At this time, if we look at the entire Chu camp, no matter where there are any camps, it is just like a ruins that is still steaming white.
I remember that in the middle of the night, the chaos in the Chu camp had subsided, because the fire in the camp at that time forced the Xiong Hujun and Xiong Tuojun who were fighting each other, including the Chu soldiers under General Lian Bi, to work together to put out the fire.
Otherwise, the sea of fire will kill everyone in this camp.
As a result, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers temporarily put aside their prejudices and hurriedly joined forces to put out the fire. However, after struggling for most of the night, they still could not save the military camp. They only rescued some important supplies such as food and grass in the camp.
Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, didn't care at all about the burning of this camp. After all, when he really decided to temporarily withdraw his troops and wait for the next spring to fight again, this military camp would have been a burden that should be burned.
So now that the fire was burning, Xiong Tuo didn't feel distressed at all. After all, the Chu soldiers in the army had already rescued the food, grass and other baggage.
The only thing he couldn't accept was that the entire Chu camp had been busy all night and even made great sacrifices, but despite this, the Wei army from the Yanshui camp still did not attack them.
In other words, their tactics of luring the enemy completely failed.
"Then little Ji Run...is he blind?!"
Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, with red eyes, kicked over the table in the tent and cursed angrily.
You know, he stayed up all night, waiting for the Wei army to come for a night attack and be ambushed by the Chu army. However, Xiong Tuo never expected that he would wait until dawn from late at night, waiting so hard that he couldn't see anything. Wait until the Wei army comes to attack.
This made their Chu army's tactics of luring the enemy a complete joke: they planned hard and even paid a heavy price for it, but what about the Wei army? They just slept.
The furious Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo kicked over everything that could be kicked over and smashed everything in the tent. After venting his anger for a long time, he finally calmed down out of breath. Come down.
"Huhu"
Xiong Tuo panted heavily and sat on the ground leaning on the kicked-over bed, feeling quite frustrated.
Seeing his appearance, several of the guards in the tent lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads to look at Xiong Tuo.
After a long time, Xiong Tuo let out a long sigh and said in a frustrated tone: "Send an order to the entire army to withdraw the troops after collecting the corpses in the camp."
"yes……"
Several guards clasped their fists and left the tent to convey the order of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
Not long after, the entire Chu camp began to get busy. All the Chu soldiers were looking for things that could still be used in the ruins after the fire, and by the way, they burned and buried the bodies of those who died in the civil strife last night.
It has to be said that last night's incident had a far more serious impact on the Chu army than the Wei camp that was blocked by the Yan River and the death of General Cheyu in battle, because most of the soldiers in the army were shocked by what happened last night. They all feel inexplicable.
Most of the Chu soldiers who stayed out of the incident last night still haven't figured out why Xiong Hu's army fought with Xiong Hu's army. Moreover, it was a real fight with swords and guns, and they can't imagine how the entire camp caught fire.
Without understanding anything, most of the Chu soldiers who were outside were in turmoil and their hearts were in panic.
While the Chu soldiers in the army were packing up, Qu Cheng excused himself to inspect the condition of the soldiers and walked alone on the ruins called the camp, silently looking at the Chu soldiers whose morale had plummeted.
I remember that last night, Qu Cheng prayed wholeheartedly that the Wei army would not be stupid and foolishly conclude that it was an opportunity to take advantage of the fire in the Chu camp, so he led his army to a night attack and was ambushed by Zaifugen.
But now, Wei Jun did not show up, but Qu Cheng could not help but murmur.
He couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out why Zhao Hongrun wanted them, a group of surrendered generals, to find a way to take advantage of the civil strife in the Chu camp to set fire to the entire camp. Wasn't it for a night attack?
If it wasn't to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a night attack, then what was the purpose?
It is undeniable that Qu Cheng is a general who is good at thinking, but even so, at this moment, he can't help but feel a little confused.
At this time, a large wave of Chu soldiers poured in from outside the "camp", estimated to number at least 20,000 to 30,000 people.
Qu Cheng raised his head and took a few glances, and suddenly saw General Zai Fugen among the Chu soldiers.
It turned out that these at least 20,000 to 30,000 Chu soldiers were the ambush troops that Zaifu Gen ambushed in the woods not far from the camp last night.
Seeing this, Qu Cheng hurriedly walked over to pay homage to his father.
"General Zaifu."
"Hmm." Zaifugen had already seen Qu Cheng approaching and saw him taking the initiative to salute him. He nodded and forced a smile: "Wei Jun... didn't come."
Listening to Zai Fugen's words that were full of endless resentment and regret, Qu Cheng was secretly amused, but there was a hint of guilt on his face, and he whispered: "It was Qu who made an oversight. He originally thought that Wei Jun would fall into the trap."
of……"
"This is none of your business." Zaifu Gen patted Qu Cheng's shoulder in good faith. After looking around, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Even if this plan fails, if we can make the young master give up, temporarily
It is not a bad thing to withdraw our troops to wait for the coming year."
Qu Cheng knew that this was the fundamental reason why Zaifu Gen and Lian Bi supported his strategy, so he nodded.
"By the way, what's the damage in the camp?" Zai Fugen asked.
Qu Cheng shrugged and pretended to be helpless and said: "After a whole night's work, almost ten thousand troops were lost, and the camp was even more... The general also saw it, and it was all destroyed, but some of the food, grass and other supplies in the camp were all destroyed.
Rescued."
"Well, in this case, the nearly ten thousand soldiers were lost." Zaifu Gen nodded knowingly.
In fact, his thoughts were similar to those of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo. It was of no importance to abandon a camp that he was planning to abandon. As for the nearly 10,000 soldiers who died in last night's accident, Zai Fugen didn't care much either.
After all, there are still three months until next spring. Three months is enough time for the news to reach the territory of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, allowing the generals and officials in the territory to form an army of tens of thousands.
They are so big that they have a lot of people!
"By the way, did the young master say anything?"
After walking a few steps toward the commander's tent with Qu Cheng, Zaifu Gen suddenly asked.
Qu Cheng understood and said with some hesitation: "Lord Xiong Tuo has ordered the entire army to withdraw. However, according to the personal guards who came to deliver the order, Lord Xiong Tuo got furious in the tent and broke many things. General, please pay more attention."
"Hmm." Zaifu Gen nodded.
In fact, he also knew that Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo had a bad temper. But he had no choice. Since he had led his army back to the army, he should return his orders to Xiong Tuo, no matter whether Xiong Tuo would curse him in anger or not.
After that, Zaifu Gen went straight to the commander's tent to resume his duties, while Qu Cheng was minding his own business, looking at the 20,000 to 30,000 Zaifu troops who had been ambushing outside the forest last night.
I have to say that it is really a very traumatic thing to lie in wait in the wilderness for a whole night in the cold weather.
What's even more terrible is that they laid in wait all night without any harvest, which made the many Zaifu soldiers generally have low morale at this moment. They sat around in groups and silently ate hard and dry steamed buns. Not many people were in the mood to talk.
Looking closely at these Chu soldiers, I saw that each one of them was blown by the cold wind at night and turned pale, with almost no blood. Some soldiers were even trembling unconsciously.
Seeing this, Qu Cheng couldn't help but fantasize: If a Wei army suddenly attacked at this moment, I'm afraid the Chu army would have little power to resist.
But unfortunately, the Wei army did not attack suddenly as he expected.
It didn't take long for the entire Chu army to abandon the "camp" that had become a ruined place. The army set off and slowly withdrew towards the west.
Considering the length of the military line, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, gave up Xihua County in the east and planned to disperse and station the more than 60,000 troops under his command in the three counties of Linying, Zhaoling and Xiping. The reason why The reason for abandoning Xihua County is that Xihua County is to the east of the Wei camp at Yanshui River and is far away from the Shangshui River occupied by the Chu army. It is like an isolated city, which is not conducive to the defense of the Chu army.
While it was still dark, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, who was full of anger, led more than 60,000 Chu soldiers to Mu Mountain on the west side.
After all, he is not a fool. He naturally understands that the Chu soldiers under his command who have been struggling all night are no match for the Wei army. In order to prevent the Wei army from coming to pursue after learning of the situation, he issued the order before it was dark. The army quickly retreated westward.
Waiting to bypass the Mu Mountain on the west side, his current 60,000-strong army was divided into three. Lian Bi led an army to garrison in Linying, and Zaifugen led another army to garrison in Zhaoling. , and he himself led the remaining troops to station in Xiping, temporarily avoiding the war and having a good rest.
Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo is indeed a little tired.
Thinking back to the time when he and Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu led an army of 160,000 to invade Wei State, destroying the city and occupying an area as powerful as a bamboo, it was so majestic. But in just two months, the army of 160,000 under his command was defeated. There were only 60,000 people left. In the past, Lord Pingyu Xiong Hu was captured, and in the later general Zi Cheyu died in battle.
Xiong Tuo felt that as soon as Ji Run, the Su King of Wei State, arrived in Yanling, his campaign to conquer Wei State began to become unfavorable, with all kinds of difficulties happening.
And when he thought of the Su Wang Ji Run of the Wei Kingdom, Xiong Tuo felt angry.
Such a guy who acted irrationally made him feel very tired. He still hadn't figured out the reason why Zhao Hongrun let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime night attack opportunity.
That is a God-given opportunity that there is no reason to let go!
Xiong Tuo sat astride his horse, stretched out his hand to rub his sore eyebrows, and looked up at the hill named Mu Mountain in the distance.
For some reason, he found the hill more and more distasteful to his eyes.
It is very likely that after turning around the hill, his army will be divided into three and stationed in various cities.
This also means that this year's war with Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo will come to an end for the time being.
He was defeated by the young Prince Su of Wei State.
Forget it, let's wait until next spring to settle the score with that Ji Run kid!
Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, thought viciously.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened, and countless arrows were shot from the Mu Mountain, causing heavy casualties to the unsuspecting Chu soldiers.
"kill!"
The flag of the Junshui Army was flying high on the top of the mountain. A group of well-equipped Wei soldiers who were lying in ambush in the mountains and forests came out and caught the Chu army by surprise.
What? The Wei army actually set up an ambush here?!
Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, was stunned. He never expected that Zhao Hongrun did not attack his Chu army camp at night, but actually chose to set an ambush on his only way to withdraw.
And judging by the strength of this force, the Wei army seems to be moving in full force! (To be continued.)
