Chapter 53 quietly entered the village

The fifth watch has just arrived, and the night has not yet receded. Dozens of dark shadows silently touched the camp of the Xianbei people.

The sentry posts on the periphery and the guards at the gate were also napping, and before dawn was the time when people slept most soundly, especially these Xianbei people who were tired for two days and busy all night.

First of all, the sentinels on the watchtower and the open and dark sentinels around the camp were either blocked by feathered arrows or cut off by throwing knives. In the few attacks on the camp just now, the scouts of the Dangkou Cavalry have been hiding in the shadows, and they have firmly remembered the location of the open and dark posts.

One of their squads has two marksmen, and two platoons have six squads, which is twelve marksmen. The guards at the door and the sentry on the watchtower were not enough for them, especially the Xianbei man who was carrying the alarm horn was hit by four arrows.

All the perimeter guards were swept away, and the scouts began to move away from the horses blocking the door, and the platoon commander Hao Zhao sent out the promised night owl cry into the darkness.

Suddenly a large black shadow appeared in the darkness, and the brazier outside the camp could not be illuminated. Only when the black shadow approached the camp gate did he see that it was 5,000 Han cavalry. However, despite the large number of people, there was no sound.

Zhang He walked in the front, and he motioned to Hao Zhao to let them move on. Hao Zhao led his brothers to sneak into the Xianbei camp and go deeper. The rejection of horses in front of the gate has been moved, and the front of the Han cavalry is a smooth road. The Xianbei people were lazy, and the reward for not digging trenches around the camp came.

Zhang He took the lead, raised the spear in his hand to the sky, and waved it fiercely forward, and the five thousand Hejian elite horsemen followed closely behind him, silently rushing into the camp of the Xianbei people. This scene is like a famous line in later generations: "Quietly enter the village, don't shoot a gun". The Han cavalry threw the torches and oil in their hands to the tents of the Xianbei people.

It wasn't until the fire started that Xianbei in his sleep realized that the Han army was attacking the camp, and the alarm signal sounded. By the time Kuitou and Budugen were woken up by the guards and hurriedly mounted their horses, the Han cavalry had already passed through the camp and killed them from the north gate.

Tents in all corners of the camp were set on fire, and what was even more odious was that the Han army actually set fire to the already scarce grain and grass at the head of the leader. The leader hurriedly ordered people to put out the fire, especially the grain and grass first.

Budugen led the army to chase the Han army, but unfortunately the Xianbei cavalry were sleepy and lacking horses, and the men and horses were physically exhausted, and they only chased for more than ten miles, and they couldn't run, so they could only watch the Han cavalry march away.

Not to mention that Zhang He happily returned to the camp to ask Jia Xu for the order. But it was said that the Xianbei camp was a mess, and the head and Budugen looked at the smoky and burned dilapidated tents all over the ground, and the little grain and grass that was burned, and they wanted to cry without tears, and they had the heart to die.

On this night, the head of the head can be described as a heavy loss, half of the tents were burned, most of the grain and grass were also wiped out, plus the 1,000 elites who did not return, a total of 3,000 casualties or missing.

After cleaning the battlefield, not a single corpse of the Han army was found, and when the camp was attacked, there were no casualties of the Han army, and the only few corpses were taken away by the Han soldiers.

Kuitou and Budugen could only helplessly tidy up the camp, wait for the arrival of the Helian army, and then they had to borrow some grain and grass, and the wounded war horses had to be slaughtered and eaten for meat, otherwise they would not even have to eat dinner. Breakfast? Breakfast can only be drunk.

After noon, Helian's army also arrived at Liangcheng and set up camp along both sides of the river. According to Kebineng's suggestion, Helian's royal tent did not cross the river, but was encamped on the other side of the river, and a high fence was pulled up, so as to block the view from the high platform of the Han army's camp.

The leader and Budugen were ashamed to tell Helian about the battle last night, and asked Helian to lend some grain and grass. He Lian also pointed to using the head to suppress Ke Bineng, so he didn't investigate the responsibility of the leader, but only made a temporary demerit, let the head of the head make meritorious service, and generously lent some grain and grass to the leader.

After lunch and a period of rest, the leader and Budugen came to ask Helian to fight, begging them to continue to fight as vanguards, hoping to save face on the battlefield and wash away their shame. He Lian readily agreed, and led the ten clan chiefs to watch the battle together, and personally cheered for the Kuitou tribe.

In the Xianbei army, there was a huge war drum, erected on a carriage pulled by four horses, and Lian took off his shirt and went into battle shirtless, beating drums to cheer for the leader and Budugen.

Kuitou and Budu Gen ordered 30,000 cavalry, came to the Han army camp ten miles out, lined up and cursed.

Jia Xu had already given Zhang He a great credit, and then let him and his 5,000 cavalry go down to rest, and after a busy night, he was not lightly tired. These 5,000 cavalry were the only cavalry left in the Liangcheng battalion, and the rest of the cavalry was taken away by Lu Bu. In this battle, he will rely on these infantry to fight.

Hearing that the Xianbei people called for battle, Jia Xu also took Gao Shun and Fu Zhu, as well as the generals out of the camp to meet the battle, accompanied by Xu Huang's first infantry brigade and Bingzhou infantry, a total of 15,000 people, and the Han army descended the phalanx under the hillside outside the camp.

The leader looked at the Han army and saw the banner of "General Duliao", but surrounded by the generals was a young scribe dressed as a person, not like Lu Bu.

The leader urged his horse forward, came to the front of the two armies, and shouted loudly: "Where is Lu Bu? Please speak to me before the battle. I am the vanguard of the Great Xianbei, and the leader of the generals is also. ”

Jia Xu shook the feather fan lightly, and also urged the horse to step forward slowly, and Zhang Liao followed closely behind him. "I am the military advisor under General Duliao, my name is Jia Xu, my general said that you are not Helian, I will deal with it."

When the leader heard Jia Xu's answer, he thought to himself, you Lu Bu, the shelf is not small, send a military advisor to tell me?

"You're a military advisor? Then you go back and tell Lu Bu to ask him to quickly go out of the camp and surrender, our big leader can spare him from dying, otherwise break your big camp and leave no chickens and dogs. Could it be that you still want to fight against the 200,000 Xianbei Iron Horsemen? Mantis arm stops the car. ”

After listening to this, Jia Xu smiled slightly, "This adult's Chinese is good, and he can block cars with his mantis arm." But you want to go south to destroy our homeland, and you want us to surrender ourselves, it's really bandit logic. “

"It's useless to talk more, we Han people have a saying called "it's a mule or a horse that comes out to slip around", if you want to fight, just come over, we will accompany you. After saying that, he hit the horse and walked back, and Zhang Liao still followed.

Seeing Jia Xu's resolute attitude, the head had nothing to say, so he turned around and returned to his own formation. But after walking a few steps, he suddenly took off his bow and arrow, and turned around with an arrow, which made him haunted by last night's events, and he wanted to shoot Jia Xu in front of the battle to save a trace of face.

Kuitou's riding and archery skills are also first-class, and the arrows are castrated very quickly, but Zhang Liao has always been wary of him, and when he saw him bending his bow and arrows, he also quietly took off the bow and prepared for it.

Seeing that the leader really hurt people with a secret arrow, Zhang Liao also shot an arrow. Zhang Liao's archery skills have been taught by Lu Bu's words and deeds, and he has also improved a lot, and his arrow just stopped the head of the arrow halfway, and the two collided in the air and fell to the ground one after another.

Zhang Liao followed up and shot the second arrow, "Come and don't be rude, Xianbei villain, you also eat a certain arrow." This arrow is much faster than the first arrow, and Zhang Liao also uses a three-stone strong bow, which is full of strength.

The head was stunned by Zhang Liao's archery, and when he saw the second arrow coming, he hurriedly dodged, but the speed of the arrow was too fast, and it still grazed his left arm, taking away a small piece of flesh and blood, and the head was so painful that he bared his teeth, "That Han general, who are you?" Do you dare to leave your name and surname? ”

Zhang Liao smiled contemptuously, "The master is Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen, I don't accept that we will see you on the battlefield." After speaking, escort Jia Xu back to his own position. Jia Xu also thanked him, and Zhang Liao hurriedly said that this was his duty and should be done.
