Shen Ning stayed in Dongguan County for a few days, and Li Ru rushed over.

As the only military advisor by Shen Ning's side, Li Ru naturally had to accompany the army in order to give advice to Shen Ning. Although Shen Ning has his own wisdom, he also has a place where he is not well considered, Li Ru is scheming and can check and fill in the gaps for Shen Ning.

After Li Ru arrived, Shen Ning officially sent troops to attack Chengyang County.

Chengyang County is in a north-south direction, and Chengyang County is located in the west of the central part, so it is not far from Dongguan County and Langya County, and the troops can come outside the city in four or five days.

Li Yuanxiao has always been afraid of the 16,000 Qingzhou soldiers in Chengyang County, once they sneak attack Dongguan County, it will make Li Yuanxiao suffer from the enemy behind his back, so he specially left a division to garrison Donghai County, just to warn.

Next, Shen Ning wants to take Chengyang County with 12,000 people, the difficulty can be imagined, first of all, the army is not as good as others, they still have tall and strong city walls to defend, and the people in the city to do backup, not to mention more than 10,000 people, even if the strength is doubled, the difficulty is also great.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to attack by force, and you can only outwit it.

And the news that Shen Ning led the troops to attack was naturally discovered by the Qingzhou scouts and reported to the leading general Ke Zhennan.

Sima Jian, the king of Qi, had five tiger generals, and he made great achievements in the southern and northern wars. Wei Chizhan, who ranked second, and Nie Biao, who ranked fourth, both died at the hands of Shen Ning, and this Ke Zhennan ranked third, and his relationship with Wei Chizhan and Nie Biao was very good, and they were sworn brothers.

Hearing that Shen Ning led the troops to come, Ke Zhennan directly crushed the wine cup in his hand, with a hideous expression: "Shen Ning, Shen Ning, you killed my eldest brother and third brother, I have long wanted to seek revenge on you, and now you take the initiative to send you to death, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces, annihilate all your soldiers and horses, and avenge my brother!" Come on, send all the scouts out, keep an eye on them for me, and I can't let go of any trouble. Separately inform you and get ready to fight! ”

At the sound of an order, the army under his command began to increase vigilance, and even the people of the county town were cautious, knowing that a great battle would start in the calm county town.

At this time, Shen Ning's soldiers and horses had already entered Chengyang County, and there were still fifty miles away from the county seat.

Finding a terrain that could be attacked, retreated, and defended, Shen Ning arranged to set up camp, and had no intention of approaching Chengyang County.

There was a forest not far away, and the whole army worked in unison, and a military camp was quickly erected, and then a fire was burned for cooking, and the smoke of the cooking stove was lit.

The hidden scouts counted the smoke and kept a careful record.

By the amount of cooking smoke, you can basically judge the strength of the attacker, which is the basic ability of a scout, and soon, the scout sent the information back to the city.

Ke Zhennan read the information and sneered: "With more than 10,000 troops, and it is a new recruit who has just been formed, he dares to attack my Chengyang County, is it arrogant, or does he look down on General Ben?" Since you have come to seek death, you will definitely have no return! I'm going to see what kind of conspiracy you have up to keep watching! ”

Who knows, after Shen Ning's soldiers and horses set up camp, this stay will be four or five days, which will make the hearts of the people in Chengyang County fluctuate, and the other party has no intention of attacking.

At this time, in the tent of the Chinese military camp, Shen Ning was discussing the military with Li Ru, and there were Zhang Liao, Li Xiaojie and Shen Zhaoyuan on the side.

Marching to fight and fight a woman, could it be...

Don't get me wrong, Shen Ning isn't that yet.

The role of bamboo red tassel is very important, and it is the key to winning Chengyang County this time.

I only heard Li Ru say: "We have been holding our troops for a long time, I believe that Ke Zhennan is already a little anxious!" ”

"The more anxious the better, let's continue to hold still, I want to see how long Ke Zhennan can endure it!" Shen Ning sneered.

How could Shen Ning and Li Ru not know the difficulty of taking Chengyang County, and to attack by force was to find their own death, so they did not attack, but waited for the other party to take the initiative to meet the enemy.

Li Ru has already investigated Ke Zhennan's temper, he is brave, affectionate and righteous, and lustful, when the enemy who killed his sworn brother is outside the city, with his affectionate and righteous character, how long can he endure it?

Li Ru stroked his beard and said: "Wait for another five days at most, Ke Zhennan will send troops to attack when he sees that we have not moved." We are new recruits, and the number is small, Ke Zhennan will inevitably underestimate the enemy. So we continued to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and the traps in the rear were laid out in a hurry. ”

Shen Ning nodded, looked at Zhang Liao, and asked, "How is the trap arranged?" ”

"Please rest assured, the general and the gentleman, they are almost ready." Zhang Liao said with a smile.

They camped in a very clever location, to the east was a flat terrain, and several official roads led directly to Chengyang County.

Four or five miles back, there was a hill running north-south, and the location of the Shen Ning military camp was at the mouth of the hill, so once Ke Zhennan led the troops to attack, they could retreat to the west and withdraw to the west side of the hill. And the mouth of the hill is like a pocket, if Ke Zhennan continues to pursue, he will fall into the trap set by Shen Ning and Li Ru.

Shen Ning looked at Zhu Hongying again and said with a smile: "I have to trouble Bamboo Girl this time!" ”

Zhu Hongying glanced at him and snorted.

Ke Zhennan is lustful, so after discussing with Li Ru, Shen Ning prepared a second plan to deal with him, that is, the beauty plan. Next, by Zhu Hongying, he sneaked into Chengyang County, and with the beauty of Zhu Hongying, Ke Zhennan will inevitably flock to it.

Shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, once Ke Zhennan is killed, the Qingzhou soldiers are leaderless, and they are scattered.

Next, Zhu Hongying quietly left the barracks and went to Chengyang County.

Nowadays, when entering and leaving Chengyang County, it is necessary to strictly search, and check the ticket, Zhu Hongying is a female streamer, and after disguise, she covers her beautiful appearance, which is the dress of a village woman, and she naturally blends into the city easily.

Then, she went to the most famous Qinglou in the city, where is the industry of Yin and Yang Dao, and then she turned into a foreign Oiran, glamorous and overwhelming the whole city, and the men in the city came to admire it, and when they saw the appearance of the bamboo red tassel, they immediately poured it down, and within four or five days they moved Chengyang County.

Zhu Hongying's reputation naturally came into Ke Zhennan's ears, with his lustful character, he naturally wanted to kiss Fang Ze, after all, this is not a precedent, but a convention, the Oiran in the Qingfang of the flower building in the city has basically not escaped his clutches, and there are as many as twenty or thirty concubines in the house alone, and they can not be the same every day.

However, because of the invading enemy outside the city, Ke Zhennan did not go to kiss Fang Ze, at this time he was gathering his subordinates and preparing to take the initiative to attack the city.

He couldn't take it anymore.

The other party has been stationed all the time, and there is no intention of attacking at all, and Ke Zhennan thinks that the enemy who killed his brother is there, how can he continue to forbear?

The opponent's strength is less than his own, and he is still a new soldier, if he doesn't dare to take the initiative to attack, what will the world think of him Ke Zhennan?

Of course, Ke Zhennan is not stupid, he saw the other party's intentions, and was waiting for him to take the initiative to attack, since this is the case, then send troops to crush it!

"Tomorrow morning, send troops!"

Ke Zhennan immediately gave the order.

The next day, the four military masters had already reorganized their soldiers and horses, and told Ke Zhennan, and Ke Zhennan immediately ordered to set off.

Ke Zhennan did not choose to sneak attack in the early morning, and a sneak attack at night is not necessarily the most beneficial, because the dark night will greatly affect the operation, especially the more soldiers and horses, the more it will affect the overall control, but it will mess up the phalanx, and in the case of chaos, it is possible to kill your own people.

So it's better to attack during the day.

Soon, Shen Ning's side also received the news of Ke Zhennan's attack, and immediately reorganized his troops and horses to meet the battle.

The two sides formally met in an open area and stopped outside the firing range.

Ke Zhennan led his own soldiers to pat his horse and shouted, "Who is Shen Ning'er?" ”

Fighting generals before the war is a tradition of the ancients to fight, and it is also a means to weaken the morale of the opponent's army and increase the morale of its own army. Of course, the losing side is miserable.

Shen Ning stepped forward and smiled: "Your grandfather is here!" ”

Seeing Shen Ning's handsome face, Ke Zhennan said angrily: "Yellow-haired child, the hair has not grown, you dare to come to attack my Chengyang County, let you leave the corpse here today, do you dare to fight?" ”

I saw him wielding a big knife in his hand, fierce and vicious.

Shen Ning is not stupid, he is the realm of martial artists, the other party's great martial artist, go up and go to find death!

At this time, Shen Zhaoyuan, who was behind Shen Ning, rode out, pointed at Ke Zhennan and scolded: "The surname Ke, you want to challenge my general, you are not worthy, let me meet you!" ”

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Shen Zhaoyuan had already rushed over and fought with Ke Zhennan.

Both of them are great martial artists, they both use big swords, and their martial arts are between them, so the battle is very exciting, and the dust raised is accompanied by sword light.

The evenly matched two fought for dozens of rounds, but they couldn't help each other, so they could only retreat to their respective camps in a draw.

"Sons! Kill all Xuzhou Wei! Whoever kills Shen Ning will be rewarded with a thousand taels! Ke Zhennan roared angrily, and the horn of attack immediately sounded.

I saw that Ke Zhennan's camp was in a conical formation, which was a battle formation with forwards like a cone.

The tapered formation is sharp and quick in attack, while the wings are strong and powerful. In this way, you can attack the enemy head-on with an elite striker, and break through and cut the enemy's formation, and then expand the results on both wings, which is a formation that emphasizes offensive breakthroughs.

Ke Zhennan used this array, and it can be seen that the intention is obvious, that is, to annihilate Shen Ning's soldiers and horses.

At the same time, Shen Ning's side also sounded the horn of attack.

Zhang Liao, Shen Zhaoyuan, and Li Xiaojie each led their own phalanxes and formed a three-talent formation to meet the enemy.

Shen Zhaoyuan led the troops in front, as the front team, and the left and right cavalry acted as rangers.

In battle, the rangers first maintain contact with the enemy, delay the enemy's movements, prevent the enemy's sudden attack, and cover the deployment and attack preparations of the front team.

Then Shen Zhaoyuan led the front team to go head-to-head.

Zhang Liao's forces were in the middle, and he took advantage of the results of Shen Zhaoyuan's confrontation to charge the enemy and engage in white-knuckle combat.

Li Xiaojie was behind, one was to go forward to replenish the offensive force head-on, or to carry out a roundabout encirclement from the enemy's flank and back to flank the enemy.

This is a large formation, as small as a ten-man team, the distribution of troops is also extremely detailed, there is defense, there is long-range attack, there is close combat.

In this way, the battle between the two sides officially began.

Shen Ning sat in the rear, looking at the battlefield where the battle was raging, and it was bloody.

Ke Zhennan's soldiers and horses are all veterans and have rich experience, but because they have been stationed in Chengnan County for a long time and have not been on the battlefield for a long time, their military spirit is not as vibrant as Shen Ning's soldiers and horses. However, they have a lot of troops and have the advantage.

Although Shen Ning's soldiers and horses are sharp and vigorous, they are new recruits after all, and the number is small, which is the biggest drawback.

It's okay to engage for a short time, but once you engage for a long time, there will be problems with coordination.

Therefore, from the perspective of overall strength, Shen Ning's side occupies a disadvantage.

Shen Ning naturally understood this.

Newly formed recruits can kill all sides with fewer troops, how can they be so lucky!

Unless you occupy the right time and place and lie down to win, you will inevitably be at a disadvantage if you are tough and tough.

But this is the first battle of the Tiger Roaring Army, and even if it loses, it will have to be fought.

Don't experience fighting, don't taste defeat, if you become more and more brave the more you fight?
