Eight hundred and seventieth chapters shouting under the city
Laizhou...
Just as planned earlier, Niu Gao came back defeated. However, although the result was as expected, the process was not. The opponent's trick really surprised Niu Gao. Fortunately, the smoke arrow
Taking the enemy by surprise minimized the losses. In fact, even if he wanted to fight hard at the time, he might not be able to win. Moreover, Yang Zaixing's bravery made Niu Gao no longer dare to take the rebels lightly.
After returning to the barracks, Niu Gao told Yue Fei everything he had seen and heard during the trip.
After hearing this, Yue Fei was surprised and said: "It seems that this rebel army is not useless." After saying that, he smiled and said: "That's fine, if the opponent is too weak, it will be boring."
After all, he was just starting out, and he could count the number of times he went to the battlefield on one hand. He actually wanted to take this opportunity to test his own strength. Of course, even now, he was determined to win.
Niu Gao nodded and said, "That little thief's marksmanship is extremely agile. Maybe you are the only one who can compete with him."
Yue Fei smiled and said indifferently: "The battle between the two armies is not a show of courage."
"You are right, but what should we do next?"
"Stand still for now, wait until we find out the terrain of Kunyu Mountain and the enemy's deployment before we make plans. Also, let's see what Tao Fang and the others do?"
While the two were talking, three people suddenly walked in from outside. It was the two Pussy Supervisors and Zhao Mingcheng. When the three of them heard that Niu Gao had returned in defeat, they were so anxious that they couldn't even eat, so they hurried
Came over.
As soon as Cai Chao came in, he asked: "General Niu, I heard that you escaped back. Is this the case?"
Niu Gao said sarcastically: "Is victory or defeat a common thing for military officers?"
Cai Peng said: "But that's not what you said when you went there. Moreover, the two of you made various oaths in front of the Xuanfu envoy. What will you explain to the Xuanfu envoy now?"
Cai Chao added: "You acted recklessly and returned in defeat. You should be dealt with according to military law."
Compared with external forces, Yue Fei hates dealing with this internal pressure even more, and said: "Two supervisors, we have just begun, and we still don't know who will win or lose. Please rest assured, we will definitely do it."
Capture the Tao brothers."
Niu Gao nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right, that's right, it's not a big deal, so don't worry."
Cai Chao said: "We are here to supervise the army under the orders of Xuanfu. How can we neglect our duties?"
Niu Gao thought to himself, since the moment you arrived in Laizhou, you two have not neglected your duties. I'm afraid you don't even know how many people are in the military camp. Of course, you can't say this, and glanced at Yue Fei.
Yue Fei frowned slightly and was silent at the moment, seeming to be hesitating about something.
After meeting Zhao Mingcheng, he said: "Two generals, if you have any difficulties, if you have any difficulties, you can tell us and we can work out a solution together."
At this point, Yue Fei knew that if he didn't reveal his plan, these people would never give up. He said, "Actually, it's like this. Niu Gao deliberately lost the battle."
When Zhao Mingcheng and the other two heard this, they were all surprised and couldn't help but look at each other.
Cai Peng frowned and said suspiciously: "You mean, this is a strategy?"
Yue Fei nodded and said: "Yes, we are using a tactic to lure the enemy."
Cai Chao said: "Then what are the two generals' plans next?"
Yue Fei didn't want to reveal too much. If the enemy knew about it, his trip to Niu Gao would be in vain. He said: "You three, please rest assured that we will never let down the trust of the Xuanfu envoy. Please give me a moment.
Don't be impatient and wait for good news."
Er Cai and Zhao Mingcheng knew nothing about marching and fighting, and Cai You brought two generals, Yue Fei and Niu Gao, with him on this trip. The choice before them was to trust Yue Fei and Niu Gao.
The next day.
"Report! General, the enemy has entered our Laizhou border this morning."
A sentinel quickly entered the camp and said anxiously.
"What?"
Yue Fei suddenly stood up, which surprised him. He originally expected that the enemy would retreat to his hometown after winning once, but he didn't expect that the enemy would advance instead of retreating.
Niu Gao was furious and stood up and said: "These thieves are really bullying people. They don't know how high the sky is. If we don't teach them a lesson, how can they take us seriously? Brother Yue, let me order five thousand soldiers and horses to march out of the enemy's city."
, I am willing to issue a military order this time, if I don’t win, I will never come back.”
Yue Fei glanced at Niu Gao, then asked at the sentry post: "How long will it take for the enemy to reach the city?"
"Reply to the general, no more than an hour."
"So fast?"
Yue Fei frowned slightly, with a smile on his lips, and said to Niu Gao: "You came back less than a day ago, and they arrived shortly after. It can be seen that they only made a temporary decision and were not fully prepared. It seems that your plan is to lure the enemy.
Very successful. This attack is nothing to worry about. Moreover, the less the other party takes us in their eyes, the more beneficial it will be to us. General Niu, there is no need for you to be angry. Let them be arrogant for a few more days. Then I will
Hit them all in one fell swoop.”
At this point, he added: "Please give me my order to close the city gate tightly and let all the soldiers go to the city to defend the enemy. Without my order, anyone who dares to go out of the city to fight will be dealt with according to military law."
"As commanded."
An hour later, Yue Fei and Niu Gao stood on the east wall and looked into the distance. They saw a huge yellow dust storm in the distance. As this "dust storm" approached, the sound of horse hooves gradually sounded.
After a while, the enemy troops came to the city and formed a formation, seemingly preparing to attack the city.
Yue Fei chuckled and strategized: "I, Yue Fei, am just a three-year-old child, waiting for this formation, who can I scare? Forget it, I will play with you for a while." He said with a slight lift of his left hand.
Swish, swish, swish!
The archers on the city wall immediately entered combat mode, waiting for the enemy to attack.
"The enemies have already reached the city. What can we do?"
Following this panicked shouting, Er Cai was seen running up in a panic, with his hat on his head. Not only that, but Zhao Mingcheng and his wife were also following closely behind.
"General Yue, why are you still standing here? Why don't you quickly lead the troops out of the city to retreat from the enemy!" Cai Chao was inexperienced. When he came up and saw the enemy's domineering formation, he was so frightened that he almost wet his pants.
It has to be said that the enemy's bluffing formation can scare these rats.
Cai Peng then said: "Yesterday, I said that Niu Gao was faking defeat and it was a ploy to lure the enemy. Now they have lured the enemy to the city. Your plot has succeeded. Why don't you send troops to repel the enemy?"
Among them, the impression of fighting is that of two people fighting. When they see the other party coming, their first reaction is either to run away or to call for help. As for tactics and strategies, they don't care so much. They just ask for help.
Yue Fei can drive away the enemy immediately, so don't be scary here.
It is really a misfortune for our Song Dynasty to have such supervisors! Yue Fei felt helpless and said: "Supervisors, I am already retreating from the enemy."
"Already retreating from the enemy?"
Everyone was stunned. Li Qingzhao said: "What did General Yue say?"
Although Yue Fei had never met Li Qingzhao, he knew that Li Qi had a good relationship with Li Qingzhao, so he did not dare to neglect him. He pointed his hand and said: "Look, everyone, the enemy army is no more than ten thousand, and they can't even surround a corner of the city wall.
Moreover, they all go into battle lightly, without even a ladder. If they want to attack the city, unless they can fly, they will die anyway. In this case, why should our army go out of the city to meet the enemy and just wait for the enemy to come and die.
"
Li Qingzhao raised his eyes and nodded slightly.
Cai Chao was now eager to achieve success and said: "Although General Yue's words are not unreasonable, we are here to suppress the rebellion, not to defend the city."
Niu Gao rolled his eyes and said hehe: "You two are supervisors. If we want to go out of the city to meet the enemy, we must obey your orders. But, can you guys go to the west gate first?"
Cai Chao was stunned when he heard this and said, "Why is this?"
Niu Gao clicked his tongue and said: "The enemy is coming fiercely and with high momentum. General Yue means to avoid his sharp edge. Of course, if we fight, we may not lose, but we still have the possibility of losing. If we lose, then the enemy
We can take advantage of the situation and sneak in. By then we are afraid that Laizhou City will not be able to defend itself. We will not hesitate to die on the battlefield, but you are innocent and you can escape from the west."
Li Qingzhao frowned and said decisively: "How can this be done? What will happen to the people in the city if we leave?" Then she turned to Zhao Mingcheng and said: "Husband, you are the magistrate of Laizhou, and you should live and die with the people.
"
She was also a layman in fighting, but she still had integrity in her heart. She felt that her head could be cut off and her blood could be shed, but the city could never be lost, let alone abandon the people and flee.
Zhao Mingcheng groaned, looking a little hesitant. He nodded awkwardly but did not respond.
When Li Qingzhao saw that her husband didn't answer, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he was very angry. However, she was a woman after all, so it was not convenient for her to say anything.
Niu Gao's words were so frightening that Er Cai's mouth was trembling, and both of them were sweating profusely.
Yue Fei didn't know that Niu Gao was deliberately trying to scare them, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. If the enemy attacks, I will make sure they never come back. However, I don't even dare to think about them. They will retreat within three days."
, Laizhou is worry-free.”
Hearing what Yue Fei said was so easy, several people took reassurance. They all thought that if they wanted to fight, they would have to fight hundreds of miles away, not under Laizhou City. It would be too dangerous.
Thinking of this, they no longer urged Yue Fei to send troops to meet the enemy.
At this time, I suddenly heard a cry from below the city: "My ox, do you want this trump card back?"
The rebels burst out laughing.
A hundred meters away, I saw a young general riding a white horse, holding a copper mace high, running back and forth in front of the formation.
Niu Gao scratched his cheek and lowered his head, his face dull.
Yue Fei looked at the man and said, "General Niu, this is the Yang Zaixing you are talking about."
Niu Gao nodded.
He then heard Yang Zaixing say: "Xiao Niu'er, if you come out, Grandpa Yang will give you this trick and fight you for three more rounds. If you take one more round, your Grandpa Yang will lose. Do you dare to fight?"
Seeing that the other party still didn't answer, Yang Zaixing yelled and cursed again: "It is said that the Imperial Guards of the Capital are the most elite army of our Song Dynasty. They can bully the people, visit brothels, defeat battles, and can do anything. When I saw them today, they really lived up to their reputation!"
Yue Feiwu just smiled and said nothing, letting him yell and curse.
Yang Zaixing's voice was filled with smoke as he shouted. Seeing that the other party was not fooled, he felt helpless and suddenly waved his hand.
After a while, a soldier came out leading a small ox.
Yang Zaixing waved his hand and hit the cow on the butt with his mace. The little calf let out a frightened "moo" and ran forward. Yang Zaixing chased after him on horseback, waving his mace, and while driving the cow, he shouted: "Little calf"
My son is as timid as a mouse. I want to use my mace to scare him out of fear. He flees here and there without daring to turn his head back. His legs are as long as those of a deer. If you look at his back, his armor is like a turtle shell, but his head is missing. Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
The rebels laughed loudly again, raised their spears high, and shouted in unison: "The legs are as long as a deer, look at its back, its armor is like a turtle shell, and its head is missing."
