Chapter 261: Five Wins and Five Defeats
When Shi Min heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the troops to the north and block the Yan soldiers from going south. ”
"Hahaha! Okay, it's up to you to reinforce Youzhou, don't worry, go quickly! Shi Hu stretched out his hand and waved it, signaling Shi Min to retreat.
"The last general will take his leave." Shi Min bowed his hand slightly, turned to leave.

Outside the east gate of Shicheng, the 30,000 horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army have lined up in formation, ready to defeat Kui'an's besieging army from the front, and Kui'an's main force is also ready, and the two sides are facing each other 500 paces apart, and the battle is about to break out.
In front of the Zhao army, Kui An and a group of generals rode their horses to stand at the front of the military formation, carefully observing the movements of the Jin army on the opposite side.
"General, the commander of the Jin army turned out to be a teenage hairy child, and our army will win this battle."
"That's right, the Jin State sent a stinky child to lead the army, how can it be undefeated."
The subordinates under Kui'an's command bullied Hua'an at a young age, and they all looked confident.
Kui An raised his eyes and looked ahead, the Jin army was in a strict formation, the banner was clear, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said: "You must not underestimate the enemy, the Jin army is in a neat formation, and its commander must be a person who knows how to strategy and is good at leading troops, how can he be aged." ”
When the generals under his command heard this, they all secretly laughed at Kui'an's cowardice, after all, the victory along the way overwhelmed their minds, and in their hearts, the Jin army was a weak and vulnerable pawn.
Kui An looked at the big banner with the word 'Hua' on the opposite side, frowned and said: "Hua'an, why is this name so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere." ”
"General, in the Battle of Changli last year, the 1,000 Jin troops besieged by our army in the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves, its commander is Hua'an, I don't know if the Jin general in front of me is alone." One of the generals replied.
"Oh, it's him." Kui Anxin was slightly startled.
Thinking that at the beginning, 1,000 men and horses under Hua'an were trapped in the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves, and he sent nearly 20,000 horses into the valley to encircle and suppress, but not only did not destroy the Jin army, but let his subordinates suffer heavy losses.
Then, the 1,000 subordinates who held the valley mouth were also slaughtered by Hua'an's 1,000 Jin army, and the most terrible thing was that Hua'an used a suspicious strategy to shake the heart of the Zhao army, and directly led the 100,000 Zhao army to a complete rout under the Great Thorn City.
"Last year, he was a young general who led 1,000 troops, but now he commands an army of 30,000, this Hua'an should not be underestimated!" Kui An couldn't help but sigh.

In front of the Jin army, Hua An and Wang San were also observing the enemy situation on the opposite side.
"Big brother, there is not much difference between the strength of the enemy and us, the enemy will be the famous general Kui An of Zhao State, does our army really want to attack from the front?" Wang San was a little worried.
"I'm afraid of a bird, I've been practicing hard for more than a year, for today, Wang San, if you are a soft egg, give me your position as a captive general, and I will take the lead." Iron Bull joked.
"Big brother, can I remember? When I was in the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves in Liaodong, it was this Kui'an, who sent nearly 20,000 horses, like a leper dog, to bite the back of our army. ”
"The two armies are five hundred paces apart, and now it's too late to retreat, so we can only fight to break the enemy." Zhao Wu naturally would not be afraid to fight.
After listening to the statements of the four people, Hua An smiled lightly and said: "In this battle, our army has five victories, and the enemy army has five defeats, so our army will win, and the enemy army will be defeated." ”
"Five wins, five defeats." All four expressed disunderstanding.
Hua An looked at the four of them and explained: "First, our army fought for the first time, and its vigor was at its peak, while the enemy army fought from the north of Jingzhou to Shicheng, which can be said to be a veteran soldier of the division who was tired and exhausted. Second, our army is in front of the enemy, and can fight wholeheartedly, but the enemy army has to worry about the 5,000 troops in the city behind them, and the thorns are behind, how can they meet the enemy with all their strength. Third, the city was occupied and the people were humiliated, and the officers and men of our army all had the idea of revenge and blood hatred, and the mourning soldiers were bound to win, while the enemy army was like a broken bamboo, and the arrogance was very heavy. Fourth, the officers and men of our army love the people and are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and the enemy army humiliates the people, and even feeds on the people, and becomes an unrighteous soldier. Fifth, the time of heaven helps me, at this time, the east wind is strong, our army goes out to fight with the wind, but the enemy army has to fight against the wind, how can it not be defeated. ”
"Big brother is big brother, and when you talk and laugh, you can see that our army has five victories and the enemy army has five defeats." Tie Niu hurriedly complimented.
"Big brother, since our army will win, what are you waiting for, attack!" Thunderstorm shouted for battle.
"Yes! Big brother, the sun rises in the east, and in half an hour, our army will be fighting against the light. Wang San also urged.
Hua An smiled indifferently and said: "What you said is good, but you also have to think about the five thousand defenders in the city, if you go out to fight at this time, the defenders in the city will be in a disadvantageous position to go out of the city to help the battle, and Li Yang, who is defending the city, is a famous general of the Jingzhou army, and his reputation is no longer under Mao Bao, he must not want to go out of the city immediately to fight, but wait for the sun to be in the south, and then go out of the city to help the war, during this period, our army will fight alone, and the casualties will not be small." ”
"Haha! It's still the eldest brother's thoughtfulness, if the reinforcements in the city are willing to help in the war, our army will definitely win. "Thunderstorm was overjoyed.
"Big brother, when I will attack, I will take the lead, I have been itching for months." Iron Bull begged.
"Why, big brother, our troops are all cavalry, and our cavalry should take the lead." Thunderstorm retorted.
Hua An stretched out his hand and waved, frowned and said: "Okay, don't make any noise, come here, send an order, notify the two generals on the left and right, two moments later, as long as you see me swinging forward, the whole army will attack and attack the enemy directly, there must be no mistake." ”
"Yes, General." The two heralds received the order and rode their horses to the left and right flanks of the army.

In front of the Zhao army, Kui An looked at the Jin army on the opposite side suspiciously, and said: "The sun is in the east, which is not good for our army and beneficial to the Jin army, but why hasn't the Jin army attacked yet, what are you waiting for?" ”
"General, General Jin is young, maybe he is scared and hesitating?"
"General, if the Jin army doesn't attack, our army will attack."
"General, the last general is willing to take the lead, and he will definitely capture Jin and sacrifice his majesty."
The generals expressed their stance one after another.
Kui An shook his head and said, "Don't worry, after five minutes, the sun will sink in the west, and it will not be too late for our army to attack again." ”
"The general is wise, after five moments, our army will definitely break the Jin army and offer the king Jie." Before the battle began, the generals of Zhao were already thinking about how to write good news.

On the tower of the east gate of Shicheng, Li Yangzheng, the Taishou of the Lingling, and several capable generals watched the two armies facing each other in the distance outside the city.
"Lord Li, the two armies outside the city have been facing each other for half an hour, why haven't they made a move yet?" One of the generals was puzzled.
