"Third brother, the scouts have already found out, that damn Xishu young general is in the south direction!" At this time, Duanmu Qiu had fallen into an inexplicable madness.
"You just heard his name, what about Wei Xiaowu? Just by hearing it, you knew it was a name from a lowly family. I, Duan Muchou, have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child, how can I lose to such a person!"
"Fourth brother, there will be a chance." Wu Zhen, who was next to him, hurriedly comforted him.
"Of course, I swear to kill this thief! Third brother, you and I will take advantage of the opportunity and kill him at once!"
Wu Zhen hesitated.
"If Third Brother doesn't go, nothing will happen, but in my heart, Duan Muchou, Third Brother will always be the one who loves me the most. Hebei Wuliang, Third Brother and I have known each other since we were children, and we are like brothers."
Wu Zhen gritted his teeth.
"Then let's go together. This time, you and I, brothers, will make great achievements!"
"Okay, Third Brother is righteous!"
…
"General Wei, the pursuers are coming!"
At this time, in the wilderness to the south, listening to the intelligence from the scouts, Wei Xiaowu was not nervous at all. The original purpose of that irritating plan was to attract Wuliang from Hebei.
"General Wei, this time is different. With at least 6,000 riders... I may not be able to win."
"It's hard to win." Wei Xiaowu nodded. The enemy's army is twice as large as mine, and it is easy to form a trap. But no matter what, until now, he has not thought about retreating.
Just like the little strategist's plan, these six or seven cavalry were used as triggers to attract more and more enemy troops.
After thinking about it, Wei Xiaowu suddenly remembered a good trick to lure the enemy that he personally taught when Military Master Jia was there in the general hall.
"Arrogant soldiers." Wei Xiaowu said calmly, "Send my military orders and they will be here in a moment. My three thousand cavalry will pretend to be encountered. When the enemy attacks, they will immediately retreat towards Dawan Pass."
"General Wei, what if the enemy doesn't pursue us?" a captain next to him asked.
"Then we will lose several formations in a row to lure the enemy to continue the pursuit. Of course, the defeat I am talking about is not a fight, but a pretense of morale collapse. Treat it like a defeated and remnant army."
"After the consecutive defeats, the casualties of soldiers may increase."
Wei Xiaowu shook his head, "As long as we don't engage in hand-to-hand combat... Let me put it bluntly, if he was really a wise general, he wouldn't be provoked by me and leave the camp."
The captains around him thought for a while and nodded towards Wei Xiaowu.
Not long after, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded from all around.
"General Wei is coming!"
"Fight for a while, then retreat immediately!" Wei Xiaowu put on his helmet and spoke in a cold tone.
"Lead the general's order!"
…
"The thief is right in front!" Duanmu Qiu, riding on a horse, rushed towards him, his face filled with the madness of revenge. During these days, although the military advisors and many generals did not blame them. But every time he saw those little captains and soldiers whispering to each other, he would just feel that they were laughing at him.
Only by killing the thief and bringing the leader back to the camp can the turmoil of this defeat be calmed down.
"Fourth brother, don't be too impatient. After studying the art of war for a long time, you should know that there is no permanent victor in the world. Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose -"
"Third brother, don't talk about it, don't talk about it anymore, follow me and kill him!"
Wu Zhen felt his mouth was dry and knew he couldn't persuade him, so he could only nod.
"Fourth brother, you and I are divided into two groups, forming a pincer attack. We should be able to defeat the Shu people!"
"Okay, third brother, go quickly! I will lead the charge first!"
"Fourth brother, be careful..."
Wu Zhen hurriedly picked up the reins, led nearly four thousand riders behind him, and began to make a circuitous route to outflank the Shu people.
"Charge over and pierce through the Shu thieves!" Duan Muchou raised his head and roared, holding a long knife in his hand, making a sound of relief, "This round, I want to see how he can escape!"
"General Duanmu, the Shu people discovered our army and began to rush over!" A captain hurriedly reported back.
"good!"
Hearing this sentence, Duanmu Qiu's face became even happier.
"Fight with me——"
Behind him, more than 3,000 Beiyu cavalry formed a cavalry formation and headed towards the front to fight. The thunderous sound of horse hooves shook the branches, and the snow on the last branch collapsed.
…
Wei Xiaowu's eyes were as bright as a torch, listening to the sound of horse hooves and looking ahead, all the while calculating the distance to change the formation.
Since it is a defeat, of course it cannot be a simple defeat.
If nothing unexpected happens, according to what Military Advisor Jia taught us, the enemy is twice as powerful as me, and in a flat and vast terrain, it is very likely that we will be attacked from a flank.
"You sons of Xishu, fight with your guns!"
"Kill all the Shu people!" Duan Muchou, who was riding on his horse, roared angrily when he saw the Shu people leveling their spears and preparing for a deadly fight in the direction of the charge.
He didn't know——
At this time, Wei Xiaowu yelled and began to look sideways. When he spotted the cavalry encircling them from the other direction, he finally smiled.
"No, the enemy force is strong, I will retreat as soon as possible!"
The three thousand Shu cavalry who had already known Wei Xiaowu's military order quickly changed their formation within the calculated safe distance and hurried forward to "escape".
Perhaps they were escaping too quickly, and even the riding formation became chaotic. There were even some dropped arrow pots, as well as iron spears and knives.
…
"Third brother, you are too hasty." Duan Muchou's voice still couldn't hide the anger of revenge. "Third brother, you are too hasty in taking a detour. When they see it, they will naturally run away."
Wu Zhen was silent for a while, "I have been very careful... Fourth brother, I always feel that the little thief general from Xishu may not be simple."
"Third brother, look at the ground here. There are all the armored arrow pots dropped in a hurry when the Shu thieves were defeated and fled. He knew he was no match for you and me joining forces, so he ran away with his tail between his legs."
Wu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Fourth brother, if I had chased him here, when I got back, I would have said that I had defeated Shu Qi, which would be considered an explanation."
"That's inappropriate!" Duan Muchou hurriedly shook his head, "I told you before, I swear to kill that little thief general! If the third brother is not willing to help me, I can only chase him by myself. If he dies unfortunately, the third brother does not need to blame himself. "
"Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense, I will naturally help you..." Wu Zhen sighed, and together with Duan Muchou, the two of them packed up their formation and continued to pursue the attack without further delay.
"The Shu thief shall die——"
As they chased wildly along the way, Duanmuchiu's face became more and more crazy.
…
Unlike him, Wei Xiaowu remained calm during his "escape". This round of luring the enemy has been launched according to his plan.
The young general from Beiyu who was chasing and scolding him at the back, the so-called Wuliang of Hebei, was, for some reason, going to be used to commemorate the Shu flag that was about to be raised in the war!
