78, camp
Under the quiet and dark night sky, rockets cut through the sky like meteors and fell into the camp tents scatteredly. Yan Zhenjun's camp exploded like a pot of boiling hot water. The sound of whistle, the sound of whistle, the sound of trumpets, the sound of trumpets, and the sound of people and horses gathered and intertwine into one, gradually spreading from outside the camp to the entire camp. Countless torches were shaking, the figures in the camp, the horses drove away, the metal and iron attacked, and the soldiers rushed into the ground. The enemy cavalry that rushed in like a tide showed that Yan Zhenjun was suffering a huge threat under the night sky.
Outside the camp, the capable ministers arrived under the escort of their personal knights and urged their horses to slowly climb up to a high ground that had just been seized from the guard post of the Guanxi soldiers. The bodies of several Guanxi soldiers fell naked to the ground, their armor had been stripped off, and their blood was silently soaked in the soil. The camp tent burned into ashes was blazed with blue smoke, and when the strong wind in the wilderness in the night drifted away without a trace.
Naichen Zhi sniffed, turned his eyes to the direction where countless fires were swaying, and a grim smile appeared on his thin face. The smell of blood that spreads at night was very suitable for his appetite.
The tribal warriors under his command have successfully broken through the defense line outside the camp and rushed into the camp of the Western Liang soldiers. He believes that next will be a beautiful and ruthless killing game.
Shortly after Yan Xing led his army out of the valley, he was discovered by the racial tribe of the Aichen Reached tribe who migrated from Youbeiping to the western border of Liao.
At the beginning, the capable minister who received the news was shocked and panicked, and even had the idea of retreating quickly.
But after calm analysis, he quickly changed his mind. It was obvious that the troops led by Yan Xing were not aimed at the weak self. What they wanted to deal with was to plunder many Han people and entrench in Liucheng, the powerful Wuhuan King Tadun.
To this end, the capable ministers no longer rushed to gather people to get closer to Liucheng's Dadun. Instead, they sent envoys to Liucheng to warn Shanyu Louban and King Taidun. While sending a cavalry to harass the baggage convoy behind the Xiliang Army, they selected elite tribes to follow the Xiliang Army far behind, waiting for an opportunity to move until they seized the opportunity tonight. Then the cover of the night quickly approached and suddenly launched an attack.
As the side of the attack, the capable minister had to admit that the enemy in front of him was brave and trained in an orderly manner. However, they had just experienced a long journey, and their tiredness had not yet recovered, and they were not familiar with the mountains and rivers of western Liaoning. The capable minister's reign, the wolf lurking in the night, could always seize the opportunity with its unique advantages, revealing its white fangs, and pounce on them fiercely in the unexpected place.
"King, look——"
The cavalry next to him suddenly pointed to the camp of the Xiliang soldiers not far away and shouted, causing the reins in the hand of the capable minister to tighten, and his eyes' pupils quickly expanded.
···
Yan Xingjun Camp.
The tent of the Central Army camp was brightly lit. Yan Xing, who was calm and calm, stood upright and sat upright. The nearby advisers Xun You, Zhou Liang, Tian Chou and others had already arrived. Tian Yu, wearing armor and swords, led his own soldiers to guard the tent around the camp, and he kept his steps away. In silence, a tense and solemn atmosphere was formed inside and outside.
Yan Xing was the commander of the three armies and was no longer a general who charged into battle. Therefore, in the face of the attack on the camp of the enemy cavalry, what he should do was no longer to patrol the camp to boost morale and wear armor to hold sharp edges to resist the enemy cavalry, but to remain as motionless as a mountain, sit firmly on the tent of the central army, firmly control the center of the army, and make the entire army in chaos and orderly. Military orders can be conveyed between the battalions, so that the generals and schools fighting in the army can have the backbone, and each can perform their duties, and perform their duties of all sizes in accordance with daily laws and training.
"Report—"
Several cavalrymen drove from far to near outside the gate, and the sound of iron hooves trampling on the ground and the clanging sound of armor can be clearly heard. The military camp was originally strictly prohibited from galloping horses, but the military situation is urgent and must not be delayed at all. Under the urgency of the matter, the cavalry who had issued a special order in the central army rode out of the tent before dismounting.
The experienced soldiers in the army knew that the number of cavalry must have important military information reported. Therefore, wherever the cavalry passed, the soldiers wearing strong and holding sharp armored soldiers looked slightly sideways. Tian Yu and others who were guarding the tent also gave way and the dismounted knights passed quickly.
"Report—"
The wind brought by the knight who strided into the tent blew several candles at the door of the tent tilted. The knight in charge did not look squinting and uttered the orders, and saluted cleanly to Yan Xing, who was sitting upright in the middle of the tent, and said loudly:
"Report to the general, Pu Gulu, and Wulouji, the two commanders, have led their troops to repel the front team of the cavalry."
"General, General Zhang Zhonglang has led his troops to cut off the formation of the enemy cavalry in half. The enemy cavalry was in chaos and had no fighting spirit, and they all collapsed out of the camp."
"General, Captain Wang personally led his troops to chase and kill the captive cavalry and beheaded a thousand commander of Ukraine Huan."
The knights behind also rushed to report first. The counselors and scholars who heard this breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Xing said in a calm and stable tone.
"Then the command of Zhang He, Wang Zhong and other troops to the dark night and wind are high. Do not pursue the enemy in poverty, and do not advance rashly, so as not to be ambushed by the Wuhuan people."
"promise!!!"
Several knights responded to the promise, turned around and quickly walked out of the military tent, and instantly rode out of the gate again, and each went to the troops of the headquarters to pass orders.
"General, this enemy cavalry is coming in full force. Although it is temporarily defeated and retreated, I am afraid that the team will continue to follow and return—"
Zhou Liang waited until the knight who reported to him walked away, but finally couldn't bear it and said, but he was soon stopped by Yan Xing.
"Yuan Shan, don't rush to give an attraction, I want to see these night-attacked cavalry with my own eyes."
···
After the Wuhuan cavalry attacking the camp was frustrated, the Tathagata retreated quickly, but it was no longer the Tathagata's aura. Zhang He, Wang Zhong and other troops chased and gained a lot of results, but they also followed Yan's military orders and did not dare to pursue them in depth. They counted their troops in time and withdrew their troops back to the camp.
Under the dazzling firelight, Yan Xing, the general of the cavalry who came from the tent, was watching the large mess left by the Wuhuan cavalry to the camp.
Although the camp of the Guanxi soldiers was simple, it was strictly established in accordance with the rules of the field army camping. Although the camp was broken through by the Wuhuan cavalry, the inner circle camp that guarded the central army was not rioted. The servants of the leading army were all Hu generals in the army who had followed him for many years, and the brave Qin and Hu soldiers under their command. In the emergency situation at that time, they made a quick decision and chose to rely on the gentle slope in front of them to line up with soldiers to resist the Wuhuan cavalry vanguard who rushed into the camp to drive straight into the central army.
Looking at the broken spear, the broken big slab, the dead war horse, and the corpses with different postures, Yan Xing, who had fought for many years, narrowed his eyes slightly, and scenes of the time had already appeared in his mind:
The spear of the Qin Hu soldiers suffered a blow to the original unscrupulous Wuhuan cavalry, but the commander of the Wuhuan commander who led the troops was obviously unwilling to fail. He not only sent the cavalry to detour and continue to set fire to harass the camp, but also quickly organized multiple rounds of charges, trying to defeat the Qin Hu soldiers who formed a formation to resist and approached the central army's gate.
During the continuous charge, the formation of Qin and Hu soldiers was indeed broken by the Wuhuan cavalry for one time. The enemy and us immediately met in the melee at night. Many soldiers died with the fallen Wuhuan cavalry during the melee. They howled heart-wrenchingly, trying their best to stab the weapons into the enemy's bodies, and then pushed the enemy down the gentle slope.
It was not until Zhang He and his elite cavalry cut the Wuhuan cavalry into two sections that they had not made any breakthroughs, and the Wuhuan cavalry, who had no response from the beginning and end, finally fell into the chaos of defeat. They turned their horses one after another and wanted to follow the original path to rush out of the camp.
At this moment, Wang Zhong, who suddenly came out of the slant, killed the commander of the Wuhuan army with his personal soldiers. The Wuhuan cavalry, who had no leader, was completely in chaos and rushed out of the camp. He was chased by Zhang He, Wang Zhong and other troops, and many people were captured.
"Have you asked clearly, which Wuhuan soldiers are from?"
Yan Xing opened his eyes again and asked.
"General, the soldiers learned from the torture of many prisoners that this was a capable minister who claimed to be the King of Khanlu in Youbeiping."
Tian Yu hurriedly approached and replied.
"The capable ministers resisted him..." Yan Xing pondered slightly when he heard this. In these days, he had read the news about the Wuhuan tribes collected in the army countless times. For a moment, all the information about the capable ministers resisted him came to Yan Xing's mind.
This is the weakest of the three Wuhuans. Although they are known as Wuhuan in western Liaoning, the capable ministers are undoubtedly vassals under the command of Wuhuan King Tadun. Compared with the powerful Wuhuan in western Liaoning, the capable ministers in Youbeiping have far less than those in the army. In order to avoid the brilliance of the troops in Guanxi, they migrated the troops and livestock of Youbeiping into western Liaoning. But unexpectedly, they discovered their own army first, and they were fearless and dared to launch a raid at night.
"Ming Gong, although the camp repelled the enemy cavalry, this is only a small part of the three Wuhuan tribes. Since the tribes that could be resisted by ministers appeared, the large cavalry of Tadun's team is probably not far from our army..."
Xu You frowned and approached Yan Xing and analyzed the situation.
In his opinion, although he repelled the night attack from the capable ministers tonight, the dangerous situation of the army did not reverse at all. Gongsun Xu's army had no news for a long time, and the rear baggage convoy was attacked again. The large Wuhuan cavalry of the Tadun would arrive soon. There was no danger to defend this camp. The lower-level soldiers in the army were attacked, and the troops were tired and panic. If they fought with the main force of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, they would be afraid that there would be more danger.
Yan Xing seemed to have not heard of this. He thought for a moment and called Tian Chou.
"Mr. Tian, you said before that a hundred miles away from Liucheng is near the river water source, right?"
"Yes, General."
Tian Chou nodded and replied.
"Good, the enemy is in front of you, there is no danger here to defend, and you cannot stay for a long time. I am so kind that I will lead my army here overnight, and I will ask the gentleman to lead the clan members to lead the way forward."
“…”
Tian Chou knew that Yan Xingjun was in a dangerous situation in the enemy territory. In western Liaoning, Tadun was already prepared and the strategic significance of driving forward to attack Liucheng was losing. However, he did not expect that Yan Xing would not retreat but advance, and he actually wanted to seize Bailang Mountain and fight a tough battle with the main force of Tadun's Wuhuan on the land in western Liaoning.
This really surprised him.
"Why, Mr. Tian is scared?"
Yan Xing asked with a smile when he saw Tian Chou not making a sound for a while.
Tian Chou was shocked when he heard this and quickly responded:
Chapter completed!
