The dark clouds in the night are gloomy, without a trace of sky light leaking, the north wind blows the bonfire and sways, and the sparks are scattered in the night - the rain has stopped for a day, the soil absorbs enough rain, the grass and bushes are wet

It was rumbling, and occasionally Mars blew away, and it was immediately extinguished.

The rosin torches were lit, reflecting one by one more clearly | The faces of perseverance, wind and frosty faces, the war horses sniffed, and occasionally the war horses neighed and echoed loudly in the camp.

"After the flooding strategy is completed, 100,000 enemy troops will become frightened birds, but it is not easy for us to harvest the results to the fullest. We still need the soldiers of the army to work together without fear of sacrifice."

Xu Huai stood at the dou general platform made of soil, hundreds of torches were illuminated as bright as day. Looking at the shadowy military formation, he said with a tremendous sound.

"The enemy is south of Xuchang, with only one floating bridge laying on the Ying River. Not only is the passage narrow, but it is also susceptible to the attacks of our navy warships. The troops on the western front are in a hurry and dare not go straight to Xuchang.

Escape in the direction. Linying City is the place where the enemy troops on the Western Front fled and gathered. In order to encircle and annihilate the enemy troops on the Western Front to the maximum extent, we must abandon all the baggage with a fearless spirit and intersperse to Lin at the fastest speed overnight

On the east and north sides of Yingcheng, intercept the fleeing enemy troops in the west!”

Linying City is not far away, just thirty miles southwest of Xiliuxikou, but now there is almost no natural light except for the clouds covering the sky. There is still a great inconvenience in the torch lighting, and the more important thing is

Seven or eight thousand Red Hu cavalrymen were stationed near Linying City.

At present, only more than a thousand war horses were transported to the south bank. In the dark night when the infantry was unable to see their hands, it was impossible to maintain a combat formation. If they collided with the main force of the enemy cavalry before approaching Linying City, they would have to

A team of more than 20 people is a unit, and each encounters an enemy and fights on its own.

Of course, in the dark night where you can't see your fingers, the infantry may not suffer any loss.

The most dangerous moment is when it is dawn. At that time, thousands of infantrymen may not have completed their formation, but the enemy cavalry is already ready to charge and cover up the killing.

In order to deal with this situation, the five thousand elite infantry were divided into five teams, leading by Xu Xin'an, Wang Xian and other generals. Xu Huai and Wang Ju personally led more than a thousand guards and cavalry to the rear.

In fact, it is necessary to use infantry as a cover, and the guards and cavalry do everything possible to avoid encountering chaos with the enemy cavalry in the night when they are out of sight, and to do everything possible to maintain a complete formation when the sky is about to dawn.

The torch illuminates limitedly. Once the enemy encounters chaos, it may be extinguished at any time. In the dark, they can only confirm their identities by using the command to confirm each other's identities. In the army that is advancing, the team leader repeatedly confirms the command with his subordinates. The memory of the command is correct:

"Expel the captives!"

"Give me back the mountains and rivers!"

"Hungry meal of barbarian meat!"

"Drinking the blood of the Huns with thirst!"

"Let's go!" Xu Huai waved his hand and ordered Xu Xin'an, Wang Xian and others.

Surrounded by guards carrying the flag, the generals returned to their own queues, left the camp one by one, and marched westward along the south bank of Yingshui.

Yuehai Tower, Yin Chao led hundreds of escorts to Linying City, and after he surrounded Mu Chi, Zhong Changqing came to the north of the camp to snatch the formation, and piles of bonfires were lit on both sides of the trench.

Soldier's face

They were all in a hurry, and I don’t know what fate was waiting for them.

During the journey, the vanguard of Wuchi's troops realized that the road was blocked by flooding. Then Moli was in the camp north of Miaowanggou, and in a hurry, he mobilized a large number of scouts to detect the flooding situation near Miaowanggou. At the same time, he also wanted to

He ordered 20,000 garrisons north of Miaowanggou to gather overnight to avoid flooding on both sides. The news of the arrival of flooding has spread in the west bank of Xiliuxi.

How can you expect the soldiers to remain calm at this time?

Seeing that Chushan gathered troops overnight and did not attack here, but traveled west along the south bank of Yingshui, most of the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

However, seeing that countless torches pulled out fire dragons several miles long under the cloudy sky, Zhong Changqing quickly guessed that the elites of Chushan wanted to find space from the camps west of them and went directly to Linying

The city passes through.

However, he could do nothing about it.

Their soldiers on the west bank of Xiliu Creek can barely stabilize their position and there is no morale of the army, but the military generals and military officials are waiting in panic or confirming further news and situations.

If even the torches were not prepared enough at this time, he would just pull tens of thousands of soldiers across the camp overnight. Not to mention that he could rush outside Linying City to participate in the war in time, Zhong Changqing suspected that the army would collapse halfway.

Each escapes his life.

Now he can only summon the generals again and ask them to go back and mobilize the troops of various units. After dawn, he can further confirm the flooding situation and set off towards Linying City, and perhaps he can still exert his combat effectiveness.

Zhong Changqing did not send anyone to chase Yue Hailou, Mu Chi, Yin Chao, etc.                                                    �

The marching trajectory of the elite Chu Mountains is so clear under the night, even if it is ten miles apart, it can be clearly seen. Zhong Changqing believes that Yue Hailou, Mu Chi, Yin Chao and others should also understand that thousands of elite Chu Mountains are advancing west overnight.

With the intention, he could only stand anxiously in the cold night, waiting for the scouts to continue to report the latest information.

Unfortunately, he did not optimistic or see the news of turning around. After the Chushan Army ignited the beacon in the front army camp south of Miaowanggou, the direction of Xiaoquegang, Mahuanghe estuary, Chushan Army, and the left and right Xuanwu Army had also been overnight.

When they were dispatched, their routes pointed to Linying City.

However, the Chushan Army's front army camp in the south of Miaowanggou did not make any noise except igniting the beacon fire, but Zhong Changqing did not have any luck at all.

He didn't know when the Chushan Army had started to plan all this, and he didn't know how thorough the Chushan Army had surveyed the terrain between Ruying, so he didn't know where there would be vitality and where the Chushan Army would attack fiercely

He didn't even know if the flood would flood along the Xiliu Creek!

Zhong Changqing suddenly found that he could do nothing except wait for tomorrow to confirm the situation further, but the Chushan Army was like a hideous giant beast, already enjoying the pleasure of hunting under the cover of night...

"Swish..."

The rainy days, the soil is filled with rain. Except for the occasional sniff of war horses, it is particularly clear in the quiet night, and it is almost impossible to feel the movement of the enemy cavalry approaching. This team of enemy cavalry approaches very slowly, using a special thin skin

The wind lamp is hung under the horse's belly to illuminate. The light blocks the weeds and shrubs that grow wildly in the fields after the abandonment. It is almost unaware of it when it is pulled away for two or three hundred steps.

More than a dozen Chushan scouts held up a torch, and they were almost in need of

The enemy cavalry caught each other and realized that it was abnormal. Before they could extinguish the torches in their hands, they saw the rain of locust arrows burst into the air.

In order to facilitate maneuvering, the scouts all wore light armor. At that moment, three or four people were shot by feather arrows. Fortunately, the flesh was not deep after the armor was broken, and everyone didn't care about the others. They divided into two teams to fight to the side and ran wildly, pulling the

The distance from the enemy cavalry is opened; at the same time, the iron whistle is blown sharply.

The enemy cavalry lurking in the dark suddenly launched an attack, with extremely fast speed. The horse's hooves trampled on the mud and water, and the sound of passing through the weeds and shrubs seemed to be a lot colder.

The buffer time provided by the scout warning was very limited. Two thousand infantrymen on the left wing were divided into two teams and rushed in a row, one deep and one shallow and one deep in the wilderness for two or three miles.

It was the darkest moment before dawn, and no one had the ability to quickly shrink the two thousand infantry into a defensive array before taking on the battle.

The guards also extinguished the torches as soon as possible, surrounded Xu Xin'an and retreated into the depths of the darkness behind.

In a chaotic night battle, no matter how powerful Xu Xin'an is, he cannot effectively command two thousand soldiers and horses to fight; the guard's main responsibility is to avoid Xu Xin'an, who is the commander of the left wing, being exposed to the crossbows and attacks of the enemy cavalry.

If you want to admit defeat, you have to admit defeat. Without the protection of layers of infantry formations, Xu Xin'an was exposed to the strong attack of elite enemy cavalry, with the protection of dozens of guards, he would have almost no hope of getting out.

The other men and horses gathered in three to five combat teams to defend on the spot, and quickly extinguished the torches in their hands and hid in the dark to welcome the impact of the enemy cavalry.

The wilderness is in the darkness where people cannot see their fingers. No matter how good the Red Guards are, they cannot take advantage of them. Even the movements brought about by galloping on horseback in the darkness will expose themselves to welcome them.

It was a sharp spear that thrust over.

The Chihu Wushu on the horse's back was also brave. At this moment, I saw the exact position of the mountain general. The war horse roared and stood up. The Chihu Wushu still sat steadily on the saddle, waving the long sword in his hand.

Slashed down fiercely, and slashed Chu Shan Jianrui's shoulder fiercely and accurately. The armor pierced the armor and brought out a bunch of wet and hot blood. Two spears stumbled in the slanting place, and the knife, shield, hands and shoulders supported the heavy shield in their hands.

, and slammed into the horse's belly hard to stop it from rushing forward.

The scattered array could not completely block the cavalry from the outside. More and more cavalry rushed over, wielding sharp long swords in the dark, and stabbing a spear out.

However, in the darkness where you can't see the five hands, it is naturally unfavorable to the attacking party.

There are still bumps and bumps on the ground. If they don’t light the torch, they will not be able to pull up their riding speed in the dark. If they light the torch, in addition to shooting the crossbow more accurately, Chu Shan Jianrui will be even more

Quickly gather more sharp spears to greet them on the front of their offensive route.

Even if both sides put out the torch, the movement caused by the attacking party's advance will greatly expose their position.

The cavalry soon discovered that even if they could easily drag the Chushan armored soldiers to penetrate the long array, they could not cause much damage; the Chushan elites were not disbanded by them and fled in a panic, but instead

The team was a unit, further contracted and gathered, and the resistance was more firm, which made their charge more casualties.
Chapter completed!
