Chapter 702 Gaoju Li's Trick
Ai Lang was anxious, and Cao Pi was not much better. Cao Pi was paced back and forth in the tent, looking very anxious. Sima Yi looked leisurely and smiled and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry! Our army is now invincible! No matter what choice the enemy makes, the final victory belongs to us!"
Cao Pi shook his head and frowned, "After that being said, I can't feel at ease! I just hope that this battle can end soon!" Then he asked, "Is there no news from Donglai yet?" Sima Yi shook his head and said, "The main force of Lu Bu army is separated from Donglai, and the news is not so easy to spread. According to time estimates, the Goguli people should have seized Donglai. Now is the critical moment. The main force of Lu Bu army in front of us may abandon the city and retreat at any time. Our army should be prepared to attack at any time!"
Cao Pi nodded and returned to his throne to sit down. He looked at the report on the desk absent-mindedly.
At this moment, an officer quickly stepped in and presented a roll of bamboo slips, saying, "Report to the Prime Minister, Jizhou has forwarded the emergency military information!" Cao Pi couldn't help but worry when he heard this. Sima Yi quickly stepped forward, took the bamboo slips, and was about to submit them to Cao Pi. However, Cao Pi said, "You see it first."
Sima Yi responded to the promise, untied the knot, unfolded the bamboo slips and looked at it. A hurriedly said to Cao Pi: "Prime Minister, good news! The gentry groups in various places were moved under Lu Bu's rule!" Cao Pi was overjoyed and slapped the table and shouted: "Great! These people finally did not disappoint me!" Then he asked hopefully: "What are their results?" Sima Yi said: "This report only says that they have started to act. As for the report of the results, I believe it will be reported in the near future." Cao Pi was a little disappointed, and then said: "When this war is over, I will reward those who have made great contributions!" Sima Yi clasped his fists and said: "Prime Minister is wise!"
The Goguli people gathered troops at the city of Donglai, rested for one night, and launched a fierce attack on Donglai again early the next morning. This time, the Goguli people used a large number of siege equipment that they had driven out last night, and divided into three teams to attack Donglai from three directions in the east and north directions. The three were missing and one was a classic siege strategy. The battle started early in the morning and lasted until noon. The Goguli people were unable to break through the city defense, but the attacking spirit was inevitably damaged. At this moment, Taishi Ci suddenly gathered a thousand elite troops out of the north gate to counter the Goguli people. Although the Goguli people were prepared, they could not defeat the Qin army like tigers coming out of the cage, and the entire army was impulsive. At this moment, Taishi Ci was even more unyielding and rushed into the Goguli central army formation like lightning.
The Goguli people were caught off guard against chaos. Taishi Ci drove straight into the realm of no one, and in a blink of an eye he rushed to Tie Yongnan. Tie Yongnan was frightened and furious, and quickly raised his spear and stabbed Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci waved his horse spear and gently pushed the spear away, then pushed the horse spear forward with his right hand! Tie Yongnan saw that the opponent's horse spear was instantly stabbed in front of him, so he hurriedly dodged, but he could not completely dodge. He was shocked and was stabbed by the opponent's horse spear! Tie Yongnan was shocked and quickly turned his head to escape. Taishi Ci urged the horse to chase him and kept shouting: "Don't escape! Come on!" Seeing this scene, the Goguli soldiers around him panicked and became in a mess. Taishi Ci chased Tie Yongnan among thousands of troops, and it was as if he had entered a no one.
The central army was in chaos, and the troops siege on three sides could not withstand the commotion. The Qin army guarding the city took this opportunity to open the city to counterattack and attack the Goguli people outside the city. Everyone rushed forward with one ten directions, killing the Goguli people's corpses and blood were flying backwards. Not long after, the Goguli people could not resist and fled! The Qin army chased for a while, then stopped chasing and quickly withdrew their troops back into the city. After all, their troops were very limited, and they could not greedy for merit and make the city lose any mistakes.
Tie Yongnan led his army to retreat into the camp, and he felt very annoyed and depressed. However, facing the powerful combat power of the Qin army and facing such a strong city, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a Han man suddenly said, "General, the villain has a plan to break through the city." This man was named Defang, and he had previously defected to a Confucian scholar in Goguli. Because he was quite wise, he was promoted to a military advisor by Goguli and asked him to follow Tie Yongnan to give advice.
Seeing him saying this, Tie Yongnan couldn't help but ask, "What's the clever plan for the military advisor?" Defang said, "After these two days of war, the villain saw that although these Qin troops were brave, their strength was obviously very limited. Therefore, as long as we find a way to attract them, our army can annihilate them in one fell swoop and seize Donglai..." Tie Yongnan frowned and said angrily: "Who doesn't know this? But this can't be done at all! They are not fools!"
Defang smiled and said, "General, the villain received a report from our scout not long ago. The people in many places near Donglai have not evacuated. The Qin army has always claimed that it is a mighty army that can protect their people. Well, we will attack the surrounding counties and towns and slaughter their people. I don't believe they will not go out of the city to rescue them."
Tie Yongnan's eyes lit up and said, "Good plan. Once such news comes into Donglai City, Taishi Ci will definitely send troops to rescue them. We will ambush them halfway. That's it!" Defang hurriedly said, "There is Qingshui County 50 miles east of Donglai. Most of the officials and civilians in the city have not yet evacuated. The general can send 5,000 troops to attack Qingshui County. The general will lead the army to ambush between the two places. Just wait for the Qin army to appear and kill them in one fell swoop. In this way, Donglai will be at your fingertips!" Tie Yongnan nodded deeply and shouted at the thin and sinister general under his command: "Mulun, you will immediately lead the five thousand troops back to raid Qingshui County." Mulun agreed loudly and ran down.
Taishici was discussing the current situation with Zhao Bang. The two looked relaxed and chatted and laughed from time to time. They were full of confidence in defending Donglai County.
At this moment, an officer suddenly led a blood-stained people into the hall and said anxiously: "General, no, the Goguli people attacked Qingshui County!" The two were stunned. The blood-stained people knelt down on the ground and shouted sadly: "General, save us quickly! Goguli people and Goguli people suddenly came to attack our Qingshui County. Those people who had not yet evacuated outside the city were brutally killed by them! The old man was tied to stones and threw them into the river. The children were pierced on the spear by them. The women were insulted by them and then killed by them. It was extremely miserable!"
After hearing what he said, Taishi Ci only felt his head explode, and his anger erupted, scolding, "Beast!" Zhao Bang asked quickly, "What's wrong with Qingshui County? Has it been broken by them?" The people said, "The county magistrate led the people to fight to the death, and the city has not yet been lost! However, I'm afraid it won't last long!" Then he asked Taishi Ci, "Please send troops to rescue Qingshui quickly!"
Taishici said: "Don't worry! I will lead the army to rescue Qingshui immediately!" Then he said to a personal soldier: "Take this guy down to take care of him!" The personal soldier responded and took the people who came to report the news.
Zhao Bang couldn't help asking, "General really wants to rescue Qingshui?" Taishi Ci said decisively: "As a soldier, I have no choice!" Zhao Bang hurriedly: "This is very likely a trick of the enemy! Besides, Dong Lairuo lost the general's protection, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Taishici said: "Don't worry! I will only bring a hundred personal soldiers to rescue Qingshui! You just need to keep the city and guard it without me!" "General..." Taishici waved his hand and said: "I have decided, don't say it anymore!" Then he quickly walked to the back of the desk and sat down, picked up the pen and wrote a wooden slip. He put down the brush and checked it. Then he stood up with the wooden slip and walked to Zhao Bang, reminding him: "Immediately send someone who is capable out of the city and rush to Qinghe to hand it over to the magistrate of Qinghe County, and ask him to follow the plan!"
Zhao Bang read the content of the wooden slip, looked shocked and said, "Is this..." Taishi Ci said, "Go quickly!" Zhao Bang couldn't do so, so he had to respond and run down.
Tie Yongnan was leading his army to ambush between Donglai and Qingshui. Seeing that it was getting late, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.
Tie Yongnan turned his head and saw a scout from his side running towards him. Defang, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say, "I guess there is something going on in Donglai." Tie Yongnan nodded with a look of hope.
Not long after, the scout rode his horse to Tie Yongnan, held the horse down, clasped his fists and said, "General, Taishi Ci is out of the city!" Tie Yongnan and others were overjoyed, and Defang smiled proudly and said, "He has fallen into my plan!" Then he asked, "How many soldiers and horses Taishi Ci brought?" Although Defang asked this, he had already determined that Taishi Ci had come out in full swing. The scout said, "Taishi Ci only brought one hundred cavalry!"
When everyone heard this, they thought they had heard it wrong and looked stunned. Defang hurriedly asked, "What did you say? There were only one hundred people?" "Yes. There were only about one hundred cavalry."
Tie Yongnan and others looked at each other, looking at him at a loss. They originally thought that the other party would definitely go out to rescue Qingshui County, but they didn't expect that the other party would have a hundred cavalry? What's going on? Tie Yongnan looked at Defang and said angrily: "Military advisor, what's going on? This is completely different from what you expected!" Defang couldn't answer this question for a moment. Then they thought that no matter what, Taishi Ci had left the city, and suddenly had an idea, clasped his fists at Tie Yongnan and said: "General, I don't think the original plan needs to be changed!"
