The first thousand two hundred and forty-six chapters vigilant against each other's taunt cards
Chapter 1,246: Be wary of the opponent’s taunting cards
Just when Yi Xiaotian and others were shocked by the intelligence from Yangxian, Zhuge Liang also received intelligence from both Jingkou and Yangxian.
This is why Zhuge Liang, a counselor who is clearly known for his stability, would directly deploy the entire army in the early stages of the war.
Because he knew that Piling today definitely did not have enough troops to resist their army's attack.
"Attack the city with all our strength! But with Yi Xiaotian's style, we are very likely to encounter an ambush by them before we reach the city..."
"Uh...ambush?"
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were sitting in a car, looking doubtfully at the endless wilderness in front of them - except for a bare hillside, there was nothing that could be called a bunker within the field of vision.
Just like that...Does Zhuge Liang also want to be careful about ambushes?
"That's right...it's just an ambush..."
Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and said this sentence calmly——
"Tell General Yide to be careful where he steps, and order a group of light cavalry to quickly explore the battlefield. In the battle of Xiangyang...Cao's army used a tactics called trench warfare at that time, so be sure to pay more attention."
The messenger quickly conveyed Zhuge Liang's order.
Zhang Fei, who was leading the cavalry at full speed ahead, immediately slowed down after receiving the order.
"Guerrilla camp! Send out a team of people to follow me to the front!"
"yes!"
Zhang Fei gave an order, and nearly a hundred Qingqi followed Zhang Fei out.
The extremely fast Qingqi and Zhang Fei formed a long snake formation - less than thirty miles away was Piling City. Even so, Zhang Fei still ordered to move forward with a shield.
Everything was just as Zhuge Liang expected. Yi Xiaotian repeated his old tricks and dug dozens of trenches——
Zhang Fei came to kill from afar, but now he was lying in ambush in the trench to fight the first battle for Jiangdong. Zhu Ran immediately noticed the enemy's strange behavior.
"Um?
Did the enemy suddenly send only one squad?
That is…"
Uncovering the khaki linen that served as a camouflage on his head, Zhu Ran looked far away and saw a big black face in the distance.
Although there was a moment of anger in his heart, Zhu Ran soon realized a more serious problem——
"No! If this continues, our disguise will be seen through!"
But... even though he was aware of the problem, Zhu Ran had no way to counterattack, because they were all infantry now, and their mobility was definitely not as good as the extremely fast light cavalry in the distance.
Just when he was in trouble.
The city gate behind rumbled open.
"Stop them!"
Lu Xun stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back and said lightly with firm eyes.
As the city gate opened wide, a cavalry force of nearly a thousand people suddenly rushed out of it - Lu Xun had long noticed the light cavalry sent by the enemy in the distance to visit the mines. Since the other party dared to underestimate them like this, he wanted to
If they reveal their disguise without paying any price, how can Lu Xun let the other party escape unscathed?
Lü Meng took the lead, flicked his whip fiercely, and the horse neighed and kicked off its four hooves, running forward at full speed.
The cavalry that followed were not to be outdone, and one by one, like lightning, they galloped towards the enemy from the open field.
Huhu——
Feeling the sound of wind and vibration above his head, Zhu Ran smiled knowingly, knowing that he also had a solid backing.
"The whole army is listening to the order, and when General Lu Meng comes back, be ready to pull up the resistance horse!"
"yes!"
——
On the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly.
Zhuge Liang naturally noticed the enemy's city gate opening in the distance. With a wave of his feather fan, the messengers beside him began to recall Zhang Fei's troops with their flags.
"General! The military counselor told us to retreat!"
"Hmph! How dare you go out of the city to fight, you really don't know how to live or die! Let's retreat!"
Although he said harsh words, Zhang Fei was quite sensible now. He knew that they were just going to explore the enemy's situation. Did they never think that the enemy would not only deny them this opportunity, but would even go out of the city to fight?
Zhang Fei turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly Lu Meng's shout came from behind:
"Zhang Yide! That arrow that grandpa shot you tasted so good! If you haven't had enough, take another arrow from me!"
The significance of this extremely mocking voice at this moment was not only to attract Zhang Fei's attention, but also to indicate that the distance between the two parties was no longer enough for Zhang Fei to retreat easily.
Zhang Fei, who was originally calm-minded, suddenly heard the familiar and sarcastic voice behind him, and suddenly he couldn't hold back his anger.
"You cowardless person, you dare to talk to me like this. If grandpa doesn't kill you today, my surname will no longer be Zhang!"
"Whoaaah!"
"General! General! No!"
What do you mean you can't stop ten cows?
Zhang Fei didn't give his subordinates any time to react. He actually turned around and attacked Lü Meng's nearly 1,000-strong team behind him.
This scene not only made Lu Xun on the city wall raise his eyebrows, but also laughed out loud.
It also made Zhuge Liang, who was marching in the distance, speechless and choked——
"Hurry up and send someone to support General Yide! Remember...don't come within ten miles of Piling City under any circumstances!"
"yes!"
Zhuge Liang gave the order, and naturally Chen Dao led a considerable number of cavalry to charge out.
But right now... they definitely won't be able to support Zhang Fei right away.
Because at this moment, Zhang Fei was already in close combat with Lu Meng.
Lu Meng rushed forward, preparing for a powerful and heavy blow for a long time. Even if Zhang Fei reacted, he could only passively parry——
There was a loud bang, Zhang Fei's hands went numb, and some blood oozed from the old wound on his shoulder.
But for a ruthless person like Zhang Fei, the more pain he suffers, the more he gets into trouble.
Especially when the enemy is right in front of you.
The two passed by each other, and Zhang Fei continued to turn around without saying a word——
Without muzzle speed, Lu Meng could only twist and dodge in the face of Zhang Fei's unrelenting thrust.
How could Zhang Fei give Lu Meng a chance to escape easily?
Turning the stab into a sweep, he moved the divine dragon to swing its tail, and the whole snake spear swept towards Lu Meng with terrifying power.
"Death to the rat!"
Zhang Fei roared angrily, seemingly about to take Lu Meng's life.
But at the same time, Lu Meng pulled out a long blade from his waist with his left hand, and without any hesitation, stabbed directly towards Zhang Fei's waist——
Zhang Fei immediately stopped his strength and deflected the stab with his backhand, only to brush against Lu Meng again.
"Rat! You are full of destructive moves! Do you dare to have a fair and square contest with me, grandpa?"
Zhang Fei was so angry. Who would have thought that Lu Meng, a guy who couldn't be beaten head-on, would trade his life with a dagger?
Although Zhang Fei is not afraid of death, he does not want to have to trade his life with others in such a frustrating way.
He was so angry that he could only scream from a distance.
"General Zhang! We are here to support you!"
Chen Dao's voice came at the right time. Seeing this, Zhang Fei immediately turned around and wanted to pursue Lu Meng. Unexpectedly, in the time he turned around, Lu Meng had already sprinted away a hundred or ten steps away.
"Hahaha, Zhang Yide, no one will tell you the rules on the battlefield. If you feel despicable, why not complain to your elder brother!"
Lu Meng's sarcastic voice came again, and Zhang Fei was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead, and he couldn't let Lu Meng go no matter what he said.
"You cowardless fellow! Don't run away! Ahhhh! I'm so angry!"
Zhang Fei was about to rush out, but Chen Dao stopped him.
"Uncle, don't stop me! See if I don't kill that kid!"
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Zhuge Liang's voice finally came -
"General Yide, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to teach the other party a lesson."
