Chapter 5 Quick Solution
Four more. The second drum of the Han army sounded.
Zha Mu jumped up! "All troops on alert!" He commanded loudly.
All the soldiers stood up, their weapons in their hands, ready to fight. Although they were tired, they were powerful soldiers of the Jin Army, and they must not lose to these weak Han Chinese, not to mention that they did not lose either!
The drumming stopped. Time passed, and it was still very quiet outside the camp. The sky has begun to whiten.
Even Zamuhe yawned. Why didn't the Han army attack yet? The sky was already a little bright, and there was no need to leave the camp, as far as you could see from the camp, it was empty outside, and there was not even a shadow of an enemy.
Zamuhe hesitated.
It doesn't make sense. This makes absolutely no sense. He got the information that there was a great shortage of food and grass in the Han military camp, and that they were not idiots, and they should know how much of a threat the existence of this stronghold posed to the entire defense line, and they would not be in a hurry. So, why not attack yet?
The sun slowly emerges from the clouds. Everyone's eyes were a little open. I didn't dare to close my eyes all night, my nerves were highly tense, and now I was exposed to the sun, and I was really sleepy.
"Chief," said Abuhua timidly, "it seems。。。。。。 The Han army did not plan to attack last night. ”
Zamuhe glared at Abuhua. Isn't this nonsense? The night passed, and the Han army did not come at all.
He looked up and thought for a moment, and muttered, "Since they didn't come last night, they won't come tonight, because they will think of what we thought of, harassing for three nights in a row, and whoever thinks that the enemy might attack." Then, tomorrow night is the time for them to attack. ”
"The boss is clever!" Abuhua praised.
Zamuhe ignored Ah Buhua, he didn't like his subordinates to praise him with Han Chinese words. "The whole army ---- sleep!" He issued orders. It was already midday, and the sun was rising high.
Half an hour later, Wei Qing was fully armed, with Bai Buxin and ten crossbowmen standing beside him, and in front of him, two thousand five hundred soldiers stood neatly.
"Lin Chong!" His voice was sonorous and powerful.
"The last general!"
"You lead 500 acrobatics and those who are not skilled in acrobatics to guard the camp, and you are not allowed to leave the camp without permission!"
"Order!" Although Lin Chong replied loudly, the boss was dissatisfied in his heart. At the critical moment, he took the turn of a messenger to guard the camp.
Wei Qing did not continue to issue orders to other generals, but stared at Lin Chong: "If my army wins, you might as well open a camp to meet your own commander, if our army fails, you have to defend the camp to the death and fight to the last soldier, do you understand?" ”
Lin Chong's spirit perked up: "The last general understands!" If the guerrilla fails, the last general swears to live and die with the battalion! At this moment, he understood that what Wei Qing gave him was not the least important task, but the most important task, he was the last line of defense!
Wei Qing looked at the general officer standing in front of the sergeant, and he pointed to the crossbowman beside him with his hand: "These ten crossbowmen, the shooting is very accurate, I have ordered, they have only one task: if any officer or non-commissioned officer dares to retreat or hesitate when charging, do not need to ask me, shoot directly!" Did you hear me clearly? ”
"Hear me clearly!" The officers of the colonel replied in unison.
"Huadu commanded 800 people for the left army, Li Du commanded 800 people for the right army, look at the banner of our Chinese army, the banner is shaking, the whole army is attacking, no one can retreat without an order! Bai Dutong and I led 400 troops as the Chinese army, sitting in the rear! ”
After assigning the task, he looked up at the sky, the sun had risen more than three poles, it was already the hour, and it was time to attack.
"Let's go!" He commanded loudly.
That's his plan. Everyone knew that after harassing the enemy overnight, he would attack when the enemy was slackening, but he didn't attack when he should have attacked. He is going to attack when the enemy thinks there is absolutely no problem, when they think they will not attack during the day, and when they are asleep, this is the best time to attack!
General Zhang led several guards and set off early in the morning to take over Wei Qing's command, and he was also very embarrassed. He knew that Wei Qing was General Liu's favorite person, and taking over power like this would be tantamount to seizing power, and Wei Qing's face would definitely not look good. But the military order is like a mountain, and he can only carry it out. He was on his horse, and his head kept thinking about what to say to Wei Qing.
"Look, my lord!" The guards beside him suddenly exclaimed. General Zhang looked up, only to see the dust and smoke in the distance, faintly shouted to kill, looking at the direction of the Jin army stronghold, the strange thing is that this shouting and killing seems to be accompanied by the sound of dogs. Could it be that Wei Qing attacked?
"Check it out!" Zhang Shen didn't have time to go to the camp first, he wanted to see what was going on there, he whipped the horse and galloped away.
Wei Qing did attack. He did not beat the drum or blow the trumpet, but only ordered the banner to wave, and 1,600 soldiers quietly ran towards the enemy barracks.
Approaching the Jin army barracks, the sound of trumpets sounded in the Jin military camp. It seems that the enemy guards have spotted the attacking party. "Drumming!" Wei Qing ordered.
The drums beat loudly. This is urging the soldiers to charge with all their might.
But this is only theoretical. Because these soldiers had long lacked restraint and training, most of them were heavy and unhurried, despite the urgency of the drumming.
Wei Qing sighed secretly. With such a force, no matter what tricks it takes, it is lucky to be able to defeat these 800 people, not to mention 3,000 people. Fortunately, as soon as he entered the camp and saw the state of the soldiers at that time, he was already prepared for this.
"Let the dogs go!" He commanded.
With the order, the cage where the dog was kept was opened. Zhao Lili whistled loudly and commanded the wild dogs to rush forward. The wild dogs had been hungry for three days, and their eyes were blood-red, and when they saw a group of soldiers running unhurriedly in front of them, they immediately barked loudly and rushed over.
This scared the Han soldiers. They did not dare to turn around and fight the wild dogs, for fear that the crossbowmen of the guerrilla guards would shoot them, so they ran forward one by one with all their might, they did not have to run past the wild dogs, as long as they made sure to run past their companions, as long as there was someone behind them, they were safe. Everyone thought so, so for a while, the whole army rushed forward frantically, and the speed was eye-popping.
Zamuhe was just about to fall asleep in a daze, suddenly heard the sound of the horn, and was shocked, only then did he know the strategy of the Han army, he jumped up, hurriedly grabbed the waist knife and rushed out of the tent, but saw that the camp was in chaos, some soldiers were lying down, and the soldiers who were awakened were confused for a while and did not know what was happening, and a few soldiers who reacted were hurriedly dressing and putting on shoes. Zamuhe rushed to the camp fence barefoot, and looked through the gap in the fence, only to see that the dust was rising, and hundreds of Han soldiers rushed over like crazy, and they were only more than ten zhang away from the fence.
He sighed, knowing that the tide was turning, and that by the time his soldiers reached the fence, their opponents were afraid that they had already entered the gate.
The soldiers of the Han army rushed forward desperately, all the way to the front of the Jin army camp fence, this camp fence is not high, only one zhang up and down, the problem is that the upper end of the fence has been sharpened, and it is impossible to start turning over it for a while.
I saw Li An squatting, his hands circled, Li Quan took two steps back, rushed forward, Li An supported his hand hard, Li Quan had already jumped up with his strength, and his body pounced forward in the air, and he had fallen into the fence. The other soldiers were overjoyed and followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, half of them had rushed into the fence, and at this time there were only dozens of Jin soldiers hurrying to the fence, most of them were still untidy and armoured, and some were even bare-handed.
Li Guang had also jumped into the fence with his strength, and as soon as he landed, he immediately led more than a dozen soldiers to rush to the gate to open the gate, and his heart was full of joy. At this moment, he understood the clever use of Wei Guerrilla to let him catch wild dogs, and the seemingly impregnable Jin military camp fence was actually easily breached.
Wei Qing saw that the whole army had arrived in front of the fence, and immediately ordered: "Crossbowmen, release arrows, shoot wild dogs!" The whole army marches! ”
The crossbowmen immediately fired arrows, and the wild dogs ran happily, but the bows and arrows were so large that they panicked and fled in all directions. Wei Qing drew his sword in his hand, took the lead, and led four hundred soldiers forward. Bai Buxin followed the left side of the team, constantly shouting loudly: "Flat-end spear, keep in formation!" ”
The four hundred men, all with spears in their hands, did not charge with all their might, but lined up in two rows and marched forward in order.
Next to the fence of the Jin army camp, the Han army is killing on a large scale, the Jin army with untidy formation and incomplete clothes and armor hurriedly went into battle, and did not arrive at the same time, there were first and last, sporadically put into battle, the Han army was already numerous, this time the numerical advantage was greater, and dozens of people in the Jin army had been killed. The other Jin troops did not dare to rush forward for a while, and the Han army took the opportunity to form a military formation in the fence and move forward step by step.
Hearing the creaking of the gate, Li Guang had already led the soldiers to open the gate, and the 800 Han troops outside the fence immediately rushed into the camp under the leadership of Hua Rong, connected with Li Guang's army formation, and pressed towards the Jin army.
Zamuhe killed three Han soldiers in a row next to the camp fence, but he was also stabbed, and the flesh and blood in his left arm were blurred, and he retreated all the way to the main force of the Jin army. He hurriedly glanced at his troops, and saw that they were all clothed and unarmoured, with helmets and bare feet, with sheaths without swords, and with bows and arrows. And you push me, there is no formation at all. He knew in his heart that this battle would be lost, but he knew that he would lose it and fight to the death, because they had no way out.
Zamuhe ordered Abuhua: "Bring one hundred and fifty men to rush up and stop the enemy!" ”
Abuhua agreed loudly, and in the confusion, about 150 or so soldiers rushed forward.
Although the Han army suffered casualties, the total number was definitely more than 1,500 people, and Zamuhe asked Abuhua to rush forward with 150 people, which can be said to be to send them to death. Why? The reason is simple, he needs time to form a team. But now that the two sides are almost hand-to-hand, how can there be time and space to form a team? The only way is to send a group of people to their deaths, using the lives of these people in exchange for the time of the whole team.
As soon as Abuhua rushed out, Zamuhe gave a loud order, ordering the remaining 500 or so men to retreat immediately, forming a whole formation as they retreated.
