Still lacking experience. After receiving the news that the enemy in Tong County suddenly received reinforcements, Xiang Kang was at a loss no matter how tricks he was, and he didn't know how to choose next. Xiang Zhuang, Feng Zhong, Zhou Zeng, Bao Wen and others were even worse than Xiang Kang. Not only did he fail to make any good suggestions in time, but he also focused his attention on Xiang Kang, hoping that Xiang Kang would make a decision quickly.

After taking a deep breath silently, Xiang Kang forced himself to calm down, and made a safe choice in the absence of the enemy's situation, and ordered: "Tell the entire army to continue moving forward at the original speed, and go to Tong County to see the situation first."

According to Xiang Kang's instructions, the young commander's army continued to advance southeast at the original speed. During the period, the scouts and horses continued to report, saying that the Qin reinforcements from the south were advancing very quickly. It is very likely that they had already known that the young commander's army was approaching Tong County. Xiang Kang nodded quietly, but secretly analyzed in his heart: "I know I am about to arrive in Tong County, and the reaction is to speed up the advancement. It seems that this enemy is very cautious and wants to take the lead in meeting with the enemy in Tong County to prevent it. Be careful that this battle seems to be really worth fighting."

Most half an hour later, the Young Marshal's Army successfully arrived in the northern suburbs of Tong County, facing each other across the river from the Tong County city on the south bank of Tongshui. The Qin army from the south rushed to the bottom of Tong County and temporarily gained a foothold outside the open west gate of Tong County. At the same time, the Qin army in Tong County also sent troops to guard the only river-crossing bridge outside the north gate of Tong County. They were very careful not to give the Young Marshal's Army a chance to cross the river south immediately, and also to get rest time for the tired reinforcements from far away.

The distance was too far and without a telescope, Xiang Kang couldn't see the specific situation of the Qin army reinforcements. However, judging from the enemy's formation, the Qin army reinforcements had obviously experienced a certain amount of military training, and the neat formation was by no means comparable to ordinary mobs. The Tong County town also had the neat flags and the soldiers were arranged in an orderly manner, and had the spirit of a regular army. Xiang Kang was inevitably worried when he saw this. He knew that even if he was fighting head-on with the enemy in the field, the young commander army, who had only accumulated some practical experience, had a chance of winning. Moreover, even if he could win in the field, the losses of his own army would never be small.

After careful calculations, Xiang Kang called the scouts to explore the way and inquired about the situation of the Tongshui bridge. The scouts reported that the Tongshui River was very deep and difficult to cross. The reason why the scouts could freely travel between the two sides of the Tongshui River to detect the enemy situation was because there was a small civilian bridge that only allowed two people to pass side by side in the upper reaches of five or six miles. Xiang Kang nodded and then ordered: "Go and burn that small bridge, retreat ten miles above the Tongshui River, and set up camp on the north bank."

"Brother, there is no need to retreat too far?" Xiang Zhuang raised a question and said, "With Tongshui blocking the road, the enemy is not so easy to sneak across the river and attack us. We can directly garrison troops here to facilitate troops to attack the city. Why do we need to retreat so far? Also, what to do if we burn that small bridge?"

"No need to ask, I have plans." Xiang Kang shook his head, refused to answer, and said, "If you want to let the wind out, just say that the enemy has received reinforcements. Tongxian County will not fight for the time being. We will talk about reinforcements from the rear of the Xiaxian and the court."

Although he was very puzzled by Xiang Kang's arrangement, because he had seen Xiang Kang's insidious and cruel and vicious tricks more than once, Xiang Zhuang and other young generals obeyed the orders and led the young generals to retreat slowly with Xiang Kang, leaving only the scouts to continue to reconnaissance the enemy situation. As a result, seeing that the young generals retreated without fighting, the Qin army in Tong County and the reinforcements outside the city were of course cheering like thunder, and the military flag was swaying endlessly. He was extremely proud that his army could directly scare away the young generals who were in the lower court during this period and consider the young generals who were in the battlefield.

After retreating ten miles upstream of Tongshui, the young commander army immediately set up camp and divided the troops into camps and snatched four cross-river bridges on the Tongshui River. During this period, the young commander army and the Qin army's scouts also visited and investigated each other and grasped each other's movements. Then, soon, the young commander army sent an urgent report, confirming that the Qin army reinforcements were indeed from Xu County. At the same time, it also reported that the Qin army in Xu County did not enter Tong County, but chose to set up a camp three miles southwest corner of Tong County, forming a mutual support with the Qin army in Tong County.

"Strange thing, why didn't the tyrannical Qin army in Xu County enter the city?" Zhou Zeng said in confusion: "The next one is Tongxian County. Why didn't the tyrannical Qin army in Xu County enter the city and rest with peace of mind? Instead, they chose to set up a camp outside the city?"

"No wonder, this is the right choice." Xiang Kang analyzed: "The enemy of Xu County stationed his army outside the city, first to avoid mixed stationing with the enemies of Tong County after entering the city, and inconvenient command and mobilization, second to facilitate attack, third to support each other with the enemies of Tong County, no matter which enemy we send troops to attack, the other enemy can immediately send troops to attack our backs or flanks, making it difficult for us to take care of the beginning and end."

"Also, there is another advantage in Xu County's enemy stationed outside the city." Xiang Kang said casually: "It is to send troops to intercept us at any time, preventing us from bypassing Tong County and directly attacking the rear of Xu County, where they must have been empty."

Zhou Zeng nodded suddenly, but Xiang Kang, who was unintentional, felt aroused and asked, "Uncle Ya, what did I say just now?"

"What did you say just now?" Zhou Zeng was stunned, and then replied: "You just said that the tyrannical Qin army in Xu County can send troops outside the city, and they can send troops to intercept us at any time to prevent us from bypassing Tong County and directly attacking the rear of Xu County, which must have been empty."

When Xiang Kang heard this, he laughed and said to himself: "I'm so stubborn and just staring at the two enemies in front of me, why did I forget that the enemy has the place where I need to save my life in the rear of Xu County? Well, the battle is easy to fight now. As long as I make a fuss around this, the enemy will not be difficult to deal with."

"What's the young marshal's plan to defeat the enemy?" Zhou Zeng asked tentatively.

"I haven't figured out the trick to defeat the enemy yet, but I have a way of thinking." Xiang Kang smiled and said, "No hurry, wait until we get in touch with Yan Ji first. No matter whether Yan Ji is really surrendering or falsely surrendering, if nothing unexpected happens, he should send someone to contact us as soon as possible. Taking this opportunity, I will also test the authenticity of his surrender."

After Xiang Kang was founded, the young commander army established a camp, that night, Yan Ji's family came to the camp of the young commander army again and brought Xiang Kang a message saying that the reason why the Qin army in Xu County suddenly arrived was because Hao Ba of Tong County forced him to send a letter to the Qin army in Xu County for help. He was stubborn and was afraid that Hao Ba would find out that he had surrendered to the city, so he had to be forced to comply. In addition, Yan Ji's family introduced some information about the Qin army in Xu County to Xiang Kang, saying that the Qin army in Xu County had more than 1,100 troops, more than 100 war horses and more than 40 chariots. The main general was Wang Yan, the right commander of Xu County. The Qin army in Xu County established a camp outside the city, which was the result of Wang Yan and Hao Ba and others' discussion.

Finally, Yan Ji's family said carefully: "Young marshal, I am sorry for the crime. My master did not dare to let the villain bring letters this time. The reason is that the defense of Tong County was controlled by Hao Ba. Even if my master made up excuses for entering and leaving the city, he might be searched at any time. In order to prevent it, my master did not dare to let the villain carry letters."

"It's okay, I understand this." Xiang Kang nodded and said, "You also bring me a message back to your master, and told him to try his best to persuade the violent Qin army in Xu County to enter the city. If this matter is successful, I will have a way to take down Tongxian."

Yan Ju's family agreed and said more carefully: "But the young marshal, all military affairs are controlled by Hao Ba. My master is afraid that he will be unable to persuade the Xu County army to enter the city. If my master cannot do this..."

"It's okay, tell him to do his best." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "I will also do my best to help him. I will find a way to make it difficult for the tyrannical Qin army in Xu County to accommodate outside the city, so that he can reasonably persuade the tyrannical Qin army in Xu County to enter the city."

After ordering Yan Ji's family, Xiang Kang first asked Yan Ji's family to stay in his military camp for a night. At dawn the next day, he sent someone to send him out of the camp secretly and sneak back to the city on other roads. Then Xiang Kang arranged for several scouts to cross the river from the floating bridge and go to the southwest of Tong County to explore the defense arrangements of the Qin army in Xu County. Then Xiang Kang ordered the army to rest during the day and prepare for the night battle. At noon, he sent an envoy to carry a sealed war letter and a box with sealed mud to fight at the camp of the Qin army in Xuzhou. He asked the Qin army in Xu County to fight to the death in the western suburbs of Tong County at noon the next day, and never to die!

According to Xiang Kang's order, the envoy of the Young Marshal's Army brought a letter of war and a sealed box to go to the enemy camp with a white flag. As a result, the envoy had just left, Zhou Zeng next to him immediately asked: "Young Marshal, do you want to sneak attack the enemy camp again at night? This time it is probably difficult to succeed? Last time you made an appointment with Gu Bi to fight, but in the end you sent troops to sneak attack his camp that night. At that time, many soldiers of the collapsed Tong County fled directly. Hao Ba and the others could not know that if you use your old trick again this time, how could the tyrannical Qin army continue to be deceived?"

"What I want is that they will not be fooled." Xiang Kang smiled and said, "If they are really fooled, they will really send troops to fight us in a decisive battle tomorrow, and this battle will be even more difficult for us to fight. Only if they are not fooled can we have a chance to win by surprise."

…………

Not to mention the various night battle arrangements of Xiang Kang in the Young Marshal's Army camp, just talk about the envoys of the Young Marshal's Army brought letters and wooden boxes to the Qin army camp in Xu County. Although Wang Yu, the chief general of the Qin army in Xu County, soon received the envoys of the Young Marshal's Army, opened the sealed letter brought by the envoys of the Young Marshal's Army and looked carefully, Wang Yu was immediately yelled in anger. It turned out that Xiang Kang wrote in the letter:

"Wang Luo, as the left magistrate of Xu County, you were ordered to lead your army to reinforce Tong County. You don't want to wear a strong and hold a sharp edge, and you will fight for the male and female, just keep your own protection. What's the difference between you? If you don't have the courage, you can wear it as much as possible. If you have the courage, tomorrow at noon, the western suburbs of Tong County will fight to the death! The Young Marshal of the Great Chu, Xiang Kang!"

As he shouted, Wang Yan smashed open the sealed wooden box, and it was really a set of women's clothes - the ones that the old ladies like to wear in the folk. As a result, seeing this, the generals of the Qin army in Xu County next to him were of course furious and drew their swords to kill the envoys of the Young Marshal's Army on the spot! Fortunately, Wang Yan was quite calm and stopped him in time and said, "Wait, the two countries will fight each other and don't kill the envoys. This person cannot be killed. The official will ask him to take the letter back!"

After saying that, Wang Luo first wrote four big words for the decisive battle in the war letter, and then ordered people to beat the young commander's army envoy to twenty military sticks, and asked him to bring the reply letter and the women's clothes to Xiang Kang. Then, Wang Luo ordered the army to hurry up and rest and prepare for the night battle, and sent people to enter the city quickly to invite Hao Ba to the camp, whom he had always been friends with.

After a moment, Hao Ba was invited to the Qin Army camp in Xu County. As soon as he met, Wang Yu quickly told Hao Ba about what had just happened. However, Hao Ba was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, don't be fooled. Xiang Kang is a traitor who is famous for his scheming. When he was in court, he asked our Guxianzun to fight to the final battle at noon the next day, and suddenly sent troops to attack our camp that night, killing us one of us off guard, and directly harming our Guxianzun. This time he used his usual tricks again, and on the surface he asked you to fight to the final battle, but he was afraid that the army of traitors would be sent to attack your camp tonight."

"Of course I won't be fooled." Wang Yu sneered: "In the morning, I found that something was wrong. The thief sent many scouts to spy around my camp. At that time, I suspected that the thief wanted to attack my camp. So when he sent someone to deliberately humiliate me, I took the trick, pretended to be fooled and agreed to the decisive battle, and asked the soldiers to hurry up and rest and prepare for the night battle. I was waiting for him to come to attack my camp tonight, kill him and throw away his armor and piss it off!"

"Brother Wang's trick!" Hao Ba applauded and said impatiently: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I'll go back and call my people to prepare for a night battle. When the thieves come to attack your camp, they will also send troops to help you defeat the enemy!"

"No! Brother Hao, I think you have a better choice." Wang Yu shook his head and said, "You ask your troops to prepare for night battles. When the enemy comes to sneak attack me tonight, you don't need to send troops to help me. You can directly send troops from the north gate to cross the river, walk the road on the north bank of the Tongshui River, and then sneak attack the camp of the thieves, killing the thieves and being attacked from both sides, and being in a dilemma. If I can lure the main force of the thieves out of the camp and make their camp empty, maybe you can defeat the enemy in one battle and kick the thieves' camp directly!"

When Hao Ba heard this, he quickly bowed to Wang Yan and thanked him repeatedly. He immediately agreed with Wang Yan to join forces to send troops at night. The Qin army in Xu County was responsible for dealing with the young commander's night attack army and took the opportunity to lure the young commander's army to respond to the defeated soldiers. Hao Ba was responsible for personally leading the army to attack the young commander's army camp, killing the young commander's army with difficulty, and also took the opportunity to defeat the young commander's army in one fell swoop. Then Wang Yan and Hao Ba each organized their own soldiers to prepare for the war without mentioning it.

…………

The autumn gradually faded, and it was just halfway through the first half, and the sky was gradually darkening. According to Wang Yan's arrangement, the Qin army in Xu County deliberately stopped the lights and put out the fire on time, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the camp gate, pretending that the army was already asleep. In fact, they secretly sent four hundred soldiers to ambush on both sides of the camp. The soldiers in the camp were also untied and kept their swords away, hiding in the camp tent waiting for the young generals to come and attack.

Halfway through the second update, a young army of commanders sneaked into the camp of the Qin army in Xu County. He clumsily tried to seize the Qin army camp gate, attempting to enter the camp to reuse the same trick, and then caught the Qin army off guard. When the drums in the Qin army camp were beaten together, the Qin army ambushed, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately rushed out from both wings. The main force of the Qin army in Xu County, who was ready to fight, also attacked the young army's night attack troops under Wang Luo's personal leadership, attacking the young army's night attack troops on three sides. The young army found that they were trapped and did not dare to fight with the enemy. He quickly turned around and ran around the road with his tail. Wang Luo, who had succeeded in a clever way, was proud and personally led the troops to chase and kill them.

At the same time, Hao Ba personally led a team of 500 people out of the camp from the North Gate, and went straight to the north bank of Tongshui through the North Gate Bridge, which had been controlled by his own army, and went upstream to the camp of the Young Commander's Army.

Let’s first look at Wang Luo’s side. Although the young commander’s army escaped quickly, there were crowds of people in the dark. The Qin army in Xu County led by Wang Luo could still easily bite the defeated soldiers of the young commander’s army and quickly chased the defeated soldiers of the young commander’s army to the nearest camp of the young commander’s army. Then Wang Luo proudly discovered that the young commander’s army was indeed panicked, with torches and alarm gongs everywhere. It was obvious that the sneak attack army of his army would suffer a painful defeat. Then Wang Luo did not hesitate and immediately ordered the army to speed up and then divided the cavalry to attack the young commander’s army’s floating bridge ferry, trying to cut off the return of the young commander’s army. Then...

Then, Wang Yu of course found himself in Xiang Kang's evil deception. In the sound of the war drums, a young commander army suddenly appeared behind the Qin army in Xu County, roaring and rushing behind the Qin army in Xu County. The young commander army in front immediately turned around and attacked the Qin army in Xu County forward and backward with the ambush in the rear. When the insane Xu County Qin army was forced to divide the troops to fight, the drum sounded again, and two young commander army rushed out from left and right, cooperating with friendly forces to attack the Qin army in Xu County from all directions.

After all, it was just county soldiers. Even if they had received certain military training, they were far inferior to the main force of the Qin army on the northern grasslands and in the southern jungle. They were surrounded by the young commander's army on all sides in the dark. It was difficult for the Qin army in Xu County to be in chaos. What's worse is that although the young commander's soldiers have always relied on stealing to fight with the wind, they have actually been on the battlefield and have accumulated some practical experience. During the rushing, they have already known how to cooperate with each other, when to fight for life, and when to give in temporarily. At this time, they were caught off guard again, and they still fought with the weak. Therefore, the mobs of the young commander's army were hard to think that they could not be brave and invincible. During the rushing, they fought for life and braver, and surrounded the Qin army in Xu County and beat them up, and soon cut off the unlucky Qin army in Xu County and killed the corpses everywhere.

Unable to withstand the turtle fist that the young commander army was besieging the young commander army, the soldiers of the Qin army in Xu County fled in all directions, and the soldiers of the generals and soldiers around Wang Luo also advised him to retreat quickly. However, Wang Luo still chose to grit his teeth and persevere, because Wang Luo still had a glimmer of hope. The Qin army in Tong County, which sent troops from the north bank, launched an attack on the Young Commander army camp in time, surrounded Wei to rescue Zhao, forced the Young Commander army to retreat, and also strive to turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory. Therefore, even if the situation is critical, Wang Luo still refused to let the personal soldiers put down his Wang banner, and he had to pluck the courage to hold on with the loss. - Of course, for the sake of caution, Wang Luo still accepted the kindness of his personal soldiers, changed into the soldiers' clothes early, ready to escape in the chaos at any time.

Of course, Wang Yu's wishful thinking was miscalculated. With Xiang Kang's treacherousness, how could the Qin army in Tongxian suddenly dispatched troops from the north bank and launched an attack on his camp at night? So when Hao Ba, the right lieutenant of Tongxian, brought the army to the vicinity of the Shaomai army camp, the gate of the Shaomai army camp, which was still dark and dark, of course, there was a clear torch at the door of the Shaomai army camp. Countless bright arrows extended out of the fences of the camp, and looked at the Qin army in Tongxian who was fighting for the night.

In order to share the pressure with friendly troops on the south bank, Hao Ba tampered with the bullet and led the army to launch a charge. However, the soldiers of the Young Commander Army did not give the enemy the opportunity to get close to the camp. As soon as the Qin army in Tong County was about to attack the Qin army in Tong County, they immediately launched a chaotic crossbow, attacking the Qin army in Tong County, who dared to attack the camp. When the troops were not sufficient, Xiang Kang, who had always liked to hide behind and designed to harm others, also took his own troops as the general reserve team, ready to make up for leaks and plug the gaps at any time.

It's still a pity that Xiang Kang failed to get the opportunity to kill the enemy himself. In the face of the tight defense of the young commander's soldiers, the Qin army in Tong County just wanted to find it difficult to even get close to the young commander's camp fences and camp protection trenches, not to mention that Xiang Kang's personal soldiers who rushed into the young commander's camp and armed to their teeth could only wander around the young commander's camp like a group of flies. Every time they charged, they were shot by the young commander's crossbows, and they ran away with each other, and were forced to withdraw to reorganize the team. They still had such a constant exchange.

At the same time, the Qin army in Xuxian County was completely unable to withstand it on the battlefield of the south bank. In order to survive, Wang Yan, who had fewer soldiers around him, could only helplessly let his personal soldiers put down his banner of kings and give up command of the army. Under the protection of a team of personal soldiers, they fled to the depths of darkness with fewer voices. The remaining Qin army in Xuxian County even scattered and fled in a panic and hated their parents for giving birth to two less legs.

After completely defeating the Qin army in Xu County, Xiangzhuang on the battlefield in the south bank quickly let his personal soldiers sound the horn of assembling, allowing his soldiers to return to his subordinates to his marquis to help the camp. Xiang Kang's good brother Feng Zhongze took on the heavy responsibility of pursuing and led the young army soldiers including Xiang You and Xiang Sui and other Xiang family members to pursue the enemy with all their strength, killing the prisoners desperately, and weakening the Qin army in Xu County to the greatest extent.

During the pursuit, Feng Zhong also remembered the scene when he was distributing the bill today. After Xiang Kang arranged the army to arrange the order to distribut the bill, he left Feng Zhong alone, patted Feng Zhong on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Brother Feng, I can't just rely on our Xiang family's children. You have to stand up and give me more care, but in order to block others' mouths, you have to perform more on the battlefield, so that I can be more confident when I speak for you."
