In ancient times, there was a wind coming from eight directions. If you count up and down, it would be ten directions.
Since Mengchang surrounded the camp, Li Wu has been restless and has a bad premonition in his heart. He always feels that he has been following the rhythm of others.
Sometimes when he was in the middle of a situation, he just instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only worry about it and ordered the camp to be closed tightly. All the soldiers in armor should not leave their hands or their bodies, and they should take extra precautions.
Until the war broke out between the north and the south, Li Wu's heart completely sank to the bottom.
The imaginary is real, the real is imaginary. He thought that Meng Chang was on the third floor. Just like the Battle of Honghe, he feigned a frontal attack, and then circled behind and attacked in a sneak attack. In the past, this shameful man in war loved to do this, so when the smoke bomb was released , everyone felt that the merchant army would inevitably retreat.
Because going around is really useful and can block all his escape routes.
Therefore, he chose two routes around the back, both of which were heavily guarded.
The fact is that Dongyi lost the bet, Li Wu was on the third floor, Meng Chang was on the fifth floor, and the Shang army did not move around at all. He used a misplaced tactic from the beginning, allowing the absolute elite to eat him. The elite allies were then sent to attack the inferior Baiyi. Finally, the three armies gathered together to launch a general attack.
If Li Wu was born a few hundred years later, he would definitely know an interesting idiom, Tian Ji horse racing.
Winning by misalignment is similar to a math problem. Three hundred thousand versus three hundred thousand is difficult to attack. Even if battle losses are included, two hundred and fifty thousand versus less than two hundred thousand, the advantage comes out.
What's more, Dongyi's army was not as elite as this king's division, and it no longer had an advantage.
"kill!!"
A cry of killing interrupted Li Wu's contemplation, and the sounds continued from all directions, making the entire Dongyi army panic.
They don't understand that when attacking a large camp with a large number of people, shouldn't they enter through the eight gates? Why does it feel like there are people rushing to kill from all directions and locations? Although there are hundreds of thousands of them, they are like an isolated island in the vast ocean and can only be ravaged by others.
Mengchang's army shouted loudly to kill, but in fact they did not attack the camp. They politely fired waves of arrows and then stopped, shouting not to charge, and then continued to lay traps and traps to defend all sides.
Without the need for others to pass the news, we can see that when the beacon fires were ignited in the north and south, and the merchant army spread out their formations to besiege without any concern, the clans of the Dongyi army also became pessimistic.
"Yes, this must be Meng Chang'er's trick. He is the best at deceiving people. He is a liar. We can't trust him. Yes, we can't trust him. Guard the camp. General Fang and Bai Yibo will find out what's going on here. .”
Laihu's eyes widened, and he kept comforting himself as if he was crazy. Xu Mu, who had already taken it off the shaft door and was still soaked with blood, looked at Laihu with disdain, and then fixed his eyes on the big leader Li Wu.
"Big leader, there are merchant armies on all sides. How about we break out of the encirclement? We can rush out before the encirclement army is formed. At least there is still a way to survive."
The sober clan leaders suppressed the anxiety in their hearts, ignored the insane Lai Hu, and continued to put their hope in Li Wu.
"Don't panic, everyone. There are not many people on Baiyi's side, and there may be dangers everywhere. But General Fang of Longyi, everyone knows that he is loyal and brave. He has led troops to fight for forty years. What kind of storms and waves have he not seen? Believe him, he will Coming back."
"As for the breakout, there is no rush for now and we will observe the situation. I will give you a reply after careful consideration."
After listening to Li Wu's words, everyone felt a little relieved. Laihu kept touching his chest, looking shocked.
Countless people are looking forward to the Eight God Lords in their hearts, trying to inform the God Lords of their faith about the dangers here.
After everyone dispersed, Laihu was walking on the way back to the camp when he caught sight of Xu Mu who was standing aside and bowing to him.
"General Xu, are you waiting for me? Go back quickly. Your injuries are not fully healed yet. It's best not to stand in the wind for a long time."
Xu Mu sighed and shook his head with a wry smile: "Young Master, you are about to be in disaster. Usually the Young Master treats me well, and Mu has no resentment in his heart, so he waited here specially to show the Young Master a way out. .”
"Hey, what do I think this is? Didn't the leader just say that General Fang of Longyi has a brave strategy? When General Fang returns to the camp, the danger will be solved."
"Hahaha, the young master is still as naive as ever. If the big leader really has a way, how can he say the words of deliberation? Uncle Meng Ji is still laying down the defense line. It is the perfect time to break out. When he finishes deliberation, Uncle Meng Ji's sword has been sharpened long ago, just waiting for everyone to crash into it and die."
Laihu couldn't believe what kind of person the big leader was. The Xu Mu in front of him actually dared to tell the story of the general. Maybe he was driven crazy when he was tortured.
Xu Mu sighed, and somewhat understood Laihu's thoughts, so he looked at the benefactor in front of him sincerely and continued to persuade.
"I want to thank the big leader for this severe beating. If Xu Mu was still the Xu Mu who only knew how to stick to the old rules, he would be like the big leader today. He couldn't see through Meng Jibo's true thoughts. Mu hung up on the camp gate. Three days later, Xu Mu from Dongyi was already dead, so after jumping out of the chessboard, I had a glimpse of Uncle Meng Ji’s fantastic ideas that day."
"Young Master, haven't you discovered it yet? Uncle Meng Ji seems to be unwise. He dispersed his army to various defense lines. One is to lure us out of the camp, give up the advantage of holding on to the stronghold, and fight him decisively. The other is , which is also the scariest part about him.”
"He didn't come to defeat or kill him. His real intention of spreading out the guards was to finish off the battle in one battle and directly break the backbone of Dongyi's main army so that Dongyi would no longer be a threat. He came to annihilate And go."
Listening to Xu Mu's words, Laihu was a little worried about gain and loss, and asked in a panic: "General, what can you teach me?"
"Young Master, you must escape by tomorrow at the latest. Even if you have to bear infamy and be blamed by the big leader, you must escape with the remaining 20,000 people."
Laihu gritted his teeth and struggled, not knowing whether to believe the information Xu Mu said, but suddenly changed his mind and Laihu asked in disbelief: "I will take them to escape back? But where are you, General Xu?"
"Me? I plan to go to the King's Camp tonight to ask Uncle Meng Ji to recommend myself to atone for my sins. I'm sorry, young master. I'm afraid Xu Mu will no longer be able to accompany you in the future."
When Laihu heard this, his tears fell instantly, and he asked emotionally: "General, Laihu is usually timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and he is a cowardly and incompetent person. But Laihu is the most obedient. If you have done anything wrong, please feel free to do so." Tell me, isn't it enough for Laihu to change? Why did you abandon me?"
"Alas!" Xu Mu smiled bitterly. How unfortunate it is to have a figure like Meng Jibo in this era. While he was watching, he also made calculations in his mind. With this one-hand conversion of fiction and reality, it is as many times as ordinary people have read "The New Book of Meng Yu: The Art of War" A skill that no one can learn.
"Before meeting Uncle Ji, Mu thought that Uncle Ji was nothing more than this. But the more he learned about it, he found out that every move he made was an outright conspiracy. You had to disrupt your own rhythm, and then you were trapped in his rhythm. Ji Bo is not good at tricks, but he understands people's hearts better than the big leader. This is a common problem for defenders, and defense means that they will definitely have less opportunities than the attacker."
"If the young master believes in me, then leave quickly. If you can escape, don't get involved with Huaiyi in the future. Take the tribe to join Jibo in advance and become the first batch of Jingye servants, and you can still enjoy the benefits. Three points of grace.”
After saying that, Laihu watched sadly as Xu Mu returned to the shadows and disappeared. He felt very regretful in his heart as to why he had not rescued him from the big leader at that time. Without Xu Mu, he would have returned to Birdyi. , will General Xu keep his position?
People on Laihu's side were confused, and Li Wu also locked himself in the tent, covering his head and scolding himself for losing his position and making a big mistake.
But I still hold on to hope in my heart, hoping that Long Yi, who is closest to Huai Yi, can bring back those 'own people'.
Time gradually passed, and for a whole day, the soldiers of Dongyi Camp spent a noisy day amidst the continuous shouts of killing. Everyone was very tired. They were worried about their unknown future and were also shocked by this shameless attack. caused by the shouting.
After all, a passive person never knows when the enemy will attack or when it will just be a feint.
But just when the Dongyi soldiers were about to fall asleep, fires broke out outside the camp gate. Yu Guang, the former vanguard and former military general, led a group of armored cavalry to try to seize the gate. The army was frightened and immediately prepared for battle. Li Wu even personally When he got up at night, he rushed out with the weapon in his hand.
Unexpectedly, he saw a large number of enemy troops from the corner of his eye. Shi Shiran led the cavalry and retreated back like the wind.
In the first half of the night, Yu Guang and Yu De took turns checking in, and in the second half of the night, Yu Zhao and Yu Da came to bother them. This made Li Wu stay up all night and the soldiers were also mentally exhausted.
Li Wu was so angry that he sent envoys to reprimand Meng Chang for his despicable behavior that was against the will of heaven and earth.
Three days later, Emperor Xin finally returned to his base camp after wiping out the Dongyi army. Seeing the king's glowing face, everyone was already complimenting the king.
Except for Xu Yibo's missing, three good heads that were somewhat fragmented were begged back by Meng Chang. After a little makeup and repair, they were thrown into the Dongyi camp by Meng Chang.
This time, the entire morale was directly hit to the lowest level. Countless clans and nobles, and the last thoughts in the center were ruthlessly torn apart by reality.
Li Wu's last rationality was completely awakened along with half of Fang Xiang's head.
"I was wrong. I was wrong from the beginning. I knew clearly that this was a little bastard who liked to play tricks, but I still acted according to the old rules. This loss was not unfair, not unfair. "
That night, this bleak and solemn sadness reached the threshold.
Following Meng Jibo's order, instead of 'raiding the camp' tonight, he sang songs instead. The troops of Donglu and Xu State organized groups of soldiers to guard the entrance and surroundings of Dongyi's camp, using In a dialect that is almost the same as that of the Yi people, they sang congratulations loudly.
"The Nanshan Mountains are fierce and the wind is blowing. The people are all in the valley, so why am I the only one doing any harm?"
"The laws of Nanshan are as strong as the wind. The people are all in the valley, and I alone cannot fight!"
When I heard it for the first time, it was just a song related to the harvest. When I listened to it again, my homesickness and the negative emotions of being under siege were intertwined. After four or five times, the people in the camp started singing in unison with the people outside the camp.
Li Wu's eyes were red. He was really numb. What kind of brain did this kid have? Many things didn't cause alarm when they first appeared, but once they accumulated to a certain level, the results would be completely different.
Suddenly throwing the wine jue in his hand to the ground, Li Wu cursed angrily: "Young man from the Meng family, you go too far to bully others. Do you really think I'm that easy to bully?"
"Send the order, assemble the army and prepare for war,"
"Tomorrow, follow me out of the camp, fight your way to the encirclement of our fiefdom!"
"..."
After a long time, Li Wu didn't see any response from the ordering soldiers, so he walked out of the camp in confusion.
Apart from the singing, the number of people in the entire camp was somewhat sparse, and the messengers he usually used were also missing at this time.
Under the thin cover of night, there were many people at the east gate. Faced with many people leaving the camp, the guard ignored them, and Laihu was also among the crowd.
"Three Kingdoms, Shu Chronicles, Ma Su's Biography": "From day to night." Pei Song's note quoted Jin Xi's "Xiangyang Ji": "The way of using troops is to attack the heart first, and attack the city below."
