In Biqiuxing's army, the soldiers and grassroots generals of each battalion are eagerly issuing orders, while looking forward to the Chinese army camp, anxiously waiting for Biqiuxing's orders, whether to fight or defend, or what other arrangements, all these unknowns make people feel uneasy.

Human beings are extremely strange animals, perhaps the habit engraved in the genes tens of thousands of years ago, so that human beings know that in times of danger only by gathering in one place, with the strength of the team can better deal with the dilemma, even though there are many dissatisfactions, many complaints, but when the danger comes, everyone still hopes that Biqiu Xing can lead all the soldiers, gather together, and face the swords and guns of the soldiers of the expedition to the west. Although there may have been contradictions of one kind or another between the pawns and auxiliaries before, the contradictions between the individuals will be concealed under the collective will at the slightest order, at least until the battle is completed.

When the rear camp was noisy and chaotic, and was suddenly attacked by the cavalry of the expedition to the west, many soldiers who had been in the battle formation had been naturally touched, carrying swords and guns, and they were already assembled in one place, just waiting for the order of the army, and then went to the rear camp to rescue......

I don't know how long I waited, but the banner of the military order of the Chinese military division finally came.

Everyone looked up, distinguishing the meaning of the flag, and suddenly the middle-level generals who understood it slowly lowered their heads, and then some waved their hands and silently let the soldiers go back, and some directly scolded: "What a fart!" Is this ready to go back to the camp? Do you still want to have heavy food and grass? What kind of military order is this?! ”

Of course, the reaction of the soldiers was a little slower than that of the leading generals, after all, not all soldiers could immediately understand the meaning of the banner, but it immediately caused a greater movement, and in the ranks, the voice of shouting and cursing accompanied by confusion and confusion burst out: "The rear camp is gone, what should I do with the grain and grass, and I haven't received today's rations!" Fuck, what's going on today? Don't let the battalion be rescued, and the whole army will not move? Can the scum in the back camp be kept? If we can't hold it, won't we still be able to gnaw the soil? ”

The sound of chaos rang out one after another between the camps, and then there was an uproar.

In the array of Zhengxi infantry soldiers slowly approaching under Pingyang City, Xun Chen was surrounded by guards, staring intently at the movement of the Biqiu Xing camp, and when he heard an uproar, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed, pointing to the Biqiu Xing camp and said: "Such an incompetent person, it is easy to break the enemy!" ”

Xun Chen was a little worried at first, because his attack this time was not actually the original plan, but was forced out by Biqiu Xing.

Biqiu Xing suddenly sent troops to surround Momoyama, and there was a fight, although it is not clear what the situation is, but from the city wall it seems to be a little bad.

This made Xun Chen very embarrassed and tricky, he didn't expect Biqiu Xing to be so reckless, and he didn't expect that someone would dare to risk offending many scholars to do things......

This is the same as the warlord melee period in later generations, even if it is a bastard warlord, not many people will be stupid enough to directly order the slaughter of any university, after all, in this era, those who can afford to read are not from poor families, and they may not be involved in any relationship with a big person, and it is normal for the scholars to marry each other, so if they don't check the three generations of their ancestors, the ghost knows that the beautiful and innocent school girl is actually the sister-in-law of the big guy......

Xun Chen felt that this might be a ploy by Biqiu Xing, a ploy to lure him out of Pingyang City, but the problem was that he couldn't sit idly by on the peach mountain, otherwise he couldn't afford to take care of anything, so there was this midnight raid.

In fact, at the beginning, Xun Chen transferred two thousand horsemen from Yinshan, led by Zhang Lie and Zhang Xiu, hidden in the Baibo Valley, when Baibo claimed to have hidden 100,000 soldiers in the valley, and now it takes no effort to hide one or two thousand cavalry.

In Xun Chen's plan, the cavalry attack on the camp or something is actually a feint, his focus is on Taoshan, he must confirm the situation in Taoshan, and if necessary, he will not hesitate to invite the Cai family back to Pingyang......

Yes, "please".

Xun Chen was originally reluctant to do this, on the one hand, because he felt that with Cai Yong's reputation, no one would dare to touch him, and on the other hand, because Cai Yong's old man insisted on refusing, he was not easy to move. However, now that it is clear that Biqiu Xing has some thoughts about Momoyama that he shouldn't have, it is natural that Cai's safety needs to be vigilant.

Therefore, in Xun Chen's plan, the cavalry raid was originally to make some cheap if it could, but if it didn't work, it would attract attention and cover the soldiers heading to Taoshan.

But I didn't expect that Biqiu Xing didn't seem to be ready to rescue the rear camp!

This is a big gift, how could Xun Chen give it up so easily?

The camp on the side of Fenshui is already a dilapidated mess at this moment, with fireworks in one camp and a sea of corpses and blood.

Although there were many soldiers in the camp of Biqiu Xinghou, and the number was several times that of the cavalry sent by Xun Chen, the problem was that there were loopholes in the defense at the beginning. Although the rear camp set up a wooden fence on the wall, and also set up a horse rebuff antlers or something, but did not dig a deep ditch outside the camp, and at the same time, perhaps because of the lack of time, did not smear a thick yellow mud on the wooden fence of the wall to prevent fire......

Therefore, when Zhang Xiu led the cavalry to pour fire oil and throw rockets into the camp, the wall that had not been properly treated with fire prevention quickly burned, and under the double smoke and flames, the archers who could have relied on the wall to shoot could not stand at all, and there was no external counterattack.

Even if it were, it could be reversed.

Because although the wall is burning, after all, it was originally made of relatively thick wood, which will not be burned down for a while, blocking the soldiers guarding the wall, and also blocking the hooves of Zhang Xiu and other cavalry.

Although the cavalry has strong attack power, Xun Chen also needs such a cavalry to maintain the deterrent power of Biqiu Xing, and it is impossible to exchange the cavalry and Biqiu Xing's foot soldiers regardless of the loss before the general Fei Qian arrives, and even needs to guard against Biqiu Xing's cavalry of less than 1,000 people, although the combat effectiveness is not very good, but after all, it is still cavalry, and the mobility is still there.

As a result, after waiting for a while, there was no movement at all in the entire Chinese army camp in Biqiuxing......

Is this a fuss?

The baggage of 20,000 people is not a little or two, nor is it a pile of two piles, all kinds of items, in this Han Dynasty without cranes, it is impossible to stack how high, so it covers an extremely wide area, until the entire rear camp is stuffed, plus there are 4,000 people, the camp is naturally full of items, there are everything, naturally it is impossible to achieve fire isolation like a warehouse in later generations.

When Zhang Xiu and the cavalry began to set fire to the camp, at first they just burned the wall, but gradually the sparks and flames were uncontrolled, and they began to run around under the blowing of the night wind.

The messy pile of materials increased the difficulty of fighting the fire, and in the panic, some people even knocked over the hay pile!

The dozen or so tanks of water that were originally hoarded in the camp were not enough to say otherwise, but at the beginning, they were used to pour the flames on the walls of the camp, but how could the flames mixed with fire oil be extinguished by the water, but spread along the water! Now when the fire ignited in the camp, I found that there was no reserve in the tank, so I could only run to the bank of the Fenshui River to fetch buckets of water!

Coming and going, even if you fill a bucket of water by the Fenshui, when you run back, you can sway so much that you can leave half a bucket, even if it is good, not to mention that the number of wooden barrels is far from enough, even if you add some wooden spoons or something, it is a drop in the bucket, and the water splashed on it is useless, and many people can only watch the flames get bigger and bigger, and swallow more and more other items......

I don't know when, someone suddenly shouted in the camp after Biqiu Xinghou, and then some people opened the gate of the camp and fled, they were just people recruited or apportioned from Heluo, Hongnong, Hedong, and they were not prepared for battle, and before facing the scene like purgatory, collapse became inevitable.

Zhang Xiu saw that there was an opportunity, so he immediately rushed into the camp on horseback!

Even in the battle of Changping in the pre-Qin period, although it is an exaggeration to kill 400,000 people, it also shows that even if it is a huge battle of such a scale, the death in battle is only about one-tenth, and the rest are either self-defeating or killed by the pit, just like the fortress is often the easiest to break through from the inside, when the rear camp of Biqiuxing was opened by the farmer miscellaneous servants, in fact, the victory or defeat of this part has been determined.

Zhang Xiu led the cavalry into the camp, ignoring the people who ran around and labored, throwing fire-starting objects everywhere, chasing the only remaining soldiers who still had some order.

When Zhang Xiu broke into with the cavalry, the men and horses were all blood-red and rushed in frantically, these people, who occupied about half of the rear camp, suddenly collapsed, and ran aimlessly on the battlefield.

And those transport officials who were supposed to restrain and lead them, the civilian Sima in the various rear battalions in the east of Heluo Hedong or something, are no better than these peasant laborers, and even more out of shape!

Hundreds of people collapse at the same time, and the situation is no longer manageable. Just like the subway with a huge flow of people in later generations, when the panicked people ran around, even if there were calm people among them, they could not resist the crowd, and even if they were about to leave the station, they would be pushed back into the subway car alive. Everyone turned around and ran, and many people's goals were the same, that is, the other side of the village gate that had not yet burned!

More and more fires rose, and the smoke filled the four directions, cutting off people's sight, and they could only hear the horse's hooves of Zhang Xiu's cavalry rushing in like thunder, galloping between the camps!

Is it the sound of screams that increased the uneasiness of the collapsed crowd more and more. In the next moment, the torch that came out of nowhere smashed into the crowd, and also smashed on the high grain and grass bags stacked on the side!

In the smoke, in fact, it is also the same danger for Zhang Xiu and others, after all, the flow of people is crazy, their own cavalry is mixed in it, plus there is a lot of material in the rear camp, it is not possible to run, if you accidentally bump into it, fall, or even be overturned and trampled by the swarm of people and horses, it is not impossible, but at the moment you can't take care of a lot, how can there be no risk in the battle formation, the role of the cavalry is to break the attack and disrupt the chaos, there is such a great opportunity now, if Zhang Xiu doesn't seize it, even he will smoke his own mouth.

The sky is not a problem, and the lack of cavalry is not a special problem, as long as Biqiu Xing can calmly analyze the battlefield situation, gain insight into weighing the pros and cons, even if it is to endure the risk that some of the soldiers will be attacked by the cavalry of Zhengxi, a team of troops covered each other and drove out of the camp, forming a formation and walking slowly, it is nothing more than in the early hours of the morning, and Xun Chen's Pingyang soldiers fought hard, even if there were more casualties, but the overall base of Biqiu Xing's army was victorious, so who won and who lost is not yet known......

However, in Biqiuxing, he thought that the rear battalion could hold out for at least one or two hours, at least until dawn, so he ordered all battalions to defend to the death, wait for the dawn to come, and then see the situation of the soldiers and horses in Pingyang before fighting.

Biqiu Xing thought that even if the rear camp was lost, it was only the loss of some ordnance materials, and Pingyang was not far from Anyi, and the road was not difficult......

As long as he holds the army in his hand and does not be taken advantage of by Xun Chen in Pingyang, it is fine, but what Biqiu Xing did not expect is that giving up the compatriots in the rear camp, as well as most of the baggage of the army, is the most fatal blow to the military spirit of the entire army!

An army that sees its own compatriots being attacked, and then does not dare to rescue when it is close at hand, so as the generals and soldiers in this army, who is willing to fight to the death in the future battle?

If it weren't for Biqiuxing, which seemed to be still sitting in the camp of the Chinese army, if it weren't for the fact that there were still cavalry from the west around, roaring back and forth, if it weren't for the fact that the sky was not clear at this moment, and the mist in the early morning shrouded the four fields, maybe someone would have sneaked out of the camp and fled south after the military spirit had begun to be lost!

"Drumming! Drumming! Xun Chen shouted and ordered, "Raise some more torches!" Go big! Twenty steps forward! The rumbling drums sounded in the wilderness, which seemed to drive up the autumn morning mist, spreading outward in circles, and with the galloping of war horses in front of the Biqiuxing camp, only more than 3,000 troops made a momentum of nearly 10,000 people......

In the camp of Biqiu Xing, thinking that Xun Chen was going to launch a general attack, he began to run around the wall of the camp in a panic, shouting, but he didn't expect that after a while, Xun Chen quietly issued a second order: "Come on!" Deliver an order to the lieutenants, and after the three war drums, they will collect their troops and return to the city......"

"Alas......" Xun Chen looked at the situation in front of him and sighed softly, after all, he was only forced by Biqiu Xing to launch in advance, and it was not easy to achieve the current results, so he couldn't be too greedy, "If the general's troops are also here, how good it would be......"
