After sending the middle-aged eunuch away, Zhu Wang summoned the two deputy generals to the tent, and the three of them sat in front of the sand table, Zhu Wang said in a deep voice: "There is news from Beijing, Your Majesty has an order, ordering me to break through the Hundred Divisions City within ten days, do you have a good plan?" ”

Deputy General Jiang Zongbao clasped his fists and said: "As a border area, the Hundred Divisions City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the number of defenders in the city is not yet known. Now there are a total of ten heavy catapults in our army, if the whole army attacks, with the catapult with the infantry army to climb the city, and at the same time with a giant wood to hit the city gate, as long as you can open a hole in the city tower, the army can penetrate through, then the two armies will fight with real knives and guns, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer. ”

Zhu Wang nodded: "What Zong Bao said is good, in terms of arranging troops, Ben Jiang thinks that he is far inferior to Baili Jin, but he can really fight with knives and guns in close combat, Ben General firmly believes that my Liang soldiers are not inferior to anyone in blood, as long as they break through the city gate and enter the Hundred Divisions City, even if they can't annihilate the Yan army in one fell swoop, as long as they can drag Wei Qing's army to help, our chances of victory will be greater." ”

Another lieutenant general, Tu Meng, hesitated and said: "General, although we have Wei Qing's 120,000 troops rushing to help as a follow-up, it will still take ten days to arrive. Besides, Yan and Chu have always been good friends, if Sikong hears the wind and intervenes in this battle, then won't our army have to suffer from the enemy on its back and fall into the enemy's encirclement? ”

Zhu Wang sighed: "Vice General Tu is reasonable, this is also the concern of this general. But since it has been determined, my Liang reinforcements will arrive in ten days, and I will believe that with the temperament of Baili Jin, I will naturally not take my defeated generals in my eyes, and deal with us with conceit, relying only on the defenders in the city, and will not ask for reinforcements until the critical moment, so that our army will have an opportunity, as for Sikong Li, we can only hope that he will not look down on this small fish of our department, and choose not to move. You remember, if you really encounter an ambush, you can't mess with your own formation, just retreat in formation, after all, thirty miles south of here, is the Yongzhou Golden Wolf City, as long as we can retreat to the city, we can naturally delay until Wei Qing arrives. Pass my general order, the army rested, take turns to guard, in case the Yan army sneak attack, five days later, the army will attack the city with all its might! ”

When the night moon was dark and the wind was high, and the ugly time had not arrived, Yang Yi, the defender of Liang State, looked at the city of Baishi not far away, and saw that the city tower was black and pressing, like a behemoth, and said to Zhao Sheng, who was on duty at night: "Old Zhao, do you say that Yan Guo really dares to send troops to attack our army camp?" ”

Zhao Shengwen said angrily: "I can't say for sure, but I feel that the general has 100,000 horses here, and no matter how bold Yan Guo's Baili Jin is, he doesn't dare to send someone over to send him to death." ”

Yang Yi spat and scolded: "His grandmother's is so bad that Lao Tzu has to keep vigil at night, and he can't sleep peacefully, it's really unlucky!" ”

As soon as Zhao Sheng wanted to say something to stop it, there was a sound of breaking wind in the dark night, and a feather arrow shot out from the shadows, directly piercing Yang Yi's chest, and the latter didn't have time to speak, so he fell in a pool of blood, and he couldn't die anymore. Zhao Sheng was shocked, and before he could say anything to remind him, another arrow hit him directly in the head, killing him on the spot!

In the distance, the horses' hooves were bursting, the dust was flying, Jiang Daohua personally led the troops, led 5,000 elite cavalry, and killed from the side gate of the Hundred Divisions City. At this moment, it was late at night, most of the Liang army was still asleep, and the Yan cavalry was a surprise attack, so the Liang army had no time to react and had no power to resist. After the sneak attack was successful, Jiang Daohua was not greedy for merit, raised a torch and threw it at the Liang army's granary, which instantly ignited a raging fire.

Jiang Daohua gave an order: "Brothers, withdraw!" "Yan Guojing rode back and forth like the wind, returned to the Hundred Divisions City safely, and after counting the number of people, except for more than 100 people who were slightly injured, no one in the whole army was killed! And the 100,000 army of the Liang State, in the face of the surprise attack of the Yan State of 5,000 men and horses, not only killed and wounded more than 1,000, but the grain and grass of the army were burned three or four out of ten. Zhu Wang rushed over from the military tent, and when he saw this scene, the thunder was furious! ordered the beheading of the night guards that day, and at the same time sent additional manpower to prevent the Yan army from attacking again.

Yan Junqi was victorious, Jiang Daohua was not complacent, Baili Jin looked at this dusty general, both distressed and gratified, and praised: "Well done!" But this raid is far from hurting Liang Gou, tomorrow at the same time, you will lead another 5,000 men and horses, continue the sneak attack, you have worked hard tonight, go down and rest first. ”

Jiang Daohua said suspiciously: "If the sneak attack is successful tonight, Liang Guo will definitely strengthen his manpower defense, and if he goes again tomorrow, what is the difference between sending him to death?" ”

Baili Jin smiled and said: "Soldier, treacherous!" Tonight, our army's surprise attack is successful, Zhu Wang will definitely send more manpower, but the Liang army naturally does not believe that Ben will make another dangerous move tomorrow, the so-called additional manpower, just do it as usual, then let's do the opposite, and then hit him with an unstable foothold and caught off guard! ”

————

On the second night, after the Liang army learned the lesson of last night, he really sent more people to be on duty at night, but when it was close to the ugly, there was still no movement in the city of the hundred divisions, and the night vigil sergeant couldn't help but relax his vigilance a little. At this time, it was late at night, the Liang army was sleepy, and after waiting for a while, there was still no sneak attack by the Yan army.

Just when the defenders were lax, Jiang Daohua led five thousand elite cavalry, and rushed to attack with thunder, this raid, the Yan army did not directly smash the Yellow Dragon, only harassed outside the camp, with fire attack, constantly throwing oil torches into the camp, for a while, the camp of Liang State wailed, and the air was filled with a smell of burning.

Jiang Daohua and the five thousand spirits rode back and forth like the wind, and after succeeding, they drove their horses back to the Hundred Divisions City, Tu Meng was furious, turned over on his horse, raised his war sword, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to pursue, don't let Yangou return to the city alive!" ”

was attacked for two days in a row, but he didn't even see the appearance of the enemy, the Liang army was full of anger, many soldiers didn't have time to put on armor, picked up a side of the blade, stepped on the war horse, and followed Tu Meng to chase the Yan army, but these Liang soldiers who had just woken up from their sleep were faster than the well-trained and well-prepared Yan Guojing cavalry.

The camp of Liang Guo is only five miles away from the city of the hundred divisions, Jiang Daohua's army arrived in a blink of an eye, the defenders in the city opened the city gate early, and took the friendly troops into the city, and at the same time, a row of crossbowmen at the head of the city opened their bows and arrows, and the bright arrows were aimed at the rear pursuers.

"Put!"

Under an order, a hundred arrows were fired, and the chasing soldiers of the Liang State could not avoid it, and the people turned over on their backs, and because they did not re-armor, they would die if they were hit by the arrows! After a rain of arrows, the first row of crossbowmen retreated in unison, and the second row immediately filled in to start a new round of fire. The Liang army had to wield the war knife in his hand and set aside the arrows, but the army was strictly governed by Baili Jin, and the crossbowmen under his hands were all excellent arm strength, and the archers in the middle of the city wailed everywhere, and the Liang army was constantly killed by arrows falling from his horse, even if Tu Meng's martial arts were strong, he was also shot in the shoulder with an arrow, which penetrated deep into the bone marrow and hurt his heart. Seeing another round of arrow rain coming, he was so frightened that he hurriedly tightened the reins and erected the war horse, which was lucky to escape. If it weren't for Jiang Zongbao leading the troops to rescue, I am afraid that Tu Meng would have to be handed over to the outside of the city of the hundred divisions tonight. The two raised their shields and fought and retreated, finally retreating beyond the range of the Yan army's bow and crossbow.

In the military tent, Zhu Wang's face was pale, he gritted his teeth, and did not say a word. I wanted to cut off hundreds of more heads to rectify the discipline of the army, but the big war was imminent, and in order to prevent the army's morale from being weakened, I could only endure my anger.
