Chapter 1745: Retreat without a Fight

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [Luoqiu Chinese] The fastest update! No ads!

Shen An is waiting.

But Yeluxiu was a little hesitant.

Just like the empty city strategy, Zhuge Liang was sitting on the top of the city playing the piano and having fun. Sima Yi led the army and came over. Upon seeing this, his first reaction was to attack.

But the city gate opened immediately, and an old man was sweeping below.

Tsk tsk!

Suspicious people will always overthink things like this.

What is Brother Zhu doing?

Sima Yi felt that this was a pit, a big pit that Zhuge Liang had dug for himself.

He hesitated and asked people to go and test it. Then the colorful flags were flying on the city head and the gongs and drums were loud...

Damn it!

It's a scam!

Brother Zhu has set a trap, run away!

So he ran away in a flash.

Regardless of whether the empty city plan is true or false, it is mostly false. But for the paranoid, this situation is truly embarrassing.

Fight or not?

If you fight, you may fall into a trap.

But if you don't fight, you might get angry and vomit blood.

What to do?

In Yelvxiu's mind, heaven and man were at war.

"Ms. sir, attack!"

"We can't attack. Once we are entangled by the Song Army's infantry, and then the Song Army's cavalry comes to intercept and kill us, we will be defeated in an instant!"

"Ms. sir!"

Everyone looked at Yelvxiu.

Yelvxiu's expression changed.

Shen An smiled and said, "You don't dare?"

He raised his hands, "Forward!"

"Shen Longtu has an order, the entire army...move forward!"

The flag waved, all the troops responded to the flag, and then the 70,000 infantry began to advance.

The footsteps shook the ground, dust flew into the air, and the huge array was moving.

The attacking side always has the highest morale, but it is rare for the infantry to take the initiative to attack the cavalry.

The morale of the Song army was improving bit by bit, and their fighting spirit was awe-inspiring.

"Ms. sir!"

The Liao people are uneasy.

Yelvxiu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

He put down his hand, and the Liao general beside him said ecstatically: "Come in..."

"Retreat! Fanyang City has fallen, let's retreat to Youzhou!"

Yelu Xiu slapped the general next to him so hard that his eyes flashed with stars, and then he rode into the group.

"retreat!"

At the sound of the trumpet, the Liao army began to retreat.

"They retreated without a fight?"

Yang Du felt a little incredible.

"Thirty thousand cavalry, at least they have to charge for a while. Besides, Shen Longtu was in front just now. Don't the Liao people not want to take the risk of killing him?"

"The Liao people are scared!"

A sergeant said with a red face: "The Liao people are afraid of Shen Longtu!"

"Yes, the Liao people have never been treated favorably by Shen Longtu."

"Then what are we afraid of? Next time we encounter enemy troops, we will go up and kill them."

"Don't be afraid. I participated in the last Baozhou War. The Liao army did not take advantage and lost in the end."

"..."

"Look, our crossbowman!"

Those crossbowmen are in the middle. Once the order is given, they will use crossbow arrows to let the Liao army know what intensive killing is.

"Shen Longtu is planning to give the Liao people a hard blow! It's a pity that the Liao people didn't take the bait."

Everyone looked at Shen An in front and felt extremely relieved.

"Morale has gone up." Yang Du witnessed Shen An's words and deeds in forcing the Liao army to retreat, and praised: "Shen Longtu took the risk and went forward, but the Liao people did not dare to take advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy. The morale of both sides waxed and waned. This is what Shen Longtu wanted." .”

Xuchang looked at the officers who looked more confident and said, "Supervisor, look at those officers!"

Yang Du looked at it carefully and said happily: "Shen Longtu said that this Northern Expedition is to find the soul of the Song Dynasty, and this is it. Confidence is our soul!"

The soldiers' steps were firm and their expressions of confidence made Wang Zhenchao couldn't help but praise: "Even if Yelu Hongji comes at this moment, the soldiers can stop him."

"Back to the city."

When Shen An rode back, Wang Zhenchao cupped his hands and said, "The dragon map is mighty!"

"The dragon map is mighty!"

The shouts of 70,000 people shocked the people in the city.

Groups of cavalry roamed the city, looking for remnants of the enemy, and shouldered the important task of protecting the warehouse.

The sound of horse hooves came in waves, and the people in the house were shivering.

"I've seen Shen Longtu!"

"Hard."

"The villain dare not!"

"How is it in the city?"

"All the remaining enemies have been destroyed, and our army is cleaning up everywhere."

"good."

The family in the house hid in the darkness, and the man of the house whispered: "It's Shen An who's here."

"Shen An...Jingguan Shen?" His wife was a little scared.

The two children were hiding behind them, but they seemed a little excited. A child who was just over two years old was being held by a woman and looking at the door blankly.

"It's him." The male host said: "In the past, the Song people would loot after breaking the city. If they come later... By the way, you go get the ash from the stove and put it on your face."

This is a way to avoid being picked on.

The woman handed the child in her arms to her husband and quietly went to the kitchen. When she came back, it looked dark.

"mother……"

When the child saw that his mother had changed, he couldn't help crying.

"Don't make a sound!"

The man of the house covered the child's mouth, and the woman rushed over and pulled his hand away, "Sanlang will be suffocated to death!"

"The Song Army outside will hear it!"

"If you hear it, hear it!" The woman held a kitchen knife in her hand, and her eyes reminded the man of something.

Wolf!

"Every household, listen..."

There is a sound outside.

"Whether they are Liao people or Han people, it is a good idea to stay at home. Shen Longtu of the Song Dynasty has led his troops here. All the people who surrender and the soldiers who put down their weapons are not allowed to plunder or harm!"

"true or false?"

"have no idea."

"I'm just afraid that my words won't count."

Shen An arrived at the government office all the way, and the first thing he did when he sat down was to arrange the opening of the shop.

"All shops are open for business, and we tell the people that one person from each family is allowed to come and buy something every day."

Someone went down to deliver the order, and Yang Du said, "Is this to appease the people?"

Shen An nodded, "This battle is not only about winning on the battlefield, but also about winning the hearts of the people in Youyan and other places."

Later the generals arrived.

"By taking Fanyang City, our army will have a foothold, and the subsequent baggage should also be transported. This is encroaching step by step."

Shen An was in a good mood. Seeing that all the generals were still unfinished, he smiled and said, "What's the matter? Not satisfied with killing?"

Wang Zhenchao said: "I thought I could fight with the 30,000 Liao troops today, but who knew they actually retreated, which is extremely disappointing!"

Shen An nodded, "How's the morale?"

"High!" Wang Zhenchao said proudly: "The brothers were howling on the way back, which reminded me of the little wolf cub I had seen."

He looked sideways at the general opposite and said: "Shen Longtu used infantry to intercept the enemy's cavalry. This is to refresh our infantry. By the time we reach Youzhou City, the army's morale will be high and we will be able to attack without defeat!"

"The cavalry is back!"

Several generals came in, led by Zhe Kexing.

"how?"

Shen An picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, feeling comfortable.

Zhe Kexing cupped his hands and said: "Xiaguan and others led the cavalry to detour from the flanks. The Liao army was very cautious. The cavalry kept a distance of two or three miles from us and could not engage in confrontation."

"But they have no morale!" Shen An laughed and said: "Yeluxiu seems to be a cautious and suspicious person. Such a person has good defense. This should be the main reason why Yelu Hongji asked him to come. Then our army attacked Youzhou, and the general If we fight him again, I hope he won’t be a coward!”

…

"fraud!"

Yelvxiu galloped all the way, "Then Shen An is a liar. Now that I think about it, he just hid the crossbow formation in the formation. Just waiting for our army to attack, the crossbow formation only needs one wave of crossbow arrows. Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows, but fear!"

The generals on the side nodded in agreement.

Thinking about it now, they are extremely scared. Once they are entangled by the Song army, they will really hate Fan Yangcheng today.

"Yugi is back."

The rangers quickly followed, and the general reported: "Ms. sir, the cavalry of the Song Army has been cruising around. If we went up before, they would pounce on us."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Yelvxiu looked up to the sky and smiled.

The generals were all praising him.

"Thankfully, your father-in-law has a keen eye and noticed Shen An's tricks today, otherwise we would have been fooled."

"That Shen An is cunning, who would think that my husband is even more... even more..."

"If Shen An's plan fails this time, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he vomits blood, hahahaha!"

"This must be the case. With your husband leading the Nanjing Road, we will definitely be able to repel the Song army!"

"..."

Amid the flattery, a dazed general said: "Didn't you notice? The morale of the Song Army is getting higher and higher, and ours..."

Everyone looked back and saw that the soldiers had different expressions, but most of them had solemn expressions.

This...isn't right!

"Is he trying to kill our morale?" the general said nonchalantly, "This is a war that will destroy the country, and the first thing is morale. Then Shen An knows how to use troops, will he use this to make the morale of both sides wax and wane? "

Someone said: "Xiao Mozhuo, can't you?"

The general shook his head and said, "No, otherwise why would he detour the cavalry?"

"The purpose of his cavalry's detour is to outflank us..."

The speaking general shut up.

"It's wide in all directions, and we are all cavalry. How can they outflank us?" Xiao Mozhuo said, "Ms., I think this is Shen An's way of sharpening the morale of the army!"

Yelu Xiu looked at him, nodded and said, "You have good knowledge."

He also thought about this, but refused to admit it for fear of affecting morale.

"Xiao Mozhuo is calm in this battle. I will go back to His Majesty Shu to ask for credit for him."

Yelvxiu's methods were not bad either. Just a few words cheered everyone up.

"Retreating without a fight!"

A voice floated over vaguely.

"That's Shen An."

"They're all afraid of him."

"Of course I'm afraid...we lost those few times."

"I'm afraid your husband is no match for him, right?"

"Thirty thousand cavalry... This has never happened before. Even Shen An ran to the front, but he still didn't dare to fight."

"..."

These voices continued to spread among the Liao army.

…

The early morning in Xiongzhou is chaotic.

There were large cars everywhere in the city, and the dirt roads were deeply rutted.

After Shen An left, Fu Bi fell into busyness.

His temper was gradually getting irritated.

"Who did it?"

He held a document and said, "Why aren't all the grains and grasses calculated? Do we still have to wait for me to come?"

A civil servant came forward and said, "Ms. sir, I made a mistake."

"Take it back and redo it!"

Fu Bi really wanted to hit someone, but seeing how silent everyone was, he endured it.

"Ms. sir!"

His son-in-law came.

Feng Jing came in and said, "Ms. sir, Shen An has landed in Xincheng."

Fu Bi's eyes were filled with joy, and then he pretended to be disdainful and said, "It's just a new city, a small city. Let's wait until he captures Fanyang City."

Feng Jing stepped forward and handed over the paperwork.

"It's written very simply, it's just crossbow arrow coverage."

Fu Bi raised his head and thought for a moment, "You have never been on the battlefield, so you don't know how shocking the scene is! The crossbow arrows flew past like a black cloud, and then a large blank space appeared in the middle of the enemy army."

"Let's do something."

He pointed to the side, where there was another pile of paperwork waiting to be processed.

Weng and son-in-law sat side by side, and the room was quiet.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Fu Bi rubbed his eyes and prepared for dinner.

He held a cup of hot tea and said to Feng Jing: "You have never experienced a battle, so take care of your luggage. When you have the opportunity in the future, you will naturally be able to experience it, so..."

He lowered his voice and said, "According to the wishes of the officials, if the future prime ministers are not proficient in martial arts, it will be difficult for them to enter the political hall."

Feng Jing came closer and said, "My father-in-law, this can't be done. Does the future Prime Minister have to go to the army for some training?"

Fu Bi looked at him, smiled and said, "You have to know something."

Feng Jing was shocked, "Is this to continuously improve the status of warriors?"

"You are very smart." Fu Bi said happily, "That's what it means."

Feng Jing sighed: "This matter..."

"Fanyang City is broken!"

There was a shout from outside, and Fu Bi stood up suddenly, swinging the tea cup in his hand, and splashed hot tea on Feng Jing's hand.

"oops!"

Fu Bi turned a deaf ear to his cries of pain and shouted, "Come in and talk."

The messenger was brought in and handed over the document, "Mr. Sir, our army captured Fan Yang in a battle. The enemy's 30,000 horsemen came to our aid. We will retreat without a fight!"

Fu Bi took the document and looked at it carefully.

"This battle went so smoothly. Shen An used his troops steadily, good!"

"Let people bring the prisoners back, and teach them how to build the road later, and then go back and build it all the way from Xiongzhou."

Feng Jing was recording on the side, and from time to time he looked at the back of his left hand, which seemed to have blisters. But that was my father-in-law, and he didn't dare to complain even if he had the guts to do so, so he could only endure it.

"Shen An intercepted the enemy's cavalry with 70,000 infantry. He stepped forward to lure him alone. The enemy did not dare to attack and actually withdrew, hahahaha!"

Fu Bi laughed and said, "Spread this good news throughout the army."

Someone went out, and Fu Bi said to Feng Jing: "Look, one person rushes forward, and the enemy does not dare to take action. This is my famous general of the Song Dynasty, hahahaha!"

Feng Jing was also a little surprised, "Is Shen An so bold?"

"This is extraordinary courage! The leader of the Liao army was the Southern Privy Envoy Yelvxiu." Fu Bi said proudly: "The Liao's Privy Envoy fled in front of Shen An without fighting, and the morale of our army was greatly boosted!"

"Wan Sheng!"

At this time, cheers came from outside.

Fu Bi said: "Get ready, I will rush to meet the army soon."

…

Goodnight everybody!
