Fang Ling Zhengse said: "General Bai and General Wei each dispatched 5,000 soldiers and horses from the two cities of Huishan and Hepingqiao to assemble ten miles outside Huishan City, and at the same time, General Zheng and General Wu transferred 5,000 men and horses from each of the two cities of Luquan and Shanghu to rush to the assembly place to form a force of 20,000 horses. The next day, 10,000 of the king's 20,000 horses will enter Aotsuka Castle, while the other 10,000 horses will rush back to Yamajo. The spies will mistakenly think that the men and horses of the second city have arrived, and Zhu Yanding will never give up such a good opportunity, and will definitely attack Huishan City before Gu Ziyun attacks! When the time comes, General Bai will lead 5,000 men to garrison Huishan City, and the other three generals will lead 20,000 horses outside the city to attack on the left side, and this king will lead 10,000 horses to attack on the right side, eating up Zhu Yanding's 70,000 horses!"

Although there is still a quantitative gap between 35,000 and 70,000, everyone is an ambush party, familiar with the other party's strategy, and the other party is good at attacking with multiple people, so they can break each one, so they naturally have an advantage and a great chance of winning.

Next, Fang Ling began to lay out the battle plan in detail, and the generals only left after receiving orders.

On the same day, a news spread on the border of Dingzhou that the king of Shicheng forcibly ordered Huishan City and Pingqiao City to transfer 5,000 men and horses to Qingzuka City in order to protect Qingzuka City.

This move obviously put Qingzuka Castle in an important position, and made Huishan Castle and Pingqiao Castle an easy target for the enemy, which at a rough glance does not fit the strategy of the military and does not make sense.

However, as long as those who know a little bit of the inside story know the helplessness of the King of Shicheng, the four major wang clans have been fighting with each other for twenty years, and the grievances and disputes are well known, so Fang Ling cannot bring all the five towns under his command.

At the same time, in the face of the army of the western general Zhu Yanding and the northern general Gu Ziyun, the pressure on the five towns is not small, since they cannot unite to resist the enemy, then defeat is a matter of course.

In the case of a certain defeat, as the king of Shicheng, of course, he must first ensure his own safety, so it is natural to mobilize the troops of the surrounding two towns.

For a time, the folk rumors were full of news that the border of Dingzhou was not guaranteed, and a large number of people fled from the surrounding areas of the five towns, but few people knew that a big net had been cast, waiting for the appearance of the fish.

Just after the 10,000 Shicheng men and horses dispatched by Fang Ling entered Qingzuka City, Zhu Yanding's 70,000 army finally had an obvious movement, these 70,000 troops were scattered on the opposite side of the four major towns, dozens of miles away, and in one night's work, the 70,000 troops divided into several roads had gathered together, and then advanced towards Huishan City at high speed.

The next morning, Zhu Yanding's vanguard had already arrived outside Huishan City, and at the same time, the follow-up troops came one after another, densely lined up ten miles outside the city, and in the afternoon, the last group of troops led by Zhu Yanding finally arrived.

Zhu Yanding, who is nearly fifty years old, wears armor and a war knife at his waist, looking majestic, unlike Gu Shaofeng, who can only talk on paper, although Zhu Yanding is also from a famous family, he joined the army in his teens and arrived at the eastern border of the country as a soldier, and has made a lot of military achievements on the border.
