In fact, just like Kong Sheng's initial prediction, Yin Ziqi didn't take Xiayi in his eyes at all, one or two thousand people and a small city with a small city would be vulnerable in the face of the attack of 100,000 troops.
Therefore, Yin Ziqi has no intention of attacking Xiayi.
In his plan, taking Suiyang is the main goal, as long as Suiyang is taken, Henan will completely become the world of rebels.
At that time, I am afraid that the birdmen of Kong Sheng in Xiayi will flee without a fight.
Of course, there is another important factor for him not to attack Xiayi, that is, Xiayi is too close to the edge of Jiangbei's sphere of influence, Yin Ziqi suspects that Kong Sheng is the outpost of Li Ju, the king of Yu, and it is easy to attack Xiayi, but it is not a good thing to anger Li Ju, the king of Yu, who has 100,000 troops.
Kong Sheng's dispatch of more than 1,000 people and horses, of course, did not hide Yin Ziqi's scout report.
It's just that Yin Ziqi thinks that the Jiangbei Army dispatched a small number of men and horses to fight Bozhou's idea, and he didn't expect or believe that these thousand people alone would dare to attack Suiyang Canal under the nose of the rebel camp, not to mention that his 100,000 troops were more than 100 miles away, just to say that the 5,000 men and horses guarding Suiyang Canal were not capable of being shaken by ordinary troops.
But Yin Ziqi overlooked an important point.
First, he attacked and besieged Suiyang, claiming to be 100,000 people, but in fact, there were not that many, that is, 350,000.
Moreover, there are many alien soldiers and horses among them, who are caught by the Yan army, and they have their own ghosts with the main force of the rebels, and they are not of the same mind, and the combat effectiveness they can exert is relatively limited.
Second, it is true that there are 5,000 people and horses he sent to guard the grain ship in Suiyang Canal, but most of them are Xi people, and it is doubtful that the Xi people will work hard for An Qingxu's real iron heart.
The Xi people in the Tang Dynasty were relatively strong, but they were still divided into five departments, namely the Ahui Division, the Division and the Division, the Ao Loss Division, the Duji Division, and the Yuan Qi Folding Division, which were distributed in the weak water state, Qili state, Luogui state, Tailu state, and thirsty field state.
Participating in the rebellion were the Xixi people, whose main activities were on the Hedong front.
And the east of the river is An Lushan's old nest, and the Xixi people were held hostage by the Yan army and had to get on this rebellious thief ship.
On the other hand, this was the key factor in Kong Sheng's decision to take the risk of a surprise attack on Suiyang Canal.
At dusk, the Xiayi military horses, which had rested for half a day, suddenly received a military order and immediately set off to continue south.
The direction of this march made Li Biao and Li Hu full of doubts, could it be that Kong Sheng gave up attacking Suiyang Canal and turned to attack Bozhou This is going around and around, getting farther and farther away from Suiyang Canal, it is simply the opposite of each other However, Kong Sheng's use of troops has always been elusive, and his true strategic intentions have never been easily communicated with his generals, nor are they allowed to raise the slightest question, although Li Biao and others have doubts, they still lead the order to advance.
But after traveling south for more than half an hour, in a place called Wuma Town, Kong Sheng suddenly ordered to turn back to the west, and quickly detoured the city and went straight to Suiyang Canal.
More than 1,000 soldiers and horses galloped for most of the night, and finally arrived at the southern periphery of the Suiyang Canal at the third watch.
This section is actually the end of the Suiyang Canal, which is not a big or small wharf.
More than 100 grain ships of the rebels were docked at the edge of the wharf, while 5,000 soldiers and horses guarding the grain ships camped around the shore, protecting the entire wharf.
Although it was the second half of the night, the camp was heavily guarded, the lights flickered, and the wolf-headed banner was waving in the wind in the night.
Kong Sheng let the military horses lurk on the hillside, and under the hillside was the camp of Xi soldiers.
The Xi people camped with their backs against the hillside, facing the water on one side, and the official road leading to the Suiyang rebel camp in front of them.
Li Biao and Li Hu stood behind Kong Sheng, their faces a little solemn.
The Xi people are notoriously brave and warlike nomads, all of whom are unstoppable.
Five thousand Xi soldiers guarded the town, which almost made Li Biao and Li Hu lose confidence.
"Are you afraid?"
Kong Sheng turned his head to look at Li Biao and Li Hu.
The two bowed together and said in a deep voice: "The Overseer commands, the last general will wait to kill to the death, and will never dare to take half a step back."
It's just that the last general thinks that Xi people are good at fighting, and with my thousand men fighting against the opponent's 5,000 men, and the other party is waiting for work and fighting with many battles, our chances of winning are really not big. ” "Xi people are good at fighting bravely and bravely, and this official has also heard of it.
However, they may not be of the same mind as An Lushan's rebels, and I don't think they will really work for the Yan army. ” "Secondly, we came by surprise and Xi was caught off guard.
Li Biao and Li Hu, you two led the army to rush with me to kill, Nan Yong, you led the archers around the east side of the camp, clamoured and set fire, and burned the camp and the grain ship with rockets. ” "Let's get ready to go, after half an hour, launch an attack" Kong Sheng waved his hand coldly.
Li Biao and Li Hu silently accepted the order, while Nan Yong arched his hand and quietly retreated.
Half an hour later.
The sky in the east was faintly bright, and at this time, it was the moment when the defenders were sleeping the deepest, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in Kong Sheng's hand was waving in mid-air, and he shouted: "Rush" Li Biao and Li Hu led 800 fierce Modao troops to shout and roar like thunder, rushed down the hillside, and rushed towards the rebel camp.
Kong Sheng took the lead and rushed to the front, while the white-clothed Mu Changfeng and the red-clothed Nie Chuchen were tightly protected by him, and the clothes of the two were particularly dazzling in the night.
At the same time, the 500 archers of Nan Yong, who were circling to the east, rained arrows, and rockets flew down on the camp of the Xi people, and many of them landed on the grain carriers.
The fire was soaring to the sky, and the camp of the Xi people became a pot of porridge, and people shouted that the horses were neighing and the flames were everywhere.
Xi people were caught off guard, and were in their sleep ushered in the attack of a group of soldiers and horses who could not figure out the number and the way to come, and when the Xi generals led by him gathered the soldiers and horses in a panic to prepare for the battle, he suddenly found that in the formation of a row of Mo knife cavalry who rushed over, there was a hunting Jiangbei Army banner, and his heart suddenly panicked.
The name of King Li Ju is still quite loud.
His Jiangbei Army, in the Hedong and Jiangbei areas of Henan, was an important military force capable of shaking the situation.
And the Modao cavalry of the Jiangbei Army is even more famous for its fierceness.
Xi Ren is good at fighting, and he has no advantage at all in fighting the Modao Army head-on in a panic.
Li Biao and Li Hu led the fierce cavalry into the camp like a torrent of steel, and wherever they went, the Xi people were either killed or fled everywhere.

The Xi general adopted Ze, dressed in black armor, angry and angry, brandishing a spear on his horse, shouting: "Don't mess around, those who flee die" Yang Ze rushed left and right, and gradually gathered a group of Xi soldiers around him.
With a grim smile on his face, he led people to meet the charging of the Modao cavalry formation.
Yang Ze saw that the leader of this official cavalry was a young man in white clothes and bright armor, and the halberd of Fang Tian Painting in his hand was waving like the wind, as if entering a no-man's land, rushing all the way over, I don't know how many Xi soldiers died tragically under his halberd.
And more importantly, he also has two Jianghu people by his side, a man and a woman, to protect him, which makes Yang Ze suddenly realize that this seems to be a big man in the official army.
Yang Ze roared angrily, put aside the Xi soldiers behind him, and rushed over alone, the spear in his hand was powerful, and he gave Kong Sheng a blow head-on.
Kong Sheng had actually noticed the existence of this person a long time ago.
Originally, Xi Bing was in a mess, like headless flies running around.
But after this person appeared, he gradually turned the tide with strength, and the spear in this person's hand was very brave, and two or three Mo Dao soldiers were injured under his spear. oshow7 t1706231537:
