Chapter 443

At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent: "Report! ”

"What's the situation?" Murong Jun hurriedly asked.

"Your Royal Highness Qiqi, the front line probe the Malay report, in the evening, there are many soldiers and horses of the Zhao State approaching the Erlangzi section in the lower reaches of the Qiushui River, which is only more than fifty miles away from Yuyang!"

"How many people are there?"

"When the Tanma found them, there were at least 20,000 people gathered! It is estimated that the number is still growing! ”

"Who's leading the troops?"

"Look at the banner, it's Zhao Guoshizun's Li Chengjun!"

"Second brother, are the people of the Qian tribe ready to do it?" Murong Ke asked.

"It's good to come!" Murong Jun thought for a while and instructed Murong Ke: "Tonight, you take five thousand elite horsemen across the hill and water, and take advantage of Shi Zun's unstable foothold to sneak attack his camp!" ”

"Second brother, what if this is a trap?" Murong Ke was quite worried.

"Don't worry, Shi Zun is arrogant and empty-eyed, he won't be afraid of our sneak attack, the more he is not afraid, the easier it will be for the guards to relax! The more beneficial it is for us! Murong Jun said.

Murong Ke nodded in agreement.

"Remember, you are only trying to test them today, don't get entangled with them!" Murong Jun admonished.

"Little brother understands!"

Murong Ke was about to leave, but Murong Jun suddenly called out to him: "Slow! ”

"Second brother, what else do you have to order?"

Murong Jun thought about it, looked at the map again, pondered for a while, pointed to a place on the map, raised his head and instructed Murong Ke: "You come and take a look!" ”

Murong Ke hurriedly poked his head over.

"For the sake of safety, you cross the river from here today! Bypass the Erlangzi section and go north again! ”

A smile appeared on Murong Ke's face, and he exclaimed, "Second brother! Good strategy! I understand! ”

……

Shi Zun looked at the Qiushui River that had begun to freeze, and then looked at the vast land as far as the eye could see, the cold wind was blowing, and he couldn't help but wrap the cloak on his body.

"Your Highness, it's windy outside, why don't you rest in the tent?" The lieutenant next to him reminded in a low voice.

Shi Zun shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that Prince Ben doesn't want to rest, it's that the Xianbei people over there don't let us worry!" Shi Zun frowned slightly, and ordered: "Send a scout horse to the north!" In case of a night attack by the Xianbei people! ”

"The last general commands!"

"And!" Shi Zun turned around, looked at the deputy general beside him, and ordered: "Pass the order, let the brothers rest well today!" Early tomorrow morning, this prince will learn the skills of the two Murong brothers! ”

"Yes!"

At night, on the banks of the Qiushui River, the cold wind was even more harsh, and the people of the Qianzu tribe standing guard wrapped their sheepskin jackets tightly, shrunk their necks, and walked back and forth to keep warm while shivering.

According to the information obtained by Shi Zun, the Xianbei people were stationed near Yuyang, on the east bank of the Qiushui River. According to the calculation of the direction, his position is about fifty or sixty miles away from the Xianbei people's camp, and it does not take an hour to arrive quickly.

Therefore, based on this situation, Shizun Daying is facing north-south, facing northeast, and facing Yuyang. Shi Zun is not exactly a wine bag and rice bag, the camp of more than 30,000 Li Cheng troops, according to the terrain, the construction of the barracks is quite particular about the formation.

The north wind was blowing, and the fighting spirit of Li Chengjun was weak, so he just wanted to get into the quilt and sleep for a while.

Around midnight, it is the best time of the day when people are sleepy, and those on duty on night patrol can hardly open their eyes, let alone those who are sleeping.

Murong Ke and his men and horses were all dressed in blue-gray winter clothes, covering their faces with turbans, and everyone led the horses and stood still.

Murong Ke looked at the camp burning with a bonfire in the distance, then looked at the sky, estimated that it was about the hour, and ordered his subordinates: "Get on the horse!" ”

Five thousand cavalry, under the leadership of Murong Ke, rushed straight towards the back of Li Chengjun.

The wind helped Murong Ke a lot, covering up the sound of his horse's hooves, and he didn't light a torch, so Li Chengjun didn't react until Xianbei was close in front of him.

"Someone has robbed the camp! Someone hijacked the camp! The gong sounded immediately.

Shi Zun, who heard the movement, suddenly woke up from his sleep, grabbed the armor beside him, and asked, "What happened!" ”

At this time, the guards outside the tent came to report in a panic: "Your Highness, the Xianbei people attacked ...... at night."

"Sneak attack?" Shi Zun didn't expect the other party to be so bold, and asked again, "How many people?" ”

"I can't see clearly, about five or six thousand!"

"Five or six thousand! Panic what! Shi Zun said, and rushed out with a knife.

When Shi Zun rushed out of the camp, he found that his camp was in chaos, and the cavalry of the Xianbei people were on a rampage, but Li Chengjun was never able to stop effective resistance.

Shi Zun saw it, and was naturally anxious, this was his first battle with the Xianbei people, if he was disabled by only 5,000 people, how would he face Shi Hu.

Thinking of this, Shi Zun instructed his lieutenant guard: "Come with this king!" Immediately stop the centaurs and round up this group! ”

Seeing that Shi Zun was desperate, Li Cheng's army naturally had confidence, and the 30,000 army began to assemble, wanting to encircle 5,000 Xianbei men.

Although Murong Ke was young, he was still rough and fine when he started fighting, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he hurriedly led people to retreat and did not entangle with Shi Zun.

Seeing the retreat of the Xianbei people, and he suffered a loss, Shi Zun was very unwilling, and he was about to chase after him, but his subordinates couldn't stop him, and he chased out for more than 20 miles, except for shooting a few sporadic Xianbei people, the rest found nothing.

"Your Highness! Can't chase it anymore! Beware of the Xianbei people waiting for us! Shi Zun's lieutenant shouted.

Of course, Shi Zun knew the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing, but it was really difficult to swallow a breath in his heart, and it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he didn't break these Xianbei people's corpses into thousands of pieces.

It's just that after weighing it, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, Shi Zun has no choice but to retreat and does not chase again.

When I returned to the camp, I saw that the whole camp was in chaos, many tents had been burned, and the morale of the soldiers was also a little low.

The deputy general beside Shi Zun saw this situation, and then saw that Shi Zun's face was green, he was very knowledgeable, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, and said: "Your Highness, it is the last general and others who are incompetent!" Please forgive your sins! ”

"Please forgive your sins!" Everyone said in unison.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face when you reach out, these subordinates really know Shi Zun's temperament too well, originally Shi Zun also planned to take one or two people out to kill an example and improve their combat vigilance, but he didn't expect everyone to give him such a paragraph, Shi Zun instantly didn't know who to take the knife, after all, the law does not blame the public, and they can't all be cut.

So Shi Zun could only swallow all his breath back into his stomach and glared at them.

"Take an inventory, how are the casualties, how much is the loss!" Shi Zun commanded angrily.

"The last general obeys!" The man in the lead kowtowed repeatedly.

Looking at the mess in front of him, Shi Zun suddenly remembered Tan Yuan, with him, he would take care of everything properly, why do you need to worry about it like this.

However, Tan Yuan was in Yecheng, taking care of other affairs for himself, and he couldn't withdraw at all, and for a while, Shi Zun actually felt a little lost his backbone.

It didn't take long for the following casualty losses to be counted.

"Your Highness, more than 300 tents were burned, 800 stones of grain and grass were burned, and ...... were injured."

"How about the dead and wounded! Say it! Shi Zun was a little annoyed.

The man said stupidly: "More than 4,000 people were injured, and they died...... More than 2,300 people ......"

When Shi Zun heard this, he jumped like thunder: "What! Two or three thousand people died! ”

"Yes......"

"Are you sure you didn't count wrong?"

The man buried his head lower and whispered, "No mistakes......

Shi Zun was extremely annoyed, waved his knife and cut off a wooden stake next to him, and roared angrily: "It's just an ordinary sneak attack of the Xianbei people, and the loss of 12 out of 10 men and horses, two more times, wouldn't we be wiped out!" ”
