Xiao Ding sent the Yang family sisters and brothers to lead the troops to ambush Zhaoqingcheng's troops who went to rescue Jiaozhou City again. Halfway through, Lu Changping and Di Wanjun were sent to intercept and kill the remnants of the army for the second time, and only Brother Duan Beishan was left to flee back to Zhaoqing City.

After the Yang family sisters and brothers and the two generals Lu and Di led their troops back to Xiguan City to hand over the order, they reported the ambush to Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding was very happy that everything went according to the original plan. In this way, it is not far from taking Jiaozhou City.

"Cockroach crawling deputy marshal, will we still ambush like this tomorrow?" Yang Yueling won the battle for two consecutive days, and she was also very happy.

"No, tomorrow you will continue to set up an ambush, but not to ambush the reinforcements of Zhaoqing City, but to ambush the reinforcements of Jiaozhou City!" Xiao Ding looked at Yang Yueling with a smile and said.

"Ambush reinforcements from Jiaozhou City? How? Changed directions, huh? Yang Yueling asked.

"Yes, tomorrow I will send Yue Yunfeng and Yue Yunyu to lead the army to attack Zhaoqing City, in this way, the king of Jiaozhou is worried about losing Zhaoqing City, so he will inevitably send troops to support, and you can intercept the reinforcements sent by Jiaozhou City in the middle." Xiao Ding explained.

"Why don't you continue to attack Jiaozhou City and intercept the reinforcements of Zhaoqing City?" Yang Yueling asked suspiciously.

Xiao Ding glanced at Yang Yueling, and said in his heart, are you stupid! Then he said: "Tell me how many troops there are in Jiaozhou City now, and how many troops are still in Zhaoqing City?" ”

Yang Yueling suddenly realized: "There are 30,000 soldiers in Jiaozhou City, and there should be 15,000 soldiers left in Zhaoqing City." Yes, yes, yes, I understand, it's still the deputy marshal, your brain is spinning fast, hehe! ”

Xiao Ding glanced at Yang Yueling and said, "The main purpose of our strategy of attacking points and sending reinforcements is to disperse the opponent's forces to ambush. There are only 15,000 troops left in Zhaoqing City, so why should we let them continue to divide their troops? Just hit it directly. ”

"Yes, yes, the deputy marshal is right, the 15,000 defenders, we can also fight by storming, and there is no need to bother to divide their troops." Yang Yueling scratched her head in embarrassment and said.

"But tomorrow we still have to feint, not really attack." Xiao Ding then said.

"Why? Wouldn't it be over if you just hit it down? Why bother? Yang Yueling blurted out.

"It's not in a hurry now, the city will be fought sooner or later, and it's still useful to keep it now." Xiao Ding said confidently.

Although Lu Changping and Di Wanjun, who were standing on the side, did not interject, they heard clearly on the side, and they nodded again and again to express their agreement with Xiao Ding's idea.

The brothers of the Yue family still sent people to Xiguan City to report the battle situation, Xiao Ding asked someone to bring back his orders by the way, and ordered the brothers of the Yue family to lead the troops together with Gao Hongxiu and Luo Sikou, who went to support later, to attack Zhaoqing City tomorrow, still the same as attacking Jiaozhou City, pretending to feint, no need to fight.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ding sent the Yang family sisters and brothers, Lu Changping, and Di Wanjun out, still responsible for the ambush.

This kind of halfway ambush is a matter that they have long been familiar with and have done it more than once.

Under the coordination and command of Xiao Ding, the generals began a new round of strategic planning.

The Yue brothers, Gao Hongxiu and Luo Sikou, led an army of 30,000 to attack Zhaoqing City, which looked menacing, but in fact, it was just to shoot spears and crossbows at the city.

Song Yuanyan, the king of Jiaozhou, heard the scout's report early in the morning that the enemy troops stationed ten miles away had begun to retreat after breakfast. At first glance, Song Yuanyan was very happy, the siege army withdrew, of course he would be happy! But it didn't take long for him to be happy, he became worried, the enemy retreated, could it be another plan? Otherwise, why didn't they come to attack the city, but they all retreated?

Song Yuyan is not stupid, he knows that there must be another mystery in this, but he can't guess where the other party's mystery is.

Sure enough, as expected. It didn't take long for Zhaoqingcheng to send people, saying that the enemy's 30,000 troops were going to attack Zhaoqingcheng, and General Duan hoped that the prince would send troops to support.

When Song Yuanyan heard this, he was immediately shocked. He heard the man sent by Duan Beishan yesterday say that Duan Beishan's reinforcements out of the city yesterday were ambushed halfway. Fifteen thousand troops were lost, and now there were only fifteen thousand soldiers in the city.

Whether Zhaoqing City can be defended, not to mention for the time being, what Song Yuanyan is most worried about now is that if he sends rescue troops, what if he is ambushed halfway?

That's what worries him the most.

However, Duan Beishan was the general of Dali who came to support him. Two of his subordinates have been killed in battle, if Zhaoqing City is broken and Duan Beishan is also killed in battle, then he will not be able to explain to the Emperor of Dali. The vulture of the Great Southern Barbarian State is still lying on the bed now, if Duan Beishan dies in battle again, then the Dali Kingdom will never give him any support in the future.

The reinforcements were worried about being ambushed, and if they didn't send reinforcements, they were worried that Duan Beishan would be destroyed, and Song Yuanyan was in a dilemma.

He walked around the hall and didn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

The man who came to report the news knelt underneath and was still begging vigorously, hoping that Song Yuanyan would send troops to rescue Zhaoqingcheng. He was Duan Beishan's subordinate, from Dali Kingdom, and naturally he didn't want Zhaoqing City to be captured and Duan Beishan was destroyed.

It stands to reason that the method of the two cities to connect with each other was proposed by Song Yuanyan. Now that Zhaoqing City is in trouble, he should send troops to the rescue.

But after experiencing the annihilation of the reinforcements sent by Zhaoqingcheng twice, Song Yuanyan is really a little scared now, he is really worried that if he sends troops again today, he will be eaten up by the other party. Then he basically has no chance of turning the tables.

Jiaozhou City has 30,000 troops, plus 15,000 troops in Zhaoqing City Dali, and the total strength of the two cities can only be equal to the total strength of the other side at present. If losses continue, the balance of war will become more and more tilted in favor of the enemy.

Seeing that the kneeling people below pleaded, the king of Jiaozhou was in a state of confusion, called all his generals, explained the current situation, and then asked the generals for advice.

Surprisingly, the generals all agreed to bring troops to support, and even said unashamedly: "Why worry about ambushes? When encountering our army, we will directly destroy the ambush army, and the prince does not have to worry about the problem of the ambush army, it is more important to keep Zhaoqing City. ”

When Song Yuanyan saw the generals with such an attitude, when he thought about it, he felt that what the generals said was not reasonable, since we had already taken precautions in advance, why should we be afraid of the ambush? Anyway, it's all wars, and it's not all the same wherever they fight.

So he immediately ordered the generals Niu Tou and Ma Wei to lead 10,000 soldiers to Zhaoqing City to rescue Duan Beishan.

After the rescuers were dispatched, Song Yuanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to continue to think of a way.

However, it is one thing to talk about it, but it is another thing to actually go to the battlefield.

Song Yuanyan said that he didn't expect that those generals who were ashamed of him would go to the rescue this time, but they were still like moths to a fire, and they were killing themselves.
