Chapter 360: Adventurous Night Raid
In the middle of the night, Hu Zequan lay on the bed, but it was difficult to sleep, he was always relieved that Zhang Wei led the army to attack Linxi Town, Xiao Tianci is not a man who does not learn and does not know how to do it, when he was in Beijing, he has always been known for his civil and military skills, but after being defeated by Li Qing's guards, his reputation plummeted, and the world looked down on him for this, but people like Hu Zequan who have been in the world for a long time will naturally not be confused by these appearances, the Xiao family has been a gate for generations, and the carefully cultivated descendants will be sent there again, unable to sleep, Suo surname got up with clothes on, I decided to go to the barracks for a turn, and by the way, I also made a round.
Just walked out of the tent door, there was a commotion at the gate of the military camp in the distance, Hu Zequan was startled, stretched out his hand to summon a personal soldier, and asked him to inquire about the situation, after the personal soldier left, Hu Zequan couldn't help but be anxious to settle up, a sense of foreboding in his heart always lingered, and after waiting for a while, his own personal soldiers had not returned, but he saw Lu Xiaobo's herald running over in a panic, and he sighed in his heart, he already knew that something was wrong.
"Is there something wrong with Deputy Chief Manager Zhang?" Hu Zequan grabbed the herald and asked in a low voice.
The herald looked panicked, and said in a low voice: "General Hu, the big thing is not good, Chief Manager Zhang fell for Xiao Tianci's plan in Linxi Town, and the whole army was wiped out, and now the few remaining people have fled back." ”
"What about Mr. Zhang himself?" Hu Zequan asked.
The herald shook his head, "I don't know, but according to the soldiers who fled back, Deputy Chief Zhang's position at that time should not have been flooded, but they fled first, and I don't know what happened later." ”
Hu Zequan gritted his teeth, threw away the herald, and strode towards Lu Xiaobo's Chinese army's big tent, more than 10,000 troops were wiped out, and the strategy of the southern army in Qinzhou will form a great blow.
Halfway through the run, there was another commotion at the gate, and Hu Zequan looked up, only to see an army in the uniform of the Southern Army dragging the flag upside down and rushing towards this side in embarrassment.
The herald's eyes were sharp, and he said in surprise: "General Hu, the person at the head seems to be Deputy Chief Manager Zhang, by the way, it must be him, Deputy Chief Manager Zhang likes to wear red armor, this person is wearing red armor, it must be Deputy Chief Manager Zhang who has escaped and returned." ”
Hu Zehui snorted, 10,000 troops against 3,000 Royal Forest Army, before leaving, he also reminded him, but he was still defeated and lost, and he still had the face to come back.
With a calm face, he glanced at the remnants of the army that had approached the gate, and at this glance, Hu Zequan's eyes immediately widened, jumped up, and said loudly: "Close the door, close the door, this is the enemy, the enemy, the enemy attack, send the alarm!" He drew his steel knife and ran towards the gate.
The herald is inexplicable, is this obviously Deputy Chief Zhang, how did he become an enemy? But immediately, his eyes were round, his mouth was wide open, and the man in red armor rode his horse to the gate of the camp, but he opened his bow left and right, and cut down the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp of Qing, and trampled the horses behind, and behind him, the soldiers who were originally depressed shouted, and suddenly the dragon spirit and tiger rose violently, and rushed into the camp like a tide, and instantly cut down the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp.
Hu Zequan found that the mystery was not elsewhere, but in the queue of this remnant army, although the army that came over lost its armor and hung its head, but the queue was condensed and not dispersed, and it was clearly a relatively hidden attack formation.
Pulling out his legs and running a few steps towards the gate of Yuanmen, but seeing that the enemy army had occupied the gate in this instant, Hu Zequan stomped his feet, turned around and ran to Lu Xiaobo's big tent, there were not many enemy troops coming, if he could quickly organize a counterattack and stop this army in the camp, it was not impossible to annihilate it, at this time, Hu Zequan was most afraid of bombing the camp.
In the middle of the night, the enemy's situation is unknown, and once the camp is bombed, even the gods will not be able to save the defeat. In the big camp, there are more than 30,000 soldiers, and the enemy who came to attack is only a few thousand people, and it must be Xiao Tianci's department in Linxi Town, but presumably behind him, Chengfeng's more than 10,000 troops in the left battalion will also hear the wind, and they can only wipe out Xiao Tianci's troops before the arrival of reinforcements from the left battalion in order to save the situation.
When Xiao Tianci attacked the camp, Lu Xiaobo was asking Zhang Wei's whereabouts in detail, compared to the loss of more than 10,000 people, Lu Xiaobo was more worried about Zhang Wei's life and death, after all, he was an old man who had been born and died together for many years, when he heard that the water was coming, Zhang Wei would not be washed away by the water, and Lu Xiaobo, who was relieved, heard the fierce shouting of killing, jumped up violently, rushed out of the camp, and saw Hu Zequan rushing over.
"Chief Zhang, immediately order the army to be assembled and annihilate this enemy army in the camp." Hu Zequan said urgently.
"How many people are coming?" Lu Xiaobo asked urgently.
"Not much, two or three thousand at most!" Hu Zequan said, "Don't hesitate, this Xiao Tianci is so bold that he actually wants to attack the camp, and he just closes the door and beats the dog." ”
Lu Xiaobo's eyes looked into the distance, his pupils shrank, and he said to Hu Zequan: "General Hu, the other party's reinforcements have arrived, look!" Hu Zequan turned back in surprise, but saw that not far away, torches were like stars in the sky, lit up one after another, and he couldn't help but gasp in his heart. I couldn't help but feel a pang of despair.
At this time, the fire in the camp was soaring, Xiao Tianci's troops were invincible in the camp, and most of the southern troops who were still sleeping in Chu either fell under the iron hooves, or were burned alive in the tent, and escaped by luck, and had to face the enemy's slashing and killing, and for a while, the camp of tens of thousands of people was in chaos.
"Retreat, retreat!" Lu Xiaobo shouted, turned over and stepped on the war horse led by the guards, and said to Hu Zequan: "General Hu, it's too late, even if we gather the army now, we are not the opponent of the other party, retreat immediately, retreat." Assemble in the rear. ”
Hu Zequan sighed, looked at the large battalion that had become a regiment, and also climbed on the war horse, the 50,000 army collapsed like this, and I don't know how much this retreat can be collected back.
Tens of thousands of southern troops finally blew up the camp, scurrying around, fleeing into the darkness, for the fleeing enemy army, Xiao Tianci did not intercept it, but rushed towards those enemy troops who barely gathered some troops, and after a few times, the southern army finally understood that if they fled alone, the enemy would not chase them.
Looking at the fire, the chaotic camp, Xiao Tianci, who was wearing Zhang Wei's red armor, finally breathed a sigh of relief, behind him, the torches that were as dense as sparks were not the reinforcements of the Zuo battalion, but he arranged more than 100 soldiers, the torches were tied to the trees, or tied to the wooden poles, and inserted into the ground, and when this side attacked together, they were immediately lit in turn, and the more than 100 soldiers were holding two torches and running among these torches, creating a false impression that a large army was coming to help, At this time, the more than 10,000 troops stationed in Chengfeng by the Zuo battalion will not arrive for at least an hour.
Xiao Tianci wanted to do all the work, so after he set off, he reported the situation to Linfeng. His adventure was once again a great success, and the southern army, who did not know the truth, was finally forced by him to blow up the battalion, 30,000 people, hum, if it was 30,000 rabbits, how could it be the opponent of his own 3,000 tigers and wolves.
He put away his weapons, and he didn't need to take action in person, his subordinates were hunting for the results of the battle in the barracks, and the battle of Qinzhou would take a turn because of his victories in these two battles.
"Li Qing, I'm not worse than you at all, it's just that your luck is a little better than mine, if I was in Dingzhou back then, then you have your arrogance!" Xiao Tianci thought indignantly.
With 3,000 people to defeat the 50,000 people of the Southern Army, presumably the clan elders will be very pleased.
An hour later, Tian Feng, the deputy commander of the left battalion, led the army to arrive, and was stunned to see that the two or three thousand imperial forest troops had finished the battle for half of the battle, and were guarding many more prisoners than them.
Looking at Xiao Tianci who was walking towards him triumphantly, Tian Feng's heart suddenly swelled with a wave of unease, the face in front of him was the Lu Xiaobo Zhang Wei Group, which had the worst combat strength in the Southern Army, Tianci could easily win, if he met a strong opponent in the future, Tianci took such a risk, I was afraid that he would suffer a big loss, in fact, the safest thing was to wait for an hour, and after meeting with himself, he would have a greater certainty of winning. But this matter Tian Feng can only be pressed in his heart, can not say it, although Xiao Tianci respectfully called himself an uncle, but from the perspective of his style of acting, it is obvious that he wants to get full credit, if he points directly at his adventure, he is afraid that it will cause him to misunderstand, thinking that he has no credit to accuse him, shaking his head, Tian Feng decided not to say, although he is an uncle, but the other party can be regarded as his little master. I'd better talk about this matter with General Xiao after I go back. This is one adventure, but it must not be a second. I'm afraid that the enemy in the future will not be so easy to deal with.
However, it is always good to win, this battle, after all, is to show the prestige of the imperial court, and the situation in Qinzhou has also been greatly alleviated, if it is managed properly, it is not impossible to recover all of Qinzhou.
Thinking of this, Tian Feng greeted him with a smile.
Lu Xiaobo ran wildly for dozens of miles, until dawn, he stopped, packed up his troops and horses, two hours later, barely more than 10,000 people regrouped under his banner, and the people who arrived later finally let Lu Xiaobo figure out the situation, there were only two or three thousand people who attacked the camp, Lu Xiaobo was ashamed and annoyed, and he wanted to order to kill back and kill these thousands of enemies on the spot.
"Enough!" Hu Zequan finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Go back at this time, is there any other way out than to find death, if there were only 3,000 enemy troops attacking the camp before, then I am sure that at this time, there must have been more than 10,000 enemies waiting for us there, is it that Chengfeng's more than 10,000 Beijing Division Zuo Battalion is a decoration?" ”
was scolded by Hu Zequan, Lu Xiaobo was ashamed and annoyed, but he was speechless. I had to be ashamed and ashamed to withdraw from Chengfeng County with more than 10,000 troops who had lost all their baggage.
The consequence of Chengfeng's defeat was that the southern army began to shrink the front in Qinzhou, withdrew from most of Qinzhou, and only retained a few dangerous towns in Qinzhou as strongholds and bridgeheads, and Lu Xiaobo, who returned from defeat, was beheaded by the furious King Ning to show the public, and even Hu Zequan was beaten dozens of boards, after the death of Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei, the remaining 50,000 or 60,000 rogue troops were reorganized, and Hu Zequan, who was beaten by the board, became the commander of the reorganized army, and was carried into the barracks of this army on a stretcher, and began to work on the office.
