Jiyin County, the capital of which is Dingtao, is located in the middle of Yanzhou. Since Cao Cao took over as the governor of Yanzhou, Jiyin has not suffered any military rebellion. Even the garrison stationed in Jiyin is the smallest among the counties in Yanzhou!
But just a month ago, the Western Qin Army suddenly sent troops to Yanzhou and captured the three counties of Chenjun, Chenliu, and Yingchuan one after another. At this time, Jiyin County became the front line of the confrontation between the two armies. Cao Cao also hurriedly moved his army.
Transferred to Jiyin for defense. Jiyin County was also panicked. In order to avoid the war, the people moved to other places to live. Fortunately, after the Western Qin Army captured the three counties of Chen County, it ceased its activities and never returned.
There was no intention to launch an attack on Jiyin County, which made the people who stayed in Jiyin feel a little relieved.
In fact, it's not just the people who feel at ease. As the governor of Jiyin County, Mao Jie can be said to be on pins and needles during this period. Although reinforcements dispatched from Dongjun and Jizhou have been stationed in Jiyin, Mao Jie has not participated in it.
Veterans of the Hangu Pass battle know very well how powerful the Western Qin army is! If Western Qin is really determined to go to war with Cao Wei, then with just this reinforcement, I'm afraid it still won't be able to stop Western Qin.
Iron cavalry.
However, as a minister, he naturally has to do his best to share the Lord's worries. Under Mao Jie's command, the defenders stationed in Jiyin kept changing their defense lines in order to prevent the Western Qin army from understanding Jiyin's defense layout.
Delay the defense a little longer.
Outside Dongming City, which is located in the northwest of Jiyin County, Chen Tai led the three thousand soldiers and horses behind him and slowly marched towards Dongming City. As the son of Chen Qun, an important minister of Cao Wei, Chen Tai came from a family of officials, but Chen
However, Tai chose to join the military. It is said that because of this, Chen Tai had a big fight with his father, Chen Qun. The father and son had a complete falling out and had not seen each other for several years!
But no matter what, Chen Qun only has a son like Chen Tai. Although Chen Qun openly refused to interfere in Chen Tai's affairs, he secretly asked several familiar generals in the army to help take care of Chen Tai.
On the one hand, Chen Tai himself works very hard, so at a young age, Chen Tai has already become a qualified warrior.
Originally, Chen Tai was stationed in Hedong. This time the Western Qin Army suddenly invaded Yanzhou. Chen Tai was also ordered to rush to Jiyin to assist in the garrison. Three days ago, Chen Tai followed Mao Jie's order and came to Dongming to change the defense. He rushed there.
After three days of traveling, even Chen Tai was a little tired. He looked up at Dongming City not far away. Chen Tai couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said to himself: "But I don't know what Xu Yun is doing."
Are you ready, kid?"
The Xu Yun mentioned by Chen Tai is the defender currently stationed in Dongming City. He and Chen Tai led troops from Hedong to support Jiyin, and they have been friends with Chen Tai for many years. When he thinks of Xu Yun, Chen Tai
His mood felt much better. Anyway, Mao Jie's order was for Chen Tai and Xu Yun to switch defenses. It didn't matter even if they were delayed for one night, so Chen Tai thought that he could have a good drink with Xu Yun tonight.
"General! Something is wrong!" Chen Tai was lowering his head and thinking about how to have a drink with his friends at night, but the soldier next to him suddenly shouted. Chen Tai couldn't help but was stunned, raised his head and looked at the soldier with doubts on his face.
Seeing that the soldier pointed directly at Dongming City, he said: "General! Look, the city gate is closed and there is no one at the top of the city. It seems a little weird!"
"Huh?" Hearing what the soldier said, Chen Tai frowned immediately and turned his head to look at the top of the city. Sure enough, everything was just as the soldier said, the gate of Dongming City was tightly closed.
There was no one on the top of the city, with only a few Cao Wei military flags hanging there. If it were anyone else, they might not notice anything, but Chen Tai's character is cautious, and he also knows Xu Yun very well.
Xu Yun was rigorous in his work and would never do something so sloppy! Immediately, Chen Tai's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly felt that something was not good. He immediately waved his hand, stopped the soldiers and horses behind him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Send the order."
The entire army is on alert!"
The soldiers and horses led by Chen Tai were all elite troops from Hedong. After receiving Chen Tai's order, three thousand soldiers immediately picked up their swords and shields, formed a square formation, and guarded Chen Tai's
Behind him, Chen Tai's expression was serious, staring closely at Dongming City in the distance. At this moment, Dongming City still didn't react at all, and it was still quiet. This somewhat strange atmosphere made Chen Tai even more suspicious, and he quickly
He observed the surrounding environment from left to right. At this moment, Chen Tai and the army behind him were staying on the official road, nearly twenty miles away from Dongming City, and there was a small forest on the left and right. Before that, Chen Tai was not aware of such terrain.
He didn't pay much attention to it, but now, Chen Tai felt that the groves on the left and right had a dangerous smell!
Just when Chen Tai was surprised, suddenly, there was a noise from the grove on the left. When Chen Tai looked up, he saw a few birds flying in the sky above the grove on the left! He saw those few birds.
Feiniao, Chen Tai was just stunned for a moment, and immediately his expression changed drastically, he turned his horse's head suddenly, and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Retreat! Retreat!" After saying that, he didn't care about that, and ran in the direction of the horse.
.
"Damn it! Do it!" Just before the Cao Wei soldiers on the official road could react, a loud shout rang out from the grove on the right. The next moment, countless arrows were shot from the grove on the left and right.
Madly pouring on the officers and soldiers of Cao Wei on the official road!
However, fortunately, Chen Tai had already ordered the entire army to be on alert, and all the soldiers reacted immediately and raised their shields to block the arrows. This resulted in less casualties! And Chen Tai, who had already run behind the phalanx,
He also shouted loudly: "Retreat! Don't mess up the formation! Retreat!"
Although Chen Tai came from a family of officials, he had lived and worked with the soldiers in Hedong over the years. The soldiers all admired Chen Tai. Therefore, although they encountered an ambush, under Chen Tai's command, the army still stabilized its formation.
, while relying on the shield to block the arrows from both sides, while slowly retreating backwards!
However, it was obvious that the enemy ambushing in the grove would not let Chen Tai escape so easily. In the grove that was originally quiet and empty, countless figures immediately appeared. In the grove on the right, people walked out
Dozens of people gathered, and the leader was none other than the Western Qin general Wang Shuang! Wang Shuang turned his head and shouted to a soldier behind him: "Send a signal to the city! Let them dispatch immediately!"
After hearing Wang Shuang's order, the soldier immediately took out the bow and arrow he had prepared and shot a loud arrow into the sky. However, Wang Shuang looked at the enemy troops who were retreating on the official road in front of him with a full face.
Unwilling to give in, it is a pity that he only has these thousand archers on hand now, and the enemy has not completely entered the encirclement. If he pursues now, he will be easily defeated by the enemy! So Wang Shuang can only suppress the unwillingness in his heart,
Let the archers strengthen their attacks and see if they can stop the enemy!
Chen Tai obviously saw the enemy's intention. Apparently he saw through the enemy's ambush and completely disrupted the opponent's deployment! However, Chen Tai did not dare to be too careless. If his estimate was correct, Dongming City should have already
It has fallen! If we delay any longer, the enemy's main army will come out of the city, and we must seize the time to retreat!
Thinking of this, Chen Tai couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart. After Dongming City fell, Xu Yun, the former guard who was stationed in Dongming, must have died! Xu Yun was his first friend in the army! But Chen Tai
I also know that this is not the time to act impulsively, so I can only stay useful, rush back to Dingtao, and inform Mao Jie of this important information, so that the enemy's plot will not succeed!
Sure enough, not long after, the originally closed gate of Dongming City opened, and a large number of Western Qin troops poured out from the city, chasing Chen Tai. The generals at the head were none other than Xu Yi and Dian Man.
and Hao Zhao! And on the originally empty city wall of Dongming City, there was also a large group of people. Standing at the front were none other than Guo Huai and Deng Ai!
Looking at Cao Wei's army retreating rapidly in the distance, although the pursuers of Xu Yi and others were chasing after them, they obviously could not catch up. Deng Ai fisted his fist in annoyance and shouted: "Damn it! It's just a little bit close.
It was a success!”
Although Guo Huai next to him also had a look of pity, he was not as exaggerated as Deng Ai. He just shook his head and comforted Deng Ai: "Forget it! Shi Zai! The plan is up to people, and the success is up to God! Maybe!
This is God’s will!”
Although Guo Huai's persuasion made Deng Ai feel a little better, Deng Ai's face was still ugly, so the ambush plan was proposed by Deng Ai on his own initiative. After the previous sneak attack on Dongming City was successful, he learned from the surrendered soldiers that
Cao Wei's army would change defenses regularly, and Deng Ai came up with such an ambush plan. But he didn't expect that the plan went well at the beginning, but fell short in the last step!
Although Guo Huai also felt it was a pity, he did not attach great importance to the results of this ambush. The worst he could do was to turn the attack on Jiyin from dark to bright! With the combat effectiveness of the Western Qin Army, Guo Huai had the confidence to successfully attack Jiyin.
!Maybe we can get ahead of the lord’s army and conquer Dongjun in one go, achieving great success!
When he thought of this, even though Guo Huai was usually so calm, he couldn't help but feel a little excited! Guo Huai looked at the battle situation outside the city from a distance. Cao Wei's army had already retreated far away. Guo Huai immediately said to the soldiers behind him: "
Ming Jin withdraws his troops! There is no use in pursuing him any further!"
After the soldiers went to carry out his orders, Guo Huai turned to Deng Ai and said: "Shizai! Let's go down and get ready! When they come back, we will set off immediately to attack Lihu, and then go north to take it directly
