Da'an Wu Fei's army had returned to the capital of Da'an three days ago, passing through various cities along the way and gathering many more troops.
When they arrived at the capital, they actually had 700,000 troops. Wu Fei returned to the defense so quickly and his troops were so large that Yang Sheng really didn't expect it.
Suddenly, Wu Fei's army cooperated internally and externally, causing Yang Sheng to suffer a big loss. Although Yang Sheng was still in an advantage now, it was no longer obvious.
Yang Sheng blamed Li Tian for all these sins. According to Yang Sheng's idea, Li Tian's military strength could not hold Wu Fei back for half a month, in which case he could capture the capital of Da'an.
It was good now that Wu Fei was fine and came back with a mighty force. Yang Sheng thought about it, since Wu Fei's army had returned without a trace, it would definitely be Li Tian's army that suffered the loss.
According to the intelligence, Li Tian's east-route army has a total of 300,000 troops. It is estimated that only two-thirds of the troops are left at most. Now our army is besieging the capital of Da'an. Li Tian is a master who will not suffer any losses.
I am definitely here to take advantage of the situation. Then I will take the opportunity to kill Li Tian first. As long as Li Tian dies, Da'an will be mine sooner or later.
Yang Sheng gave Zhang Chengliang an order to lead 200,000 light cavalry and ambush him at the place where he must pass from the capital of Da'an to the alliance city. If Li Tian didn't come, then, once he came, he would rather lose 50,000 horses than take down Li Tian.
There is a human head on the neck of heaven.
Yang Sheng laid the plan, and Zhang Chengliang wanted Li Tian's life even more. So even if Zhang Chengliang paid an additional 50,000 troops this time, he would be willing to kill Li Tian and have him brought to justice.
Li Tian and Shengun didn't know that someone was plotting against them. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the capital of Da'an, the two of them were still happy.
"Gang, we are finally here. I estimate that we are thirty miles away from the capital, and the Bird Tribe will be able to spot us. As for our obvious big car and the big flag on it, I was too embarrassed to take it off along the way.
I'm afraid that the Bird Tribe won't be able to find their target. What do you think the Chaodu army would be like when they see us coming this way?" Li Tian said to the magic gun while sitting in the car.
"No need to ask, it must be cheering. Seeing that this divine envoy is so great, casually coming over in the enemy's battlefield, besides cheering, it is probably filled with tears. Of course, you have also calculated some strength here. I will be cruel when I go back.
I highly praise you." The magic stick is very proud now.
Li Tian smiled. Even he felt that this trip was really great. The two of them were talking and laughing in the car.
"Sir, the road ahead has mountains on the left and forests on the right. I wonder if you should ask someone to explore the road first." The guard captain came to the car and said.
"What the heck, Guihe and Da'an are having a lively fight right now. Who has time to ambush here? Besides, we are friendly forces with Guihe now. It's okay, just go ahead." The magic stick said carelessly.
Li Tian thought about it and it was right. He didn't refute anything and the group moved forward as usual without any worries.
Zhang Chengliang stood on the top of the hill and looked at Li Tian's cart, especially the big flag with the word "李" on it. He became angry when he saw him.
"General, the big car has entered our ambush circle. Do you want to send a signal to start taking action?" Zhang Chengliang's deputy asked in a low voice.
"Hmph! You don't know how cunning Li Tian is, and you don't even think about it. How can a single army commander go to kill the enemy with just a few people? There must be a conspiracy here. I guess Li Tian wasn't in the car at all.
, this is an illusion. He and his army are behind, let this car pass, the army is not allowed to be exposed, wait for me, we must wait until the army arrives." Zhang Chengliang said confidently.
This is also a case of being bitten by a snake once and fearing the rope for ten years. Zhang Chengliang was teased by Li Tian and almost died of anger, so this time he is very stable.
Li Tian's handsome car swaggered past the ambush circle and drove forward for more than ten miles. Guihe's camp could be seen in the distance. Li Tian asked the car to stop and waited for Chaodu here.
The army came to greet him. Now that the crisis was everywhere, he did not dare to run around.
Besides, in the capital of Da'an, with the arrival of Wu Fei's army, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had a backbone, and their speech became much tougher than in the previous days. After three days of rest, the army basically recovered its strength.
Fortunately, Da'an's family has a strong family background, and the army's war horses are also fully equipped.
Wu Fei hated Yang Sheng's betrayal to the bone, and now his troops were all in order. He immediately reported to the Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor that he would fight with Guihe's army.
The empress dowager and the young emperor did not understand the art of war. After listening to Wu Fei's deception, they thought they had a chance to win, and immediately agreed to Wu Fei's suggestion.
Yang Sheng has not been attacking in the past few days. He is now waiting for Li Tian. Unexpectedly, Wu Fei launched a counterattack at this moment.
When Yang Sheng heard the news, he snorted angrily and said, "I asked him to take advantage last time. Wu Fei really thought he was capable. Come on, gather the troops, and give him a head-on fight this time. Let's see."
Whose army is powerful?
Order the left and right vanguards to bring their own light cavalry to protect the two wings of the army. The heavy cavalry camp will take the main battle. The infantry camp and the archer camp will press behind. Prepare siege equipment. If the enemy army is defeated, attack the city immediately.
Order the second echelon to retreat five miles and stand by. If our army retreats, the second echelon will immediately block the enemy's offensive."
While Li Tian was still waiting for someone to come to pick him up, he heard the sound of bugles outside the capital city, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and a fight actually broke out.
"Damn! Listen to the noise, this battle is quite serious. Go and observe on your own to see if there are any of our troops." When Li Tian saw that the battle was about to begin, he was really afraid that Chaodu's army would get involved.
After a while, the guard who was looking for information ran back, "Sir, we didn't notice our flags. It was the troops of Guihe and Da'an who were fighting. It looks like it's a big war."
"Oh, a big battle! Since we don't have any of our people, Li Tian, I think we should go further away. If we are disrupted, we won't be able to bear it if another group of people comes over." The magic stick started to get nervous again.
"Gun, you are right this time. If you don't leave, you might get involved. Brothers, let's go back another thirty miles and come back after they finish fighting." After Li Tian finished speaking, he got in first.
Entering the car. The magician has learned to be smart now, and follows him into the car.
A group of people returned the same way and passed Zhang Chengliang's encirclement again. Zhang Chengliang was getting angry. Why didn't Li Tian's army come yet? Seeing Li Tian's handsome flag cart coming back, Zhang Chengliang smiled and said: "Li Tian
Oh my God, Li Tian, you are still playing such a little trick, have you ever seen a man who is the commander of an army, having nothing to do, wandering back and forth against a big flag in an area where he can hide an ambush?"
"No, I've never seen it before." His subordinates echoed.
"Haha, even a fool would not do this, let alone Li Tian is not a fool." Zhang Chengliang smiled and watched Li Tian's cart move forward bit by bit.
"The general is shrewd and saw through Li Tian's trick at a glance." The deputy general also flattered him.
"Such a trivial skill dares to show up to me. This general is sure that Li Tian is not in the car." Zhang Chengliang said with certainty.
Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Tian walking out of the car, standing in the car and stretching, and the magic stick followed him out like a shadow.
Now Li Tian's big car is basically out of the ambush circle, Zhang Chengliang's mouth is open, but he didn't give the order.
Now Zhang Chengliang wanted to slap both of his mouths. The person he wanted to kill was in this big car, walking back and forth in a swagger. He didn't even give an order, and he said a lot of things.
It's just a little trick, it's nonsense like being a fool. It's good, I've become a fool first.
"General, General, you are out, they are going out."
Li Tian may not know many nobles and soldiers, but he is the only one with a bald head in this continent. In this society, bald heads are never allowed, and even if he is bald, he has to pay whatever he has to thank.
Besides, the bald head that appeared on the handsome car in Chaodu is more certain to be the divine messenger. With him in the car, Li Tian must be there too. Regardless of whether Li Tian is in the car or not, catching the divine messenger back is also a great achievement, so the lieutenant hurriedly
Remind Zhang Chengliang who is still in a daze.
"Blow the horn and capture Li Tian alive." Only then did Zhang Chengliang reflect.
As soon as the horn sounded, war horses emerged from the woods, behind rocks, and dug tunnels.
"Holy crap! Who are these people?" The magic stick looked at the cavalry emerging all around in surprise.
"Damn it, no matter who he is, he is definitely not a good person. Brothers, run away!" As soon as Li Tian finished speaking, the coachman shook the horse rope, and the cart sped out with forty guards following closely.
Both sides of the car.
More than thirty cavalrymen chasing them from the woods have already caught up with them. The twenty horse masters who were guarding them fired three arrows in succession as soon as they turned around.
Just hearing the sound of "whoosh", the thirty or so cavalrymen who were leading the charge immediately fell off their horses.
There are more and more pursuers. No matter how fast the carriage is, it is still a carriage. It cannot outrun the war horses. The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
"Whoever captures Li Tian alive, I, Zhang Chengliang, will reward him with one hundred thousand silver." Zhang Chengliang shouted loudly from behind.
"Oh my god, this guy has a hundred thousand taels! If it's one million taels, I'll capture him alive first." When the magician heard about the money in his busy schedule, he wanted to push Li Tian to the ground and go hand over hand with Zhang Chengliang.
Hand in hand.
There must be brave men under a heavy reward. I saw a few cavalrymen pulling out their sabers and stabbing the horses in the buttocks. The horses suddenly jumped up.
When Li Tian heard that it was Zhang Chengliang, he thought it was over now. This guy would not let me go even if he chased me until dark. Li Tian looked at the magic stick and saw that it was this bald man who had saved him in several times of crisis. He didn't know that this guy was the one who saved him.
