Chapter 371: Chickens Fly and Dogs Jump

"The Song army robbed the camp!" This hoarse roar suddenly exploded in the villagers' village. After a tiring day, the people were sleeping on the ground paved with straw, and the sound was like thunder. I don't know how many people's dreams have been awakened by this roar. The people who were on the verge of crawling up were terrified and asked each other what had happened. When they ran out of the tent, they were shocked to find that the camp was full of fire, and countless voices shouted almost the same words one after another. The Song army robbed the camp! Run for your life!

Looking at the chaotic crowd in front of them, these flat-headed people had no idea, but when they saw that the crowd was running back, they also joined the team in a daze. Under the light of the fire, the panicked people rushed to the Li army camp behind. Why run there? They didn't know it, they just rushed over because they saw others going in this direction.

In the Li army's camp, after the soldiers on guard discovered the fire, they already sensed that something was wrong. But soon, a tidal crowd shouted and poured into the camp, and the stunned soldiers, who did not bother to stop it, quickly reported the matter to the officers. The news quickly reached Li Zhi, the king of Hedong was shocked, and his first reaction was to order the troops to stop the people no matter what, and not let them break into the camp, otherwise, they would be killed! Li Zhi knew very well that if it was really the Song army that came to rob the camp, he didn't have to wait for the other party to rush and kill, and these people would be able to mess up his military camp!

The archers, who had been urgently assembled, could no longer remember what they had just seen in their dreams, and they quickly climbed up the arrow tower and poured out of the camp gate under the shouts of the officers, but when they entered the battle position, drew their feather arrows and were about to ride on the string, they found that the crowd had rushed in front of them!

Li Zhi rushed out of the tent before he even put on his armor, and his son Li Meng was chasing after him with his helmet covering his arms. Seeing the black crowd rushing straight to the camp, and seeing the fire in the distance, Li Zhi asked sharply: "Where is the Song army!" Where is the Song army! ”

No one could answer him, because no one had ever seen the shadow of the Song army, but they only heard others shouting and saw that there was a fire in the camp, so they fled for their lives.

"Block! Obstruct! The hysterical shouting of the officers kept the soldiers scrambling. Despite their best efforts to release an arrow, the people had already crashed into it and wrenched themselves together. As a result, these Li soldiers were also wrapped in the sea of people in a daze, and they involuntarily retreated.

"Father stay away for the time being, son is here to resist!" Li Meng handed the helmet to the person next to him and said loudly.

Li Zhi nodded, quickly climbed the war horse brought by his subordinates, and said loudly: "Don't let the people mess up!" The troops of the Purple Gold Tiger must be behind the people! Li Meng didn't hear his words, the second son of Li Yan, who was known for his fierceness, had already carried the equipment on horseback.

"Kill! Kill! Kill the campers on the spot! Li Meng urged his horse and crashed into the swarming crowd. The weapon in his hand flew up and down, no matter whether the other party was a civilian or a soldier! The soldiers behind him shouted and chased after him, and raised their broadswords at the headless people like flies!

Helplessly, caught off guard, too many people poured into the camp, wrapped in Li Jun's soldiers desperately squeezed back, and from time to time someone shouted "Song army robbed the camp!" "The huge camp was in chaos, and as soon as many soldiers ran out of their tents, they were staggered by the crowd, and they ran after everything was understood.

But Li Meng looked around on horseback, but he didn't see any Song Jun. Just when he wondered if there was an inner ghost, Song Jun finally appeared!

What caught his eye was a strange troop. A considerable number of these people ran desperately with bellows-like things, penetrated through the villagers' villages, and went straight to the camp! Although Li Zhi didn't know what kind of equipment the other party was using, he understood that he couldn't let this army get close!

But at this time, he really had nothing to do, and the people were surrounded by the soldiers, running into chaos, and they had already become a mess. All he did was shout, "Steady! Those who retreat without permission will be killed! His troops, on the contrary, were quite presentable, under the pressure of the main general's great strength, stabilized their positions, discharged a line array, and desperately strangled the people and comrades who rushed backwards.

The rebels and the people were blocked at both ends, and it was difficult to advance and retreat. Seeing this, Li Meng often swept down several people with a single swing of the big knife in his hand before taking the lead. Suddenly, a shadow flew up from the crowd! Throw him off his horse! When the soldiers saw it, they rushed up to grab the main general!

At this moment, the whistling sound was loud! Someone was busy looking up, but saw fire dragons flying from a distance, dragging their fiery red tails over their heads! Just as they were in doubt, disaster struck.

When the first explosion sounded, Li Meng's soldiers were stunned for a moment. But then, a series of explosions sounded, almost piercing the eardrums, and they finally realized that this was the firearm used by the Song army in defense!

The already chaotic crowd fell into a panic! The soldiers, who had previously struggled to stop the people, lost the courage to hold on and fled backwards. But the crowd became more and more chaotic, and the roaring firearms exploded directly in the crowd! Screams!

"Boss! I can't hold it anymore, let's go! A loyal subordinate general lifted Li Meng to his feet and howled loudly.

Li Meng pushed him away, gritted his teeth, stubbornly climbed onto the horse, held the big knife high, and shouted with all his strength: "Li Meng is here ......"

As soon as this word came out, the war horse under his crotch suddenly stood up and neighed! A four-foot-long arrow is nailed to the horse's chest! After the war horse fought in pain, it fell to the ground and overturned its master. Li Meng quickly got up, and when he was about to pick up the weapon, there was a loud noise! An invisible force overturned his grown body again! Despite the tinnitus and the pain of his head exploding, he still wanted to stand up! However, the crowd that burst like a levee soon overwhelmed him!

In the distance, Zhang Xian on horseback watched all this coldly. When the two hundred "Thunder Arrows" were released, he raised his right hand and said loudly: "Ma Jun, rush!" ”

"Brethren! Follow me! "A horse commander commanded a steel spear with a long handle, and his legs slammed into it! The war horse under the crotch shoots out like lightning! Behind him, fifteen hundred tigers roared and galloped! The horse's hooves trample the earth with a thunderous sound! This army is like an arrow from the string, straight into the Li army camp!

"Report! Prime Minister! The Song army robbed the camp! ”

Sticky Han suddenly got up from the bed, stared at the person with wide eyes, and asked quickly, "What! ”

The person who came half-knelt on the ground and pointed behind him: "The Song army is coming to rob the camp!" ”

"Where to attack!" Sticky Han lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed.

"When the Song army came out of the north gate, he only heard the thunder of war drums and roars! I don't know how many soldiers! The man replied loudly.

Without waiting for Sticky Han to react, another general broke into the account and reported angrily: "Prime Minister! The Song army came out of the east gate and came to rob the camp! ”

The voice fell, and two more generals broke in almost at some point, and even said the same thing: "Prime Minister, the Song army robbed the camp!" ”

Sticky Han's heart suddenly fell! What's going on? Is this still called a robbery? This is clearly an attack on all fronts! Am I crazy, or is the Purple Tiger crazy? The black light is blind, and he dares to come out of the nest? It's night!

Wanyan Lousu hurriedly entered, and was taken aback when he saw that the tent was full of people. Then he stepped forward quickly, and said as he walked: "Don't be surprised, Prime Minister of the country!" This is the usual trick of the Purple Gold Tiger! ”

"Oh? What's going on? Sticky Han's attention was completely absorbed by him, and he asked anxiously.

"Prime Minister! When they were in Gong County, the Xu brothers used this trick! Take advantage of the night to swing the drum and feint to attack, so that our army is tired to cope! In fact, a false shot is shown, and the real trick is not seen! Wan Yan Lou Su replied.

Mu Han kicked away a golden general, rushed to him, and said, "You mean, the Purple Golden Tiger is just harassment?" ”

This Lou Su didn't dare to guarantee it, and said in a deep voice: "Don't dare to decide!" At the beginning, when we surrounded Pingyang, the defenders attacked several times overnight, attacking from different directions, but retreated before they could engage the troops. Very similar to tonight, the last general estimates that he will not really attack until later! ”

Mu Han's two eyes rolled aimlessly, and after a moment, he waved his hands violently and said, "Pass my orders!" Armies need not panic! In the night, it's hard to tell the difference between friend and foe! The Lianghu army did not dare to act rashly! ”

Several Kim generals withdrew from the account and quickly conveyed military orders. Sticky Han took a deep breath from his nostrils, gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Wei! ”

Lou Su was about to speak, his mouth was already open, but suddenly it was as if he had been immobilized. He seemed to hear something, turned his ears to listen! His face suddenly changed, this is ...... The explosion of the Song army's firearms! What went wrong?

Sticky Han obviously heard it too, he pushed Lou Su away, rushed out of the tent, and looked around! The first thing he saw was that the southern sky was a fiery red! I looked down and saw the flames rushing to the sky! His heart jumped, and he asked urgently: "Lou Su, who is camping there?" ”

After coming out, Yan Lousu glanced at it a few times, thought for a while, and replied: "It seems to be Li Zhi's camp!" ”

The face of the prime minister of Daikin is suddenly distorted! Teeth are gritting! Looking at it like this, it is obvious that it has been won by the Song army, obviously where did the fire come from? Li Zhi was also a military general of the Southern Dynasty in the past, how could he be punished? In desperation, he roared: "Someone! Check it out at Li Zhi's camp! ”

After a while, the people sent to Li Ying to check on the situation had not returned, but they saw a group of people stumbling and falling, some on foot and some on horseback. In front of the tent, a knight rolled off his horse, and was supported by others and rushed forward. Big things are not good! ”

Sticky Han and Lou Su were familiar with this voice, and it was not until the man arrived in front of him that they found that it was actually Xiao Yuanke, a Khitan general. Seeing him fall off the horse's back and being supported by others, I thought he was injured, but now when I look closely, he doesn't have any scars on his body, but his face is very embarrassed, and his face seems to be a footprint? Did you let people step on it?

"Prime Minister! Just after hearing the explosion, the last general urgently ordered the troops to be on alert and not to move! But who would have thought that from Li Zhi's military camp, countless people poured in......"

The Khitan general hissed and was just halfway through his words, when Mu Han almost didn't chop him. Because I don't understand what he's talking about! It was Wanyan Lousu who quickly summoned an official who understood the Khitan language, and only then did he understand.

It turned out that as soon as Xiao Yuanke saw that something was wrong, he estimated that it was the Song army who came to rob the camp. He had much more time than Li Zhi, so he ordered his troops to be on guard and not to move without trespassing. Unexpectedly, countless chaotic soldiers poured in from Li Zhi's military camp, scurrying around like ghosts chasing them! Xiao Yuanke was also very decisive, and immediately ordered to shoot and kill, no matter what, he would block it back!

Unexpectedly, there were more and more chaotic soldiers, the back was chased and killed, and the front was blocked, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, regardless of life and death. At this time, I don't know where to fly the fire dragon, and it exploded all over the ground! Not only the Li army, but also the Khitan army, knew the power of the Song army's firearms, and they panicked when they landed!

The result can be imagined, the Khitan army was swept up by the Li army again, and retreated in vain. People and horses trample on each other and make a mess! Xiao Yuanke was knocked to the ground in this chaos, if it wasn't for the rescue of his subordinates, he would have almost been trampled to death by the chaotic army!

Sticky Han listened to it and trembled! The teeth are almost crushed! He closed his eyes, raised his head, and simply came out of his teeth with two words: "Xu Wei!" ”

Xu Wei was sitting on the second-story enemy tower in the southern city of Chang'an at this moment. He didn't pay attention to the war here, but set up a table of wine and feasted his old friend Ma Zichong.

Although Ma Kuo is the senator of the Xuanfu Division, he doesn't know why, although Li Gang uses him, he is far from meeting his own expectations. As a result, he had no way of knowing the core secrets. For example, tonight's robbery camp, Xu Wei invited him to the banquet, and he only learned about it when he arrived at the enemy building.

Materials are in short supply, and Xu Dashuai's hospitality is also shabby. A basket of pot helmets, half a pot of mutton, and the only stir-fry is the plate of bacon. But Ma Kuo has always suspected that this is only October, and this bacon must have just been pickled, and it definitely has no flavor.

The only thing that is decent is the jar of wine, according to Xu Jiu, it was given to him by Li Xuanfu. It seems to be produced in Shuzhong, and the name is also special, called "Jiannan Burning Spring".

Xu Wei sat there at this time and poured himself a drink, occasionally sandwiching a slice of unflavored bacon into his mouth and chewing it. It's been a hard time, there's no food to eat, just eat meat, and the can't be pulled out, damn!

Ma Kuo stood in front of the railing, overlooking the flames of Jinying. After a while, he said: "Dashuai, it seems that Zhang Xian has succeeded." ”

Xu Wei didn't care, and greeted him politely: "Don't just look at it, come and come, drink and drink." ”

Ma Kuo didn't move, looked at it for a while, and then turned back to the table, and said with a smile: "I've always wondered, with the style of the Purple Gold Tiger fighting, it is impossible for him not to think of touching the camp's hand." And I heard that your firearms are so powerful that the cannon fires and the sound shakes the sky, alas......"

Xu Wei frowned, and said with a wry smile: "That's weird, you said it impassionedly earlier, why did you add a 'sigh' to me at the end?" ”

Ma Kuo smiled indifferently, did not answer, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all. Putting down the cup and asking, "Dashuai, do you know what Ma admires about you the most?" ”

"Anyway, you definitely don't admire my handsomeness." Xu Wei is colorful.

Ma Kuoxiao shook his head, and then said, "From the time I met Dashuai to now, I have almost never seen you panic. Whether it's in Binh Duong or Chang'an. When the soldiers are in the city, you can still talk and laugh freely......" Speaking of this, he nodded vigorously, "You are worthy of being a general!" ”

Xu Wei took a sip of broth and replied: "I'm not panicking, that's because I have confidence, and my confidence comes from the Hujie soldiers." ”

Ma Kuo agreed: "That's right, whoever you replace, as long as you have the capital of the handsome, you won't panic." ”

This was a bit excessive, but Xu Wei didn't mind, but instead lifted the jar and filled the other party with wine, and said with a smile: "I like Brother Zichong's temperament, there is one thing to say, not beating around the bush, not high and high." ”

Ma Kuo glanced at him: "That's also a scorer, for example, in front of Xuanfu Xianggong, I will try to say as little as possible, or even not say it." ”

"Why is that?" Xu Wei asked strangely.

Ma Kuo shook his head again, drank the wine, and then changed the topic: "Chang'an, Sticky Han can't be defeated, you rob it again tonight, it is estimated that he will have to reconsider his strategy." ”

Xu Wei didn't speak, he was still pondering what the other party had just said.

"Advancing to Chang'an, this is not wrong. But Muhan's miscalculation was that he should not use all his strength to besiege a big city like Chang'an. And it's even when you know that you're strong. If it's me, don't attack the fortifications, choose the elite division, and take advantage of the Guanzhong Plain that is conducive to the conflict of the horse army to contain you. Wave the division again to attack the Huanqing Quduan! Qu Shi Yin also has the means to fight, but how can Huanqing's troops compare with your tiger Jie? The patchwork rabble has just made a mutiny. I guess that even with a stroke, it should be forced to wipe the neck at this time. ”

He sighed with emotion, and after waiting for a while, no one applauded, and said with a wry smile: "I said Xu Dashuai, Xu Jingluo, are you listening?" ”

"Listen. What you say sounds right, but it's still a bit different. The Jin army had sufficient troops first, and secondly, it captured Yanyan, and its morale was booming. In addition, we have obtained the method of manufacturing the equipment of our army. I can honestly say that if it weren't for Wang Yu's extreme defense, and relying on the advantage of firearms, although it is not said that Chang'an will definitely fall, it will at least be extremely difficult. How can I still have the comfort of hosting my brother at the enemy tower today? Xu Wei's open and honest attitude is very good for Ma Kuo.

Victory, not rejoicing, defeating, not discouraged, with thunder in the chest and a face like a peaceful lake, can worship the general. No wonder Li Gang worships the general, which shows that Li Xuanfu still has the wisdom to know people, but I ...... He smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up his glass again, and drank it with his neck tilted.

There was a sound of heavy and hurried footsteps on the stairs, Du Feihu ran upstairs and walked straight towards Xu Wei, just stretched out a hand, and wanted to whisper in the ear of the handsome. But Xu Wei said: "Brother Zichong is not an outsider. ”

"Marshal, all the soldiers and horses have returned to the city, and only Zhang is left to control the road." Du Feihu said in a low voice.

Xu Wei's hand holding the wine glass stopped, then put down the glass, went to the railing, and looked at the golden camp. At this time, the fire is obviously weaker, so it is supposed that Zhang Xian should come back, right? I'm not worried about what Jin Jun will do, I'm afraid that Zhang Xianlian won't retreat, and when the time comes, I'll have to get myself involved and can't get out.

"Isn't this coming back?"
