The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 13 Lure the enemy out of the city
"What? How did the imperial court's army arrive so quickly? It's only been a few days?" Zhao Li was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the bowl in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a "bang".

Not to mention Zhao Li, even Li Mu was a little surprised. According to his estimate, it would take at least ten days for the imperial army to kill them.

As the saying goes, speed is precious in soldiers, Li Yuan wanted to catch the opponent by surprise, so he deliberately accelerated the marching speed, so he led the army to Xingyang in just a few days.

"Chief Zhao, don't panic. It doesn't matter if the opponent is the imperial army. Now that we have occupied Xingyang City, the opponent only has six or seven thousand soldiers. As long as we defend ourselves and don't fight, they won't be able to do anything to us." Li Mu also knew a little about the art of war. , not exactly an idiot.

"It seems to be such a reason," Li Mu nodded, and suggested, "Why don't we go and see who the enemy general is first."

So Li Mu and Zhao Li led a group of big and small leaders to inspect the city wall.

At this time, Li Yuan and He Miao had a disagreement in the camp.

"General He, I think we should attack the city immediately. In my opinion, the city wall of Xingyang is not very tall, and the enemy must not have expected us to lead the troops here so soon. If we attack the city immediately, they will definitely be caught off guard."

"Li Xiaowei's words are wrong. I think you are still young, so you don't know much about the art of war. We have marched all the way, and the soldiers are exhausted. If you attack the city now, it will definitely damage morale. In my opinion, you should go ahead Rest for two hours before attacking the city." After He Miao finished speaking, he ordered to set up camp and rest where he was, the rush made him hungry and dizzy, and he had no strength to attack the city, so of course he had to rest first.

Li Yuan frowned. He knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade He Miao, he could not change He Miao's decision. What's more, he was right and he was vice, so He Miao didn't have to listen to him. opportunities, but nothing to do.

Suddenly, Li Yuan thought of a way, and suggested to He Miao: "General He, when attacking the city, we should encircle three quarters and one. Although we don't bring too many soldiers and horses, we should divide our troops into two groups. You attack the city. The west gate, let me attack the south gate, this way we can disperse the enemy's defense forces, and we can form horns to support each other, what do you think?"

He Miao thought about it carefully, then nodded and agreed: "Then do as you said, I will give you 3000 troops, and you go to the south gate to set up camp, but remember not to act rashly, otherwise I will ask for the lost soldiers and horses for you." .”

"Obey." So Li Yuan took three thousand soldiers and horses to the south gate to set up camp.

Seeing Li Yuan's leaving figure, He Miao couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Hmph, I really don't know what the emperor is thinking. He even arranged for a brat to assist me, and let him take some of the troops alone. The responsibility can be shifted to him.”

In fact, Li Yuan already knew that He Miao would look down on him because of his young age, but he didn't explain too much. On the contrary, Xu Zhu who was beside him was indignant.

"Ah, bah, what kind of a bastard is this He Miao, who dares to look down on us, and really wants to wring his head off!" Xu Zhu was furious when he thought of He Miao's contemptuous eyes just now.

Wang Wu also nodded in agreement and said: "Wen Zhong, this person thinks very highly of himself, and I'm afraid he won't take us seriously. I guess he just wants to send us away when he gives us troops."

Li Yuan was not very angry, and said with a smile: "He Miao has no ability, and he has come to this day because of the great general He Jin. He is a person who can't stand on the stage, and we don't have to worry about him so much."

"Wen Zhong, why don't I go and ask for the soldiers and horses in his hand, if he doesn't want to, don't blame me for being rude!" Xu Zhu was still angry, he didn't care about any military regulations, as long as he felt uncomfortable, he would do it.

"Don't be Zhongkang," Li Yuan hurriedly pulled Xu Zhu back, "Although He Miao despised us, he gave us 7000 for [-] troops. In the future, if it is reported to the emperor, we may be punished. The most important thing right now is not to argue with He Miao, but to quickly capture Xingyang."

"Zhongkang, Wen Zhong is right, we can't act impulsively." Wang Wu also pulled Xu Zhu back. Although he was not skilled in martial arts, he was much more calm in his actions.

"Okay, then let's give the order to attack the city immediately, and I will charge, and I will be the first to climb the wall." When it comes to charging and attacking the city, Xu Zhu can be said to be doing his part.

"Don't be impatient Zhongkang, there will be times when you will act naturally," Li Yuan shook his head with a smile, and glanced at the city wall, "The city wall of Xingyang is not very tall, and there are not many enemy soldiers and horses, all of which have not been trained. Soldiers, even ordinary people who have just put down their hoes, if we had [-] soldiers and horses attacking from three sides at the same time, we would have a chance to take Xingyang quickly. They don’t know how to cooperate, so now the forced attack on the city is not only impossible to break through, but also wastes the lives of soldiers in vain.”

"Then what should we do?" Xu Zhu was only good at fighting in battle, and only had a half-knowledge of military strategy.

"Hey, should we be like this??????" Li Yuan told Xu Zhu and Wang Wu his strategy. After listening to it, Wang Wu felt that it was feasible, so he immediately ordered his staff.

At this time, Li Mu, Zhao Li and the others were inspecting the west city gate, and they were relieved to see that He Miao did not immediately attack the city, because they were not ready, and now they hurriedly arranged people to defend the city wall, if He Miao had already begun to attack The city will definitely catch them by surprise.

On the city wall, Zhao Li saw the bright armor of the enemy's soldiers and horses, and couldn't help but enviously said: "As expected of the imperial court, look at the weapons and armor, they are much better than ours, I am really envious."

"Leader Zhao, don't worry. After we defeat them, we can grab their weapons and armor." Not only Zhao Li, but even Li Mu were also envious.

After inspecting the west city gate, everyone walked towards the south city gate, but just halfway through the road, they heard a burst of shouting and cursing.

"What's going on here? How can it be so noisy?" Li Mu and Zhao Li glanced at each other, but they didn't know what happened. They didn't hear clearly until they reached the south gate. vomiting blood.

"Li Mu, Zhao Li, you two shy turtles, you only dare to hide in the city, dare you come out and fight me for three hundred rounds!"

"Zhao Li, I heard that you don't dare to relieve yourself at night, you only dare to go if Li Mu is with you, hahahaha."

Li Yuan arranged for the soldiers to go up and curse Li Mu and Zhao Li in turn, and he personally taught them what they said.

When Zhao Li heard someone scolding him like this, he immediately became furious, ran to the south gate in a hurry, and shouted, "Who scolded me!?"

"Hahahaha, I asked them to say it. How about it? Am I wrong?" Li Yuan rode out on a tall horse with a playful expression on his face.

"You bastard is full of nonsense, give me your name, and I will eat you alive!" Zhao Li wished he could jump off the city wall and tear Li Yuan to pieces.

"If you don't want to change your name or change your surname, your grandpa is Li Yuan and Li Wenzhong. Come down if you have the ability!" Li Yuan pointed at Zhao Li with a spear in his hand, full of pickiness.

"Okay, just wait for me!" After Zhao Li finished speaking, he wanted to go down and teach Li Yuan a lesson.

Li Mu was not as impulsive as Zhao Li, so he quickly pulled him back and said, "Leader Zhao, don't be impulsive, this is the opponent's tactic to lure you into the city to fight with them, and then wait for the opportunity to break through the city gate. If you really go down Then he fell into his trick."

Hearing what Li Mu said, Zhao Li felt that it made sense, and was a little hesitant to go down. Seeing this, Li Yuan immediately said: "Zhao Li, are you really afraid of me? I heard that your wife has run away with others. , you still haven't come out to chase, do you want to choose to forgive her?"

"Hahahahaha." All the soldiers laughed loudly, even Zhao Li's people couldn't help snickering, Li Yuan's words were really powerful, as long as they were a man, they couldn't help it.

"Young Li Yuan is too deceitful, just wait for me, I'll take your head now!" Zhao Li ignored Li Mu's persuasion, and took all his men and horses down to the city to fight Li Yuan desperately.
