The military council, which had originally held different opinions and could not convince each other, reached a consensus at the fastest speed.
A group of civil and military officials voted unanimously to let the rear army commander Liu Yong, who was not present, lead the original rear army camp and several newly added commanders to garrison in the original place, continue to confront the Qinghe army, and delay the Qinghe army's advance speed as much as possible. The cavalry commander Gao Chong led the main cavalry force to set off half a day later, and was determined to break through the blockade of the Qinghe army and cover the prince and civil and military officials who followed to return to Jiankang, who were loyal to them.
At the critical moment of life and death, the administrative agencies of the Chen Dynasty demonstrated unprecedented efficiency, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also extremely kind and generous for the first time. He not only left a gentle edict to comfort Liu Yong, who was still desperately searching for new recruits outside, but even made an exception and conferred the title of Prince of Huainan on Liu Yong, a title that could be inherited for three generations. He was also appointed as a pillar of the state, and given the title of Minister of War, and was awarded a golden medal of immunity from death (since there was no golden medal of immunity from death in the camp, this item was issued later).
In general, General Liu Yong, who had always been neglected, suddenly became a high-ranking official in an instant, almost achieving the highest achievement that a military general could achieve.
In response to this, Lord Wei Chunwei, who had made the suggestion, said: "If we want him to risk his life now, we must invest money. Let's just treat it as a posthumous title. It won't cost much anyway."
Even Gao Chong, who had always wanted a promotion, nodded in agreement, thinking that General Liu deserved it. As a result, there were no more objections.
That afternoon, the prince's entourage packed up everything they could take away and rode out of the camp. The camp was in such chaos that Song Wusao had to walk directly out of the gate and cross the entire battlefield to deliver the intelligence back to Qinghe.
It's safe to say that fate hasn't completely abandoned the Chen Dynasty. Just as Huang Zong and his men were about to seize the opportunity to take over the Chen Dynasty camp, Liu Yong finally returned. Yes, General Liu, who had originally planned to return after dark, had gone out to "persuade" a few beautiful women. He wanted to return early to get the latest Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup from Song Wusao so that he could have a deeper conversation with the women that night, so he returned a little early...
All we can say is that everything has its own destiny. No one expected that Song Wusao's lurking would actually save Chen Chao.
That night, after reading the military newspaper and the message from the Crown Prince, the newly appointed Prince of Huainan shouted angrily: Wei Chun, I'll fuck your mother!
The sound was so loud that it shattered the clouds in the sky, revealing a bright moonlight. The white expanse was very beautiful.
Of course, according to records from Qinghe, Liu Yong actually called him "Chen Yu", but the person involved never admitted it during his lifetime.
The next morning, Cheng Guorong estimated that breakfast in the Chen Dynasty military camp might have just been prepared and not yet eaten, so he directly issued the order for a general attack.
The newly delivered incendiary bombs were thrown at the fortifications of the Chen Dynasty's front camp as if they were free. The fire directly covered the entire front camp. Although Liu Yong had ordered the main force to be transferred to the rear camp the night before, a lot of elite soldiers were still left to garrison the front camp (yes, he was planning a defensive counterattack), and they all turned into barbecue.
It's not quite right to call it a barbecue. Qinghe was more prepared this time, and the limited range of the forward camp meant that more incendiary bombs hit each unit area of the position. In other words, the barbecue smell only lasted for a short time before it was all just a burnt smell...
This completely lost the appetite of the Chen Dynasty soldiers who had not yet had time to eat breakfast.
The fire burned for more than an hour before it showed any signs of being extinguished. Liu Yong, who had been cursing all night, stepped on the mountain of treasure and roared at the rear army:
"The imperial court has nurtured scholars for four hundred years, and they will die for justice today!
If you are scared, put down your weapons and get out of here!
Don't be afraid, this money is your life-saving money. Kill a Qinghe soldier and you'll be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. Give me cash, and a wife. Go pick one from the stick-wielding men!"
Then Liu Yong pointed his sword in the direction of the front camp and said, "Those who are not afraid of death, come on!"
The black eyes cannot stand the sight of silver, let alone the fact that the silver is on a beautiful woman.
The soldiers in the rear camp rushed forward with roars, leaving General Liu Yong covered in cold sweat.
"Quick, release all the stick-wielding men and drive them forward. We must cause chaos in the camp."
Liu Yong, who jumped down from the Treasure Mountain, gave these instructions to his personal soldiers.
"Don't worry, General. Everything has been arranged."
"Where's the money?"
"They've all been loaded onto the truck. A few are just covering the boxes, like the pile of empty boxes you just stepped on. I guess those can't be taken away."
"Okay, that's it. Leaving some for later is enough for every year. Call the brothers and let's go."
General Liu, who had just delivered an impassioned speech not long ago, said so.
As soon as Liu Yong finished speaking, more projectiles were thrown into the rear camp...
Liu Yong was shocked. "In less than half a cup of tea, the front camp has been lost? Even if there are tens of thousands of pigs, it will take the Qinghe people three days to catch them, right?"
With a "puff" sound, Liu Yong finally heard with his own ears the "fart" mentioned in the military newspaper.
The mosaics covered the entire Chen Dynasty camp.
In broad daylight, the soldiers of the Chen Dynasty experienced what it meant to be "pitch dark".
What was even more terrifying was that, because they had no idea what it was at first, the Chen Dynasty soldiers, including Liu Yong, drew their swords and started swinging their weapons while running around. For a while, the entire Chen Dynasty camp was filled with shouts and cries of killing.
It didn't take long for Liu Yong to react.
The people of Qinghe must have taken advantage of the opportunity when they gathered their troops in the rear camp to move the catapults forward, otherwise they would not have covered the rear camp. However, this strange "smoke" has no killing ability except for completely blocking the vision. In other words, if everyone stayed where they were, there would actually be no harm.
