Liuba has been one of the traffic arteries of the plank road since ancient times, has always been known as the "throat of the Qin and Han dynasties", the strategic location is quite important, the period of Wei and Shu was one of the important places for the two sides to fight, the importance can be seen.

And now, this land that has been silent for thousands of years seems to once again reflect its importance, Deng Zilong led an army of 30,000 generals here to meet the 40,000 northwest border army led by Li Wen, and fought to the death.

On November 20, when the cold wind was howling, Li Wen led his army to Chaiguan with a difficult march, and ordered a group of men and horses to enter Chaiguan to check the situation and see if there were any usable things in the city, and good houses for the army to rest here tonight, but the result was very irritating.

Not only is there nothing in the city that can be used, but even most of the houses have been demolished, so there are traps!

The 300 people sent into the city to look for supplies lost 17 people, and more than 20 people were injured and carried out, and Li Wen's face was darkened with anger, and then he sent men and horses to carefully enter the city to eliminate traps and find intact houses.

After all, the weather is too cold, and it is better to live in the city.

In this way, it took two hours to clear the trap, for which three soldiers were lost and a dozen were wounded.

Since the troops were sent south, they haven't even seen the shadow of Xiao Ruxun's department, but they have already lost more than 100 people, either falling to death or dying of exhaustion, and now they have been killed by traps, Li Wen is very annoyed.

After ordering the army to find a place to set up tents in the city for the night, Li Wen sent men and horses to guard the city wall and set up various obstacles to prevent the rebels from sneaking up at night.

At about two o'clock in the evening, Li Wen was in his room to convene the senior staff and generals to discuss the military situation and discuss the next strategy and tactics, but suddenly heard the violent sound of war drums and shouts of killing, Li Wen was shocked, shouted "enemy attack", and immediately drew his sword and rushed out of the room to gather the army for defense.

The army that should have been sleeping hurriedly got up and lined up to prepare for the enemy, making it embarrassed, and the shouting of killing continued, until Li Wen personally climbed the city wall of Chaiguan and prepared to command the defense of the city, but the shouting of killing stopped.

Li Wen felt strange and hurriedly asked the defender of the city wall, and the guard said that he had been guarding here to prepare for war after the shouting and killing sound, but he had never seen the enemy rushing to the city to attack, and the farther place was too dark to be seen at all, and it was necessary to send troops out of the city depending on the situation.

But the moon is dark and the wind is too dangerous.

A senior counselor quickly said, "Governor, is this a treacherous plan of the rebels?" Judging by the voice, the number of rebels will definitely not be small, they should want to harass our army again and again, but they do not attack, in vain trying to wait for our army to get used to this kind of attack and unpreparedness to suddenly attack, and take our army by surprise! The city wall of Chai Guan is low and dilapidated, and if our army is not prepared, it is very easy to be attacked by a sneak attack. ”

The rest of the senior staff hurriedly agreed.

"That's right, Governor, it's a very cunning ploy!"

Another cronie, Gao Shen, also offered a scheme.

"Governor, my subordinates suggest that we might as well plan our plans, don't slack off the army, prepare in unison, ambush in the city, and then follow what the rebels expect to see, make a panicked garrison on the city wall, and then gradually become defenseless, and when the rebels think that we have relaxed our vigilance, we will attack, at this time, we will do our best, fight the rebels by surprise, let them know our strength!"

Li Wen nodded yes.

"Good! That's it! The battalions resting in the city were ordered to be fully equipped and not allowed to unload their armor until they were notified, and the troops resting outside the city were to remain awake and not sleep, ready to join the battle at any time! ”

Niu Bingzhong immediately obeyed the order and went down to make arrangements.

Sure enough, at about four o'clock, there was a very loud shouting and war drums outside the city again, and Li Wen gave an order, and the troops in charge of acting immediately began to run around the city with torches, looking panicked, and after a stick of incense or so, the shouting and killing stopped again.

Li Wen and the civil and military forces around him looked at each other and smiled, feeling that he had grasped the movements of the stupid rebels, and the rebels were about to be finished.

Soon, as the hour approached, there were once again loud shouts and war drums outside the city, and the acting troops continued to act, but the speed and anxiety were much slower than before, and they were not allowed to run faster.

After a stick of incense, the shouting stopped.

"Governor, you can prepare the army for battle, and the next rush should be real!"

Li Wen nodded.

"Pass the order down and prepare for war!"

"Yes!"

The herald immediately went to give the order.

Everyone sharpened their knives and waited for the rebels to come and kill them.

They waited quietly, although the night was colder, and the winter clothes on everyone's bodies were not so thick, but they still persevered, persevered, waiting for the moment when the rebels came and they successfully counterattacked.

At two moments, a cold wind blew, the shouting and killing sound was more intense than Fang Cai, the war drums were louder than just now, the sound was heard, and Li Wen roared: "Prepare for war!" ”

Soon, orders were delivered one after another, and the soldiers grabbed their swords and clenched their spears and prepared for battle.

The troops on the city wall also looked at the city even more nervously, preparing to rush to the city as soon as they found someone rushing over.

Li Wen planned to let the enemy enter the city and then use superior forces to counterattack, giving the unprepared rebels a head-on blow, and the soldiers were very nervous and ready for battle.

As a result, after a stick of incense, the drums and shouts of killing stopped again, and sent people to the city wall to ask, and the city replied that there was not a single shadow of the enemy.

？？？

Li Wen had a question mark in his head, and cast his puzzled eyes on his senior staff, senior staff, you look at me, I will look at you, and then the leading senior staff member at the beginning replied decisively: "It must be the rebels who point to delay for a while, so that we can relax our vigilance even more!" This time it's still a temptation, and the next time it's the real offense! Don't slack off! The next time is the rebel attack! ”

Everyone thought that this was indeed the case, this was the plan of the rebels, pointing to them to be even more slack, and then killing them once and for all, it was really too treacherous! They have to be given a head start!

Li Wen also nodded again and again, indicating that he was right.

Keep waiting.

I waited for a long time, and at six o'clock, Li Wen really couldn't sit still, the cold wind was really cold, and the soldiers couldn't support it and began to complain, Li Wen asked people to go up to the city wall to see, and the people who went up to the city wall to see came back and said that there was no movement outside, and they didn't know what was going on.

Senior staff, look at me, I look at you, full of doubts, Li Wen frowned, felt the biting cold wind in the middle of the night, looked at the soldiers who were shivering from the cold, and was about to give the order to let the army rest, but the sound of war drums and shouts of killing sounded again.

"It's coming!"

The senior staff members shouted excitedly.

Li Wen's spirit was shocked, and he immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for war, and the sergeants were shocked and immediately entered a state of readiness.

After a stick of incense, the sound disappeared again.

I went to the city wall and asked, but I still didn't see any rebels on the city wall.

"What the hell?!"

Li Wen roared angrily, looking at the senior staff members with unhappy expressions, and the senior staff members also looked embarrassed, feeling very shameless.

That's not right!

Why don't these people follow the routine?

It's been four times, so you can kill it, right?

People say that things are only three, and you don't come after three, it's too unruly, right?
