Chapter 34: The Dawn of Victory

In the big tent, Xu Hui deployed his battle plan to Wei Fen and another lieutenant, which was also ordered by Meng Xuanjue before leaving, and as for any changes in the middle, let him improvise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"The front is the water."

Spreading out the map, Xu Hui squatted next to the map, pulled out his long sword and pointed at a long river on the map, "To the north is their camp, more than a thousand tents, about five thousand troops, the defense is very tight, it is not realistic for us to attack directly, but I have a way." ”

Xu Hui said with a smile: "Their camp is close to Zishui, and further north is a cliff, if we go down from the cliff, go deep into the enemy camp, cause chaos, and then the cavalry charges, we will definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop, but there are still many teams around to protect the grain, so we must not stay, and we will withdraw after burning the grain and grass." ”

Xu Hui's gaze fell on Wei Fen's body, "General Wei, this cliff, the task of going deep into the enemy camp will be handed over to you, I have only one request, cause their chaos, and then send a signal to us." ”

。。。。。。。。。

When night fell, on the cliff north of the local grain and grass camp, more than two hundred Shu troops were slowly moving down along the cliff, pulling the rope, and only the patrol people in the camp were already asleep, and some gathered together, talking about the eternal topic of men, and from time to time burst into a burst of laughter.

Most of the soldiers who entered Shu with Zhou Xing this time were Jingxiang people, and the people of Jingxiang were all people who missed their families very much, and they all looked forward to the early end of the war.

This can be said to be their rear, part of the army of Shu is trapped in Wanzhou, and part is in Zhongzhou, so they don't have any vigilance.

Suddenly, a glimmer of fire slowly appeared in the camp, and then more and more.

"Oh no, it's on fire, the grain and grass are on fire."

With the shouting of the patrol soldiers, the soldiers in the camp woke up like a dream, and many people had already walked out with weapons before they got dressed, and then there was a shout of killing in the camp, yes, it came from inside the camp.

The soldiers did not know why, and they made a mess, some said that the enemy had already entered, some said that the general had been killed, and some said that the army at the front had been defeated, and none of them were good news anyway.

As an arrow remembers in the air, the fierce sound of horses' hooves came not far away, and many people looked into the distance, because it was dark, they didn't know how many people there were, but the sound of horses' hooves shook their hearts and made them feel frightened, and the cavalry got on their horses and hurried to meet the battle, while the infantry were running around, not knowing whether they were fleeing for their lives or defending.

Nearly 2,000 cavalry of the Shu army roared, and the dense arrows shot into the camp, and the two armies collided together in an instant, and the fierce battle on the riverside began.

One side is prepared, the momentum is high, the other side is in a hurry to respond to the battle, the momentum is low, you can imagine the final result, in a moment, the ground has fallen a piece of Wuping army corpses, screams into a loud one, many soldiers have been frightened soul scattered, desperately to the east to flee for their lives, to the direction of Jingxiang to flee for their lives.

The battle lasted less than an hour, and the soldiers guarding the grain and grass had already been defeated, and Xu Hui ordered that they should not be pursued, and the top priority was to burn the grain and grass.

The raging crowd burned, and also burned the military heart of the Wuping army, where the blood flowed like a river, the torches lit the tents, and the soaring flames soared into the sky, reflecting the red night sky of Zishui.

In the first month of the nineteenth year of Shu Guangzheng, two thousand cavalry of the Zhongwu Army, under the leadership of the commander Xu Hui, attacked the logistics center of the Wuping Army at night, killing thousands of enemies and burning 100,000 stones of grain and grass.

100,000 Wuping troops surrounded Zhongzhou, nearly ten days of fierce fighting caused heavy casualties on both sides, Zhou Xingfeng has lost more than 30,000 people, and Meng Xuanjue has also lost more than 10,000 people, this is because he occupies a favorable terrain to reduce a lot of losses, otherwise he will also suffer heavy losses.

Zhongzhou was already riddled with holes, but it was still standing, the city finally quieted down, many corpses were also cleaned up, there were large shocking bloodstains everywhere, and groups of exhausted Shu troops fell asleep at the head of the city.

The news of the destruction of grain and grass was obtained by Zhou Xingfeng soon after, Zhou Xingfeng realized that he had to retreat, without grain and grass, he couldn't survive for a few days, if he didn't withdraw at this time, then his Wuping army would have to be all explained here.

"Is there any news of Yang Shifan?" As night fell, Zhou Xingfeng's camp was brightly lit, and the ten days of tragic fighting brought casualties to both sides, and their own losses were also heavy.

Zhou Xingfeng's eyes sparkled, he sighed deeply, and said: "Without grain and grass, I can't stay here anymore, so I ordered someone to pack up immediately and go back to Tanzhou overnight." ”

"Leaving at this time?" The adjutant general on the side was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "At this time, the soldiers have just gotten off the battlefield, and if they leave at this time, I'm afraid the soldiers will oppose it, not to mention, no matter how powerful Meng Xuanjue is, he will not raid our army overnight, our army still has 70,000 troops, and he is not afraid, the commander is too anxious, and the last general thinks that it is better to retreat tomorrow." ”

"Idiot, what kind of person Meng Xuanjue is, I know better than you, he can get through such a crisis, I'm afraid that he will have his share in the competition for the world in the future." The more Zhou Xingfeng thought about it, the more nervous he became, he stood up suddenly, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, if you don't want to die, retreat immediately." ”

"So, how is the wounded soldier good?"

"I can't even save my own life, can I still protect them?" Zhou Xingfeng glared at the deputy general fiercely, and sneered: "Can we still leave with these wounded soldiers?" Don't worry, as long as we return to Tanzhou, I can still recruit 100,000 troops, and it is not known who will kill the deer at that time. ”

At this time, in front of a pass south of Kuizhou, Xu Hui's two thousand cavalry were resting in the forest, standing on a big rock, looking into the distance, here you can look at the city tower of Wushan Pass, he knew that at this time, the governor of the capital was fighting with Zhou Xingfeng, and he had a bold idea in his heart.

"Commander, the second child is back."

Wushan Pass, is Jingxiang, Tanzhou into the only passage into Shu, the pass is built by the mountain, there is a husband when the pass is not open to the risk, if it is not for the Ningjiang Festival to make Sun Yufang Zhou Xingfeng into Shu, he Zhou Xingfeng can not capture this pass, even if it is captured, he will suffer heavy losses, and he will no longer be able to go west.

According to Wang Xiaoer's investigation and inquiry, there were less than 1,000 people in this pass, and all of them were Shu people, and they were the soldiers and horses of the Ningjiang Jiedu envoy left by Sun Yu, so Xu Hui decided to make a desperate bet and decided to seize the pass and lock Zhou Xingfeng's army alive in Shu.
