Chapter 114: Battle of the Crane (1)
Huyanhe galloped with an army of 50,000 men, and five miles away from the camp, ordered his soldiers to dig a mound of earth and high slopes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info A high slope was piled up after a while, and his eyes were looking at the camp in front of him: "Wait for you to do as planned."
"Yes". The generals around Hu Yanhe received orders one after another, and then walked down the high slope.
In a short time, three phalanxes of 10,000 people rushed in three directions.
The movement outside the camp had long attracted the soldiers who were on guard inside the camp. Seeing that there were many Hun soldiers and horses outside, he could only stand up on the earthen wall to watch, and at the same time, a soldier hurriedly ran to the big tent of the Chinese army.
The sound of footsteps woke Zhou Bo up from his dream, and he hurriedly lifted the quilt, revealing the armor on his body.
Zhou Bo didn't have time to think about it, rubbed his eyes and then stood up. The matter was urgent, the soldier didn't care about etiquette and directly opened the tent door, strode in, and saw that Zhou Bo had woken up, and reported directly: "General Qiyu, a huge number of Hun soldiers and horses were found five miles ahead, and it seems that there is a plan to attack the camp from its posture."
"Hun soldiers and horses?". Zhou Bo instantly reacted from his confusion and hurriedly walked out of the tent.
At this moment, the long sound of the horn resounded in the sky, and a Hun phalanx of 10,000 people rushed out from the front of the camp, accompanied by the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and crashed like a torrent.
The warning of the camp was loud, and the soldiers who slept in armor woke up from their sleep and subconsciously began to assemble. Countless soldiers of the Donghu Servant Army walked towards the earthen wall.
The expected sound of swords and soldiers did not sound, and a sound of gold was drowned out from the rear of the Hun army.
The rushing Hun phalanx, hearing the sound of Mingjin, retreated in an orderly manner under the leadership of the generals.
The soldiers of the Donghu Servant Army saw it clearly on the earthen wall, and they were suddenly dumbfounded. Immediately afterwards, a trace of anger spread from his heart, and the sound of abuse was endless.
"If you want to fight on the other side, why use this lowly means."
"Aren't you fierce? Why rushed here and ran back".
"Uncle, is it easy for me to get some sleep? Don't let me catch you, uncle, or you'll suffer."
The retreating Hun soldiers didn't seem to hear it, and retreated on their own.
Seeing the withdrawal of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses, the Donghu servant army couldn't help but snort, and suddenly the sound of Hache resounded through the camp. Seeing that nothing was going on, the generals immediately ordered their soldiers to go back to the camp to repair.
Zhou Bo was not at ease, and took a few soldiers to patrol the earthen wall. In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed as if nothing had just happened.
Some soldiers couldn't help but comfort Zhou Bo when they saw the tiredness on his face.
"General, presumably these Huns saw that our army had already prepared and thought that they could not sneak attack. I've just left, and I don't have to."
"Even if the Huns want to disturb our repairs, they will not have no action in this half hour, maybe they have given up."
"It's not a way to wait like this, the general might as well go back to the tent to repair it first."
Zhou Bo looked up at the sky, saw the scorching sun in the sky, and thought of last night's battle, a sense of tiredness hit, and subconsciously yawned: "I'll leave it to you here."
"No". Several soldiers bowed to Zhou Bo to receive orders.
Zhou Bo nodded slightly, yawned and walked down under the earthen wall.
As soon as he walked under the earthen wall, the sound of the horn came again, and a phalanx of 10,000 Huns appeared from the left side of the camp.
The warning of the camp was loud, and the soldiers of the Donghu Servant Army lifted their quilts with angry faces and hurriedly ran towards the earthen wall.
The sound of gold sounded again, and the Hun soldiers hurriedly retreated, and the smoke had already disappeared.
The servants of Zhongdong Hu were so angry that they jumped to their feet, and there was nothing they could do to take the enemy troops outside except to stomp on the earthen wall with their feet.
The generals hurriedly asked Zhou Bo for battle, vowing to send troops to teach the Huns outside a good lesson.
"The general and the last general are willing to lead their troops out of the camp to drive away these pesky flies."
"The officers and men of the whole army finally fell asleep, but the enemy provoked me three times and twice, so how can I sleep with peace of mind."
"These flies must be driven away, otherwise our army will not be able to sleep at all."
Chen Ping and Zhou Yafu hurriedly walked over, heard the generals' remarks, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't, go out recklessly at this time or ambush in the meeting."
"The words of the military advisor are reasonable, so don't be carried away by anger, and the matter of sending troops will be stopped." Zhou Bo refused.
Although the generals were unwilling, when they saw that the main general and the military division were all opposite, they immediately suppressed their anger and did not speak.
Zhou Yafu frowned and looked at Chen Ping and Zhou Bo: "Father, if the enemy army comes like this every once in a while, won't our army be able to repair?" We can't ignore this."
"Just looking at the number of Xiongnu soldiers and horses, there are no less than 10,000 people, if our army ignores them, I am afraid that they will take advantage of the situation to make a real attack on the camp." Zhou Bo thought of the scene just now and analyzed it.
Chen Ping was silent and fell into deep thought, and he didn't know how to crack the enemy's plan: "If it weren't for the soldiers of our army, they wouldn't be able to take off their armor when they slept, but I was afraid that they would have already attacked the camp."
"Looking at those Hun soldiers and horses, all of them are alive and well, it is estimated that they were the soldiers who did not participate in the battle last night. Our army was dragged down by them like this, and when the headquarters of the Xiongnu Youxian King was repaired, this camp would be in danger." The more Zhou Bo thought about it, the more difficult it became, and if he didn't leave soldiers and horses to garrison the camp, he would definitely be attacked. But once the soldiers and horses are left to garrison, the soldiers are currently tired. How can he be able to defeat the next, the Hun Youxian Wang's department that is about to be repaired.
Zhou Yafu's eyes looked at the soldiers around him, and when he saw that their faces were full of tiredness, he immediately spoke: "The soldiers must be repaired, otherwise when the Xiongnu Right Xian King leads the army to come, everything will be over."
"That being said, what can I do when I wait." Zhou Bo smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that the other party has given himself a big problem.
Chen listened quietly, silently, and looked at Zhou Bo for a while: "Today's two raids, how many soldiers and horses did the Huns use each time."
"About 10,000 soldiers and horses at a time". Seeing that Zhou Bo was silent, a soldier replied to Chen Ping.
When Chen Ping heard the answer, he fell into deep thought again: "I have a way, maybe I can break this strategy of the Huns."
"Please also ask the military advisor to explain in detail." Zhou Bo perked up and hurriedly looked at Chen Ping.
Chen Ping organized his words a little in his heart, and looked at Zhou Bo and Zhou Yafu and those generals: "For today's plan, it is to divide the soldiers into three and take turns to guard the city wall." The rest of the soldiers, plugging their ears, went back to the camp to repair."
"Divided into three?". Zhou Bo thought about it for a while, Chen Ping's strategy was indeed the most feasible method at present. Thinking of this, he nodded lightly, and looked at the generals: "Do what the military division says, and make sure that the soldiers are all repaired."
"No". The generals received their orders one after another, and then walked under the earthen wall.
After a short time, the Donghu servant army was divided into three, taking turns to guard the earthen wall, and the rest of the soldiers rubbed their sleepy eyes and walked to their respective tents with a curse. Then cover the quilt and plug your ears and fall asleep.
