The next day, when the sun began to appear, Huang Zhu entangled his subordinates, burned a fire and cooked rice, and prepared to attack Chaisan City.

Huo Jun was fiddling with the sand table of Chaisang City in the camp tent, which was located in the water network area of the mountains and lakes. Although it is not close to the Yangtze River, it is bordered by lakes in the east and west, and only the north-south dry road can be passed. Out of the south gate to take the dry road to Lushan, out of the north gate to the Yangtze River water village.

Therefore, there are not many roads to choose from to attack Chaisang City, and only two land routes can be attacked, north and south. In the case of a one-sided enemy, it is quite difficult to break through the city. If you follow Guan Yu's multi-faceted attack, it will not be easy in general.

However, Chaisang City is not without shortcomings, it is located in the protruding hilly area between the two lakes, the city is narrow, it is difficult to hoard soldiers, which is why Xu Sheng only led 500 troops, even if Jiangxia moved, only 300 troops.

Listening to the drums of the Yellow Shooting Division, Huo Jun planted the small flag symbolizing the Yellow Shooting at the north gate of Chaisang. This is the direction chosen by Huang Jie to attack the city gate, and it is also the most conducive to the deployment of the army.

"Joining the army, General Huang Bi led his troops to attack Chaisang City." Gao Xiang walked into the camp tent and said: "Join the army, let General Huang Bi lead the soldiers to attack Chaisang City, whether it is a big support, our army should suppress the formation." ”

Huo Jun held a small flag symbolizing himself in his hand, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Fenglu thinks that Huang Bi will be difficult to defeat Chaisang?" ”

Gao Xiang bowed slightly, and said worriedly: "Xiang has many contacts with his subordinates, although his subordinates are good at water warfare, but the military discipline is unknown, and the soldiers are difficult to speak of bravery. If it is allowed to storm Chaisang City today, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break the city. And that Xu Sheng is really as brave as he said when he joined the army......"

After a little hesitation, Gao Xiang said: "Huang Bi will be difficult to get down to Chaisang City, and when the siege is withdrawn, I am afraid that Xu Sheng will take the opportunity to cover up and kill." Our army should be overwhelmed by it, lest the great army be defeated. ”

In ancient siege warfare, the defender was not only the one who was beaten, but had the opportunity to strike. For example, when the besieging side withdrew from the siege, the whole army was in a period of transition, the military formation was chaotic, and the defenders would often seize this to fight, and Zhang Liao's battle of Xiaoyaojin was to seize Sun Quan and withdraw the army, leading 800 people to kill; Or at night, the defenders of the city went out of the city to attack the enemy camp at night, which was also an opportunity to seize the lax garrison of the enemy army.

Therefore, Gao Xiang's concern is not unreasonable, if the Yellow Shooting Army meets Xu Sheng with the military discipline of his troops during the transformation period, his fate is estimated to be ugly.

Huo Jun had a smile on his face and said, "And that Xu Sheng really killed, causing General Huang Bi to be defeated, isn't this the opportunity of our army?" ”

As he spoke, Huo Jun planted the small flag in his hand on the Chai Sangxi and South Second Gates on the sand table.

Hearing this, Gao Xiang's face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Do you want to attack when you join the army?" ”

"Exactly!"

Huo Jun pointed to the sand table and said: "Chaisang City is small and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the city is divided into north and south, if the north city is attacked by a strong enemy, Xu Sheng will send soldiers to gather at the north gate to resist the siege army. At that time, the southern city will be empty, and our army will arrange the sergeants of the headquarters at the west and south gates, and when the enemy is slack, they will cross the wall and go up to take the city. If, as Feng Lu said, Xu Sheng took the opportunity to cover up and kill the headquarters of the Huang Bijun Army, it would be a good opportunity for us. ”

Huo Jun, who was in Jiangxia, had already inquired about the terrain of Chaisang City. He had to deadlift Huang Jie to fight Chaisang, either because he took a fancy to his prestige and attracted Xu Sheng's attention to the north of the city, or to attract him out of the city.

People in the inner circle like Liu Bei, Gan Ning, and Huo Du knew that it was Huo Jun's handiwork to command the sailors to shoot Xu Kun and kill Ling Cao, but these people in Jiangdong didn't know.

In Jingzhou's official propaganda, Huang Zu's son Huang Shot, after his father was broken, he commanded the sailors to behead Xu Kun and Ling Cao, and shocked Jiangdong. Coupled with Huang Shot's resume and the majesty of his father Huang Zu, isn't it a proper flower of famous generals!

Famous generals shot, do you see if Xu Sheng dares to underestimate the yellow shot, will he go all out. Once you go all out, isn't this Huo Jun's chance to make a move!

If he agrees with Huang Jie in advance and lets him attract Xu Sheng to fight, it is a question of whether he is willing to fight seriously with his habits. If the acting skills are too poor, it will be exposed, so it is better to put into the performance with real feelings.

Listening to Huo Jun's explanation, Gao Xiang's mouth opened wide, obviously he was shocked. Previously, Huo Jun emphasized in front of everyone many times, saying that he had no choice. But this strategy has been designed a long time ago, not only deceived his subordinates, but also fooled Huang Jie.

Watching Gao Xiang go from dazed to shocked to admired, Huo Jun explained: "As the old saying goes, if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if he is not secret, he will lose his life." The same is true of the Imabari army, if the commander is not secret, the army will be lost, and if the general is not secret, he will be lost. In the future, Feng should be rigorous in administering the army, and should not be rash. ”

Huo Jun sat on the central couch and said in a deep voice: "Raise the tent and give orders to the generals." ”

"No!"

In a few moments, the drums of the gathering generals sounded, and Huo Du, Gao Xiang, Li Wei, Gao Chen, Huo Yuan and others gathered in the military tent.

"How many soldiers are available in the army?" Huo Jun asked.

"Qi Qi joins the army, and 1,300 people from our army headquarters can go to battle with the army." Huo Du replied.

Although Huang Jie and Huo Jun claimed to send 5,000 troops, the actual number was about 5,500. There are 4,200 people in the Yellow Shooting Division, and 1,300 people in Huo Jun's headquarters.

"Good!"

Huo Jun commanded: "Gao Xiang and Li Wei listen to the order. ”

"In!"

Huo Jun took out the military order and commanded: "The West Gate of Chaisang is adjacent to the lake, and the lake is full of reeds. And thou shalt take six hundred men and horses into the lake in small boats, and hide among the reeds, so that the enemy will not discover them. When the drums were beating, the troops came out of the reeds and seized the water gate and its walls to the east. ”

"No!"

Gao Xiang took the military order and gave his hand to answer.

"Where are Huo Du and Gao Chen?"

"In!"

Huo Jun held the military order and said: "The south gate of Chaisang is close to Chaisang Mountain, you and others lead 600 people to hide in the mountains, and they must not be detected by the enemy." When the drums on the east side sound, the two of you will lead your army out and capture the southern city of Chaisang. and then surrendered to Chaisangcheng with Gao Xiang and Li Wei. ”

The name of Chaisang City is derived from the proximity of its city to Chaisang Mountain, so it is named.

"No!" Huo Du took the military order and responded.

Seeing that everyone was ready to go, Huo Jun advised: "Break through Chaisang, immediately enter the official mansion, capture his subordinate officials, block the military treasury materials, and do not take money and grain indiscriminately and kill livestock." When Kechaisang City is located, Jun will distribute money, food and princes. ”

"No!"

"Troops!"

……

Chai Sang, Xu Sheng was already standing on the city tower, clenching his sword, gathering the officers in the city, and said: "According to the scout, most of the enemy has penetrated deep into Peng Lize and attacked the city. The person besieging my Chaisang City today is the general Huang Jie, who in the battle of Jiangxia, commanded the sailors to break off, shot Xu Pingyu, and killed Ling Po thief, which should not be underestimated. ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions were serious and they didn't dare to relax.

Xu Sheng said again: "Although the enemy department has about 5,000 people, six times as many as our department, but the enemy has come from afar, and today the siege of the city has few weapons, so there is no need to be afraid. All of our men are good at bows and crossbows, and the arrows in the city are piled up, and they will surely make the enemy return without success. ”

"No!"

After everyone received the task, they returned to their headquarters, copied out their bows and crossbows, and waited for the arrival of the Yellow Shooting Army on the city tower.

Jiangdong soldiers are good at water warfare, but water fighters often use bows and crossbows, and among these 800 soldiers, the elite are good at using bows and crossbows.

"Boom!"

Outside the city, 4,000 soldiers were already arrayed, and under the order of Huang Xuan, the soldiers under his command marched to the sound of drums.

At the same time, more than a thousand soldiers under Huo Jun's command took advantage of the attention of the sergeants in Chaisang City to be attracted by the Yellow Shooting army and began to detour from a distance.
