Outside Guangxin City, Cao Wu's army arrived here, still ten miles away from the city, and began to set up camp and stay here at night.
It was quiet in Guangxin City. Despite this distance, the banner with the word "Cao" on Cao Wujun's banner could be clearly seen at the top of the city. However, the messenger sent to Wu Juna still did not come back, and Wu Ju did not deliver any news here.
At dawn, a Cangwu scout inspected the number of Cao Jun's camps from a distance, then quietly returned to the city and hung it up in a hanging basket.
Wu Ju was waiting here dragging his fat body. Jian Yong looked serious and equally anxious.
"Look clearly, there are about 20,000 people, this is correct!"
As soon as the scouts arrived at the city, they shouted,
Wu Dahuang was overjoyed and patted the city wall and said: "Since they are all here, there must be fewer defenders in Fuchuan, Fengyang and other counties. Presumably, the district general has succeeded at this moment!"
Jian Yong nodded and said: "With mental arithmetic but no care, plus the numerical advantage, coupled with the night attack, there is really no reason not to win! Guangxin City has a lot of food, we only need to defend until the enemy has no food and grass, and the enemy will retreat!"
"That's right! Six thousand men from Qu and Mi attacked Fengyang, and two thousand men from Wang and Hu surrounded Fuchuan. Cao's army will not be able to cross the Five Ridges even with a grain of grass!"
Wu Ju groped for the bricks and stones of the city wall and said excitedly: "Sir, this is a great idea!"
While smiling, he thought to himself that in this way, he could negotiate with the major forces in Cangwu, and his control over Cangwu would be closer.
…
"Great idea! Although Captain Guanqiu is young, he really has the appearance of a famous general! It's not in vain for us to set up more camps to confuse the enemy."
Wei Yan clapped his hands lightly and sighed in admiration.
Because he was not appreciated by Cao Wu, he was currently studying military affairs with Lu Xun.
Lu Xun stayed up all night, but he was young and energetic, and his expression was not sluggish at all. Instead, he said with bright eyes: "Exactly, there is a message from the front. Colonel Guanqiu has three preparations."
"First, dig traps on the hillside so that the enemy troops can attack from the mountain and lose their momentum."
"Second, the two armies came out of the camp and surrounded the enemy in front of the camp gate twenty steps away. Just like the counter-ambush on You Song that day, it was like a turtle in a jar."
"This is the third one..."
Lu Xun and Wei Yan looked at each other and smiled, knowing what the other was thinking.
…
In the camp outside Fengyang City, a fierce battle was going on.
Guanqiu Jian and Xu Huang also led the infantry to attack, but their attack methods were completely different.
Xu Huang rode on horseback and took the lead with his bravery. The three thousand soldiers charged in the direction of the general as if they had been beaten to death. They did not need any instructions, they could only fight to the death.
This is the most commonly used method in the cold weapon era, because most soldiers are illiterate and cannot understand complex general orders, but they always know their generals' flags and generals, and they only need to follow these two things.
Guanqiu Jian was different. No matter where he fought, his infantry maintained their battle formation, one step at a time, and the whole team advanced at the same time.
Seen from a high place, Xu Huang's army is like flowing water and Guanqiu Jian's army is like a square boulder. The two armies tightly squeeze the District Scenery Department in the middle.
When Guan Qiujian pointed out the weak point of the enemy's army, the square boulder turned and cut into the people in the area at an acute angle.
His infantry have all been trained by him personally, and they are as good as his hands.
Only this time, more than ten of Ou Jing's men lost their lives in an instant.
Guanqiu Jian's army was fully equipped with weapons, and every death among Ou Jing's men was caused by the combined efforts of at least three of Guanqiu Jian's men.
District Jing was not entirely mediocre. He had discovered that he had hastily shifted the main attack direction of the soldiers, which exposed flaws in the army.
Ou Jing was ambushed during the night attack, and Ou Jing was extremely anxious. He originally wanted to attack Guanqiu Jian's troops, who had a small number of people, but he did not expect to be cut in by the enemy. He was so frightened that he quickly asked Mi Fang to advance forward.
Mi Fang was also unambiguous. She moved forward with her sword in hand and asked at the same time: "It's tight here, let the reserve army come quickly!"
Ou Jing gritted his teeth and nodded. He came this time and brought 6,000 people with him, but only 4,000 people came down the mountain, because there were still 2,000 people in his reserve force, ready to attack when the war went bad.
The other party is just surrounding him, and the number of troops is not necessarily greater than his own. After a while, the two thousand strong troops descended like tigers descending from the mountain, and he was not afraid of anyone.
These two thousand people were also selected elites. Ou Jing shouted to his men, and the orderly soldier picked up a horn and blew it.
The sound of the horn sounded in the night.
After a fierce battle for less than half an hour, the sky suddenly appeared and the sun was rising.
District Jing turned to look at the mountain, but there was no movement on the mountain.
With a "bang" sound, Guanqiu Jian's troops penetrated deeper and deeper into the army of District Jingbu, and many soldiers died under the strangulation of Guanqiu Jian's infantry.
"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet! Where are the reserves!"
Ou Jing's eyes were about to burst, and the messenger blew the horn again.
"Woo..."
A ray of sunlight shone on the top of the mountain. District Jing looked there, and a human figure finally appeared there.
Ou Jing was overjoyed and shouted: "Hang on, wait..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned.
What he saw was not his own reserve army.
As the sun rose, the outline of the army on the top of the mountain could be seen clearly. Although it was still far away and the appearance could not be seen clearly, the scenery in the area made it certain that it was definitely not one of our own.
Just because those people, every one of them is riding a horse.
He ambushed two thousand infantrymen behind the mountain, but now a large group of cavalry came out.
Unless these two thousand soldiers could raise horses on the spot, how could it be that his people were here!
"this……"
Mi Fang also saw the situation on the top of the mountain, and then more people saw the situation on the top of the mountain.
The soldiers didn't realize what this meant, but Mi Fang thought of it. He glared and said: "The bandits are well ambush, we have fallen into the trap!"
The excitement that just rose up in District Jing disappeared, and he said in despair: "What should we do? What should we do?"
Mi Fang grabbed him and said, "For the current plan, we can only break out quickly! Fortunately, there are cavalry on the top of the rebel army. I don't believe that the cavalry can charge down from the dense forest!"
"It is also!"
Ou Jing grabbed the life-saving straw and said quickly: "The opponent is riding a horse and cannot rush down into the dense forest. Then the situation will remain the same as before. Let's continue to break out!"
After saying that, he ordered everyone to charge, but Guanqiu Jian's army was getting deeper and deeper, and his soldiers could not charge out.
The most important thing is that Ou Jing's shout just now gave many people spiritual strength. They were busy first but learned that not only were there no reinforcements, but there would also be reinforcements from the enemy. Their breath was relieved long ago, and the morale of the soldiers was already gone. Go low.
Mi Fang quickly shouted: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of horses rushing down the mountain! Come with me to break through, break out!"
"Thank you, General!"
Ou Jing walked with Mi Fang and sighed in his heart. He was indeed a famous general who had been fighting in the north for many years. If it weren't for Mi Fang today, he would have been defeated long ago.
After thinking for a while, Ou Jing added: "General, please don't abandon me!"
He was still afraid that Mi Fang would rush out and leave him alone.
"Don't worry, General District. Although I, Mi Zifang, am not brave, I am responsible. I will definitely take General District out!"
"good!"
Ou Jing was in high spirits after receiving this dose of cardiotonic. He was ready to abandon the large army and rush out with a few people. Thinking about it, this shouldn't be a problem.
At this moment, a shout of killing suddenly came from the mountain. District Jing turned around and was stunned.
