Chapter 517: Title

In early June, the Central Plains region was the hottest time of the year, and there was no rain for nearly a month. Looking around, there were only continuous cracks on the ground, withered yellow, and even the most heat-resistant vines curled up their stems.

Unscrew the kettle and dipped it in cotton yarn to moisten the dry and cracked lips. A young man covered in a straw raincoat and covered in a straw smear on his face quietly lay in the grass, staring at the Qi army camp that could not see at all... Although the temperature on the surface seemed to be able to roast eggs, he was not aware of anything. While observing carefully, he also recorded the little things he saw.

The scout could not remember when the day it was the reconnaissance of the Qi army, but before the prince made up his mind, he had to continue watching.

It was not until it was completely dark that a robe came over to change the duty: "Chi Yu, go down and rest," the young man who had been dried up nodded, smiled at the successor, and quietly crawled out of the grass...

After climbing far away, I reached behind a small hill, the young scout breathed a sigh of relief. He lay on the ground and gasped for a while, then stood up staggeringly, gradually moving farther and farther in the vast night.

Fifty miles north of the Qi army camp, there is a large camp where the Qin army's 300,000 cavalry were stationed. Although the number of combatants was half less than that of the Qi army, the number of civilians required by the cavalry was much larger than that of the infantry. Secondly, the border army and the imperial guards, the imperial guards, the imperial guards' Taiwei and the imperial guards' headquarters were not willing to be next to each other. Therefore, the camp stretched 30 miles east and west, but it was five miles more than the Qi army.

As the vanguard of the imperial guards, the Jingshan Army's camp is at the forefront of the 18th Company.

In the central army tent, he took Tu Gongchun and handed it to analyze the information. Qin Lei looked at it word by word, and then said slowly for a while: "There is no abnormality..."

After many days of military career, Tu Gongchun's nerd spirit had long been worn off. He heard this and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the flags of the Yumeng Army of Qi and the 36 town border guards are all there, and the daily food and grass consumed is exactly the number required by the 400,000 army." He paused slightly, "And the four generals are all there, so the students believe that the main forces of the enemy are all here."

Qin Lei's brows were tightly twisted into a chrysanthemum, and his eyes were wandering: "I always feel something is wrong."

The generals sitting in the lower head looked at each other, and the oldest Huangfu Zhanwen said: "Prince, if you doubt it, you should have a reason. You might as well say it, everyone, please make a fuss."

Qin Lei shrugged and said, "Intuition, Mr. Gu felt that Qi Jun was too normal... It was normal and abnormal."

Yang Wenyu whispered: "Since you can't make up your mind, then attack at night. No matter what the bull and yellow dog treasure is, you will be exposed after you hit it."

Qin Lei looked at Shen Qing again, and Shen Qing nodded and said, "I think so too." Since he guessed wrong last time, he has become increasingly unconfident in front of Yang Wenyu.

Retracting his gaze from the three commanders, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "In fact, the best choice is to keep the army still." Now it is the invasion of Qi. Qin defends the country. The officers and soldiers on both sides have different beliefs. In order to protect their homeland, the Qin army is not prone to negative emotions such as homesickness and fatigue. However, as an invader, Qi must rely on victory after victory, burning, killing and looting again and again, and keeping the army still for a long time is very harmful to the morale of the army. Therefore, military strategists say that it is not advisable to stalemate with the other party on the enemy's land.

Everyone understands this principle, but the decree on the desk clearly states: ‘Change a total attack within ten days.’ Looking at the signing time, it was already seven days ago.

"Our army is short of food." Yang Wenyu said with concern: "There are more than one million people and horses, and the food consumed every day is really amazing. The supplies that the court has reserved for a year are only enough to last forty days."

"Forty days, that is, early August... When will the autumn grain arrive?" Qin Lei asked softly.

"The drought in the north is no longer expected. The food in the south is a bumper harvest, but the journey is long, and it will take October at the earliest." Shi Wei, who was in charge of military supplies, scratched his head and quickly replied: "The two months of vacancy cannot be filled."

"What's tight?" Shi Meng asked sternly: "Eat food for one day for two days."

"If it's enough, Cao Mengde wouldn't have to behead the grain and grass officers to calm the morale of the army." Huangfu Zhanwen smiled bitterly and said, "As long as you get hungry for three or five meals, the iron man will lose his strength. In less than half a month, if Zhao Wujiu doesn't fight, we will all lie on the ground." The so-called 'the army and horses are not moving, food and grass will come first', in this era, the importance of food and grass cannot be overemphasized. In order to save military rations, only a meal before the battle will be full, and the supply on weekdays is only enough to eat 60% or 70% full. If you want to save, it will be more than worth the loss.

In fact, this is common sense, but Jingshan’s military food is sufficient and every meal is full, so Shi Meng, who has never been in the brothers’ troops, would ask such a ridiculous question.

"In fact, we can wait a little longer," Chang Yunqu, who was recently promoted to deputy commander of the major, has gradually approached the core circle of the royal palace, but has become more and more low-key. He said until everyone said something, "or... reduce the strength of the troops by half." In the era of cold weapons, troops mainly composed of cavalry did not need too many troops to restrain two to three times the infantry. However, if you want to defeat the infantry group with strict formations and rich experience, you have to use considerable force to rush and attack fiercely.

"So in the final analysis, Your Majesty is not greedy enough and has to want a victory worthy of the personal expedition!" Huangfu Zhanwen said unhesitantly: "It is a mistake to lead the personal expedition." Because of Qin Lei's position, the generals under his command generally lack respect for Emperor Zhaowu.

Seeing his subordinates getting further and further, Qin Lei coughed gently, pulled the topic back in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I have decided to do my best to try it out tonight." The woman-like sixth sense saved him many times, so he respected this uneasiness. Before he was completely relieved, he would try his best to stop this great advance...

"I'll leave the stolen camp tonight to... Brother Wenyu." In the envious eyes of the other two, Yang Wenyu suddenly stood up and said, "The last general will take the order!" The military strategy said: "When the night, there will be nine wins and one loss." This is basically a job of making military achievements.

Because the battalion is dozens of miles away, even if it is counting ants, it is impossible to protect the periphery strictly. The cavalry attacking can always find gaps and kill in while they are unprepared. The night is deep and dark, and the subordinates have just woken up from their sleep. Any general with a slightly normal mind will restrain their subordinates and strictly prohibit them from running around. But while tying together to protect themselves, the gap between the battalions is invisibly widened. As long as the sneak attacking troops do not enter the water and do not break into the enemy formation, they can basically be free to come and go, and can set fire, reconnaissance, etc. The journey is quite pleasant.

Moreover, the Advisory Office has formulated several plans in advance. General Yang only needs to choose one from them and make some improvements.

It is famous, beneficial and safe, and we always love it.

After receiving the order, Yang Wenyu did not stay for a moment, and immediately returned to the camp to point out three elite cavalry, ordering them to make all preparations within half an hour... In fact, there is nothing to prepare except blackening the knife. Who made our Jingshan Army's clothing all the black ones?

After finishing this work, the soldiers can have a full meal, rest for another one and a half hours, and wait for the officer to wake up. As for the work of feeding war horses, it is enough to leave it to the civilians.

In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is really a good time to kill and set fire.

Three thousand cavalrymen who were the same color as the night slipped out of the camp quietly from the back camp and headed in their respective directions.

Yang Wenyu also led a brigade and made a circle to reach the scheduled departure location.

Yang Wenyu raised the Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile, but he couldn't see anything except a few campfires. But he was not annoyed, because this should be the case in the late night military camp.

After carefully observing the highlights, in my heart, I contrasted with the enemy camp in the daytime, and after a while, I breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Go in from the southeast and out from the northwest. No fighting is allowed, no stop, and no change of direction easily. Let's set off!" The leader of the army responded in a deep voice and led his subordinates to disappear into the darkness.

As a senior commander, Yang Wenyu naturally would not lead by example, but the tension in his heart was no less than that of the soldiers in front of him. He stood on the mound on horseback, looking motionlessly in the darkness. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, it must be full of anxiety.

After a suffocating quarter of an hour, the dense sound of horse hooves finally rang out. It was the night-attacked soldiers who started charging. They had to increase their speed before entering the enemy camp... The reason why infantry were helpless in cavalry was that speed was the key.

The cavalry that came out of the dark night advanced from seventy feet southeast of the enemy camp... According to the scout's repeated observations, this is one of the worst weaknesses of the opponent's defense.

The vanguard of cavalry shot rockets one after another, and the arrows fell underground, shot on the village wall, illuminating the road ahead.

Although the Qi army was good at setting up obstacles, the camp was too big and there were not enough forts to resist horses, so they had to dig some deep, shallow, wide, wide, narrow trenches instead... The depth, wide and narrow are related to the attitude of the officers and soldiers. The part that the Qin army chose to break into was the result of the perfunctory digging of pits.

Of course, even if it is perfunctory, this trench is nine feet wide, and ordinary grassland war horses cannot cross at all, but without three or three, who dares to go to Liangshan? Qin Lei chose Yang Wenyu's troops because the First Division added 3,000 tall war horses imported from Dashi. The height and weight of these horses are nearly half larger than grassland war horses. Not only is it very grand, but it is also faster.

Qin Lei intended to set up a super cavalry and handed over the 3,000 large-scale war horses he had obtained in the past three years to Yang Wenyu... Shen Qing and Huangfu Zhanwen were naturally envious, but everyone agreed in advance that the one who performed the best in the military exercise would get it, so the two of them could only swallow and spit.

Then, the beautiful war horses jumped high, crossed the trench without any effort, and knocked the simple village wall away, and the large army rushed in like a group of fish...

As soon as the sound of horse hooves sounded, the patrol of Qi immediately alarmed, and gongs suddenly sounded everywhere, warning that we were ambushed in every corner of the barracks!

But facing the cavalry that was rushing to lightning, no one dared to rush to the chariot with a mantis arm. The patrol soldiers fled in all directions, allowing the Qin army to enter the camp without any obstacles, shooting bundles of rockets at the mushroom-like tent group.

For a moment, the Qi army soldiers fled in scattered with their butts, looking very smooth.

The four generals guarded the camps in the east, west, south, north and north respectively, guarded Zhao Wujiu's central army. The attacked Nandaying was Chen Liefeng, who was known as the strongest siege in the city.

The general was very dead when he slept. His personal soldiers pushed him several times before he woke him up from his dream. When he heard that the enemy had stolen the camp, he immediately became energetic and ran out of the military tent barefoot and shouted at his personal soldiers: "Blow the assembly call!" He also said to the general who was hurriedly leading the army: "Have you pulled up the squad?"

The general of the sect didn't care about salute and replied loudly: "The main passages are pulled up!"

"Have the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car set up?" General Chen, who had a red beard, grinned and grinned as he took the boots and put them on his feet... The little stones on the ground were really hurting.

"It was settled before nightfall." The general said with admiration: "The general's magical plan is to make sure that the enemy will never come back!"

Chen Liefeng finally got neatly and laughed: "Let's go and accompany me to the tower to take a look!" It seems that he is very proud of the anti-stealing camp system he designed.

The Qin cavalry was lying wildly in the Qi army camp and lit countless tents. When they rushed to the hinterland of the Qi camp, the first few cavalry suddenly mixed garlic under their feet, and they fell out with their people and horses.

"Trigger!" The cavalry that tightened behind him shouted, "Jump!" and they all instigated the war horses and crossed the rope. As soon as they landed on the ground, they were tripped to the ground by another one and fell out fiercely. Judging from the fierce momentum, there was almost no possibility of survival.

"This road is not open!" In the enemy camp, the comrades couldn't take care of themselves, and had no time to come forward to confirm. They all turned their horses and rushed towards the simple camp of the Qi army, and they even made a way out.

With the fire, Chen Liefeng on the tower was stunned and grabbed his beard and said, "Ball, why don't he take the ordinary road?"

The general quickly comforted him, "It's okay, we have the Wuhan Iron and Steel Chariot Formation." As he said that, he looked at the torrential enemy cavalry and said guiltily: "As long as we can stop them for a quarter of an hour, our spear team will gather."

The so-called Wuhan Iron and Steel Cart Formation is a three Wuhan Iron and Steel Cart that Chen Liefeng set up in the camp to prevent the attack on the camp. The Wuhan Iron and Steel Cart is seven feet high and five feet wide, and it cannot surpass any horse. It can not only block the cavalry, but also give the capable infantry a support.

After stepping on dozens of tents, the Qin army was indeed blocked by the formation of vehicles. Seeing that the enemy had begun to assemble, the captain of the troops shouted anxiously: "Unlock it!"

The cavalrymen who rushed in front dismounted, cut off the hemp rope connected between the chariots with several knifes, pushed them aside, and asked a way for the large army to break through the gap.

Three times, he finally passed through the three lines of defense of the Qi army.

Seeing this scene, Chen Liefeng's face became extremely ugly. He never expected that the opponent's response was so fast. Could it be that the general led the army was a genius? Of course not, but before the battle, Yang Wenyu had already estimated that these situations would be dealt with by his subordinates.

The general had to comfort him again: "Fortunately, our army has been assembled and will not bomb the camp."

Chen Liefeng gritted his teeth and said, "If Qingyishui were our people, it would have been gathered a quarter of an hour ago and blocked the group of gray grandsons in front of the chariot." Because the commander was ordered to get involved in half of the flesh-footed troops, these people were unable to fight, but they were good at causing trouble. After running around and hitting each other, the main force that was in trouble was also in chaos. As a result, they could only watch the Qin army who was stealing the camp left and ate a lot of gray.

Looking at the Qin army that had passed through the central army, General Chen knew that he could no longer stop the enemy. He groaned and turned around and went downstairs.

"General, what is the purpose of the Grand Marshal doing this?" General Governor finally couldn't help asking.
