Chapter 0090 King Turtle
Li Yu nodded. Now there were three options before Li Yu: either defeat Yu Wenzhi, defeat Qu Tutong, or defeat Wang Shichong. Comparing the three, Wang Shichong was naturally the weakest.
"Once we have almost wiped out Wang Shichong's scouts, we will find a way to eat him." Li Yu turned his horse's head and looked at the mountains in the distance. Li Yu was retreating very quickly now. In order for Wang Shichong to understand Li Yu's direction of action in time, he needed to send more scouts to spy on the secrets. Unfortunately , these people were sent to hell by Li Yu and others. Even Li Yu had to take action himself. On the one hand, he could practice his archery skills, and on the other hand, he could turn Wang Shichong into a deaf and blind man.
"Almost done. Wang Shichong's scouts are grouped in ten, and we can wipe out one group every day. He has about 20,000 soldiers and 500 scouts at most. We have eliminated about 300 to 400 of them during this period, and the rest are about the same." Xie Yingdeng said with a little pride. The people in his Xiejiazhuang are good at archery, and the scout camps of the Qihuo Army are mostly led by his men. He is also proud of such achievements.
Wu Yunzhao snorted coldly. Now in the Qihuo Army, Li Yu is naturally the boss, but no one knows who is second. In terms of military strength, Wu Yunzhao is naturally ahead of Xie Yingdeng, but in terms of closeness, Xie Yingdeng is in front, after all, he is Li Yu's sworn brother. This time, when defeating Yujuluo, Li Yu divided 2,200 of the 2,200 surrendered soldiers into a central army of 3,000 people, and 200 people joined the Qinglong Camp to strengthen the strength of the Qinglong Camp, while the Vanguard Camp did not get anything. It can also be seen how close Li Yu is.
"General, this time we defeated Wang Shichong, and the selected vanguard camp is willing to serve as the vanguard." Wu Yunzhao's voice was very loud. He also wanted to establish merit and expand his vanguard camp.
"Okay, General Wu has such ambition. Li Yu naturally welcomes it. Let's go back and discuss it. In a day or two, we will find a place to defeat Wang Shichong's 20,000 troops." Li Yu was full of confidence. The current beggar army could not be defeated casually. As long as the operation was proper, it might not be impossible to defeat Wang Shichong.
Wang Shichong is now pale, sitting in the big tent, feeling anxious. The failure of his scouts in recent days has made Wang Shichong at a loss as to what to do. Most of his men are infantry, and he has more than a hundred cavalrymen around him, all of whom are used as personal guards, and there are also some scout cavalry. But in recent days, they have all been killed by the Beggars' Army, and now there are only a few scouts left around him.
"Uncle, another team of scouts was killed." Wang Renze strode in, his face gloomy and his eyes flashing with anger. The scouts were equivalent to the eyes of the army, and they were killed so easily. The key point was that the uncle and nephew did not know how to deal with this matter. This was the most critical thing.
"This damn Li Yu is bullying us because we have no cavalry!" Wang Shichong wanted to send out his more than a hundred cavalrymen, but he was worried about the fate of these people. What if they were all killed by Li Yu, he would not even have the last chance. At this time, he regretted letting Yu Juro die too early, otherwise , everyone could have discussed it.
"Uncle, I wonder where Yu Wenzhi and Qu Tutong are now. If the three of them join forces, they may be able to defeat Li Yu." Wang Renze was a little worried.
Even though he has 20,000 men, these 20,000 men are all the wealth of the Wang family. If both he and Li Yu suffer losses, it will be bad. If he can win over both Yu Wenzhi and Qu Tutong, at least the 20,000 troops of the Wang family can be preserved.
"Yu Wenzhi is still in Wancheng. He wants the entire Nanyang County. As for Qu Tutong, he has already gone south, but there is no news about where he has gone." Wang Shichong felt annoyed. It sounded like three armies were attacking Li Yu together, but in fact, he was only facing Li Yu with his own 20,000 troops. He knew that this meant that he might be eaten by the other side.
"What are you afraid of? We also have 20,000 people. I don't believe that Li Yu has such a big appetite that he can eat all of our 20,000 people." Wang Renze felt uneasy and even the tone of his voice became much worse.
"Order the army not to advance, we will wait here." Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said, "Send someone to inform Yu Wenzhi and Qu Tutong to advance quickly. They can only advance together and constantly compress Li Yu's space for activities, and the problem can be solved." Faced with unknown dangers, Wang Shichong decided to be a turtle. Although it sounds a bit unpleasant, as long as he can keep his 20,000 troops, he doesn't mind being laughed at by others.
"Will this work?" Wang Renze asked worriedly.
"Although we are not on the wall, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Li Yu attacks, he will suffer heavy losses. He is retreating in big strides now, not to annihilate us in the movement, but we will not follow him, just stay here and wait for the other two armies to come and surround the other side. The other side may attack by force or change the direction of attack. But it will definitely not be a lose-lose situation." Wang Shichong said confidently. What does it matter if you are laughed at? The strength you have is the most important.
"My uncle is awesome." Wang Renze thought about it carefully and nodded repeatedly.
"I want to see what Li Yu will do now?" Wang Shichong's face was gloomy. The loss of so many scouts made Wang Shichong very sad. This also meant that many war horses fell into Li Yu's hands.
Li Yu had indeed not expected that Wang Shichong would be such a rogue, and actually shrink aside and dare not advance. The scouts of the Qihuo Army had already killed five miles away from his camp, but no troops came out. Wang Shichong just shrank in the camp to train his troops. There were shouts of killing in the camp, but he did not send anyone out. The defense was strict, as if he was determined to defend the camp to the death.
"That's good now. Wang Shichong has turned into a turtle and won't come out at all." In front of Wang Shichong's camp, Li Yu was riding a black horse . This was Yu Juluo's warhorse. Now that it was in Li Yu's hands, Li Yu's fighting power increased a lot.
"If Wang Wugui doesn't come out, it means he is waiting for the other two armies. This is not good news for us!" Cen Wenben looked at the camp in the distance and said, "Wang Shichong's 20,000 troops were recruited not long ago. They are young and strong from Jianghuai, fierce and good at fighting. If he is trained, I'm afraid he will be a powerful force. We have to find a way to defeat him."
"From this we can see that Yu Wenzhi, Qu Tutong and Wang Shichong are not of one mind. Otherwise, our encirclement would be getting smaller and smaller." Wu Yunzhao's face was indifferent, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"You pick on the weak and push over the weak. It seems Wang Shichong is not a weak persimmon after all!" Li Yu said quietly while looking at the camp opposite.
