Iron Dynasty

In Chuzhou, the army led by Lu Fei has been stationed here for five days.

According to Xiao Ming's order, he now wants to besiege Chuzhou instead of attacking, attracting the army of King Wei to come to the rescue to make Jinling City empty, so as to prepare for Ye Qingyun to take Jinling City in one fell swoop.

General, the horse traps around the camp have been dug. Bai Mu walked into the camp and said at this time.

After Pengzhou City, the terrain of Wei land is basically flat, and now their camp is built on a flat map, and the surrounding area is very empty, which is extremely easy to be targeted by cavalry.

Therefore, after being stationed, Lu Fei asked the soldiers to dig a horse pit to prevent the surprise attack of the cavalry of the King of Wei.

Now that he is getting deeper and deeper into the hinterland of Wei, Lu Fei's spirit is also tense, because he knows that King Wei's personal soldiers still haven't appeared, and these soldiers are the real trump card of King Wei.

These troops included 30,000 cavalrymen, 8,000 musketeers, and a huge number of traditional cold weapon troops. If King Wei was in a hurry, throwing all these troops into the Chuzhou battlefield would really be enough for them to drink a pot.

After all, even he can't guarantee victory in this situation, which is why he is so cautious.

After Baimu finished reporting, a scout in charge of reconnaissance hurriedly entered the camp, and he said to Lu Fei: General, another thirty thousand cavalry are coming to Chuzhou City, and there are also a large number of infantry after the cavalry, the number is about ten Thousands or so.

As soon as these words were said, Lu Fei's face turned green, and he comforted himself: Baimu, have you seen it, this time we are the main mission, which shows that His Highness trusts this general very much, Ye Qingyun is not enough. , can only do something sneaky.

Bai Mu rolled his eyes and said, General, this time King Wei seems to be preparing to fight us against the backwater. The only cavalry in Wei has been dispatched.

What are you afraid of, didn't this commander dig trenches and trap horses? Lu Fei said.

While the two were talking, the city gate of Chuzhou City suddenly opened, and then a group of infantrymen in armor, holding a shield in their left hand and a horizontal knife in their right hand poured out from the city gate.

Following these soldiers were archers wearing green linings. After leaving the city, these soldiers immediately formed a battle formation. At this time, each soldier had a serious expression.

The movements of the Chuzhou defenders caught the attention of the Nanzheng Army. At this time, Lu Fei walked out of the tent, picked up the binoculars, and glanced at the Chuzhou army 700 meters away.

Everyone, the defenders of Chuzhou have been behind closed doors for many days, but today they suddenly set up a battle formation. It seems that King Wei is really preparing to fight a tough battle with us in Chuzhou this time.

Luo Xin also came over at this time and said: General, this change in Chuzhou must be deceitful. Although King Wei is incompetent, there are still some excellent generals in Wei Di. This battle cannot be taken lightly.

Lu Fei pondered for a while, and he said, Are they going to use a human wall to resist the guns, and the archers will shoot us after they approach us?

Well, what the general said makes sense. In the battle of Pengzhou and Huaizhou, they figured out the range and power of our firearms. Maybe this time there is a way to deal with it. Luo Hong said.

Lu Fei nodded, But they underestimate our firearms too much. Let the soldiers line up, Luo Xin, change the grape bombs.

Yes. Everyone took orders and left.

At this time, Xiao Han and Chen Wei, the governor of Chuzhou, stood on the city wall and looked at Xiao Han, the main camp of the Nanzheng Army, and said, Has the Nanzheng Army never attacked?

Chen Wei said: His Royal Highness, the last general thought that they were besieging and not attacking to contain the army of Jinling City and other states. The real dangerous army may be the army of Yangzhou.

Jinling City is impregnable, and Yangzhou and Tongzhou are isolated and helpless. It's too late for them to defend the city. How could they attack Jinling City? Xiao Leng said with a smile.

Chen Wei's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, His Royal Highness is by no means an alarmist. This King Qi has always used his troops in an unconventional manner, and he may not be able to take risks.

Xiao Han was a little impatient, he didn't want to fight at all, but this time King Wei was stunned, and asked him to personally lead troops to support Chuzhou City, and let him be responsible for defeating the Nanzheng Army led by Lu Fei.

Needless to say, Jinling City has a father and a king, and there will be no mistakes. Now we should think about how to solve the current Nanzheng army, otherwise we will not be able to explain it to the father.

Chen Wei replied yes, he looked at the southern expedition army camp and said: The strength of the southern expedition army lies in firearms, and the infantry will suffer a lot from fighting with them, so the last general is going to take a mixed attack of infantry and archers, and at the same time cavalry raids strategy to defeat the Southern Expedition Army.

This time I brought 30,000 elite cavalry, plus the local garrison and 100,000 soldiers should have no problem dealing with them. Xiao Han asked.

If you cooperate properly, there should be no problem. Chen Wei pondered for a while, But the general thinks it's best not to take the initiative to attack.

Xiao Han said: Do you think I think so? Father is like crazy now, let me defeat the Nanzheng Army this time, kill Xiao Ming's spirit, and stop the war with war, hey.

Chen Wei's expression was a little gloomy when he heard the words. Even though the Nanzheng army had only 40,000 to 50,000 people, he did not believe that you could defeat Xiao Ming with King Wei's army, because it was only in terms of morale that the soldiers could not compare.

These soldiers and horses are more than enough to defend the city but not enough to attack.

It's just that since Xiao Han gave the order, he could only bite the bullet, but he hadn't given the order yet. At this time, the soldiers of the Nanzheng Army came out of the camp and came towards the city gate.

At this time, Luo Hong led the soldiers from the three-meter-wide passage on the ditch and ran across the ditch to the gate of Chuzhou City. The ditches they dug were not continuous. These places are mainly guarded by infantry, in order to concentrate their forces to annihilate the cavalry. After analysis, Lu Fei believed that the purpose of the Chuzhou army was to use the infantry as a human wall, consume the archers, and finally attack the cavalry.

Therefore, after deliberation, they decided to adopt a strategy of cheating to lure the cavalry out of the city, which severely set back the cavalry in Chuzhou.

The 700-meter road was not far for the soldiers. Luo Hong led 10,000 soldiers to form a phalanx and advance slowly.

As they advanced, there were more and more infantry outside Chuzhou City. They were divided into three parts, left, middle and right, facing them neatly. The Nanzheng Army is too contemptuous, do you want to defeat us with 10,000 people? Xiao Han sneered, this time they sent 20,000 infantry, and the 30,000 cavalry in the city had already assembled, and they could rush out of the city gate to fight at any time. The soldiers of the Nanzheng Army who gradually moved away from the main camp showed a cruel smile. In his opinion, the generals of the Nanzheng Army were nothing more than that.
