On July 26, Liu Fan spent three days digging a ravine of more than 200 steps outside his camp, and placed dry firewood between the ravines within fifty steps to make fire protection for the camp wall.

They began to implement the plan.

Liu Fan explored the defenses on several mountain roads on the hill where Liu Xin was, and decided to capture the top of the mountain with all his strength in one day. There were more than ten roads that could go up the mountain. He attacked with all his strength and put the most elite troops and generals together.

, I don’t believe that the other party can resist it.

When Huang Zhong saw the enemy's army leaving, he calculated the enemy's strength and found that there should be no more than three thousand in the camp, so he called Huang Quan and Zhao Yun together to discuss countermeasures.

"The enemy actually came up with such a method. They have archers guarding the ravines. If you enter the ravine array rashly, you will definitely suffer a lot of losses. And in the ravine, our army does not know the location of the opponent's trap, so we have to break into the enemy's camp.

Very difficult.

We can only send a small number of elites to attack from multiple directions!" Huang Quan said at this time.

"Or we can completely ignore the outside of the opponent's camp and continue to harass their main force. As long as there are five more days, they will be defeated if they cannot capture the caravan." Zhao Yun said.

Huang Zhong agreed with Zhao Yun's proposal. If he wanted to attack the opponent's various serpentine ravines, he would not be afraid of the opponent's archers, but the opponent's trap. If the opponent's army turned back, they would be in danger, but he seemed to feel that the opponent had something obvious in his heart.

Flaw, I suddenly couldn’t remember it for a while.

When Huang Quan and Zhao Yun were leading their troops to leave, Huang Zhong looked at the opponent's gully formation again. From the surface, it seemed that the opponent only left a gap. To enter the road, only a few people could pass through at the same time, but Huang Zhong knew that there must be a gap.

It is the most dangerous. Liu Yan's army can leave, but they cannot.

"Since you can walk but I can't, I'll destroy this road. Let's see what you do!" Thinking of this, Huang Zhong thought it was feasible. There were not many defenders in the other camp, so they would not dare to leave the camp too far from the gully formation.

If he cuts off the opponent's way back to the camp, it will not be easy for the opponent to go back down the ravines, even if they know there are traps in these ravines.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhong led an army of five thousand to follow the army led by Liu Fan. He asked Huang Quan to wreak havoc on the road outside the enemy's camp. Instead of entering the enemy's trench formation, he dug trenches outside to block the enemy's main road out of the camp.

Liu Fan's army had already begun to attack the mountain at this time. They were Liu Yan's elite army. Most of them had a combat strength of more than 15 points. With their numerical advantage, they launched an attack on the mountain with all their strength.

Huang Quan came to an attack point of the opponent and saw that the opponent had arranged 3,000 troops for him, so he went to kill the opponent. The soldiers at this attack point saw that they had formed a defensive formation and wanted to kill their time, even if he did not have 3,000 troops.

He will be an opponent of the opponent's five thousand elites.

But they said that Liu Yan's civil servants and generals were indeed not comparable to ordinary people. They knew that they had to pay a price to capture the caravan on the mountain. Seeing that Huang Quan had led his troops to kill, all armies began to attack regardless of casualties.

Huang Quan killed the three thousand enemies for a quarter of an hour. Even though they defended with all their strength, more than half of them were killed. However, at this time, enemy troops broke through the mountain siege and began to advance towards the mountainside.

At this time, Liu Xin was very leisurely on the top of the mountain with 500 soldiers. He, Cheng Yu, Zhen Yi, and Xu Shu were drinking tea and chatting about the political affairs of Shu County.

Cheng Yu has not returned to Shu County for three years. The situation in Shu County has changed drastically. However, Xu Shu and Zhen Yi know very little about the entire Shu County. When they heard him talk about the changes caused by every decree in Shu County, everyone admired them.

"My lord, the enemy has established a gully formation and it is not easy for our army to capture the opponent's camp. There are only about five days of food left. Today the opponent will definitely not dare to wait any longer.

If the opponent gathers all their elites to attack all the way, they will most likely be able to break through the blockade." Xu Shu couldn't help but said to Liu Xin when he heard the shouts of killing approaching from the bottom of the mountain.

"Don't worry Yuan Zhi, the opponent's target of breaking through the blockage will definitely be the goods and the Zhen family on the top of the mountain. We have three lines of defense, how can it be so easy for the opponent to kill us.

If the opponent lets the military generals and elites break through all the way...that would be better, it would be easier to deal with them in one fell swoop," Liu Xin said.

The first time he fought against Liu Yan, Liu Yan didn't know how bad his army was, but Liu Xin knew how strong his elite army was.

The elites of the three battalions plus the cavalry of Yiqu, nearly ten thousand people, were not qualified to deal with the thirty thousand regular soldiers of the company. If Liu Xin hadn't wanted to show off to Zhen Yi, he would have brought five lieutenants with him.

If he could keep the caravan safe, he would definitely win beautifully today and make the Zhen family who followed him surrender, as well as Xu Shu and the newly joined Jingzhou family who had joined his lineup.

If you surrender to yourself, you will have less trouble when you come to Shu County in the future, and you can better implement your new policy. He brought more than ten [College Lieutenants] together, including one [Partial General] and four [Pi Generals].

In the first battle, he wanted Liu Yan to know his strength.

Zhen Yi was drinking tea while listening to the shouts of killing from the foot of the mountain outside the tent. She wanted to say something to Liu Xin, but she didn't say anything. At this time, a herald came in from outside the tent.

"Lord! The enemy troops on the southern march are almost at the pass. There are five thousand troops on the other side. They are attacking without regard for their own casualties." The herald said to Liu Xin.

"Who is the guard along the way?" Liu Xin asked.

"General Zhang Ren!" said the herald.

"Go down! If Zhang Ren can't resist, he will send someone for help himself," Liu Xin said.

Zhang Ren is a top-notch general. As [General Pi], the strength of the soldiers around him is basically above 40 points. Even if the opponent sends hundreds of generals, they may not be able to kill them. Zhang Ren lets the soldiers fight with the opponent like this. That is training the soldiers.

He has the ability to fight bloody battles, and there are many opportunities for such bloody battles. Even if he lets go of some enemy troops, there are still hundreds of Zhen family elites behind him, and they will not pose any threat to the top of the mountain at all.

After a while, the herald came again and told Liu Xin that Zhang Ren had killed the enemy.

Until the afternoon, various battle reports continued to come in. Liu Xin had never left the big tent. Everyone admired Liu Xin even more, because at this time Huang Quan had led an army to defeat the enemy's three-pronged army of nearly ten thousand people. If this continues, the opponent

It is impossible to attack the mountain.

"Report! My lord, Lord Huang Xu sent people to report that the enemy's army is strong and our army has suffered serious losses. We ask for your lord's support." The herald came into the tent and shouted.

"Everyone, here comes the wait! The victory of this battle has been decided. Don't go down the mountain, I will be back soon." Liu Xin said, picking up his spear and leaving the camp. There were 200 soldiers outside the tent.
Chapter completed!
