In the direction of Yongjia County.
Liang Sitai returned to Yongjia County with Lin Shihong's reply.
Shen Faxing, who had been in fear, finally calmed down after learning that Lin Shihong was willing to form an alliance.
"With the two armies allied, even if the Jiangdong Army attacks, what is there to fear?”
He stroked his beard and laughed.
On the day the two armies announced their alliance, Xin Yuee, who was riding on the Jiangdong Navy's warship, had already landed on land outside Yongjia County.
"Gather!"
After the troops disembarked from the warship, she quickly gave the order to assemble.
The 30,000 strong army stood in a square formation on the shore.
The true purpose of the ten thousand navy was to bring Xin Yue'e and the others to Yongjia Prefecture so that they could attack Shen Fa Xing unexpectedly.
The other goal was to attack Shen Fa Xing's 5,000-strong navy and eliminate all of his troops.
The main purpose of this battle was to deplete the enemy's strength.
Therefore, Xin Yuee planned to arrange 10,000 soldiers to lie in ambush on the small path outside Yongjia County.
She was certain that if she only led 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 useless cavalrymen to attack the city from the front, Shen Faxing would think that she did not know how to use troops.
Moreover, she was a woman, so it was even easier to numb Shen Faxing.
If they underestimated the enemy, once Xin Yue E retreated, Shen Fa Xing would most likely chase after them.
As long as Shen Fa Xing left the city, the 10,000 soldiers hidden in the dark would be able to ambush him.
This plan was not to break through the city, but to maximize the consumption of Shen Fa Xing's troops.
The soldiers were in position to ambush the enemy, and the navy went around to Yongjia County's water area.
Under the lead of Xin Yuee, the main army headed straight for Yongjia County.
Arriving at Yongjia County, they lined up in front of the city and beat their drums.
Dong dong.
The drumbeats were like thunder, reverberating around Yongjia County.
Shen Fa Xing, who was in the city, heard the drumbeats and his expression changed drastically.
The sound of the war drums was naturally a necessary method to raise morale before a battle.
Normally, when the war drums sounded, there would be enemy troops coming from outside the city.
"Report, the Jiangdong Army has arrived."
As soon as Shen Fa Xing thought of this, a soldier hurried over to report.
"They came so quickly!"
Shen Faxing exclaimed. The Jiangdong Army had obviously moved at lightning speed, and had actually arrived at the city without a sound.
He first ordered the army to press on the city wall to prevent the enemy from attacking.
After putting on his armor, he climbed onto the city wall and looked down at the Jiangdong Army outside the city.
Yongjia Prefecture was guarded by Shen Faxing alone, while Liang Sitai was guarding the other prefectures and cities. Thus, Liang Sitai was not among them.
The entire Jiangdong Army appeared before Shen Faxing's eyes. He deliberately looked at the generals at the front of the army.
When he saw that the enemy general was a female general who was not inferior to men, Shen Faxing was stunned.
"Cao Yun actually sent a female general to attack the city with 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry?”
Shen Fa Xing frowned. Cao Yun's actions seemed to be underestimating his enemy.
In this special period, it was more suitable for women to sew at home. Going to the battlefield should be a man's business.
Seeing that the enemy general was a woman, Shen Fa Xing couldn't help but sneer and look down at Xin Yue Er.
"She's just a woman. What's there to be afraid of?”
Shen Faxing said confidently.
"Attack the city!"
Seeing Shen Fa Xing's expression, Xin Yue 'e knew that he had started to underestimate the enemy. Her lips curled up slightly as she gave the order to attack the city.
The archers would use up all their energy to shoot. After the rain of arrows, it was time for the infantry to start attacking the city while the cavalry surrounded them.
"Kill them!"
The battle cries shook the heavens and the earth as the Jiangdong army began to climb the city wall.
The sword was dazzling and murderous. At the beginning of the siege, the overall momentum of the Jiangdong army became high.
Shen Fa Xing was not afraid at all. Deep in his bones, he believed that women would not be able to take down his city.
As long as he arranged his troops carefully, he would be able to give New Moon Moth no chance to attack.
New Moon Moth's strategy was to attack the city by force.
However, the morale of Yongjia Prefecture was high, and Shen Faxing was calm. It would not be easy to break through the city.
After estimating that there were a certain number of casualties, New Moon Moth hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat, and a trace of panic appeared on her face.
"You're really a girl. If we can't attack forcefully, we'll retreat in panic. The enemy's formation will be in chaos, and it's time for our army to take the initiative to attack!”
Shen Faxing laughed.
The contempt in his heart made him choose to open the city gate and pursue without hesitation.
The sun was setting in the west.
With great ambition, Shen Fa Xing directly went out of the city gate to kill Xin Yue Er.
When Xin Yue E retreated, she used the mobility of the cavalry to make the ten thousand cavalry go around Shen Fa Xing's back.
When Shen Fa Xing led the army to the ambush point, Xin Yue E ordered the ambush to be killed.
"Kill them!"
Just as he was in the midst of pursuing, Shen Fa Xing suddenly heard the sounds of battle coming from both sides of the road.
His expression changed drastically, and his heart thumped.
There was an ambush waiting for the new moon moth!
The ambush was set up on both sides of the road. Shen Fa Xing immediately decided to retreat.
However, just as he was thinking about it, the sound of hooves could be heard from behind him. The Jiangdong cavalry was coming from behind.
In an instant, the entire Jiangdong Army formed a square formation.
"Break out of the encirclement!"
Shen Faxing's hair stood on end. The best way out was to break through the cavalrymen at the back and return to the city.
If he didn't make this choice, Yongjia County would be lost!
"Kill them!"
The Jiangdong Army rushed over. Although the 10,000 cavalrymen were not considered elite at the moment, they were still comparable to regular cavalrymen.
Whoosh.
Warhorses neighed, and the cavalry swept up the dust as they charged towards Shen Fa Xing's main force.
At the same time, the Jiangdong Navy also started fighting the 5,000 sailors. The sound of arrows and heavy crossbows could be heard.
Shen Fa Xing took the lead to raise morale, leading nearly twenty thousand troops to break through the Jiangdong cavalry.
The Yongjia Army was fighting to the death, tearing a hole in the ten thousand cavalry, allowing Shen Fa Xing and his remaining troops to escape.
The rest of the troops died under the charge of the cavalry.
The 20,000 Yongjia soldiers were either dead or had fled the battlefield as deserters.
After this battle, Shen Fa Xing's original 20,000 soldiers were reduced to 3,000 to 4,000 when they fled back to the city.
Even with the four thousand people left in the city, they still didn't have ten thousand soldiers.
It could be seen that he had underestimated his enemy and suffered a heavy blow.
This battle was won, and Xin Yue E led her troops to surround the city, but did not attack.
In his anxiety, Shen Fa Xing sent his soldiers out of the city and sent a letter to Yuzhang County for help.
Shen Fa Xing's actions were all under the gaze of Xin Yue Er. She didn't stop him, and the siege was waiting for Shen Fa Xing to ask for help!
