The situation on the border has become more tense and the fighting has become more tense.

The high morale in the army has also slowly decreased, and it is a loss that there are still eight princes in charge, otherwise they would have fled in scattered places long ago.

After all, no one wants to fight.

But the enemy army of Zheng State came and invaded the border area again and again, causing the border people to flee inland, so that the Eighth Prince had no good way to let them go back to their lair.

The military has long had many opinions on this......

"Since we came to the border area, we have also won a lot of battles, but this Zheng Guo is drilling in that rat hole, so he dares to show his head and only look for those innocent people, which is really despicable."

A soldier also echoed, "Who said it wasn't, this battle was really boring, then Zheng Guoren was all mother-in-law, and it was not easy to do things at all, it was really annoying." ”

“……”

Since their last defeat, they have never dared to go head-to-head with the army, and they don't know if they want to use roundabout tactics to delay time, or if they really don't have the courage to do so.

Zheng Guo came to the people's house one day to steal a chicken and touch a dog, and one day came to the village to burn a house, so he would only do this kind of petty thing.

It is difficult to find a single local person to ask for directions in the entire frontier area, and the generals in the army can only rely on the map in their hands to find the terrain.

Zheng Guo is different, they know the terrain very well, which is an excellent advantage for them, and it is indeed a difficult disadvantage for the Eight Princes to overcome.

"My subordinates ask to see His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." A lieutenant general saluted and shouted outside the camp tent of the Eighth Prince.

"Enter."

A deep male voice sounded in the tent, and when he heard it, he knew that he was not in a good mood.

After entering the account, the general gave a military salute as soon as possible.

This is the highest etiquette in the army, and it is the eighth prince of the dynasty who sits on the top, so naturally he must not be sloppy.

"Why do you want to see Your Highness?" The Eighth Prince pinched his temple impatiently, seeing that he didn't rest well last night.

He didn't have any opinion about the general who came, he was simply upset by the border war.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have something I want to discuss with you." The general didn't open his eyes or anything, and said straight to the point.

As soon as these words came out, this made the eighth prince interested, looked up at him slightly, didn't know what he wanted to discuss with him, and patiently waited for his next words.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince didn't dare to go out by himself, the general's courage grew, "Your Highness, it's just that we have been fighting with Zheng Guo on the border for a few days, and the battle is becoming more and more stalemate, we can't sit still like this!" ”

"Then you want to go back on the defensive?"

I saw the eighth prince raise his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly understood what he meant.

At this time, his interest was aroused, and he immediately put down what he was doing and listened attentively to what the general below was saying.

In fact, the general's worries are completely unnecessary, now is the time when talents are needed, and there needs to be a way to break this deadlock, and the eighth prince has no reason to drive him away.

After all, as the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

It doesn't matter if it's good or not, it's better to have a way than to wait.

"Your Highness guessed right, that's exactly what your subordinates think." The general nodded solemnly, and he continued, "Zheng Guo has always harassed the people on the border of our country, causing them great trouble, but he did not dare to confront our army head-on, and his subordinates wanted His Highness to arrange a few people to burn their grain and grass depot at night. ”

"Why are you burning their bars?"

His words made the Eighth Prince lose his mind all of a sudden, and there seemed to be no connection between breaking the deadlock and burning the grain and grass storehouse.

The general explained: "Your Highness should have heard a sentence, as the saying goes, 'the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first', and the only people who dare to burn the grain and grass warehouse are us, and the army is waiting for food with all their mouths open, and they have no food, so they will naturally panic."

As soon as they panic, the morale of the army will be unstable, and then we will set up traps in advance and wait for them to take the bait themselves. ”

Hearing what he said, the Eighth Prince burst out laughing, "Hahahahahaha, this plan is wonderful!" It's wonderful! ”

He got up from his seat excitedly, walked straight to the general, and then patted him on the shoulder, he admired the general's strategy in his heart.

"If this plan is successful, His Highness will be rewarded." The eighth prince waved his hand and motioned for him to go down.

"Thank Your Highness for the reward, and your subordinates will retire." Seeing that he had been appreciated by the Eighth Prince, the general was also very happy, and then left the camp with a sense of humor

Subsequently, he began to lay out this matter while the iron was hot, first found a few skilled soldiers in the army to dress up, and then went to Mr. Feng Shui to measure tonight's night signs.

The time and place were favorable, and the eighth prince had not slept all night, waiting for the good news that those soldiers had brought to him.

Looking at the smoke billowing in the distance, you knew it was done. The officers and men of the army cheered one after another.

They did not delay at all, and began to set traps overnight, and wiped down all the knives, forks, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks in the armory.

Just wait for Zheng Jun to attack, and kill him again by surprise.

Sure enough, the next morning, Zheng Jun rushed straight to the barracks.

They looked menacing but were deflated halfway through, and the traps they laid alone killed nearly half of the soldiers of the Zheng army.

"A small barbarian country dares to fight with His Highness, it is really looking for death." The eighth prince snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he raised his sword to kill the enemy, and the soldiers behind him also swarmed up.

Last night, the grain and grass depot was successfully burned, and the morale of the officers and men in the army was very high, and almost all of them could do it with one as five, and the Zheng army was repulsed in less than an hour.

The most important thing is that if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose less than a hundred.

"This battle is a great victory, and everyone will be rewarded after returning to the camp!" The Eighth Prince sat on his horse, raised his sword and shouted loudly.

The sword still had the blood of the enemy flowing on it, and it was very dazzling after being reflected by the red sun in the east.

"Good!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, cleaned the battlefield one after another, and returned to the court with the trophies.

The grain and grass warehouse was burned, and Zheng Guo's army was forced to retreat, and now Zheng Guoke was in a hurry, and they wanted to attack from another place.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the troops sent by Hui Shangyi from another place, and after Hui Shangyi learned the news, he immediately ordered them to stop the advance of the Zheng army.

The people under Yuan Xian's hands are not soft rice, everyone is a master of one top, and the people sent by the deputy commander of the palace guard will naturally not be bad.

It's just that when the two armies were fighting, Zheng Guo found that although the other army's strength was very strong, there was no general to command the battle.

"It turned out to be a plate of loose sand that didn't even have the backbone, no matter how strong the strength was, what was the use, see if I didn't annihilate you in one fell swoop." After General Zheng Guo found out, he immediately came with confidence.

Anyway, they are also Zheng Guo's army, and they think that it is easy for them to defeat such a team, but in fact, they are not.

After having the bottom, General Zheng Guo directly ordered the soldiers behind him to rush forward, and there was no tactics at all.

By doing this, he didn't take the team sent by Hui Shangyi into account at all.

"Fortunately, we have been prepared, and it is really thanks to Deputy Commander Yuan who expected this and gave us the formation map early, this group of Zheng soldiers also looks down on people too much, and they really think that they can defeat us, it is just a fool's dream!" The lieutenant general in the team thought to himself.

He couldn't help but sneer, feeling sorry for their recklessness.

"Everything went according to plan, and no one was allowed to act without permission." The adjutant general stared at the Zheng Guo soldiers who rushed up and said slowly.

Then he began to give orders, pointing to those behind him, and said: "A few of you are outflanked from the left, a few of you are outflanked from the right, and a few of you, you go around to the back of Zheng Jun as fast as you can to raid, and the rest of the people follow me to kill the enemy."

The arranged soldiers said in unison: "Yes!"

And all this, Zheng Guo's army didn't know it, and he knew that he rushed forward like a swarm of headless flies.

They would definitely not have thought that the other party would actually send soldiers to outflank them from the left and right, let alone that there would be soldiers raiding from behind, which made them panic all of a sudden.

The speed of rushing forward slowed down instantly, and the adjutant general led a part of the people to go up and kill, and soon solved the main force.

In this battle, Zheng's army was defeated again.

Soon, the matter reached Duguyin's ears, and the case was taken instantly.

The green tendons on the forehead burst out, and he roared angrily: "Is it really that I have no one in Zheng Guo?" General Ben really underestimated this group of, and it seems that I have to clean them up myself. ”

"The general is wise, and as soon as the general comes out, it is simply a top trick." A small attendant echoed him, and slapped a good horse.

However, Dugu Yin eats this set very much.

Hurried to the border area and became a member of Zheng Guo's army.

The soldier, who had suffered two defeats, thought he was going back to his lair, but as soon as he came to the barracks to sit down, he suddenly became all radiant.

In the evening, they directly found a few elite generals to raid the military camp of the Eighth Prince, which was the best victory that their Zheng State had fought for so long.

He Dugu Yin has no ability, but he can lead troops to fight, which has always been a headache for the eighth prince, but he didn't expect to come so soon.

"General Dugu is powerful, he defeated the team at the first stop and won the victory, so he should extinguish their prestige."

"General Dugu is the number one general of our Zheng State, if he dares to say that he is the second to lead his troops to fight, then no one dares to say that he is the first, just follow General Dugu."

Zheng Jun began to discuss in the barracks, and everyone praised Duguyin, and the morale of the army increased greatly.

After Hui Shangyi learned of this, he was worried that something would happen, so he immediately wrote a letter asking Xie Yunxiu to go to the border to supervise the battle in the form of Yuan Xian, and said that he and Xiao Li would arrive later.

Mrs. Yuan was worried that something would happen and applied to go with her.
