"Rush with me—" Zhao Junsheng slapped his horse and shouted, and the whole person rode out like a sharp arrow.

Some of them were holding spears with fierce expressions, some of them were holding their swords and shouting, and some of them were following behind and firing arrows at the positions where the Song army was stationed.

"Whoosh ······" The arrows of both sides were shot back and forth, and from time to time the soldiers of the Song army were shot down on the position, and some of the cavalry of the charging cadres were also shot by arrows and fell from their horses from time to time.

Seeing that he rushed to the edge of a trench, he must have been looking for death when he slowed down at this time, either he was killed by the arrows on the Song army's position, or he couldn't control the speed and fell into the trench.

Zhao Junsheng lifted the reins, the war horse let out a neigh, retreated and suddenly exerted force, crossed the two-meter-wide trench and rushed to the Song army's position, just landed and saw that he was about to hit a wooden fence, Zhao Junsheng shouted, the spear in his hand stabbed forward, and the wooden fence that was tied up in a hurry was easily lifted by Zhao Junsheng, and a large piece of wooden fence on the left and right also fell.

Zhao Junsheng rushed into the flock like a fierce tiger, and the soldiers of the Song Army were so frightened that they were at a loss, and in the blink of an eye, they saw more than a dozen gun shadows shaking, and more than a dozen Song soldiers were stabbed to the ground.

"Ahh

At this moment, a large number of cavalry of the cadre army followed Zhao Junsheng and rushed to the position of the Song army.

Crossing a trench only two meters wide and a makeshift fence more than a meter high was simply not too easy for a well-trained cavalryman.

The large-scale battle began, a group of Song soldiers under the leadership of Mao Jianping barely resisted for a while, the cavalry of the dry army only carried out two rounds of sprints, one round from the front, and the discussion from the flank, and in an instant the Song soldiers who had lost their protection were scattered.

The soldiers of the Song army, who were in a mess, were beheaded like lambs by the cavalry of the dry army, and fell to the ground weakly one by one.

Of the 1,000-strong blocking force, more than 600 were killed, and more than 300 surrendered and were captured in the process of escaping.

By the time the pursuing cavalry returned to the assembly with the captives, it was already dark.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the sky and said: "The sky has already darkened, and if you want to pursue it, you may be ambushed by Liu Songjun, this Li Dan is very good at seizing the opportunity and blocking our army until dark at the cost of this thousand people, so he can take the opportunity to escape overnight!" ”

Li Bao put away the big axe and came over and asked, "Your Majesty, then should we pursue it overnight, or should we rest on the spot and chase it again tomorrow morning?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Of course it's a rest on the spot, do you really want to pursue it overnight?" In case Li Shan is ambushed somewhere with his men and horses, wouldn't you fall into his trap by chasing him overnight? ”

"Uh······ Yes, Your Majesty is wise! ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Pass the order, arrange the vigilance and patrol, use the original defense facilities of this position to camp on the spot, rest here all night tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning to continue the pursuit!" ”

"Yes!"

On the high ground where Chen Xian was stationed, the sky was also dark at this time.

One by one, the general climbed to the watchtower and sat next to Chen Xian and whispered: "Join the army, the brothers have all eaten dry food, tell me what we are going to do tonight!" ”

Chen Xian swallowed the last mouthful of dry food, picked up the water bag and poured a mouthful of water, with the dry food in his stomach, Chen Xian felt that the hunger gradually disappeared, he clapped his hands and stood up and said: "Pass the order, except for the necessary sentry, everyone will put me into the tent and sleep!" ”

"Ah······ This ······" The general was dumbfounded.

Chen Xian waved his hand: "Ah what? Execute the command! ”

The general straightened up: "No! ”

Nearly half an hour later, the camp of the cadres in the distance of the high ground was still brightly lit.

The report of the observation post was delivered to the commander Cao Ming on time.

"Commander Qian, the Song army on the high ground seems to be asleep, even those sentry posts seem to be dozing, and the entire Song army camp seems to be very quiet!"

The report of the observation post made the commander Cao Ming fall into deep thought, Cao Ming is not a talented general, otherwise he would not have been in his forties to get into the position of commander of a thousand years, but he has an advantage that is not an advantage, that is, he does things according to the rules and will not take risks easily.

The task given to him by Yang Lie was to take these thousand cavalry to contain Chen Xian's 2,000 Song army infantry, "Remember, it is containment, as long as Chen Xian's two thousand people do not pose a threat to the main force, don't provoke him easily without permission!" ”

When Yang Lie left, he said that what he said made Cao Ming very puzzled at first, if there was a chance to annihilate Chen Xianbu, would he have to be indifferent and watch the opportunity slip away from him?

Although he was incomprehensible, Cao Ming still decided to carry out the task given to him by Yang Lie, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, this is Cao Ming's principle of doing things, and his principle of doing things is just right to deal with Chen Xian at this moment.

A general next to him said to Cao Ming: "Commander of the Thousand Commanders, it seems that the Song army is exhausted, and they fell asleep so early, the last general suggested that it is better to wait until the middle of the night to attack the camp and annihilate the two thousand Song troops in one fell swoop. ”

Cao Ming asked rhetorically: "How can you know that this is not Chen Xian's plan to lure the enemy?" ”

"Ah, this ······" The general really didn't expect this, and couldn't help but scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.

Cao Ming thought for a while and ordered: "Order, the whole battalion will extinguish all the lights, double the observation area of the Song army, and if the enemy sends scouts to infiltrate, kill them immediately!" If the enemy army is attacking on a large scale, warn immediately! ”

"That'······ After the lights are turned out in the whole battalion, should the soldiers go to sleep, or stay put? ”

Cao Ming thought for a while and ordered: "Tell the brothers, if you don't take off your clothes, your horses, your horses, and your weapons, except for the officials on duty, everyone will sleep peacefully in the first half of the night, and even if Song Jun wants to make a move, he will never dare to do it in the first half of the night, so that the soldiers can sleep at ease, and wait until the second half of the night to see the situation!" ”

"No!"

Soon, all the lights in the camp were suddenly extinguished one after another.

This situation was noticed by the Song Army observation post, and it was quickly reported to Chen Xian.

After hearing the report, Chen Xian fell into deep thought, "What is the purpose of the general Qianjun to extinguish the lights?" Want to fight with me? ”

There was a general next to him who said: "Joining the army, could it be that the general of the cadre army wants us to make it impossible for us to find out the reality in their camp, so that he wants to lead the troops to secretly attack our army's camp?" ”

Chen Xian said: "I don't rule out this possibility!" ”

Another general said: "I don't think it's possible, they are cavalry, we are infantry, and we have a geographical advantage, and they rush to the high ground with cavalry to sneak attack our army is an advantage of attacking us with a disadvantage, which obviously outweighs the loss!" I think the generals are only trying to lure us into attacking their camp! ”

Another general said: "No, no, no, this is very unlikely, if the generals try to lure us to attack their camp, they will not extinguish the lights, but will create the illusion that the whole camp is asleep and let our army be fooled!" Joining the army, the last general wondered, should the general of the cadre army be so bold as to let all the soldiers sleep? ”

Before Chen Xian could speak, someone immediately ridiculed: "What do you think in this brain?" No matter how stupid and bold the general of the cadre army is, he will not do this, he really can't do it when we are all dead? ”

These generals expressed their opinions one by one, Chen Xian originally had his own ideas, but as soon as these people said it, he was a little uncertain about his judgment.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xian ordered: "General Huang, you send a few capable soldiers to sneak around the camp of the cadres to investigate and see what the situation is in the camp of the cadres!" ”

Huang Yuan will clench his fists and promise: "Obey!" ”

After a while, a few capable Song soldiers were sent out to reconnoiter the situation in the camp of the cadre army.

In the camp of the Song army, from time to time there is the sound of someone waving his hand and slapping the mosquitoes, the mosquitoes at night on a hot day are too rampant, in the place where there are many mosquitoes, in the wild, mosquitoes can suck a person into a dry corpse overnight, it is really terrifying.

In the camp, including Chen Xian, all the Song soldiers were waiting for a few capable soldiers sent out to send back the news, because they did not have a special scout, so they could only choose tall ones from the short ones, Chen Xian was quite worried about this, worried that they would not be able to complete the reconnaissance mission.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Xian couldn't help but ask, "What time is it?" ”

An official next to him turned his head to look at the timer leaker next to him, and replied, "People are set for four quarters!" ”

It must be the hour of the day, after nine o'clock in the evening.

Chen Xian frowned: "It's been a full hour, why hasn't the scout sent back any news?" ”

General Huang said: "Don't be in a hurry to join the army, it may be that the reconnaissance has encountered resistance, those soldiers are the most elite and clever soldiers in the last general's camp, there should be no problems, even if you encounter an accident, you can send a message back!" ”

Chen Xian thought for a while, and then ordered: "Send another group of scouts to reconnoitre, and we must find out the situation in the camp of the cadres!" ”

"Yes, the last general will send a few more people over!"

Waiting is a kind of torment, especially in this case, the net worth and life of his two thousand men and horses are all in the hands of Chen Xian, and if he is not careful, he will all be explained here, so Chen Xian has to be imprudent.

After waiting for a lot again, Chen Xian asked again, "What time is it?" ”

The timekeeper turned his head and replied, "Two moments!" ”

Chen Xian took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the two groups of scouts we sent out were intercepted and killed by the cadre scouts in the middle of the road, otherwise it would be impossible for them to have not sent back the news!" What puzzles me is why the general of the Qianjun army stopped our scouts from probing when he ordered the lights to be extinguished. Is he trying to lure our troops to attack the camp, or is he trying to confuse the public and secretly make deployments that we don't know about? ”
