Zhu Wen, holding a red pennant gun, led the team fifty people to follow the team ahead. He didn't know if this would be the last sunrise he could see in this life, nor did he say this emotion with Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen, who were walking beside him, because he didn't know if thinking about such a thing was a manifestation of cowardice.

He is a team leader. According to coach Li Cunxiao, a team leader is not only the head of these fifty people, but also the courage of these fifty people. As a team leader, you must have both minds and courage. His every move affects the entire team, so he cannot show any cowardice.

Did the Grand Marshal Li Jing ever think about death before every battle?

The army did not make a sound, only the rhythmic footsteps rang out in the vast fog. Today, the fog was so big that my eyes could only see a few people in front and behind. Zhu Wen couldn't even see the fifty people in his team, so he could only walk tightly. Once he got separated, he might not be able to find the large army again.

When a trace of dawn shone in the sky, they had finished walking only more than thirty miles from Daying to Yucheng.

This five thousand auxiliary army arrived at the bottom of Yucheng, but the defenders on the city still had no idea. Such a huge fog could no longer see anything outside three steps.

When they arrived five hundred steps below the city, the army stopped.

Liu Xun was surprised to be able to touch the city so smoothly, which gave up his ideas. Now he has arrived at the city, but everyone has not thought about what to do next.

"If you have any ideas, find a few more powerful people. Climb up the wall and open the city gate. Then set fires everywhere. The bandits will be in chaos. At that time, it will be a good time to defeat the bandits in one fell swoop." Li Cunxiao shouted.

Li Cunxiao was known as a general who was brave but had little strategy. Naturally, everyone didn't listen to his words, but looked at Liu Xun together. Liu Xun was known as Zhuge, and he was known for his own tricks. When it comes to strategy, it depends on him.

Liu Xun slowly wondered in his heart, what was the purpose of the auxiliary army this time?

It is not to annihilate the enemy but to lure the enemy. Wang Xianzhi has many soldiers and horses, and it is a joke to rely on five thousand auxiliary troops to annihilate the enemy. The general does not send the Zhenguo Army directly to the army. First, he is unwilling to fight the thieves with the thieves' human-sea tactics, and lose his brothers in vain. Second, he is worried that the thieves will immediately escape when they see the strength of the thieves. Now he sends the auxiliary troops to the army. The main purpose is to make the thieves feel underestimated, so that they will not only not be afraid of the thieves, but also unknowingly surrounded and swallow the bait.

If you figure out the task of the auxiliary army, this battle will be easier to fight.

If you can fight with the fog, if you can capture Yucheng, you will inevitably attract a large army of thieves. As long as they can hold the thieves for a long time, the elite troops of the Zhenguo Army will arrive.

However, Liu Xun also had a hidden worry in his heart, that is, it is still impossible to tell whether the general Li Jing was just a small fight or a big fight.

The Zhenguo Army had 20,000 troops, which seemed to be divided into four routes, defending Songcheng one by one. The three routes divided their troops to attack Dangshan, Chuqiu, and Kaocheng, and Liu Xun secretly speculated. The general was actually very likely to be using a big roundabout encirclement tactic.

Using Songcheng as a stronghold, then three routes surrounded the Cao army in the Yucheng area, and finally surrounded them on the east bank of the Bian Canal and the west bank of the Bian River. If you want to achieve this goal, you cannot scare away the thieves.

If they can conquer Yucheng and then lead the Cao army near Yucheng, then the three soldiers of the commander's army will be able to encircle more smoothly. However, for the better effect, Li Jing's three soldiers will send troops a little later than the auxiliary army. The auxiliary soldiers will now have a great chance of winning Yucheng, but the most important thing is how to deal with the Cao army coming from nearby.

If the general only needs to defeat the thief, the Zhenguo Army will come to support quickly, and it will be safer for them to take Yucheng, and it will be enough to persevere for half a day. But if Li Jing intends to severely damage the thief and really use a big roundabout tactic, the reinforcements will not arrive at least two to three days, which means that he has to guard Yucheng for three days.

If the main force is really ready to encircle, then they might as well not capture Yucheng so that they can avoid being trapped. But in this way, the effect of the bait will not be strong.

Liu Xun thought about it, and finally told the other five people about his guess and judgment, and let everyone make the final decision together.

"Why didn't the teacher tell us directly how he would use troops?" Li Cunxiao asked in confusion.

Yang Shihou pinched his chin and said, "Because the teacher would not have thought that we could have the opportunity to capture Yucheng with these new recruits. If it weren't for the heavy fog, we would not have had the opportunity to capture Yucheng. Therefore, we would naturally not consider this. If we didn't capture Yucheng, we would not be besieged. I think the teacher's intention was to encircle the circle."

"Since that's the case, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to attack Yucheng?" Gao Siji couldn't help but worry.

"Why, Brother Third is scared?" Wang Yanzhang stood aside and said.

Gao Siji was a little worried when Wang Yanzhang said this, "I'm just thinking from a global perspective, how could I be afraid?"

"If we are considering the overall situation, then we should take down Yucheng. Isn't this more conducive to the general's siege?" Wang Yanzhang continued, not forgiving people if he is right.

Hearing this, everyone was silent. Wang Yanzhang said it well. From the overall perspective, if they can take it, they will naturally have to take Yucheng, so that they can attract thieves and allow the general to join the siege smoothly. But in this way, everyone will be in danger. After all, the auxiliary army is all new recruits.

"I'm also considering a bird. What are you afraid of when you are in danger? If you are afraid of death and fight a bird fight, you can show your ability. We are new recruits, Wang Xianzhi's soldiers are still a group of refugees. What's more, we have complete armor and weapons. Only those who are strong and who have been weak will know." Li Cunxiao shouted loudly.

Liu Xun, Gao Siji and others looked at each other and made up their minds.

"Cunxiao is right. Since God gave us this opportunity, it would be a pity if we didn't take it. Fight!" Liu Xun finally made up his mind.

After deciding to seize the city, it was a question of how to fight.

Speaking of this, everyone unanimously recognized the command status of Liu Xun, the senior brother.

"Old Wu Tianxiong and Lao Liu Cun Shen, you two each will pick up a team of elite soldiers and find ways to sneak into the city from both sides of the west gate and the south gate. Lao Er Iron Gun and Lao San Chengwu each led their troops outside the two gates to prepare to enter the city. Lao Fourth Hu Wu, you will lead the second battalion troops to guard the southeast of the city and lead to Dangshan. I will lead our troops to guard the northwest of the city and lead to Chuqiu. There are Wang Xianzhi's troops not far from both sides. Before Yucheng takes them, you must not let the reinforcements of the thieves break through our defense."

After the tasks were divided, the six people returned to the headquarters.

Li Cunxiao was dissatisfied with the inability to enter the city, but Liu Xun told him that the defense task was heavier and needed the most powerful general, he immediately returned to the headquarters with a smile. He rode back to the formation on his horse. He was the only one of the second battalion officers at the battalion level. There were twenty team leaders and deputy team leaders, Yu Hou and the coach, and there was no teaching.

Zhu Wen, Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen were all amazed when they looked at Li Cunxiao's horse that was much bigger than others.

Zhu Zhen whispered to Zhu Wen and the others: "When we fight for a while, we remember to follow the commander."

Zhu Wen said inexplicably: "Why?"

"Have you ever heard that although Li Yanei ranks fourth among the great generals and is the youngest, his martial arts are the highest? It is said that he can beat three Yanei alone, and four of them can gain the upper hand. Only when the other five Yanei go together can he defeat him. It is natural that we should be safer to follow him, let alone, only when we follow him, our bravery can we see it."

The two brothers Zhu Wen couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, this commander was a disciple of the Grand Marshal. If he showed his courage, he would be able to see it. He would be promoted casually or say a few words in front of the Grand Marshal. Last time, Zhu Wen said it well, and both of them became the leader of the team.

Li Cunxiao's equipment was very gorgeous. He was wearing the braided armor, a golden cloak, and a sweat-blooded horse given by Li Jing. He had a mud iron spear in his hand, a jade sword around his waist, and a pair of gold-mounted maces were immediately hung. Each one was extremely precious and enviable. His mud iron spear weighed dozens of kilograms, but he held it in his hand as easily as a white wax gun.

At this moment, Li Cunxiao arrived in front of one thousand soldiers and horses in his formation, took them to the southeast of Yucheng, pointed the spear at the ground, and ordered everyone to take their place.

"If anyone dares to escape, I will kill him with my own hands!" He roared loudly, and turned around and saw Zhu Wen and the other two. "Zhu Wen, you can take people to guard the left, and I will draw five teams for you to see if you have the ability to defend it. If you can defend it, I will personally ask the general for you after I go back and let you be the commander."

That was the left wing of their 1,000 men. As long as they defended this place, the soldiers and horses coming to support could not be surrounded from the side. Because to the left was a river, which was not too deep, but could not be easily trampled.

Zhu Wen took the military order and returned to the five teams assigned to him. He pointed the flag gun in his hand towards the river and shouted: "It's this river!" At this time, a layer of white mist enveloped the river, and the clear river water flowed under it. There was a fog covering it, but looking at the river beach here, it was estimated that the river was thirty steps wide. The river beach was covered with mud and reeds were everywhere. "Our task is to defend the river beach. No matter what happens, we must ensure that we must guard the river beach. No one can penetrate the river between the river and us. If anyone dares to come up from the river, we will cut off their dog heads and throw them back into the river!"

When the other four team leaders saw Zhu Wen's fierce expression, they also put away all the little thoughts they had in their hearts.

Zhu Wen, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Cun carefully checked their defenses. The land around them was rugged and muddy. There was still a lot of mud on the shore, which slipped as soon as they stepped on it. As the battle approached, Zhu Wen's heartbeat became faster and faster, and his face turned pale. He watched Li Cunxiao walking around on the sweat-blooded horse, shouting loudly, making the final arrangement and boosting morale.
