#1017 war

Yan Xing took the personal guard camp out of the city, rolled up a rush, and rushed towards Rencheng.

For a moment, Yuan Jun scouts near Rencheng seemed to have been stabbed in a hornet's nest and took action one after another. After the last lesson, Yuan Tan equipped these scouts with horses for transportation, and the message was transmitted much faster. As soon as Yan Xing was halfway through, Xin Pi received the message.

Xinpi was a little surprised when he heard that there were only cavalry and no infantry, but he quickly made a judgment: the cavalry was a feint attack, a false move to attract their attention. Even if these cavalry were elite, it would be difficult for them to break through well-prepared blocking positions and could not meet with Sun Ce. Sun Ce had a limited number of cavalry, so he would not use these precious cavalry to rush the infantry positions. This task could only be undertaken by the infantry, that is, Zhu Huan's troops.

Xinpi ordered the two blocking positions to be prepared and not act rashly, and ordered the battalions to strengthen their vigilance to prevent cavalry from attacking the battalions. If Yan Xing, as he expected, did not respond to Sun Ce, he could attack the battalion to relieve Sun Ce's pressure. However, this was not a bad thing, Xinpi was happy to see it. He still had nearly 30,000 people and more than 20 battalions. As long as each battalion was not in chaos, more than a thousand cavalry could not pose any threat.

Scouts ran back and forth, with news one after another, like whistling cavalry, making the atmosphere more and more tense. Each battalion closed the camp gates and was ready for battle. Only the scouts came in and out, as if they were shuttled through.

In the evening, as Xinpi expected, Yan Xing arrived outside the camp and began to intercept the Yuan army scouts frantically. Faced with these knights who came and went like the wind, the Yuan army scouts were no match for them. Although they fought hard, they still suffered heavy losses. They had to give up their periphery and retreat to the vicinity of the camp, relying on their military strength to form a battle, and provide early warnings for each battalion as much as possible.

The night fell, covering up the whereabouts of the cavalry. The generals of each battalion could not see the opponent, and could only estimate the location of Yan Xing based on the battles that occurred from time to time. If the scouts outside the camp were attacked violently, the camp would be wary, unsheathed the knife and rolled the arrows to prepare for battle. If the shouts outside the camp gradually subsided, the scouts would report safety and relax a little. Despite this, no one dared to take off his clothes and sleep, especially the camp on the outside.

Yuan Tan and Xin Pi were in the central army, a few miles away from the outermost camp, but they couldn't sleep. Yuan Tan's camp was brightly lit, and several giant maps were hung on racks. Xin Pi shuttled through different maps, marking the possible locations of the cavalry.

Yuan Tan's eyes followed him, both nervous and excited. There were more than 30,000 people in the camp, but less than 15,000 elite troops, and 10,000 of them were controlled by the former general Zhu Ling to monitor Sun Jian, which was impossible to move. Yuan Tan had only five thousand left, and the rest were some people with insufficient training level. It was okay to guard the camp, but it was a bit reluctant to attack, so night battles were even worse.

"There is little possibility of cavalry attacking the battalion, it is more like harassment, which makes us unable to rest." Xinpi finished a while and pinched his eyebrows. "Justice, you lie down for a while, I will hold on. If anything, I will call you again."

"No need, I can't sleep even if I lie down. It's better to talk to you." Yuan Tan refused Xinpi's suggestion. "I'm used to it, but I can hold on."

Xinpi nodded and gritted his teeth. "If you win this battle, you can be stable for a year or two. Hold on for a while. If Zhu Huan hasn't arrived tomorrow morning, we will attack Sun Ce. This time, even if he escapes into the swamp, we will find his body and we must not let him run away."

Yuan Tan smiled and agreed with Xin Pi's opinion, and asked someone to prepare some wine and food. There was a saying that they all knew, and there was no need to say it. If they lost, they could be unemployed all the time. So far, Yuan Shao had no reaction, but Yuan Tan could feel the cold eyes at all times. In this battle, he had used all the strength of Yanzhou. If he was defeated and was lucky enough to die, he could only get rid of his armor and return to the field.

Yan Xing personally rushed to Gaoping and handed Guo Jia's handwritten letter to the scout who was arranged outside the city by Man Chong. The scout took advantage of the night to row a boat and ventured upstream, and rushed to Sun Jian's camp at dawn.

After reading Guo Jia's handwritten letter, he learned that Sun Ce was surrounded near Wan'anting. Sun Jian weighed for a long time and tried to order the attack first several times, but he forced himself to hold back when he spoke. Although the plan was not formulated by Sun Ce, Guo Jia was Sun Ce's confidant and Sun Ce's most trusted strategist. His plan was Sun Ce's plan, which is trustworthy.

Sun Jian asked someone to find Qin Song, and Qin Song was also shocked, but like Sun Jian, he was confident in Guo Jia's plan.

After the two agreed, Sun Jian quickly summoned the generals to discuss matters and prepare for the attack. Because the time was too haste, it was not what Sun Jian had hoped before, and they faced a major problem: how to defend Sishui and block Feng Kai and his 20,000 people. If Feng Kai was allowed to cross Sishui and form a clamping force, it would be difficult for Sun Jian to hold on for too long.

After discussion, Lu Su took over this task. He would move the central army from Beidaying to cooperate with Zhu Zhi to ensure that Sun Jian is behind him and let Sun Jian and other troops attack Yuantan's camp without distraction.

When the sun rose, Zhu Huan led his troops to the west of Wan'an Pavilion.

He set out yesterday evening, thirty miles away, walked for a long time, then rested for an hour, let the soldiers eat something, replenish their energy, and reorganized their formation. Five miles ahead of him were 10,000 people from Lu Qian's troops who were ordered to block. Due to the interception of the cavalry of Yan Xing's troops, Yuan's scouts suffered heavy casualties, and the guard circle contracted greatly. It was not until Zhu Huan entered the ten-mile range that Lu Qian knew that the enemy was approaching.

At that moment, he was very nervous. Although he had 10,000 people, these 10,000 were ordinary county soldiers, and his combat effectiveness was very average. He was not sure whether he could stop Zhu Huan. When he learned that Zhu Huan was approaching, he thought Zhu Huan would immediately launch an attack and ordered the entire army to prepare for battle. Unexpectedly, Zhu Huan stopped five miles away, and stopped for an hour, and did not launch an attack until dawn.

With a false alarm, Lu Qian missed the time to have breakfast. The enemy was so close that he had no intention of arranging his subordinates to cook. After not sleeping all night, Yuan's soldiers were hungry and started fighting. Before the war started, they had a lot of complaints, so that the first batch of arrows shot were not neat and sparse, and their lethality was greatly reduced.

Zhu Huan could see clearly that before the soldiers who assaulted the two songs in front of him tore open Lu Qian's defense line, he immediately sent two songs to attack. Not only that, he also brought the strongest combat force to the front and was ready to attack at any time outside the range of Yuan's soldiers.

Zhu Huan's aggressiveness boosted morale. The four-curve infantry roared and rushed forward with Yuan's arrow formation. Under the illumination of the rising sun, the shields and weapons in their hands reflected cold light, which was dazzling, making the Yuan soldiers on the opposite side unable to open their eyes.

Lu Qian stood on the podium and looked at the battle formation opposite, and a strong sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

Behind Zhu Huan, he saw another general flag, a higher level than Zhu Huan, with a phoenix bird born from the fire on it. The flames rose and the golden light was shining, making people dare not look directly at it.
