The strategy of exhausting the enemy lies in the word "tired", no matter what way, as long as the enemy is tired, it is considered a success, it is obvious, the hundreds of soldiers armed with gongs and drums sent by Fu Quan, one after another, caused a "clang" sound, has made Huang Sui and the rebels under his command unable to sleep peacefully.

However, even so, Huang Sui sent troops out of the camp several times to solve this small Han army, but they were unsuccessful, not that the combat effectiveness of the Han army was high, and the rebels could not be controlled, but because the Han army that came out late at night to disturb the enemy, although it was disrupting everywhere, but they have always been a good grasp of their own scale, never approaching the rebel camp within ten miles, and always disturbing the enemy in a range that is not long or short from ten miles to twenty miles, and the advance and retreat are advantageous.

Even though Huang Sui sent several times of his henchmen out of the camp to kill the enemy, it was because of the cunning of the Han army, at this embarrassing distance, with the tactic of "the enemy retreats and I advance, and the enemy advances and I retreat", so that several of the troops he sent returned with feathers. Unless Huang Sui can order not to let the soldiers of all units rest, set up a strict formation around the camp, send heavy patrols, and prevent those Han troops from having a suitable place to disturb the enemy, so as to prevent that part of the Han army from continuing to deceive and harass the enemy.

It's just that, obviously, this is impossible, after all, most of the soldiers under his command, even his henchmen, can only barely starve, let those soldiers who are already empty-stomached, and then spend all night doing this kind of physically exhausting military action, it is impossible to say that it will trigger a new round of infighting again, which is obviously contrary to Huang Sui's intention to try to quell the internal strife in the rebel army.

For various reasons, this has caused Huang Sui's current embarrassing situation, but, in any case, for him, he can only endure it, if he is forced to let his soldiers patrol, who knows if there will be any more infighting among the soldiers in the daytime camp.

Now Huang Sui only hopes to last until tomorrow, he will organize the last wave of siege, and use the hunger of the soldiers under his command as a medium for them to ignite their beastly nature, and the food in Shuxian City is the driving force for these soldiers to attack, a Huang Sui is ready to gamble again, for this gambler who has been gambling since the rebellion against the Han Dynasty, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will not give up; After all, if he really wants to retreat, because of the shortage of food, it is obviously impossible to take all the soldiers away, so only first consume the strength of most of the generals who have opposed him because of lack of food in the past two days, to ensure that he is still the main leader of the rebels on the way to retreat, and no one can threaten his position, so Huang Sui has this move.

The night was coming to an end, and the rebel camp had gone through the Han army's repeated gongs and drums to disrupt tactics, and there was no warning at all, and they went out of the camp several times to guard against the Han army, but there was no trace of the Han army, so that they would never go out of the camp again because of abnormal movements, and they all plugged their ears in various ways, preparing to sleep well in the little time left in the night.

Of course, seeing that the sky was about to turn white, the hundreds of Lujiang soldiers who had not slept all night outside the city, who were sent out by Fuquan to disturb the rebels, finally gave up the gongs and drums they carried after the last beating of gongs and drums, this thing weighs too much, and now it is not needed, naturally no one wants to carry it, and then detour back to Shuxian County.

And on the way back, they did not forget Fu Quan's orders, when they came, they had already taken precautions, and in their hearts, they had already cut off the rebel spies sent by Huang Sui outside Shu County to monitor the movements of the Han army in the city, which was also part of Fu Quan's plan tonight.

As early as after deciding to adopt Qin Chuan's plan, Fu Quan convened the generals under his command to discuss the strategy, and the focus of their discussion was naturally how to ensure the rigor of the plan, after all, no one believed that Huang Sui would not send spies to investigate the news outside Shu County. Huang Sui is not someone else, but with his own strength, he instigated the Han and barbarians in Jiangxia and Lujiang counties to rebel against the master of the Han Dynasty, even if he was newly defeated, and there was no grain and grass in the camp, but it was undoubtedly too naïve to think that he would shrink his tail and stop beating Shu County.

Therefore, this is why Fuquan specially asked Lu Jun to choose the soldiers of Lujiang County, and after defending the city repeatedly, hundreds of elites who can still fight can still fight, so that they can come to harass the rebels with the terrain they are familiar with Lujiang, and at the same time, they also shoulder the heavy responsibility of secretly eliminating the rebel spies outside Shuxian County.

Only by eliminating these spies that Huang Sui placed outside Shu County, the Han army's surprise attack at night will have a great chance of success, because these spies are Huang Sui's eyes and ears in the night, without ears and eyes, in the dark night, Huang Sui can only be a blind and deaf man unless he goes against the sky, and he will not really understand the movements of the Han army until the Han army attacks the camp. At that time, Huang Sui and the rebels under his command, who were not prepared at all, were attacked by the Han army, and how much combat power could be imagined.

When those Lujiang soldiers dragged their tired bodies back to the north gate of Shu County to resume their lives, the soldiers of the Han army who had long been gathered in the north gate to rest finally gathered one by one after quickly eating their meals under the whispered call of the generals of each department. Of course, in fact, most of them were just fake sleeps this night, after all, they all knew that they were going to attack the thief camp at night, and for these Han soldiers who had always been eager to make meritorious contributions, they naturally wouldn't have much sleep.

Inside the south gate, more than 500 horsemen, more than 1,000 foot soldiers, holding torches, gathered here, looking at the commander Fu Quan in front of him with full of fighting spirit, waiting for his next order in a deep voice.

The Han Dynasty was good at raising horses and mules, even in Qingxu, Yangzhou and other places, thousands of horses and mules could be scavenged at will, and Shu County was guarding the city for several days, resulting in no loss of public horses or small private horses in the city.

This is a night attack, and Fu Quan has been through the battles in Youzhou and Yizhou, and he is also a master of night raids, so he naturally understands the advantages of horses in night raids, so he did not hesitate to scavenge all the horses in Shu County within one day, even if it was Lu Kang's mount that guarded Lu Kang, but also under Lu Jun's obstruction, Fu Quan personally found Lu Kang, who was recuperating in bed, and explained the details, and he also asked for it.

Of course, after all, there is a difference between water and soil in the north and south, and the horses in Shuxian County, unless they are purchased by wealthy families from the north, other southern horses, whether they are physique, strength, speed, or endurance, are far inferior to the horses of the Western Regions and Youzhou that Fuquan has seen in the past. However, at this moment, the traitor is outside the city, the road is close, and it is a sneak attack, and the horse's sprint strength may not be good, but it should not be a big problem.

"Gentlemen, this is dangerous, there are nearly 100,000 thieves, our army is 2,000, the enemy is outnumbered, and if you don't want to go, you can voluntarily go out and be alone", Fu Quan held wine with both hands, and said solemnly to the more than 2,000 soldiers under his command with solemn eyes.

Everyone present at this time everyone has a bowl of spirits in their hands, this is Zhuangxing wine, there is an old saying in later generations, wine is strong and courageous, originally if Fuquan's subordinates were all his old subordinates brought from Ba County, he didn't need to let his soldiers drink Zhuangxing wine before saying this, just let everyone drink, and then go to battle.

However, after all, many of the people under his command are recruits who have just been recruited from Zongyang County, and this time they are different from others, they are dignified and use weak troops to fight dozens of times the enemy, if some of them are afraid and drop the chain in advance, it is not beautiful, and it will not be a big deal, so it is better to directly pick out the words and let them stay to defend the city, which is what Fu Quan said in advance.

Sure enough, after Fu Quan finished speaking, in the middle of more than two thousand steps in front of him, someone's eyes suddenly flashed, and his face was hesitant, obviously thinking about something. But fortunately, although their expressions were wrong, no one took that step from beginning to end, which made Fu Quan feel relieved, after all, someone wanted to quit before the war, and he would also hit his own morale.

Then Fu Quan looked at everyone and shouted: "All the kings drink this cup bitterly, and wait for good news in the city alone." After speaking, he raised the bowl, saluted the soldiers in front of him, and drank it first.

After that, led by Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other generals, after drinking in Fuquan, they raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and then threw their glasses and shouted: "Please wait for good news." ”

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the more than 2,000 paces did the same, drinking the bowl to stop drinking, and then threw the bowl to the ground, and for a time there were clay bowl fragments everywhere.

"Order, open the city gate, go out of the city and attack the camp!"

After Fuquan gave an order, more than 2,000 paces of the cavalry, who had already been full of wine and meat, rode out, among which the horse's hooves and horses were wrapped in coarse cloth, and they went out of the north gate in turn. In the dark night, I only felt the murderous aura surging, under the blazing firelight, but there was an endless chill outside the city, and a killing was inevitable.

The rebel camp is only a few dozen miles away from Shu County, and for the more than 500 cavalry under the command of Fuquan, it will take a few moments, while the other foot soldiers have not accompanied the cavalry, but they have another task.

There seemed to be a whitish glimmer on the horizon, indicating that the dawn was coming, and the earth would not be gray as it was in the night, with very little visibility in the distance. In the rebel camp, after being naturally extinguished with the burning of many torches at this moment, for most of the soldiers, it was even more blind.

This point has also infected many people, and the soldiers in the camp who were even entrusted with important tasks by Huang Sui and sent to patrol the camp were a little unable to see the distance at this moment. On the one hand, because of hunger, they don't have much strength to patrol, so it is better to save some physical strength to rest; On the other hand, after the harassment of the Han army's gongs and drums at night, most of them thought that the Han army was just to disturb the enemy and had no intention of attacking at all, so they naturally let down their vigilance, and naturally they didn't pay much attention to the patrol camp.

As for the reason for their hunger, of course, it is that there is not enough food, although don't look at them as a rebel army, Huang Sui's henchmen are from a background, and they eat much more food than other miscellaneous troops of the rebels. However, after all, the food is limited, and what Huang Sui gives them can only ensure that they will not be like other troops, just to maintain the level of not starving to death, that is, to give them more food to facilitate their work.

The camp of more than 80,000 rebels is not a small number, and for the more than 500 iron cavalry of the Han army who walked quietly all the way without lighting a single torch, as long as they were careful, they could quickly find the location of the rebel camp.

Looking at the poorly defended camp of the rebels in front of him, the three main generals of the village this time, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, and Yan Yan, glanced at each other, and then the eldest Huang Zhong ordered: "Order, take out the coarse cloth on the horse's hooves and the horse's nose, light the torches, and prepare for a battle." ”

Not long after, more than 500 war horses, take off the coarse cloth, the empty field suddenly sounded a burst of horse nose, and then many Han soldiers in the rear lit the torches in their hands, and then as the three main generals pulled out the treasure knives in their hands, they asked loudly: "Meritorious service, at this time, what will you be?" ”

"Kill ......"

The horsemen responded vigorously, like thunder, instantly tearing apart the quiet night, and then more than 500 like a cold wind, instantly killing the rebel camp. The rebel camp was originally newly built and unfinished, and it was not as good as the semi-finished product, plus it was in the south, and there were very few large-scale cavalry, and for various reasons, there were naturally no horses and other things in front of the camp.

The traitors in the camp were awakened by the loud shouts and hooves of horses, some of them had just opened their hazy sleepy eyes, and they still thought that this was a trick of the Han army, and they had no idea of going out of the camp again to fight back, they just wanted to wait for the Han army to stop, and then go to the quartermaster to ask for more food after they had finished sleeping, and their stomachs were so hungry that they had no energy at all.

It wasn't until a sudden fire broke out in their tent that their beds burned that they woke up to an attack on the camp. I saw countless rebels in single clothes and no armor who were burned by the flames, and hurriedly rushed out of the tents, and before they could figure out what to do, they were killed on the spot by the oncoming and murderous Han army.

When the flames were ignited, many lazy soldiers woke up, hurriedly picked up weapons, and organized troops to come to meet the battle, but the Han army was not entangled with these armed rebel soldiers at all, they were around the camp, or took the unextinguished torches in the camp, or directly threw the torches in their hands, anyway, there was only one point, that is, to use various methods to light the tent, grain and grass and other things that can be ignited, and at the same time shouted "General Huang Sui is dead, the Han army is coming, everyone flee", for a time the fire was like a star, and the shouts were shocking.

The sneak attack of the Han army this time is not to kill many enemies, their purpose is to rob the camp, the operation is very simple, after knowing that Huang Sui's army has a crisis of mutiny, Fu Quan decided to add a fire to him, a fire that can burn the entire rebel army, and this fire is naturally just this robbery camp.

From beginning to end, Fu Quan never thought that with this little soldier and horse under his hands, he could fight Huang Sui's more than 80,000 people in hand-to-hand combat, although nearly half of the more than 80,000 people were old and weak women and children, and they couldn't go to the battlefield, but even so, the number of rebels was not something he could easily resist, so he could only outwit him.
