The sky has gradually dimmed, but in a military camp set up in the wild, nature is still very energetic. The Qingqi who went out to patrol the sentinel staggered back and met the patrol outside their camp.
The soldiers greeted each other with smiles and chatted about various topics.
The junior non-commissioned officers loudly gave orders in front of the tents under their jurisdiction, instructing the soldiers to arrange the tents according to the military camp standards set by General Zhengxi. There were many war horses under Fei Qian's command, so not only the placement of the people but also the arrangement of the war horses must be considered.
And speaking of it, war horses are more troublesome than people. Not only do they need to replenish fodder, but they also need to put a layer of hay on the war horses. Otherwise, the war horses will easily get sick due to moisture from dew.
Although the military camp requires solemn silence, the problem is that there are so many war horses in Fei Qian's army. Although the animals are humane, they still don't understand human rules. They neigh long and short, making this camp look extra special.
lively.
It was time for the soldiers who had fought a victorious battle to have dinner. The young men who had followed all the way from Taiyuan and had been reimbursed for joining the army happily helped with the heavy work of woodcutter, setting up stoves, etc., and began to prepare for the evening meal of the army.
Cooking in this era is not a simple matter. There is no certain time for setting up pots and stoves, collecting firewood, and fetching water. It is simply too late. Therefore, setting up a camp, drinking water and burning firewood must be convenient, and in this era, everything is needed
Manpower, let alone takeout, is just like the Spring Festival in later generations. When Manpower takes a break, half of the people in the city starve...
Of course, the higher-level generals don't care much about these matters. These people have already gathered in Fei Qian's Chinese army tent, waiting for Fei Qian to give the next stage of combat orders.
After winning a battle, they drove the senior officials into the stronghold and cut off most of Yuan's right-wing troops. All the generals, including Zhang Xiu, were beaming with joy. Soldiers, of course, like to win battles no matter what.
Everyone gathered together, wearing helmets and armor, waiting in the big tent of Feiqian. Everyone had smiles on their faces and they were speculating in their hearts. Is the next step to be surrounded or to fight? But no matter what, Yuan Jun has lost his spirit.
, morale is declining, it is not too difficult to encircle or attack the stronghold. Therefore, everyone is very relaxed. Even Zhang Xiu, who still has a punishment waiting to be removed, feels that his shoulders are much lighter.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps was heard, and then Huang Xu took the lead and walked over from the back tent, standing aside with a solemn expression. Everyone immediately stood in awe, cupped their hands and said: "Welcome General!"
Fei Qian followed Huang Xu out of the back tent with long strides. The iron armor on his body made a small clashing sound with his footsteps. His eyes quickly looked around the crowd. When he saw that everyone was standing in an orderly manner, he smiled and nodded.
Said: "Sit down, all sit down. This battle was well fought, everyone is lucky. When we return to Pingyang, we will reward you according to your merits! By the way, Zi Jing said some time ago that it was the wine from last year's cellar.
It's almost healed. When we get back, we'll take one jar each."
"Wow!"
They are all senior men in the military. Apart from women, their favorite thing is drinking. Especially when adrenaline surges from time to time, they need alcohol to numb themselves. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, it was not just Mr. Zhang who liked drinking.
Most generals and colleges have some special preferences for drinks.
"Zao Cong Cao's wine... hiss..." Wei Du drooled.
Zao Zhi's name is still very resounding, and because he has dozens of acres of experimental fields in Pingyang, the rice and corn collected in these fields are only part of himself and given to Fei Qian for a taste, leaving plenty of seeds.
, most of the rest are used to make wine.
Fenshui is used to make wine, which may be the Fenjiu of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, it is good and very popular.
In the big tent, when everyone heard Fei Qian joking, they knew that Fei Qian was in a good mood, so everyone couldn't help but start talking about it, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
There was a table in the middle of the big tent, and there was only a simple wooden diagram on top of the table, stamped in the middle. Because this wooden diagram was made temporarily, it was almost as crude as it could be, and it just marked what they were currently facing.
The high-ranking cadres guarded the mountains and terrain near the mountain stronghold, and the others were completely gone.
Fei Qian also smiled, and after waiting for a while, he gently knocked on the wooden diagram. Everyone understood and immediately stared at Fei Qian with bright eyes, waiting for Fei Qian's order.
In addition to Zhang Xiu, there were also Gong Jun, Wei Du, and several military commanders. At this time, they all looked at Fei Qian and the wooden drawings on the tables.
Fei Qian pointed to the logo on the wooden diagram, briefly talked about the surrounding situation, then knocked on the wooden board and said: "This is the situation in general. Do you have any ideas?"
Gong Jun rolled his eyes a few times and said, "Does the prince want to attack at night?"
"Oh? Tell me?" Fei Qian said with a smile.
Gong Jun licked his lips and became a little excited. Ever since he discovered that he was quite good at night raids, he became more and more fond of night raids. He even felt more excited at night. When he saw Fei Qian, he asked
, said quickly: "I have seen it. Although the three sides of the mountain stronghold are steep and cannot be walked, for my men, it is like flat ground... Hehehehe, climb up, touch it, light a fire, it's like playing...
"
Fei Qian nodded and said, "You're right. In normal times, a night attack would be a good choice, but today...well, if you get in, it probably won't work..."
Gong Jun was stunned: "Why?"
Fei Qian smiled slightly, knocked on the wooden board, and felt a bit like explaining PPT to new employees in later generations, and said: "Take another look..."
The simple battlefield plan is like the high-level calculus series written on the blackboard in the classroom of later generations. It looks weird and is even weirder when done...
Fei Qian waited for a long time, but no one answered. They all shrank their heads, and then quickly turned away when their eyes met.
"Alas..." Fei Qian sighed and said, "Go back and all go to the martial arts hall to study for ten days! In the future, if you have the opportunity, you will have to stand alone, how can you not use your own brains? We are here now, and the camp is very loosely arranged.
...from here to here...our Chinese military tent is here, and then Yuan Jun's stronghold is here..."
Fei Qian knocked on the wooden board and saw the location of the right wing of the formation listed by the senior cadre, which was close to the mountainous area, and said: "I deliberately did not send anyone to this place, nor did I alert the Yuan troops in the mountains... Okay.
Well, if you were the commander-in-chief of Yuan Jun, what would you do now?"
"Breakout!" Zhang Xiu blurted out.
Fei Qian nodded and said, "What's the reason?"
"...This... our army's camp is loose. We can use a small number of troops to pretend to attack here. If we can capture it, the larger troops will join the attack. If we can't capture it, we will turn to join Yuan's army in the mountainous area and retreat into the valley...
It's better than being besieged here..." Zhang Xiu stumbled a bit, but in general he expressed it clearly.
Fei Qian clapped softly and said: "Yes, this is exactly what I have considered. The Yuan army is surrounded, and it must either stick to it or break out. It is obvious that it cannot be defended, so it is better to break out early than to break out early, leaving the mountain road.
One opening means surrounding three buildings, so... Lieutenant Gong, you know that if you attack the stronghold at night tonight, there is a high probability that... well, it is very likely what will happen, right?"
Gong Jun laughed twice and said: "Well, there must be a lot of people with their necks straightened, watching us climb over the wall..."
"Haha, that's right. So now..." Fei Qian smiled, then his smile faded, and he said seriously, "Generals, listen to your orders!"
Zhang Xiu and others quickly stood up and responded in unison. For a moment, the tent was filled with murderous intent...
…………………………
At midnight.
The swaying torches on Yuan Jun's stronghold were extinguished at some point. Groups of soldiers emerged from the darkness as quietly as possible, and then gathered at the foot of the mountain.
A leader of the team looked back, then pulled out his sword, whispered an order, and led the Yuan Jun forwards who had come out of the camp to rush towards the Feiqian camp.
Compared with the soldiers in Sichuan, the soldiers in Jizhou may have more abundant food, so they seem to be stronger in terms of physique and function. They don't have as many night blindness as the thin soldiers in Sichuan.
General Zhengxi's camp was very large, with antlers and other things scattered sparsely placed, and the whole camp was quiet. Yuan Junqu looked at it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth, strode forward, and headed towards
Feiqian's camp is coming!
When they arrived within the range illuminated by the torches of Zhengxi Camp, these Yuan Jun forwards had already relaxed their speed and throats, shouting and clamoring to embolden themselves and encourage their comrades around them, sweeping away the antlers.
, moved Juma away, like a wasp emerging from its nest, and rushed into Fei Qian's camp with a bang!
Wei Du, who was sitting in the camp with heavy armor on and squinting his eyes, heard the shouts coming from the front. He opened his eyes, picked up the battle ax at his feet, and stood up.
, laughed loudly: "The meat delivery guy is here! Line up! Line up!"
Amidst the shouts of Wei Capital, the heavily armored infantrymen also laughed and stood around Wei Capital with a crisp sound of iron pieces hitting each other. The banner of the Central Army of the Expedition to the West was in front of this group of heavy soldiers.
The infantrymen were flying high behind them, providing the best direction guidance for Yuan Jun who rushed into the camp. It was also poisonous honey filled with the smell of death, luring Yuan Jun into it.
Crazy shouts suddenly broke out in the Feiqianzhong military camp. The few sergeants on duty at high places still fulfilled their responsibilities. They drew their bows and fired arrows, sounded the gold warning, and at the same time shouted towards the camp: "The enemy is attacking.
!Enemy attack!”
Scattered arrows fell from the sky, and some unlucky Yuan Jun soldiers were shot and fell to the ground with screams.
However, most of the Yuan Army forwards still gritted their teeth and rushed forward, not caring to counterattack the sentry towers in the distance. They just roared at the top of their lungs, pushed down, smashed, and cut off the not very strong camp fences, and then dispersed.
He drove up and rushed into the first dozen tents, slashing them with a knife without hesitation. He also kicked down the torches at the entrance of the tents or threw them on top of the tents...
If a camp that is normally unprepared is suddenly attacked, then there will naturally be soldiers running around in the camp, soldiers who are not yet wearing armor, jumping out grabbing their weapons, and those corps commanders at all levels.
Long queues and so on came out in chaos, shouting orders, and the confusion made it harder for people to hear clearly.
However, when this group of Yuan troops who rushed into the camp cut into the tent, they found that there seemed to be no other noise except the shouting of their own soldiers!
After these Yuan troops cut through the empty tent and rushed out from the other end, they found that in front of them was not the chaotic situation they expected, but instead the heavily armored infantry that had been lined up in an array, standing like demons under the moonlight.
In the open space behind the tent.
A creepy feeling suddenly spread. The Yuan Jun soldiers who were shouting and waving their swords and guns seemed to have rushed into a pile of glue one by one. Not only their movements, but also their voices became slower...
"Aha! It's here, welcome!" Wei Du blew out a long stream of white air from behind his ferocious mask and said in a strange voice, "Come on! Everyone, lie down!"
"Buzz!"
The tomahawk soared high, and then fell at an even faster speed! With a diagonal sweep, those Yuan Jun infantry who had been pushed forward by the following crowd suddenly dwarfed by half!
When the vanguard Yuan Jun started to attack, the senior officials, under the protection of the guards, left the stronghold and headed towards the mountain.
Staring at the forwards of Yuan Jun rushing in, the senior guards couldn't help but waved their fists excitedly and said, "Great! Rush in!"
Gao Gan looked a little excited at first and led the troops forward for a while. Just when he was about to follow Yuan Jun's forward, his heart suddenly shrank and the muscles in his cheeks twitched. He quickly pulled the reins and almost gave up.
Put on the guards behind you.
Gao Gan opened his eyes wide and looked around carefully, and suddenly found that except for the Zhengxi camp that was attacked, the rest of the Zhengxi camp was silent, as if it had no connection and was ready to stand by and watch...
Although the screams were endless, Gao Gan listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt that the screams in the camp seemed to be the voices of his own soldiers, and a large area of camps in Zhengxi blocked the front, as if they were hiding in
Like a ferocious beast in the darkness, it was quietly opening its huge mouth, just waiting for him to walk into its mouth, and then swallow him with all his bones in one fell swoop!
"You've been caught in a trap! Hurry! Get out!" Gao Gan quickly turned his horse's head towards the mountain road. Seeing that the guards surrounding him were still at a loss, he had no time to explain. He just kicked the horse's belly with all his strength, and fell into despair.
Escape, just like a group of ferocious beasts rushing out of the Zhengxi Camp.
"Hahaha! Let's go there!"
The war drums rumbled, and a group of cavalry from the Western Expedition rushed out, obliquely blocking the Gao Gan's retreat to the mountain stronghold, and with it, Yuan's army, which was lagging behind, was cut into two sections!
"Hurry! Hurry into the valley!" Gao Gan did not have the courage to resist, and did not even dare to look back. He just wanted to quickly gather with the soldiers in the valley, and then escape back to Zhongmou, so he rode hard and drove his horse
He exerted 120% of his skills in all the skills, and even used his long sword to make a severe gash on the horse's butt to stimulate the horse to speed up.
"General Gao, please stay!" At this moment, many torches suddenly lit up in the distance, like a fire dragon with teeth and claws, or like a large unfolded net, coming towards here, a clear voice
It rang in the night sky, "It was a long night, tossing and turning, and General Gao left like this. Could it be that Fei was not treating his guests well?"
Fei Qian finished shouting, waved his hand leisurely, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "Then, the opportunity is given to you, can you make the difference..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiu had already galloped out on horseback, waving his spear and shouting loudly: "If you can't capture the enemy general! I won't have the face to see the general again! My sons, follow me!"
Fei Qian smiled slightly, then looked up at the sky. A bright moon hung high in the night sky. It was a cool autumn day...
