Chapter 575

That night, late at night, Huan's army marched out in full force according to the plan discussed in advance.

In the darkness, the gate of Huanjun's camp quietly opened, and the Huanjun who had been prepared poured out like a tide. No one spoke, but the sound of rumbling footsteps and the scraping of armor could be heard from the scene.

.

The soldiers who came out of the camp quickly formed a square formation outside the camp, then moved forward together, heading straight for the coalition camp opposite.

The Huan army had a large number of troops. The soldiers in front had already walked out a mile away, and the soldiers behind were still rushing out of the camp. Looking up, there was a sea of ​​people on the scene, and it was so dark that it was hard to tell their numbers.

Not long after, Qian Chong also left the camp surrounded by many Huan generals. As soon as he arrived outside the camp, he heard someone from behind shouting: "General Qian, don't insist on going his own way. This time, the whole army may be wiped out."

It’s dangerous!”

The war was approaching, and what people hated hearing the most were such depressing words. Even if Qian Chong didn't look back, he would know who was chanting the funeral sutra behind him.

Without looking back, he said to the guards beside him: "Go and stop Hu Liang and the other Sichuan people in the camp. We don't need the Sichuan people's help in this battle!"

The guards agreed one after another, separated out dozens of people, and quickly returned to the camp, blocking Hu Liang and other Sichuan generals who were about to chase them out of the camp.

Perhaps Qian Chong and Hu Liang are really in conflict with each other. Their opinions have never been unified from beginning to end. In the beginning, Hu Liang took the lead and Qian Chong opposed it. Now it has been reversed, with Qian Chong taking the lead and Hu Liang opposing it.

It can be said that sending Hu Liang here to assist Qian Chong was a huge mistake. It can also be seen from this that Sichuan State prepared for this war in a hurry and did not achieve all-round and detailed preparations.

Let's talk about Qian Chong, who led almost all the main forces of the Huan Army to attack the coalition camp. When he was still far away from the coalition camp, he saw that the walls of the coalition camp were covered with torches, stretching into a long row.

Like a spreading fire dragon, through the light of the fire, one can clearly see the numerous soldiers standing on the wall of the village, filled with allied soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of the Huan Army saw this so clearly that they couldn't help but take a breath. Looking at the posture of the coalition forces, it didn't seem like there were signs that a large number of soldiers had been poisoned!

General Youhuan said worriedly to Qian Chong: "General, the enemy's defenses are very strong. Did we miscalculate? The enemy did not have a large number of people poisoned!"

This situation made Qian Chong feel unsure, but his side had fought hard to get out of the camp. It would be unreasonable to retreat without fighting a single battle. The Sichuan people didn't know how to laugh at their side!

He secretly gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Continue to attack. If the coalition counterattacks fiercely, our army will withdraw to the camp!"

According to Qian Chong's order, Huan Jun still chose to push forward even though he saw that the coalition camp was heavily defended.

The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and soon the leading troops of the Huan Army were only 200 steps away from the coalition camp.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Huan Army had their hearts in their throats, and people involuntarily raised their shields, making a posture to resist the coalition's arrow array at any time.

As the Huan Army continued to advance, the distance between the two sides changed from 200 steps to 150 steps, and gradually, to 100 steps. At this point, it can be said that the Huan Army has completely entered the range of the coalition forces.

There were shouts and shouts in the Huan Army camp. The commanders of the corps and the captains of thousands shuttled back and forth among their respective formations, shouting and commanding, asking the soldiers under their command to maintain their formation and raise their shields.

In an instant, there was a roaring sound in the Huan Army camp. The soldiers raised their shields in unison. Looking from top to bottom, one could hardly see the figures of Huan Army soldiers. The shields above the camp seemed to merge into one, forming a

A huge steel barrier.

But when we got here, there was still no movement from the coalition forces on the opposite side. The coalition soldiers on the wall were standing next to each other and crowded together, as if they were asleep. They stood in place, motionless.

The scene at this time had an indescribable strangeness. The Huan Army's large group of men and horses were cautiously advancing forward, but the Allied soldiers turned a blind eye to it and did not make any counterattack.

Even the experienced Qian Chong and the many Huan generals under his command could not understand this situation, and they did not understand what kind of tricks the coalition forces were playing.

Because he was unsure and unclear about the coalition's intentions, and saw that his own front troops were about to enter within a hundred steps of the coalition camp, Qian Chong hurriedly issued an order to stop the advance of the entire army and to stand still for the time being.

After the Huan army's advance stopped, Qian Chong, protected by many Huan generals, came to the front army and looked up at the nearby coalition camp. Yes, the wall in front was indeed full of Feng troops. Yu

Army and An Army, but why didn't they fight back?

It would be understandable if they did not see our side when we first left the camp, but now we are within a hundred steps of the coalition camp. Even if the coalition soldiers are blind, they can still hear it!

The more they looked, the weirder they felt. General Huan shuddered one after another and looked at Qian Chong in unison. Someone trembled and said: "General, the coalition forces are acting strangely. There may be fraud in it. Our army...will our army give up the attack?"

Should we retreat to the camp first?"

Qian Chong did not answer immediately, but stared at the coalition camp without blinking. After a long time, he turned his head and shouted: "Where is Shen Fang?"

"The general is here!" Shen Fang, the partial general, hurriedly urged his horses to come out. When he came to Qian Chong, he asked, "What are your instructions, general?"

"Go to our formation, challenge the enemy, and see how the enemy reacts!" Qian Chong said quietly, squinting his eyes.

He went to challenge the enemy and scold the formation by himself again! After hearing this, Shen Fang grinned secretly, but he did not dare to disobey the order. He swallowed and whispered, "I will obey the order!"

After speaking, he turned his horse's head, shouted to the soldiers in front, separated from his own crowd, and rushed out with his spear in hand.

As soon as he left the front army camp, Shen Fang pulled the reins of his war horse and did not dare to run forward. In fact, this place was already within the range of the coalition camp. He was afraid that if he ran further, he might immediately encounter the enemy.

The army shot into a hedgehog.

He plucked up the courage and shouted loudly at the top of the stronghold wall: "Listen, rebels, I am Huan General Shen Fang. Is there anyone who is not afraid of death to come out and fight with me?"

His shout was loud, and the echo lingered for a long time after he finished shouting, but there was no movement from the coalition camp, as if he had not heard his shout.

Seeing this, Shen Fang felt even more uncertain. He subconsciously looked back, then bit the bullet and shouted again: "Have you, the bandits, all turned into cowards? Who dares to come out and fight with me?"

Will we fight?"

There was still no response from the coalition camp opposite. Shen Fang shouted several times in succession. Not to mention that no one came out to fight, not even a single person responded.

The huge coalition camp was eerily silent, as if it had turned into a death camp, and the coalition troops standing on the long wall seemed to have turned into wood carvings and stone sculptures.

Shen Fang shouted so hard that his voice almost became hoarse, and he didn't see any movement in the coalition camp. He finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, turned his horse's head, turned around and ran back.

As soon as he ran back, the soldiers behind him didn't understand what was going on. They thought they had fallen into the coalition's plan, and subconsciously turned around and retreated quickly.

I saw the Huan army's camp, like an ebbing tide, quickly retreating from the range of the coalition camp. Seeing this, Qian Chong became furious. He first shouted to stop the retreat of the front army, and then called for Shen Fang asked him what was going on.

When Shen Fang came to Qian Chong, his face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "General, it's too weird. The coalition camp is really weird. The enemy must be hiding a conspiracy. Our army should retreat quickly!"

When Qian Chong heard this, his nose was almost crooked with anger. He asked angrily: "Are you the coach or am I the coach? Do all the soldiers in the army want to obey your command?"

Shen Fang trembled in fright, lowered his head, and did not dare to say another word. Qian Chong glared at him again, and then raised his eyes to look at the enemy camp ahead.

After an unknown amount of time, Qian Chong casually wiped the sweat from his face, took a deep breath, and shouted to his left and right: "Send my military order and the front army will attack. I would like to see what the coalition forces are planning!"

"General, you can't do that. The coalition's intentions are unknown, and our army hastily attacked. We're afraid we'll suffer big losses!"

"Even if I suffer a loss, I still have to find out what plan the coalition forces are using and what tricks they are playing!" At this time, Qian Chong had to shoot with an arrow on the string, gritting his teeth and gritting his teeth.

Under his command, the front soldiers of the Huan Army began to advance forward again. It was not until the front army entered the coalition camp fifty steps that there was finally movement in the coalition camp, and sparse arrows flew down from the wall of the village. .

These arrows shot down could not even be considered an arrow array. They were too few in number. Looking at its scale, it seemed that only a few thousand people were shooting arrows on the long village wall. However, even if the coalition soldiers fighting on the wall were If there are not 100,000 people, there must be 60,000 to 70,000 people.

The officers and soldiers of the Huan Army could not understand what was going on, but in any case, the enemy's arrows posed little threat to them, and the officers and soldiers of the front army continued to advance without slowing down.

Soon, the front troops of the Huan Army advanced under the wall of the coalition camp. The soldiers set up ladders and began to climb up.

In a fortified battle, this stage should be the most difficult. The defenders will use all their strength to block the attacking side. All kinds of city defense weapons, such as rolling logs, pounding stones, kerosene, etc., will be used.

But the situation at this time was completely opposite. Just now, the coalition forces had shot some scattered arrows. Now that the Huan army had arrived in front of the camp, not only were there no rolling logs or stones, even the arrows had stopped, as if they were defending the wall. All the coalition soldiers seemed to have disappeared at once, but the strange thing was that the walls of the village were indeed filled with coalition soldiers.

The attacking Huan soldiers rushed up to the defenseless coalition wall with a wave of greetings. After coming up, the Huan soldiers shouted to embolden themselves while facing the coalition soldiers standing on the wall. Crazy slashing.
