After killing out of the valley, Wang Xian suddenly felt a little scared in his heart.

Du Fusang hurriedly said with relief: "Since ancient times, victory and defeat have been commonplace, and although our army lost more than 10,000 people in this battle, it also killed the general of Northern Qin, and the general does not have to blame himself." ”

Listening to Du Fusang's relief, Wang Xian said instead: "If it weren't for the small number of people in Northern Qin, if there were even 10,000 people, we would definitely be in a dilemma." With such a use of troops, I don't know who the local commander is? How dare you ambush my tens of thousands of troops with these horses. ”

The two sides walked and chatted, and after a short time, they were out of the valley.

Seeing that Du Jiong's soldiers and horses were already outside, Wang Xianfang breathed a sigh of relief.

The two sides combined, sent 70,000 troops, and lost nearly 10,000.

Wang Xianzheng wanted to repair for a day, and then attacked Xiangyang.

However, this move was opposed by Du Fusang, Du Fusang analyzed: "If the number of thieves is abundant, they will definitely not use this person to ambush, if yesterday's move is clearly to delay the time for our army to attack Xiangyang, in my humble opinion, the general should not repair at this time, and should directly attack Xiangyang." ”

Although Wang Xian thought deeply of this, he still felt very inappropriate when he saw the tired soldiers.

"Although what Mr. said is not unreasonable, but at this time, people are sleepy and lacking, and the chance of storming Xiangyang is not great."

But Du Fusang rarely insisted on his own opinion, and said logically: "General Wang, if the Northern Qin army arrives, the inside and the outside should be combined, our army will be defeated, and the only way to do this is to take advantage of the arrival of the Northern Qin army and send troops to Xiangyang quickly, I expect that the Northern Qin army will not expect that we will directly attack, and there will be no defense at this time." ”

After Wang Xian struggled for a long time, he finally decided to send troops to attack Xiangyang directly.

Wang Xian sent the generals and told him his intentions. Sure enough, all the generals objected, but at this moment, Wang Xian couldn't care so much, and said: "Don't hesitate, everyone, today's ambush is the Northern Qin army, which means that Xiangyang has made contact with Northern Qin, and when the Northern Qin army in Wancheng arrives, it will be difficult for our troops to conquer Xiangyang." ”

Then Wang Xian pointed in the direction of Xiangyang and said: "The army will rebel immediately, and attack the city immediately after eating." When Xiangyang is captured, the general will naturally ask for rewards for the soldiers. ”

Everyone did not dare to hesitate, and they took the order to leave.

At this time, in Xiangyang City, Yuan Yi sat on the lower seat, and above the main seat was Yu Wenzhi.

Sima Linhai didn't expect that Yuwenzhi would choose to enter the city to hold on, so he hurriedly said: "How can the general easily enter the city, now the city is more dangerous than the outside." ”

Yu Wenzhi said: "Sima Gong doesn't need to worry, I am free to arrange." Now there are less than 10,000 soldiers in Xiangyang City, it is difficult to hold on, and there are still 5,000 people in my headquarters, which is enough to hold Xiangyang for one day. ”

Then Yuwenzhi looked at Yuan Yi and said: "Hard work Lord Yuan, strengthen the city defense, yesterday I attacked the Southern Qi army at night, and found that Wang Xian's troops advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and they were elite, and I have sent the elite of my headquarters to help defend Xiangyang." ”

Hearing that Yu Wenzhi had the intention of despising himself in and out of his words, although Yuan Yi was unhappy in his heart, the situation was stronger than others, and he could not afford not to bow his head at this moment.

Therefore, Yuan Yi had to keep nodding yes, and then Yuan Yi added: "I don't know when the army will come to help?" Don't hide it from the general, most of the soldiers in Xiangyang are new soldiers, and it may be difficult to fight viciously. ”

"Reinforcements will arrive tomorrow at the latest, just hold on to today."

Hearing Yu Wenzhi's reply, Yuan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, one day was still enough to hold on.

Just as everyone was discussing, suddenly the soldiers came to report that Wang Xian's army had begun to attack the city.

As soon as these words came out, even Yu Wenzhi was taken aback: "Wang Xian uses soldiers like this, is it really iron-beaten soldiers?" ”

Even Yuwenzhi's soldiers were tired, not to mention the Southern Qi soldiers who had been fighting in fear all night, Yuwenzhi never thought that the Southern Qi army would attack the city directly, so he hurriedly said: "I will guard the east gate, Lord Yuan will guard the north gate, and General Sima will guard the west gate. ”

Then Yuwenzhi rushed to the top of the city tower and saw that Wang Xian's army had begun to forcibly attack the city, with a large number of people, covering the sky and the sun.

But after observing for a long time, Yu Wenzhi suddenly burst out laughing, because he found that although Wang Xian's troops were numerous, they did not have enough siege equipment, and they were almost useless except for their strong momentum.

Wang Xian also discovered this problem, and when he was in the middle of the Chinese army, he said to Du Fusang: "Mr. Du, our army is lightly armed, only equipment, only simple ladders, I'm afraid it will be difficult to overcome." ”

Du Fusang also had a headache at this time, and wanted to take it by surprise, but he didn't expect that although the soldiers defending the city were flustered, they were obviously prepared.

After storming the city for a morning and leaving thousands of corpses behind, Wang Xian reluctantly ordered his army to stop the siege.

Wang Xian, Chen Kang and others discussed in the camp, but there was no good way.

At this time, Du Fusang suddenly said: "I watch the defense of Xiangyang, and it is quite moderate. The person in command must not be Yuan Yi, even if he temporarily builds siege equipment, it will be too late in time. Since we can't storm it, we have to retreat to Yiyang first. ”

Seeing that Du Fusang decided to withdraw the army and the army returned in vain, Du Jiong said at this time: "Since Xiangyang City cannot be conquered, wouldn't I have no shame to face King Qin and His Majesty when I return to Yiyang like this?" ”

Du Fusang said in surprise at this time: "Could it be that General Du has other methods?" ”

Du Jiong sneered, then pointed to a valley on the map, and said: "The Northern Qin army will definitely rush to help, since there is no hope of conquering Xiangyang, we might as well ambush the Northern Qin reinforcements here, even if we finally let the Northern Qin and Xiangyang join forces, we will not be without size." Besides, with the other way to give back to the other, the Northern Qin ambushed us in the valley, how can we not return the salute? ”

Du Fusang then looked at the map, suddenly slapped his thigh, and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, if we can force back the Northern Qin reinforcements, Xiangyang City will definitely be panicked, even if we can't completely force back the Northern Qin, we can win a big victory." ”

Yuwen was above the city at this time, looking at the Southern Qi army that was dead, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But then Yuwen woke up violently, and hurriedly asked the adjutant general: "Where did the reinforcements come?" ”

Seeing the direction of the adjutant general's finger, Yuwen said hurriedly: "It is extremely easy to set up an ambush here, and the army must be kept at a distance and respond to each other, and you can't be in a hurry." ”

But although Yu Wenzhi thought of this, he didn't tell Yu Wenji in advance.

At this time, Yuwen Zhi intended to let people go outside the city to report the news, but suddenly he saw that the Southern Qi army moved collectively and surrounded Xiangyang City, and Xiangyang City was suddenly impassable.

Yuwen said at this time: "Sure enough, the thief army ambushed our army, so they besieged this city first and cut off the exchange of news. ”

Yu Wenzhi then hurriedly found Yuan Yi and asked, "Is there a trail here where I can get out of the city?" ”

Yuan Yi said: "There is no path out of the city, what does the general want?" ”

Yu Wenzhi then expressed his worries, Yuan Yi thought for a moment, and then replied: "You can order the soldiers to go out of the city at night, there is a path outside the city that leads to Wancheng, and the Song general's surprise attack on Wancheng in the past is this way, and the end general is quite reflective." ”

Yu Wenzhi then calculated the time, nodded helplessly, and said, "That's it." ”
