Bingzhou.Lu County.

Lu County is located on the east side of Huguan. It is an important place bordering Bingzhou and Jizhou. If the Jizhou army passes through Lu County, it can reach Huguan directly. Then go south to Henei and approach Luoyang and Chang'an.

In view of the importance of Lu County, Xu Rong pacified Bingzhou and stationed in Lu County.

Inside the city. Military camp.

The Central Army's tent. Xu Rong held the information sent back by the scout in his hand. His eyes were cold and his expression was solemn.

Wang Lei's troops were divided into three groups to fight against Li and Cao's coalition. He was very bold. However, in Xu Rong's view, Wang Lei's strategy to divide his troops to fight was clearly seeking death. His troops were too scattered. The strength of each group was weakened. In the end, he would definitely be defeated by each group.

However, Xu Rong was also under great pressure. Wang Lei personally led his troops to Lu County. The pressure he was under was greater than the other two routes.

If you don't pay attention, you may lose.

"Come."

Xu Rong shouted loudly. A soldier walked in respectfully.

"Send the order. All the generals gather."

The soldiers went to pass the orders. It took not long. The generals in the army came to the tent.

The generals gathered together. Xu Rong looked serious and said in a deep voice: "I just got the news. Wang Lei led an army of 50,000 to enter Lu County and was coming to the county town."

The captain Gan De looked excited and clasped his fists and said, "The Taiwei issued an order before. Let the general lead us into Jizhou. Wang Lei took the initiative to deliver us to the door. It also saved us from the long journey into Jizhou. This would be even better. As long as the general defeated Wang Lei, he would definitely receive the reward from the Taiwei."

After pausing, Gande clasped his fists and said, "General. The last general is willing to be the vanguard. Lead his army to fight Wang Lei."

The side general You Yong stood up and shouted: "General. The last general is willing to be the pioneer."

The side general Zheng Gong clasped his fists and said, "General. The last general is willing to be the pioneer."

The captain Dai Li said: "General. The last general is willing to be the vanguard."

The generals in the army took the initiative to ask for battle, with high fighting spirit and extremely confident.

Xu Rong smiled and said, "You all have the chance to fight in this battle."

Standing up, Xu Rong pointed to the map hanging behind him and said, "After entering Lu County, you must arrive at the county town. There are four small towns, namely Sishui Bridge, Dongyuan, Xiaohe Town, and Luodian. Wang Lei has a force of up to 50,000 and is strong. So it must be weakened. I plan to adopt a step-by-step harassment strategy. Each place will harass the other party. When Wang Lei leads his troops to the county town, he will become a tired army. At that time, we will attack again and defeat Wang Lei."

The topic changed. Xu Rong shouted: "Gander obeyed the order."

"The last one will be there."

Gande stood up and answered with his fists.

Xu Rong said: "You lead 300 elite soldiers and rush to Sishui Bridge as fast as possible. No matter what harassment strategy you take, you must weaken the opponent's strength."

"The last one will obey the order." Gande followed the order.

"You Yong." Xu Rong shouted.

"The last one will be there."

There were brilliances in You Yong's eyes.

Xu Rong ordered: "You will lead three hundred elites to Dongyuan Town to harass you."

"promise."

You Yong returned to the seat and sat upright.

Xu Rong shouted, "Mr. Zheng obeyed the order."

Zheng Gong got the order and stood up and replied: "The last one will be there."

Xu Rong's eyes were extremely sharp and he shouted, "You led 300 elite soldiers to rush to Xiaohe Town to station. After Wang Lei's army arrived, you attacked Wang Lei's army in Xiaohe Town."

"promise."

Zheng Gong answered and sat down.

Xu Rong's eyes fell on Dai Li and said with a smile: "Dai Li's mission is the same. Lead 300 elite soldiers to ambush in Luodian. As long as Wang Lei's troops enter Luodian, he will start to harass him. No matter what method he takes, he will be successful."

"promise."

Dai Li held his fists and responded. He was extremely confident.

These people were Xu Rong's generals. They followed Xu Rong to fight in the east and west. They had never suffered a defeat and had infinite confidence. Even though Wang Lei was famous all over the world, they still had high fighting spirit and did not take Wang Lei in their hearts.

Xu Rongda ordered: "Go and execute the order."

Everyone left and went to lead their troops to attack and carry out their own missions.

...

Wang Lei was leading his army to the border between Lu County and Jizhou. The army approached Sishui Bridge. The strength of the town was almost minimal. The city of Sishui Bridge was only three meters high and could not stop Wang Lei's army.

With no effort, Wang Lei easily took the town.

It was getting dark and the army camped outside the town to rest.

In July, the weather becomes hotter and hotter. At night, insects and birds keep singing. The starry sky is bright and the full moon hangs high.

Wang Lei couldn't fall asleep. Check out the map in the camp.

"Dong.Dong..."

The sound of war drums suddenly rang outside the tent.

Wang Lei stood up, held a sword and rushed out of the tent quickly and came outside the tent. Wang Lei shouted: "Ming Jin. Call the soldiers in the camp to gather."

"Clang.Clang.Clang..."

The sound of gongs rang out. The soldiers in the camp gathered together.

At the same time, the soldiers lying in the ambush in the camp also acted quickly and prepared to fight the invading enemy.

In just a short moment, the soldiers in charge of the night watch in the camp were already waiting. The soldiers resting in the camp also put on their clothes and rushed out with their knives. The soldiers in the army gathered together to prepare for the war. They were all ready. But after the sound of the war drums sounded for a while, the surroundings became quiet. There was no sound anymore.

The night sky was silent, and only the voices of soldiers in the army were left.

Guo Jia came to Wang Lei and said unhurriedly: "Lord, the drum sounds stopped after a while. This must be the other party's harassment strategy. Xu Rong wanted to use such a strategy to harass us and prevent our soldiers from resting."

Tian Feng looked serious and said, "I agree with the military advisor's suggestion. The other party must have intended to harass him."

Xu You said: "I suggest that more than 100 cavalrymen from the Eagle and Falcon Camp be sent to battle. Let the cavalry patrol and guard around the camp. Once a large-scale enemy is encountered, the cavalry can whistle and warn. If there are a small number of enemies outside the camp, more than 100 cavalrymen from the Eagle and Falcon Camp be able to win in one fell swoop."

Lu Bu was wearing armor and holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji. He shouted: "It is best to leave the matter of patrol to the Eagle Falcon Camp. I immediately sent a hundred people to patrol outside the camp."

Immediately, Lu Bu issued an order.

The cavalry came out and patroled outside the camp.

Wang Lei asked the army to disperse, and the soldiers responsible for the night watch stayed.

In the second half of the night, the sound of war drums sounded outside the camp again.

There were even thunderous drums and thunder. Wang Lei did not summon the soldiers to gather. He went out of the camp alone to check. He found that he had another flick. It took not long. The cavalry garrison commander responsible for patrol returned. Reported: "General. The enemy beat the war drum in one place and immediately moved to the place. It was very cunning. Especially the surrounding forests are many, which are not suitable for cavalry attacks."

Wang Lei ordered: "Since that's the case, there is no need to deal with the sound of war drums outside the camp. Just check whether there are large troops coming. If there are no large troops, let them beat drums and drums. Without your reports, the soldiers will continue to sleep."

Outside the camp, there are cavalry responsible for the alert; inside the camp, there are night watchmen arranged. Wang Lei is not worried.

The cavalry left the camp and Wang Lei returned to the camp. That night, the sound of war drums sounded intermittently. But Wang Lei's soldiers were lying in the camp and slept.

After dawn, the army left Sishui Bridge and headed towards Dongyuan.
