Whoosh.
The flag of the Jiangdong Army fluttered in the wind as the army parted ways midway.
Li Jing led 30,000 infantrymen and followed the navy to Li Zitong's rear.
As for Cao Yun and Xuan Ling, they led their troops towards Wu County. They planned to appear in front of Li Zitong.
This move was mainly to confuse Li Zitong and not let him know that the real main force of the Jiangdong Army had already detoured to the rear.
Most importantly, Cao Yun was in this army, so he had the ability to confuse people.
When the sun was about to set, Cao Yun led the army and arrived at the periphery of Wu County.
The army did not attack Wu County, but set up camp outside Wu County.
At this moment, the sun was setting. The afterglow refracted on the river surface, making the river surface look like the Milky Way.
"Soldiers, do whatever you need to do tonight. You can even drink to celebrate, but don't be greedy.”
After the camp was settled, Cao Yun personally announced to the soldiers.
In the end, his roommate, Xuan Ling, looked at each other and smiled.
Arriving at Wu County at dusk, he let the soldiers relax in the Anza camp.
Cao Yun did not stop him from drinking a little or taking the opportunity to relax.
If Li Zitong knew about the military situation, then this person would definitely be suspicious.
"Thank you, my lord!"
The tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jiangdong Army all shouted.
Then, at night, the soldiers lit a bonfire and drank in front of it.
Some even took off their armor and competed with their companions.
The relevant scenes were immediately captured by the scouts of Wu County. After receiving the news, the scouts quickly informed Li Zitong.
"Strange. According to the size of the tent, there should be about ten thousand soldiers.”
After hearing the relevant information, Li Zitong, who was sitting in front of the table, muttered.
Wu Yunzhao, who was beside him, frowned slightly as if he was thinking about the Jiangdong Army's plans.
An army of 10,000 was far from comparable to the main force of Wu County.
An ordinary person would definitely not bring only 10,000 troops, nor would they arrive at night.
Naturally, they wouldn't show such a lax appearance after arriving at Anza's tent. This action was strange both inside and outside.
"Could it be that this fellow is deliberately showing weakness and wants our army to attack at night?”
Li Zitong narrowed his eyes slightly.
He naturally did not believe that the Jiangdong Army only had 10,000 men. If that was the case, how could the Jiangdong Army dominate the Huai River?
Moreover, Cao Yun had an expert by his side to guide him, and there were countless strange and wonderful plans. This false reality made him not dare to act rashly.
"This Cao Yun of the Jiangdong Army, is he comparing me to Gao Tansheng? He even used such childish tricks?”
Li Zitong sneered.
"Let's not do anything. I want to see what he can do by leaving him to the side.”
Li Zitong confidently issued an order. He ordered the Wu County army to remain still and strengthen their defenses.
"Impossible, the Jiangdong Army rose so powerfully, how could they do something useless?”
On the side, Wu Yunzhao's expression changed one after another. He did not believe that the Jiangdong Army would do something so meaningless.
Moreover, all of this seemed to be deliberately showing weakness, so he immediately had a bold guess.
"My lord, I believe that the Jiangdong Army outside must only have 10,000 troops. Their true main force has taken a detour to the rear!”
Wu Yunzhao said hurriedly.
"My lord, this is the best time to send troops to attack the Jiangdong army. This way, even if we are outflanked, we can still counterattack!”
Wu Yunzhao urged.
Even if the 10,000 troops of the River East Army were really hiding a killer move to trick Li Zitong.
However, they could also go and test the waters. If that was really the case, the army could quickly retreat.
Li Zitong frowned when he heard that.
In his opinion, if he was really ambushed by the Jiangdong Army, how could he retreat just like that?
"Impossible, the Jiangdong Navy can't attack again. What's the use of going around the rear?”
Before Wu Yunzhao could finish speaking, Li Zitong directly asserted.
"Yunzhao, although the Jiangdong Army is powerful, we're not bad either. Don't lose your mind and panic.”
Wu Yunzhao still wanted to say something, but Li Zitong raised his hand and interrupted him.
Ever since he was about to fight with the Jiangdong Army, Li Zitong felt that Wu Yunzhao was letting his imagination run wild and was no longer as calm as before.
He thought that he was frightened by the Jiangdong Army, so he said these words.
Wu Yunzhao sighed and did not say anything else.
The Wu County Army quickly issued the order to deal with all changes without changing the situation.
For the next two to three days, there was no movement from the Wu County Army.
The Jiangdong Army also restrained themselves a little and no longer let the soldiers drink like before.
"Look, I'm afraid Cao Yun is at his wit's end right now. He didn't expect me to stay put.”
On the city wall, Li Zitong, who was looking into the distance, stroked his beard and laughed.
Judging from the reaction of the Jiangdong Army, it was indeed similar to what he had said.
......
Just as there was no movement on the battlefield in Wu County.
Hundreds of warships suddenly appeared in the waters outside Yuhang County.
Because it was late at night, and there were few soldiers in the rear, and there was no battle at the front, the rear was more relaxed.
It was already midnight, and the patrolling soldiers had already fallen asleep.
Even if there were soldiers standing guard, they were still yawning and in a daze. No one noticed the movement in the water at all.
When the warship docked, many soldiers of the Jiangdong Army in bright red armor got off the warship.
After they entered the shore, they quickly concealed themselves to avoid being discovered by the enemy.
After the navy entered this place, they didn't move.
Although the 10,000 navy did not participate in the battle, they still had the effect of sealing the river.
This way, even if Li Zitong's army retreated from the river, they would not be able to retreat.
Water routes were not desirable, let alone land.
After all, the 30,000 troops led by Li Jing had deliberately taken a detour to block their retreat and also destroyed the troops of the two counties.
This was like attacking Li Zitong's rear, cutting off his escape route, making him in a dilemma.
"Urgent march!"
Li Jing was the first to issue an order after they got ashore.
The 30,000 strong army headed towards Yuhang County and Kuaiji County respectively.
After destroying the army behind Li Zitong, it would be time for Li Jing to lead the army to surround Li Zitong.
After the order was given, the army set off quietly under the cover of the night. The first to arrive was naturally the nearby Yuhang County.
Because it was the third watch, it was the time when the Yuhang County guards were tired and relaxed their vigilance.
"Attack the city!"
Li Jing did not hesitate for a moment and immediately gave the order to attack the city.
The siege ladder was quietly built. The soldiers tried to relax and climb up the city wall.
