Li Daoan, who was born as a military general, could see the gap between the two sides, but Hu Jiyu, the King of Annan, could not understand what was inside.

He always believed that the Annan army was unable to break through Zhennan Pass, which was entirely due to the dangerous terrain, so he spoke: "Even if the Zhennan Pass is dangerous, our dynasty has 200,000 troops, several times the enemy's army. As long as the battle is effective, we can definitely break through this pass."

As soon as this said, Li Daoan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that what you said was easy.

However, as a minister, it is difficult to publicly refute the king, so he can only explain: "The soldiers in our dynasty are very brave in fighting, and no one is afraid of the enemy and avoiding the war."

"Fighting is not just about courage."

He paused and continued to speak: "From today, some people will be drawn to attack Zhennan Pass every night.

If it lasts for ten days and half a month, the enemy will be tired and reduce its defense. Our court can take the opportunity to break the barrier."

Hu Jiyu's plan is feasible, so Li Daoan does not object.

However, he was not optimistic about this strategy in his heart. After all, he had to try his best to get the enemy's plan. Now that the army is good and the food is sufficient, this strategy is not very effective at all.

That night, the Annan army followed Hu Jiyu's plan and feinted the attack on Zhennan Pass.

An hour later, Cao Wenkai, who was guarding Zhennan Pass, discovered the difference and said to himself: "What the hell are the people of Annan!"

Cao Wenkai, who had outstanding abilities, had discovered that the Annan people's attack was not strong enough, and often the enemy retreated after a roll of wood and rocks.

After observing for a while, he confirmed that the Annan people were feinting attacks and immediately sent an order to rest the army, leaving only 5,000 people, divided into three groups, and took turns to defend the city.

The war overnight was not in any turmoil. It was not until dawn that Annan's people increased their attacks.

This happened for several days in a row, and Cao Wenkai quickly understood the other party's intention.

"It turns out that I want to use the trick of exhausting the enemy!"

Then he smiled disdainfully and said to himself: "It's pretty beautiful to have it!"

After speaking, Cao Wenkai found several confidant generals and made some arrangements.

Another day later, news came from Nanning that the reinforcements sent by Shenji Camp had already entered Nanning Cheng before Ma Yuan.

In this way, Cao Wenkai was completely relieved. After all, five thousand elite soldiers were enough to defend Nanning Cheng.

Fifty miles away in Nanning City, the rebels led by Ma Yuan were camping here.

"Damn Cao Wenkai, you really dare to send reinforcements!"

After learning that thousands of soldiers and horses entered Nanning City, Ma Yuan said hatefully.

"Sir, thousands of elite troops have arrived. I'm afraid there is little hope for us to take over Nanning City."

Sun Changbo said bitterly that he knew the combat power of his rebels and thought it was difficult to take down Nanning City, which was guarded by thousands of elite troops.

"Then you have to give it a try!"

Ma Yuan said firmly, with a little regret on his face.

He always believed that Zhennan Pass was under great pressure, and Cao Wenkai could not draw troops and reinforce Nanning, so he marched slowly.

After all, the newly recruited rebels have poor discipline. If they march in a hurry, they might run away a lot.

But when thousands of soldiers of Shenji Camp entered Nanning, the situation was different. His plan was likely to fail, so he was naturally very upset.

"What if we can't take Nanning?"

"If you can't take Nanning, you will march south, occupy Chongzuo County, and cut off the connection between Zhennan Pass and Nanning."

Chongzuo County is located in the middle of Nanning and Zhennan Pass, and is also the location of the grain road.

So this place is a key point. After occupying this place, the logistics supply of Zhennan Pass will be cut off by the rebels.

"The adults wanted to cut off the grain road leading to Zhennan Pass by occupying Chongzuo County."

Sun Changbo's ability is not bad, and he immediately guessed Ma Yuan's purpose.

"The grain and grass in Zhennan Pass can last for at most one or two months. By then, the grain and grass will be exhausted and will collapse without fighting."

Then the topic changed: "As long as the Annan army breaks the Zhennan Pass, the situation will change, and the entire Guangxi will be our world."

After saying that, Ma Yuan smiled proudly and fell into his own fantasy.

The next day, the rebels continued to advance and arrived outside Nanning City at night that day.

After resting for a night, Ma Yuan commanded the rebels to attack the city, but the rebels were short of troops and a group of mobs. How could they break through thousands of elite soldiers and defend Nanning City?

After only three days of fighting, the rebels suffered five or six thousand casualties, but there was no hope of breaking the city.

In this way, Ma Yuan naturally dared not fight, because if he continued to fight, the rebels would collapse.

In desperation, Ma Yuan could only lead the rebels to advance southward and attack the backup target.

As soon as the rebels moved, Cao Wenkai from Zhennan Pass immediately received the news and immediately took out the map.

After looking for a while, he immediately pointed his hand at Chongzuo County and said disdainfully: "It's really a whim to want to cut off my food route."

If there were no reinforcements, this move would indeed cause great trouble to Cao Wenkai.

But the imperial army has been south for more than ten days, and it will land on the coast in just a few days.

In this way, Ma Yuan's approach was meaningless, but instead gave the army to move south and encircle and annihilate the rebels.

Cao Wenkai, who had a clear mind, decided not to move his troops, ignored all this, and focused on the Annan people who were attacking the front.

Now that Annan's army has been feinting attacks for seven or eight days, Cao Wenkai judged that the other party is likely to launch a surprise attack in the near future, so he should be more cautious.

Otherwise, if one is not bad, the boat capsized in the gutter, it will be a big trouble.

Cao Wenkai guessed that it was not bad at all. Hu Jiyu, who had been feinting a few days ago, felt that the time was almost right, so he came to Li Daoan: "In recent times, the enemy has lowered its defenses. I think the time has come."

"Master, is the time a little short?"

Although he is not optimistic about this plan, Li Daoan is still very serious, after all, this plan has a certain success rate.

"It's not too short, if you continue, it's just a waste of time."

He paused and spoke seriously: "At dawn tomorrow, all the elites will be drawn to attack Zhennan Pass."

Hu Jiyu's attitude was so firm that Li Daoan didn't say much and went down and prepared immediately.

It was 10:00 a.m., and it was almost dawn.

It is also the time when people stay up late and are most sleepy.

The elite Annan launched a surprise attack at this time and achieved certain results, and even once climbed the city wall.

This made Hu Huan, who was commanding the attack, extremely happy and shouted excitedly: "The city will be broken today, kill me!"

However, Li Daoan, who was standing beside him, was not so excited, after all, he just attacked the city wall.

But this is indeed a good sign, and he saw the hope of breaking through Zhennan Pass.

However, the situation has changed. The elite Annan who had just ascended to Zhennan Pass was unable to penetrate the city.

As time went by, the situation became increasingly unfavorable, and after an hour, it was driven off the city wall.

At this time, the sky was already bright. Cao Wenkai stood on the city wall and shouted with a smile: "King Annan, you are humiliating yourself. How can you hide it from me just a trick of exhausting the enemy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of big men with loud voices were repeating this sentence.

The voice spread throughout the battlefield, and Hu Jiyu naturally heard it. His face turned red with anger and said angrily: "Damn it!"

Then he ordered another order to attack Zhennan Pass.

"Master, no!"

Li Daoan immediately stepped forward to stop him and said nervously: "The enemy is going to irritate you, you can't be fooled!"

These words calmed down Hu Jiyu, looked at the situation on the battlefield again, and showed a look of unwillingness on his face.

He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ming Jin, stop the troops!"

As soon as this statement was made, Li Daoan breathed a sigh of relief. Because the situation on the battlefield was very bad, and the plan failed, his morale was a little lower. Continuing to attack Zhennan Pass would only increase casualties and have no effect.

"Ding Ding Ding..."

With the sound of gold coming out, the depressed Annan soldiers retreated like a tide, leaving only the corpses on the ground.

"well!"

At Zhennan Pass, Cao Wenkai sighed and said, "What a pity!"

He just said that he wanted to anger Hu Jiyu and lure the Annan people to continue to attack.

After all, if the plan fails and the loss of troops and generals will definitely reduce morale. If it weren't for the insufficient troops in Zhennan Pass, Cao Wenkai would have taken advantage of the situation to counterattack.

But Hu Jiyu was not deceived, so Cao Wenkai was naturally disappointed because he missed a large number of opportunities to kill the enemy.

The situation in Zhennan Pass is very good, but Chongzuo County, a hundred miles away, is in danger because Ma Yuan has arrived and is attacking the county town.

Chongzuo County is just a small county, with only 40,000 to 50,000 people in the entire county town, and there are only 500 soldiers and horses in the county.

Even if the strong men were mobilized to defend the city, they would not be able to stop more than 20,000 rebels.

At sunset, Chongzuo County fell, and Ma Yuan led his rebels to the county town.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Yuan began to strengthen the city defense and prepared to deal with the counterattack of the Shenji Camp.

But after three days, there was no movement in Shenji Camp, which made him feel that something was wrong.

Also feeling that the situation was wrong, Sun Changbo found Ma Yuan: "Sir, it has been three days, but there is still no response from Zhennan Pass. This is not right!"

"What do you think Cao Wenkai has plans?"

"No matter what plans he has, he shouldn't give up Chongzuo County, otherwise, Zhennan Pass will be out of food in two months."

Ma Yuan also knew this truth, but he really couldn't think of what purpose Cao Wenkai had.

However, Sun Changbo had some speculations and immediately spoke: "Sir, is it possible that the court sent reinforcements."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Yuan suddenly changed his face and his expression was a little worried.

Because he always felt that the imperial army was restrained by the Yuan Dynasty and was unable to look south at all.

It is already very difficult to be able to draw the Shenji Camp.

But all the current situations mean that the court may send reinforcements, and his idea is wrong.
