Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 479: Cut off!

Listening to Xu You's bewitching words, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel moved.

If he only repelled Sun Ce, he would have lost more than 10,000 troops.

After all the merits and demerits offset each other, in fact, I can't get any credit.

But if they could snatch Sun Ce's body, or chase the enemy and capture some baggage or prisoners.

That would be a much greater achievement than doing nothing.

But the only thing to note is that once you attack, there will be risks.

If sending out troops fails to pay off, that would be a real loss!
So Yang Feng quickly calmed down and shook his head at Xu You:

“It is not certain yet whether this is a strategy of the enemy to lure the enemy.

"If Sun Ce is really dead, they shouldn't make it public.

"Now there is a funeral, and prisoners have escaped. It seems like they are deliberately luring the enemy..."

Seeing Yang Feng being so cautious, Xu You nodded in agreement:
"General, your concerns are indeed true. In this case, let's observe and watch.

"It won't be too late to send troops once we are sure of victory."

These words hit Yang Feng's heart, and he nodded with a smile:
"Thank you for making this special trip. After breakfast, I will go to the tower to monitor it myself."

Xu You bowed and said goodbye at the right time:
"Then I will not disturb you, General. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Xu You turned and left.

But when he stepped out of the prefect's mansion, a sharp light flashed in his narrow eyes...

the other side.

Zhou Yu quietly observed the movements of the enemy troops in Xiabian City through the gap in the gate.

However, they found that the enemy general was wandering back and forth on the city wall leisurely, with no intention of attacking them at all.

Such cautious behavior also made Zhou Yu anxious.

He returned to the central military tent and told Sun Ce, who was lying on the wooden board pretending to be dead, about the situation.

Sun Ce, with a sallow face, slowly opened his eyes.

He heard the anxiety in his good brother's words and said with a smile:

"Gongjin, don't be impatient. Even if the enemy fails to fall into our trap, we can regroup and continue to attack the city.

"Although our army's food supply route has been destroyed, the food in the camp can last for more than half a month. We still have plenty of time."

After hearing Sun Ce's comfort, Zhou Yu immediately calmed down a bit.

He hammered Sun Ce's pectoralis major and gradually relaxed:

"Bofu is right. Only when people calm down can their thinking become more active.

“The reason why Yang Feng was unwilling to leave the city was obviously because the bait was not enough.

"In that case, let's put some more bait in front of him!"

Seeing Zhou Yu revealing a familiar and confident smile, Sun Ce curled the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes again, and continued to pretend to be dead.

It's rare to lie down and do nothing, it's pretty good...

Seeing that Sun Ce stopped talking, Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, then walked out of the tent and summoned Li Dian and Le Jin:

"Generals, you two will lead 5,000 soldiers and leave the camp with great fanfare, and then camp near Wanxiang Cave."

The Wanxiang Cave is very hidden, and only local people know about it.

That's why they didn't find such an ambush site when they built the grain station.

Now that the grain station was destroyed, Cao Chun and his team conducted a thorough investigation and discovered the location of Wanxiang Cave.

Upon receiving the order, Li Dian and Le Jin immediately led 5,000 infantry and cavalry and left the camp with great fanfare.

Yang Feng, who was on the city wall, saw this army leaving and immediately calculated the remaining troops in the enemy camp.

At first, there were 50,000 people, of which Cao Chun and Cao Ang led 5,000 cavalry to patrol the grain road, and they have not returned yet. In addition to the enemy's capture of Guo Tai's soldiers and their own losses, even if the enemy is still 5,000 people.

As for the camp, with the group of people just leaving, there should be 40,000 people left.

However, in the previous siege, the enemy lost nearly 4,000 people, so there should be 36,000 people left in the camp now.

There were 35,000 people in his city at the beginning. After Guo Tai sent away 10,000 people, Zhang Long and Zhang Bao also lost nearly 1,000 people.

There are now 24,000 people left in the city.

Twenty-four thousand versus thirty-six thousand, although the gap is not that big.

But for Yang Feng, it is still a gap that he cannot take the risk of!

What Yang Feng didn't expect was that after noon, another enemy general took away five thousand people.

By evening, another 5,000 people evacuated the camp.

In other words, there are only 26,000 people left in the enemy camp...

Watching Zhou Yu leading the army to retreat one step at a time, Yang Feng felt more and more that something must have really happened to Sun Ce.

Otherwise, even if the food supply was cut off, Sun Ce might not try to storm the city.

The current wave of withdrawals looks like Sun Ce is really dead, and they are afraid that his body will stink...

But even so, the enemy's forces in the camp were still greater than those in their own city.

Even if he went out of the city to pursue, he would have to leave at least 4,000 men in the city, and could only send out 20,000 men.

Although he is very excited now, he knows very well that now is not the best time to send troops!
Soon, the sky gradually darkened.

There was even the first drizzle of autumn.

Not long after it started raining, Zhou Yu seemed to be worried that the rain would get heavier and it would be more difficult to travel, so he ordered 10,000 people to protect a coffin and start evacuating.

Yang Feng on the city wall saw it all clearly.

Seeing the enemy troops starting to evacuate by pushing the coffin, he suddenly became anxious.

After a moment, he finally couldn't suppress his inner impulse, and immediately ordered Zhang Bao and Zhang Long to defend the city, intending to personally lead an army of 20,000 to pursue.

At this moment, Feng Ji suddenly stepped forward and advised:

"General, we must not pursue them! If the enemy sets up an ambush, I'm afraid our army will suffer heavy losses!"

If it was Xu You who advised him, Yang Feng would definitely consider it carefully.

However, these words came from Feng Ji's mouth. In Yang Feng's opinion, the other party seemed to be deliberately stopping him from chasing after Sun Ce's corpse.

This made him feel more and more that Feng Ji was colluding with the enemy!

Yang Feng glared at the other party and said:
"This general wants to accomplish great deeds, but you are here to stop me. Do you have ulterior motives?!"

The more the other party persuaded him, the more he wanted to send troops!
Seeing that the other party was determined to go, Feng Ji could only sigh heavily.

However, looking at Yang Feng's gradually receding back, Feng Ji's mouth corners suddenly curled up slightly.

Xu You, who was standing by, saw all of this, and a hint of mockery also appeared in his eyes.

As the South Gate suddenly opened, Yang Feng personally led 20,000 troops out of the city and rushed towards Zhou Yu's camp!
Zhang Bao and Zhang Long led 4,000 men to guard the city.

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the noise coming from the direction of Xiabian City.

Finally, the enemy was lured out!

As long as they dare to come out, they can never go back!

Of course, the show has to go on for now.

Zhou Yu immediately mounted his horse and personally led an army of 10,000 to escort the coffin away.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were left to lead the remaining 16,000 men to cover the rear...
