Three Kingdoms

The sky has gradually darkened, but in a military camp camping in the wild, nature is still very energetic. The Qingqi who went out for patrol came back staggeringly and met the patrolling soldiers outside their camp. They greeted each other with a smile and chatted about various topics.

The non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level loudly gave orders in front of the tents under their jurisdiction, instructing the soldiers to place the tents according to the military camp standards set by General Zhengxi. There are many war horses under Fei Qian's command, so not only the placement of people must be considered, but also the arrangement of the war horses must be considered. And speaking of it, war horses are more troublesome than people. Not only do they need to replenish fodder, but they also need to put a layer of hay on the war horses. Otherwise, the war horses will easily get sick due to moisture from dew.

Although the military camp requires solemn silence, the problem is that there are so many war horses in Fei Qian's army. Although the animals are humane, they still don't understand human rules. They neigh long and short, making this camp look extra special. lively.

It was time for the soldiers who had won the battle to have dinner. The young men who had followed all the way from Taiyuan and had been reimbursed for joining the army happily helped with heavy tasks such as woodcutting and setting up stoves, and began to prepare the evening meal for the army.

Cooking in this era is not a simple task. It is impossible to make a stove, collect firewood, and fetch water without a certain amount of time. Therefore, it is convenient to set up a large camp to provide water and firewood, and in this era, everything requires manpower, let alone take-out. It is just like the Spring Festival in later generations. When the manpower is gone, half of the people in the city will go hungry...

Of course, the higher-level generals don't care much about these matters. These people have already gathered in Fei Qian's Chinese army tent, waiting for Fei Qian to give the next stage of combat orders.

After winning a battle, they drove the high officials into the stronghold and cut off most of Yuan Jun's right-wing troops. All the generals and commanders, including Zhang Xiu, were beaming with joy. Soldiers, of course they like to win battles no matter what.

Everyone gathered together, wearing helmets and armor, waiting in Feiqian's tent. Everyone had smiles on their faces and speculations in their hearts. Is the next step to encircle or fight? But no matter what, Yuan Jun's army has lost its vigor and morale. It is not too difficult to encircle or attack the stronghold. Therefore, everyone is very relaxed. Even Zhang Xiu, who still has a punishment waiting to be removed, feels that his shoulders are much lighter.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and then Huang Xu took the lead and walked over from the back tent, standing aside with a solemn expression. Everyone immediately stood in awe, cupped their hands and said: "Welcome General!"

Fei Qian followed Huang Xu out of the back tent with long strides. The iron armor on his body made a small clashing sound with his footsteps. He quickly looked around at everyone. When he saw that everyone was standing in an orderly manner, he smiled and nodded. Said: "Sit down, everyone. This battle was well fought. You are all lucky. When you return to Pingyang, you will be rewarded according to your merit! By the way, Zi Jing said some time ago that it was the wine that was stored in the cellar last year. It's almost healed. When we get back, we'll each take a jar."

"Wow!"

They are all senior men in the military. Apart from women, their favorite thing is drinking. Especially when adrenaline surges from time to time, they need alcohol to numb themselves. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, it was not just Mr. Zhang who liked drinking. Most generals and colleges have some special preferences for drinks.

"Zao Cong Cao's wine...hiss..." Wei Du drooled.

Zao Zhi's name is still very famous, and because he has dozens of acres of experimental fields in Pingyang, the rice and corn collected in these fields are only part of himself and given to Fei Qian for a taste, leaving plenty of seeds. , and most of the rest are used to make wine.

Fenshui is used to make wine, which may be the Fenjiu of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, it is good and very popular.

In the big tent, when they heard Fei Qian's joke, everyone knew that Fei Qian was in a good mood, so everyone couldn't help but start talking about it, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

There was a table in the middle of the big tent. There was only a simple wooden diagram on top of the table, stamped in the middle. Because this wooden map was made temporarily, it was almost crude to the extreme. It only marked the mountains and rivers near the stronghold where they were facing, and nothing else.

Fei Qian also smiled, and after waiting for a while, he gently knocked on the wooden diagram. Everyone understood and immediately stared at Fei Qian with bright eyes, waiting for Fei Qian's order.

In addition to Zhang Xiu, there were also Gong Jun, Wei Du, and several military lords and village chiefs. At this time, they all looked at Fei Qian and the wooden drawings on the tables.

Fei Qian pointed to the mark on the wooden diagram, briefly talked about the surrounding situation, then knocked on the wooden board and said, "This is the situation in general. Do you have any ideas?"

Gong Jun rolled his eyes a few times and said, "Does the prince want to attack at night?"

"Oh? Tell me?" Fei Qian said with a smile.

Gong Jun licked his lips and became a little excited. Ever since he discovered that he was quite good at night raids, he became more and more fond of night raids. He even felt more excited at night. Seeing Fei Qian ask , and said quickly: "I have seen it. Although the three sides of the mountain stronghold are steep and cannot be walked, for my men, it is like flat ground... Hehehehe, climb up, touch it, light a fire, it's like playing... "

Fei Qian nodded and said, "That's right. In normal times, a night attack would be a good choice, but today...well, if you touch it, it probably won't work..."

Gong Jun was stunned: "Why?"

Fei Qian smiled slightly, knocked on the wooden board, and felt a bit like explaining PPT to new employees in later generations, and said: "Take another look..."

The simple battlefield plan is like the advanced calculus series written on the blackboard in the classroom of later generations. It looks weird, and it is even weirder when done...

Fei Qian waited for a long time, but no one answered. They all shrank their heads, and then quickly turned away when their eyes met.

"Alas..." Fei Qian sighed and said, "Go back and all go to the martial arts hall to study for ten days! In the future, if you have the opportunity, you will have to stand alone. How can you not use your own brains? We are here now, and the camp is very loosely arranged. ...from here to here...our Chinese military tent is here, and then Yuan Jun's stronghold is here..."

Fei Qian knocked on the wooden board and saw the location of the right wing of the formation listed by the senior cadre, which was close to the mountainous area, and said: "I deliberately did not send anyone to this place, nor did I alert the Yuan troops in the mountains... Okay. Well, if you were the commander-in-chief of Yuan Jun, what would you do now?"

"Breakout!" Zhang Xiu blurted out.

Fei Qian nodded and said, "What's the reason?"

"...This... our army's camp is loose. We can use a small number of troops to pretend to attack here. If we can capture it, the larger troops will join the attack. If we can't capture it, we will turn to join Yuan's army in the mountainous area and retreat into the valley... It's better than being besieged here..." Zhang Xiu stumbled a bit, but in general he expressed it clearly.

Fei Qian clapped softly and said: "Yes, this is exactly what I have considered. Yuan Jun's army is surrounded, and it must either stick to it or break out. It is obviously impossible to hold on, so it is better to break out earlier than to break out so late, leaving the mountain road behind. One opening means surrounding three buildings, so... Lieutenant Gong, you know that if you attack the stronghold at night tonight, there is a high probability that... well, it is very likely what will happen, right?"

Gong Jun laughed twice and said: "Well, there must be a lot of people with their necks straightened, watching us climb over the wall..."

"Haha, that's right. So now..." Fei Qian smiled, then his smile faded, and he said seriously, "Generals, obey the order!"

Zhang Xiu and others quickly stood up and responded in unison. For a moment, the tent was filled with murderous intent...

…………………………

At midnight.

The swaying torches on Yuan Jun's stronghold were extinguished at some point. Groups of soldiers emerged from the darkness as quietly as possible, and then gathered at the foot of the mountain.

A leader of the team looked back, then pulled out his sword, whispered an order, and led the Yuan Jun forwards who had come out of the camp to rush towards the Feiqian camp.

Compared with the soldiers in Sichuan, the soldiers in Jizhou may have more abundant food, so they seem to be stronger in terms of physique and function. They don't have as many night blindness as the thin soldiers in Sichuan.

General Zhengxi's camp was very large, with antlers and other items scattered sparsely, and the entire camp was quiet. Yuan Junqu looked and looked again, finally gritted his teeth, took long strides, and rushed towards Fei Qian's camp!

When they arrived within the range illuminated by the torches of the Zhengxi Camp, these Yuan Jun forwards had already relaxed their speed and throats, shouting and clamoring to embolden themselves and encourage their comrades around them to sweep away the antlers. , moved away the horse, like a wasp emerging from its nest, and rushed into Fei Qian's camp with a bang!

Sitting in the camp, Wei Du, who was wearing heavy armor and squinting his eyes, heard the shouts coming from the front. He opened his eyes, picked up the battle ax at his feet, and stood up. , laughed loudly: "The meat delivery guy is here! Line up! Line up!"

Amidst Wei Du's shouts, the heavily armored infantrymen also smiled and stood around Wei Du with a crisp sound of iron pieces hitting each other. The banner of the Zhengxi Central Army was flying high behind this group of heavily armored infantry, giving the best direction guidance to Yuan Jun who rushed into the camp. It was also the poisonous honey full of death, luring Yuan Jun into it.

Crazy shouts suddenly broke out in the Feiqianzhong military camp. The few sergeants on duty at high places still fulfilled their responsibilities. They drew their bows and fired arrows, sounded the gold warning, and at the same time shouted towards the camp: "The enemy is attacking. ! Enemy attack!”

Scattered arrows fell from the sky, and some unlucky Yuan Jun soldiers were shot and fell to the ground with a scream.

However, most of the Yuan Army's forwards still gritted their teeth and rushed forward, not caring about counterattacking the sentry towers in the distance. They just roared at the top of their lungs, pushed down, smashed, and cut off the not very strong camp fences, and then dispersed. He drove up and rushed into the first dozen tents, slashing them with a knife without hesitation. He also kicked down the torches at the entrance of the tents or threw them on top of the tents...

If a camp that is normally unprepared is suddenly attacked, then there will naturally be soldiers running around in the camp. There will also be soldiers who have not yet put on armor and will jump out grabbing their weapons. There will also be those corps commanders at all levels and so on. Long queues and so on, rushed out in chaos, shouting orders, and mixed into a ball, but it made it harder for people to hear clearly.

However, when this group of Yuan troops who rushed into the camp cut into the tent, they found that except for the shouting of their own soldiers, there seemed to be no other noise around!

After these Yuan troops cut through the empty tent and rushed out from the other end, they found that instead of the chaotic situation they had expected, they saw heavily armored infantry that had been lined up in an array, standing like demons under the moonlight. In the open space behind the tent.

A creepy feeling suddenly spread. The Yuan Jun soldiers who were shouting and waving their swords and guns seemed to have rushed into a pile of glue one by one. Not only their movements, but also their voices became slower...

"Aha! We're here, welcome!" Wei Du blew out a long stream of white air from behind his ferocious mask and said in a strange voice, "Come on! Everyone, lie down!"

"Buzz!"

The tomahawk soared high and then fell at an even faster speed! With a diagonal sweep, those Yuan Jun infantry who had been pushed forward by the following crowd were suddenly half shorter!

When the forward Yuan Jun started to attack, the senior officials, under the protection of the guards, left the stronghold and headed towards the mountain.

Staring at the forward Yuan Jun rushing in, the senior guards couldn't help but waved their fists excitedly and said, "Great! Rush in!"

Gao Gan looked a little excited at first and led the troops forward for a while. Just when he was about to follow Yuan Jun's forward, his heart suddenly shrank and the muscles in his cheeks twitched. He quickly pulled the reins and almost gave up. The guards behind him were put on.

Gao Gan opened his eyes wide and looked around carefully, and suddenly found that except for the Zhengxi camp that was attacked, the rest of the Zhengxi camp was silent, as if it had no connection and was ready to stand by...

Although the screams were endless, Gao Gan listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt that the screams in the camp seemed to be the voices of his own soldiers, and a large area of ​​​​camps in Zhengxi blocked the front, as if they were hiding in Like a ferocious beast in the darkness, it was quietly opening its huge mouth, just waiting for him to walk into its mouth, and then swallow him with all his bones in one fell swoop!

"You've been tricked! Hurry! Get out!" Gao Gan quickly turned his horse's head in the direction of the mountain road. Seeing that the guards surrounding him were still at a loss, he had no time to explain, so he just kicked the horse's belly with all his strength, and fell into despair. Escape, just like a group of ferocious beasts rushing out of the Zhengxi Camp.

"Hahaha! Let's go there!"

The war drums rumbled, and a group of cavalry from Zhengxi rushed out, obliquely blocking the Gao Gan's retreat to the mountain stronghold, and with it, Yuan Jun who was lagging behind was cut into two sections!

"Hurry! Hurry into the valley!" Gao Gan did not have the courage to resist, and did not even dare to look back. He just wanted to quickly gather with the soldiers in the valley and then escape back to Zhongmou, so he rode hard and drove his horse He displayed 120% of his skills in all his skills, and even used his long sword to make a sharp cut on the horse's butt to stimulate the horse to speed up.

"General Gao, please stay!" At this moment, many torches suddenly lit up in the distance, like a fire dragon with teeth and claws, and like a large unfolded net, coming towards here, a clear voice It rang in the night sky, "It was a long night, tossing and turning, and General Gao just left like this. Could it be that Fei was not treating his guests well?"

After Fei Qian finished shouting, he waved his hand leisurely, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "Then, I'll give you a chance, can you make the difference..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiu had already rushed out on horseback, waving his spear and shouting loudly: "If we can't capture the enemy general! I won't have the face to see the general again! My sons, follow me!"

Fei Qian smiled slightly, then looked up at the sky. A bright moon hung high in the night sky. It was a cool autumn day...
