Chapter 12 Suspicion and Confusion in the Army's Heart Annoyed and ashamed that he killed Chai Xin
After Chai Xin left, Huo Jun ordered: "Scout camp, I've been in the city for more than two months, it's time to go out and loosen my muscles!" Huo Zheng! Take your people out of the city to find out the situation of the Yizhou army camp, and if the enemy shows signs of retreat, report back quickly! Huo Jun said.
"Whoa!" After speaking, Huo Zheng took the order and left.
Huo Jun said again: "Soldiers, speed rest, Zheng Tong, Wang Kun, Huo Buyi, Huo Xiong, Huo Lei, five generals obey orders!" ”
"Whoa!"
"From this moment on, the five of you will follow me to Huo Yi's command, and all the original sergeants and horses in the city will be selected by your five people, and five hundred people who are good at riding and archery will be selected, and the rest will stay in the city, and the secretary will lead the city to defend the city!"
"General, where are you going? Why should I be kept in the city? Guo Jun was puzzled.
"From now on, I am just an ordinary soldier, and this battle is under the command of Huo Yi! Lao Tzu wants to go into battle to kill the enemy! These words can suffocate me! Huo Jun said fiercely.
"Father, the commander of the three armies, how can he be in danger? The son of the daughter can't sit down, the father just needs to wait for the good news from his son! ”
Huo Yi was a little anxious, the reason why he went out of the city to ask for help was that his father would be injured on the battlefield again, after all, according to the official history, his father died three years after the war at the age of forty. If it weren't for the recurrence of old wounds on the battlefield, how could he die early in middle age?
"Alright, I've made up my mind! Just take it as if this is an order I gave as the guard of Jia Meng! Huo Jun said with a smile.
"Whoa!" The generals did not dare to disobey Huo Jun's intentions, but they had to obey.
The generals followed Huo Jun's plan, each selected a soldier, and then returned to the camp.
The sky gradually brightened, and the fire in the Yizhou military camp burned for a long time, and the losses were heavy.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Fu Ban had a cold face, and several generals knelt under the tent, and their bodies trembled.
"It's not that the general won't spare you and others, in fact, this time my battalion was attacked, the responsibility is all on you and others, scouts and rangers are the eyes of our army, and the enemy army is blatantly attacking the camp, obviously this eye is already blind!" Fu Ban said coldly.
"General, our army has suffered this defeat, although the blame lies in the negligence of the scout rangers, but the enemy is from the rear of our army, and it is obviously not the defenders in Jiameng Pass, is Liu Bei's army not far away?" One tooth will go out of the class.
"Yes, this road cavalry is dressed up in a water bundle of state battalions, except for more than 100 personal guards of General Xiang Cun in our army, no one else is dressed like this, it can be seen that the enemy attack is coming from the direction of Chengdu, not in Jiameng Pass." The other person seconded.
"The leader is dressed in a white robe and soap armor, claiming to be Nanjun Huo Yi, the last general heard that Huo Jun's son is Huo Yi, who has been learning guns under Zhao Yunmen since he was a child, and has achieved a small success, yesterday said that this thief killed and injured our army very much, and it seems that what he said is true. Someone broke out of the siege before, and according to the surviving scouts, it was very similar to last night's body attire! Could it be that this guy is really coming to the rescue in autumn? A kneeling scout under the tent suddenly reacted and said slowly.
Fu Ban listened to the words of the generals under the tent, and couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, if he let go of the field battle, he was not the opponent of Liu Bei's elite soldiers, and then he was relieved, and said slowly: "If it is really a large army, why only break the camp with a hundred cavalry, why not surround it with a large army, and defeat our army in one fell swoop?" ”
The generals under the tent looked at each other, and after being silent for a long time, Xiang Cun said lightly: "There are only two reasons, first, Liu Bei's army is here, first use a hundred horsemen to break through the camp to seize the heart of our army, as soon as the army arrives, we have no heart to fight, so we can only surrender!" Second, the enemy's reinforcements are good, only these hundreds of cavalry! ”
Although the generals under the account were not satisfied with the existence and despised his character, this analysis also penetrated it.
When the generals of the Fu Ban were distressed by this reinforcement, there was a sudden noise outside the tent, and the Fu Ban and the generals Huo Ran got up, which was a Chinese army general who entered the tent and reported: "General, there is a person, full of black ash and dust, who claims to be the keeper of the door in Langzhong, Du Bo Chai Xin, who is loud in the camp and says...... Say...... Say ......"
"Stammering what? Say what? Xiang Cun slapped the table and yelled.
The tooth general suddenly knelt down: "He said that Langzhong City has been captured by Liu Bei's army!" Send troops here immediately, and hope that the general will make a plan! ”
"What?" The generals in the tent were collectively stunned.
A trace of cold sweat flowed down from Fu Ban's back, but Fu Ban was worthy of being a veteran of the battle, sat down slowly, and said lightly: "Bring it up!" ”
Not long after, a military general was tied up and escorted in, and the military general entered the big tent and said urgently: "General, the last general will do his best to break out of the encirclement!" Liu Bei's army has captured Langzhong, General Zhang He was killed, the city is old and weak, the enemy army came suddenly, and in less than half an hour, the city was broken! Chai Xin knelt on the ground, his sadness overflowing.
That Xiang Cun stood up, walked in front of Chai Xin, and looked at Chai Xin: "You are not Chai Xin!" Chai Xin is my wife's father! Who are you? It must be a thief army. After speaking, without waiting for Chai Xin to refute, he pulled out his sword, and a sword fell, and Chai Xin's head was in a different place.
The first lieutenant in the tent said angrily: "General Xiang, this person is indeed Chai Xin!" I have been with Chai Xin for a long time, why do you kill indiscriminately? ”
"I know he is, but, at this time, it can only be not, if he is Chai Xin, then our army will be in turmoil! So he can only be a thief army! Xiang Cun said ruthlessly.
Fu Ban looked at Chai Xin, who was divided into corpses, and sighed: "What the general said is right, Chai Xin must die!" He drew his face at this head and told the army. ”
"Whoa!" The tooth will be commanded to go.
"The generals will return to their base camps, suppress the chaos that has occurred, prohibit rumors, and in addition, pack up and prepare to set off tonight and divert to Chengdu! Privately to the sergeant, he said that the lord ordered our army to give up the attack on Jiameng Pass and quickly aid Chengdu! Fu Ban ordered.
"Whoa!" The generals were ordered to go.
Only the generals of the Chinese army were left in the tent, and Fu Ban raised his head: "Our army retreats, and the defenders of Jiameng Pass will follow and kill." Our army is distracted, we must not be guarded, and we must not let the enemy know that our army is retreating! The generals can do that...... So ......"
In Jiameng Pass, the scouts report the situation of the Yizhou military camp every half an hour.
In the camp of the Yizhou Army, drums were beating and gold were beating as usual. Orderly and well-guarded.
Huo Yi listened to the report several times, Gu is so, presumably this husband is going to wait for dark before acting, he is worthy of being a general of a hundred battles, and the night is indeed the best cover for retreat.
The sky was getting dark.
The scouts reported that the Yizhou military camp was normal as usual, and even extra vigilant, with constant drumming. The rangers were everywhere, and the scouts did not dare to approach.
Huo Yi was stunned, this husband has no food and grass, how can he maintain the offensive? Could it be that Chai Xin did not follow the plan?
In a moment, it was completely dark, and the scouts returned more frequently, but the results were more or less the same. Huo Yi began to be suspicious, he suddenly remembered a famous battle case recorded in the history books, in order to be safe, Huo Yi ordered the scouts to gradually advance to the Yizhou military camp, and it was best to catch a ranger or scout to ask the truth.
The scout went as planned.
