As soon as the military order horn sounded, thousands of troops and horses rushed out in a short time, setting up a formation to wait for the enemy, and strictly defend it.

Chen Chong saw the enemy army dispatching, and with a wave of his hand, he immediately let the four hundred soldiers under his command hide.

When the soldiers saw the gesture, they hurriedly hid against the jungle and did not come forward.

Zhang Hu, the commander of the defenders on the left flank of the Pi army, waited for a long time and did not wait for the enemy to attack the camp again, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

Just when he was a little relaxed, Chen Chong suddenly made another gesture to the soldiers under his command.

Immediately, the soldiers under his command shot the arrows towards the left flank camp of the Pi army.

A round of random arrows was fired, but it also killed many Pi soldiers.

After shooting the arrows, Chen Chong asked these soldiers to quickly transfer their positions, break them into pieces, guerrilla warfare, and sneak attack the soldiers of the Pi army defenders.

In this way, in the middle of five times, the 400 soldiers under Chen Chong's command have already killed a lot of enemies, which has brought great pressure to the psychology of the defenders of the left wing of the Pi army.

In the face of Chen Chong's shameless sneak attack combat method, Zhang Hu harbored a poisonous fire in his heart and was extremely angry.

After some counting, he found that there were four or five hundred soldiers on his side. And the other party was unscathed, which made him unbearable.

And he also found that under such a despicable sneak attack, the morale of the army was already slightly scattered and suspicious.

Faced with such a situation, he was even more furious. I really want to lead the whole army to break out of the camp and launch a stall-style search to capture the enemy army. But I am afraid that the other party will have an ambush, and Pi Tong has given a strict order before, so he must not act rashly. Therefore, he can only let the soldiers take precautions on their own, and there is no other way.

"Zhang Ming, you quickly go and tell the adults about the situation and see what arrangements the adults have." Zhang Hu said to a confidant.

"Yes, sir!" His henchman Zhang Ming received the military order and rode straight to the Pitong military camp.

----

"Be bold and perish!"

Pi Tong was annoyed at the moment that he had fallen into Gongsun Cezhi's trick to leave the mountain, and now he suddenly heard the summons sent by Zhang Hu on the left wing, and knew that his left wing had also been ambushed, and the army's heart was shaken, and he was immediately furious. Prepare for Zhang Hu to send troops to launch a carpet search to annihilate the incoming enemy.

Although he fell for Gongsun Ce's scheme, his mind was still not confused, and it was expected that there were not many ambushes who attacked the left flank, and the center of gravity of the enemy's army must be on his right flank.

Now that the left flank is ambushed, it must have been done by a small number of people. Disturb. disturbed, just disturbed the morale of the army. Trying to divide his troops and relax the vigilance of the right wing.

For these trivial schemes, he saw through them at a glance.

"Your Excellency is angry, the situation on the right wing is still unclear at the moment, and it is not appropriate to use troops too violently." Under Pi Tong's tent, a strategist with a face like a jade crown and a colorful robe said.

Shi Yuan is reasonable. There is nothing to worry about on the left flank of our army, it is enough to defend it tightly. My lord, now our main focus should be on the right wing. After annihilating the enemy who came from the right wing, Ren Nagongsun Ce has a great plan, and it is not of much use without soldiers in his hands.

Now the left flank of our army is being disturbed. This shows that the enemy's army is strategically tight on the right flank. Trying to distract us and reduce the pressure on others. We can't be in the tricks of Gongsun Ce, lest we take care of both ends, but we pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. ”

Another advisor advised: "Your Excellency, according to the humble opinion of your subordinates, you should continue to send soldiers and horses from the left flank to the right flank to help and destroy the enemy from the right flank of our army in one fell swoop." Then our army can take advantage of the momentum to advance, and force Wang Mang to lead the people back to the Tiger Prison Pass with a rolling momentum. In this way, your original plan will be realized.

The subordinates expected that the number of ambush soldiers who came to invade the left flank of our army would only be two or three hundred, and it would not be a big deal. Gongsun Ce only has 4,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and I have already found out that he has 3,000 troops on the right flank of our army and 708 on the Chinese army, so where are there any extra men and horses to arrange other defense lines? ”

When Pi Tong heard this, he suddenly woke up and praised: "Shiyuan, Zishuo, you are reasonable, I almost fell for Gongsun Ce's tricks again." ”

Strategists Zishuo and Shi Yuanqi replied: "My lord, because you have a lot of worries, your mind is scattered, and it is difficult to concentrate, otherwise your lordship will be able to see through all the plans of Gongsun Ce. ”

Pi Tong took a deep breath, calmed down, and ordered Zhang Ming to go and reply to Zhang Hu, the commander of the left wing.

Back and forth, more than half an hour passed, and when Zhang Hu heard Pi Tong's reply, he was unwilling, but he couldn't. had to continue to order troops and order his generals to help the right flank.

In an instant, the entire left flank was almost empty, and the defenders were less than a thousand men.

Chen Chong, who was hiding in the shadows, saw the situation and was slightly anxious.

This is not consistent with the original plan formulated by Gongsun Ce. Because in the original plan, Pi Tong should have increased the left flank, instead of continuing to send the left flank to increase the right flank.

Pi Tong continued to increase his troops on the right flank, and Chen Chong saw through his plan at a glance. knew that he was going to concentrate most of his troops and wipe out the three thousand soldiers and horses led by Ziliang in one fell swoop.

After thinking about it for a while, he said to his subordinates: "You quickly report the situation here to Mr. Gongsun and see what arrangements he has." ”

The soldiers heard the words, quickly whipped their horses, and rushed to the Gongsun Ce camp to report the situation.

Chen Chong saw that this person had left, and said to the remaining soldiers: "Everyone, the left flank of the enemy army is empty at this moment, and we can take advantage of the situation to increase the intensity of the attack. If we can completely break through the defense of the left flank of the other army, then we should have a miracle feat. ”

"Yes, sir!" The generals nodded, and Qi Shushu rushed out of the shadows again, gathered together, shot the enemy guards, and stormed the defensive line.

In the rear of the Pi army, Dong Wu and other generals had already completed their tasks, scattered the Pi army's five-march army array, and burned the Pi army's heavy grain and grass.

However, just as they were about to return, they were surrounded by soldiers escorting grain and grass, and the form was extremely tight.

Although Dong Wu and the others broke through the formation very quickly, it made it impossible for Pi Tong's heralds to send orders to escort the grain and grass generals first, resulting in their failure to make effective defenses in time. However, when these soldiers who escorted the grain and grass saw that the grain and grass were suddenly burned, they also took action one after another, and they blocked all retreats. So that Dong Wu and others had no way to escape, and they could only fight with these soldiers to the end.

Dong Wu and others suffered a lot of casualties because of the previous attack on the Pi Army's Five Elements Great Array. Coupled with the continuous battles and killings, the physical exertion is even greater. Now facing the siege of many soldiers, it is slightly more powerful and difficult to parry.

Half of the killings were made, and the remaining fifty or so people were lost more than half again.

Dong Wu glanced around and said with a wry smile: "General Yanyang, General Zhang Gen, General Yan You, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to break out of the encirclement this time." ”

Yan You and the others replied in unison: "General Dong, that's true, but we've already got enough. Looking at the movements of the Pi army, our army must have succeeded. In this way, Mr. Gongsun's initial arrangement has been completed for the most part. For the rest of the day, we can't do anything about it.

In this surprise attack, we killed nearly 1,000 enemies, which is an unimaginable achievement. Hou Huo, the champion of that year, led 800 horsemen and easily broke the camp of the royal court in the rear of the Huns. Now more than 100 of us have broken the Pitong army formation and burned their baggage. This military feat is enough to make us look at Jiuquan. ”
