Kuramatsu Castle.

Shi Min commanded 100,000 troops and horses, and then rushed straight to this city with great momentum.

The Zhao army wanted to attack Guzang, and the two cities of Cangsong and Lixuan bore the brunt, and a battle was inevitable.

Although the Zhao army could bypass these cities and attack Guzang directly, the risk of doing so was extremely high. The city cannot be attacked for a long time, and it is possible to be surrounded by a detour. It is possible to go deep alone, the city is still the enemy's, and the detour will not become the enemy's back, and the enemy will come to a double-sided attack or counter-encirclement, which is self-defeating!

In ancient times, the most tragic thing was the siege war, so the siege battle could be avoided.

The risk of going around the city is large, one is the long distance, the enemy can spend time to understand the military situation and make a counter-encirclement strategy, the other is economic, capture a particularly important city, the strategic significance is comparable to the capture of other unimportant cities several times, the battle line is not elongated, easy to manage, advance and retreat freely, not passive, concentrate a little to make supplies, save money.

Bypassing the city is equivalent to cutting off one's own supply lines. If you bypass the city during the war, aside from the waste of manpower, material resources and time, the battle line will be lengthened first, and your supply will not be guaranteed.

Even if you have no problem with these, then what should you do with the bypassed cities that harass you from time to time and cut off your back road?

Of course, throughout the ages, there have been many examples of attacking around the city.

For example, when the northern ethnic minorities went south to plunder, they bypassed the city. So why were the northern nomads able to bypass the city? This is because they are all cavalry, have strong mobility, and are supplied on the spot, so they are not afraid of being caught by the defenders.

But even then, they need to leave relatively quickly, because they have not captured the city, once the defenders react, they will connect the city into a network to defend, and if they close the door and fight the dogs, these cavalry will be more than lucky.

"This is Kuramatsu Castle." Shi Min looked up at the head of Cangsong Castle in the distance, squinting his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

He was now on a hillside, sitting on horseback.

At this time, a small school flew over.

"Report! General, the enemy is out of the city to meet the battle! ”

"What?"

When the generals heard this, they all changed color, and even Shi Min, who had never changed his face, couldn't help but be a little moved and a little confused at this moment.

It's good, why did the Liang army suddenly go out of the city to face the battle? Could it be that the main force of the Liang army is here? But even so, how sure is Zhang Jun that he can win the battle?

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. Shi Min knew this very well, so he had done some intelligence work before the war, as far as he knew, now Guzang and its vicinity did not exceed 60,000 troops, and most of them were tired soldiers, why fight?

"Who is the commander of the Liang Army?"

"Protector General Suo Chao!"

"Suo Chao......" Shi Min didn't know this person, and he thought that he should be a rising star among the generals of Liangguo.

"General, what should we do now?" Shi Jian asked out loud.

"Let the people from the Hanging Mirror Division collect information about Suo Chao."

Shi Min waved his hand and said: "Pass the order, the whole army will surround Cangsong City, break the barracks, Xuanjia cavalry and 30,000 elite troops of all armies, and follow me to Dongyangmen to fight with the enemy." ”

At this time, Shi Min did not lack the courage to fight. It's okay to be cautious, but to be too cautious is to be timid.

Soon, Shi Min took 30,000 horses and horses to set up a posture at the Dongyang Gate of Cangsong City, and the whole army was divided into six phalanxes, one phalanx of 5,000 people, coordinated left and right, and matched with foot and horse.

The battle formation that the Zhao army was accustomed to, that is, the cavalry in front, the shield bearer followed, and then the foot soldier, all kinds of pikemen, samurai, sword and axe hands, etc., all stood one by one, standing there like a pine, except for the dull sound of the cowhide war drum, there was no noise on the entire battlefield.

Flags fluttering, spears like a forest.

Looking at Zhao Jun's strict formation, Suo Chao did not hesitate at all, and directly carried a halberd and slapped the horse.

"Can General Zhao Guo Shi Min be here?"

Shi Min didn't answer, nor did he send someone back, but gestured to Wentai beside him with his eyes.

Wen Tai comprehended, and then slapped the horse out of the battle, waving the hundred birds in his hand and saying to the phoenix spear: "Ah! Thief! How noble is my general, how can you be a nameless person, you can see Huangkou Xiaoer if you want to see it?! ”

Hearing this, Suo Chao couldn't help but be furious!

"Humph! What kind of great man is he Shi Min? IMHO! Shi Min, you traitor who has forgotten his ancestors and doesn't know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are! Everybody gets it! ”

Suo Chao spewed out all the insults he would have.

"I miss your ancestors, generations of tooth generals, for the Han generals! What a heroic man your grandfather Ran Long was, and the name of the beggar army was powerful all over the world! I didn't think of your father Shi Zhan's generation, so he recognized the thief as his father, and served his father's killer as his father! Still working for it! Shi Min! You are as despicable and shameless as your father Shi Zhan, unfaithful, unfilial, unfaithful, unjust! ”

"Selling your life for the people and killing Han'er is disloyalty! Recognizing Shihu as a father and abandoning the spirit of the ancestors is for unfilial piety! It is unbelief! It is an injustice for the arsonists to burn, kill and loot the unarmed people in the locality! Such a disloyal, unfilial, unrighteous person, what face do you have to be born in the world?! ”

Hearing this, the generals around Shi Min couldn't help but change color.

scolded these words, and even they felt endless anger for Shi Min. If it were any one of them, if he was scolded for being like such a bloody sprinkler, he would definitely be furious, and he couldn't wait to screw off this Suo Chao's head and kick it as a ball!

But, Shi Min is Shi Min after all.

Shi Min's heart was very angry, very resentful, but helpless, because Suo Chao's words were like sharp silver needles, piercing his Shi Min's heart!

Fortunately, Shi Min controlled his emotions and swallowed his anger for the time being. Don't look at Shi Min's indifferent face, in fact, as long as you look closely, you can see that his arm holding the reins is trembling slightly-he is all angry!

I wanted to humiliate Suo Chao, but I didn't expect to be humiliated by him!

As the saying goes, the lord humiliates the minister to death.

Suo Chao humiliated and ridiculed Shi Min so much, Wen Tai was also very angry, and he shot out a hundred birds and said to the phoenix: "Thief! Hugh wants to rap! Look how your grandfather Wentai takes you! ”

With that, Wen Tai rushed out with a gun and a horse.

"It's good to come!"

Fighting general Suo Chao is not cowardly at all, after all, he was a Yulin Lang general in Zhang Jun's palace back then, and without two brushes, he can't be a position similar to a personal bodyguard!

At that time, Suo Chao was able to stand out, largely because of his bravery!

"Bell!"

Suo Chao used a black gold spear, which shone brightly in the sunlight, but it was sharper. The moment the gun collided with the spear, a violent spark was generated.

"Jingle bell! ……”

After the first round, Suo Chao and Wen Tai turned their horses' heads again and rushed towards each other at the same moment.

There was a dazzling exchange, both of them were brave and good at fighting, good at using long weapons, and they were quite accomplished in guns.

About ten rounds later, Wentai made a false shot and sold a flaw, but Suo Chao was not fooled at all, and stabbed him in front of him.
