Most of the garrison soldiers of Cana City were hiding in the city, waiting for the Xia army to attack. They could trap the Xia army in Cana City by relying on their familiarity with the terrain and the ambush laid in advance.
But if it was dark and the Xia army dispersed quickly after entering the city, the damage might be much less.
As the sky grew dark, Sun Bingzhi and the three lieutenants each led a group of troops into the city. Liu Yinfeng put on a large cloak and stood outside the tent looking in the direction of Cana City. Each of the generals only brought 20,000 people.
There were more than 20,000 people left in the camp waiting for Liu Yinfeng's dispatch at any time. He had already made an appointment with several generals to use the fireworks as a message to report the situation in the city back in time, so that Liu Yinfeng could quickly arrange his troops.
The night outside Cana City was a bit cold. Liu Yinfeng gathered the cloak around her body and raised her eyes to look at the scattered stars in the night sky.
A firework suddenly lit up on the city of Kana in the distance. Seeing this, Shang Lu hurriedly said: "Sir, this is Vice General Lin's signal. He has not encountered any enemy troops."
Not long after, another red firework also lit up: "General Sun has not encountered the enemy either."
However, the other two teams did not respond for a long time. Liu Yinfeng frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart. After a while, the other two fireworks lit up almost at the same time: "Master, Vice General Yang and Vice General Sun."
Met an ambush."
Liu Yinfeng nodded lightly and felt confident: "Vice General Lin and General Sun are on the middle road. Vice General Yang will go to the west, and Vice General Sun will go to the east. Send out a signal, and the middle road will provide support to both sides."
Chang Shan behind him responded, took two fireworks, lit them, and with a "whoosh" sound, the fireworks rose into the sky and suddenly opened.
The wind gradually became stronger, and there were sand dunes all around Cana City. The sand and dust blew over with the wind. Liu Yinfeng frowned, only feeling a slight pain from the sand hitting his face.
Chang Shan hurriedly walked to the windward side to block Liu Yinfeng: "Master, it will take some time for the two groups of soldiers in the middle to support the two sides. The wind is strong outside and Master is in a hurry. It is better to go back to the camp to rest first and wait for the signal from the city.
At that time, my subordinates will report to the Young Master again. The Young Master must take care of himself. He is the only one in the camp now. If the Young Master is infected with cold poison at this time, the subordinates really don’t know what to do."
Liu Yinfeng turned his eyes and looked at Chang Shan. After pondering for a moment, he nodded slightly and responded, retreating to the tent.
As soon as we entered the camp, we heard the whistling of the wind outside, which seemed to be louder.
Liu Yinfeng did not dare to rest, so he took a book and read it by the fire. There was no signal in the city for a long time, and Liu Yinfeng felt a little more uneasy.
He raised his hand to rub his temples and poured himself a cup of tea. Just as he was about to drink the tea, he vaguely heard some unusual movements around him.
Chang Shan and Shang Lu had already opened the tent tent and walked in, with anxious expressions on their faces: "Sir, no, Yelang's army is attacking the camp at night."
The tea cup in Liu Yinfeng's hand paused slightly, and some tea swayed out of the cup and fell on Liu Yinfeng's cloak.
"A night attack on the camp? Shouldn't all the soldiers guarding Cana be in ambush in the city? How could it be..." Liu Yinfeng paused mid-sentence, and suddenly realized that this might be the real empty city strategy.
The soldiers guarding Cana City must be very familiar with the terrain. They are so familiar with it that they can tell in advance that there may be wind and sand at night. They expected that coming out during the day would make the Xia army suspicious and they would not dare to enter in the daytime.
The city only had a chance at night. And at night, they used very few troops to set up some ambushes in the city, making themselves think that the Yelang army was ambushing in the city. In fact, they had already bypassed the city of Cana and came from the side.
He broke out of the desert and prepared to attack the Xia army's camp at night, thus cutting off the Xia army's retreat.
Liu Yinfeng's face was a little pale, and he spoke after a while: "Set off signal fireworks and tell them to withdraw and rescue them. Quick! Assemble all the soldiers left behind in the camp to prepare to meet the enemy. Almost most of the supplies for the army are in the camp.
, the camp must not be lost.”
Chang Shan and Shang Lu quickly responded and quickly left the camp.
If it is as Liu Yinfeng expected, the number of enemy troops will definitely not be less than 50,000. And there are only 20,000 people left in the camp, so they are already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, the terrain outside Cana City,
Since the soldiers of the Yelang Kingdom are more familiar with it, and now there is wind and sand, it is even more unfavorable for the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.
Liu Yinfeng took the big cloak and the two flags placed on the desk to direct the formation, and hurriedly left the camp.
The horn has been blown, and outside the tent, Changshan is setting off signal fireworks.
Liu Yinfeng looked at the soldiers running around and said to Chang Shan: "How far away can the enemy be?"
Chang Shan's face looked a little heavy: "It's not far away. Because the wind was too loud, we didn't notice the enemy approaching at all. By the time we found out, it was already too late."
Liu Yinfeng nodded and looked around, with a bit of anxiety on his face: "Where is the highest place in the camp? Take me up there."
Chang Shan thought for a while and responded: "I'm afraid only Shuaiying's tent can hold the roof."
"Then go to the top of the tent." Liu Yinfeng responded softly, "Take me up."
Although Chang Shan didn't know what Liu Yinfeng wanted to do, he quickly agreed. He hugged Liu Yinfeng and jumped onto the top of the handsome camp tent not far away. The wind was very strong, and Liu Yinfeng barely managed to stand on the top of the tent.
He stood firm and his eyes were unable to open due to the wind and sand.
"Go and find me some more flags." Liu Yinfeng ordered, "and then bring the lamps from the tent."
Hearing this, Chang Shan quickly got off the roof of the tent, searched around for some flags, and delivered them to Liu Yinfeng. Liu Yinfeng bit his lip and saw a black shadow heading towards the camp from a distance, and he was getting more and more excited.
Coming closer.
Liu Yinfeng poured out the tung oil from the oil lamp and carefully poured it on the flag: "Light the fire and light the flag."
Chang Shan hurriedly took out the fire stick and lit the flag a little. There was tung oil on the flag, and it burned violently. The flag was not small. Liu Yinfeng held the flag and waved it with some difficulty.
Chang Shan immediately understood Liu Yinfeng's intention. He was frightened and hurriedly said: "Young master wants to set up a formation? But in this position, if the enemy finds out, he will be a living target."
However, Liu Yinfeng's expression remained unchanged and he whispered this command: "Send a message to Shanglu and order him to direct the soldiers to look this way."
Chang Shan glanced at Liu Yinfeng, gritted his teeth, and quickly raised his hand and blew a long whistle. Not long after, Liu Yinfeng discovered that the soldiers in the camp were arranging the formation according to the tactics he commanded, but only the flags
It was almost burning out. Seeing this, Chang Shan quickly took another flag, lit it, and handed it to Liu Yinfeng.
Amber also ran over in a hurry and stayed by Liu Yinfeng's side. This battle was mainly for defense. Liu Yinfeng commanded a circular formation. Outside the circular formation, there was an ambush formation.
Liu Yinfeng saw that the enemy troops had arrived outside the camp. In front of the ambush formation, he waved the flag, and the soldiers in the ambush hooked the hooks in their hands on the legs of the cavalry in front of the enemy troops, and pulled hard.
The people in the room fell on their backs, and the soldiers behind were also affected, and the formation was suddenly disrupted.
After disrupting the enemy's formation, Liu Yinfeng raised his flag again, and the soldiers in the lying formation quickly retreated and hid in the circular formation. The soldiers on the outermost edge of the circular formation were shield soldiers, so they
Start spinning in circles.
The enemy readjusted their formation and moved towards the shield soldiers on the outside. Liu Yinfeng waved his flag again, and the shield soldiers stopped turning. From the middle of the shield, a spear was suddenly thrust out, allowing the enemy to
Jun was caught off guard and took two steps back suddenly.
The archers who were behind stood up on the shoulders of the infantry, and fired random arrows at the enemy.
One after another, the enemy was caught unprepared by the unexpected events. They were temporarily confused and Xia's army took the opportunity to kill a lot of people.
Yelang's army retreated a certain distance, Liu Yinfeng lowered his flag again, the archers and infantry retreated, and the shield soldiers began to turn around again.
However, the general leading the Yelang army seemed to have seen where Liu Yinfeng was, and there was no movement for a long time. The merchant in the team noticed something was wrong, and sent a long whistle to Changshan to send a message.
After Chang Shan received it, he felt anxious, so he also took a flag and lit it, and jumped to the top of another tent: "Hu Hui, put the young master's flag away. Just tell him how to raise the flag, Hu Hui
Shout to me."
When Hu Bo heard this, he ignored Liu Yinfeng's "no" and quickly snatched Liu Yinfeng's flag and threw it to the ground. Liu Yinfeng frowned, but heard Phytolacca's warning again.
Signal.
Amber quickly pulled Liu Yinfeng and jumped off the top of the commander's tent, hiding under the tent where Shang Lu was standing. In a moment, he heard the sound of breaking through the air, and the top of the commander's tent where he was standing just now.
Immediately it was filled with arrows.
Chang Shan from above raised his voice and said: "Sir, the enemy has launched another attack. This time, the cavalry attacked first."
Liu Yinfeng quickly raised his voice and said: "Flag to the left."
Chang Shan hurriedly followed the instructions and saw the soldiers who had laid down the ground throw the scimitar out from the gap suddenly vacated by the shield soldiers, hooked the horse's leg, and then pulled it sharply.
A neighing sound sounded.
"Sir, the enemy's cavalry has not withdrawn yet, and the infantry has already moved forward." Chang Shan's voice was also faster, and his tone was full of anxiety.
Liu Yinfeng was also very nervous and quickly said to Hu Hu: "Quick, let me go to the top of the tent. I can't see what's going on outside."
Amber glanced at Liu Yinfeng, then hugged Liu Yinfeng and jumped onto a tent adjacent to Changshan. Just as he jumped up, there was another sound of piercing the air, and a dense rain of arrows struck.
come over.
Seeing this, Chang Shan hurriedly threw down the flag in his hand, jumped onto Liu Yinfeng's tent, and drew his sword to block the incoming arrows.
But he still heard Liu Yinfeng, who was protected by the two of them, take a breath and tremble suddenly.
Amber's voice was also a little trembling: "Young Master!" (To be continued)
