Chapter 542
Shangguan Yuanrang was shot in the neck by an arrow. Even if he died, he was seriously injured. At least he could no longer participate in the battle for a short time. This made Yan Zui breathe a sigh of relief and his excitement was beyond words. He first praised Peng He and gave him He made a great contribution, and then asked Wang Yi with a smile on his face: "Old General Wang, now Shangguan Yuanrang is seriously injured, his life and death are unknown, and the Feng Army has been defeated. Our army might as well take advantage of the situation to fight back and catch the Feng Army by surprise!" "
Wang Yi also saw that Shangguan Yuanrang's neck had been injured by an arrow, but he was not as optimistic as Yan Shu. Even if Shangguan Yuanrang was really shot to death, the main force of the Feng Army was still there. If the opponent insisted on defending the camp, his own force would attack. It doesn't take any advantage. He shook his head and said: "The enemy's main force is still there. It is not appropriate for our army to attack rashly at the moment. It is better to wait and see what happens and then make plans!"
Yan Zuo respected Wang Yi very much and followed his advice. Although he felt that not attacking now would be a waste of opportunity, he still followed Wang Yi's advice and ordered the entire army not to leave the city to pursue the enemy.
Let's talk about Shangguan Yuanrang, who was carried back to the Fengjun camp by many soldiers. As soon as he entered the camp, Shangguan Yuanrang, who was originally unconscious, was shaken and bounced away from the surrounding soldiers who were carrying him, and then stood up in a leap. , asked the soldiers on the left and right: "Did Ning's army pursue them out of the city?"
No one answered, everyone stood there dumbfounded, their eyes as wide as copper bells, staring at Shangguan Yuanrang in dumbfounded manner as if they were looking at a ghost. At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang's appearance was quite scary. He stood on the ground with a bright steel arrow stuck in his neck. The scene was both strange and terrifying.
Seeing that no one around him answered, Shangguan Yuanrang was about to ask again. At this time, someone said with a smile: "Ning Jun did not chase out of the city. General Yuanrang, don't worry. This has been expected by me." This person was none other than Liang Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Sanshui Army.
When Liang Qi walked up to Shangguan Yuan Rang, he was also startled when he saw the steel arrow on his neck, and asked: "General Yuan Rang is not injured, is he?"
Shangguan Yuanrang followed Liang Qi's line of sight and touched his neck. Only then did he realize that the steel arrow was still there. He sneered, grabbed the steel arrow with his hand, pulled it out fiercely, then threw it to the ground with a wave of his hand, and said proudly : "How can such a small skill hurt me?!" Peng He's spiritual arrows are very powerful, but they are far inferior to Jiang Fan's spiritual arrows. Even Jiang Fan's spiritual arrows cannot hurt Shangguan Yuan even a bit, let alone is his?
When Peng Heyi shot an arrow, Shangguan Yuanrang had dispersed the spiritual armor around his neck and turned it into spiritual mist. When the spiritual arrow was about to pass through the spiritual mist, Shangguan Yuanrang immediately transformed the spiritual energy into spiritual armor. , the spiritual mist immediately turned into a physical entity and clamped the arrowhead of the spiritual arrow tightly.
On the surface, the spiritual arrow hit Shangguan Yuanrang's neck and was firmly nailed to it, but in fact it was just caught by the spiritual armor and did not hurt his skin at all. Of course, this is easy to say, but it is too difficult and dangerous to do. Although there are people in the world who can do this, there are only a few who dare to do it. If you seize the opportunity a little, If you were half a minute slower, this arrow would be enough to shoot through your own neck.
The reason why Shangguan Yuan Rang was willing to take such a big risk and deliberately take this arrow was Liang Qi's intention. The enemy was afraid of Shangguan Yuan Rang and did not dare to go out to fight. So if Shangguan Yuan Rang was seriously injured in full view of the public, the enemy would again Don't worry, the possibility of going out of the city to meet the attack is very high.
Now that Ning Jun did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him, Liang Qi had already expected it. When Tang Yin sent the Flying Eagle Army to deliberately go between Xiaoxia and Fengcheng, Ning Jun was not fooled. This shows that his commander must be an extremely cautious and shrewd person. However, He still has a backup plan, and he is not afraid that Ning Jun will not be fooled.
After all the main forces of the Sanshui Army had withdrawn to the camp, Liang Qi immediately gave Shangguan Yuan a cavalry force of 2,000 people and ordered them to sneak out from the back gate of his camp and lurk in a hidden place near the south of Fengcheng. , and he ordered the entire army to pack up and prepare to retreat. However, during his retreat, he did not dismantle the camp, but kept the entire camp intact, and ordered his soldiers to make many straw men. Put on Fengjun's clothes and place them in the camp.
There was nothing to say that day. The next day, he sent his generals to Fengcheng to fight with bluff. Fengcheng had not yet figured out the details of the Feng Army and did not know whether Shangguan Yuanrang was dead or alive, so they did not send anyone out of the city to fight and continued to hold on. In the early morning, Liang Qi led the main force of the Sanshui Army to quietly exit the camp, and quickly retreated towards Tongmen under the cover of night.
At this time, even Bai Yong couldn't figure out what Liang Qi's intention was. If he wanted to retreat to Tongmen, then why did he have Shangguan Yuanrang ambushed near Fengcheng? If Liang Qi did not intend to retreat to Tongmen, but judging from the speed at which he commanded the army, it was not marching slowly at all, but retreating at full speed!
The Sanshui Army all retreated. No matter how covert their actions were, they could not hide it from the spies of the Ning Army. Soon, the Ning Army spies brought the news of Feng Army's retreat back to Fengcheng. After hearing the news, his natural spirit was greatly boosted, and he hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss what he should do.
Wang Yi did not express his opinion immediately, but said: "General, how about we go to the top of the city to take a look?"
"That's fine!"
It should be a strict nod.
The generals of the Ning army, led by Yan Kui, quickly came to the top of the east city and looked out. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the Fengjun camp was clearly visible, with flags fluttering and soldiers and armor standing in large numbers, with a majestic momentum. Wang Yi slowly frowned, turned around and asked, "Where is the spy?"
"The villain is here!" The Ning Jun spies who came to the city to report the news hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute.
Wang Yi said coldly: "Come here, drag this thief out and kill him!" He gave the order, and two of the surrounding Ning Army guards immediately came up, grabbed the spies' arms and started to walk down the city.
When the spy saw this, his face turned pale with fright, and he screamed: "Unjust! General, the villain is not guilty, the villain is unfair..."
"Unjustly accused?" Wang Yi sneered, pointed to the Feng Army camp outside the city, and said: "The Feng Army camp is still there, and the army in the camp is still there. You lied about the military situation, what will I do with you?"
The spy was sweating profusely and said in a trembling voice: "I saw the Feng army retreating towards Tongmen with my own eyes. There is absolutely no lie. The general will check it out!"
Wang Yi looked at the spy with sharp eyes. After a long while, he chuckled and waved his hand, asking Jiawei to let go of the spy. Then he turned back and looked at the Fengjun camp again. He rolled his eyes and said, Yan Zhi raised his hands and said, "Congratulations, General, the Feng Army has retreated!"
Yan Zhi and the surrounding generals were stunned. Wasn't the fact already before their eyes? The Feng Army's camp was there, and the Feng Army inside was also there. Even the huge flag in the camp was clearly visible. Why did Wang Yi, like the spies, also say that the Feng Army had retreated?
Seeing the puzzled expressions on Yan Zhi and the other generals, Wang Yi smiled and said, "It's Mao hour now, and it's time for the whole army to start cooking. General, do you think there is any smoke rising from the Feng Army camp?"
Hearing this, Yan Zui and others were secretly surprised, and they all looked towards Feng Camp. Sure enough, although the huge Feng Army camp was lined with soldiers and flags, there was not even a single smoke smoke. On the other hand, Feng Jun camp Inside the city, smoke was already curling up. No wonder I always feel like something is not right when I look at the Fengjun camp. It turns out that the camp is filled with a lifeless atmosphere.
Wang Yi continued: "The general dares to assert that the current Feng Army camp is an empty camp. Since the main force of the Feng Army has retreated, it means that even if Shangguan Yuanrang is not dead, he is seriously injured, and the morale of his soldiers must be low. General, now is a good opportunity to hunt down the enemy, we must not let the Feng army back to Tongmen like this!"
Hearing this, Yan Zhi was elated. The time for him to make great contributions has finally come. He was about to give the order for the whole army to go out of the city to chase Feng Jun. Wang Yi rolled his eyes and said again: "General, you can send a team of troops to Feng Jun first." Camp, explore the truth!”
"Yes! What the old general said is absolutely true!" Yan asked his subordinates: "Which general is willing to go out of the city to find out?"
"The final general is willing to go!" Following the loud voice, a Ning general strode forward and stepped in to ask for help.
Yan Zhi nodded and sent him five thousand elites to leave the city and go to the Feng Army camp. When the Ning general led the Ning army to enter the Feng army camp carefully, there was no living person inside. They were all straw men. After careful inspection in the Feng army camp, the Ning general finally confirmed that Wang Yi The conjecture is correct. The Feng army used a large camp and straw men to deceive others, but in fact the army has retreated. He didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to rush back to Fengcheng to report the situation to Yan Zong.
After hearing General Ning's report, Ning's army, led by Yan Zui, seemed to be on steroids. Faced with this opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, they were not willing to let go. Yan Zui immediately led the army and rushed out of Fengcheng. They chased after the Sanshui Army who was retreating towards Tongmen.
However, Wang Yi kept an eye on it and specifically told Yan Zong not to take all the troops out, but to leave 10,000 soldiers to guard the home in Fengcheng. He did not dare to be careless even though he was severely punished, and left 10,000 Ning troops in Fengcheng.
The Ning army went out of the city to pursue the retreating Sanshui army. On the other side, Shangguan Yuanrang and two thousand cavalry were ready to attack. At this time, they were hiding in a depression, more than five miles away from Fengcheng, because it was For cavalry, five miles is just a distance that can be reached in an instant.
Upon learning that Ning Jun had left the city, Shangguan Yuanrang was happy, and at the same time secretly admired that Liang Qi's calculation was really powerful, and Ning Jun was really tricked out by him.
He led his men to wait silently. Liang Qi had told him that the main force of the Ning army had to leave the city for at least three hours before launching a sneak attack. Three hours is not a long time, but for the current Shangguan Yuanrang, every minute and second passes extremely slowly.
He felt that he had waited long enough, and asked a commander beside him: "Is it three hours since Ning Jun left the city?"
The captain smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and replied: "General Yuan Rang, half an hour has not passed yet!"
"Why so slow!" Shangguan Yuanrang muttered, lying down on the ground and closing his eyes to rest.
Finally, after waiting for three hours of long suffering, Shangguan Yuanrang did not pause, flew on his horse, drew out the sword he carried with him, pointed in the direction of Fengcheng, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me into Fengcheng, what will you encounter?" Enemy troops, leave no trace behind! Kill—"
