Chapter 538: The rebels mutinied

Sleeping until the middle of the night, Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan was suddenly awakened by the sound of gongs, and after realizing that this was not a dream, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info according to the convention, as long as the gong sounds along the street, it is a warning to the people in the city not to go out, and the private people are assembled on standby. Over the past two months, he has experienced this at night more than once.

However, there is no heart-stopping sound of gongs tonight. The rebels outside the city have reached the point of cannibalism, what madness can't be done?

"The head of the family, the Imperial Doctor sent someone to invite. ”

Cui Guangyuan was a little in a hurry, since Qin Jin had already sent someone to invite him, it meant that it was indeed a big deal.

On the side, the maids had already begun to dress and tie Cui Guangyuan, but he was too slow, so he turned around and sent them away.

"Prepare the horses, prepare the horses!"

Cui Guangyuan shouted urgently, and the servants in the house also brought the war horses in a hurry.

"The head of the house beware, this ...... of blind fire in the black light"

"It's a lot of noise!"

After a scolding, Cui Guangyuan flew on the horse and followed Qin Jin's personal entourage straight to Anhuamen.

When he arrived at Anhua, Cui Guangyuan found that he was not the only one who was called, and several defense-related officials also gathered under the city.

"Da Yin!"

Cui Guangyuan looked around for a while, but when he didn't see Qin Jin, he asked anxiously:

"Where's the Imperial Doctor, urgently summoning me to wait, yes, what's going on?"

One of the tall and lanky officers came early, learned something, and replied:

"I heard that there was a change in the rebel camp, and I saw the fire from a distance, and the big guys were going crazy, and it was the camp that made a noise!"

This incident happens from time to time in the army, in wartime, non-wartime, rebels, **, it is not uncommon. However, at this sensitive moment, the reason for the roar in the rebel camp is not necessarily so simple.

"Why don't you go up to the city, what are you doing huddled down there?"

"The doctor said that he was afraid that it was a trick of the rebels, so he suddenly attacked the city, and let the subordinates under the city also for the sake of safety. ”

This is true, Qin and Jin did have a rule in the army, once there was an attack on the city, the officials in the city were not on duty, and they were not allowed to go to the city to watch the battle without an order, and those who violated military law were involved.

Cui Guangyuan understood that he was also among them, so he rubbed his hands a little anxiously.

The soldier who led him to come said in a low voice: "The doctor has an order, and Da Yin can go to the city after arriving in Anhua." ”

Cui Guangyuan was impatient to climb the city wall along the road. After going to the city, he saw Qin Jin dressed in armor, standing on the side of the female wall, staring motionlessly into the distance outside the city. Unlike in the past, it was no longer completely dark in the distance, and there seemed to be countless points of light flowing in the night, and gradually spreading out.

"The rebel battalion is roaring, why don't the doctors take this opportunity to attack inside and outside?"

Cui Guangyuan felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and under the itching of his heart, he rashly suggested that he send troops.

In fact, Qin Jin recruited Cui Guangyuan and other officials in charge of the house in order to prepare for the troops, but before that, he had to continue to observe, one to let the rebels fight and consume internally, and the other to wait and see the situation clearly.

Therefore, Qin Jin ignored Cui Guangyuan's suggestion, and after knowing that this person was not familiar with military affairs, he didn't bother to argue with him in military affairs.

"Da Yin, forgive Guo for saying bluntly, at this time, the situation outside is unclear, and he rashly dispatched troops, how to deal with it if he falls into an ambush?"

Guo Ziyi has always been inseparable from Qin Jin, and she is very dismissive of Cui Guangyuan's reckless words.

Stunned by the rhetorical question, Cui Guangyuan smiled a little embarrassed.

Cui Mou is just a talk, a talk, and in the end, the doctor has to decide. ”

The generals and officials in the city stopped talking, and only quietly watched as the flow of firelight outside the city gradually expanded and expanded.

Qin Jin had been watching on the city wall for half an hour, and the initial firelight was only a little bit, but soon there was a momentum of stars burning the plains, and it can be imagined how fast the Yingxiao mutiny spread. However, he was still not sure whether this was a lure by the rebels, and if he could not hold his breath, he rashly sent troops and was ambushed, so he endured it for many days in vain.

After struggling in his heart for a while, Qin Jin forcibly suppressed the idea of sending troops immediately, but he didn't intend to watch the changes in the enemy camp.

"Where is Wu Hu Huaizhong?"

"The last general!"

"I order you to lead a thousand cavalry to investigate the enemy, but you can move. ”

The unity soldiers and the private people have never had the experience of field warfare, and when they fight at night, it is likely that they can't even figure out the north, and the Wuhu Huaizhong department is the elite of the Tongluo department, and night attacks are their strength.

Wu Hu Huaizhong agreed with indignation, strode down the city, and after a while, the Anhua Gate opened, and a thousand cavalry rushed out.

On the city wall, Qin Jin could only hear the noisy sound of horses' hooves gradually moving away, and his eyes were wide but he couldn't see clearly, where Wuhu Huaizhong's cavalry was galloping.

Under Qin Jin's gaze in the dark, Wuhu Huaizhong led his cavalry to advance straight to the southeast. The reason why he did not drive straight to the fire due south was because the rebels had dug several trenches in the front direction of the barracks wall, and even the wall had been built in two layers. Therefore, advancing head-on from the direction of Chang'an, I am afraid that even the first few trenches will be difficult to cross.

Although Wu Hu Huaizhong's subordinates were Qin Jin's personal followers, they would not easily fight, but it did not mean that the troops were completely shelved, and in more than two months, they had done hundreds of reconnaissance and testing in various parts of the rebel camp, and it could be said that they had a clear understanding of the terrain within a radius of dozens of miles outside the city.

The camp built by the rebels did not form a siege of Chang'an, and the city wall with a circumference of seventy miles was retreated three or five miles, and if you wanted to besiege the camp around the city, you would have to have a scale of hundreds of miles. This kind of siege, even if Sun Xiaozhe has 200,000 horses, it is not possible to complete it in three or two months in the cold winter.

Therefore, it can only be formed by one camp after another, facing each other, and to a limited extent, the camps are connected by a single wall. However, the rebels did not spread 200,000 horses evenly among the camps that stretched for hundreds of miles. Instead, the main camp was established from the east, west, north and south directions, and then the main camp was used as the foundation to build small camps facing each other.

The main role of these small camps, ranging from 100 to 1,000 people, is still for monitoring and guarding, and the main forces in each battalion have to fight big and hard battles.

The direction of Wuhu Huaizhong's attack is the weak point of the rebel camp, there is no trench, and the low wall is not difficult for them at all.

After breaking through the barracks, thousands of cavalry immediately set fire to the rebel barracks they passed, in order to attract the attention of the rebels, and they took advantage of the confusion and the cover of night to quickly move elsewhere.

The 1,000 cavalry of the Tongluo Department concocted the same method, and wiped out the five camps of the rebels in a company, but the resistance encountered was minimal, almost all of them fell down the wall, and more than 100 rebels were defeated like a mountain, and they had no intention of fighting.

The main camp of the rebels directly south of Anhua Gate was surrounded by such small camps, and after uprooting several places one after another, they could drive straight from the flanks to the hinterland of their camp.

Wuhu Huaizhong did this by taking a risk, and during this period, if he was surrounded by the rebels relying on the various camps, it would be difficult to escape again.

However, the risk was worth it, and soon the cavalry of Tongluo were able to witness a large-scale mutiny of the rebels at close range, on a scale large enough to destroy the entire main camp in the south.

Indiscriminate slashing, crazy arson, all just to highlight the stronghold and leave this hell on earth.

The rebel camp was very well guarded from the outside, and it was not easy for the rebels inside to get out, unless the gate was closed, unless they knocked over the high and thick walls. The wall of the main camp is obviously different from those small-scale camps, and it is actually sandwiched by wooden poles up to nearly two feet thigh-thick, with three layers inside and outside, and the cavalry of Luobu can only look at it and sigh.

"The rebels mutinied, report the news!"

Soon, someone ignited the rocket carried by the army, and with five sharp whistles, three flames dragged their long tails straight into the night sky, and they could be seen clearly from a distance of more than ten miles.

In Chang'an City, everyone on the Anhua Gate saw this scene, and after a while, the cheers shook like thunder.

According to the prior agreement, five rockets showed that the rebel mutiny was extremely serious and difficult to quell.

Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan trembled with excitement, and even expressed his willingness to personally lead the troops out of the city to annihilate the enemy.

But Guo Ziyi poured cold water again.

"The main camp of the rebels is distributed in four directions: east, west, north and south, and now only the main camp in the south has been affected by the mutiny, do you know if it is a rebel trick?"

"It does not hurt to send troops, but send out five thousand men to tempt and tempt, and if there is no ambush, send ten thousand more. ”

Guo Ziyi suggested:

"Doctor, the last general suggested that after our army leaves the city, it should only focus on surveillance. The last general expected that Sun Xiaozhe would not sit idly by and watch the mutiny spread, and would definitely try his best to quell the camp roar, since the entire southern main camp was in the midst of the mutiny, the scale of tens of thousands of people could not be easily pacified. Why not sit back and watch them kill each other? In the meantime, you can maximize the results of the battle by simply moving the camera. ”

Qin Jin high-fived and praised: "Wonderful!"

Guo Ziyi saw that his suggestion had been adopted, and immediately asked Qin Jin to fight.

"The last general is willing to lead his men and horses out of the city and command this battle!"

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Jin nodded happily, no one is more suitable than Guo Ziyi, this person is calm, brave and strategic, and has been fighting horses for half his life, with rich field experience, naturally no one can stand out.

The Anhua Gate opened again, and the 5,000 united soldiers rushed out, and formed an army formation under the city gate, advancing to the south step by step.

"Raise the fire!"

Guo Ziyi gave an order, 5,000 people, 5,000 torches were lit on time, and a large moving fire suddenly appeared in the dark night, to the south, to the south!
