Three Kingdoms: Starting from the best little county magistrate

This group of people drank vigorously in advance, and was about to march north, preparing to fight with Li Cunxiao, planning to start the first war with Xiao Yi, and first extinguishing his prestige and showing momentum.

Zhang Lu on the other side naturally gave Liu Yan enough face and sent the elite troops of Hanzhong to follow Cai Mao together, which can be regarded as forming an alliance.

In addition to Liu Yan and Zhang Lu, Cai Mao also attracted Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, and Shixie, the assassin of Jiaozhou, to carry out this rebellion plan together. These two people have a heart to form an alliance with Cai Mao. Yangzhou and Jiaozhou are the two places farthest from the north, that is, far from the headquarters of Xinhan.

Even if they were attached to the Xinhan, it is estimated that the reinforcements of the Xinhan would not be able to arrive when the city was in danger, and they would not be able to protect them. It's better to belong to the puppet Han, and Cai Mao also promised that the two of them could be kings, under one and above ten thousand. Therefore, the two of them soon joined the camp of the puppeteers.

The combined strength of the five cities of Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Hanzhong and Jingzhou is exciting to think about, and Cai Mao has received such a large amount of military support, so he is naturally happy.

Cai Mao, who was overjoyed, began to think in his heart, now that Li Cunxiao is only 30,000 horses, his people are more than ten times more than him, he doesn't believe this, he can't build a strong walled city, unless there is an immortal blessing, otherwise he will be killed and turned on his back, and there will be no armor.

Thinking of this, Cai Mao couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and smile, he Cai Mao would definitely be able to beat that Xiao Yi, let him know that the hairy boy was still too young.

Cai Mao and the assembled army of nearly 350,000 marched towards the fortified city where Li Cunxiao was stationed.

Unexpectedly, in the valley that was about to enter the fortified walled city, a rain of arrows suddenly dispersed, causing the forward soldiers who were walking in front of them to fall one after another. The men and horses behind began to panic, shouting "There is an ambush!

And the soldiers in the back did not know what was happening in front of them, and they still marched forward with high morale, resulting in the soldiers who wanted to retreat in front could not retreat, so they could only move forward.

So, two lines of cavalry rushed out of the valley, moving cleanly, with swords in hand, and harvesting the soldiers in front of them, as easily as harvesting crops.

Cai Mao, who was in the middle and front position, noticed something strange and hurriedly sent someone to find out what was going on ahead.

"Tell your lordship, there is an ambush ahead, and our army has suffered a lot of losses. The soldier who had gone to check on the situation came back and reported.

"Send five infantry to sneak up from behind, and with the forward troops, surround those who are in ambush, and then deal with them. Cai Mao said calmly, he had seen so many big scenes, he was not afraid at all, not to mention that he was now a large number of people, so there was no need to panic a little bit.

"Yes. The soldier hurried to deliver the order.

Cai Mao's head was racing and what to do next. Liu Miao and Shi Xie, who were in the back, chased after them on horseback, as if they wanted to discuss countermeasures.

"Lord Cai, there should be Li Cunxiao's ambush ahead, let's be careful. Liu Miao spoke first.

"I'm afraid of what he will do? It's just a Li Cunxiao, what can we do? It's not enough to worry about it. Lord Liu has been stable for too long, forgetting the blood and pride of a general. Cai Mao didn't care at all.

"How can this be forgotten? Liu knew that Li Cunxiao was reckless, and setting up an ambush was not quite like his style. I am afraid that he is not the only one guarding this fortified city. Liu Miao noticed the disdain and banter in Cai Mao's words, and immediately wanted to get angry, but he had promised to be a member of his puppeteer, and he couldn't get angry.

"That's right, Lord Cai, this Li Cunxiao dares to lead an army of 30,000 to guard this fortified city alone, there must be fraud in this. It's better to be careful. Shi Xie, who had not spoken, spoke.

"So what? Now that our army is heading south, it will be like a bamboo, and what about a small fortified city. Cai Mao was still in an arrogant tone, looking non-negotiable.

The five infantry sent by Cai Mao to deal with the ambush did not gain advantage in the battle, but were wiped out by the infantry in another place with a rain of arrows.

It has been a long time since I heard from the infantry sent, and the battle in front is already in full swing, and it is impossible to fight, and the situation is obviously Li Cunxiao's side has the upper hand. Although there are only 30,000 people, they are all carefully selected. Just kidding, is the prestige of the back army blown out?

Cai Mao is starting to feel less confident.

"Lord Cai, what do you see now?" Liu Miao held back the smile in his heart, watching Cai Mao's face change, and secretly felt comfortable in his heart, didn't he just drag him to be the most powerful in the world, why can't he control the world again?

"Send the Yellow Flag Army to take the lead and inform Huang Gai. Cai Mao almost gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Yes. The soldier ran as fast as he could.

When Huang Gai led the Yellow Banner Army to rush to the front of the battle, Cai Mao had already killed 20,000 horses on his side. The soldiers fell crookedly to the ground, the blood soaked through the armor, the dust stained, and the picture was sad in the sun.

But the battlefield is not sad. This is war. War is so cruel, there will always be sacrifices, and it is inevitable that rivers of blood will be shed. Every peaceful and prosperous era is opened with countless blood.

As soon as Huang Gai came, the soldiers in ambush began to evacuate and returned to the fortified city. The speed of escaping is also first-class, Huang Gai and the team were stunned but didn't catch up, chased to the city gate, and went back to look for Cai Mao.

After all, Li Cunxiao first led people to stay here for a while, and he already knew the terrain and landforms, and the Qianmo paths were already very well understood, so it was naturally fast to escape. What's more, Lord Xu's order is to harass and consume the enemy's troops, not to force the enemy's army, it is obvious that they have few people, and if they go to fight head-on, isn't this looking for death. I want to borrow another 500 years from the sky!

Fighting a war is fought with the brain, not purely by being outnumbered. There are many examples of winning more with less in history, although this is difficult, but it can be done, which requires a powerful brain, such as Xu Shu.

And Huang Gai, who was lonely, went back to report to Cai Mao with a depressed face. Why did you run away, bastard!

When Xu Shu in the fortified city heard the news of the return of the team sent to ambush, he was sitting on a rattan chair drinking tea. This fine tea is really refreshing, and it has the feeling of fluttering and turning into a fairy. Thinking about it, this place is not poor, the tea can be so fresh and fragrant, and it can also be compared to the best tea in Luoyang.

"I see, step aside. By the way, I informed General Li to come here to discuss the future. Comfortably withdrawing his subordinates, Xu Shu continued to slowly taste the taste of the tea cup in his hand.
