After the million-strong army transferred from the Sacred Domain was in place, Zhao Chun left Wang Zhen to lead 500,000 troops to stay in the capital and passages, and the rest of the more than 1 million troops were personally led by him to attack the south.

Zhao Chun's army was overwhelming all the way, and in just five days, it connected to the three cities, and basically did not encounter decent resistance, and arrived at Hucheng, an important town in the south.

That night, Zhao Chun's army surrounded Hucheng and prepared to launch a general attack at midnight.

The Bhati army is responsible for guarding the Tiger City is General Qin Huaizhong, this person has a lot of military talent, won the weight of Bhatti, is one of Bati's left arms and right arms, this time Bhatti sent him to lead 600,000 troops to guard Hucheng, requiring him to hold on for more than three days, and then Bhatti will gather a million troops from the south to come to support, be sure to fight to the death with Zhao Chun.

At this time, after Qin Huaizhong saw that Zhao Chun surrounded Hucheng with lightning speed, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly summoned his staff to discuss the strategy.

Some staff suggested that he abandon the city and break through the siege, and then have a chance to join up with the southern army before making plans; some staff suggested that the felons in the prison and the women and children in the city should be escorted to the front of the army, and Zhao Chun's army would not dare to launch an attack, so that time could be delayed, and when the supporting army arrived, it could attack inside and outside and defeat the enemy.

But Qin Huaizhong disagreed with these proposals, and said: "With the strength of our army, it is not difficult to avoid a decisive battle with the enemy, the difficulty is how to defeat them, only by defeating them and making them dare not attack will we create conditions for our counteroffensive in the future, otherwise just like the last battle, it is clear that our army has an absolute advantage, and in the end it is still defeated by them, making them increasingly powerful, which is the disaster of our country." I ask you to work hard to show the courage to defeat the enemy and defeat all enemies who dare to provoke us. ”

"But Mr. Qin, now that the enemy has surrounded Hucheng, if we don't want to come up with a good strategy to break the enemy, I'm afraid we will all become prisoners tomorrow, so why work hard?" said a staff member.

"Hmph, it's all a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, usually talking on paper every day, saying how invincible and invincible in the world, but when they really go into battle, they only think about how to escape, what's the use of raising you?

"Mr. Qin, the young general has a plan, and I don't know if it will work. An officer sitting at the end whispered, this person is just a major general, he has no prestige in the army, and he has no background, and he has always been the target of everyone's exclusion, but half a year ago, because of his great contribution in the war with Zhao Guo, he was exceptionally promoted.

"Oh, you say, come and listen. Qin Huaizhong was a little surprised and said busily.

"I think we can send someone to tell the enemy commander that we surrender......" As soon as he said halfway, the people in the conference room burst into laughter, they originally thought that this guy would have some clever plan, but he was going to surrender directly, it was really laughing to death.

Qin Huaizhong held back the anger in his heart and said, "Let him finish his words." ”

"My idea is this, we let people pretend to surrender, and after the enemy believes us, we can take the opportunity to put forward some conditions, such as retaining the strength of the troops, asking them to make Qin the commander of the south, etc., the more and more detailed the conditions, the better. They are anxious to unify the country of Huoyan, and if they want to end the war as soon as possible, they will definitely agree to our request, and they will not have too many suspicions, after all, they have the upper hand now. When we have infiltrated their barracks and found out their strength, and then suddenly launch a rebellion, they will be caught off guard and will surely be defeated by us, and great things will be done. The major general spoke as if he had everything under control.

"This ......" Qin Huaizhong was silent, if it is operated well, this is undoubtedly an excellent strategy, which can achieve the greatest victory at a very small price, but if it is not operated well and is recognized by the enemy, it is possible to lose everything, and the risk is relatively large, so he is a little hesitant.

"Mr. Qin, I think this strategy is good and should work. "Some staff members said, they can't come up with any clever plans themselves, and they have been scolded by Qin Huaizhong as a waste, and now someone has finally come up with a clever plan, so they naturally have to support it, otherwise, the credit will be robbed by others, and they will have nothing to do.

"I think we should fight them first and then pretend to be defeated, so that surrender is more real and it is easier to gain their trust, otherwise if they are on guard against us, our strategy will fail. Another general said, it is very stupid to oppose this strategy at such a time, because Mr. Qin is obviously already moved, it is better to add bricks and tiles to cater to him.

"Okay, the staff will come up with a detailed plan in an hour, and then everyone will go their separate ways according to the plan. This matter must be kept secret, and if anyone reveals the slightest rumor, I will ask for his head. Qin Huaizhong said, setting the tone for this matter.

At ten o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden rumbling cannon sound in the city, and countless artillery fire fell on Zhao Chun's position, which made Zhao Chun surprised, and said in his heart, could it be that the enemy already knew that he was going to launch a general attack tonight, so he was ready to break through in advance?

Zhao Chun immediately ordered the troops under artillery fire to retreat five kilometers, and at the same time to prepare to encircle and annihilate the enemy's breakthrough troops.

After the enemy's artillery bombardment lasted for half an hour, a large number of enemy troops poured out from the south gate, and Zhao Chun's army, which had been waiting for a long time in the distance, poured out thousands of artillery at this time, pouring towards the enemy.

The enemy could not withstand the fierce fighting, and soon retreated back into the city, leaving only the corpses in one place.

After the failure of this breakout, the enemy launched another breakthrough operation in the early hours of the morning, but it still ended in failure.

In this way, Zhao Chun was not in a hurry to attack, he knew that the enemy in the city was even more anxious than him, he only needed to pay close attention to the movements of Bati's reinforcements now, as long as Bati's reinforcements approached, he would launch an attack. Although he also knew that the siege was the next strategy, which would cause many innocent casualties among the city's residents, and the casualties of his siege troops would be relatively large, there was no way to do it.

He also tried to contact the old man Wang and the Nine Hall Master who were still in the city, but he didn't know if it was Bati's army that implemented electromagnetic shielding or something, and he couldn't contact them, so Zhao Chun had to send someone to sneak into the city in order to get in touch with them, and at the same time to find out the truth in a city, otherwise this battle would not be easy to fight.
