Chapter 150: It's so burning, it's so burning
The Han army and the Donghu army faced each other for ten days.
It is said to be a confrontation, but in fact, through the earthen wall, no one can see who clearly, and there is no fight, it is purely a military picnic.
Liu Ke, who had already fallen into the defensive, could sit still, but he couldn't sit still.
He summoned his son, Qiyan Xiaoxian.
Although Qiyan Xiaoxian failed to inherit his father's martial arts, he was quite wise.
"What did my father call me for?"
"You kid has a lot of ideas, come and see, the Han army is attacking in one place, and the momentum is violent, why is it turning from attack to defense now?"
"What's the conspiracy in this?"
Qi Yan Daxian took a sip of tiger bone wine, although he was unwilling, he had to admit that Liu Pheasant had always had a hand in playing conspiracy and tricks, so he had to be more vigilant.
Qi Yan Xiaoxian did not think about it, and said proudly:
"The Han people have a saying, saying that there must be demons when things go wrong, and in my opinion, most of the Han army is bluffing."
"Bluffing?"
Qi Yan Daxian made a puzzled look and asked:
"What's the deal with it?"
Qiyan Xiaoxian paused and said slowly:
"After the Han army set up camp, they did not attack, but confronted our army."
"It is enough to show that the Han army is not sure of taking our army."
"My father built an earthen wall in advance, which led to a barrier, which made it even more difficult for the Han army to deploy."
"In this way, it is normal to switch from offense to defense."
"After all, the Great Khan is not in good health, as long as he can hold Xuwen County, it will be beneficial to the Han army if it drags on like this."
Bang –
Qi Yan Daxian kicked over the table, stood up, shook his head again and again, and was very disappointed in his son:
"I thought you had some high opinions."
He is also in his fifties, and even if he can live for more than ten or twenty years, his energy is not enough.
The rest of the matter has to be fought for by his son.
But this son is not very competitive.
Although he has some small wisdom, he has not experienced the march, and he does not know the battle array.
And he is more impatient, and he doesn't think deeply when he encounters problems.
If it weren't for the fact that the Great Khan launched the entire Qiyan Department this time, Qiyan Xiaoxian would probably still be playing!
If it goes on like this, the days ahead will not be too easy.
The filth of the Donghu Babu, the Donghu people themselves see it better than anyone else.
After all, the death of the Great Khan was a matter of time.
Even if the Han Dynasty is pacified, the eight nobles will inevitably fight among themselves after the death of the Great Khan.
When the time comes, he will show the ability of this kid with a begging face, and if he wants to fight for power and profit in the chaos, he will hardly be able to do it.
If you get dizzy for a while, your impatient temperament will be committed again, and you will directly stand on the wrong team, and it will be difficult to even save your life.
"It seems that in this battle, we still have to earn more military merits and strive to protect ourselves."
Qi Yan thought about it and ordered at the same time:
"That Liu Pheasant is only twenty years old, and he dares to visit the camp alone, I have been famous for a long time, and I have killed countless generals, how can I be weaker than him?"
"Order 800 people and go to the Han army camp with me to find out."
"Whether it's true or not, what the intention is, you can find out at a glance."
"Yes"
Beggar Xiaoxian reluctantly went down.
You said that you are an old man, and you already have a plan in your heart, and you ask me what I am doing?
Doesn't that embarrass me?
Not long after, Qiyan Daxian took his son and 800 Donghu soldiers to the slope behind the Han army camp.
The flags in the camp were unfurled, and the crowds were crowded.
Qi Yan squinted his eyes and asked his son:
"What time is it?"
Qiyan Xiaoxian glanced at the sky and said:
"Shen Shi."
"Shen Shi is a meal."
Qiyan Daxian quietly looked at the Han army camp:
"When it came to dinner, there was no cooking smoke in the camp."
"At first glance, it looks like the flag is waving, but in fact, the route is chaotic and scattered, not quite like a patrolling soldier."
"That Liu Pheasant uses soldiers, and there are a lot of opportunities, so he must mislead me with tricks."
Qi Yan Xiaoxian was shocked and said urgently:
"Is it an empty camp?"
"I heard that Qiyan Jinhan has made quite a lot of gains under the county town of Kanghai County, and he will break through the city in a few days."
"Isn't it that Liu Pheasant used a trick to stabilize our army with an empty camp, and at this time he has already led the army to leave and support Kanghai County?"
Qi Yan Daxian also had this idea.
I have to say that Liu Pheasant is really scheming.
First, he was coerced by a large army, forcing him to build an earthen wall to resist.
Then, in the Donghu camp, there was an earthen wall to cover it, which was inconvenient for the ears and eyes, and set up a camp.
used an empty camp to stabilize the Donghu soldiers and horses attacking Xuwen County, so that he did not dare to act easily, and then marched into Kanghai County.
In this way, you can use one army to contain two soldiers and horses.
Even if the progress goes smoothly, a time difference can be fought, and an absolute superiority in forces can be achieved locally.
The more Qi Yan Xiaoxian thought about it, the more anxious he became, he slammed the horse's belly violently, and said with a nervous expression:
"The soldiers and horses in the hands of Qiyan Jinhan are not as good as the Han army, and they have quite a success, so they must be unprepared at this time."
After saying that, he clenched his fists and sensed that something was wrong:
"If you are attacked from behind by the Han army, you will definitely be defeated!"
"Father still needs to send a scout horse to deliver the letter to Qiyan Jinhan!"
Qi Yan Daxian was also upset for a while, he knew that time was pressing, and if he continued to delay, the risk of war would become higher and higher.
But there is no urgency at this time.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then stared at the others.
If the Han army really used a trick and then moved into Kanghai County, then it would inevitably block the road to prevent him from sending a letter to Qiyan Jinhan after seeing through the empty camp.
Therefore, it is useless to be in a hurry.
"Just wait here."
Qi Yan Daxian decided to determine the reality of the Han army first.
Shen Shi is certainly a meal, but what if the Han army doesn't like to eat at this point?
Qiyan Xiaoxian persuaded:
"Father, the Han army camp here is too close, if it is really an empty camp, it doesn't matter, but if there is an ambush."
Qi Yan waved his big knife and said resolutely:
"Just a few Han soldiers, Lao Tzu doesn't know how many he killed, and he hasn't fallen to the point where he has to run away before anyone sees him."
"Even if there is an ambush?"
"Then Liu Pheasant dares to come to our army camp in an ambush, will Lao Tzu be worse than him?!"
The beggar showed off the horse with the golden sword, and the horse was on the slope.
The main general is like this, and the soldiers are not easy to persuade much, so they can only follow and watch the Han army camp in a daze.
Until the evening.
"Most of them are empty camps"
Begging Yan Xiaoxian and others are a little tired:
"Father, it seems that this must be Liu Pheasant's deception, and there is no doubt that the camp is empty."
"It's better to send messengers quickly, or directly lead the army to catch up, and fight back and forth with Qiyan Jinhan, and directly break the Han army."
Begging Yan took a few steps, beckoned, and didn't care about his son:
"Soldiers, follow the camp with Ben!!"
He rushed to the Han army camp as soon as he took the lead.
The Donghu soldiers had no choice but to rush forward.
However, the journey was unexpectedly smooth.
Even a cadre of people, under the leadership of Qiyan Daxian, easily entered the Han army camp.
Even though there were some strongholds and pits, there was no Han army soldier to guard them.
"What an empty camp?!"
I saw that in the camp of the Han army, there were all donkeys, and there was no figure in half of them.
There was a dummy on the donkey, and a flag was planted on the dummy.
The donkey walks back and forth, creating the illusion of people coming and going, waving flags.
"Striking the east and attacking the west, it must be a plan to strike the east and the west!!"
Qiyan Xiaoxian raised his eyes and looked at the north, and roared urgently:
"The Han army must be as I speculated, supporting Kanghai County, and sneaking up on Qiyan Jinhan's soldiers and horses!!"
After Qi Yan Daxian confirmed that it was an empty camp, he became more calm, stretched out his hand to suppress it, and asked:
"After the Han army is encamped, can you contact the guards in Xu Wencheng?"
Qiyan Xiaoxian was stunned and even more anxious:
"I didn't contact the defenders of Xuwen County!"
"This is enough to see that Xu Wen County is not the main place where the Han army is stationed, but just to cover the attack!"
"At this time, the Han army must be on the way to Kanghai County!"
Qi Yan Daxian nodded slowly, agreeing with his son's statement.
Although he was always uneasy in his heart.
But after thinking about it, the abnormal behavior of the Han army is not only to play tricks and attack the west.
I really can't find a more reasonable explanation.
And it does work.
If the Han army hadn't come to set up an empty camp near Xuwen, he would have led a large army to forcibly break through Xuwen County by now.
"Good means."
Qiyan Xiaoxian didn't know, but Dad still sighed at this time, and urged:
"Father, give the order to enter the army!"
Qi Yan Daxian hesitated, and he didn't know if the Han army had been gone for a few days, and he couldn't catch up.
Suddenly, I saw the Han army flag on the dummy, and I thought about it:
"No, the order given to me by the King of Khan is to attack Xuwen County."
"Now that we know that the Han army is leaving, isn't this the best opportunity to attack the city?!"
"Quickly let the soldiers bring their swords and baggage, and all of them will be transferred to the Han army camp."
Qiyan Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized:
"Father is trying to pretend to be a Han army?"
That's a good idea.
Donghu Daying is closer to the city of Xuwen County.
Although there is an earthen wall to cover it, as the main target of the Donghu army on this road, they have never relaxed their monitoring of Xuwen County.
It can be determined that the Han army did not contact the defenders of Xuwen County.
Even if the messenger enters the city in a hanging basket at night, he will inevitably be discovered by the condor shooter specially arranged by the beggar Yandaxian.
After all, it is also important to cut off the connection between the defenders and the reinforcements.
This is also one of the reasons why Liu Ke found that there were no sentry posts in Donghu Camp when he visited the camp before.
The sentry posts of the beggar generals are all spread around the city of Xuwen County.
And the guards of Xu Wen County, judging from the city, can only see the Han army coming with support at most.
It is not known how the Han army will move next.
The Han army left an empty camp and deceived the Donghu people and their own people in Xuwen County.
"The plan is calculated, my father is really a veteran on the battlefield!"
Qi Yan Xiaoxian couldn't help but admire.
This bit of wisdom of his own, in front of his father, is not useful at all.
It is difficult for the Han army to pretend to be Donghu people, but among the Donghu soldiers, there are many Han people.
It is much simpler to let these Han people who have joined the army pretend to be soldiers of the Han army.
In the face of his son's praise, Qi Yan was silent, but in fact, he was also a little selfish.
It's not like you're useless?!
Qiyan Jinhan has made quite a success in Kanghai County, but he is frightened by an empty camp and does not dare to enter the siege of the city, this is going to be spread, how do the people in the clan think of him?
The Han army went to support Kanghai County, anyway, he wanted to attack Xuwen County, and if he made war achievements, he could also give his son a share of the profits.
has military exploits to protect himself, no matter how bad he is, he can keep safe in the eight internal fights in the future.
Soon, the Donghu soldiers turned into small units and entered the Han army camp in batches.
This is also to avoid being discovered by the defenders of Xuwen County.
The entire Han army camp was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
I have to say that the Donghu soldiers who captured Gaozhou this time were all warriors.
Except for the neglect of the war in recent years because of the great Han Dynasty, almost all of them are well-trained soldiers.
Everyone walked slowly and silently, meticulously sorting out the supplies.
Qiyan Daxian was at the main gate of the camp, holding a big knife and carrying a longbow.
Behind him were 8,000 elite soldiers.
"You and Ben will attack Xuwen County together, regardless of casualties, you must kill the defenders of Xuwen County!"
"Let them have to risk sending people out of the city to ask for help!"
The calculation of begging Yan Daxian played very well.
Not only did the dove occupy the magpie's nest, but after the Han army left, he occupied the Han army camp and disguised himself as a Han army soldier.
It is also necessary to send troops and horses to attack the city and force the defenders of Xuwen County to ask for help.
It is equivalent to Sun Wukong transforming into the appearance of the Bull Demon King, and forcing the Iron Fan Princess to take the initiative to call her husband.
And once the defenders of Xu Wen County ventured to the Han army camp to ask for help, they completely fell into the plan of begging for Yan Daxian.
At this time, even if the acting skills of the soldiers are a little worse and their feet are exposed, under the military emergency, the defenders of Xu Wen County will subconsciously ignore it, so it is difficult to find anything unusual.
When the Donghu soldiers who pretended to be the Han army entered the city, Xu Wen County was at their fingertips.
Just as we were about to go.
Suddenly, a fire broke out, and smoke rose in the camp.
"It's out of the water! Gone out of the water!! ”
The fire spread rapidly, and the wooden barracks in the camp and the surrounding military tents were engulfed one after another.
For a while, the fire was in full swing.
The panicked Donghu soldiers were running around, all shouting loudly.
"Firefighting! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
The soldiers hurriedly fetched water from everywhere, extinguished the flames, and dug up earth to cover them.
They desperately rescued important supplies, and constantly pulled flammable items out of the barracks.
Qiyan Daxian, who was about to attack Xuwen County, also had to turn around and hurriedly asked the soldiers to return to the camp to help put out the fire.
After burning for a while, although the fire was extinguished, because the camp had just been moved, many supplies had not had time to be organized.
Under the chaos of the fire, a lot of losses were lost.
Qi Yan frowned, with a little anger in his eyes, and called the general:
"What's going on?"
"The camp is so lively, why did it suddenly go out of the water?"
He has a lot of generals, and they're all consumables anyway.
The general had just come down from the fire, his face was dark, and he didn't care about wiping it, and he couldn't catch his breath:
"There are too many materials and too many miscellaneous materials, and the soldiers will carry the oil lamps and .
"And what?"
"It was put together with the straw man, and then it burned"
This straw man, which is both artemisia grass and green cloth, is simply an excellent flammable.
"Who wants you to move straw men? What's the use of that thing?! ”
"The straw man was pierced by the general's own hands, and so did the soldiers."
Qi Yan showed his anger and didn't fight anywhere, pointed at the partial general and said sharply:
"So, is it to blame Ben General?!"
The general hurried down:
"The last general will not dare!!"
Qi Yan snorted coldly:
"Did you find the soldier who was negligent enough to walk in the water?"
"Found it."
"Kill, sacrifice the flag, and use the head to warn the soldiers."
"Today it was negligence that caused the battalion to go water, and tomorrow it was negligence and lost his head on the battlefield!"
"Instead of letting Han Jun cut off his head, let's do it ourselves!"
Qi Yan showed a murderous intent, and he was not half-distracted and soft-hearted.
He has been in the army for decades, and it is not that he has not been burned by the enemy, but his own soldiers made a mistake for a while, resulting in the burning of the camp, which is the first time.
Sure enough, it has been 20 years of continuous victories, and the soldiers are lazy.
Qi Yan Daxian suddenly paused, and thought of something:
"Wait."
"What else does the general command?"
"Hang your head under the banner of the Han army."
"Yes."
The general didn't know what to do, and felt a little cruel, but he still did it.
Qi Yan Daxian was also angry at this time.
It is better to expose the problems of the soldiers at this time than to have problems when they are on the battlefield.
Just those few heads can also win the trust of the defenders of Xu Wen County who asked for help.
However, after such a fire, Qiyan Daxian was not in a hurry to attack the city tonight, and let the soldiers rest for the night first.
Night.
Insect chirping.
Qiyan Daxian was asleep in the big tent of the Chinese army.
When he confronted the Han army before, he was pretending to sleep at night and didn't dare to sleep too deeply, but now he can finally have a good night's rest.
But in a trance, he felt a little hot in the tent.
"Did you drink too much tiger bone wine?"
Qi Yan Daxian turned over dimly, and became asleep on his stomach, wanting to hold back.
But he noticed that his surroundings were getting hotter and hotter, so he suddenly opened his eyes.
Then, to his horror, he found that beyond the tent, there was a fire.
“???”
He jumped up quickly, and before he had time to put on it, he immediately notified the soldiers.
At the time of the camp, there was a sound of gongs and drums, and all the soldiers woke up from their sleep.
They also had a good night's sleep because of the departure of the Han army.
So at first, many people didn't believe it.
There is no enemy attack on the camp, it was just burned a few hours ago, why did it burn again??
It wasn't until they smelled the smoke and saw the fire that they realized the seriousness.
In the midst of anxiety and shouting at each other, the camp was in disarray.
The soldiers who ran out of the camp in a panic began to fetch water in various ways to try to save the camp.
Qiyan Daxian also participated in the firefighting.
After a period of busyness, the fire was extinguished again.
Unlike during the day, the fire was not detected at night, and a lot of baggage was lost.
The breeze blew, bringing with it a scorched smell.
Just Nima is outrageous.
Qi Yan Daxian didn't know what kind of mentality he should use to face it.
"What's going on this time?"
"Yes, me."
The beggar Xiaoxian, who had messy braids and was disheveled, was lowering his head and admitting his mistake:
"When I woke up at night, I was careless."
Qi Yan Daxian went up and slapped his son:
"Shut up, lead the thirty army battles, and don't let me see you until you are healed."
There were two fires in a row, and Beggar Daxian didn't dare to be careless, so he deliberately waited for a few more days.
Three days later, when he saw that nothing had gone wrong in the past few days, he relieved himself and decided to attack the city that night.
"It's out of the water!!"
“.”
Just half an hour before the night of the expedition, the camp caught fire.
Moreover, this time the situation was quite serious, and it happened that the tent where the grain was stored caught fire.
Most of the grain was lost.
Because of the injuries in the military battle, Qi Yan Xiaoxian, who was unable to move, was also burned.
"Strange thing, is it possible that the big man has God's blessing?"
The mentality of the beggar is a little collapsed.
The three accidents not only delayed the fighters, but also directly burned the grain.
"The grain can only supply the needs for two days, and the subsequent grain supply will take some time."
"Moreover, when the Han army goes to Kanghai County, in the north of our army, it will inevitably be obstructed, so that our army's grain and straw materials can be easily transported to Xuwen."
After thinking about it, Qiyan Daxian felt that it was no longer suitable to storm Xu Wen County at this time, and even this strange Han army camp was not suitable for staying any longer.
He is worthy of the name of a general, and he immediately decided:
"Rest for the night, and march to Kanghai County tomorrow to support Qiyan Jinhan's department."
This is also a helpless move, it is not good to attack Xuwen County now, so it is better to go north to Kanghai County.
It can not only relieve the siege of Qiyan Jinhan, but also quickly break through Kanghai County after the two soldiers and horses are combined into one place.
You can also rub some begging Jinhan's grain and grass to eat.
Anyway, after breaking through Kanghai County, a place where grain is stored, there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass.
Qi Yan sighed:
"I'm afraid that in this battle of Gaozhou, the first credit will be attributed to Qiyan Jinhan."
I was a little unwilling, but I was helpless.
After all, these three accidental fires really made him misunderstand the military order of the Great Khan.
"But being able to take Kanghai County as soon as possible and destroy Liu Pheasant can be regarded as a great achievement."
