The most arrogant in history

Chapter 150: You can use the beauty trap!

Qin Erwu became excited again: "Brother, do you want to rebel and become emperor?"

your sister!

Ye Kun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stared:

"Put away your words of rebellion from now on. You and I are brothers, loyal to the king and the country, how can you say such treasonous words?"

Qin Erwu stuck out his tongue.

"Our target is Dongba County."

Ye Kun lowered his voice, told his plan, and then ordered:

"Jiang Laowu, Wang Dagui, and Zhao Biao, each with a thousand brothers, will head to Dongba County in three groups, advancing together. If you encounter refugees and bandits, recruit them all you can. Bandits who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy!

Qin Erwu and I will lead 3,000 main forces and follow. Shangguan Jifu will go west along the river by water to cooperate with us.

Everyone, prepare yourselves, and send out the troops early tomorrow morning. Keep it secret!"

Everyone received orders and prepared their troops separately.

The next morning, the army marched across Xiping Mountain and headed westward.

Six groups of scouts, with the selected refugees from Dongba County as guides, explored the way forward.

Ye Kun arrived a day later and led the main force forward.

The territory of Dongba County has become a wasteland, with bones scattered all over the ground and no one living within a thousand miles.

Those large clans and villages all moved to the mountains, hunting, fishing, and digging tree roots to survive, while also resisting harassment from bandits.

Ye Kun's vanguard troops all carried two large flags with large characters embroidered on them:

Hirano Yekun, suppress bandits and protect the people!

Because Ye Kun was so kind and righteous, many people in Dongba County knew his name.

Wherever the big flag went, vagrants from the mountains came to join it.

Some of the bandits surrendered, some fled, but none dared to start a fight.

Jiang Laowu, Wang Dagui and Zhao Biao of the vanguard team, according to Ye Kun's instructions, selected the strongest among the vagrant bandits to accompany the army, while the others stayed where they were, were given some food, and waited for resettlement.

Advance all the way without any hindrance.

Three days later, Ye Kun's main force was only forty miles away from Dongba City and camped in the valley.

The troops of Jiang Laowu and others were stationed within ten miles.

The scout reported: "Master Ye, Wu Xuan, a famous general in Dongba County, led 3,000 troops and stationed them at Tieya Mountain in the east of the city, more than 20 miles away from our army. Wu Xuan did not move his troops, and seemed to be monitoring our actions!"

Ye Kun sent out scouts to deliver the message:

"Jiang Laowu and Zhao Biao, gather your troops together and pretend to be bandits. Tomorrow morning, attack Wu Xuan's army. Wang Dagui will lead his troops to bypass Ma Tou Ling overnight and block Wu Xuan's retreat. Our troops will act in the middle of the night and attack Tieya Mountain directly!"

"Order!"

The scout rode away on horseback.

Huangfu Lin followed the army and said with a smile:

"Master Ye, do you want to annihilate Wu Xuan's army? Wu Xuan is a brave man who is unmatched by ten thousand men. He is the best general in Badong. He is no less capable than our four young masters in leading troops in battle."

"Wu Xuan is a famous general from Badong. He has some prestige. It would be best if I could use him."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "If he is unwilling to surrender, I will have no choice but to kill him."

Huangfu Lin nodded: "Tomorrow our army will besiege Tieya Mountain, and then find a way to recruit Wu Xuan. Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties. Wu Xuan is less than 30 years old, so we can use the beauty trap to recruit him."

Ye Kun laughed: "It turns out that Wu Xuan is also a man of temperament!"

The third watch.

Ye Kun left most of the baggage in the camp and led his elite troops to attack Tieya Mountain.

After dawn, the shouts and cries of killing shook the sky at the foot of Tieya Mountain.

Jiang Laowu and Zhao Biao's troops, pretending to be bandits, are fighting against Wu Xuan's army.

Wu Xuan originally thought that the other party was a mob and was careless.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they started fighting, his subordinates were shot down by powerful crossbows. Wu Xuan couldn't help but get furious, and ordered the heavily armored and shielded soldiers to clear the way and charge into the enemy's formation.

Jiang Laowu and his men fought and retreated, using wire and trenches to block pursuit.

Wu Xuan rushed down the mountain and saw the wire trenches. He was immediately awakened and raised his gun and shouted:

"This is not a roving bandit force, but Ye Kun's plains force. Retreat quickly and retreat to Tieya Mountain!"

A smart person is a smart person.

Wu Xuan himself couldn't come up with this kind of wire trench tactics, so how could the bandits do it?

So Wu Xuan determined that this was Ye Kun’s army!

But it's too late.

Wang Da Kui led more than a thousand soldiers and launched an attack behind Tieya Mountain.

Wu Xuan didn't know how many enemy troops were behind him, and he was terrified. He shouted, "Attack north and return to Dongba City!"

"Kill--!"

In the northern valley, Qin Erwu led a large army and rushed forward, arrows raining down.

Wu Xuan was surrounded by enemies on all sides and had to retreat back to Tieya Mountain and order his troops to hold out.

Ye Kun ordered: "Block Tieya Mountain from all sides and do not attack it."

Seven or eight thousand soldiers surrounded the small Tieya Mountain tightly.

Wu Xuan was furious and yelled at the top of the hill:

"Ye Kun, you little bastard, you attacked my troops under the pretext of crossing the border to suppress bandits. What do you mean by that?"

Ye Kun called a few prisoners and ordered:

"Go tell Wu Xuan that Tieya Mountain has been besieged by me. He has no choice but to surrender. He can fight to the death and live up to his reputation of loyalty. However, his three thousand brothers will die with him."

Several prisoners nodded and limped away.

After a while, loud cursing was heard from the mountain again.

Wu Xuan stood on the top of the mountain and shouted loudly:

"Ye Kun, listen to me. In Badong, there are only beheaded generals, and no surrendered generals! I have received great favors from my lord Liu Dongliang, how can I surrender to you?"

Ye Kun laughed: "What a strong and brave General Wu Xuan. Do you have the courage to go down the mountain and fight?"

Wu Xuan shouted, "I dare to come down the mountain. Do you dare to fight me in a one-on-one duel?"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Ye Kun was scared and ordered his men: "Set fire to the mountain. If anyone dares to show his head, we will target them!"

One-on-one combat has always been Ye Kun’s weakness, and he would never dare to play the hero.

The stone-throwing vehicles at the back have been delivered one after another and are being assembled on the spot.

Then, sulfur incendiary bombs kept flying towards the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, there were flashes of fire and fog on the top of the mountain.

Wu Xuan and his men were all coughing and shouting loudly.

Ye Kun's crossbowmen advanced upwards from the gentle slope, attacking the enemy wherever they saw them, shrinking the encirclement inch by inch.

Ye Kun stepped back and ordered Qin Erwu:

"Erwu, lead 5,000 troops to surround Dongba City and prevent Liu Dongliang from escaping. Shangguan Jifu should be here with his troops by now."

Qin Erwu was a little worried: "Brother, if I take away 5,000 troops, can you hold off Wu Xuan?"

There are about 8,000 troops here. If we take away 5,000, there won't be many left.

Ye Kun waved his hand: "Wu Xuan has lost several games in a row and no longer has the courage to go down the mountain. You go quickly!"

Qin Erwu nodded and led his troops to raid Dongba City.

Ye Kun ordered to continue the siege of Tieya Mountain and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

The mountain had been almost completely burned down, and Wu Xuan didn't have any food or fodder, so he couldn't hold out for long.

Sure enough, Wu Xuan also knew his weaknesses, and in the middle of the morning, he tried to break through.

But Ye Kun had countless bows and crossbows, and he was well-rested, killing every one who came his way, and forced Wu Xuan to retreat again and again.

In the afternoon, a scout came on horseback to report: "Lord Ye, Dongba County has been surrounded by Shangguan Jifu and Qin Erwu. Liu Dongliang can't escape even if he has wings!"

Ye Kun's evil plan succeeded and he laughed out loud.

The scout continued, "Lord Shangguan said that Lord Ye should make a quick decision and transfer troops back to defend Pingye County to prevent the Jingzhou army from raiding our base camp."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Go back and tell Lord Shangguan that Pingye County and Xiping Mountain are impregnable and there is absolutely no risk."

Wei Dingshan of Jingzhou is an old man. He is very concerned about his reputation and will not launch a surprise attack on Pingye County.

Ye Kun also respected Wei Dingshan, so how could Wei Dingshan not respect himself?

After the scouts left, Huangfu Lin suggested: "Lord Ye, you can send someone to persuade him to surrender again to show your kindness. If Wu Xuan still refuses to surrender, launch a general attack."

Because of several battles, Wu Xuan suffered heavy casualties and his combat effectiveness is no longer strong.

Ye Kun pondered: "Who should we send to persuade them to surrender?"

"I'll go!" Huangfu Lin volunteered.

"That's not right. What if Wu Xuan gets a brain cramp and kills you? Wouldn't that mean I'll lose a great general?"

"Master Ye, I see that there are no more curses on the mountain, and it seems that he has given in. I should be fine if I go up now."

"Let's shout and ask first."

Ye Kun nodded and ordered the loud-voiced soldiers in the army to shout in unison: "Please ask General Wu to come out and speak!"

Wu Xuan responded immediately. Under the protection of the shield soldiers, he came to the front of the battle formation and shouted, "General Ye, what do you have to say?"

Judging from his tone, he has indeed become soft.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "General Wu, Dongba City has been captured by my generals Qin Erwu and Shangguan Jifu. Why don't you surrender now? When will you surrender? Do you really want to bury all your three thousand brothers in Tieya Mountain?"
