Chapter 380: I Won’t Be a King in the Spring and Autumn Period Chapter 380: Scolding Fang Qiu
Li Ran finished the arrangement, and all the troops came according to the plan. Looking from under the city wall, he could vaguely see a crowd of people on the city wall. It was obvious that they were attracted by the three thousand soldiers and horses led by Pei Yin Yijiu.
Visiting the military.

Li Ran found a dry place to sit down, and the general beside him asked:
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Li Ran smiled slightly and said casually:
"Light the fire and raise the stove, you will be in the place where food, grass and baggage are stored!"
"Sir... this is a taboo for military strategists. Once the grain storage area is exposed, it will be easily found by the enemy. If there is any mistake, it will have a great impact on the morale of our army!"
"It doesn't matter, Li is still afraid that they won't be able to find him!"
Later, Li Ran ordered people to place the flag on the top of the mountain. In this way, not only the approximate location of the food and baggage was exposed, but now even his own position was exposed.
This made the generals look confused, but Li Ran did not panic. He only ordered a thousand men to stay behind, but placed 5,000 men where the food, grass and baggage were, to ambush.
There were still more than 6,000 people. Li Ran ordered 1,000 people to hide between the mountain and the baggage, while the last 5,000 people hid directly behind Shen Wuyu.
When the general saw this arrangement, he couldn't help but frown:
"Sir, if the enemy army comes straight to attack here, neither Pei Yin nor Master Shen may be able to stop it..."
"Don't panic, don't panic! Just wait and see what happens!"
Li Ran's confidence made the generals dare not say anything anymore. After all, Li Ran's reputation had already become famous all over the world after the battle in Chaoyi.
Moreover, he made many strange moves after that, and his military exploits in the Chu country were very great, and everyone knew about them. The generals were also aware of these deeds.
Therefore, although Li Ran is now making dangerous moves, Shen Wuyu and Pei Yin Yijiu still obey Li Ran's advice.
As a burst of smoke rose, everyone in the baggage camp began to cook on the stoves, and its location was completely exposed.
Li Ran didn't panic and just asked these people to prepare the meals and deliver them on foot. After a few hours passed, it gradually became dark.
Originally, Li Ran didn't have many troops at hand, with only a little over 10,000 capable warriors, and he had to protect his food, grass and baggage. But now Li Ran actually planned to "give up" the baggage directly.
Everyone knows that if the grain garrison is lost, their situation will only become worse. However, in Li Ran's eyes, he doesn't seem to pay attention to these baggage at all.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Ran ordered the hundreds of people who guarded the baggage to prepare pot helmets in advance and quietly distributed them to various ministries.
After everything was done, Li Ran slept in his clothes. The lieutenant who stayed with Li Ran was helpless when he saw that Li Ran was still so determined. He had no choice but to stay half asleep and half awake, and always stay vigilant.
Li Ran actually slept until midnight. As soon as he got up, he looked towards the city, but saw that nothing happened. A rather disappointed look appeared on his face.
Not long after, Li Ran suddenly discovered that the city gate had suddenly opened wide. And two more groups of people were marching out in formation. Knowing that this was the city, Wu Jun couldn't hold back anymore and finally took the bait!
Li Ran called another corps commander at this time, and after whispering a few words in his ear, the corps commander immediately went down the mountain. Li Ran then said to the general beside him:
"If someone comes to attack the mountain in a while, please ask the general to lead his troops to resist. It will be delayed as long as possible. You must go all out!"
"Here!"
The deputy general didn't ask any questions. After retreating, he hurriedly started to wake up the few soldiers.
Because Pei Yin Yijiu didn't dare to close his eyes in the first half of the night, and he only dared to take a nap in the second half of the night, and he didn't take off his armor all night long. When he got out of the tent, he suddenly heard that there were enemy troops in the direction of the city.
movement.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Wu Jun had already moved out.
He hurriedly gathered a thousand elite soldiers. According to the previous deployment, he only made a brief attack but did not fight. He withdrew them in time and stabilized his position, trying to lure the Wu army to pursue them.
But what Pei Yin Yijiu never expected was that the other party's troops were also divided into two groups. One group came to attack his camp, while the other group took a detour and went directly to the high ground where Li Ran was.
.
Pei Yin Yijiu also knew that Li Ran must have a backup plan. Therefore, he could not take care of his side at this time and could only focus on his own side to fight against the enemy.
After Shen Wuyu heard the movement, he also knew that the Wu troops in the city had already rushed out. At this time, the corps commander sent by Li Ran suddenly arrived.
After the corps commander whispered a few words into Shen Wuyu's ear, Shen Wuyu looked at the corps commander strangely, then just waved his hand and said:
"Okay! Go and report back to Mr. Wuyu, I understand!"
Shen Wuyu continued to lurk and did not expose himself.
When the group of Wu troops reached the foot of the mountain, they did not all rush up the mountain. Instead, they divided into two groups. One group attacked the mountain, and the other group went straight to the grain storage area.
When Li Ran saw this, he couldn't help but sneered, and ordered all his troops to lead a thousand soldiers to stand guard there and resist bravely.
The Wu people were approaching, and with a volley of bows and arrows, the Wu army that surrounded the mountain was immediately suppressed.
Just because in this mountain forest, the Chu army was condescending, and the archers missed their arrows, leaving the Wu army at a loss. Moreover, because the Wu army was divided into several places, the attack deep here was not very fierce, and this
Everything was as expected by Li Ran.
At this moment, a fire broke out in the food storage area. Li Ran looked back and saw that the generals were all anxious when they saw this. However, Li Ran remained calm and unhurried.
Immediately afterwards, another cry of killing came. It turned out that it was the ambushing Chu army who began to besiege the Wu army who came to burn the baggage!
At this moment, another group of soldiers and horses came out of the city, but they ignored the three thousand troops of Pei Yin Yijiu, and instead took a detour and rushed straight to the place where the grain was stored. Obviously, they were going to meet that group.
Wu Jun's.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are battlefields everywhere, and the fire is shining directly into the sky. Shen Wuyu originally brought four thousand troops, plus the hidden troops behind him, the two combined, a total of six thousand, wait until
When the city opened and closed for the third time, Shen Wuyu gave an order, the infantry took the lead, the archers followed, and the halberdiers lined up to attack.
Shen Wuyu directly led his men and rushed into the city. Since most of the Wu troops in the city had already left the city to attack the baggage, the situation was empty at this moment.
Shen Wuyu had nothing in sight but the Huaru City. For a moment, arrows flew away, like a plague of locusts, covering the sky and the earth. Shen Wuyu raised his arms and shouted:
"My fellow soldiers! Let Wu Jun take a look at our great man from Chu today!"
Shen Wuyu's words were conveyed by Tan Ma, and the soldiers were in high spirits and began to attack the city.
It turned out that Li Ran's strategy was to lure the Wu army out of the city to attack the commander's flag and baggage. He directly gave up his baggage and marched in danger, but let Shen Wuyu attack the city directly.
Food, grass and baggage were important, but after all, they were preparations for a protracted war. He knew very well that as long as they could successfully capture this place, what kind of baggage would they not have?
When the Wu army came to attack the mountain, they saw that their own family had been stolen, and their morale was completely lost. They wanted to turn around for rescue, but were directly stopped by Pei Yin Yijiu's troops. The Wu army who sneaked in to attack the grain and grass had no time to take care of themselves.
Where can I afford to go back for rescue?
At this moment, Li Ran asked the flag bearer to wave on the top again, and beat the drums of the march. All the soldiers came out in full force, and he and Pei Yin Yijiu joined forces again. At this time, there were only a few soldiers left around Li Ran.
The corps commander and a dozen soldiers.
Li Ran also climbed up to a hilltop to watch with great calmness. With a majestic appearance, he scolded Fang Qiu and smiled slightly. He watched Shen Wuyu capture the city.
