On this trip, Li Bian's men were all strong. After returning, they had enough leather armor to replace iron armor, and even the war horses could be equipped. Now, it was time to burn down the enemy camp. This was also to cover up the secrets of the enemy.
The best way to prove the crime of plunder! As desert men who have turned from horse thieves to the Qin army, they have long been familiar with this method of private plunder. They even used it too much on the people of the Huaihe and Lianghuai areas in the last battle against Jin.
times, it's pretty good at it.
Li Bian took the lead and rushed to the camp of the Xiyan Army. This kind of robbery and arson was what he was best at. In the desert, his main occupation was to be a bandit in the desert, leading tribe members to rob.
Although the caravans traveling on the Silk Road were strictly ordered by Yang Ding today not to rob the Xiyan Army's baggage privately, as long as they lit a fire and completed the mission, are they still afraid that they will not get enough benefits afterwards?
Li Bian led more than two hundred personal guards and quickly rushed into the Xiyan Army camp. In the Xiyan Army camp, hundreds of tents were neatly arranged, divided into sections, with alternating rows.
There are more than ten steps, seven or eight steps between rows, and some large baggage vehicles and grain and grass are placed in an orderly manner between the tents, which are the best tools for robbery and arson.
The Qin Army cavalry were also dispersed into small teams, galloping back and forth in the alleys of the military camp, shouting cheerful chants, and throwing torches in their hands towards the tents and carts of the Xi Yan Army.
Suddenly, in the dry air of the desert, these natural ignition materials burst into flames, and black smoke suddenly jumped more than ten feet into the air.
Li Bian's team galloped happily all the way. The tent behind them had turned into a sea of fire, and the scorching temperature was left behind by them, the sons of wind. However, these skilled Qin army knights were still on guard in the tent at first.
There might be an ambush by the Xiyan army, but after burning dozens of curtains, not even half a person was seen. They were completely relieved, and took out the torches one by one from the bags on the sides of the horses, and burned the tents and tents that were already on fire.
The hay cart was set on fire and quickly rushed to the next area where the fire was set.
Seeing that the more than seventy tents at the rear of the Xiyan Army had turned into a sea of flames, Li Bian ran towards a camp in the middle. This should be the center of the Xiyan Army and where the commander's tent was. As the commander-in-chief, Li Bian
, of course, he doesn’t want to let others take away his credit. Even with the rear army burned like this, there is no movement in the Xiyan camp. Presumably the Xiyan army has already sent out in full force to attack the city. What he has to do now is to rush back before the Xiyan army returns for reinforcements.
, completely burn the camp, and then join up with Yang Ding's main force. The Xiyan army, which has lost its foothold in advance and retreat, can survive on the battlefield with a fire scene behind it and Qin army's cavalry on both sides.
?
Li Bian's heart was filled with beauty. He held two torches in both hands and held the reins in his mouth. He relied on the strength of his legs to hold the horse's belly and control the direction and speed of the horse's galloping.
The tent was in an open space in front of him. In Li Bian's eyes, there was only this thing and the "Xi Yan" flag flying high in front of the handsome tent. He burned the handsome tent and then cut it down.
This handsome flag will definitely make the Xiyan army fall into chaos without a fight.
A cold and stern voice sounded from Li Bian's right side: "General Li, what do you mean? Why did you loot first and then set fire to it?"
Li Bian's expression changed and he looked to the right. Yang Ding looked gloomy and stood side by side with Peng Zihe, while Liu Canjun followed them with a sneer and looked at Li Bian.
Li Bian suddenly understood what was going on and said angrily: "Liu, you betrayed me! It turns out that all literati are white-eyed wolves and cannot be trusted!"
Liu Canjun laughed: "General Li, you are wrong. I, Liu Chang, have been ordered by the King of Heaven to join the army with you. If I want to be loyal, I am only loyal to the King of Heaven. There is no need to be loyal to you.
Marshal Yang is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and his military orders are the orders of the King of Heaven. You disobeyed his military orders, killing prisoners first and plundering privately behind. I reported your disobedience to Marshal Yang. Is it still wrong?"
Li Bian said bitterly: "I'll settle the score with you later! Marshal Yang, don't listen to this guy's words. I was afraid of an ambush in the camp, so I asked my subordinates to search separately. You also know that my
Many of my subordinates are men from the grasslands and bandits from the desert. It is inevitable that some of them will take advantage of me privately."
Yang Ding glanced coldly at the bulging package on Li Bian's saddle, and said coldly: "Okay, the military situation is urgent now. This is not the time to investigate the responsibility. We will talk about violations of military discipline later. As long as
Are we afraid that winning this battle will not do any good? It’s just that our plan needs to change. The Yan army seems to be giving up this camp. I see that instead of returning to support, their army has moved to the east as a whole. Look
It looks like he wants to bypass the main camp and return to the Weishui camp."
Peng Zihe said in a deep voice: "Please give the order to Marshal Yang, let me lead the cavalry to attack and hunt down the enemy. Now that their army has no fighting spirit, we can definitely destroy them!"
Yang Ding shook his head: "No, after all, the enemy army has more than 100,000 troops attacking the city. Even if the rear camp is lost for a while, the main force is not lost. If we attack hastily at this time, there is a possibility of being ambushed by the enemy. This time we can loot
The enemy's camp is a big one. Capturing so much of their baggage is already a great victory. There is no need to take any more risks. Someone comes and sends an order to each army to search the camp separately and seize the enemy's baggage!"
Yang Ding turned to Li Bian and said: "General Li, we will take over the task of cleaning up the enemy camp. Your troops have worked hard today and have stayed in the camp for a long enough time. Please come out now."
The camp is on alert to prevent the enemy from attacking us!"
Li Bian's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Yang Ding, what do you mean? Do you want to drive us away and then monopolize the treasure here?"
Yang Ding said coldly: "This is a military order, General Li. Do you still want to disobey the order for the second time in one day? Don't think that I don't know how much you have stolen! If you are disrespectful to me again, be careful not to eat even your little."
Spit it all out!"
There was a rapid sound of gongs, followed by the sound of arrows piercing the air. Yang Ding and Li Bian suddenly opened their eyes and opened their mouths. The riding whip fell from their hands to the ground.
But what they saw in their eyes was that countless Xiyan Army crossbowmen suddenly flashed out from among the row of white tents, and in the open space in front of them, three half-man-high horse trip stakes were erected directly.
He stood up, and from behind the horse pile, crossbow arrows were attacking like locusts.
