After receiving the news of the Huns' attack, the Wei army had made all preparations and was ready.

Cao Liang looked at Huan Fan beside him. It seemed that nothing could escape Huan Fan's plan. As expected, the Huns could not bear their temper and came to kill him.

As expected, Huan Fan lived up to his reputation as a think tank and accurately guessed the psychology of the Huns. Previously, the Huns were hiding and did not dare to come out because of the existence of the Yueqi camp. The battle at Pingyang really hurt the Huns.

They were afraid of being beaten, so the Huns gritted their teeth and wanted revenge, but they were afraid of the strength of the Yueqi camp and did not even dare to show their heads.

Huan Fan adopted a strategy of dividing his troops to show that the enemy was weak, and the Huns took the bait immediately. It seemed that the Huns did not want revenge, but were afraid of the Yueqi camp. Once the Yueqi camp left, they could not wait to kill them.

Huan Fan was indeed a mastermind.

"Sir, your plan is indeed exhaustive, and the Huns were really lured out." Cao Liang said with great admiration.

Huan Fan, however, had a calm expression on his face and said calmly: "It is easy to lure out the Huns, but it is not easy to annihilate them all. Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, the general should find a way to hold on to the position, otherwise no matter how clever the strategy is,

It doesn’t help matters either.”

Huan Fan's strategy of luring the snake out of its hole was based on showing the enemy weakness, so that the enemy could let down their guard and attack boldly.

But showing the enemy weakness is not really weak, it is just an illusion left to the enemy, making them mistakenly think that the opponent is weak. As long as they send troops here, they can easily take it.

Therefore, Huan Fan had extremely high requirements for the three infantry battalions, requiring them to withstand the Huns' attack for at least one day and hold on until the Yueqi and Tunqi battalions arrived.

If it cannot be defended, then Huan Fan's strategy will not only be in vain, but it will also be a huge gift to the Huns.

For Cao Liang, there was no way out in this battle, because the Huns were already on the way to attack. If the Wei army wanted to escape, they would not be able to outrun the Huns cavalry. Therefore, the Wei army had to fight the Huns head-on.

Start a life and death fight.

Cao Liang's eyes were firm and he said: "What you said is absolutely true. This battle must be fought to the death, and there will be no room for failure."

Huan Fan said: "It's time to light up the smoke and warn the Yueqi camp and Tunqi camp."

Cao Liang was slightly startled and said: "The Huns are still thirty miles away. Isn't it a little early to light up the smoke at this time?"

According to Cao Liang's plan, he waited until the Huns launched an attack and then lit up the smoke to recall the Yueqi and Tunqi camps. If he lit it too early, what if the Huns changed their mind about attacking and retreated?

Is it equivalent to wasting all the efforts?

Huan Fan smiled slightly and said: "For the Huns, they are already ready to be fired. Liu Yue will definitely deceive us as infantry, and the cavalry is hundreds of miles away. He will definitely be bolder.

Those who come to attack are trying to end the battle within a few hours, so there is not much difference between going early or late. But for the Second Battalion of Yueqi Tunqi, the sooner they know, the better, and they can return to the division as soon as possible so that they can return to the division as soon as possible.

Reduce pressure on infantry."

Cao Liang thought about it and realized that it was right. Since Liu Yue had already fought his way here, he would definitely not give up halfway. Liu Yue would definitely launch a fierce attack before the Yueqi battalion returned to the main line and end the battle in a short time.

For the Third Infantry Battalion, this will definitely be a fierce battle.

Cao Liang immediately ordered his soldiers to light the smoke.

All the materials were ready and ready. Cao Liang gave the order, and the soldiers immediately lit up the smoke. Thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.

Wolf smoke has a distinctive feature compared to ordinary smoke, that is, the smoke column is black, straight and difficult to spread. Under windless or light wind conditions, the smoke column can rise to high altitudes, even hundreds of miles away, as long as the weather

If the weather is clear, you can still see more clearly.

Of course, beacon smoke is greatly affected by weather factors, such as wind and rain, so beacon smoke is almost ineffective.

Therefore, Cao Liang was prepared with both hands when arranging contact information. If the weather conditions were not ideal, Cao Liang would arrange fast horses to pass the news to Yueqi Camp and Tunqi Camp.

However, the most ideal way to transmit messages is through smoke. This method of transmitting information is basically instantaneous. Once the smoke is lit here, it can be seen over there. No matter how fast a horse runs, it still takes time, right?

Now that the weather is fine and windless, the conditions for releasing the smoke can't be more suitable. Once the smoke rises, Cao Liang believes that the Yueqi camp and the Tunqi camp will definitely see it, and they will return to the rescue as soon as possible.

.

However, the first people to see the smoke were not Deng Ai and Shi Bao, but Liu Yue, who was only thirty miles away from Xiliu Forest.

The Huns moved very quickly. Liu Yue gave the order and it took only a short time to assemble and form a siege on Xiliu Forest.

There is no doubt that the beacon was the Wei people summoning their cavalry troops. Presumably the Wei people already knew the news of the Xiongnu army's attack, so they hurriedly lit the beacon smoke in the hope of calling back the cavalry.

"It's too late!" Liu Yue had a proud smile on his face. He only thought of recalling the cavalry now. It was too late. Facing the Wei army's infantry, Liu Yue had no doubt that his certainty of victory could reach more than 90%. This would be

A crushing victory, and it will be a quick victory. The Wei cavalry is coming back in a hurry, ready to collect the corpses!

Liu Yue divided the Huns cavalry into two parts. One part was led by Brodong and attacked from south to north. The other part was led by Meng and attacked from north to south. The two groups of men and horses attacked from the north and south at the same time. They must completely annihilate the Wei army infantry in Xiliu.

Lin, no one is allowed to escape.

Liu Yue also offered huge rewards, including thousands of slaves and tens of thousands of livestock for anyone who captured Cao Liang's head.

This made the Xiongnu soldiers excited and kept shouting. Whoever can capture Cao Liang will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life. This undoubtedly gave the Xiongnu soldiers motivation, and they all rushed to think about it.

He must rush forward and take this huge bounty into his arms.

If Cao Liang found out, he would definitely laugh. Zhuge Ke of Soochow, because he had a grudge against Cao Liang for killing his father, offered a huge reward for Cao Liang's head.

However, Zhuge Ke was disappointed in the end. Instead of getting Cao Liang's head, he suffered defeat after defeat.

Now the Huns have once again offered a reward to encourage the bloodiness of the Huns soldiers. However, in Cao Liang's view, he might have to sneer twice. This Liu Yue really thought that he could kill someone with money and wanted his head.
