If the previous investigation information is correct, Yuchishun's camp should be there, not to mention that this is the largest of the four or five camps of the Northern Zhou army along the Tanxi River.
The general waved his hand, and the soldiers under his command followed cautiously. Their figures were covered by the desolate grass, but their steps did not stop at all.
The hill is not that big. For these soldiers, most of whom have experienced several battles, although they climb carefully, it is only a short distance.
Several soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were on sentry duty on the hillside were chatting together. This place is located on the east bank of Tanxi River. Of course, they would not think that the enemy would appear at this time. Even if they did appear, they should be in front of Tanxi River, not here.
The hills facing Xiangyang.
The purpose of arranging sentries on this hillside is to be able to see the situation inside and outside the camp at a glance, so that if any accidents occur, they can report it in time. At night, the sight is not good, so the role of these sentries will naturally be of little use.
"Are we really leaving?"
"There hasn't been a single battle on the bank of Tanxi River, so how can we leave just like that?"
"I'm afraid you don't know. The battle over Longzhong on the West Bank was lively the past two days. Unfortunately, they lost miserably. Only half of the five thousand troops came back. Moreover, they wanted to ambush them, but they were counter-ambushed.
.”
"It's no wonder, after losing a battle, and the Xianshan side is almost unable to withstand it, it is reasonable for us to retreat."
"Now let's wait for the order. All the supplies and food in the camp have already left, but the Major General has no intention of leaving. He is still a little unwilling to do so."
"It's no wonder. The young general is also considered a leader among the younger generation in our Da Zhou Dynasty. It's a pity that all he encounters are monsters like this."
Several soldiers talked to each other, talking in low voices while warming themselves over the fire.
The leader of the team, General Bashu, was actually lying only four to five feet away from them. The words just entered his ears, which somewhat surprised him.
Is Yu Chishun planning to run away?
As a general who had followed Li Xingchen to fight in Cangxi Valley, General Zhuang believed that he still knew the character of Yuchishun, a strong enemy. Such a competitive person really lost his fighting spirit because of a defeat.
But no matter what, this matter must be reported to the general first.
As for whether it is true or not... General Zhuang gritted his teeth and looked at the few Northern Zhou soldiers sitting next to the bonfire, and his hand suddenly dropped!
The Bashu soldiers who had been ambushing in the grass for a long time came out silently, two or three serving each, and easily knocked these guys to the ground. They put sharp knives on their necks. They suddenly understood that they were
What should be done is to remain silent one by one and kneel on the ground following the strength of the Bashu soldiers.
And the general walked over quickly and whispered: "Is what you just said true?"
Several soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty obviously didn't know where these guys came from, and they were still in a daze for a while. General Zhuang sneered and waved his hand, and one of the soldiers directly touched the knife in his hand. The blade pierced the skin, and blood suddenly flowed.
Threads came out in wisps, making the Northern Zhou soldier tremble with fear, but he knew that if he shouted out loud now, his life would not be saved.
The few remaining soldiers looked at each other and suddenly became panicked. One of them hurriedly said: "You heroes, every word is true, and every word is true!"
Zhuang Jiang smiled coldly: "Tear off these guys' clothes."
After a pause, he lowered his head and looked at the soldiers: "What are your names?"
——————————————-
The hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the camp. Looking at the scouts who had not even had time to put on their clothes, the guards outside the camp showed a smile, but soon they suppressed their laughter and opened the curtain.
"What kind of body..." Pei Zilie was obviously startled by the hurried footsteps. He looked up and couldn't help scolding, but his words were quickly interrupted.
"Report to General Qi, Yu Chishun wants to run away!"
Pei Zilie put down the military book in his hand and stood up suddenly: "Are you serious about this?"
"We were ordered to cross Tanxi to explore the enemy's troop arrangements. As a result, we captured several Zhou soldiers on the hillside of the Yuchishun camp. According to what they said, the camp had begun to pack up food and supplies and prepare for them.
Retreat." The scout hurriedly replied, "Now General Zhuang has taken people disguised as Zhou people to spy, and my subordinates have been ordered to come back first to report the news."
Pei Zilie nodded slightly, took off his cloak, wrapped it directly around the shivering scout because the water on his body had not been wiped dry, and then shouted loudly: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!"
Because Pei Zilie's camp is on the west bank of Tanxi, and there are enemy camps across Tanxi to the northeast and northwest, just in case, all the soldiers tonight are wearing their armor and are ready to fight. After all, even the Northern Zhou army
If he didn't take the initiative to launch an attack, Pei Zilie would definitely mobilize his troops to build rafts and prepare for a forced crossing tomorrow morning.
The gathering drum sounded in the army, and the originally silent camp began to boil in an instant.
A famous general sat up quickly. The guards had already brought the war horses over. They grabbed their swords and flew on their horses, running towards the main camp.
If you haven't arrived after the three-way drum, the consequences can be imagined.
At the same time, the war leaders and generals who were not qualified to go to the main camp also stood up one after another, urging the soldiers around them to get up. The sudden gathering of generals at this time meant that something big must have happened. General Wu Yi was issuing an order
After the general's order, the army will definitely move out, so people must be called up first.
Chen Zhishen, Zheng Kaiyuan, Li Xun and others reined in their horses in front of the main camp tent and looked at each other, all a little surprised. They didn't hear any movement on the other side of Tanxi River, and since everyone was here, it meant that the news about the enemy's situation must not be from them.
Who among them reported it to the general?
This is a bit strange...
According to the scout arrangement of the army, the scouts sent by Chen Zhishen and Li Xun respectively explored upstream and downstream along Tanxi River. Only the main camp in the middle where Yuchishun was located was left in charge of the scouts from Pei Zilie's Chinese Army.
So you must have discovered something at Yuchishun's main camp?
The third tom drum had already sounded, and several generals filed in without hesitation.
Pei Zilie was already standing in front of the sand table. Before arriving in Tanxi, the craftsmen who accompanied the army had already begun to build the sand table based on the situation of the previous scouts and platoons. Later, after some adjustments and repairs, it was quite accurate.
Seeing Chen Zhishen and others coming in, Pei Zilie stretched out his hand and touched the sand table and said in a deep voice: "I just received the news that Yuchishun is preparing to retreat."
Chen Zhishen and others were all startled, obviously not believing it. With Yu Chishun's character, would he be able to run away?
Pei Zilie then said: "We still need to wait for the scouts to investigate further, but we cannot remain indifferent. How many ships have been prepared now?"
