Chapter 56:-for-tat

On the night of Chun Yuqiong and Zhang Jaw's defeat in the first battle, just after 23 o'clock, the two gates of Hangu Pass were quietly opened.

The camp of dead soldiers went out of the city from one side, and Zhang Liao himself led a thousand people out of the city, quietly bypassing the strong wall outside the pass, moving away from the horse pistol, and taking a bridge to cross the trap pit, and the two thousand people slowly approached the camp of the Yuan army.

When there were still two miles away from the camp of the Yuan army, Zhang Liao stopped with his 1,000 men, while the camp of the dead soldiers did not stop and headed towards the camp south of the Yuan army.

In the handsome tent of the big camp in the south, several wine jars were messily poured into the tent, Chun Yuqiong lay on the couch and fell asleep, full of wine, this handsome tent was simply smoky.

The shock began when it was quiet, and Yuan Jun's cry for help suddenly came from the camp in the south.

"Not good! The enemy has robbed the camp! ”

"Protect the General."

…… The camp of the dead is like a wolf and a tiger, killing gods when encountering gods, killing ghosts when they see ghosts, and setting off a bloody storm everywhere they go.

At the same time, Zhang Liao, who was two miles away, heard the noise of the large camp south of the Yuan army, and ordered his entourage: "Begin." ”

At the sound of an order, the 1,000 people led by Zhang Liao beat gongs and drums, and made a lot of noise towards the camp in the north.

Zhang Jaw in the north camp did not sleep, but after thinking hard about how to retreat from the enemy, he was about to order reinforcements after hearing the movement of the south camp, but he did not expect the sound of the enemy beating drums and attacking outside the camp.

Hurriedly rushed out of the camp tent, Zhang Jaw himself held the torch and looked out, the soldiers in his camp were all ready, their weapons unsheathed, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

Camp robbery?!

Zhang Liao really knows the art of war.

Not to mention Chun Yuqiong, Zhang Jaw was a little caught off guard.

The sky was dark, and Zhang Jaw didn't know how many soldiers and horses the other party had come, just by his momentum, Zhang Liao had indeed shocked him.

In this way, he could not send troops to the aid of Chun Yuqiong's camp in the south.

"There are nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses over there, as long as Chun Yuqiong reacts in time and is not alarmed, it is impossible for Zhang Liao to dispatch more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, alas, Chun Yuqiong ......"

Zhang Jaw ordered the whole army to be ready to meet the enemy at any time.

The jaw in the northern camp was pinned down by Zhang Liao's suspicious soldiers, and the southern camp was in chaos.

The key is not that the soldiers can't fight, but that Chun Yuqiong, the coach, was drunk and asleep, and after waking up, he had a splitting headache, so he took out his saber and ordered the soldiers to protect his handsome tent, and then asked people to go to the north to ask for help from Zhang Jaw.

The thousand-strong troops of the dead battalion rushed left and right in Chun Yuqiong's camp, killing people like hemp.

Jaw's reply made Chun Yuqiong furious!

"Dare to see death and not save it?!"

Chun Yuqiong stared at the little soldier who came to deliver the message with red eyes.

The little soldier was Zhang Jaw's entourage, and at this time, seeing Chun Yuqiong angry, he said a little cowardly: "My general said, as long as the general leads the army to meet the enemy, and there is no self-chaos, the enemy army will not be able to bargain, if the general can stabilize the situation, my general will counterattack the enemy army at the same time as the general in the north and south." ”

"Bastard!"

Chun Yuqiong swung down with a knife, blood splashed on him, and the little soldier died tragically in the tent.

"Open jaw, could it be that you are secretly collaborating with the enemy?"

The two battalions in the north and south are actually only fifty steps apart, Chun Yuqiong is the commander, Zhang Jaw is just a military order to obey Chun Yuqiong, and their respective soldiers and horses are still dispatched separately.

Chun Yuqiongcai didn't believe Zhang Jaw's nonsense, he had already received the news that the camp in the north was not robbed by Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses, only there were enemy troops in his camp.

Zhang Jaw refused to send troops to help, and Chun Yuqiong only thought that Zhang Jaw either fornicated with the enemy army, or just wanted to fall into the well to see that he could not explain to Yuan Shao after he fell into trouble.

"Fight back! Give Lao Tzu to go out and kill the enemy! Whoever takes a step back, Lao Tzu will cut off someone's head! ”

It's better to ask for others than for yourself, Chun Yuqiong can only go out and kill the enemy by herself now, anyway, she can't count on it.

When he stabilized the morale of the army after leaving the tent and gathered his troops and horses to counterattack, the enemy retreated.

The corpses were strewn in the chaotic camp, and Chun Yuqiong's face changed back and forth in the night and firelight, and he ordered his subordinates to clean up the mess, and then he rushed to open his jaw to ask the teacher.

Zhang Jaw was scolded by Chun Yuqiong in silence, and he didn't say a word to refute it.

The mad dog is growling, and human words cannot make the other person docile.

Seeing that Zhang Jaw was indifferent and did not change his face, as if he was ignoring him, Chun Yuqiong was even more angry than Zhang Liao during the day, but it was a pity that Zhang Jaw was not his subordinate, and he had no right to dispose of Zhang Jaw.

Returning to his camp, Chun Yuqiong returned to the tent angrily, collapsed and fell asleep, but some subordinates came to disturb him without opening their eyes.

"General, don't you need to arrange more soldiers to be in charge of defense? Just in case ......"

"Just in case! Zhang Liao took advantage of my unpreparedness to rob the camp once, and now that he has retreated, is he still coming? He expected me to defend more after the attack, so why would I come back? Even if you come, it's tomorrow! Get out, don't disturb Lao Tzu's sleep. ”

Chun Yuqiong's mind was dizzy, and the wine had not yet dissipated, so she just wanted to lie down and rest quickly.

The subordinates who were scolded left in discouragement.

In this midnight robbery camp, Chun Yuqiong lost another 2,000 soldiers and horses.

The Dead Battalion won the first battle and won a lot, but it was commendable that it withdrew unharmed.

After Zhang Liao returned to Hangu Pass, he came to Jia Xu for the first time, in the middle of the night, Jia Xu had not yet slept, he read at night, and saw Zhang Liao return with a relaxed smile, and guessed that the camp was robbed and returned victoriously without asking.

"The military advisor is like a god, Chun Yuqiong really lax his guards, he didn't know the truth of our army, and he didn't act rashly, and he won a complete victory in this battle."

Jia Xu smiled when he heard this, tepid.

"The general will go and let the dead camp rest for a while, and then go to rob the camp in two hours, this time, it is better to beat Chun Yuqiong."

The smile on Zhang Liao's face froze, staring at Jia Xu suspiciously, and then turned around and left to give a military order first, and then turned back and asked Jia Xu for advice.

"Strategist, Chun Yuqiong has been attacked once, how can he repeat the mistakes of the past? Now his camp must be heavily guarded and ready to respond. In addition, I pretended to make a noise to Zhang Jaw's camp before, next time, Zhang Jaw may not be fooled again, if he sends an army to surround Chun Yuqiong's camp, won't this dead soldier camp be wiped out? ”

It is often said that it can be repeated and repeated, but not repeated and repeated.

Fighting on the march is indispensable, especially when dealing with the same enemy, by the same means, and with a very short interval of time, and no matter how sophisticated the strategy, few opponents will fall twice in a pit.

Jia Xuhun didn't care about Zhang Liao's questioning, and said softly and slowly: "Chun Yuqiong was defeated during the day yesterday, the morale of the army was low, and the camp was robbed in the middle of the night, and the successive blows must have made his soldiers panic and uneasy. As for Zhang Jaw, he will indeed no longer be suspicious of the soldiers' plans, and there is a lesson from the defeat of the Cao army in Wuguan, he will always guard against the enemy army to rob the camp, but, general, if you are Zhang Jaw, do you want to wipe out the dead soldiers' camp, or bury all the enemy troops who walked out of Hangu Pass? ”

Zhang Liao thought thoughtfully, nodded after a while, and admired Jia Xu so much.

Fighting depends on people, people fighting wars rely on strength and spirit, Chun Yuqiong's army was defeated first and then was attacked by sneak attack, morale fell to the bottom, the spirit was highly tense, people don't sleep at night will consume excessive energy, if you stay up late and be nervous, when it's almost dawn, can you still hold on?

Chun Yuqiong is not defended, and it will be even more deadly to rob the camp again.

Chun Yuqiong learned a lesson and defended strictly, and the opponent's combat strength during the second robbery of the camp was not as strong as the tiger after the first victory of the dead battalion.

Just after 5 o'clock (5 o'clock), before dawn, Zhang Liao led the army out of the city again.

The old trick was repeated, and the battalion of dead soldiers attacked Chun Yuqiong's camp directly, and this time, Chun Yuqiong's army defense was even more unbearable.

"The camp is hijacked! There are enemy troops! ”

The camp in the south was boiling like a frying pan again, and the successive changes made many of Yuan's psychological defense lines collapse, they wanted to sleep and couldn't sleep, and their hearts were always worried, and now the nightmare came, and many people picked up their weapons and slashed and killed indiscriminately, completely ignoring whether they were friends or foes.

Chun Yuqiong still got up with a splitting headache, his anger completely turned to hatred, ordered the soldiers to get up to meet the enemy, and once again asked Zhang Jaw to come to help.

Last time, if Chun Yuqiong could retreat from the enemy, maybe he could quickly eliminate the uneasiness in the army and calm the chaos, but now, even if the battalion of dead soldiers retreats, his battalion is still a mess, killing his own people, and a few people have not obeyed the order, or they have picked up weapons to fight back, or they have fled for their lives.

This is a typical bombing camp.

Zhang Jaw, who had only slept for two hours, put on his armor and walked out of the big tent.

To the west, there are still gongs and drums made by Zhang Liao.

Zhang Jaw is different from Chun Yu Qiong, he has long prevented the other party from robbing the camp, so the officers and soldiers in his battalion perform their duties, the rest that should rest, the night patrol that should patrol, and the robbery of the camp, which general should lead the troops to resist the enemy, there is a clear division of labor.

This time, with a sneer on his face, he ordered the whole army to go straight to Hangu Pass!

If he went to rescue Chun Yuqiong, at most he would kill the enemy troops who robbed the camp.

But if he moves his army directly to the west now, he will not only block the retreat of the dead soldiers' battalion, but will also be more likely to fight down and take Hangu Pass!

With the soldiers and horses straight to Hangu Pass, just out of the camp two miles, Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao inevitably met.

It's really a narrow road.

Zhang Jaw was suddenly startled, and blurted out: "Zhang Liao, are you like a god!" ”

The sky was bright, and the faint morning light was already able to let Zhang Jaw see the whole picture of the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao rode in front of the formation, there were crossbowmen behind him, and archers on both sides, and Zhang Jaw's army was a hundred paces away,-for-tat.

With a smile, Zhang Liao said lightly: "Brother Jun, it's better to lead the army to rush and kill, and you and I will fight on the battlefield!" ”

This time, Zhang Liao went out of the city and led 5,000 crossbowmen and 10,000 archers, and on both sides of the road behind him, there were layers of fortifications.

Open your jaw and gritted her teeth, unwilling to do so.

The battlefield is not open, and the space for long-range weapons to play is very large, and the army led by Zhang Liao is facing the hasty dispatch of troops, and the victory is in hand.
