Chapter 1614: Ambushed
The 1,000 Jiangdong Army that left Jiangxia City, followed the partial generals who led them, and quietly touched the Jingzhou military camp.
Bonfires were lit in the barracks, and from time to time there were patrolling groups of soldiers in the area lit by the bonfires.
The partial general who led the Jiangdong Army to leave Jiangxia City crouched in the dark night, staring at the Jingzhou Army camp without blinking.
The barracks in the night were immersed in tranquility, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army and the Han Army seemed to have fallen asleep, except for a few patrolling soldiers, there was no abnormal movement.
Dormant in the dark, the Jiangdong Army general waited for a while, did not find anything abnormal, made a move, took the lead in the cat's waist, and jumped in the direction of the barracks.
He hadn't gone far after leaving the city before he gave up riding a horse.
The Jingzhou army and the Han army never reacted to their appearance, which gave him the illusion that they had ignored them due to the carelessness of the enemy army.
The illusion caused him to change his original battle plan from a surprise attack to a sneak attack!
The 1,000 Jiangdong troops who followed him were also bent on their waists and rushed to the barracks of the Jingzhou army and the Han army.
More than a thousand black shadows walked through the night, their feet stepping on the ground, making a "rustling" sound.
The partial general, who led the Jiangdong Army to the barracks, squatted down again after running to a place only thirty or forty steps away from the barracks.
A thousand Jiangdong soldiers squatted down one after another, one by one clenching the shields and short spears in their hands, and stared nervously at the already close military camp.
In the barracks, the patrolling Jingzhou army and the Han army walked along the established route, and the groups disappeared from the sight of the Jiangdong army.
Watching the last patrol of Jingzhou troops walk into the depths of the barracks, the general's face showed a touch of pride.
Fighting against the Jingzhou army and the Han army, he was not sure of winning, but if he wanted to lead the army to sneak attack a sleeping army, he had the confidence that even if he could not annihilate this army, he would definitely be able to burn the barracks with a fire.
Seeing the patrolling Jingzhou army and Han army disappear from sight, the general jumped up again and rushed to the wooden wall outside the barracks.
Due to the hasty construction, no towers were built inside the wooden walls, and there were no Jingzhou or Han troops standing guard.
When he reached the wooden wall, the general first stopped, looked up, and then jumped towards the wooden wall.
The wooden wall was too high, and he jumped a little, but he couldn't hold on to the top, and fell down again.
"Rope!" Turning back and stretching out his hand to the soldier behind him, the general whispered a command.
A soldier took out the rope he had with him and handed it to him, and he quickly knotted a section of the rope into a sleeve, pinched a piece of rope at the end of the sleeve and threw it towards the top of the wooden wall.
The rope hung on the top of a stake, and the general pulled hard to make sure that it was secure, and then grabbed the rope and climbed towards the wooden wall.
Hundreds of ropes were hung on the wooden wall one after another, and one by one the Jiangdong troops climbed along the ropes towards the wall.
It didn't take long, and most of the 1,000 Jiangdong soldiers jumped over the wooden wall and jumped into the barracks.
His feet fell on the ground in the barracks, and the generals and the Jiangdong Army who entered the camp crouched on the ground one by one, their eyes looking around.
The patrols of the Jingzhou army and the Han army did not appear, and with their observations, it would take some time for the patrols to return, and they had ample time to disturb the barracks and set fire!
More and more Jiangdong troops jumped over the wooden wall into the barracks, and when the last soldier landed on both feet, the general beckoned and rushed towards the nearest tent.
When they arrived outside the tent, the general took out the fire fold from his bosom and waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, signaling everyone to prepare to light the fire.
Jiang Dongjun took out the fire fold from his arms, and all his eyes looked at the partial general.
Seeing that the soldiers were ready, the general waved his hand and took the lead in breaking the curtain of the tent with fire.
No sooner had the fire folded than he heard the sound of hurried footsteps in his ears.
The footsteps were very chaotic, not very close to them, but from the chaotic footsteps, he could tell that there were many people running towards him.
"General, it's not good, the tent is empty!" As soon as he looked up in the direction where the sound of footsteps came, a Jiangdong soldier ran behind the general and shouted in a panic: "I've waited for the plan!" ”
"Kill!" As soon as the soldiers' shouts fell, there were bursts of shouts of killing in the barracks.
At the same time, countless torches were lit, and a black crowd of people poured towards them from the barracks.
Hearing that there was no one in the camp, the general was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted to the Jiangdong army who infiltrated the barracks with him: "The whole army retreats!" Return to the city now! ”
"Kill!" There was another shout of killing, and the Jiangdong Army, who was just about to turn around and rush out of the barracks, watched countless fires light up outside the barracks.
In the sky-high firelight, countless soldiers in red armor poured into the barracks like a tide.
In the barracks, I don't know how many Jingzhou troops are coming over, and countless Han troops have appeared outside the barracks, and the 1,000 Jiangdong Army led by the partial general have all been cut off, and they have completely fallen into a desperate situation!
After the 1,000 Jiangdong army left the city, Ling Tong on the city wall was always watching the situation outside the city.
In the dark night, he did not notice that a Han army had left the barracks and went around behind the Jiangdong army.
When the Han army that cut off the back road appeared, Ling Tong was stunned and hurriedly shouted to one of the adjutant generals beside him: "The enemy army has already been prepared, if there is no help, our army outside the city will be completely annihilated!" You defend the city here, and General Ben personally goes out of the city to rescue! ”
"General, no!" As soon as Ling Tong's words fell, the adjutant general hurriedly persuaded: "The general is the main general, if there is a bad pool......
"Although the enemy army is numerous, why should General Ben be afraid?" Glaring at the general, Ling Tong said to him: "Good life to defend the city, if the enemy army chases down the city, even if the general is outside, he must not open the city gate!" ”
Ling Tong said resolutely, and the deputy general didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to clench his fists and say to him: "General be careful!" ”
Nodding his head, Ling Tong quickly walked towards the city wall, and as he walked, he instructed the soldiers who followed him: "Select a thousand elite soldiers, and go out of the city with a certain person to help!" ”
"No!" The soldiers responded, and Xian Ling ran down the city wall in unison.
Soon after Ling Tong descended the city wall, a thousand selected elite soldiers had gathered on the inside of the city gate.
Knowing that they were going out of the city to help, the faces of the thousands of Jiangdong troops were a little ugly.
There were tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city, and the Jiangdong army that went to attack the enemy was only 1,000, and with their 1,000 people, the soldiers and horses who fought with the enemy were only 2,000.
2,000 people against tens of thousands of enemy troops, and there are 3,000 well-equipped and well-trained Han troops, and the Jiangdong army that was selected even has the idea of suicide as long as they go out of the city!
Pressing the hilt of the long sword at his waist, Ling Tong frowned, looked around at the Jiangdong Army soldiers in front of him, and didn't say anything to them, just waved at them and shouted: "Get out of the city!" ”
The city gate slowly opened, and a thousand Jiangdong troops rushed out of the city after Ling Tong.
The military camp in the distance was already in a scuffle, and the Jiangdong army, which had left the city earlier, had already been killed with the Jingzhou army in the barracks.
Ling Tong led the army out of the city, and did not hide it, and the 1,000 Jiangdong troops all lit torches and rushed towards the Han army blocking the outside of the barracks.
"General, there is another Jiangdong army out of the city!" Liang Xing and Feng Xi led 3,000 Han troops to block the retreat of the Jiangdong Army in the barracks, and were watching the battle in the barracks, when a Han soldier ran to their side quickly, hugged their fists and reported to them.
Hearing that another Jiangdong army was out of the city, Liang Xing said to Feng Xi: "General Annoyed will lead the soldiers and horses to cut off the enemy's retreat again, and lead the army to meet the enemy who comes out of the city!" ”
"General be careful!" They were not very far from Jiangxia City, and the Jiangdong army that came out of the city would be able to reach behind them in a short time, and Feng Xi did not hesitate to arch towards Liang Xing.
Turning around the war horse, Liang Xing shouted to the soldiers of the Han army: "Select a thousand soldiers and horses, and meet the enemy with this general!" ”
The Han army was well-trained, and Liang Xing just said hello, and a thousand Han soldiers followed behind him and killed Ling Tong who was out of the city.
The distance between the two sides was very close, and as soon as the soldiers turned around, they launched a charge towards the Jiangdong Army.
Seeing that a Han army came up, Ling Tong also brandished a big sword, roared, clamped his legs the horse's belly, and rushed over.
The two sides that charged each other were equal in number, and Ling Tong was a Jiangdong fierce general, and the Jiangdong army that rushed out of the city with him was a little more courageous, waving the blades in his hands, and letting out bursts of shouts to kill the Han army.
The two teams were not very far away from each other, but in a moment, Liang Xing and Ling Tong, who were riding war horses, had already passed by by the wrong horse.
The moment the war horse staggered by, Ling Tong burst out, and with a slash of the big knife in his hand, it swept towards Liang Xing's waist.
After all, Liang Xing was also the general of Xiliang who had followed Ma Chao, and the moment the big knife slashed to his waist, he put the handle of the knife upright, and used the handle of the knife to swing away the knife that Ling Tong had slashed with all his strength.
Although he swept away the knife, Liang Xing felt that Dao's arm was numb for a while, and the tiger's mouth was also faintly painful.
The two war horses staggered by, a little farther away from Ling Tong, Liang Xing glanced down at the tiger's mouth, and found that his tiger's mouth had broken with the fight just now, and a trace of blood was oozing out of the cracked tiger's mouth, sliding along the palm to the fingertips.
The Jiangdong army that had been killed was already very close, and Ling Tong also turned around his war horse at this time, and was about to rush back again.
didn't have time to think about the injured tiger's mouth, Liang Xing lifted the reins, also turned the war horse, burst into cheers, and killed Ling Tong.
Facing Liang Xing and killing him, Ling Tong's legs tightly clamped the belly of the war horse, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and when he was about to rush to Liang Xing's approach, he slashed the big knife down and shouted: "Get off the horse!" ”
The big knife slashed to the top of his head, and seeing that he was about to be hit, Liang Xing hurriedly raised the big knife in his hand to block it.
