Everyone swept around with Sun Ning's words, and they understood the truth in their hearts.

Indeed, although the army only arrived in Hezhou after half a month's trek, under the encouragement and inspiration of His Majesty the Emperor, the soldiers were all thirsty for battle, only worried that the enemy would not appear, how could they be afraid to fight because they were a little tired?

In fact, this march was more like the last tempering for the entire camp.

It's like a steel knife, after the casting is completed, the final opening is done, just waiting for the blood to be seen today.

With one heart and one mind, just to kill the enemy, how can there be any reason to be afraid of the enemy going out of the city?

Sun Ning smiled hesitantly: "And one last point, if they kill at this time, the location is in my hands, I am just afraid that they will not come." ”

Yes, with the passage of time, the camp has become more and more complete, and the soldiers can hold it firmly from whichever direction the enemy attacks, and then push back.

"What Your Majesty said is that the ministers are too worried." Chen Qingyun said with admiration, His Majesty the Emperor has also read the art of war of his predecessors a lot these days, and he has obviously made great progress.

Others also echoed their statements, obviously agreeing with Sun Ning's statement, and their hearts were even more settled.

It was Sun Ning, who looked at the obviously deserted Hezhou City at this time: "It's a pity, the barbarians are also very cautious, and they refuse to go out of the city to fight." It seems that we have to think of another idea and force them out. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and ordered: "The whole army will stay guarded at night, don't let the barbarians come to sneak attack!" ”

"Obey the order!" Chen Qingyun and Xiao Keding responded at the same time, this matter is the responsibility of the two of them, and they dare not slack off in the slightest.

When it was dark and naïve, the camp of the Vietnamese army was also completed, campfires were lit everywhere, tents were erected, and more curling cooking smoke rose into the air under the operation of the fire head army.

Everything looked the same as when the army camped in Hezhou all the way before, only the soldiers and horses stationed around the camp were more than twice as many as on the road, and a pair of eyes looked around vigilantly to prevent the enemy from sneaking in.

And when the time came to the second watch, the camp was completely quiet, except for a few teams of night patrol soldiers and horses kept moving, there was no one else who went out.

Sun Ning hadn't slept yet, and was carefully looking at a huge map hanging in his big tent, which was the Hezhou defense map.

Although this was painted a few years ago when Hezhou was still in the hands of the imperial court, it is very different now, but the geographical situation and the city wall situation can still be seen in the end.

"Hey, it's a good Sichuan Shu Jian City, but now it's like this......" Sun Ning suddenly sighed and said.

Xiao Qian, who was in the same room with him, walked around a little uncomfortably, not because she was going to sleep in the same tent with Sun Ning tonight - they all came here like this all the way, but they were used to their own etiquette and had long been used to it, but because they didn't drink alcohol.

There has long been a strict ban on alcohol in the Great Vietnamese Army, so naturally she can't break the rules, and even the wine gourd that has never left her body has not been brought out this time.

It's just that this makes Xiao Qian feel quite uncomfortable, especially after calming down at night, she feels even more restless, which is not a taste.

"What, you want to drink again?" Seeing that she didn't reply, Sun Ning asked with concern.

"It's really uncomfortable, but patience is over." Xiao Qian smiled at him, "You can't break the rules because of me, right?" ”

"Thank you. Don't worry, when you take Hezhou, I'll let you have a good drink. Sun Ning hurriedly encouraged.

"When will that be?"

"It won't be too long, the barbarians won't defend the city, as long as they are led to battle in the next few days, once they are defeated, it will be easy to take the city."

"They really won't defend the city, and they still toss Hezhou like this......" Xiao Qian also calmed down a little at this time, and sighed, "Come to think of it, I also came here back then, Hezhou at that time was not dilapidated, the city wall was high, and the population was large......"

Just when she recalled what a prosperous scene Hezhou was at the beginning, a whining horn suddenly sounded outside, and immediately a personal guard quickly rushed to the front of the tent: "Your Majesty, there is an enemy coming!" ”

Sun Ning was stunned, and then he was not surprised: "It's good, I'm just worried that they won't come." Ordered to go out of the camp and meet the battle! ”

Saying that, he had taken the lead in taking the knife and walking out of the tent quickly, Xiao Qian also took the long sword after pursing his mouth, followed closely behind, and quickly followed.

At this time, on the side of the camp facing the direction of Hezhou City, the arrows that had been whizzing were constantly being sent out by the Vietnamese army, so that this group of barbarians could only retreat and dodge, and at the same time screamed.

Xiong Zhan waved the axe in his hand to block all the arrows, and he was not angry in his heart.

Because he didn't agree with Heigu's statement, he picked up a few good friends and led more than 1,000 warriors to rob the camp at night and make great contributions.

Fortunately, before they got close to the Vietnamese military camp, they were discovered, and without saying a word, they had already released arrows to block their way, and they also blew the horn, which alarmed the entire military camp at once.

But even so, Xiong Zhan and the many warriors behind him had no intention of retreating, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to go back like this, and they felt that they still had a chance.

"Where's the shieldman? Shields come forward! ”

With Xiong Zhan's roar, dozens of clansmen equipped with round shields rushed forward and blocked everyone.

Under the cover of these shields, the threat of arrows to them was greatly weakened, and they also regrouped, shouted again, and rushed straight up, vowing to break through the gates of the Vietnamese army in one breath.

But before they could go far, the shieldmen in front of them let out a series of exclamations, and then turned into screams, and suddenly the men disappeared.

It turned out that on the way they were advancing, there was a ditch more than one man deep and a few feet wide, and there were antler barbs planted underneath.

If it were daytime, this line of defense would not have been able to cause any damage to any enemy, but at night it was dark, and the shield-bearer stepped forward with all his strength, only caring about blocking the arrows that came like raindrops, and did not pay attention to his feet, so tragedy happened......

What's even more tragic is that some people in front of them found out what the problem was and quickly stopped, but the soldiers behind didn't know what was going on, and they were still rushing forward, and they still lined up and relied on the front shield hand to defend.

In this way, being pushed and pushed by the people behind, those shield hands were almost pushed into the deep ditch by their own people, and a miserable scream sounded.

Then, the warriors behind them had to face a rain of arrows, and naturally there was another burst of damage, and finally they couldn't resist it, and they retreated in a hurry.

This defeat of hundreds of men and horses was lost without even touching the edge of the Vietnamese army's camp, even the Vietnamese army itself did not expect it, and after a few breaths of slowness, someone shouted: "The enemy has retreated, follow me out of the camp and kill them all!" ”
