Zhou Yu's offensive seemed to be swift, but the threat to the city wall was actually minimal.

Throughout the night's fighting, not a single enemy attacked the city.

"My lord."

Xi Zhicai rushed over.

"You didn't sleep either?" Qin Fan asked casually.

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "There are shouts of killing everywhere, where can I sleep." How's it going? ”

"It's okay," Qin Fan saw that he was wearing thinly, untied his cloak and tied it to him, "I don't know what Zhou Yu wants to do, he attacked all night, there was no order, it was a simple war of attrition." ”

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Xi Zhicai pondered: "I always feel that Zhou Yu still has some big moves. ”

Qin Fan waved his hand indifferently, "Whatever, the soldiers will block, the water will cover it, can you still be afraid that he won't succeed?" ”

Ordered people to go down to clean up the battlefield, Qin Fan was about to go back to sleep for a while, he hadn't slept well for two days, and he was really a little tired and panicked.

After waking up in a daze, when he saw Xi Zhicai again, his face was heavy.

Qin Fan scratched his head, "Zhicai, why don't you go to rest and rest?" ”

Xi Zhicai glanced up at him, "Lord, there are spies coming to report, Liu Miao is leading an army of 50,000 and is coming to take revenge." ”

"Fifty thousand?" Qin Fan said dumbfounded: "So much? ”

Xi Zhicai also looked puzzled, "It shouldn't be, this outpouring of the nest will not do him any good, and I don't know what Zhou Yu said, so that he can send all the soldiers and horses." ”

The two looked at each other and said in unison, "You can't let them meet." ”

Xi Zhicai took the map, pointed to the map and said, "I have seen their marching routes, and if you avoid them from meeting, the best way is to ambush here." ”

Qin Fan leaned his head to look and only saw a long and narrow valley, if the army passed by here, he was only afraid of more evil and less auspicious.

"Liu Miao is not stupid, we are ambushed here, he will definitely know."

Xi Zhicai bowed slightly, "Therefore, I can only give up here." We don't have enough troops to stay here all the time. ”

Qin Fan's eyes lit up, "What does Zhicai mean?" Give up here, where should that be? ”

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, "If the marching speed is normal, they should arrive at noon tomorrow, and we can find another ambush." The time must be at night, which will create the illusion that they don't know how many soldiers and horses we have, and it will be a good opportunity to ambush. ”

"Give me 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I'll lead the army." Qin Fan said.

Xi Zhicai shook his head, "The Butterfly is a small city, and there are only 20,000 people who can really go to the city to protect it, and we have a lot of soldiers and horses in reserve." I'll give you 20,000, even if you fight, it's easier to retreat. ”

"Ten thousand is enough." Qin Fan stared at the map and said, "Where should the specific location be?" ”

"Normally, they would have reached the Slope Tomb, but now that the weather is bitterly cold, it is unlikely that they would march at night, so I conclude that this is where they will camp."

Qin Fan saw that the location that Xi Zhicai was referring to was an unmarked place.

Drew a circle, "The approximate range is here." ”

He laughed, "This is not the valley yet, and when they camp at night, they will definitely send spies to see it." With Liu Xuan's vigilance, he suffered a loss last time, and he will definitely not be so careless this time. Unless you can get rid of all these spies without knowing it, the valley will not be happy, let alone ambushed. ”

Qin Fan nodded when he heard this, and Xi Zhicai's analysis made a lot of sense.

"So we can only ambush here." Xi Zhicai pointed to another place, "In this place, I asked the surname of the Butterfly, there is a lot of dry grass, you can ambush a little farther, and then attack it with fire." As long as he can scare Liu Qian away, it is actually a victory. ”

"And that has to wait until tomorrow morning?"

"Not bad." Xi Zhicai said: "There is no way, Liu Miao will definitely send a lot of spies, as long as the valley on both sides is occupied, it will be difficult for flies to cross, if it is attacked, the plan of this sneak attack will be tantamount to failure......."

Xi Zhicai's plan is very simple, when Li 丨 used the morning when people just woke up, plus the vigilance of Liu Xuan's army was also in the valley, and after that, he would definitely relax, as long as it was like this, there would be no big problem, and then Li 丨 would attack with fire to scare off Liu Xuan's army, at least above seventy percent of the certainty. ”

The stars are sparse at night, and the cold wind is cold.

Qin Fan took Dian Wei, Xu Sheng, and 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city quietly from the mountainfly.

At this time, although there were a few stars hanging in the sky, the sky was dark and tight, and there was no human figure ten meters away.

Qin Fan asked everyone to tie a white cloth on the back of their hands, so that they could be easily identified in the dark night.

"Keep up, keep up." Qin Fan commanded the team to advance. And let the spouts, who are used to walking in the dark, probe the surroundings.

It took more than two hours for the army to arrive at the place where Xi Zhicai said.

There was no shelter here, the wind was a little strong, Dian Wei came over, "Lord, let's just wait here?" ”

"Almost." Qin Fan said: "This should be outside the place where they explored. ”

"It's so cold in here. Wait until tomorrow and don't freeze to death. ”

"Let everyone lean on each other and keep each other warm."

Rao is now Qin Fan's body is strong, and he is cold enough at this time.

After taking two steps back and forth, and choosing a suitable place to ambush with Xu Sheng and others, Qin Fan lay in a low ditch, staring at the night in a daze.

Compared to the frog side, this place is more expansive, and the view is farther away, but it is also limited.

"What time is it?" Qin Fan asked casually.

"Sub-hour."

"Child?"

Qin Fan summoned Xu Sheng, "Wen Xiang, let me ask you, when did you say that Liu Xuan's army would be the most relaxed?" ”

Xu Sheng was slightly stunned, puzzled: "Didn't the military advisor say that tomorrow morning, they passed through that valley?" ”

"That's true, but it's not too accurate." Qin Fan smiled slightly, "It depends on the specific point in time." ”

Qin Fan turned around and pointed to the valley and said, "Do you think they will be very relaxed at this time?" ”

Xu Sheng thought about it, his face changed, and he slapped his face excitedly and said, "Yes, this is the time to relax." ”

"You said that we should sneak attack them at this time, what will be the effect?"

Xu Sheng was shocked: "Go at this time? We'll be spotted by the spies. ”

"If there are two sides of the valley, what are the odds of winning if we kill the spies on one side and pass through this side?"

Xu Sheng smiled bitterly: "The odds are definitely bigger than tomorrow morning." But if you don't alarm the spies, it's unlikely. On this big night, even if we kill a lot of spies on the other side, we will always go back to report the news. ”

Qin Fan nodded, "You go back first." ”

Xu Sheng was confused, but he didn't think much about it.

After Xu Sheng left, Qin Fan said to Dian Wei: "Go and call a spy." ”

"What are you going to do with a spy?"
