At night, in the camp of the Taishan Army, all the generals gathered in the middle tent, closed their eyes and recuperated.

Suddenly, Meng Fu, who was the governor of the Feijun and foreign armies, walked in and bowed to Zhang Chong, who was the leader.

Zhang Chong, who received the signal, stood up suddenly, didn't say much, and said to the generals:

"Action!"

The Taishan generals who have been in the army for a long time have long been accustomed to this kind of vigorous and resolute action, and they don't talk much, so they go straight out of the tent and go back to the camp.

There, the ministries were already ready to go.

In the crowd, Zhao Yun glanced up at the distance, where there was already a fire and a hustle and bustle. At this moment his admiration for the king reached its peak.

He glanced back at the king in the tabernacle, and then turned back firmly, he was going to be the first assault, ready to attack.

When many generals left, only Cai Qu and other generals were in the military tent.

At this time, Cai was very strange, so he asked Zhang Chong, who was sitting upright:

"Your Majesty, how did you know that the enemy army was going to be in chaos tonight?"

At this time, Zhang Chong was drinking water, and it was quite strange to hear Cai Cheng ask:

"Ah Qo, this is rare, I have never seen you ask about military strategy in the past. Why do you ask this today? ”

Cai was indeed quite embarrassed by this, his old face turned red, and he replied honestly:

"Let's see that Damu can fight a good battle, and we Cai really don't want to be weaker!"

Zhang Chong sneered, looking at this chubby Cai Cheng and saying something that is not weaker than others, and he felt inexplicably happy.

He shook his head, still explaining for him:

"It's not hard to judge. In fact, I ordered the whole army to sit back and prepare for it tonight. One is to deal with the enemy's chaos, and the other is to deal with a possible night attack by the enemy. ”

Cai really doesn't understand:

"Night raid? Will the enemy still attack at night? ”

Zhang Chong shook his head and said with a smile:

"Yes, but apparently the enemy didn't take advantage of this opportunity."

He pointed to Tian Jun on the side and said:

"Ah Jun, you tell Ah Qo how you planned this battle."

Tian Jun was wearing clothes and armor, and after hearing Zhang Chong's words, he hurriedly waved his hand:

"The last general doesn't dare to be greedy for this merit, I just did a little insignificant thing, and the overall situation is the king's calculation."

Then Tian Jun explained some of the beginnings and ends to Cai Qu.

Originally from Tian Jun's garrison in Dusuoyuan, he began to arrange some actions, among which he paid special attention to the local tyrants and villagers.

These people did not have much armament, but there was one thing that neither the Taishan army nor the Kansai army could match, and that was their understanding of the local geography.

Tian Jun always remembered what Zhang Chong once said:

"There is no road in the world, and the road is made by people."

And since these local villagers are backed by mountains and forests, they will definitely steal trees, so Tian Jun judged that these people must know these woodcutters.

At first, these villagers were hesitant, and they still talked about him left and right, and they didn't want to talk about these roads. After all, one of them is a crime, and the other is their way to make money, and they will never tell it to outsiders.

But after Tian Jun made a wish, these people did not hesitate to clarify the location of these Qiao Dao.

Of course, these passages could not be marched, but they were enough to send a small number of elites to the front line of the Bird Mouse Road to threaten the rear of the enemy army.

There is one thing that Tian Jun said is not wrong, that is, the overall planning is really arranged by Zhang Chong.

When Zhang Chong arrived at Tian Jun's camp with the assault cavalry of the Six Guards, after listening to Tian Jun's report in detail, he immediately decided to change his tactics.

Originally, Zhang Chong was ready to lead all the assault cavalry to directly storm the Western Army, but now Zhang Chong realized that there were better fighters.

Previously, he ordered Guo Tai to return to Baibo Valley and specially explained one thing, that is, to cooperate with the main force southward to attack and harass the possible enemy logistics.

Therefore, Zhang Chong immediately ordered Guo Zu to take his own handwritten letter and go to Guo Tai through these Qiao roads.

And Guo Tai has long paid attention to this war, and has been cruising around the periphery to find an opportunity to start. So when Guo Zu found him, Guo Tai immediately selected 800 elites and attacked Yong'an, an important logistics town of the Kwantan Army.

The whole operation was very swift.

On the morning of November 7, Guo Zu, whom Guo Tai had just met, had already gathered the old troops at noon, selected the elite, and attacked Yong'an that night.

Then Guo Zu turned back again and brought back the exact news for Zhang Chong.

Therefore, Zhang Chong learned the news of the burning of Yong'an grain earlier than the Kansai army on the opposite side.

Then, the Kwantan army on the opposite side really retreated, and at this time Zhang Chong still did not let the armies counterattack, because he knew that the real chaos was still in the rear.

And this time, when Tian Jun finished speaking, Zhang Chong took over and told Cai Qu:

"Do you know why I knew they were going to be in turmoil? Because I know that this so-called elite Kansai Army is actually vulnerable. ”

"The enemy's 50,000 elites are actually like a three-layer central circle. The innermost core is Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou and Hedong Army, the middle is the Xiyuan Army from Yongliang, and the outside is the Yizhou and Bingzhou battalion leaders who fought with our army before. ”

Zhang Chong asked Cai Qu a sentence:

"I asked, if you are an official of the Yizhou and Bingzhou armies, you will be driven forward in every battle, and the battle achievements will not fall on your head. The more the brothers in your hands fight, the less you fight, will you be willing? ”

Of course Cai did not, and even he scolded:

"If anyone dares to do this to themselves, we have to fight him first."

This sentence made Tian Jun and Yu Ban look at Cai Qu more, but they didn't speak.

After all, who made the two of them constant commanders? Hearing this, I felt a little uncomfortable.

But Zhang Chong didn't care, and nodded:

"Yes, we have blood, how can people in Yizhou and Merge State not have blood? And you don't look at the Lu Bu on the other side, you can't stand this anger. ”

The people present did not speak, but they wondered why the king wanted to mention Lu Bu.

Could it be that if Lu Bu is here, will he definitely be opposed?

At this time, Zhang Chong continued:

"For example, in peacetime, the Liangzhou military system can still control the situation, but now once the armies know that their food is cut off, they will not be able to break through our army's barrier during the day. In this case, who still has the heart to fight. ”

Yu Ban, who had been silent at this time, also sighed, and he said:

"And more importantly, none of the generals in Guanliangzhou can afford the overall situation, they are all a group of mediocre talents who are planning for their own purposes. In this case, Hugh said that everyone is united in the outside world, and it is already rare that he does not run first. ”

Tian Jun also added:

"And what's worse about that? That is, we all know what virtue the Liangzhou generals are. What are the benefits and what will not be known? Even if this time the Liangzhou Army really wants to go first for the sake of the overall situation, as long as this suspicion is there, all the armies will go first, and no one will be willing to be someone else's substitute for the dead. And Ah Qo, you know that with the terrain of the Bird Mouse Valley, there is a long snake, and whoever can walk in front will be safer. So you know why they collapsed tonight! ”

Cai did understand, and at this time he asked Zhang Chong again:

"I see, but why did you just say that you were preparing for a night attack by the enemy?"

Zhang Chong smiled, and he and all the generals present explained:

"In fact, the enemy army is not invincible. It's true that the other party is not aligned, but it's also true that the combat power is strong. Judging from the battalion leaders who participated in the battle during the day, the combat strength of this enemy army was the strongest one that our army encountered in the south. Therefore, if the enemy army can attack at night today, we will fight a chaotic battle. After all, the number of our army is small, and I dare not guarantee the final result. ”

"But judging from the current situation, the Hu Zhen on the other side must have chosen the worst outcome, and he probably chose to fight tomorrow, so it caused this disaster."

There were still only Cai Cheng who didn't understand, and he was not ashamed, so he really asked:

"Your Majesty, I think it's good to fight tomorrow. When fighting during the day, all armies can also command it, and they are more certain. ”

Zhang Chong laughed, and secretly said that Cai was indeed a straightforward martial artist, and fortunately he was in the Taishan Army, otherwise he would have been sold.

He has the heart to teach Cai Qu, so let's talk about it in detail:

"There are a thousand things that are good for fighting during the day, but a little alone is never feasible. That's long nights and dreams. ”

"Ah Qo, you have just told you about the suspicions within the enemy army, then you should understand. As the commander-in-chief of the whole army, Hu Zhen could never let the generals return to the camp. What do you think the armies will think if there is a one-night delay? If you have long harbored resentment, you will not participate in tomorrow's bloody battle at all, and you will inevitably leave the camp. And those who were hesitant in the past will be worried, why will Hu Zhen fight tomorrow instead of tonight? Could it be that these Liangzhou troops are already planning to secretly pull out the camp themselves in the middle of the night? Therefore, Hu Zhen's only chance was to launch a general offensive immediately, so that all armies could be thrown into the battlefield, and there would be no chance to regret it. ”

At this time, Cai did finally understand, and he also knew that the so-called military struggle had so many ideas.

And just as everyone was discussing, in the front, the Taishan army that came out of the camp to attack also began to fight.

……

There were about 4,000 people in the Taishan army in this attack, all of whom were elites.

To fight a night battle, it is not by numbers, but by the elite.

At this time, Ma Chao led his five hundred horsemen to the east side of the battlefield, and was advancing rapidly towards the southwest with a high-speed movement.

After Ma Chao made meritorious service on the battlefield in Liaodong, he accumulated merit and became the newly adapted right guard and left general of the Flying Tiger Army, with 500 cavalry.

This position is already a middle-level general in the Taishan Army, but Ma Chao is not satisfied, after all, he wants to be a hero of the Four Expeditions.

At this moment, his old mistake was repeated, and he was not willing to accept the plan originally assigned to him to defeat the enemy's front camp, but planned to directly copy the enemy's Chinese army's big tent.

So, with 500 horsemen, he spared the enemy stragglers scattered along the way, and inserted them almost in a straight line.

At this time, the road was full of broken skirmishers, and they ran towards the south in a hurry, without thinking in the slightest whether the narrow finch road had given them a way out.

This is the blind obedience of people in the group, and there is no reason at all.

But this is convenient for Ma Chao and them. At this moment, he had already encountered two waves of enemy troops that were still in formation, but none of these people wanted to stop Ma Chao, and even when Ma Chao showed that he didn't care about them, he decisively let go of the passage to the southwest.

And when Ma Chao and the others continued to move forward along the passage, they looked back and saw that the two battalion leaders chose to break through to the south almost at the same time.

In this case, Ma Chao had a clearer understanding of the chaos and sluggishness of the enemy army, and also had a greater grasp of capturing Hu Zhen.

……

At this time, in the large camp of the Chinese army, Hu Zhen was hurriedly dispatching the battalions of the Chinese army to arrange a new defense line.

Originally, Hu Zhen's Chinese army was deployed on the southwest side of the battlefield, and on its periphery were 20,000 troops from the Yongzhou military system and 15,000 troops from the Yizhou and Bingzhou military lines.

However, as the Yi and Yong military systems took the lead in going south, the northern defense of Hu Zhen's camp was completely opened at this time, and it was directly exposed to the soldiers of the Taishan army.

This is also the reason why Hu Zhen wanted to urge Lu Bu to pull the camp here, because he needed to use Lu Bu to defend his north.

But what about now? Lu Bu Lu Bu couldn't see it, and even Fan Chou, who was his own person, was coerced to the south.

Therefore, Hu Zhen, who has already had the will to die, completely let go and want to fight here against the water.

As a Kansai warrior on the same level as Dong Zhuo, his ability is by no means weak, but the development of the current situation and the tide of history pushed him to a situation that he couldn't deal with, and finally harmed the three armies.

Not long after he dispatched the battalions on his side, the Taishan army killed them.

The first to kill Hu Zhen here was Xi Shen, the leader of the Left Guard of the Flying Leopard Army, whose troops were just north of Hu Zhen, and they were the first to kill.

When Zhang Chong reorganized and expanded the 10th battalion of cavalry into 24 guards, it was inevitable that the original regiments and gangs of the various armies would be dismantled.

Among them, the Langdang samurai in the past were dismantled into various armies, and they were no longer in the climate.

Originally, Xi Shen thought that Zhang Chong was suspicious of him, and he inevitably panicked for a while, but after finding out that all armies were like this, he was safe.

But in the end, his heart was a little empty, so in many wars since then, he often fought on the front line and made many achievements. His characteristic garlic hair was admired and imitated by many people in the army, and he thought it was fashionable.

At this time, he took a thousand people with his department, and he had already seen Hu Zhen's camp.

But it is very strange, unlike the collapse and scattering of the camps seen along the road, the camp that Xi Shen saw at this moment was brightly lit, and the camp was godless.

Xi was cautious and cautious, and hurriedly suppressed the speed of his horse, and finally the whole army stopped in front of the battalion, not daring to attack rashly.

At this time, his song general Zhao Gui ran over and asked about the situation.

Xi Shen's eyes rolled, and he ordered Zhao Gui:

"The enemy camp is silent, I'm afraid that there is something mysterious, you lead your subordinates to fight on foot and open the way for the whole army."

Zhao Gui is a northerner, is the army of Taiwu in the first year, has been fighting under Xu Huang, and before that, he broke into Longcheng with Xu Huang, fought in Longshan, and made special contributions.

This Geng Jiejun general listened to the military order and immediately received the order.

Soon, Zhao Gui, who was covered in three layers of armor, dismounted with five hundred knights under his command, all of whom could cut down the enemy's deer with axes and halberds.

Xi Shen lined up outside the trench with the remaining five hundred knights in case the enemy suddenly left the camp.

Zhao Gui jumped off the trench immediately, and then began to chop the deer under the trench with a big axe. The officials behind followed suit, and quickly emptied the first layer of trenches.

And when they crossed the trench and jumped into the trench under the camp, Zhao Gui suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, and his hand wiped the ground, which was full of oil.

Zhao Gui's soul was furious, screaming and shouting:

"Retreat, retreat!"

At this time, a column of archers appeared on the wall of the enemy's army, they lit braziers, made fire arrows, and then opened their bows and arrows, and shot at the trench below.

So, in front of Xi Shen's eyes, a row of fire suddenly appeared in front of him, and the sea wailed incessantly, like hell on earth.
