After discussing with Tai Shici the goals of his cavalry, Chu Shan led an army of more than 12,000 people towards Hedong County. When they were about to arrive in Hedong County, Chu Shan and Tai Shi Ci soldiers divided into two routes, each leading 6,000 cavalry, ready to give Gao Shun support. Tai Shici entered Hedong County at the junction of Wuyuan County, Qinghe County and Hedong County, while Chu Shan himself was traveling day and night in Qinghe County, preparing to make a detour to Shao Dan's rear and prepare for a sneak attack.

On this day, Tai Shici had already come to a mountain forest fifty miles behind Shao Dan's camp. After spies, Shao Dan divided the army into three large battalions, presenting a triangular shape, one battalion was attacked, and the other two battalions were able to support in time. Now the two large battalions in front were attacking a city, adopting the method of encircling three without one, and the battle was very fierce, and people on both sides were killed from time to time. Tai Shi Ci was indeed pondering at this time, he only had 6,000 cavalry, if he could surprise them, he might be able to give them a heavy blow, but once it was exposed, as long as they guarded the big camp in the future, they would have no power to use force.

After learning that the last battalion had not participated in any siege battles within a month, and that the vigilance was already very lax, Tai Shici made a bold decision to prepare for a night attack. So, Tai Shici instructed his subordinates to prepare something to be lit, and after entering the camp, he immediately set fire to create chaos, and then went out from the side of the camp. Tai Shici led his 6,000 cavalry to enter the camp again and could not continue to approach when it was still more than thirty miles away from the camp, otherwise there would be a danger of being discovered by the spies of Shao Danhou's camp. Thereupon. Tai Shici and the others waited patiently for the night to fall here. In Tai Shici's ardent anticipation, night finally fell. Tai Shi Ci immediately began to act, and it took a full hour before Tai Shi Ci arrived not far from the rear army camp. Since Shao Dan's rear army did not participate in the battle, he believed that the battle would not affect the rear army, so the guards were very lax. There was not even a single spy outside the camp, and as for the sentry post, there were only more than ten people.

Tai Shi Ci did not rush into action, but patiently waited for the soldiers in the large camp to sleep. About an hour passed. Tai Shi Ci waved his hand. The troops immediately began to move, and more than a dozen sentry posts on this side of the camp were killed without knowing it. After entering the camp, Tai Shici's army was divided into sixty hundred-man teams, which advanced in different directions. And constantly igniting fires. Just when the fire started. Soldiers woke up in the camp one after another. But they were greeted by cold blades, and many of the soldiers were killed in their sleep, of course. As time went on, the battalion began to put up sporadic resistance, which at the time seemed weak to the well-equipped cavalry. After about a cup of tea, all the cavalry of Tai Shi Ci joined up, so the six thousand cavalry rushed towards the side of the camp like a torrent, and nothing could stop it, and this cavalry broke out very smoothly, and soon disappeared without a trace in the night.

In fact, when the fire broke out, the city guarded by Gao Shun and the other two major rescues of Shao Dan had already been detected. At the beginning, he didn't think about it, but as time went by, when the fire of the rear army camp was shining all over the sky, Shao Dan finally realized that something was wrong, but he was afraid of being ambushed on the way, so he had to order the camp to stand still and observe the situation. When a quarter of an hour had passed, Shao Dan saw that the fire had not decreased, but had increased. And as time passed, the shouting and killing in the camp gradually rose, and Shao Dan finally realized that the situation in the rear army camp was very bad. So, he ordered the two battalions to send 10,000 soldiers each to meet them and see what was happening.

At this time, the fire in the rear army camp was slowly controlled, after all, no one set fire now, and the battalion of 100,000 people was still very easy to control these fires. But the loss of the battalion was indeed not small, not to mention the materials lost in the fire, there were more than 10,000 soldiers killed alone, of which not many soldiers were really killed by Tai Shici's soldiers, no more than 2,000. There were also many soldiers who were burned to death by fire in their sleep. There are also those who have been trampled to death. In short, although the current fire is under control, the camp is still in chaos, and it is impossible to recover in a short time.

Shao Dan's Chinese army camp sent 10,000 soldiers and was slowly advancing in the direction of the rear army camp. The lighted torches formed a long dragon, zigzag and miles long. What is Tai Shici doing at this time? It turned out that Tai Shici did not leave too far after rushing out of the rear army camp. Instead, he was ambushed on the way to the Houjun camp rescued by Shao Dan's reinforcements. Prepare to see how many reinforcements Shao Dan can send. If it's not much, just eat it at once, if it's really not much, you can also take advantage of the night to carry out a sneak attack, and you can also rush to kill for a while, causing some losses. When Tai Shi Ci saw that there were only 10,000 reinforcements, a bloodthirsty light shot out of his eyes, and his 6,000 cavalry could easily eat these infantry. Not to mention that these infantry were unprepared, and under the cover of night, they could not even organize a decent defense.

After learning about his advantages, Tai Shici did not hesitate. Instead, with a wave of his hand, the 6,000 cavalry ran like a beast towards the 10,000 infantry of Shao Dan in front of him. Just as Tai Shi Ci launched an attack, this infantry finally sensed that something was wrong. A rumbling sound was remembered ahead, what seemed to be the voice of cavalry. These infantry suddenly looked colorless, and they didn't know how many cavalry there were, not to mention that at night, they couldn't beat these cavalry. So, the leader of this army, without the slightest hesitation, immediately turned around and fled in the direction of his own camp, he must have horses, and there are many people in the army who have horses, these people saw that the leader ran away, and he must have not resisted at all. So, under the leadership of these people, before Tai Shici arrived, these soldiers began to flee in all directions. Tai Shici's speed is very fast, but it can't compare to the survival of these people. The 6,000 cavalry killed less than 3,000 soldiers in the night. After those soldiers had extinguished the flames, it was difficult for their own cavalry to find them. What's more, his cavalry can't stay for a long time, once he is surrounded by Shao Dan, his cavalry is probably not far from the annihilation of the whole army. Therefore, after just rushing and killing for a while, Tai Shici withdrew his troops, and then quickly disappeared.

Of course, another rescue force did not escape the fate of being ambushed. Chu Shan personally led six thousand cavalry to ambush and waited for this support army. However, Chu Shan's harvest was greater than that of Tai Shi Ci, and Chu Shan's ambush site was a valley, and when the reinforcements passed through this valley, Chu Shan cut off their way back. Take a look at both ends. Catch a turtle in an urn. Except for a few clever people who escaped over the mountains and mountains, this 10,000-strong infantry team can be regarded as completely annihilated. And Chu Shan's army also lost several hundred men under their counterattack. After Chu Shan disposed of their corpses, they also disappeared like Tai Shici. Chu Shan and Tai Shi Ci both deeply understood the essence of cavalry, and cavalry can only be regarded as cavalry when it is impacted. In case of loss of speed. The cavalry may not even be as good as the infantry. Therefore. Chu Shan and Tai Shi Ci both involuntarily chose to harass tactics outside, and turned small victories into big victories. Tong guò constantly eats away at Shao Dan's vital force.

Chu Shan's tactics were right, the two cavalry killed more than 20,000 of Shao Dan's infantry this time. In addition, Shao Dan lost 30,000 troops due to the siege of the city in the previous month. Now there are more than 50,000 casualties. Originally, it was 300,000, but now it's just 20,000. Chu Shan was very satisfied with his results, as long as he and Tai Shici were careful, they would be able to share the pressure of Gao Shun's defense from the side. After all, there are two cavalry around, and Shao Dan must leave enough strength to protect him when he is attacking the city, otherwise, once he is attacked by the cavalry during the siege, the result will be unimaginable.

In this way, Gao Shun defended the city much easier, and the casualties were reduced a lot. However, Shao Dan was really not satisfied, and he paid the price of 1,000 to 2,000 people every day, and he really didn't have a chance to climb the city wall. Coupled with the constant harassment of the two cavalry around him, Shao Dan was not very troubled. A total of 10,000 people have been lost in the past few days. If this continues, I am afraid that before I can break through the city, my troops will be exhausted. Shao Dan definitely did not allow such a thing to happen, so he convened a military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

But everyone had no good way, so they had to break up unhappily. In the end, after Shao Dan made up his mind, he merged the three battalions and concentrated on capturing one of the city gates. During the siege of the city, 100,000 soldiers were sent on each side to prevent the sneak attack of the cavalry. This method really worked, because the cavalry could not storm the infantry formation due to the difference in numbers. In the end, I could only watch Shao Dan and Gao Shun constantly fight on the city wall. Suddenly there was a river of blood, this time the battle was much more fierce than the previous times, above the city wall, under the city wall, there were constantly dying shouts, the wounded soldiers screamed in pain, it was simply miserable, just one day, Gao Shun's troops lost five thousand. And Shao Dan's troops have suffered even greater losses, and now they have lost 20,000. However, Shao Dan still had 220,000 troops, Gao Shun only had 20,000 troops, and the rest of the troops were guarding other counties. According to this consumption, within three days, this county town will be captured.

Of course, Chu Shan couldn't let this happen, but now there was no good countermeasure. had no choice but to divide his troops with Tai Shici when Shao Dan was attacking the city, launched a tentative harassment attack on the infantry array, and immediately retreated after a rain of arrows. Each time it was able to cause a large riot and shoot hundreds of people. But Shao Dan seemed to be dead, regardless of it, and directly led his subordinates to attack the city. After two days, Gao Shun's troops were only 11,000, while Shao Dan's troops were still 180,000. There are now 70,000 infantry on both sides to prevent a sneak attack, 20,000 are attacking the city, and the remaining 20,000 are mobile forces, ready to reinforce at any time.

Chu Shan is also at a loss now, and it is too late to mobilize troops from other places, not to mention that the troops of other places cannot be mobilized at will. In order to allow Gao Shun to resist, Chu Shan had no choice but to transfer the troops of the rest of the county to the county town guarded by Gao Shun, and mobilized a total of 30,000 troops. The combat effectiveness of these troops is much lower than that of Gao Shun's direct subordinates, but there are indeed quite a few of them. In this way, Gao Shun has 40,000 under his command. On the second day, Shao Dan's army was significantly more lethal, killing more than 20,000 of Gao Shun's troops defending the city at one time, and his own casualties were only 20,000, which was already a one-to-one casualty ratio.

on the third day, ten thousand to twenty thousand;

on the fourth day, nine thousand to ten thousand;

Now Shao Dan's army is only 130,000, but Gao Shun's troops are indeed lost. Fortunately, Shao Dan seemed to have neglected something, that is, to capture this city, so that Chushan could continuously mobilize the troops of other counties, and in this way, he gathered 30,000 troops for Gao Shun. In this way, the armies of the other counties are less than 5,000. If, at this time, Shao Dan changes to a county seat, I am afraid that the result will be immediately breached. But this is not the case, Shao Dan seems to be in love with Gao Shun, and he is dedicated to capturing this small city, and even his subordinates and the rest of the Taishou can't persuade him.

In this way, after another three days, there were only 10,000 of Gao Shun's troops left, but these were all elites of a hundred battles. And Shao Dan's army only had 100,000. When attacking the city, it was no longer possible to do as casually as before, and it was necessary to leave enough troops to defend, and the strength of the siege troops was reduced, which gave Gao Shun a chance to kick off. There are also 10,000 cavalry of Chushan eyeing outside. (To be continued......)
