Chapter 219: Soldiers never tire of deceit

Wang Tiezhu followed Cui's defeated troops all the way and found that Cui's army had gathered tens of thousands of people to build a position, so he led his troops back to the camp.

Wang Tiezhu returned to the camp, summoned the generals of each camp, and told the whole story he saw.

"I, Wang Tiezhu, do not deceive my brothers. Only by defeating the enemy head-on in the next battle can we return to Luoyang!"

Most of the soldiers in the Wei army had their families in Luoyang, so it was impossible to retreat. If you could not fight back to Luoyang, your family would probably become the ghosts under the sword of others.

"Marson Wang, what's there to say? Just hit it back!"

"Yes, Marshal Wang, no matter how many enemies there are, we are not afraid, just kill them!"

"Our wife, children, and children are still in Luoyang. If we don't kill each other, where can we go?"

"Kill back to Luoyang! Kill back to Luoyang!"

The sound of killing was shocked by the sound of the crows near the Wei army camp were all shocked and turned westward in a dark circle.

Wang Tiezhu originally wanted to take advantage of the high morale and kill him, but military advisor Tang Sixin disagreed.

"Marson Wang personally inquired, and knew that Cui Jun had dug a long trench and set up a trap, and there were many fences for the horses. We rushed forward and attacked the brothers. Many brothers would be killed and injured! I don't agree to the strong attack!"

Everyone was stunned. This military advisor Tang didn't speak easily, but if he spoke, Marshal Wang would always listen, so he looked at Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu asked Tang Sixin again, "Why does the military advisor have a good idea? It's too late to detour now!"

Tang Sixin touched his beard and said, "Wait! Wait for seven days, there will be heavy rain. Our army occupied the high ground not far from Cui's army in these seven days. Dig more trenches and lead the water to Cui's camp!"

"If it doesn't rain after seven days, or the rain doesn't rain heavily, wouldn't we be tired for seven days in vain?" Wang Tiezhu felt that staying for one more day would be a little more dangerous, let alone seven days.

"Listen to me, I said that if there is rain, there will be rain. If it doesn't rain, I will pay my head to sacrifice to God and apologize! Tell all the soldiers and tell the people around me that there will be heavy rain in seven days, so that they can move to the nearby hillside!"

Although Wang Tiezhu was reluctant, Tang Sixin bet on his life, which shows that he was sure.

The Wei army walked westward to a high ground twenty miles away from Cui army to dig soil. According to Tang Sixin's instructions, not only did they need to dig ditches, but they also had to raise the camp to make rain gear and rafts.

After hearing that it would rain heavily in seven days, the surrounding villages all went to the mountains to set up straw huts to avoid it. For a while, it was very lively to lead pigs, sheep, carry rice and firewood. The Wei army took this opportunity to buy some grain and rice supplies. It was said from the villages that, for a time, the people within a radius of hundreds of miles began to avoid it on the hillside.

Huang Chongdao saw the people hiding on the mountain in the army, and hurriedly sent people to inquire. After exploring, he learned that the people went up the mountain because they wanted to avoid heavy rain and mountain torrents.

Huang Chongdao looked at the sky, "No, there will be no rain within ten days, how could it rain?"

The generals in Cui Jun camp also talked about it, saying that it would rain, and some said that it would not rain, so there was no consensus.

After asking more than ten spies, Yu Yaoshan decided to take people to the Wei army camp to inquire.

After exploring, we found that Wei Jun had indeed gone up the mountain. Not only did he go up the mountain, but he also made a lot of rafts outside the camp.

After returning to the camp, Yu Yaoshan decided to immediately send troops to attack the Wei army camp to seize the highlands and rafts, but Huang Chongdao believed that this was the Wei army's mysterious behavior.

"I have watched the star constellation for several days at night, but I haven't seen any signs of rain. Why did General Yu give up our original blocking plan because of the enemy's actions?"

"Mr. Huang, do you dare to guarantee that there will be no rain in a few days? If you are by Wei Jun then

Let’s flood the Seven Army. Do you want us to stay here to feed the fish?”

While Huang Chongdao was hesitating, Yu Yaoshan spoke again, "Mr. Huang, if you can guarantee that it will not rain within these seven days, we will listen to you to continue to stick to it! If you can't guarantee it, I'll take the high ground first to save my life!"

"But the Wei army is condescending, and if we attack, we will suffer heavy casualties! Besides, Wang Tiezhu is here, we may not be able to defeat the Wei army guarding the mountain!" Huang Chongdao advised him hard.

"But I can't feed the lives of these tens of thousands of soldiers to fish. I'm still 50% sure to attack the highlands. I'm afraid that if the Wei army wants to kill us, we don't need to do it myself!" Yu Yaoshan insisted on leading the army to capture the highlands.

"If General Yu insists on conquering the high ground, then please take charge of the camp. I will seize it with my soldiers! As the main general, if you have any mistakes, we will have no hope!" Huang Chongdao's deployment was very conservative, in order not to let Yu Yaoshan be killed by Wang Tiezhu, causing the army to collapse.

But Yu Yaoshan felt that Huang Chongdao was going to compete with him for merit. "Didn't the military advisor Huang say there was no rain? With the military advisor Huang in charge of the camp, we can only feel at ease when we fight outside! The military advisor is relieved, I, Yu, have a self-knowledge, I am not the opponent of Wang Tiezhu, I am not so stupid as to fight with him!"

Seeing that it was useless to advise, Huang Chongdao sighed to the sky, "God bless you!"

Yu Yaoshan ordered 10,000 horse and infantry troops and brought sixteen generals to attack the Wei army camp. Li Yuan took the initiative to ask for the battle, but Yu Yaoshan felt that this person was unlucky to be defeated repeatedly, so he sent Li Yuan and Huang Chongdao to guard the camp together.

Yu Yaoshan brought tens of thousands of people to besiege the Wei army camp. Wang Tiezhu was about to slam the horse and rushed down the mountain to fight. Tang Sixin grabbed him, "The Marshal is only allowed to lose but not win. He killed several of the lieutenant generals and then ran away. We don't want this high ground anymore!"

"Without the high ground, how can we survive when the flood comes?"

"If there is no big flood, don't worry about it. What I want is to lure the enemy out. Now that the enemy is out, it is our good opportunity. Those who shoot archers must first pull the bowstring back and then shoot it out!"

"But the high ground is lost, and it will rain one day!"

"Tell me the truth to Marshal Wang, there is no rain at all. I am here to mobilize the enemy! Marshal Wang pretended to be defeated and brought the enemy to this high ground. We will surround the high ground and attract the enemy reinforcements! The brothers are tired of carrying water from the bottom of the mountain these days, so it's time to take a break!"

"I even hide this plan from the military advisor! Okay, let me listen to the military advisor! Wang goes to meet them!"

Wang Tiezhu brought three hundred men down the mountain to fight, wielding his double hammers to rush straight to the enemy formation.

Although everyone did not know Wang Tiezhu, they recognized the pair of copper hammers. Yu Yaoshan saw Wang Tiezhu rushing over in the formation, and quickly mobilized three hundred swords and shield hands and five hundred cavalry to fight, and the other bows and crossbows were launched at the same time to block Wang Tiezhu.

However, Wang Tiezhu did not charge towards the place where Yu Yaoshan was, but headed towards the right wing.

Wherever the copper hammer passed, people were wailing, and the people who were hit only regretted that their parents gave them fewer legs, and the rest avoided Wang Tiezhu.

The five generals were all beaten off the horse in just one round, and for a moment, Cui Jun’s right wing was in chaos.

In order to prevent Wang Tiezhu from raiding, the central army continued to maintain its defensive formation and drove up the mountain. Wang Tiezhu was invincible, but the Wei army took the opportunity to retreat. Many Wei soldiers rushed down the mountain and fled.

Although Wang Tiezhu disrupted the formation of Cui Jun on the right wing, he had few people after all, so he dared not fight, so he had to turn around and attack Cui Jun's left wing.

At this time, Yu Yaoshan's central army had already taken down the Wei army camp in the highlands. Seeing that the Wei army was only left with Wang Tiezhu and a cavalry were still continuing to attack the left wing of Cui's army, he waved the flag to surround Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu's original intention was to complete the fraudulent defeat that Tang Sixin said, and he was counting on fighting Yu Yaoshan, but after fighting for an hour, he found that Yu Yaoshan had no intention of going down the mountain to fight to the decisive battle, so he had to lead the cavalry to the east and kill him.

Under the leadership of Tang Sixin, the Wei army retreated for only five miles and continued to assemble. After Wang Tiezhu arrived, he complained that Tang Sixin's plan was not effective.

Tang Sixin laughed loudly, "Okay, it seems that Marshal Wang's power has really been made! It would be a good thing for the enemy general to dare not go down the mountain. If he goes down the mountain, he will escape back to the original formation, this matter will be difficult to do! The entire army will not stop and quickly return to the surrounding mountain. When surrounding the mountain, the two bridges in the east and north were destroyed. The crossbow camp and the long spear camp were all ambushed at the water source, waiting for the enemy troops on the mountain to die!"

After capturing the high ground in one battle and repelling Wang Tiezhu, Yu Yaoshan himself couldn't believe it. After checking the Wei army camp, Yu Yaoshan immediately realized something.

There was no water source on the mountain! Thinking of this, Yu Yaoshan hurriedly sent people down the mountain to occupy the water source.

Deputy General Yu Ping smiled, "Brother, I have sent 500 people to stay in Shuiyuan, so don't worry, the Wei army has retreated. If the eldest brother is worried, I will send another 500 people down the mountain!"

"No, hurry up, send another 2,000 people down the mountain! Keep the water source and send scouts to investigate the news about the Wei army!"

"Report, General Yu, the water tanks and buckets in the camp are full!"

"Try the poison! Explore it again!"

When he heard that there was still water, Yu Ping and the others laughed, "It will rain tomorrow. There is only a lot of water. Don't worry about the source of water. I'm worried that the brothers in the camp will be flooded!"

Yu Yaoshan looked up at the sky, then looked around at the straw sheds and wooden sheds on the distant mountain, and hesitated a little.

"Send five hundred more people to get some water first. If it rains tomorrow, you don't have to guard it anymore!"

When the five hundred people rushed down the mountain, the Wei army had already rushed over. Cui army could not resist it and retreated back to the mountain one after another.

Some generals were worried that the Wei army would come to seize the water source and besiege them. Yu Yaoshan pointed to several large tanks in the camp. "They are afraid that they are reluctant to leave these tanks, but they are afraid of feeding fish at the foot of the mountain! Even if the water source is lost, the water on the mountain can be managed for three or five days, maybe! Besides, it will rain tomorrow!"

After the Wei army surrounded the mountain, they swept up the mountain in circles and looked like they wanted to seize the highland. Yu Yao Mountain's army fired arrows and threw stones at the foot of the mountain, and the Wei army retreated for a while.

At the same time, Cui Ju from Xiangyang City learned a shocking news that almost made him fall to the ground.

"Yu Zhang fell?" Cui Ju couldn't believe what he heard

"Yuzhang is lost? It's impossible! The Wei army is now unable to take care of itself. Jiangnan is restrained by the South China Navy, and the rest are all rescued Luoyang! Do you know that lying about military information is a death sentence?"

Cui Ju asked again

The answer of the sergeant kneeling on the ground made Cui Ju sit down. Yu Zhang was not captured by the Wei army, but by the South China Sea army.

Cui Ju rubbed his temples, "South China Sea? The South China Sea actually came west! So, the Jiangnan area has all fallen into the hands of the South China Sea?"

"Return to King Jin, the South China Sea Army returned the land of Jiangnan to the State of Wei, and the State of Wei lends them to attack us!"

"Well, how do you know all this?" Cui Ju felt that such a low-level officer could not know this, so he became even more suspicious.

"The villain dares not deceive King Jin. These are all said when the South China Navy who came to attack Yuzhang were in a row. The Wei army in Danyang appeared with them!"

Cui Ju slapped the table and said, "Shameless! Shameless! This Li Xiaofei actually colluded with Wei State and betrayed Daliang! Come on, come and pass on the orders of Shen De, Ke Yuan, and Ke Wen!"
