Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 16 Lure the Enemy Duo

"Quick, quick, save Qu Shuai!"

Under Deng Mao's urging, the five thousand Yellow Turban thieves who were marching quickly rushed down the Juma River and rushed towards the beach on the other side.

This scene also gave Cheng Yuanzhi, who was originally a little desperate, hope again. He swung the long-handled sword in his hand like a windmill and couldn't splash water.

Even though Zhang Fei seemed to be impatient, he did not hesitate to besiege Cheng Yuanzhi with Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry, but the large number of people and horses hindered each other and made it difficult to launch an effective attack on Cheng Yuanzhi.

Seeing that the nearest yellow scarf thief in the Juma River was about to land, Zhang Fei roared with anger and helplessness on his face, and then he spoke.

"I will save your traitorous son's life first, and I will come and get it myself another day!"

"Get out, get out, get out!"

Immediately, Zhang Fei led the remaining fifty riders and quickly headed towards the dense forest with some of the wounded.

Cheng Yuanzhi deliberately wanted to stop him, but when he reacted, he found that he was almost out of strength and could barely hold the long-handled sword in his hand.

However, after experiencing one against many, Cheng Yuanzhi's heart unconsciously rose with pride, and he felt that there was no other hero in the world than this.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Deng Mao patted his horse and stepped forward. Looking at Cheng Yuanzhi covered in blood, he asked with concern.

Even though Deng Mao didn't have the slightest fondness for Cheng Yuanzhi, who was violent by nature, he also knew that as his commander, Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't let anything go.

Otherwise, once Cheng Yuanzhi, who is the commander of Qu, dies, a group like the Yellow Turban Thieves, which mainly relies on "faith" as its cohesion, is likely to quickly fall apart.

"Hmph, what can a few thieves do to me?"

Cheng Yuanzhi shook his weak arms, but his expression was full of disdain and scolded.

"If you hadn't arrived a little late and frightened Zhang Fei away, I would have killed Zhang Fei here."

Deng Mao did not open his mouth to refute. Just when he was about to persuade Cheng Yuanzhi to join the large army first, Cheng Yuanzhi, who gradually recovered, raised his long-handled sword and ordered.

"Under the yellow sky, follow the orders of the great sage and good master, change the sky, change the day, and recreate the world of great unity. All the people of the Tao, follow me to kill!"

"and many more……"

Deng Mao quickly grabbed Cheng Yuanzhi and persuaded him urgently. "Senior brother, the book of war says: Don't enter the forest, don't chase the poor bandits."

"Shut up!"

Cheng Yuanzhi shouted angrily.

"The thief Zhang Fei has insulted me like this. If I don't kill him, I won't be a son of man! Furthermore, I know very well: An army has no constant momentum, and water has no long shape. Do you think the Qin army will never enter the dense forest during the war? Don't think I haven't read it. If you have passed the Military Book, you will not know how to fight. When I led my brothers to kill officials and slaughter officials, you were still babbling."

Deng Mao's face became extremely ugly, but he still suppressed his anger and persuaded him. "Shuai Qu, what I'm worried about is that there is an ambush in the dense forest!"

"ambush?"

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at Deng Mao with an idiot's eyes and said.

"If Zhang Fei's men still had any courage, they would have swarmed me just now. Why did they fight me so fiercely, and finally returned without success and were forced to retreat?"

As soon as these words came out, Deng Mao couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded, feeling that what Cheng Yuanzhi said was reasonable.

If Deng Mao were Zhang Fei, then since he had lured the enemy general into an ambush surrounded, how could he not come out in full force and kill the enemy general here?

Once Cheng Yuanzhi, who is the commander of Qu, dies, it will inevitably lead to chaos among the Yellow Turbans, and even most of the Yellow Turbans will choose to flee.

The crisis in Zhuoxian County will be resolved immediately.

"Okay, Deng Mao, don't talk nonsense. The speed of horseback riding in the dense forest has been greatly reduced, and Zhang Fei actually dared to take away some of the burdensome wounded, so he will definitely be able to catch up."

When he thought of Zhang Fei's name, Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't help but gnash his teeth and wished he could eat his flesh alive.

However, when Deng Mao looked at the deep forest, he still felt uneasy in his heart and said. "I'm still a little worried..."

"That's enough. If you're scared, you coward, just stay here and wait for the rest of the Yellow Turbans."

Cheng Yuanzhi said impatiently, and immediately led five thousand Yellow Turban thieves into the dense forest, leaving only Deng Mao and his ten Yellow Turban warriors who served as personal soldiers.

……

What Deng Mao didn't know was that on a reverse slope on the east side of the river beach, Liu Bei looked at Cheng Yuanzhi leading the mighty five thousand Yellow Turban thieves into the dense forest. He couldn't help but look worried and murmured road.

"Bei originally thought that the third brother's bravery, if not invincible, would be unmatched. I didn't expect that Cheng Yuanzhi was so powerful. Even if the third brother led fifty cavalry to besiege him, he would still remain invincible."

"In this case, the second brother can only lead a thousand men. Can he really stop Cheng Yuanzhi and the five thousand Yellow Turban thieves?"

What Liu Bei responded to was Li Ji's hearty laughter.

The worried Liu Bei asked in confusion. "Why is Zikun laughing?"

Li Ji raised his palm, turned it back and forth, and signaled. "Brother Xuande also lacks confidence in Yide's courage. In Ji's opinion, there are no more than ten powerful generals in the world who can rival Yide."

"Could it be that God doesn't help me? There are only a handful of people in the world, and I just happened to meet one of them." Liu Bei sighed and said.

Li Ji shook his head helplessly, understanding that Liu Bei, who was just starting out, lacked self-confidence in his heart, so he stopped talking and spoke bluntly.

"Brother Xuande, aren't you surprised why the Yellow Turban Warriors led by Cheng Yuanzhi were defeated by the Hundred Cavalry led by Yide?"

Liu Bei was startled and suddenly discovered this point that he had inadvertently ignored in the past.

If Cheng Yuanzhi was as brave as Zhang Fei, how could the Yellow Turban warriors be defeated by a temporary group of hundreds of horsemen?

"Zikun, you mean...Yide is cheating?"

"Of course."

Li Ji smiled and nodded and said.

"Why, if Cheng Yuanzhi is killed on the spot, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely be in chaos." Liu Bei asked.

"and then?"

Li Ji asked back, which immediately made Liu Bei fall into deep thought.

Today, the total number of the Yellow Turban bandits and the Yellow Turbans composed of the people who were kidnapped and joined is still as high as 60,000.

Even if Cheng Yuanzhi died and the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, it would definitely be a monster that Liu Bei's two thousand soldiers could not swallow.

By then, perhaps most of the entire Yellow Turban Army would have split and disintegrated. Instead, these Yellow Turban thieves might have scattered to various parts of Zhuojun to plunder, causing serious damage to the entire Zhuojun.

"So, it's not that Yide couldn't kill Cheng Yuanzhi, but Ji's advice in the bag strictly ordered Yide to fake defeat no matter what when he was ambushing on the river bank. The Yellow Turban Warriors can kill him, but Cheng Yuanzhi must not be killed." " Killing only the leader of the thieves will only prolong the chaos in Zhuo County; only killing most of the yellow scarf thieves here is the right solution."

Li Ji spoke slowly, his eyes turning cold as he looked at the dense forest in the distance, but he seemed to have seen a flame rising.

With that flame, Liu Bei and Li Ji took advantage of the rolling heat wave to soar in this troubled world.

"Without a false defeat under absolute superiority, how could Cheng Yuanzhi be completely convinced that there was no ambush in the dense forest, and how could the entire Yellow Turban Army be completely disconnected from the front and the rear, and then be divided and defeated."

Li Ji murmured, shocking Liu Bei who was also learning the true nature of the entire strategy for the first time.

Li Zikun actually planned this?

It can be said that the people's hearts and geographical advantages are used to the extreme.

Ordinary people will definitely be wary of a trick to lure the enemy for the first time, but when they clearly have an absolute chance but have no choice but to retreat the first time, they will undoubtedly not be prepared at all for the second time.

Cheng Yuanzhi undoubtedly fell into the trap of luring the enemy for the first time under Zhang Fei's irritation, but Deng Mao remained calm throughout, so he vigorously led the Yellow Turban headquarters to march urgently for support.

However, neither Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao nor the other Yellow Turban thieves would have expected that there was a real ambush in the dense forest.

Link by link, the psychology of Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao were completely controlled.

"Zi Kun, he is truly a god."

Liu Bei, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, looked radiant for a moment, and he was full of unprecedented confidence in his future with Li Ji.

With Li Ji's help, why should we worry about our ambitions being buried in the mountains and plains?

"Brother Xuande, don't praise me anymore. I can only play tricks on the Yellow Turbans and others. If my opponent has a resourceful strategist under his command, it will not be difficult to see through it."

Li Ji shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Liu Bei patted Li Ji on the shoulder and said seriously.

"Zi Kun, you should also have more confidence in yourself to be prepared. Zi Kun's plans are not inferior to anyone else in this world."

"Furthermore, what if there is a military advisor under Cheng Yuanzhi who sees through Zikun's plan? Zikun's plan has calculated people's hearts to the extreme. No matter how doubtful the military advisor is, Cheng Yuanzhi will definitely not believe it. seek."

Li Ji looked at Liu Bei's serious look, and couldn't help but feel a little recognized in his heart.

Although there is a "strategy simulator" for deduction, this strategy is the general idea formulated by Li Ji based on local conditions.

Li Ji suggested with a smile.

"Hahaha, Brother Xuande praised Yu a little too early. The enemy is already in our pocket. Why don't we catch the Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop and praise Yu Ji again at the celebration banquet."

"What Zikun said is absolutely true!"

Liu Bei suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded in agreement.

As the Yellow Turban thieves led by Cheng Yuanzhi gradually penetrated deep into the dense forest, the noise made by the march of five thousand people could be heard clearly even by Li Ji and Liu Bei on the reverse slope of the mountain col at the edge of the dense forest.

The next moment, Liu Bei, who was looking far away, saw a little fire starting to rise on the edge of the other side of the dense forest, and he quickly asked the flag bearer to issue instructions to the soldiers on the edge of the dense forest.

Immediately, with the help of igniting materials mainly composed of ignition oil, a wall of fire quickly rose up visible to the naked eye at the edge of the dense forest on both sides.

It's just that the dense forest here has sufficient water and there is no strong wind to help, so it is difficult for the fire to sweep away to the center of the dense forest. Otherwise, the fire alone would have a chance to bury the five thousand Yellow Turban thieves here.

Also due to the sufficient moisture, the smoke produced by the fire was far greater than usual. A large amount of smoke rose into the sky and spread rapidly towards the entire dense forest.

Later, Liu Bei left ten of Li Ji's strongest soldiers to serve as personal guards, and then personally led the rest of the soldiers towards the entrance from the river beach into the dense forest, completely cutting off the Yellow Turban Army's front and rear.

This vision of billowing smoke immediately changed the face of Deng Mao, who was waiting at the river beach, and he realized that Cheng Yuanzhi might have fallen into a trap.

However, now there are only ten yellow scarf warriors left under Deng Mao. Even if he wants to enter the dense forest to meet Cheng Yuanzhi, he is unable to do so.

"Quick, urge the Yellow Turbans behind to arrive as soon as possible, otherwise Qu Shuai will be in danger!"

Deng Mao, who looked extremely ugly, quickly sent five yellow scarf warriors to urge the large troops still behind.

What made Deng Mao feel at ease was that in less than a moment, the Yellow Turbans, who had been expelled by the Yellow Turban thief warlords and marched in a hurry, were about to arrive at Juma River.

Immediately, the anxious Deng Mao did not hesitate at all, and kept urging the Yellow Turbans, who were mainly composed of old, weak, women and children, to cross the Juma River and prepare to enter the dense forest for rescue.

Li Ji, who had been watching from the opposite slope in the distance, saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he murmured.

"The overall situation has been decided."

When the Yellow Turbans finished crossing the river and Deng Mao quickly organized his troops to enter the dense forest for rescue, a thousand soldiers led by Liu Bei had already set up a defensive formation at the narrow mouth of the river beach leading to the dense forest.

"Damn it, there really is an ambush!"

Looking at the thousand soldiers led by Liu Bei, Deng Mao felt completely cold. He had no idea where Taipingdao spies were scattered throughout Zhuojun. Where could the soldiers come from to lay such an ambush.

'Could it be... Cao Liu Bei, the thief who led two thousand men? '

Deng Mao couldn't help but recall the spy information he had received not long ago, and felt that this speculation was extremely ridiculous.

How could a mere two thousand people, as many as ants, set up such an ambush?

However, even though Deng Mao knew that he had completely fallen into the trap, in order to support Cheng Yuanzhi, he could only continue to frantically order the Yellow Turbans to attack the front established by Liu Bei.

However, these Yellow Turbans, which are mostly composed of old, weak, women and children, are inherently weak in combat power and do not even have many serious weapons.

Normally, if you follow a real Yellow Turban thief or Yellow Turban warrior into battle, you can still have some effect.

At this moment, after experiencing such an urgent march and being forced to cross the cold Juma River, most of the old, weak, women and children had lost their fighting capacity without fighting.

Even if Deng Mao kept trying to organize troops to break through, the Yellow Turbans could not exert any numerical advantage at the mouth of the river that could only accommodate ten people at the same time. Instead, they were firmly blocked by a thousand soldiers led by Liu Bei. Outside the mouth of the river beach.

Different from the battle situation in the river beach, the dense forest at this moment was already filled with thick smoke, which not only made it difficult for the five thousand yellow scarf thieves who penetrated into the dense forest to distinguish between east, west, north and west, but also kept coughing.

Even as the thick smoke continued to grow, the visibility in the dense forest gradually reached the point where it was difficult to see beyond ten steps.

And Cheng Yuanzhi was worthy of being a somewhat brave person. He knew that he was definitely deep in an ambush, and the light of fire could be faintly seen through the thick smoke on his left and right sides.

Cheng Yuanzhi knew that he had to get out of this dense forest as soon as possible, otherwise he would probably be killed in the sea of ​​fire.

Therefore, Cheng Yuanzhi kept shouting loudly, using his voice and behavior to guide the direction of the yellow scarf thieves under his command, and then led the crowd to rush forward with their heads down, intending to forcefully break through the encirclement.

Until, Cheng Yuanzhi, who was holding a long-handled sword, suddenly saw a figure behind the thick smoke in front of him, stroking his long beard and holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword upside down. His phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, his face was like a jujube, and he looked like a god.
