After Xiao Muqing finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong.

Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong were both shocked. It was not easy to attack the barbarian army's camp secretly. If not done well, there would be no return.

Qiu Zhen also felt that there was something wrong with sending two corps commanders there at once. He said, "Will General Xiao think about it again?"

Xiao Muqing shook his head and said seriously: "We have no way of knowing the situation there, sir. Now we can only rely on our own strength to repel the enemy. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. If we continue to stand in a stalemate for a long time, it will consume a lot of money. There is no guarantee that Hengcheng will not be lost, so

We must fight quickly. If we want to retreat the enemy quickly, the only way is to cut off their food and fodder. This sneak attack is crucial and must be successful in one blow. Among our five corps, the first, second and third

The three corps are the strongest. Among the three corps commanders, General Zhang and General Bai are the most calm and calm in situations. Therefore, we can only leave this matter to the two generals. I hope that the two generals will ignore personal gains and losses in times of crisis.

, relieve the siege of Hengcheng!"

While speaking, Xiao Muqing raised her hands and bowed deeply to Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong both stepped forward, hurriedly supported Xiao Muqing, and said repeatedly: "The general's words are serious, and my subordinates are not worthy of it!"

Xiao Muqing talked to such an extent that Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong had no room to refuse even if they wanted to, so they had no choice but to accept the order.

That night, there was no movement from the Hengcheng garrison. At five o'clock in the morning the next day, the South City Gate was quietly opened, and dozens of strong black shadows sprang out along the gaps in the city gate.

It was close to dawn at this time, the sky was the darkest, and it was also the time when people were the most tired and their defenses were the most relaxed. The timing of the sneak attack was perfect.

The Feng Army's large force had not left the city yet, and the hidden arrow personnel headed by Cheng Jin took the lead to deal with the sentry posts in the enemy camp.

Dark spiritual cultivators do not have the spiritual martial arts skills to cause large-scale damage and are not suitable for melee fighting in the chaos. However, they are natural hunters and are good at sneaking and unexpected assassinations.

Cheng Jin and others took advantage of the cover of night to lurk outside the gate of the barbarian army's south camp without making a sound.

The south gate of Hengcheng was not the main attack direction of the barbarian army, and its main force was not in the south camp. There were not many guards outside the camp. Cheng Jin and others did not spend much effort to eliminate the barbarian army sentry posts one by one, even the two sides of the camp gate.

The barbarian soldiers on the side observation tower were not spared. The members of the Dark Arrow flashed to the observation tower with shadow drift, stabbed the sentry to death quickly, and then tied his body to the pillar. Looking from a distance, they could not notice that the sentry was already there.

Death, as if he were still standing guard up there.

After everything was resolved, the Dark Arrow members quickly withdrew and spread the news to the city.

As soon as the Dark Arrow members returned, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong led 10,000 plain troops out of the city gate. None of them were riding horses. They were all wearing black clothes and black armor to avoid making any noise. They all had black cloth scarves tied around their mouths.

These tens of thousands of soldiers did not carry extra scraps with them, but only kerosene. After leaving the city, they threw their legs and rushed straight towards the southern camp of the barbarian army.

No one spoke, and no one shouted to kill. There were only the clatter of armor and people's gasps along the way.

Since the outposts outside the barbarian army's south camp had been eliminated by hidden arrows first, Zhang and Bai made good progress and soon rushed to the gate of the camp.

The skilled Feng Jun first climbed over the fence of the camp and opened the camp door from the inside. Then, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong each waved their spears and ordered their soldiers to rush in.

These 10,000 plain troops seemed to have fallen from the sky. The barbarian army was unaware and unprepared. They were caught off guard. Many soldiers were still sleeping in the barracks when they were hacked by the approaching plain troops.

Kill, die in a daze in your sleep.

Xiao Muqing and Ai Jia's observations were correct. The southern camp of the Besa Army was indeed the place where their grain and grass were stored. They charged towards the hinterland of the southern camp and soon saw rows of warehouses. They opened the tent door and took a look inside.

There were neatly stacked grains. Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong were overjoyed when they saw this, and both gave orders to pour in kerosene and burn the grains.

When the food and grass are dry, they will catch fire immediately, not to mention the addition of kerosene. When the fire starts, it is impossible to control it even if you want to. The wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. The flames fly randomly and spread with the wind, in rows.

The warehouse suddenly fell into a sea of ​​flames, and from time to time looking at it, the fire was so fierce that it seemed as if half of the sky was burning.

A fire broke out in the southern camp, and the entire barbarian camp turned into a mess, with people shouting and horses neighing, and the screams continued.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and even the Pingyuan soldiers who set the fire were forced to retreat.

Seeing the fire raging and the barbarian troops running out of the barracks crying and screaming, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong looked at each other and laughed in unison. I never expected that things could progress so smoothly. It seems that Xiao Muqing is indeed

He is so outstanding that your master made the right decision to appoint him as the general of Hengcheng.

Zhang Zhou laughed and said: "The barbarian army is just within earshot. They are so vulnerable. I really want to charge into their hinterland again!"

Bai Yong quickly stopped him and said, "Our mission has been accomplished. We must go back and hand over the order immediately. Let's withdraw as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Zhang Zhou nodded. He was just talking. They only brought 10,000 people, and a sneak attack against the barbarian army would be fine. But if they really gathered their troops, they wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.

Just when Zhang Zhou and Bai Yongzhi were proud and wanted to lead their troops to retreat, they suddenly found that they could no longer retreat.

Countless barbarian troops emerged from nowhere and had blocked the camp gate of the south camp. What was even more terrible was that the rumble of horse hoofs could be heard behind everyone. When they turned around to look, Zhang and Bai's expressions suddenly changed.

A group of cavalry rushed quickly from behind, and it was so dark that it was hard to tell how many of them they were. They were all Besa's heavy armored cavalry.

"What's wrong! We've fallen into the trap too!" Zhang Zhou exclaimed subconsciously.

It stands to reason that the barbarian army must be exhausted after a whole day of siege. They also made a surprise and unprepared sneak attack. No matter how fast the barbarian army reacted, they would not be able to assemble so many infantry and cavalry so quickly and close the gate of the camp.

Block it and attack from the front and back. This is obviously the opponent's plan. It seems that they have already calculated that the Feng army will come to sneak attack tonight.

Zhang Zhou really guessed wrong on this point. The general of the Besa Army is not a god. How could he know that Hengcheng could observe where his own grain and grass were stored and when he would send troops to sneak attack? Moreover, if he was really planning

If so, how could the food and grass be burned so easily by the Feng army?

The commander-in-chief of the Besa Army is also a general who is good at commanding troops. He knows the importance of food and grass, so he has arranged heavy troops to guard him. Not only tonight, but the heavy troops are always there. However, the timing of the attack of the Pingyuan Army was too good.

The barbarian army was caught off guard when they were tired and neglected to take precautions. When the barbarian soldiers were assembled, the Pingyuan army had already begun to set fire to their food, and they had no time to stop them.

At this time, there were barbarian soldiers blocking the front and heavy armored cavalry chasing after them. Tens of thousands of Pingyuan troops were trapped in the barbarian camp, and the strength of the opponent's troops was still increasing. Seeing this scene, the Pingyuan army was delighted.

The emotions were swept away, replaced by deep fear and despair.

Bai Yong was really calm and calm. He was just stunned for a moment, and then he shouted loudly to the people on the left and right: "Charge! All brothers rush to the camp gate together!"

Wow - following his order, the Pingyuan army surged toward the camp gate like a tide.

There are now more than 3,000 barbarian soldiers gathered here at Yuanmen. There are not many soldiers, but the combat effectiveness of the barbarian soldiers is too strong. In a head-on confrontation, the Pingyuan Army will not have any advantage.

Soon the two sides came into contact, soldiers against soldiers, generals against each other, and a life-and-death melee began.

They were fighting each other, and the speed of the heavy armored cavalry behind them continued unabated, getting closer and closer to the Pingyuan army. If they waited for this group of heavy armored cavalry to rush forward again, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong, ten thousand people, would have to account for the loss of the barbarian army.

In the camp.

At this time, Zhang Zhou fired several shots, stabbing down several barbarians around him, and then quickly ran to Bai Yong's side, panting and saying: "There are more and more enemies, and the cavalry behind is about to arrive. If we delay any longer,

, I’m afraid neither you nor my brothers can leave! You lead the men to rush to the camp gate, and I will go back to stop the barbarian cavalry and cover your evacuation!"

"What about you?" Bai Yong's heart trembled and his brows tightened. If Zhang Zhou turned around to block the heavy armored cavalry at this time, he would be risking his own death.

Zhang Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "You don't have to worry about me, let's go first!"

"No!" Bai Yong and Zhang Zhou are both old men in the Pingyuan Army. They have worked together for many years and have a very deep relationship with each other. At this critical moment of life and death, how could he leave Zhang Zhou and escape alone. He said: "You retreat first

, I will stop the cavalry!"

"Don't be wordy!" Zhang Zhou became anxious. He grabbed Bai Yong's shoulders, brought him close to him, and said urgently: "Now is not the time to argue! If you can see the lord, tell the lord

Say that I, Zhang Zhou, have not dishonored the reputation of the Feng Army!" After saying this, he pushed Bai Yong away hard with his arms, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers from the First Corps, listen to the order and follow me to stop the barbarian cavalry.

!”

Ignoring Bai Yong, Zhang Zhou ordered his men to rush back to the rear.

When discussing matters, Zhang Zhou is the most cautious and timid one, but at this critical juncture, when faced with the choice between life and death, he chose the latter and chose to stay behind to cover the evacuation of his brothers.

reflected in the body.

Looking at the back of Zhang Zhou who led the crowd to charge back, Bai Yong bit his lips tightly, bloodshot eyes oozing out from the corners of his mouth.

He stamped his feet fiercely, roared, and charged at the barbarian soldiers at the camp gate with his round gun.

It's not that he is timid and afraid of death, but that he can no longer fight. Zhang Zhou risked his life to create an opportunity for him and his brothers to escape. If he doesn't fight for it, not only will Zhang Zhou's hard work be wasted, but his efforts will also be in vain.

and the lives of his soldiers.

Even if he couldn't bear it, even if his heart was on edge, he could only grit his teeth and make up his mind to retreat.

Bai Yong led his troops to break through, while Zhang Zhou led the 5,000 soldiers of the First Corps to meet Besa's heavily armored cavalry.

When the heavy armored cavalry gallops and charges, no matter what tactics they use, it will not work. Although the soldiers can roll the knife, they will be knocked to death by the horses before they can use it.

When the distance between the two sides was close enough, Zhang Zhou immediately gave the order to raise the shield.
