Cai Xide endured the severe pain, took a deep breath, opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted:

"Strictly defend the Chinese army, counterattack at dawn!"

In the dark of night, when the enemy's situation was unknown, Cai Xide immediately decided that it was his carelessness and recklessness that allowed Tang Jun to take advantage of it, and as long as he stabilized his position and waited for dawn, he could deal with it calmly.

After shouting, he realized that he was in the field at this time, so he asked the people around him:

"What are the casualties of our army, and where is the main force of the Tang army now?"

An entourage was surprised and delighted, and choked up: "The general is awake, the general is awake, but the brothers are scared to death......"

Cai Xide cried with joy impatiently with his entourage, and urged him to report the military situation quickly.

"Please rest assured, the Tang army has not caught up, and they will not fight with us if they get cheap!" Speaking of this, the entourage was a little indignant, "Tang." The army is all cowardly cowards, if we talk about combat strength, ten of them may not be able to beat one of our Yan army!"

The wound in his chest was tugging at Cai Xide, making him feel so painful that he had no time to reprimand his people for their stupidity.

Soldiers have always been known for their tricks, and Qin Jin's erection is precisely because he knows the key to the art of war to win by surprise, so that he has suffered such a big loss because he thinks very highly of himself, and even his life is almost confessed on the spot.

Cai Xide, who was lying on horseback, secretly swore that from now on, unless he was forced to do so, he would never go into battle lightly and risk his life again.

The Tang army did not chase after them, and it was difficult to count the number of losses in the dark, so they could only gallop towards the camp in a swarm of horses. After arriving at the camp, Cai Xide immediately counted the losses, and his face was ugly as if he had eaten.

Of the thousands of cavalry, only three or four out of ten returned, and the rest were all unknown. What is even more hateful is the loss of war horses, many of which were not injured, but only scattered and fled after being frightened.

When he was angry, Cai Xide's breathing couldn't help but increase, and he immediately pulled the wound on his chest again, and he grinned in pain. Covering the wound, Cai Xide was stunned, speculating that he broke his ribs when he fell from the horse, this kind of injury cannot be recuperated without three or five months, but now is the critical moment to make contributions, how can he withdraw from the battlefield and go back to recuperate?

"Where's Huang Changde, catch that waste and come to me!"

Huang Changde is the deputy general in charge of besieging the east gate, if he hadn't been careless in the first place and was attacked and broke through the camp, how could there be an ambush by the Yan army?

However, although Cai Xide intends to use Huang Changde as a scapegoat, he also knows in his heart that the attack on the Yan army camp is by no means justified by the enemy, and before executing this idiot, he will personally interrogate him to find out the specific inside story.

The entourage was ordered out of the military tent, Cai Xide waited left and right without moving, and just when he was about to lose patience, several entourages came back with a depressed face.

"General, Vice General Huang didn't come back, he should have died in battle!"

He's dead?

Cai Xide was faintly disappointed, this fight was too cheap, and it was good to let him die to warn the generals.

Ignoring Huang Changde, the most important thing for him now is to gather the Huang army and re-encircle the east gate of Jiangxian County, so he does not believe that the Tang army has the ability to kill tens of thousands of people in a hurry. After making up his mind, Cai Xide reassigned a lieutenant general to be responsible for reining the rout, and after properly explaining all the countermeasures, he finally let out a long breath and tried to turn over and change into a comfortable position, but the thought of the pain of the wound immediately dispelled this idea.

"The rebuilt siege engines have been pushed out of the col, ready to attack the city at any time!"

The unexpected situation of this night really seemed like a dream to Cai Xide, although Tang Jun withdrew in the end, he still had a feeling of losing control of the situation. At present, dozens of newly built large equipment are placed outside the gate to deter the Tang army defending the city in terms of momentum.

"Good news...... Good news!"

The sound of good news came in from outside the military tent, Cai Xide was inexplicable, at this time, what other good news could there be?

……

In Jiangxian County, all the generals gathered around Qin Jin, and they all did not hide the excitement on their faces, last night's sneak attack battle was far beyond expectations.

"Hey, I really can't imagine that the rebels are all silver-like pewter spearheads, and they will break with a light poke, if it weren't for the strict order of Jun to retreat, we would even beat down his Chinese army in one go!"

An adjutant general spoke with words in his mouth, his eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and his spit flew sideways.

"Cong Wulang shut up, what nonsense is he talking in front of you?"

Pei Jing hurriedly stopped his subordinates from opening their mouths, he knew that Qin Jin's urgent order to withdraw his troops was definitely not cowardly, there must be another reason.

This Cong Wu is famous Huaiyi, the fifth in the family, and everyone in the army calls him Cong Wulang, but he is also from the old Shenwu Army, but his background is not a big family, he is an authentic son of a poor family.

Perhaps realizing his gaffe, Cong Huaiyi honestly closed his mouth and stood where he was without speaking. He is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he does not dare to make more mistakes in front of Qin Jin.

"Envoy, there was another harvest in the first battle last night, after screening, he captured Huang Changde, the deputy general of the Yan army, this person knows the inside of the Yan army, and it is better than destroying the enemy's battalion!"

Pei Jing's face didn't show much joy, and while reporting to Qin Jin, it was as if these credits had nothing to do with him.

Hearing that he had captured a deputy general in the Yan army, Qin Jin was overjoyed, this was the highest-ranking rebel general he had caught since the soldiers entered Hedong, in addition to knowing the reality of the Yan army, it could also hit Cai Xide's military heart.

But after thinking about it, he instructed again: "This matter must be kept strictly confidential, and not a word can be mentioned to the outside world!"

Pei Jing comprehended that after a long run-in, he had been able to easily comprehend Qin Jin's intentions.

As long as Huang Changde is not announced to the public, it will not arouse Cai Xide's excessive vigilance, and if he still conducts a siege according to the plan, as long as useful information is knocked out of Huang Changde's mouth, he can surprise Cai Xide and deal a heavy blow again.

"Envoy, the former army Wang Qi has sent someone to reply to the letter, and today he will take the opportunity to raid the valley and mountain col and burn the siege equipment secretly built by Cai Xide. ”

Qin Jin nodded, this was something he had already arranged, as long as Wang Ji succeeded in burning the siege equipment built by Cai Xide, he could calmly proceed with the next plan.

After a brief exchange with the generals, Qin Jin and Pei Jing went to the place where Huang Dechang was imprisoned. Out of prudence, Pei Jing did not put him under centralized custody with ordinary soldiers, but imprisoned him in the office room.

After a thorough combing, all the officials in the original county court have been completely abandoned in the office, and all the people are transferred from Hedong County and Feng Yi County, so they are safe and reliable.

The door opened, and a short and fat man immediately stood up from his seat, bowed solemnly, and Qin Jin saw that he was naked, and dark red blood was faintly oozing from the bandaged linen cloth in many places. However, Huang Dechang focused all his attention on Pei Jing, perhaps in his eyes, Qin Jin, a young man of Pei Jing's age, was just an ordinary military general.

"Huang Dechang! Qin envoy Jun is here, why don't you worship?"

Pei Jing shouted loudly!

"Qin, Qin Envoy?"

Huang Dechang looked at Pei Jing in disbelief, then at Qin Jin behind him, and his body involuntarily knelt down.

"The last general Huang Dechang visited the envoy and is willing to die for the envoy!"

Qin Jin only glanced at him and did not say anything. Pei Jing said again: "Yesterday you were still a general under Cai Xide's account, and today you are going to die for Qin Envoy, how can people believe it?"

Huang Dechang heard Pei Jing's rhetorical question, his heart was overjoyed, he raised his head, and knelt a few steps forward.

"The last general knows General Cai, no, it's Cai Thief, Cai Thief's arrangement, I am willing to inform the envoy of everything, with sincerity!"

Qin Jin was not surprised at all by Huang Dechang's undignified performance, the Hu people did not have the kind of monarch and minister fetters of the Han people, and who they belonged to completely depended on the strength of the other party and their own needs. Although this Huang Dechang took the name of a Han person, he only had a name like a Han person, both from the outside and from the inside, he was an authentic Turk.

"Tell me, what are Cai Xide's plans?"

Qin Jin said unhurriedly, and then took a few steps in front of Huang Dechang to get closer.

Cai Xide has mobilized 50,000 people from Zezhou and other places and is rushing over the high mountains to Jiangxian County, and as soon as reinforcements arrive, they will attack the city in a big way, and when the time comes, the time will ......."

Speaking of this, Huang Dechang wanted to speak and stopped, obviously the next words, he was afraid of angering Qin Jin and Pei Jing, so he didn't dare to say it easily.

Even if he didn't say it, Qin Jin knew that as long as the 50,000 people dispatched by Cai Xide arrived, Jiangxian County would no longer have the possibility of holding it under the good tactics of the people.

Although his face was silent, he still turned the river and the sea in his heart, he thought that Cai Xide's reinforcements came from Hebei Province, so the Shenwu Army still had ten days of preparation time, if the reinforcements came from Zezhou and other places, wouldn't he only have three or two days of effort?

"When will Cai Xide transfer troops, and which day will he arrive in Jiangxian County?"

"Reply to the envoy, according to the plan, the reinforcements will come the day after tomorrow!

Qin Jin nodded lightly, and then asked slowly, "How much grain and grass is left in Cai Xide's army?"

"The grain and grass can still be used for seven days, and the day after tomorrow, there will be military food and forage for the reinforcements to be transported for ten days, and according to the analysis of the last general, Cai Thief's army will not be short of food in a short period of time! It is better to sneak attack and burn his granary......

Pei Jing, who had not spoken, stopped Huang Changde's flattery.

"If you ask you, you will answer, and the rest of the nonsense will be avoided!"

Huang Changde hurriedly apologized, saying that he knew he was wrong.

Qin Jin glanced at Pei Jing, and said in his heart that he didn't know what means to use, but he actually obeyed the obviously unruly general in front of him.

"Cut off Cai thief's grain road, this suggestion is good, but it's not a fire!"
