"With such a huge attraction, it would be difficult for the Zhou army not to fall for it. As long as we hold on until the reinforcements arrive and kill all the surrounding Zhou army, we will obtain a great victory!”
Xue Wanjun also understood and was instantly overjoyed.
"Wan Jun, lead 20,000 infantrymen to Handan City. Your mission is to defend that place.”
Then, Xue Shixiong, who was a clean and efficient soldier, ordered.
"Yes."
Xue Wanjun heard this and took a few steps forward to receive the order.
"10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry will remain in Ye City to prevent the Zhou army from ambushing our rear.”
Xue Shixiong said in a deep voice.
Even if there was only a 10% chance that Zhou Juncong would sneak attack them, they would still take precautions.
"10,000 cavalrymen and 30,000 infantrymen will quickly march to the outskirts of Handan City to ambush.”
After thinking for a moment, Xue Shixiong continued to state his intention.
"Yes, Father."
Xue Wanche raised his hands to receive the military order.
"Quickly gather the army and set off, the faster the better.”
Xue Shixiong reminded him again. The two brothers looked at each other and left the hall one after another.
Thus, the plan to deal with the Zhou army was completely confirmed.
“.......”
The two armies were quickly deployed, and Xue Wanjun was guarding Handan City.
"Report, the vanguard of the Zhou army is attacking!"
A scout spotted traces of the Zhou army and hurried over to report.
"Alright, let's pretend we're defeated and lure them near Handan City.”
Xue Wanjun laughed loudly, and the plan was officially executed.
"Yes."
The scouts received the order and quickly issued the relevant military orders. They asked the various counties outside Handan City to pretend that they were no match for the Zhou army so that they could drive straight in.
The vanguard of the Zhou army had a total of 10,000 people, led by Dou Jiande.
"Kill them!"
Under Dou Jiande's leadership, the Sui army was utterly defeated. In less than an hour, the Sui army retreated in a hurry.
"Strange, these are the elite soldiers of the Sui army.”
Dou Jiande frowned slightly. The enemy's retreat was really strange. Moreover, since they met the Sui army, it was too easy to capture the county cities along the way.
"Pass down my order. Don't chase too closely.”
This made Dou Jiande wary, and he slowed down his marching speed, trying not to pursue the Sui army.
Just like that, they slowly marched forward. As the Sui army was defeated, the Zhou army quickly approached Handan City.
However, just as he was about to step into Handan City, Dou Jiande stopped advancing and stayed at the periphery of Handan City.
"Damn it, I lured you here because I wanted you to quickly attack Handan City. Why did you suddenly stop?”
Xue Wanjun, who was watching from the top of the city wall, immediately realized this and cursed.
"The Sui army was defeated along the way and we were unable to attract them. We were afraid of being ambushed when we entered Handan City.”
Dou Jiande was also secretly anxious.
His character was vigilant and never eager for quick success. In addition, his main task was to attract Sui Jun out. How could he take the initiative to bump into him?
Hence, Dou Jiande was outside Handan City and didn't know what to do.
"Haven't you tasted the sweetness enough?"
The two armies were in a stalemate for a long time. One side did not move, and the other side did not move. Xue Wanjun was a little impatient.
If the Zhou army did not come in, what was the point of his father's ambush?
"Take 15,000 elites and follow me to lure the Zhou army here.”
Xue Wanjun was afraid that the other party would run away, so he ordered.
Since the Zhou army was still hesitating, they would take the initiative to attack and pretend to be defeated again.
"Yes, General."
The deputy general received the military order and quickly passed it down. After the army had gathered, Xue Wanjun wore armor and personally led the army out of the city to meet the enemy.
"He finally took the initiative to attack."
Seeing that the Sui army, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly gathered an army and charged straight at their side, Dou Jiande was instantly overjoyed.
The two of them had their own plans. When the Sui army forced their way over, Dou Jiande led the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner.
Dou Jiande was extremely meticulous in controlling the distance and speed of retreat. He always gave the Sui army a feeling that he could catch up.
"Retreat instead of attacking?"
Xue Wanjun was stunned for a moment, thinking about why this scene seemed familiar.
"Ta Ta…"
With the sound of his boots, Xue Wanjun had unknowingly left Handan County and stepped into a trap.
"Kill them!"
When the Sui army stepped into the ambush area, Fang Xuanling, who had set up an ambush, shouted.
"Hua hua…"
Their armors collided with each other, and sharp lights flashed from all directions. A large number of Zhou soldiers charged out from both sides, even blocking their escape path.
"Lure the enemy in?"
When Xue Wanjun saw this, he finally understood why it was so familiar. It turned out that it was what he wanted to do.
"Break out of the encirclement and retreat, quickly."
Xue Wanjun did not have time to think. Since they were ambushed by the Zhou army, the most important thing was to break out.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Right at this moment, a rain of arrows shot from all directions, so dense that it was impossible to drill through.
"Ah!"
Screams rose and fell, and a bloody mist quickly spread. After the arrow rain, the Zhou army attacked from both sides and quickly attacked the Sui army.
"Puchi, puchi!"
Xue Wanjun was already sweating profusely from anxiety. He led the two to three thousand people beside him and charged towards the rear.
For a moment, broken limbs and blood stains with minced meat were everywhere, and a thick smell of blood spread.
"Kill them!"
Xue Wanjun shouted angrily and personally led three thousand men to break out of the encirclement.
In the end, Xue Wanjun led two to three hundred men to break out of the encirclement and flee back to Handan City in panic.
As for the rest of the Sui army, they either died in battle or surrendered and became captives.
"Cunxiao, surround Handan City for me.”
Lin Changye did not stop and quickly gave the order to march.
"Rumble…"
With the hooves of the horses galloping, the twelve thousand Flying Tiger Cavalry, under Li Cunxiao's lead, quickly surrounded Handan City.
Now, they only needed to wait for the Sui army's reinforcements to come and destroy their effective strength bit by bit.
After winning the battle, Dou Jiande quickly headed to the central army.
"Advisor Jun, I noticed that something was wrong with the Sui army during the march.”
Dou Jiande quickly informed Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and the others about the strange retreat of the Sui army.
"This Xue Shixiong isn't easy to deal with. I'm afraid he's thinking the same thing as us.”
Fang Xuanling wasn't too surprised. Xue Shixiong was a famous general.
Otherwise, why would the Sui army deliberately lure them there? If there was no ambush, it would be completely meaningless.
"It's just that they didn't expect that we would use the same strategy, and that we would be faster than them.”
Li Jing laughed out loud.
“………”
On the other side, the news of Handan City's defeat quickly reached Xue Shixiong's ears.
"What? He lost?"
Xue Shixiong exclaimed in disbelief when he heard the latest news.
Firstly, they were defeated too quickly. Secondly, the Sui army seemed to be attracting them.
"The Zhou army's battle plan has completely disrupted our deployment. The capable people around Zhou Hou are amazing.”
Xue Shixiong's expression turned serious.
