Jiang Wan, who had been thinking about it for a few hours, lived up to Cao's expectations of him, and came up with a plan that met his requirements:

"My lord! The entire Jiangxia Jiangnan Shaxian County, E County, Xiapheasant County, Pingchun County, and the four counties are in the hands of Zhao Ci, and its base is in the water, mountains and forests in the south of Jiangxia.

It is better for our army to blockade the river with sailors, cut off its food supply, and then use it to surround the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River to force Zhao Ci to go south to defend! Find fighters from it, break one city and deter three cities, and strive to win the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop! ”

In the four cities south of the Yangtze River in Jiangxia, the first county seat of Shaxian is 2,000, and the rest are only 1,000 people, leaving five times the number of troops to surround Shaxian, and then leaving 10,000 sailors to guard the river.

There were 40,000 troops left, enough to surround the three cities with ten times the strength at the same time.

Cao "sex" immediately decided: "The newly built Chibi Water Village is the throat and transit station of the river, and it cannot be abandoned, and Shaxian is the throat of Jiangxia, and if you can't take it, you will trap the Zhongshan and Yue rebels in the city, so as not to affect our layout, so we need a brave, resourceful and steady general, among the generals, I think the experienced General Cai is the most suitable." ”

Cao "sex" looked at Cai Yang and instructed: "General Cai, a certain number of 8,000 soldiers, 2,000 regular soldiers, and then Liao Hua will lead the 200 flag soldiers with white flags, and Li Feng, who joined the army, to help you, you just need to be optimistic about Sha Xian, if you have the opportunity, take Sha Xian!" I don't know if it's possible? ”

It is very easy to complete this task and the score of the grid, which is equivalent to sending the battle merit to Cai Yang, but it is difficult to hand in a high score, or even a full score paper.

If the combat effectiveness is high, there are 2,000 regular soldiers and 200 inlaid white flags, and 8,000 cantonment soldiers cannot fight a hard battle, and if it is a field battle, it is very likely to lag behind, and the overall combat strength is actually on a par with the 2,000 Shanyue rebels.

The advantage lies in the confidence brought by numbers, as well as the fact that the opponent is intimidated by numbers, and the establishment of fortifications and defenses, and it is still possible to trap Sha Xian's rebels.

"No!" Cai Yang shouted his order.

"Without further ado! Lu Fan, you led 5,000 soldiers to stay in Chibi Water Village, and the rest of the people took advantage of the darkness to tidy up their salutes, do not pull out the camp, and after dinner, they set off to board the ship at night. ”

The generals immediately started to act, and seeing that the number one personal bodyguard Lu Fan's face was worried, Cao "sex" "revealed" a confident smile: "Don't worry, Gong is here, and one day life is hard!" ”

At dusk, Cao Zhen led thousands of soldiers and launched another feint attack, just to prevent the rebels from resting.

After nightfall, Liao Hua took the only 10,000 soldiers, hundreds of soldiers who were not seriously blind, divided into five teams, one with several torches, and launched a wheel battle at night, and the Shanyue rebels were disturbed all night.

During the day, the siege commanded by Cai Yang began again, with three city gates, and attacks were launched from time to time, each time as little as two thousand, as many as four thousand, and sometimes several city walls at the same time.

Two thousand rebels ran around, defended everywhere, and waited until noon, spending a day and a night on the tense battlefield in a row, never eating a good meal, and the Shanyue rebels, who had not rested much, never ran again.

The two thousand men were divided into three teams to defend the three walls, and the east, which had not been attacked, left only a few dozen men as a sentry.

Regardless of whether the Cao army attacked the city or not, it no longer supported and tossed back and forth, and it was completely unaware that the Cao camp with flags covering the sky was mostly empty.

Next to Shaxian County is Pingchun County, which is located on the south bank of the Dajiang River, and they are not far from the river, and the remaining Exian County and Xiapheasant County in the south of the Jiangxia River are also on the edge of the south bank of the Dajiang River.

I set out at night, deliberately reducing the speed of the boat, and the journey did not take an hour.

After finding a gentle stall, the fleet put down the sampan, and the 40,000 troops landed one after another, and went straight to Pingchun County.

At this time, it was the fifteenth day of February in the third year of Zhongping, and the full moon had climbed the hillside and hung in the east, and the earth under its illumination was bright.

"The timing is unfavorable!"

Jiang Wan looked at the full moon and blamed himself for his mistake.

"What's the difference between this and daylight?" Liu Ba, who didn't want to cover up, said it very bluntly.

On such a bright day, the sneak attack is too easy to be discovered, but the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to return, so it is better to give it a go.

Jiang Wan needed encouragement for the first time, and this was not the time to complain.

Cao "sex" adjusted his mentality, and a smile of approval appeared on his face: "Gongyan, the only purpose of the night attack is two, one is to cover the night 'color', and the other is to say: the person has fallen asleep."

At this time, although there is no cover, but the night is still night, no matter how bright the day is, you also need to sleep, at this time it has passed the second watch, close to the third watch, and the Shanyue rebels are afraid that they have already fallen asleep.

The effect of the sneak attack is still there. ”

Jiang Wan knew that Cao's "sex" was comforting him, and his face was only slightly softened, but the self-blame in his heart was even worse.

Cao "sex" said as he spoke, and suddenly thought to his heart: "Gongyan is really a god!" This move must go down to Jiangnan! ”

Jiang Wan, Liu Ba, Liu Xian and others "revealed" suspicious and "confused" expressions, and this blow made them crazy.

Cao "Xing" didn't have time to think about what they thought, and quickly gave an order: "Immediately notify Li Dian, who commanded the landing, and ask him to let the army come back to the ship."

Leaving 2,000 regular soldiers, 8,000 soldiers, and Cao Zhen's 500 positive yellow banners, with Han Zhong as the main general and Cao Zhen as the deputy general, rushed to Pingchun overnight, stopped when they were ten miles away from Pingchun, and divided into three roads, surrounded by ten miles as a forbidden area, and secretly surrounded Pingchun.

When they arrived at the place, the whole army only set up tents and slept for a while, and they could not light fires or make sounds, and now that the sky was so bright, there was no need to light fires!

Getting up at the fourth watch, it is expected that the moon has begun to set on the mountain, but it has not completely set, and with this short time, the three people slowly "touched" to Pingchun County.

When the moon has completely set, the sky has become pitch black, and it is also the time when the enemy army is most asleep. The three-way army launched a surprise attack at the same time, striving to take Pingchun in one fell swoop! ”

"No!"

Hearing that there was a big battle to be fought, the herald responded excitedly, not only him, but Cao "sex" used a surprise attack to take advantage of the time difference, which made everyone who heard it "exposed" their excitement.

"Repeat!" Seeing that the herald was emotional, Cao emphasized it uneasily.

In the era when there were no telegraphs, telephones and other communication equipment, being able to serve as a commanding soldier had a super memory, otherwise in the rapidly changing battlefield, it would not be possible to effectively convey orders.

The herald dictated Cao's order, and the content was the same, so Cao nodded and sent three heralds over at the same time.

Han Zhong, who received the order, excitedly bowed in the direction of Cao "sex", and shouted loudly: "Never live up to the cultivation and expectations of the lord!" ”

After that, he began to count the troops.

The army that had just landed returned to the ship again, and the fleet set sail urgently, picked up speed, and sailed towards Exian.

After arriving in Exian, put down the sampan again and landed.

Cao "sex" ordered Li Dian to be the main general, Gongsun Gong to join the army, and the Zhou Dynasty with 200 Zhenghongqi as the deputy general, together with 2,000 regular soldiers and 8,000 tun soldiers, with the same strategy as Pingchun, to kill Exian.
