At dawn.

In the Chu camp, the candles in the tent and the candlestick burned to the bottom, emitting a thin smoke.

On the bed, Han Zhitong was sleepy.

Running around for days, coupled with the worry that Han Xi was still in the north and whether he would defeat the Yan army, he couldn't sleep for a long time last night, and only after the second watch did he feel sleepy.

While he was asleep, there was a quarrel of guards outside, and Han Zhitong woke up in his sleep, with anger on his face and unhappy in his heart.

Before he woke up from sleep, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Han Ximing grabbed a short sword in his hand and strode into the outer tent.

Don't stop, pick up the sword and walk into the inner tent.

"Xi Ming, why don't you break into the inner tent with a sword without going through the rumor?" On the bed, Han Zhitong, who was half-awake and half-asleep, saw the short sword in Han Ximing's hand, and couldn't help but ask coldly.

Although Han Ximing is a child of the Han family, he leads the pro-army and is his right-hand man!

But he was woken up in his sleep, Han Zhitong was already very unhappy, and now, Han Ximing was lifted by a sword and broke into his private residence, Han Xitong was unhappy, and he didn't know what Han Ximing was doing?

There was a faint bad premonition in my heart.

The matter was urgent, Han Ximing couldn't care about Han Zhitong's reprimand, grabbed the hilt of the sword, hugged his fists and said hurriedly: "Uncle, the matter is urgent, Yan Qi suddenly went south, took advantage of the dawn and night, broke into the camp, the nephew was anxious, where he was offended, I hope that my uncle will not blame, and he should block the Yan army first." ”

The Yan army went south and attacked the camp by surprise?

Hearing the sound, Han Zhitong, who was half-awake and half-asleep, was shocked by the news like thunder in an instant!

It's as if cold water is poured directly on his head, and he forcibly wakes up even if he is not awake, and sits in the bed!

Not daring to delay in the slightest, Han Zhitong hurriedly jumped down from the soft couch, hurriedly put on armor and boots, grabbed a sword, grabbed a longbow, and hurriedly walked out of the big tent.

Outside the tent, Han Xitong, Han Xicai and a few generals who had followed him for a long time all stood outside the tent, looking nervous, their faces tense, and a little tired.

In addition, there were bursts of shouts and killings in the distance, one after another, and it seemed that they were only two or three miles away from the tent.

"What the hell is going on? Emperor Yan was not leading his troops dozens of miles away, how could he suddenly attack the military camp? "When I rested last night, I also planned to counterattack the Yan army, and now I ...... Yan Junbing approached the barracks, and Han Zhitong said angrily.

He found that since the defeat of Yuejiang City, in the past few days, the news sent back by the spies of the Chu army seems to be half a beat behind the Yan army.

Yesterday's plan to attack the east and west, and today it was inexplicably attacked in the camp, and the intelligence and the actions of the Yan army are often in an asymmetrical state!

made the Chu army passive everywhere, and was pressed by the Yan army step by step, without the slightest respite!

Hearing this, Han Xitong hurriedly surrendered his hand and said loudly: "Uncle, how fast the Yan army is, how fast the movement speed is, yesterday the Yan army was on the way south, I don't know when, secretly appeared near the camp.

At present, the Yan cavalry attack, all black-clothed armor soldiers, the number of about twenty or thirty thousand, the nephew believes that since the Yan Emperor sent an army to risk advancing, hoping that twenty or thirty thousand Yan cavalry will hit the Chu army hard.

Why not take advantage of the scarcity of the Yan army, seize the opportunity, slaughter 20,000 cavalry, and reverse the long-term defeat of the Chu army. ”

Han Xitong's words, instead of reassuring Han Zhitong, on the contrary, became more and more panicked and nervous in his heart.

Black-clad warriors, ironclad cavalry, or bladed warriors?

No matter which Yan cavalry, it is invincible in the northern battlefield, and it is not easy to deal with!

Han Xitong didn't know the details of the Yan army, how could he not guess the identity of this cavalry!

At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, he was defeated by the ironclad cavalry, Yue Yunshan, Xiong Kui, and the Xuanjia soldiers were all defeated by Emperor Yan with bladed soldiers.

Yan cavalry attacked, Han Zhitong did not dare to despise it, hurriedly dispatched troops, arranged properly, and took Han Xitong to the lookout in person to observe the movement in the camp.

The sky was slightly bright, the four sides were dim, and the line of sight was not good, even if he was condescending, Han Zhitong still couldn't see the battle situation near Yuanmen, only in his ears, there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and the sound of Yan riding rushing and killing, like a magic sound, hit Han Zhitong's heart hard.

The failure of the Northern Expedition and the signs of the defeat of the Chu army couldn't help but surround his mind.

Three or four miles away from the tent, in the gate of the military camp, two Chu generals led tens of thousands of infantry, relying on the built camp, and went all out to block the onslaught of the Yan cavalry.

In the dawn of night, Yan Qi suddenly killed, so that the Chu army was caught off guard!

Even though in order to prevent Feng Shihu from leading the iron cavalry south, he built a ravine outside the camp and deployed two rows of horse fences, and in the camp, a large number of horse traps were deployed to trip the horse ropes.

However, the Yan cavalry galloped from the north with great momentum, still easily passing through the ravine, destroying the horse fence, and rushing to the vicinity of the military camp like a wolf.

In a state of pressure, storm the Chu army!

The Chu army took attack as defense, held high the iron shield, and shot a rain of arrows against the crossbow in the Yan rider's hand, and moved forward step by step, constantly pulling the bow and shooting arrows, and carrying short swords, shuttling through the edge of the military camp, and strongly blocking the Yan army's charge.

Outside the camp, a dense defense was formed, forcing the galloping Yan cavalry to slow down and fight with the Chu army in close combat.

In the chaotic army, the officers and men of the Chu army were like mirrors, and the Yan cavalry seemed to fall from the sky, and the Chu army was not on guard and did not have an advantage. If you don't try your best to block it, in the dawn mist, tens of thousands of Chu troops are likely to not see the morning sun.

On the other side, Han Ximing and Han Xicai received Han Zhitong's military order, each with 5,000 Xuanjia soldiers, from the outside of the tent, to the east and west sides, to block the Yan cavalry who tried to attack from the left side, and resisted stubbornly.

How many troops of the two armies attacked and defended, and General Yan Chu knew very well.

During the battle, the Yan Chu army began to fight desperately for several key places.

The rising sun in the east gradually rose, and Han Zhitong stood on the lookout and gradually saw the battle taking place near the camp.

In war, it is much better than you might expect.

Although the Yan cavalry was violent, the number of attackers was not large, and the generals of the Chu army did not escape from the battle.

Generals everywhere, leading the army, bloody battles, so far there has not been a large-scale Yan cavalry into the barracks.

After a fierce battle for a long time, the two armies of Yan and Chu were in a state of equal strength, Han Zhitong smiled and said nothing, but he didn't dare to be careless.

In his impression, when the blade warriors go to war, there must be the whereabouts of Emperor Yan, and now outside the Chu army camp, only 20,000 Yan cavalry have appeared, and the remaining 80,000 Yan cavalry, where Emperor Yan is hiding, these are the things that Han Zhitong is most concerned about!

"Uncle, what does Emperor Yan mean, he has 100,000 blades under his account, and he can easily break through the Chu army camp. How could he only send 20,000 Yan horses, could it be that Emperor Yan still had any ulterior intentions? Han Xitong, who was standing side by side beside Han Zhitong, was condescending, and when he saw the situation near the camp, he was very puzzled.

Hearing this, Han Zhitong's face was solemn, he didn't know the number of blade warriors. Sensing that his uncle was silent, Han Xitong continued: "Uncle, according to the current situation, Emperor Yan most likely wants to use 20,000 Yan cavalry to pretend to feint and attract the attention of the whole army, so he can take advantage of the situation to concentrate the main force, lead troops from the north to the south, and break through the camp.

Uncle and nephew requested, lead the army, go to the main gate to set up, in addition, the uncle asked for help from the Cai army in the city on all sides, and strive to rescue the Cai army in the battle between the two armies of Yan and Chu, and the Cai army surrounded Yan Cai, at that time, we can take the opportunity to counterattack, there will be a counterattack into victory, and it is possible to defeat Yan Cai. ”

Han Xitong has always had a strategy, and in desperation, Han Zhitong thought deeply of him, and immediately ordered Han Ximing to lead thousands of pro-troops into battle to assist the generals who were fighting the enemy head-on, and block the incoming enemy in the front.

Han Ximing received the order, hurriedly left the lookout, and personally led about 4,000 pro-troops to participate in the blocking battle near Yuanmen.

In the crisis, the four thousand guards led by Han Ximing were all dead soldiers of the Han family, and their combat effectiveness was as strong as the Xuanjia soldiers, and even surpassed the Xuanjia soldiers in terms of fierceness in combat!

This tribe came from the eastern part of the Chu State and was loyal to the Han clan alone. At this moment, put into the battlefield and immediately contain the Yan Cavalry led by Luo Da himself.

made the galloping Yan Cavalry completely fall into a melee.

In addition, on the east and west wings, although the Yan army had an advantage, Han Ximing and Han Xicai each led 5,000 Xuanjia soldiers, relying on a strong camp and the desperate combat effectiveness of the Chu army, the two barely blocked the Yan cavalry attack.

On the lookout, Han Zhitong had long since disappeared, returned to the tent, and ordered more than ten guards to escape from the barracks while the camp had not yet been surrounded by the Yan army, and asked the officials of the surrounding Cai State City for help.

The defeat of the Northern Expedition made Han Zhitong deeply jealous of Lin Feng and Yan Qi.

On the lookout, I witnessed the situation that the northern attack was invincible, but it was blocked by the Chu army in the south, and it did not achieve a battlefield similar to that of the north.

At this moment, he couldn't help but have a little confidence in his heart, and secretly told himself that as long as he defended to the rescue of the Cai army in the city on all sides, and defended until Lin Feng was surrounded, the Chu army had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to hold a big counterattack, kill Yan Cai, and even kill Emperor Yan.

In the battlefield, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it is to the Chu army, and Han Zhitong is more and more sure in his heart, Yan Qi is not suitable for the southern battlefield.

However, he stayed in the tent, but he didn't know that two miles away from the tent, Lin Feng personally led 30,000 blade soldiers, marching south with great momentum, rushing towards the military camp.

Lin Feng, who was galloping wildly, tightened the reins of the horse, guessing Han Zhitong's psychology.

According to his guess, there has been no news of the retreat of the Chu army so far, and it is estimated that Han Zhitong and the Chu army are still lucky.

It is estimated that the report has other purposes, but in the face of the absolute strength of the main force of the blade warriors going south, the 30,000 Chu troops left behind by the Chu army commander alone cannot set off the wind and waves!

When the blade warriors rush down, they will sweep the Chu army in a rough and decaying state!

However, there is one thing, Han Xitong's guess is right, Lin Feng sent 20,000 Yan cavalry, which was indeed attracting the attention of the Chu army.

Luo Da led the army, only responsible for feints, so that the Chu army became a frightened bird, and the 30,000 bladed soldiers he led were the main force to dismember the Chu army.

In the barracks, Han Zhitong hoped to use the infantry to form a defense at the Yuanmen, hoping to keep the enemy out of the Yuanmen, which was simply wishful thinking.

Although there are 5,000 elites on the east and west lines, on the whole, the defense is weak, and there will be the direction in which Yanqi will break through.

The war horse galloped, Lin Feng personally led 30,000 blade soldiers, detoured to the direction of the Chu army's camp, and in a short time, he had already rushed to the east and west fronts.
