Ye County.

Xiahou Xuan was full of anxiety and was walking repeatedly on the top of the city. His heart was so nervous that he was thrusting straight. As the first time he was in battle, he was also a yellow girl who was in the sedan chair - the first time.

He was in the theoretical stage and had no practical experience to deal with the Yan thief who had been fighting all year round, and he was even more unsure.

He even felt a little distressed: "Everyone calls Tian Yu the ever-winning general, but how long does it take to retake the island chain now? Is fifteen days enough? If not, one month is enough, right?"

Although we also know that marching and using troops is basically unreasonable to judge. No one can truly predict how long a war will take, when to win, and when to lose. Unless there is the most complete understanding of the enemy, and the absolute advantage of all parties, we can understand whether we have the power to fight.

Cheng Xi smiled bitterly and said, "General, don't worry. Ye County is the county of Donglai County after all, and the city walls are most solid and solid. Even if the Yan army has six or seven thousand troops, it is not worth worrying."

Xiahou Xuan sighed: "I hope this is the case."

The people of Ye County were panic, and almost two thousand defenders held their weapons tightly. Some were so nervous that they sweated in their palms, some were so nervous that they couldn't speak smoothly, and some were not sure whether they were scared or heatstroke. They fell pale on the ground, and they didn't know what happened.

In the evening, the sun was sunny and the scout came to report. The man almost rushed back, rolling up countless dust. The defenders of Ye County urgently ordered the door to be opened.

The scout rode his horse in, and the officials along the way ignored it. They went straight to Xiahou Xuan and turned off the horse. Their steps were already a little staggering, holding the door frame with their right hand, and their faces were pale.

Xiahou Xuan frowned and said, "Let me tell me carefully, where has the Yan army reached now?"

The scout didn't rest for a moment, and sat on the horse's back. He had some skewers and was speechless: "Go back to the general... Yan thief, Yan thief is stationed eighty miles away from here."

Xiahou Xuan let out a "Oh" sound and fell into thought.

According to the strategy of using troops, if you are stationed eighty miles away, you really plan to attack Ye County. This distance greatly avoids the possibility of marching and robbing the village. After all, it is impossible to take advantage of the unstable establishment of the village within a day and a night.

"Continue to explore. Since he is stationed eighty miles away, it seems that he will march to attack the city in less than three days. All the soldiers must make a complete plan and not underestimate the enemy."

Xiahou Xuan immediately ordered everyone to say.

Cheng Xi nodded: "This battle is quite difficult."

The scout hesitated for a while and said, "There is another thing. The villain personally investigated the layout of the Yan camp. It covers a wide area and the fences of the village walls are also very wide. It is found that the camp was unexpectedly large, unlike a camp of six or seven thousand people, but a bit like a camp of tens of thousands of people. The villain dared not approach, and the Yan thieves were patrolling very extensively, so they could only pick a place to observe secretly. The twenty-eight scouts sent out, only one of the villains came back alive."

Xiahou Xuan was stunned: "Since ancient times, using troops to set up camps is due to the strict rules, easy defense and difficult attack, but not the size of the enclosure. The Yan bandits built such a large camp for no reason, which violated the military strategy. It seems that Liu Zhi was not the one who knew the military strategy. If it weren't for the few soldiers in my city, taking the risk of robbing the village would be a great opportunity."

Speaking of this, it is also known that Ye County does not have the ability to attack except defense or retreat at this time, otherwise it would be a waste of time to die. After all, there were at least six or seven thousand people in the main force of Yan thieves, and it was extremely dangerous to rob the village.

Cheng Xi also felt something was wrong and said to the scout: "Continue to explore."

The scout loudly said, "Yes!"

At this time, the Yan army had already been led by Liu Qu, changed their armor, put on the clothes of ordinary fishermen, carried loads, and pushed a wheelbarrow to travel quietly from the path.

The group was about 3,000 people, and they quickly arrived along the coast. Yan Xu had sent a large ship to pick him up. After the ten large ships were docked, he quickly led 500 people to patrol the surroundings to prevent any enemy troops from peeping.

First, he blinded the enemy's eyes, waited for 3,000 people to board the boat, and tonight, he walked around the sea, and then landed in another conspicuous location. He wore Yan's armor and sent it into the Yan army camp openly. Others seemed to have three thousand reinforcements coming.

After three thousand people boarded the boat, Yan Xu immediately ordered the soldiers to dismount the boat and sailed off the coast.

The next day, ten slave ships docked at another place, and all three thousand people were replaced with armor in Yan army clothing. Liu Qu led everyone ashore with great fanfare, only walking along the way, not walking on the small road.

This action quickly alarmed the scouts along the way. Seeing the vast three thousand Yan troops landing on the coast, they quickly entered the Yan army camp.

The Wei army's scout was frightened and hurried back to Ye County without stopping to report to Xiahou Xuan to find out.

"Another three thousand more soldiers?"

Upon hearing this news, Xiahou Xuan, who was already in fear, had another sad look on his face, his handsome face twisted a little, and said angrily: "No wonder the Yan thief actually built the camp so wide. It turned out to be to accommodate reinforcements from Yan State."

Cheng Xi smiled bitterly and said, "After this increase in troops, even if there were six or seven thousand people when they arrived the day before yesterday, there would be ten thousand people now. This is five times the strength of Ye County."

Xiahou Xuan saw his fear and snorted: "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it just ten thousand people? I'm sorry he can't attack us."

The irritability in his heart is imagined. He pondered a little, paced back and forth on the mansion, and finally compromised with reality, frowned and said, "Let's do this, just in case, recruit the village heroes first, and gather all the men over fifteen in the city in the way of five to one. Try to distribute any weapons in the arsenal."

Cheng Xi had no choice but to agree with this strategy. After all, Ye County, as the county in Donglai County, has a large population, with about 30,000 people. After half of the average, it is women and children. Three thousand males can be drawn by five draws one. Adding two thousand elite soldiers and armor, there can be 5,000 people, which is better than nothing.

Such behavior is basically a tactic of exhausting ammunition and food. After all, there is no way to ask for help from other cities at this time. According to such a method of drawing, it will greatly affect the agricultural affairs of the people of Ye County.

The most important thing is that it is undoubtedly telling the people all over the city how severe the situation is at this time.

However, something even more terrifying happened the next day. When the scout found out the news and came back to report the situation in the evening, he learned that there were Yan army ships docked along the coast, and more than 3,000 more troops were added, and they had already entered the Yan army camp.
