The atmosphere of the confrontation was always extremely tense, and no one dared to relax. Yan Zhengqing had a serious expression and kept an eye on the defense situation at all times.
Yuan Zhong and Yuan Yong anticipated that Nanyang County would send reinforcements. Yan Zhengqing naturally also anticipated this situation and was also waiting for reinforcements from Nanyang County.
As time passed, the two sides attacked each other across the river, but both suffered casualties; especially the Yuan family, who suffered quite a lot of casualties, after all, there were artillery in Anyang.
While waiting, a soldier suddenly came over holding an arrow with a letter stuck on it. This was a message from a flying vehicle in the sky. A flying vehicle flying at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters was the best means of reconnaissance.
The content of the letter was simple: reinforcements from Nanyang County were found in the southwest, estimated to be 100,000 strong, stretching for ten miles, and moving at a speed of about 12 to 15 kilometers per hour. The reinforcements from Nanyang County are now between Longshan Town and Sanshan Town.
Yan Zhengqing scanned the map, "Longshan Town and Sanshan Town are located in the transition zone from hills to the seaside plains. This is a good place for an ambush. Military warfare emphasizes 'attacking the enemy by surprise'. Shen Jianfei, you lead 5,000 elite Foundation Establishment soldiers to cross the Xiandai River immediately and ambush the reinforcements from Nanyang County in Sanshan Town. Note that harassment is the main strategy and killing is secondary, just to delay the enemy's steps as much as possible. In addition, you don't need to return next, just hide behind the enemy and wait for a good opportunity to attack. It's up to you to decide how to attack."
"Yes!" Shen Jianfei took the order and left. The three-hundred-mile-long river bank was full of loopholes. Although Dongyuan County and Yuan Jinjiang thought that Anyang would send troops to stop them, they could not accurately grasp the specific situation, and their wisdom was not as good as Yan Zhengqing's; therefore, Shen Jianfei quietly crossed the river with 5,000 elite troops and moved forward at a very fast speed.
After only two hours' march, they spotted reinforcements from Nanyang County advancing in the low hills outside Sanshan Town.
Shen Jianfei laughed strangely, licked his slightly dry lips, and a hideous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Five thousand people, break up into small groups and fight on their own. Shoot when you have a chance, and change places after each shot; if there is no chance, just hang on. Remember, killing the enemy is secondary, and disturbing the enemy is the first. Sometimes, it is okay to fire blanks; deliberately missing the target and injuring but not killing will have a better effect, and will create fear and chaos. In addition, the wounded need to be taken care of, which will slow down the team's progress."
As one of the earliest musketeers in Anyang, Shen Jianfei has his own views on combat: wounding but not killing, the wounded are a source of "continuous fear".
Five thousand elite soldiers formed small guerrilla groups of three or five and disappeared into the hills. The large army was easy to be discovered, but the scattered foundation-building masters were difficult to be discovered.
Nangong Zhi, the commander of Nanyang County, led a hundred thousand troops to advance rapidly. As he advanced, there was a worry between his brows: "We must protect Dongyuan County. Once Dongyuan County is lost, the Li family will be the only one in power. I just don't know what the situation is like in the north?"
Because of the news blockade, Nangong Zhi still doesn't know that Li Yulong has ascended the throne and become emperor.
While leading the team forward, Nangong Zhi suddenly felt a flash of murderous intent.
"Oh no, Anyang actually set an ambush!" Nangong Zhi thought of the problem at the first moment, but it was too late.
