Chapter 418: Raiding the camp in the middle of the night

"I shouldn't have died, but I was in a different place with a thought! Bury them alive! Staring at the corpses of the Black Mountain Army in front of him, Liu Wei frowned slightly, waved his hand behind him, and gave an order to the several Luoyang soldiers who followed him very compassionately, and then turned around and walked towards Puzi City.

The remnants of the Montenegrin army have been cleared, and there are no more hidden dangers near Puzi. The thousands of Black Mountain soldiers who have recently joined the main force of the Luoyang Army are now also equipped with the armor and blades of the Luoyang Army, although they are still a little unfamiliar with the tactics of the Luoyang Army, but they are also able to pull onto the battlefield and fight the enemy.

"The army was prepared in the city for ten days, and the soldiers who had just joined the army were to be trained. After ten days, our army sent troops to Jizhou! About to walk to the gate of the city, Liu Wei instructed Pang Tong, who was following him: "The military division will arrange it, and General Lu will still be the vanguard when the troops are dispatched this time!" ”

Lu Bu, who was one or two steps behind Pang Tong, heard Liu argue that he wanted him to be a pioneer. With a sudden joy in his heart, he hurriedly stepped forward, half-knelt in front of Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian with his fists: "Your Highness, but there is a drive, and the general will obey." ”

Nodding to Lu Bu, Liu Wei was about to continue walking, but Lu Bu looked up at him and continued: "It's just that the last general has a reluctant request, and I hope His Highness will allow it." ”

Although Lu Bu hadn't said what he was asking for, Liu Wei already knew what he wanted to say. Stopping, Liu Wei's eyelids narrowed slightly, and after a slight groan, he raised his hand towards Lu Buxu and said to him: "The general's matter, there is no need to say much for the time being, and when he returns to Luoyang in the future, this king will have his own decision." ”

After exterminating the remnants of the Montenegrin army hiding in the mountains, Lu Bu was counting on taking advantage of the situation to mention to Liu Wei that he wanted to expand his troops and horses. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao was not stingy with his reward, but he just wanted to mention the key, but he was blocked by Liu Bian's words to him, and he didn't even give him a chance to speak.

Half-kneeling on the ground, turning his head to look at the back of Liu Bi leaving, Lu Bu showed a trace of loneliness on his face.

"Strategist!" Ignoring Lu Bu, who was still half-kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei said to Pang Tong as he walked towards the city: "Immediately order someone to rush to Luoyang, and dispatch 20,000 cavalry to come in the starry night." Although Jizhou also has mountains, there are more battles in Pingchuan. Cavalry is stronger than infantry in the wilderness. Be sure to inform Xu Shu that the cavalry must rush to Puzi within ten days. ”

"No!" Pang Tong replied and beckoned behind him.

A soldier quickly ran forward, clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, and followed Pang Tong slowly in the direction of the city gate.

"You immediately go to Luoyang to convey His Highness's edict and ask Xu Junshi to transfer 20,000 elite cavalry to Puzi." While following Liu Wei into the city gate, Pang Tongyi said to the soldier who was walking with his fists in his fist: "Be sure to inform Xu Junshi that together with the time of your return, the cavalry must arrive in Puzi within ten days. The military situation is urgent, don't delay, go quickly! ”

"No!" When the order was given, the soldier answered, turned and ran out of the city as fast as he could, and despite the darkness of the night, he found a war horse, mounted it, and galloped towards the south.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and it is noisy at this time in the city of Shiguo, far away from Puzi.

The people in the city learned that the Jizhou army was leaving, and they were afraid that after the city was broken, they would be harmed by the Montenegrin army, so they left their homes one after another, begging the Yuan brothers to take them away from the country.

The people dragged their children and daughters, and the situation was extremely miserable.

But after all, there are hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops outside the city, if it is just the Jizhou army out of the city, those soldiers who can't see at night can still be taken care of by their peers. Among the people, there are even more people suffering from night blindness, and women, children, and children, once frightened, will make undeserved sounds, and with them, they may fall short.

The streets of the city were full of people involved in the country. Many people looked up at the walls, but in the darkness their eyes saw nothing.

"General Zhao ......" Standing on the city wall, looking at the people in the city, Yuan Xi tentatively asked Zhao Yun: "The general thinks, can you take them?" ”

Looking at the people in the city standing on the street with an expressionless face, Zhao Yun slowly shook his head, and after a long time, he said to Yuan Xi: "The army withdraws, once the Black Mountain army enters the city, the people will be killed." But if you take them with you, I'm afraid ......"

"What does the general mean...... Don't bring? Yuan Shang, who was standing on the other side of Zhao Yun, didn't wait for Zhao Yun to finish speaking, and said: "Although I can't bear it, the general is also worried!" Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things, how can they stick to small sections? Conquering the world, since many people will die, we just have to leave, it is important to protect the soldiers who can fight, why do we care if they live or die? ”

"Don't say that!" As soon as Yuan Shang's words came out, Yuan Xi immediately objected and said to him: "The country is under the rule of Jizhou, and the people have suffered harm, which is also caused by our incompetence. Even if you can't take them away today, you should find a reason to leave a way for them to live! ”

After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Yuan Xi turned his face and said to a Jizhou soldier on the side: "Immediately send an order to burn down all the houses of the people in the city, and find some healthy people, so that they can be beaten violently, but don't hurt their lives." ”

After getting Yuan Xi's order, the Jizhou soldiers were stunned for a moment, but they didn't dare to ask more, they responded with their fists in a clenched fist, and quickly ran down the city wall.

After a while, there was chaos in the city, many people's houses were set on fire by the Jizhou army, and some young and middle-aged people were also dragged by the soldiers and beaten indiscriminately, and the city was filled with people's cries and scolding.

Looking at the more and more flames in the city, Yuan Xi took a deep breath, and there was a look of relief on his face.

Zhao Yun and Yuan Shang, who were standing beside him, did not speak, and they already knew what Yuan Xi was thinking in his heart when Yuan Xi gave the order to the soldier. For today's plan, I am afraid that this is the only way to save the people of the city, and ensure that the Jizhou army retreats without being affected by the people.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and when he saw Zi, Zhao Yun nodded to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang on the side.

Seeing Zhao Yun nodding, Yuan Shang turned around and waved his hand at the soldiers of the Jizhou Army on the city wall.

Some Jizhou soldiers, who could see normally at night and had already prepared by the pyre stacked on the city wall, saw Yuan Shang's gesture and hurriedly took out the fire fold and lit the pyre.

The flames jumped and rose under the blowing of the night wind, although when the pyre burned, there were also bursts of black smoke, but under the thick night, the color of the black smoke has merged with the night, and from a distance looking at the city wall, you can only see the flickering fire.

In the Luoyang Army barracks, which was hundreds of steps away from the main formation of the Black Mountain Army, a Yu Linwei saw the lights of the fires on the head of the city of Sheguo, and he didn't dare to slow down a little, so he hurriedly ran towards Guan Hai and Yu Xuan, who were waiting in the Chinese army.

Because of the agreement with Zhao Yun, Guan Hai and Yu Poison did not rest after camping, but sat in the middle army, asked the soldiers to bring them a jar of old wine, and drank the wine slowly while waiting for Zhao Yun's signal.

The two of them who were born in the yellow scarf have a bandit in their bones. In the past, they were accustomed to eating large pieces of meat and drinking a lot of wine, and it was really more uncomfortable for them to drink such an old wine for a whole night than not drinking it.

But the enemy was in front, and the two didn't dare to slack off a little, so they had to endure their grievances and pass the time with this jar of water and wine.

"Two generals!" Seeing the fire at the head of the city, Yu Linwei ran to the two of them, clasped his fists and bowed to the two and said, "General Zhao has already launched a signal. ”

Hearing that Yu Lin Wei said that Zhao Yun sent a signal, Guan Hai and Yu Yu stood up almost at the same time, looking up at the city wall in the distance.

The flames on the city walls were not very dazzling against the backdrop of the fires burning in the city. But from a distance, you can still distinguish clearly.

Seeing the dancing flames, Guan Hai Dalu said with a smile: "The birds that have been waiting are almost stiff, if General Zhao doesn't send a signal again, he plans to kill the enemy army first, so that he can have a good time." ”

"All the armies are on horseback!" Compared with Guan Hai's impetuousness, Yu Poison was much calmer, looking at the flames on the city wall in the distance, he shook his arm and shouted to all Yu Linwei: "Follow the two of us into the Black Mountain Army, and we will have a big killing ring tonight!" ”

Although Yu Poison's shout was loud, he was only a voice made by one person after all, and although Yu Linwei nearby could hear it clearly, the Black Mountain Army in the distance was unaware.

When the five thousand Yulin guards received the order to fight, they immediately jumped on their horses, holding broadswords in their hands, and removed the round shields they were carrying behind them. One by one, they turned their heads to look at Yu Poison and Guan Hai, and just waited for them to give an order, and then rode their horses and rushed towards the enemy formation.

The two jumped on the war horse, Yu Poison took off the double axe from behind him, raised his right hand, pointed at the Black Mountain Army with the axe, and shouted "kill" loudly. The first to rush towards the Montenegrin military camp.

With Yu Poison's order, five thousand Yulin guards shouted in unison, and followed the two of them like a torrent to ride their horses towards the Black Mountain Army.

Although it had been on guard against the Luoyang Army for a long time, until midnight, there was no movement in the Luoyang Army, and the Montenegrin Army's defense was much more slack.

In the heavy night, there was a sudden shouting and killing, and the Black Mountain Army, which had already rested, was suddenly in a hurry. Many archers, who could see at night, under the command of the generals, ran to the west side of the barracks.

The Montenegrin army was not very slow to react, but unfortunately they were not facing an army dominated by infantry, but a highly mobile and all-armed hoplite cavalry.

Before the archers of the Montenegrin Army lined up in formation, Guan Hai and Yu Poison had already led 5,000 Yulinwei to rush into the camp of the Montenegrin Army.

Thousands of horses rode into the camp of the Black Mountain Army, and with the screams and the dull sound of the collision of heavy objects, the Black Mountain Army was knocked to the ground by Yu Linwei's war horses.

Many of the unlucky Montenegrin troops were even trampled under the hooves of horses. Heavy horses' hooves trampled on them, causing them to burst their stomachs and brains.

In the shouting and killing of the Luoyang army, one after another sword light slashed, one by one the Black Mountain Army was chopped to the ground, just one rushed to kill, and the Black Mountain Army that fell under the hooves and swords of the Luoyang Army was already at least one or two thousand people.

"Please let the two little generals lead the army out of the city with the last general!" Outside the city, the Black Mountain military camp was already in chaos, and on the city wall, Zhao Yun turned his head to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang on the side and said: "The opportunity is fleeting, I hope the two of you don't delay!" ”
