The envoy said: "I came under the order of Master Lu Xun. I came back from the detective horse to report that Yuyi's army is about to go down the mountain. We can prepare fire starters in advance." The ambushing generals were impatient for a long time. Hearing that the other party was about to go down the mountain, he was very happy and immediately ordered to take out the weeds and scrap cloth used to make the fire. After the messenger conveyed the order, he turned his horse and left without waiting.
Returning to Army Lieutenant General Huang Shumin and explaining the situation, Huang Shumin nodded and said, "You did a good job!" After saying that, she waved her right hand and dragged the prisoner down to kill him. In her own words, he could be betrayed today. Xiangyang, you can sell yourself tomorrow.
Huang Shumin sent people to roughly determine the location of the enemy's ambush, ordered the entire army to retreat twenty miles back, and found several places where they could ambush. Each of them assigned two thousand soldiers to wait, while she herself advanced slowly with two thousand soldiers. Wait until the second watch when the sky becomes darker, then speed up and get closer to the enemy.
Or they had been lying in wait for a while. Wu Jun was slack and exhausted, and the entire camp was in poor guard condition. Huang Shumin took the opportunity to investigate the location of the fire starter, and gave an order to the soldiers around him: "Wait a minute, look at my gesture, we only have one target." , ignite the opponent's fire starter, and then escape. But the direction of escape is not Xiangyang City, but the direction of Jingshan Mountain!"
Everyone nodded and began to recharge their batteries. At the third watch, Huang Shumin shouted: "Kill!"
When Wu Jun heard the shouts, he quickly put on his clothes, took out weapons and went out to meet the enemy. However, the enemy seemed not interested in killing people and ran towards the fire starters. Soon the fire starters in the surrounding ambush areas were all on fire. The fire was soaring into the sky, and the Wu army formed a team and fought bravely. Seeing that the matter was accomplished, Huang Shumin led his soldiers to escape towards Jingshan Mountain.
Due to the strong wind, the fire spread quickly. Countless Wu troops were set on fire and trampled on each other. Wu Jun didn't even know whether the enemy came from the mountain or walked down the mountain.
Xiaoli and Huang Mochou each led their troops down the mountain, followed closely by Yu Yi and Yu Daye. When the mountain was ignited and the flames shot into the sky, everyone took a look and knew that something big had happened, so they quickly speeded down the mountain.
In this way, most of the soldiers Xiangyang sent out to ambush were burned to death by their own ignition objects. The remaining troops fled towards Xiangyang City. Halfway through, four groups of people suddenly rushed out and killed them from four directions. After killing all Wu's troops, the ambushing generals finally escaped from the encirclement and headed towards Xiangyang City. The total number of people at this time was less than a few hundred.
After Huang Shumin completed the ignition task, she led two thousand soldiers to escape towards Jingshan Mountain. Soon she met Xiaoli and Huang Mochou. She told them about the situation at the bottom of the mountain. Huang Mochou pouted and said, "Sister Huang. , this is your fault, you take all the credit, what will we do?"
Huang Shumin smiled and said: "The battle of Xiangyang City was purely a fluke. If it hadn't been for the kite invented by the king, I would never have made such a contribution. So it's not me who takes the credit, it's the king's deployment!"
So the three of them discussed setting up camp where they were, waiting for the follow-up troops, and then entered Xiangyang City together.
At noon the next day, the follow-up troops finally caught up. Seeing Huang Shumin, Xiaoli, Huang Mochou and others, Yu Yi asked: "Why are they stationed here?"
Huang Mochou pointed to the foot of the mountain not far away and said with a smile: "Wu Jun used his own fire starter to make a tomb for himself. Coupled with the strange wind, the fire has not been extinguished yet. He can only wait here for the king." superior."
Yu Yi looked along Huang Mochou's hand and saw a black charcoal under the mountain and thick black smoke in the distance. He smiled and said: "It seems that we won a beautiful victory this time!"
Yu Daye was a little confused and asked: "What happened?"
So Huang Shumin will use the kite to enter the sky above Xiangyang, how to shoot the guards of Xiangyang City with a condescending strategic advantage, how to land in Xiangyang City to force the Wu army to surrender, and how to learn the opponent's plan through prisoners, and then do the opposite.
Yu Daye was very surprised after hearing this. Only then did he understand his father's entire plan. He knelt on the ground and said, "This kid doesn't know Mount Tai. Please ask your father to punish me!" When the others saw this, they all knelt on the ground and bowed. , said: "The king is wise, but the ministers are ignorant!"
Yu Yi smiled and said: "You all get up, everyone deserves credit for this victory!"
After this battle, everyone became more confident in Yu Yi's strategic deployment. Yu Yi's reputation in the Jingzhou area also reached its peak. Yu Daye even admired his father.
When the flames dissipated, Yu Yi led an army of 180,000 to Xiangyang City. What awaited him was the open gate of Xiangyang City and the Wu army generals who had been captured alive.
Yu Yi entered the residence of the governor of Xiangyang City, ordered the prisoners to be taken out, and asked, "Are you Lu Xun?"
The prisoner shook his head and said, "Lord Lu Xun was summoned back by King Wu on the eve of the battle."
Yu Yi nodded, waved his hands to the left and right, and said: "Untie his rope and let him go back!"
The prisoner stood aside, seemingly unaware of what was happening. Yu Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Why, is it because he wants to die and refuses to leave? Then I will help you!" After saying this, he was ready to let his left and right men drag him out and kill him.
The prisoner was very frightened after hearing this. He crawled out of the hall and walked towards Soochow.
This news was soon learned by Wei Jun's scouts, who reported to Sima Yi: "The King of Jingzhou led his soldiers to descend from the sky, bypassing the ambush and heading straight to Xiangyang. At the same time, he sent prisoners to falsely convey orders and prepare all things to ignite the fire. Then at the third watch, A sneak attack and the Wu army was completely defeated."
After hearing this, Sima Yi stood up suddenly and said: "Impossible, can he still use magic? Even if it is magic, it is impossible to transport so many people to Xiangyang at one time."
Sima Yi didn't believe this information at all and asked Tan Ma to quickly find out the real situation.
After Yu Yi entered Xiangyang City, he continued to appease the local people and drafted some bills, which greatly improved the security level of Xiangyang City. After a little replenishment of food and grass, Yu Yi convened everyone again for discussion and said: "This time Lu Xun has been recalled , I think King Wu must be in high demand, my eldest brother has arrived at Yiling, and we will join him in the next step to attack from two directions."
Yu Daye came out, bowed and said, "Father, please let me be the vanguard and I will definitely offer Lu Xun's head!"
Yu Yi did not immediately reply to Yu Daye, but took everyone to the map, pointed at Maicheng, and said: "From here to Jingzhou Nanjun, there are mostly mountain roads. Behind us, Sima Yi is watching with eagerness, and in front are the soldiers and horses of Soochow. , is in a situation of being flanked, so Xiangyang must be defended with heavy troops, who can take on this important task!"
No one answered at the bottom of the steps. Yu Yi walked gently to Huang Shumin and said, "You and I have been together for a long time. Now you are the oldest and have the most merit. I think the heavy responsibility of guarding Xiangyang City will be entrusted to you!"
Huang Shumin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. As long as I, Huang Shumin, am still alive, I will definitely complete my mission!"
