At dawn, Shouchun City was as quiet as usual, but as the city gate opened, the whole city became restless. A stream of people and vehicles mixed with infantry, cavalry and chariots rushed out of the south gate of Shouchun City like a flood in the flood dike.

The war horses were galloping, the chariots were speeding, and the people were running wildly. The torrent of the Huainan Army launched an unstoppable attack on the Sima Army's company positions.

Wang Feixiao knew the importance of a single game. Now the Huainan army has a full meal, which is the time when the physical and energy are the most vigorous. If we can use this momentum to break through the Sima army's defense line in one fell swoop, the breakthrough battle can be successful. However, if the breakthrough is blocked and morale falls back, the effect of the second attack will be greatly reduced. It is really hard to say whether it can finally break through successfully.

After careful reconnaissance in advance, Wang Feixiao had already grasped the general situation of the Sima army's defense line. Although Sima Jun claims to be a 200,000 army, at least about half of the troops were deployed on the Hefei front line to deal with reinforcements from the Eastern Wu.

The army that truly besieged Shouchun City was actually only 100,000, and these 100,000 people were evenly distributed to four directions, southeast, west and north, and each direction had only 25,000 people at most.

Although the Huainan Army has many defectors, most of the defectors actually come from the civilians recruited later. These civilian recruits lack combat experience and weak willpower, so they are simply useless. Then the only one who can be used in the breakout battle is Wang Ling's direct troops. They are the backbone of the Huainan Army and the biggest reliance on this breakthrough.

This army has more than 50,000 people, which is a real elite force. Although the number is only half of that of the Sima Army, if Wang Feixiao uses tactics properly, he can form superior forces in the local area and use this force to complete the breakthrough. Wang Feixiao is still full of confidence.

The Sima army's besieged camp was not stuck at the city, but was about two miles away from Shouchun City. That is to say, there was an open area of ​​about two miles on both sides. Tens of thousands of troops left the city, making extraordinary movements. Sima camp there were always sentries staring at it. Once it was discovered that the Huainan army had the intention to break through, it would immediately warn, and the defensive army would start to fight as soon as possible.

Wang Feixiao was not worried that Sima Jun would be alert. Such a large military operation would not be unprepared. Therefore, even if Wang Feixiao chose the time to break through in the early morning, it did not mean that he wanted to confuse his opponent.

What Wang Feixiao was most worried about was that Sima's army dug the trench around the city. In order to siege Shouchun City and prevent the Huainan Army from breaking through, Sima Yi ordered a wide and deep trench on all sides of Shouchun City, just like digging a trench, and built high trench on the periphery with the digging of soil, and built defensive fortifications.

This trench has undoubtedly become a difficult point for the Huainan Army to break through. Although in order to facilitate the escape of the people in the city, the Sima Army's trench was not completely dug, and some areas were accessible, but a large number of red-repelled antlers were placed in these areas and heavy troops were sent to garrison. Moreover, these areas were very narrow and at the widest point, they could only accommodate two or three horses in parallel.

Obviously, Wang Feixiao could not expect to seize these passes and allow the army to break through. What he had to do was to fill this trench and pave the way for the army to break through.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Sima Jun's intentional relaxation of vigilance, Wang Feixiao had already sent someone to understand the defense status of Sima Jun. In fact, the most difficult thing for Sima Jun's defense line to break through is such a trench. As long as the Huainan Army finds it difficult to step through this trench, the rest will be smooth all the way.

Of course, behind the trench, there is also the Sima Army's battalion, but compared to the difficulty of the trench, it is at least relatively easier for the Huainan army to step on the trench.

In order to cross this trench, Wang Feixiao made a lot of preparations in advance. He ordered the Huainan Army's vanguard to prepare a cloth bag each and fill it with soil. Even if the Sima Army dug the trench wide and deep, tens of thousands of sand bags were thrown in, Wang Feixiao really didn't believe it could not fill it.

In fact, the Huainan Army did not need to fill all the trenches. It was enough to fill a road dozens of feet wide on the Huainan Army's road. By doing so, these sandbags were more than enough.

After leaving the city, Wang Feixiao immediately ordered the army to move forward quickly and to launch a raid while the Sima army was unprepared, and first fill the trench.

The reason why Wang Feixiao chose to take action at this early morning is precisely because of this reason. At the fifth morning, people are about to wake up. It is impossible for such a large-scale operation to not be discovered by the Sima army. However, in this period, except for the sentries, most soldiers may be in their dreams. Even if they get the warning from the sentries, it will take at least a certain amount of time from waking up to the battle. This period is enough for the Huainan army to rush from the city gate to the trench.

As long as the trench is filled in first, the line of defense deliberately arranged by Sima Jun will become a decoration, and the chance of the Huainan Army breaking through will be greatly increased.

As soon as the Huainan army left the city, a harsh sound of gongs sounded from the Sima army. It was obvious that the Sima army's sentries had discovered that the Huainan army was coming to attack and deliberately rang the gongs to warn.

Wang Feixiao didn't care. Perhaps this situation was as expected by him. Sima's army's sentinels must be on standby at any time for twelve hours a day. If you want to bypass them and not be discovered, you will definitely not be able to do so unless the Huainan army is invisible.

What Wang Feixiao needed to do was to catch Sima Jun and get warnings to the time when he entered the battle, rush to the front of the trench as fast as possible, throw these tens of thousands of sandbags into the trench, and when Sima Jun reacted, the trench would almost be filled.

However, just as the Huainan Army approached the trench with only one arrow, suddenly thousands of arrows were fired at once, as if a storm suddenly came over the head. The Huainan Army caught off guard and many soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

The vanguard of the Huainan Army, in accordance with Wang Feixiao's requirements, each carried a sandbag. The sandbag was filled with sand and soil, and the weight was not light. Each one weighed at least fifty or sixty kilograms, and it was not too large.

With sandbags, you can no longer carry protective shields. Although sandbags can also serve as protective gear, the area is too small and they do not have much protection.

Moreover, the sandbags are heavy and heavy, which also affects the movement speed of the Huainan Army, so the casualties of the Huainan Army were really quite serious under the scattered arrows.
