Rushed all the way out of the wounded camp and went straight to Zhao Xun's left camp, the front foot just arrived, the back foot saw the fire, the Jin army overturned the camp barracks and rejected the horses with cavalry, and then set fire to rockets and firewood and grass carts, burning many military tent vehicles at the north gate of the left camp.

Seeing Zhong Heng dispatching the various armies, Bailiyan rode forward and asked:

"General Zhong Heng!" Baili Yancao bowed.

"It's you, why are you here?"

"Where is General Zhao!"

"Marquis Ding Yang sent someone to order General Zhao to go to the Chinese army to discuss matters, and he can't come back for a while, what's the urgency."

"The Jin army wants to attack the Chinese army."

"How do you know!" Zhong Heng was taken aback, but it was impossible to think of it: "At present, the left, front, and right battalions are not broken, how to attack the Chinese army." ”

"If our army is used to attack the tunnels of Duyang City, today is six days after the attack on Duyang City that day and night, even digging twelve more is more than enough."

"Shhh...... Even if the tunnels are used, the Chinese army is where the main force of Ding Yanghou is located, how can the Jin army attack, not to mention that it is difficult to transport troops through the tunnels, at most two or three thousand troops can be sent at a time, if it is blocked in time, I am afraid it will be difficult to pose a threat. ”

"Naturally, he robbed Ji Chang, and then escaped from the back camp."

"You mean, the Jin army is still going to attack the rear camp."

"Exactly, attacking the left, front, and right battalions is a feint, attacking the rear battalion is also secondary, and responding to the escape of Jichang is the purpose of the Jin army. The rear army originally had 15,000 soldiers, but because of the heavy casualties in the night attack on the 6th, another 8,000 were sucked away, and now there are only 7,000 old and weak and thousands of wounded. ”

"How can this be good, General Zhao does not have the position of governor under his command, and the general has no right to divide troops to rescue the rear camp."

Although Zhong Heng is the right governor, he does not have the right to transfer the personnel and horses of the headquarters without authorization, and only from the beginning of the governor of the capital can he have the right to transfer the troops and horses under his command without authorization. Of course, Bai Liyan also knew this truth, he didn't come to save the camp, but to take refuge.

The rear camp stall is too big, and there is no power to parry, and most of the Jin army is just a sweep, and the main goal is to impact the Chinese army. However, the swords and guns have no eyes, in case a few thousand cavalry are killed by an inattentive person, there is nowhere to hide, so naturally they can only flee to Zhao Xun's camp.

"General Zhong Heng, this matter is beyond your control, so let's hold the left camp in case the Jin army has other plans."

"That's it!" Zhong Heng's voice fell, and his eyes fell to Xiao: "Who is he?" ”

"A brother in the previous army, he and Zai survived on the day of the first siege of the city, and in recent days he has been doing chores in the wounded camp, and I took her with me by the way."

Zhong Heng didn't ask too much, Bailiyan climbed up to the watchtower in the camp with him, and let Xiao Shou under the watchtower.

Each battalion has several watchtowers, a number of watchtowers, arrow towers, and a high platform. Although the watchtower is not as high as the high platform, it is ten meters away and the height of a small five-story building. Zhong Heng stood in the watchtower, and the situation of the whole camp was in full view.

The Jin army's attack on the north gate of the left camp was extremely fierce, but the attack on the west gate facing the side of Duyang City was ordinary, although the momentum was huge, the intensity of the real fight between the two sides was obviously very weak.

"General Zhong Heng, the Jin army is mainly attacking the north gate, with the intention of making a detour for the Jin cavalry to prevent our army from going north."

"If that's the case, the south gate of the right camp should be the same at this moment."

"Exactly, only the north gate of the left camp and the south gate of the right camp are blocked, and the cavalry of the Jin army has no worries no matter which way they detour."

"Then what strategy does Your Excellency have to break the offensive of the Jin army."

"Ji Chang is about the Chinese army, presumably extremely tightly guarded, and will not let it escape easily. Once the Jin army penetrated into the camp of the Chinese army through the tunnel, even if it was the Marquis of Dingyang, Bacheng should have expected that the Jin army would attack the east and the west, and feint to attack the left, front, and right battalions, and rob Jichang is the goal. Therefore, I thought that it would be difficult for the Jin army to succeed in robbing Xichang. ”

"In that case, why should Your Excellency worry?"

"General Zhong doesn't know that if the Jin army fails to rescue Ji Chang, a feint attack on the left, front, and right battalions tonight will become the main attack. With the combat strength of the Jin army, our army is afraid that if the camp is not broken, it will also suffer extremely heavy casualties. ”

Although Han He has not had much contact, Bai Liyan still knows about his temperament along the way.

The art of war Yun knows that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and Han He now expects that the Xian army will not kill Ji Chang, so Ji Chang is a hot potato in the hands of Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, which gives Han He the motivation to rescue Ji Chang and launch a strong offensive field battle.

If the rescue of Jichang fails tonight, Han He will inevitably make a feint to attack as the main attack, mobilize his forces and concentrate on breaking through one of the three battalions of the left, front, and right, and face off with the Xian army.

If any of the three battalions cannot be defeated tonight or tomorrow, the two armies will fall into a protracted war of attrition against each other, and the Jin army's combat strength is now stronger than that of the Xian army.

Even if Han He can't save Xichang, it can create favorable conditions for the two countries to talk about it in the future, forcing Xianguo to divide the border on the spot, and Jin can completely swallow Xianguo's Jiangdong Dongjun and seek to fight again in the future.

At this time, the attack of the left, front, and right battalions was still rapid, but the rear battalion did not move, and the acupoint attack expected by Bailiyan did not seem to appear as expected. At this moment, the moon has set in the western sky, the morning and dusk are slightly dewed, and the sky will be bright in half an hour, is it a mistake in judgment?

Climbing down the watchtower, Xiao was still in shock:

"Brother Wei."

"What's wrong?"

"Will the Jin army break through the camp and kill it?" Xiao said worriedly.

"Don't think about it, wait until dawn."

Before the words fell, there was a noise in the south, and the heart that had just been put down suddenly rose to his heart.

As far as the eye can see, I saw that there was a spark hidden in the direction of the Chinese army, and the sound of killing became more and more loud:

"Sure enough, Han He still attacked the Chinese army."

Secretly said in his heart, Bai Liyan turned his mind and thought that Ding Yang Hou was afraid that he would suffer a lot of losses this time, if it was a night attack, Ding Yang Hou must be on guard, but seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Ding Yang Hou Ding did not expect that Han He would launch a cave attack at this time, and he must have slackness in his heart.

The biggest reliance on the cave attack is the night, the night can achieve miraculous results, there are few cases of launching the cave attack to capture the city during the day, unless the people who stick to the side are small and the soldiers are small, but they can be taken by surprise.

At this time, the Chinese army was in flames of war, and the left, front, and right battalions were fluctuating, and the Chinese army was the backer of the whole army, and if the Chinese army was broken, the consequences would be unimaginable. What's more, the three battalions have not broken through in the front, and many generals find it difficult to understand why the Chinese army was sneak attacked, and they have no confidence in their hearts.

When the morning and dusk slowly receded, the fighting of the Chinese army entered a climax, and the momentum even exceeded that of any other three battalions, as if tens of thousands of people were fighting together, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was wave after wave.

But Bailiyan knew that the Jin army was only three or two thousand at most, and these three or two thousand people also knew that they were fighting to the death, and if they didn't succeed, they would become ren. Once you get out of the tunnel, there is no way out, and you can only fight to the end to have any hope of survival.

Han He's attack on the camp overnight, the Xian army almost emptied all the cavalry of the Chinese army, at this time, if three or two thousand Jin army elite soldiers were killed from the tunnel, the Xian army was afraid that it would have to press 10,000 people to resist.

Thinking of this, Bailiyan was a little frightened:

"Han He deserves to be a veteran......"

With a long sigh, Bai Liyan's gaze turned to Xiao, and there was still a trace of fear in her eyes:

"Let's go, back to the wounded camp."

"But what if the Jin people kill me."

"No, it's almost dawn, and the Jin army won't sneak attack the back camp."

Han He Foxiao's sneak attack must have been to paralyze the Marquis of Dingyang, but Foxiao's sneak attack failed to rescue Ji Chang, and at this time, the Jin cavalry entered the response from the rear camp, which would be completely exposed to the strength of the Xian army, and it would be difficult to receive miraculous results.

Bai Liyan had previously come into contact with a kind of signal flare called "Flying Whistle" in the Jin Army, which was a hollow rod cast in copper, with an opening at one end that could be blocked, with a diameter of five or six centimeters and a length of about ten centimeters, and the inside was empty. But it is filled with a medium of white powder, and as long as the lid of the copper can is opened, it can emit a dazzling light, spew out a white dazzling fire, and make a sound. Even if you are a few kilometers away, you can see and hear clearly.

This kind of flying whistle does not need to ignite, it can be ignited by itself when it is opened, Bailiyan initially thought that the white powder may be white phosphorus, white phosphorus does have natural characteristics at room temperature, but in winter, this kind of flying whistle can also be used, obviously it is unlikely to be white phosphorus. Secondly, white phosphorus needs to be extracted chemically, and a slight accident will cause a fire.

The flying whistle is a top secret thing in the Jin army, and there are very few in the army, it has always been collected by Han He and Wang Shuo, and Bai Liyan has never been able to check it in person, and he still does not understand the principle.

It's just that at the moment, the Jin army is stealing the camp, and it is bound to carry a flying whistle to report the message, and if it fails, it will not report the message. Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, and the flying whistle is not seen for a long time, it must have been missed, and it is not much point to enter from the back camp at this time.

The pack horse carrying Bailiyan and the two were about to leave the left camp, and they saw a pair of men and horses galloping from the south gate, led by Zhao Xun.

"General Zhao!"

Bai Liyan stepped forward and saluted, Zhao Xun turned over and stepped forward immediately and said:

"Your Excellency is here for the Jin army's cave attack and stealing camp."

"Exactly, it seems that Marquis Ding Yang also expected that the Jin army would come to attack the camp."

"Hi...... Ben was also ridiculed by Ding Yang Hou for this. ”

Zhao Xun looked unhappy, presumably Marquis Ding Yang had a left opinion with him on this matter.

Last night, the Jin army attacked the three battalions, Zhao Xun was recruited to the Chinese army to discuss the matter, when the three battalions came to report the emergency, Ding Yang Hou was still calm, and did not transfer people from the Chinese army to rescue.

It's just that in the second half of the night, the Jin army's offensive intensified, and Ding Yanghou finally couldn't sit still, and wanted to divide his troops to save the three battalions, which was blocked by Zhao Xun at that time, Zhao Xun proposed that the Jin army attack the three battalions was fake, and the use of the siege tunnels of the day to steal the camp was true, and Ding Yanghou also adopted Zhao Xun's suggestion at that time.

It's just that I didn't think that the Jin army had not seen the Jin army sneak attack on the Chinese army at dawn, and the right camp and the front camp were in a hurry, and Ding Yanghou mistakenly thought that the Jin army would not attack and steal the camp after dawn, so he transferred troops to the right camp and the front camp for reinforcements.

At this time, Zhao Xun proposed that the most important thing to strengthen is the rear battalion, if the front battalion and the right battalion are feints, the rear battalion is more likely to be raided by the Jin army.

The result was that not long after the reinforcements were transferred, the Chinese army suddenly killed thousands of Jin troops, and they were all heavy infantry, and the Xian army had no heavy infantry, and the cavalry had been emptied. Zhao Xun hurriedly rushed back to the left camp, that is, he transferred people to the rear camp to prevent the rear camp from failing.

"General Zhao, since the sneak attack of the Jin army has been extinguished, I think that the Jin army will probably not attack the rear camp again. The general should resist the left army with all his might, and today will be a bloody battle. ”

"How so?"

"Have you ever heard of the 'flying whistle' thing?"

"Whistling? You mean the flying whistle of the Song tribute. ”

Baili Yan was surprised, he only knew that Feiming was owned by the Jin army, but he didn't know that it was paid tribute by the Song State. At this time, Zhao Xun continued:

"If there is a flying whistle, but there is no whistle from the Jin army, it must be a mistake in robbing the camp. In this way, the Jin army will indeed not risk attacking the rear camp, and what Your Excellency said is reasonable. It's just that some people are still sent to deal with one or two, in case the Jin army dies and the net is broken, it is better to be on guard. ”

"What the general said is very true, then rush back to the rear camp first."

After a salute, Bailiyan rode a pack horse back to the rear camp, and more than 1,000 cavalry under Zhao Xun rushed to the rear camp to defend it.

After dawn, it was indeed found that a cavalry of less than 5,000 people made a detour to the north to attack Zhao Xun's left battalion.
