But at this moment, a ray of moonlight was shining among the grass. Looking at the Bashu army armor on these people, Zeng Xian felt that the last bit of strength had been drained away, and he casually dropped the knife: "One of our own!"
"Okay, we know it without you having to tell us," the leader of Bashu Zhuangjiang laughed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "It's really hard to find you."
Seeing Zeng Xian's surprised expression, General Zhuang hurriedly explained: "Several of your brothers managed to escape successfully, but you were the only one who did not go back. General Wu Yi judged that you must have discovered something or something happened, so he asked us to report directly to him.
I will go ahead to explore and try to find you."
Only then did Zeng Xian realize that his back was soaked with sweat, and he was in a daze. He didn't even know how he came back alive.
Following these scouts back the way they came, Zeng Xian quickly saw the person he wanted to see.
Pei Zilie and Chen Zhishen were discussing in a low voice. When they saw Zeng Xian coming over, the two people immediately looked over, and Zeng Xian immediately raised his hand:
"General, the enemy's ambush is in a ravine about half a mile north of here. It is very close to the camp and is completely in darkness. If we enter the camp rashly, we will be attacked from behind."
Pei Zilie immediately reached out and tapped on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Here."
"We will outflank them from the left and right sides." Chen Zhishen said with a smile, "The general will ask himself to be used as bait to lure the enemy's ambush troops to show up."
However, Li Xun stepped forward and interrupted Chen Zhishen: "General Chen should be the main attacker. The soldiers under his command are all agile people, so they are more suitable as bait."
Chen Zhishen wanted to say something more, but Pei Zilie waved his hand: "Li Xun led his troops to act as bait, while Chen Zhishen and Zheng Kaiyuan attacked from the left and right wings respectively."
This time Chen Zhishen did not refute again. He could feel the dissatisfaction in Pei Zilie's voice. It was obvious that Pei Zilie was dissatisfied with Chen Zhishen for rushing to the front again and again. Commanders should be happy to see generals fighting first, but sometimes
Chen Zhishen was too self-righteous in fighting. Chen Zhishen was completely leading Pei Zilie on how to fight and whether he should fight. Obviously, Pei Zilie did not want to continue to see this situation.
After all, this is a battle led by Pei Zilie. If everything goes according to Chen Zhishen's arrangement, then what is the meaning of Pei Zilie's existence, and Li Xun, Zheng Kaiyuan and others will not be able to establish meritorious deeds because Chen Zhishen has always been ahead.
.
This is obviously not a good thing for the balanced development of an army. When problems arise in the distribution of military merit, conflicts will definitely arise.
Chen Zhishen immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Naturally, the other two people did the same and took orders one after another.
——————————————
Yuchi Shun was lying in the ravine. The camp was not far away and could be clearly seen in the ravine. The soldiers and horses in the camp had almost retreated, and the last few hundred people left were mainly to lure the enemy.
.
Otherwise, there will be no one in the camp, and everyone will know that there is a scam.
"General Qi, the enemy is coming." A scout quickly jumped out of the grass and slid into the ravine. "The number is around three thousand."
Several generals looked at each other and were a little surprised. Pei Zilie had more than that number of men. Yu Chishun frowned and said, "Didn't you notice the movements of the others?"
"There is another group of troops, quite large in number, but they are chasing our troops upstream," the scout said hurriedly.
Yuchishun was a little surprised and didn't know how to judge for a while. But a general whispered: "Since the enemy is so confident and bold in dividing their troops, it means that they probably only found out through scouts that we have withdrawn our troops, so they know that there should be no troops in the camp.
How many soldiers were left behind, otherwise they would not have separated to pursue us at this juncture."
Another general also whispered: "Major General, let's prepare to take action. We only have five or six hundred people in the ambush here, plus the three thousand people in the rear. It should be enough to eat these three thousand people in one go. If
If there are more enemies, we may be the ones who have trouble escaping in the end."
"Yes, this is a good opportunity." The other generals also agreed.
Yuchishun looked ahead silently. To be honest, he felt a little unwilling. Yuchishun still remembered the failure in the previous battle on the west bank of Tanxi River. If he didn't want to avenge this, he would not be Yuchishun.
However, as these generals said, the gap in strength is indeed there. If these ambushes combined can eat up the enemy team, it will be considered good.
After all, the Xianshan side was almost undefendable. Tanxi finally played a role in holding back the enemy, which was already unexpected. If it could kill the enemy's 3,000 soldiers and horses, it would be considered a great achievement.
It is beneficial and harmless to Xiangyang's defense.
While Yu Chishun was chatting quietly with the other generals, the group of Bashu soldiers and horses had already reached the edge of the camp.
"Lu Qing, lead your men and rush in. Remember to seize several sentry towers along the camp wall immediately after entering the camp. We must control the high ground in our hands." Li Xun whispered, "Attack!"
Torches suddenly lit up one after another, and the crossbowmen aimed at the wall of the camp and pulled the triggers. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the wall fell down in response.
"Kill!" Lu Qing picked up his sword and took the lead, with the soldiers of the brigade following him closely.
Looking at the charging queue, Li Xun was in a daze for a moment. The Northern Zhou soldiers in the camp were doing it for a show, and the attacking Bashu soldiers were also doing it for a show. It was funny no matter how you thought about it. But Lu Qing and others in front had easily broken through the camp and killed them.
Got in.
In fact, the gate of the camp was completely ajar, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the camp just shot a few arrows and started to retreat, with no intention of entangled with Lu Qing.
"Press up and seize the general's platform!" Lu Qing yelled.
A group of soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not know whether they did it deliberately or in a panic. They rushed over from the middle of the two camps, trying to cut off the enemy's team.
"Expand!" The knife in Lu Qing's hand directly hit the leader of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Zhuang and chopped off his head, while a famous soldier behind him followed the leader and Zhuang general to expand to both sides. There were not many Northern Zhou soldiers along the wall.
Guard, so these Bashu soldiers killed them, and these Northern Zhou soldiers had no chance to resist.
Before Lu Qing could rush to the commander's platform, he heard a trumpet sound coming from the north and east of the village. In the darkness, no one knew how many Northern Zhou troops roared and rushed into the camp. One after another, torches were accurately thrown into the camp.
In the prepared tent.
Most of the tents had been dismantled during the transportation of grain and grass. The remaining tents were filled with firewood and other flammable materials. As soon as the torch was thrown in, the fire suddenly ignited, and several fire piles and braziers also
After being kicked over deliberately, the fire instantly engulfed half of the camp.
