Two hundred and sixteenth major counterattack

At night, the valley was silent, and a black figure quietly crossed the guard and sneaked out of Cao's camp, rushed into the mountains under the cover of the night, and headed straight for the Qin army camp.

Ying Zheng and Zhang Han and other military generals were discussing military information in the tent, but suddenly they heard someone coming to report that the guards of the camp caught a spy who was visiting the camp at night.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and quickly ordered the troops not to be rude and wait for him to go for interrogation in person. He hurriedly got up and drove out with Zhang Han.

When he arrived at the camp gate, he saw a man wearing Tang army armor surrounded by hundreds of Qin soldiers with bows and arrows outside the camp. The man's head was raised high, as if he didn't take the enemy around him seriously at all.

Although the night was dark and I couldn't see clearly, with the daytime information, Ying Zheng immediately knew the identity of the visitor. He bowed and smiled from a distance: "General Ying Bu, Zheng has been famous for a long time. He went to my camp alone at night, but what advice does Cao Mengde and Cao have to pass on to us?"

Ying Bu was holding back the pain of being beaten and pretending to be mighty. He was in a bad mood. He heard Ying Zheng's sarcastic greeting, and he snorted coldly, "I can't make it under the hands of Short Man Cao. I'll come to join you Daqin, or not to accept the words?"

After being beaten by the Rising Day, he was impatient to go out of the camp that night. Even if Ying Zheng saw him again, he couldn't help but mutter.

Zhang Han did not have much scruples. Seeing Ying Zheng's face hesitation, he advised: "This Ying Bu was originally a green forest hero in the mountains. He was persuaded by the Tang general Zhao Zilong to join Fang Li. Such a person is loyal, not loyal. According to rumors, since he was transferred to Cao Mengde's command, there were many disagreements with the main generals. There were even rumors that this Ying Bu was the nail sent by Fang Li to Cao Mengde. Now that Cao Mengde has changed his position in Tang, he certainly cannot tolerate the existence of this person."

Ying Zheng suddenly felt it was reasonable. Although Na Yingbu's face was a little pale because he was beaten by fifty military sticks, he still looked angry. He was not as trembling as a rebel from the ordinary person who came to the stake. Instead, he was righteous and unruly, and even more admired it.

According to the news sent back by Ji Cheng, Ying Bu showed dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's independence at the beginning, but he was tolerant and did not say anything. There was no doubt that this person was loyal to Fang Li. Seeing that Cao Cao actually let Fang Li's corpse go in the wild, he left the Tang army, who was still a comrade not long ago, but had no intention of rescue and revenge at all. It was indeed reasonable for Ying Bu to leave.

There was only a little doubt. Ying Zheng asked patiently: "Governor Cao is very unfair to General Ying Bu. The general understands this inferior policy very well. But my Qin is the real culprit of shooting and killing Mr. Tang. If the general wants to leave, why don't he find another master and come to my Qin?"

When he came, Cao Cao and others had already spoken to questions that Ying Zheng and others might ask. Seeing that Ying Zheng had indeed asked, Ying Bu couldn't help but be very grateful, and at the same time, he secretly admired Cao Cao's plan.

I saw a trace of gloom flashing across Ying Bu's face, and the nine-foot man's eyes turned red: "Qin Tang was the enemy, and there was no eye on the battlefield. The lord died in battle under the siege of you. There is no feud. Good birds choose trees to live on, so Bu came to join him."

Speaking of this, Ying Bu turned his tone and his eyes were full of anger: "But Cao Mengde was favored by Gong Tang, and he entrusted important tasks every time, and even handed over the entire Liang Kingdom to him to guard. Now that the lord is dead, Cao Mengde can only be independent, but he even abandoned the lord's corpse and capital. I, Ying Bu, will never forgive me!"

This statement is reasonable. Although Ying Zheng was still suspicious, he had already believed it for most of the time. He immediately waved his hand to let the troops disperse, personally held Ying Bu's arm, and welcomed the people into the tent.

Under the premise of Fang Li's death, neither Zhang Han nor Ying Zheng could think of the purpose of Ying Bu's bitter meat plan to surrender?

Although Cao Cao had many elite soldiers and generals, he had never completely taken Fang Li's power into his pocket. That little force was like a drop in the ox in front of the Qin Dynasty. How could he have set a life-and-death enemy for himself at such a critical moment of independence?

After entering the tent, Zhang Han ordered people to bring dry food and medicine for Yingbu, and comforted him with kind words: "General Yingbu is a talented general. His father's reputation for love is known to the world. When the general returns to Xianyang to meet Duke Qin, he will know that he will serve my great Qin, which is no worse than being under Duke Tang."

Ying Zheng nodded with a smile while observing Ying Bu's reaction carefully.

When Ying Bu heard this, he was neither overjoyed nor pretended to be noble, but he just put forward the three conditions for surrender.

First: In accordance with the etiquette of the lord of a country, he was buried with a grand ceremony.

Second: The Tang army surrounded in the valley should not be killed indiscriminately.

Third: Although Ying Bu surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, he would never be enemies of any old subordinates of the Tang Kingdom except Cao Cao.

Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and agreed to the letter, and he believed in Ying Bu's surrender.

After leaving the tent, Ying Bu followed a deputy general of the Qin army to the tent prepared for him. Without thanking him, he crawled in with a short body. Before entering, he looked down at the valley worriedly, obviously because he was concerned about his former companion.

Not long after, a sudden riot came from Cao's camp. The torches lit up and shone around the camp as daylight. Countless soldiers were coming and going, obviously searching for someone.

After hearing the news, Ying Zheng and Zhang Han looked at each other and recognized Ying Bu's skills a little.

No one noticed that a man in black broke out of the Cao army brigade in the chaos and disappeared into the bushes in a blink of an eye. After a while, he appeared in front of Jia Xu and others again.

But Ying Bu immediately changed his expression as soon as he entered the tent and left Qin Jun's sight. His original sorrow and anger disappeared, his eyes were turned alertly, and his ears were pressed against the edge of the account, as if he was waiting for something to happen.

At the third update, Zhang Han was about to order people to harass the Tang army routinely. Suddenly, he heard the sound of killing at the foot of the mountain soaring into the sky. He hurriedly called someone to ask, but the Tang army, who should have been exhausted in the valley, took the initiative to attack.

This was the first active attack that the Qin army encountered in the past few days.

"It seems that the Tang army has finally reached its limit." Ying Zheng smiled, "I would like to ask General Zhang to take charge and defeat the last spirit of the Tang army in one fell swoop."

Zhang Han held his fists and agreed, and came out of the tent with great enthusiasm. This was the last battle, and the battle of trapped beasts was particularly fierce, so he finally got to go into battle to kill the enemy himself.

A personal soldier came to ask if he should inform Ying Bu. Ying Zheng shook his head, "He just surrendered, so there is no need to ask him to join the war for the time being!"

Ying Zheng had already decided that if Lu Bu and others insisted on not surrendering, they would have to kill him on the spot. Such a scene would never be seen by Ying Bu.

By then, the road is ready, as long as you comfort me well, I believe Ying Bu can't say anything. As for the resentment in his heart, there is still time to find remedies when returning to Qin.

The personal soldiers took the order and stood back to the "guard" outside the Yingbu tent, but they didn't know that after the chaos, the tent was already empty. They just stuffed something on the bed, pretending to be sleeping soundly on the bed.

In the Qin army's rear camp, piles of food and grass were stored in several inconspicuous tents. Although Ji State occasionally provided support, it was impossible for him to promise to bear all the food of the Qin army. The main food of the Qin army was still stored in the rear camp.

The Tang army was besieged at the foot of the mountain from the beginning. Not to mention attacking up the mountain, it was very difficult to even defend the Qin army's attack. Therefore, Zhang Han did not place too many troops in the rear battalion. Even if Cao Cao's army strengthened its defense after coming, it would only be three thousand soldiers.

Taking advantage of the formation of a group at the foot of the mountain, the Qin army in the battalion was in chaos. Ying Bu, who had put on the Qin army uniform, swaggered to the tent where the food was placed, and then he met the deputy general who guarded the food was investigated for the first time.

The general was wearing light armor, looking only in his thirties. His bean eyes narrowed and looked up and down the Yingbu: "Who are you? Why have I never seen me?"

Time is hard to wait. Ying Bu is in the mood to argue with a little deputy general. At that moment, he pulled out the opponent's waist knife and cut off his head. The deputy general of the Qin army instantly had a different body and head.

The Qin army around them were shocked and shouted "Enemy attack" and rushed forward, trying to use the sea of ​​people to kill Ying Bu.

Yingbu was born as a bandit, but he did not fight against the Qin army head-on, dodging left and right as if slipping like a loach. From time to time, he suddenly appeared behind a Qin army and grabbed a torch. With a wave of his hand, tents were submerged in the sea of ​​fire.

The Qin army, whose deputy generals had no heads, were shocked and anxious. At this time, the main generals were all fighting in front of them without command. Some people hurriedly brought buckets to try to put out the fire. Some people shouted that they would take Ying Bu off first, and it was a mess. Instead, Ying Bu used the night to protect him from the Qin army's camp.

When Ying Zheng learned the news and led his troops to aid, Ying Bu had long disappeared without a trace, leaving only Ying Zheng so angry that he smoked from his orifices.

The Qin soldiers, who had already suppressed the Tang army's offensive at the foot of the mountain suddenly heard a chaos in the rear, followed by a shout of "food and grass being burned". The morale of the army was in chaos, and they were caught off guard by only a few thousand remaining Tang soldiers and retreated step by step.

Zhang Han also heard the shouts from behind, yelling that the troops should not be panicked and wiped out the enemies in front of him first. As for food and grass, let Ji Guo send them again.

Ying Zheng in the rear also had the same idea as Zhang Han. Since all the food and grass were destroyed, he simply turned around and rushed to the Tang army with the three thousand soldiers guarding the rear battalion. The Qin army's offensive became fierce again.

But how could Cao Cao give the Qin army a chance to revive its strength? Seeing that the fire in the mountains arrived as scheduled, the 30,000 troops who had already been impatient were already out of their way out. Under the command of generals such as Gao Shun, Li Dian, and Le Jin, they launched a charge towards the Qin army from the side.

Cao Cao led a thousand elite cavalry to stay in the camp, always vigilant about movements from Baishui Pass to prevent the Ji State from causing chaos. As the saying goes, the intention of guarding against others is necessary.

"The soldiers killed me, attacked the Qin bandits, killed Zhao Zheng, and promoted the power of our Tang army!"
