The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Lu Xu led an army of 60,000 to march southward to make contributions.

After Eunuch Zhu and Li Yuanfang left Longcang City, they joined Xiao Rui. Thanks to Ah Zhu this time, otherwise it would be almost impossible to deceive Lu Xu!

After two days.

The scouts following Lu Xu's army came back, but Lu Xu didn't realize that it was a trick. He didn't follow the plan and led the troops back. Moreover, he had marched for more than a hundred miles, and even if he came back now, it would be too late.

So the second set of plans begins.

A Zhu once again pretended to be Eunuch Zhu, and took advantage of the night to return to Longcang City with 20 or 30 iron dragon knights. Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei, and Yang Youji were among them, and this time he brought the only gunpowder.

They left and returned, and the two Zhaowu lieutenants under Lu Xu's command stayed behind in Longcang City. When they heard that Eunuch Zhu had gone and returned, they hurriedly opened the city gate to greet them without any suspicion.

At this time, Eunuch Zhu smiled and said: "You two generals, our family has found the tiger talisman, so we hurried back, but unfortunately General Lu has already gone south, please send someone to send the tiger talisman to General Lu for verification , and then bring it back to our family!"

As he spoke, Eunuch Zhu took out a brocade box, but the mouth of the brocade box was sealed.

The two Zhaowu captains hesitated for a moment, but immediately agreed. Although according to the rules, the imperial envoy and the commander-in-chief need to compare each other face to face, but since Eunuch Zhu let them go, presumably it was because of his trust in them. The two are only rank-6 military generals, so how dare they speak out to refute.

Ever since, a Zhaowu school lieutenant led three hundred cavalry in light clothes, and chased Lu Xu's army overnight, and the time for this commotion had already passed.

Eunuch Zhu expressed his fatigue, so he was naturally invited to rest in the wing.

At the end of Yin time, there is darkness between the sky and the earth. This is also the time when a person is most tired and easy to fall asleep.

Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei, Yang Youji and other soldiers quietly left the room, and then divided into two groups.

Yang Youji led eight detonators to the outside of the grain cellar in the city. With Yang Youji's superb archery skills, he directly shot the guards and went in. Then he placed gunpowder outside the grain cellar and ignited it!

boom boom...

The lids of more than a dozen grain cellars were overturned, exposing the grain inside. The scattered flames fell into the grain, and the already dry old grain was instantly ignited.

The sound of the explosion also woke up the soldiers in Canglong City, and they ran out of the camp to observe, and saw the flames of the grain cellar on fire.

The Captain Zhaowu didn't know the existence of gunpowder, and thought it was the dry thunder falling from the sky, which hit the grain cellar and caused a fire, but he was also curious.

But at this moment, he didn't care about so much, and immediately arranged for the defenders in the city to start putting out the fire. He couldn't afford the food and grass to be burned. Fortunately, only these grain cellars were burned.

And just when the soldiers in the city hurriedly started to put out the fire, Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei and other soldiers hiding beside the city gate dispatched and directly shot and killed the guards around the city. The huge gate of the centimeter opened.

If it wasn't for the combination of inside and outside, Xiao Rui's 5,000 Iron Dragon Riders would be wishful thinking if they wanted to attack this city gate by force!

At this time, outside the city, Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang led Iron Dragon Knights, wrapped the horseshoes with cloth, and touched them in the dark. The sound of the explosion was the signal, so they charged directly, just as Li Yuanfang opened the city gate!

The two sides cooperated very closely, and just like that, Iron Dragon Knights entered Longcang City!

And when Lieutenant Zhaowu, who arranged to put out the fire, knew that the city gate had fallen and the enemy had already entered, he was still in a state of confusion. Why did the good city gate fall?

It's a pity that Yang Youji shot him to death before he could lead his troops to fight back!

With no leader among the dragons, the 20,000 Qi army was also in a daze. Some soldiers were still busy fighting the fire, when they suddenly saw a large number of heavy cavalry rushing towards them.

...

Early morning, dawn.

At this time, the Longcang City was devastated, the Qi army had been wiped out, and all the grain cellars were also set on fire. All 198 large grain cellars were ignited, and the flames shot straight into the sky. , The crimson sky can be seen clearly from tens of miles away.

The corpses of those Qi troops were reduced to ashes in this purgatory.

The people of Chaoyang City had seen the flames soaring into the sky long ago, but the soldiers of Chaoyang City did not dare to send troops, but locked the city gates tightly and retreated inside. They were afraid that Chaoyang City would do the same.

Looking at the raging flames, Xiao Rui felt that he was short of a feather fan. If the feather fan flickered in his hand, the ashes would be wiped out, and he could pretend to be aggressive.

Now that Longcang City has been solved, it's time to go south, but it's not leaving Qi, but the third plan!

Zhang Liang uses tricks and likes to make a series of tricks. After one trick, the chain is intertwined, and the smallest effort brings the greatest victory.

The same is true for planning Longcang City this time.

It is said that the Zhaowu school lieutenant took the tiger charm and caught up with Lu Xu who was marching south.

Lu Xu is in good spirits due to a happy event in his life. He has already figured out a plan. Since Xia Guo's army from the east is going straight to Hiraizumi, he will not go to Hiraizumi. Cut off the opponent's retreat, cut off the opponent's morale, and then annihilate the opponent!

Knowing that his subordinates came to send tiger charms for Eunuch Zhu to verify the authenticity, Lu Xu smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhu is so lucky that he was able to find the lost tiger charms. This is God's protection for him. Losing tiger charms is a felony!"

As he said that, he took the brocade box from Captain Zhaowu, and after opening it, the smile on his face stopped abruptly, and he was stunned!

Where is the tiger talisman in the brocade box, it is obviously a stone!

Moreover, Xiao Rui shamelessly drew a comparison on it!

Lieutenant Zhaowu glanced at it, sweating coldly in fright, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I dare not open the brocade box on my own initiative! This...this...how could this be turned into stone?"

Lu Xu trembled suddenly, his body suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill, he glared round and angry, and shouted: "No, something is wrong! I'm going to fall into the trap!"

"Caught it?" The expressions of the other generals beside him also changed dramatically.

"General, is this Eunuch Zhu a fake?" a school lieutenant asked hastily.

"But he has an imperial edict!" Another captain hesitated.

"In Qi State, who dares to spread the imperial decree falsely!"

"And that Eunuch Zhu looks like a birdless person!"

…

Lu Xu immediately realized that this was a game from the beginning, and using his eagerness to make contributions, he deliberately designed a scene where the tiger talisman was lost, so that he could take away the army.

"Not good! Longcang City is in trouble!" Lu Xu roared, and immediately arranged for the army to return, and he led the 10,000 cavalry to rush back first.

Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang led the Tielongqi down south to near Tiantai Mountain, where they hid in the forest. The official road not far away leads directly to Chaoyang, which is the only way for Lu Xu. They guard here, which is the third plan of Zhang Liang's series.

Ready to ambush Lu Xu?

No.

Zhang Liang calculated that after Lu Xu guessed the truth, he would definitely lead the cavalry back to Longcang City, because if something happened to the granary, not only would he be finished, but it would also affect the entire southern battle situation of Qi! At that time, he was not only dereliction of duty, but also a sinner! He is a sinner of Qi!

So there is no need to ambush Lu Xu, Lu Xu is already dead, and it is left to Qi Huang to do it himself, let him personally order to kill the general who wanted to be reused, hehe, there must be sadness in this annoyance.

And what they want to ambush is the army behind.

While the Iron Dragon Riders were resting, the scouts came to report that Lu Xu led the cavalry in a hurry to the north, roughly 10,000 cavalry.

After hearing this, Xiao Rui said: "Zou Fang is a master at predicting things, and his guess is right! Then shall we go directly south to attack the 50,000 army behind, or continue to wait?"

"Wait!" Zhang Liang decided to be more cautious. If they have enough people, they can be at ease. And he was also worried that if Lu Xu really showed his whereabouts and went south to fight against the 50,000 people, if Lu Xu went back and attacked them on both sides with the 50,000 troops, then the advantage would become a disadvantage.

Although Lu Xu's eyes were red with anxiety and he rushed back to Longcang City wholeheartedly, he was not a brainless person, and he should have guessed that Longcang City would not be able to keep.

If he wanted to survive when Longcang City could not be kept, how would he save himself?

Perhaps capturing or killing Xiao Rui could be his only bargaining chip for survival, so if Zhang Liang was in Lu Xu's position, he would use the army as a bait to lure out the Iron Dragon Knights, and eliminate Xiao Rui at any cost.

Of course, this is Zhang Liang, Lu Xu may not necessarily do this. But out of caution, Zhang Liang was unwilling to take any risks.

So they keep waiting.

After a long time, the 50,000 troops behind appeared.

Because the cavalry were all taken away by Lu Xu first, the remaining 50,000 troops were mainly infantry, and the infantry was subdivided into archers, shieldmen, spearmen, spearmen, etc., and of course there were also transport teams responsible for escorting grain and grass. Auxiliary soldiers.

The Qi army was defending at home, so naturally they didn't need to carry siege equipment. Lu Xu didn't even carry large long-range attack equipment such as trebuchets for the sake of speed. When the 50,000 army passed Tiantai Mountain, Xiao Rui ordered the Iron Dragon Riders who were ready to go to gather. When the enemy army left the mountainous terrain and the terrain opened up, the Iron Dragon Riders charged!

The sudden heavy armored cavalry from the rear caused the Qi army to be in chaos, and they immediately set up a defensive camp to defend. Pity them for their fifty thousand horses, and they didn't even think about attacking!

With Dian Wei on his horse, the entire Iron Dragon Cavalry turned into a formation of arrow clusters, piercing straight into the enemy army, and a ferocious torrent of steel rushed over, making the infantry Qi army feel powerless, and cursed!

This is simply bullying!

Since ancient times, heavy cavalry has been the overlord on the battlefield.

Ran Min in the Sixteen Kingdoms in his previous life used his heavy armored cavalry to frequently defeat tens of thousands of enemy soldiers with thousands of horses! This is not aimless, but a real situation!

Although Xiao Rui and the others had been in Qi State for nearly a month, they fought a lot of battles and killed many Qi soldiers, but most of them used tricks and sneak attacks instead of real toughness.

This time, it is the moment to truly demonstrate the majesty of the heavy cavalry.

"Kill!" Dian Wei, who was wrapped in Mingguang armor, raised his double halberds, and the iron dragon rider behind him let out a howling roar.

"kill!"

"kill!"

In an instant, the killing sound shook the sky, and the energy pierced Changhong. Although there were only 5,000 people, they carried the momentum like thousands of troops, like a sharp blade, directly sprinting into the Qi army phalanx, splitting the entire phalanx in an instant, and falling into chaos. .

There is a saying in the history books: "Use iron cavalry as the front army, ride on good horses, heavy armor, and impenetrable to stabs; in case of battle, the iron cavalry is the first to rush out, and when the formation is chaotic, attack it!"

It can be seen that an elite heavy cavalry is a terrible nightmare for the enemy's phalanx!

In this open place again, the characteristics of Iron Dragon Knights can be brought into full play!

charge!

Flank siege!

Cut the phalanx!

The terrifying combat power actually defeated the opponent's 50,000 troops and retreated steadily!

At this moment, Xiao Rui realized that he was too protective of this team, and the fighting style that really belonged to the Iron Dragon Knight was to charge forward, not to strategize layer upon layer!

Half an hour later, the Qi army's phalanx completely collapsed, and then fled in despair.

They lacked command and command, and were unable to cause effective damage to the heavy armored cavalry. The morale of the army was already weak. When they encountered the murderous iron dragon cavalry, their failure was obvious!

The Qi army fled with heavy casualties, Xiao Rui did not continue to fight.

After all, he was in Qi State and lacked backup force support and supplies. The cautious Xiao Rui still didn't want Tielongqi to be in danger. If there are 10,000 light cavalry now, then Xiao Rui is confident that they will wipe out the opponent. The heavy armored cavalry rushed into the opponent's camp, and the light armored cavalry outflanked and suppressed the opponent's camp. The combination was a seamless routine!

Now I can only watch the enemy fleeing in all directions.

Xiao Rui ordered Iron Dragon Riders to end the battle, and then rode south to join Xia's army!
