The estimate of the general of the Junshui battalion Baili Ba was indeed accurate, and by the time it was October 29, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, had arrived near Yanshui with an army of as many as 80,000.

When approaching Yanshui, because he was not clear about the situation ahead, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, ordered the whole army to slow down and sent people to investigate the situation ahead.

Unexpectedly, the returning scout actually said that the army of Wei was only shrinking in its large camp and did not move.

Hearing the news, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, was obviously stunned.

Because there has never been an army in the world that would make such a negative move of "not wanting to forge ahead" after a great victory.

It stands to reason that the army of Wei should not take advantage of the situation to regain lost territory?

Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, frowned, as if Wei Jun's unreasonable move made him a little overwhelmed.

On the side, the general's eyes flashed after hearing the scout's return, and he reminded in a deep voice: "Childe, this Wei army ...... There are very clever generals! ”

"After all, it was Xiong Hu's army that won the battle......" Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, sighed slightly, reached out and rubbed his eyebrow bone.

Yes, he has a headache.

Because the response of the army Wei in front of him was completely unexpected by him.

He originally thought that the Wei army in front of him would choose to advance south and regain the lost territory, and in this way, he Xiong Tuo would be able to crush the opponent with his absolute superiority in numbers.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not move for six days.

What does this mean?

This obviously meant that the other side spent six days consolidating the defensive line and strengthening the defense of the camp.

Obviously, the Wei army on the opposite side also considered that their strength was not enough to defeat his army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng. Therefore, he gave up the initiative to attack and regain lost ground, and turned to stubbornly.

Admittedly, that's pretty clever to do.

Not everyone can stay calm after getting such a big victory, calmly analyze the odds of victory or defeat on both sides, instead of blindly and arrogantly feeling. Since they were able to completely annihilate the 60,000 Chu vanguard army, they could naturally defeat the nearly 100,000 army of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng.

"Tricky! Pretty tricky!'

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, slowly stepped forward with his war horse, and said: "Kill the father and the son, you two go to the front with a certain person to see what is going on, and call Lian Bi to take charge of the army." ”

"Yes."

The order was issued, and more than 80,000 Chu troops rested in place, while Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, took the general Zaifu Gan, Ziche Yu, and more than ten personal guards. Heading towards the Yanshui camp of the Wei army.

After riding his horse and galloping for a while, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, could vaguely see the Yanshui camp of the Wei army.

Seeing this, he looked around and saw a hill in front of him, so he dismounted with everyone, climbed the mound called Haogang by the locals, and climbed high to look at the Yanshui camp of Wei in the distance.

"Hiss......"

Standing on the hill, he squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the Yanshui camp of the Wei army in the distance, and took a look. He gasped.

In his eyes, the Yanshui camp of the Wei army opposite. Is it really just a barracks?

That's an impregnable fortress!

I saw that on the periphery of the Wei army's Yanshui camp, spears were fixed diagonally on the ground, densely packed. And a little further up, on the wooden wall of the barracks, there are embedded blades that rush out, the existence of these ghost things. It makes the entire Yanshui camp look like a hedgehog when viewed from a distance.

I can't tell!

"Good Guy......

Although Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, had been mentally prepared, he was still speechless for a long time by the scene in front of him.

"It's only been six days of work, and the Wei army actually built such a terrifying ghost thing? …… Well, that's not right.'"

After thinking for a moment, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, said wistfully: "It seems. Xiong Hu was not only defeated, but even the main camp was taken away......"

Zai's father and Zi Cheyu glanced at each other and did not speak.

Indeed, only this statement can explain how the Wei army was able to build such a fortress-like military camp in just six days.

"I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight ......"

Father Zai frowned and muttered.

Isn't it difficult to fight, in front of such a strong fortress that is almost like a hedgehog in full armament, what role can the infantry of the Chu army play even if there are many people? They didn't even have a chance to climb the walls of this military camp in Wei.

Climb?

What to climb? Could it be to climb the camp wall that looks like a mountain of knives?

Climb the blade in your hand, step on the blade, and climb over the camp wall full of sharp blades?

The infantry of the Chu State couldn't even get close to the wooden walls of the camp!

Are those dense "gun forests" on the periphery of the camp really ornamental? Is it true that the Wei crossbowmen in the camp are dead?

"What a vile and shameless defense......"

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, muttered to himself with a complicated expression, because from the Wei camp in the distance, which was a fortress, he seemed to smell a very similar smell to the cavalry that used the same despicable and shameless tactics.

He had a strong suspicion in his heart: the guy who advocated the construction of this fortress was definitely the same person who came up with the despicable and shameless tactics of the Wei cavalry!

"What do you two think?" Xiong Tuo asked the father beside him and Ziche Yudao.

Father Zai frowned and said, "Although this Wei camp is not in danger to defend, it can ...... But this kind of hedgehog-like fortress, I think that if our army forcibly attacks, we will suffer heavy casualties and leave it alone......" He shook his head and picked up the second half of the unfinished words: "I may not be able to take it!" ”

After he finished speaking, the general Cheyu also frowned and said, "It is not recommended that the son attack this camp." …… The Wei army was obviously prepared for a long time and knew that our army would come, so they created such a ...... I really don't know how to describe it. Well, extravagant...... A fortress of luxury. ”

"Extravagant ......"

Xiong Tuo smiled bitterly and nodded.

It's not a luxury, you must know that the wooden walls and perimeter of the Wei camp that they can see, those swords and spears, are enough to arm an army of tens of thousands of people.

There will never be a second army in the world, which would be so extravagant, throwing tens of thousands of weapons into it in order to build a fortress.

And the Wei army on the opposite side just did this. Because they completely annihilated the 60,000 vanguard army of the Chu State and collected mountains of weapons and armor, they would put those weapons into use in such a wasteful way without any distress.

And what made Xiong Tuo and the others feel a tightness in their chests was that they had obviously guessed where these weapons once belonged.

"Hit? Or don't you fight?'

Two diametrically opposed considerations have been circling in Xiong Tuo's mind for a long time, and they have been deadlocked.

In his opinion. In the face of such a fortress that can be called armed to the teeth, I am afraid that any general in the world will feel powerless.

If he could, he really didn't want to face this kind of "monster".

But he couldn't.

First of all, if his cousin Pingyujun Xiong Hu was still alive, then nine times out of ten he would be imprisoned in this Wei camp, as a captive, and the deep relationship between the two for many years made him unable to stand idly by and turn a blind eye.

Secondly, and most importantly.

That is. The Chu army could not ignore the existence of this military camp and bypass this military camp to attack the Wei city behind it.

You must know that it has been almost three months since the king of Chu declared war on Wei and he captured the city of Wei with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and it is conceivable that the city of Wei further north must be ready to be attacked. As the battle line continued to expand northward, it would not be possible to capture a Wei city in a month. This is a common occurrence in history.

After all, people are already prepared.

This is completely different from his Xiong Tuo, the king of the city, who conquered the six cities of Wei with lightning speed.

What's more, it is already winter now, although it has not snowed yet, but the weather has cooled down rapidly, at this time, the lone army went straight to the hinterland of Wei, ignoring the existence of this Wei camp. Not to mention 80,000 people, even 800,000 people will probably freeze to death and starve to death in a foreign land.

Therefore, this Wei battalion must be uprooted, and only in this way can Xiong Tuo continue to advance the front northward with confidence.

This is a step-by-step strategy. is the safest.

But to talk about fighting...... To be honest, Xiong Tuo is really not sure, the reason is that the Wei camp in front of him is too terrifying and terrifying.

So much so that he really didn't have the perfect confidence to conquer this Wei camp.

"Let's go back first."

After witnessing the enemy that his army was about to face, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and his party returned the same way and returned to the location of the army.

On that day, Xiong Tuo ordered his army to camp in the ruins of an abandoned Wei village, and ordered his soldiers to cut down trees nearby to build a camp.

There was no way, because the forests near the Wei army's Yanshui camp had been cut down by the Wei soldiers, and there was a large open field bare, and the view was so good.

Therefore, Xiong Tuo could only build a camp near the Wei village twenty miles away.

In the process of building the camp, the Chu soldiers hoped to find something useful in the village.

But unfortunately, I don't know whether this place was occupied by the army of Pingyujun Xiong Hu, or whether the army of Wei had cleaned it up in advance, in short, the entire village was burned down by a fire, not to mention the thatched house, not even a complete wall remained.

It was done so thoroughly, it was obviously more likely that the Wei army was more likely than Pingyujun Xiong Hu, or rather, Pingyujun Xiong Hu's army came once, killed the villagers, and robbed useful things. And then, the Wei army came again, and simply burned the empty village with a fire, and there was not a single complete wall left for the Chu army.

After a busy time, there is no doubt that the tent was built first.

While the soldiers of Chu were busy cutting down forests and building camps, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, wrote a letter in the tent.

It is a letter full of intimidation and threat, but it is not a letter of war.

The gist of the article is nothing more than to let the Wei soldiers of the Yanshui battalion release Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu, otherwise how to do it.

Of course, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, did not expect this letter to really make Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu return safely, after all, the Wei people were not fools, so how could they easily let go of such a bargaining chip.

The purpose of his writing this letter was, firstly, to test whether Pingyujun Xiong Hu was really a prisoner in the Wei camp, and secondly, to "remind" the Wei army general Pingyujun Xiong Hu of the importance so that his cousin would not suffer in the Wei camp.

After all, the living chips that can be used for prisoner exchange and trading generally do not suffer too many crimes.

This is the only thing that Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, can do for his cousin at the moment. (To be continued.) )
