A few miles south of Jicheng, the 5,000 Wudang Flying Army led by Zhuge Xiong encountered the 5,000 cavalry of Zhao State.

Seeing that the cavalry of Zhao State did not slow down, but accelerated and rushed over, Zhuge Xiong knew that the cavalry of Zhao State was not good, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to disperse and form a concave formation to surround the front arrow formation of the cavalry of Zhao State.

The cavalry of Zhao State saw Zhuge Xiong's troops lined up in a strange concave formation, and couldn't help but be slightly curious, you must know that the cavalry has the strongest impact power, for this reason, the cavalry formations are all convex sharp arrow formations and conical formations, but the cavalry under Zhuge Xiong's command is lined up in a concave formation, how can this not make the Zhao soldiers feel strange.

The soldiers of the Zhao army were still wondering, but Zhuge Xiong, the general of the Jin army, was ready to attack.

"Soldiers, release the arrows." When the distance between the cavalry of the two sides was less than a stone's throw away, Zhuge Xiong gave the order to shoot with a bow and arrow.

The firing frequency of the "Whoosh ......" repeater crossbow is very fast, and the Wudang Fei Army under Zhuge Xiong is lined up in a concave formation, and the area of contact with the Zhao cavalry is large, so it has caused huge damage to the Zhao cavalry in an instant.

Ten arrows are prepared for crossbows, and 5,000 crossbows are 50,000 crossbow arrows, and in a very short period of time, 50,000 crossbow arrows shoot at close range the cavalry corps of Zhao State, and the losses can be imagined.

Seeing the countless arrows shooting towards him quickly, the soldiers of the Zhao army were stunned, and before they had time to react, the outermost soldiers were all shot by the arrows, and then rolled off their horses, whimpering for their lives.

The soldiers of Zhao State in the inner layer couldn't contain their horses, and most of them rolled off their horses. The entire cavalry phalanx of the Zhao army was suddenly in chaos and lost the ability to continue to charge forward.

The cavalry under Zhuge Xiong's command had already put away his crossbow and pulled out the long sword at his waist.

"Kill ......" 5,000 Wudang Flying Army raised their long swords and killed the cavalry corps of the Zhao Army.

The cavalry of the Zhao army has suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Jin army's five thousand crossbows, and at this moment it is completely unable to organize effective resistance.

"Retreat, the whole army retreats." The cavalry generals of the Zhao army saw that if they did not retreat, the whole army would be annihilated. Thereupon. The order to retreat was given.

When the cavalry of the Zhao army heard the order, they immediately quickly turned their horses and fled backwards, trying to avoid the attack of the Jin army's Wudang Fei army.

When Zhuge Xiong saw that the cavalry of the Zhao army was about to flee, he immediately shouted: "Soldiers. Hunt down Zhao Jun. Kill ......"

The soldiers under his command heard the order. Immediately pursued forward at full speed, and slashed and killed the fallen Zhao cavalry along the way, achieving good results.

After more than ten miles of pursuit. Seeing that some of the cavalry of the Zhao army had fled far away, Zhuge Xiong issued an order to stop the pursuit, and led his Wudang Fei army to return to Jicheng and report the results of the battle to Hua'an.

After Hua'an completely took control of Jicheng, he took Wang San and other generals to wait for Zhuge Xiong's arrival outside the south gate of Jicheng, and in Hua'an, Zhuge Xiong had enough strength to defeat the cavalry of the Zhao army, so he fully believed that Zhuge Xiong would return triumphantly.

Sure enough, not long after Hua'an and other generals stood outside the south gate, Zhuge Xiong led his Wudang Fei army to the south gate.

Seeing that Hua'an and other generals personally greeted him outside the south gate, Zhuge Xiong hurriedly dismounted, hugged his fists and reported: "General, our cavalry has won a complete victory, destroying more than 1,000 enemies, and our army's losses are less than 50. ”

"Okay, well done, the general will know that General Zhuge is the most capable of fighting, go, enter the city." Hua An was overjoyed to see Zhuge Xiong's great victory, and led a group of generals into Jicheng and began to discuss the next march plan.

At the camp of Sun Fudu, less than twenty miles north of Shichang City, the defeated cavalry of the Zhao army returned to the camp and told Sun Fudu the news that Jicheng had been broken by the Jin army, and told Sun Fudu of the terrible combat strength of the Jin army.

When Sun Fudu heard this, he couldn't help but be angry and shocked, he didn't expect the Jin army to break through Jicheng so quickly, and according to the report of the defeated army, the cavalry of the Jin army was extremely terrifying, and the efficiency of the siege was even faster and more terrifying.

"I haven't fought for many years, this young general from the Northern Expeditionary Army is getting more and more powerful, this person will be my Da Zhao's henchman in the future!" Sun Fudu sighed softly.

"General, the Jin army has broken through Jicheng and cut off the grain route from our army's Guanzhong to Liangzhou, what should our army do?" The general said worriedly.

Sun Fudu suddenly ran out of ideas, right now, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Liangzhou Legion of the Jin Army have approached the vicinity of his camp, and there is a possibility of launching an attack at any time, as long as the army under his command returns to Jicheng, the Liangzhou Legion of the Jin Army will definitely be pressed immediately, so as to put the army under his command in a passive situation.

However, if he did not immediately return to Jicheng, the grain route of the Western Expedition army would not be unblocked, and the blow to the Western Expedition army would be huge, so he had to lead the troops back to Jicheng.

After thinking about it, Sun Fudu felt that he still had to immediately lead the army back to aid Jicheng, in order to prevent the Jin army's Liangzhou army from pursuing from behind, he decided to use the strategy of the suspicious army to drag the Jin army's Liangzhou army first, so as to quickly recapture Jicheng.

At the same time, considering that the army under his command was not the opponent of the Jin army's Hua'an Division, Sun Fudu sent reliable henchmen to the direction of Liangzhou to inform Ma Qiu of the news that the Jin army's 50,000 troops had entered Tianshui County, so that Ma Qiu could be psychologically prepared.

After being ready, Ma Qiu left 2,000 soldiers to guard the camp and patrol around to create the momentum of the main army, but the main army took advantage of the cover of night to quietly return to Jicheng.

Sun Fudu's suspicious plan to get rid of the golden cicada really confused the Liangzhou army of the Jin army in a short period of time, so that Chen Ting's army did not find anything abnormal.

Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Ting led a group of generals to patrol a few miles outside the Zhao army's camp, and was stunned to find some abnormalities, although the Zhao army's camp tent and patrol soldiers did not decrease at all, but the cooking smoke when cooking was much less, which surprised Chen Ting, and felt that the main force of the Zhao army might have withdrawn.

"Oh no, the main force of the Zhao army may have left, Jicheng, they must have returned to help Jicheng." Chen Ting said remorsefully.

"Father, the main force of the Zhao army has withdrawn, how do you see it?" Chen Poyu asked softly.

"Cooking smoke, now is the time for the Zhao army to cook, why is there only such a little cooking smoke in the Zhao army's camp, isn't it strange, it must be the main army of the Zhao army withdrew." Chen Ting said with certainty.

"Father, could this be a trap deliberately set by Sun Fudu, using a small amount of cooking smoke to confuse our army, once our army enters the Zhao army camp, it will be ambushed by Sun Fudu." Chen Xiaohu said worriedly.

Chen Ting shook his head and said softly: "It shouldn't be, according to time, at this moment, General Hua's personal guards have already broken through Jicheng, and Sun Fudu should also know the news, in this case, Sun Fudu must be in a hurry to return to Jicheng, leaving a small number of soldiers and horses just to confuse our army, and the possibility of setting up an ambush is really unlikely." ”

"Father, let the child lead 10,000 troops into the Zhao army camp first, if there is no ambush, the father will lead the main army to enter later." Chen Xuanhu shouted for his life.

"Okay, kill Hu, you immediately lead the troops into the Zhao army camp, and lead the 20,000 troops to march later." Chen Ting ordered softly.

"Yes, father." Chen Zhanhu answered loudly, and then went to the camp to gather people.

Soon, the 30,000 troops of the Liangzhou army were ready, Chen Zhenhu first led 10,000 troops to attack the Zhao army camp, and Chen Ting led 20,000 troops to fight several miles outside to determine whether the Zhao army camp was an empty city or not.

The soldiers of the Zhao army patrolling in the camp of the Zhao army, seeing the main force of the Jin army coming quickly, knew that they could not resist it, so they immediately fled in the direction of Jicheng to avoid the killing of the Jin army.

Chen Zhanhu led the army to quickly enter the Zhao army camp, and scattered his troops to the Zhao army camp tent.

The soldiers used the weapons in their hands to cut open the tent of the Zhao army's camp and found that there was nothing inside, which means that the Zhao army's camp was really empty.

For the sake of safety, Chen ordered his soldiers to continue marching towards the perimeter of the Zhao army's camp to thoroughly check the situation in the vicinity, and finally determined that the main force of the Zhao army had withdrawn.

Seeing that the main force of the Zhao army had indeed withdrawn, Chen Ting did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led his 30,000 soldiers to march in the direction of Jicheng.

####

Two days later, nearly 30,000 troops under Sun Fudu arrived at the city of Jicheng and prepared to attack the city.

Seeing that Sun Fudu's main army arrived at the city so quickly, Hua An was somewhat surprised, but after all, there were 10,000 elite troops under his command, and there were many black powder that had not been used up.

In order to see for himself the power of black powder exploding in the enemy group, Hua An decided to personally command the battle to defend the city, and let all the black powder brought by the guards be used.

"Big brother, this Sun Fudu really has two hits, he actually got rid of the 30,000 main force of our army, and came to Jicheng alone, and I don't know if General Chen Ting found out at this time." Wang San looked at Zhao Jun outside the city and said softly.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "This Sun Fu is a famous general of Zhao State, so he is naturally a little capable, but at this time, General Chen Ting's men and horses should already be on the way, or it won't be long before they arrive in Jicheng, so Sun Fudu has little time to break the city quickly, and he will die." ”

When Wang San heard this, his face was full of excitement, and he said loudly: "Big brother, with my personal guards guarding Jicheng, how can Sun Fudu break through the city, he is killing himself." ”

Hua An smiled and nodded, staring at Sun Fudu's army who was preparing to attack the city.

Because the Hua'an Department of the pro-guard army in the siege of the city, the south gate of Jicheng was blown up, and a new city gate could not be built in a short period of time, for this reason, the soldiers of the pro-guard army piled up a large number of wood and stones at the south city gate, and completely blocked the city gate, so that the defense of the south city gate was greatly increased, and it was impossible for any weapon of the Zhao army to break the city gate.
