyone heard it, it seemed to be such a truth.

Sure enough, Wu Shuai is familiar with the art of war. Today is different from the past, and he knows such tactics of "predicting the enemy first".

Afterwards, they flattered wildly one by one, and all laughed and said, "What Wu Shuai said is very true."

"Cao Su's little boy, he doesn't talk about martial arts, so he just relies on some courage and can only attack sneakily."

"If it's a decisive battle, Cao Su can't be my opponent. I can kill him alone with the army."

Under the self-hypnosis of Wu Dun and others, the morale of the remnant soldiers was not so low.

Everyone cheered up and prepared to return to Xinfeng Town.

Xinfeng Town is another stronghold on the Nanxia Plain.

Although this stronghold is not as dangerous as the Yangchuan stronghold, it is superior in that it is large and based on a small town, supporting many Wanping army sergeants.

Wu Dun's [-] to [-] troops are all hoarded here.

"Cao Su only has thousands of people, so what can we do if we win this battle?"

"When I return to Xinfeng Town, make some adjustments, and immediately lead the army to cover up and kill them, how can he stop it?"

The more people talked, the happier they were, as if they saw the scene of Cao Su's army being defeated.

At this time, there was a loud bang from Yuanchuan.

The south gate of the camp was also smashed open.

Afterwards, Cao Su led a group of people and rushed out of the camp.

Cao Su took the lead, holding the big moon knife, and saw Wu Dun who hadn't run away a few miles away.

Excitedly shouted: "Wu thief, let's go!"

Wu Dun was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, and quickly turned around and ran again.

Cao Su led the army to hide and kill the past, and snatched the banner ordnance along the way.

Finally, after seeing that he could not catch up, he gave up the pursuit and led the army back.

At this time, Wu Dun, who was being chased like a dog, ran for more than ten miles in one breath.

The soldiers of the army under his command all looked hungry.

The horses were also tired, and many fell on the side of the road.

Wu Dunjiao's army took a break in front, and immediately there were soldiers who brought their own pots and gongs, and some who looted grain and rice from nearby villages picked up branches from the forest, buried pots in dry places to make rice, and cut horse meat to eat.

On the other side, Cao Su led his army back.

This wave of pursuit after rushing out of the camp killed millions of Ping troops.

Among them was a martial artist from the Wanping Army, who was beheaded by Cao Su with a single blow.

The soldiers under his command occupied the stronghold, and their morale was extremely high.

Even a little swollen.

Zhang Ke ran over and suggested to Cao Su: "My lord, why don't you let me lead the brothers to kill again, Wu Dun will definitely not notice, maybe he will be killed by me."

He is a fifth-rank, no matter how fat you are, you are still a fifth-rank. You are a peak seventh-rank, can you kill a fifth-rank?
Cao Su didn't listen to Zhang Ke's nonsense at all and rejected him.

"Don't talk nonsense, Wu Dun is also considered one of the top ten commanders under the command of General Shen Gong, how could he be unprepared, if he goes up now, he will definitely fall into his trap."

"Now our army has occupied the Yangchuan stronghold, and Liu Chuang has become a turtle in an urn."

"Next, just wait for the news of General Fan Long's capture of Xiting, the enemy army will be in chaos and retreat."

Xiting is the place where Wanping's army stored part of its grain. For the army under Wu Dun's command, part of the grain was provided by Xiting.

If Xiting was captured, it would be impossible for Wu Dun to counterattack based on Xinfeng Town, and he might even retreat some distance because of the food and grass problem.

As soon as Wu Dun retreated, Fan Long entered. After entering Xinfeng Town, he could completely enter the Lushan battlefield.

As for Liu Chuang, it seemed that he had no other way out except to surrender.

Therefore, Cao Su will not take the initiative to attack again, but will occupy this stronghold and wait and see.

Two days later, Xiting.

Fan Long swung his knife and beheaded the head of the last defender who resisted.

Blood splattered half of his robe, and his ferocious demeanor was full of ferocity.

So far, all the defenders of Xiting either surrendered or were killed by him.

Xiting was completely taken down by him.

The name of Xiting comes from a pavilion here.

This pavilion is built on the hillside. It is said that it was built by Meng Yu, a great poet at that time. You can enjoy the mountain and river with your fellow travelers on the hillside, which has a special charm.

At the Xiting stronghold, the grain and grass are also under the control of Fan Long's army.

With a smile on his face, Fan Long handed the knife to the soldier.

At this time, thousands of people under his command will rush over.

"My lord, Cao Su's battle report."

Cao Su battle report?

Fan Long was startled, although he took the Xiting with the momentum of thunder, Fan Long was still very worried about the situation of the battle in Cangjiang City.

Can Cao Su withstand the enemy's counterattack?He has nothing in mind.

So when he heard Cao Su's battle report, Fan Long immediately picked it up in a hurry.

Thousands of people sent the battle report with both hands.

Fan Long opened the battle report and browsed quickly.

"what!"

Fan Long screamed, showing shock.

General Qianren has never read the military report. This military report was written by Cao Su and was specially submitted to Fan Long. General Qianren is not qualified to read the battle report and can only be a mouthpiece.

But this does not hinder the curiosity of the thousand generals.

Everyone paid special attention to Cao Su's battle report.

Especially at this moment, when Fan Long showed shock, everyone became even more curious.

Can't help but ask one after another: "My lord, what did General Cao say?"

Fan Long handed the battle report to his subordinates, and said in disbelief: "Cao Su said that he raised troops overnight the day before yesterday, led his army to repel Wu Dun, and captured the Yangchuan stronghold."

what?
Captured the Yangchuan stronghold?
The soldiers below were stunned. Isn't Cao Su only [-] soldiers and horses?How can we conquer Yangchuan?
Was it Wu Dun who was just paper?So easily killed by Cao Su?

They took the battle report and took a closer look.

Fan Long said: "Cao Su gave me three strategies for me to choose."

"The best strategy is to raise troops immediately and fight towards Xinfeng Town together with him. Although Wu Dun has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xinfeng Town, these tens of thousands of elite soldiers are neglected in training. They belong to the ordinary Wanping army. Our army is carrying a great victory , can still win another victory.”

"The middle strategy is to stick to Xiting and strangle Liu Chuang's escape route. When the news of Xiting's seizure spreads to Xinfeng Town and Cangjiang City, the enemy will inevitably be in chaos. Sealing the town is as easy as pie."

"The worst strategy is to persuade Liu Chuang to surrender, accept Liu Chuang's thousands of troops, return to Cangjiang City to repair the armament, and then slowly plan."

After speaking up, middle and down, the soldiers fell into a deathly silence.

The Thousand Generals who originally wanted to compete with Cao Su completely gave up their hearts.

Cao Su is so good at fighting, but he can still provide Fan Long with such a strategy. How can they compete with each other?
Fan Long was also very surprised. To be honest, among the three strategies Cao Su sent, the middle strategy suits him the most.

"My lord, why is it a bad idea to capture Liu Chuang's thousands of troops without bloodshed?"

Thousands of people will not understand, is it not a good thing to raise thousands of troops in vain?

Fan Long said indifferently: "These eight thousand are all rebels. It's not like you don't know the imperial court's attitude towards the rebels."

"Liu Chuang, as an official of the imperial court, led the army to betray the imperial court. The imperial court has listed Liu Chuang as a person who must die. This official is a general of the imperial court. How can he be tolerated?"

The worst policy is mainly to consider the political influence.

As soon as Fan Long said it, those who didn't understand understood it, and immediately stopped talking.

Cao Su was really good, even taking this into consideration.

And for Fan Long, the capture of Yangchuan and Xiting at this moment is a great achievement, and the next step is to insert the army into the Lushan battlefield to form a local battlefield that will have an influence on the main battlefield as soon as possible.

Siege of cities has never been the main job of officers and soldiers.

Finding Wanping Army, killing Wanping Army, capturing General Jingu, and handing over the chief culprit to Shendu, this is what the counter-insurgency army really has to do.

So it's definitely not going to work if you take it slowly.

The best policy is too risky, and the medium policy is just right.

Thinking of this, Fan Long immediately accepted Cao Su's strategy without hesitation.

"Come here, pass on my general order."

"Order Fenwei General Cao Su to stick to Yangchuan and wait for the changes!"

The sergeant who gave the order clasped his fists to accept the order.

Just when he was about to withdraw the order, Fan Long stopped him again.

"and many more!"

The sergeant was slightly puzzled, and clasped his fists again.

Fan Long said in a deep voice: "I ordered General Fenwei to act according to circumstances."

"Capturing Yangchuan is a great achievement, and I know it's not easy. I will ask General You for credit for him in the future."

"Fenwei is the only fifth-rank official in the army other than me. Generals, lieutenants, and centurions must respect his military orders and not violate them without authorization."

When the other people around heard this, they suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Cao Su's treatment is not generally good, Fan Long wants to ask for credit for him in person.

Especially the last sentence, which seems to be for the messenger sergeant to deliver the message.

But it felt like saying it to a few of them who were secretly dissatisfied with him.

In Fan Long's mind, Cao Su was obviously treated differently from the others.
