Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Second Move
The night was already dark, and the cold wind swept the dead grass everywhere, wrapping around his body like a ghost, Liu Feng shook his shoulders, trying to use this action to drive away some pervasive cold.
The blade-like gaze pierced through the iron curtain of the night, and the camp shrouded in darkness was filled with a strange strangeness. Under the curtain of this night, countless pairs of black hole eyes were also looking at the empty camp like Liu Feng.
In the dead and silent wilderness, there will occasionally be a few long howls of wild dogs, the sound is terrible and weird, like the vicious dogs of hell are taking souls for their lives, making people suddenly have the illusion of not being in the world.
The sound of the dead grass breaking broke Liu Feng's thoughts, and it was Ma Jian who came in a hurry, and with the faint starlight, Liu Feng, who had excellent eyes, could vaguely discern a little excitement from Ma Tan's face.
The corners of Liu Feng's mouth raised slightly, and a sly smile was raised.
"The eldest prince, the latest urgent report from the scouts, a group of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses have just come out of the west gate of Linxiang and are coming around to the north, the eldest prince, it seems that the fish is about to be baited."
Liu Feng sneered: "This old general Huang is really good at using soldiers, and he knows that I may be wary of him robbing the camp, so he deliberately came out of the west gate." ”
"Before, I was worried about whether they would come to worry, but now it seems that all the worries are superfluous, everything is expected by the eldest prince." Ma Tan couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Feng said lightly: "Huang Hansheng's surname is straightforward, I don't think he will talk to me speculatively during the day, and he will go back on his word and steal the camp at night, most likely because he was forced by Han Xuan's family." ”
Ma Yan nodded and said: "Han Xuan's guy can be a taishou, and he still has some ability, and he knows how to take the opportunity to rob the camp, but he is self-righteous, but he never imagined that he would fall into our hands." ”
As he spoke, the scout came again to report that the enemy soldiers and horses that had come out of the west gate were now not more than a few miles north of the camp, and they would soon be killed.
Liu Feng took a deep breath, shook up his spirit, and said loudly: "Pass the order, all songs are fully guarded, and listen to my orders to act according to the plan." ”
Three miles away, the lightly armed army was quietly advancing under the cover of night.
At the front of the line, Huang Zhong was wearing heavy armor, holding the sword that had followed him for decades, looking for the flickering lights of the enemy camp and walking briskly.
Being in Changsha for decades, he is very familiar with everything here, and even where there will be potholes on this section of the road, Huang Zhong knows everything well. Therefore, despite the dimness of the stars and moon, Huang Zhong was still able to lead his soldiers and horses to the direction where the enemy camp was located smoothly.
As he marched, the enemy camp was getting closer and closer, and he could even see the enemy guards standing under the camp gates.
All the circumstances showed that the young man was completely defenseless, which would have been the most fortunate thing for a campjack, but Huang Zhong's heart was heavy.
Regardless of whether Liu Feng was plotting or not, but all this was his and Han Xuan's speculation, since he was imploring the other party to withdraw his troops, then now he turned his face and took the opportunity to rob the camp, in Huang Zhong's opinion, this kind of practice really damaged his reputation. But Huang Zhong had no choice, and under Han Xuan's aggressive suspicion, he had to fight to prove his innocence.
The night wind was howling in my ears, and the enemy camp was close at hand.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.
Huang Zhong forcibly suppressed the thoughts of the flying and focused all his attention on the rapidly approaching enemy camp, and when the soldiers and horses dived to nearly a hundred steps, Huang Zhong waved his big sword and crossed a wonderful arc in the air.
"Kill-" In the loud roar like a bell, Huang Zhong took the lead, taking the lead and speeding up like a gale.
The 1,000 Changsha soldiers behind him, like wolves crawling in the grass, suddenly rose up, roared out of the night, waved their claws for life, and surged up.
The raid came suddenly, and the Jiangxia soldiers guarding the gate were like frightened lambs, and immediately abandoned their posts and fled back to the camp. A thousand Changsha soldiers, almost without encountering any resistance, easily broke through the antlers and smashed into the enemy camp like a bamboo.
Expectedly, under the surprise attack, the unsuspecting enemy soldiers would run out of the tent in disheveled armor, and before they could see the faces of their opponents, they became ghosts under the sword, and then he set fire to the enemy camp with the wind, and then considered whether to continue to pursue and kill the rout who fled in disarray.
But the fact is that none of the expected images appeared, and the entire enemy camp seemed to be empty.
The moment he attacked the enemy camp, Huang Zhong felt that something was wrong, but how could he easily stop the arrow as soon as it left the string, and when he reined in his horse and ordered the soldiers to rush to kill, the brigade had already entered the hinterland of the enemy camp.
The shouts of killing gradually subsided, and finally fell silent. The soldiers who were originally excited were facing an empty camp at this moment, and their faces were full of confusion and incomprehension.
Huang Zhong glanced around, and in his dark mind, two words crossed like lightning - middle plan!
"Withdraw! Retreat to the city at once! Huang Zhong shouted, turned his horse and left.
After not taking a few steps back, suddenly the earth-shattering drum beat poured into the eardrums, and the darkness in front of him was instantly filled with firelight, this sudden firelight stabbed Huang Zhong and a thousand soldiers unable to open their eyes, and at the initial moment, they only cared about raising their hands to cover their eyes, but they forgot to retreat.
By the time they came to their senses, it was too late.
Under countless torches, countless Death Fangs were sneering at them, and the enemy who had been in ambush for a long time suddenly attacked, and the semi-circular encirclement composed of strong bows and crossbows covered all the thousands of Changsha soldiers under its striking surface.
At such a close distance, as long as the bow and crossbow are fired, the blood flows like a river in the blink of an eye.
In the torch, a white shadow seemed to come out of the fire, and the horizontal spear immediately stood proudly, and said loudly to Huang Zhong: "Old General Huang, it seems that we talked very speculatively this morning, this big night, even if you want to chat with the juniors again, you don't need to be so excited." ”
Under the light of the fire, Huang Zhong could not recognize that handsome face.
His face was gloomy, he looked at Liu Feng and said coldly: "Liu Gongzi, I didn't expect you to expect it, it seems that this morning's solo riding meeting must also be your divisive plan." ”
Liu Feng smiled and said: "The old general is like a god, how can the younger generation not be vigilant." As for what kind of divisive plan, if Han Xuan really trusts the old general, even if the knife is on his neck, I am afraid that there is no way to make him suspicious of the old general. ”
When the truth was revealed, Huang Zhong couldn't help but be angry, but Liu Feng didn't wait for him to attack, and immediately said: "The old general doesn't have to feel angry, although I used a trick to discord, I will still keep my promise to the old general." I have sent someone to send a letter to persuade the soldiers to retire, and before I get a reply from my father, I Liu Feng will never do anything to Changsha County, which the old general can rest assured. ”
Huang Zhong, who was originally annoyed, was annoyed, but after hearing Liu Feng's words, the anger that had just been aroused was extinguished again, and he secretly thought that although this kid had used means, as he said, if Han Xuan trusted him, even if the kid played tricks, it would be useless. And if that kid really kept the promise of the Solo Riders, then what he did was not a real breach of the covenant.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong's solemn expression darkened, he took a deep breath, and said silently: "Anyway, now that I have been ambushed by you, Liu Gongzi, you can let the horse come over, I, Huang Zhong, say that even if I die here, I will not be shaken even if I die!" ”
Listening to Huang Zhong's generous words, Liu Feng only smiled faintly: "I said that I will never use troops in Changsha until my father replies, General Huang, please take care of yourself." ”
This kid is going to let me go!
At this time, Huang Zhong's face was full of surprise.
