Two days ago, an army of more than 20,000 people quietly came behind the Wei army, and its soldiers and horses were very careful almost day and night, and did not leave the slightest trace in the march. This army was led by Dai Gang himself to join the siege, and after learning that Cao Xiu was advancing regardless of logistics, Dai Gang was overjoyed. If Cao Xiu fights steadily, there is nothing the Wu army can do with him, after all, the Wei army is 50,000 and the Wu army is only a little more than 50,000 troops in the front and back, and the strength is almost the same.

But if the situation is very different after Cao Xiu's venture, the Wei army is now stationed close to Shouchun, not to mention anything else, there is only one connection to the north of Longkang, and behind Cao Xiu's camp is a big road connecting a small city, and there will be a branch after this small city. In other words, if you take this small city, the Wei army will be trapped between Long Kang and this small city.

The Wei army camp is 100 miles away, the Wu army camp is close to the small city and the village, this small city Cao Xiu is of course sent people to garrison, but the soldiers and horses are only more than 1,000, and even the letter horse has not had time to send it to the Wu army to wrap dumplings after a battle, and take this key place.

In the camp outside the city, Dai Gang listened quietly to the scout's report. I only heard the scout say: "Back to the capital, the king divided his troops into three routes, occupied all the key points, and now he is confronting Cao Xiu with the main force in front of him for a hundred miles????"

Hearing the scout's report, Dai Gang looked around at the generals in the tent with a smile on his face and smiled: "This Cao Xiu still has two brushes!" At least know how to set up camp at the exit! Ha ha!! ”

The generals in the hall laughed when they heard this, as if this battle had been captured, only Lu You said with a cautious face: "Governor, these five thousand soldiers and horses are a little difficult to handle." If we do not take the rear camp of the Wei army, it will be difficult to surround Cao Xiu's army in the valley, and if we let it stand out above the field, our army may not be able to annihilate the Wei army. ”

"Why should the deputy army grow up and destroy his own prestige." Ma Zhong on the side didn't dare. What is above the wilderness, it is not the opponent of the Wei army. "Even if it is a decisive battle between soldiers and generals, how can my Wu army be afraid of others."

"Eh, General Ma, you know I didn't mean that!" Hearing this, Lu You couldn't help but explain with a wry smile, this military general also has two good types, one is the martial arts type and the other is the resourceful type, and Ma Zhong and Lu You just happen to be these two, so Ma Zhong always seems to fight according to his own ideas, and there is this scene.

"That's it!!" Dai Gang waved his hand, and said to Lu You with a smile on his face: "How can everything be perfect, even if there is no way to trap Cao Xiu's troops in the valley, our army can also collect all the important places and release the pocket array." However, this post-military camp must be fought for. It's just that Cao Xiu used 5,000 iron cavalry to escort the flanks back and forth, and it was difficult for our army to raid the camp at night!! ”

"Report!!" As he spoke, a scout came in again and half-knelt in front of Dai Gang.

"Speak!!"

"Wow!!" The scout clasped his hands into fists, then stood up and bowed down and said, "Half of the Wei cavalry moved into the valley. There are only 2,000 patrols left!! ”

"Hmmm! The Governor knows and retreats!! Dai Gang waved his hand to signal that the scout could go down, knowing that he was out of the camp. Dai Gangcai said with a happy face: "God help me!! God help me too!! ”

And Ma Zhong and Lu You's generals are also happy. Originally, the Wei army had 5,000 cavalry patrolling back and forth, and it was impossible for the Wu army to quietly bypass them and attack the Wei army camp, but if you want to destroy these 5,000 cavalry, does the Wu army have the ability. After all, only cavalry can be eliminated in the field, even if the first cavalry of Eastern Wu under Dai Gang has 3,000 people and horses, plus more than 1,000 other types of cavalry, it is impossible to destroy this cavalry.

Because even the cavalry, known as the first cavalry of Eastern Wu, is actually the same as the first-class cavalry of the Wei army, and it is far from being comparable to the tiger and leopard cavalry of the first cavalry of Cao Wei. Although these 5,000 cavalry are not tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Xiu, who is the last tiger and leopard cavalry governor, will not have some tiger and leopard cavalry. That is pure self-deception.

Five thousand cavalry huddled together, the Wu army could not be destroyed, but two thousand cavalry still had a chance. Now Cao Xiu has sent 3,000 cavalry into the interior, and the remaining 2,000 cavalry are not as powerful as the Ghost Face Rider plus the habit of accompanying the cavalry of the Shangwu Army. It may not be impossible to get rid of this obnoxious cavalry.

"Ma Zhong obeys." Dai Gang immediately calmed down and said loudly.

"In !!"

"Ling'er leads the Ghost-faced Riders to attack, and it is necessary to annihilate the Wei cavalry before sunset."

"!!"

"Lu You obeys orders!"

"In!!"

"Ling Er led the Xiaoguo army to attack the enemy's camp at night, and this battle only seeks to burn all its camps!!"

"Wow!!"

"In addition, General Han, you select a few scouts with the best riding skills in the army, pass the news to General Sun Shao bypassing the Wei army, and ask him to lead the army to Cao Xiu's camp tomorrow and burn his old nest."

Hearing this, Han Dang couldn't help but look suspicious, and hurriedly asked, "Governor, what does this mean?" General Sun only has 10,000 horses under his command, and maybe less than 10,000 horses after a long war, how can he break through Cao Xiu's heavily defended camp. ”

"Haha!!" Dai Gang laughed loudly and explained to Han Dang: "Old general, if you were Cao Xiu, what would you do when you learned that the back road was cut off?" ”

"Me!!" Han Dang's long beard fell into deep thought, and it took a while before he opened his eyes and said one by one: "It must be that I personally lead the army to recapture the rear camp.!" ”

Dai Gang smiled and looked at Han Dang, who was firm and serious, and was silent for a long time, looking at Han Dang's confusion. Not long after, Lu You was the first to smile, looking at Lu You's changes, Han Dang slapped his head and laughed: "I see, the road will be cut off after the rear camp is attacked, and Cao Xiu will definitely lead the main force to recapture it himself." At that time, his camp will be empty, and at this time, General Sun's soldiers and horses will be enough to take down the Wei army camp and burn him in a fire. When the time comes, see how he Cao Xiu handles himself, that is, he loses the back camp and loses the Dazhai, hahaha!! ”

As for why Dai Gang didn't occupy the rear camp and surround the Wei army in the valley, no one cared, even if Ma Zhong was shouting loudly, but he also knew in his heart that there was still a certain gap between the Wu army's combat power in the field and the Wei army, especially the main force of the Wei Central Army. Not to mention anything else, Dai Gang's army occupies Cao Xiu's rear camp, whether he can stop the 40,000 Wei troops who fought on their backs is a problem, if not, there is a risk of being eaten by the Wei army, why not retreat and defend this small city, so that the Wei army without food starve to death is economical.

In view of this, Dai Gang proposed to advise Ma Zhong again: "Remember to be careful, this attack on the camp is focused on burning the village to attract the attention of the main force of the Wei army, and the momentum must be huge." The Governor will lead the troops to meet you, and as long as the success is successful, the troops will be withdrawn without the slightest delay. The governor prepared a big gift for Cao Xiu. ”

Seeing that Dai Gang was so cautious, Ma Zhong couldn't help but stand upright, and replied solemnly: "Oh! The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the governor!! ”

??????????????????????????????

That night, dark clouds covered the moon, and the hour was at the beginning of the hour. Ma Zhong led his five thousand Xiaoguo soldiers and horses out of the city quietly, and at this moment they had arrived near the rear camp of the Wei army. Under the flickering firelight, Wei Ying could not see many people and shadows, only occasionally saw a team of patrolling soldiers walking by, and at the gate of the camp, several soldiers on duty at the gate of the village were dozing off with weapons.

At this time, the night was thick, and the five thousand Xiaoguo troops were all wearing masks of robbery camps, wearing bright light armor and black battle robes, and the Miao knife was unsheathed and ready to attack, Ma Zhong led the horses to hide in the woods, and kept looking at this camp.

Perhaps because of the role of the rear battalion defense, even in Cao Xiu's view, this camp is just the product of his own cautious leadership for many years, and the symbolic meaning is more than the actual value, so the defense of this battalion is the lowest combat power of 5,000 soldiers, and because the battalion has nothing to do after many days of hard fighting, this defense is also declining day by day.

After a few rounds, what caught Ma Zhong's eyes was not a camp at all, but a beautiful woman who stripped naked and let her do whatever she wanted. Ma Zhong waved his hand, and the crossbowman quietly sneaked over and killed the dozing Wei soldiers.

At this time, Ma Zhong stepped on the war horse and took out the treasure carving bow and shouted at the long-awaited first strong army of Great Wu behind him: "The time has come to make meritorious contributions!" Charge with me! Invincible!!! (To be continued......)
