The most powerful fool system

Page 272

　The leader of the army is Tai Shici, the number one general of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms.

　When Xu Feng left Dongdu, he specially summoned him from the system to assist Zhou Yu in the battle.

　According to Zhou Yu's instructions to him in advance, Tai Shici led his troops to hide in Hongnong City, and only let the eight thousand old, weak, sick and disabled show up to confuse the Tang army.

　When the Tang army attacked the city, Tai Shici repeatedly led his troops to the top of the city along the horse road, killing the Tang army by surprise, and retreating the Tang soldiers who had climbed the top of the city.

　Tai Shici used this method of attack to defend Hongnong City for three days, killing and injuring nearly [-] Tang troops, but only [-] of his own casualties.

　More importantly, Tai Shici delayed the Tang army for three days here, buying enough time for Zhou Yu to deploy defenses in the east of Xiaoshan and Mangshan.

　Zhou Yu's order to Tai Shici at the beginning was to let him stick to Hongnong's side for two to three days, and then retreat to Shengchi City, lest the Tang army find out the real situation and surround them in Hongnong City.

　After three days of siege, the Tang army really found out the truth, but it was a pity that Tai Shici also led the Sui army out of Hongnong City on the night of the third day, and withdrew eastward.

　It's just a city, and it's not very important to the Sui army.

　Zhou Yu's goal of asking Tai Shici to delay time and consume the strength of the Tang army has all been achieved.

　"Send out scouts to find out the withdrawing Sui army and see where they retreated to?"

　After Li Er entered the city, he also knew that he had been tricked, his face was ugly, and he gave an order.

　Half a day later, the scouts reported back: "His Royal Highness, we found a trace of a Sui army in the east.

　They retreated all the way east along the official road, and retreated to Mang Mountain in the east.

　They entered the mountains, and we didn't dare to chase after them."

　"That is to say, at this time, there is probably an elite Sui army hidden in the area around Mount Mang in the east."

　Li Er said.

　"Your Highness, this Sui army should be left by Yang Guang. It seems that Yang Guang has been guarding against us taking the opportunity to attack Dongdu."

　Changsun Wuji said.

　"Hmph, even if Yang Guang is prepared, so what.

　The king didn't believe it, he took away the main force of the Sui army and went north to attack Dou Jiande, how many troops can be left here.

　We have brought 20 troops this time, and they want to block us, which is tantamount to mantising a car. "

　Li Er really didn't believe it.

　"Your Highness, don't be careless, you have to be careful."

　Changsun Wuji reminded.

　"Well, this king knows, let the soldiers rest here for a day, and set off tomorrow.

　Ask Duan Zhixuan and Cheng Yaojin to command the former army, and tell him to be extremely careful not to be ambushed by the Sui army.

　His Highness is in charge of the central army, and Qin Qiong is in charge of the rear army.

　After entering the mountainous area, scouts were sent out in advance to check everything on the way ahead and report in time. "

　Li Er didn't dare to be careless this time, and told Changsun Wuji.

　At the end of March, Li Er led the army eastward, preparing to pass through the vast Mang Mountain. In Mang Mountain, Zhou Yu had already arranged for the Sui army and was waiting for the Tang army to come.

　Qingping Gorge, an eastward mountain road in Mang Mountain, is also the eastward road chosen by Li Er.

　Duan Zhixuan led the vanguard of the [-] Tang Army and was the first to enter Qingping Gorge.

　The terrain of Qingping Gorge becomes steeper as you go east. There are precipitous peaks on both sides. As you go east, the peaks become steeper and eventually become cliffs.

　"Stop going."

　Duan Zhixuan looked up at the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, always feeling uneasy in his heart, and finally couldn't help shouting.

　"General Duan, what's going on? Why did you stop advancing?"

　After a while, Cheng Yaojin rode over and asked Duan Zhixuan.

　"General Cheng, the terrain of this canyon is too dangerous, the army cannot enter rashly, let's send scouts to investigate."

　Duan Zhixuan said to Cheng Yaojin.

　"General Duan, you have sent out three waves of scouts this early in the morning, haven't they all returned?

　I didn't find anything wrong, you can't always be suspicious! "

　Cheng Yaojin thinks that Duan Zhixuan is too careful, it is totally unnecessary.

　"It's always right to be cautious, we are His Highness's vanguard army, and we are responsible for opening the way for His Highness's army, we must not make any mistakes.

　I wronged General Cheng to lead the soldiers to rest here for a while, and I will send another scout to investigate. "

　Duan Zhixuan still insisted on his point of view, and did not want to march forward easily.

　In fact, the terrain in the front canyon is too steep. Once they lead an army into it, if they are ambushed by the Sui army, the front and back canyon entrances will be blocked, and they will not be able to withdraw even if they want to.

　"Well, anyway, you are the chief general, you have the final say.

　However, I want to remind you that if you want to send scouts to investigate, you have to hurry up.

　We must get out of this canyon before dark. "

　Cheng Yaojin shrugged, seeing that Duan Zhixuan was so persistent, he couldn't object, he was Duan Zhixuan's lieutenant anyway, just remind him.

　"Well, thank you, General Cheng, for reminding me. This general knows."

　Immediately afterwards, Duan Zhixuan sent another elite scout into the canyon to carefully investigate the situation inside.

　And at this time, in Qingping Gorge, Zhou Yu led Tai Shici and more than 3 Sui soldiers, lying in ambush on both sides of the cliffs of the canyon, waiting for the Tang army to enter the valley.

　"Report, report to the governor, the Tang army stopped marching in front of the canyon, and is sending more scouts into the canyon to explore the way forward."

　A Sui soldier rushed to Zhou Yu, knelt down on one knee, and reported.

　"There are quite a few capable generals in the Tang army, so cautious, it seems that the plan to ambush the Tang army in the canyon is not easy to implement."

　After receiving the report from Sui Bing, Zhou Yu frowned slightly and said.

　"Tai Shici, let the soldiers hide, it is best for the Tang army scouts who let us into the valley to find our ambush soldiers.

　If they are discovered in the end, then leave all the scouts of the Tang army who entered the valley, and don't let any one escape from the canyon to report to the Tang army. "

　Zhou Yu then gave orders to Tai Shici behind him.

　"Yes, Governor, I understand."

　Tai Shici immediately went down to make arrangements.

　"There is an ambush!"

　However, it is a pity that the scouts of the Tang army who entered the valley this time were all experienced veterans, and someone really discovered the soldiers of the Tang army ambushing on both sides of the canyon.

　"Whizzing!"

　Following the shout of the Tang army scout, two arrowheads shot over immediately, accurately hitting the faces of the two Tang army scouts, and they fell on their backs.

　Tai Shici was originally a master of archery, and it was Tai Shici who shot these two continuous arrows, killing the two scouts of the Tang army who found them.

　"put!"

　After Taishi Ci shot the two arrows, he shouted loudly.

　Around, many Sui army archers who had been prepared for a long time also immediately shot a dense rain of arrows at the dozen or so Tang army scouts in the valley.

　Whoosh whoosh!

　"withdraw!"

　In the canyon, the complexions of the dozen or so Tang army scouts changed drastically, and the leader shouted, pulling their horses and fleeing.

　At this time, they no longer needed to go further in. What they saw was enough to prove that there was an ambush by the Sui army in the canyon ahead.

　"Ah!"

　Under the heavy rain of arrows from the Sui army, scouts from the Tang army were constantly shot down by arrows.

　Rumble!

　On the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, soldiers of the Sui army threw stones to prevent the Tang army scouts from escaping.

　Peng!

　A stone the size of a football rolled down the cliff, directly knocking a fleeing scout of the Tang army off his horse.

　In the end, the fifteen Sui army scouts who entered the canyon were all left in the canyon, and none of them escaped.

　However, although these Tang army scouts did not escape out of the canyon, the movement in the canyon had already alarmed Duan Zhixuan outside the canyon.

　In addition, Duan Zhixuan couldn't wait for the scouts who entered the valley to come back, guessing that something unexpected happened to them.

　"Sure enough, there are Sui soldiers in the canyon. Fortunately, we didn't rush into the canyon before."

　At this time, Duan Zhixuan said with great joy.

　"General, what shall we do now?"

　General Tang asked.

　"Xianping sent someone to go back and report the situation on our side to His Highness, and see what instructions His Highness has."

　Duan Zhixuan gave the order.

　"Tai Shici, you will lead the army to guard here, and if the Tang army dares to go to Qingping Gorge, you will fight hard.

　After two days, evacuate here again. "

　At this time, Zhou Yu in the canyon, seeing that Tang Jun had discovered their ambush, knew that the ambush was impossible to succeed.

　Therefore, Zhou Yu left Tai Shici and asked him to block the Tang army here for two days, and then withdraw after two days.

　But Zhou Yu himself withdrew first, and prepared for the next ambush site to the east, waiting for the Tang army to come.

　From Xiaoshan in the west to Mangshan in the east, and then to Shengchi City and Jianshui Valley in the east, Zhou Yu set up defense lines one after another, slowly waiting for the Tang army to come over.

　"What? Are there Sui army ambushes in the canyon?"

　When Li Er received the news from Duan Zhixuan from Qingping Valley in the east when he was on the side of Li Tangjun's middle army, he also looked confused.

　Immediately, Li Er's face became ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Tang Jun dared to take the initiative to attack us and wanted to ambush us.

　Xu Maogong was right, there was a powerful commanding general in the Sui army. "

　"Your Majesty, do we still have to go from here?

　The terrain on the Qingping Gorge is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, should we use another road to get there. "

　At this time, someone from Tang Jiang's side suggested to Li Er.

　"This is the fastest way out of the mountain. If we take a detour now, it will take us at least three or four more days to get out of Mang Mountain."

　Li Er shook his head, unwilling to retreat easily and change to other routes out of the mountain.

　"Your Highness, since we now know that there is an ambush by the Sui army in the canyon in front of us, and there is no ambush, it is luck.

　The rest, in fact, is not difficult to deal with.

　We just need to send troops, find the way up the mountain, and defeat the ambushing Sui army. "

　At this time, Xu Maogong also stood up and said to Li Er that he agreed with Li Er's decision not to change lanes.

　"Well, what the military adviser said is correct, it's exactly what this king thinks.

　For those who come, do as the military adviser said, and send an order to Duan Zhixuan and Cheng Yaojin, asking them to send someone to find the way up the mountain.

　Then they led the army up the mountain and defeated the Sui army lying in ambush on the mountain to ensure the safety of our army's eastward march. "

　Li Er gave the order.

　"Kill!"

　Soon, Duan Zhixuan and Cheng Yaojin received Li Er's military order, and then led troops to kill on the mountains on both sides.

　Tai Shici led the Sui army ambushing on the mountain, and immediately fought with the Tang army.

　Because the Sui army led by Tai Shici did not succeed in ambush, but the ambush position they occupied in advance still gave them a considerable advantage.

　Therefore, when Duan Zhixuan and Cheng Yaojin led the [-] Tang troops to attack up the mountain, they met Tai Shici's tenacious resistance.

　Less than two hours after the two armies fought, the sky darkened.

　Tai Shici was worried that Li Erhui would lead the main force of the Tang army behind them to surround the mountain where they were located overnight, so he had to take advantage of the darkness to quietly withdraw with the Sui army.
