Chapter 201: Raiding the Camp
At this moment, he was sitting and eating with the soldiers of his own army, and while eating, he listened to a small man named Zhou Shao talking.
Although this guy is small, he is the deputy head of their 'capital', because none of the soldiers in the barracks have been on the battlefield, so the selection criteria for the first batch of officers will refer to their background in addition to physical fitness.
Zhou Shao was a native of Hui'an, so he was appointed as the deputy head of the capital, Li Wencheng often secretly sneered, let this kind of small man be the deputy head of the capital, he didn't believe that this kind of army could stop the army of the imperial court.
However, if he really loses to the imperial court, with his current status, there is only a dead end, but he now looks down on these.
Recently, he received a letter from home, learning that his son had sold the family house and left Xiuning, and his wife and aunt had returned to their parents' homes.
After eating, there is a half-hour break at noon, and some soldiers will sleep for a while, after all, they have to get up at the end of the day to train.
There are also soldiers talking together, Li Wencheng and their team, because Wu Chang Gangzi hopes to take this opportunity to contact his subordinates, and asks everyone to get together, even if they want to sleep, they must sleep next to everyone.
In this noisy environment, Li Wencheng naturally couldn't sleep, so he had to listen to these mud legs talking nonsense, just as Zhou Shao was arguing with a soldier who questioned him, a thunderous roar came from afar: "Assemble!" ”
It was a bearded man who spoke, Li Wencheng immediately stood up, and quickly stood in a queue like the other soldiers, this bearded man was their head Yan Shi, and his temper was the most irritable, and no one dared to make him angry.
At the same time, the heads of the other capitals were also gathering their ranks, and Li Wencheng had a premonition that the army might have to make some moves.
Yan Shi's team was already faster than most teams, but he was still not satisfied, and yelled, "Haven't you eaten enough?" The next gathering will be so slow, and I will run for Lao Tzu at noon! ”
The whole team was silent, and even those who wanted to fart had to hold their farts for fear of provoking the attention of the capital.
"Go back and pack your things, and gather here in half an hour, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison, including Zhou Shao, the deputy head of the military capital, no one dared to ask more, asking Li Wencheng to say that they were the most miserable deputy capital leaders in the entire military camp, because they were often scolded by Yan Shi in front of everyone, and they no longer had any majesty, and even the army commanders didn't take him very seriously.
"Scatter!"
With Yan Shi's order, everyone ran towards their camp tent, Li Wencheng quickly returned to his camp tent, cleaned up, sorted out a package, carried it on his back, and then returned to the open space to gather.
After that, the team left Phoenix Mountain and headed north, and when the troops marched into Qimen City, all the soldiers looked very happy, and life in the city was naturally better than in the barracks.
Li Wencheng guessed that it was probably the Tang Army who came over, and these stupid mud-legged people probably didn't know that their lives were coming to an end, although he himself was the same.
After entering the city, Li Wencheng keenly discovered one thing, their infantry was left in the city, but the cavalry soldiers could not see it, and it was likely that they had left the city.
Could it be that the commander who commanded this army was crazy and dared to fight the Tang army in the field? His mind was full of doubts, and he vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong with what he thought.
On the other side, Xie Rang led five thousand elite horsemen to Hui'an Mansion day and night, when the autumn moon, Shang Biao Xu Qi, Xie Rang's army was close to the border of Hui'an Mansion, and the deputy commander Xu Dajin said:
"General, if you want to enter the territory of Hui'an Mansion, you need to slow down, straighten out your soldiers, and strengthen your guard at night to prevent the enemy from robbing the camp."
Before Xie Rang could speak, the general who was good friends with Wang Meng laughed and said: "Deputy commander, be careful, let's not say that the group of recruits in Hui'an Mansion know about our march, even if they do, they will only retreat in the city, how dare they run out and die." ”
The other generals also laughed, Xu Da was transferred from a civilian official to a military general, so it was difficult to establish prestige in the battalion.
"Just do what General Xu says." Xie Rang frowned and said, as the main general, the responsibility for the problem lies with him, although he is earnest, he does not dare to be too careless.
This night, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, Xie let the army repair ten miles away from the border, and the vigilance was also strengthened at night, Xu Da was reading a book in the camp, and suddenly heard a noise from outside the camp, and he was shocked, could it be that the other party really came to rob the camp? His previous proposal to be more vigilant was just a habit of caution over the years.
Hurriedly put on armor and went out of the camp tent, only to see the fire outside the camp, their own soldiers and horses have been fighting with the enemy, because the patrol sergeants are very large, so their own team is not chaotic, the patrol soldiers only blocked the enemy for a moment, the other resting sergeants have been dressed and armored, under the leadership of their respective commanders, the whole army counterattack.
Soon, the enemy also saw that the camp was prepared and retreated.
In the handsome camp, as soon as Xu Da entered, Xie Rang personally greeted him, held his hand and patted it vigorously, and said, "Thanks to Brother Xu's reminder this time, otherwise our side will inevitably suffer heavy losses." ”
"The general is serious, is it really the army of Hui'an Mansion who robbed the camp?" Xu Da was a little surprised.
"Yes, there were only a thousand cavalry who robbed the camp last night, but they didn't behave like recruits, and their combat strength was not much weaker than ours, and we underestimated them before." Xie Rang said in a deep voice.
The general who was good friends with Wang Meng did not have the same ease on his face at this moment, and said in a condensed voice: "General, they should only have this thousand cavalry, and it is very likely that they are like us, they are running from the starry night of Qimen County, and the last general thinks that we should immediately release the sentry horses, find them, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!" ”
Xie Rang raised his eyes to look at Xu Da, Xu Da nodded and said, "General Yu's words are reasonable. ”
Xie Rang no longer hesitated, and said loudly: "Starting tomorrow, release the sentry horses, and be sure to find them." ”
At noon the next day, Xie Rang's army slowed down and slowly marched towards Hui'an Mansion, when suddenly, the sentinel came to report that the enemy army had been found.
"How many of them are there?" Xie Rang asked.
"About a thousand people, all cavalry." The sentry replied.
Xie Rang nodded and was silent, this is about the same amount as he imagined, even if the Hui'an Mansion can temporarily recruit troops, but horses are not so easy to get, they can form this thousand cavalry, it should have been a lot of waste.
General Yu slapped his fist hard and said, "Commander, the other party is also a cavalry, if they fight directly, they will definitely flee, why don't we also raid the camp at night." ”
"Brother Xu, what do you think?" Xie Rang asked.
Xu Da pondered for a moment and said, "I thought that from yesterday's act of robbing the camp, it can be seen that the enemy commander is by no means a mediocre person, and it is a little inappropriate to rob the camp rashly. ”
"Brother Xu means not to rob the camp?"
Xu Da smiled slightly, and said: "No, I think it is possible to rob the camp, but to prevent the other party from cheating, you can divide the team into two teams, one team to rob the camp, and one team to respond on the periphery. ”
"It's a good plan, so let's do it!" Xie Rang said with a smile.
The plan was decided, and the army sent people to continue to monitor the enemy's movements, while camping and resting, and when it was time for the third watch, Xie Rang ordered the team to divide into two teams and go to the enemy's camp.
After approaching the camp, the soldiers wrapped cloth on the horses' hooves, led the horses, and General Yu led one of the teams to quietly approach the camp.
After the archers shot the patrol soldiers to death, General Yu's team had already entered the camp, and he no longer hid, and when he gave the order, the drums were loud, and some of the soldiers set fires, and some broke into the camp tent to kill those unprepared enemy soldiers.
However, the soldiers who broke into the tent soon reported that it was an empty camp, and General Yu suddenly came to the side of a sentry who had been shot to death, and finally saw by the moonlight that it was a scarecrow who had been shot.
He glanced in the direction where Xu Da was, and muttered, "Fuck, this kid is right." ”
After waiting in place for a while, but no ambush came, General Yu was feeling strange, and a herald came from afar, saying that Commander Xie asked him to pass.
After leading the army to meet Xie Rang outside the camp, General Yu asked, "Commander, it seems that the Hui'an army has not laid an ambush." ”
Xie Rang said in a deep voice: "You are wrong, they ambushed nearby, but they found our peripheral troops, so they withdrew." "It's not a good thing for an enemy general to be so shrewd.
