Chapter Eighty-Six: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Midnight hours (around midnight)
Xia Houying and Fan Xu, the second generals, led 10,000 cavalry on both sides of the barracks gate, as if waiting for the arrival of the Qin army...
The nearly 1,000 cavalry lost in the Qin cavalry's surprise attack just now were also quickly replenished from the infantry, and the troops had been waiting on their horses for more than an hour, yawning again and again, sleepy and tired
All the horsemen felt that the Qin army would not come again tonight, suddenly!
"Boom...."
A hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded, and through the night it entered the large army camp, awakening the drowsy cavalry
Fan Xu: "Here, all the troops listen to the order!" Wait for the Qin army to enter the camp, and immediately block the camp gate! Annihilate the Qin army! ”
The sound of horses' hooves outside the camp was getting closer and closer, but this time the Qin army did not rush directly into the camp
Just when Xia Houying and Fan Hao were confused
"Boom Blah ........"
Countless arrows shot into Liu Bang's military camp with firelight, and the simple wooden fence was ignited by rockets in the sky, and many unlucky knights were hit by rockets
After a while, the fire in the barracks was soaring, and the fire faintly had a tendency to burn to the barracks!
The screams among the cavalry continued, and one by one the soldiers who had been hit by arrows fell off their horses, rolled on the ground like burning men, and lost their lives in a short time
It happened so fast, Xia Houying and the second general Fan Xu were shocked, they couldn't imagine that he Qin Jun would come like this?
Fan Hao was furious! yelled: "Six thousand horsemen follow me out of the ranks!" This time, we must not let Qin Jun run away again! Xia Houying, you lead the rest of the people to guard the camp and put out the fire! ”
Xia Houying hurriedly stepped forward: "Fan Xu! Without my order, you must not pursue the Qin army! ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Fan Xu, but even the lieutenants and knights around him felt incredible
It's not just shit on the head, it's a naked contempt for our army... If this continues, the morale of the army will drop to the freezing point, and even if there are more cavalry, it will be difficult to be the opponent of the Qin army
Fan Xu's face changed, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! I don't bother with your cowards. ”
"Soldiers, the Qin army took advantage of the night to attack our camp, can you swallow this breath? Today, even if I Fan Xu single-handedly, I will destroy this Qin cavalry! ”
"If you still have blood in you, follow me out of the camp to pursue the Qin army! I don't force you. ”
After saying that, Fan Hao turned his head to look at Xia Houying with murderous intent, snorted, and walked out of the camp alone with a whip
Xia Houying was in a hurry: "General Fan, come back quickly!" ”
"Alas! ...”
At this time, the lieutenants who had a good relationship with Fan Xu were all anxious, and when they saw that Fan Xu was about to leave the camp, they seemed to have made up some determination in their hearts
One of the generals arched his hand and said: "General Xia Hou, what General Fan said is true, the last general is going to follow General Fan!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the chain reaction was general, and several lieutenants explained to Xia Houying their intention to follow
The strange thing is that although Xia Houying's face is not very good-looking, she does not refuse: "Okay, you are all good." Lead 6,000 horsemen out of the camp and follow General Fan to pursue the Qin army! ”
"However, you must remember not to chase the enemy too deeply, so as not to fall into the trap of the other party. DID YOU KNOW? ”
All the generals were overjoyed, and they all arched their hands and said, "Yes, general!" ”
"Well, let's go quickly. Thorough protection! ”
The generals did not delay any longer, and the six thousand cavalry rumbled out of the camp
Xia Houying shook her head helplessly, now that the situation on the battlefield was getting more and more out of her control, she felt a strong uneasy emotion in her heart
shouted at the remaining nearly 4,000 horsemen: "All the troops listen to the order!" Put out the fire with me! ”
"Whoa!"
...
At this time, Fan Hao stood single-handedly in front of the Qin army with a blue-faced broadsword of more than two meters
After the three thousand Qin riders appeared, they stopped the bow and crossbow in their hands. Lighting the torch, I vaguely saw a tall man with a beard and a beard all over his face riding on a tall horse approaching the Qin army
Ying Jingyu, who was in front at this time, also probably saw the other party's appearance clearly, and said in surprise: "What courage!" ”
Li Nian, the deputy general next to him, said: "Son, according to the detailed report, this person is Fan Xu, the general under Liu Bang." Brave in battle, but lacking in resourcefulness, I never imagined that I would have the courage to go to the meeting alone..."
Ying Jingyu nodded: "Fan Xu... Yes, if there are more such generals in our army, why would they be defeated by Xiang Yu? ”
As they spoke, the Qin army heard the sound of the hooves of thousands of horses galloping in the enemy camp
Jing Yu's eyes narrowed: "It's still here." ”
Li Nian and Zheng Chan were on both sides of Jingyu, and they were overjoyed at the same time: "Congratulations to Gongzi, the enemy army is scheming!" ”
Jing Yu shouted and turned his horse's head: "All the troops listen to the order, and after the enemy army leaves the camp, follow me to the Bashui River!" ”
"Whoa!"
Fan Hao glanced back at the dense red-armored knights rushing towards him, his heart warmed, and he muttered: "Hmph, Xia Houying, this kid, you also want to fight." It's always mother-in-law's. ”
"General Fan!"
"Meet General Fan!"
"General Fan!"
......
After the arrival of the leading riders, they were all relieved to see that Fan Hao was fine
Fan Hao didn't talk nonsense, and pointed at the Qin army opposite with a wave of his long knife: "It's good to come, eat this Qin army with me tonight, and strengthen my army!" Can you have faith? ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes! ....”
"Good!"
Fan Hao took the lead, holding a long knife in his right hand, and rushed towards Ying Jingyu's direction at great speed
All the Qin cavalry looked at the enemy army who was still a little bloody and brave in such a situation, and they were all stunned
Ying Jingyu shouted: "Retreat!" ”
The Qin army did not dare to delay, and turned their horses' heads and headed towards the direction of the Dongfang Bahe...
...
When the two cavalry armies had completely disappeared outside the tent of the large military camp, Xiahou Ying's army finally breathed a sigh of relief
Being harassed three times in a row day and night, although the loss is not large, but this is the most demoralizing. The army was afraid that it would collapse before dawn
Xia Houying looked up at the extinguished open flame and sighed inwardly. Is it really that simple for the enemy to come and go without a trace?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a shout from afar
"Newspaper... General, the main infantry of the Qin army has rushed to the outside of our large army camp and is rapidly advancing here! ”
Xia Houying was shocked: "What? Why did you come to report now, and how many people came? ”
The scout knelt on one knee: "It's about 30,000, the specific number is unknown, and the cavalry is small." Because many of the scouts sent were killed by the Qin army scouts, the news of the arrival of the Qin army was delayed. ”
After all, Xia Houying is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, but calmed down: "Hurry up and inform the cavalry and the infantry army." Gear up for battle! ”
"Yes, General!"
Xia Houying silently calculated the purpose of the Qin army according to the report of the scout just now: "Even if the main force of the Qin army's infantry is pouring out, it will only be more than 30,000 people. ”
"And there are 4,000 cavalry and nearly 20,000 infantry in my battalion, the main general of the Qin army should know, do you still want to eat the main force of our army?"
Xia Houying was puzzled, but the soldiers were coming, and now he could only fight with the Qin army
