Some Wei troops wanted to rush out, but were persuaded to retreat by a hail of arrows from the Wudang Battalion, which had been well prepared.

When it got dark, the enemies outside the camp finally retreated.

The general of the Wei army was able to put out the fire with all his strength, but after the fire in the camp was extinguished and the losses were counted, he was left crying without tears.

Not many soldiers were killed or injured by thieves, but many of them trampled on each other.

The most important thing is that most of the food and grass were burned.

General Wei's face turned pale as he looked at the piles of grain and grass that were still smoking and emitting a pungent stench of oil.

Naturally, Cao Zhen, who was under Xiao Guan, did not know that a batch of grain and fodder for his army had been burned to pieces on the way.

At this time, he looked at the Shu camp opposite and frowned.

This thief Feng really has a way of leading the army.

I thought he had traveled a long way and the soldiers must be exhausted.

I didn't expect that after only half a day and one night's work, such a camp could be built.

Not only that, they even placed simple antlers in front of the camp and dug a trench that was not too shallow.

Just when he thought Thief Feng would stick to the stronghold and keep time, suddenly the stronghold gate opened.

Group after group of Shu captives came out and began to set up military formations based on the camp.

"Then Thief Feng is really brave. He has a stronghold but doesn't defend it, and he dares to confront Da Sima directly!"

The generals of the Wei army thought they were going to attack the camp, but they didn't expect that the other side actually dared to come out.

"This camp seems to have no problem, but it was just built in a hurry. It is not very strong. Feng Thief knows this, so instead of waiting for us to break the camp, it is better to fight to the death!"

Guo Huai clasped his fists and said, "Great Sima, I am willing to be the vanguard to defeat thieves!"

"Why didn't I let the governor be the vanguard to test the thieves?" Cao Zhen shook his head, "Look at the Shu captives, their morale is not weak."

"Our army is so powerful that it would be better to surround it slowly and attack in turn. The Shu captives will move in a hurry. They are already exhausted and have few troops. When the time comes, all parties will be unable to respond and the camp will collapse."

Although he repeatedly belittled Feng Yong, how could Cao Zhen have no vision after leading the army for many years?

The opponent's armor was distinctive, their military formations were strict, and their advance and retreat were orderly. The low morale situation that they imagined did not occur at all.

In addition, in the past few years, Feng Thief's reputation for being good at fighting has spread throughout Guanzhong, so Cao Zhen will not be careless.

Anyway, I have superior troops in hand, and the terrain is flat and wide, so I can deploy a large army.

Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

A battle between thousands of people and a battle against tens of thousands of people are two completely different concepts.

Because in this era, no matter how high a commander's command is, he can only command what can be clearly seen with the eyes.

Five to six thousand people, that's already the top.

The rest can only be left to the generals under his command.

Tens of thousands of people from both sides faced each other on a vast land. The coach could only arrange tactics before the battle, deploying different troops in different directions.

The attacker will constantly try from all directions to find the weak link of the defender.

When it comes to actual battles, the commander will deploy troops and generals based on the situation reported by the generals below.

As for the specific performance of his men, the coach cannot control it at any time.

This is why it is said that a thousand armies are easy to win, but a general is rare.

When it comes time for the coach to go into battle, the situation is basically too tragic, or it has reached the final moment.

"It seems that the number of Cao thieves should be more than 50,000."

At the highest point of the camp, Guan Ji, dressed in military uniform, held up a telescope and watched as the Wei army on the opposite side began to slowly mobilize and continuously deploy troops to its two wings.

She silently made an estimate in her mind and spoke.

Cao Cao's current displayed strength has reached at least 30,000 to 40,000 troops.

As usual, in such a battle, the first day for both sides is to set up their military formations and test the opponent's strength in all directions.

Therefore, it is impossible to use all the troops from the beginning.

Feng Junhou was standing behind Guan Ji, focusing entirely on her armor.

This is a fine armor specially made for Guan Ji by the Hanyang County Manufacturing Bureau. Of course, some of Feng Junhou's ideas were also incorporated into it.

Under the sunlight, Guan Ji, blessed by armor, looked like a Valkyrie.

"If Cao Zhen wanted to attack Longyou with 50,000 elite troops, then he would have to mobilize at least 100,000 troops."

After hearing Guan Ji's words, Feng Yong responded in a long voice.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the officers and soldiers of Xiaowei Mansion are ahead of an era, but to say they are ahead of a century is a matter of course.

Logistics alone is enough to crush any army of the same era.

Not to mention the high degree of organizational power at the grassroots level in the military and the most basic qualities of soldiers.

The captain's office said it had 20,000 elite soldiers, but according to the standards of this era, it was perfectly normal to organize a force of 100,000 troops with 20,000 elite soldiers.

But is that necessary?

It's not necessary at all.

Even though Feng Yong knew that Cao Zhen wanted to use superior force to crush him on the plains, he still dared to run over because he had faith:

Even if I can't beat you, don't even think about eating me in one bite.

Otherwise, based on Feng Tubao's temperament, he would have led his army into the desert long ago.

Anyway, there are Huqi in the army, so what are you afraid of?

At worst, I'll spend a year and a half wandering around in the desert.

And with Guan Ji by my side, I won’t be too lonely on the way...

While the two were talking, they saw that Wei Jun was the first to take action in the southeast corner.

Guan Ji shouted loudly: "Xun Wei! Du Men!"

At the same time, he picked up the small flag on the table in front of him and waved it a few times.

The coach's drum beat soon started, and at the same time the messengers rode horses and ran to the southeast.

After receiving the military order from the commander, there was no movement on the outermost layer of the Han army in the southeast corner, but the inside was already turning. At the same time, a reserve battalion from the commander's camp entered the southeast corner to respond.

The Wei army's attempted attack of two thousand infantry quickly disappeared in the southeast corner of the Han army's formation.

This made Cao Zhen frown again: Why do I think this Shu prisoner is a little weird?
Chapter completed!
