After a whole afternoon of deliberation, the Zhou army made a clear decision on the strategy of dividing the troops and advancing forward, the distribution of troops and horses, and the selection of the commander.

Wusheng Jie Du made Hou Zhang the main one, and Zhao Kuangyin was the deputy, leading 30,000 troops to the southeast to raid Chuzhou;

The general of the camp and the inner temple knew that Li Chongjin was the main one, and Shi Detong was the deputy, leading 20,000 infantry and all 9,000 naval troops, and killed Haozhou in the east by land and water.

All the remaining 70,000 troops were divided into three parts, which were surrounded by the west, north, and east gates of Shouzhou, and only the south gate did not leave a single soldier.

On 7 October, when the sky was just dark, the torches in the major camps of the Zhou army in Shouzhou were everywhere, and the noise was incomparable, and the troop movements were frequent.

Lin Feng, who had just gone back to rest for a while, was woken up urgently, and Lin Feng immediately summoned the main generals of the army to gather at the head of Nancheng, where there was the largest movement, to discuss.

This time, the main generals of the four city gates have a very unanimous opinion, and the enemy's strength advantage is obvious.

Looking at the bustling Zhou army below, dismantling military tents, transporting things, and carrying weapons, Lin Feng, who was playing with the telescope in his hand, kept frowning and silent. At this time, the night is almost completely dark, and the telescope can't see far, so it's better to use your eyes directly!

Lin Feng had a very strong intuition in his heart, in the case of a strong attack, the overall siege strategy of the Zhou army must have changed. But now that his own military strength has almost not been lost, how much arrogance can Li Gu have to gamble with the soldiers at the south gate to lure him out of the city to attack? Is it possible that the Zhou army is really going to evacuate the south gate and prepare to encircle Sanqueyi? Do you want to raid it?

When Lin Feng said his thoughts, Ge Chang, Cheng Yuehai, and Suo Chao were all stunned, and they all shook their heads slightly and were silent, only Wei San nodded in support.

Lin Feng refused to give up, and persuaded again: "The defenders of our cities will not move, pull out the mobile troops, rush wildly for a while, and see how the enemy reacts." ”

Since Lin Feng was very persistent, the four main generals had no choice but to agree, and agreed that Feng Jingyun would lead the special soldiers to lead the support masters and the elite 8,000 people in the army to raid.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the marching drums suddenly sounded at the heads of other cities in Shouzhou, and the major battalions of the Zhou army outside the city that were mobilizing troops were all taken aback and waited for battle. But after a while the drums stopped, and the torches on the city were extinguished. After a while, the torches were lit again, and the drums were dull again. The battalions of the Zhou army were even more nervous, staring intently at the city gate.

In this process, the troops in Shouzhou City were mobilized in place, and all the eight thousand elites gathered at the south gate with swords and shields.

Lin Feng hugged Feng Jingyun and other special soldiers, telling them in every way that they must retreat after hearing the order, and not to fall in love with war.

The south gate of the city opened unconsciously, and the wind and clouds took the lead, and the special elites dressed in black took the lead in rushing out of the city gate, and the He Dun went straight to the southern camp of the Zhou army, which had already demolished part of the wall.

Facing the sparse arrows, the advance troops quickly rushed to the wall, cut down the wall in front of them with shields and big axes, and marched with a shout, and then divided into six and rushed towards the camp. The follow-up troops fought in full force, sweeping around the six passages that had just been opened.

Although there was a slight preparation, the southern camp of the Zhou army, which was already in a panic, immediately blew up some nests, and the soldiers shouted and fled, shouting from east to west for a while, and suddenly from north to south for a while.

After some soldiers at the tail of the Shouzhou raid force broke into the camp, they did not kill the enemy, but found torches and lit them everywhere, making the entire camp bright.

In front of them, the soldiers who had rushed out of the camp for some distance suddenly closed in the middle, joined forces, and then turned to the right side of the camp again, just avoiding the troops that had been assembled in the center of the camp.

"Toot! Honk! Two terrible whistles came from the west and east corner towers. In the shadows, there were large black shadows moving towards the east and west, and the sound of footsteps was faintly audible.

Lin Feng was shocked in his heart, the enemy really had an ambush, and immediately roared: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

As soon as the gong sounded, the elite who were raiding the enemy camp immediately retreated, and the speed was only faster than when they attacked just now. At this time, the spears of those special soldiers who fell behind provoked those originally scattered fires, quickly forming a line of fire, successfully delaying the pursuit of the soldiers of the large battalion.

The raid was like a shower, coming and going faster. The Zhou army, which was surrounded from the east, west, and south, could only sigh and watch as those Shouzhou elites successfully withdrew into the city. In the southwest of the camp, Zhao Kuangyin restrained the galloping war horse and ordered the army not to pursue it needlessly.

Tonight, under the city of Shouzhou, it was really a trap discussed by the generals of the Zhou family, and each battalion secretly took out 10,000 elites to go on the expedition and secretly lurked at the corners of the four cities, which is equivalent to 20,000 soldiers guarding a city wall at the same time. In addition, Li Chongjin personally led 10,000 elites to lurk in the northeast corner, and Zhao Kuangyin led 10,000 elites to lurk five miles outside the southwest corner, and planned to ambush the Shouzhou army at the eastern, southern, and western gates.

However, everyone couldn't imagine that Lin Feng was so cunning, he didn't love war at all, and he left with one shot, so that these generals of the Zhou army could not be helped.

An attack and ambush that ended without a problem made Lin Feng at the head of the city, Li Chongjin and Zhao Kuangyin under the city very annoyed at the same time. However, at this moment, the most annoying person around this north-south war is not them, but Guo Wei, the Great Zhou Emperor who is far away in Kaifeng City, Tokyo.

The reason is very simple, the Khitan and the Northern Han really sent troops together!

In Guo Wei's initial plan, the Southern Tang Dynasty was not afraid at all, although there was a Lin Feng sitting in Shouzhou City, but how could the 180,000 army be easy to go down, Guo Wei was trying to take advantage of this battle to boost the prestige of the Great Zhou Army and the country, so he temporarily appointed the commander of the south as Li Gu, who was not very famous, and was preparing to drive his own expedition, but because he was worried about the Khitan and Northern Han who were about to move in the north, he temporarily stayed in Tokyo City to watch the development of the situation.

Several 800-mile urgent reports on the imperial case were written very simply and clearly: on October 5, the Khitan sent Zhangguo Jiedu to make Xiao Yu lead Xi and 50,000 Khitan horses to join the Northern Han army to invade, and Liu Chong, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, personally led 20,000 troops to go out of the Yin Pass and then invade Jinzhou!

Because of the guerrilla warfare one after another, the four states of Jin Jiang have not been very calm, and the defenders of less than 20,000 have been a little stretched, and now, 70,000 strong troops are united to the south, and Jin Jiang is in danger!

Dealing with the enemy from the north has always been the top major event of the Central Plains court. Guo Wei did not hesitate and quickly ordered:

Bai Privy Envoy, Tongping Zhangshi, Zuo Servant Shot, and Servant Wang Jun as the northern envoy, Hezhong Jiedu Envoy, Tongping Zhangshi Wang Yanchao as the deputy envoy, Long Jie Du commanded Shi Yanchao, Hu Jie commanded He Hui, patrol envoy Wang Wandang and others as the main generals, urgently requisitioned Chenzhou defense envoy Yao Yuanfu as the vanguard, and the army was mainly 30,000 forbidden troops and 30,000 Hezhong troops, and immediately went north to meet the enemy.

On the evening of October 6, Yao Yuanfu, who had arrived urgently, set out with a vanguard army of 5,000, and Wang Jun led a forbidden army of 25,000 to follow closely behind, first going west to join the army in Hezhong.

60,000 elites plus the original 20,000 defenders, a total of 80,000 troops, and with a favorable location, it is also a very safe thing to block the enemy army with only 70,000.

However, what made Guo Wei very annoyed in the past two days was that there was a problem with Wang Jun, the commander of the army!
