A few days later,

Zhang Xiu led everyone back to the camp.

In the past few days, Zhang Xiu has sent people to beat drums and shout, but Yingyin is like a dead city, there is no response, and even Xu Chu's house has not moved.

In the tent,

"Now that Xun Yu is bent on defending, do you have a good way to break the enemy?" Zhang Xiu looked at everyone and asked.

Everyone glanced at each other, and then Hu Che'er clenched his fists and said angrily: "Lord, give me 3,000 elite soldiers, and you will definitely be able to capture Yingyin within three days." ”

Zhang Xiu rolled her eyes, and said in her heart, you are a calf!

Although he has never led an army to fight, he has seen Sun Tzu's Art of War somewhat. Ten times the siege, five times the attack is still heard of.

In his case, he can only find a way to lure the enemy into a field battle and annihilate him.

"Lord, there are all foot soldiers in Yingyin City, or leave the iron cavalry behind and watch Xun Yu's foot soldiers. Our army's foot soldiers crossed Yingyin and approached Xuchang.

I want to come to Xuchang empty, and see the army approaching the city, or I can surrender without a fight. Wen Ping hesitated and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiu groaned slightly, and looked at Jia Xu, because the latter had been frowning and pondering.

"Wenhe, what do you think of Zhongye's plan?"

"My lord, although General Wen's plan is essential in the art of war, it can be said that it is impossible." Jia Xu frowned and pondered.

"As far as I know, Cao Cao has purchased a lot of war horses with the Xiliang soldiers in recent years and formed an iron cavalry. The general of this iron cavalry commander is Cao Chun, who is Cao Cao's younger brother. ”

"But now that this iron cavalry has disappeared, I am afraid that Xun Yuliu is the backhand, but I am afraid that our army will go straight to Xuchang. Therefore, this iron cavalry should be on standby in the county seat around Yingyin. ”

"What they are waiting for is our army interspersed with battles, so, not to mention 8,000 soldiers, even if 20,000 armor soldiers are in the field, it will be difficult to defeat the iron cavalry."

After speaking, Jia Xu's eyebrows were full of solemnity.

"Tiger and leopard riding?" Zhang Xiu blurted out a sentence and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The Haw Par Cavalry showed great strength after Guandu, but it is unknown when this cavalry was formed.

However, at this time, it was extremely difficult to form a cavalry, and now Cao Chun is in control of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that is being formed.

"Wenhe, are you sure?"

Zhang Xiu squinted his eyes, thinking about it, he still has dozens of boxes of 64 fireworks, this thing can only be heard once, but this is used against the cavalry I am afraid that it will have a miraculous effect, I can't help but ask anxiously.

Jia Xu nodded heavily, "In the early years, Cao Cao had collusion with Li Guo's subordinates, and the ones who bought and sold were war horses. At that time, someone secretly investigated. ”

"Haha, okay, the best way to break the enemy is today."

Zhang Xiu laughed heartily.

The generals couldn't help but look at each other, very puzzled.

"My lord, what do you mean by that?"

Jia Xu prides himself on being a little intelligent, but he is also confused at this time.

"The key to breaking the enemy lies in this Cao Chun."

"If our army really wants to march into Xuchang, then Xun Yu will never sit idly by, and he will definitely order Cao Chun to attack while our army is marching or camping."

"Moreover, if I were Xun Yu, I would also order the infantry to attack the two thousand iron cavalry who stayed in the camp.

In this way, firstly, it can make our army's iron cavalry useless, and secondly, it can cut off the rear road of our army, and the morale of the army will be weakened at that time. The danger of Xuchang was easily solved, and even it could be used to recover the counties of Yingchuan. ”

Zhang Xiu said sonorously.

Listening to Zhang Xiu's narration, Jia Xu nodded approvingly.

Indeed, Xun Yu will not blindly advance lightly, but how can he not see such a fighter plane in front of him.

It's just that if you know this and insist on going your own way, isn't it a moth to a fire and kill itself?

"My lord, since you already know that our army will be defeated, why did you win." Jia Xu was puzzled.

"No, our army will win this battle."

"I have something that can abolish Cao Chun's iron horse." Zhang Xiuyin said.

"Can you abolish Cao Chuntie's ride?"

Everyone in the tent exclaimed in surprise.

Although the iron cavalry is not suitable for charging into formation, if there is no formation in the field, the iron cavalry is completely unilaterally crushed, how to abolish Cao Chun's iron cavalry?

"Is this true?"

Jia Xu's gloomy eyes narrowed, and he was a little chilled, others didn't believe Zhang Xiu, but he did.

"Nature."

"My lord, if this is the case, this plan is feasible."

"When our army doesn't know Cao Chuntie's cavalry, it is common for Xu Chang to be interspersed, and Xun Yu will not be suspicious.

At that time, as long as you can break the enemy's iron cavalry and return to the camp, you will be able to break the enemy army by attacking from both sides, and it will not be difficult to take Yingyin in one fell swoop. ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.

Recognized by Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu became more confident,

Immediately shouted: "Wen Ping listens to the order, tonight you lead the infantry and cavalry to stay in the camp, waiting for Xun Yu to attack, the foot soldiers are on standby, ready to break the enemy at any time." ”

"The last general commands."

"The rest of the generals will listen to the order, prepare the troops, and follow me lightly tonight, walk out of the city, and approach Xuchang." Zhang Xiu raised his voice again.

"Command!"

Then, after discussing some details, they prepared their horses one after another.

……

It's night,

at the gate of the wall,

The three armies were silent, the cold spears flashed in the night, and as for the thousands of soldiers, their faces were cold, most of them had experienced battlefield battles.

Some of the recruits were timid, fearful, and excited.

Because there are military merits on the battlefield, military merits can be promoted, so that you can change two new clothes for your wife and let the children eat something with oil and water.

Leader,

Zhang Xiu stepped down to chase the wind and the sun, holding a tiger-headed golden gun, wearing iron armor, and his tall and mighty figure showed his heroic spirit.

"Let's go!"

The spear pointed at him and shouted violently.

The gate opened, and the soldiers rushed out. There were wooden carts in the array, and Hu Che'er next to the wooden cart was very depressed, and he was sent by Zhang Xiu to take care of these cardboard boxes.

Of course, this time he still has a task, which is to set it on fire after arranging it neatly as required, and he doesn't know the specifics.

In the field outside the camp,

A few scouts were originally dazed and wanted to doze off, but suddenly they saw a large number of people in the camp in the distance, and a large force quietly left the city.

After watching for a while, seeing that they were all foot soldiers, knowing that the big thing was not good, the Wu Chang said in a deep voice: "You guys are staring here, I'll report to Ling Jun." ”

…………

Yingyin,

Shofunai,

The candles flickered, and the generals gathered and waited for battle.

At this time, listening to the scout's words, Xun Yu's eyes froze, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Ling Jun, this embroidery must have seen that our army was closed, and wanted to attack Xuchang, but the defenders of Xuchang were only three thousand, all of whom were old and weak, so don't let him succeed." Cao Hong frowned.

Xun Yu ignored it, but said urgently: "Have you ever seen Zhang Xiu leading the foot riding geometry?" ”

"Hui Lingjun, his subordinates observed by the moonlight, the cavalry is only dozens, I think it is Zhang Xiu's personal guard, and the rest are foot soldiers, I am afraid there are thousands of people."

The scout replied.

"Dozens of rides?" Xun Yu pinched his chin and muttered, and couldn't help frowning, "What a good Jia Xu, he actually left all the iron cavalry in the camp, thinking that it was to prevent our army from returning to help, and he was really desperate to attack Xuchang." ”

"Attack Xuchang? Lingjun, Xuchang cannot afford to lose, otherwise how will we face the lord? Xiahoudun opened his eyes angrily and said urgently.

Xuchang is lost, which is equivalent to Yuzhou giving up, and Yanzhou is full of wars, all of which are scorched earth, and it is difficult to be the foundation, so how can Cao Cao gain a foothold?

Xun Yu is also clear about these.

"Don't worry," Xun Yu's eyebrows stretched slowly, and then he laughed loudly: "Jia Xu, Jia Xu, although you have no last resort, but today you are a hundred secrets, tonight, you will be defeated." ”

The people in the house will be puzzled,

Xu Chu strode out with his sword, and said in a hurry: "Ling Jun, how to defeat the enemy?" I'm suffocated these days. ”

"The generals obey orders." Xun Yu was in high spirits, he had already seen Zhang Xiujun defeated and fled, even though Jia Xu was far-sighted, but he never imagined that he had arranged an iron cavalry outside the city.

"The last general!" The crowd drank together.

"Xiahoudun and Cao Hong listened to the order, and immediately organized the army of 5,000, made food for the third watch, and set off for the fourth watch, and went straight to the enemy camp." Xun Yu said loudly.

Five is the darkest time of the day, and it is also the time when people are the most sleepy and horses are the most lacking, and this time is the best time to sneak attack.

What's more, there are only 2,000 cavalry left in Zhang Xiu's camp to defend the camp, and it is not useful at all.

"No!" The two of them hugged their fists, but there was a lot of confusion in their hearts.

"Cai Fan listens to the order, you lead a thousand foot soldiers, guard Yingyin, unless there is a warrant from me, no one is allowed to open the city gate."

"The last general commands." Cai Fan should go down.

Seeing that Xun Yu didn't react, Xu Chu was anxious, "Ling Jun, what about Xu Chu?" ”

"Haha, don't worry, Zhongkang, you are brave, you should behead Zhang Xiu.

In this way, you immediately go down and prepare, and later go out of the city and go straight to Linying in the starry night. Passed my password to Cao Chun, ordered him to organize the army, the rank of the person, the horse wrapped the hoof, and the fifth watch to cover up and kill Zhang Xiu. ”

"I think that Zhang Xiu has not prepared, and he will be defeated, and then Zhongkang, you will take advantage of the chaos to behead him, and then you will be counted as a great merit."

Xun Yu arranged.

"Hehe, let you rest assured, Chu will cut off the embroidered dog's head and present it to the tent." Xu Chu patted his chest and shouted excitedly.

As everyone was ordered to retreat, the house was empty.

Xun Yu deduced for a while, and felt that there was no problem, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, was this too smooth?

But this whole process is reasonable, Jia Xu didn't know that Cao Chuntie rode in Linying, and it was common sense to make a detour to Xuchang.

…………

At the time of the third watch,

That is, eleven o'clock.

At this time, in Yingyin City, the soldiers were all wearing armor, drinking vegetable soup and eating corn around the stove.

The generals held their swords and constantly inspected their respective divisions and inspected their armor and equipment.

In the blink of an eye, four more.

At this time, the soldiers had already assembled, and Xiahou and Cao Hong stepped on their horses, holding their blades, and their faces were cold with a hint of excitement.

They're waiting,

"Report~, General Xiahou, there is no abnormality in the enemy's camp tent, and there are fewer night vigil sentries than during the day, so I think I have gone to rest because of the fatigue of people and horses."

"Report ~ General, Zhang Xiu's infantry has traveled more than 20 miles to the east, and General Cao Chun is already waiting at the crossing, and there is no abnormality."

A company of two sentinels came to report, and Xiahou Dun, who listened to it, grinned lightly, and couldn't help but raise his knife and shouted: "Let's go, ......."

And Xun Yu next to him was worried, he always felt that something was wrong, was it just because Jia Xu didn't know the existence of Cao Chun's cavalry?

When the three armies had already left the camp, he was still not at ease, "Cai Fan, you lead the army to guard Yingyin, except for my personal order, no one is allowed to open the door without permission." ”

"No," Cai Fan nodded.

"Come on, prepare the horses, and I'll personally go to supervise the battle."
