Shangguan Yuanrang is warlike and is the commander-in-chief. If he doesn't agree to withdraw, there is nothing anyone can do.
Peng Haochu found Shangguan Yuanrang and said, "General Yuanrang, your Excellency has ordered the withdrawal of our troops. If our troops do not withdraw, they will be disobeying the order and will be severely punished."
Shangguan Yuanrang sneered, waved his hand and said: "Don't pressure me with military regulations and laws. Although I don't understand much, I have also heard that generals will not accept military orders abroad. Now that I am the commander-in-chief, I naturally have to make decisions based on the actual situation.
judge."
Peng Haochu was almost angry. What judgment should he make now? The local army of 200,000 has surrendered. Our task of blocking enemy reinforcements has been completed. If we don't go back and give orders to return, we insist on staying here. It's meaningless.
. He knew that Shangguan Yuan was willing to fight and stay because he wanted to fight Zhong Wen's army. But now that his own people are small and the enemy's army is large, and the Central Army is the most powerful, it would be difficult for his own side to really fight.
He couldn't take advantage. But he didn't dare to say this. With Guan Yuan Rang's character, the more he said that the enemy was powerful, the more he had to stay and try. Rolling his eyes, he asked: "Then General Yuan Rang is ready to wait until
When? Our army does not have much food and grass. If we wait any longer, there will be no food for the army!"
"Oh..." Hearing that the army was about to run out of food, Shangguan Yuanrang thought for a while and said: "If the enemy troops haven't appeared early tomorrow morning, then we will retreat!"
Peng Hao breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Shangguan Yuanrang would regret it, so he hurriedly responded: "Okay! It's a deal!"
Shangguan Yuanrang sighed, stood on a raised rock, looked in the direction of Jinguang County, and muttered plausibly: "What kind of marching speed is Zhong Wen? Even if he crawls, he should have climbed by now."
Peng Haochu smiled bitterly. There were only 60,000 of them now, but Zhong Wen and his group were 150,000 of the Central Army. It was too late for the people to avoid the war. Only Shangguan Yuanrang was waiting eagerly, full of expectations.
I thought that after this night, I would be able to return to the army camp early tomorrow morning, but what I didn't expect was that Zhong Wen's army, which had never appeared, arrived at the junction of the two counties that night.
It was almost evening, and Shangguan Yuanrang, Peng Haochu and their soldiers were having a meal. At this time, a spy with a celestial eye quickly ran over, knelt down in front of everyone, saluted, and said urgently: "General Shangguan, General Peng, Zhong
Wen's army is close to the border and has set up camp ten miles away from here."
"Oh?" After hearing this, Shangguan Yuanrang suddenly became energetic. He threw away the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, stood up and asked excitedly: "Is this true?"
The Sky Eye Detective was stunned for a moment, and then said urgently: "This is a major military matter, and I don't dare to lie about it!"
Shangguan Yuanrang nodded and smiled at Peng Haochu: "God helps me! General Peng, at midnight tonight, we will rob Zhong Wen's camp. What do you think?"
Peng Haochu shook his head like a rattle and waved his hands quickly: "No! General Yuan Rang, if we are in an ambush location, we suddenly launch a sneak attack and catch the enemy by surprise. However, if we take the initiative to fight, our army will be at a numerical disadvantage.
It's too big and it's really difficult to win. I hope General Yuan Rang won't act hastily."
Shangguan Yuan gave Peng Haochu a blank look and thought to himself: Why shouldn't you act hastily? It's true that you are timid and afraid of getting into trouble! He snorted and said, "If General Peng is afraid, I will lead his men to rob him tonight."
The camp is ready."
Instead of feeling at ease, Peng Haochu repeatedly blocked Shangguan Yuanrang and persuaded him not to go. Finally, Shangguan Yuanrang was annoyed by his nagging. He glared and shouted: "I will only take three thousand brothers with me tonight.
Just let General Peng lead the troops to respond, and don’t say any more, this is my order!”
Seeing that Shangguan Yuanrang was already angry, Peng Haochu swallowed his foam and stopped talking. Shangguan Yuanrang went to rob the camp, and he only brought three thousand people there. How could he stay? Regardless of his life or death, if he had
Not to mention that I feel sorry for it, I can't even explain it to the adults.
However, he had no intention of going with Shangguan Yuan Rang, but wanted to go quietly afterwards. Since Shangguan Yuan Rang was belligerent and arrogant, it would be better to let him learn a lesson first.
Shangguan Yuanrang stayed behind with the spy who came to report the news and asked him to lead the way. When the third watch in the evening arrived, Shangguan immediately gathered the 3,000 elite soldiers he selected, took the spies, and left his ambush location.
Head to the military camp where Zhongwen is stationed.
Zhong Wen is the second son of Zhong Tian. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he did not want to concentrate his forces to defeat the enemy. However, because of his greed for life and fear of death, he divided the thirty-five-year-old army into two parts and let the local army of two hundred thousand take the lead, causing the local army to take the lead.
The army defected before the battle. In the eyes of Tang Yin and his generals, Zhong Wen was a fatuous and incompetent young man. He became the commander-in-chief of the army because of his father's power.
Of course Shangguan Yuanrang also had this idea, and did not take Zhong Wen and his army seriously at all.
Soon, Shangguan Yuanrang led his troops to approach the camp where Zhong Wen was stationed, and hid in the nearby forest. Then he climbed up an old tree and raised his eyes to watch.
This camp is very large, built against the mountain, and is in a semicircular shape. There is a wooden fence around the perimeter. At regular intervals, tall watchtowers are built in the fence for warning purposes. On the fence
There is also a circle of oblique cross-shaped anti-horses erected outside, which can block the impact of cavalry.
Just looking at its size, it is hard to imagine that this camp was built temporarily.
Shangguan Yuanrang didn't understand the art of setting up a camp, and he couldn't tell whether Zhong Wen's camp was good or bad. However, he could see that the other party neglected to take precautions. There were no patrolling soldiers outside the huge camp, and there were no patrols in the fence.
Most of the watchtowers were empty, and no one was stationed at all. Only a few soldiers standing guard could be seen sparsely at the camp's camp gate.
After reading it, Shangguan Yuanrang secretly laughed. He thought that Zhong Wen had never expected that someone would come to attack his camp on his own territory. The timing tonight was just the right one. He could obviously get there if he came with him.
It was a great achievement, but it was a pity that Peng Haochu was too timid. You can't blame yourself for not supporting him.
Thinking of this, the smile on Shangguan Yuanrang's face deepened, he jumped down from the old tree, looked at the three thousand soldiers around him, and said in a low voice: "The enemy camp's precautions are lax. When my brothers follow me to rob the camp, just follow me to the camp."
Charge forward and kill whoever you see, don't worry about anything else, do you understand?"
These soldiers had heard of Shangguan Yuanrang's bravery, but had never seen it. At this time, they had no fear in their hearts, and they all nodded and said: "Yes! General Shangguan!"
When it was half past the fourth watch, Shangguan Yuanrang took off his three-pointed two-edged sword from his horse. Without riding a horse, he led his three thousand soldiers on foot and slowly sneaked towards the camp gate of Zhongwen's camp.
The defense of the camp was indeed very lax. There were so many troops stationed here, and there were not even hidden sentries posted outside. Shangguan Yuan made the advance of the group go extremely smoothly, and they soon approached the camp gate.
Several soldiers on guard were holding spears and sitting on the ground leaning against the pillars of the camp gate, their heads drooping downwards, and they were dozing off.
Shangguan Yuanrang smiled, observed for a while, and confirmed that there were indeed no sentries around. He stood up from the grass and walked directly to the camp gate.
When the soldiers behind him saw this, they straightened their bodies and followed Shangguan Yuanrang out of the vast grassland.
No matter how careful the three thousand soldiers were, they would still make slight noises when walking. Soon, several sentries outside the camp heard the noise and woke up from their sleep. But as soon as they raised their heads, they were already in front of them.
Shangguan Yuanrang swung the knife in his hand fiercely, and long spiritual waves shot out.
The sentries didn't even see clearly what was going on, and before they even had time to scream, they were all cut off by the spiritual waves cast by Shangguan Yuanrang.
His cultivation level was too high, and his spiritual wave was too sharp. He cut off several soldiers at once, but his spiritual wave was not weakened in any way, and his power was not reduced. He hit the pillar of the camp gate again, and with a clear clicking sound, that
The big pillar that no one could hold was broken.
Boom!
The thick wooden pillar fell to the ground, making a dull sound, which also kicked off Shangguan Yuanrang's charge.
He pointed the knife forward, turned his head and shouted: "Brothers, charge with me!"
Wow - Shangguan Yuanrang and the three thousand soldiers under his command rushed into Zhong Wen's camp like a swarm.
Entering it, everyone followed Shangguan Yuanrang and charged towards the military tent located in the center of the camp at full speed. The momentum was so fierce and the speed was so fast that it was like entering an uninhabited land.
In fact, no one came out to stop them. The huge camp was empty, not even a shadow of an enemy soldier was seen, and the entire camp was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Shangguan Yuanrang led his men to charge for another period, but still did not see an enemy. At this time, he had begun to notice that something was wrong. The noise on his side was so loud, even if the enemy soldiers were asleep and dead, they should have heard it. Why didn't they?
Did you see people coming out of the barracks?
Thinking of this, he felt something in his heart. No wonder the other party had expected that he would come to steal the camp and laid an ambush in advance?
He shook his head again. Zhong Wen was not a god. How could he be sure that he was going to steal the camp? Then he thought, no matter what, what if there was an ambush? He would still kill him without leaving a trace! Think about it.
, he quickened his pace again and continued to rush towards the Zhongjun tent.
Soon, the Chinese military tent was visible in the distance, but at this moment, drums were heard all around, people shouted and horses neighed, and then, countless soldiers and generals wearing red helmets and red armor poured out from behind the Chinese military tent.
, after this group of people came out, they formed a square formation, with the halberdiers in front and the spearmen in the back. Looking back, they were all archers. Not counting, on both sides of Shangguan Yuanrang, three people behind him
More than 30,000 enemy soldiers emerged from each direction, with lamps, ball torches, and bright pitch pines, illuminating the camp as bright as day.
"Ah——" The faces of Tianyuan's soldiers all changed drastically at this time, and the two captains who were close to Shangguan Yuanrang shouted in unison: "No, General Shangguan, we have fallen into a trap!"
