Chapter Forty-Seven: Cooked Ducks Have Wings

Zhou Jun...... Did you really call it?!

Just when [Mirage] Qin Ke'er was panicking at her own complicated mood and clutching her chest and secretly feeling sad, in the marshal tent of the Taiping Army camp at Hukou, thirty miles away, [Heavenly Ji] Liu Qing was listening to the words of the general who came to report with a shocked face.

As Xie An said triumphantly to Qin Ke'er at that time, the Zhou army launched a fierce offensive on the north and east sides of the Taiping army barracks, although it was only Xie Ansheng's strategy of attacking the east and west, but the Zhou army on the north and east sides was extremely brave, as if they had made up their minds to decide the victory in a game tonight, so that the stalemate between the two armies for more than 20 days came to an end.

"It can't be...... Then how could Xie An have the guts to attack the camp? ”

In the handsome tent, Liu Qing frowned worriedly, and paced back and forth in the tent anxiously.

In her opinion, Xie An is clearly a cautious guy, in order to prevent the defeat of the Great Liang Army in the first battle of the Taiping Army, which will lead to a decline in the morale of the army, he would rather be scolded as a rat than retreat into the camp, how could he try to come to retaliate because of the defeat of his southern camp last night?

Ah, he wouldn't dare! As long as he mistakenly believes that our army still has 150,000 men, it will never be possible to attack our army's camp, unless ......

Unless he has learned that Wu Heng led an army of 100,000 to Jiangdong, he knows that our army is weak at the moment......

Wrong......

Wu Heng withdrew three days ago, and he asked Xu Le to attack the Zhou army camp at night the next day, so as not to make Xie An suspicious, if this person had already known about Wu Heng's departure and tried to attack our army, he could have done it as early as a few days ago, and there was no need to wait until tonight. Since that guy only planned to do it tonight, it means that he only learned about Wu Heng leading 100,000 troops to Jiangdong today, but Wu Heng has been gone for three or four days......

No, I always feel that something is wrong......

He stood in the tent with his hands on his back. Liu Qing took a deep breath, calmed down her anxious mood, and her thinking beyond ordinary people began to work quickly.

The news that Wu Heng led 100,000 soldiers to leave Hukou and rush to Jiangdong leaked, otherwise Xie An would never have the courage to attack the camp!

The question is, how did Xie An learn about this?

Is there a spy in my Taiping army?

Or is it Wu Heng......

As if thinking of something terrible, Liu Qing subconsciously shook her head, raised her hand and patted her cheeks, and said to herself as if comforting herself. "Most of them are spies of the Zhou army in the army, yes, yes, since my Taiping army can be placed in the Great Zhou army, why can't the Zhou army? Right, right. It must be like this...... The top priority is how to resist the offensive of the Great Liang Army, not to be suspicious of the siblings of the army! ”

With a long sigh, Liu Qing put the terrifying guess in his heart behind him, but despite this, she still had some doubts about Wu Heng, after all, the whole thing was too coincidental, as if someone specifically wanted to get rid of her Liu Qing by Xie An's hand.

But anyway. Liu Qing is a wise and knowledgeable woman after all, although she is a little suspicious of Wu Heng, but she did not reveal it to others, and she herself is not sure. Second, this kind of thing is really difficult to spread, otherwise, the entire Taiping army will be hit.

"What is the current situation in the north and east camps?" I made up my mind not to think about Wu Heng for the time being. Liu Qing paid attention to the current battle situation, after all, this was the top priority.

"Princess Qiyu. The two generals Feng Xi and Yan Shao have led 5,000 troops to block the North Camp, and the two generals Xu Le and Chu Qi have led 4,000 soldiers to fight with the Zhou army in the East Camp. ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a herald rushed in from outside the tent, knocked on the ground and clasped his fists and shouted urgently, "Princess, Dongying asks for help!" ”

"Dongying?" Liu Qing was shocked in her heart, and asked urgently, "Isn't there two generals Xu Le and Chu Qi and four thousand soldiers in Dongying?" Could it be that the battle was lost? ”

"Uh......" When the herald heard this, he hurriedly explained, "The princess has misunderstood, the two generals Xu Le and Chu Qi are not left behind......

The more Liu Qing listened, the more puzzled she became, and asked in surprise, "Since you haven't fallen behind, why do you ask for help?" At this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and exclaimed, "I know! -- The camp is too big for the two generals to block the eastern camp with 4,000 men! ”

Something really went wrong!

Liu Qing frowned, she knew very well that the camp she was in was originally prepared for the 150,000 Taiping army, and now Wu Heng has taken away 100,000 people, making this camp relatively huge, once the Zhou army breaks through the gatehouse of the fourth battalion, it can search the camp wantonly, which is no different from encounters in the field, which makes the camp, which could have been used as a means of defense, useless.

Count him Xie An lucky!

Liu Qing, who had suffered a secret loss, muttered very depressedly, in fact, she also thought about changing the scope of the small camp, but it was too late, but she didn't expect to be taken advantage of by Xie An.

I have to say that Liu Qing underestimated Xie An too much, in fact, Xie An thought of this layer that he would try to make the Taiping army defend the camp instead of taking the initiative to fight, so that the Taiping army fell into an unfavorable situation of being passively beaten at the beginning, and could only helplessly guard against the continuous attack of the Zhou army.

"Pass my order, transfer 5,000 soldiers to the east camp, and then transfer 5,000 soldiers to the north camp, it is bound to block the Zhou army near the camp gatehouse, and they must not be allowed to attack the camp!" With a wave of her hand, Liu Qing doubled the strength of the East Camp and the North Camp at once, because she knew very well that if a large number of soldiers did not block the camp gate at this time and let the Zhou army enter at will, then the camp of the Taiping Army, which was originally used as a means of defense, would completely become an ornament and would no longer play any role.

However, to Liu Qing's great consternation, less than half an hour after she gave the order to add troops to the north and east battalions, several more heralds came to the commander's tent.

"Report! The battle situation in the north camp is stalemate, and General Feng Xi asks the princess to send reinforcements! ”

"Report! The battle situation in Dongying is stalemate, and General Chu Qi asks the princess to send reinforcements! ”

Liu Qing was stunned, you must know that the North Camp and the East Camp have nearly 10,000 troops at the moment, so they can't stop the offensive of the Zhou army?

"Hurry up and find out, how many people are in the Zhou army?" Liu Qing asked in horror.

After a while, a herald came to report back.

"Returning to the princess, there are roughly more than 20,000 Zhou troops near the North Camp, and more than 30,000 Zhou troops near the East Camp, and the two camps cover a wide area. The generals can't block the camp gate, so I urgently ask the princess to send reinforcements! ”

Twenty thousand?

Thirty thousand?

This is a full 50,000 soldiers, so Xie An only has a total of 80,000 Liang troops, and most of them were used in the first battle tonight? Isn't he afraid that his camp will be empty, and he will take the opportunity to attack his camp?

Liu Qing secretly regretted that he had asked the generals to defend the camp before.

In her opinion, if she wants to know this, she should give up her own camp, which has become dispensable, and go to exchange for Xie An's camp.

You must know that Xie An has relied on that impregnable camp these days to survive in front of her 150,000 army, if there is no turtle shell. It is enough to increase her Liu Qing's chances of winning by three points.

What's more, Xie An's camp is a camp of 80,000 people, and there is enough grain and grass in the camp, if he can get that camp, Liu Qing can not only save a lot of time to rebuild the camp. Large quantities of grain and grass can also be captured.

In other words, swapping camps with Xie An at this time is definitely a sure thing!

It's a pity, why didn't I think of going to the camp with him?

Not?

Thinking of this, Liu Qing was stunned, and after frowning and thinking for a moment, she muttered to herself. "Could it be that Xie An also took into account the emptiness of my camp at the moment, and calculated that in order to defend the camp, he would inevitably shrink the defense line and defend the camp instead of sending troops?"

I see......

No wonder he chose to attack at night. And not to attack my battalion in the daylight!

It's long overdue!

A night attack is a surprise victory, but there is also a risk of an ambush, and if it were an ordinary person, after learning that our army only had 50,000 troops left. It is absolutely impossible to take the risk of attacking our army at night, and he Xie An only needs to send troops to engage our army during the day. I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to have a three-point chance of victory.

But he chose to attack at night......

I see, it turned out that it was to cover up the fact that he had mobilized more than 50,000 Liang troops at once, and he was afraid that he would attack his camp after learning about it!

The rumors are really not credible, then Xie An can become the secretary of the Great Zhou Criminal Department, and it is definitely not only by virtue of the power of his wife's Liangqiu clan and the eldest grandson clan!

[Don't underestimate Brother Chen's cousin-in-law......]

Recalling in her ears what Chen Bei had warned her before leaving, Liu Qing only felt red in the face, and felt ashamed of her disdain at that time.

She has always been the only one who calculates everything, waiting for the other party to fall into the trap, but this time, she was calculated so simply by a rumored womanizer.

really underestimated the heroes of the world......

Liu Qing rubbed her head in annoyance.

However, if you want to defeat me Liu Qing so easily, it's not so easy......

Liu Qing's beautiful eyes narrowed, for the first time, she raised Xie An to the same height as her, just like the eldest grandson Xiangyu did back then.

"Princess?" Seeing Liu Qing sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed and pondering, the heralds in the tent said eagerly, "Princess, please send reinforcements to the north camp and the east camp quickly, once the Zhou army comes in, everything will be over!" ”

"Kill in? No, no, no, the Zhou army in those two places will not kill them......" Under the stunned gazes of several heralds in the tent, Liu Qing calmed down instead, sat on the main seat and muttered, "According to the calculation shown by Xie An, he is obviously also good at tricks, since he can calculate my Liu Qing, how can he stupidly sit back and watch the senseless consumption of the two sergeants?" - He should know that even if there are only 50,000 of our army left, it will be impossible for him to break through from the north camp and the east camp head-on! In other words, those two Zhou armies are bait! It's a bait to force me to add troops in those two directions! ”

"Gong ...... Host? Seeing Liu Qing, who was unusually calm, the heralds looked at Yang Yu, the commander of the pro-soldier leaning on the tent door, as if they wanted to ask the general to persuade Liu Qing a few words, after all, the battle between the northern camp and the eastern army was quite tragic in their opinion.

"Shh To the surprise of several heralds, Yang Yu stretched out a finger to his mouth, made a small motion, and then looked at Liu Qing with a smile.

What a look......

...... with her mother

Yang Yu thought secretly in his heart.

As Chen Bei's lieutenant general, Yang Yu's age is also similar to Chen Bei, and he has also seen Liu Qing's biological mother named Chen Bei, who has never forgotten it, and now, looking at Liu Qing, a little girl who grew up since childhood, Yang Yu seems to have seen the second-generation coach who he respects very much, Liu Qing's biological mother, Liu Qian.

"......" Yang Yu couldn't help but look at the corner of the tent, in his memory, when Liu Qian was thinking hard about the way out of the Taiping Army. Chen Bei sat quietly in the corner, looking at her quietly, looking at her obsessively.

Really......

Even this smile is ......

It's a pity that neither me nor Chen Shuai has ever guarded that moving smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze......

Holding the saber, Yang Yu lowered his head in some frustration and let out a long breath.

Liu Qing didn't notice Yang Yu's expression, and if she did, she would probably feel annoyed. Because she was most disgusted that someone compared her with her mother, after all, Chen Bei, whom she admired, had looked at her face in a daze more than once. And this is the last thing Liu Qing wants to see.

Fortunately, Liu Qing was thinking about Xie An's thoughts right now, which made Yang Yu less scolded.

"Bait...... Bait ......" muttered a few words. Coldly, Liu Qing raised his head and calmly asked the heralds, "How is the situation in the South Camp and the West Camp?" ”

Huh? Didn't you just talk about Beiying and Dongying?

How do you mention Nanying and Xiying?

Is Her Royal Highness the Princess in a hurry? The Zhou army attacked the North Camp and the East Camp, not the South Camp and the West Camp!

Although they were full of complaints, the heralds didn't dare to say it, and said respectfully, "Princess Qiyu." Everything is normal in Nanying and Xiying! ”

"Normal?" Liu Qing chuckled, shook her head and said, "No, no, no, this is the most abnormal!" He said. The corners of her mouth raised a little smile, and she said with a smile, "I can't imagine that Xie An is also a ruthless person, and he actually asked 50,000 Liang troops to be bait." Induce our army to increase the number of troops to the north camp and the east camp ......" At this point, she turned her head and asked the herald. "Beiying and Dongying, have you ever seen the cavalry of the Great Liang Army?"

Originally, seeing that Liu Qing finally talked about the North Camp and the Eastern Army, the heralds secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but they didn't expect that Liu Qing did not give the order to add troops, but asked a question that was not very important.

"I haven't seen the cavalry......," said a herald who shook his head, and then muttered to himself, "The cavalry can't attack the camp......

"Who said cavalry can't attack the camp?" Liu Qing frowned and glanced at the muttering herald, and said coldly, "If I were Xie An, when attacking the North Camp and the East Camp, as long as I put in a few cavalry and horses to join the camp, I would definitely be able to disturb my camp everywhere!" - But he didn't, do you know why? ”

"......" The herald opened his mouth, speechless.

He didn't think that someone who could calculate Liu Qing would never be negligent in this kind of thing, in other words, he didn't want to do it! Why? Because he wants me and others to concentrate their forces in the north camp and the east camp, and wants to attack my big camp from the rear! - That's the real killer move! ”

"Striking the West?" Yang Yu frowned and interjected.

"Probably so!" Liu Qing nodded, and said, "Storming my north and east second battalions, but ignoring the south and west second battalions, this is unreasonable, in my opinion, Xie An probably wants to wait for our army to pile up all the troops in the north and east camps, and then call a cavalry to attack the south or west camp, and defeat our army in one fell swoop!" - Is it no wonder that he used 50,000 soldiers, because our army also has 50,000 soldiers? ”

"South Camp or West Camp?"

"This ......" Liu Qing hesitated, pondering Xie An's thoughts, and speculated, "It is rumored that Xie An cherishes his soldiers very much, and there must be a strategy for fighting, otherwise he will not fight, and he has never fought a battle that consumes the strength of both sides in vain, but right now, he has ordered 50,000 Liang troops to fight to the death with our army in the North Camp and the East Camp, which is not in line with his character...... He definitely wanted to end this battle as soon as possible, even if it was to take a breath earlier, so that he could sacrifice one less soldier, in this case, he would probably not choose the southern camp of our army, which was the farthest away from the Zhou camp...... Xiying! - The cavalry of the Zhou army will enter from the western camp! ”

It's really a genius......

Yang Yu secretly praised in his heart, clenched his fists and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you want to dispatch the [Tianfu Army]?" ”

The Tianfu Army, a terrifying army with thousands of generals and martial arts, was both Liu Qing's escort and the most elite army in the Taiping Army, although the number was only about 300.

"No!" Liu Qing shook his head, and said with a straight face, "[Tianfu Army] is the last hole card of our army!" - I don't want that Xie An to know about it yet! ”

"...... over there in the West Camp"

Liu Qing pondered for a moment, raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Let that cavalry in!" ”

Yang Yu frowned, and then as if he had thought of something, he said tentatively, "Her Royal Highness the princess plans to eat the cavalry of the Zhou army?" ”

"Not bad!" Liu Qing nodded, and said with a straight face, "Our army's 50,000 soldiers are all foot soldiers, while Xie An's 80,000 Liang army has 20,000 cavalry, this gap alone is quite large, since there is an opportunity to get rid of some cavalry first, why not?" ”

Half an hour later, as Liu Qing expected, when she added most of the troops in the camp to the north camp and the east camp, outside the west camp of her Taiping army, a huge number of cavalry arrived, and they attacked the gate of the camp and killed them directly in the direction of the middle camp.

At this moment, the northern and southern camps of the Taiping army were on fire, and the troops that attracted the attention of the Taiping army as bait watched in amazement as the Taiping soldiers set fire to the camp by themselves.

The wind fueled the fire, and in an instant, the northern and southern camps of the Taiping Army were like a sea of fire, making it difficult for tens of thousands of Liang troops to get close. For a time, tens of thousands of Liang troops stayed in place, and the six gods had no master, and they didn't know what to do.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Taiping soldiers who were originally in the North Camp and the East Camp quickly returned to the middle camp, just blocking the way of the nearly 10,000 cavalry of the Zhou army.

Seeing the countless Taiping soldiers flocking to him from all directions, Song Shu, the general of the cavalry of the Zhou army, was shocked, after all, he found that what he saw was completely different from what Xie An said.

"It's not good, it's a trick, retreat!"

Before the words fell, a fire also broke out in the western camp of the Taiping Army, blocking the retreat of this cavalry.

Seeing that there were fires in the north, east, and west, Song Shu gritted his teeth, and didn't care about attacking the middle camp that was guarded by countless Taiping regiments, and immediately ordered a retreat in the direction of the southern camp, trying to escape before the Taiping army surrounded them.

But Liu Qing had already arranged 8,000 archers in the south in advance, and just when Song Shu thought he was about to throw off the pursuers behind him, what was waiting for him was a rain of arrows.

With such a dense rain of arrows, even Chen Bei couldn't leave alive, let alone Song Shu, in just the blink of an eye, this general with 10,000 soldiers had been hit by dozens of arrows and fell to his death.

As soon as Song Shu died, the cavalry of the Zhou army was even more chaotic.

Liu Qing had already prepared 8,000 archers to block, and tens of thousands of pursuers covered up and killed, and nearly 10,000 cavalry were in chaos, blindly scurrying around the Taiping military camp, although the Taiping army suffered a lot of losses, but in the end, no one escaped.

This army, which was originally regarded by Xie An as a killing move and as able to end the confrontation between the two armies for more than 20 days, was actually besieged and killed alive by Liu Qing in the Taiping army camp, and the whole army was annihilated.

Listening to the screams of friendly soldiers coming from inside the Taiping military camp, tens of thousands of Liang troops outside the camp looked at each other. I wanted to help, but I was blocked by the sea of fire, and I couldn't do anything to help the cavalry of the Zhou army in crisis.

In this battle, the Taiping army lost more than 5,000 soldiers and soldiers, and the three remote villages in the north, east and west were burned down, and there were countless losses of grain and grass.

On the side of the Great Liang Army, the loss of soldiers reached 13,000, of which nearly 10,000 were cavalry, who were surrounded by Liu Qing and died unjustly under the arrows.

Under Xie An's ingenious strategy, Liu Qing resolutely broke his wrist and burned down three camps, losing countless baggage, grain and grass, but also made the Zhou army pay a heavy blow of nearly 10,000 cavalry.

When this battle report reached Xie An's ears, Xie An was dumbfounded.

Boiled duck, flew ......

As if they had a heart in their hearts, Xie An and Qin Ke'er invariably had a sentence in their hearts, but they were in different moods.

PS: I'm sorry that every update is so late.

A couple of comments amused me. It's true that I'm still single, but it's still difficult to take on this important task with FFF or something.

Anyway, there are still people who curse me for being a single person for the rest of my life? How much enmity do we have?

It is also said that the character of the hurt is updated in the middle of the night...... There is no way to justify this.
