Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 759
"Cheng Rong?" Zhu Kai was scared out of his wits, and quickly tightened the reins. The horse roared, Cheng Rong's whip was criss-crossing, and the heroic tiger and cardinal cavalry attacked violently like an overwhelming mountain, killing the Vietnamese army. After Bao Si's plan, he was furious, but seeing that the morale of Zhou's army was high and it was difficult to resist, he ordered to retreat.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for your ingenious plan!" At this time, Xu Chao escorted Baosi's Luanjia, and came to Cheng Rong. Baosi smiled lightly and praised Cheng Rong again and again.

"Empress Dowager, hurry back to Luoyang immediately with Master Xu Chao, so that the villain will not set up any more tricks!" Cheng Rong persuaded Bao Si with his arms folded.

Besides Shuilongguan, Bo Li resorted to the old trick again, sending spies to Luoyang to create rumors that were not conducive to Cheng Rong and Qutu Mingchao. Ming Chao had already betrayed his country. For a while, it seemed that there were ferocious noises everywhere inside and outside Luoyang. People were discussing vicious rumors about the collusion between the Northern Expedition Army led by Cheng Rong and Ju Tu Ming Chao and Xi Rong.

At this time, Baosi had already sent his subordinates to explain the tricks of Xirong and Xue Ju to Shui Jian. Shui Jian, in the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, loudly reprimanded the treacherous ministers who slandered Cheng Rong and Ju Tu Mingchao, and issued an order in public to appoint Ju Tu Suddenly become the Marshal of the Northern Expedition!

Bao Si's face finally revealed a celestial smile.

Under the city of Shuilongguan, according to the arrangement of Boli, Kangka, and Anli, the Xirong soldiers used scorpions everywhere to create false appearances and confuse the Zhou army. It seemed that Xue Ju's reinforcements had already intercepted and killed Yingming's army, and Shuilongguan had no hope of breaking through.

"Hey! Kid Tutu, Zhou army officers and men, you are finished, Yingming has been killed halfway, and the army of the king of Yue will meet with my army of Xirong. You are desperate!"

"Kutu boy, your majesty has already listened to the rumors spread by our marshal, you have been insulted by everyone in the capital, what a shame!" In the dark night, in a vast wilderness, the extremely ugly voices of the soldiers of the Western Army could be heard everywhere.

"Marshal, could it be that Xue Ju really sent troops to the north, and General Yingming has already been killed?" An Tong asked Qu Tu very melancholy.

"An Tong, calm down, these liars are deliberately yelling and swearing to lure us into the bait. If Xue Ju really eliminated Yingming, Xi Rong would have joined forces with the Vietnamese army and attacked us at Shuilongguan by now!" Bai's An Tong smiled warmly, talking and laughing freely.

"My lord, are you really so accurate? King Cheng has been gone for half a month, so there's no information at all!" An Tong said in a panic.

"Ju Tu, this king has returned in triumph!" At this moment, the water dragon was turned off, and one person ran up the tower excitedly, and handed a letter to Qu Tu face to face.

Jug Tu took a closer look, and it turned out to be the handsome Cheng Rong, and immediately beamed with joy: "Brother Cheng, I didn't expect to win so soon? Has the Empress Dowager been rescued?"

Cheng Rong said with a dumb smile at Qutu: "Qutu, I knew you were worried about the Queen Mother, this letter is written by the Queen Mother!"

Jugtu opened the letter paper with great interest and read it carefully. It turned out that Baosi had already comforted himself with joy, saying that the strategy had succeeded, and he asked him to defeat the vicious and cunning Xirong people and protect the peace of the people in the pass!

"With Si'er's reply, I am more confident in defeating Boli. Brother Cheng, let's discuss how to annihilate Boli?" Qu Tu patted Cheng Rong on the shoulder very heartily.

"Toudu, if you want to get full success, you must use defense as an offense. Let's continue to stick to Shuilongguan. When Yingming's army arrives, we will attack back and forth and surround Boli's Xirong cavalry!" Cheng Rong waved his feather fan and smiled comfortably. road.

"Marshal, no matter how much we yell and intimidate the excavating army, not a single soldier attacked!" Seeing the complaints from his soldiers, Kangka immediately returned to the camp to report to Boli.

"Kangka, in this way, Qutu really believed the rumors we made, and really thought that Yingming was dead. Well, now our army doesn't have to rush to attack Shuilongguan. We just need to cut off the Zhou army's water source and food road, and Qutu He and Cheng Rong Mingchao will definitely lose!" Bo Li couldn't help but exclaimed triumphantly.

The next day, the army of Xirong went to control the water source of Shuilongguan, but unexpectedly just reached the downstream, there was a loud shout from the upstream, and a dam gate in the upstream was opened by An Tong's order. The Xirong soldiers were so frightened that they cried and howled. They were about to run away, but they didn't expect to be afraid. They were drowned in the flood in an instant and suffered heavy losses. Leading a cavalry to rush upstream, Cheng Rong waved his hands to the left and right, and with the sound of clappers, thousands of arrows were fired.

"What? Zhou's army attacked with water?" Seeing Kangka's tragic return, Boli was so angry that he insulted him loudly, and immediately ordered the Xibing soldiers to build a long wall and surround Shuilongguan. Unexpectedly, the weather was so cold that the land was very difficult to excavate At this time, Amway found that the Zhou army was storing grain in the city, and immediately ordered the soldiers to climb up the high platform, launch rockets, and burn the grain and grass. Unexpectedly, it was the north wind at this time, and the Xirong army fired rockets and flew into the city. Zhou Jun’s haystacks had been prepared a long time ago. The haystacks had long been eroded by lime and did not burn at all. Seeing that Xi Rong had fallen into the trap, Cheng Rong immediately ordered the soldiers to fire their firearms back. At that time, Xirong's rockets were not extinguished, but were ignited by the firearms fired back by Zhou Jun, causing a raging fire.

Seeing that Boli could not win for a while, he had to order the army to continue to build a wall to encircle Shuilongguan. Cheng Rong and Jutu sat on the tower, talking and laughing, and ridiculed for a while, making Boli furious.

"Bo Li, go back to your grassland quickly. I have enough food and grass in Dazhou, and my army is strong. You, Xi Rong, invaded without righteousness. You are really asking for trouble!" Cheng Rong stroked his beard and smiled, cursing at Bo Li resolutely. .

"Child Cheng Rong, hurry down to the city and fight!" Seeing that Cheng Rong and Qutu Mingchao didn't care about their long wall at all, Bo Li was so angry that he immediately waved his troops and scolded Zhou Jun day and night, trying to give Cheng Rong and Qutu Mingchao Ming Chao and others created a psychological shadow and won without a fight. Unexpectedly, at this time, a cavalry suddenly rushed into the rear of the camp and charged fiercely, causing the Xirong rear army to retreat.

"Marshal Qi, Yingming led the elite soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty and has come from the side!" The terrified Amway quickly came to report the situation of the battle.

"Xue Ju, the old thief, turned his back on what he said!" Bo Li was furious, and immediately ordered the cavalry to counterattack Yingming.

Yingming used a big sword to fight from the thousands of troops to the rear army. The Qin character banner was very conspicuous, causing Xirong to scream. Cheng Rong saw that Yingming had surrounded Xirong's flanks according to the plan, and quickly commanded the army to go out of the city to encircle the attack. Wielding a spear, seeing the Xirong cavalry, he bravely rushed to kill the Xirong soldiers, killing the corpses of the Xirong soldiers all over the field. Seeing that Que Tu was unsurpassed, Kangka roared and swung a huge ax to chop Que Tu, but was pierced by Dug Tu's carbine back. He fell to the ground and died on the spot. Seeing the bravery of the breakthrough, Bo Li quickly led his troops back.

"Kudu, look, although the Xirong cavalry was defeated, their morale has not disappeared, but they have become more and more rampant. I expect Boli to gather the main force of the cavalry and fight us on the plain!" suddenly said.

"Brother Cheng, do you want to attack immediately?" Que Tu asked, staring at Cheng Rong.

"No, Qutu, let's retreat quickly, let Boli think we are a little timid, and lead Boli to the river, so that the cavalry can't cut and kill!" Cheng Rong shrewdly suggested.

Boli saw that Qutu and Cheng Rong had retreated, and immediately ordered Anli to attack. Unexpectedly, Anli's iron cavalry was trapped by the river bank sinkhole washed by the river as soon as it approached the river, and could not continue to attack. Attacking, Amli's cavalry was in chaos, abandoning their horses and fleeing. The Xirong reinforcements had just rushed into the dry river when suddenly the upstream river began to flow down, drowning many war horses in the river, and they had no choice but to withdraw their troops angrily.

Bo Li retreated back to the camp in a state of embarrassment. Amli went forward to report that the army had suffered heavy losses and suggested a decisive battle with the Zhou army. Bo Li suddenly smiled cunningly and told An Li, "Am Li, are there any spies we sent to Luoyang to spread rumors? return?"

"Marshal, the water construction of the Zhou Dynasty has issued an order not to slander Dudu, our trick has failed!" Amway replied cowardly.

"No, Amway, since Shuijian believes in Qutu, but Hua Gu, Weihou, and Ma Wumen will not let go of Qutu. We will find a way to get close to them, talk about benefits, and give them a lot of money to let them take Qutu. The grain and grass are cut off, so it will be difficult for Qutu to return to his country and return to his family!" Bai Li smiled slyly.

"Okay, Marshal is really clever!" Amway couldn't help laughing triumphantly.

Luoyang Weihou's mansion, after receiving a lot of money from Xirong's special envoy Kaikang, Weihou quickly came to Min Guifei's palace and asked Min Guifei to persuade Shuijian to urge Qutu and Cheng Rong Mingchao to recover Lishan quickly, and then appointed himself as Digging Concubine. Sudden Food and Grass Director.

"Okay, Marquis Wei, we must let Qutu be completely trapped in Shuilong Pass! Only then can the hatred in my heart be relieved!" Concubine Min Gui gritted her silver teeth and said.

The next day, at Shuilong Shurendian, Shui Jian was very happy to see that Marquis Wei was willing to personally supervise the food and transport it to Shuilongguan, and immediately appointed Marquis Wei as the director of food and grass.

Marquis Wei was overjoyed and marched towards Shuilongguan under the flag of the Director of Food and Grass himself. Who would have thought that this night, when Marquis Wei was resting in the camp, a group of cavalry rushed into Marquis Wei's barracks. The lush horse flew into Marquis Wei's big tent, and pointed a sharp sword at Marquis Wei's vitals.

Marquis Wei screamed in fright, and the woman who was immediately covered with purple gauze quickly removed her mask, revealing Baosi's frown.
