Since Liu Yi agreed to lead the troops, Lu Yan immediately invited Liu Yi to take a seat, just now as if nothing happened, as long as you are willing to cooperate, you and I are still the main generals, if you are unwilling, go home and farm as soon as possible.

"Jun is the deputy general, and he will attack Xiangcheng with me, I don't know how sure you are?" Lu Yan said very calmly, and at the same time poured a full glass of sake for Liu Yi.

Liu Yi hurriedly took the wine glass, and felt apprehensive in his heart, "I was born in Changsha County, and I traveled to Qianzhong County and Ba County in my early years, and I have a good understanding of the geography near Xiangcheng, or I can do it. ”

"The county guard's recommendation is definitely not an ordinary person, let's go back and rest for the time being, how about leading the troops to set off tomorrow?" Lu Yan also said immediately.

After all, compared with the other two roads in Xiangcheng, it is the most convenient from Shu County, but the distance from the fork to Shu County is farther, so after discussion, Changsha County must start first.

Liu Yi is quite modest, leading the troops strictly, and in Lu Yan's opinion, he is completely competent, "I will not disappoint the general, and I am determined to overcome Xiangcheng." "The words are very sincere.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yan said goodbye to the Changsha County Guard, and Liu Yi and Hu Hai Gongzi led 10,000 soldiers and horses to rush towards the Elephant City.

Looking at Lu Jing's side, the Qin army has more than 20,000 people, and the barbarian army has a total of 9,000 people, Ren Huan led 5,000 barbarian soldiers and 10,000 Qin troops to explore the wild road ahead, while Lu Jing was transporting grain and grass materials in the rear, although it was difficult, but it was also steady.

About ten days, through the middle of the house, many small valleys, has been completely close to the periphery of the elephant city, is very secretly stationed in more than ten miles of place, if it is in the Central Plains Han soil, maybe tens of thousands of troops are easy to find, but the elephant city near many hills and water, plus grass and trees, it is difficult to find the army.

As for Zhao Tuo, he quickly came to Shu County, and the county guard of Shu County was still very enthusiastic, 10,000 soldiers had already been prepared, all of them were local militiamen, and the recommended general was named Fang Bi, who was also a well-known figure in the local area.

Speaking of which, this Fang Bi and Liu Yi are similar, but they are the first county guards of Baiyue Counties, and there are not too many records in the book, and all the information is just one sentence.

Zhao Tuo sorted out his soldiers and horses, did not dare to delay, and quickly set off from the periphery of Shu County towards Xiangcheng, and the same is true for Lu Yan, crossing many rivers, which can be regarded as being stationed outside Xiangcheng.

Judging from the map, Lu Jing Ren has a team, Zhao Tuo has a team, and Lu Yan and Liu Yi have a team, showing a horn trend, and Xiangcheng is in the center of the three army garrisons, and many barbarians plus the Qin army have a total of 55,000 people.

In the barracks, Lu Yan set up another cloth and wrote a letter, deciding to let Zhao Tuo's troops test the water first, explore the reality in the elephant city, even if there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, they should not be taken lightly.

Zhao Tuo is in the position of Shu County, if he attacks Xiangcheng, there will be no surprise, if he is sent to be arrogant, it will not be possible for all the troops to be exposed, just in case, Zhao Tuo is definitely the best choice.

Ten miles above the north of the Elephant City, is Zhao Tuo's station, after receiving Lu Yan's news, he also felt that it was appropriate, and then led his two thousand soldiers and horses to directly attack the Elephant City in the south.

Before the war, we can analyze the situation in Xiangcheng for the time being, Xiangcheng is located in the wilderness, and does not have too many contacts with the three cities of Guilin, but is very close to Ba County and Qianzhong County, and Lu Yan's army is just staggered with the geographical location of these two counties.

In addition, the other side of Xiangcheng, that is, Lingnan, the so-called western part of Guangxi, and northern Vietnam, has never been inhabited, so if Lu Yan and Zhao Tuo attacked fiercely, the Xiangcheng army could only flee in two directions, one was Ba County, and the other was Guilin North and South City.

However, this time's strategic plan is to encircle and suppress first, if you don't surrender, then you have to set up an ambush from the way to escape.

In Xiangcheng, most of the clothes worn by the people of the city were not much different from those of the Qin army, and almost all of them were imported from the vicinity of Ba County, so it was not too barbaric.

The city lord was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a broad face, slightly dark, and clothes all dressed in coarse linen, a bit similar to the rich people of Qindi.

Zhao Tuo's army was very fast, and it took half a day to rush to the north gate of Xiangcheng, and the city lord got the news, and his performance was slightly exaggerated, the city lord originally had dealings with the Central Plains, but he didn't expect to send troops to attack him this time.

The city lord in the main hall was very unconvinced, and immediately ordered his subordinates to investigate, and heard that there were only 2,000 soldiers and horses, and he was even more angry, which really looked down on the army of Xiangcheng.

Immediately ordered, standing in the city to release arrows, and they were all poisonous arrows, Zhao Tuo came to the city gate and did not answer, the city put down many arrows, Zhao Tuo had no choice but to retreat.

In addition, the Qin army that was shot by the arrow, almost all of them died, very vicious, Zhao Tuo immediately led the rest of the troops back to the station, and secretly reported the situation of Lu Yan.

On the contrary, the city lord of Xiangcheng was very proud, seeing that the two thousand soldiers of the Qin army were driven away by themselves before they could make a move, his heart was very comfortable, and he was naturally a little proud.

To the south of Ba County, it is the garrison of the Qin army led by Lu Yan, in the camp, looking at the letter from Zhao Tuo, his brows furrowed slightly, Guilin North and South Cities do not use poisonous arrows, I didn't expect this elephant city to be not wild, but it used poisonous arrows, which is really vicious.

"Vice General Liu, what do you think?" Lu Yan immediately handed the cloth in his hand to Liu Yi next to him, hoping that he could make some plans.

Liu Yi held the cloth in his hand, looked at the map again, and his face seemed to be a little mysterious, "The minister thinks that we can attack at night, as the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, first use arrows and open fire to burn the city at night, and then attack the city." ”

"At that time, if the city lord of Xiangcheng was in danger, he would definitely take his family to escape from Xiangcheng, and there were only two ways to escape from Xiangcheng, one of which led to Ba County, and the other was to lead to the north and south cities of Guilin, so as to set up an ambush, he would definitely be able to take Xiangcheng in one fell swoop."

After listening to Liu Yi's plan, Lu Yan also nodded in agreement, but he always felt that something was missing, if it was an ambush, how could the soldiers and horses attack the city, it would be better to let Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo attack the city, Lu Jing set up an ambush in three water gorges in Guilin, and Lu Yan designed an ambush for deserters in Bajun.

Lu Yan hesitated slightly, and finally ordered the siege of the city, the specific step is to let Ren Huan attack the city from the south gate, Zhao Tuo Fangbi from the north gate to attack the city, each with 10,000 horses, and Lu Jing led part of the barbarian soldiers and the Qin army to design an ambush at the mouth of the Zhongsu Valley, a total of 5,000 people, and Liu Yi led 5,000 men and horses to design an ambush at the entrance of Ba County, a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the sergeants rested in the camp.

And Lu Yan was waiting for news with Hu Hai Gongzi in the tent, not that Lu Yan didn't want to go to the front line, but he was afraid that Hu Hai Gongzi would have no one to protect, so he arranged it like this.

You must know that this Hu Hai Gongzi alone is more important than an army of 50,000, so it is necessary to protect it well, and Lu Yan is the main general, if there is any mistake, it will definitely be a big drop in morale, so it is the most appropriate arrangement.
