The three of them began to think about how to arrange around the surrounding terrain, and the three of them ran back and forth throughout the day before finally deciding on the plan.

"We're going to dig a lot of traps ahead, and we're going to have to stumble so that the ambush can't get too close so as not to be discovered." Ye Chen looked at the redrawn map around him and said.

"My lord, once the enemy is blocked, you can retreat, we have too few troops, I'm afraid we can't stop it." Guan Yu raised his concerns.

"That's what I thought of too. We also laid an ambush on their way back, and the tripwires were made of iron chains and buried in the ground, and when they had passed, our men went and pulled them up. With tripwires, we can block them as long as we arrange a few people. ”

"Second brother, this place is relatively small, and it is indeed a good place for ambushes, but if the other party has too many soldiers and horses, I am afraid that they will not all be able to fit into the ambush circle." Tai Shici recalled the terrain he had surveyed during the day and said.

The three of them slowly summed up there, considered everything they could consider, and made sure that there was nothing left behind, and the three of them did not finish all the work until dawn.

After dawn, the three of them divided up and began to direct the escort battalion to start construction, digging pits and digging pits, moving stones and moving stones, and some people went to build a simple wharf.

Everything was going on in an orderly and tense manner, time waited for no one, Ye Chen and the three of them did not rest for a day, while constructing, while perfecting their plans.

Another day later, there was news that the Xiongnu in Youbeiping were divided into two parts, and swept in Youbeiping, no one resisted, and the Huns swept back and forth, causing great damage.

The Xiongnu gradually approached Liaoxi, Liaoxi governed Yangle, at this time the city gate was closed, there were more than 2,000 soldiers on it to defend, plus some temporarily recruited strong men, there were also five or six thousand people.

It's just that Gongsun Chan is not in the city at this time, his morale is not high, and he doesn't know how long he can defend.

Another day passed, and on this day, Ye Chen ushered in the Ye family's fleet, most of which were large merchant ships, and there were also some warships, which were obviously easy to use to carry soldiers and supplies, and the warships were not very useful.

The merchant ships brought a thousand soldiers, as well as a large amount of supplies, especially arrows, and two thousand militiamen, who had not come to fight, but to help with the construction and finally cover the retreat of the main forces.

This cover retreat is not to let them break off, that is irresponsible to them, but to let them be on the boat, if the escort battalion can not get rid of the Huns in the end, let them shoot arrows on the shore on the boat, so that the Huns can not get close.

The Huns entered Liaoxi, and after entering Liaoxi, the Huns divided their troops into two routes, one to Lingzhi and Feiru to kill, and the other to Yangle and Linyu.

Obviously, they already knew the situation in Liaoxi, knew that there were not many soldiers and horses, plus they attacked Youbeiping, and Youbeiping did not have a strong defense, so they could easily break through and kill Taishou.

Youbeiping is so easy in the case of being too guarded, so let alone Liaoxi. Therefore, in order to break through Liaoxi as soon as possible, the Xiongnu divided their troops.

Even if the troops are divided, their strength is still very strong, there are more than 10,000 people on each road, and they lose two or three thousand people in Youbeiping, and some stay to go to the countryside to sweep.

Ye Chen secretly sent people to send a lot of bows and arrows to Yangle and Linyu, hoping to increase their defense and kill more enemies, and at the same time let the intelligence officers clear the two cities of those restless people, as well as those who incite right and wrong.

As long as the two cities can kill and injure more enemies, then Ye Chen and their chances of victory will be greater.

Along the way, there were only two small cities and some villages and towns, and the two small cities were able to resist the enemy in less than half a day before they were breached, and the number of enemy casualties was limited.

The enemy came slower than expected, because they had to loot along the way, and the rule of the steppe was that whoever grabbed it was whomever he wanted, so many soldiers immediately hung up a lot of loot.

This seriously affected the speed of their marches, and the Xiongnu also had an important task, which was to plunder the population, and they needed and liked slaves, and slaves were also part of the wealth.

The Xiongnu began to divide their troops again, leaving a few hundred people here and a few hundred people along the road, mainly to guard the booty and guard the slaves, so that the slaves could help them transport the booty.

"Report, lord, the Huns are only half a day's journey away from Yangle." The scout came to report.

When Ye Chen heard this, he immediately unfolded the map and marked the enemy's location.

"How many enemies are there?"

"There are about 15,000 people, of which about 10,000 are Hun cavalry, and the rest are Han soldiers. In addition, it is reported that Zhang Chun sent his subordinates to capture strong men in Yuyang and Youbeiping, and organize soldiers and horses. ”

He is not worried about Zhang Chun's organization of soldiers and horses, these newly organized soldiers and horses do not have much combat effectiveness at all, this is just that Zhang Chun wants to pull up more soldiers and horses in order to increase his right to speak.

If he has too few soldiers and horses, his future status will not be important, and he will not get enough benefits, so it is not difficult to understand that Zhang Chun recruited troops.

Although there are only 15,000 soldiers and horses along the way, the pressure on Ye Chen is still very great, he is full of calculations, and he only has 4,005 troops to use, although there are still 2,000 militiamen, but Ye Chen does not intend to let them enter a frontal battle.

Half a day later, it was almost night, and the Huns roared.

The Xiongnu were violent, at the head of Yangle City, the soldiers were in a commotion, obviously lacking confidence, and there were some officers on the head of the city to pacify back and forth, and the soldiers and young men slowly calmed down.

However, although Gongsun Chan has not been here for a long time, he has not relaxed the training of soldiers for a day, and there is not any preparation in the city, at least there are still a lot of materials for defending the city.

And Ye Chen provided them with a large number of bows and arrows, and hoped that they would be able to hold on for a while longer.

At the head of the city, after the Hun soldiers set up camp, some Hun cavalry began to shout under the city wall, running back and forth, shouting while running.

When the soldiers at the head of the city saw this, some of them turned pale, and some of them even wanted to escape, and there was a commotion on the city.

The Hun soldiers below were even more excited when they saw this situation, and some of them only had a few horses, and they actually rushed up in the direction of the city wall to make an attack action.

However, they were obviously the people who were playing the city, and after rushing for a while, they then made a half-circle and turned back.

Although they did not attack, they frightened the people on the head of the city, and many timid people, due to excessive nervousness, shot the arrows in their hands one after another, and they did not aim at all when they shot the arrows, and they were sparse, and there was no threat to the Huns.

When the Huns below saw this, they all laughed under the city.

The defenders at the head of the city were helpless, in the early years, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan often entered the Kou, and the people on these borders had a deep understanding of their strength, because in the war for many years, except for Liaodong Ye Chen, no one could win them, so they didn't think they could win.
