Chapter 107: Moonlit Night Robbery

Xu Rong frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Sir, don't you think we don't have enough troops?" ”

Jia Xu nodded deeply and said, "Their strength is about eight to ten times that of us......"

Chen Yan was also taken aback when he heard this, and said, "They have so many more people than us? The art of war is cloudy: ten times surrounded, now they can completely surround us and slowly trap us! ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Thanks to the fact that they don't know enough about us at this time, and at the same time, they are worried that Lu Bu in Chang'an City will take advantage of them to rob them, if not, I'm afraid we will be defeated tonight." ”

Li Su scratched his head and asked, "Then do we still have a way now?" ”

Jia Xu said: "We are fully prepared, vacate the camp tonight, and when they come in, we only need a fire ......."

Chen Yan exclaimed: "If this is the case, then it will definitely kill and wound a lot of enemy soldiers." ”

It is true that fire is still a powerful weapon today. In this era of cold weapons, the power of fire may be comparable to the nuclear weapons of modern society, of course, such a powerful weapon is still a double-edged sword, if it is not well controlled, it is very likely to backfire itself.

After discussing the stop, Chen Yan arranged the plan to everyone, among which Li Su took Hu Che'er and Song Zhong to arrange the firewood and grass, while Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong counted the soldiers and horses, transferred the baggage to a safe place, and waited for a fire tonight, then led the army to escape and changed to another place to continue camping.

But when it comes to preparation, Jia Xu still reminded Chen Yan that this fire can only burn less than 10,000 people and horses at most, and this amount is only a drop in the bucket. In addition to this, Duan Xuan's army is more likely to break through the sea of fire and come to pursue, and I am afraid that Chen Yan will have to face a difficult encounter at that time.

After Chen Yan heard Jia Xu's warning, he became more aware of the difficulties and dangers of this war, and in fact, it was not as stated in the book that a beautiful plan could turn the situation around. The strength of strength is always the key to determining victory or defeat.

What's more, if there are more advanced military advisors in Duan Xuan's army, then Jia Xu's strategy is likely to be discovered.

The two armies are fighting, fighting wits and courage, and the variables are thousands.

After a busy day, night finally fell. At this time, the campfire was gradually lit in the military tent, and it still seemed that a group of people were thriving, but Chen Yan's army had already secretly withdrawn from the barracks. All that was left in the barracks was the extremely powerful soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion.

Chen Yan took Song Zhong and led this group of Yue cavalry soldiers, and there were two tasks to be performed, one was to lure the enemy deeper, and the other was to set fire to the camp.

The rest of Xu Rong led the army, ready to retreat back at any time, and Zhang Xiu led a group of heavy cavalry to be responsible for the rear. As for Li Su, together with Hu Che'er, he took 5,000 heavily armored infantry and shouldered the responsibility of covering up and killing Duan Xuan.

The big battle is about to break out, and everyone is holding their breath!

Gradually, the bright moon slowly rose from the east, and then the old man, like a candle in his last years, slowly paced in the air. The night breeze blew through the woods outside the barracks, and the leaves made the sound of a wave-like sea.

Occasionally, three or two wild birds flew out of the woods, towards the hills not far away, and flew away quickly, leaving a terrifying cry in mid-air.

The moonlight gradually sprinkled the earth, and there was nothing but silence in all directions......

I don't know how long it took, Chen Yan hid behind the military tent, almost asleep, suddenly Song Zhong pushed himself, and shouted in a low voice: "Boss, look! ”

Chen Yan looked into the distance when he heard the sound, and saw a high hill in the distance, and suddenly poked his head out.

The mound was shining in the moonlight, a silvery white color, and the creature that poked his head out was as alert and swift as a hare.

The head poked left and right, and suddenly learned the call of an owl, "Coo...... Coo-coo......" and shrank back sharply.

Chen Yan immediately came to his senses, he understood that this owl call might be their code, and the robbery of the camp seemed to have begun.

He told Song Zhongdao: "Pass the order, the three armies are on alert, and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

Song Zhong immediately passed the order to his subordinates, and at a time passed on ten, ten to hundred, and in a blink of an eye, the army had entered a state of combat readiness.

Suddenly, I heard another owl's cry behind the high hill, "Coo...... "Chen Yan didn't dare to slack off, and followed the prestige, and two heads suddenly came out ......from behind the high hill.

The two heads, no more than ten paces apart, looked around like hares, and after a moment, suddenly reached out and beckoned behind them.

After that, the two heads jumped on the high hill, and then shouted in unison: "Goo...... Goo Goo ......"

Gradually, the earth began to tremble slightly, and only the rather muffled sound of horses' hooves could be heard. From this tremor, it can be seen that the cavalry unit has approached Chen Yan's military camp, but there is no smoke and dust to be seen, and it is conceivable that the hooves of the war horses of Duan Xuan's cavalry troops are likely to have been covered with a layer of cloth.

At this moment, I saw a human head suddenly appear on the high hill again, and immediately after that, there was a second, a third, and a myriad of them, and a cavalry brigade rushed out from behind the mound, and in the light of the moon, it looked magnificent!

They are all tall, sturdy, and the war horses under their crotches are as powerful as swimming dragons, it is conceivable that this is the Xiliang cavalry under Duan Xuan!

The camp is coming!

Seeing that the time had come, Chen Yan pretended to be surprised and shouted, "The enemy is coming!" Wake up, everyone! The camp is coming! ”

Song Zhong led a group of Yue cavalry camps, and immediately followed Chen Yan and shouted: "The enemy is coming to rob the camp!" The camp is coming! Hurry up! ”

The cavalry troops over there had obviously fallen for Chen Yan's strategy, and seeing that Chen Yan and the others were so panicked, they didn't say a word, but came to the camp gate.

Chen Yan turned over and ordered Song Zhongdao: "Old Song, you go and take two hundred brothers to set fire, and the rest will follow me to lure the enemy!" ”

Song Zhong nodded, and rode away without saying a word.

Chen Yan looked at the countless cavalry outside the barracks, swallowed and spit, carried the halberd, rode out, and shouted angrily: "Bold fanatics! How dare you rob my camp! ”

The cavalry was not afraid of Chen Yan, a young general with weak strength, and saw the cavalry leader a strong general rushing straight over, dancing with a long knife, and slashing at Chen Yan with his head and face.

Not to be outdone, Chen Yan greeted him with a long halberd, and compared with each other, he blocked the blow.

That Xiao general didn't expect Chen Yan's hand to be strong, the long knife was withdrawn, and Le Ma stared at Chen Yan. looked up and down, and then asked, "You are Chen Yan?" ”
