Deng Yu smiled at Liu Jun and said, "Prefect Liu, don't worry, Zhonghua has his own plan in mind."
As Sun Cang walked down the city, he looked back. It wasn't that he really couldn't bear to leave Deng Yu, but he was looking to see if Deng Yu had any intention of killing him.
Until he reached the foot of the city wall, there was no movement in the city gate tower, and Sun Cang's heart dropped halfway.
When he walked to the city gate, the county army here had received Deng Yu's order and slowly opened the city gate.
Sun Cang took a deep breath and was about to walk out when a soldier suddenly stopped him. Sun Cang was shocked and stood frozen on the spot, not even having the courage to look back.
The soldier who stopped him brought over a war horse, handed the reins to Sun Cang, and said coldly: "This is given to you by General Deng, get out of here!"
Sun Cang was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He took the reins stiffly, pulled the horse, and walked out of Lunu City. Outside the city, Sun Cang braved himself and walked a few more steps. Suddenly, he turned around and knelt down with a thud.
On the ground, he kowtowed in the direction of the city gate tower and cried: "General Deng's great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by a villain. In the next life, I will work hard to repay General Deng's kindness of not killing today."
!”
After saying this, he kowtowed three times in succession, then got on his horse and headed straight for the Qishui River in the north of the city.
Sun Cang did not dare to delay for a moment, and ran along the frozen Qishui River to the north bank of the Qishui River, and then headed east again, running non-stop back to Anxian.
Now, Peng Ning is waiting for good news from Lu Nu in Anxian.
All the county troops in Lunu City had been brought to the opposite side of Anxian by Liu Xiu. Lunu looked like an empty city, and Sun Cang and Wei Bao were inside to provide internal support. Shen Ping captured Lunu in one fell swoop.
Easy as a piece of cake.
But he never expected that in the end, among the three thousand people in Shen Ping's group, only one Suncang would return.
Seeing Sun Cang returning in embarrassment, Peng Ning strode forward, grabbed Sun Cang by the collar, and asked in a solemn voice: "We have three thousand soldiers in the army, why are you the only one who came back? He said,
What exactly is going on?"
Sun Cang turned pale with fright and told Peng Ning what happened. Finally, he choked and said: "Liu Xiu was cunning and saw through our plan. In turn, he used a trick to ambush him in Lunu City.
With heavy troops, General Shen and the three thousand brothers below were completely wiped out. The guard pack also died in Lunu City in order to cover my breakout. If the villain hadn't got a war horse by chance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen the general again.
…Woooo…”
At the end of the story, Sun Cang knelt on the ground, hugged his head, and cried bitterly. His pitiful appearance with runny nose and tears would make anyone feel sad to see him.
Shen Ping and three thousand generals were completely wiped out and died in Lunu! Peng Ning stood there, motionless for a long time.
Seeing Sun Cang crying like this, others might think he was pitiful, but in Peng Ning's eyes, they just thought he was hateful, detestable and hateful.
The sneak attack on Lu Nu was his idea. It was also his idea that he and Wei Bao sneaked into the city to respond internally. Now, we have lost three thousand soldiers in vain. Even Shen Ping died in Lu Nu, Sun Cang and others
Crying in front of yourself?
Peng Ning gasped and grabbed the sword under his ribs. Before he could draw the sword out, Sun Cang, who was wailing, suddenly thought of something and raised his head suddenly, as if he hadn't seen it.
Seeing Peng Ning drawing his sword, he said urgently: "General, now is a good opportunity to kill Liu Xiu!"
"What? Kill Liu Xiu?" Peng Ning frowned and looked at Sun Cang in confusion. At the same time, his hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, but did not pull out the sword.
Sun Cang wiped the tears and snot from his face, sniffed hard again, and said seriously: "General, this time it was Deng Yu who led the Zhongshan County Army to secretly return to Lunu. Liu Xiu did not go back at all!"
As he spoke, he nodded heavily to Penning, indicating that what he said was definitely not false.
Peng Ning frowned and murmured: "Only Deng Yu led his army back to Lunu? Liu Xiu did not go back..."
"Exactly!" Sun Cang said loudly: "The military camp on the other side is just an empty camp, and Liu Xiu is in that empty camp. From a villain's perspective, the reason why Liu Xiu stayed in the empty camp and did not return to Lu Nu
, is to deceive our army and prevent our army from crossing the river. In fact, he is just inserting a bid to sell his head. Now as long as the general leads his army to attack, not only can he capture the enemy's camp in one fell swoop, but he will also be able to capture Liu Xiu alive and establish a
An unparalleled achievement!"
After hearing what Sun Cang said, Peng Ning's heartbeat was so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! He bent down, grabbed Sun Cang's collar, lifted him up from the ground, and asked: "Are you sure Liu Xiu is not in Lunu, but in the camp on the other side?
"
"Absolutely!" Sun Cang said seriously: "The villain met Deng Yu and Liu Jun in Lunu City, but he only did not see Liu Xiu. Also, during the battle, General Shen wanted to
He fought to the death with Liu Xiu and almost scolded Liu Xiu's ancestors. If Liu Xiu was really in Lunu, he would definitely show up, but he didn't. Therefore, the villain is sure that Liu Xiu will never be in Lunu and can only be in Anxian.
In the military camp on the other side!"
Peng Ning narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Are you sure the enemy camp opposite is just an empty camp?"
Sun Cang said anxiously: "There is absolutely no mistake! There are more than 2,000 enemies who ambushed our army in Lunu City, but Liu Xiu only has 2,000 in his hands. This means that all Zhongshan County troops are now in Lunu!"
Peng Ning rolled his eyes, shook his head slowly, and said, "Even if all the Zhongshan County troops went to Lunu, now that the battle is over, they should withdraw!"
"Impossible!" Sun Cang said sternly: "The villain is Anxian who has been rushing back all the way. No matter how fast the Zhongshan County Army marches, it is impossible to be faster than the villain. It is impossible for them to retreat to the south bank camp so quickly.
, the current enemy camp must be an empty camp!"
After hearing this, Peng Ning's eyes suddenly shone brightly. Without hesitation, he shouted to the left and right: "Order your troops immediately! All soldiers in the army, follow me to fight!"
Sun Cang is a complete villain. In order to survive, he did not hesitate to kill Wei Bao, who had an irreversible friendship with him.
In front of Deng Yu, he burst into tears of gratitude and swore an oath to heaven, which was so touching. But he turned around and ran back to Anxian, hoping to take advantage of Liu Xiu's empty city plan to capture and kill Liu Xiu.
Peng Ning adopted Sun Cang's advice and led more than 3,000 soldiers out of Anxian City, along the frozen Qishui River, and headed straight for Liu Xiujun's camp on the other side.
Sun Cang was right about one thing. Liu Xiu was indeed not in Lunu, but in the Nan'an camp.
Peng Ning led his troops, without encountering any resistance, directly across the Qishui River and arrived in front of the camp gate on the south bank. The gate was wide open and there were many soldiers standing guard, all with their waists straight and the cold wind blowing.
Not even moving.
Seeing this, Peng Ning sneered and shouted to the left and right: "Fire arrows! Let me kill into the enemy camp!"
Following his order, the archers and crossbowmen of Wang Lang's army fired arrows one after another.
Arrows hit the sentries and guards in front of the camp gate, and a horrifying scene appeared. Even though their bodies were filled with arrows, people still stood there upright, motionless, and did not make a sound.
This situation shocked Peng Ning and his soldiers. Some people couldn't help but exclaimed: "Did Liu Xiu also cast a magic spell?"
Hearing this, Peng Ning sneered, "Where in the world can magic come from?" He waved his hand at the soldiers around him, rode on his horse, and took the lead in charging forward.
The soldiers below followed closely, followed Peng Ning, and rushed towards the camp gate in front.
When people came to the camp gate and took a closer look, their noses were almost twisted with anger. What kind of witchcraft was this? This was just playing tricks on ghosts!
It turned out that the sentries and guards standing in front of the camp gate were all real people, and they were all scarecrows wearing the uniforms of the Zhongshan County Army. The scarecrows were supported by wooden stakes and stood in place. The other end of the wooden stakes was nailed deeply into the ground.
.
Not to mention that if you shoot dozens of arrows at these scarecrows, they will not fall down, even if you shoot hundreds or thousands of arrows, they will not fall down. After Peng Ning looked at it, he drew his sword and knocked a scarecrow to the ground with one strike, sneering.
Said: "Pretend to be a ghost!"
As he spoke, he waved his sword forward and shouted: "Come into the enemy camp, and whoever cuts off Liu Xiu's head first will be rewarded by ten thousand marquises!"
Hula——
Realizing that the enemy did not know magic and was just showing off, Peng Ning's soldiers suddenly became lively and energetic. People roared and shouted and rushed directly into the military camp through the open camp gate.
Empty! Not even a single person could be seen in the huge military camp. As the soldiers rushed forward, they opened up the tents along the road. The rows and rows of tents were all empty.
Although there was no one there, there were a lot of daily necessities and sundries left in the tent.
Sun Cang accompanied Peng Ning and walked to an empty camp tent. He looked inside and said with a smile: "General, there are only things in the tent but no one. It means that the Zhongshan County army went into battle lightly and rushed back."
In Lunu, they plan to finish the battle in Lunu, then go into battle lightly and retreat to the main camp. But our army is now seizing this gap in the middle!"
Even if Liu Xiu was not in the military camp, he could seize so many supplies. He had made up for his mistakes and his head could be saved.
Peng Ning raised his chin and said proudly: "If all the rebels are in the camp, I can wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, yes, yes! With General Peng's force, how can Liu Xiu's bandit army be a match for General Peng?!" Sun Cang flattered with a smile on his face.
Wang Lang's army entered the camp, but did not encounter a single soldier. Running forward, they found the central tent of the military camp.
Seeing the Chinese military tent and the handsome flag erected in front of the Chinese military tent, the officers and soldiers of Wang Lang's army ran forward crazily as if they had been given blood.
When they were still fifty steps away from the central military tent, the soldier running in front suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and then his body plummeted downwards.
In an instant, a long row of Wang Lang's soldiers were all mobilized into a long trench.
This trench was two meters wide, two meters deep, and more than a hundred meters long. It was covered with floating soil, hay and snow. It looked no different from the ground. The soldiers of Wang Lang's army were unprepared and fell into it dozens of times at once.
people.
However, at the bottom of the trench, there were sharpened wooden stakes erected. If a person fell in, he would be pierced by the wooden stakes in an instant. For a moment, the soldiers who fell into the trench and were not killed on the spot were wailing with death.
At this time, the curtain of the central military tent was raised, and a person slowly walked out of it. This person was Liu Xiu. Behind him were Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Bu, Xu Ying, Xu Fei, and Xu Fei.
There are six personal guards in the court.
"Liu Xiu! It's Liu Xiu! He is Liu Xiu!" Someone in Wang Lang's army recognized Liu Xiu, pointed forward, and shouted repeatedly.
