Chapter 158: Late Night Camp

The northern part of Guanzhong, which is close to Longshan, has a lot of snow every year in winter.

In the pouring snow, the army led by the king of Fengrong Yougu came to the city of Qianyi, and this time they did not attack the city directly, but stopped less than a mile away from the city.

"All the soldiers obeyed the order and set up camp here." After arriving at the place, the king of the right valley commanded.

Yes?

When Feng Rong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. The Marquis of the Left Bone was killed by the Qin people, it should be to avenge him!

How did the king of the valley order to stop advancing?

"King Gu Li, aren't we going to attack the Qin people?" His guard asked.

"If you come from so much, you can do whatever you want." The right valley Li Wang said.

"The villain talks a lot, the villain talks a lot." The guards hurriedly apologized, and then ran over to convey the order of the king of Guli, "The king of Guli has an order, the army stops advancing and camps on the spot." ”

Camped?

Although the Fengrong soldiers were surprised, since there was already an order from above, they couldn't say anything, so they stopped advancing and camped on the spot.

Qianyi.

Ying Kai, Zhao Boyu, Ying Zhao and others who were standing at the head of the city also saw the Fengrong army not far away.

"Sima, as expected, Feng Rong sent troops over again." Pointing to the army in the distance, Zhao Boyu opened his way to Ying.

"Order the defenders, get ready for battle." Ying Kai said.

"No---"

When Zhao Boyu returned to Yingkai after conveying the order, he did not see the Fengrong army besieging the city.

"What's going on?" Zhao Boyu couldn't help asking, "The enemy didn't attack Qianyi?" ”

Ying Kai didn't answer, and quietly looked at the Fengrong army in the distance.

They're already under the city, so why don't they just attack? Instead, set camp? This approach stumped the Qin army, who had made all kinds of preparations, and I didn't know what to do?

A morning passed, and the Fengrong army not far away basically did not move, neither advancing nor retreating.

Ying Kai and the others really couldn't wait for the pace of the enemy's attack, so they had to go back to their homes for dinner.

Back in the house, his subordinates had already prepared the meal, and Yingkai, Yingzhao, and Zhao Boyu discussed while eating.

"Third uncle, what do you say Feng Rong wants to do?" Ying asked Ying Zhao.

"After several battles, Feng Rong's morale was seriously dampened, and they were not willing to stop the army, but they did not dare to attack again, so they had to garrison the army under Qianyi City and wait and see." Yingzhao analyzed.

"The third uncle said that after a morning of observation, I see that the Fengrong army does not have any major moves, except for lighting a fire and cooking, I have not seen the appearance of dispatching troops."

"They have failed several times, where do they still have the courage to attack our Qin army again?" After listening to Yingzhao's analysis, Zhao Boyu came to his senses, and his voice became louder.

"Wait-and-see is the most terrible trick." After listening to Zhao Boyu's words, Ying Kai said coldly.

Wait-and-see is the most terrible trick?

Zhao Boyu looked at Yingkai with wide eyes, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The Fengrong army is not a simple wait-and-see at all, but a kind of waiting for the opportunity to move."

After listening to Yingkai's analysis, Zhao Boyu said fiercely: "What a vicious dog thief, it seems that you can't relax your vigilance!" ”

Ying Zhao thought for a moment and said, "If this enemy doesn't retreat, what should we do?" The grain and grass brought back from the scattered countries can only last until the end of the year, and if the enemy does not leave, it will be difficult for us. ”

"I'm worried about this too, we can't sit idly by, isn't the enemy watching us? Then we will also observe them well, and once we find their flaws, we will take the initiative to attack and catch him off guard. ”

Waste is actually one of the most helpless methods.

When you can't fight, scold, or fight, you will take this lowest-end method. Do you say he's throwing in the towel, it doesn't seem to be; You said he didn't admit defeat, and it doesn't seem to be.

Anyway, at this time, the Qin people in Guanzhong and Feng Rong from the north were consumed, and no one wanted to withdraw for a while.

More than a month has passed, it is already the depths of winter, and the defenders on the city wall are staring at the Fengrong army on the opposite side with wide eyes every day, but they have no intention of withdrawing at all, they should eat and drink, and the days are quite beautiful.

At this time, Zhao Boyu, who was in charge of guarding the city, couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly walked into Yingkai's mansion, "Lord Sima, it's not okay to go on like this!" ”

"So what do you say you should do?" Ying Kai asked rhetorically.

"Why don't we lead troops to attack Fengrong's camp tonight, and set fire to the camp at night?"

Set fire to the camp?

In fact, they also talked about setting fire to the camp together, but at the time they just talked about it, and they didn't take it seriously.

Now Zhao Boyu put this forward very officially, but he took the test for Yingkai, "Set fire to the camp, have you ever thought about the consequences?" ”

"What are the consequences, it's a big deal to provoke Feng Rong, we are just going to have a big war, what other consequences can there be?" Zhao Boyuan said disdainfully.

That is, ah, nothing more than to provoke the enemy, what is there to fear?

Ying Kai thought for a while and said: "Don't rush to burn the camp, I mean you will take people to the vicinity of Fengrong's camp tonight to take a look at the enemy's defenses, and then it's not too late to make plans." Remember, don't disturb the enemy. ”

"Understood." With that, Zhao Boyu walked out.

It was already late at night, and there was no sound left around Longchuan except for the wolf howls that flickered far and near.

In order not to alarm the enemy, before going out, Yingkai specially explained that several people should not only put grass in the horse's mouth to prevent the enemy's attention because of the horse's sound, but also wrap the horse's hooves with cloth to reduce the sound of the horse's hooves trampling.

After making these preparations, Zhao Boyu took four of his subordinates and quietly left Qianyi City.

I didn't go far south out of the city and came to the camp of Fengrong.

The winter night is long, and the middle of the night is when everyone sleeps the deadest, when the soldiers and horses led by Zhao Boyu came to the Fengrong camp, there were bursts of snoring around the whole tent.

Zhao Boyu and the others dismounted and explained to the entourage: "Let's go over and have a look." ”

The other three handed over their horses to one of them and followed Zhao Boyu towards the Fengrong camp, which was not like the camp of the Central Plains country. The tents of the Central Plains countries should be fenced around them, and there should be soldiers guarding them at the gates.

Rong Di did it simply, all this was not needed, he chose a leeward and sunny hillside to tie the camp tent directly on it, and there was no need for simple protective facilities such as fences around it. This seems simple, but it is also very practical, so that Feng Rong soldiers can come and go on horseback.

"Head, there's not a single defender here."

"When is the time, the night watch has already nested in the tent to sleep." Zhao Boyu said.

"So what do we do?" The subordinate asked.

"Let's go take a look."

A few people walked lightly into the tent.

The whole tent was silent, except for the sound of snoring in the distance and the howl of wolves in the distance.

"Head, these people are sleeping like dead pigs, or we will burn their tents with a fire."

These people slept so hard that even if the camp was burned, few people would get up.

"Head, can you give me a word?" Seeing that Zhao Boyu didn't speak, his subordinates said again.

"No, Sima only asked us to inquire about the news, and didn't let us burn the camp, so let's hurry back to the camp." Zhao Boyu said, and led people out of Fengrong's camp in a hurry.
