Sima Fa and Ouyang Chun confronted Danjun for more than a month, although Chen Tai and Tang Yu helped each other, they won a small victory, but they were unable to defeat Sima Fa's army, and the checkpoints outside the city were broken, so they could only withdraw to Danjun to defend.

The two armies fought, and Ouyang Chun's many surprise attacks were seen through by Sima Fa, losing dozens of generals such as Liang Man, Liang Kun, Liu Li, Liu Ji, Zhou Fang, and Feng Ding, killing and wounding more than 5,000 soldiers and 1,000 prisoners.

The front-line battle report was sent to Huajun, and Liang Jing was listed: "Ouyang Chun lost his troops and suffered heavy losses. Sima Fa's army won successive battles and was unstoppable. This person is not Sima Fa's opponent, and Danjun will be broken sooner or later. ”

Ning Ze said: "Ouyang Chun's advance and retreat are well-founded, although he has lost many soldiers, but he can't do it! After repeated defeats, he still held Danjun and did not let Sima Fa's army move forward, which is a complete achievement. With him in charge, there is no need to worry about the west! However, the three states of Xi, Yuan, and Liang need to be closely watched. ”

Ning Ze wrote a letter to Danjun, affirming Ouyang Chun's merits, so that he didn't have to worry about questioning and went all out to deal with Sima Fa.

To be honest, in addition to taking advantage of it at the beginning, during this period of time, in the face of Sima Fa's successive defeats, Ouyang Chun almost doubted his life, no matter what strategy the other party could see. But he couldn't guess the other party's thoughts, if it weren't for Chen Tai and Tang Yu's help, he wouldn't be able to stop Sima Fa at all. Sima Fa's strength surpassed his own several times on the one hand, and at the same time, the army formation of the Art of War was more powerful than himself, and he was slightly hit.

When he was not out of office, he did not put the heroes of the world in his eyes, and at this time he knew that a mountain was even higher.

Not to mention the generals below, even he himself has some doubts about his own ability.

I thought that the continuous defeat and the trapped Danjun were very ugly, and there would definitely be blame from above. Who expected to receive the flying pigeon message, Ning Ze not only did not have the slightest sense of reproach, but affirmed himself and was deeply moved.

So he invited Chen Tai and Tang Yu to meet each other and said to them: "Sima Fa lost at the beginning, and then fought steadily, which was extremely difficult. The three of us together can only defend the city, and we will suffer a lot at his hands. Seeing that we are in a predicament and gradually struggling, it is better to work together and think of ways to break the enemy!"

Chen Tai and Tang Yu nodded and said in unison: "It should be so!"

Combined with the wisdom of the three people, they talked all night, and finally got a consensus - Sima Fa relied on a large number of soldiers and broke the ten meetings with one force. As long as he is stable enough, Danjun will not be able to take him no matter how much he is done. Facing the enemy head-on is not the way, and it is simply impossible to defeat it. And I tried to raid the granary before, but the other party had no flaws and was heavily guarded, but on the contrary, my own troops were lost. The strategies of the three of them could not be effective in the face of Sima Fa, and they were seen through one by one. If you want Sima Fa to withdraw from the army, you can't start from his side.

Since Sima Fa's strategy was seen through, the three of them were helpless against him. It is better to use the opportunity separately and target the enemy other than Sima Fa.

Chen Tai decided to lure the hussar general Zhou Hao away from Sima Fa, so he led his troops from the west gate to break through and climb the Funiu Slope.

Tang Yu broke through from the east gate, pretending to go to Tongjun for help, and hid in Dantong Stream halfway.

After getting the news, the hussar general Zhou Hao really asked Sima Fa for his life: "Military division, Chen Tai broke through and climbed the Funiu Slope, wanting to watch the situation of our army." The last general led his troops to surround the Funiu Slope, which could be captured in one fell swoop. ”

Li Xun, the general next to him, also stood up: "The last general led the troops to pursue Tang Yu, so that he could not reach Tong County and ask for reinforcements." Ouyang Chun had nothing to do, his troops were several times less than our army, and it was not enough to trap the city, so he dared to divide his troops and bring about his own destruction!"

Sima Fa closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Chen Tai's move is not to observe the strength of our army, the terrain of Funiu Slope is not high, it is not as good as a dense forest. Probably to lure our army to divide its troops and relieve the pressure on the city's defense. Or, for some other purpose. ”

"Even if Chen Tai designs, he only needs to trap Funiupo with the advantage of troops, and then attack with fire, the other party will be defeated!" Zhou Hao said.

"Having said that, it's better to be careful!" Sima Fa said, "The general can lead his troops to tie up the Funiu Slope, and do not rush in, lest he fall into his tricks." ”

"Wow!" Zhou Hao ordered.

"Strategist, where is Tang Yu?" Li Xun hurriedly asked.

Sima Fa said to him: "If you ask for help, you only need a fierce general to break through, why lead 20,000 troops to Tongjun? This must be the enemy's strategy, if you chase it, you will be ambushed!"

"In the opinion of the military advisor, how should we deal with it?" asked Li Xun.

"Tang Yu led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the best place to set up an ambush was Dantong Stream. The general can lead 50,000 troops to pursue, and he must not enter lightly near the Dantong Stream, and advance steadily. Sima Fa smiled, "As long as the other party can't surprise the attack, you can destroy it in one fell swoop!"

"Whoa!"

The hussar general Zhou Hao and the general Li Xun were ordered to divide their troops, and each ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses to chase Chen Tai and Tang Yu.

Sima Fa took advantage of the sudden drop in most of Danjun's troops and stormed the city.

Ouyang Chun personally led his troops and cooperated with Liang Kai, Liang Shun, Sun Ling and other Danjun Wenwu City to fight against the offensive.

Prior to this, Ouyang Chun used flying pigeons to pass on the book, and a secret letter was sent to Jiyang.

It is said that Chen Tai led 10,000 troops to climb the Funiu Slope, but was soon surrounded by Zhou Hao's army and trapped at the top.

Zhou Hao sent someone to shout: "General Chen, when the puppet emperor Liu Xian and His Majesty compete for the country today. Zhou Jie is dead, and Tang Niu is trapped in Bian Zhou. Wang Yu is not an opponent of the prime minister. Princess Yuanxi and His Majesty's sister and brother are in love, but they occupy the lands of Jin, Han, and Cheng as a female streamer, and use them for the power of Ning Ze! The locust plague in Jinzhou is a warning from God that Ning Ze will be defeated! Now that your army is bound to be defeated, if you can join us with the talents of a general, the prime minister will definitely be reused. Why don't you go down the mountain and follow me to see the military advisor and serve Your Majesty!"

Chen Tai replied: "Although my lord is a woman, he has the heart to help Dacheng. If His Majesty thinks of the love of his sister and brother, and thinks about the world of Dacheng, he should withdraw his troops to exterminate the rebellion of the princes. When His Majesty and Emperor Shun decide the level, it is the successor to the unification, and my lord will naturally bring the land of the three states to annex, why do you need to use swords and soldiers?"

The subordinates sent the words back, and Zhou Hao could of course hear Chen Tai's plan to delay the army.

I told you that Ning Ze used Liu Yuanxiang to seize the world, but you told me that Liu Yuanxiang had no ambitions, and it was just a bull's head. Zhou Hao thought to himself.

So he ordered someone to send a message again: "If the general refuses to surrender, our army will pile up firewood around Funiu Slope and attack each other with fire." ”

Chen Tai replied: "Let me think about it for a day and then answer." ”

Zhou Hao said: "One day is too much, only half a day! If the general still refuses to surrender, he can only burn the soldiers and horses on the slope with one fire." ”

Chen Tai promised to think carefully and respond after half a day.

On the other side, Tang Yu led his troops to Dantong Stream, and the whole army set up an ambush.

Li Xun led 50,000 troops to pursue all the way and arrived near Dantong Stream.

According to Sima Fa's suggestion, he did not rush into the Dantong Stream, but reorganized the army on the spot, ordered the scouts to investigate all the way, and advanced steadily.

Seeing this, Tang Yu immediately changed his strategy, knowing that Sima Fa had seen through the strategy, canceled the ambush plan, and hid in the mountains to observe secretly.

Sima Fa is difficult, and Li Xun may not be an opponent. He is by Sima Fa's side, and his strategy is basically useless, once he leaves Sima Fa, he can always attract flaws.

Li Xun fought steadily and slowly marched into Dantong Stream.

was ready to fight, but found that Tang Yu's soldiers and horses did not appear.

Ordered people to investigate carefully, and it was impossible for 20,000 soldiers and horses to disappear, and sure enough, they found the traces of the other party's mountaineering, so they led the troops to chase after them.

When Tang Yu was in Danjun, he had a detailed understanding of the surrounding terrain through the sand table, and every place in Dantong Stream was imprinted in his mind and he knew it well.

Knowing that Li Xun led his troops up the mountain to round him up, he quickly thought of a plan and ordered the whole army to go to the depths of the Dantong Stream and pass through the narrow Long Valley.

The opponent's forces are superior, but when they get here, they are directly limited because of the narrow valley. As long as it is introduced into it and fights in the valley, the opponent cannot rely on the superiority of troops to win.

Li Xun was not stupid, he chased all the way to the depths of the Dantong Stream, saw this narrow valley, and immediately ordered the whole army to stop.

After all, he has rich combat experience, and if he faced Tang Yu's situation, he would definitely fight a decisive battle here, use the canyon to limit his troops, and the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.

Therefore, scouts were sent to investigate first.

Tang Yu also knew that Li Xun was not so easy to fall for the scheme, so he ordered someone to prepare in advance.

The scout entered the valley, and there was not a single enemy soldier around, and as he passed, he found various military supplies such as weapons and armor, military rations, tents, etc., which had been hurriedly dropped on the ground.

Passing through the canyon, you can see the sheng flag in the forest in front of you, and it is moving into the distance.

Quickly returning to report, Li Xun pondered: Tang Yu's soldiers and horses were in a panic, and even had to throw away their weapons and armor in order to run faster, and even the most precious military rations and materials were willing to throw away, just fleeing for their lives, it seemed that they were frightened and had no heart to fight!

was overjoyed at the moment, and ordered the whole army to pursue, and Tang Yu could not be allowed to escape.

In fact, the sheng banner displayed in the forest was Tang Yu's detachment of thousands of people to set up a suspicious formation, and then threw all kinds of materials in the valley, making a hasty escape and no intention of fighting. It was to confuse Li Xun and lead him into the valley.

Li Xun was really fooled, and led the cavalry into the canyon quickly, chasing towards him.

When they arrived in the valley, a sudden cannon rang out, and rocks fell overhead, instantly smashing the army.

At the same time, Tang Yu led his troops to kill from the other side.

Li Xun was taken aback by falling rocks, but he quickly stabilized and loudly ordered the team to be reorganized to meet Tang Yu.

The two armies handed over and fought fiercely in the canyon.

The space in the canyon is limited, and even Tang Yu's side can't invest 20,000 soldiers and horses at once, let alone the army led by Li Xun.

The only difference was that Tang Yu arrived early and set up an ambush above the canyon, constantly dropping falling rocks at the enemy.

This took the initiative, and during the fierce battle, the middle and rear sections of Li Xun's soldiers and horses were smashed by falling rocks and were thrown into chaos, and the soldiers outside the valley did not know the situation, but only saw the chaos ahead, as if they had lost a battle.

The morale of the army gradually became chaotic, and Li Xun could not be appeased in the fierce battle, so the situation deteriorated for a while.

In the chaos, deserters gradually appeared, and their companions became frightened, and the scale became larger and larger.

There were even people who cried out loudly, saying that the Lord was going to be killed and had been defeated.

The situation in the rear is unknown, and the impact of chaos is difficult to estimate. This is what he is most afraid of on the battlefield, so although Li Xun has the advantage of troops, he is defeated here.
