Chapter 760 The Attack of the Darkness Under the Light

This is naturally because the two have cooperated for more than ten years, and everyone always believes in each other.

Seeing that Xu Huang agreed with a mouthful, Xu Shu also drank well, "That's the case, please ask the commander of the army to make some preparations, and after the truce at night, he will take 100,000 cavalry out of the east, west, and north gates, and then gather troops in one place and ambush at the designated place." By the way, in order not to attract the attention of the Xishu army, the number of people who go out of the city at one time should not be too much, and only 100,000 people need to be gathered before the main force of the first army arrives. ”

"Okay." Xu Huang listened to this suggestion and agreed to it in one bite. Although it is a bit dangerous to say this, he believes that Xu Shu will have a certain feasibility if he makes a plan.

One day after attacking the city, in the evening of the same day, Xu Huang really led the cavalry out of the three cities, and flashed the defense in the city to the deputy commander Cheng Yin, and the general Wei Yan. He arranged for another deputy legion commander, Niu Jin, to act with him.

Wei Yan was naturally aware of the fact that Xu Huang and Niu Jin left the city in the middle of the night, but he didn't say anything. This is a manifestation of cleverness, before he has been fully recognized by the Celestial Empire, all he has to do is to do more and talk.

Because the cavalry of the Fifth Army Corps went out of the city in batches, the number of people at one time was not very large, so it did not attract the attention of the scouts of the Western Shu Army, although they were also aware of it, and reported the matter to the general Hu Che'er. It's just that General Hu thinks that this is just the suspicious tactics of the Fifth Army Corps, and he is saying that a small number of men and horses going out of the city cannot pose any threat to his army.

To say that this is the disadvantage of backward intelligence. Hu Che'er just thought that his opponent was only the Fifth Army Corps in the city, and he really didn't know that the First Army was approaching Gong'an City. In addition, the Fifth Legion of the White Sun deliberately showed that he was invincible, which made him careless.

In order to ensure the smooth siege of the city, Liu Bei completely delegated power to Hu Che'er this time, which also allowed him to be in charge of the front line, which led to Liu Bei's lifelong regret.

In three days, Xu Huang completely implemented the strategy of the military advisor Xu Huang, transferred 100,000 cavalry in batches, and gathered them together, and ambushed Liu Bei's army ten miles away from the city gate. The Western Shu army, which was just in a hurry to attack the city, knew nothing about this.

On the morning of the fourth day, a regiment of reinforcements arrived at the city in time and entered through the north gate, which made the city that originally looked precarious to gain great strength.

It was at this time that Hu Che'er got the news that the First Army was supporting the Public Security City, and hurriedly reported to Liu Bei.

According to Hu Che'er's report, it was originally possible to capture the public security city in four or five days at most, Liu Bei was waiting for the time of the good news, and the arrival of a legion was like a bucket of cold water pouring him all over his body, making him know that the idea of storming the public security city was likely to be unrealizable.

It is said that if you can't capture the city, then you should retreat, at least find a city to settle down first, and ask for other ways. It's just that Liu Bei is really a little unwilling, more than ten days of siege, paying the price of more than 100,000 people, seeing that victory is just around the corner, no one will give up easily.

Liu Bei didn't want to give up, so naturally, the army did not retreat in time, but still stationed outside the public security city.

More than 700,000 troops were stationed together, and the military tents were drawn away one after another, which was very spectacular.

Such a formation can naturally play a role in defense and concentration, but at the same time, it is not a good thing to be too concentrated, at least if you attack with fire, then one may be burned by fire if you are not careful.

Knowing the shortcomings of this formation, Liu Bei also made arrangements, that is, to arrange for Hu Che'er to take 100,000 troops to guard alone on the road leading from Gong'an City to the camp, so that once the Celestial Empire army in the city moved, they could react as soon as possible.

It is precisely because of this arrangement that Liu Bei is not afraid, and even as soon as it gets dark, he enters the account early to rest. But what he didn't know was that he rested, Xu Huang did not, and he still left the city early, and prepared enough rockets to prepare for the night attack on the camp.

Xu Huang will lead the army to appear ten miles outside the big tent of the Xishu army without being discovered, which is the so-called darkness under the lamp.

No one would have thought that the army of the Celestial Empire would dare to divide its troops to prepare for stealing camps when the number of troops was inferior. It is precisely because of this that Xu Shu dares to have such a strategy, in his opinion, if he wants to destroy the Xishu army, it is obviously difficult to do it without a surprise move.

Liu Bei only knew that there were reinforcements from the Celestial Empire in the Public Security City, but he couldn't figure out how many people had come, but he knew one thing, as long as the problem of Guan Yu in Xicheng was not solved, the Celestial Empire would not send the main force to Nanjun. In this way, he still has some time to think about.

It is said that the best way for the enemy to come to reinforcements is to withdraw to Yizhou Chengdu, with the topography there and the foundation, and with so many large troops, there is no problem in defense. But Liu Bei really wanted to save Guan Yu too much, which made him hesitate, and the army fell into a dilemma.

Liu Bei went to bed very early, he guessed that if the army of the Celestial Empire came, there would be a big battle tomorrow, and at this moment, it was very important to recuperate. He saw this, and his generals also saw this, thinking that on the road from Gong'an City, there was General Hu Che'er with 100,000 troops blocking there, and they should be the safest place here.

The entire Xishu battalion of more than 700,000 fell into extreme silence at this moment, except for a few soldiers who were in charge of the night vigil, most of them were asleep.

And just when many people were falling asleep, and were even dreaming, thinking about how to kill the army of the Celestial Empire tomorrow, there was a sound of horses' hooves falling to the ground.

Although Xu Huang also made some preparations before rushing to the camp, such as tying thick cloths to the hooves of all the war horses, the formation of 100,000 cavalry was still too large, and it was completely impossible to think of it quietly. So that when they were still three miles away from the big tent, the rumbling sound of 0 horses' hooves stomping on the ground became louder and louder.

The sound of horses' hooves woke up some of the generals and soldiers who were sleeping.

The people who can awaken are basically veterans of a hundred battles, they have a strong sixth sense, and after opening their eyes and hesitating for a moment, they can be sure that a large number of war horses are approaching them. It's just a matter of wondering, who are the people? If so, where did they come from?

When everyone was still puzzled, the war horse was getting closer and closer, and when the distance was only more than three hundred steps, one torch after another was lit, and then one by one the arrows with thick cloth hanging on the bow and arrow shot quickly, aiming directly at the military camp tent in Xishu.

"Woooo

Under the rocket raid, many tents were set on fire and began to burn. At this moment, with the assistance of the night wind, the fire is getting bigger and bigger for a while. Under the fire, countless Western Shu soldiers were burned to death, burned, and mutilated.

A lot of times, history is strikingly similar.

Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou and was killed by Sun Quan, and when Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan rebelled, they swore that "they would not be born on the same day and month of the same year, but they would die on the same day and month of the same year." Liu Bei sent troops to attack Eastern Wu to avenge Guan Yu. Liu Bei led 800,000 troops to take revenge on Eastern Wu, which was broken by Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu, who burned the company camp for 800 miles. Liu Bei fled to the White Emperor City, summoned Zhuge Liang to the White Emperor City, entrusted Zhuge Liang to be alone, and died of illness in the White Emperor City.

In this life, Guan Yu was besieged in Xicheng, Liu Bei also led 800,000 troops to rescue, and Xu Shu took a loophole and came to burn the company camp, I have to say that people's lives are sometimes really destined, some things are destined to happen, no matter what, they can't escape.

The camp was burned, and the whole thing was in disarray. And at this moment, Xu Huang, the commander of the Fifth Army, began to charge with the 100,000 iron cavalry that had been prepared, and under the chaos, the Xishu army could not form any effective resistance at all, and there were countless dead and wounded for a while.

In the public security city of Nanjun, there are also large armies that go out of the city in the dark, and the target is directly aimed at Hu Che'er and his 100,000 army.

For the Celestial Empire to send troops to attack and steal the camp at night, Hu Che'er was somewhat prepared. After all, the place where he is is at the forefront is very vigilant.

For this reason, when he saw the Celestial Empire army appearing at night, Hu Che'er was not very nervous, and he did not think that the other party could break through the defense line of his 100,000 army, and even he was ready to fight back at any time.

It's just that the two sides have only just confronted each other, and behind them there is a huge fire that ignites the sky, and although it is night, the fire still shines very brightly in the distance.

"It seems to be the direction of the emperor's camp."

"How is it like, is it clearly there?"

"It's not good, the emperor's army has been burned, doesn't it mean that the reinforcements of the Celestial Empire have gone around our rear..."

"No, with us here to guard, who can bypass us? Could it be that Chengdu was broken? ”

All kinds of chattering voices rang out after the fire was lit in the distance.

As the voice of discussion became louder and louder, the faces of every Xishu soldier became ugly, if it was really as everyone guessed, it must be that Chengdu was broken, and that also indicated that Yizhou fell into the hands of the Celestial Empire, if so, they continued to stay here, and it was inevitable that they would be attacked from both sides, so what else could they do?

Soldiers fight bravely, that is because they don't know the outcome of victory or defeat, and in order to pursue the fruits of victory, everyone does it with their lives. But if you know in advance what the outcome will be, then what's the point of fighting?

Even if you are alive, no one wants to die.

Dying, many times, is a very helpless choice. It's not that they do it voluntarily, but that they can't change it.
