Chapter 108: A plan within a plan

Until Huang Zhang's camp was repaired, Chagu did not move at all.

It seems that he did learn his lesson and knew not to act recklessly.

Everything was as Huang Zhang expected.

The barbarian general in front of him seemed to be different from other barbarians, he was overly cautious.

But being too cautious often reveals huge flaws.

The two camps were so close together that they could even be said to be face to face, and the barbarians could storm their camps without any scruples and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

But the barbarian didn't, and Huang Zhang didn't believe that the other party would be completely scared because of a small loss.

It's just the calm before the storm.

But knowing that the storm was coming, Huang Zhang was not afraid.

He had only guessed the character of the barbarian general on the other side before, but he was actually not sure in his heart, after all, the barbarians were different from them, and their personalities were somewhat different, so in addition to arranging Niu Zhantian to disguise, he also arranged a real ambush not far from Tianjiabao.

If the brute really pursues deeply at that time, he can also rely on this group of ambushes to temporarily defeat the opponent.

However, the result made Huang Zhang very satisfied, Niu Zhantian's feint did arouse Chagu's vigilance, and made Chagu retreat.

This also gave Huang Zhang a clearer and clearer understanding of Chagu's character.

"Your Highness, you asked me to lead the troops to ambush in the mountain col today, then why didn't you let me lead the troops and change the battalion commander of the cattle at the beginning, so that I can directly lead the troops to block the retreat of the barbarian army, and the results can be further improved!" Chu Liang asked puzzled

Today's battle is indeed exciting, Chu Liang also admitted that he used to underestimate the big prince in front of him, but he didn't expect that a small arrangement would really make them win the battle.

But if he led the troops in Niu Zhantian's position today, maybe he could beat this group of barbarians back to Wucheng in one fell swoop!

Hearing Chu Liang's words, Huang Zhang smiled.

"If I had arranged for you to be in the dense forest on both sides in advance, in case the other side sent spies to investigate, I would like to know how the troops of several thousand people would retreat from the ambush in the forest? Moreover, thousands of people are lying in ambush on both sides of the narrow official road, do you think those barbarians are blind or pretending not to see? ”

As soon as Huang Zhang's words came out, Chu Liang was dumbfounded.

Yes, he thinks from the perspective of a victor, thinking that what to do can increase the results of the battle, but he ignores the most basic conditions.

Moreover, as Huang Zhang said, if you want to expand the results of the battle, you have to send at least two or three thousand people to ambush to reap the harvest, but the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road don't seem to be able to accommodate two or three thousand people!

Niu Zhantian's four or five hundred people alone have already made the barbarians find out that something is wrong, two or three thousand people, how blind do they have to be to not see?

"I'm sorry Your Highness, it's the last general who owes it to consideration!"

Huang Zhang still appreciates Chu Liang's habit of changing when he knows his mistakes, but how can he, like Niu Zhantian, speak without using his brain?

"Forget it, go and give the order, tonight, the whole army will withdraw from the camp!"

Hearing this order, Chu Liang instinctively wanted to ask why, but after seeing Huang Zhang's expression, he immediately stopped thinking.

In the end, he simply said, "Yes!" ”

So he began to make arrangements.

He has slowly become accustomed to Huang Zhang's way of doing things, don't ask more questions in advance, just do it, anyway, the final result will tell him the answer.

In fact, Chu Liang's doubts are not limited to this, he wants to know where Niu Zhantian, who hid on both sides of the official road during the day, has gone now, and Liu Han Kou Xin, who was with them before, since he came out of Longhu Village, he has not seen Liu Han and Kou Xin.

It was Niu Zhantian's subordinate Zhu Tun, who had been delivering news by Huang Zhang's side, and seemed to be very busy.

Following Huang Zhang's order, Chu Liang withdrew from the camp with all the officers and men of the Northwest Army that night, and waited for orders about three miles outside the camp.

At about the third watch, Zhu Tun ran out of the camp, and after seeing Chu Liang, he didn't have time to rest, so he said directly:

"Quick, my lord has an order, I order you to quickly lead the soldiers of the Northwest Army to kill back!"

When Chu Liang heard this, he knew what was coming, gave his subordinates a look, and then asked Zhu Tun, "What happened to His Highness?" ”

I saw Zhu Tun panting and saying, "Barbarian...... Barbarian attack! My lord...... Your Excellency is retreating this way! ”

"What?" When Chu Liang heard this, he was taken aback.

Before Huang Zhang asked him to leave the camp with the Northwest Army, he thought that Huang Zhang had brought Liu Han's Cold Wind Camp in, but he didn't expect that Huang Zhang guessed that the barbarians would attack at night.

"Not good!" Chu Liang reacted immediately.

Huang Zhang has no troops around him, in case he is caught by the barbarians!

Chu Liang didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately rushed to Huang Zhang with the Northwest Army that had been prepared.

As soon as the troops set out, they saw that the camp they had originally built suddenly burst into flames, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night.

"Quick! Come with me to the rescue! Chu Liang shouted.

When he saw the fire in the camp, he was even more worried in his heart, in case Huang Zhang had three longs and two shorts, not to mention that he couldn't join the Northwest Army, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to keep his head.

Just when Chu Liang rushed to the camp with his troops, the scene in front of him directly stunned Chu Liang.

I saw Huang Zhang sitting calmly in front of the burning camp, and there were a bunch of corpses of barbarians scattered not far from him, and Niu Zhantian was taking the soldiers of the Shanzi battalion to set fire back and forth on the side of the camp.

Needless to say, you know that this fire was set by Huang Zhang.

Beside Huang Zhang, there are still Shunu and Zhuang Chengfeng, two people, a man and a woman, like a door god, protecting Huang Zhang's safety.

Zhuang Chengfeng on the side didn't know where to tear off a rag and was wiping the sword in his hand.

And inside the camp, it was the screaming barbarian vanguard army that was burned by the fire.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Chu Liang walked up to Huang Zhang and asked.

Huang Zhang glanced at him, "Is it time for you to care about me?" ”

Chu Liang immediately understood when he heard this, he drew his sword and pointed at the burning camp.

"Brothers, kill with me!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

With Chu Liang taking the lead, the morale of the soldiers of the Northwest Army was greatly boosted, and they went to the camp to kill one after another.

Huang Zhang looked at Niu Zhantian, who was still setting fire to him, and he was angry.

"Is this thing blind? Don't see your own people coming? Still setting fires? ”

When the girl heard this, she understood and immediately ran over to bring Niu Zhantian over.

As soon as he saw Huang Zhang, Niu Zhantian couldn't help but be excited, and it could be seen that he was happy tonight.

"Boss, you call me?"

"What about the casualties of the Yamaji Battalion?" Huang Zhang asked.

As soon as he heard this, Niu Zhantian's originally happy face fell silent.

"More than 100 brothers died, but they didn't have time to run, and they were caught up by the barbarians."

There are few people in the Shanzi Battalion, and it is distressing to die a cow every day, not to mention that the loss tonight is so big.

But compared to tonight's harvest, he thinks it's worth it!

Niu Zhantian sent the soldiers of the Shanzi battalion to ambush inside and outside the camp in accordance with Huang Zhang's requirements, and as soon as the barbarians entered the camp, they began to set fire to it.

Most of those who died were set on fire in the camp and failed to escape from the barbarians.

"I'm giving you a great credit this time!" Huang Zhang said.

The reason why Chu Liang and his Northwest Army were called away was because he was afraid that the barbarian vanguard army would find that there was no one in the camp, which would lead to the failure of his fire attack.

Now that the two camps were so close together, he burned his own camp, and the barbarians could not escape.
