When the generals saw that General Mengshan had lost the lychee, they hurried forward and managed to hold down General Mengshan with all their hands.
Tian Yao frowned tightly, with an ominous premonition in his heart. He looked at the defeated soldier who was holding his neck and gasping: "How many people are there in the Chu army?"
The defeated soldier said in horror: "Report... this general -"
"The Chu army's offensive was sudden, and we were defeated in an instant. We couldn't see it clearly."
"But at a rough glance, there are probably thousands of people..."
"There are only a hundred or so soldiers left in Mengshan City, and they are already resisting desperately... They really can't stop us! It's up to us to fight to the death! I beg General to spare my life..."
Tian Yao took a breath of air!
Thousands of people?
Isn't that the main force of the Chu army?
Could it be that after the Chu army retreated, they didn't set up an ambush along the way? But...
Boom!
Another person rushed in from outside the house. This guy was wearing Qi army armor and looked like a grassroots man. He was covered in blood. He fell to the ground as soon as he entered the house and started crying.
Qicheng Guardsman's face suddenly turned pale!
Hold the grass!
Home was stolen!
The generals were in an uproar - they all came out with their whole families just to gain military exploits... Now the cities they were guarding were all empty of troops, and they couldn't stop Xiong Wuliang's three thousand elite soldiers at all!
General Liang's father couldn't sit still - according to the marching route shown by Xiong Wuliang, [Liang's father] would be beaten next!
He remembered clearly that there were only a few dozen garrison soldiers in the city... They couldn't stop Xiong Wuliang at all!
General Liang's father suddenly stood up and hurriedly raised his hands to his colleagues: "Everyone, I will lead the troops back to defense..."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the house was opened again. [Liang's father] The defeated soldiers who had escaped fell to their knees on the ground. Without saying a word, they kowtowed to Liang's father and the guard...
General Liang's father's face turned pale, and he fell to the ground with a plop, apparently fainting...
All the generals could not sit still and glared at Tian Yao!
Blanch! Du Kumba blames you!
You boy asked for help everywhere and dragged us all here, leaving the cities we were guarding empty of troops... Then Xiong Wuliang suddenly withdrew his troops from the city, obviously to plot against our city, what kind of 'lure the enemy' plan are you talking about? We are not allowed to return to defense...
Ahhhh completely crazy!
Now it seems that there is no 'tactic to lure the enemy'? It's clearly the plan of Xiong Wuliang's insidious and cunning man to "lead the tiger away from the mountain" and "make noises in the east and attack in the west"!
The Chu army surrounded Wuyang City without attacking. The purpose was to attract all the surrounding defenders, and then suddenly retreat to seize the empty city!
Xiong Wuliang, you are so sinister!
The generals glared at Tian Yao——
It is said that when people are in crisis, they rarely look for reasons from themselves - these Qi generals did not think about it. It was obvious that they led their troops out of greed for power... At this time, these Qi generals subconsciously hated Tian Yao, believes that the current predicament is the fault of the latter.
All the generals stood up one after another: "Without any further delay, we should immediately return our reinforcements!"
Guardsmen Mengshan, Qicheng, and Liangfu also cheered up, and their faces turned red: "I want to go back and regain the lost ground! If I really can't fight back, I would rather die under the city! Confirm to the king that we have no intention of escaping for a living!" "
Tian Yao panicked.
Although there is still no problem in Wuyang City, several cities have been lost in the southern border of Qi State.
After careful investigation, I do have a certain amount of responsibility!
And looking at the appearance of the generals present - Tian Yao has no doubt that these people will desperately throw dirty water on themselves in order to save their lives!
At that time, more than a dozen generals knelt down in front of the king and denounced themselves in unison... Then someone in my field can't explain clearly even though his body is covered with hair.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes, suppose I, Tian Yao, were replaced by the king (I'm sorry for the disrespect)... Do I trust more than a dozen of them, or do I trust myself?
Blanch!
Tian Yao forced himself to calm down, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone! Everyone!"
"I know you are dissatisfied with me!"
"But at this moment, it is not the time for internal strife!"
"Marquis Quyang of Chu has three thousand soldiers, and they are all armored soldiers... Who can guarantee that you can defeat him?"
"Everyone returns to defense, which just gives the Chu people a chance to defeat each other!"
The generals glared at Tian Yao!
If you are defeated, defeat it.
However, we must go back as soon as possible. Even if we die under the sword of the Chu people, it is still better than dying under the sword of a military judge and causing harm to our wife and children!
The one who stepped on the horse - two days ago, I mocked Xiong Wuliang for his lack of acting skills and that he was a scoundrel... Now it seems that the scoundrel is actually me!
Too.
As the saying goes, there is no empty person under a great reputation——
Xiong Wuliang once had a record of defeating the Qi army by more than ten times. Why should young generals like him underestimate the former? Arrogant! Still arrogant!
Tian Yao raised his voice: "If everyone is willing to believe in me again, we will attack together!"
"Right now, there are 60,000 soldiers gathered in Wuyang City! Looking at the world, it is also a large military force! Why not go out together and regain the lost territory one by one!"
"If Xiong Wuliang obediently gives up the city, we will naturally take back the city and everyone will be happy."
"And if Xiong Wuliang holds the city and defends it... that's even better! Let's surround the city! Starve that damn Xiong Wuliang to death! Use his head in exchange for the title of king!"
All the generals looked at each other.
This statement seems reasonable.
As for the guardsmen Mengshan, Qicheng, and Liangfu, they saw a glimmer of hope for survival. The hatred for Tian Yao was wiped out in their eyes, and they shouted loudly from the bottom of their hearts: "General Tian is right!"
"If we go back alone, we will only be defeated one by one, and everyone will die by then - we are willing to follow the lead of General Tian Yao! Join forces and march westward! Recover the lost territory!"
"Recover the lost ground first, then kill Mi Liang!"
"That's a reward of a thousand gold coins! A title of a thousand households! Everyone, aren't you excited?"
…
On April 27, Tian Yao led 60,000 Qi troops out of Wuyang City and pursued westward the "main force of the Chu army" disguised as Shao Hu's 3,000 sergeants!
At this moment, the main force of the 7,000 New Army under the genuine Xiong Wuliang had already prepared an ambush in the mountains and forests, just waiting for the Qi army to take the bait.
Seeing the smoke and dust rising in the distance, Zhao Hua couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling.
Xiong Wuliang's brows were filled with joy and he couldn't help but praise softly: "Mr. Zhao is indeed very cunning... This Qi army has already been fooled!"
Zhao Hua's smile froze.
If you don't know how to talk, you don't have to say anything.
You are so cunning.
Labor and management are called resourceful!
Xiong Wuliang was in a good mood, and he laughed at Zhao Hua: "After today, my reputation for not practicing martial ethics will spread to all countries."
Zhao Hua waved his hand nonchalantly: "As long as we win on the battlefield, what's the use of that reputation?"
"All abuse is praise from incompetent losers!"
"As long as you keep winning, you are 'resourceful'! Only losers will be called 'scheming'!"
Xiong Wuliang glanced at Zhao Hua and smiled without saying a word.
Our company likes good employees like this who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable!
Seeing that the Qi army had entered the ambush circle, Xiong Wuliang waved his hand!
"The three armies obey orders——"
"Start the fight! Annihilate the Qi army!"
