On the trestle, Cao Zhen watched the warships sail out of the port, and about 10,000 sailors went east along the Huai River. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, this army is not the elite Wu State Naval Army, but composed of all Wu and Wei soldiers, but has received preliminary water warfare training in the waters around Xuzhou, and if it encounters a regular naval army, it will definitely be defeated.

Cao Zhen also had no choice, he also wanted to use the elite Wu State Navy to complete this surprise attack, but Lu Meng did not allocate a single soldier to him on the grounds of limited troops.

Of course, Cao Zhen knew very well that this was because Sun Quan was still wary of him, a Wei general, so in Sun Quan's edict, most of the soldiers and horses guarding Xiapi and other important towns were Wu troops, and it was he and his soldiers who were ordered to fight against the Han army in the field.

Under such conditions of distrust, Cao Zhen had no choice but to let his elite foot soldiers play the role of a bad sailor.

On the day of the departure of Xu Gai's navy, Cao Zhen rushed back to Xiapi and ordered more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 3,000 cavalry on the front line of Xiapi to secretly maneuver in the direction of the city, while the rest of the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Sun Yi who stayed in Xiapi City, Cao Zhen could not mobilize a single soldier.

That is to say, including the defenders of Yanguo City, or Xu Gai's 10,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 horses and horses who are now newly transferred, Cao Zhen can call more than 30,000 soldiers and horses on the front line of Xuzhou, and these soldiers and horses are almost all old soldiers who surrendered to Wu with him.

In the direction of Yanguo City, Huang Zhong has gathered more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there are still more soldiers and horses coming in a steady stream.

Nearly half of the more than 100 Shenwei cannons had been assembled, and Huang Zhong couldn't help but order to launch an attack first, concentrating more than 50 Shenwei cannons and bombarding the north gate of the city.

The solidity of the city is far inferior to the strong city of Yecheng in the world, under the repeated bombardment of the Shenwei cannon, the north gate city wall can not hold for long, it is scarred, and even the north gate city tower was also blown down in half, and the people who were stoned to death on the spot amounted to three or four hundred.

In this case, the guard general Biqiu Jian requisitioned the elite men in the city, carried the soil and stones, and raced against time to repair the damaged city wall.

In the face of the tragic situation in the city, Huang Zhong was not in a hurry to attack the city with an infantry army, he was ready to use the Shenwei cannon to weaken the city defense as much as possible and hit the morale of the Wu people in the city.

However, the follow-up Shenwei cannon has not yet arrived, but it has waited for Cao Zhen's reinforcements.

According to the detailed report, about 13,000 Wu troops are marching from Xiapi to the city of Yanguo, and it is expected to arrive at the city in the evening of two days.

"Cao Zhen actually came in person, it seems that he is planning to play with the old man, hmph, it is just the right time, this time it is just the right time to annihilate the remnants of the Wei Kingdom." In the big tent, Huang Zhong, who received the information, did not feel pressure, on the contrary, he felt that he was one step closer to the miraculous feat of immortality.

"There are 10,000 enemies in the city of Yanguo, plus Cao Zhen's reinforcements, the number of enemy troops is about the same as our army, and the enemy is fighting behind the city, old general, this battle is not to be taken lightly." Guan Xing analyzed from the side.

Huang Zhong nodded: "What An Guo said is reasonable, since this is the case, then we should first concentrate our forces to defeat Cao Zhen's troops, and then try to conquer the country." ”

Guan Xing suddenly thought of something: "Old general, Cao Zhen is here to join forces with the enemy army in the city, and to attack our army inside and outside, and we just take advantage of this to counter the enemy's army." ”

Huang Zhong's face was excited: "How do you say this?" ”

"According to speculation, the arrival time of Cao Zhen's army will be two days later, which is a good opportunity to surprise our army. I think Cao Zhen will contact the city in advance, and agree to raise fire as a signal and march troops inside and outside at the same time, so that we can make a fuss about this. ”

After listening to Guan Xing's words, Huang Zhong vaguely understood, and said: "Anguo, could it be that you want to use a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, and each plan to break it?" ”

Guan Xing smiled secretly, and then revealed all his plans.

Huang Zhong was very excited when he heard this, nodded and praised: "An Guo is worthy of being the son of a beautiful bearded man, this plan is very good, if it is used well, maybe you can take the opportunity to break the city." ”

Guan Xing also looked confident: "Since the old general is approved, then we will act quickly and prepare to set it up in two days." ”

………… Two days later, the night was late and the third watch had passed.

Biqiu Jian on the head of the city has been waiting for more than two hours, standing under the female wall, looking at the Han army camp a few miles away, it is pitch black, only sparks. Looking back at the city, his soldiers squatted on both sides of the streets in the city in rows, silently forming a series of black silhouettes, and in the black shadows, there was a little bit of fine light, which was the flame of anger, and the eyes of revenge.

It's time to kill the enemy for the revenge of the overthrow and the pain of bereavement!

"Ignition!"

At the sound of the order, several piles of raging fires immediately ignited above the city, and the flames that soared into the sky illuminated the line of the southern city.

Biqiu Jian immediately ordered to open the south gate, put down the drawbridge, leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and led 5,000 elite soldiers to rush towards the southern camp of the Han army.

During the day, Cao Zhen's secret envoy infiltrated the city of Yanguo, and agreed to raise fire as a signal to send troops inside and outside the city to attack the southern camp of the Han army.

The Han camp is still seven or eight miles away from the south gate, and Biqiu Jian can't completely judge the current situation of the enemy camp, but when he goes out of the city and kills halfway, he finds that the Han camp is full of fires and kills, and when he makes a big noise, he realizes that their strategy has succeeded.

The more intense the noise became, the more confident he became, so he galloped and led his five thousand men and horses to speed up the march.

After a few minutes, the light of the fire in front of him gradually became clear, and of course, when the situation in front of him was imprinted, Biqiu Jian's heart was suddenly shocked.

At a glance, it seemed to be a wall of light ahead, but after a closer look, I realized that it was a densely distributed cavalry!

They stood quietly, torches in hand, quietly watching the enemy hurrying in front of them, and a hideous smile appeared on their faces.

'Could it be that you've been tricked?' ’

Shocked, Biqiu Jian hurriedly reined in the horse's hooves, ordered the army to stop advancing, and shouted: "Quick, quickly form a formation, and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

Biqiu Jian was not guarded by the enemy, and he forgot the experience of combat, and he did not choose to retreat immediately, but hurriedly lined up on the spot. Because Biqiu Jian knew that he was facing thousands of Han cavalry, and in front of such an enemy, he would not be able to go far if he turned around and fled, and he would become a lamb slaughtered at will by the enemy cavalry who followed him.

However, Guan Xing, who personally designed this plan, would not give Biqiu Jian a chance, and seeing that the enemy was preparing to form a formation to meet the enemy, Guan Xing immediately ordered an attack.

As the distant horn sounded, Biqiu Jian was surprised to find that the Han cavalry in front did not attack first, and the hazy shouting of killing came from his east and west wings.

'What a dangerous guy, he even laid an ambush! ’

That's right, Guan Xing not only personally led 4,000 cavalry to wait for his arrival, but also ambushed more than 5,000 ambush soldiers in the nearby forest.

When the ambush soldiers on both flanks appeared, Biqiu Jian's psychological defense line completely collapsed, and he knew very well that with his current strength and formation, he would not be able to resist the enemy coming from three sides.

"Withdraw, withdraw to the city of Yanguo!" Biqiu Jian shouted, and then exerted the unique ability of the famous generals, immediately turned around and rushed towards the city of Yan Guo before his own soldiers.

The enemy position is in disarray, and it is the right time.

Seeing that the enemy was already retreating, Guan Xing swung his sword upward, leading his thousands of elite horsemen to burst out, and rushed towards the already disintegrating enemy army in a wedge-shaped impact formation.

In such a plain with few obstacles, the speed and impact of the cavalry were simply invincible, and before Biqiu Jian and his army could escape far, they were scattered by the Han cavalry that followed. Immediately afterwards, the Han infantry from both flanks swarmed up, divided and surrounded the divided enemy army, and ate it one by one.

Biqiu Jian was under siege, with Han infantry besieging on the inside, and enemy cavalry cruising on the periphery, cutting down any Wu army that broke through the siege.

Seeing the soldiers around him fall one by one, and the five thousand soldiers are fighting fewer and fewer, Biqiu Jian realized that the first time he appeared on the stage, he might be able to get a bento.

In the distance, Huang Zhong, who was in the Han camp, clearly witnessed the ambush and encirclement battle directed and acted by Guan Xing, and couldn't help but have an approving smile on his face.

"Sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and my Han Kingdom is terrifying. Well, it seems that this road in the city is solved, Cao Zhen, just waiting for you to take the bait on the way outside the city. ”

At this moment, there was silence in the Han camp, and in this silence, in the dark corner, there were a pair of eyes full of murderous intent.

During this period, Huang Zhong ambushed more than 300 Zhuge crossbows, more than 3,000 large and small bows and crossbows, and the gifts he carefully prepared, only after Cao Zhen led the army to break into the Han camp, he fired ten thousand arrows in unison, shooting the enemy who thought he was successful into a hornet's nest.

This is the bureau carefully set up by Guan Xing, a layout to solve the internal and external enemies in one fell swoop.

Obviously, the fish in the city had already been baited, but when Huang Zhong waited for a long time, he didn't see Cao Zhen, the big fish, come to the bait.

"Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen, why don't you come to die." Huang Zhong muttered to himself, already a little impatient.

Looking at the north from a distance, Guan Xing had almost killed the enemy all the way, and there was no movement in the south.

Suddenly, Huang Zhong had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Just as he was pondering what the problem was, he suddenly rode up and brought Huang Zhong a piece of news that shocked him.

"Old general, the big thing is not good, thousands of Wu cavalry suddenly appeared in Dazhai in the northwest, and they are storming Dazhai, my army is afraid that it will be difficult to support it for too long, please send reinforcements to the old general quickly."

"What?" Huang Zhong was shocked.
