At the beginning of June, the Central Plains was the hottest time of the year, and there was not a drop of rain for nearly a month, and as far as the eye could see, the ground was only cracked and yellowed, and even the most heat-tolerant vines curled up their stems.

Unscrewed the kettle, dipped it in cotton yarn, moistened his chapped lips, and a young man dressed in withered grass and plastered with dirt on his face quietly crouched in the grass, staring intently at the Qi army company camp that could not be seen at a glance...... Although the temperature on the surface seemed to be good for baking eggs, he was unaware of it, and as he watched carefully, he recorded what he saw.

The scout couldn't remember the first few days that the Qi army had been scouting, but before the prince had made up his mind, he had to continue to keep an eye on it.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that the robe touched to change the guard: "Chi Yu, go down and rest," the young man who had been dried up nodded his head, smiled at the successor, and quietly crawled out of the grass......

He had climbed far away, and when he reached the back of a small hill, the young scout breathed a sigh of relief, and lay on the ground to catch his breath for a while, then staggered to his feet, and walked away into the night.

Fifty miles north of the Qi army company camp, is the Qin army's 300,000 cavalry stationed in a large camp, although the number of battles is less than half of the Qi army, but first, the number of civilians required by the cavalry is much more than the infantry, and second, the border army and the forbidden army, the forbidden army's Taiwei Department and the royalist department do not want to be next to anyone, the camp stretches for thirty miles from east to west, but it is five miles more than the Qi army.

As the vanguard of the forbidden army, the main camp of the Jingshan Army was at the forefront of the 18th Company Battalion.

In the Chinese military account, after receiving the intelligence analysis handed over by Tu Gongchun, Qin Lei looked at it word by word, and then said slowly: "There is no abnormality......

After many days of military career, Tu Gongchun's nerdy spirit had already been worn away, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, the banners of the Baisheng Army of Qi State and the border guards of Thirty-six Towns are all there, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is exactly the number needed by the 400,000 army. After a slight pause, he said: "And the four major generals are all here, so the students think that the main force of the enemy army is all here." ”

Qin Lei's brows were tightly twisted into chrysanthemums, and his gaze wandered: "I always feel that something is wrong." ”

The generals sitting at the bottom glanced at each other, and it was the oldest Huangfu Zhanwen who spoke: "Lord Wang, if you have any doubts, there should always be a reason, you might as well say it, and the big guy will think about it." ”

Qin Lei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Intuition, Mr. Gu feels that Qi Jun is too normal...... There is something abnormal about normal. ”

Yang Wenyu said softly: "Since you can't make up your mind, let's attack at night." No matter what bezoar dog treasure, it will be exposed after a beating. ”

Qin Lei looked at Shen Qing again, and Shen Qing nodded and said, "My subordinates think the same way." Since he guessed wrong last time, he has become more and more unconfident in front of Yang Wenyu.

Retracting his gaze from the three commanders, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Actually, the best choice is to stand still. "At present, it is the invasion of Qi and the defense of Qin, the officers and soldiers of the two sides are different in beliefs, and the Qin army is not prone to negative emotions such as homesickness and burnout in order to protect their homeland. However, as an aggressor, the morale of Qi must be maintained by victories and burning, killing and looting again and again. Therefore, the soldiers all said that it was not appropriate to stalemate with the opponent on the enemy's territory.

Everyone understands this, but the edict on the desk reads: 'A general attack within ten days.' Looking at the payment time, it was already seven days ago.

"Our army is short of food." Yang Wenyu said with a worried face: "Even people and horses have more than a million mouths, and the grain and grass consumed every day are really amazing, and the materials that the imperial court has reserved for a year are only enough to support more than forty days." ”

"More than forty days, that is, the beginning of August...... When will the autumn grain arrive? Qin Lei asked softly.

"The drought in the north is out of hope. There is a bumper harvest in the south, but the road is far away, and it must be October at the earliest. Shi Wei, who was in charge of the quartermaster, scratched his head and quickly replied: "I can't fill the two-month vacancy." ”

"Tightly?" Shi Meng asked in a rough voice, "One day's grain is eaten for two days." ”

"If it were tight, Cao Mengde wouldn't have had to cut off the head of the grain and grass officer back then to appease the army." Huangfu Zhanwen smiled bitterly and said: "As long as you are hungry for three or five meals, the iron man will have no strength, and it won't take half a month, Zhao Wuyi won't fight, and we will all lie on the ground." "The so-called 'soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first', in this era, the importance of grain and grass cannot be overemphasized. In order to save military rations, only a meal before the battle will be full, and the supply on weekdays is only enough to eat six or seven percent full, and if you want to save again, the gains outweigh the losses.

In fact, this is common sense, but the Jingshan army has sufficient food and straw, and it is full of food, so Shi Meng, who has never been in the brother army, will ask such a ridiculous question.

"Actually, you can wait a little longer," Chang Yunqu, who had recently been promoted to deputy commander of the major, had gradually approached the inner circle of the palace, but he was becoming more and more low-key, and he didn't speak until everyone had spoken: "Or...... Reduced by half. "In the era of cold weapons, cavalry-based troops did not need too many soldiers and horses to contain two to three times as many infantry. However, if you want to defeat an infantry group with a tight formation and rich experience, you have to use a considerable number of troops to charge and fight fiercely.

"So in the final analysis, Your Majesty is not greedy enough, and you have to want a victory worthy of pro-conquest!" Huangfu Zhanwen said with a hesitant face: "It was a mistake for the imperial driver to go to the expedition. Because of Qin Lei's position, the group of generals under him generally lacked respect for Emperor Zhaowu.

Seeing that his subordinates were getting farther and farther away, Qin Lei coughed lightly, pulled the topic back to his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, let's sneak the camp tonight and test it." The woman's sixth sense had saved him many times, so he respected the uneasiness, and he would do his best to stop the march until he was completely reassured......

"Tonight's camp will be handed over to ...... Brother Wenyu. In the envious eyes of the other two, Yang Wenyu Huo Ran got up and said, "The last general is ordered!" "There is a cloud in the art of war: 'Steal the camp at night, nine wins and one loss.'" It's basically a job of making a profit.

Because the field camp is dozens of miles, even if it is a number of ants, it is impossible to protect the periphery tightly. Cavalry attackers can always find a gap and take advantage of their unpreparedness to get in. And the night is dark, the black is rumbling, and the subordinates have just woken up from their sleep, but any general with a slightly normal mind will restrain his subordinates and strictly prohibit them from running around. However, at the same time as holding together for self-protection, the gap between battalions and battalions has also been invisibly widened, and as long as the sneak attack troops do not enter the water and do not break into the enemy's formation, they can basically come and go freely, and they can also set fires, reconnoitre, or something, and the journey is quite pleasant.

Moreover, the General Staff Office had already drawn up several sets of plans in advance, and General Yang only needed to choose one of them and improve it slightly.

It's famous, it's profitable, it's safe, and we've always loved it.

After receiving the order, Yang Wenyu did not stay for a moment, and immediately returned to the camp to order three elite cavalry, ordering them to make all preparations within half an hour...... In fact, apart from blackening the knife, there is nothing to prepare, who made our Jingshan Army's clothes all black with clear water?

When this little work was done, the soldiers could have a full meal, rest for an hour and a half, and wait for the officer to wake up. As for the work such as feeding the war horses, it would be good to leave them all to the people.

In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is really a good time to kill people and set fires.

Three thousand cavalrymen of the same color as the night quietly slipped out of the camp from the back village and headed in their own directions.

Yang Wenyu also took a large team and arrived at the scheduled departure place in a circle.

Yang Wenyu raised the clairvoyant mirror, but he couldn't see anything except a few campfires. But he wasn't annoyed, because that's how a late-night barracks should be.

After carefully observing those bright spots, comparing them with the enemy camp during the day in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and said softly: "Fight from the southeast, kill from the northwest, don't fight, don't stay, and can't easily change direction, let's go!" The captain of the leading group made a deep promise, and led his subordinates to disappear into the darkness.

As a senior commander, Yang Wenyu naturally will not take the lead, but the tension in his heart is no less than that of the soldiers in front. He rode on top of the mound and looked motionless into the darkness, and although he could not see his face clearly, it must have been full of anxiety.

After a suffocating quarter of an hour, the sound of the horses' hooves finally sounded, and it was the night warriors who began to charge, and they had to pick up their speed before entering the enemy camp...... The reason why the infantry is helpless to the cavalry, speed is the key.

The cavalry, which had been killed in the darkness, advanced from a distance of seventy feet from the southeast corner of the enemy camp...... According to the scouts' repeated observations, this is one of the weakest points of the opponent's defenses.

The cavalry in the vanguard fired rockets, which fell to the ground and hit the wall, illuminating the way to the advance.

Although the Qi army was good at setting up obstacles, the camp was too big for enough deer to keep away horses, so they had to dig some deep and shallow, wide and narrow trenches instead...... The depth and width are related to the attitude of the officers and soldiers, and the section where the Qin army chose to break through was the result of the perfunctory efforts of the officers and soldiers who dug the pit.

Of course, even if it is perfunctory, this trench is nine feet wide, and ordinary grassland war horses can't cross it at all, but without three, two, three, who dares to go up to Liangshan? The reason why Qin Lei chose Yang Wenyu's department was because the first division supplemented three thousand high-headed war horses imported from Dashi, and the height and weight of these horses were nearly half of those of the grassland war horses, which was not only very magnificent, but also faster in speed.

Qin Lei intended to set up a super cavalry, so he gathered a total of 3,000 food war horses that he had obtained in the past three years and handed them over to Yang Wenyu...... Shen Qing and Huangfu Zhanwen were naturally envious, but everyone agreed in advance that the best performer in the military exercise would get it, so the two of them could only swallow and spit dryly.

Then I saw a beautiful war horse leaping high, effortlessly crossing the ditch blocking the way, and then smashing the simple wall open, and the army rushed in like a school of fish......

As soon as the sound of horses' hooves sounded, it immediately alarmed the patrols of the Qi army, and suddenly the gongs sounded everywhere, warning every corner of the barracks that we were being sneak attacked!

But in the face of the cavalry that resisted the galloping wind, no one dared to use their arms as a car, and the patrolling soldiers scattered and fled, allowing the Qin army to enter the camp without hindrance, shooting bundles of rockets into the mushroom-like tents.

For a while, the flames were everywhere, and the soldiers of the Qi army scattered and escaped with their bare butts, which seemed to be very smooth.

The four major generals guarded the camps in the east, west, north and south respectively, guarding Zhao Wuyi's Chinese army, and the southern camp that was attacked was Chen Liefeng, who was known as the strongest besieger.

The general slept very hard, and his own soldiers pushed him several times before he woke him up from his spring dream, and as soon as he heard that the enemy had stolen the camp, he immediately came to his senses, ran out of the military tent barefoot, and shouted at his own soldiers: "Blow the assembly trumpet!" Then he said to the leading soldiers and generals who came in a hurry: "Tripping horses and ropes are all pulled up?" ”

The general didn't bother to salute, and replied loudly: "The main passage is all pulled up!" ”

"Is the Wuhan Iron and Steel car ready?" While taking the boots and putting them on his feet, General Chen, who had a red beard, asked with grin...... The pebbles on the ground are really ugly.

"It's set up before nightfall." The general said with admiration on his face: "The general's clever calculation will definitely make the enemy come and go!" ”

Chen Liefeng finally dressed up neatly, and laughed: "Let's go, accompany General Ben to the tower to have a look!" "It seems that I am very proud of the anti-theft system I designed.

The Great Qin cavalry wantonly spread wild in the Qi military camp, setting up countless tents. When they rushed to the hinterland of the camp, when the first few horsemen suddenly mixed garlic under their feet, and even the men and horses fell out violently.

"Tripside!" The cavalry behind the hulled shouted: "Jump! Then they stirred up their horses and crossed the rope. As soon as he landed, he was tripped and fell to the ground by another one, and fell out hard, looking at the fierce momentum, there was almost no chance of survival.

"No way!" In the enemy's camp, the comrades were too busy to take care of themselves, and they didn't have time to go forward to confirm, so they turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the simple camp tent of the Qi army.

By the light of the fire, Chen Liefeng on the tower was dumbfounded, and pulled his beard and said, "Ball, why don't you take the usual path?" ”

The general hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, we still have the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car Formation." As he spoke, he glanced at the torrent of enemy horsemen, and said with some humility: "As long as we can stop them for a quarter of an hour, our pikes will be assembled." ”

The so-called Wuhan Iron and Steel car formation is Chen Liefeng's three Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles that are connected to each other in the camp in order to prevent an attack on the camp, and the Wuhan Iron and Steel car is seven feet high and five feet wide, and no horse can cross it, which can not only block the cavalry, but also give the infantry a support.

Stepping on dozens of camp tents in a row, the Qin army was really blocked by the car formation, and seeing that the enemy army had begun to assemble, the captain who led the troops shouted anxiously: "Untie it!" ”

The horsemen who rushed ahead dismounted, cut the hemp ropes connected to the chariots with a few swords, and pushed them aside with all their might, making a way for the large army, and the cavalry rushed through the gap.

If this is done three times, it finally passed through the three lines of defense of the Qi army.

Seeing this scene, Chen Liefeng's face became extremely ugly, he never imagined that the opponent's response was so fast, could it be that the leading general was a genius? Of course not, it's just that before the battle, Yang Wenyu had already estimated these situations, and he had already listened to the methods with his subordinates.

The general had no choice but to comfort again: "Fortunately, our army has been assembled and will not bomb the camp." ”

Chen Liefeng gritted his teeth and said, "If Qingyishui were all our people, we should have assembled a quarter of an hour ago and blocked those gray grandsons in front of the chariot." "Because they were ordered by the marshal to be mixed in with half of the flesh and foot troops, these people can't fight, but they are good at adding chaos, and under the chaotic running and bumping, the main force that is stubborn and harmful is also messed up, and as a result, they can only watch the Qin army who stole the camp go away, and they eat a lot of ashes.

Seeing that the Qin army had already passed through the Chinese army, General Chen knew that he could no longer stop the enemy, so he snorted and turned to go downstairs.

"General, what is the purpose of the commander doing this?" The general finally couldn't help but ask.

Chen Liefeng turned around and glared at him fiercely, just about to say, 'You ask me, who do I ask?' But he stepped on the air and rolled down the stairs with a crackle......
