Chapter 563: Attack on the Camp (4)
About a stick of incense later, when Zhao Yu took Niu Heng, Le Gui, He Shun and thousands of Yingchuan troops to the camp of the Henan Army, the camp of the Henan Army was already a sea of fire.
The relentless fire engulfed many of the tents in the camp, and gradually spread, fueled by the night wind, igniting the nearby fence.
However, these are not the worst.
The worst thing was the mutual distrust of the Henan army in all parts of the battalion.
Due to the provocation of those rebel soldiers pretending to be the Henan army, the Henan soldiers in the battalion will be wary of each other, and even attack each other.
Zhao Yu saw with his own eyes that the two groups of Henan soldiers scolded each other for being spies who had infiltrated the camp, and killed each other.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, and then at the two cannibalistic Henan troops, Zhao Yu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, in terms of reason, the Henan army is his friendly army, not a rebel army.
『…… The chaos of the Henan army must be stopped!'
A thought immediately sprung up in Zhao Yu's heart.
He immediately shouted: "I am Zhou Hu, the captain of Yingchuan, but all the Henan army will throw weapons at me, and those who do not comply will be punished as anti-army!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yu's voice, Le Gui and thousands of Yingchuan soldiers also shouted loudly: "Captain Zhou has an order, but all the Henan troops will drop their weapons, and those who do not comply will be punished as anti-army!" ”
Hearing this shout, the two groups of Henan troops who were still killing each other stopped their hands, and each other's faces showed joy.
"Captain Zhou...... Zhou Duwei led the Yingchuan army to help. ”
"It was Captain Zhou who personally led the Yingchuan army to help! …… Ha, this group of damned rebels is dead! ”
"You're the rebels! Stop pretending to me! ”
"What do you say? You're the rebels! ”
"You are rebels!"
"Stop! Stop! Zhao Yu shouted in a deep voice: "I, Zhou Hu, gave an order in the name of Lieutenant Yingchuan, and I will temporarily dispatch you, and everyone will throw weapons to me, and those who do not obey the order will be punished as anti-army!" ”
Hearing this, the two groups of Henan troops left their weapons in each other's surprised eyes.
As predicted by Zhao Yu, these two groups of people are indeed Henan Army.
At this time, Le Gui hurriedly came to Zhao Yu's side and said in a low voice: "Big leader, I'm afraid the fire in this camp can't be controlled......
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and then immediately looked at the many Henan troops nearby and ordered in a deep voice: "The fire in the camp is difficult to control, everyone listens to my orders, picks up the weapons on the ground, and goes to the camp to reorganize the formation. …… Remember, no more cannibalism! ”
The two groups of Henan sergeants looked at each other, or someone shouted: "Captain Zhou, they are rebels pretending to be ......"
Before the words fell, another group of people scolded: "Let your mother's fart!" You're the rebels! ”
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, Zhao Yu angrily reprimanded: "Shut up! Shut up! Listen to my orders, slowly leave the camp, and after dawn, it is clear who is a soldier and who is a rebel, if anyone speaks and provokes, they will be punished as anti-army! …… Get out of camp quickly! ”
“…… Be. ”
In view of the reputation and status of Zhao Yu, the 'Captain of Zhou', the two groups of Henan soldiers did not dare to say any more, and quickly withdrew outside the camp according to Zhao Yu's orders, leaving only the corpses in one place.
At a cursory glance, there were about more than 100 corpses on the ground, and Zhao Yu's eyes couldn't help but be a little erratic.
After a long breath, Zhao Yu ordered in a deep voice: "Go, go to Zhongying!" ”
"Yes!"
Along the way, Zhao Yu led the Yingchuan army all the way to stop the civil strife of the Henan army, and after stopping these Henan troops from attacking each other, they were ordered to quickly evacuate the camp that had fallen into the sea of fire.
It's funny to say that those Henan soldiers will not trust each other, but they believe in Zhao Yu and the Yingchuan army under his command.
And this is not good news for Zou Yuan, Xiang Ji, Zhou Zhong and other rebels who are still mixed in the Henan military camp to create chaos.
"Damn! The tiger came so quickly that week!'
Knowing that the Yingchuan army quickly came to support, the rebel general Zou Yuan cursed in his heart and decided to retreat immediately.
He was not sure that he could deceive that Zhou Hu, thinking that he was ordered by Xiang Xuan to defraud Xuchang with Cao Suo, the former governor of Yingchuan County, which was obviously a seamless plan, but it still aroused the suspicion of Zhou Hu, so that the more than 2,000 righteous divisions who finally entered the city were wiped out, and he was also captured by Zhou Hu.
It was this experience that made Zou Yuan feel inexplicably weak when he heard Zhou Hu's name.
"Inform Xiang Ji and Zhou Zhong, withdraw!"
After giving an order, Zou Yuan immediately led people to evacuate.
At the same time, Li Meng, the governor of Henan, also learned the news that Zhao Yu led the army to reinforce him, and hurriedly brought the assembled army to join Zhao Yu.
After a brief fist salute to each other, Li Meng said gratefully: "I just received the news that Captain Zhou led the army to help in time to stop the stupid behavior of our Henan army to kill each other, and Li Meng is here to thank you." ”
"This is what Zhou should do, Li Duwei is serious." Zhao Yu hurriedly gave a false shot.
Immediately, he asked Li Mengdao: "What is the current situation of the war?" ”
"It's not optimistic." 258
Li Meng shook his head and said: "The rebels are afraid that I will set up an ambush in the camp, so this group of damned rebels actually sent a group of judges who pretended to be our soldiers when they attacked the camp. …… Just now I got the news that General Xue's reinforcements were also intercepted by the rebels on the east side of the camp...... Did you send troops as planned? ”
"Sent." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "I sent Wang Qing, Qin Yu, and Jia Shu to lead 5,000 soldiers from the west side around the camp to block ......."
As they spoke, Zhao Yu and Li Meng both turned their heads to look in the direction of the west side of the camp.
Despite the distance, they could still hear the sound of killing coming from the west side of the camp.
"Most of them were intercepted by the rebels."
Li Meng frowned and said, "Since the rebels can think of dividing their troops to intercept General Xue's reinforcements, it is estimated that the reinforcements you sent have also been intercepted......"
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a guard beside him pointed to the north and exclaimed, "Du Wei, Zhou Du Wei, look! ”
Li Meng looked up, and even when he saw the camp to the north, there seemed to be a fire.
To the north of the Henan military barracks, it was the barracks of the Yingchuan Army under Zhao Yu.
Obviously, it was the camp of the Yingchuan army that was attacked.
"Ugh."
Looking at the fire in the north, Li Meng opened his mouth and sighed gloomily, and then said to Zhao Yu with a wry smile: "The responsibility this time is mine, if the general investigates it, I will bear it with all my might......"
These words made Zhao Yu very weak-hearted.
"Let's not talk about this first, I'm afraid the fire in the camp can't be controlled, let's take people to retreat outside the camp first."
"Okay." Li Meng nodded.
While the two were discussing, Zhao Yu's gaze casually swept around.
Immediately, his eyes saw corpses everywhere.
『……』
Looking at the corpses, Zhao Yu's gaze became fluttering again.
Previously, in view of the fact that the war was going to spread to Liangcheng, so that he could fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to catch Tong Yan, and he got the information from his brother Zhao Yin, Zhao Yu did not hesitate to decide to be a traitor and secretly help the rebels destroy his Jin army's joint camp.
Although he was also aware at the time that his actions might cause additional casualties to his Jin army, he did not take it too seriously at the time, and it was not until this moment that he witnessed the losses of the Henan army that he really realized the cost - because of his personal selfishness, many innocent people were involved and lost their lives for it.
On the contrary, if he really fulfilled his duties as the 'Captain of Yingchuan' and the 'General of the Jin Kingdom', the friendly army of the Henan Army would never suffer such losses.
Especially when Li Meng thanked him from the bottom of his heart, the guilt in Zhao Yu's heart was even worse.
『…… This battle must be ended as soon as possible.'"
He thought to himself.
It is naturally impossible for him to give up 'kidnapping Tong Yan', no matter how heavy the price is, or even abandoning his conscience, Zhao Yu will not let go of Tong Yan, the murderer who caused the destruction of his Zhao family, and the 'mastermind' behind it, but 'being a traitor' is better to avoid it if it can be avoided.
At least to return to the way it was before, just like he did with Guan Shuo's Changsha Yishi - although he knew that Guan Shuo and Jiangdong Yishi were in the same camp, this did not prevent him from leading the army and people of Kunyang to resist the Changsha Yishi until he finally hit it hard.
"Captain Zhou?"
Seeing that Zhao Yu was a little distracted for some reason, Li Meng kindly reminded: "It's time to withdraw." ”
"Oooh......"
Zhao Yu nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream, and quickly withdrew his gaze from the corpses of those Henan soldiers not far away.
That night, after a scuffle, the Jin army finally lost the camp, after the Henan army's camp was burned, the Yingchuan army's camp was also attacked by the rebels, and the baggage, grain and grass in the camp were all burned by the rebels.
With his own defeat in the army, Xue Ao issued an order to Zhao Yu and Li Meng to 'withdraw to Liangcheng'.
After receiving the order, Zhao Yu and Li Meng gathered their troops according to the order and slowly withdrew to Liangcheng.
In the process of assembling the army, because he saw some casualties of the Henan army, Zhao Yu was quite concerned about the casualties of the troops under Qin Yu and Jia Shu.
When he learned that Qin Yu and Jia Shu did not show mercy when they encountered the rebels, Zhao Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because before that, he had considered whether to let the army under his command release water or something, until he saw the corpse of the Henan soldier with his own eyes, he was glad that he had not committed such a stupid act, otherwise, he would really be ashamed of his own soldiers.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu said to He Shun in a deep voice on the way to Liangcheng: "He Shun, immediately send someone to Kaifeng and transfer all five hundred brigade wolves to Liangcheng. ”
"Grand Chief?" He Shun looked at Zhao Yu in surprise.
As Zhao Yu's chief of guard, He Shun is one of the few people who knows some inside information.
"Do as I say." Zhao Yu said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Redeploying five hundred brigade wolves to Liangcheng was a message from Zhao Yu to his brother Zhao Yin.
After all, he didn't secretly help the rebels on the other side for nothing.
He secretly helped the rebels this time, just to make the rebels carry this black pot when he kidnapped Tong Yan in the future.
