When Zhao Yang heard what Li Ran said, he couldn't help but be startled at first, and then he looked at it carefully.
But seeing the dust flying in the camp behind Zhongxing clan, it was obviously the scene of an attack. However, looking at the front line, the army led by Ji Qin had no intention of retreating.
This scene undoubtedly made Zhao Yang suspicious.
"Thanks to sir for reminding me, there is indeed something strange in Zhongxing's camp!"
Li Ran couldn't help but nodded, and then after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but come up with another plan:
"General, the general will definitely win this battle! The general can order people to find a hundred gongs and shout, 'The Jin army is coming'! In this way, the army of Zhonghang will be suspicious, and then the general can order a strong general to take advantage of the enemy's hesitation. On this occasion, lead the troops out of the city to cover up the killing!"
When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help being surprised again:
"Since you know it's Zhong Xingyin's suspicious plan, why do you throw yourself into a trap?"
Li Ran smiled slightly, and whispered a few words into Zhao Yang's ears.
When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help but turn his worries into joy, and immediately clasped his fists and said:
"promise!"
So, Zhao Yang immediately sent an order to go down, looking for gongs and drums everywhere, and asked the soldiers guarding the city to suddenly shout in unison:
"Master Jin is here! Master Jin is here..."
When the Zhongxing family's siege troops heard someone shouting like this from the top of the city, they couldn't help but look back. However, due to the obstruction of their vision, they could only see dust flying behind them for a while, and could not tell whether it was true or false.
Suddenly, the siege rhythm was in chaos. The morale of the soldiers collapsed instantly, and in the blink of an eye there was a rout.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Yang ordered his chariot general, Wu Wujie, wearing his own armor and hanging a commanding flag, to lead Zhao's elite chariots out of the city to cover up the killing.
The siege troops from Qin did not know the details of the rear at this time, but they saw Zhao's army coming out of the city to cover up the enemy, and people shouting "Jin's army has arrived" everywhere on the city tower.
The Qin Dynasty also thought that Han Buxin was leading his army to attack, so he immediately prepared to pay gold and retreat.
However, You Wujie was so quick that he led Zhao's chariots all the way to attack, ramming into the retreating siege enemies.
Zhonghang's army, who was from Qin, was defeated, and You Wuxie continued to charge forward. In the blink of an eye, they were almost rushing to Zhongxing's camp.
At this time, I saw that the gate of Zhongxing's camp was open, and there were only a few guards. At this time, seeing Zhao's army, they immediately fled.
Without saying a word, You Wuxie directly led Zhao's troops into the camp. When he broke into the camp, he saw that there was no one in the camp!
You Wuxie suddenly felt something bad and immediately ordered all the cars to turn around and prepare to retreat into the city.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a cry of killing outside the camp!
"Hahaha! Zhao Yang! You fell into my trap after all!"
Accompanied by a rapid rumbling sound, I saw a person under the coach's banner holding Che Shi and standing proudly, with a proud look on his face.
It turned out that this was the "tactic to lure the enemy" set by Zhong Xingyin. He knew that he could not conquer Jinyang, so Zhong Xingyin came up with this last resort.
He specially asked Zhao Ji to lead the tribe from Handan, and deliberately pretended to enter his Zhongxing clan's camp from behind. And he himself led the main force to withdraw from the camp early.
Therefore, the billowing dust in Zhongxing's camp was actually deliberately raised by Zhao Ji's troops, and the purpose was to earn Zhao Yang from coming.
Seeing that something was not going well, You Wuxie quickly prepared to lead the crowd to break out.
"Traitor! Return my father's life!"
However, just when he was about to fight his way out, he saw that Zhao Ji also led his troops to kill, and joined forces with Zhongxing Yinshi, directly cutting off his retreat.
As they slowly drove towards "Zhao Yang", what they didn't know was that, as the saying goes, "the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind"!
Just when they were still complacent and thought they could capture Zhao Yang in one battle, they saw another sound of drums and horns coming from the direction of Jinyang City!
Zhong Xingyin and Zhao Ji looked back and looked at "Zhao Yang" suspiciously.
"Haha, my lords, forgive me! You... have recognized the wrong person!"
Only then did You Wujie take off his helmet, revealing his true appearance.
When Zhong Xingyin and Zhao Ji saw this, they couldn't help but be startled, and then they realized that they had fallen into the trap.
Immediately, I saw a hail of arrows coming from behind, and it could be said that it was caught off guard. Zhongxing's formation collapsed without a fight.
"Hmph! I'm a traitor, where are you going to escape?!"
Zhao Yang led the army in front, and immediately launched a charge after a burst of arrows, and went straight to Zhongxing Yin with a cry.
Zhong Xingyin knew that he could no longer resist, so he had to drive away in person.
Zhao Yang, on the other hand, was chasing after him all the way, and Zhao Yang was about to catch up with Zhong Xingyin.
"My lord, don't panic, I am from Qin!"
It turned out that Ji Qin's troops, which had been disbanded, were reorganized by Ji Qin. At this time, the savior happened to be rushing towards them.
Zhao Yang's men and the remnants of Qin's army were fighting for a while, and this also gave Zhongxing Yinshi a little breathing space.
When Zhong Xingyin saw this, he immediately ran away without saying a word.
But before they could escape far, another Zhao army came.
"Zhong Xingyin, where did you escape?!"
Zhong Xingyin took another closer look and saw that it was Kuai Kuai, the former crown prince of Wei State, leading his troops to block his way!
It turned out that Li Ran had already predicted that if Zhong Xingyin wanted to escape, he would definitely escape on the path leading to Luyi.
Therefore, he specifically asked Zhao Yang to instruct Kuai Chi to ambush another army on his only way, specifically waiting for Zhong Xing Yin to be captured when he was alone.
Zhong Xingyin was about to be captured when he heard another army rushing behind him.
"Lord, leave quickly! I'll hold them back!"
Zhong Xingyin looked around and saw that it was Gao Qiang and others who fought hard to get out. Since Zhong Xingyin had asked Gao Qiang to arrange the retreat before, it happened to be useful at this time.
Gao Qiang led a thousand soldiers to fight with Kuai Chi. Zhong Xingyin took this opportunity and finally escaped another disaster...
After a fierce battle, the armies of the Zhonghang clan, Fan clan, and Handan were finally defeated by Zhao Yang, and Jinyang's crisis was finally relieved.
As for Fan Jishe, after learning that Zhongxing's army was defeated, he did not dare to stay, so he quickly led his troops to retreat to Chaoge...
The news that Zhao Yang relied on Jinyang to defeat the Zhongxing clan, Fan clan and Handan coalition forces in one fell swoop spread quickly.
Among them, Xun Shu, who was far away in Jiangcheng, was the most uneasy.
In Jiangcheng, the Xun family's mansion
After learning about the Zhao family's defeat of the Zhongxing family, Xun Shuo immediately summoned his staff to discuss it.
"My lord, the Zhao family can withstand the Zhongxing family's army as a family. The strength of the Zhao family... is really unfathomable! The villain thought that the lord should take this opportunity to weaken them!"
Liang Yingfu, Xun Shu's favorite minister, gave this advice to his lord Xun Shu.
Hearing this, Xun Shu couldn't help but nodded slightly.
