To the east of the earthen drum and to the north of the tomb, there is the valley name Liangqing.

Xu Huang's army took grain and grass to hide, scattered several troops in various places, this time he drew 5,000 horsemen from the army headquarters, and accepted more than 3,000 people in the army led by the Koji Yan, and the soldiers and horses under his command have 8,000 strange. His soldiers and horses were scattered everywhere, and the distance between him and the empty earthen drum camp was between thirty and fifty miles, and the closest distance after the scouts were released was three miles away.

The Koji Yi in the Tugu camp had not been on the road for seven days, and even he himself was not sure whether it made sense to do so. Even the generals who have been on the battlefield know that unless they carefully avoid all the enemy scouts, the soldiers and horses on both sides will basically be exposed to the enemy's scouts, not to mention that after Xu Huang and Liyan led the troops away, the Koji Yi Department also specially warned the scouts not to take the initiative to attack, and leave all the opportunities to the enemy scouts.

What he wanted was to completely expose his camp to Yuan Shang's eyes, in order to let Yuan Shang find out the truth and muster up courage. He only had 8,000 sergeants in the battalion, which was a lot if compared to an ordinary lieutenant, and even if he commanded troops and horses in an official position such as a general in the north. But in the face of the former army imprisoned by Yuan Shang, it is not enough to see, it is far behind!

As far as Lu Yi knows, Yuan Shang's troops have no less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and this is still when there has been no increase in troops in Xuzhou in the south recently...... Not everyone is as wealthy as Yuan Shao, who can reorganize a digging battalion, and three thousand military schools specialize in earthwork!

It's interesting to think about it, Yuan Shao has a digging lieutenant, Cao Cao has a blonde mound, and Yanbei also has an iron prison who specializes in supporting craftsmen. To put it bluntly, the top people in the world have realized that craftsmen can play a more or less role in the future.

Lu Yi's situation can not be said to be dangerous, but he can only use himself as bait, whether the southward attack will help him break through the Yuan army. If nothing else, let's just say that a trench of more than 40 miles has been dug on a battlefield dozens of miles wide, can this kind of thing be done by a human being? Lu Yi asked himself, if it was him, even if the so-called digging battalion was his subordinates' cronies, digging up such terrain would be enough for him to praise.

The wooden fortifications of the trench were cultivated into a pocket, leaving only a battle line a dozen miles wide enough for horses to cross, and if he saw this alone, I am afraid that Lu Yi would not hesitate to order the cavalry to attack...... More than ten miles, enough for tens of thousands of cavalry, including the Huns, to rush left and right, Qingzhou, which lacks horses, and Yuan Shang's cavalry are at most thousands, even if all of them are used to fight hard, they are not the opponents of Lu Yi, but Lu Yi knows not only so little.

Qingzhou soldiers know how to use spears and halberds, a Jizhou knight can overturn two Qingzhou soldiers without being defeated, but a thousand-man cavalry formation cannot break through the defense of the Qingzhou thousand-man team in narrow terrain, let alone the hundreds of stone cannons! In the past, Yanbei used stone cannons in the north to make a fortune, and destroyed the high walls of the Susheng Bone City, causing the Goguryeo warriors, who were known for their ferocity, to hide behind the city pass and shiver and be killed.

When these terrifying weapons smashed on the road of the Yan warriors' charge, the effect was the same, no matter how brave you were a warrior or a strong horse, hundreds of dozens of pounds of boulders flew up and fell overhead, all of them were so frightened that the whole body trembled, in the beginning of the engagement, Lu Yi saw those brave knights more than once because of the frightened horses and ran back to the camp, and some soft-footed shrimp watched the robe Ze was crushed by the boulder in a blink of an eye and urinated directly on the battlefield, which was very embarrassing.

It's better to be embarrassed than to die on the spot, they are lucky. Some people lack courage and do not dare to fight bravely in the sky full of flying stones, and die; Some, lacking in luck, were frightened and rode straight into the enemy's line or trench, and then disappeared in an instant; There were others who had both courage and luck and could not stop him from rushing at the enemy, and the robe behind him was struck by a stone, taking his life, but he was all right; He managed to avoid so many arrows and feathered arrows, and picked up a life in the pile of dead, but when he opened his eyes and looked at the enemy in front of him, he couldn't help but pause with the weapon in his hand.

Unconsciously, no robe beside him could break through the enemy blockade, only him. But how can a lone knight face the enemy's thousands of Qingzhou soldiers armed with spears and halberds? When even was stabbed into a sieve by a spear halberd.

To dodge the stone cannons, the strong bows and crossbows, and the uncomfortable trenches, Lu Yi had only one choice, forcing Yuan Shang to emerge from his heavy turtle shell, and the two sides fought in the same place and time...... Lu Yi believed that if such a goal could be achieved, Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses would definitely not be his opponents.

"The art of war is cloudy, attacking it must be defended, and Koji chooses to defend it!"

The current Tugu camp is a must-attack for Yuan Shang, but Lu Yi is not sure whether Yuan Jun has taken the bait!

This kind of waiting made him more and more anxious, for ten days, Yuan Shang was more calm than Lu Yi imagined, until the eleventh day, a light rain fell from the sky, the light rain turned into a storm in the evening, the heat subsided in a blink of an eye, and the tent stared at the sound of tinkling raindrops, and a soldier entered the tent, full of joy: "General, Yuan's army has approached ten miles." ”

Bang!

Lu Yi's fist slammed into the case, and the third son of the Yuan family was finally willing to deign to come! He looked out of shape in a thick voice and said, "Who is the banner?" ”

"Jiang Ziqi, it should be Jiang Qi, the general of the Yuan family, two Lu Ziqi, I don't know who the subordinates are."

"Don't care who they are, the herald camp is on guard, send people to Liangqing Valley from the north of the camp, and order Xu Huang to lead the army to come to the rescue." Lu Yi stood up and put on his armor, and said coldly: "This time, let's all stay in Jinan!" ”

Originally, Lu Yi and Xu Huang had an agreement that when they knew the movements of Yuan's army, they would change the color of the flag in the camp, and Xu Huang's scouts could see it three miles away, so they would immediately gallop back to inform Xu Huang, but the current storm changed this plan, and Xu Huang's scouts couldn't see so far in the rain, and at the same time, they also lost the easiest signal transmission between them. But Lu Yi can't sit still, he must hold on until Xu Huang leads the troops, otherwise his less than 10,000 soldiers will still have no chance of defeating Yuan Shang even if he has a complete camp, and only by attacking from outside the two roads can he barely match the Yuan family in terms of troops, and then he can take this opportunity to defeat the Yuan family and defeat Jinan!

In the roaring pouring rain, Lu Yi walked out of the camp tent with a strong crossbow, and listened to the raindrops the size of beans falling on the armor, and his heart was like water. A few miles away from what he couldn't see, more than a dozen Yuan soldiers and horses were rapidly assembling towards the camp in all directions, and their morale was like a rainbow with only one goal...... Yan's Earthen Drum Camp!
