Although Liu Chu had already been decided, Qin Pei rejected the suggestion of some generals to attack the enemy camp immediately while the enemy's foothold was not stable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the Huainan army came from afar, and the soldiers were tired, which was not the best time to fight; What's more, at this time, the sky was almost dark, and the battle at night was obviously unable to give full play to the overall advantages of the Huainan army.

For the Huainan army, they only need to defeat the enemy army with a dignified division during the day, and if they fight at night, the Huainan army is not familiar with the terrain and may be taken advantage of by the enemy.

However, although Qin Pei did not intend to launch a direct attack on the enemy army immediately, he was prepared to send a small force to harass the enemy army after dark, so that the enemy army could not get enough rest, so as to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop in the next big battle.

After Qin Pei announced his decision, many generals immediately took the initiative to stand up and ask for the task of harassing the enemy camp at night.

This expedition to Jiangxi, Yang Wu basically did not use those veterans, but used a large number of young generals, and the discerning people naturally understood Yang Wu's purpose, so at this time, these young generals were all very active, hoping to be reused by Qin Pei.

Looking at the faces of these young generals below full of passionate fighting spirit, Qin Pei was very satisfied in his heart.

This time he went south to attack Jiangxi, but Yang Wuke secretly explained to Qin Pei, asking him to observe these young generals as much as possible, and find out the higher potential among them, so that they can focus on training in the future.

This task is not insignificant, it is not only out of trust in Qin Pei personally, but also a test of his vision and mind.

In addition to Qin Pei, Zhu Siqing, the deputy envoy of recruitment, was also given this important task.

In general, among Yang Wu's first three henchmen, Chen Fan and Fan Sicong's talents are still relatively mediocre, although they are loyal and reliable, but if Huainan does not have enough military merits, it is still difficult to be promoted quickly, so these two people can only be qualified in the position of commander at present.

Although Zhu Siqing doesn't talk much, he is the most stable person, and he has never had any trouble since he became a general.

This point was deeply appreciated by Yang Wu, so Yang Wu also spared no effort in cultivating Zhu Siqing, and secretly hoped that he could serve as the governor of the next army.

At this time, whether it was Zhu Siqing or Qin Pei, after observing these young generals, they finally set their eyes on a young general named Liu Chongjing.

This general is not an ordinary person, but the son of Liu Wei, the governor of Lianshui.

Liu Weinai is a veteran of Huainan and has a very deep foundation in the army, Liu Chongjing, as his eldest son, began to hold military positions long before Yang Wu became a general.

After so many years, he relied on his own ability, coupled with a deep back. Jing is now a commander.

Through observation during this time, Qin Pei and Zhu Siqing both felt that he was worth cultivating, and coupled with Liu Wei's face, they suddenly made a decision.

"Liu Chongjing, the task of leading the troops to attack and harass the enemy army tonight will be handed over to you, you must complete the task!"

"The last general obeys!"

……

After Qin Pei assigned the task, he began to arrange defenses, after all, it was within the enemy's territory, and no one could guarantee that the enemy army would not rely on their familiarity with the terrain to attack at night.

However, in the early hours of the morning, Qin Pei was awakened by the herald messenger who suddenly returned.

"What do you say? Liu Chongjing has already blended into the enemy camp? How is this possible? Qin Pei was shocked.

People in this era are not stupid, how can they easily let the enemy army into their camp?

Not to mention anything else, just the Jianghuai accent of the soldiers of the Huainan Army is very different from the Hongzhou Army, which is dominated by locals in Jiangxi.

In addition, in order to distinguish between friend and foe, the army of this era also has some simple passwords, and if you don't know this, it is even more impossible to blend in with the enemy army.

What's more, it is already late at night, and Liu Chongjing with an army suddenly wants to enter the enemy camp at night, doesn't the enemy ask?

Although Qin Pei looked down on the Hongzhou army, he also knew that they had not fought for many years, had less actual combat experience, and the military discipline was not as good as that of the Huainan army, but he thought that Liu Chongjing would not have the opportunity to blend into the enemy camp.

After asking the messenger, Qin Pei understood how Liu Chongjing had managed to do what he thought was impossible.

It turned out that at the same time that Qin Pei sent troops to harass the camp of the Hongzhou army, Liu Chu also sent an army to attack the camp of the Huainan army.

For Liu Chu, he was originally an offensive general, when he attacked Shezhou with Zhong Kuangshi and the two brothers, he advocated that when it was unfavorable to attack the city, he should first divide his troops to capture the county towns around Shezhou, so as to prevent reinforcements from the Huainan Army; Later, when he heard that the Huainan army reinforcements had arrived, he also advocated launching an attack on the Huainan reinforcements.

In short, as long as there is a chance to attack, Liu Chu will not choose to defend, and this time it is the same to resist the attack of the Huainan army.

Of course, Liu Chu is not a fool, although he advocates attacking, but he also knows that the Huainan army is stronger, if it is a strong attack, he is afraid that the chance of victory is not great, so he attacks the enemy first, makes it tired, and then takes the opportunity to attack, this is the best choice.

As a result, both sides opted for the strategy of sending a small number of troops to harass each other that night, only to be unexpectedly preceded by a skirmish at night.

In this melee, because of the dark sky, the two sides could distinguish between friend and foe at first, and when the two sides fought together, it was inevitable that they would fight each other.

This is the disadvantage of fighting in the dark, it is too easy to cause such a scuffle.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for both sides to realize that something was wrong and each found a way to separate.

However, in this way, it will be a little difficult to continue to harass the opponent's camp.

After a period of confrontation, the Hongzhou army first chose to retreat when they saw that they could not do anything.

And Liu Chongjing also chose to retreat, but unlike the Hongzhou army, Liu Chongjing quietly returned to the battlefield not long after retreating.

During the previous melee, many soldiers and brigades on both sides were separated, and at this time, Liu Chongjing sent more than 300 Huainan soldiers to disguise themselves as the scattered Hongzhou army and follow the retreating enemy troops to the enemy camp.

His aim was simply to follow the enemy and wait until he approached the enemy camp before launching a surprise attack, when the retreating enemy army must have been at its least alert.

But what he didn't expect was that there were really a small number of separated Hongzhou soldiers on the way, who regarded their impostors as their own and joined them.

In this way, the enemy troops guarding the gate of the camp mistakenly thought that the more than 300 Huainan troops who followed the last were their own people, and let them into the camp without much questioning.

This also depends on the fact that the armor and clothing of the Huainan Army are not much different from those of the Jiangxi Army, and it is at night, so it is not exposed on the spot.

However, Liu Chongjing also knew that this situation would not last long, and it was better to say that it was night, and when it was dawn, they would not be able to continue to hide.

Therefore, while ordering his subordinates to keep a low profile, he also sent people back immediately to tell Qin Pei that they would create chaos in the camp before dawn, and asked Qin Pei to immediately send troops to attack the enemy camp.

"This ......" Qin Pei was suddenly a little dumbfounded, it seems that the vigilance and actual combat experience of these Jiangxi soldiers are even more lacking than he expected, if it is in the Huainan army, this is almost an impossible situation.

"What a daring bastard! Doesn't this force Ben to make an offensive decision immediately? Qin Pei was secretly annoyed.

However, the situation was urgent at this time, and there was no time for him to think about it.

Although Liu Chongjing had already blended into the enemy camp, there was not much time before dawn at this time, and if he did not send troops immediately, he was afraid that he would not be able to attack the enemy camp when Liu Chongjing launched.

"Send an order to the generals and immediately send troops to attack the enemy camp!" Qin Pei made up his mind without much hesitation.

This battle can be said to be completely driven by Liu Chongjing's sudden move, Qin Pei was originally preparing to directly break through the enemy camp with absolute strength after dawn, but now he had to attack urgently.

Fortunately, the Huainan Army was relatively well trained, and even in this sudden dispatch of troops, they did not have much confusion, and they were ready to send troops in just over half an hour.

It was more than ten miles away from the camp of the Huainan army to the camp of the Jiangxi soldiers, and when Qin Pei led the main force of the Huainan army to the front of the enemy camp, the time was exactly before dawn, and the enemy camp was already in chaos at this time.

"Attack with all your might! Don't give the enemy a chance! Qin Pei shouted loudly.

……

At this time, in Hongzhou City, Zhong Kuangshi woke up early in the morning, or he didn't fall asleep at all last night.

After sending Liu Chu out of the city yesterday afternoon, watching the soldiers of the brigade line up and go out of the city, Zhong Kuangshi always had an inexplicable panic in his heart.

He didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong, from his emotional point of view, as Zhong Chuan's eldest son, he had worked hard for more than ten years to become the envoy of Zhennan Jiedu, if he surrendered directly without fighting with the Huainan army, Zhong Kuangshi's heart was inevitably a little unwilling.

However, intellectually speaking, when external reinforcements have been cut off and internal rebellions have been made, direct surrender seems to be the best option.

With this contradictory mood, Zhong Kuangshi couldn't sleep at all last night; At this time, although he had a dark circle under his eyes, the worry about the war in his heart was increasing instead of decreasing.

"Both Chen Sima and General Liu said that if I fell into the hands of King Wu, I would probably be killed to prevent future troubles; However, these two people have never seen King Wu, so how do they know what kind of person King Wu is? If you want to know what King Wu's temperament is, maybe you should ask your sister's opinion! Suddenly, a thought suddenly came to Zhong Kuangshi's mind.
