The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the armor light opened to the sun.

The 100,000 division continued to approach from the end of the horizon, although it was not too fast, but the powerful power that swept the heavens and the earth really had the possibility of completely destroying the small Changshu city in front of them. Especially when the sound of drums and trumpets in the army roars, it is like a storm rolling, the tide is surging, and the earth is shaken.

When all the soldiers under his command decided that they could easily break through the city and annihilate the Song army in one fell swoop and continue to move forward with momentum, Pang Wanchun, who was in the Chinese army, was frowning deeply and his face was solemn. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the current situation, especially when he saw from a distance that the defenders of the city began to arrange defenses in an orderly manner, and the anger in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Fang Shi Buddha misunderstood me, otherwise the Song army that greeted us this time might be a Song army that had not yet recovered from the hard battle. If you want to break the city now, you will have to pay a double price! After making a judgment in his heart, Pang Wanchun's hand holding the reins became tighter and tighter, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were even more vigorous, and the murderous aura was even stronger.

Originally, relying on the cooperation and tacit understanding with Zhu Mian, Pang Wanchun had already set a complete plan to consume the strength of the Shandong army in front of Changshu City, and then take advantage of the situation to send heavy troops to trap the enemy here, and finally eat the elite of the Song army in one go. At least in his opinion, as long as the troops are used in this way, even if the Shandong army is brave and good at fighting, he will be able to achieve this strategic goal at the lowest cost.

In order to better implement this strategy, he even asked Fang Shifo to lead his elite to garrison near Changshu early in the morning, so that he could drag the Shandong army into the quagmire of attrition more quickly.

But after thousands of calculations, Pang Wanchun didn't expect that the problem would actually lie in Fang Shifo, a famous general of the Wu army who was as famous as himself. In order to avenge the revenge of Danyang City that day, he blatantly destroyed his previous arrangement when he learned the route and time of the Song army's march from Zhu Mian, and ran to Sanyuan Ridge to set up an ambush.

When Pang Wanchun learned about his risky behavior, he was really furious. Because in his opinion, this kind of approach is far easier to be broken by the enemy than his own strategy of using Changshu City as bait, and even if he really succeeds in the ambush in Sanyuanling, it is far more convenient to kill the Shandong army than to catch it all after introducing it into Changshu.

But Fang Shifo had already led the army away, and he was also Fang La's brother, and he was also a famous general in the Wu army who was only under him, which made Pang Wanchun pinch his nose and admit the matter in the end, and even quickly ordered Changshu to send another army and horses to meet him, so as to annihilate as much of the main force of the Shandong army as possible.

But the result of the battle of Sanyuanling was greatly beyond his expectations, Fang Shifo not only failed to break the Shandong army in shame, but let them be defeated, and even they were seriously injured and dying, or relied on some subordinates to save each other desperately, so they were able to save their lives. At the same time, Pang Wanchun's practice of dispatching the defenders of Changshu to take care of it also became a big failure, not only sending thousands of heads to the Shandong army in vain, but also letting Changshu City, which could have been held for a period of time, fall into the hands of the enemy overnight.

When the news of this series of failures came back to Suzhou, Pang Wanchun was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, and at the same time, his heart became more and more uneasy. He was not only worried that this would greatly affect the morale of the whole army, but also that the Shandong army would see some clues from it, so that this surprise attack strategy he had painstakingly set up would become a joke, and Changshu City, which could be easily attacked, would become a protracted offensive and defensive battle!

It is precisely because he is worried that the night will be long and dreamy, and that the longer the time drags on, the easier it will be for the enemy to see the flaws, so Pang Wanchun will quickly gather all the available soldiers and horses near Suzhou on the day he receives the relevant news, and pounce on Changshu with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

And the facts now clearly prove that what he feared most has come true! Only guarding the city, the Song army looked like they were waiting for the battle, and it was obvious that they had already prepared to face the attack of the great enemy in the past few days. Even after looking at it from a distance, Pang Wanchun was surprised to find that the Changshu city wall at this time was much higher than before!

After exhaling a deep breath of turbidity, Pang Wanchun suppressed the anger in his heart thoroughly. As a famous general in the army who has fought for many years, he knows that as the commander of the three armed forces, he must maintain absolute calm after the start of the war, and must not let uneasy, angry and other negative emotions affect every subsequent arrangement and order.

After a while, he said to the herald in front of him: "Order the three armies, and move forward steadily." What we have to do today is to approach Changshu City, put enough pressure on them first, and wait for our army to stabilize its position here before attacking the city......"

Just as he said the overall plan for the next step in a slow voice, a rapid horn suddenly sounded in front of him, and in an instant, a team of thousands of people was killed in the team as a forward, rushing towards the direction of Changshu City at an extremely fast speed!

Pang Wanchun, who saw this scene from afar, was stunned at first, and then became furious: "Without my military order, who allowed them to go out of the army without authorization?" "It's just that Fang Shifo disobeyed his military orders and attacked indiscriminately, after all, his identity was there. But now, even the soldiers and horses under his command suddenly rushed out on their own initiative, which made Pang Wanchun's heart full of murder, and he couldn't wait to kill a few subordinates who did not obey the order right now.

But soon, someone reported the relevant situation: "Pang Shuai, a small group of cavalry in the Song army suddenly went out of the city to provoke, and killed dozens of my forward scouts, and General Liao led three thousand elite forwards to kill the enemy!" ”

"Hmph......" Pang Wanchun snorted coldly from his nose, but his face did not improve in any way, and at the same time, he spurred the reins of his horse and rushed forward at full speed, he wanted to see how much ability the Song cavalry who came from the city could have, and he dared to take the initiative to provoke when his own 100,000 troops were pressing.

After running forward for more than ten miles, he finally stopped on a high slope and took in the situation of the two sides that were engaged in front of him. Needless to say, the tactics of the three thousand vanguard elites on his own side constantly outflanking forward, what made him feel frightened was the terrifying combat effectiveness of the cavalry team on the opposite side, which was only three hundred.

The opponent is clearly aware that his advantage is mobility, so he does not stupidly rush directly and go head-to-head with a tenfold enemy, but cuts and distracts the enemy's offensive by constantly interspersing and running. And relying on their speed, this cavalry team actually found a gap in the three-sided siege tactics of their own army several times to escape.

In this way, the soldiers of the forward army felt even more angry and unwilling, and they continued to stretch the line of roundup, trying to steal from all sides, vowing to completely trap this enemy army in their own encirclement. At present, although the Song army is rushing left and right, and still maintains a certain degree of flexibility and mobility, it is clear that under the pressure of the vanguard army step by step, and the intention to outflank, they have gradually moved away from Changshu City, and they have been trapped in a steady stream of troops for a period of time.

"Whew...... Although Liao Guang was a little anxious, he finally had some brains, and he seized their weaknesses and flaws to encircle and suppress. Although it took a lot of effort to do so, it was able to completely annihilate this cavalry of the Song army who dared to go out of the city to provoke. Pang Wanchun's face, who condescended to see everything, finally looked a little better, although the siege of 300 enemy troops with 3,000 people was a bit of a outnumbering meaning, and victory was not martial, but on the battlefield only for victory, everything else was a trivial.

At the same time, Pang Wanchun also set his eyes on Changshu City, which was ten miles away, and whispered softly: "Sun Tu, what trade-off will you make in this battle situation now?" Even in your Song army, cavalry is an extremely valuable elite, you can't watch them all annihilated, right? But as long as you dare to send troops out of the city, you will fall into my arms! ”

Although more than ten miles away, Sun Tu at the head of Changshu City looked straight into the distance as if he had the same heart as Pang Wanchun, but there was no worry or uneasiness on his face, just staring thoughtfully at the cavalry team in front of him that was being besieged by thousands of Wu troops, as if he was waiting for something.

However, some of the subordinates around him were already a little panicked at this time, and Lu Dawusong and a few other anxious people couldn't help but ask for battle: "Commander, it's better to let me wait to lead the army out of the city to support, and take them back to the city, otherwise it will ......."

In exchange, Sun Tu smiled calmly: "Don't worry, it's not too late for you to send troops when the time is ripe." The elite cavalry of my Qingzhou is not so easy to swallow! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm his statement, the cavalry team, which seemed to be about to be surrounded by the enemy troops on all sides, was completely trapped in a small battlefield, and suddenly crossed a beautiful arc, once again tore a crack in the weak point of the enemy's defense line, and rushed to the west.

Seeing that the cooked duck was suddenly about to fly again, Liao Guang was furious. As the vanguard of the army, he naturally hopes to make a contribution as soon as possible, and this cavalry, which only has a few hundred people but dares to provoke him head-on, is the target he must get rid of, how can he let them slip through his fingers like this?

At that moment, he gave another order, drew two groups of men and horses from his side, turned around from the side, intercepted the Song cavalry who wanted to break out of the battle from the west, and vowed to leave all of them here.

When he saw this change made by Wu Jun's forward, Sun Tu's eyes in the city flashed even more: "It's done!" ”

And Pang Wanchun, who was high outside the city, his face sank at the same time, and he hurriedly turned around and ordered: "Order the two battalions of Hongzhou in front to quickly send troops, cover them from both wings, and cooperate with the forward army to break the enemy, quickly!" ”

The commander's order immediately made the pro-soldiers and several subordinates who followed him stunned, originally the forward army surrounded and killed hundreds of cavalry of the other side with more than 3,000 people It was overkill, and now it is too cautious to send two battalions with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to outflank and attack, right?

But the herald did not dare to slack off, and quickly waved the flag in his hand, and with a few loud military trumpets, an order that made many people feel unbelievable was conveyed, and the two battalions of troops in front also began to move slowly.

At the head of the city, Sun Tu also saw this movement of the enemy army, and couldn't help but smile again: "Oh? It seems that the anti-army commander is also a smart man, and has seen the problem. But he's too late to make this arrangement, and I'm afraid you'll be foolish! ”
