Chapter 643: The Tragedy Caused by the Last Laxity
When the sound of war drums and a large number of horses' hooves sounded again, the soldiers of the Liu Song army in the camp were shocked and uneasy.
"General, there is the sound of horses' hooves this time, listen, it's getting closer and closer!" The surrounding soldiers said to the leading general.
The leading general gritted his teeth and ordered: "Release the arrows-"
The soldiers obeyed the order, and the archers, under the orders of the generals and the commanders, shot their arrows outside the camp, one after another, and the top did not stop, and they never stopped, as if they had to shoot all the arrows in one breath to feel at ease.
Listening to the sound of countless arrows flying to the ground, Guo Sheng and Chang Kun both laughed, at this time, the soldiers of the cadre army were ready, once the arrow rain stopped, they would go over and collect the arrows again.
By the time General Liu Song in the camp realized that something was wrong, it was too late, and the archers had already finished shooting their arrows.
Guo Sheng looked at the situation in the camp and sighed: "The arrow was borrowed, but Liu Songjun in this camp is more vigilant, and if he wants to rush in, I'm afraid it's not easy, and he has to come a few more times, so that they are exhausted before they can start!" In this way, General Chang, leave one army after another to continue to harass this camp, let's go to the next camp to see if we can't be deceived by Liu Songjun's arrows."
"Yes!"
In fact, Guo Sheng and Chang Kun also know that this strategy is only effective for the suspicious and sick generals who lead the troops, and some generals are the masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and the enemy doesn't see them and just release arrows indiscriminately, isn't this a fool's behavior?
As the two guessed, when Guo Sheng and Chang Kun came to the vicinity of the second camp with their generals and began to beat drums and feign a night attack, General Liu Song in the second camp was also shocked at first, and immediately ordered the archers to fire ten thousand arrows at once, but after shooting more than ten rounds of arrows, even the shadows of the soldiers and generals of the cadres were not cut, and the general Liu Song knew that he had been fooled and immediately ordered to stop firing arrows.
Chang Kun and Guo Shengsheng collected the arrows, and then beat the drum first, and then ordered the soldiers to beat the horses and run back and forth outside the land of an arrow, this time General Liu Song was not fooled, Chang Kun had to order the soldiers to stop beating horses and running.
"Look, the old man just doesn't everyone be fooled, Liu Songjun still has smart people!" Guo Sheng said to Chang Kun.
Chang Kun took off his helmet and scratched the back of his head, and asked, "Old general, what are we going to do next?" ”
Guo Sheng said with a smile: "Regardless of whether this strategy is effective or not, its purpose has been achieved, that is, to attack Liu Songjun and make them unable to rest in peace, isn't this the purpose of our coming?" Let's continue to do it, do it a few more times, and when Liu Songjun finds out that we are just bluffing and not really trying to attack them, their vigilance will be reduced, and then we will have a chance! ”
"Understood, walk!"
Guo Sheng and Chang Kun kept busy outside the various camps of Liu Songjun's army, using the same method to deceive many arrows, but they also failed twice, but this was undoubtedly a successful attack on Liu Songjun.
In the middle of the night, Liu Song's army of 70,000 or 80,000 horses lined up in a military formation and waited in the camp, without a moment of rest, the cold wind was howling, and the soldiers and generals were simply guilty.
Using the same method several times in a row, the vigilance of Liu Songjun down to the ordinary soldiers and the generals was somewhat relaxed, and after three or four times, the generals of Liu Song were not impressed, and one by one yawned and asked the chiefs, generals and military masters to return to the camp to rest.
"Dashuai, in the opinion of the last general, it is better to let the soldiers go back to the camp to rest, you see this has been several times, the cadres and troops are only thundering and not raining, their purpose is already very clear, that is, to make the soldiers sleep, so that the soldiers have no energy to fight with them tomorrow, we can't fall for them!" General Gao Jinzhi persuaded Tan Daoji.
Tan Daoji frowned, and he asked rhetorically: "What if the soldiers are allowed to rest in the camp, and the cadres really kill them?" How to resist? ”
Gao Jinzhi was speechless.
Tan Daoji is a cautious person by nature, he thought for a long time, and said to Gao Jinzhi: "Let the soldiers hold on tonight, let's hang up the free battle card tomorrow, and then let the soldiers have a good rest!" In order to guard against the cavalry raid of the dry army, we must arrange a large number of traps and traps outside the camp, and dig trenches, so we need time, you go and give the order to the soldiers, hold on for one night, and wait for us to deploy the defense facilities tomorrow, and you can sleep peacefully at night! ”
"Yes!" Gao Jinzhi could only agree.
The 3,000 cavalry of the cadre army, under the leadership of Guo Sheng and Chang Kun, made trouble outside the camp of Liu Songjun all night, and the Liu Song army in the camp did not sleep all night, although in the second half of the night they yawned one by one, and the cadres outside the camp were only bluffing, but the upper authorities just did not let them enter the camp tent to rest.
At dawn, the general of the camp in the east felt that the sky was about to dawn, and the cadres should not really attack, right? With this kind of luck mentality, the general of the East Battalion was the first to order the soldiers to enter the camp to rest.
The soldiers of Liu Songjun, who marched all day during the day and stayed up all night at night, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep one by one after entering the camp.
"Report - General Qiyu, the men and horses of Liu Songjun's eastern battalion have all entered the camp tent to rest!" A sentry came over to report to Guo Sheng and Chang Kun.
Guo Sheng smiled at Chang Kun and said, "General Chang, I didn't expect that the army would be withdrawn and returned to the camp soon, and Liu Songjun also sent us a chance!" ”
Chang Kun was a little worried: "Old general, will there be fraud?" ”
Guo Sheng smiled: "Liu Songjun's every move in the camp is watched by our spies, what actions can they not hide from us, what can they deceive?" Besides, even if they set up an ambush in the camp, would you, General Chang, be afraid? Your 3,000 men are all cavalry, and you can break them down with a few consecutive waves of arrows! ”
"It's done!" Chang Kun hammered his palm, and immediately led the men and horses to kill Liu Song's eastern camp.
Yishi's cavalry rushed to the wall of Liu Song's eastern camp at a very fast speed, and they made a sharp turn near and threw out the lassos in their hands, and one by one the lassos were put on the wooden pillars of the wall.
"Enemy attack, release arrows!" The archers of Liu Songjun on the arrow tower released arrows one after another, the number of people was too small, the arrows were too few, where could they shoot in the panic?
The drums outside the camp sounded, and the generals of Liu Song's army, who had just fallen asleep, thought that the cadres did not want them to sleep, so they pretended not to hear them one by one, and continued to sleep under blankets.
But the real attack began, dozens of knights dragged the lasso to beat the horses and gallop together, and there was only a row of fences in the weak part of the wall, which could withstand the pull of dozens of war horses, only to hear a loud bang in the darkness, and the fence fell.
"Brothers, rush in with me and kill—" Chang Kun carried a three-pointed two-edged knife and roared to kill Liu Song's eastern camp.
"Boom ······" A large number of horses' hooves sounded from far and near, like thunder rolling.
The soldiers and generals of Liu Song are too familiar with this kind of sound of horses' hooves, and it was this kind of sound of horses' hooves that made a lot of noise all night last night, where do they still take it to heart, continue to sleep.
Chang Kun rushed into the eastern camp of Liu Song's army with 3,000 cavalry like a whirlwind, "swishing ······" A wave of arrows fired, and the sentries, patrolmen, and archers on the nearby wall were all killed.
The cavalry rushed into the camp, and with their spears they knocked over the braziers in the camp, and the iron braziers fell to the ground and set fire to the nearby tents, which were set on fire and smoke.
Under the leadership of Chang Kun, the cavalry of the cadre army drove straight in, and all the braziers along the way were overturned, and the camp tents were set on fire, and the Liu Song soldiers in the burning camp turned into fire men and rushed out of the burning camp tent.
At this time, Liu Songjun in the Dongda Camp realized that the cadres had really come in, and the entire Dongda Camp was in chaos in an instant, and the Liu Song soldiers ran out of the camp tents, but they were hit by waves of arrows from the cadres and soldiers.
Pieces of Liu Song's army were shot down, and a large area of Liu Song's army was rushed in by Chang Kun and the cavalry of the cadre army to kill them, and the camp was in chaos, and the leading general could not organize effective resistance at all.
The soldiers of Liu Song fled in all directions in order to survive, and when someone in front of them blocked the way, they wielded knives and slashed, shot arrows, pushed down, trampled to death, killed and trampled on each other, and countless people died.
At dawn, Chang Kun led the cavalry of the cadre army away, and the whole raid process only lasted half an hour.
Liu Song Jundong camp was in a mess, heavy casualties, countless wails and screams kept coming out, although the cavalry of the cadre army left, but the chaos and fighting did not stop, the Liu Song soldiers and generals who had fought for the escape route were red-eyed when they fought each other, and they couldn't listen to it at all, the whole camp was like a bombing camp, the leading generals and other generals could not stop it, and whoever stopped it had the possibility of being cut down by those soldiers and generals who had already killed the red-eyed soldiers.
It wasn't until dawn that Tan Daoji personally brought the soldiers and generals of the Zhongda Battalion to come and forcibly suppress them, which calmed down the chaos in the East Battalion.
Guo Sheng and Chang Kun returned to the camp with the generals, and after settling the soldiers and horses, they rushed to report to Zhao Junsheng.
"Hahaha, the two of you have worked well together, give you both a big credit!" Zhao Junsheng laughed and praised.
The two clasped their fists together: "Thank you, King!" ”
Zhao Junsheng said: "Don't participate in today's daytime battle, go back to the camp and eat and drink enough to sleep well, and this king will personally lead the army to attack Liu Song's army!" ”
Chang Kun clenched his fists and said: "King, the last general is not sleepy or tired at all, let the last general be with the king!" ”
"The last general too!" Guo Sheng also clenched his fists and said.
Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "You don't have to do anything, obey the military order!" ”
The two had no choice but to agree: "Yes, the last general will retire!" ”
After the soldiers had breakfast, Zhao Junsheng ordered the army to assemble, leaving 5,000 infantry to guard the camp, and set off with the remaining 12,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry to march towards the camp of Liu Song's army.
"Newspaper-" When he was on the march, a horse sentry galloped over and reported to Zhao Junsheng: "King Qiyu, Liu Songjun hangs a war-free card outside the camp gate!" ”
