Chapter 52: Let No One Sleep

Jia Xu nodded and looked at Gao Shun, "General Gao Shun listens to orders!" ”

Gao Shun hurriedly stood up and bowed as well, "Here!" ”

"General Gao Shun, after the main force of the enemy army arrives tomorrow, the attack will definitely begin. I have appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, commanding specific front-line combat operations. Xu Huang's 1st Brigade, Cheng Lian's 2nd Brigade, Youzhou Infantry, Bingzhou Infantry, and Jizhou Infantry are all under your command. ”

"The specific deployment is as follows, Xu Huang's 1st Brigade, 1st Regiment, and 2nd Regiment are responsible for the defense of the middle of the camp, the 3rd Regiment and Cheng Lian's 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment are responsible for the defense of the left flank of the battalion, and the 5th and 6th regiments of the 2nd Brigade are responsible for the defense of the right flank of the battalion."

"The Youzhou infantry is assigned to the left wing, the left wing is commanded by Fang Yue, the Bingzhou infantry is assigned to the middle road, the middle route is commanded by Xu Huang, and the Jizhou infantry is 10,000 with the right lane, commanded by Cheng Lian."

"The remaining Jizhou infantry and Wei Xu's reserve brigade are on standby for the time being. The specific defensive tactics will be executed according to the predetermined plan, and I will notify you if there are any changes. The signal corps of all departments trapped in the camp must ensure that orders and messages are uploaded and issued, and that the secretaries of all departments accurately record their exploits in battle and maintain military discipline. General Gao Shun and Mr. Fu Zhu stayed, and the others went back to prepare! ”

"No!" The crowd dispersed.

There are only three people left in the tent, Gao Shun, Fu Zhu and Jia Xu, "General Gao Shun, didn't you ask me about the offensive tactics against the leader during the day, the old and weak are in the front and the elite are in the back, what is the countermeasure?" Now I tell you, so and so ... ”

Jia Xu said something to Gao Shun, and he listened to it with a pinch, Jia Poison was ruthless enough, and Gao Shun showed a look of sudden realization, "Strategist, your plan is really amazing, it will definitely make the head hurt and the bones will be moved." ”

"Hehe, you have to keep him to deal with Kebineng! You can't kill them all! Jia Xu also let out a smug laugh.

That night, also a dark and windy night, the Xianbei people simply enclosed a camp with a wooden fence and placed a few braziers in the wilderness outside the camp for lighting. There was no time and no bothering to dig a trench, the gate was closed, and a few soldiers were keeping vigil outside the gate.

There are four watchtowers at the four corners of the camp, which are also very simple, and there are also people keeping vigil on them. After two days of long-distance travel, even the man who grew up on horseback was tired. In the evening, after a hasty dinner, Kuitou and Budugen had already gone back to their respective tents to sleep. Anyway, the open and dark sentinels on duty at night are arranged, and they are not afraid of someone sneaking up.

At the second watch, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from the south, and in the silent night, it was very clear, from far to near, and it was obvious that another large group of cavalry was galloping. The open and dark sentinels of the Xianbei people discovered the enemy situation and released arrows one after another, and the soldiers who kept vigil also sounded the gong to give the alarm.

Both Kuitou and Budugen woke up from their sleep, and the guards got up and rushed into the tent to put on armor for Kuitou and Budugen. The two of them had just ridden their war horses, and Zhang He's Hejian spirit horse had already run away and shot a wave of rockets.

Because of the distance, only a few tents on the edge of the camp were ignited, and the fire was not large and was quickly extinguished. Budugen was about to lead the attack, but the leader stopped: "Don't fall for the enemy's tricks, I don't expect him to dare to storm our camp, just bluff." ”

Sure enough, seeing that the Xianbei people did not attack, Zhang He took his cavalry, just made a noise, and then went around the camp.

"Brother, you are like a god, and the Han army is really gone."

The head nodded, and then ordered everyone to strengthen their vigilance and continue to go back to sleep, and Budugen also returned to his bedchamber, laboriously took off his armor, and continued to sleep.

In a daze, half-asleep and half-awake, in the night sky, the alarm of the arrow sounded again, and then the rumbling of the horse's hooves from far and near, the hooves of the Han army all hit the horse's shoe, and the running was extraordinarily loud, and the sound of 5,000 people was like 10,000 horses galloping.

Bu Dugen hurriedly got up, put on his armor, came out of the tent, and scolded as he walked, "These damn southern barbarians, you still don't let people sleep." ”

The chief also put on his armor as he walked, and came out of the tent. "Brother, they don't want us to sleep, so let me take the soldiers to have a look."

The head pondered for a moment, and called a thousand commanders next to him, "You lead your thousand-man team, go out and have a look, be careful, don't fall into the ambush of the Han army." The commander obeyed, mounted his horse and set up his subordinates, and went out of the camp to meet the Han army.

Zhang He saw that only a thousand Xianbei cavalry rushed over, so he ran back with his subordinates, and he also made a heart, extinguished half of the torches, and only 2,000 of the 5,000 people played torches. In the darkness, the commander saw that the torches of the Han army did not need to be much more, so he believed it to be true, and wanted to make a meritorious achievement, desperately chasing after him, and had long forgotten the advice of the leader.

When he ran out of the five miles, he suddenly lit up a lot of torches, and his 1,000 men were surrounded by at least 5,000 Han cavalry. Hejian Jingcai was also a well-trained regular army of the Han army.

The advantage of five to one, and in the midst of encirclement, first a hand crossbow, no need to aim, just shoot into the crowd. When the Xianbei commander saw that he was surrounded, he wanted to break through and rush back to his own camp. The Han army put down their crossbows, picked up their spears one after another, and also charged at the Xianbei people, and soon annihilated the thousand people.

The Han army only lost a few dozen casualties, and one or two hundred were wounded, all of which were casualties when the Xianbei people were desperate in the end. Zhang He ordered the wounded to return to the camp and take the bodies of his fallen brothers with him, while he led the army to quietly return outside the Xianbei camp.

Kuitou and Budugen saw that the commander led the troops to chase after him at first, and they were not worried, looking at the number of torches, the Han army was only 2,000 cavalry, 1,000 Xianbei cavalry, or the elite of the head of the leader, even if they couldn't beat the 2,000 Han army, it was almost the same. As for the reasonableness of two thousand cavalry being able to make such a big noise, they didn't even think about it.

They all participated in the counterattack against the three-way Han army under the personal command of Tan Shihuai six years ago, when they easily defeated all the three-way Han army, killing several so-called famous Han army generals, only to be spared. They don't think there's anything powerful about the current Han army.

But later, suddenly there was a fierce fighting sound in the darkness, and soon the sound disappeared. Their hearts were tight, and they waited for a long time and didn't see a single Xianbei cavalry come back, before they finally determined that something really happened.

At this moment, they did not dare to sleep at all, and they did not dare to take off their armor, so they ordered their subordinates to be on guard. The leader concluded that the Han army would come again. Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the Han army really came again, and they ran away with an arrow.

Kuitou and Budugen led 10,000 cavalry to chase them out in person, and Zhang He saw that there were many Xianbei people from a distance, so he remembered the advice of the military advisor, did not engage in battle, and fled far into the darkness. The leader led the army to chase for several miles, and when he saw that the Han army was running farther and farther, he did not dare to continue the pursuit, so he could only return to the camp in a huff.

This time, after half an hour, the Han army did not come again, and the head of the head ordered everyone to rest, but the people did not take off their armor, the horses did not leave the saddle, and the periphery strengthened the vigilance.

The fourth watch, the Han army did not come, the head and Budugen really couldn't stand it, and they didn't care if the armor on their bodies was panicked, so they fell asleep. After all, they traveled a long way, marched for two days, drove three hundred miles, and didn't sleep well for another night, so it's no wonder that they are not tired.

When the Xianbei soldiers saw that the patriarch and the captain were asleep one after another, they naturally slacked off, and they had to sleep in armor. At this time, those elites who are usually arrogant envy the cannon fodder slaves. They are not qualified to wear armor, and they are much more comfortable to sleep.
