The army of the Liang Dynasty began to rest in place after crossing the border of Yiguo, because it was rainy weather, so the transportation of grain and grass was very difficult, so the prince of the Liang Dynasty had to stop and sort out the army, starting from the border of Yiguo, it only took five days to reach Daxian, so the prince was not in a hurry, for the sake of safety, march slowly!

There are three generals who led the army this time, all of them were famous generals of the Liang Dynasty, and they formulated several strategies for the eldest prince, and one of the most important strategies for the eldest prince was to besiege the city and send reinforcements, because as far as they knew, Li Yao's cavalry troops were only 5,000, and they had 50,000 cavalry, and there were 20,000 heavy cavalry, they believed that with a fast mobile force, it was simple to fight reinforcements, because the reinforcements must be lightly armoured, and speed was an indispensable condition in a rapid march, so they would definitely not bring heavy weapons. Without the advantage of firearms and heavy weapons, ordinary bows and crossbows cannot shoot through the armor of heavy cavalry, as long as the heavy cavalry is dispatched, it is definitely a crushing attack!

For Li Yao's 5,000 cavalry, they didn't care at all, because the reason why that cavalry unit was able to move smoothly was because there were basically no cavalry troops in Yiguo, and this time the Liang Dynasty army had 20,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 light cavalry, and against the light cavalry of only more than 5,000 people, it was not easy to capture!

It's just that they underestimate Li Yao's cavalry troops, they will definitely suffer, Yiguo is mountainous, the roads are rugged, at least the heavy cavalry is useless in these places, the horses can't run, not to mention, and because the horse's load is too large, the horse's hooves are too damaged, in case the horse's hooves are stuck in the cracks in the stones, the cavalry on the horse will be crushed to death by the huge inertia and weight!

At this time, the army of the Liang Dynasty was encamped in the wilderness, and the defense was extremely tight, so Su Feiguang and Cheng Changping Gao Xiangming did not make a move, but waited for the opportunity!

They are not worried that there is no chance to attack the Liang Dynasty army this time, because there are 550,000 people on this trip, and such a large base allows them to only take the official road, although there are many roads in Yiguo, but in addition to the official road, they are basically small roads, and the army cannot pass at all!

The three generals of the Liang Dynasty army were also generals of a hundred battles, and they first released a large number of scouts to investigate, especially in some dangerous places, and even scattered countless scouts!

For the aspect of counter-reconnaissance, Cheng Changping's regular army knew relatively little, so Cheng Changping's army was quickly exposed to the eyes of the Liang Dynasty's army, but even if the Liang Dynasty's army knew the traces of Cheng Changping's department, it was useless, because the road in the mountains was too difficult to walk, coupled with the wet and slippery weather in the rain, and the terrain was not familiar, even if the Liang Dynasty army knew that there was such a force nearby, it was not easy to move.

In the big tent of the Liang army, the eldest prince learned that there was an enemy army swimming nearby, but the three generals under him did not have the slightest intention of making a move, so he asked: "What is the situation with you?" Why didn't you do anything when you knew there were enemy forces nearby? Can't my 250,000-strong army even trample an army like ants? ”

One of the generals sitting on the left said: "Your Royal Highness, it's not that we don't want to attack the enemy army, but we haven't figured out the deployment and plan of this enemy army yet, if we act rashly, I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve the most perfect effect!"

When the eldest prince heard the general's words, he said, "Old General Huang, when will you be able to investigate what the purpose of this army is?"

General Huang was about to speak, when the general at the head of the eldest prince's right said: "Actually, there is no need to go so far to investigate this army, as long as they are defeated, a few prisoners are captured and tortured, naturally someone will be willing to say the purpose of their trip!"

After the general finished speaking, the eldest prince's eyes lit up and said: "Just do what General Zhao said, send troops tomorrow, no, send troops now to destroy this enemy army!"

The general who was sitting under General Huang immediately stood up and said, "Great Prince, this enemy army is invincible!"

The eldest prince looked at General Wang, and said a little angrily: "I don't know what General Wang's opinion is?" Why can't I kill even a small army of more than 200,000 elites? ”

General Wang said: "This army is obviously here to harass us, I sent scouts to investigate, although I don't know the specific number, but according to the traces of activities, it is estimated that there are about more than 20,000 people!"

When the eldest prince heard this, he exclaimed, "What's the matter? The 20,000 army touched our noses, and I actually learned the news, what are the scouts for? ”

General Wang said: "Don't worry, the eldest prince, according to my investigation, this army did not touch our place, but we broke into their territory, and they seem to have been in ambush for a long time!"

After listening to General Wang's words, the eldest prince thought for a while and said: "Since they have been ambushing us for a long time, then we have to deal with them even more, we can't let them hold us back, which of the three of you will fight this first battle?"

At this time, General Wang said: "Great Prince, there is no need to be like this, the weather is humid now, the mountains are particularly slippery, and the enemy is in the dark, our side is in the light, if we attack, the losses will definitely be incalculable, why don't we set a trap, don't they want to ambush us?" Then let's let them ambush them once! ”

The eldest prince listened to General Wang's words and said, "Since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to you, and you must destroy this army as soon as possible!"

General Wang commanded: "Great prince, just wait to hear the good news!"

On the second day, the Liang Dynasty army pulled out, but the grain and grass did not keep up, because of the rainy weather, the grain and grass have always been relatively slow, it is estimated that the Liang Dynasty army wanted to hurry up, so only 20,000 troops were left to guard the grain and grass!

This news quickly reached the ears of Cheng Changping Gao Xiangming, and the two quickly converged together, Cheng Changping said: "Master Gao, this is an excellent opportunity, if we succeed in the sneak attack on grain and grass, this credit will fall on us!"

Gao Xiangming also nodded and said: "What Master Cheng said is reasonable, but I always feel wrong, why is the grain and grass of the army only protected by 20,000 troops?" The army of the Liang Dynasty didn't even have food and grass, why did they run so fast? ”

Cheng Changping asked, "Does Senior Senior Gao think there is fraud in it?"

Gao Xiangming nodded and said: "I think there is fraud, but we can't miss this opportunity, I think we should still do it, it's good if there is no fraud, if there is fraud, we have to withdraw quickly, and strive not to cause too many casualties!"

Cheng Changping also nodded and said: "In this way, I will first let the scouts go to investigate, first determine if there is an ambush nearby, if there is, we will not move, if not, let's do it ruthlessly, what do you think?"

Gao Xiangming said 'um' and said, "Just do what Master Cheng said!" (To be continued.) )
