Yingzhou Prefecture is under Ruyin, and the other general Li Chengshan was patrolling the city. The enemy attacked a large number of troops and was about to approach the city. He claimed to have a population of 100,000. However, there were only a few thousand defenders in Ruyin, and there were not many people in the city. It was difficult for him to defend the city.

However, there is insufficient foreign aid, and it will take some time to wait for strong reinforcements. Ruyin can only rely on the garrison to defend.

After the defeat of Guangling, the official army was defeated like a mountain. The governor of Yingzhou who followed the army to fight was displaced among the chaos. Li Chengshan was ordered to retreat to Ruyin to station, so he became the highest-level official in Ruyin City. Now that the enemy is invading, he is determined to survive and die with Ruyin.

The enemy and us have a huge gap in strength, but Ruyin must not be lost, because Ruyin is located on the bank of the Yingshui River. Once occupied by the enemy, the opponent's army can go south along the Yingshui River and directly attack Shouchun, the important Huainan area.

The north and south have fought for hundreds of years. Shouchun is an important place to guard the Ying River entering Huaikou, which is from the north, and is located west of Wokou (Wo River entering Huaikou), and is formed into a horn with Zhongli, which guards Wokou. Whether it is the northern army going south or the southern army going north, Shouchun must be controlled in his hands.

Now, Hezhou Ruyin, south of Shouchun, has fallen. If it is north of Shouchun, Yingzhou Ruyin, upstream of Yingshui, is also lost, Shouchun can not be defended under the attack of the north and south.

Once Shouchun is lost, Zhongli becomes an isolated city and cannot be defended anymore.

The gains and losses of Ruyin are related to whether the official army can gain a foothold in Huaishui, and Li Chengshan sees this clearly.

If it were the past, he would shrink his troops and defend the city and wait for assistance. Today, the enemy who is invading is the head coach of King Zhu (King of Xiyang) Yuwen Wen. The opponent took only a few days to take Ruyin of Hezhou. How many days can he last?

Wang Yuwen Wen, the son-in-law of the son's biological father and Duke of Qi, has had a brilliant record since the second half of last year. Not only did he succeed in the sneak attack on Xuanhu, but he also blocked Prime Minister Yuchi's army with a lonely city. Later, he defeated the main force of the official army in Shaoling. Li Chengshan knew that it would be very difficult for him to defeat this person.

The enemy and us have a huge gap in strength, but this does not mean that he will surrender without fighting. Yu Wen Wen defended the lonely city with his own army, and Li Chengshan also defended the lonely city with his own army, and Ruyin.

Smoke and dust rose in the suburbs of the south of the city, and several cavalrymen with flags on their backs approached Ruyin. The defenders at the top of the city were a little nervous, but then they relaxed.

The flag is a long flag tied behind the soldiers, usually a mark of scouts and commanders, which distinguishes them from ordinary cavalry. These cavalry close to Ruyin are the scouts sent by Li Chengshan to guard the south. Now they have investigated the enemy situation and rushed back to report.

After the scout entered the city, he reported the military situation he was investigating. As Li Chengshan expected, Yuwen Wen's army had already formed a formation and approached Ruyin. It seemed that he was going to surround Ruyin, and the opportunity to defeat the enemy was almost here.

During this period, according to the scouts' exploration, Li Chengshan learned that the army gathered by Yuwen Wen was actually a mob. Except for a small number of people who could fight the main force, the rest of the troops were all clan soldiers and barbarian soldiers, among which the most were barbarian soldiers.

The more soldiers, the better, especially those troops with uneven quality, the more soldiers, the more likely they will collapse during wars.

The battle between the Former Qin and Jin State of Feishui was rated as one million. Even the vanguard army arrived at Feishui had a large number of troops, and the Jin army was pitifully small. As a result, the Jin army used a little trick and the Former Qin army collapsed without fighting.

The Qin army back then was mixed with a large number of soldiers with poor quality. With just a few rumors, the soldiers would turn around and run away. Therefore, the battle between Qin and Jin Feishui is a good example, and the situation of Yuwen Wen's army is not much better today.

Not to mention the clan soldiers, Li Chengshan had dealt with barbarians from all over the world and knew that no matter where the barbarian soldiers came from, they were actually wasteful except for the large number of people. Not to mention the use of money and food, the two armies were not enough to succeed in the duel.

Now, Yuwen Wen didn't know what methods he used to promise the barbarian chiefs what benefits he had. He summoned so many barbarian soldiers, claiming to be a hundred thousand people, but in fact he was a mob.

These barbarian soldiers were not subordinate to each other and did not recognize the golden drums, flags and orders of the army. The barbarian chiefs were wary of each other and fled when they went to the battlefield with slight disadvantages. How could Li Chengshan take it seriously?

Not long after, the dust in the wilderness in the south of the city was shattered. Li Cheng used the thousand-mile mirror to look at it. He saw flags on the southern horizon like the sea, and the dark army approaching Ruyin. The scouts who took the risk of approaching to reconnaissance came again, bringing a lot of details about the enemy's army.

The invading enemy was huge, and the east and west were stretched horizontally for several miles, but in fact the formation was scattered, the troops were in a mess, and the speed of each other was obvious. The scouts could see clearly with a thousand-mile mirror that these were all a large group of barbarian soldiers who made up their numbers. In order to bluff, everyone had flags behind them.

It looks like the flags are very spectacular. In fact, these barbarian soldiers do not stand like standing or walk in a manner. They march in the vast field. The troops themselves will stop and walk from time to time. The barbarians in front and behind are crowded together, let alone the divisions blocking each other's way.

If the enemy deliberately messed up the formation and showed weakness, how could it be so realistic?

This situation is obviously because the barbarian soldiers are of poor quality and cannot even coordinate the marching speed of their own team. Not to mention the marching of each part, the marching is like this, and their performance after being lined up in large formations can only be worse.

The scout understood the enemy's situation. The other party was still several miles away from Ruyin, and the formation was still messy. Li Chengshan made a quick decision, walked down the city wall, came to an open space, picked up a bowl of wine, and whispered to the dead soldiers who were already ready:

"Heroes! After doing this bowl of wine with me, I will defeat the enemy with me!"

"General, please!"

The dead soldier who was about to follow Lee Chengshan out of the city to kill the enemy shouted loudly, drank the wine in the bowl, and then threw the bowl into the ground, making a sound.

When the city gate opened, Li Chengshan personally led 800 dead soldiers to ride out of the city and rushed towards the enemy army ahead, which was covered with dark clouds. Although the enemy army claimed to have a population of 100,000, in fact, there should be only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and military personnel.

Li Chengshan believed that only by defeating one of these people could cause defeat. The defeated soldiers who turned around and ran back would inevitably lead to a larger-scale defeat. A large number of barbarian soldiers ran backwards, and even the generals could not kill them.

Zhou Guoshang was black, and his military uniform was black. The team with black flags was naturally the main force of the opponent's combat. He rushed over and was just looking for death. What Li Chengshan wanted to rush was a team of barbarians holding various flags. The target he selected now was where the large white flag was located.

These barbarians are simply useless, and even Yuwen Wen cannot "turn stones into gold" in a short period of time. Li Chengshan feels that just by rushing, he can defeat the opponent.

The defeat was like a mountain of defeated. No matter how powerful Yuwen Wen was, he could not stabilize the formation in the face of the defeated soldiers, and could only watch the great defeat happen.

If the time is right, Li Chengshan would not mind taking the risk of attacking the enemy's main formation and beat Yuwen Wen to the point of running away with his head.

Even if he cannot break into the original formation, he can still mess up the group of mobs and flee everywhere.

Yuwen Wen wanted to gather the defeated troops, reorganize the formation and then surround Ruyin, which took several days. If the first battle was won, it would inevitably boost the morale of the military and civilians of Ruyin.

This is Li Chengshan's strategy of defending the city with attack instead of defense. He was confident in the dead soldiers who followed him out of the city to kill the enemy. He looked at the enemy team that was beginning to panic ahead and sneered in his heart:
Chapter completed!
