On September 26, it was getting dark.

In the wilderness from south to north, 20,000 soldiers and horses from Luyang and Gyeonggi led by Wei general Chen Quan were passing through quickly, and in the east and west directions, scouts were constantly passing back and forth to deliver news.

He had set up a campfire in front of the makeshift camp, and inside the tent he read the message on the note with the help of an oil lamp, and then burned it.

"General Zhao is on the other side's 20,000 Xiliang, and the other party only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the middle battle will inevitably leave people, so the army on the other side's west road is either 5,000, or all of them are stationed in the middle of the battle."

He kept tapping his fingers on the desk, and asked his staff for their opinions.

"The general should be cautious, that King Xia of the Yan Kingdom has experienced battle formations, and the soldiers and generals in his hands have also experienced vicious battles, how can he make the West Road empty? I'm afraid there will be fraud! He said that he had no choice but to set up an ambush on the way, and waited for us to march at full speed. ”

"That King Xia of the Yan Kingdom must stay with soldiers and horses, even if there is an ambush on the west road, there are only a few thousand people, not to mention that I only pick up the fields and roads, even if there is an ambush, our army can respond quickly! However, if you are careful to sail the ship for 10,000 years, it will be inappropriate to lose your troops after all. ”

Chen Quan refuted the staff, but in fact, he chose to listen to the other party's opinions very sincerely. At that moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside, and a scout rode into the gate and jumped off his horse.

"General, engage in battle ahead!"

The note was handed over, Chen Quan glanced at it, frowned and handed it to the staff next to him, who also frowned: "The other party hit once and ran away?" ”

"Suspicious?" Chen Quan handed the note to the oil lamp and burned it, "The Xiliang soldiers also acted like this on General Zhao's side before, constantly changing their positions and harassing them, and now they want to do something heavy about me?" ”

The staff on the side got up and said with a smile: "Then let the soldiers in front set up the array, step by step, the other party has no way to start, this plan is self-defeating." ”

"I believe what Mr. says!"

While he was talking, there was a faint herald outside the tent ordering the cavalry to rush over this way, and then was stopped by the soldiers outside, Chen Quan said: "Let him in." With a wave of his hand, he sent away the scout just now, and the scout who had been stopped outside followed him and walked in, arching his hand: "There is a battalion in the front that has been attacked, but the enemy has been repulsed. ”

"How much did we lose?"

As soon as he connected to the intelligence of the two enemies, Chen Quan's brows furrowed even more, he glanced at his staff, and then continued to ask: "How are the scouts exploring the way ahead?" Can you go to the north? ”

"Back to the general, more than a dozen brothers were killed and seven wounded, and as for the scouts, no one has come back for the time being." The scout replied.

"Probe!"

After sending the scouts away, Chen Quan turned around with his hands in his hands and said to the staff on the side: "Sure enough, what Mr. said, the enemy is suspicious and looking for an opportunity to attack and disturb. ”

"General, at this time, I suspect that the other party is luring the enemy." The staff took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and had some more thoughts in his heart, "The plan of the suspicious soldier may be repeated, but it is like this repeatedly, and if the suspicious soldier is not known, he will lure the enemy to ambush!" ”

"According to what Mr. said so, I think that as I said before, there are only a few thousand people on the other side's west road." Chen Quan pondered for a moment and called the soldiers outside the tent, "Summoning the front formation, if there is another attack, you can try to chase and kill, remember that only one battalion needs to pursue, and the rest will form a formation in place." ”

"Yes!"

The guards left with the general order, and there were no scouts at this time, Chen Quan and the staff said some more words, after the other party said goodbye to the tent, he slept lightly on the simple wooden couch on the side of the tent, just after two o'clock, suddenly a sound of horses' hooves came, Chen Quan was suddenly awakened, hurriedly got up and took the knife, and a scout accompanied the soldiers to the tent.

"General Qiyu, great victory!"

"A big victory? What a big victory? ”

When Chen Quan heard this, the whole person was stunned, he hadn't done anything, and there was a big victory, whoever he replaced, everyone had to be confused, at this time, the staff of the tent next door was wearing single clothes and running barefoot.

"What's wrong?"

The scout hurriedly said to the two of them: "When we met the enemy in the front battle, we must obey the general's orders, and there was a battalion of brothers who chased and killed the opponent's flag, and even chased and killed the opponent's station, and burned their camp, and the enemy army shot arrows and called for reinforcements, and our brothers also rose up and shot arrows, and the rest of the brothers stationed there rushed to that side and defeated the enemy army." ”

"How many soldiers and horses are there on the other side? The brothers from the front came in the foreground, and the number was roughly five thousand. ”

"Hehe, good!"

Hearing this number, Chen Quan slapped his thigh suddenly, this is exactly what he estimated in his heart, there are only so many enemy troops on the west road, after all, the king of Xia must have a little manpower left around to guard the middle battle, so 20,000 Xiliang soldiers were besieged by Zhao Guiyan, and he attacked 5,000 on the west road with 20,000, when he could drive straight in, rescue Chen Dujun, and take the opponent's riverbank camp directly!

"General, be careful!"

The staff came over to persuade, but Chen Quan raised his hand to interrupt the words, "It's good for Mr. to be cautious, but it's wrong to be too cautious, but don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to press the back formation!" ”

Immediately, his voice was raised, "Someone! ”

The soldiers outside the tent came, and the two of them arched their hands at the tent: "Here!" ”

"Order Chen Zao, the captain of the supervising battalion, to lead 2,000 troops to reinforce the front! In addition, all the soldiers in the battalion, wearing armor and pillow knives, be careful of the enemy's detour to attack our camp! ”

When the staff heard the last sentence, they finally calmed down, and the 8,000 people were on guard, even if the camp was attacked, it would not cause much damage.

Walking out of the camp tent, he looked at the night in the north, there was a faint red light at the end of the sky, at this time the Yan State military camp standing behind the mountain was burning, a group of Wei soldiers and horses were killing into the mountain, and the Yan army in front of the rout started a fight, the sword and soldiers collided, and the screams sounded somewhere in the mountain from time to time.

And out of sight, a pair of eyes, even several pairs of eyes, were staring at them above a nearby hill.

The sound of the fight was faintly transmitted through the night, the mountain breeze blew the short beard and hair, and the robe outside the armor was stroked in the wind, Guo Jia twisted the tip of the beard, closed his eyes and listened to the fight below extending to this side, while thinking about something, for a moment, he took out the map and looked at it, and summoned the herald: "It's almost, and send another message to Zhao Yun and the king, Jia Yi burned half of the enemy, whether he can do his best depends on the king and General Zilong." ”

"Yes!" Ordered the horse to gallop down the hills.

Guo Jia put his hands behind his back, looked at the woods below with a slight bow, and his voice was cold: "Draw the bow!" Send these people a ride, so that the Wei army can have a long memory, what is a military strategy! ”

A soldier stepped forward and blew the horn—

Woo~~Woo~~

In the field of vision, between the hills four or five miles below, an orange-red fire suddenly spread, and the trees doused with tung oil quickly burned a fire dragon between the hills and forests, drawing a dazzling arc.

In the other direction, there was also a burning light that quickly closed the place into the mountain, cutting off the retreat of the pursuing Wei army's middle and rear teams, and surrounded them in the middle.

Faintly, countless screams came from the woods five miles away.

The fire rose in the mountain wind, burning bigger and bigger, and a group of Youyan soldiers who fled to the mountains were only a hundred or two hundred zhang away from the hills here, and they either helped to find their comrades who had escaped, or stood on the mountainside, staring blankly at the fire.

I couldn't help but subconsciously look at the figure standing on the cliff, the fire shone on the short-bearded and handsome face, Guo Jia's eyes were cold, his body stood tall and tall on the edge of the cliff, his eyes reflected the fire in the forest, and the robe attached to the armor moved slightly with the mountain wind, but there was the demeanor of a Confucian general.

The suspicious soldiers are suspicious, lure the enemy deeper, and take advantage of the situation to attack in one go, and now they are taking advantage of the fire to rob.

"Jia's business has been done, it's the turn of the king and Zhao Yun."

In his eyes, in the fire that had been burned, the smoke was billowing out, the forest was orange-red, the branches were burning, and the leaves dragged the flames down like a rain of fire.
