The generals couldn't help but ponder after hearing this, but Tang Yong shook his head and said: "Digging tunnels in a geotechnical way, if the movement is too big, the enemy army must be aware of it, and secondly, the war horses can't go out of the city through the tunnels, and the most critical point is that Yuwentai and other generals are also experienced in warfare, how can they not strengthen precautions in the army, what the second prince said has a gambling component!" ”

Gao Yang smiled and waved his hand: "There should not be too many soldiers out of the city, a thousand men and horses are enough, and secondly, no matter how many are actually not very effective, the purpose of tonight's sneak attack is only to hit the enemy's morale, at most it is to catch the enemy off guard, and it will not cause great losses to the enemy's main force, so the excessive number of soldiers involved is not very useful, and secondly, the three thousand cavalry on General Fu's side are all one person and two horses, and it can still be done by letting him even out a thousand war horses when the time comes, so that there are four thousand cavalry to participate in the battle, which is enough." The last point is that since ancient times, the army has used the art of war and strategy, how can there be any absolute certainty, can only be improvised, there is a certain gambling component, the final balance of victory still depends on the concerted efforts of everyone, the country's military strength and economic strength to decide. ”

"Well, Hu Niyu is right, take a gamble when it is necessary to march and fight, and sometimes you really have to look at God's face for success or failure." Duan Shao clenched the handle of the knife at his waist and commanded in a deep voice; "Send an order, arrange for the soldiers to dig tunnels in the city, try to hide as much as possible, and do not let the enemy detect it, and leave this matter to Hou Niyu to be responsible."

After Gao Yang bowed down to receive the order, Duan Shao looked at Qi Lianmeng again, and said to himself: "Qi Lianmeng, this commander allows you to lead two thousand light cavalry out of the city, remember not to engage the enemy in close combat, only to harass the thief army from a distance, your main task is to drag the enemy cavalry and delay the construction of the enemy's fortifications." Qi Lianmeng hurriedly answered and walked down the city tower to prepare to go......

In less than a moment, everyone saw a pair of cavalry rushing out of the city, howling and rushing towards the enemy, surrounding the enemy in a "whoosh" cavalry fire, and putting down a lot of the enemy's front row cavalry who were rushing up to intercept it. Although Qi Lian Mengqi was irritable, he still had a clear distinction in marching operations, and in addition he was well versed in cavalry combat tactics, he applied a set of guerrilla warfare strategies that Gao Yang had often instilled in them before: "The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I fight", which took less than a stick of incense, and killed many enemy cavalry.

Qi Lianmeng noticed that the enemy's soldiers mainly gathered in front of the formation to prevent the defenders in the city from raiding, and the protection of the people working in the rear was relatively relaxed, so it was estimated that he did not treat them as people, which made Qi Lianmeng seize an opportunity and beckoned his subordinates to bypass the enemy's infantry battle formation and quickly kill the enemy people's battalion.

Generally speaking, the war is to effectively kill and injure the enemy's army, just like at the beginning of the Eastern Wei cavalry out of the city to shoot at their own infantry and the chasing cavalry, but they didn't expect the enemy to attack the Minfu camp in the rear.

A cadre of generals saw that the people in the rear were killed a lot by the Eastern Wei Iron Cavalry charge, and they couldn't help but be angry, and cursed one after another, some of the younger generals also hurriedly asked to pursue the enemy, but they were vetoed by Yuwentai one by one, and the cavalry of their own side in the distance was pursuing the enemy under the leadership of their nephew He Lanxiang, and at this time they went up to no avail, could it be that they could still catch up with the enemy cavalry?

Fortunately, Qi Lianmeng clearly realized the goal of going out of the city this time, so after a battle in the Minfu camp, he quickly led the team to break away, so as not to be caught up by the Western Wei iron cavalry behind, and when He Lanxiang rushed to the Minfu camp and wanted to fight to the death with the enemy, the enemy's iron cavalry had already run away, leaving only the dust raised by the war horse, so angry that he was angry, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Coward, dare to fight to the death?" ”

The voice was so loud that anyone could hear the anger of his people, but Qi Lian was not fooled after hearing it, and shot an arrow at He Lanxiang backwards, although he didn't shoot, but this move was undoubtedly a provocation to He Lanxiang, and it added fuel to the fire, making him so angry that he directly ordered the cavalry under his command: "Chase Lao Tzu, you must catch up with the enemy, Lao Tzu will cut the enemy general with a thousand knives." ”

The defenders of the Eastern Wei Dynasty on the city wall were very relieved, and their morale increased greatly, beating drums and shouting on the city wall, while the defenders of the Western Wei Dynasty under the city were depressed, since they came to Fennan City, they were first attacked by the enemy cavalry on the halfway once, and this time they were provoked by the enemy, and now the enemy is still hanging General Helanxiang and a cadre of cavalry, like monkeys, how can they not be demoralized.

In the Chinese army of the Western Wei Dynasty, Zhao Gui, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, saw this scene, his face was very ugly, and he saluted towards Yuwentai in a deep manner: "Prime Minister, the enemy army does not take us seriously at all, please allow a certain cavalry to send out his headquarters to kill these enemy troops." ”

Yu Wentai shook his head when he heard this, and said indifferently: "The enemy's move is to deliberately provoke us, so we don't need to deal with them...... Someone came, sent an order, recalled Helanxiang, arranged for the soldiers to protect the Minfu battalion, and once the enemy's iron cavalry approached, they would shoot it with arrows. Again, the battle formation in front of him was advanced by one kilometer, and he threw stones and arrows into the city to demoralize the enemy army. ”

A cadre of Eastern Wei generals on the city tower was watching Qi Lianmeng provoke the Western Wei army everywhere under the city, especially when he saw Helan Xiang angrily rushing to the crown and cursing non-stop, he couldn't help but feel funny, and he was watching it on the city wall, but he didn't expect that the style of painting changed, and the battle formations arranged by the Western Wei Dynasty began to advance slowly, and the infantry in the rear also began to form a circle neatly to protect the people who were building fortifications, and even He Lanxiang, who was angry just now, also returned to the army to defend the side.

When he saw that the enemy phalanx began to expand and become one, Duan Shao knew the enemy's next move, and couldn't help but order loudly: "It's not good, the enemy army is going to attack the city, start blowing the whistle, and all the defense-"

When the herald on the city wall began to blow the guard post, before the soldiers defending the city were prepared, I saw the enemy phalanx under the order of the officer, all bent bows and arrows, under this operation, I saw that the bows and arrows shot were like raindrops falling, and many defenders who had not yet reacted or had no time to dodge were shot into hedgehogs, and they could not survive.

The defenders of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the city gathered together in units under the orders of their respective commanders, raised their shields to block the rain of arrows falling from the sky, although a few unlucky soldiers were shot and died, but finally suppressed the enemy's arrow rain.

Seeing this, Gao Yang hurriedly asked Duan Shao, "Duan Shuai, do you want to arrange archers to fight back?" ”
