Back in early March, when the Su Wangjun's "step by step" tactics were just being revealed, the Han army in Linshu City finally noticed the shocking changes in the area of Linshu Plain.

Because a while ago, Sima Shang, the defender of Linshu City, and Jin Di, Feng Ying and others who came to defect not long ago, have always focused their attention on the three Wei armies that tried to attack Linwu and the common land - that is, the Wei Wu Army, the Northern First Army and the Shanyang Army.

Under the command of Sima Shang, Jin Huang and Feng Ting, the defense of the worries can be said to be impermeable and impregnable, which made the Wei general Shaohu, who had repeatedly attacked but gained nothing, secretly angry in his heart, so as the commander-in-chief, urged Zhao Hongrun and Wei Mu, who were stationed in the "Xitun Wei Camp in Jidi", to let them step up the attack on Jixian.

I have to say that in the battles that took place in Gongdi at that time, the Han army did fight well, repeatedly repelling the Wei army that tried to occupy Gongdi, and Shaohu could not catch the slightest flaw.

In this case, Sima Shang, Jin Huang, and Feng Ying all believed that they could block the three Wei armies, the Wei Wu Army, the Shanyang Army, and the Northern First Army, in the area of Linxi and Gongdi, and they were full of confidence.

And suddenly, one day, Jin Huang mentioned: "What about Wei Gongzirun's army?" ”

Hearing this, Sima Shang and Feng Ying looked at each other, and they realized that the Wei army they feared the most, the Su Wang Army, had not yet appeared.

So they immediately sent scouts to investigate everywhere, looking for the traces of Su Wang's army, but they didn't expect to accidentally find that Wei Gongzirun's army had actually built a dense small stronghold and a low wall with a height of one person on the Linshu Plain southeast of their Linshu City.

At that time, those Han troops repelled and rode to pursue the direction of the Wei army, and traced it to Ji County, only to learn that Ji County had been conquered by the Wei army, and what was hung on the city tower was the banner of the two armies under the command of Wei Gongzi Run, "Shang Shui Army" and "Yan Ling Army".

Seeing this, the cavalry hurriedly returned to Linshu and told the three generals the information they had sought, namely Sima Shang, Jin Huang, and Feng Ting.

Oh my God, what the hell is going on?!

Sima Shang, Jin Di, and Feng Ying glanced at each other at that time, and they all saw the look of shock in each other's eyes.

Ji County was captured by Wei Gongzi Run's army, this matter is not concerned for the time being, after all, the strength of the Su Wang army under Wei Gongzi Run, Jin Huang and Feng Ying are very clear, even if the strength of the soldiers under Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, is not weak, but because of the low city wall of Ji County, they feel that it is difficult for Han Yang to hold this city.

But the Linshu Plain was occupied by the Wei army, what is going on?

The Linshu Plain is a plain that is more than 100 miles long and more than 60 miles wide, and the terrain on the plain is flat, and there are no woods to block the view, it stands to reason that this is the battlefield where their Korean cavalry can give full play to their strength, how could it be so easily occupied by Wei Gongzirun's army?

Therefore, Sima Shang exclaimed and asked those who had lied about the military situation: "Is this serious?" …… If there is half a lie, it will not be forgiven! ”

When those reprimands heard this, they didn't even dare to say it.

Seeing this, Sima Shang carefully inquired about the movements of the Wei army on the Linxi Plain.

So, with a look of grievance, the repulsors told what they had seen on the Linshu Plain: "The Wei army has built a lot of watchtower strongholds on the (Linxi) Plain, which are connected by low walls about six or seven feet high...... For some reason, there were traces of the Wei army everywhere on the plain, and there was no cavalry of Lord Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin. ”

Hearing this, Sima Shang, Jin Di, and Feng Ying looked at each other, and a little surprise appeared on their faces. After all, they are also experienced generals, and some things can be guessed with just a few thoughts.

"It's unexpected......"

Licking his lips, Jin Di said with a wry smile with a bit of admiration and bitterness: "I didn't expect that Wei Gonggongrun to make a strange plan again, and actually use this method to restrict my Korean cavalry......"

Hearing this, Feng Ying also frowned, and sighed in agreement: "This is troublesome, the storm kite also asked me to wait before, and planned to inflict heavy damage on the Wei army on the Linshu Plain, but according to the current state of affairs, if you want to defeat that Wei Gongzirun according to the original plan, I'm afraid it's ......."

On the side, Sima Shang listened to Jin Huang and Feng Ting's words, and his brows furrowed deeply.

In all fairness, Sima Shang looked down on Jin Huang and Feng Ting, and he felt that these two people seemed to have been frightened by that Wei Gongzirun, so that when the two of them spoke, they inadvertently carried respect and admiration for that Wei Gonggongrun.

But then again, building strongholds and low walls on the plains to restrict the area of activity of their Korean cavalry is indeed a clever trick in Sima Shang's opinion, the question is, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, and the general Storm Kite, actually watched the Wei army build defenses in the plains?

Sima Shang believes that there must be something in this that they do not know.

I have to say that Sima Shang's judgment was quite accurate, not that Storm Kite and Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, did not want to prevent the Wei army from building a defense on the Linxi Plain, but that they couldn't do it. Because the Wei soldiers equipped with Wugang vehicles could almost ignore the Korean cavalry.

In addition, Sima Shang was also very confused about the materials used by the Wei army to build the defense.

Because according to the rebuke, the Wei army used burnt bricks and mud to build those strongholds and low walls.

Burning bricks, Sima An naturally knows this thing, the problem is that "mud", what kind of mud can make the masonry stronghold and low wall so solid?

He had the impression that if mud and water were mixed into mud, and this mud was used to repair the stronghold and low walls, wouldn't it be a push-and-dozen?

But why are the strongholds and low walls repaired by the Wei army so impregnable?

In order to verify his suspicions, Sima Shang led three hundred horsemen out of Linshu City the next day and went straight to the Linshu Plain.

Sure enough, he saw a series of low walls on the Linshu Plain, which divided the originally flat and empty plain into several areas, and every five miles apart, the Wei army repaired a watchtower stronghold.

These watchtower strongholds are large and small, the small ones may only be a few zhang square, and only about ten Wei soldiers are stationed, and the large ones are about 100 zhang square, and about 50 to 100 soldiers are stationed.

At that time, Sima An ignored the Wei soldiers in those strongholds, and only ordered his cavalry to try to destroy those low walls.

But what puzzled him was that the low walls, which were obviously made of masonry and some kind of mud, were so strong that the cavalry under his command could not destroy them with all their might, even slashing with knives and smashing them with guns.

During this period, Sima Shang noticed that there were remnants of mud in the cracks of those masonry, so he tried to break it, but what he didn't expect was that this mud was unexpectedly hard, which did not fit his impression of the mixture of soil and water.

When he finally got a piece of debris, Sima Shang pinched this piece of debris and looked shocked, he would never believe that this was ordinary mud.

At this time, the Wei army in the watchtower in the distance had already noticed them and immediately lit a beacon fire.

Seeing the beacon fire, Sima Shang felt that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, just as he was quickly retreating to Linshu City, he saw several Wei troops of about 1,000 people quickly rushing to the area where the beacon fire was lit to support.

Among them, there was a team of 1,000 Wei troops, after encountering them head-on, they quickly climbed over the wall and hid behind those low walls, using those low walls as cover to build a defensive formation.

To be honest, in fact, even if those Wei soldiers did not hide behind the low wall, Sima Shang, who only brought three hundred horsemen this time, would not have ordered an attack.

But then again, the actions of these Wei soldiers made Sima Shang see the function of those low walls again.

He had to admit it, not to mention that he only had 300 cavalry under his command at the moment, even if it was 3,000 cavalry, how could he really defeat this Wei army hiding behind the low wall?

Strongholds, low walls, beacon ......

The more Sima Shang thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he gradually understood why Jin Huang and Feng Ying were so jealous of that Wei Gongzirun.

"This battle...... It's not going to be a good fight.'"

Sima Shang thought worriedly.

Sure enough, a few days later, the Wei army repeated its old tricks and repaired several strongholds and low walls in Gongdi.

At that time, Sima Shang was shocked when he heard about this, and immediately led his army out of the city with Jin Huang and Feng Ting, hoping to prevent the Wei army from building defenses in Gongdi.

However, when they arrived at Gongdi, what they saw was a wall made of a kind of chariot spliced together - the Wei army arranged these chariots into a square gate array, and without any scruples about the army led by Sima Shang, Jin Huang, and Feng Ting, they repaired a small city-like stronghold under the gaze of the Han army.

During this period, Sima Shang, Jin Huang, and Feng Ying tried to attack several times, but each time they were easily repelled by the Wei army.

It is no exaggeration to say that they simply did not have a way to break through the chariots of the Wei army.

About ten days later, the Wei army ignored the Han army and pushed those battlefields away, and then the Wei army's Northern First Army and Shanyang Army quickly entered the newly built small city stronghold.

Looking at the small city that was built in Gongdi in just about ten days, and then looking at the military flag with the word "Wei" fluttering in the walls of that small city, Sima Shang, Jin Di, and Feng Ying were shocked, because they knew that Gongdi had been occupied by the Wei army.

How so?

After returning to Linwu that day, Sima Shang, Jin Di, and Feng Ying looked at each other for a long time and were speechless.

After more than ten years of soldiers and more than ten years of fighting, they have never encountered an enemy army, and they actually repaired the defense of the stronghold under their noses, and it was built in just a few fucking days!

Then something even more ridiculous happened: they still had tens of thousands of troops after not fighting a battle, but they had lost their common land.

They suddenly felt that they had become unable to fight for half their lives, and they could no longer see the situation on the battlefield, let alone how to continue the war.

The reason is that the Wei army adopted a tactic that they did not expect at all this time: advance, build a defense, advance again, build a defense again, and gradually compress the area of activity of their Korean army, so that the Korean army has tens of thousands of cavalry, but it does not play a half role.

In this case, Sima Shang, Jin Huang, Feng Ying and others could only pin their hopes on the army in the hands of the generals Storm Kite and Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, hoping that those two could curb the Wei army's frenzied advance tactics.

Because they are really helpless.

However, Sima Shang and the others didn't know that the current situation of the two of them, General Storm Kite and Dangyin Marquis Han Yang, was not much better than them.
