In the afternoon, under the scorching sun, the Wei soldiers outside the city were already weak, and they were out of breath when they scolded people, and they kept pouring water with water bags, and their morale fell to the bottom.

Seeing this, Huangfu Yan, the defender on the city wall, immediately ran up to the city tower and hugged his fist to Li Fu, who was still playing chess, and said: "Fujun, you see that the Wei army outside the city has no morale and is listless. ”

Li Fu couldn't help but turn his head to look outside the city when he heard this, and found that the Wei army really lost morale, and even some people had fallen asleep on horseback.

Seeing this scene, Li Fu couldn't help but feel a little moved by Huangfu Yan to lead his troops to attack.

Huang Fuyan saw that Li Fu's expression was a little relaxed, and immediately said: "Mansion Jun, the soldiers have long held their breath in their hearts, if they attack at this time, they will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!" Besides, the soldiers have the desire to fight, and the government should not blindly suppress them, if it hits the enthusiasm of the soldiers, it will be difficult to raise the morale in the future! ”

Li Fu almost agreed to Huang Fuyan's request, and was about to say yes, but at the critical moment, he was worried that this might be a trick of the Wei army, so he groaned and said to Huang Fuyan: "Let the soldiers hold back today, if this Wei army is still like this tomorrow, this government will allow you to lead troops to attack!" ”

Huangfu Yan wanted to attack at this time, but seeing that Li Fu had already made concessions, if he insisted repeatedly, he would make Li Fu unhappy, so he had to agree: "Yes, thank you Fujun!" ”

In a wooded area a dozen miles south of Pinggang, Mulan and two thousand cavalry were lying in ambush here.

The weather was too hot, and the generals had already dismounted and fallen asleep under the tree, but Hua Mulan, the deputy general Fu Zhen and the military Sima Hu Ying couldn't sleep.

Hua Mulan sat on a dead tree that fell to the ground and played with the phoenix dagger given to her by Zhao Junsheng, but her expression was deep in thought.

Fuzhen came over with a horse and sat down and asked, "General, did you say that the Yan army in Pinggang City will be fooled?" ”

Hua Mulan retracted her thoughts, shook her head and said, "It's not good to say, I'm worried that Wu Dade will show his flaws and be discovered by the Yan army guards, if so, we will waste our efforts!" ”

Military Sima Hu Ying also came over and said: "General, if the Yan army is not fooled today, then ······ Will we continue to do this tomorrow, or will we find another way? ”

Hua Mulan thought for a while and said: "The time given to us by King Changshan is limited, and now six days have passed, if Yan Jun is not fooled today, we will wait another day tomorrow to see, if we are not fooled tomorrow, we will think of another way!" ”

At dusk, there was still no movement on Wu Dade's side, and Mulan knew that Wu Dade had not succeeded.

When it was almost dark, Wu Dade sent someone to report the situation to Mulan.

After listening to the messenger's description, Mulan decided to wait for another day tomorrow after careful consideration, and she explained to the messenger: "You go back and tell Wu Dade that tomorrow will continue according to today's practice!" Also, let Wu Dade make proper arrangements tonight to prevent the Yan army from going out of the city and stealing the camp! ”

"Yes, General!"

Wu Dade could not fail to fulfill the promise he had made to himself, and at dusk, after he returned to the camp with his troops, he ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep, the preparation of wine, and the feast of the soldiers.

After the messenger came back, he relayed Mulan's words to Wu Dade: "Join the army, the general said that you should make proper arrangements to prevent the Yan army from stealing the camp tonight, if the Yan army does not steal the camp tonight, join the army tomorrow and lead the troops to continue to fight and provoke and insult, until the anger of the Yan army can not last!" ”

Wu Dade waved his hand after listening: "Okay, I know, you go down to eat!" ”

After thinking for a long time, Wu Dade got up and made relevant arrangements to prevent the Yan army from coming to steal the camp at night.

How do you deploy it? The soldiers and generals roasted outside all day during the day, and they were all tired, and now they have eaten meat and drank wine, and they are about to fall asleep. But if you don't let them sleep, I'm afraid that you won't have energy all day tomorrow.

This made Wu Dade embarrassed, he thought about it and decided to take advantage of the darkness to pull the team out of the camp and hide it in a nearby sorghum field, so that the soldiers could lie down in the sorghum field and fall asleep.

If the Yan army comes to steal the camp late at night, it will definitely be a big move, and the sorghum field will immediately know that it can quickly dispatch troops, although it cannot leave all the Yan troops who stole the camp, but at least it can weaken part of the strength of the defenders.

In the middle of the night, when the Wei army was lying in the sorghum field and falling asleep, the Pinggang guard general Huangfu Yan came to the Taishou Mansion after patrolling the city.

"The last general has seen the king!"

Li Fu put down the scroll, looked up and asked, "Why did the general come here late at night?" ”

Huangfu Yan hugged his fists and said: "Fujun, the Wei army has been baked by the scorching sun outside the city for a whole day today, and they have long been roasted to exhaustion, at this time they are only afraid that they have already slept like dead pigs, and their number is not much, at this time, if our army goes out of the city to sneak attack, we will be able to break the Wei army in one fell swoop, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Li Fuyi thought that what Huang Fuyan said was reasonable, the sun was so big during the day, the temperature was so high, no matter who basked in the sun all day, they couldn't stand it, even if the Wei generals were strong, they were only afraid that they would be exhausted at this time, and if they went out of the city to attack at this time, it was really very likely to succeed.

Li Fu's lack of emotion is fake, but he is also an indecisive person, some of which suffer from gains and losses, he can't make up his mind, and he is cautious by nature.

Li Fu thought for a while and said to Huangfu Yan: "General Huangfu, do you know why this mansion has been preventing you from going out of the city to fight?" This government is worried that this is a conspiracy played by the Wei army! ”

"This ······ How can it be? ”

Li Fudao: "Think about it, the two thousand Wei cavalry who went in the direction of Yangwu must have gone to Yangwu?" What if they went round and then came back secretly? If you want to go out of the city late at night and steal the camp, don't you just fall into the trap they have arranged? ”

Huang Fuyan was a little incredulous, "Can those Xianbei barbarians have such resourcefulness? ”

"Don't underestimate the others, the Xianbei people are barbarians, but they are not without wisdom! This time, you listen to the official, give up stealing the camp tonight, if the Xianbei people continue to come to fight, insult and provoke tomorrow, and wait until after noon they have not retreated, the government will let you lead the troops to attack, what do you think? ”

Huang Fuyan was persuaded, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Okay, the last general will listen to Lord Fujun and try his best to appease the generals!" ”

The Wei generals fell asleep one by one, sleeping like dead pigs, but Wu Dade didn't dare to sleep, he was worried that he would fall asleep, his eyes were always wide, and sometimes he couldn't hold it anymore, so he pricked himself with a wooden stick, pricked his nerves, and kept himself awake, in fact, he was more tired than anyone else.

In this way, he stayed up all night, but the Yan army did not come to sneak attack, until the sky was numb, Wu Dade immediately woke up the general Wu Helian, asked him to organize the soldiers and generals to return to the camp, arranged for the men to prepare meals, and instructed Wu Helian to wake him up after an hour.

He fell asleep upside down, and when he was woken up, his eyes were sleepy, his eyes were red, and the dark circles under his eyes were extremely obvious, he didn't have time to pay attention to these, and after hurriedly nibbling a flatbread and drinking half a bag of water, he immediately lit up his troops and horses and came to Pinggang City to continue fighting, provoking and insulting.

The Yan soldiers defending the city were once again brutally destroyed by sight and sound, some Wei soldiers even jumped off their horses to urinate in the direction of the city wall, and some took off their pants and turned their backs to the city wall with their bare buttocks, doing their best to insult them.

The Yan soldiers on the city wall were almost mad, and many of them were slashing at the wall with weapons to vent their anger.

After noon, the Wei army outside the city was stunned again, and no one was unaffected by this scorching sun.

Huangfu Yan walked to the city tower and hugged his fist to Li Fu and said: "Fu Jun, you see that those Wei troops outside the city are fighting again, it's time to attack, if you don't attack such a great opportunity, once you miss it, you will never have a chance again!" Besides, the emotions of the soldiers are extremely irritable, and if they are suppressed, the last general is afraid that something big will happen, and it will not be good to prevent the Wei army from being attacked internally in the end, which is really wronged! ”

Li Fu knew that what Huang Fuyan said was the truth, he saw the situation of the Wei army outside the city, and also saw the reaction of his own soldiers defending the city at this moment, he knew that it really could not be suppressed anymore, and if it continued like this, these generals would probably not obey his orders, and once the generals were out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Okay, General Huangfu, this mansion will give you a thousand soldiers and horses, and you will lead the troops out of the city to attack the Wei army!" Li Fu finally gave the order to attack.

"A thousand?" Huangfu Yan was almost crying, "Fu Jun, it's not that the last general will raise the morale of others to destroy his own majesty, everyone knows that the cavalry of the Wei army is brave, you see that although these Wei troops have a weak appearance, but the fierce spirit of the whole body can't be removed, only take a thousand men and horses out, with the same force to attack, the last general really has no bottom in his heart!" ”

The muscles on Li Fu's face trembled, he also knew that he was too careful, but he was really afraid, this Pinggang City was his old nest, and it had been in business for decades, if it was captured by the Wei army, then the hard work of these decades would really be a wedding dress for others!

"And how many people do you need to be sure?"

Huang Fuyan said: "You give me another 500 cavalry and 500 infantry, and with 1,500 cavalry, the last general will be sure." The other 500 infantry are used to capture prisoners and clean up the battlefield, so you need some prisoners to ask for credit from the Dragon City side, right? ”

Li Fu was speechless, gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Okay, this mansion will give you another 500 cavalry and 500 foot soldiers, you must be cautious!" ”

Huangfu Yan couldn't help muttering in his heart, this Li Taishou is good at everything, but he is too timid, too cautious, and lacks courage, and he wants to do big things and spare his life, which is really ······

"Thank you, the general, I'm going to prepare!"
