Chapter 970: Night Dark and Set Fire to the Sky
The day after Xi Changzhen's envoy left Xingyang County, it was about one o'clock in the afternoon.
The soldier looked happy and hurried to the palace to see Hu Zhiguang.
After a short time, Hu Zhiguang came to the hall dressed in armor. After Hu Zhiguang saw the expression on the soldier's face, he immediately asked, "Looking at your happy appearance, is there any news of Li Zhen's army?" Previously, Hu Zhiguang received Xi Changzhen's order to send soldiers to pay close attention to the movements of Li Zhen's army, and someone monitored the movements of Li Zhen's military camp day and night, so he asked as soon as he saw the soldiers.
This is the benefit of Li Zhen letting Lu Shaochuan leave in advance.
Otherwise, Lu Shaochuan will leave in the future, and he will have to fall into Hu Zhiguang's eyes.
The soldier respectfully reported: "The general is wise, and he has indeed investigated the situation in Li Zhen's military camp. Last night, Li Zhen led the army out of Xingyang County. It is estimated that Li Zhen took about 2,000 soldiers with him, leaving about 1,000 soldiers in the barracks. The soldiers kept following to investigate, and found that Li Zhen was advancing in the direction of Nanming Pass with the soldiers. At the same time, after the soldiers who investigated the news returned, they found that Li Zhen's military camp was still the same, the camp tents had not been reduced, the pots and stoves had not been reduced, and the soldiers at the gate of the camp had not been reduced. ”
"Hahaha......"
Hu Zhiguang laughed and said, "Good, good discovery!" ”
At this moment, Hu Zhiguang walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, quite complacent.
In his heart, he already wanted to win the battle.
The soldier continued: "The barracks outside the city were deliberately left as they were, I think it was to make the general mistakenly think that their numbers had not decreased, so that the general would not dare to attack. It's a pity that their every move was exposed under the eyes of the general, and they couldn't escape the general's sight! ”
Hu Zhiguang patted the soldier on the shoulder and said, "Brother, our chance has come!" ”
The soldier was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Hu Zhiguang meant.
Seeing that the soldiers couldn't react, Hu Zhiguang waved his hand impatiently and ordered: "As far as your little brain, you don't understand it." Quick, find Xu Yun and Lin Ping immediately! The soldier was confused and went to give the order, and soon, two henchmen under Hu Zhiguang's command arrived.
Lin Ping bowed and said, "General, I hurriedly invited the humble post and General Xu Yun, what happened to you?" ”
Hu Zhiguang said: "It's a big thing, and it's also a good thing!" ”
Lin Ping was still confused and asked, "General, what is the matter?" ”
Hu Zhiguang smiled and told Li Zhen about his withdrawal to Nanming Pass.
Lin Ping said: "It's indeed a good thing! ”
Hu Zhiguang nodded and said excitedly: "Now, Li Zhen's army has left Xingyangxia, leaving a thousand soldiers to guard an empty shell. You say, is this a chance for us to destroy this part of the soldiers? When we destroy the 1,000 soldiers left behind, we can pretend to be the soldiers left behind, and then go to Nanming Pass to raid Li Zhen. Hehe, I'm such a genius. In this battle, only victory is allowed, not defeat. We can't lose to Zhou Chen and Huang Bai, we must run ahead of them. ”
Xu Yun was quite happy, and said loudly: "If the general goes out, he will definitely succeed!" ”
A little sycophant, Hu Zhiguang is even more complacent.
Hu Zhiguang ordered: "Immediately go and gather the troops and horses, and we will attack the soldiers who remain behind." ”
Lin Ping's eyes rolled and he persuaded: "General, I think the most appropriate time is chosen at night." In the past of our raid, they are few in number, and most of the soldiers who stayed behind are still sleeping, which allows us to take down the remaining soldiers to the maximum extent to prevent them from escaping. ”
"Well, Mr. Lin's suggestion is good. That's it, night attack! ”
Hu Zhiguang determined the time and immediately asked the two to prepare.
……
Xingyang County, within the city.
South of the city, inn!
Inside the room, about a dozen people sat here.
"The president's plan has reached the most critical stage, and we are an extremely important link in this most critical stage. Therefore, there can be no sloppiness. We must always pay attention to Hu Zhiguang's movements, and once Hu Zhiguang leads his army out of the city, we will start moving, understand? The leader of this section spoke.
"Understood!" The rest replied.
"I won't say more, just go out and do your own thing." Again, the leader said.
The people changed into different clothes and then all left.
……
At nightfall, a full moon hangs in the sky. The cold moonlight sprinkled down and shone on the county seat of Xingyang County, dyeing the streets in the city with a layer of silver-white brilliance.
"Step! Trample!!! ”
Dense footsteps rang out in the streets, and an army came running quickly.
This army is 5,000 elite soldiers under Hu Zhiguang. In this battle out of the city, Hu Zhiguang left the original Xingyang County Commander to stay behind, and took Xu Yun and Lin Ping's henchmen to go out together. After all, everyone knew that Li Zhen's army was elite in weapons and strong in combat, so even if Hu Zhiguang knew that there were only 1,000 soldiers left, he attached great importance to it and poured out with the soldiers.
The army reached the gates of the city, and as the gates creaked open, the army quickly left.
At night, the army quickly disappeared from the sight of the soldiers defending the city.
After Hu Zhiguang led his army to approach Li Zhen's camp, he asked the soldiers to slow down and quietly advance. After the army hid outside Li Zhen's barracks, Hu Zhiguang watched the situation in the barracks from afar. At this time, the fire in the barracks was flickering, the patrolling soldiers patrolled meticulously, the soldiers stationed there, the rest were empty, and all the soldiers had already slept.
The corners of Hu Zhiguang's mouth rose, and he said in a cold voice: "There are still so many camp tents, liars!" ”
He raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger hard.
"Bang!!"
A gunshot broke the silence of the night.
Hu Zhiguang stood up with a snort, rushed forward with a single step, and shouted: "Kill, kill in!" Hu Zhiguang shouted with his gun in his hand, and rushed forward as the first soldier, and the soldiers around him also attacked. This sudden change made the Chinese soldiers stationed in the camp stunned for a moment before they shot back. However, in the face of the attack of 5,000 soldiers under Hu Zhiguang's command, the little soldiers stationed in the camp were not enough to see at all, and they kept retreating.
Soon, Hu Zhiguang led his army into the camp.
Hu Zhiguang looked around and found that many of the camps did not have soldiers.
Rao is like this, Hu Zhiguang doesn't care, and is still yelling: "Kill me, kill all the soldiers left in the barracks!" "It is strange that his soldiers searched for several minutes, and they did not find any soldiers in a tent.
At least, the soldiers who are still left!
Hu Zhiguang suddenly thought of a possibility, and chuckled in his heart, he must have been tricked.
Before he could give the order to retreat, he saw countless torches burning around the camp. Immediately after, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air was heard, and one after another flaming rockets were fired, landing in the camp, setting the camp on fire. Behind the rocket fire, machine guns were fired outside the camp to prevent Ho Chi Quang's soldiers from breaking through.
Hu Zhiguang understood that he was really a trick.
