When Yan Liang led 10,000 cavalry to rush to the outside of Shangquyang County.

However, he received news from the defenders of the city: after the 5,000-strong Fenwu army had made a show of strength here yesterday, they had withdrawn to the south, and there has been no news so far.

At the same time, Meng Dai outside Xiaquyang County and Yuan Shang outside Zhongqiu County in Zhao County both got similar news.

Yuan Shao's rescue men and horses have arrived, but the people and horses attacking the Fenwu Army have not yet arrived, which is not logical.

Yan Liang and Meng Dai are both loyal generals under Yuan Shao.

Although they don't have the 'fancy intestines' of the strategists, they know one thing: that is, if there is any situation, they will report it to Yuan Shao as soon as possible.

Yes, after Yan Liang set up camp in Shangquyang County and Meng Dai set up camp in Xiaquyang County, the first thing he did was to send fast horses to report the situation he had encountered to Yuan Shao of Changshan County.

Only then did a large number of scouts be sent to find traces of the Fenwu army.

But Yuan Shang of Zhongqiu County, Zhao County, did not do this.

Yuan Shang, whose name is Xianfu, is tall and handsome, very much like Yuan Shao, and is Yuan Shao's favorite youngest son.

is often favored by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao once said to his cronies: When he dies, he will inherit his official title and title to Yuan Shang.

Because of this, Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, second son Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shao's subordinates were very dissatisfied with Yuan Shang.

thinks that Yuan Shang has no talent, but he inherited Yuan Shao in appearance to take advantage.

After all, the paper can't contain the fire. The 'rumors' who were dissatisfied with Yuan Shang still reached Yuan Shang's ears.

Yuan Shang was young and vigorous, and he not only inherited Yuan Shao's appearance, but also inherited Yuan Shao's face-loving character, how could he stand such an insult?

Although he really doesn't have much ability, he just knows this kind of thing, how can he let others talk about it.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao went to Changshan County this time, Yuan Shang took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in Yecheng to show his ability and block the mouths of dissatisfied people.

Yuan Shao was very happy to see that his favorite son could share his worries, so he readily agreed to Yuan Shang's request, and left Yuan Shang with five generals and 30,000 elite soldiers.

I don't know if it's intentional or deliberate.

Yuan Shao didn't leave any advisors to Yuan Shang, probably because Yuan Shao wanted to see Yuan Shang's performance.

Within seven days of Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops, Yuan Shang only prepared grain and grass and handled government affairs every day, and his heart gradually became irritable: "Yecheng is surrounded by heavy guards, and I can't do much in Yecheng." ”

When he was depressed, he suddenly received an order from Yuan Shao to lead his troops north to Zhongqiu County, Zhao County, to resist the Fenwu Army.

After Yuan Shang received the order, he said in his heart: "The opportunity to perform himself has finally come." He immediately ordered 15,000 men and horses and went straight to Zhongqiu County, Zhao County.

As a result, when he arrived in Zhongqiu County, Yuan Shang was stunned, there was nothing, how could he behave?

Yuan Shang was not reconciled, and sent a large number of scouts to find the traces of the Fenwu Army, but did not send anyone to tell Yuan Shao about the situation in Zhongqiu County, Zhao County at this time.

Zhongqiu County, Zhao County is the closest place to Yuan Shao's camp in Changshan County, and according to the speed of a fast horse, you can walk back and forth in one day.

If Yuan Shang could send someone to tell Yuan Shao the news here in time, with the wisdom of Yuan Shao's many strategists, someone would definitely guess Sima Yi's intentions.

......

At this time, under the city of Shangai County, the battle between the Fenwu Army and Yuan Shaojun was in full swing.

The defenders of the city were 40,000 Fenwu troops, and the attackers under the city were 80,000 troops led by Ju Yi.

According to Yuan Shaojun's exploration, the number of Fenwu troops in Shangai County was less than 40,000.

After getting the news, Ju Yi launched a fierce attack on Shangai County.

Take advantage of your small number of soldiers to ask for your city. It's something any general likes to do.

I saw that on the top of the city, arrows rained down and boulders rolled; And under the city, all kinds of siege weapons were taken out one after another and used in siege cities.

In this offensive and defensive battle, Zhang Liao and the generals of the Fenwu Army learned a lot of practical experience from Ju Yi and accumulated valuable wealth.

After a whole day of siege battles, Ju Yi still failed to break through Zhang Liao's defense line and take Shangai County.

But Ju Yi was confident that with Yuan Shaojun's ability at this time, he would take Shangai County within three days and beat Han Cheng to the ground.

In the evening, whether it was the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army who was besieging the city, or the soldiers of the Fenwu army who were in charge of defense, they all looked exhausted.

So, under the orders of the commanders of both sides, the soldiers temporarily withdrew their troops and returned to the camp, rested for the night, and prepared to fight again tomorrow.

It was night, and it was past the hour, about the third watch, which was the sleepiest time of the day for a person.

The city gate in Shangai County, near the side of Yuan Shao's camp, quietly opened.

A group of elite probe horses rushed out, and within a moment, Yuan Shaojun's probe horses outside the city were all pulled out.

After the removal of the horses, the soldiers of the 30,000 Fenwu army took about 300 cattle and went out of the city gate in an orderly manner.

When they arrived two miles away from Yuan Shaojun's camp, the soldiers tied two sharp knives to the horns of each ox, and two spears to the ox, and then tied a bundle of oil-soaked reeds to the tail of the ox and lit the reed bundles.

As soon as the fire was angry, the cow's buttocks hurt, and they rushed towards Yuan Shao's camp.

Behind more than 300 cows, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army put on their armor, lined up their formations, showed their weapons, and rushed to Yuan Shaojun's camp with the order of the main general Pan Feng to "kill".

It turned out that before the night attack, Han Cheng's staff member Xu Shu said to Han Cheng:

"Ju Yi is a battle-hardened general, even if he didn't expect us to dare to steal the camp tonight, there will inevitably be many obstacles and traps outside the camp to prevent us from stealing the camp.

If we rush forward to attack, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses; It is better for us to adopt the strategy of the 'Fire Ox Array' of Tian Dan, the general of Qi State, to break through obstacles and traps with the fire ox first, and then the army will cover and kill. ”

After listening to Xu Shu's words, Han Cheng immediately said, "This plan is good! ”

Therefore, in this night attack, the first thing was to use the tactics of the 'Fire Bull Array' to break through the periphery of Yuan Shaojun's camp.

In the eyes of the galloping 'fire bull', there were no obstacles or traps, only that his buttocks were burned by the fire, and then he rushed forward.

At this time, in Yuan Shaojun's camp,

Except for the more than 10,000 soldiers in charge of the night defense, who were still awake and heavily guarded, the rest were all asleep.

Because of the fatigue of the day, I slept very soundly.

The sudden 'fire bull' was like falling from the sky, and the heavily guarded Yuan Shaojun camp was instantly broken by the 'fire cow'.

Yuan Shaojun's soldiers were also stabbed or injured by the galloping 'fire bull' in their sleep.

Ju Yi was also shocked, he didn't expect that the sparse Fenwu army would dare to take advantage of the night to sneak attack the camp.

Seeing the chaos everywhere in the camp, Ju Yi did not panic, but was full of war intent in his heart.

"Let you go out of the city, and you will not come out. Now that you're here, don't go. The mutton delivered to the door, is there a reason not to eat it? ”

Ju Yi calmly said to the heralds on the side: "You should quickly inform the commanders of the armies, so that they can stabilize the order of the armies and not cause panic." At the entrance to the camp, leave it to me! But I could only hold out for a quarter of an hour at most. ”

After Ju Yi finished speaking, he said to Ju Song, the captain of his own army: "You quickly go and tell the 'first camp' and let them gather at the entrance of the main camp."

After the 'Fire Ox', there will be a great army coming.

For night attacks, cavalry is definitely the best choice, and there are many cavalry in the Fenwu army. ”

Ju Song turned away, and just as he walked to the exit of the tent, Ju Yi's voice sounded again, with a hint of concern in his tone.

"Tell them to just hold on for a quarter of an hour."

'First Camp' was trained by Ju Yi, and every soldier was like a brother to Ju Yi.

Because of the urgency of the situation, Ju Yi had to make the most calm judgment in the first time, and sent the well-trained 'Xiandeng Battalion' to the place where it was most needed.

......

'First Camp' really deserves to be the strongest army in the world.

Even if the 'Fire Bull' rushed into Yuan Shaojun's camp, there was not a trace of panic in the rest area of the entire 'First Camp'.

Each soldier put on his armor, took his weapon, and waited for the commander's order at any time.

When Ju Song brought Ju Yi's order, the 'first camp' immediately formed a military formation and marched quickly towards the entrance of the camp.

When the soldiers who 'ascended the camp first' arrived at the entrance of Yuan Shaojun's camp and were just ready for defense, they heard the sound of the Fenwu army attacking.

In the face of the dark night, the soldiers who 'arrived in the camp first' reacted as soon as possible, took out the bows and arrows behind them, mounted the arrows, and faced a rain of arrows in front of them.

However, Ju Yi guessed wrong.

In the attacking army of the Fenwu Army, it was not the cavalry that fought in the front, but the three thousand Xuanwu Army led by Pan Feng, and behind them were the cavalry such as the Qinglong Army.

The Xuanwu army fought in the front, first, because they were hard enough.

No matter what the attack of any weapon such as swords, guns, bows and arrows, there was no effect on their bodies except for the sound of 'ping pong'.

The second is because their physical strength is limited, and they must be used rationally.

Attack the camp, but run around the camp and kill the enemy.

The Xuanwu army was heavily armored and very slow, and this kind of fighting everywhere was their drawback.

It is better to place them at the entrance of the large camp, which can be used to break down the camp gate when attacking; Blocks enemy forces when retreating.

It not only takes advantage of their 'invulnerable' defense, but also maximizes their physical strength.

Braving the rain of arrows that 'landed in the camp first', the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army took great strides and still moved forward.

When the soldiers who 'ascended to the camp first' saw the 'Tiegada' rushing towards them one by one, they did not retreat out of fear, but because they did not receive the order to retreat.

Although the soldiers of the 'first camp' also knew the strength of the Xuanwu army, the soldiers of the 'first camp' had only one choice - that is, to do it.

"The first to the dead, there is death and no life."

It is not just a slogan, but the military spirit of 'first to camp'.

In the face of the 'invulnerable' Xuanwu Army, the soldiers of the 'first camp' were like moths fighting fire, knowing that they were dead, but they still rushed forward without fear of death.

They used their lives to buy time for Yuan Shaojun's other soldiers to survive.

As the saying goes, "My greatest thing is to be able to protect life with my life." ”

Pan Feng, the chief general of the Xuanwu Army, also saw the purpose of 'boarding the camp first': to attack as defense and delay the time for the Fenwu army to enter Yuan Shao's camp.

He shouted to the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army: "Open the way." ”

After hearing Pan Feng's order, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army rushed to both sides to make way for the army behind.

The advantage of the Xuanwu Army's 'invulnerability' was once again vividly displayed.

No matter how many weapons you use to hit me, I am not afraid at all, and I am still as steady as Mount Tai.

My command is to open a path, and I will squeeze you on both sides and kill you; My order is to guard the gate, and I will not let you pass.

Anyway, you can't hurt me, it's not as strong as mine.

After a dozen breaths, a path appeared in the middle of the Xuanwu army.

After Zhao Yun was in the Xuanwu Army, he was already impatient and rushed into Yuan Shao's camp first.

Exactly: "Man is like a dragon, a horse is like a tiger, an ape is like an ape in the mountains, and a water is like a se." ”

Zhao Yun alone, like Mount Tai, fiercely suppressed Yuan Shaojun's soldiers.

"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here! Why don't you surrender on your knees? When the soldiers in Yuan Shao's army saw Zhao Yun coming, they gave up resistance and turned to flee.

Zhao Yun's shout spread throughout Yuan Shao's entire camp.

Yuan Shao had already come out of the camp tent, looking at the chaotic camp that was hit by the 'fire ox', and he was very anxious.

Seeing that Zhao Yun, who was in the lead, had already rushed into the camp, he hurriedly said to the generals around him: "Go to a few people quickly and take Zhao Yun down for me!" ”

After the generals heard the order, dozens of generals such as Gao Lan, Zhang Nan, and Han Xun went straight to Zhao Yun.

The spear in Zhao Yun's hand stabbed at the surrounding Yuan Shao soldiers like lightning, and stabbed more than ten people to death in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Gao Lan, Zhang Nan, Han Xun and other dozens of tiger-backed generals besieging him, Zhao Yun spoke up again: "Not bad, not bad!" Ten people came at once. What if there were only five people here, and it would seem like I was bullying you? ”
