In front of the army.

Ning Shehai raised his clairvoyance and looked straight ahead. About ten miles away was the Caoshu City abandoned by the Jade Army.

But now, they want to fight back the city, and not when there are less than 30,000 Loufan defenders, but when nearly a million Loufan troops gather in Caoshu City.

"General."

Ning Shehai's personal commander said with a solemn face: "If our army launches a main attack from the north, regardless of whether it can enter or not, our army will be trapped in a tight siege within an hour."

Ning Shehai nodded: "I know."

The captain said: "So General...are we, are we..."

Ning Shehai said: "Lin Ye is the commander-in-chief of this counterattack, and the commander's orders cannot be violated. Since the main attack has been left to us, we must fight this battle well."

The captain opened his mouth, but did not dare to say anything else. He knew the general's temper, and if he said anything else, he would probably be scolded.

Although the general is known as a Confucian general, he can be as powerful as thunder when he gets angry.

"Go down with the order and hear the sound of the cannon. All armies will attack according to the plan!"

"yes!"

After Ning Shehai finished his instructions, he also took a deep breath.

It is true that he has 160,000 elite men under his command, but the enemy has millions of soldiers. Adding in the slaves and auxiliary soldiers, the total strength of the Loufan people may exceed 1.5 million.

Ten times as much as him.

To launch an attack on the enemy with one-tenth of the enemy's force, not to mention Ning Shehai has never fought this kind of battle. Even if we go back hundreds of years or even a thousand years, no one has ever fought this kind of battle.

He only hoped that Lin Ye's plan would succeed so that his 160,000 elites would lose less.

They are all soldiers whom he personally trained with so much hard work, and they are all just like his brothers.

Ning Shehai looked back at the soldiers who were keeping time, and saw that the time was almost up.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard a very vague sound of a cannon.

The sound came from the flank of Lou Fan's army, so Ning Shehai's expression suddenly changed.

According to the plan Lin Ye told him before, he would lead his army to attack from the north, with Lin Ye and his sister Ning Haitang supporting him on the left and right wings.

This battle can indeed defeat the enemy without any reaction, because the enemy could not have expected that the Jade Army would give up the plain raid and instead attack a large and fortified city.

However, what the enemy does not believe is precisely what cannot be done.

The reason why Ning Shehai was shocked at this time was because the direction from which the cannon was fired turned out to be the direction of his sister Ning Haitang's army. This meant that Ning Haitang attacked first!

This was not planned!

Could it be that Ning Haitang knew that he was going to be the main attacker and didn't want him, the eldest brother, to be in danger?

"Confused!"

Ning Shehai's face turned a little pale.

"Send the order, fire the cannon, attack!"

Following Ning Shehai's order, all his 160,000 elite troops came out.

The reason why the north side of Ningshehai is the main attack direction is because the Loufan people's military deployment on the north side is relatively weak.

The millions of Loufan troops withdrew from the south, and their company camp was built on the south side of Caoshu City.

If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy general Duobie must have entered Caoshu City to rest. At this time, there are at least 700,000 to 800,000 Lou Fan's main force on the south side of Caoshu City.

There is no company camp on the north side, but the enemy can quickly come to support, so no matter how you look at this battle, it seems like a moth flying into the flame.

This kind of battle does not need to be fought by a madman. As long as the madman is not stupid, he will not do it.

"kill!"

Ning Shehai takes the lead.

He could no longer care so much, and his sister took the lead in attacking in order to prevent him from being trapped in a tight siege.

This not only broke the previous arrangement, but also brought the decisive battle to an early stage.

Ning Shehai was worried about Ning Haitang's safety, and his eyes were already a little red.

His sister has been strong since she was a child, and to be honest, she doesn't really have much respect for his eldest brother.

Since childhood, his sister has always been better than him and has a stronger personality than him. Ning Haitang seems to be more of a man.

Ning Shehai had a gentle personality and was well-read in poetry and books. He was known as a Confucian general in the army. When he was young, he had just become a fifth-rank general, so some people called him the number one general.

However, this does not mean that he does not care about his sister, nor does it mean that his sister does not care about him.

At such a time of life and death, his sister chose to take the lead in attacking the Loufan people. This is actually enough to illustrate the depth of the relationship between the brother and sister.

However, just as Ning Shehai's army stormed over from the north, suddenly a hail of arrows flew in!

Without any warning, dense numbers of Lou Fan soldiers appeared on the ground.

Ning Shehai's expression immediately changed!

Since last night, his scouts have been keeping an eye on the movements of Caoshu City and have not seen any mobilization of Lou Fan's army. Why did such a large-scale ambush suddenly appear as if they came out of the ground?!

However, it didn't take long for Ning Shehai to realize that these ambush troops were mobilized last night, but the Loufan people used a very secretive method.

In a majestic city with a million troops stationed, their rangers are naturally too numerous to count.

Therefore, Ning Shehai's scouts could not get too close, especially at night. If the enemy's soldiers and horses were mobilized without using torches or flattery, the whole army would move quietly and it would be difficult to detect them.

After those Loufan people were mobilized last night, they had been crawling on the ground motionless.

They were all covered with grass. At this time, the grassland of Dongbo was not completely green yet. The green and yellow alternated between green and yellow. From a distance, nothing could be seen at all.

When Ning Shehai's army suddenly came over, the Lou Fan archers who were ambushing here immediately got up and started to counterattack towards the Jade army. The arrows were like a heavy rain.

Ning Shehai's offensive immediately stopped under the pressure of a burst of arrows. At this time, the north gate of Caoshu City opened wide and a large number of cavalry roared out.

On the north wall, Duobie raised his clairvoyance and observed carefully.

"Ning Shehai..."

Duobie said to himself: "I have been waiting for you to come."

Not long ago, Lin Ye once commented on Duo Bei... Lin Ye said that if Lou Fan goes south this time and a million-strong army is commanded by Duo Bei, then the battle in Yunzhou City will be even more tragic.

Duobei's ability to lead troops was far superior to his Zongzheng's prominence.

It's just that Zong Zheng and others all want to compete for the throne. Among them, Zong Zheng is the most powerful and prominent, so they naturally want to compete for the position of commander in order to increase their bargaining chips in the fight for the throne.

Now that the army is back in the hands of Duobie, the famous general Lou Fan has long wanted to have a good encounter with Dayu's elite on the frontal battlefield.

"I have long expected that you will attack from the weakly defended north side, and I have long expected that Lin Ye will attack Caoshu City."

Duo Bie had always heard about Lin Ye's strange tactics. He was on guard all the way, but Lin Ye never attacked.

This made Duo Bie even more convinced that Lin Ye was blindly pursuing military tactics and tactics, so his goal could only be Caoshu City to catch Lou Fan's army off guard.

After he led his army to Caoshu City, he mobilized troops and horses at night. He was not allowed to bring a horse and no one was allowed to speak.

After leaving Chosukseong, I lay down on the ground and was not allowed to move. Even if I had to pee, I had to pee in my pants.

Sure enough, he asked him to wait for Ning Shehai's Yujun.

Chosukseong is a large city. It not only has four gates in the east, west, and south, but also has three gates on the north and south sides, and one gate on the east and west sides.

At this time, Lou Fan's elite cavalry rushed out from the three city gates. Looking at their posture, they wanted to devour Ning Shehai's 160,000 frontier troops on the plain.

Ning Shehai does not have as many cavalry as the Cowardly Army!

This is on the plains. The jade people who are best at defending have lost the big city to rely on. Under the charge of Lou Fan's cavalry, what else can they rely on to defend?!

Duobie took a deep breath and stared straight at the movement of the Jade Army to the north.

"General!"

Some of his subordinates hurried over and leaned forward to report: "The Jade Army on the left is attacking very fiercely!"

Duobie nodded and said: "The Chinese Army mobilized the past 20,000 people as a reserve force. The other troops will not move. We must first eat Ning Shehai's team, and then return to the army to outflank Lin Ye's team."

The subordinates immediately agreed, turned around and ran out to deliver the order.

North side.

Ning Shehai saw the Loufan people coming in force and reacted immediately.

"After the order was sent, the rear army immediately formed a formation, with arrows in front and spearmen behind, and the formations were staggered."

"Instruct the front troops to retreat immediately, cover alternately, and retreat behind the arrow array."

He kept issuing military orders and sounding trumpets.

The front troops who rushed out were all swordsmen. After being ambushed and beaten by the Loufan people, they immediately stopped. At this time, they heard the order and retreated quickly and orderly.

On the rear side of the Chinese army, a large number of Jade Army infantry began to take action, the archers began to gather in formation, and the spearmen stood in rows behind the archers.

The arrow array is not as airtight as a wall. There is a passage between every other square array, which is reserved for the soldiers retreating in front and the heavy equipment behind.

The front army retreated quickly and returned to the rear formation through the passage between the archer phalanx, while the archers were already ready.
