Yuan Tan fell into astonishment and puzzlement.

Ju Yi on the side hurriedly said: "Su thief dared to come in person, and brought 40,000 soldiers and horses, it is absolutely impossible for this Yongqiu City to be defeated, eldest prince, it is better to withdraw the troops first, and then make plans." ”

Yuan Tan secretly gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness.

It was easy for him to win the opportunity to lead the troops from Yuan Shao this time, and he could make a great contribution and occupy the absolute upper hand in the battle for the storage position.

If you retreat now, you don't know when you will have such a good opportunity, and when you will be able to take revenge on Su Zhe.

Unwillingly, Yuan Tan resolutely said: "Even if Su Zhe comes to Yongqiu in person, I don't believe that I can't defeat him, and I will give the order, the whole army will continue to advance, and give me a direct command to Yongqiu City." ”

After that, Yuan Tan rode his horse and galloped.

Ju Yi and Gao Ran glanced at each other, and the two looked helpless, but they had no choice but to follow.

40,000 Yuan troops rode on foot and continued to run wildly.

Before the sun set, Yuan's army arrived in the north of Yongqiu City, and Yuan Tan ordered to camp on the spot and force the city to be walled.

The camp was completed, and the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Yuan Tan approached Yongqiu City to inquire about the Soviet army's imperial defense.

By the light of the early morning, Yuan Tan saw the situation at the north gate of Yongqiu clearly.

I saw that along the front line of the city, the battle flags were densely packed, covering half of the city, and the momentum was quite huge.

Gao Ran next to him sighed: "It seems that the scout's reconnaissance is right, look at this formation, there are at least thirty or forty thousand Soviet troops in the city, and our army is equal to it, if you want to capture Yongqiu City, I'm afraid it's ......."

Gao Ran didn't dare to continue, and quietly glanced at Yuan Tan, hoping that Yuan Tan could understand what he meant and calm down a little.

Yuan Tan did calm down, calm enough to be able to carefully observe the situation of the Soviet army.

Suddenly, he burst out laughing, and his laughter was full of sarcasm.

Ju Yi and Gao Ran glanced at each other again, their eyes were blank, and they couldn't guess why Yuan Tan was laughing suddenly.

Yuan Tan pointed to the enemy city from afar and said disdainfully: "The Su thief is not in Yongqiu at all, and there are no 40,000 enemy troops in the city, you are all fooled." ”

Gao Ran was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Why did the eldest prince say this?" ”

Yuan Tan sneered: "Look carefully, although there are many enemy flags at the head of the city, most of them are brand new flags, obviously just rushed out, think about it, how could so many new flags suddenly appear in the Su thief army for no reason?" ”

Gao Ran suddenly realized and hurriedly said: "Could it be that the Su thief didn't send 40,000 soldiers and horses at all, only a small number of soldiers and horses, but deliberately rushed to make many new flags and plant them in the city, so as to bluff, let us think that he has 40,000 soldiers and horses?" ”

Yuan Tan smiled sarcastically: "Of course that's the case, think about it, how important the Guandu barrier is, how could the Su thief dare to divide half of the soldiers and horses to guard Yongqiu, this is not common sense at all, since the Su thief is known as the head of the Nine Wonders, how could he make such a stupid move." ”

"Therefore, the only explanation is that the Su thief did not dare to divide more troops in Yongqiu, and was afraid that our army would be too large and Yongqiu would be difficult to hold, so he came up with this bluff plan, so that we could retreat in the face of difficulties."

After these words, Gao Ran and Ju Yi suddenly realized, and when they looked at Yuan Tan's eyes, they couldn't help but add deep admiration.

Gao Ran arched his hand and exclaimed: "The eldest prince is really wise, he saw through the tricks of the Su thief at a glance, fortunately, the eldest prince did not listen to the general's mention of withdrawing the troops, otherwise he would have fallen into the trick of the Su thief and missed a great achievement." ”

Yuan Tan was very proud of being complimented, laughed loudly, and pointed at Yongqiu with a horsewhip: "This meal at noon, let the soldiers eat enough, nourish their spirits, and after the afternoon, give me a drum to raze Yongqiu to the ground!" ”

"But by Childe's orders!" Ju Yi and Gao Ran were aggrieved.

Yuan Tan sneered again, glanced at the banner of "Su" at the head of the city with contempt, and drove his horse away.

The head of the north gate of Yongqiu.

Su Zhe was standing in the city tower, hiding behind the battle flag, looking at the enemy cavalry approaching the city gate from a distance.

Zhang Liao said beside him: "Prime Minister, most of the enemy soldiers in that team are Yuan Tan personally investigating the city defense of our army. ”

Su Zhe sneered: "It's him the best, otherwise how can I let him see my 'bluff'." ”

"Bluffing?" Zhang Liao was stunned, and his eyes became more and more suspicious, "The prime minister asked us to rush to make a new flag and plant it all over the city, is it a bluff?" ”

Su Zhe nodded.

Zhang Liao was puzzled: "However, the enemy army is only 40,000, and our army also has 40,000 horses, we can fight a battle, why bluff?" ”

Su Zhe said slowly: "If I don't bluff, how can I deceive Yuan Tan and tell him to come boldly to attack Yongqiu, and how can I kill them by surprise." ”

Zhang Liao's thoughts flickered, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he understood the beauty of Su Zhe's move, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It turns out that this is the intention of the prime minister, and the general finally understands it now, this trick is really wonderful." ”

Su Zhe laughed, brushed his hand and said: "Just keep the sycophants and shoot later, tell the soldiers to get ready, I expect Yuan Tan to come to attack the city in the afternoon, and we have to prepare a meeting gift for him." ”

Su Zhe went down to the city, and at the same time ordered that the soldiers should be prepared with enough wine and meat, so that they could eat and drink enough, and it would be a bloody battle.

The Soviet soldiers hiding in the city, having a full meal, were full of blood, and were ready to fight happily.

Before I knew it, it was already afternoon.

The gate of the Yuan military camp in the north of the city was wide open, and 40,000 Yuan troops poured out of the nest, rushing to the north gate.

On the north line of the city, Xu Huang stood proudly, his eyes were cold and confident, looking at the swarming enemy army, like an ant.

Along the front line of the city, 10,000 soldiers of the Yuan army were high-spirited and solemnly guarded.

Inside the city tower, Su Zhe sat on the seat, drinking wine, chewing broad beans, and watching the clouds rise calmly.

Two hundred steps away in front of the city, Yuan Tan immediately shot a spear, his contemptuous gaze shot towards the city, looking at the big banners with the word "Su", his eyes were extremely disdainful.

"Su Zhe, do you think that your carving insect skills can deceive this son, today, I will snatch back the dignity that was taken away by you!"

Yuan Tan snorted coldly, pointed his gun at the gate of Yongqiu City, and shouted: "Beat the drums, attack the whole army, and raze Yongqiu City to the ground for me——"

Tom tom tom ~ ~

The sound of the war drums of slaughter rose like thunder and resounded throughout the four fields.

The 40,000 Yuan troops in the array burst out and rushed towards the north gate of Yongqiu like a tide.

There were nearly 100 large and small army formations of the Yuan army, the shield hand opened the way in front, the knife hand was in the center, carrying countless ladders to move forward steadily, and thousands of crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot from the back.

The siege is just around the corner.

In the city tower, Su Zhe was still calm, and the broad beans were chewing more and more delicious.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy army approached a hundred paces.

Xu Huang raised his battle axe and shouted: "Crossbowman, release the arrow!" ”

When the order was laid, more than 1,000 sharp arrows rose into the air and flew towards the enemy army overwhelmingly.

Gao Ran snorted disdainfully: "Just a few sharp arrows, do you want to block my army, joke, the whole army avoids arrows!" ”

The order was shouted, and the Yuan saber and shield man immediately raised the big shield, and the number of arrows of the Soviet army was limited, and it did not cause much damage to the Yuan army.

Soon, Yuan's army built a moat, crossed the moat, and advanced under the city walls.

"Crossbowmen, fire arrows, suppress enemy troops!" Ju Yi shouted loudly.

Nearly 4,000 crossbowmen immediately shot at the head of the city, and arrows rained down into the air, quickly suppressing the Soviet army to the point that they could not raise their heads.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, hundreds of ladders were immediately raised by trees and smashed into the line along the city.

At the sound of Gao Lan's order, countless Yuan troops scrambled to climb the ladder and crawled frantically towards the city.
