Chapter 82

In the afternoon of the next day, Qu Yi led his troops to a place three miles away from Dai County, and set up camp in Zhongshan County.

Qu Yi was very cautious, he didn't even set up camp in Dai Commandery, he would rather waste half a day rushing to Dai Commandery.

Camping within the boundaries of Zhongshan County, even if Yan Gang wanted to take action, he had to consider whether to send troops across half of the county.

Sitting in the big camp, Qu Yi said to the other lieutenants: "You must be more vigilant tonight. Even if this is not Daijun, you must be vigilant."

"You all know that Gongsun Zan was unable to attack our Zhongshan County so many times because he was not vigilant enough and always fell into the trap."

"Beware of the enemy's camp robbery, even if Yan Gang is short of troops, you must be more careful!"

Qu Yi asked his lieutenants to immediately prepare to deploy the night watch forces that should be there, making sure to ensure safety at night.

What's more, Qu Yi also divided the army into three camps, forming a situation where they could take care of each other.

Under such circumstances, once a camp is attacked, the troops of the other two camps can support each other.

If an encirclement circle is formed, unless there are a large number of enemy troops that sneak attack, it will be difficult to escape if they come to sneak attack enemy troops.

However, camping in three camps has the disadvantage of consuming a lot of supplies.

But Koji didn't care.

Having not slept all night, Qu Yi had to be cautious. He spent almost the whole night guarding against whether the camp would be robbed by the enemy.

Because robbing the camp not only represents Yan Gang's sneak attack, but also represents Yan Gang's attitude of defending the city, whether he decides to fight to the death.

Robbing the camp means that Yan Gang has a high desire for defense; not robbing the camp means that he is just putting on a show and guarding Daijun.

In the early morning of the next day, Qu Yi squinted his eyes after dawn, had a simple breakfast and set off from the village.

He was in his prime, and Qu Yi was also a powerful general, so staying up all night would not have much impact.

At four quarters noon, Qu Yi led his troops to Daijun.

He looked at the defenders on the city wall and snorted coldly.

A lieutenant rode close to Qu Yi's horse and asked, "General, should we attack the city directly? Our marching speed is not fast, and the soldiers are quite strong."

Hearing the lieutenant general's question, Qu Yi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the whole army rests on the spot for half an hour, and then let them go to the camp and attack the city first!"

With one blow of Qu Yi's spear, all the soldiers behind him sat down to rest and recover their strength.

After marching for a long time, and then suddenly sitting down to rest, many soldiers will have numb legs, but half an hour is enough to recover.

Yan Gang stood on the tower of Daijun, he squinted his eyes and looked at Qu Yi's army not far away, feeling puzzled.

Yan Gang thought in his heart: "What is Qu Yi planning? Doesn't he know that it is taboo for military strategists to rest directly after a hasty march?"

"The current enemy army can't exert half of its combat power at all. Their legs will be sore and numb after a long journey. Should I lead my troops to charge?"

Yan Gang couldn't understand why Qu Yi, who was cautious in using troops, would make such a mistake. He subconsciously thought that Qu Yi was tempting himself to leave the city.

Qu Yi rode on horseback and looked at Dai Jun from afar, he sneered, he didn't care about Dai Jun's Yan Gang.

One of Qu Yi's lieutenants hesitated to speak, but he finally rode up to Qu Yi and made a suggestion.

"General, it is a big taboo for military strategists to repair in front of the enemy's city after a quick march. You have always used your troops cautiously, why are you taking such risks now?"

The lieutenant general only knew that this was a taboo among military strategists, but he couldn't tell the reason.After all, he is just a lieutenant general and doesn't know much.

Hearing the lieutenant general's question, Qu Yi laughed loudly, and then said: "Hahaha! You are right, it is indeed wrong to rest here."

"However, I did not take the risk, but I have thoroughly understood Yan Gang's attitude."

"Yan Gang didn't dare to lead troops out to rob the camp at the border of Daijun last night. He obviously didn't want to defend Daijun to the death, and he certainly wouldn't take the risk to rush out now."

"On the contrary, if he really rushed out, I would be even happier. Because he doesn't control many troops, my first camp army is enough to defeat him! On the contrary, the assault battle will consume troops, and I don't want to do that."

Qu Yi smiled confidently, he was very happy that his lieutenant general could raise doubts and remind himself at the same time.

But soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Qu Yi's use of troops is changeable, and he is good at trying to figure out the mind of the enemy general.

Yan Gang didn't dare to lead his troops out of Daijun at all, he was still observing the movements of the enemy troops in the distance in Daijun.

Half an hour later, Qu Yi went to the camp first to rest, and the recruits and veterans were also full of energy.

Qu Yi raised his spear and asked all the soldiers to stand up and form a neat formation.

Qu Yi led the troops very strictly, so the soldiers under his command were very effective and disciplined.

Qu Yi shouted: "Li De, lead your recruits to charge directly! The charging team follows closely, and the others are responsible for protecting the rushing cars."

"Go to the first battalion first and follow closely behind, and launch an attack on Daijun. The archer team suppresses the defenders on the city wall from a long distance!"

"The follow-up troops are responsible for protecting the ladder, soldiers of Jizhou, charge with me!"

Qu Yi was so imposing that he immediately rode out and ordered the whole army to charge towards Dai County.

The soldiers under his command shouted one after another, with great momentum, and they were even more energetic after resting for half an hour.

The soldiers of Daijun saw that the Jizhou army had launched a charge, and they hurriedly prepared to defend the city.

Yan Gang also became serious. He had already started to relax his vigilance, but now he immediately became vigilant.

"The archers are ready to shoot their arrows and keep those Jizhou thieves out of the range of their arrows! The pikemen are ready, and the guards will move all the stones up!"

Yan Gang immediately ordered to prepare to defend the city. He is also a veteran general who has experienced many battles, and his force is not weak.

But he doesn't have the confidence now. On the one hand, it is because of the lack of troops, and on the other hand, Qu Yi's reputation as the first to enter the camp is illustrious.

Maybe the other princes didn't know about going to the camp first, but both Yan Gang and Gongsun Zan knew it well.

Qu Yi's first camp can suppress Baima Yicong in field battles. Judging from such combat effectiveness alone, Yan Gang dare not underestimate him.

"Archers, let the arrows go! Let the arrows go!"

Yan Gang let out a loud roar, seeing that Qu Yi's vanguard had reached the place where an arrow could be shot in Daijun, he immediately ordered to release the arrow.

Qu Yi's lieutenant yelled loudly and shouted: "Everyone charge quickly, don't be afraid, those who climb the city wall of Daijun will be rewarded!"

Not afraid to shoot at the arrow feathers, the lieutenant charged forward and knocked away a few arrow feathers with the saber in his hand.

"kill!"

"Brothers, let's go together and take down Daijun!"

Many Jizhou soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, but others did not flinch because of it.

The charging soldiers bravely marched forward without fear of death.

Qu Yi saw that the enemy army started to shoot arrows, and he immediately ordered: "Archers, shoot at the enemy army on the wall!"

"The crossbowman who boarded the camp first, get ready, suppress the city wall of Daijun from a long distance, and prepare to release arrows!"

Qu Yi controls a very small number of crossbow bolts, and these light crossbow bolts are the combat power most relied on in the first camp.

Two rows of archers and a row of crossbowmen found the shooting position and shot directly at Daijun.

Moreover, the crossbowman who boarded the camp first had excellent archery skills, and Yan Gang was surprised by a round of shooting, and hurriedly hid behind the city wall.

Dozens of defenders in Dai County were shot by arrows, and they fell down in response, being dragged behind by the soldiers behind them.

"The city-charging troop speeds up, and the ladder team puts up the ladder and attacks the city!"

Qu Yi yelled again, and the soldiers under his command had already taken advantage of the opportunity just now to approach the city wall of Daijun.
