Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Liang Army Withdraws

Anshan County Ya, silent, Chu army generals still sit high in the hall, or meditate, or close their eyes to meditate, the atmosphere is a little solemn, no one spoke, because they don't know what to say; No one left, although it was decided not to send troops to rescue, there was nothing to do, and they could go down to rest, but seeing the defeat of the friendly army, there was still any sleep.

They didn't expect any miracle of turning defeat into victory, they just hoped that the losses of the Qin army would be smaller, but the fire on the mountain was so big that this hope was probably extravagant.

Pang Xiong was not at all happy because Chen Rui was in trouble and was likely to die in Jiuquan, some were just worried about the situation, and some were just worried about the Chu State.

Suddenly, a soldier entered the hall: "Report! The Qin army asked for a hundred miles of fire. ”

The generals came back to their senses, looked at each other, and all saw the worry in each other's eyes, what is the use of asking to see at this time?

Pang Xiong took a deep breath and said, "Let him in." ”

Baili Huo walked in calmly, his clothes and armor were neat, there was no trace of damage, and there was no trace of blood, not at all like he came down from the battlefield, let alone like he had experienced a fiasco and escaped with his life.

Is he running away? The generals in the hall couldn't help but think in their hearts, otherwise how could they explain his current appearance?

Baili Huo walked to the hall without hurry, and gave a salute and said: "General Pang, on the orders of my son-in-law, please General Pang quickly send troops to attack the camp of the Liang army." ”

"Isn't General Chen defeated? Why do you want us to send troops to attack the camp of the Liang army? One of the generals below couldn't help but ask.

Bailihuo smiled lightly, glanced at him lightly and said, "Who said that my son-in-law was defeated?" My son-in-law is very clever and calculated, and with a wave of his hand, he turned 100,000 enemy troops into a dream, how could he be defeated? ”

Although the generals didn't quite believe his words, their expressions had changed a little, not because they were dead just now, but with a hint of hope.

Pang Xiong's eyes flashed, and he asked, "......What is the fire on that mountain?"

Baili Huo didn't say anything long-winded, and said directly: "That's right, it is my son-in-law's plan to lure the enemy, He Yongchang held a grudge because he contradicted his son, and was beaten fifty boards by his son, and he had the intention of selling the lord to seek glory, and the secret letter sent to Liang Jun was intercepted by the son, and the son simply planned it." And the Liang army really hit the plan, tonight is the opportunity to defeat the Liang army, General Pang also asked to send troops quickly, and the fighter must not be delayed, otherwise Gongzi's plan will fail, and the Liang army can also fight again. ”

Chen Rui was reluctant to let Pang Xiong interfere, he was extremely ambitious, and wanted to win 300,000 against 300,000 and achieve a famous classic battle that went down in history as a victory over the strong with the weak and more with less.

Although there are only more than 200,000, the ancients would generally magnify this number, so that the enemy felt that he was unstoppable with a monstrous momentum, just like the battle of Chibi Cao Cao claimed to be a million people, but in fact there were only 200,000, and the battle of Yiling Liu Bei claimed to have 700,000 troops, but in fact there were only tens of thousands.

The 300,000 Liang army also claimed to carry 600,000 people.

But after thinking about it, I didn't think of any countermeasures, after all, the Liang army was heavy, and there was no need to give everything to the camp, and a large army would be left to guard the camp, and an ambush in the valley would ambush the Chu army that might rush to help in the city.

Don't ask Chen Rui why he knew that the Liang army was ambushed in the valley, because the road from Ansan County to the camp on the mountain was the best place for ambush.

Slope ValleySlope Valley, as the name suggests, is a valley with high on both sides and low in the middle.

Therefore, Chen Rui had no choice but to send Baili Huo to ask for help, and this time was also well grasped, and this was the time when Du Gui was about to disturb the enemy and burn down the camp.

At that time, the fire will be soaring, the Liang army ambushed in the slope valley outside the city of Ansan County will come back to help, and the Chu army in the city has also set off as a whole army, although it was not the same road at the beginning, but there is an intersection between the two roads, and this intersection is where they meet.

When the two armies meet, a big battle will start, and Pang Xiong's army will be able to help him drag these Liang troops, and Chen Rui will be able to deal with the Liang army left behind in the camp without worrying about being attacked on his back.

When Pang Xiong heard this, he slapped the handsome case and said loudly: "Okay! is worthy of the person that His Majesty fancy, Chen Gongzi is a handsome man in the world, pass on my order, quickly reorganize the army, and the general personally led the troops to go. ”

"Whoa!" The generals were excited, they didn't expect a miracle to happen, and General Chen didn't talk to them in advance, causing them to worry in vain.

In the camp of the Liang army, the Liang army at the lookout saw the fire shining in the distance, and asked loudly: "Who are you waiting for?" Which general is under it? ”

He didn't think that this was the Chu army, their army was pouring out, just to deal with the Chu army, there was no Chu army here, and with their firelight, the colors of the banners and armor they saw looked like their Liang army's, so he didn't doubt it.

"We are under the command of General Kuai, and General Kuai is worried that the Chu army will attack the camp at night, so he specially ordered us to wait for the defense." Du Gui replied loudly.

That's right, this army is two thousand elite cavalry led by Du Gui, don't look at Du Gui's three big and five thick, big arms and brainless appearance, there are quite a lot of thoughts, when he received Chen Rui's order to burn down the camp of the Liang army and disturb the enemy's rear, instead of killing the enemy, he thought about how to do it better, and then he thought of pretending to be the Liang army, anyway, the Liang army's flag armor has captured a lot, which can just come in handy, and he is not afraid of being discovered by the Liang army.

The Liang sergeant vaguely seemed to see the word Kuai on the big curtain, and he did not doubt him, and said: "It turned out to be under the command of General Kuaifeng, General Kuaifeng is really cautious, where did the Chu army attack the camp at this time?" ”

Although he said so, he still asked the soldiers below to open the camp gate and let them in.

When the camp door was opened, Du Gui pointed forward with the long-handled knife in his hand and shouted with full anger: "Kill!" ”

The Liang army guarding the camp gate didn't know why, but they didn't have a chance to get an answer, because they had been killed by the Qin army at this moment, and the Liang army on the lookout was not spared, and was shot by an arrow and fell.

Although the general shouted to kill, they already knew that they were not here tonight to kill the enemy, but to burn down the camp of the Liang army, so the Qin army rushed into the camp not to take advantage of the fact that the Liang army had not yet effectively resisted but to find the Liang army to kill, but to kill the fleeing Liang army by the way, throw the torch in his hand into the camp tent, and knock over the burning brazier of the camp in the direction of the camp tent, just not to entangle the Liang army more.

After a while, fires broke out everywhere in the camp, and the Qin army headed out of the camp like the wind.

The Liang army had the feeling of punching on the cotton, because of Wu Xu's order, the Liang army did not disarm his clothes, and he was not afraid of the Chu army attacking the camp at all, but the Chu army ran away after setting fire to it, and they didn't give them a chance to fight.

Wu Xu looked at the gas fires everywhere, and was very angry, "Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire quickly, and beware of the enemy army sneaking up again." ”

Wu Xu was really right, Du Gui did not take people away, but circled around the camp from a distance, and found the stable where the war horses were placed in Liangjun Pass, and his eyes flashed with excitement, and the soldiers lit the torches and threw them into the stable.

Although the Liang army found the traces of the Qin army, they didn't know how many of them there were, and they were afraid of ambushing, so the generals didn't dare to order their soldiers to attack, but just stuck to the camp and extinguished the fire.

So even if he saw Qin Jun's movements, it was too late to stop it.

A lot of forage was laid in the stable, and it was ignited by the torch in an instant, the fire broke out, the war horses were frightened, and tens of thousands of war horses were frightened and scurried, and its power can be imagined, the stables were crumbling by tens of thousands of frightened war horses, and finally couldn't stand the horsepower, and collapsed, and the war horses in it ran wildly, causing a panic in the camp.

The fire in the camp was not extinguished, but grew even bigger.

When the fire first started, it was seen by the Liang army who set up an ambush in the slope valley, Du Hui was afraid that the camp would be lost, so he immediately gave up the ambush and directly led the troops back to help, and just met the Chu army led by Pang Xiong at the intersection of the two roads, and the two armies fought together.

The Liang army of the large camp was harassed by the Qin army outside the war horse, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the Liang army was about to go out to fight a big battle to relieve the anger in his heart.

But at this time, the defeated Xie Wu and the others came back, and their embarrassed appearance made the Liang army in the camp frightened, and their 100,000 army was defeated in a night attack on a camp of 30,000 troops!

Seeing the scene of the camp, Xie Wu knew that the general trend had gone, and made the most correct decision at this time, withdraw the army!

Because the Qin army behind them was chasing after with a great victory, it was impossible to resist the army whose morale had begun to collapse now that the formation in their hands was in chaos and had begun to collapse.

Of course, he did not forget Du Hui's army and sent him the military order to withdraw the army.

The Liang army retreated like a wild dog, Du Gui did not lead the army to chase and kill, although the Liang army looked panicked, but there was still a force of thousands of iron horsemen after the break, he alone could not achieve results, it was better to occupy the camp and protect these booty.

Chen Rui led the army to arrive, and saw that the big camp was the Qin character Daxu, so he knew that the Liang army had withdrawn, and the big camp was occupied by Du Gui.

can give up the battalion and withdraw the army so decisively, without extravagant hopes, he can't get down as soon as he opens his mouth, and he wants to redeem the defeat, for Xie Wu, the commander of the Liang Army, who made this decision, Chen Rui still admires it a little, although he was defeated, but this is due to the situation, and he can't be blamed completely.

Because the whole Liangguo was anxious and wanted to eat sweet hot tofu, they secretly sent a large army, wanting to use the thunderous momentum to defeat the Chu army and occupy Xiangzhou and occupy the initiative of the war.

But I don't know that I can't become a big fat man by eating one bite, but I may choke to death.

Of course, Xie Wu also had a reason for this failure, the biggest thing was to underestimate the enemy, and he underestimated the enemy in the face of him as a young man who was not enough for a weak crown.

However, the decision he made at this time was undoubtedly the most correct, and it was not necessary to preserve the vitality of the army and fight again in the coming days.

Such an opponent should not be underestimated.

Chen Rui did not give the order to chase, because the results of the battle were already extremely fruitful, and it was also because he couldn't eat a big fat man in one breath, but he might be choked to death.
