Chapter 1277 Under the Siege of the Witch City

"General, most of the soldiers in the army were shaken when they saw the Tang army preparing for war day and night. If Xun Gong's serious illness comes out, there will be chaos in the army. The general still needs to hide this matter and don't leak the news.

When Cao Zhang heard the words, he clenched his fists and squealed his head in anger, so he ordered the soldiers to hide it closely and not to spread it. The generals are ordered. On the third day, all the soldiers panicked when they saw that the Tang soldiers were about to be fully prepared. Wen Shun ordered the sergeant to pile up firewood on the corners of each door. Looking at the situation, he was afraid that he would attack the city soon. Therefore, on that day, there began to be groups of soldiers and escaped from the south gate one after another. Seeing this, Wang Shuang quickly returned to Wen Shun. Wen Shun laughed loudly when he heard the news. It was expected that the soldiers and horses in the city would abandon the city and flee within two days, so he made their own orders.

On the fourth day, the situation of the Wei army's deserters intensified, and more than 200 people had escaped. Although Cao Zhang ordered the generals to be strictly guarded, he found that they were executed locally. Although Xu Chu, Hao Zhao and other generals killed dozens of deserters, the situation did not improve, but it was more serious. That night, Cao Zhang urgently summoned Hao Zhao, Xu Chu and others to discuss.

"The soldiers in the city were frightened by the army and fled in batches day and night. Sooner or later, the other army realized that if we took advantage of the situation to attack, our army was caught off guard. At that time, not only the witch city was not guaranteed, but we all had a disaster of destruction. Do you have a plan!?"

Cao Zhang's face was heavy and he asked in a fixed voice. Xu Chu stared at the tiger and shouted angrily.

"If it's like this, why don't you call a sergeant and fight back!! It is still unknown who will kill the deer!!"

When Cao Zhang heard the words, he frowned, but did not answer, but looked at Hao Zhao. Hao Zhao's eyes were sharp and he stared.

"What General Xu said is reasonable. But my army is turbulent, and the soldiers are already timid. The battle between the two armies lies not in the strength of the army, but in the courage of the soldiers. Soldiers are timid and rabble. Now, if our army fights with the Tang thieves, I'm afraid that success is not enough to fail.

Hearing this, Xu Chu's face trembled and he didn't speak for the time being. Cao Zhang listened to what Hao Zhao said and asked anxiously.

"What Bo Dao said is very true. So what should I wait for now!?"

"Na Wen Zixi's soldiers besieged the city, our army's strength is empty, and the sergeants are already timid, and the witch city is difficult to protect. Nowadays, the general should make a decision immediately, order the troops, abandon the city and flee, so as to avoid the destruction of the whole army.

As soon as Hao Zhao said this, Xu Chu and Cao Zhang's faces changed greatly. Xu Chu's strange eyes stared loudly and shouted at Hao Zhao.

"If you don't have the courage, you don't conspire with each other!!"

"The tiger is angry. Nowadays, the situation is better than people. If the decision is not made earlier, it will be too late when the Tang soldiers enter the city. We waited for the salary of the imperial court and died in the war for the country. Naturally, we died in the right place. But death is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai. Now Wucheng has already become a thing in the bag of Tang thieves. Even if we fight to the death, it is difficult to protect it. Isn't it worth our lives!?"

Facing Xu Chu, who was as angry as a mad tiger, Hao Zhao was fearless and said in a quiet voice. When Xu Chu heard this, he gritted his teeth, but he didn't scold Hao Zhao anymore. He also understood the reason. Cao Zhang's face was lonely, he sighed and said slowly.

"Before I came, my brother and I thought that Wen Zixi was young. It was not long after the first war, so it was not to worry about it, but I never thought that now the 30,000 troops we were almost annihilated by the other army and fell into such a dangerous situation. We are really defeated by the enemy!! At present, as Bo Dao said, the witch city has been in the bag of Tang thieves, and it is already extremely powerful. When I abandon the city and run away, today's shame, I should keep in mind that he will definitely come back every day and make a decision with that Wen Zixi!!"

Cao Zhangjin's eyes were full of glory, but he did not frustrate his spirit. Instead, he made up his mind to share the victory with Wen Shun in the future. Hearing this, Xu Chu closed his eyes, and his steel teeth were almost broken, but he did not say anything to refute. Hao Zhao listened to Cao Zhangyi's words, was overjoyed and quickly arched his hand.

"The general can see the situation clearly, which is really a blessing for our army. At present, the Tang thief soldiers besieged the witch city, and there were heavy soldiers at the east, west and north gates, but the south gate was empty. But in my opinion, this is really a fraud. Our army must not break through the South Gate, otherwise the other army will be ambushed.

"Humph. Tang people have always been treacherous and cunning, and I have long thought that there must be fraud in this. But my army is not much, and the other three gates are guarded by heavy troops. Once they are intercepted, there will be a disaster!!"

Cao Zhang snorted coldly and said harshly. Hao Zhao meditated for a while, and his eyes were shining. For a moment, Hao Zhao's face changed and he said in a condensed voice.

"The general can divide the people in the city into three branches, but he teaches one of the people to wear our army's armor, and our soldiers pretend to be the people in detail. Tomorrow, you can first teach the people in military armor to rush out of the south gate. Then he urged the other two people to choose the other two doors to rush out. Our soldiers dressed the people in detail and rushed out of the remaining door. In this way, it is difficult for Tang Jun to distinguish. Our army can be surprised and break through.

Cao Zhang listened to the trick, and his face was overjoyed. He covered his palm and praised it. Then, according to what Hao Zhao said, he ordered the soldiers to rush to prepare that night. The next day, the rising sun rose, and suddenly there was a drum beating sound. A Wei soldier suddenly rushed out of the south gate in a panic. In fact, in the city, hundreds of soldiers pulled bows and strings and reached the gate, which made the soldiers who wanted to escape back to the city immediately pull back and look out of the city. However, it was said that after the Wei soldiers escaped from the city, there was no position in an instant, and they fled everywhere. When Wang Shuang saw that Wei soldiers had escaped, he sighed in his heart that Wen Shun expected things to be like gods, and Wei soldiers really abandoned the city and fled. At present, Wang Shuang quickly ordered the soldiers to inform Wen Shun, and then taught the soldiers to retreat slowly without stopping him.

It is said that Wen Shun heard Wang Shuang's report and hurriedly drove his horse to a high slope outside the south gate. Seeing that Wei Bing fled randomly, there was no formation. Wen Shun's face changed, and he immediately saw the clue and muttered.

"Wei soldiers and horses are always elite, how can they be so disorderly? Isn't it!?

Wen Shun exclaimed and hurriedly shook the whip. With only dozens of riders, he rushed to the chaos of people in the direction of the South Gate. Those people who pretended to be Wei soldiers, when they saw the wind and dust, the sound of horses' hoofs suddenly sounded. They were so scared that they panicked and fled crazily. When Wen Shun saw it, he grabbed the horse in a hurry. He already knew that he had been tricked, and quickly ordered from the horse beside him.

"This man is not Wei Bing, but the disguise of the people in the city. Go and inform Wang Shuang as soon as possible, and Zhang Gong in the ambush, and teach them to lead troops as soon as possible!!"

As soon as Wen Shun's voice fell, at this time, the east and west gates shook the sound of drums, and then there were bursts of panic and noise. Wen Shun's face changed and he immediately turned to the west gate to visit, but saw countless people pouring out from the west gate. Wen Shun's eyes narrowed, and a little anger surged up in his eyes. He hurriedly ordered from the horseman with several people around him.

"Sept my order and teach all soldiers not to hurt the people by mistake!!"

After Wen Shun drank, the number who listened to the order rode and immediately left the news. After a while, the drums sounded again in the direction of the north gate. There are continuous drums, and there are crowds of people in the east, west, south and north. I don't know which is the team of Wei soldiers. Wen Shun's heart was in turmoil, and all the soldiers and horses outside the city did not dare to stop and kill without authorization, but they were afraid that they would accidentally hurt the people. At this time, outside the North Gate, Xu Chu, Hao Zhao, Cao Zhang and others disguised themselves as the people. Seeing the Tang soldiers in the distance, they did not dare to come to stop them. Cao Zhang's expression was shocked and made a secret gesture. Xu Chu roared and walked vigorously. He immediately led hundreds of Xu's elite guards to look at the Tang soldiers to attack. At this time, in the Tang army, Wen Shun was not in the army, and no one was in charge of the overall situation. Seeing a giant man leading hundreds of people to rush, when the Tang soldiers in front of him found something wrong. Xu Chu rushed there first, pulled out the big knife hidden behind his back, and killed it into the crowd. Tang Bing didn't expect it and was caught off guard by Xu Chu. Xu Chu slashed randomly, killed more than ten people in a row, took a war horse, immediately flew into the Tang army, and killed a person. Hundreds of Xu's elite guards, each of which was extremely brave, rushed with weapons, and instantly killed a savage in the Tang soldiers' array. Hao Zhao and Cao Zhang arrived one after another. After the team, several vehicles rushed in, and the car was full of cold weapons and sharp blades. Hao Zhao and Cao Zhang quickly took their own weapons and killed into the chaotic army. They quickly grabbed a war horse each and led the army to kill suddenly. The Tang soldiers were in chaos. At this time, the soldiers in the array realized that the people's team was disguised as Wei soldiers, and quickly shouted to stop and kill. Xu Chu ran wildly on the horse. He met a Tang general who was shouting. He shouted loudly and rushed to the horse away. His hand rose and fell. Between the lightning, blood and flowers bloomed, and the head of the Tang general suddenly cracked in half. Seeing this, all the Tang soldiers around him were frightened. Xu Chu broke through all the way, like a tiger down the mountain, no one dares to stop it. Behind them, Hao Zhao and Cao Zhang quickly broke through. More than a thousand Wei soldiers disguised as the people killed through the Tang army and broke through.

When Wen Shun heard that Wei Bing broke through from the north gate, he quickly ordered all the soldiers and horses to quickly look at the direction of the north gate to pursue. However, when Wang Shuang, Zhang Liao, Deng Ai and other troops arrived one after another, the Wei soldiers had escaped seven or eight miles away. Wen Shun's face was cold, and his knife eyes were cold and shining. Zhang Liao came with his horse and said coldly.

"The Wei thief fled not far away. Why didn't His Highness send all the elite riders to pursue him!?"

Wen Shun listened to the words, made a decision quickly, and hurriedly said to Zhang Liao and Deng Ai.

"Zhang Gong, Shi Zai, you and so on, follow me to lead the elite horse and go to pursue."

Zhang Liao and Deng Ai listened to the order, drank with their hands, turned quickly and ordered the cavalry to gather. Then Wen Shun said to Wang Shuang.

"Ziquan, you will lead the remaining soldiers and horses to seize the witch city!"

Wang Shuang's huge eyes shot out two fine light and took the order with emotion. In a moment, the cavalry was ready. Wen Shun shouted loudly and led the elite horse to chase in the direction of Wei Bing's escape. On the other side, Cao Zhang and others led their troops to flee desperately and rushed forward all the way. It was not until noon that a gust of wind and dust surged up ten miles behind. The iron hooves suddenly sounded, like a sudden rain hitting the ground, and the sound was continuous. Hearing this, the Wei soldiers all changed their faces. Cao Zhang's face was cold, and he urged the troops to go quickly. The two armies chased and fled. Gradually, at dusk, the sky gradually dimmed. Cao Zhang led his troops into the dense forest and was about to reach the head of Jianping.

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da~!

The sound of iron hoofs suddenly rose, and Wen Shun led his troops to the outside of the dense forest. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and thousands of cavalry immediately stopped the horses. Wen Shun squinted his knife eyes and looked up at the sky. At this time, the sunset was set in the West Mountain, and the night was approaching. Wen Shun and others chased them in a hurry, and none of them carried torches. Wen Shun sighed and said to the generals behind him.

"It's getting late, and it's not good for the pursuit. What's more, there are many brave generals in the other army. Our army is not familiar with the terrain. If it is ambushed, it will be in danger. Let's withdraw the army!"

When Zhang Liao and Deng Ai heard the words, they looked at each other. Both of them were thoughtful people and understood this truth, and there was no rebuttal, so they quoted Wen Shun's order to withdraw their troops one after another. At this moment, there was a roar in the dense forest.

"Wen Zixi!! Our great Wei soldiers are strong, and the fierce generals are like clouds. The national strength overturns the world and will unify the country sooner or later. Today's shame, I, Cao Ziwen, will definitely return it ten times in the future!!"

Wen Shun heard the words, but he was not angry. Instead, he laughed loudly and shouted with the spirit of an unparalled hero.

"Cao Ziwen, you are a loser under me. How dare you be brave!? I am a great country in the Western Tang Dynasty, and now I have the land of Xichuan. If you dare to invade, it's better than teaching you to wait for death!!"

Wen Shun's voice shook the four fields, like a dragon roaring for thousands of miles, and the soldiers in the array were shocked when they heard the words, and their eyes glowed. After drinking, Wen Shun only heard a loud noise in the dense forest, but he did not hear Cao Zhang's reply.

The sky was getting dark. Somewhere in the dense forest, Cao Zhang cut a towering tree with a sword. His golden eyes were murderous, and he roared and swore secretly in his heart.
