"Zhang Xun!" Yin Ziqi, who woke up from his dream, gritted his teeth and shouted, Recently, he has been defeated one after another, and the army's heart is unstable, he finally calmed down the soldiers, and he woke up with the sound of drums after sleeping for a while, and he was extremely angry.

"General, the drums at the head of Suiyang City are loud, and the Tang army has put down hundreds of black-clothed people, how should our army respond?" A sentry scrambled into the camp to report.
"If the Tang army steals the camp, why should it beat the drum?" Yin Ziqi was overworked today, and he didn't bother to think about it for a while, so he ordered, "Don't worry about it, continue to rest, but there are people in the army who run around and shout will not be spared." ”
"Yes!" The soldier hurriedly left the herald, and the situation outside seemed to be the same as Yin Ziqi had imagined, but when he heard the drums, he didn't see the Tang army attacking, and the drums sounded one after another, and the soldiers of these rebels had already adapted to it, and they were still sleeping.
The drums sounded three times, but the Tang army still did not attack, and slowly those sentry spies also yawned, ignoring the affairs of Suiyang City, presumably it won't be long before they should put away those scarecrows, right?
Seeing that the enemy camp had regained its panic and entered silence, Li You under the city wall waved his hand, and three hundred Beiwei soldiers with bows and arrows on their backs quietly touched the rebel camp, until they were only a stone's throw away from the camp, and those sentry detectives still did not find it.
"Light the torch and get ready to release the arrows." Li You shouted in a low voice, and the Beiwei army was immediately divided into groups of ten people and gathered around the captain, the captain took out the torch and lit it, and then the soldiers put rockets on the torch and led it.
The sudden light of the fire attracted the attention of the sentinels, but before they could open their mouths to warn, more than 300 rockets fell into the camp of the rebels, landed on the tents and haystacks, and immediately ignited a raging fire.
Rockets fell like raindrops, flames continued to rise from the rebel camp, the big drum at the head of Suiyang City once again made a huge roar, and thousands of soldiers stood on the top of the city and let out bursts of shouts and killings, which instantly disrupted the silence of the night.
"Enemy attack! The Don Army stole the camp! The sentinel on the watchtower let out a heart-rending cry and hurriedly sounded the signal for the enemy to steal the camp, and 100,000 rebels woke up from their sleep.
The sound of drums just a few times made it difficult for these soldiers to fall asleep, and now they finally fell asleep, many soldiers thought that the Tang army was bluffing again, they closed their eyes and muttered, turned over and covered their ears, and planned to continue sleeping, until the fire falling from the tent burned them, and then they reacted and jumped up.
What catches your eye is the burning tents and the soldiers running around like headless flies, is it really the Tang army stealing the camp? The soldiers who woke up hurriedly didn't have time to think about it before they let out a heart-rending cry, "The Tang army has stolen the camp, run for your life." After saying that, he didn't care about putting on his armor and holding a sword, so he hurriedly fled outside the camp.
After shooting the rocket they were carrying, Li You and Beiwei Jun shouted in unison, "General Yin is dead, let's run for our lives, the Tang army has caught up." ”
These shouts made the rebel camp more and more chaotic, countless soldiers ran around in the dark night, for fear that they would be caught up and killed by the Tang army if they ran slowly, some anxious people simply drew their sabers, regardless of the slashing towards the soldiers who were blocking in front of them, without seeing a single Tang sergeant, these people began to kill each other.
"It's not good, it's a bombing camp." Yin Ziqi, who hurriedly walked out of the big tent, shouted in his heart again and again, but now that the camp is in such a mess, he can't clean it up for a while.
However, Yin Ziqi is a long-term veteran after all, and he knows that the most important thing at this time is to appease the army, so he hurriedly took his soldiers to the highest watchtower, ordered someone to illuminate his face with torches, and asked them to shout loudly, "General Yin is here, you should panic when you wait." ”
The surrounding soldiers saw that Yin Ziqi was intact, and they didn't seem to see the Tang army coming to sneak attack, so they came back to their senses a little.
"The generals of the various ministries are optimistic about your soldiers, put out the fire by themselves, and are not allowed to run around." Yin Ziqi kept issuing orders upstairs, and sent a team of cronies to hold torches to flick around.
It's a pity that it's far away after all, otherwise if Yin Ziqi can be shot to death, the rebel riots will be even more serious, Li You looked at Yin Ziqi in the distance regretfully; If he now has a thousand cavalry in his hands who dare to fight, then he will not hesitate to enter the enemy camp and kill Yin Ziqi by taking advantage of the chaos, but unfortunately he only has three hundred people now, and the physical strength of these backstabbing troops has not yet recovered, and it may be okay to release arrows in the distance, but it will be a little powerless to enter the camp and kill the enemy.
"Let's go, it's time to go back." Li You had to regretfully issue an order to retreat, three hundred black-clothed Beiwei soldiers returned to Suiyang City under the cover of night, Zhang Xun hurriedly ordered the defenders to open the city gate and put them into the city.
"Lord Zhongcheng, that Yin Ziqi deserves to be a veteran of a long war, the last general failed to complete this time, and I hope that Lord Zhongcheng will forgive his sins." Entering the city, Li You arched his hand and said to Zhang Xun.
"Haha, don't be modest, Nanba is not modest, in today's battle, at least thousands of thieves died in the chaos. We didn't have a single casualty, this is a great achievement, what is the crime of Nanba? Although Zhang Xun also had some regrets in his heart, he was kind to Li You, he knew that it was already the limit of the Suiyang Army to make such a big move with this little force.
After encouraging these soldiers, Zhang Xun asked them to go back to the camp with Li You to rest, while he still stood at the head of the city and watched the chaos of the rebels from a distance, continuing to think about how to deal with the next battle.
The chaos in Yin Ziqi's camp lasted until the sun rose to calm down, and the losses reported by the generals made Yin Ziqi very angry, more than thirty percent of the tents were burned, tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass were destroyed in the fire, cattle, sheep and horses fled countless times, and what was even more odious was that thousands of soldiers died from trampling, cannibalism,
"Cut down all those who took the lead in running around!" Yin Ziqi angrily pulled out his long sword and slashed at the several cases in front of him, thinking that Zhang Xun's drumming a few days ago was just to borrow arrows from them, but he didn't expect it to cover up today's attack, but he didn't see the Tang Army when he heard the sound of drums for several days, which made him careless, but he didn't expect that today's Tang Army came with a thunderous blow, which made them suffer extremely heavy losses.
He was about to attack the city again with his whole army, but when he thought of the defeat he had suffered for several days in a row, the chaos promised last night, and the fact that these generals in front of him were all depressed and had no intention of fighting, he could only sigh and wave his hand, "The armies must not fight today, stay in the camp and clean up the mess." ”
So the defenders in Suiyang City ushered in a rare leisure time without enemy attacks, and Li You woke up and found Zhang Xun on the city wall, and he still had a lot of questions to ask him. (To be continued.) )
