Stop at Yicheng training ground.
The cavalrymen rode their fine horses around the parade ground.
“Run!”
"Didn't you have enough to eat?"
"Everyone, run quickly!"
Chen Gan shouted loudly at the cavalry on the parade ground.
A thousand cavalrymen clamped their legs against the horses' bellies, raised their whips high, and ran even harder.
The sound of horse hooves on the parade ground was like thunder, stirring up a thick layer of dust that fluttered in the wind.
As evening approached, the spies who were sent out through the city gates to gather information returned to the city.
The two spies immediately rushed to the government hall to report the news.
...
...
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Chibei army and the Beiliang army have already set up camp ten miles outside Zhiyi City.
The two army camps were located in the east and west, five miles apart.
I used a recorder to get information that a large tent was built five miles north of the two armies' camps.
Xiahou Dun and Talsang will discuss the battle here. ”
When Yang Jin heard the news, he slapped his thigh happily.
He stood up and asked, "Have you sent anyone to the place where they are discussing the alliance and use a bug to get information?"
The spy shook his head: "They are too heavily guarded, not only do you need a password but also a badge to get close.
I and my companions did not know how to lip-read, and were afraid of alerting the enemy, so we did not find a chance to get close. ”
When Yang Jin heard the news, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood.
Yang Jin patted the spy on the shoulder: "You have done a great job!"
"Go eat something and take a break!"
The spy clasped his fists and said, "I dare not say that it is hard work. These are what I and my brothers should do for the Great Jing Dynasty and the people of Zhiyi City."
After the spy walked out of the government office hall.
Gu Zhenbei said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I still think that it is too dangerous for you to lead the troops out of the city to launch a surprise attack.
I have led troops in battles for several years and have practical experience in fighting against the enemy.
Let me lead the troops in a surprise attack tonight! ”
Xiao Jingzhou sat in the first seat.
He raised his right hand and Gu Zhenbei stopped persuading him.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Uncle, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I have simulated it with you several times on the sand table, and I am sure it will succeed this time.
Furthermore, what if I were captured accidentally?
With my uncle in the city, I don't need to panic and no one can help me. ”
Gu Zhenbei wanted to persuade him again, but after hearing what Xiao Jingzhou said, he couldn't say the words that were on his lips.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to take Yang Jin out of the city for a surprise attack. Someone must be stationed in the city to keep an eye on the situation outside the city at all times. Once there is any unusual movement, reinforcements must be sent decisively.
He was silent for a while, then nodded silently: "I will obey your Highness' orders!"
late at night.
Ten miles away from Zhiyi City, the Beiliang camp was brightly lit.
Deputy General Sun saw Xiahou Dun off and immediately gave orders to the garrison troops in the main camp.
"We will attack Dajing City tomorrow. We must be alert and patrol tonight. No mistakes can be made!"
The garrison troops lined up in small squares, and the braziers outside the tents made people's cheeks red.
The garrison shouted in unison: "Yes!"
Deputy General Sun watched the garrison troops patrolling in formation, then turned around and walked back to the Marshal's tent.
Holding a night telescope, Chen Gan saw the curtain of the Marshal's tent being lifted and Lieutenant General Sun strode in.
He whispered, "Your Highness, Xiahou Dun has left Beiliang and stationed at the camp with a hundred cavalrymen."
Xiao Jingzhou ordered calmly: "Let the soldiers prepare, and start in half an hour!"
The wind was freezing cold and the Dajing army was lurking in the darkness, their faces almost frozen.
Half an hour later, Lu Chen returned to Xiao Jingzhou, panting.
"Your Highness, everything is ready!"
Xiao Jingzhou raised his lips slightly: "Order someone to prepare kerosene!"
The soldiers carried barrels of kerosene and placed them at the front of the team.
Two thousand soldiers armed with Qing bows were arranged in two teams, front and back.
The soldiers dipped the arrows in kerosene, and the soldiers holding fire sticks lit the arrows in unison.
Xiao Jingzhou gave the order: "Shoot!"
Arrows streaked across the sky above the Beiliang camp, like a stream of lightning cutting through the pitch-black night, leaving a bold and colorful mark.
The flames suddenly rushed towards the Beiliang camp, instantly alarming the Beiliang garrison patrolling outside the camp.
"not good!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Report to Vice General Sun!"
Arrows lit with kerosene fell on the tents and dry grass of Beiliang, covering the sky.
The twinkling flames instantly turned the Beiliang camp into a sea of fire.
Deputy General Sun sat on a low couch, his right eyelid twitching constantly.
There was hurried footsteps and constant noise outside the marshal's tent.
He stood up suddenly and shouted outside the tent: "What happened?"
As soon as Lieutenant General Sun finished speaking, a sharp arrow pierced through the tent and landed directly at his feet.
The kerosene on the arrow was still burning, and Deputy General Sun's eyes were full of flames.
Deputy General Sun's heart skipped a beat.
"not good!"
He rushed out of the Marshal's tent quickly and saw a sea of fire in the tent in front of him.
The soldiers in the camp were already in a panic.
It hadn’t rained in the north for a long time, and there wasn’t even any drinking water in the Beiliang camp, let alone water for putting out fires.
Deputy General Sun glared and shouted, "Put out the fire!"
"Come some more people, evacuate all the tents and stop the fire from spreading!"
When the Beiliang soldiers saw the sea of fire, they picked up the blankets in their hands and tried to put out the fire in the tent.
Unexpectedly, the fire burning the tent was not put out, and the flames from the blanket almost set people on fire.
Deputy General Sun felt very disappointed when he saw the scene in front of him.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!"
"We are going to attack Dajing tomorrow, what should we do?"
Lieutenant General Sun grabbed a soldier.
His face was grim: “Go and inform the commander-in-chief quickly, and tell him that the camp was attacked by fire and suffered heavy losses.
I will lead people to chase the arsonist and ask the commander to return to the camp quickly. ”
The soldier dropped the spy in his hand and ran towards the cavalry camp immediately.
Deputy General Sun looked at the sea of fire and shouted, "Immediately gather 5,000 cavalrymen and follow me to chase the arsonist enemy!"
Five thousand cavalrymen mounted their horses and galloped out of the Beiliang camp, heading towards the Chibei camp.
The leading cavalryman shouted, "Lieutenant General Sun, there are only the sound of horse hooves ahead, but no horses are visible. Be careful, there may be a trap!"
Deputy General Sun's eyes were red: "The thick smoke blocked the sun, so we couldn't see the enemy in front of us.
All soldiers, please listen to my orders and follow me, the deputy general, to pursue the enemy and avenge our previous defeat! ”
Five miles away from the two armies, the soldiers guarding outside the big tent saw a fire in the direction of the Beiliang camp.
"What's going on?"
"Quick, quick, report to the Marshal!"
When Xiahou Dun heard the news, he immediately ran out of the tent.
He jumped on his horse and galloped towards the Beiliang camp.
Tarsan came out of the tent and saw the fire in the Beiliang camp. He turned his head to look at the quiet and silent Chibei camp.
The close friend said: “Third Prince, it must be that the Dajing Army attacked the Beiliang camp.
I don't know how much was burned in this fire.
After this disaster, I wonder if the Beiliang camp will be able to lead troops to attack the city of Dajing tomorrow? ”
When Tarsan heard this, a cold light flashed across his calm face.
"Give the order and return to the camp immediately!"
