In the dead of night, the four fields are silent.

More than 100 scouts of the Qingzhou army, with the help of the cover of night, invaded on foot, skillfully avoided the ambush area arranged by the Yuan army in the camp and the south of the camp, and touched the fence of the Yuan army camp from the side and rear, and quietly lurked.

After the officers and soldiers of Yuan's patrol camp left, the scouts took out the fire medium, lit thunderbolts made of ceramics and iron sheets and threw them into the camp, and then took out strong crossbows in groups of twos and twos, lit special crossbow arrows, and fired thousands of rockets at the rows of tents in the depths of the camp.

The camp was already full of fire, and screams and screams were endless.

More than 20,000 Yuan troops were frightened by a series of violent explosions that had never been seen before, rushing left and right, and the uncontrollable war horses screamed and rampaged.

In the night, the sound of scolding, crashing, stampede, and crying in pain resounded, and the nearly 10,000 cavalry ambushed in the south of the camp to deal with the night attack of the Qingzhou army was even more unbearable, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, all rushed to flee to the rear of the Hejian City, and no one cared about the raging fire in the camp and the lives of more than 20,000 brothers.

Fortunately, the Qingzhou army, which succeeded in the sneak attack, also did not seem to have the ability to fight at night, and most of the more than 30,000 Yuan troops who fled in all directions after the catastrophe finally fled back to Hejian City in the rear, and gradually restored order under the pressure of officials at all levels and tens of thousands of defenders outside the city. But both inside and outside the city. All of them were in an atmosphere of tension and fear. No one wants to sleep.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shao, who was frightened and extremely angry, did not blame anyone, and seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he immediately began to patrol the city surrounded by many henchmen and elite guards.

Everywhere he went, Yuan Shao would calmly appease the frightened soldiers, and kindly tell everyone that the explosions were not thunder, but completely bluffing things made of sulfur and saltpeter, and they did not have much lethality. The Taoist priests in the purple cloud temple in the west of Yecheng are all around.

Yuan Shao's actions really achieved immediate results, and the panicked soldiers quickly calmed down, and they were extremely grateful to the kind and generous lord Yuan Shao, and then they buried the pot and cooked under the leadership of their respective officials, and prepared to fight with the shameless Qingzhou army.

Yuan Shao, who returned to the Shuaifu, immediately changed his face, and in front of dozens of civil and military officers, ordered the guilty general Chun Yuqiong to gather his men and horses, and recaptured the fallen eastern camp within one hour, and ordered the cavalry generals Lu Kuang and Ma Yan to lead 3,000 cavalry each to guard the two wings.

After Chun Yuqiong led his troops to recapture the camp in the east of the city, he sent 3,000 cavalry to launch a feint attack on the Qingzhou army camp. The rest of the soldiers seized the time to bury the pot and cook, and before noon, they had to start a decisive battle with the Qingzhou army in front of them. It is necessary to regain the initiative on the battlefield as soon as possible.

What Yuan Shao didn't expect was that although the Chengdong battalion took it down without much effort and successfully approached the Qingzhou army camp, the 30,000 Qingzhou troops he faced didn't talk to him about rules and honor at all, and let the soldiers of Yuan Jun challenge and insult him should not fight.

Yuan Shao was furious, and launched three fierce attacks on the hedgehog-like Qingzhou army camp, but in the end, they suffered heavy casualties under the rain of arrows and hundreds of powerful ballistas of the Qingzhou army, and had to retreat in embarrassment.

What made Yuan Shao even more angry was that when the Qingzhou army cowering in the camp was in the interval of the battle, thousands of crossbowmen suddenly poured out, waiting for the battle, and then tens of thousands of people wearing old-fashioned leather armor rushed out, seizing the time to repair the first deep trench that had been filled.

While restoring the first line of defensive trenches, those extremely fast people very morally collected the corpses of more than 3,000 Yuan soldiers, carefully lifted up thousands of wounded soldiers of the Yuan army lying in front of the two armies, and carried them back to their own camp for treatment.

The Qingzhou Army's move greatly surprised Yuan Shao and his henchmen Wenwu, and the 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Yuan Army who were resting on the spot before the battle were even more stunned.

Seeing that the war situation was not good, Tian Fenghe and the others immediately admonished Yuan Shao, imploring the lord to make a decisive decision on whether to fight or retreat.

The judge reminded Yuan Shao and his colleagues with great certainty: "There must be Liu Zijian's henchmen and strategists in the Qingzhou military camp, otherwise the Qingzhou army, which is famous all over the world and values honor more than anything else, will never behave so treacherously and cunningly, and act so despicably." ”

"If it is allowed to continue, the morale of our army, which has been so hard to arouse, will surely disappear, and the serious impact caused by this is really immeasurable!"

Yuan Shao, who suddenly came to his senses, immediately ordered: "Order the cavalry on both wings to step forward slowly, be on strict alert, order the front army to rectify the formation, slowly retreat to the camp, and all the military divisions will immediately discuss it, and then write a battle letter and submit it to the opposite Qingzhou army, and ask it to fight to the death at noon tomorrow!" ”

######

On the high platform in the center of the Qingzhou military camp, the battle flag was unfurled. Zhang He, Fu Min, and more than a dozen lieutenants, who clearly saw Yuan Jun's intentions, had a heated discussion with each word.

"Look, there are two horsemen in front of Yuan Jun holding flags and coming out of the formation, and it seems that they are coming towards us." Zhang He's lieutenant shouted the new situation with clairvoyance.

The generals hurriedly looked over, and soon deduced the intention of the two horsemen, and asked Zhang He and Fu Min for permission to fight, so as to have a good fight with the declining morale of the Yuan army.

Zhang He ordered the deputy general to go down to meet the envoy, and then turned to Fu Min, who was not smiling, with great joy: "In my impression, Brother Xiaohe has always been a tiger general with an upright nature and a righteous face. It is estimated that he is often with Lu Pei and Lu Jiu, and he has learned badly! ”

Fu Min smiled rarely: "Do you remember what the lord taught in the general school's refresher course?" No matter what strategy or means, as long as they are beneficial to the war situation, they can be unleashed, and there is no need to scruple about those pedantic traditions, there is no need to consider those empty reputations, and still less can they be constrained by rigid and backward military thinking. Only the victor is qualified to talk about the so-called tradition, the so-called morality', this is the original words of the lord, I have always remembered the bottom of my heart, for this two years I have not been less attentive to figure out, hehe! ”

"Alas! How could it not be remembered? But it's hard to really do, and you're better than me in this area. Zhang He sighed sincerely.

Fu Min glanced at several lieutenants outside the camp gate who were negotiating with Yuan Junlai's envoys, and approached Zhang He and muttered for a while. After hearing this, Zhang He couldn't help laughing, nodded in agreement, and then called the lieutenant under his command to start issuing a series of orders.

Fu Min quietly stepped off the high platform, turned over his horse, led fifty guards straight to the rear camp, and soon rushed out of the camp gate, rushed to the front of the six thousand cavalry who had rested for a long time after eating and feeding the horses, and ordered loudly: "Prepare in half an hour——"

The six thousand elite horsemen immediately took action, rushed to their respective war horses, began to prepare for the battle, and in less than half an hour, they had already stepped on the stirrups and turned onto the horses, and according to the instructions conveyed by a copper whistle, they quickly lined up in six neat arrays, and faced the immovable general Fu Min with great energy.

Fu Min glanced at the old brothers who had been with him for several years with satisfaction: "Brothers, the Yuan army is slowly retreating, and there are only six thousand cavalry guarding the two wings of the Yuan army, and these cavalry are far from being the opponents of the brothers in terms of training and equipment, not to mention that they have been stupidly staying on the battlefield for almost two hours, it is the time when people are tired and tired, and it is also the best opportunity for us to make contributions!" ”

The eyes of the six thousand cavalry were shining, and every face was filled with irrepressible excitement, and the horses under their crotches were also agitated.

Fu Min shouted with confidence: "Brothers, in this battle, our six battalions are divided into two ways, and with the tactics of second attack, we will discharge the cone-shaped team and kill the exhausted cavalry on both wings of the Yuan army in one fell swoop. ”

"Brethren, go—"

Sharp whistles sounded one after another, and the six thousand elite cavalry who had been waiting for a long time set off on the next departure under the leadership of their respective commanders, and the six thousand cavalry arrays skillfully separated, rode horses and jogged around the north and south sides of the camp, and slowly approached the two flanks of the Yuan army that were retreating five miles to the west.
