The distance from Langya Kingdom to Xiapi Kingdom is not too far. However, Donghai County is separated between the two places. In fact, many things in Donghai County are easy to handle because of the Mi family, but food is in Donghai County.
He was kidnapped by Cao Bao. This was obviously Cao Bao's provocation. Wang Can would not swallow this breath no matter what.
When Wang Can's troops entered Donghai County, with his status as the governor of Xuzhou and the presence of the Mi family, no one dared to comment. Officials from all over the country also cooperated.
In a short period of time, Wang Can's army had crossed Donghai County and entered the northernmost part of Xiapi Kingdom.
The place to the north of Xiapi State and bordering Donghai County is called Liangcheng County.
This place is adjacent to Xiapi County.
The county magistrate of Liangcheng County is named Liang Peng. This man once served as a primary school student under Cao Bao, and was later promoted to an official position and became the magistrate of Liangcheng County.
Liang Peng also gathered a lot of troops in Liangcheng County, with three thousand elite soldiers. In the eyes of people like Liang Peng, the three thousand elite soldiers under his command were Qiang soldiers who were good at fighting.
In particular, Liang Peng believed that he was a military commander and knew how to march and fight.
He didn't take Wang Can seriously.
Therefore, even if Wang Can came with 10,000 elite soldiers, Liang Peng was not afraid at all and went into battle with only 3,000 elite soldiers under his command. The soldiers under his command were all wearing helmets and armor and were neatly dressed.
As Liang Peng led his troops on the road, he encouraged his soldiers, shouting that after killing Wang Can, they would get a heavy reward. As he issued orders of heavy rewards, every soldier became restless.
This means that there must be brave men under heavy rewards.
Every soldier wants to make meritorious deeds.
In fact, Liang Peng wanted to see this scene. He wanted to capture Wang Can first before Cao Bao arrived. He didn't care about any bullshit Xuzhou governor, he only knew that Cao Bao was his immediate boss.
It doesn’t matter if you offend Wang Can!
If you offend Cao Bao, that's it!
So what Liang Peng had to do was to curry favor with Cao Bao. Even if he had fewer troops, he still had to show his loyalty to Cao Bao.
It was not that Liang Peng had not considered the consequences of failure. For Liang Peng, even if he failed, it would have no impact. At most, he could retreat to Liangcheng County and wait for Cao Bao's army to arrive.
The army rushed forward in great strength, and the army led by Wang Can also came quickly.
The distance between the two sides shortened rapidly.
When the two sides were less than twenty miles away, the sentry sent by Wang Can found the army in Liangcheng County. They quickly returned and came to Wang Can and reported: "Sir, we are less than twenty miles away in front of us.
A group of troops from Xiapi Kingdom came to kill us."
Wang Can said: "Is it Cao Bao's army?"
"no!"
The sentry shook his head and replied, "After we observed closely, there were only three thousand people on the other side. According to nearby villagers, it was Liang Peng, the magistrate of Liangcheng County, who came to kill them."
After Wang Can heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.
interesting!
How interesting!
A mere three thousand soldiers dared to resist the more than ten thousand elites under his command.
Wang Can didn't pay much attention to such a group of troops. He asked again: "How far away is Cao Bao's army from us, and where are they now?"
The sentinel said: "Reporting to your lord, Cao Bao's army has just entered the border of Liangcheng County. This is the news that was sent back before. The latest news has not been sent back yet."
Wang Can waved the soldiers to retreat.
In his mind, he was thinking about a strategy to deal with it.
Taishi Ci said: "My Lord, in my opinion, there is no need to devise a strategy to defeat this army. Please give me three thousand elite soldiers, and I can defeat this army in one go."
"No!"
Wang Can's eyes narrowed, and a light flashed.
He has a plan.
Tai Shici said: "What are your plans, my lord?"
There was a bright smile on the corner of Wang Can's mouth, and he said: "It is easy to defeat Liang Peng's three thousand soldiers, or even kill Liang Peng. But this time, I will use Liang Peng to make a plan.
Cao Bao."
Taishi Ci said: "Master, what is your plan?"
Wang Can said: "This time, we adopt a plan to encircle the point and mobilize reinforcements. Our army will focus on ambushing Cao Bao's army, taking it by surprise and defeating Cao Bao in one go."
"First, we still went all out and fought Liang Peng with our army. However, after we defeated Liang Peng's army, we did not kill Liang Peng and allowed Liang Peng to escape back and let him arrange for someone to ask Cao Bao for help.
"
"Second, after defeating Liang Peng, we divided our forces and moved forward. We stayed all the way and walked slowly to attract attention. The other army quickly took a small road to Liangcheng County to ambush halfway, waiting for Cao Bao's army to arrive."
Wang Can said: "The plan is not complicated, and this battle is relatively easy."
After hearing this, Taishi Ci thought about it quickly and said: "My lord is wise, my lord's plan will definitely succeed. Especially after Cao Bao received Liang Peng's request for help, he will definitely rush on at full speed. When the time comes, he will ignore the terrain and ignore the situation."
If you follow the sentry's arrangements, you will be more likely to fall into our ambush."
Wang Can smiled and said: "That's exactly it."
After the two people roughly talked about the detailed plan, they hurried on and continued forward. Less than twenty miles away, the two sides were heading towards each other again, and in a short time, they had already met.
Liang Peng sat astride a tall horse, with sharp eyes, and said: "Wang Can, do you think you can do whatever you want with the governor of Xuzhou? You are still too weak. Do you think you can win with 10,000 elite soldiers?
?You are too self-righteous."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Interesting, it is indeed interesting!"
Liang Peng ignored Wang Can's words and said again: "Now, surrender immediately, hand over your military power, and then hand over the seal and ribbon of Xuzhou Governor, and I will spare your life. Don't worry, as long as you surrender, I can guarantee that the Prime Minister will not
I will treat you badly."
Wang Can said: "I didn't expect that a mere county magistrate would dare to speak to me like this. This is really a little devil in the temple, and a small county magistrate can be so arrogant."
"Don't toast me and you'll be fined if you don't eat!"
Liang Peng had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "I will give you face now and give you a chance. If you can't grasp it, then your head will be lost next time. Wang Can, look at you, you are twenty years old
None. People like you have never seen any dangerous world or bloody scenes. Now, you can save your life by surrendering."
Wang Can said: "I want to tell you this, because your life may not be saved next."
"court death!"
When Liang Peng saw that Wang Can was not cooperating, he became angry and ordered: "Kill me, life or death!"
"kill!"
Three thousand officers and soldiers from Liangcheng County rushed forward quickly.
For this group of soldiers, Wang Can was an opportunity for them to gain military exploits. Each soldier charged with their swords in hand, and the distance between them and Wang Can's troops was quickly shortened.
Wang Can nodded towards Tai Shici.
"kill!"
Taishi Ci pointed his spear far ahead and gave the order to attack.
With Tai Shi Ci as the leader, three thousand elite soldiers came out.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides met. Taishi Ci took the lead and stabbed forward fiercely with the big gun in his hand.
"Puch!"
The sharp spear point penetrated into the soldier's body.
In an instant, the soldier was killed.
Taishi Ci withdrew his spear and charged forward again. Wherever he passed, the spears kept thrusting out, and those who stood in his way were invincible. No one could resist Taishi Ci.
The same is true for the three thousand elite soldiers under his command.
The soldiers swung their swords and chopped them off one by one, just like chopping melons and vegetables, constantly killing the soldiers in Liangcheng County.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly turned into a one-sided massacre.
The soldiers led by Tai Shici were like tigers and wolves, and they were the masters of tigers and wolves. But the soldiers under Liang Peng were like sheep. At the beginning, they burst out with tyrannical fighting power, but later on, they all
He got scared and was completely suppressed and beaten. It only took a moment, but he had already started to flee continuously.
Liang Peng was immediately dumbfounded.
How can it be?
The three thousand soldiers under his command are all roaring tiger and wolf troops. They are all extremely powerful in combat. How could they be defeated?
But the scenes before my eyes were so real.
The soldiers under his command were constantly being slaughtered.
He had elite men under his command and suffered numerous casualties.
Liang Peng suddenly came to his senses. He suddenly panicked and shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Liang Peng turned his horse's head and left.
Under such circumstances, the soldiers under his command were defeated and completely crushed.
When Taishi Ci rode his horse to charge, he was actually less than twenty steps away from Liang Peng. At this distance, even if there were soldiers in front of Taishi Ci to resist him, if Taishi Ci drew his bow and nocked an arrow, he would be able to kill Liang Peng.
Liang Peng, but Taishi Ci did not. Instead, he allowed Liang Peng to leave according to his previous plan.
"kill!"
Taishi Ci gave the order loudly.
He just led his soldiers to continuously attack and kill the soldiers in Liangcheng County. The more soldiers he killed now, the more soldiers he killed, the more he could weaken the soldiers in Liangcheng County to the maximum extent and break Liang Peng's courage.
This will help Liang Peng ask Cao Bao for help.
The army's massacre lasted for two quarters of an hour before it ended.
Liang Peng's three thousand officers and soldiers were all killed and dispersed. Some died, some fled, and some surrendered. They were completely defeated. Liang Peng came with three thousand soldiers, but when he drove back, there were not even five hundred soldiers left.
The losses are extremely heavy!
Taishi Ci rode his horse back, came to Wang Can's side, and said with a smile: "My lord, this Liang Peng is running very fast. Now, he has returned with a few soldiers. Next, it is time to deal with Cao Bao."
Wang Can nodded in agreement and said: "Let Lei Yan lead 6,000 elites to stay and continue to the direction of Liangcheng County. The two of us, leading 4,000 elites, took a small road and ambush halfway. We have 4,000 elites, plus
Come on, Dian Wei and I, if this fighting force is an ambush, even if Cao Bao has more troops, he will not be able to defeat us."
Taishi Ci thought for a while and said, "No problem!"
Taishi Ci didn't think much of Cao Bao's more than 10,000 elite men. Especially Wang Can's combat effectiveness, Taishi Ci knew it. With Wang Can personally leading the troops into the battlefield, and Dian Wei, they were enough to crush Cao Bao like a torrent.
