Dajing Camp, the commander-in-chief’s tent.
Xiao Jingzhou, Chen Gan, and Zhou Wu gathered in front of the sand table.
This sand table was drawn by Zheng Shuyu and customized by Jiang Zhenyu in modern times.
Every tree, every pit and every mountain are reproduced one-to-one.
Chen Gan looked at the sand table and did not use branches to replace trees, lumps of mud to replace hills, or stones to replace mountains.
Instead, it made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "With a hundred thousand troops stationed outside Guyan County, Li Yuanqian will not miss the opportunity to launch a surprise attack."
Chen Gan said: "If we miss tonight, we can only wait for His Majesty to lead the troops to attack Guyan County."
"I agree with your Majesty."
When it comes to military operations and warfare, King Wu of Zhou was just a beginner.
...
...
He just listened to the instructions patiently and didn't say anything else.
Xiao Jingzhou planted two small flags on the sand table.
“The tanks are placed at these two locations.”
He drew another line on the sand table, crossing Dajing Camp and Guyan County.
"Put the explosives here, and when Li Yuanqian leads his troops to evacuate, they will explode immediately."
Xiao Jingzhou gave some instructions and said, "The soldiers are waiting in the tent."
"I'm going to catch the turtle in the jar tonight!"
It was a dark night with a strong wind, and everything was quiet.
The west gate of Guyan County was wide open, and the Eastern Zhou army, wearing armor and carrying swords on their waists, headed towards Dajing to set up camp.
Li Yuanqian led his troops closer to the enemy camp and saw that there were only a few soldiers guarding the camp.
He frowned slightly: "What's going on?"
Isn’t Xiao Jingzhou afraid of his sneak attack?
Or did Xiao Jingzhou already take precautions?
Li Yuanqian ordered the scouts to get close to the Dajing camp to gather information.
Not long after, the scouts returned.
The scout said: "General, I heard a deafening snoring sound outside the tent.
When I opened the tent, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
Li Yuanqian was still hesitating whether to attack.
Deputy General Liu began to persuade them to retreat: "Xiao Jingzhou has always been cunning, and Xiahou Dun has suffered losses at his hands. We can't act rashly."
Li Yuanqian glanced at him and said, "Three hundred thousand soldiers can't defeat Dajing's 100,000 troops?"
Li Yuanqian originally wanted to back out, but after hearing what Lieutenant General Liu said, he instantly understood what Xiao Jingzhou was up to.
Li Yuanqian smiled and said, "Xiao Jingzhou is just like that. He was afraid that we would attack him at night, so he did it on purpose."
The purpose is to make them suspicious and afraid to attack easily.
Li Yuanqian said slowly and laughed wantonly: "What a pity, I met this general."
Lieutenant General Liu had no doubts and even felt that Li Yuanqian's analysis made sense.
He gave a thumbs up and flattered him: "General, you are wise. You saw through Xiao Jingzhou's evil plan so quickly.
This man is really cunning. ”
Li Yuanqian was highly praised and his self-confidence increased a bit.
He said, "Pass on this general's order to launch a surprise attack on the Dajing military camp immediately."
The Dong Zhou army approached the Da Jing camp silently. They used bows and arrows to "shoot and kill" the Da Jing army guarding outside the camp.
Many soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty wondered why their shots were always accurate at night.
Could it be that he has awakened his archery skills?
Li Yuanqian was far away and couldn't see what was going on at all.
At his command, the Eastern Zhou army sneaked into the camp with swords raised.
There were screams in the tent.
An 'Eastern Zhou Army' soldier with blood on his face rushed out of the tent and waved in the direction of Guyan County.
Li Yuanqian smiled brightly. He rode high on his horse and said with a smile, "Charge!"
"Capture Xiao Jingzhou alive and you will be rewarded handsomely!"
The Eastern Zhou army rushed into the Dajing camp.
There were constant screams in the tent, and Li Yuanqian's laughter was even louder outside the camp.
His anger at having his good thing interrupted today disappeared without a trace at this moment.
"rush!"
"Everyone, charge at this general!"
The tents of Dajing were quickly overturned, and the Eastern Zhou army stepped on the corpses and poured into the heart of Dajing camp.
Li Yuanqian was still smiling in the previous second, but his reaction was wrong in the next second.
It went so smoothly.
The Dajing army would not fall into a deep sleep and wait for the Dongzhou army to break into the camp and kill them one by one.
Before Lieutenant General Liu could react, he raised his sword high in the air and swung it.
"Kill! Capture Xiao Jingzhou alive and give him a promotion!"
Li Yuanqian shouted: "Retreat!"
"quick……"
Before he finished shouting, he saw the soldiers at the front rushing to a group.
The sound of tapping filled his eardrums.
With a loud "bang", several soldiers of the Eastern Zhou army who had sneaked into the Dajing military camp were blown away.
Deputy General Liu exclaimed: "What was that?"
Several people were blown away and fell to the ground in an instant. Flames ignited around them, which looked extremely dazzling in the dark night.
The Eastern Zhou army, which was rushing in the front, saw their comrades falling to the ground. They wanted to retreat but it was too late and they were pushed forward by the enemy.
The Dajing army stood behind a row of sandbags, holding machine guns, rifles, and grenades.
Mortar bombardment continued, and archers joined in.
Li Yuanfeng saw the situation clearly amid the gunfire. His pupils dilated infinitely and his face was full of fear.
"Retreat!" Li Yuanqian said, tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards Guyan County.
The supporting Eastern Zhou army heard the order and began to evacuate towards Guyan County.
Unfortunately, they did not notice that the tents on both sides were much taller and larger than the other tents.
The tank started up and the tent was immediately pushed open.
Zhou Wu and Hou Si drove tanks and bombed the retreating Eastern Zhou army.
The Eastern Zhou army fled amid the artillery fire. Li Yuanqian, riding on his horse, looked back.
The fire behind him seemed to have eyes, chasing and bombing him.
Lieutenant General Liu finally caught up with him and cried out, "General, what should we do now?"
Li Yuanqian said angrily: "Retreat!"
Now he didn't know what to do except to run for his life.
Dajing's weapon was so bizarre, he had never seen such a powerful weapon.
Li Yuanqian was riding his horse and was about to reach Guyan County, but he didn't expect an explosion to be heard behind him.
He was knocked to the ground with his horse by a wave of explosions.
Li Yuanqian only felt a buzzing in his ears, and then he could hear nothing and fell into infinite darkness.
Lieutenant General Liu shook Li Yuanqian to see if he was still breathing.
He found that Li Yuanqian was not dead yet, so he took a soldier and carried Li Yuanqian back to Guyan County.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
The gates of Guyan County were tightly closed.
A row of flames was lit on the towering city wall.
Lieutenant General Liu raised his eyes and saw someone standing on the city wall.
The man was tall, but his armor was Dajing's military uniform.
Lieutenant General Liu was shocked, as if he knew who was on the city wall.
The sky gradually brightened, but it was almost midnight.
Deputy General Liu discovered in despair that of the 300,000 troops in the Eastern Zhou army, only 100,000 were left.
This is just his estimate, it might be even less.
At this moment, Li Yuanqian woke up.
He thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that he could still breathe.
Li Yuanqian said in a hoarse voice: "Lieutenant General Liu, it was you who rescued this general back to Guyan County?"
Deputy General Liu said with a bitter face: "General, we are imprisoned in Guyan County and have become prisoners."
Li Yuanqian: “???”
What a niche word! Li Yuanqian didn’t even understand it.
He even suspected that Lieutenant General Liu was frightened and refused to believe that he could be captured in his own territory.
It was not until he was carried into prison that he realized his situation clearly.
At this moment, Li Yuanqian wished he had been blown to death last night!
