Volume 4, Chapter 25: Raiding the Camp in the Dead of Night
A burst of flying sand and rocks swept outside the city of Xiangcheng, Qin Tian dragged a wounded leg and slowly retreated, seeing that the city gate behind him had been completely closed, but the enemy in front of him was pressing forward step by step, and the current situation was very critical.
On the other side, Tang Tianze, who was above the city tower, walked out of the big tent and saw his brother suffering, and he suddenly felt very dissatisfied with Tengjun's move.
Tang Tianze accused: "How did my brother Qin lead a thousand people to deal with Zhao Lin's 50,000 soldiers and horses, Marshal Teng, do you have any suspicion of communiqué personal vendetta when you do this?"
Teng Jun's eyes were sharp, his words were aggressive, and he said: "Ben Shuai sent General Qin to fight this time just to scare off the Zhao soldiers with the martial arts of General Qin, but he never thought that General Qin just came to the front of the battle and saw Zhao Lin brave, so he retreated without a fight, which seriously affected the morale of our army, Ben Shuai just closed the city gate and wanted him to come forward to fight, our army will win the battle against the water, General Tang does not have to worry."
The flag of Qi Guoshi fluttered in the wind above the city, but seeing the fierce look of the commander Tengjun, Tang Tianze was very nervous about this.
The sound of the hooves of Zhao Guojin's iron horse was getting closer and closer to Xiangcheng, and the tenacious spears were already ready to attack Qin Tian and the others.
After a while, Tang Tianze already had a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but now the enemy is strong and I am weak, and what he has to do now is to order the crossbowmen to repel the enemy's vanguard first.
"Crossbowmen are ready, and when the enemy soldiers come within range of our crossbows, they will be killed."
Tang Tianze shouted, waved his big hand, and the soldiers standing in the back row with bows and crossbows quickly followed.
Because of Zhao Lin's martial arts, Qin Tianshi was difficult to match him, and there was no way, so he could only retreat continuously.
And Zhao Lin's soldiers always maintained a momentum of chasing after each other, and the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Qi State who fought this time now have no fighters, their bodies are shaking, their eyes are staring at the door behind them, and many people are already in a state of extreme panic and want to escape.
At this moment, Zhao Lin had already led Zhao Guo's soldiers into the range of the crossbowmen in the city tower, Tang Tianze frowned, his right hand was raised again, and seeing that the opportunity to retreat from the enemy was at this moment, the pressure in his heart instantly became a lot greater.
"Shoot the arrows"!
With a loud shout, the soldiers drew their crossbows and put their bows and arrows on the shelves, ready to fire.
Suddenly, a loud roar from the commander Tengjun stopped the crossbowmen from firing their arrows.
Tang Tianze shook his head puzzled when he saw this situation, watching the crossbowmen put down the bow, he felt very angry in his heart, and looked at Teng Jun with a hideous look on his face, he seemed to have understood everything.
Teng Jun's behavior was to kill Qin Tian and immortalize his position in the Qi State, because Tang Tianze knew that the two of them had been treated favorably by Tian Heng, the king of Qi, when they first arrived in the Qi State, Teng Jun was ruthless, how could they let the two of them be so favored in front of Tian Heng.
Tang Tianze shouted at Teng Jun with a long face: "Teng Jun, if you don't release the arrows, General Qin's situation will become extremely dangerous, could it be that you are bent on getting rid of Qin Tian?"
Teng Jun shook his head, his eyes rolled from time to time, watching Tang Tianze yelling in front of him, he had no choice but to respond: "Qin Tian is unwilling to serve my Qi country, seeing that Zhao Lin is here, he has repeatedly refused to fight, if you want to save Qin Tian, there is another way."
"What way?" Tang Tianze asked impatiently.
Teng Jun touched his chin, rubbed his right leg on the ground three times, and explained: "Unless General Tang leads another 500 guards to kill him, with your General Tang's bravery, it is easy to kill Zhao Lin, why are you afraid that you can't save a Qin general?"
When Tang Tianze heard this, he immediately looked at him angrily with round eyes, and responded: "General Ben used to be a villager in the marginal village, but as long as I am in the marginal village for a day, the thieves on Pishan Mountain will not dare to go down the mountain to slaughter the village, and they can be called the heroes of the marginal villages.
After three laughs, Tang Tianze led five hundred guards to kill forward, and the momentum of the five hundred guards was like a rainbow, and there was no ambiguity in the posture of going into battle to kill the enemy.
All of a sudden, the Zhao army had retreated twenty miles after three defeats in a row, and returned to his camp for the time being.
At ten o'clock, the soldiers on both sides ate their dinner, and according to the spies, there was no sign of a siege within thirty miles to the east.
The faint light of fireflies shone on the flowers and trees outside Xiangcheng, Teng Jun sat on the tower and touched the yellow letter handed to him by his father, very worried in his heart, if Qin Tian and Tang Tianze defeated Zhao Lin's army, with the strange and changeable personality of Zhao Qin, the king of Zhao, maybe his father would be killed this time?
Qin Tiantang Tianze and the two set up tents under Xiangcheng to rest at this time, and soon after, the two learned from the herald who was looking for information in front that the Zhao army had the intention of retreating tonight, but if Zhao Lin successfully retreated, then the merit of retreating from the enemy would be obtained by Teng Jun alone, how could this make the two of them happy?
So looking at the silent night twenty miles away, the two decided to rob the camp before the Zhao army retreated, and hit the enemy army by surprise, and it was best to cut off Zhao Lin's head and sacrifice it to the king of Qi.
At the moment, just as the soldiers of the barracks entered the dream realm, the two of them set off with two hundred light cavalry.
Came to the front of the Zhao camp, seeing that the camp was brightly lit and quiet, and there were three teams of patrols outside the camp with more than 20 people patrolling the night cautiously, Qin Tian smiled awe-inspiringly, he didn't expect that the Zhao army's defense before retreating would be so lax, he held a sword in his right hand, and looked at the soldiers beside him who were ready to continue, so he had the intention of robbing the camp.
And Tang Tianze, who was squatting on the side, was very cautious at the moment, and he whispered in Qin Tian's ear: "Brother Qin, Zhao Lin is extremely brave, how can he fall for our trick so easily, or let's take a look, Hugh will fall for Zhao Lin's tricks"?
When all the soldiers heard this, they nodded one after another, the scene in front of Zhao Ying was really quiet, quiet and even terrifying.
A gust of wind blew, and the sound of flowers and trees blowing outside Zhao Ying became particularly eye-catching.
In order to prevent the matter from being revealed, Tang Tianze frowned tightly and waved his right hand, and more than 200 people bypassed the night patrol soldiers and came to the rear of the Zhao camp.
"Let's go", the two glanced at each other, and walked lightly to the back of the camp.
Looking at the thirty tents in front of them, the soldiers got up one after another to inspect, this time for them there was only one goal, that is, to kill Zhao Lin, cut off Zhao Lin's head and throw it in the palace of the King of Qi, so that Zhao would never dare to attack Qi again.
