Chapter 507, Pointing to the Waves and Clouds 9
At this time, Zuo Liangyu was in the big tent, stunned at the map. [Full text reading. 】
In the battle during the day, he lost thousands of men and horses, although it was not heavy, but the morale was affected, and the army began to fear the Qin army. It's no wonder that the Qin army's military array is so powerful, far beyond his expectations, not to mention those soldiers.
After returning to the camp, Zuo Liangyu sent people to save the dead and help the wounded, and on the other hand, he ordered several adjutant generals to strictly guard tonight to prevent the Qin army from coming to rob the camp.
After dinner, Zuo Liangyu sat alone in the tent, thinking about the Qin army's military formation, and then drew it on paper with a pen, trying to find out the weaknesses of this military formation.
But he was busy for half the night, and he didn't find any weaknesses, the Qin army's military formation, like a poisonous snake when attacking, biting your most painful place, and like a hedgehog when defending, people have nowhere to put their mouths.
In the end, Zuo Liangyu sighed and threw the pen: "Sure enough, the world is invincible......"
He finally understood why the Qin army was able to sweep through the six countries and dominate the world two thousand years ago.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a fierce shout in the distance, Zuo Liangyu frowned, and before he could get up, a Chinese army had already run in to report: "Commander, the Qin army has come to rob the camp." ”
Zuo Liangyu jumped up and sneered: "Sure enough, it's here, how many people are there?" Zhongjun said: "There are more than 10,000 people, and they are all cavalry." Zuo Liangyu said: "Okay, it's good." During the day, they won for a while, and they were not greedy enough, and they dared to rob the camp, which was too underestimated. The order went down, and the cavalry in the side camp rushed up, copied to the back of the Qin army, and surrounded it, I want to let this ten thousand Qin troops have no return. ”
Not long after the order was issued, thousands of cavalry rushed out of the flank camp of the official army, and these cavalry did not come to meet the battle, but bypassed the Qin army and cut off the retreat.
Wang Bao and Li Yan are commanding the men and horses to attack, 10,000 Qin troops are divided into three teams, frontal assault, arrows are like flying locusts, S enters the official army camp, most of which are rockets, and the officers and soldiers do not show weakness, in the camp also S, the arrows of both sides are staggered in the air, and there are even a lot of collisions together.
After killing for a while, someone came to report: "Li Gongzi, countless cavalry were killed in the side camp of the official army, but they did not meet our army, but went into the dark night, and I don't know where they went." ”
Li Yan was stunned: "Didn't you go to rob our camp?" ”
Wang Bao said: "That's not necessarily, there are still 30,000 horses under the general, and it is more than enough to guard the big tent, Zuo Liangyu will not think of this, I am worried that this army wants to copy behind us and retreat from the way back of our army." ”
Li Yan looked at the camp, only some of the camp tents were on fire, and there was no chaos, so he knew that Yizhimei had not yet succeeded. At this time, they can't retreat, if they do, Yizhimei will be in the enemy camp, and it will be even more difficult to move an inch.
Therefore, Li Yan gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, the purpose of tonight is to cooperate with Miss Mei to set fire, and she must not withdraw until she succeeds." Resist no matter what. ”
Wang Bao nodded, nodded to a partial general, and asked him to bring two thousand cavalry to hold the rear formation, in case the officers and soldiers suddenly came up from behind and disrupted their own corners.
This decision really saved Qin Jun.
In less than a cup of tea, thousands of officers and cavalry came up from behind, killing together with the broken men and horses of the Qin army.
As soon as Li Yan saw that there were officials and soldiers on the back road, he knew that Zuo Liangyu wanted to wrap his 10,000 horses into dumplings, and wanted to find the face of the day's defeat. So he smiled coldly: "Don't be afraid, the more officers and soldiers come, the better, the more people Zuo Liangyu sends, the more empty the camp will be, pass the order down, storm the camp gate, and rush in to meet the officers and soldiers." ”
Thousands of cavalry of the Qin army got the general's order, and one by one they had red eyes, desperately urging their horses, and rushed to the camp gate, the front row was knocked down, and the people behind swooped upwards regardless of life or death.
When the battle in the front camp was in full swing, Yizhimei had already taken advantage of the chaos to sneak in from the side camp.
She didn't go through the camp gate, but walked around the camp, chose a relatively hidden place, quietly put up the fence, and then jumped into the camp while the night patrol soldiers were paying attention to the front camp.
It's not the first time that Yizhimei is familiar with infiltrating the camp.
According to Bai Qi's prior instructions, she lowered her body and sneaked between the tents, carefully observing the movements around her.
Li Yan led the people to fight in front, which played a great role, almost every big tent of the officers and soldiers drilled out of the tent, looking ahead, not paying attention to anything else, a plum branch in the shadows, no one noticed.
Soon after, Yizhimei came to the central area of the official army camp, where there was indeed another camp, surrounded by a wooden fence, which was not connected to the camps.
When you look closely, you can see that the tents in the camp are not inhabited, but are stuffed with sacks and other things. There is also some firewood and grass piled up outside.
Sure enough, this is where grain and grass are hoarded.
She was overjoyed, and she poured all the oil she had brought on the firewood and grass, and then went to the surrounding tents and found a few jars of spirits. Pour all this wine on the haystack.
Her movements were very cautious and hidden, and no one noticed it, so the officers and soldiers guarding here were also attracted by the battle situation ahead, and they were all nervously looking into the distance, and no one expected that an enemy would dare to enter here and set fire.
Yizhimei had finished pouring out several jars of wine, and felt that it was okay, so she took out a few burning wooden Gs from a copper basin for lighting, and threw them separately on several grass piles.
As soon as the fire came into contact with the firewood and the oil and spirits, it immediately burst into flames. The firewood and grass were very dry, and with the help of fire oil and spirits, the fire rose to the sky.
Yizhi Mei burrowed into the shadows and left the fire.
The fire was immediately discovered by the officers and soldiers, and they shouted to come to put out the fire, and then the camp of the officers and soldiers was immediately in chaos, not to mention the attack in front, the grain and grass in the camp caught fire again, and the soldiers were suddenly in a state of confusion.
Someone flew to report to Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu's Chinese army tent is not too far from the place where the grain is hoarded, as soon as he saw the sky-high fire here, Zuo Liangyu immediately understood, his grain and grass will not catch fire for no reason, someone must be making trouble, he immediately ordered all the troops to put out the fire, all the horses in the camp, except for half of the Qin army in the front battalion, the rest came to fight the fire and protect the grain and grass.
For a while, there was chaos in the official barracks, accompanied by the flames that soared into the sky, and they could be seen clearly from ten miles away.
As soon as Li Yan saw that a fire had broken out in the camp of the official army, he knew that Yizhimei's mission had been completed and that he could withdraw at this time. He consulted with Wang Bao, taking advantage of the chaos of the official army at this time, and had no time to attack and kill with all his strength, he immediately changed the rear army into the front army and advanced in the direction of his own camp.
Unexpectedly, Wang Bao did not agree with Li Yan's proposition.
Wang Bao smiled: "Li Gongzi, when I left the camp, the general gave me a secret order, telling me that as long as Miss Mei succeeds, I will open this order, and at this time, it is time to take a look at this secret order." ”
Li Yan said with a smile: "The general still has a clever plan, but I didn't expect it." ”
Wang Bao took out the secret bag, opened the secret order inside, and the two of them were stunned, because only a few words were written on it: fight to the death, and those who retreat will be killed.
Obviously, the grain and grass can be withdrawn, how can Bai Qi give such a death order, let them fight to the death, you know, they only brought 10,000 horses, in case Zuo Liangyu dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, the whole army came out of the camp, and they would be surrounded to death by 10,000 people, and then the stuffiness of the grain and grass would be burned, but it would be vented on their heads.
But Bai Qi's warrant can't be disobeyed, if you go back like this, you will disobey the military order, and you will also be killed, Li Yan and Wang Bao have been in the army for many years, how can they not know this truth.
The two of them glanced at each other, and blurted out at the same time: "The general must have a clever plan!" ”
It seems that the two have the same mind, needless to say, Li Yan said: "General Wang, you go to command the rear team, I will command the front army, let's fight this life and fight to the death with the officers and soldiers here." ”
Wang Bao nodded, and the two of them commanded the Qin army one after the other, fighting desperately and never retreating.
Besides, Zuo Liangyu, after the fire of grain and grass in the camp, it burned very badly, those horse grass are very flammable, once it burns, it is difficult to extinguish, Zuo Liangyu used tens of thousands of people to fight the fire, and finally controlled the fire.
But a rough check shows that the horse grass has almost been burned, and a lot of grain has been burned. Zuo Liangyu was furious, without horse grass, the war horse could not be fed, how to fight? It was almost barren land, with very little hay and few trees, and the horses could not forage for food, so he was so angry that he whipped the ground with his whip.
At this time, the front camp came to report, saying that the Qin army that robbed the camp had been surrounded and was besieging on all sides, Zuo Liangyu's eyes were on fire, and he viciously ordered: "Annihilate that Qin army, not one of them can leave." ”
He personally led the men and horses to the front camp, and almost all the 40,000 horses were brought over, ready to swallow the 10,000 Qin troops with the belt and bones.
Li Yan and Wang Bao saw that the door of the official army camp was wide open, and countless people and horses poured out, besieging themselves, and they had to grit their teeth and fight to the death, Li Yan told his subordinates that Zuo Liangyu's grain and grass had been burned, this was a battle before death, as long as he withstood the attack of the official army, the general must have a clever plan to come to relieve the siege.
When the Qin army heard this, their courage doubled, they shouted loudly, and started a melee with the official army.
After killing for a while, the Qin army had lost three or four thousand people, and gradually lost its strength, Wang Bao ran back to Li Yan and shouted: "Li Gongzi, if this continues, the whole army will really be wiped out." Do you want to go the way you came, killing and walking? ”
Li Yan shouted: "The general's order must have its merits, there is no need to be suspicious, just fight to the death, and you must not retreat a step......"
Wang Bao had just answered, when he suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of golden drums on both sides of the official army camp.
With the sound of the golden drum, countless torches suddenly lit up in the night, like two fire dragons, towards the official army camp, everyone looked up, only to see a big flag flying in the light of the fire that shone like day, and the flag was a "white" word.
On top of a white horse, it was Bai Qi, the general of the Qin army, who sat majestic.
