The night was already deep, and the Han army, who had attacked the city for a day during the day, dragged their tired bodies to sleep in the cool barracks, and the tents were filled with the sound of contented snoring and snoring.

Shen Chen personally inspected the battalions, and in order to let the soldiers sleep more peacefully, he had already ordered the guards of the battalions to be as light as possible and not make too much noise.

The soldiers in the camp of the main general of the Han army slept in the middle camp, and the front camp was a fortified area, and the soldiers who kept vigil were basically on the periphery.

When Shen Chen inspected the middle camp and arrived at the outer camp to see the city wall of Gaodu County in the distance, several fast horses came in a hurry, and the galloping footsteps were very loud, he glared at them from a distance, waved his right hand down, and signaled them to be quieter.

The scouts stopped their horses, and instead of continuing into the middle camp, they simply turned over and dismounted, and trotted all the way over, stepping on the dirt on the ground, but there was no such noise.

Braziers were lit on both sides of the surrounding road, reflecting Shen Chen's solemn face, and only after the scouts came over did he whisper, "What's the matter?" ”

"The enemy hung lanterns on the towers."

The scout replied.

"Go ahead."

Shen Chen waved his hand.

"Yes."

The scouts retreated.

Shen Chen thought about it and turned his head and didn't go to the front camp again, but returned to his middle camp commander and asked people to find Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei.

After a while, the four of them came in, and they also heard about it, and Deng Ai came in and said: "Dadu Dudu, I originally thought that we would attack for a few more days, but I didn't expect them to be so quick and unbearable, it seems that Wu Qiu Jian is just a mediocre talent." ”

"It's really a bit weird, it stands to reason that the Wei army shouldn't be in such a hurry, just guard the city first and wait for Sima Yi to come over. Although I ordered the siege of the city, I was also thinking of forcing the enemy out or simply killing the city, but I didn't expect that the other party actually planned to start implementing the plan first. ”

Shen Chen touched his chin and thought about it, not understanding what was going on.

Zhao Yun and Gan Ning glanced at each other, smiled and did not speak, Jiang Wei said: "No matter what the enemy thinks, it must be a good thing for us to do this now, Metropolitan Governor, act according to the plan." ”

"Hmm."

Shen Chen looked around, nodded and said, "Pass the order and act according to the plan, but you still have to be careful of the Huns, don't believe it all." ”

"Yui."

A few of them gave up.

Soon the Huns also came, and after a few words of conversation between the two sides, they left again.

It was about late at night, and the officers and men of each battalion had been temporarily called up, and an order was given from above, telling everyone that there would be enemy harassment later, and that the wounded and tired would sleep peacefully, and those who could not sleep would go to the front camp to assemble.

The Han army attacked fiercely, but the 60,000 army was 30,000 in the siege, the other 30,000 had 10,000 people in reserve, and 20,000 people were faintly guarding against the Xiongnu army.

When the soldiers besieging the city heard the order from above, they thought that the enemy was playing a trick to exhaust the enemy, and with the arrangements made by the above, they thought that most of the governors were like gods and did not leak a drop of water, so they all calmed down, did not have any extra thoughts, and continued to fall asleep.

Only a small part of them energetically went to the front camp to gather, and one or two thousand people quickly gathered in the black pressure room, and then under the leadership of Shen Chen, they went through the side gate to the rest of the Han camp in the north, all the way to the northernmost Jiang Wei military camp.

It was not until this time that the soldiers below found that many Han soldiers had gathered one after another, like a stream flowing into rivers, lakes and seas, and soon more than 10,000 people gathered, filling Jiang Wei's camp to the brim.

The soldiers who were summoned to see this scene were a little puzzled, but they also knew that the governor had his own intentions, so under the low orders of the officers above them, they tried not to make any sound.

There are a lot of sounds of rustling, but in the late summer and early autumn of July, there are such sounds everywhere in the wilderness of Bingzhou, and the howling wind blows through the meadows and mountains, and the crickets, knows, and birds in the forest are endless, and it is not strange to have such a sound.

About two quarters of an hour passed, about half the night at the end of the night, the rooster crowed, and two hours later, at the end of Pingdan, that is, at five o'clock in the morning, when the soldiers of the whole battalion got up, and everyone was still a little sleepy at this point.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves rolling like thunder suddenly came from the north, and the earth seemed to tremble, which instantly made all the Han soldiers stunned for a moment, and then the whole person was full of energy.

Didn't the Wei army beat the city?

This was the first thought that came to the minds of the soldiers.

But immediately after that, the officers above the various schools immediately gave the order to shout and kill.

"Enemy attack!"

First, there was a sharp cry, and a melodious trumpet spread throughout the camp.

Immediately after that, the soldiers of the North Battalion happened to receive orders from above, and all of a sudden the voices of the people were boiling, and all kinds of shouts were noisy.

"The enemy has slain."

"Rush."

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Although it was not known why they shouted before the battle, the soldiers thought that this was to scare the enemy away, so they worked very hard.

A moment later, there was a rapid battle outside the northern camp, and then there was the roar of the collapse of houses and walls, and with the shouts of killing, the whole wilderness changed from the original silence to a noisy and noisy city.

Wu Qiu Jian, who had been watching the situation on the city wall, looked out of the city, and he saw the fire outside the Han camp in the distance, and the shadows of people in the night were longing, and the noise resounded throughout the wilderness, and the nearby forest was startled by countless birds.

"Are the scouts back?"

"How's it going?"

"How are the soldiers preparing?"

Wu Qiu Jian asked three times.

Liang Xi next to him immediately responded, it has only been a long time since it started, and the specific situation has not yet been ascertained, but the soldiers in the city are already ready.

Wu Qiu Jian was very patient, and continued to watch from the city, he was not a fool, he would only not see the rabbit and not scatter the eagle, and it was impossible to go out of the city immediately to fight.

But after a while, the scouts returned, and brought a Hun with arrows in their bodies, and the Huns told Wuqiu Jian in vague Chinese that Liu Bao and they attacked the Han camp at night as agreed, but the Han camp was strong, and there were many bows and crossbows, and they could not attack it for a long time.

And the scouts also gave the same answer, a large number of Huns roamed around the periphery and it was difficult to capture the camp, although it caused a lot of fluctuations to the Han army at the first time, and lost a few small camps, but they were stubbornly defended.

After learning this information, Wu Qiu Jian knew that with the combat effectiveness of the Huns, they could not be counted on to attack the camp and pull out the village, so he immediately ordered the entire Wei army to attack, except for the 5,000 people left in the city, the rest of the people all went to the battlefield.

Soon, gongs, drums and horns also sounded in the county town of Gaodu, and countless Wei troops lit torches, shouting and killing in their mouths, and rushed out with a howl like a wolf, which made the chaotic wilderness even more chaotic for a while.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the Wei army joined the battlefield, they saw the Huns suddenly launch a surprise attack, several Han army camps on the periphery were breached, and they were also set on fire, but relying on the criss-crossing inner camp a large number of bows and crossbow arrows were constantly shooting outward, so that the Huns could not get close.

Thousands of Huns wearing leather armor held wrought iron knives and small round shields and wanted to rush over, but they suffered heavy losses under the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun, and there were many Huns on the periphery who could only watch from afar, and they were obviously helpless against the defense of the Han army.

Wu Qiu Jian rode on his horse and looked at the Han army camp in front of him, and couldn't help but admire: "Shen Chen is really a genius in the world, this camp is extremely cleverly arranged, even if the outer camp is breached, there are endless camps inside. ”

Wang Xiu, the general next to him, said: "General, I heard that General Zhenxi had obviously occupied the advantage at the beginning, but he was always unable to attack for a long time because of the Han army camp, so he really can't be underestimated." ”

"Well, while the attention of the Han army is on the Huns, quickly attack the camp!"

Wu Qiu Jian drew his sword and shouted.

"Attack the camp!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry."

"Go over there and set up a ladder."

"Kill."

Tens of thousands of Wei troops covered the wilderness land with a radius of one or two square kilometers, and there was a huge plain at the west gate of Gaodu County, and the dense Wei army heads were crowded, flooding the Han army camp like a tide.

Under the command of generals at all levels, a large number of Wei troops began to carry ladders and rushed to the fence outside the front camp of the Han army.

Under the light of the fire, thousands of Wei soldiers had already jumped into the front camp of the Han army, cutting people when they saw them, and fighting everywhere.

For a time, the front camps of the Han army were full of chaotic sounds.

At this moment, most of the remaining 5,000 defenders in Gaodu County were watching the battle at the west city gate, and the garrison strength of the rest of the city gates was very small, and no one noticed that there were figures quietly approaching the city outside the south and east city gates in the chaos.

It was pitch black outside the city, and it happened that tonight was a dark and windy day, and it seemed that there was going to be an autumn rain, and the dark clouds obscured the moonlight, which also provided the best cover for the actions of the Han army.

"Be quiet, don't move."

"Walk quietly."

"Slow down, slow down, don't make a sound."

Officers of all ranks communicated with the soldiers at the bottom in very small words, and they cautiously crouched forward, using the weeds, trees, and obstacles outside the city as shelter.

Now that most of the Wei troops have gone out of the city to launch a surprise attack, the Han army is about to crumble, and Wu Qiu Jian did not find out that the Han army should have 60,000 troops at this moment, but the strength is seriously insufficient, and he thought that the Han army was resisting in the camp, and he didn't know that there were thousands of nearly 10,000 people approaching the city.

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei are the main generals of these two teams, Deng Ai led 5,000 people, Jiang Wei is more than 3,000 and less than 4,000, but the main force has been hiding in the grove outside the city, and the two of them only brought hundreds of people to slowly approach the city.

The soldiers guarding the city above were not thinking about the city at all, but they all approached the southwest and northwest corners of Gaodu County to see the situation outside the west city, and the fire-rising appearance attracted all the Wei troops.

In the end, it's just a group of inexperienced family soldiers.

Deng Ai raised his head and saw that there were hardly any soldiers poking down from the city, all of them were watching the excitement over there, and sneered in his heart, then set up a wooden ladder, and the first one began to climb up quietly.

Drill into the city wall along the female wall battlement, quietly landed, look around, and see that there are only a few Wei troops on the south wall of the entire Gaodu County, no one patrols, no one stands guard, some lie on the ground and sleep on the ground, most of the people are crowded in the west, and the angle between the south city wall and the west city wall is lively to watch.

He immediately stretched out a hand, there were seven or eight wooden ladders below, dozens of people quickly climbed to the city wall, Deng Ai did not kill at the first time, but very cleverly led the soldiers to take advantage of the sky to cover the city tower, there are defenders in the hole of the city wall, basically resting.

But soon the sound of the fight sounded, and the Wei army, who was closer, realized that they had discovered the intruder, and immediately blew their whistles, but it was too late, the city gate had been opened, and hundreds of people outside the city immediately came in to guard the city gate.

Immediately after that, thousands of people hiding outside came out of the small river, the mouth of the ruined village, and the grove two or three miles away from the city, and ran quickly to the city gate with shouts.

The same situation also happened at the East City Gate, although Jiang Wei's side was not so smooth, he successfully won it with a lot of effort.

And Wu Qiu Jian didn't know that his house had been stolen at all, and was looking at Han Ying proudly.

At this time, the front of the Han camp was broken by a surprise attack, and a large number of Wei troops poured into the Han army camp, and the front camp of the Han army had been breached, so they could only rely on the middle camp for defense, but under the siege of several sides, the Han army camp was already crumbling, and it was about to be breached.

"Toot toot toot!"

"Woo woo!"

"Knock knock!"

It was at this time that the Huns in the east sounded the rallying call.

Wu Qiu Jian looked over there suspiciously, and wondered: "What are the Huns doing, how did they withdraw their troops." ”

"Could it be that they can't attack for a long time, they have suffered heavy casualties, so they will rest first?"

Wang Xiu said.

"If there is such a possibility, send someone over and ask."

Wu Qiu Jian motioned for the guards to send scouts to go.

But at this time, the Huns were actually still in a rather tangled situation.

The play had to be done in a full set, and the Huns were caught between the Han and Cao Wei, so they had to fake the play and really send thousands of soldiers to attack.

The Han army is not ambiguous, it is really a bow and crossbow arrows that are scattered out like no money, and if you don't do this, you can't fool the Wei army.

But in this way, Liu Bao and Liu Qubei were really distressed as tribal leaders, so they could only withdraw their troops and come back first.

The Huns slowly withdrew with their horses, and the pressure on the north side of the Han army dropped sharply, and they immediately began to defend to the east.

Liu Xuan rode on horseback and said to Liu Bao and Liu Qubei: "We can attack the Wei army." ”

Liu Bao looked into the distance and found that the Wei army seemed to be on the offensive, and said with some hesitation: "Do you really want to attack the Wei army?" Why do I think that if we continue to storm the Han army, the Wei army will win? ”

Liu Xuan looked at him in surprise, then whipped a stick with the wooden staff in his hand, and shouted: "The two ends of the snake and the mouse, how can they become a big weapon?" ”

"Smack!"

Liu Bao was hit with a stick and instinctively wanted to get angry.

Although Liu Xuan is his uncle, in fact, there is not much difference between the two in terms of age and status, and even he is higher in status, which naturally makes him very angry.

However, before Liu Bao could say anything to Liu Xuan, in the next second, an earth-shattering voice suddenly came from the wilderness further west.

The faces of all the Huns changed.

As a nation of horses, this voice is all too familiar to them, it is the sound of the hooves of thousands of horses galloping.

The cavalry of the Wei army is basically in the south, under the control of Sima Yi and Xiahou Yuan, and there is almost no cavalry on the battlefield on the Western Front, where is this cavalry?

Liu Bao subconsciously said: "Send someone to see whose cavalry it is." ”

At that moment, dozens of Huns turned their horses and headed towards the western wilderness, and at this moment, the dark clouds shrouded in the silver moon quietly dispersed, and the bright silver light sprinkled all over the land, which broadened their horizons.

I saw that in the wilderness in the distance, countless black figures appeared on the western horizon, seemingly coming from the direction of Qinshui, rolling with rolling wind and thunder, overwhelming mountains and seas.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, the armor on the cavalry was unobstructed, which made all the Huns who came to reconnoiter change their faces and were full of horror.

They were all dressed in orange-red uniforms with shiny silver armor.

It's the Han Army!

Tens of thousands of Han cavalry!

They were like a fiery red flame, swift and swift.

The Iron Horse Glacier is coming into the night!
