After more than ten days of rapid marching, Yuan Shu's 300,000 army came to Xia Cai Zuo.
"Your Majesty! That Xuzhou Xiang is now stationed in Xia Cai, and the 50,000 troops are all based on the city. After
receiving the report from his subordinates, Yuan Shu sneered at Xia Caicheng not far away.
Ignorant, arrogant, and simply ridiculous!
Think that relying only on a small city in Xia Cai can stop my army of 300,000?
Sure enough, it is a dirt bun that has never seen the world, and today, I will let you see what the real strong army in the world is!"
At the head of Xia Cai City, Xiang Ji and the others stood on the city wall, looking at the huge camp ten miles away, and said in their hearts that it would be nonsense if they were not nervous.
This is an army of 300,000, not 300,000 cattle and sheep, even if you stand there and let you kill, I'm afraid it will take him a whole day.
"Has Zilong's Canglong cavalry set off?" Xiang
Ji began to ask Cui Yan who was at the head of the group.
After receiving an affirmative answer, he continued to watch Yuan Shu's camp with peace of mind.
Yes, through the previous battle, the 2,000 elite cavalry under the command of Zhao Yun were awarded the title by Xiang Ji, Canglong Cavalry!
And its mission is to cut through obstacles for Xiang Ji and stand the banner of Xiang Zi on every inch of land in this world.
As for arranging for Zhao Yun's Canglong to leave Xia Cai, it was Jia Xu's first step in planning this battle.
When they learned that Yuan Shu's army was coming, Xiang Ji and the others were not idle.
I wanted to choose a dangerous place near the end, but after all, I was not familiar with the terrain of Yangzhou, and after the last discussion, I decided to hold Xia Cai.
After all, Cai Ke is the only way to Xuzhou, as long as it is blocked here, it can be pierced in Yangzhou like a nail, then Yuan Shu will inevitably have to fight with the Xuzhou army of Xiang Ji.
After selecting to hold Xia Cai, all the 50,000 troops of Xiang Ji were dispatched, not to mention the grain collected from the neighboring prefectures and counties, and all the young and strong people were also moved to Xia Cai City.
At the very least, even if they are raised, they can't be allowed to be the enemy?
Moreover, in the past ten days, Xiang's 50,000 troops have also cut down all the trees that can be cut down nearby.
In the same way, you can keep it as a sassal wood.
Keeping it for Yuan Shu, could he let the nearest materials be used to make it easier to make a ladder?
Now, the army of Xiang Ji, which has been fully prepared, has finally ushered in Yuan Shu, and this battle for hegemony north of the Yangtze River is about to be officially staged.
Yes, Jiangnan is still in the midst of a chaotic war, and all kinds of princes are too guarded, and the little overlord Sun Ce has also gone to Jiangdong to start his Jiangdong hegemony.
Before Yuan Shu, the great enemy, was eliminated, Xiang Ji didn't have time to pay attention to it.
In the Jianghuai region north of the Yangtze River, the two most powerful princes were Yuan Shu and Xiang Ji.
Just looking at Yuan Shu's display of heavy troops on the border of Xu Yang and the setting up of passes, it can be clearly understood that this goods are also not good at Xiang.
The current situation is just that the entry book has been issued first.
At present, Xiang Ji's 50,000 army is the limit of what he can come up with, after all, the labor expedition, the pressure of logistics grain and grass is definitely greater than that of local combat, and if his Xuzhou does not leave heavy troops to guard, Xiang Ji is not at ease.
After all, Tao Qian's vanished army of 40,000 is still missing.
This has always been a knot in Xiang Ji's heart.
It's just that the title is not clear.
At present, the 40,000 army has long since lost its surname Tao.
After changing his surname, he has now been brought to Beihai by Liu Bei with a large army.
Because Liu Da'er and Kong Rong have an old relationship, Kong Rong does not doubt it, but Liu Bei and Tao Qian were defeated in the battle for Xuzhou with the same nationality, and they came to his Beihai County to rest for the time being.
It's just that Kong Rong didn't know that after the emperor's constraints, Liu Bei's ambitions gradually increased.
The previous goal was just to mix up the title of imperial uncle, but now, Liu Bei has taken a fancy to Kong Rong's entire Qingzhou Beihai.
Night.
Looking at the brightly lit Yuan Shu camp, Xiang Ji suddenly found that he regretted sending Zhao Yun's Canglong Cavalry out so early.
If, at this time, there is a night attack, presumably the effect is also acceptable.
Saying his thoughts to the generals, the generals who were still preparing to rest suddenly became excited.
As for the lack of cavalry, what are you afraid of, just a harassment, not to attack the depths of the camp.
After some debate, after Jia Xu's planning, the final candidate was finalized.
Xiang Ji personally led 3,000 Xiang family troops to attack the camp, Zhou Tai accompanied him, and 15,000 men and horses from the headquarters of the Tibetan Ba were responsible for setting up ambushes on the retreat road, and Yu Ban was responsible for defending the city.
Midnight.
The noisy camp of Yuan Shujun's army had gradually fallen silent.
Only a few hapless sentries were assigned to the front of the camp to keep watch.
"Why is it so cold in the middle of the night, this damn bad weather?" one of
the sentries began to complain about his bad luck to his friend next to him.
It's really unlucky, the battalion of 300,000 people, the forward battalion alone is 50,000 people, and as a result, they are unlucky, and they are assigned to keep vigil, what is this called?"
Think about tomorrow, it's going to be a siege.
We are the forward battalion, and we must be the first to attack the city.
Do you think for yourself, is it better to siege the city or keep vigil?
This is what our captain has fought so hard for, why do you complain about this, be careful that the captain hears and kicks you.
Being scolded by his companions, Erniu stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
As for it? Am I just complaining
? Speaking of which, what about Wu Changren? Did you see him just now?
Just as Erniu turned to look for Wu Chang, his companion next to him noticed that there seemed to be something different in the dark ahead.
But before he could react, a feathered arrow had already pierced his throat.
"Poof. The
slain soldier fell to the cold ground, alarming Erniu, who was still searching for the captain.
"What are you doing? Why did you fall so well?
En, enemy...!"
Unfortunately, Erniu will never be able to shout the word attack.
In the same way, a feathered arrow stuck in his chest, so that he could only open his eyes wide, unwilling to look at the dark night sky.
When Xiang Ji saw that all the sentries of Yuan Shujun had been cleared, he immediately turned over and got on his horse.
"Chong! Zhou Tai, you take a thousand soldiers to set fire to create chaos.
The rest are all rushing with me, targeting the enemy camp owner!"
At the very least, it is enough to break the main tent of this forward battalion and kill a few of his generals?
With the breakthrough of Xiang Ji and the others, the silence of the vanguard battalion was suddenly broken.
"Enemy attack!" Under
the exclamation of a soldier who came out to relieve Xiaojie before he died, the Yuan Shu Pioneer Battalion completely entered a chaos.
