Although the people's army had not taken it seriously, Yi Jing's defenders were scared away by Tian Yu's white horse cavalry, but Yuan Xi did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately asked someone to write a letter to Yi Jing's Zhao Rui to explain.

However, the messenger of the letter had only set out for an hour before he hurried back, and said, "Report to my lord, the other party has begun to shoot arrows from the city before I can get close, and I have no choice but to shout, saying that I am the second son's man, and I have come to deliver the letter." The other party didn't believe me, saying that I was a spy and wouldn't let me enter the city. I don't think there's a way out, so I have to come back again......"

After he spoke for a while, he began to curse: "I am so alone, they dare not let me enter the city, I am really cowardly." I all suggested that I could put down my weapon, and just begged Lord Zhao to take a look at the letter, and they laughed at me and bombarded me away. It's infuriating. ”

Yuan Xi frowned and said to the left and right: "What should I do?" I had to go myself......"

"No!" Tian Chou said: "This time they may have an ambush, and it will not be good for you to be injured by the stray arrow." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Then what should I do?" You can't just wait here for the army to encircle and suppress, right? ”

Tian Chou said: "In my opinion, send someone to observe the surroundings. If a large army comes, move quickly. If there are not many people coming, they will directly defeat the captives, and when they have captured enough captives, they can force the other party to sit down and talk. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Damn, this Zhao Rui, his brain is like paste, if it spoils my big thing and slows down the farming plan, I have to join him." ”

So he scattered his men again, and only arranged for a few men to guard the sentry. One day later, Yi Jing's side really mobilized the troops and horses, and at noon another group of people came, this time about 2,000 people. They formed a line and pressed towards them.

Yuan Xi hurriedly summoned everyone and asked, "What should I do?" Hit or run? ”

Tian Chou shook his head and said, "We only have two hundred people, and the other party has two thousand, so we can't afford to fight, so let's transfer." ”

As soon as he said this, several company commanders and platoon commanders were not convinced, and their expressions were written on their faces.

Yuan Xi sighed: "It's a pity, this wasteland is all ready and waiting to be reclaimed." ”

Tian Yu said: "If the two thousand people are the guards of the battle formation for a long time, Tian is willing to capture them in one battle." ”

Yuan Xi said: "This is not a war, they are all their own people." If you are dead or injured, it will not be easy. Besides, the other party is 2,000 people, and they are also mentally prepared, so they should not be scared away by us this time. ”

Tian Yu said: "Second son, rest assured, a certain plan has his own plan." As long as you give me everything. ”

Yuan Xi was curious for a while, so he wanted to see what Tian Yu was capable of, so he asked Xu Dayan and He Daniu to follow Tian Yu to prepare. He and Zhao Yun led their own soldiers to watch the play.

Tian Chou muttered beside him: "The art of war is cloudy: ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it if it is doubled, the enemy can divide it, if it is less, it can escape, and if it is not, it can be avoided." Now that we are one, the other party is ten, and it is really not advisable to hit a stone with an egg. ”

Yuan Xi said lightly: "Mr. Tian, don't worry, in my eyes, there is no difference between our two hundred people and two thousand, you have to consider what kind of soldier this is." It just so happens that the people's army hasn't loosened its muscles and bones for a long time, so take this opportunity to exercise well. ”

Tian Chou turned his head, glanced at him stupidly, and said, "Second son, you are too big a bull." ”

Although I know that this lord loves to brag, what economics, sociology, and psychology are set up, but you can't always rely on bragging to fight. Anyway, he himself had already tied his shoelaces and was ready to run away at any time.

The people's army came this time with a total of more than 300 people, except for 200 people, who were the main structure of the previous first and second companies, and the remaining three companies were newly formed, and this time they were guarded as reserves. They have a total of three camps, which are distributed in a zigzag shape. The other party where they camped was called Yingyang, and next to a river called Yingshui, which was a tributary of the Yellow River. This should be water, said to be cut off every winter, and in spring and summer the water comes again, so it is called should be water. Now there is no water in the middle of the riverbed, so there are three camps, two to the north of Yingshui and one to the south of Yingshui, separated by a mud ditch.

Yuan Xi watched from afar in the camp to the south. He looked at the flags waving in the distance, dusty, and seemed to be very loud. And today's wind direction is also not good for them, blowing a north wind, and they are just a headwind on their side. couldn't help but worry: "The people's army is a unit that I brought out with great difficulty, and it won't capsize in the gutter." ”

Suddenly, the other side shouted, and the shouting shook the mountains. Two thousand people roared together, and this was terrifying enough.

Yuan Xi couldn't sit still, called Zhao Yun, and said, "Send someone out to see, how is the fight?" ”

Zhao Yun asked Zhang Ding and Lin Heizi, the pair of living treasures, to go out to inquire, and the two rode out on horseback.

I only heard the wind whistling in my ears, and it seemed that the other side was fighting very lively, and there were shouts coming from me, hula and la. And inside the camp, Yuan Xi and the others, you look at me, I look at you, the surroundings are quiet, and the crows can be heard nearby.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Zhang Ding and Lin Heizi returned.

"Good news, good news...... Zhang Ding shouted into the camp tent and said to Yuan Xi: "We won, the other party ran away." ”

"Win?" Yuan Xi raised his wrist to check the time, and found that he didn't have a watch, so he said, "How long?" ”

Zhao Yun said lightly: "A stick of incense time." ”

Yuan Xi suddenly said happily: "This is a win?" How to win? ”

Zhang Ding said: "I don't know, I saw the other party drop the flag and run, running faster than rabbits, our people chased after them, and caught one of them." ”

"And how many people have been caught now?"

Zhang Ding said: "There are three or four hundred people. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Brag, even if one person catches one, it is impossible to catch as many as three or four hundred people." ”

Zhang Ding shouted: "I didn't brag, those people don't need to be arrested, as long as they are ordered to squat, they will obediently squat down and wait there to be caught." ”

Tian Chou listened beside him, his eyes widened. He is still very nervous in his heart, this lord is just bragging, this subordinate is also bragging, this group of people is the legendary braggart army?

Yuan Xi couldn't help it, so he led everyone out of the camp, and met He Daniu with the soldiers of the second company coming back. He Daniu was counting the platoon commanders under his hand with a straight face: "Look at you, every time you let a series steal the limelight and let you grab the front, why don't you be brave?" Now that the captives have been captured, we have not caught anything. ”

The platoon commander looked aggrieved and said, "I don't know, who knew that the gang was so brittle, and I was defeated before I led people to surround it." I can't catch up even if I try my best. That guy named Gao Shun is too fierce. ”

Yuan Xi hurriedly grabbed He Da Niu and said, "How is it?" ”

He Daniu hung his head and said, "The other party was beaten away by us." ”

Yuan Xi scolded: "Why do you have this expression when you win?" ”

He Daniu sighed and said, "Let Xu Dayan run away?" We didn't even smell a fart......"

Tian Chou's eyes became more and more rounded, and he pondered in his heart: "Could it be that two hundred people have won before all of them are on?" ”

After a while, Tian Yu also came over with more than 20 white horse cavalry.

Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "General Tian has worked hard, I have heard that this battle is fought beautifully, and it all depends on General Tian's command." ”

Tian Yu got off the horse, suddenly fell silent, and then said: "Ashamed, ashamed!" ”

Yuan Xi scratched his head and said, "What's wrong?" ”
