Shi Ji also hurriedly returned to the Dragon Bian. Jiuzhen County was no less important than the 100,000 mountains. If the 100,000 mountains were the northern gate of Jiaozhi County, then Jiuzhen County was the southern gate of Jiaozhi. Once the southern gate was lost, Jiaozhi County would have almost no danger to be under control. The Wei army could drive straight in and reach the Dragon Bian.

So Shi Ji didn't care about going to Jilong Mountain anymore, so he hurried back to Longbian to discuss the plan with Tao Ji.

As soon as the two of them decided to agree, they quickly reached a consensus that Jiuzhen County must not be lost. No matter what method is used, they must protect Jiuzhen County.

According to the information fed back from Jiuzhen County, most of the Wei army landed across the sea in Rinan County this time, and almost no decent warship was used. If the Wu army could have deployed some troops in Rinan County, the Wei army would have no chance to land in Rinan County.

Merchant ships cannot compare with warships in terms of performance. If they land on a beach with troops defending, they will definitely suffer severe damage and even be unable to move forward.

After all, merchant ships and warships are not the same type of fleet. Merchant ships focus on the nature of transportation, and warships are designed for combat. No matter how big the merchant ship is, it is larger than the warship, but at best it is just a transport ship and does not have the ability to land on the beach at all. If the Wu army's shore defense capabilities are strong enough, these merchant ships may be sieved.

But unfortunately, the Wu army was negligent in preventing Rinan County, and Rinan County, which had weak defense, was transferred away five hundred soldiers.

Of course, what is more important is that Tao Ji used non-human. Xu Chen, the prefect of Rinan, was not only a natural corrupt body. Even if there were only 500 soldiers in Rinan County, if these people could hold on in the city, it would be realistic to support them for at least a period of time.

Moreover, He Chen was also a traitor who was best at selling his owners and seeking honor. The reason why he willingly surrendered to Wei was that he saw that the vast territory of the Wu Kingdom had also fallen. The small court of the remnant Wu fled to Jiaozhi County and was about to settle down. Therefore, He Chen had the despicable idea of ​​choosing good birds and choosing trees while being a good minister and being a leader.

He Chen raised the city without a single arrow in Rinan County, allowing the Wei army to easily obtain Rinan County, which was equivalent to instantly opening the southern gate of Wu State. The merchant ships docked one after another, and more Wei troops rushed to the land in Rinan and completely occupied this place.

Once the Wei army gained a firm foothold in the south, the situation in the entire Jiaozhou would be completely destroyed. The Wei army had the ability to attack Jiaozhi from the north and the south, which made the remnant Wu court fall deeply into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides and behind the enemy at all times. If there is any negligence or mistake, Jiaozhi County will completely fall.

The current situation is really at a critical moment. Jiuzhen County is already in danger. After Tao Ji and Shi Ji discussed it, they immediately dispatched 10,000 troops from the 15,000 troops stationed in Jiaozhi to quickly reinforce Jiuzhen County.

Since Tao Ji had to take charge of the Longbian overall situation, they discussed that Shi Ji would lead the troops. At this time, there must be a person like a pillar to take charge. Just sending a side general to the scene will definitely not be able to suppress the situation.

Therefore, in the operation to rescue Jiuzhen County, Shi Ji took on the role of the chief general unswervingly. As for the candidates for the deputy general, Tao Ji's third son Tao Kang and Guiyang prefect Chen Jin came to serve as the candidates.

Since the team to rescue Jiuzhen County was still mainly Jiaozhou soldiers, Tao Ji could not come in person, but if Shi Ji led the army to fight, it would inevitably lead to the situation where the Jiaozhou army was dissatisfied with the arrangement. Therefore, Tao Ji specially sent his son Tao Kang to be Shi Ji's deputy to assist Shi Ji in managing the army. With the three sons of the Tao family in charge, the Jiaozhou soldiers basically did not dare to cause trouble.

The military situation in Jiuzhen County was very urgent, so Shi Ji did not delay too much. After the order of troops was completed, it was already dusk. Shi Ji ordered troops to be sent immediately, marched overnight, and rushed to Jiuzhen County.

Of course, Shi Ji is also an experienced general. Although this operation was emergency rescue, blindly marching quickly was not a good thing. If you were ambushed by the Wei army halfway, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Shi Ji was certainly guarding against the Wei army's move. Although the Wu army's march was relatively urgent along the way, he maintained a high level of vigilance while marching fiercely. Shi Ji sent Chen Jin as the vanguard and led 3,000 people to serve as the front team.

These three thousand people were basically based on the Jingzhou Army and had a slightly stronger combat power. Shi Ji placed the troops he trusted the most as the vanguard, just preparing to fight the tough battle.

The subsequent troops did not set a distance from the vanguard in front, so that after the front troops were attacked, the rear troops could immediately push up and reinforce, avoiding the problem that the front troops were surrounded and were almost annihilated by the enemy, and the subsequent troops could not push up.

The most effective way to deal with the enemy's ambush is to join forces. Unless the enemy has the ability to wipe them out, it will be no easy task to eat 10,000 troops of the Wu army in one bite.

Once the Wu army is in a scattered state, it will be easily defeated by the Wei army. Therefore, it is a taboo for military strategists. Shi Ji is well versed in the art of military strategy, so he naturally knows the advantages and disadvantages. He also thought of many ways to arrange troops and arrange troops as tight as possible, and avoid marching formations with long snakes.

The marching formation of a long snake has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that it is its orderly movement and its neat line, and the integrity of the formation can be ensured to the greatest extent during the process of marching.

The disadvantage is that the team is too long, with a unit of 10,000 people, even more than ten miles apart between front and rear teams. Once an enemy attack is encountered, such a long team will definitely be cut off by the Wei army in half, and the head and tail cannot be taken into consideration.

In fact, there are two types of one-character long snake formations. The first type is the combat formation. This one-character long snake formation is not too long, but the queue is not too long. If you hit the head, the tail will respond, the head will respond, and if you hit the waist, the head will respond.

This type of one-line long snake formation is very flexible and quick to react, and is the most effective formation on the battlefield.

Another type of long snake with a character is named after it just looks like a long snake. If it is affected by the terrain, the long snake formation can also be broken into pieces and transformed into other formations. However, this type of long snake formation is just a marching formation. Once it is surrounded by the enemy or cut into several sections by the enemy, the entire formation will immediately collapse.
