Qingyun City is a fief of the Cao family, which has been ruled by the Cao family for decades, and is located in the northeast of Dongjiang Town, almost more than a thousand miles away in a straight line.

Qingyun City is one of the famous cities in the chaotic hills, the city walls are tall and majestic, it has resisted the attacks of the barbarians many times without falling, with a permanent population of more than 500,000 and about 50,000 soldiers.

The city lord Cao Yong is a very ambitious person, who once went to the Xuanguo border army under the protection of the family for a period of time, relying on the power of the family, and got a little military merit, so he successfully took over the position of the city lord after the death of the old city lord more than a year ago.

Cao Yong, who was in power for the first time, changed his previous face of condolences and elegance, and began to install his cronies in Qingyun City, and let him evaporate from the world if he dared to resist him, whether it was his own family or others, and his methods were extremely cruel.

It only took more than half a year for him to completely grasp the military and political power of Tsing Yi City, and there was no voice in the entire Qingyun City that dared to oppose him, that is, because of his purge, several larger families in Qingyun City moved out and gave up the Qingyun station.

Cao Yang, who held all the power of Qingyun, was not satisfied with the area of his territory, and began to expand outward, relying on the strength of the crowd, several unprepared small territories near Qingyun were caught off guard, and they were directly incorporated into the territory of Qingyun City.

However, the sky did not help Cao Yong, just when he was preparing for war and preparing to make persistent efforts, the barbarians invaded, but Cao Yong, who received the news, did not shrink his forces and defend the city, but tried to use his familiarity with the terrain to fight the barbarians in an ambush.

From this point of view, Cao Yong still has merit, at least he still knows the barbarians who took the initiative to resist the invasion.

But the bad thing is that Cao Yong doesn't know about military affairs, although he also spent money in the army, but he didn't learn anything, but he didn't know how to pretend to understand, the few battles he commanded were fought with the private army of some small lords, and they were all won by superior forces, which also created his arrogant character.

After seeing the barbarian, he saw that the barbarian had only come with less than 10,000 cavalry, but he himself had more than 50,000 troops, thinking that he was taking advantage of it again, and without saying a word, he immediately ordered all the troops to rush forward.

According to the experience of fighting with small lords in the past, when you see people several times your own attacking, the army on the opposite side should collapse directly, and you will not resist.

It's a pity that he encountered a ferocious barbarian iron horseman, and he used a relatively stupid way to meet the battle, and turned a good ambush into a frontal attack.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, Cao Yong immediately became a tragedy, more than 50,000 Qingyun City guards were scattered by nearly 10,000 barbarian cavalry in a confrontation, followed by a one-sided slaughter of the barbarians, and when Cao Yong fled back to Qingyun City under the protection of his own guards, he counted the number of people, only to find that there was not one out of ten of the 50,000 army, and there were not even 5,000 people who followed Cao Yong back to Qingyun, which can be described as a heavy loss.

Frightened, Cao Yong ordered the entire Qingyun City to be closed, and it was not opened once during the entire barbarian invasion, and he also repelled several tentative attacks of the barbarians with the solid city walls in the middle.

It wasn't until he received the exact news that the barbarians had all retreated, that Cao Yong opened the gates of Qingyun City, and in order to make up for the losses caused by the barbarians, Cao Yong began to order his subordinates to loot and loot with tens of thousands of newly recruited troops.

Dongjiang Town happened to be one of the targets of this plunder, and the leader of the team was Cao Yang, the commander of the Qingyun City City Guard.

Qingyun City Guard Battalion.

Cao Yang is gathering his subordinates to discuss the matter of dealing with Dongjiang Town.

Suddenly, a very cold voice said: "The soldiers are very fast, Dongjiang Town must not have imagined that we would attack them at this time, and we could catch the other party off guard, as long as the army is in the city, the opponent's army will be shaken, and the city can naturally be broken." ”

This person is Cao Yang's right-hand man, the military advisor Yu Bin, it can be said that Cao Yang was able to become the commander of the city guards, most of which was obtained by his advice.

A middle-aged man who looked like a general frowned and pondered: "Dongjiang Town is not a small territory without a city, they have a city protection, and the information we have is more than half a year ago, we don't know what Linjiang Town will become after changing to a new lord?"

This is a general under Cao Yang, and he is also his own family, called Cao De, with average ability, but after all, he is cautious.

Yu Bin pondered for two seconds and said: "The other party is a 16-year-old boy, no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to change anything in half a year, maybe the current Dongjiang Town has not changed much from half a year ago, and it is not necessarily!"

Cao De opened his mouth and didn't continue, he knew in his heart that no one would listen to him even if he said it, Cao Yang disdained him, Yu Bin treated him well on the surface, but he was a little dissatisfied with him below.

Cao Yang glanced at Cao De with disdain and said: "Well, now we don't have many troops, and we still need to defend various places, this time I will personally lead an army of 10,000 to go out, and the soldiers are fast!"

10,000 troops rushed out from all over the place to assemble in the barracks, noisy, and scolding.

Cao De, Cao Yang, and Yu Bin stood on the high platform and watched the soldiers gather.

Cao De looked at the disorganized soldiers and said with some concern: "Otherwise, it will not be too late to train for a few more days!"

Cao Yang said angrily: "Didn't you hear the speed of the soldiers? What are you chirping crookedly? Training? Training a fart! How many people are there in Dongjiang Town, and our 10,000 people have also crushed him." ”

Yu Bin said coldly: "Our elite troops suffered heavy losses in the last battle, these 10,000 soldiers were originally newly recruited recruits, and there will be no improvement in training. ”

Cao De sighed, what Yu Bin said was good, there is evidence, what else can he say, he can only pray that he thinks more.

In this way, the army of 10,000 hurriedly set off.

Due to the urgency of time, Ye Qing ordered all the soldiers to start arranging their positions after selecting the battlefield, digging a large number of traps on the road.

Simple rejection of horses, up to five meters deep and burying the sharp knife point of the trap, the rolling stones and sassal wood hidden under the jungle on both sides of the valley mouth.

At the same time, the hoplites placed a shield wall behind the trap.

After the training of Linjiang Town's position construction, the Ye soldiers arranged these traps and came to Ye handy, and the speed was very fast.

On the afternoon of the day when Ye Qing had just set up his position, Cao Yang had already arrived with an army of 10,000.

The army of Qingyun City saw the Ye army who was waiting for the battle from a distance, and they didn't expect that the other party would not defend the city, but would come to fight a field battle with themselves.
