As night fell in early summer, on the city wall of Hekou Town, the enemy camp tent that seemed to be a little sparse outside the city, Ruan Xiaowu's eyes couldn't help but show a little confusion.

It has been many days since Xue Ju personally led his troops to attack Hekou Town, and in the past, the camp of 40,000 Xue Ju's troops was densely spread outside the city, surrounding Hekou Town, and the dense firelight illuminated the entire sky.

Now that the hour was approaching, the fires of Xue Jujun's camp outside the city were bustling, shining listlessly in the night sky.

"Hurry up and invite the second brother and Xiao Qi to come!"

Looking at the obviously somewhat abnormal Xue Jujun camp outside the city, Ruan Xiaowu's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked the guards around him to invite Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi to come.

"Stomp, stomp!"

"Fifth brother, what's wrong? Called us so late."

In just a few minutes, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi hurried to the city wall, and Ruan Xiaoqi complained to Ruan Xiaowu from afar.

After days of fierce offensive and defensive battles, whether it was the soldiers under his command or the three Ruan brothers, they all looked a little tired, and the three of them took turns to be on duty, and today it was Ruan Xiaoqi's turn to rest, and he was called up by Ruan Xiaowu before he lay down and didn't sleep for long.

"Second brother, Xiaoqi, look at the camp opposite"

Ruan Xiaowu didn't answer when he heard this, and pointed to the Xue Jujun camp outside the city and said solemnly to the two.

"Huh! How does this Xue Jujun's camp feel that there are fewer people? ”

Seeing this, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi also immediately saw the abnormality, and Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but say in surprise.

"Little Wu, when did you find out?"

After carefully looking at the Xue Jujun camp opposite for a while, Ruan Xiaoer turned around and asked Ruan Xiaowu.

"I also just found out that judging from the camp tent on the opposite side, the number of people is at least half less than before!" Ruan Xiaowu said with a solemn expression.

"Fifth brother, do you mean that they are in doubt, and Xue Ju may have already run away?"

Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help smacking his lips and said excitedly.

This was good news for them, and Xue Jujun's constant onslaught was a lot of pressure on them.

"Ran away? How can it be! Although Xue Jujun suffered a lot of casualties in the previous battle, there were still nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses available, and we were already almost to the point of exhaustion, Xue Ju had such a big advantage, if there was no intervention from external forces, it would be impossible to give up halfway! ”

Ruan Xiaoer denied Ruan Xiaoqi's conjecture and said.

"So what's going on now?"

Ruan Xiaoqi frowned slightly, looking a little puzzled, and pointed to the Xue Jujun camp outside the city and then asked.

"Judging from the layout of Xue Jujun's camp on the other side, it doesn't look like a fraud, and Xue Ju is afraid that he has really left with his troops. There are only two possibilities for such a situation, either external forces intervene or internal chaos. Kong Youde has been taught a lesson by Sima Yu since last year, his strength and prestige have been greatly damaged, and now he is busy licking his wounds, and he should not be able to intervene in the internal struggle of my Liangshan army, according to the information he got before, Sima Yu, the king of the south, is also leading his troops to besiege the second and third commanders, and he should not intervene, so the rest is probably a mess in Bailu City. Xue Ju led his troops to attack Hekou Town, Bailu City must be empty, maybe the Heavenly King has been out of Xue Ju's control, otherwise Xue Ju would not have led his troops away overnight in such a hurry! ”

Before the two brothers, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi, had carefully checked the situation of Xue Ju's military camp, and concluded that it was not like Xue Ju had specially ordered someone to invite them to come, and combined with some intelligence information obtained before, it was reasonable to speculate.

"Little Five, what do you mean?"

Ruan Xiaoer heard that Ruan Xiaowu seemed to have other plans in his words, and asked out loud.

"Second brother, Xiao Qi, right now the city is already trapped and the food is exhausted, and continuing to be trapped is tantamount to a dead end. Now that Xue Ju has suddenly led his troops to leave, the Xue Ju army who stayed outside the city must be panicked and their morale is not high, if we take this opportunity to select elite soldiers to raid at night, we will definitely be able to break the enemy army outside the city in one fell swoop. When the time comes, we will not only be able to relieve the siege of Hekou Town, but also find out the situation in the outside world.

Seeing that Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi also preliminarily agreed with their views, Ruan Xiaowu couldn't help but propose.

"Second brother, fifth brother is right, instead of sitting still, let's fight to the death!"

After guarding the city for days, Ruan Xiaoqi, who had already been a little impatient, immediately echoed when he heard this.

"Good! Xiao Wu, Xiao Qi, you immediately go and select three thousand elites, let's attack in time and break the enemy army outside the city in one fell swoop! Ruan Xiaoer didn't hesitate anymore when he heard this, and immediately ordered the two of them to go to select elite soldiers and prepare to send troops at the right time.

In early summer, as time passed, the fog outside Hekou Town, which is adjacent to the Yangtze River bank, became thicker and thicker, and the vast white fog enveloped the entire land.

"Crunch!"

Under the cover of night and white fog, the southern gate wall of Hekou Town slowly opened, and groups of soldiers quietly rushed out of the city under the personal leadership of the three Nguyen brothers.

At this time, it was the most sleepy time of the day, not to mention Xue Jujun, who had been fighting fiercely outside the city for a day.

When the three Ruan brothers led their troops to approach the Xue Jujun camp less than 100 meters away, several soldiers guarding the gate of the camp had already fallen crookedly to the side, unaware of the impending danger.

"Up!"

Seeing this, the three Ruan brothers were overjoyed, and they each led a large army to the camp of Xue Jujun's army in three ways.

"Click!"

With a few crisp sounds of broken bones, several sleeping guards in front of the camp gate lost their lives in their sleep.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

"Kill!"

A steady stream of troops poured into the camp under the leadership of the three Nguyen brothers, and the three army soldiers went to the camp in three ways.

"Quick! There is an enemy attack! ”

"Enemy attack!"

The 3,000 army cut down people when they saw them in the camp, burned them when they encountered the camp, and quickly killed them in the direction of the main tent of the army in the camp.

The churning waves of fire and the screams of their companions woke up countless sleeping Xue Jujun soldiers, and when they fled from the camp one by one in disheveled clothes, they were greeted by blood-stained butcher knives and waves of fire rushing in their faces.

Under the sudden attack, the morale of the soldiers who stayed behind Xue Ju's army, which was already depressed due to Xue Ju's sudden departure of his troops, fell to the bottom in an instant, and it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack, and the 6,000 army was about to collapse under the attack of the 3,000 Hekou Town army, and countless routs clashed wantonly in the camp.

The flames soared into the sky, screaming again and again, and the entire Xue Jujun camp was in chaos.

"Don't run! No escape! ”

Zhao Hong, the commander of the left-behind Xue Ju army, who had just put on his battle armor, looked at the chaotic camp with a pale face, and kept waving the war knife in his hand to slash at the rout soldiers rushing on both sides, trying to stop the rout of the army.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

The morale of the thousands of troops had been lost, and the catastrophe was imminent, and no one paid any attention to the shouts of the commander-in-chief, and still fled out of the camp without his life.

In the night, Xue Ju, who was already more than ten kilometers away, stopped, looked at the direction of Hekou Town, which suddenly burst into flames, clenched his fists, and his face turned pale.

Xue Ju knew in his heart that Zhao Hong outside Hekou Town was finished!

"Gao'er, Zhao Hong is finished, the three Ruan brothers will lead the troops to chase after tomorrow at the latest, I will give 4,000 soldiers and horses, you will set up an ambush in this mountain, and stop the three Ruan brothers for me!"

After pausing in place for a while, Xue Ju turned around and instructed Xue Rengao.

The siege of Hekou Town was lifted, and the three Ruan brothers would inevitably soon find out the situation in Bai Lu City, and with their relationship with Chao Gai, they would most likely lead troops to support Chao Gai, and setting up an ambush here would have miraculous results.

"Father, don't worry!"

Xue Rengao raised the halberd in his hand and said confidently.
