"The Fangcheng Order has an order to order the soldiers of each army and battalion to stop besieging the Qin army outside the city immediately. Our army has won a complete victory tonight!"

"The Fangcheng Order has an order..."

In an instant, Meng Zhong's order spread to all the Wei army outside the city, making these old soldiers and new soldiers very puzzled.

Because in their opinion, the Wei army had not yet caused a serious battle against the Qin army outside the city, that is, the 20,000 Qin army under the command of Qin general Jin Kuang, and how could it have "a great victory"?

For example, Deng Shu, who had just joined Fangcheng for a few months, was very puzzled by this.

So he couldn't help asking the messenger who came to pass the orders and asked, "Brother, aren't we ambushing the Qin army tonight? But the Qin army outside the city has not been defeated yet, so why did it win a great victory?"

Perhaps because they learned that they had gained a great advantage, the messengers were in a good mood, so one of them smiled and said, "Who told you that the Qin army was ambushing the Qin army tonight?... When the Qin and Chu army mistakenly thought that our army would fight with them tonight, the cavalry in our city had already sneaked into their camp and burned the food and grass of the Qin and Chu army..."

"Cabinets, cavalry? They attacked the food and grass of the Qin and Chu coalition forces?" Deng Shu and the new soldiers nearby were shocked.

"hey-hey."

The messengers laughed strangely, and then someone urged him: "Okay, retreat quickly into the city. The Qin army has not yet reacted yet. When they learn that their camp was attacked by our city, they will inevitably be angry and ashamed to attack our army. If you don't want to lose your life, retreat quickly into the city and do not delay!"

After saying that, the messengers walked away quickly.

Looking at the backs of these messengers leaving, Deng Shu still couldn't calm down his shock.

Like all the new soldiers beside him, he originally thought that tonight was a decisive battle between the Qin army, even if it was not a decisive battle, it would be at least a fierce confrontation. Who made Fang Cheng order, with the Sima of Fang Cheng, speak in front of all the new soldiers and old soldiers of Fang Cheng, and use words such as "Fangcheng, Ye Yi is our hometown, we must fight to the death to resist the Qin army" to motivate the soldiers in the army, which made the soldiers in Fang Cheng think that they would fight to the death with the Qin army tonight.

But unexpectedly, before this was too late, the battle ended.

How to say it, I was a little disappointed.

According to the order, Deng Shu and other new soldiers retreated to the west gate of Fangcheng and lined up to enter the city slowly from the gate.

During this period, he vaguely heard soldiers in the team making fun of each other.

"Ah? Regret? Hahahaha, I was so scared that I was almost wet with my pants. Now you told me that I haven't killed enough yet?"

"Shut up, shut up! Who is so scared that she is almost wetting her pants? I'm excited..."

"Excitedly unable to control his big bird?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Wei soldiers nearby also burst into laughter.

『This voice…』

Deng Shu raised his feet and looked around for a few times, shouting in front: "Zhu Yi? Is it Zhu Yi?"

“Hmm?”

In the team, the soldier who had made fun of the new soldiers turned his head and saw Deng Shu who was waving to him with the help of the torch light, and walked towards him.

Zhu Yi was Tongze when Deng Shu used to serve in Li County. At that time, both of them had been involved in the positions of two Sima, namely, the general who managed twenty-five soldiers. Later, after Li County was captured, Deng Shu and Zhu Yi and others fled to Rang County. However, later Zhu Yi first defected to Fangcheng, while Deng Shu was for Deng County's mother and younger brother. This also made Deng Shu join Fangcheng Army much later than Zhu Yi, so that Zhu Yi has become the chief officer now, while Deng Shu is just a sergeant.

Of course, Zhu Yi was not the lucky one among the old acquaintances Deng Shu knew. The lucky guy was named Cai Tong. Fang Cheng, who joined Zhu Yi, was selected some time ago. He turned into a cavalry and made Deng Shu and Zhu Yi so envious.

"That kid Cai Tong has a long face this time."

After chatting with Zhu Yi for a few words, Deng Shu said with some envy.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yi was stunned when he heard this: "What do you say?"

"Don't you know?" Deng Shu said strangely: "Didn't he sneak attack the camps of the Qin and Chu armies with several army Sima?"

"Ah?" Zhu Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "You talk about this. The tiger cavalry who sneaked into the camps of Qin and Chu army. What does it have to do with that boy Cai Tong?"

"Tiger Cavalry? You said that the only one of the old cavalrymen who sneaked into the camps of the Qin and Chu army this time was the only one who was the tiger cavalry?" Deng Shu couldn't hide his shock: "Aren't they only about a thousand people?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said in a tone of contempt and longing: "Then they were the cavalry who were born in Wei Wuzhang, and they had killed the Qin army in the Battle of Yique. They were not comparable to ordinary soldiers..."

Deng Shu nodded thoughtfully.

The most important cavalry in Fangcheng today is the tiger cavalry, namely the three cavalry that were directly controlled by Sima Meng Hu, Hua Hu and Mu Wu. Although the cavalry under the Sima of Muwu often call themselves "wu cavalry", the soldiers of Fangcheng are still accustomed to using tiger cavalry to refer to these three cavalry with only more than 300 people.

Compared with this Tiger Cavalry Battalion, the newly recruited and trained 5,000 cavalry are much inferior to those in the army. Although there are also many generals and officials from Wei Wuzhang led the team, their overall average strength is indeed a bit far from that of the Tiger Cavalry.

According to Deng Shu learned from Cai Tong that the old cavalrymen of the Tiger Cavalry could easily knock off the new cavalry in the cavalry battalion, even if their weapons and armor were actually almost the same.

As they chatted, the two of them changed their topic from cavalry to the war tonight.

In Zhu Yi's words, the fight with the Qin army tonight was simply a slight slight end. Take him as an example. Before he could kill the third Qin soldiers, a messenger came to announce the order to retreat, which made him unsatisfied.

However, the new soldiers in the army who had never killed anyone had gained good battlefield experience tonight. Some of the new soldiers even managed to kill one or two Qin soldiers by chance, and passed the most difficult level of the new soldiers' entry into the battlefield in one fell swoop, and the process during this period was very easy.

"Qin army, is it that weak?" Zhu Yi couldn't help but express his opinion to Deng Shu.

Hearing this, Deng Shu shook his head and corrected: "I'm afraid the Qin army is not weak, but we have occupied a favorable form..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the Fang Cheng Order.

He knew very well that the Qin army that rushed to the outside of the city tonight was obviously ineffective. If the Qin soldiers who attacked Li County were used as the measure, then the Qin soldiers tonight would not even be able to exert half of their strength.

The reason is very simple, because from the beginning, a situation of "fighting less with more" was formed in the other side of the city. With tens of thousands of Wei troops to help increase the momentum, the Qin soldiers lost their fighting spirit and were then surrounded by the army of their city and were attacked from all sides.

Although Deng Shu had not read any military books, he also knew that it was amazing that Fang Cheng Order could use his strategy to make him have such an advantage in the Wei army.

But what I never expected was that even so, Fang Cheng was still just a feint attack. The real purpose of the Fang Cheng Order was to attack the camps of the Qin and Chu armies.

"What a terrible scheming..."

Deng Shu was secretly shocked about this.

At this time, he finally understood why Bai Qi, the Qin general who did not even give face to Xijun Jinghao, ordered the Qin army to attack several cities such as Li County without hesitation, would sell his face to Meng Zhong, the chief general of Fangcheng.

I remember that the veteran Wei Zuo laughed at that time that the commander of the Qin army was afraid of their city orders. Deng Shu still asked questions about this, but now if you think about it carefully, this statement may not be unreasonable.

However, when Deng Shu felt quite at ease when he thought of this Fang Chengling who was terrible scheming, he was now the head coach on their side.

At this time, several more commanders came to convey the order: "There is an order in Fangcheng. Before the Qin army retreated, the soldiers of the army temporarily rested in the city and supported the city wall at any time. When the Qin army retreated, they would distribute wine and food to reward the entire army!"

“Oh oh oh!”

When the Wei soldiers heard this, they all raised their arms and cheered.

In fact, most of them are not sure why they won a complete victory inexplicably, but they do not reject such victory at all.

Who doesn’t like the victory of our own side?

Yes, although the Wei army in Fangcheng is so powerful, in fact, neither the Wei army nor the Qin army under the command of Qin general Jin Kuang, there were actually no major casualties.

Now, after the Wei army in Fangcheng retreated, Jin Kuang immediately counted the entire army, and then he realized that he had only lost more than 4,000 people under his command.

To be fair, the casualties of more than 4,000 people are not small, but considering that the 20,000 Qin troops under Jin Kuang had been surrounded by tens of thousands of Fangcheng Army, and the tens of thousands of Fangcheng Army also took the stance of annihilation of their entire army, the casualties of more than 4,000 Qin troops are actually not serious, at least much better than the total annihilation of the entire army.

By the way, when the Wei army in Fangcheng retreated on a large scale, Qin general Jin Kuang also thought of the reason: it must be that the National Guard Sima Cuo led reinforcements to arrive, so Fangcheng immediately withdrew his troops.

Therefore, he also tried to lead the Qin soldiers under his command to pursue the Wei army, trying to bite the Wei army's retreating tail, making it difficult for him to retreat into the city smoothly.

But unfortunately, the Qin soldiers under his command were scared by the Wei army before, and because of the obstruction of his vision at night, the Qin soldiers shrank and did not dare to pursue them.

What's even more hateful is that when the Wei army retreated into the city, it set fire to ignite the rice in the farmland outside the city, causing a large number of Qin soldiers to be blocked by the fire, and forced the Qin generals to give up pursuing the Wei army.

After thinking about it, Jin Kuang had to stop Sima first.

At the same time, Sima Cuo also saw the fire in the farmland outside Fangcheng City, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Of course, the reason why he looked ugly was not because he discovered that Fang Cheng had burned rice in the farmland outside the city, but because he had discovered that his Qin and Chu coalition camp had been attacked.

It was discovered by his guard. His guard discovered the fire that soared into the sky behind him and quickly reported to Sima Cuo.

At that time, Sima Cuo looked back and said, okay, the direction where the fire light appeared was the direction of his main business of the Qin and Chu coalition forces?

At this time, how could he not understand Meng Zhong’s intention?

『I've been trapped...』

With this awakening, Sima Cuo's expression also became extremely ugly.

Meng Zhong, who mistakenly thought that Fangcheng could not help but prepare to confront them head-on, mobilized troops to bring 20,000 Qin troops and tens of thousands of Chu troops to fight. Unexpectedly, the other party just shot and burned the main camp of the Qin and Chu coalition forces while he was unprepared.

What's even more hateful is that before retreating, the Wei army on Fangcheng also burned the rice in the nearby farmland, which made Sima chou steal chickens without eroding the rice. Not only did he not plan to Meng Zhong according to his original expectations, but instead, Meng Zhong earned his own camp.

This was a heavy blow to Sima Cuo, who had been in the military for half his life.

"Hey! I'm telling you to underestimate the enemy, I've suffered a big loss this time, right?"

After glanced at Sima Cuo with a gloomy face, Qin general Bai Qi sneered in his heart.

To be fair, Bai Qi did not expect that Meng Zhong would make a huge noise in Fangcheng. His purpose was to divert the attention of his Qin army in order to sneak attack his Qin and Chu coalition's main business, which means that even if Bai Qi was in charge of the army, he would most likely suffer losses in Meng Zhong's hands.

But even so, it would not prevent Bai Qi from looking at Sima Cuo with a gloating mood. Who made Sima Cuo say that Fangcheng was vulnerable before?

Is the Wei general Meng Zhong, who has defeated him Bai Qi, the kind of enemy general who can be defeated casually? Who are you Sima Chou underestimating?!

At the moment, seeing Sima Cuo being tricked by Meng Zhong, Bai Qi felt really relieved.

As for the other side, Zhaoju's mood is more complicated than Bai Qi.

He knew that his Chu army's camp was also attacked by the Wei army, and he believed that the Chu soldiers in the camp also suffered considerable casualties, but in comparison, he was more inclined to see him that the Qin and Chu coalition forces were frustrated on Fangcheng. After all, in his heart, he is still in conflict with assisting the Qin State to attack Wei and Han State.

It must be said that both deputy generals have ulterior motives, and Sima Chou is considered a big trouble.
