One day later, Pingdan (3:00).

In the depths of winter, there is still a long time before dawn in Xiuyu City at three o'clock in the morning.

The dark clouds in the sky obscured the moonlight and starlight, making the surroundings of Xiuyu City pitch black.

But under this deep night, there were more than a thousand bamboo baskets at the head of Xiuyu City, and in each bamboo basket sat a well-armored Zhao State soldier.

The people on the city wall silently slowly relaxed the rope, dropped the bamboo basket to the bottom of the city, and hurriedly pulled the bamboo basket up, allowing another Zhao soldier to sit in the basket.

In this way, 5,500 soldiers of Zhao arrived outside the city without opening the city gates and without alarming the Qin army.

Qingshe's right hand tied with red cloth was raised high, and the five two or five hundred lords immediately centered on Qingshe, each in formation.

Still didn't speak, Qing She gestured behind him, and slowly walked towards the direction of Qin Jun with his waist bent.

Each of the 5,500 soldiers had a stone in his mouth, forcing himself to never open his mouth to speak, and followed behind Qingshe lightly.

When the Zhao army arrived two miles outside the Qin army's barracks, the scouts patrolling the camp finally sensed that something was wrong.

"Who?!"

Hearing the scout's shouting, Qingshe spit out the stone in his mouth and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, attack the camp!" ”

5,500 Zhao Jun, who had been suppressed for a long time, spit out the stones and shouted: "Kill! ”

In the midst of shouting, five two or five hundred lords led the soldiers under their command to crash into the Qin army camp like five long dragons.

With mental calculation or unintentional, the outer defensive circle of the Qin army was broken through as soon as possible.

kicked open the wooden fence, and Qingshe broke off the order: "Pour oil, set fire!" ”

"Since Qin Jun likes fire, let's give them a big one!"

A Zhao soldier held a torch and laughed as he sprinkled the tung oil he carried on the military tent beside him.

But before Sergeant Zhao could light the fire, a spear pierced the tent and pierced his head!

The spear was withdrawn into the tent with a mixture of red and white, the curtain opened, and the chief dog stepped out.

Drew his sword and cut off the head of the Zhao army, and then looked at the other Zhao soldiers who were setting fires, and the dog turned around and scolded angrily: "I'm so afraid!" ”

"Great military exploits are sent to the door, do you still want to refuse them?"

The four recruits, armed with spears, cautiously walked out of the tent and saw Gou Yu tying a head around his waist.

Sensing the sight of the recruits, Gou Yu patted his head and said with a smile: "Look, the first level of merit." ”

"Rapid formation, with a certain ...... Don't run! ”

The dog was mobilizing, and when he saw those Zhao Jun scattering tung oil and throwing out torches, they ran out.

With four recruits, the dog rushed towards Zhao Jun with his legs.

And beside Gou Yu, there are many Qin troops who chased and killed together.

When Meng Wu arrived at the front army as soon as he arrived, he saw a sea of fire burning around the front army barracks, but the structure of the barracks that had been used as a flame isolation zone early made the sea of fire confined to the outermost circle of camp tents and did not spread further.

The Zhao army had completely withdrawn from the barracks, and a large number of Qin troops did not even light torches, so they followed the Zhao army and ran towards Xiuyu City.

Du Wei Xifeng asked in a deep voice: "General, what should I do?" ”

Meng arbitrarily shouted: "Mingjin retreats, all torches are lit for this general!" ”

"The front army thoroughly investigates whether there is a foreign enemy infiltrating, and counts the losses of soldiers!"

The copper cymbal rang, and the dog stopped helplessly: "His mother, if you weren't too timid, maybe I would be able to worship the Lord today!" ”

The four recruits also followed the dog in frustration, regretting that they had lost a great opportunity.

Just as they were about to apologize to Gou Yu, they found that Zhao Jun, who had been chased by them before, turned around and turned back and killed them again!

The recruit immediately asked, "Captain, do you want to deal with the enemy?" ”

Listening to the sound of the copper cymbals that had not stopped, the dog was left to scold angrily: "What a fart!" ”

"The cymbals have sounded, and the whole army will withdraw!"

"Run!"

The Qin army that chased out of the camp was more than 3,000 people, and if they were ready for battle, they would not lose too much if they fought with 5,500 Zhao troops.

But under the order to withdraw, no one dared to turn back and kill.

The brave man can only be chased and killed by Zhao Jun like a lamb!

"Kill Qin Dog!"

"Don't run in front of the general, who dares to be offside, cut and decided!"

Qingshe ran at the forefront, using himself as a baseline, forbidding any Zhao Jun to cross him.

After a shot pierced the front door of a Qin army, Qingshe saw that the Qin army's military camp was close in front of him, and Meng Wu had already ridden out and was about to lead the army out of the camp.

Wiping the blood off his face, Qingshe smiled and shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

At the sound of an order, the Zhao army quickly retreated.

This time, Zhao Jun did not turn back, and poured all the way into Xiuyu City along the open city gate.

As soon as he entered the city, Pang Xuan greeted him: "How is it?" ”

Qingshe took off his helmet, and his brain was steaming with visible heat, and he responded with a smile: "General, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”

"Our army burned the outer tents of the enemy, and it is difficult to calculate the capture without time to collect the heads, but at least more than 700 enemies have been killed."

"Our army was killed no more than three hundred."

Pang Xuan asked again: "Has the Qin army ever gone out of the camp to pursue?" ”

Qingshe shook his head: "Some soldiers of the Qin army spontaneously pursued, but the copper cymbals rang suddenly, and the Qin army returned to the camp. ”

"The deputy general of the Qin army, Meng Wu, has reorganized his troops and horses and is about to go out of the camp to pursue, but Xu is the last general is about to retreat, and Meng Wu has not chased out of the camp."

Pang Xuan smiled happily: "It's enough, go and rest." ”

When Qingshe was ordered to leave, Wei Qi couldn't wait to ask: "General Pang, will this method be effective?" ”

Pang Xuan smiled and stroked his beard: "Once or twice may not be effective, but what about three or four times or even more?" ”

"There will definitely be serious problems with the mentality of Chang Anjun and Meng Wu."

"Chang'an Jun was born in the Qin royal family, he is the younger brother of the current King of Qin, and he became famous at a young age and has the merit of destroying the country, he is proud."

Wei Qi earnestly asked: "So Chang'anjun can't help but send troops to fight back?" ”

Pang Xuan smiled and shook his head: "No! ”

"Chang'anjun may or may not fight back."

"But whether it is the ambush of the general after the counterattack or the irritability and depression caused by not counterattacking, it will affect his mentality."

"When there is a flaw in the mentality, mistakes will be made, and mistakes will make the flaws in the mentality even worse."

"For a general, if your heart is in turmoil, defeat will not be far away!"

……

On the other side, the Qin army barracks.

When Ying Chengcheng rushed to the front army from the baggage camp, the Zhao army had completely disappeared into the night.

"General!" Meng Wu bowed his hand and bowed in a deep voice: "Half an hour ago, the enemy army raided our army. ”

"The enemy troops are all dressed in the uniforms of the Zhao army, numbering about 5,000 people, and they are all brave and good at fighting."

"Our army suffered more than 2,000 wounded, mostly burned, 862 killed, and 307 of the enemy's first ranks."

"Three hundred and ninety-eight tents were burned, and there was no other loss."

After listening to Meng Wu's detailed report, Ying Cheng's brows furrowed slightly: "Just withdraw the army immediately after entering the outermost layer." ”

"In the face of our army's pursuing soldiers, do you dare to turn back and fight back?"

Meng Wu nodded in agreement.

Ying Cheng's brows furrowed even deeper: "The enemy is ...... Provocation? Or is it seduction? ”

Suddenly leading the army to retreat when it has been killed to the outermost layer and there is no large-scale damage does not meet the definition of attacking a camp in any military book, let alone completing the operation of burning and bombing the camp.

But how could Pang Xuan do useless things?

Meng Wu nodded lightly: "The last general also thinks that the enemy is provoking. ”

"The enemy general may be using this method to disturb the morale of our army, or to lead the general to retaliate."

"The last general thinks it's the latter."

Ying Chengcheng asked rhetorically: "Why does General Meng think it will be the latter?" ”

Meng Wu said in a deep voice: "The general became famous at a young age, and he won the surname clan, and the pride of the general will not let the general let the enemy attack the camp and be indifferent." ”

"The last general, please calm down and respond to the battle steadily!"

Ying Chengcheng shook his head and looked at Xiuyu City cautiously: "The general thinks that this is Zhao Jun's announcement. ”

"Tell the general with a fire that they're coming!"

"This puts more pressure on Ben Yi!"

Proud?

Why should Ben be proud in front of these generals who have left their names in history!

Ying Cheng asked in a deep voice: "Does General Meng have a way to break the enemy?" ”

Meng Wu shook his head: "When the enemy army first arrived, the last general didn't know much about the enemy army. ”

Ying Cheng bowed slightly: "General Nameng will go and rest first." ”

Meng Wu bowed his hand: "The general has not slept for two days, and the last general will keep vigil tonight." ”

Ying Cheng said solemnly: "No, General Meng went to rest, and he didn't have to get up after dawn." ”

"Keep sleeping, get enough sleep for a day!"

"Wait until this time tomorrow to come out of the tent and take over from Ben in command."

Ying Chengcheng accentuated his tone: "This is a military order!" ”

Meng Wu was full of confusion, but he still gave up his orders: "Only! ”

Sending Meng Wu to sleep, Ying Cheng took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass the order to the front army, the whole army!" ”

An hour later, the sun had not yet risen.

However, the former army of the Qin army had already lined up outside Xiuyu City.

Looking up at the city walls, which were significantly narrower and thinner than Xinzheng City, Ying Chengcheng gave the general an order: "The crossbowmen will advance and line up three times." ”

"Wait for the battalion first, charge!"

More than 1,000 crossbowmen from the front army quickly stepped forward and lined up in a three-round firing formation at a distance of 250 zhang outside Xiuyu City.

With Jiang Ming's order, 1,500 crossbow arrows shot towards Xiuyu City.

The hundred warriors who ascended first also roared: "Go first!" Go first! ”

Looking at the Qin army who was running towards the moat with their shoulders against the cloud ladder, the corners of Pang Xuan's mouth turned up slightly: "The sky is not bright, and the siege is launched on three sides." ”

"Does Peng Chengjun think this is reasonable?"

Wei Qi shook his head resolutely: "This is not in line with the way of military strategy!" ”

Pang Xuan smiled happily: "Not bad." ”

"This is not in line with the way of military strategy, and Chang'anjun's actions prove that he is in a hurry."

Wei Qi said weakly: "Could this be another ploy by Chang Anjun?" ”

Pang Xuan's face was still calm and confident: "This may be Chang Anjun's strategy, but I think Chang'anjun was not ready to show it at this moment." ”

"Changing the original plan due to the general's containment still shows that there is a problem with Chang'anjun's mentality."

"And what we have to do is to continue to expand it along the rift in Chang'anjun's mentality!"

After mentioning a few words, Pang Xuan took a step forward and ordered lightly: "Extinguish all torches." ”

"Crossbowmen aim at the banks of the moat and shoot!"

Wei Qi looked at Pang Xuan adoringly.

Attack the heart for the top, attack the city for the bottom!

The heart is the top, the soldier is the bottom!

General Pang is really talented!
