Since they had decided to attack Lujiang County, they should discuss how to attack.
"The city of Lujiang County is very strong. There are about 30,000 soldiers in the city. If we attack forcefully, it won't be so easy to take it.”
Cao Yun frowned slightly.
"We estimate that we have 20,000 soldiers. Unless we send out all of them, we won't be able to take down Lujiang County.”
Hou Junji slowly said, stroking his chin.
Even if he sent out all his forces, he did not have much confidence in taking down Lujiang County.
"I have a plan."
Since he had decided to attack Lujiang County, Fang Xuanling naturally had his own plan.
Hou Junji had already accepted Fang Xuanling, so there was no need to talk about Cao Yun. He knew Fang Xuanling's abilities.
"Our army can pretend to come out in full force and let General Hou lead a portion of the army out of the city. When we arrive at Lujiang Prefecture, we won't be in a hurry to attack the city and will instead camp in the same place.”
Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes.
"If Tu Wanxu, the general of Lujiang County, saw us coming out in full force, what would he think?”
Fang Xuanling asked Hou Junji.
In Tu Wanxu's eyes, the rebel army of Liyang County was just a rebel army with more soldiers. He probably shared the same opinion as the county governor of Liyang County, Wang He.
He would not put the rebel army in his eyes at all. If he discovered that the rebel army had come out in full force, he would definitely choose to take the opportunity to attack Liyang County and take it down in one fell swoop.
After taking down Liyang County, he would return to Lujiang County and work with the defenders of Lujiang County to wipe out Cao Yun's army.
"Sir's plan has completely grasped the enemy's mentality.”
Cao Yun nodded slightly after hearing the plan.
The success of the plan depended on what kind of person Tu Wanxu was.
"Brilliant plan!"
Hou Junji praised Fang Xuanling's plan.
He thought that if he were to encounter an enemy with such a formation, the first thing he would do was to attack their nest.
"Tu Wanxu must have underestimated him.”
Fang Xuanling said firmly. It was not hard to see that he had Tu Wanxu under his control.
"In that case, let's act according to the military counselor's plan.”
Having made up his mind, Cao Yun did not delay any further.
"Hou Junji will lead his two thousand soldiers to Lujiang County with tents and flags. Once they reach Lujiang County, they will do as the military counselor says. They will set up camp and erect many flags to disguise themselves as an army of twenty thousand.”
Cao Yun quickly ordered.
"Understood!"
Hou Junji clasped his hands.
After that, he did not delay for a moment. After obtaining the commander's seal, he quickly gathered the army to prepare tents and other items. Then, he headed straight for Lujiang County.
"On the way from Lujiang County to Liyang County, there is a road that we must pass through, Banyang Mountain. I will lead 10,000 troops to ambush here.”
After Hou Junji had left, Cao Yun asked Fang Xuanling.
"Banyang Mountain has a valley path, and this valley path is the only path that the Sui army must pass through.”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled.
He had a general idea of how to take Lujiang Prefecture.
Cao Yun immediately gathered 10,000 troops and set off in the direction of Banyang Mountain. The remaining 8,000 troops guarded Liyang County. The net had been woven and they were just waiting for the Sui army to charge in.
......
After Hou Junji arrived in Lujiang County, he set up camp.
He followed Cao Yun's instructions and set up tents all over the place. In addition, countless flags were erected. It was indeed the size of an army of 20,000.
After doing all this, Hou Junji ordered his two thousand soldiers to move left and right in the empty tent. At first glance, it looked like four thousand soldiers on patrol.
The Sui army in Lujiang County had a panoramic view of this scene.
On the walls of Lujiang County, Tu Wanxu, who was dressed in silver armor, looked at Hou Junji's tent and frowned.
"This rebel army is from the direction of Liyang County. Based on the size of their camp, there are about 20,000 soldiers.”
Tu Wanxu muttered to himself.
If that was the case, wouldn't the rebel army come out in full force and directly lead a large army to attack Lujiang County?
"Do these rebel soldiers think that they can swallow Lujiang County after taking Liyang County? How dare they arrange their troops like this?”
Tu Wanxu sneered. He didn't hide the disdain in his eyes.
Everything was just as Fang Xuanling had expected. This fellow really did not put Cao Yun's army in his eyes and instantly looked down on them.
"Pass on my orders. Have the 20,000 troops quickly prepare. I will personally lead the 20,000 troops to detour around Liyang County and destroy the nest of these rebel soldiers in one go!”
Tu Wanxu didn't hesitate at all and immediately gave the order.
"Yes, sir!"
The deputy general received the order and quickly adjusted the army according to Tu Wanxu's orders.
It was estimated that in the middle of the night, when Cao Yun's army did not make any movements, Tu Wanxu would personally lead his 20,000-strong army and quietly move towards Liyang County.
He had chosen to march at night so that Hou Junji wouldn't notice anything unusual, but what he didn't know was that Hou Junji had already noticed his movements and was only pretending not to notice.
Tuwanxu's army gradually disappeared into the darkness. Once it was completely gone, Hou Junji stood high above Cao Yun's army and looked down at the departing Tuwanxu.
"The big fish has taken the bait."
He revealed a thought-provoking smile, then left the high ground with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, Cao Yun, Fang Xuanling, and the others had already arrived at Half Sun Mountain. After arriving at Half Sun Mountain, Cao Yun first ordered the army to prepare countless rolling stones.
When Tu Wanxu and his army arrived, he would order his soldiers to block the entrance with boulders, putting on a show of catching a turtle in a jar.
"Report, Rolling Stones is ready."
A Jiangdong Army soldier hurried over to report.
"Report, the rolling stones in the other direction are also ready.”
Immediately after, the soldiers on the other side also quickly reported.
The rolling stones at the entrance and exit had already been arranged, and Cao Yun had also arranged for soldiers to attack with rolling stones.
As long as Tu Wanxu's army entered the valley, even if they had wings, they would have to leave many people behind.
"Hiding!"
Cao Yun said in a deep voice.
After the order was given, the 10,000 soldiers quickly hid at the top of the valley road. The places where they hid were all places where their line of sight was blocked.
Furthermore, Tu Wanxu was marching at night, so it was even more difficult for him to catch Cao Yun and the others hiding in the valley. The outcome of this battle had already been decided before it even started.
Whoosh.
The cold night breeze blew. The cold and bone-piercing wind stimulated everyone's nerves.
Rumble!
Vaguely, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
"He's here."
Cao Yun's eyes turned cold, and his voice became even lower.
