In the south of the camp of the Youyan coalition army, a group of men and horses suddenly came, this force had a large number of troops, more than 100,000 people, playing the banner of the Jin State, and the military flag in the center had a big Lu character.

This large army is none other than the Third Army led by Lu Kai.

The mission of the Third Legion was originally to stay in the Wood Country to prevent the resistance of the Wood People, but during this time, the Wood Country was quite stable, and the Third Army was not needed at all.

Lu Kai can imagine that with Jiangyang's troops, the pressure will inevitably be extremely great to withstand the onslaught of the main force of the You Yan coalition army, and all he can do now is to contain the enemy from the rear, so that the enemy army cannot devote all his strength to attacking Jiangyang.

With this in mind, Lu Kaicai led the Third Army to the north to attack the camp of the Youyan coalition army.

The third army of the siege on the first day did not catch up, they traveled day and night, and finally caught up with the strong attack of the You Yan coalition army on the second day. At this time, You Yan's military camp was already extremely empty, and all the available soldiers had been sent to the battlefield, but Lu Kai did not dare to rush deeper, and ordered the entire army to shoot rockets inside outside the enemy camp to probe the reality of the enemy camp.

The soldiers of the 3rd Legion, armed with bows and arrows, lined up in a neat phalanx, wrapped in oilcloth around the arrows, lit them, and shot them into the enemy camp.

For a while, the Third Legion fired thousands of arrows in unison, flying into the camp of the You Yan coalition army like a rain of fire.

The climate of the Jin country was cold and dry, and the camp tents made of cotton cloth and leather could be said to be sticky fire, and the Third Army stood outside the camp and fired rockets, which only instantly set the southern camp of the You Yan coalition army on fire, and hundreds of military tents were ignited by rockets, and the smoke went straight into the sky.

The camp suddenly caught fire, which made the You Yan coalition army, which was at its peak in morale, dumbfounded all of a sudden, including Ren Tianxing.

Soon, the soldiers in the camp who came to report the news hurried to Ren Tianxing. turned over and dismounted, and said urgently: "General, the big thing is not good, the rear of our army's barracks is attacked by the enemy!"

Ren Tianxing gasped when he heard this, and his head buzzed at the same time. He was stunned for a moment. He asked, "How many enemy troops are there?"

"It is not clear, according to the brother of the Nanying report, the enemy army has many horses, at least more than 100,000, and the soldiers guarding the Nanying cannot resist. ”

Alas, Ren Tianxing subconsciously clenched his fists, and sighed faintly in his heart, the enemy army did not come sooner or later, but he came to the most critical time for his own siege. No matter how much Ren Tianxing thinks, he will fight Jinyang in one go. But the battalion could not help it, and he assigned his deputy marshal Jin Zhuo to lead 200,000 soldiers back to the camp immediately to defeat the invading enemy.

The 200,000 troops he dispatched were all soldiers who were preparing to go to the battlefield as the second group of siege teams, and transferring them away actually had no impact on the current siege intensity of the You Yan coalition army, but. However, it weakened the momentum of the Chinese army all of a sudden, and it directly affected the morale of the soldiers fighting at the front.

A fire broke out in your own camp. The Chinese army suddenly became empty again, and the You Yan coalition army that was besieging the city was also bottomless, and people no longer wanted to charge like they did just now, but they were worried, and many soldiers still looked back from time to time.

It can be said that the sudden appearance of the Third Army completely disrupted the rhythm of the siege of the You Yan coalition army. also made Ren Tianxing, who was originally in control, extremely depressed.

The fire in the battalion became more and more intense, and the morale of the You Yan coalition army became more and more chaotic, and the people looked ahead and backwards, losing the momentum to fight and rush, and the intensity of the attack decreased sharply. On the contrary, the morale of the Jin army began to be reminded. When people saw the thick smoke billowing from the enemy camp, they knew that it must be the enemy camp that caught fire, and although they did not know for what reason, one thing was certain: as long as they held back the enemy for a while and a half, the enemy army would retreat.

The soldiers of the Jin Army saw a glimmer of hope from despair, and gave full play to the potential in their bodies, desperately striking at the enemy troops besieging the city.

The morale of the siege troops of the You Yan coalition army was completely suppressed by the Jin army, and the dead and wounded began to rise in a straight line.

Ren Tianxing, who was sitting in the Chinese army watching the battle, saw it clearly, and already knew in his heart that he could not fight again today, even if he fought forcibly, he was afraid that it would be difficult to make progress, and it would only increase the casualties of his own soldiers. In desperation, Ren Tianxing gave the order, the whole army retreated, suspended the siege, turned the edge, and went all out to fight back against the enemy who stole the camp.

Seeing that the Youyan coalition army had given up the siege and the whole army retreated to the rescue camp, Lu Kai did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat and return to Changyu County.

How could the angry You Yan coalition army let them go, and the brigades of the two armies then covered up and killed.

However, the Third Army did not penetrate deep into the enemy camp, and retreated quickly, and under the command of Lu Kai, the rear of the whole army changed to the front and retreated in an orderly manner.

The horse team of the You Yan coalition army was the first to chase out of the camp, thinking that they could use the impact of the cavalry to disperse the Jin army, but they were met with head-on fire by the third legion.

The bow and arrow are a sharp weapon to restrain the cavalry, and the third army is good at archery, and they take the initiative to retreat, not defeated, and release the arrow array in a very short time, so that the chasing You Yan cavalry suffered greatly, and thousands of horses rushed in front of them to be nailed into hedgehogs by the dense arrow array.

You Yan's cavalry was shocked, under the dense and fierce arrow array, where did they dare to rush hard, turned their horses' heads one after another, and retreated to the camp.

The enemy's cavalry retreated, and the Third Army was no longer under pressure, and the army quickly and unhurriedly returned to Changyu County.

The Third Army came and went quickly, and did not have a head-to-head confrontation with the main force of the You Yan coalition army, but the role they played was extremely crucial, directly solving the danger of Jiangyang, and making the You Yan coalition army's inevitable siege return again in vain.

After two consecutive days of fierce attacks by the Youyan coalition army, the Fifth Army Corps stationed in Jiangyang suffered heavy casualties, from nearly 100,000 troops to more than 30,000, of course, the casualties of the Youyan coalition army were much greater than those of the Fifth Army, but the strength of the Youyan coalition army was also much more than that of the Fifth Army, even if the number of casualties had exceeded 100,000, it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the whole army.

The battle to defend the city was like this, and even Chu Lianyu began to lack confidence, and privately persuaded Lin Haotian to abandon Jiangyang, go north to join the Fourth Army, recapture Ningding, and then compete with the enemy.

Lin Haotian also wanted to retreat, and when the battle reached this level, he didn't want to fight anymore, but the risk of retreating at this time was too great.

Now there are tens of thousands of You troops stationed in Ningdingli, if the attack is smooth, it is good to say that it can be beaten down in one go, in case the attack is blocked, the main force of the You Yan coalition army behind will chase and kill again, and there will be no place to run if your own army wants to, and there is a danger of annihilation. At present, Lin Haotian can only grit his teeth and hold on to Jiangyang, even if he withdraws, he has to wait until the Fourth Army and the local army have joined forces to defeat Ningding, and he has a real way to retreat, before he can withdraw from Jiangyang.

Lin Haotian did not accept Chu Lianyu's opinion and decided to continue to defend Jiangyang.

In the next few days, as long as the You Yan coalition army attacked the city, the Third Army Corps, which heard the news, would rush over from Changyu County and attack the camp of the You Yan coalition army.

Lu Kai is very good at using troops and is also very cautious, every time he attacks the enemy camp, he will not rush deep, only shoot arrows and set fire to the edge of the enemy camp, once he sees the main force of the enemy army returning to the camp, he immediately leads the army to retreat to Changyu County. His tactics are like a piece of gummy candy, sticking you to death, no matter how hard you try, you just can't remove it.

The You Yan coalition army was annoyed by the harassment tactics of the Third Legion, but the latter was too cunning to seize the opportunity to engage him head-on, and the You Yan coalition army attacked the city several times, but the result ended in returning to the camp to save itself.

At this time, Lian Ren Tianxing had a headache for this Jin army, and sent someone to investigate carefully before he realized that the commander of this Jin army was named Lu Kai, who had just taken over the Third Army.

Ren Tianxing is very clever, and he is keenly aware that there may be an opportunity to take advantage of it.

He sent a well-spoken advisor of the Yan Kingdom to Changyu County to persuade Lu Kai to lure him to join the Yan Kingdom and fight for gold together.

After entering Changyu County, this Yan State strategist successfully found the location of the Third Legion, and also successfully met Lu Kai.

In front of Lu Kai, this planner can be described as a river of words, dancing with his hands, laying out facts, reasoning, moving with emotion, knowing with reason, and trying to persuade Lu Kai with all his skills.

Lu Kai didn't interrupt him, listened silently, muttered silently, and finally waited for the great truth of the Yan State Strategist to come to an end, Lu Kai asked with a smile: "That's what Your Excellency wants to say?"

The strategist of the Yan Kingdom nodded his head and said: "Since General Lu Kai is so good at using soldiers, he must also be a hero among the people, and he should be able to see that now that the general trend of the Jin Kingdom has gone, it is the right way to get out as soon as possible, if he continues to defend the Jin Kingdom, General Lu Kai and many soldiers under his command will probably die without a place to be buried!"

His words were half exhortation, half threatening. (To be continued......)
