Chapter 82: Reaping the Consequences
"Tell the general, the spies have found out that the two newly built camps of the Song army only have 1,000 people." In Lin Peiyuan's tent, a scout was reporting the news he had just inquired about.
When a lieutenant in the account heard that there were only 1,000 people on the other side, he immediately stood up and said, "General, the last general is willing to lead 2,000 troops to take these two camps." ”
Lin Peiyuan shook his head and said: "What can they do with such a little person, Tian Yulong did this just to lure me out of the camp to rob the village, and then he took advantage of the situation to rob my village, I just didn't fall for him." Don't pay attention to them, we just need to hold our camp and wait for the victory and defeat on the battlefield of Song and Chu. Everyone saw that Lin Peiyuan didn't plan to fight, and he didn't insist.
In the middle of the night, the left side of the camp suddenly made a noise of gongs and drums, shouting and killing, the Qin army thought that the Song army had come to rob the camp, and they all picked up weapons and rushed out of the camp tent to prepare for the battle, but after waiting for a long time, no one found it.
As soon as Qin Jun went back and lay down to continue resting, there was another sound of gongs and drums on the right, and Qin Jun rushed out again with his weapon. After doing this several times in a row, everyone was exhausted, and Lin Peiyuan also secretly complained to himself.
A lieutenant said to Lin Peiyuan: "General, let's go back, this is the Song army's tired strategy, let's not fall for it." The next time the gongs and drums sound again, we don't have to pay attention to it, and we don't blame the blame for self-defeat, and they won't be noisy in two days. ”
Lin Peiyuan's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What if the Song army really comes to rob the camp next time?" I didn't come next time, what about next time? As long as the Song army really came once, we would be wiped out if we were not prepared. ”
Another lieutenant said: "Why don't we divide the 30,000 people into three teams, and every time the gongs and drums sound, these three teams take turns to come out to check, so that even if Song Jun really comes, we will have time to wake everyone up." ”
Lin Peiyuan nodded and said, "What you say makes sense, just do what you say." ”
Although the Qin army was divided into three teams and took turns to defend, there was still no one to see every time, and the soldiers were inevitably a little lax after a long time, plus the Song soldiers were like this every day for several days, and the state of the Qin army dropped significantly.
On this day, another lieutenant asked Lin Peiyuan for battle: "General Lin, the two camps next to us harass us day and night, which seriously affects the rest of the soldiers, and it is not a way to go on like this." The last general is willing to lead 2,000 troops to sweep them away and return our army to peace. ”
Lin Peiyuan pondered for a while and said, "Okay, Li Zhao and Guo Le, the two of you each lead 5,000 troops, and quickly go to sweep the two camps on the left and right." After the victory, if you find that the Song army has come to rob my camp, you don't have to come to the rescue, and you can directly lead the army to take Cangwu City. If the Song army didn't come to rob my camp, you would have come back first. ”
Li Zhao and Guo Le took the order and left, and Lin Peiyuan ordered: "The whole camp is ready for battle, prepare more things around the camp to start fire, if Tian Yulong dares to come and rob the camp, I will give this camp to him, and then burn him to death." ”
Li Zhao and Guo Le divided their troops into two routes, and each led their troops to kill Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan's camp. Shi Luosheng and the others were also prepared, and the bows, crossbows, catapults and other equipment to defend the city were already in full array, and Li Zhao and Guan Le were caught off guard as soon as they approached.
After withstanding the first wave of offensive, it encountered desperate resistance from the Song army. Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan also stood on their respective camps and took the lead and threw themselves into the front line of defense.
Li Zhao and Kuangle originally wanted to rely on their superiority in strength to win a quick battle, but now they had to change their strategy and organize people to take turns to launch a strong attack on the camp.
Although the Song soldiers were not afraid of death, they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers after all, and the hastily built camp was not strong enough to hold it for long. Shi Luosheng looked at the sky, and it was almost two hours, so he ordered a breakthrough.
Shi Luosheng rushed to the front first, Wang Lun followed closely behind Shi Luosheng, although he was only a literati, but the mountain bandits had learned some self-defense kung fu for a long time, although they could not be used to kill the enemy in battle, but the problem of riding horses and archery was still not big. At the same time, there were more than a dozen Song soldiers around Wang Lun to surround him in a circle, Shi Luosheng attached great importance to Wang Lun, and did not dare to let him encounter a little danger, so he usually sent people to follow and protect, and now he directly allocated a team of people to be his personal soldiers on the battlefield.
Shi Luosheng is so brave, where can ordinary soldiers stop it, after a while, Shi Luosheng led people to kill a hole and led everyone to break through. Li Zhao naturally refused to let go easily, and led the troops to pursue behind.
Seeing that Li Zhao was following behind, Shi Luosheng was not in a hurry to return to Cangwu, and asked Wang Lun to flee into the woods with his troops, while he took a few soldiers with good archery skills in the army to ride fast horses to block the Qin soldiers behind.
The woods are only suitable for scattered escape, not for large-scale marches, although Li Zhao has the advantage in numbers, he can't use it in the woods.
Shi Luosheng took advantage of the geographical advantage and took a few people to shoot arrows from a distance, and Li Zhao's people quickly fled as soon as they approached, and then released arrows again as soon as they were far away.
Although this did not hurt Li Zhao and the others, it also greatly reduced his marching speed. After chasing for more than ten miles, except for a few people in front of them, the rest of the Song soldiers could no longer see their figures.
Li Zhao saw that there was no result in chasing him any further, and at the same time he was worried that Tian Yulong would come to rob the camp, so he ordered the withdrawal of troops. Liu Zixuan on the other side also used the same method to get rid of the situation.
Besides, Tian Yulong learned in Cangwu City that Lin Peiyuan finally couldn't help but send people to rob Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan's camp, and he also ordered 30,000 horses and Xiao Yu to kill the camp of the Qin army.
When I arrived at the camp, I observed through the gate and found that the camp was empty, and there were not many people left. Tian Yulong was overjoyed, and led people into the camp without difficulty, and a few Qin soldiers who stayed behind saw the Song army rushing in, and fled in a hurry.
Tian Yulong smiled and said to Xiao Yu: "Second prince, we have won the first battle, and now we have made a great contribution." Wait for the next fire to burn this camp, Li Peifu did not leave Yulin City, defeating Lin Peiyuan can be said to have repelled the Qin soldiers, I didn't expect that this time we were faster than Deng Yuanjue, and the second prince would interfere in military affairs in the future, and Deng Yuanjue would not be able to intervene again. ”
Xiao Yu was also overjoyed: "I didn't expect that this Shi Luosheng really had two brushes, and he led Lin Peiyuan out with a casual plan." Captain, are we going to send troops to meet them now? ”
Tian Yulong said viciously: "What are you doing with them, I wish Lin Peiyuan would help me kill this kid, I haven't settled the account with him for killing my brother and niece and son-in-law." Besides, he is from the prince's side, if he dies, won't the second prince have less resistance to compete for the throne in the future? ”
Xiao Yu agreed: "Then according to Taiwei's words, let's stay here for a while and then go back to Cangwu, lest we go back now, and if we don't save Shi Luosheng, we will be gossiped about." ”
Just when the two of them were still indulging in joy, a raging fire suddenly ignited around the camp, Tian Yulong thought at first that it was his own people who set fire to the camp, and scolded in his heart, who is so anxious, I and the second prince set fire before we went out.
"My lord, it's not good, we have fallen into the scheme, the Qin army set fire to the camp, and they are surrounded by them, and we can't get out."
