After that, the team was divided into two teams, and because Jiang Yun insisted on refusing to recuperate from his wounds and had to go with the army, Jin Yuanwu handed over 1,500 infantry to him to command and ambushed him at Shiquanpo. He personally led a thousand cavalry to engage the enemy.

Not long after the army went out of the city in pursuit, it was detected by the enemy, and according to the report of the sentry horse, the enemy army had set up camp in front of them, and did not advance any further, as if waiting for them.

Jin Yuanwu did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to the battle.

It didn't take long for the team to come into contact with the enemy, and on an open ground, the enemy had already lined up and waited for a long time.

This was Jin Yuanwu's first time on the battlefield, but he felt that it was much easier to fight the enemy like this than to make decisions in the city.

Since the enemy sent someone to shout before and was shot by Jin Yuanwu, they didn't talk any more nonsense this time, and rushed over directly, Jin Yuanwu shouted: "Rush! ”

Shouting, he took the lead in rushing towards the enemy troops.

Not long after making contact with the enemy, Jin Yuanwu shouted: "Retreat!" ”

However, it was not easy for the cavalry to turn, and these soldiers had not undergone this kind of training before, and the formation was extremely chaotic when retreating, and the casualties were not small, but they also succeeded in leading the enemy to Shiquanpo.

When passing by the side of the hill, Jin Yuanwu turned his head to look, and his heart sank suddenly, and the enemy army actually stopped and did not continue the pursuit.

Jin Yuanwu stopped the army and sent people to provoke and curse the enemy, but the enemy still did not chase into the valley, Jin Yuanwu realized that it was useless to confront the other party again, and directly led the team up the hill to meet Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun sighed: "General Jin, it seems that they have seen through the ambush. ”

Jin Yuanwu condescended, looked at the enemy army below, and asked, "Why don't you rush down like this?" ”

Jiang Yun shook his head and said: "The enemy's formation is neat, and at a glance, you can know that after a long period of training, they only need to spread the two wings at that time, and the Chinese army will retreat, and they will be able to surround our army." ”

"Then we just need to break through the encirclement, their two wings are spread, the Chinese army will inevitably be weak, maybe by rushing downward, we can break through their Chinese army." Han Lin, commander of the first battalion, said.

Jiang Yun muttered: "But if we can't rush through, the whole army will be annihilated, and now we are waiting to occupy a high place, it is better to wait for the enemy to take the initiative to attack." ”

"What if they ignore us and go directly to Hui'an Mansion?" Jin Yuanwu asked.

"We're standing here, we can see their movements clearly, if they plan to retreat, the formation will inevitably change, we can go down and kill for a while, and when they react, we can retreat."

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, Jin Yuanwu glanced at Jiang Yun, it seems that he has long thought about the situation that the enemy is not ambushed, and the military talent he shows is obviously above himself.

The confrontation between the two armies lasted until the next morning, Jin Yuanwu did not sleep until the second half of the night, and as soon as he woke up, he got up and looked down the slope, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the enemy army was still below by the moonlight.

Suddenly, he noticed that Jiang Yun in the distance was looking at the enemy army below, his mouth was full of words, but his face was extremely pale, he stepped forward and asked, "Captain Jiang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"More than 3,000 people, only more than 3,000!" Jiang Yun's face turned pale.

"What, just over 3,000 people?"

Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and said: "After they attacked the city that day, there should be more than 4,000 people, but now there are only more than 3,000 people at the foot of the mountain!" ”

Jin Yuanwu was taken aback and asked, "Did they secretly send more than a thousand people to go elsewhere last night?" ”

"Impossible, I've been staring here all night, their formation is exactly the same as when they chased after them yesterday, there is no division of troops, damn it, why didn't I notice that they were a thousand less at that time!" Jiang Yun roared, his voice full of self-reproach.

"These thousand people shouldn't be going to Hui'an Mansion, right?" Jin Yuanwu said in a trembling voice.

"I'm not worried about going to Hui'an Mansion." Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Lu still has a personal guard under him, Hui'an City has thick walls, and there are so many cloud crossbows, it is impossible for a thousand people to fight down, what I am worried about now is that they have gone to Kaihua City, where there is no defense force now, just afraid"

Jin Yuanwu was stunned, and then his whole body began to tremble, Kaihua City now has no city defense camp, if someone attacks, I am afraid that it will fall immediately.

"I finally know why they're so quiet down there." Jiang Yun smiled bitterly.

"For... Why? ”

"They want to trap us, as long as Kaihua City is lost, we will have no supplies, and sooner or later we will take the initiative to go down and fight them."

At the foot of Shiquan Slope, in the military camp of the Anhua Army, Chen Shu rode a horse, squinted his eyes and looked up, and he could see many figures in the distance, he smiled and said: "Deputy General Lu, how long do you think they can last?" ”

"I want to come here for a day or two at most." Vice General Lu said with a smile: "They would never have thought that when the general made a detour, they would make all the arrangements, leaving a thousand military horses south of Kaihua, if they dare to go out of the city to fight with the main force of our army, this army and horses will take Kaihua City, even if they don't go out of the city, this army can also stay to respond." ”

"It's not that I'm smart, it's that the enemy commander is too incompetent." Chen Shu said lightly: "Now I want not only Kaihua City, but also the total annihilation of the enemy army!" ”

"It's bad luck to meet the enemy defender and the general!" Vice Admiral Lu laughed.

"By the way, why hasn't the food delivery team arrived over there yet?" Chen Shu frowned.

"I think it's almost there."

"Send someone to urge again!"

"Yes!"

An hour later, a cavalryman rode from afar, and when he approached, he saw that he was covered in blood, extremely embarrassed, Chen Shu recognized this person as the main general he sent to attack Kaihua City, and was shocked in his heart, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"General, Kaihua City has been recaptured by the rebels again!"

"How so?" Chen Shu panicked: "What the hell is going on? They have reinforcements? ”

"Yes, General, last night"

"Wait!" Chen Shu gritted his teeth and interrupted him: "That is to say, their reinforcements have blocked our back road, tell me on the way, let's go back along the path we came from now, otherwise we are afraid that we will become a turtle in someone's urn!" ”

"Yes."

Along the way, the more Chen Shu listened, the more frightened he became, although the enemy reinforcements were less than 2,000 people, 500 of them were wearing the uniforms of the Anhua Army, pretending to be Xie Yuchen's troops outside Kaihua City, saying that Xie Yuchen's troops were defeated and they were being chased and killed by more than 1,000 Hui'an troops.

The Anhua army in the city did not suspect that there was him, and let them in, but they immediately joined forces with the outside and let other rebels enter the city, the morale of the rebels was extremely high, and the number was more than the Anhua army in the city, plus the people in the city supported the Hui'an army, and finally the Hui'an army won the melee in the city.

What worries Chen Shu the most is that the enemy army is wearing the uniform of the Anhua Army, which shows that the situation on Xie Yuchen's side is likely to deteriorate, he has always been the most obedient to Xie Yuchen, knowing that his ability to lead troops is far above his own, since the enemy's reinforcements can make him suffer, they must be elite.

Now that the enemy doesn't know how many reinforcements there are, Xie Yuchen doesn't know what to do, he has become more and more cautious, and decided to retreat to Xinzhou first, and then make plans.

On the way back, he faintly had a suspicion in his heart, the Hui'an army had other directions to defend, it was impossible for so many troops to be reinforced, and the situation in front of him was likely to be Wu Yueguo's shot, if this was the case, he had to report to the marshal.

I don't know if he retreated in time, the enemy did not ambush on the path, he was able to successfully bypass back to the south of Kaihua City, Chen Shu did not hesitate, led the troops back to Xinzhou, and prepared to report the situation to Cheng Tai, the commander of the right.

On the other side, when Jin Yuanwu found that the enemy army was retreating in the direction of Kaihua City, he looked at Jiang Yunmian with each other, and several other generals saw the movement and also walked over.

"General, do you want to pursue?" Han Lin asked.

Jin Yuanwu looked at Jiang Yun and asked, "Captain Jiang, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Yun had been a little master since he found out that the other party was missing a thousand people, and he suspected that Kaihua City had been lost, so he shook his head and said, "The general decides for himself." ”

Jin Yuanwu pondered for a long time and said, "The south they are going to, we don't need to pursue, let's go directly to Hui'an City." "Although he lost Kaihua City, his troops are still there, and if he goes to Hui'an City, he can strengthen the defense of Hui'an City.

"I agree, as long as Hui'an City is not lost, Kaihua City can still be recaptured." Chen Mo hurriedly agreed.

At this moment, a horse flew from the bottom of the hillside, but was stopped by his own sergeant halfway up the mountain, and a herald said: "General, General Meng of the guerrilla army has sent you a letter. ”

Hearing the guerrillas, Jin Yuanwu was surprised and delighted, and shouted, "Quickly bring it up." ”

After reading the contents of the letter, Jin Yuanwu was really overjoyed, but he didn't expect Meng Xiao to be so good that he actually recaptured Kaihua City from the enemy.

"General, what's wrong?" Jiang Yun noticed the joy on Jin Yuanwu's face and hurriedly asked.

"Kaihua City has been recaptured by the guerrillas!" Jin Yuanwu said with relief.

"Really?" Jiang Yun was a little surprised.

Chen Mo said excitedly: "That's still false, I heard that General Meng of the guerrilla army used to be a famous general in Xuanzhou, otherwise he wouldn't have just been attached and was appointed as a guerrilla general by Lu Jieshuai!" ”

"Okay, let's go back and talk about this matter, give the order, and the whole army will march towards civilization!" Jin Yuanwu ordered.
