Another new night fell, and the camp of the Jin army, which had experienced a great defeat during the day, was not a decaying silence, but the camp was full of songs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The ballad is a folk song south of the Yangtze River, sung in a long intonation in Wu Nong's soft language, and most of them are some love songs and the like.

The overlord Chu Jun, who was once ambushed on all sides, also sang in the night, and all kinds of songs have only one central meaning, in addition to missing their hometown, they miss their parents, wives and children.

"The morale of the military is completely over."

Xie Shi didn't send anyone to stop singing, and the soldiers singing those songs would further shake morale, but if they stopped it, it was very likely to turn into a mutiny, and the problems encountered by Xiang Ji, the overlord of Western Chu, also fell on him. He didn't like the overlord of Western Chu to drink to kill his sorrows, and he didn't have Mei Ji to stage the overlord's farewell concubine in the book, only a group of generals and colonels with the same sad faces such as Sun Sui and Xie Shang stayed in the big tent of the Chinese army dullly.

The first battle during the day did not restore the morale of the army that had wavered, on the contrary, because the morale of the defeat dropped at a faster rate, and the 20,000 shogunate troops who went out to fight only fled back to 6 or 7,000 people, and the two military governments of Fenmu and Fenwei who attacked behind lost more than 4,000 people, and the situation reported by the rest of the front was also heavy losses.

It was only two days since the Jin army crossed the Huaishui River to the north bank, and more than 30,000 troops had been lost before and after, and there were still 3,000 or 4,000 wounded in the remaining 50,000.

Not all of the troops lost by the Jin army were killed, including a group of generals such as Liu Jian, Xie Wan, and Wang Qian, and about 20,000 were captured. It is difficult to guess what the situation of the captured general was, but the captured Jin soldiers were supervised by the Han army and driven to sing around the Jin army camp, echoing the singing in the Jin army camp.

Regarding the allusion of "embattled", the generals and colonels of the Jin army who have read books are actually familiar with what the Han army intended to drive the captured soldiers of the Jin army to sing, including Xie Shi, although it is clear that there are no good countermeasures, they can only watch the morale of the army continue to be disintegrated.

"Han Army...... There will definitely be a night attack tonight. Sun Sui was still trying to fulfill the responsibility of a civilian in the army, and said: "Maybe you can use it to save morale." ”

Xie Shang said: "Setting a trap and being able to annihilate it can naturally boost the morale of the soldiers. ”

Xie Shi naturally agreed, cheered up and walked to the side of the sand table, pointed out a few positions where the Han army was most likely to attack, and said, "Brother Cong will be the commander." ”

The Jin army still has a resolute desire to fight the troops are actually not much, and they can only make up three or four thousand people, and the strange thing is that most of these people fled south from the Central Plains.

The Han army swept through the Central Plains, cleaning up and exterminating the heroes and exterminators. Those heroes who escaped from the Han army, they had to look at their geographical location, the north was to flee to the rule of Shijie Zhao, and the south was to flee to the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty forced the young men who fled south to join the army, and originally wanted to concentrate the young men who fled south to form a northern army, and then select the sons of the family to serve as officers, but the sudden southern invasion of the Han army interrupted the actions of the small court, and finally dispersed those young men and distributed them to various military offices.

Those who fled to the rule of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they naturally hated the Han army, and they worked extremely hard when they fought with the Han army, but it should be said that their hard work may not necessarily be rewarded, that is the iron rule determined by the political pattern of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it is better to work hard than to have a good tire.

Xie Shi gathered the people, and he publicly promised that this war was an opportunity to decide their fate, not to mention that meritorious service would soar, but that each family would accept meritorious service, so that the meritorious person could be protected by the gate valve or the family.

If you understand the political pattern of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is far more credible to hear that you will be protected by the gate valve or the family than to hear that the court will reward high-ranking officials and Houlu, and those who have decided to fight to the death will naturally be refreshed when they have new hopes.

The next step is for Xie Shang to coordinate and empty the original garrisons in several areas where the Han army may come to attack at night, collect firewood and other things that can fuel the fire, and then get some fire oil, so that the group of soldiers who are stimulated to have a stronger desire to fight will be stationed, and wait for the Han army to really attack the camp.

"What should I do?"

"There is no possibility of a briefing ......"

Zhao Qian was ostensibly one of the many people who fled south, but in fact he was a tun commander of the Han army, who blended into the crowd of people who fled south and came to the rule of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was also confiscated as a soldier. The person he spoke to was also from a member of the Han army, and the two met by chance. Their mission is very complex, and in general they can be called spies, and I don't know how many people have the same mission.

It is natural that there will be a lot of actions at the national level, sending people to infiltrate a certain team and go to the hostile forces to lurk, and some of the lurkers are carrying the task of sabotage, and there will inevitably be lurkers with the mission to develop in the hostile forces. The infiltrators sent by the Han State were not only aimed at the small imperial courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, such as the Shijie Zhao State and the Murong Yan State were the main infiltration targets, and the Di Fu Clan, Tuoba Daiguo and Zhang Liang State were also arranged.

"There are a lot of flammable materials in the camp that can fuel the fire!" Zhang Zhang frowned and said, "Once you rush in, you really can't get out." ”

Speaking of which, Xie Shang's heart is big enough, and he is simply arranging with the determination to let the night attack Han army have no return, and he is so determined that he is even willing to take the risk that the fire may spread to the rest of the camps, all because a victory is really extremely important to the Jin army.

Zhao Qian and Zhang Li couldn't continue to talk, they were able to talk just now because the rest of the people in the same army were withdrawn, and how could they talk again when they came back.

When Xie Shang arranged, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Han army, the camp was not to make the camp look empty, the bonfire that should be lit in the camp must be lit, and the patrol team could not be reduced, even the soldiers who should be around the bonfire did not forget, that is, some camp tents that could hide people must be hiding more soldiers.

The Jin army was ready to wait for the Han army to attack at night, they waited and waited, and the songs in the camp were sung over and over again, but when it was close to Yin, there was no movement around them.

Xie Shang, who was standing on the top of the arrow tower, was trying very hard to observe, but as time passed, his brows became more and more furrowed.

There are special places for night raids, which generally occur after the sub-hour, especially during the period of Yin, which is the most likely to occur, after all, three to five o'clock in the middle of the night is the most likely time to get sleepy.

"Wind ...... It's getting bigger. The cloak behind Xie Shang was fluttering in the wind, and the flag on the arrow tower had been blown by the wind to make a hunting sound. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, where the grass and branches were constantly shaking, and the bonfires raised by the Han army in the distance were constantly swaying by the wind: "Northwest wind! ”

The original wind direction was northwesterly, and the sudden change in wind direction was related to the climate. If there is a northwest wind in the south, it is usually a prelude to rain, and the air will become humid with the rain.

The northwest wind was bad news and good news for the Jin army. The bad news is that if you set a fire to such a wind, the wind will spread the fire to the southeast, so the fire cannot be easily set off. The good news is that the northwest wind will bring rainy weather, and when it rains, the army will basically hide from the rain instead of fighting in the rain, so the Han army will lose the opportunity to attack while the morale of the Jin army is low.

In the wilderness, the grass is really constantly swaying, and the branches and leaves of some trees that have not been cut down are also constantly swaying, and the sound of various plants rubbing in the wind carries the sound of various plants.

The wind became stronger and stronger, and the soldiers who were on the periphery of the Jin army camp had stopped singing, and they looked at the wilderness more and more frequently, and they could see the surprise in the eyes of the soldiers, as if the plants that were constantly swaying looked like the approaching Han soldiers.

Xie Shang himself was a little suspicious, he noticed that the singing of the barracks stopped, walked to the edge and looked down, and found that the number of pro-soldiers standing guard below had doubled, one after another made the highest vigilant posture, you can imagine what kind of mood the soldiers in the camp should be.

A mournful shout came out of nowhere, and Xie Shi, who was in the big tent of the Chinese army, stood up after hearing it.

"Try to get plenty of light in the camp!" Xie Shi is armor and weapons did not leave his body, he quickly walked out of the military tent and looked around, and ordered the generals who followed him: "All the kings go back to each place, be sure to restrain the soldiers." ”

The terrible shouts had come from more than one place, each with a complete sense of panic and panic, followed by the constant shouting and running of the soldiers in that place.

Zhong Hui, who was ordered to lead the army to hide outside the Jin army camp, was actually more annoyed by the blades of grass that kept shaking and scraping his face, and he could faintly feel that his face was hot and itchy.

Xu Zheng really arranged for the troops to prepare for a night attack, but he gave the generals who led the team a very flexible space, and of course they couldn't do anything, and they couldn't let it go if they had the opportunity.

The soldiers of the Han army who were preparing for the night attack used a prostrate posture to borrow the dense grass to approach two or three miles outside the Jin army camp, and lay quietly in the grass.

After the wind suddenly becomes stronger, the temperature in the autumn night has dropped a little, in fact, lying in the grass is to feel a trace of coolness, if you lie in the grass all night, the cool breeze continues to blow plus there will be dew, the body will be strong will feel the bones of the body sour the next day, and the poor physical fitness will definitely be infected with the wind cold. So, not everyone can do an ambush or something.

There are signs of camp roaring in the Jin army camp, which is discovered by the Han soldiers who are ambushed in the grass with the sudden terrible screams, and they are all refreshed after hearing the movement on the other side of the Jin army camp, and the soldiers will subconsciously look at the surrounding officers, and the officers will look for the figure of the top boss.

A terrible cry can always cause a riot somewhere in the Jin military camp, and then the entire Jin army camp seems to be shrouded in panic, Zhong Hui immediately stood up and shouted: "All soldiers, shout with me, kill!" ”

In an instant, a large number of Han soldiers suddenly stood up in the grass, and they let go of their voices and kept shouting "kill", but their feet showed no signs of moving forward.

The sudden shouting and killing sound in the wilderness made the already frightened Jin army have more fear, and it can be found that the camp roar of the Jin army camp has begun to spread inward from the edge of the camp, and even several measures urgently arranged by Xie Shi, whether it is to execute the runners or restrain the officers, in fact, the effect has been limited after the panic spreads.

Xie Shang, who led the darers to do an ambush, had already given up the ambush, and was mobilizing his troops to go to the Chinese army.

The situation of Xie Shi's Chinese army is better than other positions, and the shogunate's pro-army is Xie Shi's private army after all, although it has just experienced a big defeat, the establishment has not dispersed, and then their position will not be like the edge of the barracks There will be too much room for suspicion.

"Governor, where is Governor?" Xie Shang pushed away a group of Xie guards, saw Xie Shi and immediately walked over, and said: "Fear has spread to the whole army, and the soldiers think it is the Han army when they see any wind and grass, and the chaos cannot be stopped. ”

Because of Xie Shang's words, all the grass and trees can be regarded as appearing, but it is not the same as the background that should appear in history.

In fact, Xie Shi has been rewarded, the Han army has beaten the war drums, a large number of Han troops have raised torches out of the camp, the night battle on the left and right flanks has broken out, and the own troops who have fallen into the camp roar cannot resist effectively, and soon the left and right flanks should be lost.

"Governor, don't do anything." Xie Shang looked quite calm, and said with a very convincing expression: "Stay in the green mountains and be afraid of no firewood, or do you want to retreat to the south bank first?" ”

The wind continued to howl, and all kinds of noisy sounds gathered together and then swept up by the wind, sounding like ten thousand ghosts were howling.

Xie Shi's face was cloudy, he put himself in his shoes, there was no reason for the Han army to give up the excellent opportunity for the Jin army to have a camp roar, and it was bound to take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack overnight. The Jin army had fallen into chaos, it was basically impossible to resist effectively, and the war had really developed to the point of no return, and it became a difficult choice whether to stay and go to the battlefield with the whole army, or to evacuate as many troops as possible.

The Han army really won't let go of this excellent opportunity, and after Xu Zheng found out that the Jin army camp was roaring, he took a moment to mobilize, and the first to dispatch was the cavalry. The cavalry was coordinated with the ambush soldiers who were originally ambushed and prepared for a night attack, and the moment they charged, the Jin army camp in front of them was actually a fire, which was the flammable material prepared by Xie Shang was ignited in the chaos, and there were already quite a lot of flammable materials, and then there was a strong wind that quickly spread.

The burning fire blocked the Han army's offensive route, and no matter how many Han troops arrived, they could only stand in place in anger and stare dryly.

If you look down from the sky, you can see that the fire is swept away from the north to the southeast, I don't know how many Jin soldiers fell into the fire, not counting those who were burned to death, there are everywhere who become fire people and are still screaming miserably......
