Facing the fierce firepower of the Tang army, Wang Xingben's method of "attacking day and night, exchanging lives for lives" quickly went bankrupt. Because the burning Tongguan city wall, normal people could not climb smoothly. But soon, Wang Xingben came up with a poisonous plan.
"General, although the Tang army's fierce fire oil is difficult to defeat, it is by no means as common as grass and trees. As long as the Tang army's fierce fire oil is used up, we will win! General, the Tang army has never used the fierce fire oil before, but now it has
If they come out to use it, this shows that their reserves of fierce fire oil are definitely not large!" Wang Xingben said.
After hearing this, Wang Tai and Wang Renze felt their scalps numb. Wang Xingben's strategy was too vicious, and he wanted Zheng Jun to go through the flames and use up all the kerosene.
Even Wang Shiyun was very hesitant at this time, "If you do this, the morale of the army will be shaken."
Soldiers are not fools, of course they can see this obvious behavior of committing suicide. They may be fooled once or twice, but if they commit suicide in large numbers, anyone can see it. At that time, the morale of the military will inevitably be violently shaken.
Seeing Wang Shiyun's hesitation, Wang Xingben stopped trying to persuade him. If his strategy failed and he was held accountable, he might be blamed.
After much deliberation, Wang Shiyun had no choice.
At this time, Wang Renze said: "How about we pretend to be defeated and retreat, lure Li Zhiyun to lead his army out of the border to pursue him, and then ambush him."
"Elaborate." Wang Shiyun's eyes lit up.
Wang Renze said: "This time Li Zhiyun brought out the fierce fire oil. We can just pretend to be repelled by the fierce fire oil, flee in a panic, leave the baggage behind, and lure Li Zhiyun out of the seclusion. In this way, the army will encircle him and win!"
"What a good plan!" Mrs. Wang said, stroking her hands, "Li Zhiyun is young and energetic. He must have thought that our army could not attack for a long time and wanted to retreat. In addition, he used strong fire oil to resist, and our army was defeated. It is reasonable that he must have been fooled!"
Hearing this, Wang Xingben frowned and asked, "What if Li Zhiyun is not fooled?"
"Then do you have a better way?" Wang Renze asked.
Wang Xingben said nothing. He really had no better way.
Seeing this, Wang Shiyun thought for a moment and thought he could do it!
The next day, the Zheng army attacked again, this time lasting for a day and night. After the Tang army brought out heavy fire oil, Wang Shiyun decisively ordered a retreat, leaving behind a large amount of baggage, causing signs of panic and fleeing.
Tongguan.
"Withdrawn?" Li Zhiyun looked at Xie Shufang.
The latter nodded, "Not only did they withdraw, but they also left behind a lot of baggage."
Yu Yun immediately said: "Your Highness, Zheng's army must be afraid of our army's fire oil. In addition, since it has been unable to attack for a long time, it wants to retreat. Now is a good time to pursue!"
"Wait a minute!" Du Ruhui interrupted, cupping his hands and saying, "Your Highness, something is fishy."
"What's strange?" Yu Jun asked.
Du Ruhui said: "It is true that the Zheng army is afraid of our army's fire oil, but it is impossible to leave behind the baggage and escape. Your Majesty, my subordinates feel that this is Zheng Jun's intention. They cannot capture Tongguan and want to lure the king to pursue them and then ambush them."
."
Li Zhiyun touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Go and burn all Zheng Jun's baggage, and then go into seclusion."
"Yes." Xie Shufang clasped his fists.
Yu Yun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, do we really want to give up this opportunity? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If your Majesty can defeat these 100,000 Zheng troops, our army will have a good chance of annihilating Wang Shichong in one fell swoop!"
Li Zhiyun shook his head, "The soldiers have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and it is not suitable to send troops to pursue them at this time. Furthermore, my mission is to defend Tongguan, not to risk a pursuit."
Hearing this, Yu Yun wanted to persuade him again, but Li Zhiyun waved his hand to interrupt him, "That's it, send out scouts to pay close attention to Zheng Jun's movements."
"yes!"
Regardless of whether the Zheng army was really defeated or not, Li Zhiyun had no intention of pursuing it. This was because the Tang army had been fighting fiercely for a long time and the soldiers were exhausted, so they were not suitable for such a gamble.
As Li Zhiyun led his people to leave, Yu Jun complained to Zhang Shigui.
"The King of Chu was too cautious and missed a good opportunity!"
Zhang Shigui shook his head and said: "I think King Chu did the right thing. Zheng Jun abandoned his baggage and ran away at this time. It is difficult not to make people doubt whether they were faking defeat."
Yu Yun was stunned.
Wang Shiyun led the army and fled all the way back to Shaanzhou. On the way, he did not miss any scene he was supposed to perform, just waiting for Li Zhiyun to take the bait.
However, for the past three days, Wang Shiyun did not see even a single trace of the Tang army, let alone the Tang army.
"Where are the people?" he asked Scout Gu.
The scout lowered his head and replied: "The Tang army did not leave the border, but sent people to burn the baggage we left behind."
Wang Shiyun:o(≧口≦)o
Damn it!
I......
A mouthful of old blood spurted out, and Wang Shiyun froze and fell down.
"General!"
"General!"
At Wang Shiyun's last moment, he only heard someone calling him, but his vision went dark, and he finally passed out.
Wang Shiyun woke up the next day and was thinking about a problem.
He is all in the Gods and Demons of Ganxi?
Did Li Zhiyun see through his plan from the beginning?
Is this still a young man?
This person is too stable.
"We don't have much time left. If we fail to capture Tongguan, I have no choice but to apologize to Your Majesty." Wang Shiyun looked at Wang Tai, Wang Renze and Wang Xingben in confusion.
Wang Renze lowered his head and said nothing. He was now temporarily deprived of the right to speak. For nothing else, it was because of his fraudulent defeat strategy that made them look like a bad guy.
Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and sighed at a loss. This kind of thing was indeed too difficult for him.
When Wang Shiyun went on an expedition, Mrs. Wang felt that she could easily follow and take credit.
When he knew that the commander-in-chief of Tongguan was Li Zhiyun, he felt happy because he heard that Li Zhiyun was just a teenage boy who didn't know how to fight. He even felt that Li Zhiyun became the commander-in-chief entirely because
It’s because Li Zhiyun is Li Yuan’s son.
Until now, Mrs. Wang felt very uncomfortable because Li Zhiyun, who looked younger than him, actually beat them up and knocked them around.
Unlike Mrs. Wang, Wang Xing didn't think that he couldn't defeat Li Zhiyun. He thought that Zheng Jun couldn't defeat Tongguan.
"Uncle Emperor, now we must either return to Luoyang or continue to attack Tongguan. Li Zhiyun is determined to defend, and the strategy has no effect. He can only attack with real swords and guns."
Wang Shiyun's head hurt when he heard the strong attack, but he couldn't refute it.
So he asked: "How confident are you?"
"Not sure." Wang Xingben answered directly.
Wang Shiyun was speechless. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before finally making up his mind.
"Let's try again, we have no other choice."
Asking him to go back and accept the crime like this, he couldn't do it.
Li Zhiyun quickly received the news of Zheng Jun's return.
"I should have cooperated with your performance, but I turned a blind eye? (^?^*)"
Listening to King Chu humming an unknown tune, everyone smiled knowingly.
Du Ruhui said: "Wang Shiyun can really torture Zheng Jun this time."
"We also lost a lot of baggage," Xue Shou added.
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed loudly.
Li Zhiyun stopped humming, sat upright, and said: "This time Wang Shiyun comes back, he must be planning to attack head-on. We cannot take it lightly."
