Chapter 119: Night Attack (5)
A moment later, under the orders of Master Zhao's father, Xu Jun and Zhao Yuan's second generals immediately led thousands of Zhao soldiers to cross the river to meet Meng Zhong, Le Yi and five hundred Xinwei soldiers who were in the Qi camp at this moment.
During the period when thousands of Zhao soldiers crossed the river, Lord Zhao's father admired the fire on the other side of the camp with admiration, and at the same time thought about the punishment of Meng Zhong and Le Yi.
Punishment, that is definitely to be punished, without a military order, without the authorization of the troops, arbitrarily decided to camp the army, if this kind of thing is not severely punished, his Zhao army's military discipline is not completely messed up?
On the other hand, the reward is also to be rewarded, for Meng Zhong and Le Yi only led 500 soldiers to successfully sneak attack the joint camp of the Qi army, even if Tian Touch, the commander of the Qi army opposite, is not a famous general, it is enough for Meng Zhong and Le Yi to become famous in the world.
However, for the final reward and punishment, Master Zhao had to wait for Meng Zhong and Le Yi to return victoriously, and asked the reason why the two acted without permission, and then made a decision.
As for before that......
"Huh! What a breathless boy...... That's it, let me see how far you and other juniors can go. โ
Seeing that Meng Zhong and the others should not be in much danger for the time being, and he had already sent an army to respond, Master Zhao simply stood on the bank of the river, with his hands behind his back and enjoying the spectacular "scenery" of the camp on the opposite bank.
"It's a pity that there is no alcohol at the moment, otherwise it would ......"
Muttering to himself, a trace of regret flashed across Master Zhao's face.
At the same time, the 500 Xinwei army led by Meng Zhong and Le Yi had already penetrated the five camps of Qiying's western, middle, northern, southern, and eastern camps.
I have to say that although Meng Zhong's actions are bold, his thoughts are still really thoughtful.
He knew very well that there were at least thirty or forty thousand Qi battalions in this camp, so he adopted a one-shot strategy to create chaos as much as possible, rather than slaughtering the Qi soldiers in the camp, which made the Qi soldiers and soldiers still not understand how many Zhao troops had attacked them, and the unknown fear made the Qi soldiers and soldiers scatter and trample on each other, not to mention organizing people to resist the breakthrough of the Xinwei army, and those Qi soldiers did not even care about the fire that was burning more and more in the camp.
When they waited until around the ugly hour, Meng Zhong and Le Yi killed the place where Qi Juntun put grain and grass by feeling, and burned all the mountains of grain and grass with a fire.
I have to say that it is really a pity to watch the mountains of grain and grass burned.
"Almost, Ah Zhong?"
Watching the grain and grass gradually turn to ashes, Le Jin shouted to Meng Zhong on the other chariot.
Meng Zhong didn't do anything, just stood on the chariot, looking intently at the various camps in the camp, listening to the noisy voices.
From the noisy shouts, Meng Zhong felt that the various camps in Qi Camp should not have formed effective countermeasures, and even the fire in the camp was not under control.
So, he smiled and said, "How about killing back the way you came?" โ
Hearing his words, Wu Ying, Hua Hu, Mu Wu, and Meng Sui looked at each other, but Meng Hu, who had never been afraid of big things, supported Meng Zhong's decision with an excited face.
"Ah Zhong, wouldn't it be too risky?"
Meng Sui frowned and said: "Now that our army has won the whole army, if there are unnecessary casualties among the soldiers because of greed for merit......"
Meng Zhong raised his hand to interrupt Meng Sui's words, pointed to the direction of the Qi camp and explained: "You look at all parts of the Qi camp, there is still chaos at the moment, if our army returns the original way, it will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the Qi army in the camp again......
On the side, Le Yi frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, agreeing with Meng Zhong's statement.
After discussing the decision, I saw Meng Zhong raise his sword high and point to the way he came, and shouted at the nearby Xinwei soldiers: "Gentlemen, do you still have the strength to kill back along the way you came?!" โ
"I am willing to follow Sima!"
Although the strength of the Zhuxin Guards was very depleted, not a single soldier flinched at this time.
On the contrary, their morale is high and they are invincible.
Seeing this, Meng Zhong slapped the railing on the chariot with his sword and shouted, "Good! Then kill it again! โ
"Wowโโ!"
Five hundred Guards shouted.
As a result, the Xinwei soldiers divided into two routes, with Meng Zhong, Wu Ying, Meng Hu, and Meng Sui leading half of the soldiers attacking each camp in the order of "north-middle-south-east-middle-west", and the other half of the soldiers led by Le Yi, Huahu, Mu Wu, and Le Jin attacked the camps in the order of "north-east-south-middle-west", and finally met in the west camp area to evacuate together.
"Dodge, dodge, dodge!"
In the Mengzhong team, Menghu, who was appointed as the vanguard, took the lead in the first car, and went hand in hand with the rest of the military vehicles, clearing the way for the foot soldiers behind the car.
As Meng Zhong judged, the middle camp was still in chaos - this was because the commander of the Qi army, Tian Tu, had already fled the place under the protection of his guards, so that the Qi soldiers in the middle camp were leaderless, let alone take effective countermeasures, and there was not even anyone to stop the frightened Qi soldiers from pushing and trampling on each other.
When Meng Zhong rode past the middle camp in a military chariot, he clearly saw a famous Qi soldier being squeezed to the ground by his peers, and in an instant, I don't know how many people trampled on him, so that those soldiers were trampled on the ground and spat blood from their mouths.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang!"
During the chariot rampage, I don't know how many Qi soldiers were knocked to the ground, and they were immediately run over by the chariot's wheels.
In this chaotic and tense moment, Meng Zhong didn't care about anything else, brandished the sword in his hand and kept slashing at a famous Qi pawn, at this time he finally truly understood the words of Master Zhao's father - as a commander, he must first ensure that the soldiers under his command are as low as possible to reduce losses.
If killing ten people can protect the life of one of your own soldiers, it is worth it!
As for mercy......
On the battlefield, there is no mercy to the enemy!
"Don't fight, rush over!"
During the return of the original road, Meng Zhong stood on top of the chariot and kept reminding the soldiers of the Xinwei under his command.
I have to say that all the way through the camps of the Qi army, even if they are the soldiers of the Xinwei who have undergone physical training, they are already out of breath at this moment, and many soldiers just grit their teeth with a passion in their chests to follow, which is also the reason why Meng Zhong does not dare to fight.
In just half an hour, the middle camp was broken by Meng Zhong for the second time, only to see that in a sea of fire, Meng Zhong led more than 200 Xinwei soldiers to shout loudly, bluffing the Qi soldiers who were several times or even more than ten times their number and fled in a hurry.
When Meng Zhong arrived at the southern camp, the Qi general Gao Jian was gathering troops in the southern camp, trying to expel the Zhao army that had invaded the camp, but before he could control the chaos in the southern camp, Meng Zhong led more than 200 Xinwei troops to kill again, so that the Qi soldiers and soldiers that the Qi general Gao Jian had finally gathered were broken in one face.
Seeing this scene, General Qi scolded angrily, scolding Zhao Jun for being despicable and shameless, and actually taking advantage of his Qi army's defenselessness to sneak attack the camp.
I saw that in a group of Qi pawns who were scattering and fleeing, Gao Jian stood in place, scolding loudly, and at the same time ordering the nearby Qi troops to gather around him and form a formation again, which seemed to stand out from the crowd, so that Meng Zhong discovered this Qi general at once.
"That man doesn't seem to be a low rank."
After thinking about it in his heart, Meng Zhong immediately signaled to the soldiers who were driving, and drove the chariot straight towards Gao Lian.
"Generals be careful!"
Or one of the guards exclaimed.
After receiving the alarm, General Qi Gao Chuan suddenly raised his head, and saw three or four chariots rushing straight towards him, and on the first chariot, an extremely young general of the Zhao army was looking at him with murderous eyes.
"Are you eyeing me high? Hum! I don't know how thick the sky is!'
Gao Jian sneered secretly, clenched the sword in his hand, and tried to kill the Zhao pawn who regarded him as his prey.
However, the next breath, he was stunned.
Because he could clearly see that the other party had taken a crossbow from his back and aimed it at him......
"Poofโ"
The bolt pierces through the armor and into the human body.
"Humble ......"
Before Gao Lian could scold, the oncoming chariot galloped past, only to see the sharp sword in the hand of the young Zhao pawn, slashing through his neck accurately and quickly.
"Poof-" Blood splattered.
At the same time, Zhao generals Zhao Yuan and Xu Jun had led thousands of Zhao troops to kill Qi Ying.
Originally, they were ordered by Master Zhao to take over the Xinwei army of Meng Zhong and Le Yi, but when they entered the Qi camp to take a look, they were stunned to see that there was chaos in the camp.
And the most incredible thing is that Xu Jun and Zhao Yuan actually didn't see any Xinwei soldiers in Xiying, those soldiers who pushed each other, trampled, and even killed each other were actually Qi soldiers.
This......
The credit of picking it up for nothing!
Xu Jun and Zhao Yuan glanced at each other, and immediately ordered his soldiers to attack the camp.
With the addition of these two Zhao generals' fresh troops, the Qi camp was even more chaotic, and a large number of Qi soldiers were frightened by the unknown number of Zhao troops, mistakenly thinking that the entire Zhao army was dispatched, so that they abandoned the camp and fled.
This made it easy for generals Xu Jun and Zhao Yuan to capture the western camp and expel all the Qi troops in the camp.
About half an hour later, Xu Jun and Zhao Yuan arrived at the Chinese army, and successively joined the Xinwei soldiers led by Meng Zhong and Le Yi.
To tell the truth, unlike Meng Zhong and Le Yi, who only wanted to sneak attack the Qi camp, Xu Jun and Zhao Yuan wanted to rob the camp, but the fire in the camp was too big to extinguish, so they could only change their minds and support the Xinwei army led by Meng Zhong, Le Yi and others, and slowly evacuated.
At this time, it was already around the end of the day, and there was already a slight glimmer of light on the horizon.
At the right moment, under the order of Zhao's father, Zhao Zhang, the king of Anyang, commanded tens of thousands of Zhao troops to cross the river.
At this time, the Qi general Tian Touch had gathered a group of fleeing Qi troops outside the camp, originally planning to recapture the camp, but suddenly heard that the Zhao army was attacking, and in desperation, he ordered his general Tian Mo to lead thousands of defeated troops to withdraw into Zhuke County, and he himself led more defeated troops to retreat thirty miles and re-establish the camp.
After the sky was bright, Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang led 20,000 Zhao troops to attack Zhuke County, Qi general Tian Mo and his defeated army had no intention of defending, and after hastily defending for half an hour, Zhuke County was broken by the Zhao army.
In just one night, the Qi army lost the entire embankment of the river, leaving at least a radius of 50 miles to be captured by the Zhao army.
And the biggest hero is the 500 Xinwei army led by Meng Zhong and Le Yi.
These more than 500 people attacked a Qi camp with tens of thousands of soldiers stationed at night, and turned the entire Qi camp upside down.
Such feats cannot be denied dwarfing the 150,000 Zhao army.
I believe that after today, the 150,000 Zhao army will no longer dare to underestimate Meng Zhong, Le Yi and others, as well as the Xinwei army led by them.
Zhao Wushu, no longer just mockery and ridicule!
