Chapter 91: The strategy of luring the enemy into a trap, and help from all sides

Zhang Liao looked down and saw that many war horses began to emit thick white air from their mouths and noses, and it was obvious that they had reached their limit.

Some of the cavalrymen were also cleaning the arrows on their bodies. It was obvious that they were blocked by their armor after being shot.

But if the arrow penetrates a little, skin injury is inevitable.

He looked around and saw that Sun Quan's defeated troops were fleeing in panic, no longer able to organize an effective resistance.

"Okay, let's retreat and join forces with His Highness now."

Zhang Liao gave the order decisively. He turned his horse's head and galloped towards the direction where Chu Yang was with five hundred cavalrymen.

Along the way, Zhang Liao was secretly frightened.

This battle seemed easy, but he also knew that it was entirely due to the advantage of night attack and equipment.

Although Sun Quan's army was poorly trained, they had a large number of people. If they were to engage in a head-on confrontation, it would be unclear who would win.

"What exactly is your Highness planning? Why would you take such a risk?"

Zhang Liao was full of doubts.

the other side.

Chu Yang was leading Suo Si and others, quietly lurking on a hill, closely watching the movements of Sun Quan's camp in the distance.

"Your Highness, General Zhang and his men have charged twice. Sun Quan's camp has been completely routed and the army is in disarray!"

Suo Si pointed in the direction of flames rising into the sky in the distance, his tone full of excitement.

Chu Yang nodded slightly, but there was no joy on his face, instead there was a hint of solemnity.

He knew that this was just the beginning and the real test was still to come.

"Pass the order down, everyone, cheer up and get ready to support General Zhang!"

"promise!"

After a while.

There were bursts of hurried horse hooves sounds coming from afar, and Zhang Liao's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

"Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission and have defeated Sun Quan's vanguard!"

Zhang Liao dismounted from his horse, knelt on one knee, his tone full of respect.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Chu Yang stepped forward and helped Zhang Liao up, his eyes falling on the cavalry behind him.

Although these cavalrymen were covered in dust and their armor was stained with blood, their eyes were still sharp and their morale was obviously high.

"These are elite warriors who have fought in hundreds of battles!"

Chu Yang secretly praised in his heart. With this elite cavalry, his next plan would be more certain.

"General Zhang, after a short rest, you will immediately lead the cavalry to the commanding heights,"

"Remember, your mission is not to attack, but to create momentum."

"Let's say your vanguard has reached Sun Quan's army camp. You are too weak. The 50,000-strong army from Luoyang City is already here."

Zhang Liao took the order and left. He understood that Chu Yang's intention was to bluff Sun Quan and make him think that the main force had arrived, thus causing him to lose his composure.

He found a sheltered place and allowed the soldiers to take some time to rest and recover their strength.

Chu Yang led three hundred cavalrymen and galloped towards Luoyang City under the cover of night.

He knew in his heart that Zhang Liao's surprise attack was successful.

But this is only a temporary solution. If we want to completely deal with Sun Quan, we need to take a long-term view.

"Your Highness, where are we going?"

Suo Si followed behind Chu Yang and couldn't help but ask.

"Go back to Luoyang City." Chu Yang's tone was calm, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

"We have to go back!"

Suo Si was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "We spent so much effort to finally get here, why do we suddenly want to go back?"

"Who said we were going back?"

Chu Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, "I am just going to prepare some things."

"Prepare something?"

Suo Si was even more confused and scratched his head, "What is that? Aren't we going to fight Sun Quan?"

"A war cannot be won by brute force alone. Sometimes, using your brain is more useful than using a sword."

Suo Si was confused by what he heard, but he also knew that since Chu Yang said so, he must have his reasons.

So he stopped asking questions and just followed Chu Yang closely, running towards Luoyang City.

Galloping all the way.

When the first rays of morning light broke through the night sky, they finally arrived at a dense forest outside Luoyang City.

"Suo Si, take a few people to the city and find some clerks you are familiar with. Ask them to write a few letters according to my instructions."

Chu Yang gave the order as he got off his horse.

"Letter? What letter?"

"Just say that the local garrisons in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qiongzhou and other places have received the news and are leading a large army to support us. They will arrive in Luoyang City soon."

Chu Yang paused and continued, "Remember, the writing style should be exaggerated. It would be best if Sun Quan was scared to death and fled the city."

"what?"

Suo Si was stunned when he heard this, "Your Highness, are we going to..."

"That's right. I just want to bluff and make Sun Quan lose his composure."

Chu Yang's eyes flashed with cunning, "Doesn't he like to use his numbers to bully the few? Then I will let him have a taste of what it feels like to be bullied by the many!"

"High, really high!"

Suo Si suddenly realized and couldn't help but give Chu Yang a thumbs up.

"Stop flattering me and get down to business."

Chu Yang cursed with a smile, then turned to look at the other cavalrymen behind him, "Take this time to rest, eat something, and replenish your energy. When Suo Si comes back, we will still be busy!"

"promise!"

The cavalry responded in unison, then dismounted and began to prepare for rest and meal.

Chu Yang found a clean stone to sit on, looked up at the rising sun in the sky, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

He knew that the battle had just begun and the next war might be even more severe.

The magistrates of all the major cities and counties have their own troops, but Emperor Yongning loves military power alone. Add to that the situations of the border countries, and the world may be in chaos!

However, he was not afraid, but full of anticipation.

Because he believed that as long as he made plans and had the best soldiers and generals under his command, he would be able to defeat all enemies!

"Your Highness, the letter you requested is ready."

Suo Si went back and respectfully handed over several letters written in tiny calligraphy to Chu Yang.

"it is good."

Chu Yang took the letters, checked them carefully, and after confirming that they were correct, he handed them to a personal soldier beside him.

"You, take these letters immediately to Sun Quan's camp and find a way to deliver them to General Zhang Liao."

"Then you will join their ranks and follow General Zhang's orders."

"Also, tell General Zhang to trust himself and just charge forward. My army will be here soon!"

"promise!"

The soldier took the letter, turned and left, and soon disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"Wait."

Chu Yang uttered a word lightly.

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Wait for God's will. If God helps me, then Sun Quan's 100,000-man army will abandon their weapons and retreat!"

Chu Yang smiled slightly, then closed his eyes, as if he was resting.

Suo Si was shocked when he saw this. He couldn't understand what kind of fighting style this was.

Could it be possible that Zhang Liao could really defeat an army of 100,000 with only 800 soldiers?

But seeing Chu Yang's condition, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only wait quietly.
