When a new day arrives, Tian Kai is refreshed and happy. He had already arranged for spies to go to find out the news and determine the route to walk at night. After breakfast, Tian Kai sat in the camp, preparing to resist the attack from Liu Xuan.
It's just that on this day, Liu Xuan's army did not attack the camp.
In this case, Tian Kai couldn't ask for it.
Without Liu Xuan's attack, Tian Kai was in a good mood all day.
In the evening, the soldiers who were exploring the road returned to the camp and reported that they had found a trail that led directly to Fengtingdu, but it would be detoured, but it was absolutely hidden.
Tian Kai doesn't matter how far he goes, as long as he can reach it.
In the evening, Tian Kai gave an order for Tian Zhao and Liu Bei to lead the army to set off.
Among them, Tian Zhao led 8,000 elites to attack Fengtingdu. Liu Bei led 6,000 soldiers to ambush in Honggu Forest. Tian Kai had a total of 30,000 soldiers, and some of them were damaged by Liu Xuan's attack before, but there were still more than 10,000 soldiers left in the camp.
This part was personally commanded by Tian Kai in order to resist the attack from Liu Xuan, as well as the subsequent attack on Liu Xuan.
The army moved overnight and left quietly.
Near the wee hours of the morning, a sentry returned to Liu Xuan's camp.
After the sentry saw Xu Huang, he reported the news.
Xu Huang got the news, and immediately went to Liu Xuan's camp and reported: "Your Highness, Tian Kai has acted." ā
"Good!"
Liu Xuan was in high spirits for a while, and his expression was excited.
Tian Kai sent troops to attack Fengtingdu, which meant that Zhao Cheng's plan was successful.
Liu Xuan looked at Xu Huang and ordered: "Gongming, Tai Shici has arrived at Fengtingdu, and the war is about to start." You go back to rest, recuperate your spirits, and when the battle of Fengtingdu begins, it is time for you to lead your troops to the Red Valley Forest. ā
"Yes!"
Xu Huang responded with a fist and went back to rest.
In this battle, Liu Xuan sent Tai Shici to Fengtingdu to preside over the battle of Fengtingdu, and Xu Huang's task was to be in charge of the battle of Honggulin.
Liu Xuan sat in the military camp and was responsible for resisting Tian Kai's attack.
Zhou Cang's task was to attack Tian Kai's camp.
All four battlefields have been arranged in detail.
Everything was ready, Liu Xuan was no longer worried, and lay down to rest.
ā¦ā¦
Early the next morning.
Fengting Ferry, this ferry is not dangerous.
The river is about seven zhang wide, not a particularly wide river, the river level is gentle, and it is not turbulent. On the river, a pontoon bridge is erected to and from the east and west banks of the river.
On the west bank of the river, an army was stationed.
This army numbered 800 men, all elite soldiers, who guarded the river.
The general who led the troops was named Sun Zhen, who held the position of military Sima and was a member of the generals under Tai Shici.
At this moment, he was stationed here, waiting for the enemy's arrival. The night before yesterday, he retreated to Fengtingdu with Tai Shici, and knew that there would be news of the enemy's attack in Fengtingdu, so he waited for it.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a sentry ran back. The sentry came to Sun Zhen's side and reported: "Sima, here, the enemy is coming." It's still three miles from us. ā
"Okay, get it all ready for me."
Sun Zhen arranged it, and the soldiers under his command actively prepared.
Time passed, and suddenly, on the official road not far from Fengtingdu, drums sounded, and the black-pressed soldiers came to kill.
"Boom! Boom!! ā
The sound of the drum was like thunder, resounding through the heavens and the earth.
The sound of war drums was deliberately released by Tian Zhao.
According to Zhao Cheng's plan, Tian Zhao attacked Fengtingdu, and he couldn't trap the other party, and he had to let the other party send troops to the rescue, otherwise the strategy would be difficult to implement. Therefore, Tian Zhao took the lead and directly beat the war drums and launched an attack in a dignified manner.
Sun Zhen heard the sound of war drums and sent a team of soldiers to leave according to the plan.
The departure of this group of soldiers attracted Tian Zhao's attention.
When Tian Zhao saw it, he had a bright smile on his face.
There was a group of soldiers heading to the direction of Liu Xuan's camp, which must have been there to convey the news.
In fact, the departure of this group of soldiers also involved Liu Bei, who was hiding in Honggu Forest. Liu Bei saw a group of soldiers going to Liu Xuan's camp to ask for help, so he could be sure that the plan was successful.
Tian Zhao let go of the soldiers who had sent Sun Zhen to the news, and then launched a strong attack.
The army rushed straight to the ferry, and Sun Zhen commanded the soldiers to resist.
However, Sun Zhen only had 800 soldiers after all, while Tian Zhao had 8,000 soldiers under his command. The two sides fought for an hour, and Sun Zhen was defeated and had to retreat to the east bank of the river.
Tian Zhao's task is not only to occupy Fengtingdu, but also to defeat the defenders here.
Therefore, Tian Zhao continued to attack.
The army followed through the wind pavilion crossing, chasing all the way, and attacking continuously.
This pursuit made Sun Zhen retreat continuously. When Tian Zhao covered up Sun Zhen's killing, another spy sent by Liu Bei noticed the news. The spies immediately sent the news back to Honggulin and let Liu Bei know the news of Tian Zhao.
Liu Bei did this in order to control the situation.
It's just that this situation is under Tai Shici's control.
Tai Shici's counterattack was not in Fengtingdu, but in a flat area eight miles behind Fengtingdu.
This terrain makes it difficult to lay an ambush.
Tian Zhao, who won the first battle, was already complacent, and he didn't care about the terrain.
On the one hand, the entire plan was designed by Zhao Cheng, and the plan was seamless, and Liu Xuan did not know it in advance. On the other hand, Zhao Cheng has been chasing and killing for such a long time, and he wants to enter the hinterland of the Beihai Kingdom and take revenge.
The two reasons are superimposed, and Tian Zhao continues to deepen.
Sun Zhen retreated all the way and gradually led Zhao Cheng to the place where Tai Shici was ambushed.
In front of the official road, there is a cavalry.
The number of this cavalry was not large, only a thousand cavalry, but each cavalry was the best of the best. The leader of the generals is Tai Shici. Sun Zhen returned to Tai Shici's side and reported: "General, the task of the last general is completed, and Tian Zhao is here." ā
At this moment, Sun Zhen was in high spirits, shouting expectant looks in his eyes.
The counterattack is about to begin.
Tai Shi Ci commanded: "Return to the team!" ā
"Yes!"
Sun Zhen replied with his fists clenched, turned around and returned to the infantry formation in the rear.
Tai Shici led his troops to Fengtingdu this time, with 3,000 soldiers, 1,000 cavalry, and 2,000 infantry.
Tai Shici's intention was to forcibly charge the battle with a thousand cavalry when Tian Zhaozhi was complacent. As long as Tian Zhao saw that the army was ambushed and suddenly attacked by cavalry, Tian Zhao's army was defeated, and the battle was over.
Tai Shi Ci waited quietly, and after a short time, soldiers under Tian Zhao's command appeared on the official road.
Tian Zhao led the soldiers on the way, and the distance between him and Tai Shici became closer and closer.
Tai Shi Ci couldn't see Tian Zhao's army clearly, but at this moment, he saw a vague shadow, and directly ordered: "Beat the drum!" ā
The drums of war beat and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.
"Kill!"
The spear in Tai Shici's hand pointed far ahead, and he shook the reins of the horse in his hand.
"Herod!"
The horse neighed, shook off its hooves and rushed out. In an instant, Tai Shi Ci was like an arrow from the string, and the thousand cavalry behind him followed closely behind, charging rapidly.
