Send troops to Zou Cheng, this is Rong Cheng's choice. Although the direction of Zou Cheng is too calm, and the calm is a little unsettling, the noise in the south of Gaowan is even more dangerous!

The army led by Tian Dan has gone to the east of Gaowan to show that he is temporarily out of the matter, but the carts and horses transporting grain and grass are still constantly in and out of the south of Gaowan, which makes people puzzled. Everyone knows that the Yan army is short of grain and grass, and the Qi army is acting like this, isn't it trying to cover it up? !

Of course, choosing to take the risk of sending troops to Zou Cheng does not mean that you are taking a casual gamble. Throwing in all the troops at once and pressing your own chips step by step to test the enemy's strategy is the difference between a rookie general and a famous general on the battlefield.

The first thing Rong Yi did was to send out all the 10,000 cavalry in his hand, just to use the speed and mobility of the cavalry to eliminate potential risks. If the Qi army set up an ambush, in the face of 10,000 Yan Iron Cavalry who came and went like the wind, the Qi army would not be able to please him. If the Qi army did not set up an ambush, it would be just right to surprise the snake and test the next strategy of the Qi army.

In the end, it was found that the latter was the case, in the face of the sudden Yan State Iron Cavalry, the defenders of Zou City seemed panicked, although the number of defenders standing on the head of the city seemed to be a lot, but many of them were trembling, obviously not veterans of the battlefield. And there was no trace of the Qi army within twenty miles of the vicinity, and every indication indicated that the Qi State seemed to be planning to let Zou Cheng go to the Yan State. Whether Yan Guo can take Zou Cheng or not depends on his own ability!

Under such circumstances, Rong Yancai personally led 45,000 Yan soldiers and abandoned Yu Ling. Send troops to Zou Cheng. There were no dangers along the way, and the short journey of forty miles did not cost the Yan army much body, but the high concentration and constant vigilance against possible sneak attacks made many Yan soldiers very tired.

Zou Cheng is very small. There are less than 2,000 households in the city, and if such a small town is not cheapened by the proximity to the capital Linzi, there will not be many garrisons! Even in wartime, even if the Yan Kingdom invaded on a large scale, Zou Cheng was only 3,000 soldiers! That's understandable, too! Zou Cheng is only more than 100 miles away from Linzi, if the enemy hits Zoucheng, then Linzi is also dangerous! In this case, it is better to concentrate all the troops in a small town like Linzi and Zoucheng. Don't!

Rong Yi originally thought that the army was pressing the border, and there were no reinforcements from outside, and the small Zou City might not last two hours before it would be occupied by himself. But the truth was beyond Rong Yan's expectations, every time, the Yan army could easily climb to the top of the city, fight hand-to-hand with the Qi army, and fight for his life. But each time, the final result was that the Yan army was driven down the city by the Qi army. There are a few times. He wanted to give full play to the advantage of his troops and attack the city, but suddenly a lot of arrows and stones flew in the city, and he lost more than a thousand men and horses in a moment. Since then, Rong Yi can only honestly use his life to consume the vitality of the Qi army.

Unfortunately, the Yan army killed more than 6,000 people in the battle. But the number of Qi troops on the head of the city seems to have never been small. Of course, the Qi army does not have the ability to resurrect on the spot, and Rong Yi has also made people count, and the Qi army should have suffered more than 2,000 casualties. For a man with only 3,000 garrisons, this is basically a nerve-wracking operation. But the Qi army is still guarding the city on all sides with ease, which undoubtedly shows a problem. That is, there are more than 3,000 defenders in Zou Cheng City! Of course, there are definitely not many of them! Otherwise, the Qi army could have suddenly opened the city gate and dealt a heavy blow to the unprepared Yan army.

Two and a half hours have passed, Zou Cheng has still not been conquered, and seeing that there is still more than an hour before the sky will be dark, Rong Cheng has to consider many practical problems. For example, whether to fight at night, whether to set up camp, how many reinforcements there are in Zou Cheng City, whether the Qi army will surround them at night, and so on.

To Rong Yan's slight relief, at least so far, the scouts he sent had not found any movement of the Qi army within a radius of twenty miles, but the bad news was that not having it now did not mean that it would not be in the future, and it did not mean that it would not be in an hour!

In a word, it is a prophecy! An hour later, the army led by Tian Dan really rushed to the city of Zoucheng. Fortunately, Rong Yan's premonition was extremely accurate, and he had already set up camp before that, so that the Yan army would not sleep in the wilderness after dark. Tian Dan sent many scouts to lock down the whereabouts of the Yan army, and then led 50,000 Qi troops into the small city of Zoucheng.

The worst thing happened after all, Rong Yu didn't know that no matter whether he went north to rescue Ju Xin or detoured to Zou Cheng to rescue him, he still couldn't escape the calculations of the Qi army! Even, as long as he dares to go north with all his might, the layers of traps along the way are enough to make Yan Jun miserable!

Today, the small Zou City has gathered more than 100,000 troops! Among them, the Yan army had 45,000 men, including 35,000 infantry soldiers and 10,000 cavalry; The Qi army had 52,000 men, including 50,000 infantry soldiers and 2,000 cavalry. The Yan army seemed to be 7,000 fewer in number, but the extra 8,000 cavalry was enough to close the gap.

But even so, in the face of an evenly matched opponent, Rong Worm couldn't laugh! Because the reason why Rong Yi abandoned Yu Ling and wanted Zou Cheng, a small town closer to Jishui, was to get rid of the Qi army and rescue the Juxin army. was blocked by Tian Dan like this, and his plan was completely frustrated!

Send troops to Zou Cheng, this is Rong Cheng's choice. Although the direction of Zou Cheng is too calm, and the calm is a little unsettling, the noise in the south of Gaowan is even more dangerous!

The army led by Tian Dan has gone to the east of Gaowan to show that he is temporarily out of the matter, but the carts and horses transporting grain and grass are still constantly in and out of the south of Gaowan, which makes people puzzled. Everyone knows that the Yan army is short of grain and grass, and the Qi army is acting like this, isn't it trying to cover it up? !

Whether Yan Guo can take Zou Cheng or not depends on his own ability!

Under such circumstances, Rong Yicai personally led the 45,000-strong Yan army of foot soldiers, abandoned Yuling, and sent troops to Zoucheng. There were no dangers along the way, and the short journey of forty miles did not cost the Yan army much body, but the high concentration and constant vigilance against possible sneak attacks made many Yan soldiers very tired.

Zou Cheng is very small, there are less than 2,000 households in the city, if such a small town is not cheapened by the proximity to the capital Linzi, there will not be many garrisons!

On several occasions, he wanted to give full play to his superiority in strength and attack the city, but suddenly a lot of arrows and stones flew in the city, and he lost more than a thousand men and horses in a moment. Since then, Rong Yi can only honestly use his life to consume the vitality of the Qi army.

It's a pity that the Yan army killed more than 6,000 people before and after, but the number of Qi troops in the city seems to have never been small.
