The moonlight was like water this night, and under the dense jungle, there was a sound of rustling from time to time. There was a gentle slope to the west of this Gucheng Mountain, and the Wu army was worried that the Vietnamese army would break through, so they stationed some soldiers and horses in the gentle slope area.

Xu Gan led 3,000 Vietnamese troops to sneak along this gentle slope by moonlight. These soldiers were not very silent, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they all raised the torches in their hands, shouted all the way, and rushed towards the Chinese army of Wu's army.

The Wu army in the west is the camp of the Chinese army of Wu Wangfucha, most of the sergeants have gone to bed, and when the Vietnamese army shouts to break through the siege, the Wu army intercepts and kills the vanguard of the Vietnamese army in the night patrol and sentry, and then the whole army beats the drum and rises up.

Because the Wu army often guarded against the Vietnamese army breaking through at night, and some troops participated in night defense patrols at night, the Vietnamese army was blocked from breaking through the siege in an open place west of Gucheng Mountain.

The Vietnamese troops on the mountain charged down one after another, shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the torches raised reflected the red half of the night sky in the west. Many sergeants of the Vietnamese army beat drums without stopping, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Fucha had already been awakened by the sound of drums, and knew that there was an enemy situation in Ludao, so he ordered the whole army to resist the enemy according to the plan formulated on weekdays. He also sent sentry horses to the left and right two battalions to communicate the news, and ordered the generals of the Chinese army, Wang Sunluo, Wang Sunxiong, Ji Guang, etc., to listen to the orders of the Chinese army.

In less than a moment, the generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army in Fucha. Fu Cha informed the generals of the enemy's situation: "The Vietnamese army general Xu Gan led the army to rob the camp, because it was at night, it was difficult to find out the specific strength of the enemy army. According to the situation, it is estimated that there are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, but it is not known whether their intention is to rob the camp or break out. ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "The Vietnamese army chooses to fight at night, so that we don't know the truth, whether he robs the camp or breaks through, our army can shoot with a strong bow and a crossbow, and the Vietnamese army will retreat." ”

Wang Sunxiong said: "I don't know what the strength of the Vietnamese army is now. If the Vietnamese army is desperate, break through at night. Our Chinese army stands alone. If it is escaped by the Vietnamese army, won't it be a missed opportunity? Can the king transfer troops from the left and right battalions to help? ”

Fucha groaned: "Now the situation is unclear, if you rashly mobilize the left and right two battalions, once the enemy army strikes east and west, won't you fall for the treacherous plan of the Vietnamese army?" The widow has sent sentry horses to the left and right two battalions to inquire about the news. If the second battalion does not move, it is not too late to transfer troops. ”

So the husband ordered to be on guard, and arranged strong bows and crossbows in the dark to surround the impact of the Vietnamese army. He also ordered the general Ji Guang in front of the car to go to the right battalion of the Xiangguo soldiers to inform the news and ask the soldiers for advice on how to deal with the enemy.

Let's talk about the left battalion. Not long after Bo Yao closed his eyes, he was woken up by the attendants: "Dazai-sama! There are reports from Tanmalay, saying that the Vietnamese army is breaking through at night from the west of Gucheng Mountain, and the momentum is very strong. ”

Bo Yao knew that the west was guarded by the Chinese army led by Wu Wangfucha, and if the Vietnamese army used a little force, the trapped beast would still fight. I don't know if the Chinese army can resist it?

Bo Yao was worried that King Wu would lose, so he asked the guards: "Can we find a Vietnamese army breaking through to the south?" ”

The guard returned: "Your Excellency. We found no trace of the Vietnamese army in the south. ”

Bo Yao pondered for a moment. Discussed with the adjutant general Ziman: "The Vietnamese army wants to break through from the west, but we have not found any trace of the Vietnamese army here. I want to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to the west to help the king defend, what does the general think? ”

Ziman said: "Since the Vietnamese army has broken through from the west, the adults can lead the army to help, and the young generals will be stationed in the big camp." ”

So Bo Yao ordered: "Our army will divide half of its strength to the garrison of the Chinese army to help the king assist in the defense." Don't let the Vietnamese army get away with it! ”

Bo Ya personally led 5,000 elite soldiers from the left battalion to the west at night to assist Fucha, leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses for the deputy general Zi to guard the camp. In less than an hour, Bo Yao led his army to arrive. Because it was night, Fu Cha did not know how many soldiers and horses of the Vietnamese army rushed to break through. Seeing that Bo Yao came to help defend, he felt a little relieved.

Fucha asked, "Didn't you find any traces of the Vietnamese army at Dazai's left camp?" ”

"This is natural. Seeing that there were no Vietnamese troops in the left camp, the minister was worried that the Vietnamese army would be strong, so he personally came to help the king. ”

The husband almost nodded, looking at the fire-lit position, the two armies fought together, and the scene was very tragic.

Bo Yao asked: "King, did the Vietnamese army rob the camp at night or do they want to break through and leave?" ”

Fu Cha said: "It seems that the Yue army wants to break through at night, but they have not found the shadow of King Yue." ”

At this time, General Ji Guang returned from the right camp of the soldiers and said to his husband: "After Xiangguo learned the news that the Vietnamese army broke through at night, he asked the minister to tell the king: The Vietnamese army is lonely and cannot afford to carry out a large-scale decisive battle. As long as the three camps are strictly guarded, the Vietnamese army will be powerless! No matter what the Vietnamese army moves, our army will brake quietly, so as not to fall into his plan to attack the east and the west. ”

The husband did not answer. At this time, in the firelight, a Yue general held a spear in his hand, dancing like a fly, and his body was as agile as a snake, intercepting and killing all the way in the Wu army's array. This person was Xu Gan, the former vanguard of the Vietnamese army who was ordered to feign a breakthrough from the west. After Linggufu died in battle, Xu Gan was appointed by Gou Jian as the vanguard general of the former army to replace Linggufu.

Wu Jun surrounded him like a tide and dispersed, and then surrounded him again, but he couldn't. Seeing this, the husband was furious, drove forward, and about dozens of steps away from the general, set up a long feather arrow, and shot it with a bow.

I saw that one of them stumbled and almost fell headlong. Xu Gan's surroundings are like a forest, where can he be a little negligent? Suddenly, Xu Gan already had more than ten holes in his body, and the blood flowed like an infusion, and he went limp.

Although the main general of the Vietnamese army was killed in battle, the Vietnamese army behind still rushed forward, shouting and killing and drumming endlessly. Seeing that the Vietnamese army was so tenacious, the husband ordered the archers to prepare strong bows and crossbows, and stepped forward to surround the Vietnamese army within range, and after a rain of arrows, nearly half of the Vietnamese soldiers died; But the two armies were fighting, and there were not a few Wu troops who injured themselves.

Fu Cha was watching the archers strangled the remnants of the Vietnamese army with Bo Ya, when a quick horse reported: "Dazai-sama is not good!" A Vietnamese army broke through from the left battalion in the south, and the 5,000 men and horses of our left battalion were trying to encircle and intercept it. General Ziman, please come back quickly! ”

Seeing this, the husband wondered: "Could it be that there are also Vietnamese troops breaking through in the south?" Why do you come to report now? ”

The sentry horse returned: "The Vietnamese army has just launched an attack, and the villain ran over as soon as he got the news, and it is only half an hour now." ”

Fu Cha urgently ordered Bo Yao to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to return first, and asked the Chinese army to transfer some troops and horses to the side of Zuo Daying to help encircle and suppress the Vietnamese army in the south. Then the husband returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and waited for the news of the battle between the left and right two battalions and the Vietnamese army.

It is said that King Goujian of Yue ordered Xu Gan to lead the way with 3,000 soldiers and horses to attract the main force of the Wu army. He personally led an army of 5,000 to lurk in the woods at the foot of the mountain in the south, and when Xu Gan was fighting with King Wu's Chinese army in the west, he sent a secret post to report that Bo Yao of the left battalion of the Wu army in the south was leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the camp of the Wu army's Chinese army to help King Wu assist in defense.

Gou Jian saw that Bo Yao was in the middle of the plan, and the left camp of the Wu army was empty, so he shouted, and the main force of the 5,000 Vietnamese army came out clamoringly.

Seeing the suddenness of the Vietnamese army, the deputy general of the Wu army, had no choice but to respond to the enemy in a hurry. The Vietnamese army was condescending, and the trapped beast was out of the cage, and the soldiers saw that there was a day to get out, and they were all like wolves and tigers. Gou Jian let the death squad rush to the front, it was really like a flood bursting the embankment, pouring thousands of miles, where could the Wu army stop it?

However, it was said that Bo Yao led the 5,000 soldiers and horses he had just come to assist in the defense and hurried back to the left camp, and he heard a shout of killing from a distance. Bo Yao was really anxious, and thought to himself: "Could it be that I really fell for the Vietnamese army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" ”

When Bo Yao led the army back to the left camp, the deputy general Ziman was cleaning up the battlefield, and when he saw the main general, he said with annoyance: "The Vietnamese army has just led the army to break through and leave, and the small generals have few soldiers and cannot be intercepted. The young general was incompetent and let the Vietnamese army escape. ”

"Then the breakthrough of the Yue army can find traces of the king of Yue?" Bo Ya asked worriedly.

Ziman said: "Fighting at night, I can't see the flag of the Vietnamese army clearly, and the young general doesn't know that there is a king of Yue in the Vietnamese army." ”

For such a careful arrangement by the Vietnamese army, it must be a diversion of the tiger from the mountain. Now it can be seen that the Yue general Xu Gan, who first led the army to break through from the west, was a feint, and the one who really wanted to break through was definitely Goujian, the king of Yue, who broke through from his left camp. Bo Yao thought that the king of Yue must have escaped, so he sent a sentinel to report the husband.

Early in the morning of the second day, the Wu army cleaned up the battlefield, and the Vietnamese army that broke through in the west had about 3,000 soldiers and horses. The lives of these 3,000 soldiers and horses were exchanged for the king of Yue to break through the siege, get out of Gucheng Mountain, and travel all the way, fleeing back to the capital.

King Wu was furious when he learned that King Goujian of Yue had used a plan to attack the east and the west. He strictly ordered the two battalions on the left and right to begin to storm the mountain.

The Yue general Fan Li only had thousands of soldiers and horses left in his hands, and when he saw the king of Yue breaking through and leaving, he shrank the troops in his hands to the first line of the main peak and held on to the danger; On the one hand, he sent elite soldiers to secretly descend from the cliff on the east side of Gucheng Mountain, and reported to Goujian, the king of Yue, who fled back to Huiji.
