Chapter 20: Tune the tiger away from the mountain(1/2)
Xu Xun did not disappoint Zhang Huang's excellent impression of him. After receiving the news conveyed by Chang Xi, the Taishan Army's lancet brought his men to Xishan Fei County without saying a word.
It was evening at that time, and Xu Xun and several other Gan generals under him found Zhang Huang and others who were peeping at the mountainside, who were spying on the situation in Fei County. When he heard that Xu Xun had been in full swing this time, he brought more than 400 lives, Zhang Huang and others were really surprised.
You must know that these are the full strength of the Taishan Army. If this battle is completed, Xu Xun will become a loser. In the future, the Taishan Prefect He Ying will no longer have to take care of the beast beside the couch.
Zang Ba was even more moved and could not speak.
Regarding this matter, Xu Xun smiled calmly and said, "If it weren't for Zang Jue Cao last year, Xu had already died in Taishan County, so how could the Taishan Army come from? Zang Jue Cao is no less than the recreation of our Taishan Army's parents. Now that we have trouble with our benefactor, how can Xu stand by and watch? How can our Taishan Army stand by and watch?"
These passionate words made Zang Ba, Chen Dao, Shan Fu, Li Tong and others express passionate expressions. It is no exaggeration to say that if they had not already had the Black Feather Crow's destination, they would probably have been under Xu Xun's command.
Xu Xun, the Taishan Army, is a hero!
"Captain Xu, how do you think this battle should be fought?" Zhang Huang unconsciously used the title of honor, and he was impressed by Xu Xun's personal charm.
Xu Xun smiled and waved his hand, then said seriously, "Xu has already thought about this matter, but I will mention it later. Xu wants to tell you something about Fei County." As he said that, he told Zhang Huang and others about the situation in Fei County in recent years, including one thousand soldiers from Ma Yantun, the commander of Taishan County, who were here to act as a mighty man and dominate the people. Only Zhang Huang and others could look straight and look straight, and they were so angry.
"This Fei County is a trap. He Yinggou thief deliberately leads me here. You Xiao Zheng of Zhang has guessed this." Looking at Zhang Huang with appreciation, Xu Xun said seriously, "According to Xu's surveillance of Fei County over the years, this Fei County seems ordinary, but in fact it is no different from the barracks. Ma Yan..." Speaking of this, he seemed to recall the situation when he first entered Mount Tai, took a breath, and said solemnly, "Although this person colluded with He Ying, using his power to seek personal gain, and dominate the countryside, his strength cannot be underestimated. It is not something you can compete with now. I don't know if you have heard that before Xu, there were also a bandit in Mount Tai, which was robbed, claiming to be a thousand or ten thousand people, but in the end, Ma Yan led 500 county soldiers to wipe it out."
Everyone who had already seen Xu Xun come to support and became more confident was shocked when they heard this, but Zhang Huang and Shan Fu vaguely heard the profound meaning of Xu Xun's words.
Sure enough, after a pause, Xu Xun continued, "Why should escort Zang Jue Cao to this point? Xu thought that he had mostly heard about the relationship between Xu and Zang Jue Cao from somewhere, so he used Zang Jue Cao as bait and waited for me to rob people. If there was no mistake, then Ma Yan's target would probably be Xu... So I thought so, Ma Yan and more than a thousand soldiers under him, led him away by our Taishan Army, as for saving people..." Xu Xun turned his eyes to Zhang Huang and his group.
[He...he actually wants to use himself as bait to create opportunities for us to save people?]
Zhang Huang's expression changed slightly, and he was once again impressed by Xu Xun's courage.
You should know that it is not easy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. After all, it is easy to deceive the other party for a while, but if you want to deceive the other party and pursue it, you must always keep Ma Yan's illusion that he can wipe out all the Taishan Army in the next moment!
Just a fraudulent defeat is not enough to truly deceive Ma Yan. After all, like Xu Xun, Ma Yan was a leading general who once led troops to suppress the enemy, and his combat experience is undoubtedly rich.
If even Ma Yan felt that he could annihilate the Taishan Corps by just adding another force, it means that the Taishan Army would always be in an extremely evil situation of being defeated in an instant for a certain period of time.
[The most clever trick is to make fake plays...]
Zhang Huang couldn't help but jump out of his mind. He finally understood what Xu Xun meant: the Taishan Army planned to use their lives to complete the strategy of digging the tiger away from the mountain, so as to facilitate Zhang Huang and others to sneak into Fei County to rescue Zang Yucao. Especially Xu Xun himself, his head was taken off by He Ying and Ma Yan day and night.
What kind of hero can sacrifice this for others?
Zhang Huang took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
Seeing that Zhang Huang nodded in agreement with Xu Xun and the Taishan Army's plan to die, Zang Ba's expression changed drastically and said in surprise, "Boss, you..."
"Stop!" After drinking Zang Ba's words, Zhang Huang looked at Xu Xun and said seriously, "If you say one more word now, it will insult the leader Xu and insult the many brothers of the Taishan Army! You can rescue Zang Zhucao from the death to the death. As long as you respond to this matter, you will keep the rest in your heart!"
[Boss…]
The Black Feather Crow looked at the serious Zhang Huang in surprise, then faced Xu Xun, clenched his fists and hit his heart hard, solemn and solemn.
[The heart is righteous, and you will never regret it if you die!]
"..." Xu Xun was slightly moved because he felt the will of a dead man from Zhang Huang and other members of the Black Feather Crow.
[Each one has a strong resilience. Especially the little devil named Zhang Huang... It's a pity that I thought I had found a young man with leadership potential for my Taishan Army...]
"We must rescue Zang Yucao!"
After showing a helpless smile that made Zhang Huang puzzled, Xu Xun left with some loss.
Half an hour later, under the close attention of Zhang Huang and others on the hillside, outside Fei County, more than 400 people from Xu Xun's Taishan Army quietly touched the county gate.
"Swish--"
Several generals behind Xu Xun quickly climbed up to the county wall that was only more than two meters high, and silently ended the lives of the sentry on the sentry tower.
"Boom--Squeak--"
Amid a loud rumbling sound, the city gate of Fei County was captured unconsciously by the Black Mountain military god.
"superior!"
A Taishan Army general waved his hand and lowered his voice and signaled.
Before he finished speaking, more than 400 Taishan troops rushed into the county town like bees.
Everything went smoothly and made people feel incredible, but there was no trace of joy on Xu Xun's face. On the contrary, the solemn expression on his face made people feel a little breathless.
Suddenly, a fire of cannon sounded in the county town, and then, light shone everywhere in the city, and countless soldiers in military uniforms rushed out of various rooms in the county town.
"Xu Xun, you are indeed here, hahaha! It seems that Lord He is right. That guy Zang Jie is indeed colluding with the bandits of Mount Tai!"
Accompanied by a burst of arrogant laughter, Ma Yan, the commander of Taishan County, walked out of a folk house with his upper body shirtless while wearing a belt.
"..." A murderous intent flashed in Xu Xun's disgusting eyes, because he vaguely heard that from the house where Ma Yan had just walked out, he felt a strong sense of silence.
Only when people are extremely desperate will they produce such an aura.
"Kill!" There was no quarrel with Ma Yanduo at all, and Xu Xun spit out a cold word.
"Oh?" Ma Yan was stunned for a moment, grinned, and then the smile on his face suddenly closed, and he sarcastically said, "I really didn't expect you to dare to show up in front of this commander. Could it be that I forgot who broke the bones of the chest back then? Ah? It seems that this commander needs to ask you to deepen your impression!" As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed at the Tate Mountain Army, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said fiercely, "Kill, no one left!"
"Whoa whoa--"
The soldiers of Yiqian Fei County raised their arms and shouted, and rushed towards the Taishan Army like a tide.
This scene made Zhang Huang and others who were paying attention to the battle on the hillside immediately feel excited.
"So...so amazing!" Li Tong stuttered in a low voice.
He, who was born in an ordinary martial family, had never seen such a battle between more than a thousand people? Even though the tragic battlefield was far apart, Zhang Huang and others could clearly feel the Tao.
That feeling of stagnation that makes people breathless.
[Captain Xu Da…]
Perhaps Zhang Huang didn't notice that he clenched his fists inadvertently. For some reason, Xu Xun's last sentence of entrustment before leaving gave him a vague premonition, as if it was the final farewell.
But then again, Zhang Huang had to admit that he had underestimated the Taishan Army before. I am afraid no one expected that in the face of thousands of enemies, the Taishan Army did not show any defeat. Instead, under the leadership of several Gan generals under Xu Xun, the battle became more and more courageous.
Especially the forty-five strong men, with long spears in their hands, they were airtight, and in terms of their strength, they actually beat Fei County's soldiers at a higher level.
"I am worthy of being a county soldier from the former Juping County!" Chen Dao danced his fist excitedly.
However, beside him, Shan Fu gradually frowned and murmured, "It's not great..."
Chen Dao was a little angry when he heard this, and said unhappy, "What are you talking about in poverty? Didn't you see that the leader Xu is the one who has the advantage now?" As he said that, he turned to look at Zhang Huang and said with anticipation, "Boss, I didn't expect that the leader Xu and the others are so powerful, otherwise they would help? Maybe there is no need for any plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain, and they can directly break through this county town..."
Before he could finish his words, Shan Fu interrupted with an anxious look on his face, "No!"
"Why not?" Chen Dao said angrily, "Are we just watching the leader Xu and others fight bloody battles without any affection?"
Shan Fu looked at Zhang Huang's expression first, and saw that his expression was as good as before and was not affected by Chen Dao's words. He breathed a sigh of relief. Then he explained to Chen Dao slowly, "You said you are healthy but not wise, why do you think the leader Xu proposed the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Isn't it because he is not sure to defeat Ma Yan's 1,000 soldiers? Now the leader Xu is indeed the leader Xu has the advantage, but have you seen it? The real powerful one is not the whole of the Taishan Army, but the 40 or 50 people fighting on the front line. You also said that those people were originally county soldiers of Juping County, so they were so powerful, and they were faintly superior to the soldiers of Fei County. Don't forget, except for these 40 or 50 people, who are the other people of Taishan Army?"
Chen Dao was stunned when he heard this. Then he remembered that except for the extremely powerful forty or fifty soldiers of the Taishan Army, the rest of the Taishan Army were originally ordinary people, and most of them were young people like Sun Guan and Wu Dun, how could they compare to the strong soldiers of Fei County?
"As soon as those forty or fifty county soldiers and men from Juping County died, the Taishan Army may..." Shan Fu sighed deeply.
After Shan Fu's explanation, Sun Guan, Wu Dun and Yin Li, who were originally very happy, changed their faces drastically, and they gritted their teeth tightly, with sad faces on their faces.
At this time, Li Tong suddenly asked, "Captain Xu... Why didn't he retreat? According to the plan, he should have been defeated at this time..."
"..." Zhang Huang's eyes trembled slightly.
[Captain Xu, you are not planning to...]
Little, Zhang Huang's vague premonition was getting stronger and stronger.
Only then did he realize that a crucial issue in the plan proposed by Xu Xun, that is, how could Ma Yan feel that the Taishan Army will be wiped out this time, and he firmly believes in this?
I'm afraid only Xu Xun died in battle...
Only when Xu Xun, the leader of the Taishan Army, died in battle, could Ma Yan believe in this matter.
[Dead here in battle…]
Just as Zhang Huang secretly sweated for Xu Xun, Xu Xun was already carrying his sword and slowly walking towards Ma Yan in the distance. Along the way, the Taishan Army fought bloody battles with the soldiers of Fei County to protect their leaders, and the purpose was only to open a road to Ma Yan for Xu Xun.
Every step Xu Xun takes, a Taishan army will inevitably die under the enemy's sword. Even if it is said that this is a road opened up by the Taishan army for its leaders with flesh and blood. It is not an exaggeration.
"Well? Is the target the lieutenant?"
Perhaps realizing Xu Xun's intention, Ma Yan grinned and ordered his left and right, "Get the gun of this commander!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four soldiers from Fei County came to Ma Yan with a scary iron spear.
"Dong--" I took the iron spear with one hand that needed to be carried by four soldiers. Ma Yan paused it on the ground casually, and felt that the entire ground seemed to be shaking.
[What a powerful beast!]
Even though Xu Xun looked down on Ma Yan's character very much, he could not help but be shocked by his divine power. After all, according to visual observation, the iron spear, as thick as an adult's arm, was probably about a hundred pounds.
"Hu—!Hu—!Hu—!Hu—!"
I don’t know if it was a warm-up, but Ma Yan danced the iron spear in his hand, but he heard the sound of the wind and whistling.
This strange power was really shocking, and even Xu Xun couldn't help but sweat from his forehead.
[It's really a waste of time...are you ready to die?]
With a self-deprecating smile, Xu Xun slowly pulled out the sharp sword from the scabbard, resolutely discarded the scabbard, and walked towards Ma Yan step by step.
Perhaps, Xu Xun did not reveal the truth to Zhang Huang and the others, perhaps his real plan was like this: if he could get rid of Ma Yan, that would be good; if he had not died unfortunately at Ma Yan's hands, then when the Taishan Army retreated at this time, Ma Yan would inevitably pursue his military strength, and at this time, Zhang Huang and the others could take the opportunity to sneak into Fei County.
In order to deceive the experienced Ma Yan, Xu Xun actually planned to use his life to improve this strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain!
