In Chuzhou, the army led by Lu Fei has been stationed here for five days. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to Xiao Ming's order, he was going to besiege Chuzhou now but not attack, attracting the army of the King of Wei to come to the rescue to make Jinling City empty, so as to prepare for Ye Qingyun to take Jinling City in one fell swoop.

"General, the horse traps around the camp have been dug." Bai Mu walked into the camp at this time and said.

After Pengzhou City, the terrain of Wei was basically flat, and now their camp was camped on a flat map, and the surrounding area was very empty, which was extremely easy to be targeted by cavalry.

Therefore, after being stationed, Lu Fei asked the soldiers to dig a horse trap to prevent the raid of the cavalry of the King of Wei.

Now that he is getting deeper and deeper into the hinterland of Wei, Lu Fei's spirit is also nervous, because he knows that King Wei's personal soldiers still haven't appeared, and these soldiers are the real trump cards of King Wei.

These armies include 30,000 cavalry, 8,000 musketeers, and a huge number of traditional cold weapon troops.

After all, even he can't guarantee victory in this situation, which is why he is so cautious.

After Bai Mu finished reporting, at this time, a scout in charge of reconnaissance hurriedly entered the camp, and he said to Lu Fei: "General, another 30,000 cavalry is rushing towards Chuzhou City, and at the same time, there are a large number of infantry behind the cavalry, the number is about 100,000. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Fei's face turned green, and he comforted himself: "Bai Mu, have you seen it, this time we are the main task, which shows that His Highness trusts the general very much, Ye Qingyun's weight is not enough, he can only do something sneaky." ”

Bai Mu rolled his eyes, and he said, "General, this time the King of Wei seems to be preparing to fight with us, and the only cavalry in Wei has been sent. ”

"What are you afraid of, didn't Ben dig a trench and trap a horse pit?" Lu Fei said.

While the two were talking, the gate of Chuzhou City suddenly opened, and then a group of infantry dressed in armor, holding a shield in their left hand and a horizontal sword in their right hand poured out of the city gate.

These soldiers were followed by archers dressed in green lining, and as soon as they left the city, they formed a battle formation, and at this time, each soldier had a serious expression.

The abnormal movement of the Chuzhou defenders attracted the attention of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and at this time, Lu Fei walked out of the camp tent, picked up the binoculars, and looked at the Chuzhou Army seven hundred meters away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the defenders of Chuzhou have been closed for many days without fighting, and today they suddenly put on a battle formation, it seems that the King of Wei is really preparing to fight a tough battle with us in Chuzhou this time."

Luo Xin also came over at this time and said: "General, this time Chuzhou is bound to be deceitful, although the King of Wei is incompetent, but there are still some excellent generals in Wei, and this battle cannot be taken lightly." ”

Lu Fei pondered for a while, and he said, "Are they going to use the human wall to resist the guns, and the archers will shoot us after approaching us?" ”

"Well, what the general said makes sense, the battle of Pengzhou and the battle of Huaizhou have figured out the range and power of our firearms, and this time they may have a way to deal with it." Luo Hong said.

Lu Fei nodded, "But they also underestimate our firearms too much, let the soldiers line up, Luo Xin, and exchange grapes." ”

"Yes." The people took the command and departed.

At this time, Xiao Han and Chen Wei, the governor of Chuzhou, stood on the city wall, looked at Xiao Han, the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and said, "Has the Southern Expeditionary Army not attacked?" ”

Chen Wei said: "Your Royal Highness, the last general thinks that they are besieging but not attacking in order to contain the armies of Jinling City and other states, and the really dangerous army may be the army of Yangzhou. ”

"Jinling City is impregnable, Yangzhou and Tongzhou are isolated, they are too late to defend the city, how can they attack Jinling City?" Xiao Leng said with a smile.

Chen Wei's face was a little embarrassed, and he said; "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, this is by no means an alarmist general, this King of Qi has always used troops unconventionally, and he will not take risks."

Xiao Han was a little impatient, he didn't want to fight at all, but this time the King of Wei was stunned, let him personally lead the troops to support Chuzhou City, and let him be responsible for defeating the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Lu Fei.

"Needless to say, Jinling City has a father in charge, and there will be no mistakes, now let's think about how to solve the current Southern Expeditionary Army, otherwise we will not be able to explain it to our father."

Chen Wei replied, he looked at the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army and said: "The strength of the Southern Expeditionary Army lies in firearms, and the infantry is very disadvantaged in the battle, so the last general is ready to adopt a mixed attack of infantry and archers, and at the same time the strategy of cavalry raid to defeat the Southern Expeditionary Army." ”

"This time, I brought 30,000 elite cavalry, plus the local garrison and 100,000 soldiers, it should be no problem to deal with them." Xiao Han asked.

"If you work it well, there should be no problem." Chen Wei pondered for a moment, "But the last general thinks it's best not to take the initiative to attack." ”

Xiao Han said, "Do you think I want to? Father is like crazy now, let me defeat the Southern Expeditionary Army this time, kill Xiao Ming's sharp spirit, and stop the war with war, hey. ”

Chen Wei's expression was a little gloomy when he heard this, even if the Southern Expeditionary Army only had forty or fifty thousand people, he didn't believe that King Wei's army could defeat Xiao Ming, because there was no comparison between soldiers in terms of morale.

For him, these soldiers and horses were more than enough to defend the city and not enough to attack.

It's just that since Xiao Han gave the order, he could only bite the bullet, but he hadn't given the order yet, and at this time, the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army came out of the camp and came to the city gate.

At this time, Luo Hong led the soldiers from the three-meter-wide passage road on the trench to run towards the gate of Chuzhou City, these trenches they dug were not coherent, every 100 meters there were three meters of undug places, these places were guarded by foot soldiers, in order to concentrate troops to annihilate the cavalry, after analysis, Lu Fei believed that the purpose of the Chuzhou army was to use the infantry as a human wall, the archers were consumed, and finally the cavalry attacked by attacking.

Therefore, after deliberation, they decided to adopt the strategy of luring the cavalry out of the city by deceit, and severely defeated the cavalry in Chuzhou.

The 700-meter road was not far for the soldiers, and Luo Hong led 10,000 soldiers to form a phalanx and slowly advance.

As they advanced, there were more and more infantry outside the city of Chuzhou, and they were divided into three parts, left, center, and right, neatly opposite them. "The Southern Expeditionary Army also looks down on people too much, does 10,000 people want to defeat us?" Xiao Han sneered, this time they sent 20,000 infantry, and the 30,000 cavalry in the city had been assembled, ready to rush out of the city gate to face the battle, seeing the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army who were gradually moving away from the camp, he showed a cruel smile, in his opinion, the generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army were nothing more than that.
