The Zhao army under Fan Cheng, carrying his dead and wounded comrades, was still retreating.

Under the city, thick smoke billowed from the city.

The veteran Lian Po looked at the scene in front of him and didn't say anything for a long time.

Many of the generals of the Zhao army stood behind Lian Po, their faces gloomy.

"Old general, the Yan army is resisting fiercely, what should we do with our army?"

A general of the Zhao army bowed down to Lian Po and asked.

After a whole day, Fan City was not captured, but the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties; And the Yan army guarding Fancheng, from the current point of view, the loss of troops is not too large. This suddenly made many of the generals of Zhao State change color.

Lian Po looked at the generals of the Zhao army on the left and right, sighed, and said to the generals:

"I didn't expect Yan Jun to be so tenacious, I'll wait until I go back to the village first!"

At the head of Fancheng, the deputy general Gu Tao was reporting to Ma Liang:

"General Qiyu, it's too intense. At the end of the day, our army suffered more than 1,200 casualties and more than 1,500 casualties. The casualties of the enemy army must be several times that of our army, but the number of enemy troops who come to attack is ten times that of our army! ”

Ma Liang turned to look at Fan Cheng behind him, and faintly heard the crying from under the city.

pursed his lips and said to the deputy general Gu Tao: "We don't have any way back, only to fight to the death." General Koo, let's go to the hospital in the city and see our wounded soldiers. ”

"No." Gu Tao clenched his fists and obeyed.

In the Yan army camp under Diqiu City, Le Jian said to the deputy general Bo Wang:

"Judging from today's battle situation, as our army expected, the coalition forces only sent a small force to fight with our army. Our army pressed down, and the forces of the three kingdoms withdrew into the camp. ”

"It can be seen that the intention of the coalition forces on the opposite side is very clear, that is, to prepare here, drag our main army, wait for Lian Po to conquer Fancheng, and then flank our army."

Bo Wang clasped his hands together and said to Lejian:

"General, our army can no longer be consumed with the enemy like this. Once Lian Po and his army appear behind our army, the heart of our army will inevitably be shaken. Tomorrow, our army must take the initiative to attack the coalition forces and launch an attack on all fronts. ”

Hearing this, Le Jian nodded, and said to Bo Wang:

"Gather the generals above the brigadier general to come to the big tent for a meeting, and we will inform them of the current situation of our army, and prepare to fight the enemy to the death, even if the coalition forces withdraw to the camp, our army will attack them."

Outside the city of Fancheng, in the tent of the Chinese army.

"Generals, our army can't afford to drag on here. The army reinforced by the Yan army, if nothing else, will inevitably come to Fan City in the past two days. Once such a situation occurs, there is no need for the old man to say more, and everyone knows the consequences. ”

The veteran Lian Po slapped the desk with his right hand and said to the generals of the Zhao army in the tent.

A general of the Zhao army bowed down to Lian Po and said:

"General, the casualties of our army today are as high as more than 13,000 people, if our army is eager to attack the city, I am afraid it will ......"

Before the general of the Zhao army finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lian Po.

Lian Po's face was serious: "Generals, Fan Cheng must be taken as soon as possible." On the third watch tonight, our army can attack Fancheng at night, and we can't give the defenders of Fancheng a respite. No matter how heavy the casualties of our army are, we will continue to attack. ”

At the same time, under the city of Diqiu, within the tent of the commander of the Yan army, a military meeting was also held in Lejian.

After listening to the introduction of the military situation in the Yan army, the generals of the Yan army all looked at each other.

Lejian's face was also very solemn, and he said to the generals:

"Generals, our original military strategy was to confront the main force of the coalition army under the city of Diqiu, and seek an opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the enemy army. However, Lian Po's operation has forced our army to a dead end. ”

"Our army can't be in Diqiu City, and the coalition army led by Zhao Yi is slowly grinding. It is necessary to fight the enemy as soon as possible and achieve a quick victory. The general has already decided to launch a surprise attack on the enemy army tonight,"

The generals were awe-inspiring and obeyed in unison.

Le Jian was very relieved to see that the generals of the Yan army were not panicking.

Coming to the map, the general commanded:

"Judging from the battle situation during the day today, the Qin army in the coalition army has the strongest combat effectiveness, followed by the Wei army, and the Han army is the weakest. Tonight, the key targets of our army are the South Korean army camp and the Wei army camp. ”

"As for the barracks of the Qin army, our army can send troops to contain them, so that they do not dare to reinforce the barracks of the Han army and the Wei army. As long as the Han army and the Wei army are defeated, our army will concentrate all its strength to attack the Qin army. ”

In this day and age, communication cannot be timely.

This makes the commanders of both sides can only fight according to their own guesses.

For the Yan army and the coalition army, the brutality of the battle can be imagined.

Both Le Jian and Lian Po think that a long war is not good for their side, and they both want to solve the enemy in front of them as soon as possible.

Like Lian Po's thoughts, the generals of the Yan army in Diqiu City, after knowing the situation of their army, also decided to fight a quick battle and start a night battle against the alliance of the three kingdoms.

On April 17, the round moon hung high in the sky.

At three o'clock, Wu Yangjing took more than a dozen guards to a hill opposite the coalition camp.

Behind him, a group of black crows of Yan soldiers.

Taking advantage of the moonlight in the sky, Wu Yangjing quietly looked at the coalition camp not far away.

The large camp of the coalition army was well established, and the fire in the camp illuminated the large camp. Outside the camp, there were coalition soldiers patrolling back and forth with torches, and they were very heavily guarded.

Wu Yangjing turned around and quietly ordered: "Pass my general order, and launch an attack on the enemy army on time." The archers first killed the enemy patrolling outside the enemy camp, and then the cavalry charged the enemy camp. ”

At all times, there was a muffled snort, accompanied by a few loud shouts, and the Qin army camp was boiling.

"Hurry up, Yan Jun is here."

A rain of arrows, flickering in the night, a heavy black light, fell towards the camp of the coalition army, accompanied by the roar of hand fire and thunder. The entire coalition camp was screaming in unison.

The casualties were not very large, but the fear of fighting at night was still like a plague, spreading in the coalition camp.

Zhao Yi, the chief general of the coalition army, who got the report, rushed out of the big tent in his robe, but he was unusually calm.

"Vacate the tents on the outskirts of the camp, and call in some archers, and shoot at any movement there. This is the enemy's strategy to exhaust our army, and the number of people will not be much there. When the dawn comes, the enemy will naturally retreat ......"

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves outside the camp sounded like a torrential rain.

There was silence in the coalition camp at first, and then there was a "boom", and the whole camp was in an uproar.

At this moment, the quiet night was completely torn to pieces.

Zhao Yi had already put on his armor at this time, and after hearing the galloping sound of the war horses outside the camp, he knew that it was the enemy army who was attacking in a big way.

Zhao Yi suddenly felt his scalp tingle, in this era, night battles are the most dangerous.

If one is not handled well, it may lead to the collapse of the whole army.

"The whole army is in formation, hurry, light the torches, inform the battalions, the cavalry mount to meet the enemy, the archers line up to wait for the enemy, do not panic."

A series of orders were quickly conveyed by Zhao Yi.

The rain of arrows is like flying, the sword mountain is a forest of guns, and the sound of killing is shocking.

At the gates of the battalions of the coalition army, the battle was even more fierce, and it was simply a strangulation field of flesh and blood.

The shouts of killing, the neighing of war horses, the roar of fire and thunder, and the sound of slashing and stabbing resounded in the night.

Within a radius of dozens of miles where the coalition forces are located, a strong smell of blood is everywhere.

Zhao Yi never thought that Yan Jun could be so decisive, regardless of the cost.

At night, he launched a general attack on the coalition forces he led.
