Chapter 400: Attacking the camp overnight

Three thousand infantry pursued and killed one hundred thousand cavalry, unseen and unheard of. Li Wei, who had retreated to the camp, was already holding back his sullen breath, but now when he heard a report from the rear that the 3,000 men of the Jin army were chasing and killing, Li Wei's anger suddenly rose to his head, and he roared angrily: "The gold thief has deceived me too much! Someone is coming, pass on my military order, and the whole army will meet the ......."

Before his words fell, Liu Qi hurriedly stepped forward, waved his hand again and again, and said, "General, general!"

"What?" Li Wei glared at Liu Qi angrily.

Liu Qi said: "Ding Feng, the commander of the Plains Army, has always been cunning, when he attacked the water, he designed an ambush for the Bailin army, and now he only sent 3,000 people to chase and kill my 100,000 army, which must be deceitful, the general must not be careless!"

After listening to Liu Qi's advice, Li Wei immediately calmed down, thought about it carefully, and felt that what Liu Qi said was reasonable, and Jin Jun's actions were too unreasonable, and there might really be a mystery hidden in it. He pondered for a moment, waved his hand in distraught, and said, "Continue to retreat, don't pay attention to the thousands of pursuers of the Jin Kingdom!"

The infantry couldn't outrun the cavalry, not to mention that this was still the fastest Huwei army in the Red Country? When all the Huwei troops retreated back to the barracks, the Jin army led by Ling Wuya and Shao Lin did not catch up with a single person, seeing that the gate of the enemy camp had been closed, and the archers were already in full array, Ling Wuya and Shao Lin ordered to stop chasing the enemy, and the whole army withdrew to their own camp.

Let's say that Ling Wuya and Shao Lin returned to the Jin camp and saw Ding Feng, and the former immediately asked, "Why did General Ding order the two of us to chase down the enemy with only three thousand brothers?"

Ding Feng smiled and said slowly: "I want Li Wei to think that our army is an arrogant soldier." ”

"Oh?"

"I've heard of Li Weiqi, and this person seems to be calm. He has the style of a general, but in fact, he is arrogant, thinking that the Huwei army can sweep the world, invincible, and invincible. This time, he suffered a big loss at the hands of General Shao, and he was bound to be dissatisfied in his heart, and he must seek revenge and be ashamed. ”

"What does this have to do with making Li Wei a proud soldier of our army?"

"Since it is an arrogant soldier, he will not take the Huwei army in his eyes, and there must be negligence in the precautions at night. If our army celebrates tonight. I think. With Li Wei's character, it will definitely come late at night!"

Ling Wuya and Shao Lin first took a breath, and then, their eyes lit up, and they said, "General Ding means that our army deliberately led the Tiger Wei Army to attack. It's good to set up an ambush in the camp?"

Ding Feng nodded. He shook his head again. said: "It's right to lead the Huwei army to attack, but our army does not set up an ambush, just let the Huwei army fight to their heart's content." ”

Let the enemy attack the camp. Ling Wuya and Shao Lin really couldn't understand what was going on in Xiao Muqing's head.

On the other side, the Huwei army camp.

Soon after Li Wei returned to the Chinese military tent, the spies reported that the pursuing Jin army had withdrawn, and no Jin ambush soldiers were found around the camp, and the main force of the Jin army was huddled in the Jin camp.

Hearing the report, Li Wei secretly stomped his feet, it seems that the Jin army's pursuit was carried away by victory, not pretending to be mysterious, and there were other schemes, he was too cautious and missed the opportunity to kill Shao Lin.

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world, and Li Wei is unwilling to be annoyed again, and now it's too late. He sat in the tent of the Chinese army, his face sinking like water, silent. The other red generals and counselors also drooped their heads, not daring to breathe.

Today's battle was too hot, not to mention the loss of five generals in a row, but not even a single hair of the Jin army was not injured, the morale of the whole army fell to the extreme, and what is even more hateful is that the 100,000 cavalry of their own side were frightened by the 3,000 infantry of the Jin State and fled back to the camp.

"Smack!"

Without warning, Li Weimeng slapped the table. The generals on the left and right were frightened, and they all raised their heads and looked at him with shocked faces.

"The gold thief is arrogant, has no one in his eyes, and thinks that he is lucky to win our army, so he does not take our army seriously. If the commander is not mistaken, the Jin camp will definitely be negligent in guarding against it tonight, and our army can steal the camp at night!"

When the generals heard this, their spirits were all lifted, and the people looked at each other, and then said in unison: "What the general wants to arrange, just give orders!"

Seeing that all the generals had not lost their confidence in the battle, Li Wei felt a little relieved, he nodded with a smile, and said: "I have carefully observed the camp of the Jin army, it is loose and messy, and it is not suitable for a large number of cavalry to rush and kill, steal the camp tonight, this commander plans to send a brave general, lead more than 10,000 cavalry to attack the Jin camp, kill the enemy as the second, burn its grain and grass first, I don't know which general is willing to take on this important task?"

Li Wei's tactics also have his reasons, as he said, the layout of the first army camp is disorderly, and it can even be said to be chaotic, there is a barracks in the east and a camp tent in the west, there is almost no decent open space, and a large number of cavalry entered, and it could not be used at all. In addition, the Jin army is fighting deep in the red realm, and the logistics supply is unfavorable, as long as its grain and grass are destroyed, the Jin army can only choose to retreat without a fight, and as soon as the Jin army withdraws, the Huwei army can take the opportunity to chase and kill, and can wipe out all the Jin army in one fell swoop.

However, the generals gasped one after another, and only led 10,000 people to attack the gold camp, which is too risky, and it is very likely that there will be no return!

"Why? Listed as generals don't dare to fight?"

"General, isn't it too ...... to only take 10,000 horsemen?"

"If you are not sure, how can Ben Shuai send you to die?!" Li Wei said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Kuo, the commander of the First Corps of the Huwei Army, stepped out of the ranks and said loudly: "General, the last general is willing to lead the brothers of the First Corps to steal the camp!"

Zhou Kuo is a veteran in the Huwei Army, one is that he is older, and secondly, he has been in the Huwei Army for a long time, he joined the Huwei Army at the age of sixteen, and now he is fifty years away, and he has been in the Huwei Army for almost forty years, and his qualifications are much deeper than Li Wei.

Seeing Zhou Kuo's invitation to fight, Li Wei seemed a little hesitant, although he swore that he would succeed in stealing the camp tonight, but the risk was still very great, and sending a respected veteran like Zhou Kuo out, once there were three longs and two shorts, it would cause another heavy blow to the morale of the whole army, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Seeing that Li Wei had not spoken for a long time, Zhou Kuo's old face was slightly red, he took a step forward, and asked in a shocking voice: "Does the general think that the last general is old and unable to go into battle?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, waved his hand to Zhou Kuo again and again, leaned forward at the same time, and said with a smile: "Old general, don't misunderstand, this marshal has no such intentions......" Speaking of this, he paused, pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Okay! Tonight's sneak attack on the Jin camp will be handed over to the old general Zhou, but before stealing the camp, the marshal has to observe carefully, and the old general needs to wait for my general to act." ”

"The last general will obey!" Zhou Kuo intervened to receive the order, and his voice was so loud that it shook people's eardrums.

That night, as Li Wei expected, the Jin army camp began to celebrate the victory of the first battle during the day, and the laughter and laughter of the soldiers and the sound of fighting and laughter could be heard far away outside the camp.

After the Huwei army spies found out the situation of the Jin army's camp, they immediately reported it to Li Wei.

Li Wei was overjoyed, and laughed secretly in his heart, this time, the Jin army will have to pay the price for his arrogance! He no longer hesitated, summoned Zhou Kuo, told him to prepare, left the camp on the third watch, made a detour to the back of the Jin camp, and waited until the fourth watch, launched a sneak attack from behind the Jin camp, and the target was the grain and grass of the Jin army, burning all the grain and grass as much as possible.

Zhou Kuo nodded again and again, and then ordered to leave.

The celebration of the Jin army continued until late at night, and when the celebration was over, the Jin camp fell into silence, and there were occasional flashes of light in the camp, and it could be seen that it was sporadic Jin troops patrolling.

According to Li Wei's general order, Zhou Kuo left the camp on time with the first corps of the Huwei Army on the third watch, and quietly detoured behind the Jin camp under the cover of night.

Zhou Kuo is an experienced veteran, and when he slipped quietly from the side of the Jin Ying, he specially instructed his subordinates to rank grass, horses, pick copper bells, wrap horseshoe, and silence the whole army.

Under his leadership, the First Corps of the Huwei Army passed through the side of the Jin Army camp quietly and quickly like a ghost corps.

After going around to the back of the Jin camp, Zhou Kuo immediately sent spies to find out if there was any movement in the Jin camp, and he himself led the whole army to hide in a hidden place.

Soon, the spies reported that Jin Ying was still calm and unalert.

Zhou Kuo sighed when he heard this, and the general really expected things like a god, and calculated that the Jin Ying was negligent in taking precautions, and he had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Maybe even God helped the Tiger Army, this night, the clouds were thick, the night wind was howling, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, but it didn't rain, which was just right for the cavalry to sneak attack and launch a fire attack.

Zhou Kuo suppressed the excitement in his heart and ordered the whole army to temporarily dismount and rest, and wait until the fourth watch, when the whole army stole the camp. (To be continued......)
