kingly way

Chapter 201 Chapter 201

In Shouchun Yiling's Mansion, Ying Luo, Su Yun, Gui Shanbing and Yiling Wang Tongqing are sitting in the living room.

Bai Zhaorui walked in happily.

Seeing Bai Zhaorui's expression, Ying Luo understood a little bit.

Ying Luo looked at Bai Zhaorui and smiled, and asked, "Is everything going well?"

Bai Zhaorui was very excited, and replied: "General, according to your opinion, our tied straw figures were hung down the city wall, and once they were placed at the bottom of the wall, Xu Guojun thought that we were going to attack them by surprise, and took our straw figures to the ground. I shot them into hedgehogs, haha... when I bring up the straw figures, everyone will be happy, every straw figure is full of arrows."

Gui Shanbing laughed happily, "We have harvested such sharp arrows, and I have the credit too! Haha..."

Su Yun also said with a smile: "How can General Gui like to compete with General Bai for credit?"

Gui Shanbing said: "Because the straw man I made is so real that the enemy can't tell the difference. Haha..."

The first victory, everyone was very happy, the hall was full of laughter...

Ying Luotou turned to Su Yun and said: "Tomorrow, the archers must pay attention to the movements of the Xu National Army outside Shouchun City, and their spies must not be allowed to approach. Once they approach, we will be exposed."

Su Yun nodded, "Marshal, please don't worry, we will never let the spies from Xu Kingdom approach."

……

"Why didn't your majesty order the siege?" '

Ling Dulen was puzzled, he was just about to go to bed...

The voice of the patrolling soldier sounded, "General...General..."

Ling Du Leng walked out of the tent, saw the patrolling soldiers standing outside the tent in a panic, and asked, "What's the matter in such a hurry?"

The patrol reported: "General, the South Vietnamese army is sneaking down the city wall again, preparing to attack us."

"Give me an order to order General Tian to lead the archers to shoot and kill the South Vietnamese army."

……

Tian Shangcheng ordered the archers: "These rebels who are not afraid of death, shoot them to death with random arrows."

In an instant, arrows were fired in disorder, and sharp arrows shot towards the South Vietnamese army in black;

There were bursts of screams from the South Vietnamese Army in Shouchunyi.

Tian Shangcheng shouted fiercely: "Shoot them hard for me."

In fact, it was the straw man that Xu Guojun shot, and the screams came from the soldiers on the city wall. The night was dark and the wind was high, so it was naturally difficult for Xu Guojun to distinguish.

……

Yang Shaogong hurried into the side hall, he saw Liu Haoyi sitting in a chair, walked forward and saluted.

Liu Haoyi waited for Yang Shaogong to finish his salute, and asked, "Master Yang, is there something you need to see urgently?"

"My lord, I have something to report to my lord."

"Haha... tell me? What made Mr. Yang so anxious?"

Yang Shaogong's expression was very serious: "Your Majesty, it's about the fate of the country, can I not be in a hurry?"

"Master Yang, please tell me."

When Liu Haoyi heard that it was related to the fate of the country, his face suddenly became serious.

Yang Shaogong said: "Your Majesty, recently it has been rumored that winning your lord is just a matter of talking on paper, and there are a lot of rumors and rumors. I am impatient, so I rushed to report to the king."

"On paper?"

Liu Haoyi looked at Yang Shaogong with some doubts.

Yang Shaogong asked: "Yes, we haven't seen Mr. Ying fight in actual combat, Your Majesty, have we?"

Liu Haoyi nodded, "Well, that's true."

"From Mr. Ying's recent decisions, I feel that it is not unreasonable to talk about Mr. Win outside. If this is true, then Mr. Ying is wronging the country. Your Majesty, look, he When the envoys Tan, Xing and Ning were lobbying for an alliance, they seemed confident, but did Dan, Xing and Ning join us? No. When Xu’s army besieged us, Dan, Xing and Ning sent troops Is it? No. The failure to do these things shows that he is just talking about the art of war."

Yang Shaogong looked at the silent Liu Haoyi and continued asking and answering several questions:

"With the current strength of our Nanyue Kingdom, it is enough to compete with the Xu Kingdom's army. However, when Ling Duleng led troops to invade our borders, the Xu Kingdom's army was exhausted after a long journey. And the good opportunity to attack them can kill Xu country's army by surprise, but did Master Ying do it? No, but let the enemy recharge their batteries and lose a best opportunity to win."

Liu Haoyi's heart began to waver after hearing this, "Master Yang is also a veteran on the battlefield who is proficient in the art of war. What you said is not unreasonable, but maybe he has his own plan to win the Lord."

"Now, the two armies are facing each other, but Xu Guo's army has not attacked for a long time. I heard that Xu Guo's army is waiting for support from the rear, but Mr. Ying has no way to deal with it. I'm afraid that when Xu Guo's backup arrives, Shouchun City will be in jeopardy what."

The more Yang Shaogong talked, the more excited he became.

Liu Haoyi looked at Yang Shaogong and asked, "Well, what does Master Yang think?"

Yang Shaogong said: "A soldier's speed is the most important thing in a soldier's attack, so attack him unprepared."

"Soldiers are expensive, and they are unprepared. Well, good."

Liu Haoyi nodded.

……

On the wall of Shouchun city, there were people's shadows swarming for a while, and suddenly the people's shadows became sparse.

The inspectors of Xu Country took a closer look, and in the darkness of night, figures were crawling down the city wall again.

"General, the South Vietnamese army is about to attack again."

The inspector hurriedly ran outside Ling Duleng's tent and screamed.

Ling Duleng continued to order Tian Shangcheng to lead the archers to continue shooting.

He thought for a while, hurried to the command camp, and asked the guards to call Wu Sanpao and Lu Liangwu over.

Ling Du looked at Lu Liangwu and Wu Sanpao coldly and asked, "You two generals, the South Vietnamese army has been going down to the city in the middle of the night these days. What do you two generals think about this?"

Wu Sanpao said: "The South Vietnamese army has been trying to sneak attacks at night for the past few days, but they dare not challenge them head-on during the day. The general thinks that they are afraid of our army's strength and will only do some sneaky things."

"General Lu, what do you think?"

Ling Du looked coldly at Lu Liangwu who was thinking.

Lu Liangwu pondered for a while and said: "The general thinks that things are not that simple. They must deliberately disturb our army's morale, so that we can't sleep well, and then attack our army when we are exhausted."

Ling Dulen said: "General Lu's analysis is reasonable. The scouts we sent to the battlefield to inspect the war these days were shot and killed by the enemy's bows and arrows before they arrived on the battlefield. One of them died. To spend a lot of time trying to protect the battlefield shows that there must be some secrets on the battlefield."

Lu Liangwu said: "The general is also skeptical. The enemy troops who attacked the city didn't run far away, they were just at the foot of the city. According to the general's observation, the bodies shot by the arrows were cleaned up the next day."

"It was cleaned up the next day?" Ling Du coldly showed a puzzled expression.

Lu Liangwu nodded and replied, "Yes. It's hard to see clearly because of the distance."

Ling Dulen thought for a while and said to himself: "Well, this shows that there is something wrong with those corpses. How do they clean up those corpses? Why are they afraid that our patrols will approach them? They have to go out of the city to clean up the corpses, and they didn't listen to the patrols. Did you say that the enemy troops have left the city?"

"Come on, let's go and have a look outside the camp." Ling Dulen stood up.

……

Ling Duleng, Lu Liangwu, and Wu Sanpao arrived outside the camp.

Seeing them, Tian Shangcheng hurried up to greet them: "General, why are you here?"

Ling Duleng asked Tian Shangcheng: "How is the enemy army?"

Lu Liangwu replied: "They were shot back by our archers, and most of them were hung back to the wall."

Ling Duleng asked in surprise, "Hang it back to the wall?"

"Yes, they were hung down by ropes, and the casualties of the enemy were all hoisted back."

Ling Duleng walked forward, squinting his eyes to look at the city wall of Shouchun from a distance. In the darkness, he vaguely saw the corpses of the enemy soldiers being hung up on the city wall by the ropes that were originally tied.

Ling Duleng suddenly shouted: "Oh, we were fooled."

Tian Shangcheng, Lu Liangwu, and Wu Sanpao were taken aback, and asked in unison: "General, what's the matter?"

"Look carefully. The enemy soldiers they hang up are all motionless. Are they all dead and no injured? If they are wounded, they will struggle with pain when they hang up. These enemy soldiers can't struggle, and they hang up The dead bodies are all light and have no sense of weight, think about it, what is the reason for this?" Ling Duleng pointed to the enemy soldiers who were hung on the wall of Shouchunyi and asked several questions in succession.

Tian Shangcheng, Lu Liangwu, and Wu Sanpao observed carefully for a while, and what they observed was exactly the same as what Ling Dulen said.

"Are those straw men?"

Lu Liangwu was thoughtful.

"Yes, it's the straw man." Ling Duleng said with certainty.

"Yes, the general is right. Those soldiers are not real people at all, but straw people."

Tian Shangcheng nodded like a rattle.

Ling Du said bitterly, "Retreat."

Wu Sanpao muttered: "It's too dark to win Luo. We couldn't sleep well for a few days with those straw men. Fortunately, the marshal discovered it in time."

Ling Du Leng said dejectedly: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, we are too careless, we should have discovered these problems a long time ago."
