Chapter 5 - Tracing the Poseidon (Bag Clip)

At this time, Chen Xian's determination has been made, after he got the accurate information of the scout captain, he immediately dispatched all the troops to attack the city at the fastest speed, the distance between the starfall forest and the city is not far, if the cavalry attacks with all their strength, they can arrive in two days, and then the Qi army in the city has no time to react and notify Sun Hao to return to the army, and he can easily break through the city that has not been fully put into battle with the strong combat power of the army of the Fengzhan Society.

Chen Xian knew very well that if he failed again, not only would his life be difficult to protect, but it would also cause a heavy setback to the main army of the Feng Zhan Society, which might make the Feng Guo unable to fight against the Dark Legion and become a pawn of the Dark Legion again. The Holy Emperor has been looking for a way to get rid of the Dark Legion, and if he fails, it will be tantamount to putting the entire Sealing War in an irreparable situation.

The previous ambush in Ruocheng had already made Chen Xian hold back his anger and resentment, and he was bent on defeating the Qi State to make a name for himself and fight for hope for the Sealing War. Taking advantage of this opportunity, 25,000 troops marched forward to the city at great speed under the cover of night.

On the other side of the Starfall Forest, the light of the fire lit under the cover of night moved slowly in the forest. As the sky gradually dawned, you could see that this army was marching towards the Starfall Forest with torches and torches in full gear.

At the front of this team of about seven or eight thousand people, a figure wearing black armor and holding a spear and carrying a longbow behind his back rode on a war horse, leading the army to temporarily stay in the clearing in the Starfall Forest, the young general stared solemnly at the dense woods in front of him. He hadn't been to the Starfall Forest before, so he didn't know what was going on, so he was stationed there for the time being, waiting for a response from the Sentinel Scouts.

Although he did not send a sentry into the depths of the Starfall Forest to explore the news and whereabouts of the Sealed War Society's army, he was actually very clear in his heart that this Sealed War Society's army disappeared for nearly half a month halfway, and it must have taken refuge in this Starfall Forest, or returned to Dream City. However, Sun Hao also knew that Chen Xian would definitely not be willing to withdraw to Dream City like this, and besides, the Holy Emperor who withdrew to Dream City would not be able to spare him, and he would definitely temporarily hide the army in this Starfall Forest to learn about the information near Huicheng.

So, in the sum of Sun Hao and Luo Yinying, they simply calculated it directly, deliberately still let the people go out of the city to harvest grain, and took the initiative to send the old, weak, sick and disabled army to deliberately show a weak state. After that, Sun Hao himself re-led the 7,000 elite troops who had won the previous victory in the Ruocheng ambush, plus 560 elite soldiers, and deliberately marched to the east of Linguan with great fanfare. He knew that in this way, he should be able to force the more than 20,000 troops led by Chen Xian out of the Starfall Forest.

Sun Hao also knew in his heart that the combat effectiveness of the army under his command was not weaker than that of the army under his command, and the number was far greater than the current Qi army in the city, and what was even worse was that the current harvest of food was still intense and enthusiastic inside and outside the city, and the army of the Fengzhan Society was likely to fall into extreme passivity once it was killed. Therefore, Sun Hao deliberately led the army to leave Huicheng and went to attack Donglinguan with great fanfare. Sun Hao's ultimate goal was to attract Chen Xian and the more than 20,000 Dream City troops led by him, release them from the Starfall Forest, and deliberately let them attack Huicheng.

There are still more than 10,000 elite troops in the city, and these more than 10,000 elite troops are temporarily left in the city under the leadership of Luo Yinying. Of course, this scene was naturally seen by all the sentinels sent by Chen Xian, Sun Hao and Luo Yinying had already guessed that Chen Xian would inevitably send sentinels to reconnoiter the situation around the city, and he would definitely know that the current situation was the most suitable time for him to lead the army to raid the city.

So, Sun Hao and Luo Yinying simply made a plan directly, while Sun Hao deliberately led the army to leave Huicheng and go to Donglinguan with great fanfare, but in fact, he deliberately led out Chen Xian's army hiding in the Starfall Forest. Of course, there is still a little instability in the plan of the two of them, that is, the army led by Huicheng and Sun Hao cannot form a connection with each other, and they can only rely on the approximate time and news to return to attack Chen Xian's army. And once Chen Xian was not lured by the city to send troops to attack, the situation would be uncertain.

However, Sun Hao and Luo Yinying have no other better choice, if they don't take risks now, I am afraid that there will be variables in the long run, although there is a shortage of food in the feudal country, and the best way to get food is to attack the Qi country or attack the Yicheng where the white-clothed heavenly girl and the coalition army of the country are stationed. In comparison, it must be that it is relatively simple, convenient and easy to attack the Qi Capital City. Therefore, Chen Xian and the army of the Feudal War Society under his command will inevitably attack the city.

Sun Hao estimated that the time should be almost up, and he directly led his army south to the Starfall Forest to find the traces of Chen Xian's army, although this Starfall Forest covers a vast area, but in fact it is not enough to affect them to find the whereabouts of Chen Xian's army. Because the strength of the army under Chen Xian's command is still there, the Dream City army led by Ling Ying still has more than 25,000 people, and it is not very realistic for this army to hide its movements. Sun Hao's army sent sentries to easily find the location of the clearing in the middle of the forest where Chen Xian's garrison was, and the campfires that had been raised here had not completely disappeared, and the camp tents had not been completely removed.

After receiving the news, Sun Hao rode on a majestic horse and looked around the surrounding situation, and the situation of the surrounding camp happened to be among them, so Sun Hao was sure that Chen Xian had led his army out of this Starfall Forest, and his goal must be to target Huicheng, which did not seem to be fully engaged in combat from the outside. Thinking of this, a comfortable smile appeared on the corner of Sun Hao's mouth, he and Luo Yinying's plan had basically succeeded, and now Chen Xian and Ling Ying had fallen into the trap they had buried in advance.

"Pass my order, and the whole army will immediately set off to return to Huicheng!" Leaving the garrison of the Fengzhan Hui army, Sun Hao immediately issued a military order to the generals around him to return to Huicheng, and the eight thousand troops regrouped and returned to Huicheng at a gallop.

......

Two days later, in the early morning, Luo Yinying, who deployed the defense almost all night last night, almost sleeplessly, she arranged the city defense to deploy the army all night last night, because she knew that it might not be long before the army of the Fengzhan Society would be killed here, and at present, the army she could call on was only more than 10,000 people, and there were more than 3,000 old and weak troops in this army, and these old and weak armies were used to attract the attention of the Fengzhan Hui's army and implement the strategic plan of flanking the front and back in Luo Yinying and Sun Hao's plan. Luo Yinying and the defenders of Huicheng are currently the most important task is to attract Chen Xian's army to attack Huicheng, Luo Yinying is very clear that the current 10,000 troops in the city are the more elite soldiers of Qi State, with the defense of Huicheng that has already been built and strengthened, they can easily hold the attack of more than 20,000 troops of the Fengzhan Hui army, and their main purpose is to attract the attention of the Fengzhan Hui army, so that the 8,000 troops led by Sun Hao can attack the Fengzhan Hui army from behind and defeat it in one fell swoop.

Sun Hao and Luo Yinying's plan has been constructed for nearly half a month, and it can be said that every detail has been perfected as much as possible, and the forward cavalry of the Feng Zhanhui army has already killed at the gate of the city in the early morning of this day and began to implement the ambush plan of raiding the people outside the city. Fortunately, it was still early, the people in the city had stayed in the city for the time being and had not left the city, and the wheat had almost been harvested, so Chen Xian's carefully planned raid plan did not succeed.

Of course, the alarm of the arrival of the cavalry was still transmitted to the city in time and reached Luo Yinying's ears. Luo Yinying, who got the news, immediately began to deploy, and sent all the troops to the city tower for the defense of the whole army. More than 10,000 Qi troops were deployed neatly on the city tower, and there were 2,000 Qi crossbowmen in this 10,000 army, these crossbowmen were the most elite troops of Qi State, and they were once garrisoned in Xuancheng, the capital of Qi State. Before the start of the defense of Xuancheng, he evacuated to Huicheng in advance to settle the people, so he avoided the extremely tragic defense of Xuancheng, and now these two thousand crossbowmen are the most important subordinates of Qi.

With Luo Yinying's military order issued, the two thousand crossbowmen concentrated near the east city wall began to fire a dense and fast rain of arrows at the cavalry of the Fengzhan Society outside the city, and the rain of arrows directly suppressed the thousands of cavalry outside the city. As a result, this cavalry unit was temporarily evacuated to a relatively safe environment, temporarily waiting for the arrival of the follow-up main force.

Within two hours of the arrival of the cavalry, the main force of the Sealing Battle Society led by Chen Xian and Ling Ying hurried to the vicinity of the city, Chen Xian and Ling Ying had already received the latest news, and the dense defense in the city made it impossible for them to carry out the surprise attack plan. However, after carefully observing the situation at the head of the city, Chen Xian had basically seen that the number of defenders in the city was not enough, and there were only more than 10,000 people at most, and if he carried out a strong attack, he might not have a chance to capture the city.

Ling Ying rode his horse close to Chen Xian's side, and he asked Chen Xian in an inquiring tone, "Brother, our raid plan has been discovered, what should we do in this situation......?

Ling Ying had always had reservations about whether to send troops to attack the Qi State, but after all, he had a good relationship with Chen Xian, and the order of Princess Rong Le had already been issued to make him Chen Xian's lieutenant general, so he couldn't raise an objection, and could only use a consultative tone to raise his own concerns with Chen Xian.
