Da Wei Chun

Chapter 115 Poisoning
Li Wenzhong held back his anger, and explained with a smirk: "Military masters have little experience in battles, so they don't know the tricks of war. If the enemy and thieves really only have three hundred, they will definitely deploy them in the hinterland to serve as surprise soldiers, not like this." put it out early...

This is clearly to defend the enemy from outside the county, so I concluded that after the white cavalry, there must be strong troops... If you don't withdraw at this time, it may be too late to withdraw..."

The monk looked at Li Wenzhong dubiously: "General, don't lie to me, the monk doesn't know anything about soldiers, and he also understands the principle of using the false to make the real, and the real to make the false, what if the enemy is bluffing?
Furthermore, the request to march westward to open up important roads was made by you personally, General. If you withdraw without sending a single shot, how should the General explain to your brother and the King of France? "

Li Wenzhong roared angrily: "It's the Dharma king who said that there are only three hundred county soldiers..."

The monk gave him a sideways look: "Was the general there when the tortured soldiers were tortured that day? Seven or eight of the defeated soldiers all said the same thing, can there be a lie? And it is true that there are only three hundred. Whether there are any more, we have to wait." See you later..."

Li Wenzhong gritted his teeth in hatred.

When you really see it, it's too late for you to cry...

Damn you bald man, if you want to die, don't hold grandpa on your back?

The more the monk persisted, the more frightened Li Wenzhong became.

He always had a premonition that a catastrophe was about to come...

I was thinking about how to persuade Faming again, when I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Following the long sound of "report...", a soldier slammed into the door, knelt on the ground on one knee, and said anxiously: "General Bing, military advisor, the white-armored cavalry is here again..."

Li Wenzhong was startled: "How much, where did it go?"

"The number of cavalry doubled and they were divided into two groups. One came along the Red River, and the other came along the Ru River... Except for the cavalry, there were no bandit soldiers anymore..."

Double it, that's six hundred!

Even if he can really fight against one out of ten, he still doesn't have enough six thousand soldiers...

Li Wenzhong gritted his teeth in hatred, and roared angrily: "Military division, even if you want to withdraw at this time, it will be difficult..."

"Just [-] enemy cavalry, can you bluff the general like this?"

Fa Ming looked puzzled, "Even if we really can't win, we just need to defend the village, but this enemy cavalry has no weapons to attack the city, so how dare they hit a horse against a wall?

And this place is only two hundred miles away from Wuzhi. Send a fast horse to report, and it will be there in half a day. If the King of Fa and Brother Ling can send armored cavalry to help, it will be a day at most... Could it be that the general can't even hold it for two days? ? "

You know the shit!

Do you know what it means to beat a dog in the water and what it means to pick a persimmon and pinch it softly?

Hu Duo, the governor of Longdong County, loves to play around with the wind, and when he sees an opportunity to take advantage of, what if he has the courage to come here to pick a bargain?
For such a huge Jingyang city, if there are not many siege equipment, it is within time to build the capital now.

It only takes half a day to flatten the wall that is about ten feet high...

I also blame myself, I was careless for a while, and I chose to camp here?
Li Wenzhong was in doubt, he didn't want to say a word to Farmingo, he just snorted coldly: "Military Master, follow me to the wall, you'll know when you see it..."

……

Even though it was still nearly ten miles away, Li Wenzhong still saw an earth dragon rising from the river in the north and south, approaching east.

Just looking at the smoke and dust, the formation is not too big, at most five or six hundred horsemen, and looking back, there is no smoke and dust rising, presumably they have not led troops anymore.

But the strange thing is that there are not many soldiers, so why divide them?
Do you want to outflank?

But what is the use of surrounding the farm if there are only cavalry?
Taking a closer look to the south, Li Wenzhong felt a little more at ease when he saw no Tanqi in the direction of Jingyang.

Hu Duo is the most bullying and suspicious, not sure if it is cheap or a big pit, so he will definitely not mix it indiscriminately.

If the enemy army really only has these [-] armored cavalry, although they cannot win, they will definitely be able to stand firm...

It's also strange, if this enemy general really knows how to fight, he shouldn't even understand the principle of luring the enemy deep, right?
If you replace the enemy with yourself, you will definitely hide your troops in the dark, and when the enemy advances or retreats, you will highlight the cavalry and cut down the middle...

Still walking so leisurely, as if you are on a leisurely spring outing?
Li Wenzhong always felt that there was something strange, but he racked his brains and couldn't figure it out, so he had to send scouts to approach, so as to find out why the enemy came so slowly?
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. After several catties of copper were rewarded, dozens of riders rushed to the banks of the two rivers.

About two quarters later, the smoke and dust cleared, and the white riders on the river on both banks seemed to have stopped. Li Wenzhong estimated that it was only five or six miles away from the farm.

From time to time, the scouts sent out also returned one after another, but none of them were damaged.

Presumably it was too close, and the enemy general was also afraid of falling into the trick of luring the enemy to go deep, so he didn't dare to pursue and kill him.

"General, the enemy cavalry stopped by the bank, as if throwing something into the Red River?"

"It's the same with the Ruhe River. I dismounted from my humble position and tasted it boldly. When I noticed that the river water was slightly bitter, I brought a bag back..."

Throwing something in the river?

Li Wenzhong's hairs stood on end!

He roared fiercely: "Submit it..."

Tanqi immediately drove his horse to the wall and threw a cowhide water bag up.

After just licking it a little, Li Wenzhong's face turned as pale as dirt.

Arsenic...

He finally understood why the enemy cavalry only had [-] horses, but they still had to divide their troops on both sides of the strait, like a spring outing, coming so slowly.

Just because the poison is too far away, when it rushes over, it will not have much toxicity, so the closer the better.

It came too fast, under my own suspicion, maybe I will send out all the troops to fight, how can I give him time to calmly poison?

It was just that he found corpses in the river from time to time. In order to ensure the safety of the water source as much as possible, he chose to march and camp in the middle of the two rivers.

But he didn't expect the enemy general to be so vicious, so he directly came to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot?
Even before the battle, you want to cut off your water source and mess up your military morale?

How do you keep this?
"What is it?"

Seeing that Li Wenzhong's face was not right, Fa Ming subconsciously grabbed the water bag, but found that Li Wenzhong's hands were like iron hoops...

"Arsenic..." Li Wenzhong growled.

Faming's hands trembled in fright, and before he could open his mouth quickly, a big hand pressed it up.

"You don't want to live anymore? If the soldiers know that the water source has been cut off, who is still willing to meet the enemy, let alone two days, I am afraid that you will not be able to hold it for half a day..."

"This... how can this enemy general act like this..." The monk was so shocked that he couldn't even say a word.

"The two armies are fighting each other with their own means. As long as they can win, it doesn't matter if he does it or not?"

Li Wenzhong said with his eyes tearing apart, "It's hateful, I was careless for a while, and a certain one didn't expect..."

"I advised you to fight as soon as possible..." Faming complained angrily, but then he thought about it, so what if it's half an hour in the morning?
The Red River, the Ru River, and the Jing River about [-] miles to the south all originate from Kongtong Mountain, and flow from west to east. The enemy army occupies the geography, and they can poison them whenever they want...

He asked in surprise, "What should we do now, should we retreat, fight, or defend?"

"The enemy is all armored cavalry, and they are all soft and big horses. Only these thousand or so miscellaneous cavalry can't stop us... just need the tail title, and they can kill us all. How do you withdraw?"

Li Wenzhong gritted his teeth and said, "But if you want to keep...God knows how much poison the thieves have in their hands, and how poisonous the water is? The water in the two rivers is already undrinkable, but relying on the two wells in Zhuangzi, even 1000 people They can't even support them, let alone five thousand soldiers and more than a thousand mules and horses..."

Faming sighed sadly: "Then the only thing left is to fight!"

Just now he tried every means to persuade Li Wenzhong to go to war as soon as possible, but now he was worried.

Just because the enemy's actions are so weird, it seems that they are going to force themselves out of the farm and fight to the death...

Monks can think of this, how could Li Wenzhong not think of it?

But if we continue to delay, once the soldiers know that the water source has been cut off, I am afraid that they will not be able to raise the last trace of fighting spirit and morale, and then not only will they be defeated, but they will also be completely defeated...

Almost in a desperate situation, Li Wenzhong knew it was wrong, so he could only fight to the death.

He couldn't figure it out, after just one night, why did the situation turn so suddenly, forcing him to do his best?
But now is not the time to delve into this issue.

Li Wenzhong let out a bad breath, and said in a deep voice: "For the current plan, we can only fight to the death... Maybe we can't fight for a way to survive..."

The monk was a bit hesitant: "You also said before that there must be strong soldiers after the bandits, and there is little chance of winning?"

"If you look at the smoke and dust, the enemy army should only have five or six hundred cavalry... Even if there are strong soldiers, they should be twenty or thirty miles away, otherwise there will be smoke and dust rising from the west... If there are really strong troops behind, the six hundred cavalry It must be a soldier who lures the enemy, as long as I leave the camp, I will definitely retreat..."

It means that whether the enemy army has strong soldiers or not can be known with a test.

Fa Ming gritted his teeth fiercely: "Then try it and see..."
