These days, Murong Chen has been thinking about the reinforcements from the north day and night. I finally heard the news, so I naturally had to ask clearly. "It's true! The little one listened to the generals of the army discussing this matter, saying that tens of thousands of cavalry came from the north. General Huan was afraid that he would be attacked from behind during the siege of the city, so he was ready to start a war with them first! It is said that it will not be long before General Huan will lead his army to leave this place! If the general doesn't believe it, he can carefully observe the changes in the camp outside the city! The two of them said conclusively.

Originally, Murong Chen was still a little suspicious of these two people, but after hearing this, he felt that it was a little reasonable. First, tens of thousands of cavalry Yan Guo can be sent, and there is no problem in terms of troops.

Second, before the Jin army arrived here, he was still able to get news from the north, knowing that Murong Chui was already leading an army of 100,000 to the south to support. From this point of view, it doesn't make sense, after all, the reinforcements should be coming when the time is calculated.

The other is that the argument that these two people submitted to themselves seems more reasonable. Because if there are tens of thousands of cavalry, there is no problem in dealing with 40,000 foot soldiers.

Especially in Murong Chen's opinion, although the Jin army has a naval army and a small number of cavalry, it is not comparable with the cavalry of the Yan State at all. With the first impression of Nanren's weakness, many things are extra reasonable in his mind.

"Come on, take the two of them down first, take good care of them, and then come back when the matter is decided!" After thinking about it for a while, Murong Chen instructed the people below.

This kind of thing should be seen first, in case it is true, wouldn't it be a great thing! Especially when reinforcements arrive, if you can grasp the opportunity on your side, you may be able to turn the defense into an attack and achieve a victory.

Thinking of this, he walked to the battlements and began to pay close attention to the camp of the Jin army outside the city. Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the camp of the Jin army changed.

I saw a group of soldiers and horses suddenly finish lining up in the big camp, and then divide into several roads and drive towards the northeast. It didn't take long for the camp tents outside the city to be a lot, but the number of soldiers and horses was more than half!

Murong Chen silently calculated that among Huan Wen's 40,000 troops, at least 30,000 had left the camp.

In this way, there are only about 10,000 people left outside the city, which is not particularly different from the strength of the city. Especially after the 10,000 soldiers and horses were dispersed in all directions, there were not many soldiers and horses outside the city walls.

Of course, Murong Chen didn't fully believe what those two people said. After all, if the other party really designs a conspiracy, it can be completely done!

Therefore, he waited for a long time, and it was not until he saw no trace of the return of the Jin army after a few hours that he was completely relieved.

The place where Xuchang is located is a plain, so if you stand on the top of the city and look into the distance, you can see the distance at a glance. And with so many soldiers and horses, it is impossible for there to be no movement at all.

At the very least, the smoke and dust of the march of the army could be seen clearly from miles or even ten miles away. Of course, if it was between the mountains, this kind of hope would be useless, and Murong Chen would not take such a approach at all.

"Huan Wen really led the army to leave! In this case, our reinforcements should indeed have arrived. Now there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left outside the city, and it is simply impossible for such a small number of soldiers and horses to completely surround us! Why don't we take this opportunity to go out of the city and defeat the Jin army? After confirming the news, Murong Chen immediately summoned all the generals and said.

"General, could this be Huan Wen's trick? We have a strong city as a basis, as long as we defend the city, it will be impossible for the other party to get in. Why go out of the city and take risks? Some generals questioned.

"Don't you want to stay in the city in safety, General Ben? You don't want to think about it, either! If Huan Wen really defeats our reinforcements on this trip, then we will become a lonely city, who will save us? Especially at this time, there are few enemy soldiers outside the city, we can still fight with one, if we wait until Huan Wen returns, the number of soldiers and horses outside the city increases, and the enemy army attacks the city on a large scale, how long can we hold out? When the time comes, we can't go out of the city, and we can't defend it, we only have a dead end! When Murong Chen heard this, he suddenly said with some anger.

From a practical point of view, his consideration is not unreasonable. This is not just an impulse after listening to the words of those two people, but a long-term perspective. Defending the city is not to hold still, but to act when the opportunity arises, and to actively defend it.

When they heard this, they did not speak again. Because everyone knows that this is true, if you blindly stick to it, you may miss the opportunity.

"This is how it was decided! Tonight, let's go out of the city and attack the camp, and tell the soldiers to rest well, and then go out of the city to attack when Shen Shi has a meal. This trip~ everyone must be careful to keep it confidential, and do not leak the news! If we can defeat the enemy army and join the reinforcements this time, we will be a great achievement! Seeing that no one objected, Murong Chen made a decision.

In the afternoon, it was very quiet inside and outside the city, and it didn't look like a place surrounded by the smell of a big war.

After the sky was completely dark, I saw the east gate of Xuchang City suddenly open quietly. Then, groups of Yan troops kept coming out of the city and quietly touched the Jin army camp three miles away from the city.

Murong Chen personally led the army and walked in the forefront, and when the army moved, it slowed down, so there was no big noise. This time, he specially selected 4,000 elite soldiers and prepared to rush to the Jin army camp to kill.

As they got closer and closer to the Jin army camp, the Yan soldiers could see clearly from a distance even the soldiers patrolling the camp. If it weren't for the cover of night, it would not have been possible to get close to the camp of the Jin army smoothly in such a place.

"Rush!" When he was only about a mile away from the gate of the camp, Murong Chen shouted, and then rushed towards the Jin military camp.

After hearing this shouting of killing, the Jin soldiers patrolling the camp seemed to be frightened, and after throwing the torch in their hands to the ground, they turned around and ran in the direction of the rear camp.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Yan Army became even more excited, thinking that the Jin Army had seen themselves and others killed, and the army fled in embarrassment. Hula, everyone rushed into the Jin army camp, and then began to look for the Jin army everywhere.

However, Murong Chen and the others searched in the camp for a while, but they didn't even see a single Jin army. In the entire camp, it seems that there are only empty tents left.

"Oh no, we've been tricked! Retreat! When Murong Chen saw this scene, he immediately reacted and hurriedly ordered.

It's a pity that it was too late to give another order at this time, and with the sound of shouting and killing coming from all directions, the Jin army that they couldn't find appeared in front of them at this time. I saw that the firelight suddenly lit up in the darkness, and soon surrounded the camp where Murong Chen and the others were.

"Shoot the arrows!" With an order, rockets suddenly flew into the camp. Soon, the camp was on fire.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Murong Chen and the others immediately ran out in the direction they came, preparing to withdraw from this camp first.

However, they had just reached the edge of the camp and had not yet crossed the camp boundary. Sharp arrows flew from all around, and many people fell directly into the camp.

Even if some people were lucky enough to escape, they would soon face an attack from the Jin soldiers. At this time, Murong Chen suddenly found that the soldiers and horses of the Jin army around him had far exceeded the strength in his hands.

At this moment, he completely understood that he had fallen for Huan Wen's plan from the beginning. But at this time, he understood that there was no way, he could only regret that he was too careless, and the rest was only to try his best to break out from here.

When the battle outside the city began, the defenders inside the city were nervous. Although some people wanted to go out of the city to rescue Murong Chen, they still didn't do so in the end. Because everyone understands that since the Jin army has set up such a plan, it is impossible not to guard against the reinforcements in the city.

On the other hand, it is impossible for them to get out of the city at this time. Because soon after the start of the battle outside the city, the Jin army from the other three directions launched a siege together. It is difficult for the defenders in the city to even protect themselves, where can they have the strength to rescue Murong Chen and them.

Outside the eastern city, Huan Yun and Wang Xun rode side by side, and not far in front of them, there was the camp on fire. And beside them, there were many soldiers clustered around, constantly blocking Murong Chen's army from breaking through.

"Mr. Yuan Lin's plan really worked, this Murong Chen went out of the city rashly, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the general to go north to attack us, it was really a dead end!" Seeing that everything was going smoothly as expected, Huan Yun seemed very happy and said to Wang Xun beside him.

"After tonight's battle, this Xuchang City shouldn't be a big problem! The question now is whether the general's side can defeat the enemy reinforcements. After all, there are thousands of cavalry heading south, which is also a big threat to us! Wang Xun glanced at the city behind him and said lightly.

"When the matter is over here, we can immediately rush to join the general, and with our troops, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to deal with the enemy cavalry!" Huan Yun nodded, and then said.

Murong Chen saw Huan Wen's army leaving, but he was not mistaken, but there was a problem in the estimation of the number of people. Because Huan Wen did not leave with 30,000 horses, but only took 20,000 horses to the north.
