the next day.
The glow of morning light fills the vast valley outside Wuzhou City.
Today is extremely important for the Dayin Army.
Whether it was Fan Nan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War who was at the front line, or the Ministry of War who was far away in the court, or Emperor Dayin in the palace, they were all concerned about this.
Needless to say, the benefits of winning are great, and everyone is happy.
If we lose, Shuozhou will fall and Hedong will suffer.
If the Tartar army marches straight in from Hedong Road, it will even threaten the capital.
Although the importance is self-evident, Fan Nan and a group of officers were relatively relaxed about it last night.
Everyone was underestimating their opponent and they never thought they would lose today.
In the Dayin military camp, smoke rose everywhere. Soldiers made fires and cooked food so that they could eat their fill early.
After a while, in the camp, the Dayin soldiers who had hurriedly eaten lined up at the shouting of the officers to welcome the coming of the battle!
Fan Nan, along with guards including Fan Tong and a group of staff, arrived at the central military tent early.
The Zhechou Duwei and Guoyi Duwei of the twelve Zhechoufu arrived one after another in full armor.
After the roll call, they lined up on both sides and stood straight.
The bright armor on his body made the central military tent particularly bright.
The scout camp's cavalry dispersed early in the morning, keeping a close eye on the movements of the Tatar camp.
On the top of Wu Zhou City, Sun Jizong also received a message sent by flying arrows from the scouts of the main camp, telling them that they must defend the city at all costs and never retreat.
So, Sun Jizong summoned the people in the city overnight, dismantled houses and unloaded bricks, set up pots and boiled water, and moved all the supplies that could be used to defend the city to the top of the city.
He was very determined this time and could not bring shame to his backer Pei Lun again!
After a while, the sun gradually rose over the mountain and illuminated every corner inside and outside Wuzhou City.
Dayin is fully prepared, and only the Tartars can attack.
But what was strange was that the Tartar camp was dead silent, and not a single soldier was dispatched.
If it were yesterday, all the Tartar cavalry would have been dispatched and lined up to prepare for the attack!
"What's going on with the Tartars today? Why haven't they made any move yet?"
"Yeah! Could it be that they were scared by our defeat yesterday and decided not to fight?"
"Haha, a bunch of bitter cold barbarians, if you're scared, that's all. How would they know what a free-from-war card is?"
“…”
Seeing that the Tartars did not send out troops, contrary to their usual practice, the captains in the central army tent began to mock them.
Fan Nan frowned, trying hard to guess the Tartar's intentions, but he didn't know why.
"Master Commander, something is wrong. I will lead the cavalry to their camp to investigate!"
Seeing the teacher's serious face, Yang Jian immediately volunteered.
"good!"
Fan Nan nodded and said, "Tell the scouts from the scouting camp to go out again and find a way to climb to the top of the nearby hills so that they can observe the situation of the Tartar camp from a high vantage point."
He suddenly had a bad feeling, but he couldn't remember what went wrong.
After Yang Jian turned around and left the camp, the atmosphere in the tent became a little depressing.
Fannan anxiously awaited a response.
While waiting, time seemed to stretch incomparably longer.
"Commander-in-Chief, I'm back!" After a while, Yang Jian hurried back to the camp.
"How is it going? Have you found anything at the Tartar camp?" Fan Nan asked anxiously.
"As soon as we approached, arrows were fired from the Tartar camp. We didn't dare to get any closer and found nothing for the time being." Yang Jian looked dejected.
Unable to obtain intelligence from the Tartar camp, Fan Nan became even more anxious.
"They only care about defense and don't take the initiative to attack. Isn't this exactly what we want?"
"Yes, we just need to wait here. Once our two ambushes appear, any tricks they have up their sleeves will be useless."
Everyone was talking about it.
At this moment, the whispers of two captains in the corner reached Fan Nan's ears:
"Lao Lu, what if, I'm just saying what if, our ambush in the two mountains is discovered by the Tartars and intercepted in advance, what should we do?"
"Old Dong, you're such a badass! Our ambush troops have been hiding for so many days without being discovered, how come they were discovered today? This is absolutely impossible!"
"But why is the Tartar acting so abnormally today? It's really puzzling!"
"Who knows! Anyway, we will just follow Master Fan's arrangements."
“…”
What?
Suddenly, Fan Nan raised his eyes, his whole body shook, and his hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly.
The ambush was when he used these 23,000 people and the defensive chain formed by Wuzhou City to entangle most of the Tartar troops, and then attacked from behind to inflict heavy damage on the Tartars!
He concluded that the Tatars would never have imagined that the Dayin border army, which had been on the passive defensive all along, would set up an ambush.
From Jingbian Army to Wuzhou City, Dayin's army only showed a state of being forced to defend but retreating step by step.
These 20,000 Dayin troops had already given the Tatars the impression that they were hastily gathering from all over Hedong Road and rushing to fight.
It can be said that no matter whether it was a fake or real play, Fan Nan has done his best!
However, if the ambush is discovered by the Tartars and they send troops to intercept them in advance, then Fan Nan’s painstakingly planned encirclement plan will not only be greatly reduced, but may even lead to serious consequences that are difficult to control, such as losing!
Fan Nan felt a chill down his spine and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Where is the scout camp? Have any scouts returned?" Fan Nan suddenly shouted.
Everyone in the tent was startled. An aide said hurriedly, "Sir, we haven't seen the scouts return yet!"
