Sun Chuanting knew very well the power of the Houjin cavalry, and the place in Guanzhong was relatively flat, which was suitable for cavalry impact. So he ordered to send Hu Dawei to lead 10,000 troops to help the three sides. [Full text reading. He told Hu Dawei that it was best to set up an ambush on the road that must be passed, and give Bai Qi a dismount first.

Hu Dawei received the order and went with 10,000 cavalry.

sent 10,000 reinforcements, Sun Chuanting's heart was a little relieved, at this time he had been rewarded by the city's meticulous work, and the general defense of the Qin army was also clear.

King Qin really did not let Ziyi defend one gate alone, but sent him as a mobile guard force to reinforce each gate at any time. In addition, Wang Jian was sent to guard the east gate, Li Dare to guard the south gate, Shehuai to guard the north gate, and Ji Mengdie to guard the west gate. In the report, Li Yan's figure has not been found in the city, and I don't know what he is doing.

Sun Chuanting was a little worried, if the leaders of the Qin army were in the city, it would be nothing, Li Yan had not shown up, was it because before he besieged the city, he had already left Xi'an City with his men and horses, and hid nearby to prepare for a surprise attack on him, this must be guarded against.

So he had already ordered the scouts to go dozens of miles away to investigate, and once they found signs of the Qin army, they would report it quickly. However, after a few days of exploration, almost within a radius of fifty miles, he did not find a single shadow of the Qin army. I couldn't even find out about Li Yan.

Sun Chuanting was still not reassured, he was afraid that Li Yan would take his men and horses to attack other important places, so he ordered everywhere to be on guard in case the Qin army sneaked attack.

However, in the half month of the siege, there was no attack, so the officers and troops slowly slackened.

Everything was expected by Bai Qi.

The five thousand cavalry of the Qin army, led by Bai Qi, quietly approached the camp of the official army. This is the west gate of Xi'an City, ten miles away from the official army camp, Bai Qi ordered the men and horses to stop and wait for dark.

At this time, it was the first month of the year, in the middle of winter, the weather was cold, and the men and horses besieging the city should not be cold, except for those soldiers who had to be on duty outside to patrol the camp, almost everyone hid in the big tent to warm up. This is especially true at night.

Bai Qi found a high post, got off the horse, took Wang Bao and a few relatives to the post, walked to the post, bent down, and carefully observed the official and military camp.

I saw that the officers and soldiers set up a company camp outside the city of Xi'an, surrounded the city of Xi'an like an iron bucket, and roughly counted it, only outside the west gate, there were more than 1,000 big tents of the officers and soldiers.

Bai Qi calculated in his heart that a tent could sleep ten people, more than 1,000 large tents, at least 10,000 horses, and the four gates combined, no less than 60,000 officers and soldiers.

And he himself, brought only five thousand cavalry.

Wang Bao watched from the side, frowned, and said in a low voice: "General, there are too many men and horses in the official army, can we break the siege with this cavalry?" I wonder if you should wait for the infantry from Brother Lei? ”

Bai Qi said: "I can't wait, besides, the infantry of the three counties together is less than 10,000 people, and it's useless to come." Our five thousand cavalry is enough. ”

These words made Wang Bao really puzzled: "General, the men and horses of the official army, no less than 50,000 or 60,000 miles, it seems that there are a lot of cavalry, let's 5,000 people rush in, let's not talk about whether we can break the siege, as long as we don't fall inside, we are lucky." You're ......"

Bai Qi said: "Don't talk nonsense, go back and wait." ”

Wang Bao didn't dare to say anything, and after a few people returned, Bai Qi ordered a full meal, straightened the horses, and waited for nightfall to attack.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it is completely dark in a short time, and the official barracks are brightly lit, bonfires are blazing, and many soldiers are drinking and napping around the fire.

Bai Qi ordered that 500 men and horses should be left to guard the grain and surplus horses, and the remaining 4,500 men, divided into three teams, were divided into three teams to attack the west gate, the north gate and the south gate, leaving only the east gate without fighting.

He knew that Sun Chuanting was at the east gate, and the defense must be relatively tight.

Wang Bao was even more puzzled: "General, if you separate the men and horses, isn't the army more dispersed?" ”

Bai Qi sneered: "You just wait and see." Learn a little, and when you lead troops to fight in the future, don't lose my people. ”

Then he ordered the cavalrymen, each with two torches in their hands, to charge into the camp and light the torches to burn the tents. When the whole battalion is burned, if you can rush and kill, you will rush and kill for a while, and if the officers and troops are well defended, you can withdraw and return here to assemble.

Bai Qi said in a deep voice: "After you rush into the camp, if you see the place where the officers and soldiers are hoarding grain, grass and cloth, burn them for me. If you see a stable in a stable, let the horses out and disturb the enemy camp. ”

The soldiers of the Qin army all took note of it firmly.

Wang Leopard brought a team to attack the West Gate, and the other two generals took two teams to attack the South Gate and the North Gate, Bai Qi and five hundred centaurs were waiting here, he agreed on a code, and at the time of the third watch, he put three rockets here as the number, and then the three teams of men and horses rushed to kill together.

The people received the order and went away separately with the men and horses.

Bai Qi looked at the sky and estimated the time, the campfires in the officers and soldiers in the distance gradually decreased, the sound of bangzi became clear, most of the officers and soldiers had already slept, and the people patrolling the camp outside were also relaxed, dozing around the fire.

It was almost three watches, and Bai Qi instructed his subordinates: "Release the arrows and send a signal." ”

Whoosh, three rockets take off into the night sky.

Wang Bao had been waiting impatiently, as soon as he saw the rocket, he roared, slammed the war horse under his seat, the horse neighed, the front hooves took off, the hind hooves kicked violently, shot out like an arrow, and rushed to the official army camp.

Behind him, fifteen hundred iron horsemen were like a torrent of steel, stepping through the silence of the boundless night, and the frozen earth was like a huge war drum, beaten by iron hooves, and even the ground trembled.

As soon as Wang Bao launched here, the other two armies also moved, and 4,500 cavalry, with lightning speed, rushed into the official army.

Those officers and soldiers have been paying attention to the city of Xi'an, where would they think that there would be a surprise attack behind, for a moment I don't know why, when the soldiers patrolling the camp heard the sound of horses' hooves, they didn't understand what was going on, and they stood up one by one, straightened their necks and looked, trying to see where the men and horses were.

Wang Leopard took the lead, rushed to the outside of the camp gate, with a gun in his hand to pick open the gate of the walled horse, Lu Chai, came to the front of the gate, the gate has been closed, Wang Leopard beckoned the soldiers behind him, dozens of horses raised their front hooves, and trampled towards the gate together.

With a bang, the gate couldn't stand it and collapsed immediately. The king leopard flew in.

After entering the camp, the patrol team of the official army found that it was not their own men and horses that came, but the enemy army, and hurriedly wanted to blow the trumpet and beat the gong, but it was too late, and the Qin army had already rushed to the front. And several other trumpeters were also chopped to the ground by the Qin army.

Each of these Qin soldiers had two torches on their backs, and after entering the camp, they lit the torches on the bonfire and threw them at the tent.

Thousands of torches instantly turned the entire camp into a sea of fire.

The officers and soldiers were awakened in their sleep, burned up, and ran out with exclamations, and some of them were on fire all over their bodies, and they were burned so loudly that they screamed, because it was winter, and when these people slept, they were all dressed in coats and wrapped in quilts, and after the tents were burned, they were on fire together with their clothes and quilts, and these people turned into fireballs, screaming and rolling around, and in this way, more tents were lit.

Wang Leopard can kill, a gun will kill people, see people will pick, kill more than 20 people in a row, and feel not enjoyable, and when he rushed to the camp, he found a row of stables, which were about hundreds of horses tethered, he took out a torch, lit it and threw it to the stable, the roof of the stables was full of hay, and when he saw the fire, for a while, the roof of the entire stable, scraped and burned, this time it was bitter to the horses inside, the horse's back was scalded and blistered, the horse's tail was burned, these horses were frightened and jumped, and broke free from the reins, began to rampage through the camp and trampled on many officers and soldiers.

The other two groups of men and horses were in a similar situation to him, and the camp of the three gates was burned red, and the fire was red for half the day.

Sun Chuanting got the report, hurriedly ran out of the big tent to take a look, the fire in the distance, the golden snake scurrying, no need to ask, the official army was raided, either the Qin army in the city came out of the city to attack, or the Qin army outside came to relieve the siege.

He immediately ordered He Renlong to take 3,000 cavalry to gallop to the north gate, Gao Jie to bring 3,000 cavalry to reinforce the south gate, Zuo Xiang to take 3,000 men and horses, go to the west gate, and at the same time ordered all the horses in his camp to take the sword out of the sheath, the bow to be wound, and wait for the battle.

Sun Chuanting's calm and calm arrangement had an effect, and the men and horses of his battalion did not become chaotic.

Bai Qi sent to attack the men and horses of the south gate and the north gate, killed for a while, and suddenly saw a cavalry of officers and soldiers rushing in the distance, knowing that it was to reinforce, the other party was numerous, and could not be in love, so the two generals immediately withdrew from the camp with men and horses and came to the west gate.

As soon as the two of them retreated, He Renlong and Gao Jie followed closely behind, and also arrived at the West Gate.

Wang Bao also saw a large number of officers and cavalry coming, and thought that it was almost burned at this time, so he would accept it when he saw it, so more than 4,000 Qin cavalry withdrew and moved closer to Baiqi.

He Renlong and other three generals led 9,000 officers and soldiers to follow closely.

Bai Qi had already expected that Sun Chuanting would inevitably send reinforcements, so he ordered the five hundred people under his command to light the torches that had been prepared long ago.

Each of the 500 men cut down more than a dozen branches, made them into torches, and stuck them everywhere. At this time, they were all lit, and they saw countless torches, connected into countless fire dragons, plus those people shouted together, and the extra two thousand war horses, and someone specially tied them to the tree, and kept whipping, and these horses neighed in shock, and the sound was heard for miles.

These sounds, coupled with the torches, caused a great momentum, and when He Renlong and the other three generals chased not far away, they all stuck their men and horses, and did not dare to move forward.

He Renlong exclaimed: "Good girl, how many thieves are here?" I can't see more than 20,000 people. ”
