Chapter 326: The Death of Hou Qin

p

Due to the failure of the previous breakthrough, the morale of the Qin army was low, and the entire Chaibi City was as quiet as death.

In the evening, the scouts sent out by Yao Ping came back one after another, bringing the latest movements on the front line.

Yao Xing failed to build a pontoon bridge, and the reinforcements were always blocked on the west bank, and his self-confidence was greatly damaged, and he was no longer able to rescue Chaibi.

After listening to the scout's report, Yao Ping was silent for a moment, then left the room and summoned the generals to announce the final decision.

As soon as everyone entered the hall, Yao Ping said: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the reinforcements are trapped on the west bank, and our army's food and grass have been exhausted. ”

"To put it bluntly, the Chaibi army has reached a desperate situation, and there is no way out but to surrender."

The generals have long experienced their own situation, and now after listening to what Yao Ping said, they all turned pale and at a loss.

Yao Ping glanced at everyone, and said in an impassioned tone: "Your Majesty treats me like a mountain, and I will never surrender to Hexi." ”

"Yes...... But if we don't surrender, where will we go? ”

Yao Ping said: "Ben will decide to launch the last breakthrough tonight, whether it will be successful or not depends on the present dynasty!" ”

"Huh? This...... Didn't we just break through and fail? Someone asked, puzzled.

"It's precisely because of failure that you have to organize it again, otherwise you are really willing to wait in Chaibi?"

Yao Ping first glanced at everyone with a stern gaze before he said in a gentle tone: "The art of war is cloudy: surprise and attack unprepared!" ”

"The Hexi Army has just won a big victory during the day, and the garrison will definitely be a little lax tonight, and they won't expect us to sneak attack."

Everyone was fooled by Yao Ping, and their emotions gradually rose, after all, if there is a way to live, no one wants to wait for death, right?

So, everyone stepped forward and asked Yao Ping: "Dare to ask where the general is going to sneak attack?" ”

Seeing that his subordinates were no longer loveless, Yao Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes flashed and he said, "There is a pontoon bridge in the southwest of Chaibi, which can lead directly to the opposite bank. ”

"Tonight we will give it a go and concentrate all our forces to attack the southwest."

"As soon as you break out of the encirclement, immediately run across the pontoon bridge to the west bank."

"There is His Majesty's army on the other side, and we will be safe after crossing the river."

"General, the pontoon bridge is a key protection point of the Hexi Army, can we break through?"

"If you can't break it, you have to break it, otherwise you and I will have to explain it here!"

"This is our last chance, if we don't succeed, we will be benevolent!"

……

When night fell, the bright moon in the sky was obscured by large dark clouds, and the whole land was plunged into darkness.

Yao Ping ordered all the soldiers and horses, took advantage of the night, took the remaining soldiers and horses, and quietly approached the Hexi army camp.

From a distance, the Hexi military camp was lifeless.

Only the night patrol team is patrolling and guarding in a very regular manner, which makes the entire military camp extremely tightly guarded.

When Yao Ping saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and the Hexi Army seemed to be more cautious than he imagined.

He had fought many times with the Weishuo Hexi Army before, and basically won less and lost more.

suffered a lot, which also made Yao Ping cautious and did not dare to act rashly.

But now that it's out, how can you go home empty-handed? So, Yao Ping ordered the army to be hidden and waiting.

More than 10,000 soldiers quietly hid in a bush outside the camp, just tonight the moon was dark and the wind was high, which was very suitable for concealment.

After waiting like this, I waited for an hour and a half, and waited directly until midnight.

At that time, the patrol team gradually became sleepy, not only reducing the number of patrols, but also reducing the patrol area a lot.

After Yao Ping found this, he patiently observed for a while, and finally waited for the situation he was looking forward to.

At this time, it was even darker, and in the Hexi military camp, there was even a sound of snoring.

It was only at this time that Yao Ping gave the order to prepare for the attack.

He divided the army into three parts, and asked the two lieutenants to lead thousands of people each, and killed the Hexi army camp from the left and right flanks respectively, and set fire to the camp.

And he led the rest of the men and horses into the camp from the main gate.

The plan was decided, Yao Ping took the lead and rushed towards the camp.

When the Qin soldiers arrived, the patrol officer Fang Rumeng woke up, but unfortunately it was too late, and before he could figure out the situation, he was directly killed by Yao Ping.

Soon, the gate of the Hexi Army camp was broken open by Yao Ping, and as soon as countless Later Qin people entered the camp, they began to kill on a large scale, no matter who they met.

All of a sudden, the fire in the camp was soaring, and the fierce fire turned into a huge fire dragon under the blowing of the night wind, opening its bloody mouth, stretching out the steaming tongue of fire, and burning everything unscrupulously.

The Qin soldiers rushed unscrupulously in the Hexi military camp, venting their frustration fiercely.

The barracks in a sea of fire further fueled the arrogance of the Qin army and made them more and more invincible.

……

Although Yao Xing and Yao Ping were separated by the Fen River, the noisy fighting on the east bank still woke him up from his sleep.

When he walked out of the camp tent with his coat on, he saw that the direction of the Hexi military camp on the opposite bank was full of flames, and thick smoke rose into the sky.

At the moment, he can't figure out the truth for the time being, is it Yao Ping who sneaked up on the Hexi Army? Or did the Hexi army deliberately set a trap to lure the Chaibi army into falling for it?

Yao Xing immediately reorganized the army, lined up on the west bank of the Fen River, held high beacon fires, beat drums and shouted, and supported Yao Ping's army on the east bank.

Hearing the sound of Qin Jun's drums and trumpets on the other side, Yao Ping thought that Yao Xing was also launching an offensive against the Hexi Army, and his morale was greatly boosted, and at the same time he once again ordered to increase the intensity of the attack.

Looking at the sea of fire in the Hexi military camp, Yao Ping couldn't believe that the sneak attack was successful!

But the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Looking at the Hexi army scattered and fleeing, Yao Ping immediately said, "Quick, rush in the direction of the west ferry!" Whoever grabs the ferry first will be rewarded with ten thousand gold! ”

Under the heavy reward, the Qin army rushed towards the ferry without the slightest scruples.

Yao Ping also couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and as soon as he pulled the reins with his hand, the mount suddenly rushed out like an arrow off the string, and disappeared after a while.

Yao Ping took the lead, and the rest of the people were not far behind, and they all rushed to the ferry.

ran for three miles in a row, until Yao Ping was so tired that he was out of breath, and finally arrived at the ferry.

He raised his eyes, but saw that there was no one near the ferry, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

However, just as Yao Ping led the army to the pontoon bridge, things developed beyond his expectations, and suddenly saw several rows of Hexi troops waiting on the opposite bridge and holding crossbows.

In an instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows were like a raging storm, thinking that Yao Ping and everyone shot over.

"Whoosh ......"

The crossbow arrows pierced the sky, densely packed, like flying locusts, and flew head-on towards Yao Ping.

Yao Ping was taken aback, he never expected that the Hexi Army would have an ambush here.

In desperation, he could only wave the spear in his hand, forming an impermeable wall and enveloping his entire body in it.

Although martial arts are practiced to a high depth, there is a saying that splashing water does not enter.

However, Yao Ping's martial arts have obviously not yet reached the realm of heaven and man, and the splashing of water cannot be compared with the crossbow arrows that come from the burst.

As soon as his spear danced, a sharp arrow struck with great force.

It flashed a cold light in the air, like a bolt of lightning, and instantly passed through the phantom, impartial, right in Yao Ping's left eye socket.

"Ahh

The spear that was still dancing couldn't help but stop, this stop, it's broken! Yao Ping immediately tragic.

One after another, crossbow arrows hit Yao Ping's body and the mount under his crotch.

After a while, Yao Ping and his horse were shot into hedgehogs, and blood continued to flow out from all over his body.

"General!" The rest of the Qin generals happened to see the scene of Yao Ping and his men and horses being shot by arrows, so they shouted loudly.

Seeing that they had successfully shot Yao Ping, the Qiaotou Hexi Army not only did not retreat, but continued to shoot crossbow arrows at others.

At the same time, there was a sudden fire all around, and countless Hexi troops emerged from all directions, and the shouting of killing was deafening for a while, and they rushed straight to Xiaohan.

Hundreds of Hexi cavalry were surrounding and killing from all around, and the Qin army, which was originally very proud, suddenly fell into an ice cave, and was at a loss.

Under the ambush of the Hexi army, the Qin army turned on their backs, and could no longer care about breaking through, and fled in all directions.

It's a pity that under the siege, where can the Qin soldiers flee?

In addition to some people who raised their hands to surrender, there were also a small number of people who were unwilling to surrender to Hexi and jumped into the Fen River one after another.
