Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

It was okay at the beginning, the defenders in Dangtu and Yinling were nervous about Li Yi's actions, and they couldn't even sleep well in the first two days, but as Li Yi struggled for a long time, everyone became a little numb Yes, and the scouts on Yuan Shu's side have also gained experience. They can accurately grasp the action time of Li Yi's soldiers and horses every day, such as when they send troops, when they rest, when they turn back, and when they return to camp. The news was reported to their respective commanders in a timely manner.

Therefore, gradually, when the level of security in Tu and Yinling quickly returned to normal, many people were even happy to see Li Yi running around like this, and even developed a sense of superiority. How tiring it is to march, how good they are, as long as they stay in the city honestly.

However, this kind of mentality basically only exists in the hearts of ordinary soldiers and those low-ranking military officers, such as the generals of the three places, Ji Ling, Chen Ji, and Chen Lan, but they know that Li Yi is a very insidious and cunning person, so they sent troops. Before, Yuan Shu also urged them to be careful of Li Yi's tricks. Therefore, if someone said that Li Yi had no deep-seated purpose for letting soldiers and horses run around every day, they would absolutely not believe it.

However, although Ji Ling and the others could think that Li Yi must have a conspiracy, they couldn't do anything about what the conspiracy was.

Ji Ling, who is closer to Li Yi, even asked his lieutenant general to take 2000 people out of the city to confront Li Yi for a while in order to test Li Yi's motives. He wanted to test the reality of Li Yi's camp, but Ji Ling's purpose was to Yes, but it turned out to be very unfortunate. His lieutenant general was chopped off by someone in less than three rounds under Dian Wei's hands. As for the soldiers he sent out, hundreds of corpses were also left behind. After paying so much, Ji Ling got nothing in the end.

In this way, following Li Yi's completely incomprehensible operation, the time gradually came to April 25.

It was dark this day, and Huo Du led the [-] troops who were supposed to "rush" the Yinling, and ran halfway back to the camp to rest and eat. After the brief noise passed, the camp soon calmed down. It was as if the exhausted soldiers had fallen asleep.

Such a change was noticed by Yuan Shujun's scouts, and after confirming each other's accuracy, they quickly spread the news to all directions to let the generals know.

This process is very fast and very efficient, because it is like this every day these days, and these scouts are already familiar with the road.

However, not long after those news spread, a side door of Li Yi's camp opened, and a group of dozens of riders ran out quickly. Not long after they walked out, they split into two, heading towards Dangtu and Yinling respectively. .

During the period, some scouts from Yuan Shujun noticed these movements, but they didn't take it seriously, because there were only a few dozen people, it was no big deal, and these days, besides letting his soldiers and horses run back and forth, Li Yi also asked for help. A large number of scouts were sent out, dozens of people at a time, and they were all used to it.

It's just that these scouts didn't know what kind of characters they missed because of their habits.

Li Yi took more than a dozen personal guards, and headed towards the direction of Yinling, riding horses in a hurry under the night. Originally, he couldn't walk too fast in the dark night, but these days, the people under his command have already left on this road I've done it no less than seven or eight times, and I really can't go the wrong way with my eyes closed.

Li Yi's horses were fast, and it only took more than an hour to arrive at a small col between Yinling and Zhongli.

Li Yi pulled the reins, made the mount stop, and then made a gesture. Su Fei took the torch and shook it at the mouth of the mountain col. After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the originally quiet mountain col. Immediately afterwards, Dian Wei ran out quickly, stepped forward and bowed to Li Yi and said, "My lord, the last general and three thousand soldiers are ready, and we can send troops at any time after the lord gives an order!"

"it is good!"

Li Yi responded, and then looked behind Dian Wei, where three thousand soldiers and horses had assembled, each of them had serious faces under the moonlight, and the cold light of swords and guns flickered, showing chill everywhere.

These 3000 people were all Li Yi's team when he was in Nanyang, and they were the group of people who were most loyal to his subordinates.

Li Yi asked: "Has there been any abnormalities in the past two days, has Yuan Shu's scouts been here?"

Dian Wei replied: "Don't worry, my lord. Although this mountain can hide people, everyone knows about it. But our military scouts walk around every half a day. Yuan Shu's scouts only think that the lord is looking for their ambush. I didn’t come here, but I don’t know that our army has already deployed 3000 people here!”

Li Yi nodded, smiled with satisfaction, and then said seriously: "Okay, the whole army will dispatch immediately, and we must arrive at the Yinling City before dawn!"

"The end will be ordered!"

Hearing this, Dian Wei clasped his fists to accept the order, then raised his head, his eyes were full of excitement

When Li Yi started to move here, on the other side, on the road from Zhongli to Dangtu, Xu Huang also joined another army hidden in the forest.

The difference from Li Yi's side is that there are a total of 1 soldiers in this army. In addition to Xu Huang, Ling Cao, Cai Zhong, Gong Du and others are the leaders. Obviously, Li Yi sent troops this time. The main direction of attack is Dangtu, Machuju!

Xu Huang led his men and horses to kill Dangtu after a brief reorganization of the army, but such a large-scale march, whether it was Yinling and Dangtu, or Zhongli, who was next to Li Yi's camp, was unaware of it. .

In the past few days, Li Yi let the soldiers and horses run back and forth constantly outside. It seemed that he had done useless work, but in fact he was "striking the grass to startle the snake", trying to ambush the soldiers by mistake.

The effect of this was very good, but on the fifth day, Li Yi roughly judged that there should be no ambushes in the direction of Dangtu and Machuju, so, since then, Li Yi sent no matter how many soldiers he sent every day. When the horse leaves the city, when he returns, there are at least two thousand fewer people than the ones who went out. Of course, those few people are not lost, but are all left in the wild by him. After several days in a row, Li Yi is not sure. More than 3000 people were quietly hidden outside.

Generally speaking, Li Yi's camp is short of more than 1 people, so it is easy to be discovered by Yuan Shu's scouts. However, Li Yi set up two large camps, and the soldiers and horses walked back and forth, and it was impossible to detect the soldiers and horses in a short period of time. number.

Moreover, the soldiers and horses that Li Yi sent out every day went out early and returned late. Yuan Shu's scouts could at most roughly estimate how many people he sent out. How much, so none of those scouts discovered that Li Yi was actually transporting troops under their noses.

As for how the people hiding outside can't be discovered by Yuan Shu, this point is even simpler.

Because the situation on the surface of the two sides is that Li Yi is worried that Yuan Shu will have an ambush, and Li Yi has just arrived in Yangzhou, so there is no way to set up an ambush. Therefore, the final situation is that Li Yi's scouts are running around, looking for Yuan Shu all over the world. The ambush, while Yuan Shu's scouts were staring at Li Yi's camp, and their efforts to investigate the field were minimal.

Li Yi grasped this psychological difference between the two sides, and successfully staged a deception for Yuan Shu.

Marching overnight, although many of the three thousand soldiers under Li Yi's command were covered in dew and it was very inconvenient to move, they were all full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue, because Li Yi told them, As long as they marched fast enough, Li Yi would take them directly to the Yinling. If they walked slowly and delayed the opportunity to fight, they had no choice but to obediently cover Xu Huang and then retreat.

Most of Li Yi's subordinates are from Jingzhou. Many of Xu Huang's soldiers are soldiers from Yangzhou. He rushed to the place less than five miles away from the Yinling city wall.

As expected by Li Yi, the generals on Yuan Shu's side were "under control" of the movements of Li Yi's army, and Li Yi had almost been leaving early and returning late recently, so even though Li Yi was so close to Yin Ling, but even a patrolling soldier didn't meet him.

They found a hidden place for the 3000 soldiers to eat some dry food and water to replenish their strength. Then, when the sky was just a little bit dark, the [-] soldiers and horses carried a long ladder and a hook lock. The fog quietly approached the Yinling city wall.

"Quick, quick, give me a hand!"

"lighter!"

"Be careful, go up!"

Under a city wall near the city gate, Dian Wei took 200 people as the first climbers, and quietly built a long ladder. He did his part and was the first to climb up. On the long section of the city wall, there were only a dozen or so defenders, and all of them huddled under the parapet and dozed off.

With a sneer, Dian Wei lightly touched the person closest to him, and without moving a knife, he directly reached out and grabbed the person by the throat, without waiting for the person to open his eyes. When he exerted force, he heard a soft crack, and the person He lost his life directly.

Going back and forth like this, Dian Wei killed two more. At this time, there were seven, no. 80, who had climbed to the top of the city. People went straight to the city gate along the steps.

However, Yuan Shu's soldiers were not all foolish. Dian Wei had just stepped down from the city wall when he heard a loud cry from not far behind: "Enemy attack! There is enemy attack!"

Following this cry, followed by the clang of the gong, directly broke the silence of the morning.

"Die!"

Dian Wei followed the movement and looked back, it turned out that a soldier at the gate of the cave for soldiers saw him and yelled, couldn't help cursing, turned around and rushed towards the cave for soldiers, shouting at the same time: " Open the city gate as quickly as possible to welcome the lord into the city, and I will block it here!"

"Here!"

The soldiers who followed Dianwei saw that they had been exposed, and there was no longer any hiding. They all agreed, and then rushed to the bottom of the city gate, chopped down a few Yangzhou soldiers who were still a little confused, and then they carried the gate bolts, After drinking a throat, he took it off with a sudden force, and then slowly opened the door to let the light from outside the city come in. At the same time, Li Yi's and the soldiers and horses behind him came in.

Seeing this, Dian Wei laughed loudly. At this time, the people resting in the cave of soldiers had been awakened by the warning sound, and regardless of their clothes, they rushed out with their weapons in their hands. However, Dian Wei held a knife in his right hand and a shield in his left. Slashing or blocking, one person blocked the exit of the cave, it turned out to be like an iron tower, the few people who rushed over were all knocked to the ground by him, but none of them got out.

At this moment, the officer in the cave of soldiers had heard the sound of the city gate opening, and couldn't help turning pale, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, everyone rush out together, or if you lose the city gate, I will all be punished by death!"

Dian Wei heard the man shouting, but he said loudly: "Li Xianghou's army has already entered the city, and the city will be broken soon, if these turtles in the urn don't abandon the dark and turn to the light as soon as possible, then they are courting death!"

At this time, a soldier of the Yangzhou Army wanted to take advantage of Dian Wei's words to distract him and sneak up on him, but Dian Wei's eyes were so sharp that when he saw the man approaching, he didn't even wave his knife and yelled "death", He held up the shield to meet him, first blocked the man's knife, then used the shield to hold the man's chest, then took a step forward, and continued to exert force to directly hit him against the city wall.

At this moment, everyone heard a series of rattling sounds, obviously, the guy's breastbone was smashed by Dian Wei.

This scene made many people's scalps go numb, but Dian Wei was a ruthless person. Seeing this, he not only withdrew his hand, but exerted force again. A big mouthful of blood foamed out of the mouth of the man behind the shield, obviously he couldn't survive.

Dian Wei's brutal killing method is obviously much better than the deterrent effect of directly cutting people with a knife. Originally, some people had decided to come to Dian Wei after hearing the officer's shout, but after witnessing Dian Wei killing people with a shield However, no one dared to approach Dian Wei, and no one dared to look directly at Dian Wei, and some even subconsciously wanted to retreat behind others.

Seeing that everyone was shocked by him, Dian Wei said loudly again: "If you want to live, kill that person, otherwise after Chen Lan bestows the head, you will be buried with him!"

After finishing speaking, Dian Wei raised his knife and pointed it at the officer standing in the crowd. The officer panicked and said loudly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, and Li Yi can't beat them at all. Hurry up!" Kill this guy with me!"

Hearing this, Dian Wei couldn't help laughing, and then said sarcastically: "Back then, Yuan Shu's army of 1 and hundreds of generals were wiped out overnight under my lord's sword. [-] people, do you have the nerve to propose in front of my lord? Shame and no shame!"
