In the middle of the night, Shatuo soldiers stationed by the Huishui River felt the land under them shaking slightly.

The soldiers who were specifically responsible for listening to Hu Lu during the march sent out a tragic and sharp warning message, "A large number of unidentified cavalry are approaching quickly!"

The Shatuo generals who woke up in their sleep quickly ordered the horns to blow the horns and awaken the soldiers. They also sent cavalry to check the identity of the cavalry, and asked the civilians to immediately push the baggage and grain chariots together to form a chariot array to defend. The order was just passed, and the horns just sounded, but at this moment, the civilians suddenly became chaotic in the camp.

At first, there was just chaos in a corner.

When more than a dozen civilians heard the sound of the horn, they suddenly shouted wildly, like crazy. While shouting and running for life, they were defeated, they began to ignite the food truck next to them and began to set fire to the next.

Immediately afterwards, the entire camp of tens of thousands of people began to light up little by little like fireflies in summer. Every time it lit up, a riot occurred. Such a spark had become a prairie fire when the commander of Shatuo Cheng Huaiyi had not yet fully reacted, sweeping over the entire camp.

In the dark night, the men shouting and setting fires were everywhere, and each of them had a striking white cloth strip on their arms.

"Campaign!"

The generals below rewarded Cheng Huaiyi in this way.

Yingxiao has existed since ancient times. At first, it may be just a soldier’s scream when he was having a nightmare. Then, more people were infected with this hysterical and crazy atmosphere, and then they were completely free from the shackles of military discipline and venting riots.

This kind of "camp roar" often occurs in places like military camps or prisons. Due to the crowded population, small living space, and the mental stress of the entire group is high due to training or vengeance, etc., it is on the verge of collapse. Therefore, on a quiet and dark night, when a soldier or prisoner shouts due to nightmares, it often triggers a chain reaction of others, causing the entire group to fall into a state of hysteria, or even kill each other, and the consequences are often very serious.

At this time, some clear-headed guys often start to pick up guys and get revenge. As many soldiers rely on their fellow townsmen to form gangs, they start to fight. At this time, the officers who usually bully soldiers have become the number one target. In the chaos, everyone is calculating their own accounts and those who should pay off their debts cannot escape. There were many night terrors in ancient Chinese army, namely camp roars.

Camp roars are often disastrous. Once they break out, they can sometimes even directly destroy an army.

At present, the situation in the camp of the civil servants is indeed very similar to the camp. After all, these civil servants were forced to join the army not long ago, and this time they were taken out of the pass to fight. In addition, the air is hot today and I have been tired of marching during the day. I stayed in dense nights, with high temperatures and tensions, and I happened to meet unknown cavalry approaching. When these civil servants who had never fought at all, they paniced for a moment when they heard the war drums at night, they caused more panic. Some guys took the opportunity to cause trouble, which eventually led to the uncontrollable camp roar.

This is a perfect reason.

Cheng Huaiyi believed it, but he didn't know how to control the camp.

Generally, when a whistle occurs, you can only wait for those people to vent and calm down. If it is normal, as long as the Shatu soldiers are not in chaos, it is not terrible for some civilians to be in chaos. At most, you can surround them and let them vent their own venting. When dawn, it will be fine. If you punish some guys at that time, things will be calm.

But at this critical moment, there are cavalry approaching outside and tens of thousands of civilians riots inside, which is a fatal disaster.

Before Cheng Huaiyi could figure out how to deal with this matter, or Cheng Huaiyi had not thought that they would encounter a fierce attack soon.

He had no idea that the unknown cavalry behind him would be the Qin army, and there would be so many.

Just like a ghost suddenly appeared in the dark, a cavalry formation composed of 20,000 cavalry came at a not-so-speed and neatly striking.

The neat and dense red armored cavalry seemed to be a steel wall, and also to be oncoming swords, swords, and rain of guns and arrows.

The dark wings stretched out silently, gloomy and terrifying.

The sound of dry and rippling horse hooves rolled in like thunder falling from the sky. They were like a whirlwind, sweeping across, destroying everything that was blocking in front of them.

In front of this terrifying iron stream, the Khitan tents and horses were vulnerable like paper. The Shatu soldiers who were fleeing in all directions let out a desperate scream, and were crushed by the iron cavalry and steel walls.

Zhang Zimian, Wang Yanzhang was in front, Gao Siji was on the left, Yang Shihou was on the right, Song Wen was behind, and four generals led 20,000 cavalry to roll in. This light cavalry army that had already returned to Yunzhou was suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Shatuo people, which was very far away from Yunzhou and very far away from Yanmen.

In the middle of the night, a total of 20,000 light cavalry launched an attack from the southeast, rolling the thousands of Shatu people in front of them into pieces. Then, they rushed forward like a bamboo shoot and continued to charge.

The success of several days made Cheng Huaiyi and most Shatuo generals relaxed their vigilance, thinking that there was no more enemy soldiers in Shuozhou. However, unexpectedly, at this place, at this time, 20,000 ferocious Qin cavalry suddenly rushed out.

But at this time, the 50,000 civilians who were originally under their care were in chaos, roaming everywhere and shouting defeat. For a moment, fires were everywhere, and defeats were everywhere. Many Shatu people who had just woken up from their sleep did not understand what was going on. They only thought that the army had really been defeated, and began to panic and blindly fled with the civilians with the panic.

After Zhang Zimian's cavalry charged, they began to turn back and then re-arranged. This time, Zhang Zimian made the four cavalry line one by one, and 20,000 people lined up into a long horizontal row, divided into several rows, and attacked again.

But this time they stopped charging, but slowly rode forward, took out their horn bows, crossbows, and took out their thunder.

This is a cleaning, a big sweep, and they seem to be moving slowly, but they smashed any Shatuo people in front of them.

The Shatu people retreated step by step and began to be driven to escape to the west by them.

Not long after escaping, the Shatu people found that they had no way to escape because they fled to the edge of the Graywater River.

The Huishui River is not a big river, but it is also the source tributary of the upper reaches of the Sanggan River. It is a considerable river in southern Shuozhou. It is the time when the water is full in summer. The river surface is twenty meters wide, and the water in many places is as deep as meter deep. Although there are many waters and waters that can be wading through, you must know the people here. For these Shatu people who are running around in the dark night, they don’t know where to cross or where not to cross.

Such deep water is very dangerous even if you ride a horse across the river.

The Qin army seemed to have known all this for a long time, and they came from the east. They broke the formation first and then drove them away, obviously to drive them all into the river.

This is a massacre!

If they had real swords and guns, even if the 20,000 Shatu soldiers could not defeat the 20,000 Qin troops, they would never be defeated so desperate and thoroughly. They had never even had a chance to resist. They were just knocked out by a mess of fists from beginning to end, and then were stamped on their throats with one foot, and they were confused.

Cheng Huaiyi suddenly realized that it was not a camp tonight tonight. It was just that the Qin people sent spies to get involved in the civilians and then launched civil strife tonight, causing riots tonight. It was the Qin army who planned the camp tonight.

The Qin army is all the Qin army, and everything is the Qin army's plan. If you want to create such a big roar, how many spies will get involved? I am afraid that when they drove Li Siyuan away and recruited civilians, the Qin army had already begun to prepare and deliberately planted people to Xindai, so that they could catch them as strong men.

Regret, unwillingness, guilt.

He should not have been aroused by the generals who ignored the King of Jin's military orders and led his troops to fight without authorization.

Now, he was completely trapped by the Qin army. The damn Qin army came from behind. This shows that they were Zhang Zimianjun who had returned north before. They did not leave at all, but hid near Yanmen Pass, waiting for him to come out of the pass and come to the door.

He was too careless and set up camp here, but he had no precautions. It would be great if he brought his troops into Shuozhou City to set up camp. Even if Shuozhou was burned, at least there were still a few walls. At the critical moment, he could block it and would not be defeated so quickly.

Everything was over, 20,000 soldiers were gone, and 50,000 civilians were gone.

This is not the worst. The worst thing is that King Jin cannot return in the river, and the Hu people in the north are also difficult to move south for a while. However, he has brought almost all the soldiers and horses from Yanmen Pass and Xin Dai. Now there are only five thousand old and weak in Yanmen Pass. The soldiers and horses from the counties and cities of Xin Dai together have not been five thousand.

Not only did he lose all the 20,000 troops he brought out, but he also lost Yanmen, Yanmen Pass, and the entire Yanmen Town.

He was sorry for King Jin's trust, and he was sorry for King Jin.

The war horses were floating in the water, and the other side was right in front of him, but Cheng Huaiyi sighed and pulled out his sword and put it on his neck.

"King Jin, I'm sorry!"

After saying this, Cheng Huaiyi used his strength to cut his sword into his skin, and blood splattered out. He slowly planted into the river and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

It's dawn.

The lower reaches of the Huishui River are filled with corpses of Shatuo soldiers, almost floating on the surface of the Huishui River several miles long. Blood flows into the river, dyeing the entire Huishui River red. The Huishui River becomes a red water river.

Zhang Zimian rode his horse by the river and looked at the battlefield last night.

The 20,000 Shatuo Army finally captured less than 5,000 prisoners, and the rest were basically dead. The few troops were killed, most of them were forced into the river and drowned. Only a small number of them finally escaped to the other side or broke through the encirclement and fled to the north.

Fifty thousand civil servants also jumped into the river in panic and were drowned. At this time, the remaining more than 40,000 civil servants were helping to clean the battlefield, collect scattered weapons, fleeing war horses, and dig pits to bury corpses.

The Qin army suffered not much loss last night. Twenty thousand people raided, but in the end they only lost more than a thousand people. Compared with the victory they achieved, this loss is simply not worth mentioning.

"Thanks to the Military Intelligence Bureau, they made great efforts. If they hadn't planned the civilian riot, we wouldn't have won the battle so smoothly." Song Wen walked behind Zhang Zimian and sighed.

Zhang Zimian nodded. Indeed, their achievements could not be erased.

"I will submit a memorial to the King of Qin, explaining in detail the experience before and after the battle, and specially requesting the many brothers of the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"The brothers from the Military Intelligence Bureau said that Yanmen is very empty at the moment, with only 5,000 old and weak. It is not difficult to take Yanmen Pass."

"Well, indeed, but someone is not worried about this now."

Yang Shihou chuckled: "The General is worried about Jincheng, right? The Hu people went south, but we cannot return to the rescue in time. Major General Zhang Yu's side is very difficult."

Zhang Zimian sighed. Although it has proved that the decision he left behind is right, it may have ruined his son's life. To the King of Qin, he is a qualified general, but to his son, he is not a qualified father.

"Hey, you are here, tell you a great news." Gao Siji rode his horse, with a smile on his face.

"What good news?" Zhang Zimian cheered up.

"It is indeed a great news. The great victory in Jincheng. Just the day before yesterday, Senior Brother Liu and others led 30,000 troops to Jincheng. Just when the Hu people had already opened a hole in Jincheng, they wiped out the enemy's troops in one battle, and the 50,000 troops from Yelu Sassar were completely destroyed.'

"Where are those ten thousand auxiliary soldiers in Jincheng?" Zhang Zimian asked hurriedly, his heart full of anxiety.

Gao Siji said in a deep voice: "Before Brother Liu arrived, the Hu people had already captured the city passes of Zhuxian County except Jincheng. Ten thousand auxiliary troops were almost gone, and tens of thousands of people who helped defend the city were killed in battle."

"My son..." Zhang Zimian lost his voice, his eyes turned dark and he almost fainted.

Gao Siji and Yang Shihou hurriedly supported him, "Zhang Shuai, the Major General is fine, but he was a little injured. Moreover, after hearing the news, the King of Qin had specially named the Major General the Marquis of Jincheng County for his merits. Senior Brother Liu and several other generals also had rewards. Senior Brother has been promoted to Duke Yingcheng County, and the King of Qin also organized tens of thousands of people into a legion, and was especially given the title of Wansheng. The Marquis of Jincheng County was awarded the deputy commander of the Wansheng Legion. It is such a gratifying thing. He is a tiger father and a tiger son, and a father and son are in battle. "

Hearing that his son was not only not dead, but also received so many rewards, Zhang Zimian was both happy for his son and guilty for the death of the ten thousand soldiers. If he returned to help, maybe they would not have died.

Yang Shihou saw his thoughts and said, "Soldiers have to face sacrifices, but their deaths are valuable. The general decided to stay. Now we have defeated the Shatuo people, and we can immediately recover Yanmen Pass and even the entire Xindai Prefectures in Yanmen Town. This is also their contribution."

Zhang Zimian nodded, "Prepare, we will immediately send troops to Yanmen. We will bear such a huge price. We cannot let their sacrifice down!"
