In the direction of Xiangguo City, the main army under Murong Ke has prepared a large number of siege equipment in a short period of time, which is enough to cause great damage to the defense of Xiangguo City.

With so many siege equipment, Murong Ke believed that it would not be difficult to capture Xiangguo City, and immediately began to deploy.

"Fourth brother, all the soldiers and horses are fully ready, ready to attack Xiangguo City at any time." Murong Ba looked at Murong Ke and said loudly.

Murong Ke nodded and said: "Fifth brother, you personally lead an army of 100,000 and launch an attack on Xiangguo City, the fourth brother will lead the elite soldiers and horses to protect your flanks, once the elite of the Xie Ai Legion attacks your troops and horses, I will lead the elite army and annihilate the elite of the Xie Ai Legion in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes, Fourth Brother." Murong Ba received the order loudly, and immediately turned around and went to prepare.

Soon, Murong Ba led an army of 100,000 Yan and launched a fierce attack on Xiangguo City.

However, the city of Xiangguo City is very tall, and the defense facilities are relatively perfect, and the soldiers in the city are also very well prepared, for this reason, although the Yan army launched a very fierce attack, but Xiangguo City has no signs of being breached, and the siege army of Yan has lost a lot of soldiers and horses, which makes Murong Ba very annoyed, and continues to launch a more fierce attack.

The defending army of Xiangguo City fought fiercely to the death with the attacking soldiers and horses of Yan State, and repelled seven or eight attacks by the army under Murong Ba in a row, which greatly annoyed Murong Ba.

After dusk, Murong Ba led the army under his command to rest for a while. Prepare to launch another large-scale attack at night, and plan to use the night battle to break through Xiangguo Castle.

The large-scale battle between the defenders of Xiangguo City and the army of Yan under Murong Ba naturally attracted the attention of Xie Ai and his subordinate generals, since the battle began. Xie Ai and the soldiers under his command closely watched every move on the battlefield and were ready to attack at any time.

"General, the army of Yan has begun to attack Xiangguo City, and our army will also wait for the opportunity to fight!" One of the generals said loudly.

"Yes! General, Yan Guo gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses under Xiangguo City, while our army soldiers and horses defending Xiangguo City only had 50,000 new soldiers. There is a huge disparity in strength, and if our army does not fight, it will definitely be difficult to hold Xiangguo City. Another general said loudly.

Xie Ai nodded, and said with a straight face: "What the generals said is that if the main force of our army does not fight, it will be difficult to stop Murong Ke's 200,000 army with only the defensive soldiers and horses of Xiangguo City. However, it should be clear to the generals. The main army under Murong Ke's command is above our army's combat power, if our army attacks rashly, it may not necessarily be able to defeat the elite army under Murong Ke's command, and if it falls into an ambush, the consequences will be even more severe. ”

Apparently. Xie Ai knew very well in his heart that the combat power of the 120,000 main army under his command was not comparable to the elite army under Murong Ke, and the gap in combat power was still relatively large. For this reason, Xie Ai felt that he must be cautious in battle, so as not to cause his army to suffer great losses.

"General, the army of Yan attacked Xiangguo City seven or eight times in a row, all of which were repelled by our army's soldiers and horses defending the city, and now, it must be that people are sleepy and lacking horses, it is better for our army to attack at night and take the Yan army by surprise." A subordinate general shouted loudly.

"Yes! Our army can sneak attack the Yan army camp at night, so that the Yan army will definitely be caught off guard. Another general said loudly.

Xie Ai naturally understands that a sneak attack is a good combat strategy, but at this critical juncture when the two sides are fighting, how can the Yan army not be vigilant, and the sneak attack may not be able to have the desired effect.

"Generals, now, our army and the main army of Yan State are engaged in a bloody battle, the defense of the Yan State camp must be very tight, our army wants to launch a surprise attack suddenly, I am afraid that it is not so easy! If the army of Yan State had been prepared, wouldn't our army be in danger. Xie Ai said worriedly.

"General, the combat power of the Yan army is above our army, if it is a righteous and bright attack, our army's chances of victory will be even smaller, it is better to gamble, if the Yan army is not fully prepared, won't our army take a big advantage?" A subordinate general hurriedly built a road.

When Xie Ai heard this, he felt that he could give it a try, after all, the strength of the main army of Yan State was much stronger than his own, and if it was a bright attack, the chance of victory would be smaller, besides, he did not expect to defeat the main army under Murong Ke in the place of Xiangguo City, even if the main army of Yan State was well prepared, he could also lead the army under his command to retreat in the direction of Yecheng according to the predetermined plan, and lure the main army of Yan State to pursue Yecheng, and finally defeat the main army of Yan State near Yecheng.

"Since the generals are bent on fighting, the general will order you to lead the army to attack the Yan army camp at night, but you must remember that once the war does not go well, you must obey the general's order and retreat in the direction of Yecheng, and you must not fall in love with the battle, understand?" Xie Ai looked at his subordinate generals and said loudly.

"Yes, General." The generals said loudly.

Subsequently, the main army of 120,000 under Xie Ai's command began to make various preparations before the expedition, and Xie Ai also sent a large number of scouts to the direction of the Yan State camp to investigate the various situations in the Yan State camp to determine the defense of the Yan State camp.

In the middle of the night, the 100,000 Yan Kingdom army under Murong Ba was already ready to attack Xiangguo City at night, and as long as Murong Ba gave an order, he could immediately launch an attack.

"General, the soldiers are completely ready to attack." The general looked at Murong Ba and said loudly.

Murong Ba nodded with satisfaction, and Zhengse ordered: "The whole army will set off immediately and prepare to attack Xiangguo City at night." ”

"Yes, General." The generals shouted the order, and led the soldiers and horses under their respective commands to kill in the direction of Xiangguo City.

At this moment, Murong Ke and the 100,000 elite army under his command are still in the camp, but in order to prevent accidents, Murong Ke let the 20,000 iron rope cavalry be responsible for guarding to fully ensure the safety of the camp, and at the same time, send scouts to the location of Xie Ai's camp to carry out a strict reconnaissance of Xie Ai's camp, and once they find that Xie Ai's army has left the camp, they will report immediately, so that the soldiers in the camp can prepare for the battle in advance.

Xie Ai naturally understood that there must be many scouts of the Yan State around the camp, so when he led the army under his command to attack the Yan State camp, he took a quick action method to reduce the time of the Yan State army's early warning as much as possible, so as to kill the Yan State camp by surprise and attack the Yan State army that was not ready.

Xie Ai and the main army under his command had just left the camp, and they were discovered by the scouts of the Yan State, however, the scouts of the Yan State did not plan to return to the camp on horseback to report the news, because the speed was too slow, and they adopted the method of lighting the Kong Ming lantern, so that the soldiers in the camp could prepare for the battle in the shortest possible time.

In the night of the black light, the Kong Ming lantern is undoubtedly very conspicuous, the scouts of the Yan army just lit the Kong Ming lantern, the soldiers of the Yan State camp discovered this situation, and immediately reported the situation to the main general Murong Ke, Murong Ke saw the scout's warning, and hurriedly ordered the elite army in the camp to immediately prepare for a big battle.

Of course, it was not only the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom who saw the Kong Ming lantern, but Xie Ai and the soldiers under his command also discovered the Kong Ming lantern in the sky, and felt that it must be a scout of the Yan Kingdom, used to ventilate the news.

"General, Kong Ming lantern, it must have been released by the Yan army scouts, the purpose is to tell the Yan army in the camp that our army has been dispatched, so that when our army is killed in the Yan camp, the Yan army soldiers in the camp are ready, which is extremely unfavorable to our army." A subordinate general analyzed softly.

"Yes! General, it seems that our army's plan to raid the Yan State camp will not work. Another general said.

Xie Ai nodded, and said with a straight face: "If the elite army under Murong Ke is ready to face the battle, and our army rashly attacks, it can only be a fiasco, so it is better to immediately retreat to the camp and make another plan." ”

When the generals heard this, their opinions were different, some supported the continuation of the attack, and some returned to the camp to find another opportunity.

"Boom, boom......, boom" At this moment, a violent explosion sounded in the direction of the north gate of Xiangguo City.

Xie Ai and his subordinate generals, looking up, in the direction of the north gate of Xiangguo City, there was a violent light, at a glance, they knew that it was a thunderbolt incendiary bomb, obviously, in the direction of the north gate of Xiangguo City, there was a siege operation.

"Report, general, the 100,000 troops of the Yan State are attacking Xiangguo City." At this moment, a scout rushed over and reported the actions of the Yan army to Xie Ai.

"General, Murong Ke divided 100,000 troops to attack Xiangguo City, this is our army's opportunity, our army can immediately change the direction of attack and launch an attack on the 100,000 Yan army besieging the city, as long as it can severely damage the 100,000 besieging army of Yan State, the morale of the Yan army will be greatly hit." A subordinate general shouted loudly.

"Yes! General, the 100,000 army of Yan attacked Xiangguo City at night, the defenders in the city are all new soldiers, and they may not be able to hold the city in the night battle, if our army does not attack immediately, the 100,000 army of Yan State is likely to capture Xiangguo City, and once Xiangguo City is captured by the Yan army, the main force of our army will not be able to form a defensive corner with the defenders of Xiangguo City, and the consequences will be unimaginable. One of the generals looked at Xie Ai and said loudly.

When Xie Ai heard this, he felt that this was also the case, so he ordered loudly: "Order the whole army to march in the direction of the north gate of Xiangguo City immediately."
