Chapter 227: A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance
At night, in the Donghu camp, singing and dancing are leveled everywhere.
The Donghu people are not only good at fighting, but also good at singing and dancing.
Bonfires were lit everywhere, and the soldiers on duty at night warmed their wine and took a sip from time to time.
The whole camp was filled with the laughter of a wine feast.
Zhang Dingguo is still pushing cups and exchanging lamps with the Donghu generals.
Pu Qianguang confessed, saying that he was too drunk and left early.
Although he also wanted to celebrate in his heart, he always had a bad premonition.
As a famous general, his intuition told him that the current army was the weakest and most lax.
Even he didn't think that anything would happen at this time.
But proper vigilance is still needed.
What if the soldiers eat, drink and have fun and accidentally walk into the water?
easily wiped out the rebels, but he had too much fun and burned down the camp, but it was a futile joke.
Pu Qianguang stood quietly by the big tent, and in front of his eyes, the countless lanterns and bonfires in the camp outlined the outline of the big camp.
This is the camp he personally set up, and he knows every detail well.
It is not an airtight camp wall, but with each large camp as the fulcrum, the camp is densely covered with horses, antlers, and guest stakes, and hounds are kept to prevent people from sneaking over.
There is a small river one mile outside the camp gate, and it is very convenient to get water on weekdays.
It's almost like a small city, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Thinking of this, Pu Qianguang couldn't help but chuckle.
This was the camp he had painstakingly set up at that time in order to fight the rebels for a long time.
It's a pity that after tonight, you won't need it.
Pu Qianguang was a little bored, and his eyes swept over the camp again.
If the enemy comes to rob the camp, which gate should I take?
Definitely not going through the north gate, there is a dense forest in the north, so he deliberately planted a large number of secret sentinels.
It is impossible for the enemy's actions to hide the secret posts scattered throughout the dense forest.
The most likely, it should be the South Gate.
The south gate is the closest to the big tent of the Chinese army, and there is a granary for storing grain, which is flammable.
The camp must be set on fire, and once the water is gone, it is easy for the soldiers in the camp to mutiny.
Pu Qianguang silently estimated the time, and it was almost time.
He yawned, a little sleepy, but listening to the noisy singing and dancing of the soldiers all night, and the smell of wine and meat, he must not have been able to sleep.
He stepped lightly, moved his numb feet, and walked to a campfire, scalding a pot of wine and drinking.
Suddenly, a burst of fire burst into the distance.
Pu Qianguang immediately became a spirit, and shouted:
"Enemy attack?!"
"What's going on?!!"
A guard hurriedly ran over and said:
"General, a soldier accidentally brought a bonfire and burned the camp tent."
"Hmm"
Pu Qianguang patted his head, he had been guessing that the enemy army had robbed the camp just now, and when he saw the firelight, he was a little stressed.
Forget it, who told this rebel army to be defeated and dispersed so easily!
If he could hold on for a while, he wouldn't be bored enough to guess that the enemy had robbed the camp.
Suddenly, there was another burst of fire.
Pu Qianguang's face was displeased, and he ordered the guards, saying:
"You asked the soldiers to extinguish all the bonfires, and the camp was not broken by the enemy, but let them burn it themselves."
"What a system!"
"General!!"
A wheezing voice came from afar:
"It's not a water, it's an enemy attack, an enemy attack !!"
"Enemy attack?"
Pu Qianguang hesitated, the direction of the fire was at the north gate, but according to his previous speculation, even if the enemy army came to rob the camp, he would not go through the north gate.
Unless there are only a few dozen people, and they are well hidden.
Otherwise, even eight hundred people would be discovered by the secret sentinels he had set up.
But if there are really only a few dozen people, are they here to rob the camp, or are they here to take refuge?
Pu Qianguang was a little confused for a while.
He couldn't even tell where this enemy attack was coming from.
The so-called Guiyi army has lost its leader, has completely lost its will to fight, and it is impossible to organize an effective attack on the camp.
Could it be a mountain bandit?
After robbing the house, you drank too much and ended up in the barracks by mistake?
Well.
This guess is much more reliable than the large battalion where dozens of enemy troops came and robbed 50,000 soldiers and horses.
Before Pu Qianguang could finish thinking, another guard ran over, he ran all the way, he was so tired that he couldn't speak, and his face was quite anxious.
"Han Army, Han Army, under the banner of the Han Army!!"
"First at the north gate, now to, to the south gate."
"Who's in charge?"
"I don't know, but there's a donkey cart!"
Pu Qianguang said angrily:
"When did the Han army arrive at the camp, and near the north gate, why did the surveillance post not see the slightest information coming?"
Under the gaze of Pu Qianguang's wolf-like eyes, the guard hurriedly defended:
"I don't know if it's small, Xing, maybe it's because there are few Han soldiers, and it's not easy to be found"
Pu Qianguang was so angry that he pushed him away, no matter how few people there were, there would be thousands of people to rob the camp, right?
As for the donkey cart, he didn't care.
Either driving a donkey cart is a great man.
Obviously, this is a kind of bluff, pretending that it is the emperor of the Han Dynasty who is leading the army, so as to make the Donghu soldiers in the battalion feel afraid.
I have to say that this hand does work.
However, Pu Qianguang didn't care, after all, this kind of trick is easy to puncture.
The Han Emperor is a chessboard that smashes a person to death, and you can see the truth at a glance.
"It seems to be that kind of Xuan."
Pu Qianguang knew in his heart, and through Zhang Dingguo, he also understood the rebels inside and out.
Chong Xuan called Zhang Yiping his brother, his person Yunwen Yunwu, and quite prestigious, and he was also born in the Runan clan.
is very courageous, I went south to the Han court to ask for help, calculate the time, and should come back.
After this kind of Xuan found out, his brother died, the Guiyi soldiers were disheartened, Zhang Dingguo rebelled, and in anger, he organized a group of people to rob the camp, which is also possible.
"General, what should we do now?"
The guard asked Pu Qianguang.
The answer in Pu Qianguang's heart is very simple, a kind of Xuan, with a small group of soldiers and horses robbing the camp, will definitely not succeed.
But just as he was about to give orders, several tents caught fire in a row.
"Not quite right"
Pu Qianguang felt that something was not quite right for no reason, and in the camp near the south gate, fires burst out from everywhere, and they were particularly conspicuous in a pitch-black background.
The soldiers on duty everywhere looked to the north and began to discuss.
Others watched the excitement with wine and meat, they didn't have enough information, and many people thought it was a simple fire.
The guard looked around in a bit of a panic, he didn't expect that the fire could not be controlled directly, and muttered:
"General, general, it was the north gate just now, and now there is a fire in the south, where did the enemy break into the camp from, and how many people are there?"
Pu Qianguang squinted his eyes and said:
"It must be the south gate."
According to his previous guess, the enemy troops who robbed the camp came out of the south gate, which was the easiest to cause chaos.
And it is close enough to the big tent of the Chinese army, if that kind of Xuan has thoughts about Zhang Dingguo, he will definitely not give up attacking the big tent of the Chinese army.
In this way, the fire near the North Gate and the enemy forces near the North Gate are obvious.
It must have been Chong Xuan who sent a small group of soldiers and horses, maybe dozens of people, to the north gate.
Then disperse the battalion and light fires everywhere, so that all the Donghu soldiers support the north gate, and then launch a surprise attack from the relatively weak south gate.
"This kind of Xuan is really capable."
Pu Qianguang couldn't help but sigh.
The guard scolded fiercely:
"The Han people always use intrigues and tricks, which is really hateful!"
"General, what should we do now?"
Pu Qianguang replied lightly:
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, you pass on the general's order, from the Chinese army's tent to the outside of the defense in turn, while extinguishing the fire, while pressing step by step, the enemy army at the south gate will be repulsed."
"If the fire is too big to extinguish for a while, clean up the surrounding combustibles and cut them off."
"And then?"
Pu Qianguang said lightly:
"And then the enemy was dead, and there was no then."
ββ
Yin time.
Liu Ke began to rush, and he didn't pick the time.
Looking at the singing and dancing in the Donghu camp, he knew that he had come to the right place this time.
γHongmen Banquet: You won't get hurt when the banquet is heldγ.
Your banquet is all open, so arrogant, then don't blame me for opening a lock and hanging blood.
However, Chong Xuan on the other side is still very careful and very strategic.
With a spear in one hand and a short spear behind his back, and his legs between his legs, he leaped over the guardrail of the camp at a gallop.
But he is not in a hurry to make a move, it is difficult for one person to succeed, and he has to wait for friendly forces.
He also deliberately wrapped the horse's hooves to minimize the movement.
Bang ββββ
I only heard a rampage.
Immediately made Chong Xuan a little stunned.
The next moment, it was a donkey cart that broke through the fence.
Then there was a burly literati riding a tall horse, who shouted without armor and followed angrily.
Chongxuan:.
Gotcha, you're awesome.
"Do it!"
Chong Xuan followed closely, and after a burst of applause, he picked up a long and short spear and hit a bonfire at the military tent on the side.
The sparks flew down, and in an instant, the tent was ablaze.
The Donghu people who were still holding a banquet in the tent were eating and drinking, not to mention wearing armor, and they didn't even have a knife in their hands.
When he ran out of the tent in a hurry, he found that he was holding a leg of mutton.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy"
Before he could shout a third time, he was hit in the head by a chessboard.
In the chaos, a young general from Donghu rode out of the horse, and he seemed to be quite brave.
Those Donghu soldiers in the chaos couldn't stop his footsteps, and they were smashed away one after another.
The young general of Donghu breathed steadily and powerfully, his eyes were condensed, and he opened his bow violently and shot an arrow at Liu Ke on the donkey cart.
Drive a donkey cart, do you think you are the emperor?
The arrow was in the air, like a thin line, and the sharp arrow flashed with cold light.
At this moment, it seemed that the entire camp was still, and even the fire of the camp seemed to be frozen at this time.
Whew-
The wind blows, the fire burns.
Murder and arson are still the same.
Nothing happened.
On weekdays, you have to pawn Chu and Yuan Fu to block the gun, and you have to eat and drink, are you afraid that you will suddenly have a cold arrow?
Liu Ke even picked up a jar of wine and poured it for himself.
It's all the banquet, so I'll just have a drink.
After a few sips, he poured the wine onto the tent and added another fire.
The scene seemed a little unreasonable for a while.
The young general of Donghu was stunned.
I just shot an arrow, right?
That arrow, you should have hit it, right?
Somewhat confused, he saw that the enemy army did not seem to be numerous, so he committed suicide, shouting at the same time:
"Gather to me!!"
In the chaotic war, such a call can undoubtedly stabilize the soldiers.
The effect is good, the panicked Donghu soldiers, put down the wine and meat in their hands, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and leaned towards the Donghu general.
Lu Feng's father also leaned over.
Then all the Donghu soldiers who approached saw that the young Donghu general, who they regarded as the backbone of the backbone, was beaten straight by a halberd, and flew back and forth from where, flew upside down into the tent, and smashed several jars of good wine.
Didn't you say I was going to gather you?
I've gathered it, a halberd has given you seconds, what is there to say.
Chong Xuan smacked his tongue, and when his hands were itching, he took advantage of the chaos to kill several people in a row.
However, he had a good brain, and knew that no matter how many fifty people he killed, he could not kill more than fifty thousand.
Therefore, he only killed for a while, and then used the donkey cart and Lu Fengfu as a spear, swept all the way, and kicked over when he saw the bonfire, and everywhere he went was a mess, but he did not stop.
Like a dog fighting a human power, the slipper crosses the street, and the passing dog has to kick it.
Fifty men came and went as fast as they could, leaving only a few dozen corpses and a tent that was on fire.
Although Liu Ke and Lu Feng's father are very fierce, they are still rational, and they know that Chong Xuan's approach is the most correct.
If you don't go deep into the battle, if you are dragged back by the Donghu soldiers, it will be very troublesome.
They came to rob the camp, and in addition to setting it on fire, they still set it on fire.
A cat on the side did not move, looking at the dozens of horsemen leaving, cold sweat broke out.
"Where did the enemy come from?"
Looking at the brothers around him who only had horror on their faces and only legs of mutton in their hands, and the soldiers who were lying on the ground and had no life, he couldn't move.
"Don't be stunned, put out the fire first, come and report to the general!!"
Someone can finally come to their senses.
At this time, the soldiers reacted and hurriedly carried buckets to put out the fire.
Just as Pu Qianguang guessed, Liu Ke's purpose was the South Gate.
However, he did not have a well-thought-out plan, nor did he take advantage of the situation after setting fire to the north gate to attract enemy troops.
It's just that when they come, it's easier to take the north gate.
Instead of going around to the south gate, simply go all the way through the north gate.
Anyway, since the Donghu people have set up camp here, the road conditions in the camp must be better than the road conditions in the mountains outside.
The cavalry robbed the camp, paying attention to an efficient and fast.
Anyway, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the changes can't catch up with the hanging.
After Pu Qianguang saw the donkey cart rushing to the south, he felt that he had calculated the enemy's intention to rob the camp, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing the two cronies, he said very calmly:
"You two go to the granary, and lead the men into formation, and don't let them set fire."
Even if there will not be too many casualties, if they set fire to people and burn food, they will not be able to afford a loss.
After giving the order, Pu Qianguang picked up the saber and killed him personally.
"The Guiyi Army, was it broken up by such soldiers and horses?"
"I'm really disappointed!"
Liu Ke on the donkey cart licked the corners of his mouth and smiled presumptuously.
There is still a piece of greasy at the corner of his mouth, and he just picked up a few roast leg of lamb on the way to eat.
Not to mention, the Donghu people still have a hand in this regard.
But tonight, it was much more than just a leg of mutton roasted, and it was also roasted for this group of Donghu people.
"Kill!!"
When he first rushed into the camp of the Donghu people.
The fifty were indeed uneasy.
Even before the war, I was a little timid.
After killing all the way from the north gate to the south gate, they despised the Donghu people from the bottom of their hearts.
You guys are too stretched, fifty-three people robbed the camp, and they were stunned to kill people from north to south, and no one died.
And
They already knew that the handsome man in the donkey cart in front of them was none other than the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
In addition to the current saint Son of Heaven, how can there be a second donkey cart turned into the wind and can kill people with a chessboard?
Returning to the righteous army, in order to return to Han.
Now that the Son of Heaven is here, and they have a place to return, what is there to fear?
Donghu people?
But that's it.
Today, even if the Great Khan of Donghu guards this big camp, there is nothing he can do!
Oh, when he was in Gaozhou, Qiyan Silie did guard the big camp, and then the army of Qiyan was gone.
Liu Ke is a donkey in the lead, and he can fight and resist, while Chong Xuan and Lu Fengfu are riding side by side, slightly one step behind.
rushed straight to the granary at the south gate.
Begin to go through the process, knock over the bonfire, pour wine and oil, and burn the tent.
If you have time, you can eat and drink again.
With the flames rushing into the sky, the offensive was slightly blocked.
Chong Xuan was shocked to find that the road ahead was blocked by horse rejection and antlers.
This camp is very orderly, and the camp is densely packed with horses, antlers, and guest piles.
Just at the north gate because it was not deep, it was not found.
Now after going deep into the south gate, there are some problems.
And as soon as it stopped, foot soldiers began to pour in from all directions.
Their movements are not fast, and the number of people is not large, but they are extremely tacit, and they have been preparing for a long time, just waiting for them to enter the net.
"The response is so fast."
Chong Xuan only felt a sigh in his heart.
I didn't expect that Pu Qianguang reacted so quickly, and he arranged the countermeasures one step earlier.
"Rush over!"
Chong Xuan didn't want to think about it too much, after all, this Pu Qianguang could be on an equal footing with Zhang Yiping, which was not something to think about.
The top priority is to rush over directly, go to the big tent of the Chinese army, and kill Zhang Dingguo.
Although these Donghu soldiers were prepared, they were infantry soldiers after all, and once their cavalry ran up, they would never be able to catch up.
Chong Xuan rode forward on horseback, with a long spear in one hand and a short gun in the other, about to tear a hole.
The few foot soldiers in front of him quickly raised their shields and leaned over, firmly fixed in place.
Bell β
The tip of the spear swept over the large shield, sending out a burst of sparks.
Chong Xuan's face showed a look of embarrassment, this kind of neat and uniform formation, it seems that it should be Pu Qianguang's elite personal soldiers.
Looking at it this way, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the defense for a while.
"Your Majesty, Lord Lu, these Donghu people are not simple, they are invincible!"
"Quick, turn the horse's head, we will make a detour to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the foot soldiers will not be able to catch up with us!"
Chong Xuan made a decision immediately, and it was difficult to break through the front, just turn his head and detour.
Anyway, no matter how hard the defense line of this group of foot soldiers is, the speed is also a shortcoming, so naturally they can't keep up with the cavalry.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two sides have not yet fully contacted, they can go around directly, no matter how elite they are, there is no way.
It's just that Pu Qianguang also killed at this time and obstructed one or two.
Chong Xuan also secretly complained in his heart, this time it was really reckless, not only was Pu Qianguang expected their main attack, but also let him deal with it in advance.
This time, it hit the iron plate.
And the Donghu generals who hurried in and tried to support were also secretly speechless in their hearts.
Originally, I thought that during the banquet, the camp was robbed by the enemy, and it might be chaotic for a while, and there would be a lot of losses.
After all, the fire at the north gate was almost unstoppable, and even several soldiers who were quite famous in the army had already died.
But I didn't expect that this unstoppable army of soldiers and horses was stopped by Pu Qianguang with an elite.
He is a rare famous general in the clan!
Pu Qianguang squinted at Liu Ke on the donkey cart, and had already recognized the identity of the person through the chessboard spear:
"Liu Pheasant"
He held his head high, immediately crossed his sword, and said proudly and coldly:
"Do you think this is a place where you can come and go when you want?"
Pu Qianguang was in his heart, and he was even a little happy.
I never thought that Emperor Han would be here.
And he was so dazed that he took forty or fifty horsemen with him and came to rob his camp.
Earlier, he also said that the camp that he had worked so hard to settle would have to be abandoned tomorrow.
But I didn't want to, and tonight I made a great achievement.
The next moment.
Liu Ke directly threw the chessboard, but where there is a chessboard, the more big shields, it can bring a scream.
The rain of arrows couldn't hurt him even a minute.
On the other hand, Lu Feng's father, relying on the tendon flesh of his body, stabbed the big shield with his halberd.
After a sonorous sound, the Donghu soldiers who raised their shields were thrown out by the people with their shields.
"Where is Zhang Dingguo! Lu hated such disloyal and unrighteous people the most in his life, so he quickly accepted his life! β
Lu Feng's father directly tore a hole in the Chinese army.
The Donghu soldiers in the back were smashed like watermelons on the chessboard, and they couldn't fill the gap at all.
The donkey cart is in charge, and Lu Feng's father is brave and difficult.
Chong Xuan numbly followed behind, fighting together.
The Han army has always fought like this, I said how to win a hundred battles.
For a time, the fifty-three horsemen were like tigers entering the wolves, and the blood of the killing was splashed everywhere, and no one dared to stop them.
There were not many Donghu soldiers, and in an instant, there was no formation at all, and they scattered and fled.
"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! β
No matter how Pu Qianguang shouted, it was useless.
It's not that I can come when I want to, I can go when I want, why should I come?
"Throw the flag, rush the Chinese army!"
Banners embroidered with "Han" fell on top of the granaries everywhere.
Although there was no arson.
But in a moment, the ferocious fire continued to form a continuous one.
The sky-high flames reflected half the sky.
It's like a fish lantern and a dragon lantern in the festival, dancing non-stop.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of those Donghu people, they should be celebrating the festival.
