In early April, at the suggestion of Zhang Wu and Kou Yanqing's request for help, Wang Zongshou finally decided to change his previous strategy and began to march north, trying to join the Liang army first.

This is not a good thing for the Wu army, because the Wu army does not have many troops to contain the Shu army, and it can easily contain the Shu army with the help of the dangerous terrain near Yiling, but when it comes to flat terrain, it is naturally much more difficult to continue to contain the Shu army.

Fortunately, even if the Shu army wants to break through to the north, it must first break through the blockade of the Wu army, at least for a short time, it will be difficult for them to join the Liang army.

To the north of Jingmen, Kou Yanqing immediately decided to take a defensive position after learning that the rear was attacked by the cavalry of the Wu army and that the front was facing the attack of the main force of the Wu army.

On the one hand, he took advantage of the local terrain and divided his troops to build a large number of camps to ensure the safety of the grain route as much as possible and slow down the offensive of the Wu army.

At the same time, he did not forget to send people to urge Liu Jun, hoping that he could lead the army to help as soon as possible.

In the main camp of the Chinese army, Kou Yanqing looked at the battle report from the front with a sad face.

"Eight camps have been broken by the enemy in three days, and it seems that the Wu army is determined to destroy me! The offensive was also a little too sharp. ”

The Wu army attacked fiercely, although the camps set up by the Liang army were in some dangerous places to firmly hold the road, but under the offensive of the Wu army, these camps were still broken one after another.

If he continues like this, he is afraid that it will not be long before the enemy army will reach his main camp, and then he will have no other good way than to fight the enemy army.

But if it is to be a decisive battle, in the case of being inferior to the enemy army in all aspects, a rash decisive battle is only afraid of a situation where there are more losses and fewer wins, and Kou Yanqing is naturally unwilling to fight a decisive battle at this time.

In addition to the situation ahead, the situation in the rear is equally not optimistic.

Although Lexiang was always in the hands of the Liang army, the teams that transported grain and grass were not less raided by the enemy cavalry.

The enemy troops who came and went without a trace were like ghosts, threatening the Liang army's grain convoy at all times.

Although Kou Yanqing has never seen this tactic, he has heard of it many times, and the most famous of them is naturally the Jin army's excellent use of cavalry.

In the Battle of Gaoyi, the Jin army used this tactic to continuously weaken the Liang army, and defeated it in the last move.

In the subsequent wars, the Jin army also used this kind of cavalry attack tactics against the Liang army, which made the Liang army miserable.

However, what Kou Yanqing didn't expect was that now there was such a powerful cavalry in the Wu army, although their performance on the battlefield was not known to compare with the cavalry of the Jin army, but it was definitely stronger than the cavalry of the Liang army.

With the main enemy forces in front of them launching a fierce attack, and the enemy cavalry in the rear constantly harassing them, this situation will cause headaches for anyone who comes.

"It seems that we have to find a way to change the situation, otherwise our army will definitely not be able to hold out when the Shu army arrives."

He looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was clear, and there was not a single cloud, so he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"Damn, it rained one after another some time ago, why hasn't it rained for the past two days?"

If it rains, the roads are muddy and inconvenient to walk, and the enemy's offensive will naturally be affected; What's more, in the rain, the role of the cavalry will also be greatly affected, and the rear will be able to settle down at that time.

Then wait for the arrival of Liu Jun and the reinforcements of the Shu army, and there is hope that the defeat will turn into victory.

Of course, where is it so easy to turn the tide? At least Kou Yanqing pondered for a long time and didn't think of a suitable way.

At this moment, his heart moved, and he thought of a solution.

Immediately, he thought about it for a long time and finally made up his mind.

The next day, the Wu army attacked again, and the Liang army, as before, also resolutely resisted, but in the end could not resist and was broken through the camp by the enemy.

Each of these camps could accommodate two or three thousand people, and because they were closer to the Liang army, after the Wu army captured them, they naturally used them as their own camps after a little rest, so that it could also facilitate further attacks on the Liang army the next day.

On the third day, the Wu army attacked again, and the Liang army also resolutely resisted before abandoning the camp.

The same was true on the fourth day.

On the fifth day, the Wu army set out from the camp they had just captured and attacked again.

By this time, the Wu army was already extremely close to the main camp of the Liang army.

With just a few more camps, they would be able to attack the main camp of the Liang army; And if they can break through the enemy's main camp, then they will have achieved the final victory in this battle.

For a time, the morale of the Wu army, who had been greatly boosted by the successive victories, seemed to be the final victory at hand, and the attack became even more frenzied and heroic at the same time.

The enemy camp that will be captured today is relatively large, and it can accommodate four or five thousand troops.

Although the generals of the Wu army were full of confidence in launching an attack on such a large camp, they also felt that today's battle would not be as smooth as a few days ago, at least they should not be able to break through the enemy camp without paying a certain price.

Fortunately, the generals are not in a hurry, after all, judging from the news they have received, the Shu army is still being held back by Qin Pei, and it should take a while to come here to join the Liang army.

However, the Wu army is about to hit the main camp of the Liang army, with the strong strength of the Wu army, there is no need to use any conspiracy at this point, as long as it continues to attack with absolute strength, but it is necessary to beware of what tricks the Liang army uses.

Therefore, Wang Maozhang and other generals unanimously agreed, and then they fought steadily and steadily, not seeking credit, but seeking stability.

However, this time, when the Wu army launched an attack, it was found that the resistance of the Liang army was not as decisive as before.

You must know that the camps occupied before were relatively small, and they could only accommodate two or three thousand people, while the Wu army put into the attack as many as tens of thousands.

In this case, it is normal for the Liang army to be unable to resist the breached camp.

But now there are more than 5,000 Liang troops stationed in this enemy camp, and the attacking Wu army is still only 10,000.

It stands to reason that even if the Wu army can break through the camp, it will not be too easy, and the time should take at least a day or two.

However, the fact is that the Liang army seemed to be frightened out of its courage, and the resistance was still fierce at first, but by the time the sun was about to set in the afternoon, the resistance of the Liang army was getting weaker and weaker; At dusk, the Liang army completely collapsed, directly allowing the Wu army to easily occupy the camp.

The scattered Liang army fled to the rear in a panic, and the main battalion of the Liang army sent a large army to respond.

Seeing this situation, Wang Maozhang and other generals all had some joy on their faces.

"It seems that the enemy's morale is low at this time, and they can't stop our offensive!"

"In the next few days, let's work harder to capture the remaining camps, and then we can launch an attack on the enemy's main camp."

……

The generals watching the battle in the rear discussed with relaxed expressions.

Having breached a camp of 5,000 men so easily, the generals would naturally be delighted.

However, Chai Zaiyong and Guo Chongtao were hesitant when they met.

"General, it seems that today's battle is too easy to win, this enemy army can't be a fraud, right?" Guo Chongtao said with some concern.

"General Wang, I also feel that it is a bit strange to win today's battle, at least according to the previous situation, the enemy army is far from collapsing, so I think that Kou Yanqing may have some plans in secret!" On the side, Chai nodded again in agreement.

When the two of them said this, Wang Maozhang also frowned and groaned, and after a while he replied: "Anyway, we finally broke through a camp today, and it can be regarded as a small victory." Next, let's be cautious and cautious, don't take the enemy lightly, even if the enemy army has any tricks, it won't help us! ”

Liang Jun's performance today is indeed a bit abnormal, no one knows what Kou Yanqing's purpose is for this arrangement, even if Guo Chongtao and the others are a little uneasy in their hearts, but they are not immortals after all, it is difficult to guess the enemy's intentions.

"Maybe the purpose of the enemy's successive defeats is to make us careless, and then set up an ambush in the next camp? Or, is it true that the enemy army is exhausted and cannot stop the attack of our army, so there will be a rout? Guo Chongtao thought in his heart.

But then he laughed again, "No matter what, as long as we are careful and don't give the enemy a chance to surprise attack, I believe that there will be a day when we will hit the enemy's main camp." When the time comes, even if the enemy army is defeated, let them become real defeat! ”
