Chapter 50: The Attack on the Camp
On the third night of the first month of May, it's time!
The originally silent Yingbu camp was suddenly full of people, and countless torches appeared on the south bank of the Huai River, and under the reflection of the river, the entire south bank of the Huai River seemed to be daylight! Boats or rafts are pushed into the river.
On the south bank of the Huai River, which stretches for nearly ten miles, Wu Rui chose three places to cross the river.
Wu Rui sat on the war horse, looking at the hundreds of Yue barbarians who boarded the boats or rafts one after another with complicated eyes, and let out a long sigh. He didn't know how many of these people would be able to return to the land of Baiyue alive after this battle.
Yingbu, who was following Wu Rui, heard Wu Rui's long sigh and secretly pouted, of course he knew what Wu Rui was sighing, how could a woman's kindness achieve great things.
"Father, our army is ready, why hasn't there been any action on the other side?" Yingbu said respectfully.
Yingbu said that Wu Rui naturally knew what he meant, and what he agreed with Xiang Liang was that Wu Rui's army crossed the river to attract the attention of the Qin army, and Wang Li saw that Wu Rui's army would inevitably fall out of the nest to intercept it, and at this time Xiang Liang would lead the army to attack Wang Li's camp and copy Wang Li's back road from behind.
Wang Li found that the attack on the camp would inevitably cause chaos in the whole army, and that was the time when Wu Rui's army really crossed the river. As long as Wu Rui's army crosses the river, the Qin army will inevitably have only one way to defeat under the attack of nearly 200,000 troops.
That's why Wu Rui is preparing to cross the river with such fanfare, after all, he can't hide it if he wants to.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for Wang Li not to find such a big movement of the Yingbu army on the south bank, but the north bank of the Huai River is still pitch black, and there is no shadow of the Qin army in sight.
Could it be that Xiang Liang's army was discovered by Wang Li?
If Wang Li really found out, then I'm afraid it will be impossible to steal chickens and lose a handful of rice. Not only can he not kill Wang Li, but he may even be able to put both armies into it. Wu Rui looked at the dark north bank of the Huai River and was extremely worried.
On the south bank of the Huai River, the cars and horses neighed. The north bank of the Huai River is like a dead land. It was as if a giant beast with its mouth wide open, waiting for Wu Rui's 100,000 army and Xiang Liang's 100,000 army to take the initiative to send it to its mouth, and then swallow it in one gulp.
"Wait!" Wu Rui said in a deep voice.
Yingbu also noticed the unusual silence on the other side at this moment, and when he heard Wu Rui's words, he stopped talking, and stood quietly behind Wu Rui.
Minutes and seconds pass!
The tens of thousands of Baiyue barbarians who had already boarded the boat began to make noise, if it weren't for Wu Rui having been on the bank of the river, it is estimated that someone would have rushed directly to the other side of the boat. No one knows when or what they will have to wait!
Three days of secret fighting!
Baiyue Barbarian has really killed the anger between the scouts of Great Qin, too many clansmen have died in the hands of Great Qin scouts, and most of the people who can be selected as scouts are the elites of various clans.
However, these elites almost died in just three days, and less than 100 of the more than 1,000 elites survived. Basically, two or three of each group died, how could it not make them angry.
Despite this, Baiyue Barbarian is still very convinced of "Fanjun" Wu Rui, so no one has acted on his own so far.
Wu Rui was waiting anxiously, Wang Li and 60,000 Great Qin soldiers on the other side were also anxiously waiting, but obviously the patience of the Great Qin soldiers was much better than that of Baiyue Barbarians, and they lined up quietly on the north shore, like dead things!
As early as when Wu Rui's army made some moves on the south bank, the Great Qin scouts who had been staring at the other bank had already discovered the situation and reported it to Wang Li. Wang Li immediately took Zhao Ben and several generals to the shore to observe the other side.
Seeing that the Baiyue barbarian army on the south bank was preparing to cross the river in three ways, Wang Li immediately transferred 60,000 troops, and 20,000 people on each road guarded the opposite side of the Baiyue barbarian army crossing the river, waiting for the rabbit.
There were also 20,000 troops ready to support Wang Li at any time, and there were 20,000 troops under the command of Yang Xiong in the camp ten miles behind. Wang Li poured out as Xiang Liang expected.
The Baiyue barbarian army did not have so many boats at all, and could only cross the river with more than 100,000 Baiyue troops at the same time, with the number of boats collected by Wu Rui and the number of rafts built temporarily, Wu Rui could only transport 30,000 troops across the river at a time, that is to say, 10,000 along the three roads.
Wang Li now sees Wu Rui Fanjun crossing the river, but his heart is steady, the reason why the rebels did not cross the river before should be to build ships, so it makes sense to think that the Yingbu army stayed on the south bank of the Huai River.
With the combat strength of the Great Qin soldiers, it is impossible for the rebels to rush over, not to mention that it is obvious that the rebels on the other side cannot cross all the large armies at once, so the 20,000 Qin troops can be said to be extremely safe against the rebels who hurriedly crossed the river.
Although the rebels are finally about to cross the river, Wang Li is still a little puzzled, obviously crossing the river is to send him to death, not to mention choosing to cross the river at night, with the power of Daqin's strong crossbow, I am afraid that there is absolutely no one in ten who can safely rush to the shore.
Is the rebel commander on this side of the strait trying to send him to death?
Another point is why the rebels have been on board for a long time, but they have not started to make any moves until now, but seem to be waiting for something. So what are they waiting for?
Camp?
"General! The rebels on the other side seem to be waiting for something, there is something strange about this matter! Zhao Ben next to him came to Wang Li's side and said.
"What do you think they are? What are you waiting for? Zhao Ben's words can be said to be the same as Wang Weizhong's doubts.
"I don't know, but I think that unless a rebel army can disrupt the deployment of our army, the rebels on the other side can cross the river safely, otherwise even if the rebels on the other side can cross the river, how many people can survive?" Zhao Ben speculated.
"You're saying that a rebel army has crossed the river?" Wang Li said in confusion.
"General Hui, the last general is just guessing, my Great Qin scouts did not explore the upper and lower hundred miles, but only explored the upper and lower fifty miles, and if the rebels crossed the river from fifty miles away, my Great Qin scouts would definitely not be able to find out." Zhao Ben thought for a while.
After listening to Zhao Ben's words, Wang Li was silent, obviously this possibility has a surname.
"Order, order all the soldiers of the scout battalion to leave the camp immediately, probe our army within a radius of twenty miles, and fire rockets as soon as they find any trace of the enemy! Summoned Yang Xiong, he must strictly guard the camp and prevent people from attacking the camp! Wang Li commanded loudly.
"Whoa!"
At that moment a fast horse came galloping, and before the knight could get close, he fell from his horse and struggled to get up. Wang Li's guards around him galloped off their horses and hurriedly helped them up from the ground.
A bad premonition suddenly welled up in Wang Wei's heart.
"General, this scout said that a large number of enemy troops are coming straight to our army from downstream, and it is less than ten miles away from the 20,000 troops downstream!"
In fact, there is no need to say that Wang Li has already seen countless rebels with torches as far as his eye can see, shouting at the 20,000 Qin troops standing on the shore downstream.
The 20,000 Qin army was led by a captain, who was the old man of the Wang family. The scouts who had just landed told them first and then rode over to report to Wang Li, so at this moment, the 20,000 black-armored Qin troops who were originally facing the Huai River had all shifted their direction and met Xiang Liang's army, which suddenly appeared two miles away.
For the army that suddenly appeared on his side, looking at at least tens of thousands, Qin Jun said that it would definitely be impossible not to be surprised. But fortunately, with good training and the calm deployment of the captain, the formation was immediately shifted from facing the river to facing Xiang Liang's army.
Wang Li was a little puzzled and a little fortunate when he saw the sudden appearance of the dense rebels in front of his eyes, if it weren't for the temporary warning of the Great Qin scouts, these rebels who suddenly appeared would definitely be able to catch the Qin army off guard, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Send him to the camp to heal!" Wang Li instructed his own guards.
"Whoa!" Immediately, the two guards rode out on horseback, and the Daqin scout, who had just reported the news unconscious after being hit by an arrow, helped them to the horse and ran to the camp in the rear.
The 20,000 Great Qin soldiers downstream here have already collided with Xiang Liang's army!
The two-mile distance is a distance of 16,700 steps, and Xiang Liang's army finally saw the main owner at this moment after a day of intermittent marching, and rushed up immediately without Xiang Liang's urging.
The sound of "Bang Bang Bang" is endless.
The first to strike was still the Qin army's large repeating crossbow machine. Hundreds of thick crossbow arrows more than three zhang long were fiercely inserted into the swarming Xiang Liang army with a sharp whistling sound.
The thick crossbow arrows bit off a large piece of Xiang Liang's army that was swarming in!
"General! Look, the rebels on the south bank are crossing the river! "Zhao Ben has been watching the Baiyue barbarian army that has been waiting on the south bank for an hour or two since the appearance of Xiang Liang's army.
Wu Rui, who had been anxiously watching the north shore and looking forward to the appearance of Xiang Liang's army, suddenly softened his originally straight back when he saw a large number of torches suddenly appearing on the opposite bank.
He had been living in hell for him for an hour or two, and if Xiang Liang couldn't arrive in time, the only thing he could do was to forcibly order the Baiyue barbarians who had already boarded the ship to get off the ship and return to the camp again.
In that case, it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the Baiyue barbarians who have been waiting for a long time, and even the prestige he has established in the Baiyue barbarians for more than ten years will be gone, and he will completely lose the support of the Baiyue tribes for him.
At this moment, the appearance of Xiang Liang's army completely relaxed him, only to find that he was physically and mentally exhausted.
"The army crosses the river!" Wu Rui ordered tiredly.
Yingbu also discovered the army of Xiang Liang that appeared on the north bank of the Huai River, and when he heard Wu Rui's order, he immediately sent an order, and the tens of thousands of Yue barbarians who had been waiting impatiently howled and desperately rowed rafts or boats to the opposite bank.
"Is it finally here?" Wang Li looked at the countless boats on the river and snorted coldly.
"Zhao Ben, the army of the upper and middle reaches will definitely kill all these Baiyue barbarians in the river, and no one will be allowed to go ashore! General Ben personally led the army to help Wang Pin! Wang Li commanded loudly.
"Whoa!"
At this moment, the direction of the rear camp suddenly burst into flames, and there was a faint shout of killing! Wang centrifuged and sank!
As soon as he rode a fast horse galloping from the direction of the rear camp, he shouted from afar: "General, the camp has been attacked!" ”
