The three local military chiefs didn't dare to have any objections. They shook their heads quickly and said, "I will obey General Wu's orders."
"Okay!" Wuying said sternly: "Using the trumpet as an order, and with the sound of the trumpet, the three generals will each lead their troops to attack Ningding with all their strength!"
"General, I obey!" The three local army generals took the order and left. Wuying was also preparing to deploy the direct army and join forces with the three local armies to attack.
At this time, Fan Shan stopped her and asked with a smile: "General Wu, do you know why I want the local army to attack first?"
Wuying was quite puzzled by his question. Didn't he just say that he wanted the local army to test the enemy's true and false intentions first?
She didn't answer, but looked at Fan Shan strangely.
The latter explained faintly: "The combat power of the local army is low and far inferior to that of my direct army. I asked them to attack the city first to test the enemy's strength. The most important thing is to make the enemy underestimate the enemy."
It means. Now that the Zhen people see so many troops coming from our army, they will be afraid and close the city to defend. However, once there is a battle, they will definitely find that the siege army is weak. The bellicose Zhen army will not let go of the great gift sent to their door.
, they will definitely leave the city and take the initiative to attack, this is our army’s opportunity. As soon as the enemy troops leave the city, we can surround and destroy them, making it impossible for the enemy to come back."
Listening to Fan Shan's eloquent and eloquent words, Wuying couldn't help but frown. What he said was very good, but will the enemy army take the initiative to attack? If the enemy army does not leave the city and allows the local army to attack, our losses will be incalculable.
ah.
Seeing Wuying's hesitation and concern, Fan Shan patted his chest and said: "I am willing to guarantee with my head that the enemy will definitely leave the city!"
"Haha!" Wuying smiled, nodded, and said, "Since General Fan is so sure, let's do what General Fan wants! However, don't forget what you just said." Wuying should be kind to Fan.
He didn't have a good impression at all, and even suspected that he was the deputy commander of the direct army just to monitor him, although this order was given by Tang Yin.
Wuying adopted Fan Shan's advice, and the local army attacked the city first, while the direct army sat in the rear and watched the battle.
When the three local army generals returned to their headquarters, the horn of the direct army's attack also sounded.
Following the sound of the trumpet, three local armies launched a fierce attack on Ningding from the east, west and north.
The combat power of these three local armies is really not as weak as Fan Shan imagined. Of course, they are not that strong either. Especially in the eyes of the brave and experienced Zhenjun, such an army is even more worthless.
Mentioned it.
The initial attack of the local army was very fierce, and the morale of the soldiers was very high, and they were ready to conquer Ningding in one go. The 50,000 Zhen army closed the city and defended it, resisting with all their strength, and launched a fierce fight with the local army.
The Feng Army launched two consecutive all-out attacks, but the Zhen Army easily withstood them both times. The Feng Army's attacks were weak and exhausted again. The two fierce attacks were fruitless and suffered heavy casualties. Now the Feng Army's momentum was completely destroyed.
Suppress it.
People also began to be timid in attacking the city, looking forward and backward, for fear that they would rush too fast, run ahead of others, and suffer a concentrated attack from the enemy. It doesn't matter if one person thinks so, the whole army thinks so, and it doesn't matter.
Where else can the enemy's attack pose a threat?
The Feng Army became softer and less confident the more they fought, while the Zhen Army was exactly the opposite. The more they fought, the more confident they became. They felt that although the enemy's troops were large, their combat power and experience were very different, and they were not at the same level as our own.
Xiao Chong and several generals stood in the city gate building, looking at the battle below. The generals all shook their heads secretly, why did the Feng army come to attack the city? They simply came to die. People sneered at each other in low voices.
, with a look of disdain on his face.
One of the generals raised his hand and said to Xiao Chong: "General, the Feng army dares to attack our city without knowing whether to live or die. From the general's point of view, instead of closing the city and defending it, it is better for our army to take the initiative and have a head-on confrontation with the Feng army outside the city!
"
Xiao Chong waved his hand and said: "The enemy has a large number of troops and it is not appropriate for our army to go out of the city to fight." As he spoke, he looked towards the south of the city and said: "There are at least 100,000 Feng troops over there who have not participated in the battle.
Woolen cloth!"
The general sneered and said: "Such an enemy army is simply vulnerable. Let alone 100,000 people, even if there are 200,000 or 2 million, they are hardly a match for our army." After speaking, he looked at it.
Xiao Chong, seeing the latter's expressionless face, didn't know if he had listened to his words.
After a slight pause, he took two steps forward and whispered: "General, looking at the posture, the Feng Army attacking this time should not be the central army of Feng State, but the local army of Feng State. No matter how large the number of troops, it is
A group of rabble is nothing to be afraid of. Now is a great opportunity for the general to perform extraordinary feats. As long as the general gives the order to go out of the city to meet the enemy, with the strength of our army, we will be able to defeat the Feng army. The general, with 50,000 troops, defeated nearly 20
With an army of ten thousand, this is such a great achievement, even comparable to that of General Li Cheng who lived near Yancheng. After returning home, the general will have a bright future." We, the generals, can also follow you and rise to the top!
The second half of the sentence is what the general is saying, and of course he will not say it out loud.
His words spoke to Xiao Chong's heart.
Xiao Chong is a literary general, he knows the art of war, knows war strategies, is good at using troops, and is good at strategy. However, he was born in the Zhen Kingdom and joined the Zhen Army. Regardless of the Zhen Kingdom or the Zhen Army, they have always valued martial arts over literature.
, there are also outstanding literary generals like Li Cheng, but they are very few after all. It can be said that Xiao Chong was very unsuccessful in the Zhen Army.
At present, they are catching up with a large number of local troops from the Feng Kingdom to attack the city. This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Xiao Chong. As long as he can defeat this Feng army of more than 100,000 people, Xiao Chong will
He became famous in one battle. In the face of utilitarianism, no one will bow his head, unless he has jumped out of the Three Realms, is no longer in the Five Elements, and has seen through the world of mortals.
At this time, Xiao Chong was moved by what the general said. He squinted his eyes and took a closer look at the Feng army attacking outside the city.
The Feng army's combat power is low and their morale is low. This is not an act, but a real performance, because no one can pretend to be weak when they are dying. The Feng army that is attacking the city now
A group of soldiers rushed up, and a group was shot dead. The corpses under the city were piled up like mountains, and there were countless of them. There was no fear on the faces of many Feng soldiers, but confusion and numbness. That was when they first came to the city.
An expression only seen by new recruits on the battlefield.
It is impossible for Feng Jun to put up a show at the cost of such heavy casualties. If he insists on defending Ningding, he may really miss the opportunity. It doesn't matter to him, but if the soldiers under his command are not able to win the battle merit, then his own sin will be
It's too big. Xiao Chong is still convincing himself in his heart.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Leave ten thousand soldiers to guard the city. Other brothers, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Hearing this, the surrounding Zhenjun generals all smiled, their faces full of excitement. People cupped their hands and responded in unison: "General, I obey!"
Fan Shan said that he was using the local army as a wayfinding stone, but in fact, he was using the local army as bait. As a result, Xiao Chong really fell into his trap.
Xiao Chong didn't know that the 100,000 Feng troops outside Nancheng were directly under the army. Since the enemies came together, he naturally mistook them for the local army. He took the initiative to attack, and his target was not the Feng troops who were attacking the city.
And it was the one hundred thousand direct troops who were watching the battle. He could see that the enemy's commander must be among the one hundred thousand troops. If he wanted to fight, he would fight with the big one. It was pointless to entangle with these enemy troops who were attacking the city.
Xiao Chong left only 10,000 men to guard the city, and he personally led 40,000 Zhen troops to rush out from the south city gate and go straight to the direct army.
At this time, Wuying was in a panic. Fan Shan said that the enemy would take the initiative to leave the city to fight, but he did not see any move by the enemy to leave the city. On the contrary, the local army attacking the city suffered heavy losses, with countless casualties. If he continued to fight like this
If we go down, the local army will probably have to fight tooth and nail.
Wuying couldn't help but want to send his direct troops to join the battle, but Fan Shan refused. He swore that the Zhen army would definitely leave the city. In the end, Wuying was also annoyed by him, pointing at Fan Shan's nose and yelling angrily: "
If another moment passes and the enemy troops have not left the city, I will want your head!"
Fan Shan remained silent, just nodded with a smile and looked towards Ningding City.
He bet with the lives of all the local army officers that the Zhen Army would leave the city. As a result, Fan Shan won the bet, and the main force of the Zhen Army headed by Xiao Chong indeed came out of the city and came straight towards them.
Seeing the enemy troops leaving the city and coming towards him again, Fan Shan's spirits were lifted, and the heart in his throat finally fell back into his stomach. Despite his calm appearance, in fact he was also nervous.
It is very clear that wars are ever-changing, and no one can 100% predict the enemy's next choice.
Fan Shan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Wuying and said: "General Wu, the enemy has indeed come out of the city to attack our army. We must not fight with them now. We should retreat immediately, attract the enemy to pursue us, and then encircle and attack them!"
When Zhenjun came out of the city, Wuying was really frightened, not by Zhenjun, but by Fan Shan's ability to predict events. She even doubted whether he could predict the future, or how he could.
So are you sure that the enemy troops will definitely leave the city?
Now she had to look at Fan Shan with admiration. After listening to his words, Wuying didn't think about it any more and nodded: "Yes! Pass my military order and the whole army retreats!"
Wuying gave an order, and the rear team of the direct army changed to the front team, and hurriedly fled backwards.
As soon as the direct army withdrew, the local army attacking the city completely lost its backbone and could no longer hold up. The three local armies stopped attacking the city one after another and retreated together.
Seeing this, Zhenjun felt even more contemptuous. Facing such a vulnerable idiot army, wasn't it a great opportunity for him to make a contribution? After Zhenjun left the city, he pursued the direct army with all his strength, and people almost swarmed around.
