Chapter 121: Empty Camp Scheme

"My lord, the 300,000 lord coalition army in the south has approached 50 miles, and now they have set up camp and blocked the entire road in the south."

"What about the pursuers of the pseudo-Chu?"

"The puppet Chu sent out to leave and right the Shenwei army, and the cavalry troops in the vanguard have approached us, and there are only 10 miles left."

While Lin Yuan was sleeping, the army that was pursuing them did not stop, they were always on the road, and it was already very close at this time.

Lin Yuan got on the horse directly and greeted the soldiers.

"Let's go!"

The army set out again, galloping south.

After walking for about two hours, he was already extremely close to the encirclement.

At this time, the intersection leading to the south had all been blocked by the Xinyang Lord Alliance.

They set up camp at the junction, and not even a fly could fly over.

If you want to pass, you can only break through.

The road chosen by Lin Yuan was a small lord called the left bank in Xinyang, with a strength of about 10,000, mixed foot, camped at the mountain pass, and blocked the road to the south.

After Lin Yuan arrived, it was already late at night.

At this time, all the soldiers in the camp fell asleep, and Lin Yuan directly launched an attack.

The left bank heard the shouts of killing outside the camp, and was shocked, and hurriedly got up and went out of the tent.

"What's going on?"

"My lord, someone attacked the camp at night!" The personal guard replied.

Zuo An was shocked in his heart, and directly thought of Lin Yuan.

"Quick, go and get all the soldiers up, order the infantry to form a defensive formation, block the gate, and all the archers will climb the arrow tower of the wall, and shoot back the enemy with random arrows!"

"Yes!" If there is a small school, go to it immediately.

It's just that, after a while, the little school went and returned.

"Report! The gate has been broken, and the enemy is menacing, my lord, let's withdraw! ”

"What!" The Left Bank was horrified, and some were unbelievable.

"It is said that Lin Ziyi's cavalry is extremely strong, but it won't be broken so quickly, right?"

At this time, a fierce cavalry suddenly broke in outside the camp, holding pointed armor and killing anyone he saw.

For a while, the flames were everywhere, shouting and killing.

Especially the two leading generals, they are invincible, and everywhere they go, there are a lot of casualties.

"Lord, if you don't leave, it's too late!" The school was very anxious and a little afraid.

"Withdraw!" Left Bank nodded, and with the assistance of the Colonel, he rode his horse and fled to the south.

When the other soldiers saw the lord running away, they also fled, and their morale was directly defeated for a while.

And those soldiers who did not have time to escape threw down their weapons and chose to surrender.

It only took Lin Yuan half an hour to occupy this military camp, and he immediately ordered the army to rest here for half an hour and count the spoils of the prisoners.

This sneak attack directly knocked out the left bank and captured his barracks.

Of the 10,000 troops on the left bank, 2,000 were captured, 7,000 fled, and 1,000 were killed or wounded.

Lin Yuan only lost 12 riders and slightly injured 40 riders.

In addition to this captive, a batch of grain and grass equipment was hoarded in the entire military camp, and the war horses were heavy.

Lin Yuan selected 600 cavalry from 2,000 prisoners and filled them into the headquarters of the army, so that his team did not decrease but increased, and directly expanded to 2,500 cavalry.

These 600 cavalry are all third-order elite light cavalry.

With the addition of this group of cavalry, he has a better chance of breaking out of the coalition encirclement.

As for the other pawns, Lin Yuan released them on the spot.

In fact, there were 3,000 elite hussars on the left bank, but a large part of them fled, and when they fled in a panic, they even lost their horses.

The 3,000 war horses in the barracks all became Lin Yuan's trophies.

Every war horse is a stubborn northern military horse.

Lin Yuan directly allocated all the 3,000 military horses to the cavalry under his command.

During the night attack in Huangchuan City before, many cavalry lost their horses, and only one remained.

At this time, it was replenished again, and each person was equipped with two horses as standard, and he could run wild overnight again.

Even the 500 cavalry who had just taken refuge were the same.

Replenishing some dry food and water, Lin Yuan set a fire and burned the entire military camp directly, and the army set off again, heading south.

And after Lin Yuan left for half an hour, another iron cavalry chased from the north.

"Your Excellency, they've just been gone for half an hour!"

"Chase!"

It was actually the vanguard cavalry of the pseudo-Chu Shenwei Army, and they had already caught up so close.

Lin Yuan went all the way south, galloping across the vast plains.

"My lord, there's a tail in the back!" Takakura's group was paying close attention to the situation behind them, and when they noticed that the cavalry troops of the Shenwei Army were following behind, they immediately reported it.

"How many people?"

"About 3,000 people."

"Leave it alone, the army continues on its way."

Everyone was in the moonlight, and they continued to gallop forward.

After walking about 30 miles, the road ahead was again blocked by a camp.

This time, however, the camp was smaller, with only a few thousand people.

Lin Yuan unceremoniously launched an attack on this camp.

Because it was early in the morning, all the soldiers in the camp were still asleep.

Therefore, the army took the entire camp almost without bloodshed.

The general in the camp is a purple-gold general, who was captured alive in his sleep.

A total of 5,000 soldiers were captured, including 800 cavalry, all of whom were third-order elite light cavalry.

800 surrendered cavalry, all filled into the ranks of cavalry.

In this way, the cavalry brigade under Lin Yuan was directly expanded to 3,300 people.

"Whose subordinate are you?" Lin Yuan began to interrogate the captive commander.

This commander was captured alive in his sleep, and he was already scared into a cold sweat, where did he dare to hide it at this moment and report it truthfully.

"I'm the general of the dead!"

Lin Yuan thought about it carefully, and really couldn't think of this person.

The main thing is that Xinyang is in the melee stage, and there are still dozens of lords left, and none of them can unify the entire Xinyang.

Lin Yuan didn't know about this lord because of this.

He asked again: "Your lord, how many troops have been sent to intercept it this time?" ”

The commander replied, "There are three battalions in total, and in addition to that, the lord also carries 8,000 personal guards!" ”

Three battalions, plus 8,000 guards, that's 23,000 people.

It's almost the strength of a battalion.

These lords, for the sake of bounty tasks, are really bloody.

Anyway, he just took this opportunity to absorb all the elite troops in the hands of this group of people.

"Report, the vanguard cavalry of the Shenwei Army is less than 10 miles away from here, and it is expected to arrive outside the camp in half an hour." Takakura suddenly reported.

"Just in time!" Lin Yuan sneered.

This heel worm is so closely followed, it must be eradicated to prevent future troubles.

Lin Yuan thought about it and thought about it.

"Yuwen Chengdu, you immediately led 1,000 cavalry, ambushed in the east woods 2 miles outside the camp, extinguished the torches, heard the shouts of the camp to kill, and immediately led the team to rush out."

"Yes!" Yuwen Chengdu was ordered to leave.

"Zilong, you led 1,000 cavalry and ambushed in the west ravine 2 miles outside the camp, and when you heard the shouts of the camp, you immediately led the team to kill!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yun took the order and led the team to leave.
