Gu Jun's long-prepared "Grain Robbery" operation happened to start at this time.

After a period of reconnaissance, he basically determined that two legions of his army's Zhongbei Route Army had entered Nanguo County, and there was one legion stationed in Beipingzhou and guarding the baggage, and the 21st Army had the opportunity to destroy the baggage camp of his army.

So he made an agreement with Jin Man, the 22nd Army Corps was responsible for tracking his own army in Nanguo County, and the 21st Army Corps was responsible for sneaking into Beiping Prefecture for a sneak attack. As a result, on the evening of 9 February, he had just crossed the border and ran head-on into his own army, which was in ambush.

This unit was withdrawn by Kyunghyun from Namgukook County.

Jing Xuan was not sure of the danger of Ding Kui's troops, and decided to return to the border to wait and see, and he guessed that Jin Man's troops might attack his grain storage land, so the soldiers went to two places to ambush in two ways.

Both troops rushed to the battle without being prepared, and at the beginning, Gu Jun's troops had a slight upper hand, and when Jing Xuan's other ambush troops arrived, Gu Jun had to order to withdraw from the battlefield.

Where would Jing Xuan let go of an opponent with less than 50,000 people, and urged his subordinates to chase after him closely.

In the dark, the Shaodian army was unfamiliar with the terrain and misoriented, and when they retreated, they did not go north but ran to the southeast, but went deep into their own territory.

The own army knew the direction, Jing Xuan was a little puzzled at first, wondering if the Shaodian army was in ambush, and did not get too close in the chase.

When the sky gradually brightened, both armies reacted that Gu Junbu had taken the wrong path!

But there was a mistake, and the 21st Army ran into the 20th Army.

The two Shaodian armies almost fought when they met in a foreign country, but fortunately, the two legions had stayed in Nannuma Prefecture together, and there were always people who knew each other, Gu Jun and Yi Sheng also came to the front of the team in time, and it was confirmed that the friendly army had successfully met.

Gu Jun received reinforcements and immediately turned around and counterattacked, and the Shaodian army and his own army started a big battle in a place called White Meadow.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses set up a formation on the plain, more than 2,000 magicians bombarded each other in the sky, and the entire white meadow seemed to tremble.

Almost every part of the Shaodian army has experienced such battles, and in the engagements, they are brave and calm, and their own army is defeated and retreated.

Their own army had the advantage of strength in the air, but most of the new recruits in the army made them very nervous, and they were at a disadvantage until noon.

Since it was a local battle, Jing Xuan could order nearby cities to send reinforcements, and he could transfer the remaining three army corps in the north to help in the battle.

As the fierce battle dragged on in the evening, reinforcements from all walks of life continued to join the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness brought by the numerical superiority slowly turned the tide of the war.

The strength of his own army has increased to about 300,000, squeezing the front of the Shaodian army from two directions, and the Shaodian army is forced to switch from offensive to defensive.

"Commander Gu, if you continue to fight like this, the enemy's advantage will become greater and greater, why don't we retreat to Nanguo County first?" Yi Sheng shouted to the sky.

He and Gu have a clear division of labor, Gu Jun commands the magicians in the sky, and he commands the ground forces.

Whew, Gu Jun descended to Yi Sheng's side and whispered: "Let's hold on a little longer, it's going to be dark soon, it's not good for offense, it's suitable for us to defend."

Jin Man was originally responsible for tracking the enemy forces on the opposite side, but if he was not here at the moment, he should act elsewhere, the more enemy troops we contained, the easier it would be for them to succeed. ”

"Okay, then hold on until the evening, and the night will cover our withdrawal from the battlefield. ”

"Thank you Brother Yi for your support! it won't be difficult for you to go back to the war zone, right?" Gu Jun knew that Yi Sheng could completely leave him alone.

Different theaters of operations have different combat missions, and there is no such thing as anyone who should cooperate with whom.

"I'm here to cooperate with you. Yi Sheng had the opportunity to tell Gu Jun.

"The enemy army in Jiangzhou will not take advantage of the situation to attack Nannumazhou. ”

"It's okay! The Eighth Legion is guarding it for me. ”

Jiang Zhi's purpose in abandoning Shanxi City was to retreat to Nanping County, and he did not plan to ambush Daigu, the reason was to free up the 20th Army Corps to support the Zhongwangzhou Theater across the border.

"I see, we won't go back if we don't stir up chaos in our country this time!" Gu Jun perked up.

Since his country tore his face and attacked the Shaodian country, as a soldier of the Shaodian country, he naturally did not miss the opportunity to destroy his own country.

Jin Man lived up to Gu Jun's expectations.

There was such a big movement in the White Meadow, how could the 22nd Army Corps that followed Jing Xuan's department not know that Jin Man learned that Gu Jun was Yi Sheng's response, and he was not in a hurry to join the battlefield, but instead went against the direction of his own country's reinforcements.

Beiping Prefecture is close to Nanguo County is Ji'an County, and the Xiong'an City road in the southwest of the county extends in all directions, which belongs to the important city leading to Shaodian Kingdom.

Now the 21st and 22nd Divisions of the Central North are stationed in Xiong'an City, responsible for guarding a large number of baggage, and the 20,000 horses were not mobilized at the height of the White Meadow War.

According to the scout's report and the news he had discovered before, Jin Man deduced that Xiong'an City was a grain land, and immediately waved his army to Xiong'an City.

The 21st and 22nd Divisions in the Central and Northern China had a large proportion of veterans, and the vigilance and defensive measures were in place.

The vanguard of the 22nd Army Corps failed to make a sneak attack, and several strong attacks were repulsed by the stubborn own troops, thus giving Xiong'an time to defend the city.

Jin Man led the main force to Xiong'an City, and what he saw was a city surrounded by flames.

Xiong'an City does not have a moat, but there is a deep ditch that surrounds the entire city, and a large amount of flammable materials are stored in the deep ditch.

When the battle is about to go, as long as a small amount of oil is poured and a fire is lit, a moat can be formed.

The moat fire ditch can be burned for three days and three nights at a time, and once it is lit, it is difficult to extinguish, and it is difficult for people outside to attack it, and it is inconvenient for people inside to come out. Normally, until the moment of crisis, Xiong'an City will not use this defense facility.

"No wonder the commander of the enemy army dared to transfer the troops nearby, and actually chose such a place to store food. Jin Man sighed at the fire ditch.

However, the actions of the 22nd Army still disrupted Jing Xuan's tactics, and he couldn't save the heavy grain, but the current enemy couldn't solve it in a short time.

After weighing it repeatedly, Jing Xuan decided to go back and save Xiong'an City first.

So he ordered the attack to be stopped after nightfall, leaving one legion to keep an eye on Gu Jun and Yi Shengbu, and the others rushed to Xiong'an City overnight.

Gu Jun could sense the changes in his own army, and immediately discussed with Yi Sheng, "The enemy army has a large number of troops transferred, and the rest should not be able to threaten us." ”

"But it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and it is better to wait until tomorrow when there may be new changes in the enemy army, so it is better for us to move to a safe place. "Yi Sheng did not let his guard down.

"I know this, our purpose of the battle has been exposed, we will fight if we can win, we will withdraw if we can't win, and we will not engage in unnecessary entanglement with the enemy. What are your plans? Do you want to go to Zhongwangzhou to fight the rebels?" Gu Jun had no intention of pulling the 20th Army Corps to continue to fight his own country.

"No, I didn't receive an order to cross the war zone, so I can only help you contain your own army. ”
