In front of their Qin cavalry, the pawns were not vulnerable at all, not to mention that Li Ru had already explained that it was enough to stick to Wuguan. The previous surprise attack on Guan Yu was just a coincidence.

Zhao Yan asked worriedly: "General Guan, why hasn't General Yide moved yet?"

Guan Yu said: "Although the third brother is reckless, sometimes he is very careful. It must be difficult for him not to do anything."

Zhao Yan sighed, and said, "I hope there will be no accidents. We would rather not make a surprise attack than lose one of our generals."

"Report, Shang County was suddenly attacked by a group of unknown bandits last night. Shang County's guard Wan Fu was killed, and all the soldiers from the south of the city surrendered to the other party."

Chapter 322 Shangluo and Shangxian lost Wuguan one after another, and Dong Zhuo panicked

Guo Si was overjoyed when he heard the news that Shangluo had fallen, and fortunately he retreated, otherwise Wuguan would have been attacked by the opponent.

"Quickly find out how many soldiers and horses the opponent has!"

"promise!"

"Come here, send the news of Shang Luo's fall to Chang'an!"

In the city of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo sat on the dragon chair, his face as gloomy as the dark clouds in the sky.

"Huh, [-] of the [-] troops in Hongnong County died in battle, [-] surrendered, the commanders Li Meng, Li Ying, and Yang Ding were killed, Wuguan Guo Si lost, Shangluo and Shangxian lost, and if this continues, Chang'an It's dangerous."

"Bai'er is still suffering in Liu Bei's army. Liu Biao and Liu Yan are both proclaimed emperors, and they have great intentions to attack Sili. Do I have to conquer them myself in order to repel the powerful enemy?"

Li Ru said: "The several failures were all due to the counselors of the other side. The minister suggested that Fan Chou should guard Tongguan and seal the gate of Tongguan. Li Jue led an army of [-] to garrison Zuo Fengling, and Yang Feng led [-] soldiers to build a deep ditch along the Yellow River. Gao Lei, and then the minister rushed to Wuguan to personally command the army to deal with Liu Bei."

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Okay, there are less than [-] soldiers left in Chang'an, and [-] soldiers in Meiwu. These cannot be moved. You can recruit another [-] soldiers from the Jingzhao area. Take it to Wuguan."

Li Ru said: "Your Majesty, the people in the Jingzhao area have already complained a lot, and it is not easy to recruit soldiers. There are still [-] troops in Wuguan, and I will definitely be able to repel Liu Bei."

"Hey, then you go!"

Li Ru only brought a thousand soldiers and horses, and hurried to Lantian, and ordered the guards of Lantian to guard the city to the death and never leave the city easily.

"Master Taiwei, why did you come to Wuguan!"

Guo Si was surprised when he saw Li Ru came to Wuguan in a hurry. Could it be that Dong Zhuo wanted to urge his troops?

Li Ru said: "The battle is unfavorable, His Majesty is very annoyed, and specially sent me here to supervise you."

Guo Si hurriedly said: "Zhang Fei sneaked into Shangluo from Fengxiang City and attacked our two cities one after another. We were caught off guard."

Li Ru frowned and asked, "How many troops does the opponent have?"

"There were only 8000 before, but we lost a few hundred during the siege. Adding the soldiers from Shangluo and Shang counties, there are about [-]."

"Eight thousand?"

Li Ru frowned, this is not a small amount.

"How many cavalry does the opponent have?"

"About a thousand!"

Li Ru thought about it, although Zhang Fei was brave, but he had no plan, he was able to attack two cities in a row, it was nothing more than his own insufficient preparation.

"The opponent's purpose is obvious. They want to attack Guan Yu outside Wuguan on both sides."

"Does the Taiwei have a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Guo Si looked at Li Ru eagerly.

Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "To break Zhang Fei, all you need is a small plan!"

Li Ru took out the map and ordered: "Guo Kang, you lead three thousand soldiers and rush to Shangluo in the dark, each hold two torches, put torches on the horses, and build a large palace outside the city of Shangluo. Camp, set up more tents, prepare ten thousand scarecrows, let the other party think that you have a ten thousand army, don't let the other party see the clues."

"promise!"

"Wan Yu, you lead [-] cavalry to Shang County overnight, and lie in ambush in Wanhe Mountain. When Zhang Fei leaves the city to attack Wuguan, you attack the opponent's rear army. Remember not to fight Zhang Fei."

"promise!"

Li Ru looked at Guo Si and said: "The general can lead [-] cavalry out of Wuguan, move forward slowly, guard against the traps on the ground, and go down [-] steps away from the opponent's camp to lure the opponent out of the camp."

Guo Si worried: "The opponent has more than a dozen camps, and each camp has more than ten thousand people. We only have 4 people. How can we resist?"

"Such a small skill, how can you hide it from me? Liu Biao doesn't have 10,000+ soldiers and horses. The other party must have used a trick to make you think that there are so many soldiers. I have always asked Liu Biao and the local gentry in Jingzhou to fight openly and secretly with Liu Bei. Will you be willing to hand over the soldiers and horses to Liu Bei's command?"

"hateful!"

After listening to Li Ru's explanation, Guo Si suddenly realized that the damn Guan Yu used such tricks to deceive himself.

Guo Si asked again: "What kind of trap did the other party use to destroy our war horse?"

Li Ru explained: "I heard that when Cao Shuo attacked Gongsun Zan, he dug a small hole in the ground to prevent Gongsun Zan's cavalry from attacking. The small hole was about the size of a bowl and two feet deep. Go, and the horse's hoof that sinks will be broken."

"Such a despicable method can only be imagined by Cao Shuo."

Li Ru said: "Although this strategy is extremely cruel to the cavalry, it does little harm to the infantry. The general only needs to send thousands of soldiers to fill the potholes on the ground."

"Okay, I actually made that Guan Yu pay a heavy price."

Li Ru reminded: "After the general leaves the city, first send soldiers to fight Guan Yu for a while, then retreat to the camp and hold on. When the fire starts behind Wuguan, the general can lead the army to abandon the camp and leave an army in ambush in the woods ten miles east of Wuguan. , see Guan Yu coming to attack the city, and then fight out, you will be able to repel Guan Yu."

"Later, Master Taiwei, please give me some pointers."

"General, prepare as soon as possible, and leave the defense of Wuguan to me."

"promise!"

After the three-way army left, there were only 1 people left in Wuguan. Li Ru asked these soldiers to rush to make bows and arrows day and night, preparing to defend the city.

In Shang County, in the county government, Zhang Fei, who was drinking, suddenly received a report from a soldier.

"General, Guo Si led an army out of the pass. Guo Kang, Guo Si's son, led an army of [-] to attack Shangluo. Only [-] soldiers remained in Wuguan."

"Oh?"

Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly brightened.

Chapter 323 Zhang Fei attacked Wuguan, Li Ru set fire to the city

In order to attack Wuguan, Zhang Fei left only 500 troops in Shangluo City. The rest of the soldiers were all in Shang County.

Although he doesn't have much food and grass, as long as he wins Wuguan and joins Guan Yu, he can solve the food and grass problem.

Zhang Fei heard that Guo Bang led an army out of the city, and his son went to Shangluo again. There were only [-] troops left in Wuguan, and the guard Li Su was a waste, so he didn't care at all.

Zhang Fei called several lieutenants and said: "Let the soldiers eat and drink enough, and prepare to attack the city ladder. At the third watch, come with me to fetch Wuguan. Everyone who takes down Wuguan will be promoted to three levels in a row."

"promise!"

In the middle of the night, Zhang Fei led an army of [-] and approached Wuguan quietly. It was much easier to attack Wuguan from behind than from the front.

"Look, general, the closed fire is bright but there are not many people, and there are only a few patrol soldiers in the camp after the closed."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, it seemed that he would be able to win Wuguan today.

"Xue Lan and Li Feng led [-] soldiers into the camp, set fires everywhere, caused panic on the other side, and after defeating the other soldiers, came to support Wuguan."

"promise!"

Zhang Fei personally led [-] soldiers and rushed directly to Wuguan.

"Kill it!"

"Boom!"

When Zhang Fei's soldiers rushed to Wuguan with a hundred steps left, their feet suddenly became empty, and a huge pit appeared in front of them.

Those cavalry soldiers who rushed to the front had no time to dodge, and directly fell into it.

"what……"

"Chong, we must win Wuguan."

Although Zhang Fei was surprised why there was such a big hole, but looking at Wuguan in front of him, he didn't think too much, and directed the soldiers to continue to charge forward. People can climb up.

"Who the hell peed, why is the ground so wet!"

"Why is this urine sticky?"

"Fire oil, it's fire oil!"

In the huge pit ten battles wide, Li Ru's soldiers poured a lot of kerosene and hay into it.

However, Li Ru, who was standing on the city wall, did not set fire to it immediately. He wanted Zhang Fei to enter the pit and then set fire to it.

"Master Taiwei, the guarded soldiers can't bear it anymore."

"Master Taiwei, there are only three thousand soldiers in the gate, and it will be too late if you don't do it."

"Master Taiwei, the opponent's soldiers have attacked up the stairs."

Seeing Zhang Fei jumping into the pit, Li Ru waved his hand, "Set fire!"

Puff puff!

Countless rockets shot towards Guanxia and the giant pit.

Zhang Fei was startled when he saw the rocket coming, and hurriedly jumped up on his horse.

"what……"

"Fire..."

"Help me quickly..."

A raging fire was ignited throughout the pass. Looking at the more than 2000 soldiers in front of him, Zhang Fei crawled out of the huge pit, his body was covered with kerosene, and it was really difficult to put it out.

Wuguan's shrill screams and raging fire shocked everyone present.

Zhang Fei glared at Li Ru on Wuguan, and shouted: "Evil thief, I will kill you!"

Guan Yu, who was stationed outside the pass, saw the fire in Wuguan, and thought it was Zhang Fei's fire, so he quickly came to Zhao Yan's camp.

"Mr. Zhao, Yide has succeeded, shall we attack Wuguan immediately?"

Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "Guo Bang led an army to station outside the city. If the situation in Wuguan is urgent, he will definitely come back to help. We will kill Guo Bang when Guo Bang retreats."

Guan Yu had no choice but to obey Zhao Yan's arrangement, and only hoped that Zhang Fei could hold on for a little longer.

"Report, Guo Si led the army to abandon the camp and leave."

"Good opportunity!" Zhao Yan slapped his thigh and said eagerly: "General Guan will lead two thousand cavalry first, and I will lead an army of thirty thousand to arrive later. We must take Wuguan as soon as possible."

"Guan Mou bids farewell!"

Xue Lan and Li Feng, who had raided the camp, rushed to Zhang Fei and said, "General, the camp is empty!"

"what?"

Zhang Fei was startled, did the other party know that he was coming to attack the city?Or do they have no soldiers?

"Kill it!"

"Catch Zhang Fei alive!"

Suddenly, a cavalry soldier appeared in the forest not far away, and the three of them could not help but wipe off a cold sweat.

Counted!

Zhang Fei's face darkened, and he said: "You two lead all the infantry, go around the fire pit, and open the gate of Wuguan for me at all costs. I will lead my personal guards to stop the opponent's cavalry."

"General, be careful!"

The two took a deep look at Zhang Fei. They only had more than 1000 cavalry, and they didn't know if they could stop each other.

"Kill it!"

Seeing Zhang Fei's soldiers swarming in, Li Ru broke into a cold sweat. Guo Si's army was still far away.

"Abandon the city gate, stick to the city wall, and the archers guard the entrance of the stairs!"

"Li Su, you personally lead the sword and shield soldiers and block the stairs for me."

Facing the very dense arrow rain, the soldiers of Li Feng and Xue Lan were repelled many times.

Li Feng yelled: "Carrying the corpse, you have to rush to the closed door for me."

"Death to those who retreat!"

The two finally rushed to the gate after paying a heavy price, and quickly opened the city gate, hoping that Guan Yu outside the city was already waiting at the gate.

"Crench!"
