Hearing the commotion outside, Guo Shicong and other generals came out of the camp one after another, only to see hundreds of cavalry galloping back and forth in the crowd, they tried to avoid the Xuanzhou army head-on battle, when they encountered the soldiers gathered together, they would take a detour, and when they encountered a lone soldier, they naturally killed them unceremoniously.

After waiting for a while, seeing that a large number of soldiers of the Wuhu Army had already lined up and were ready to outflank them, these cavalry quickly escaped before the enemy army encircled, leaving only a messy battlefield and a dozen corpses on the ground.

"General, since we set out from Wuhu three days ago, these cavalry have been harassing us, but they have never engaged us head-on. The soldiers are already exhausted, and everyone can't stand it anymore. The adjutant complained.

In the past three days alone, they have been harassed many times, sometimes on the march, sometimes when they are encamped, sometimes when they stop to rest, and even late at night the soldiers are not at peace, and they must be on guard at all times.

But the cavalry that attacked them never fought them head-on, but when the guards on this side were slightly relaxed, they rushed over and slashed like a gust of wind, and when they were ready, they fled immediately.

As a result, after three days, the soldiers of the 5,000-strong Wuhu Army had to be careful whether they were on the march, resting at night, or even eating, and now they were exhausted and their hearts were full of fear.

Guo Shicong was a little helpless in the face of this situation, and only knew that the soldiers could not relax in strict defense, but there was no way to break the deadlock.

"General, the enemy army does not have more than 100 troops every time it comes out to attack, and the strength of this size must be trying to exhaust us with constant harassment, and wait until we are completely exhausted before attacking. Therefore, in the opinion of the general, we must take the initiative to attack. Deputy General Su Zhihe bowed and said.

Guo Shicong was silent when he heard this, he also thought about finding the enemy army and taking the initiative to attack, but every time the spies sent out were killed by the enemy scouts within two or three miles of leaving the army, and now he knows nothing about the situation of the enemy army.

"Please don't hesitate general, Marshal Jie led the army to drag the main force of the Huainan Army in Xuanzhou, so there must be only enemy cavalry in this vicinity, and the number is less than a thousand, but our army has 5,000 soldiers, as long as the enemy army is found and eliminated in one fell swoop, then the general will make a great achievement!" Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Zhihe continued to persuade.

As Tian Yan's brother-in-law, he also knew that his high position depended not on his own ability, but on Tian Yan's relationship. So he also wants to be able to prove his ability.

At this time, the rest of the leaders also opened their mouths to persuade: "Please also ask the general to give an order, let me and others take the initiative to attack and destroy the enemy army!" ”

Seeing that everyone had been talking, Guo Shicong smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then the general will agree to your request." It's just that the enemy army comes and goes like the wind, how can we find the other party's camp? ”

"Don't worry, general, his subordinates have already paid attention. If the enemy can keep attacking us, then their camp must be nearby. I don't know if the general has noticed, every time the enemy attacks our army, they enter from the east, and every time they evacuate, they also flee east, so the enemy's camp must be to the east of our army, and it is not far from us. Su Zhihe said with a smile.

Guo Shi Congxi said: "General Su's resourcefulness really deserves his reputation, if our army can break the enemy in one fell swoop today, the general should be the first to take the lead, and the general will also speak well for you in front of the marshal!" ”

"This is all the credit of the general, and the general will not dare to take credit." Su Zhihe was overjoyed in his heart, but he tried to say as calmly as possible.

Guo Shicong then said: "Although it is judged that the enemy camp is in the east, they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and our army is infantry, the speed is too slow, I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch up with them, I don't know what kind of trick General Su has?" ”

"There is a river to the east from here, and now there is enough water to cross it. When the next time the enemy comes to attack us again, the general can divide the army into three, all the way from the north and all the way from the south, and the general himself will chase after us, as long as the enemy army is driven to the river, they will not have no way to retreat, and can only obediently be surrounded by our army? ”

Master Guo was overjoyed, nodded again and again: "This plan is very wonderful, this plan is very wonderful." ”

He immediately ordered the whole army to be divided into three routes, and only waited for the enemy to attack the camp again and then went out in pursuit.

That night, after three consecutive days of harassment, the soldiers of the Wuhu army were exhausted. After dinner, everyone fell asleep except for the sergeant in charge of the guard. However, the generals got the news that they would attack tonight, so they held on and did not sleep.

The camp was very quiet at night, and the cool night breeze blew the green grass in the fields, drifting with the wind, and from time to time the chirping of unknown insects could be heard in the grass. There was no moon in the sky, no fingers could be seen, only the occasional light came from the torches in the hands of the patrolling soldiers.

The soldiers were also exhausted and drowsy. But they knew that there must be enemy soldiers attacking tonight, so they all forced themselves to open their eyes and look at the darkness around them, hoping to detect the enemy attack in advance.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from a distance, quickly approaching. The soldiers who were patrolling were startled, and hurriedly gathered to the camp and spread their bows and crossbows, ready to strike a blow at the enemy hidden in the darkness, and the mournful sound of the alarm horn shook the night.

The camp suddenly boiled, and people shouted and neighed, and there was a mess. The soldiers who had just fallen asleep were called out from their tents by officers of all ranks, and they rushed out of the tents with swearing, and quickly gathered together, making all kinds of preparations to deal with the enemy's surprise attack and robbery of the camp.

"Sure enough, it's here again, tonight will definitely deal a fatal blow to the enemy, so that these people who are constantly pestering us can also taste our strength! Generals, brace yourself and get ready to attack! Hearing the horn, Guo Shicong hurriedly got up and said to the other generals who had been staying in his tent.

As before, the attacking enemy cavalry hid in the dark and shot arrows at them, using various methods to make them uneasy, but they never engaged them head-on, and when Guo Shi led the soldiers out of the camp, they quickly retreated to the east.

"Catch up! General Su, you led an army of 1,500 people to copy from the south, General Liu, you also led 1,500 people to copy from the north, and the general personally led the rest of the people to pursue from behind, be sure to find the enemy's camp and destroy them in one fell swoop! ”

"The last general obeys!" The generals bowed down one after another.

"Okay, attack quickly, don't let the enemy run away, of course, you must also be careful when pursuing, don't be taken advantage of by the enemy!" Guo Shicong admonished.
