Chapter 777 Young General vs. Rich Lady 80
At night, the rain stopped and the Beirong troops retreated ten kilometers away.
Ji Yunhuan bought some midnight snacks and drinks to reward the Huo family army.
A bonfire was lit in the Beidaying Camp and the kitchen was bustling with activity. Dishes were served one after another, including rice, vegetables, meat, and drinks bestowed by the gods. The soldiers ate very happily.
Huo Xiao and several generals set up a separate table in the tent, and Ji Yunhuan sat at the head seat. Of course, she couldn't come in person, so she used a bronze mirror instead.
There were three large hot pots of food on the table, as well as the grilled skewers bought by Ji Yunhuan, grilled squid, fried chicken, stinky tofu, octopus balls, salt and pepper potatoes, hand-pulled pancakes, etc. The table was full.
Huo Xiao raised his Coke to toast the gods. Although everyone couldn't see the gods' appearance, they also raised their glasses and drank happily!
After eating and drinking and taking a short rest, Huo Xiao led several hundred people to the West Camp.
"The Beirong people are tired now, so their defense must be weak. Hedan is very arrogant. He thinks the Huo family army is weak and will not dare to attack actively. I want to kill him by surprise!"
"My men, do you dare to follow me and fight your way out of the city? Charge into the enemy camp and kill Hedan!"
It is simply a fantasy for a few hundred people to break into the Beirong camp, but with the chariots bestowed by the gods, everything is possible!
All the soldiers were very excited. They had been fed up with the days of passively taking beatings and had long wanted to rush out and destroy the arrogance of the Northern Rong.
The battle flag of the Huo family army fluttered in the wind. Zhao Hai stood on an off-road vehicle and shouted, "Kill, kill, kill! Anyway, we have a car given by the gods, and we don’t have to drive ourselves. We are not tired at all. Kill him!"
The city gates were wide open, hundreds of cars rushed out of the city gates, and then the city gates were closed tightly.
Peng Haichang was the most honest one. He did not rob the others, so he could only stay to guard the city gate. However, this was also a very important task and was no easier than going to the battle.
If the city gate cannot be defended, there is no point in killing Hedan.
The middle of the night is when people are most likely to feel sleepy and their vigilance is the lowest, making it a good time for a surprise attack.
The Huo family soldiers, however, were extremely excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. After practicing driving for a few days, they could finally drive out in actual combat. They were not sleepy at all!
There was a loud bang!
A gap was blown open on the right wing of the Beirong army. The right wing was filled with Hedan's confidants, and the Shenji Camp was also there. It was like a divine punishment from heaven, and the sleeping Beirong people were stunned by the explosion.
A large number of people died, and those who were still alive ran around like headless flies, not knowing where the enemy was at all.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The messenger rode on a horse, holding a small flag and galloped towards the central army camp.
With a whoosh, Zhuo Zhantu shot an arrow at the messenger's chest. He led a team of people to rush in, throwing explosives and incendiary bombs everywhere, making the right-wing army restless.
The right-wing army was in chaos for a while. After all, they had more people. After a group of people died, they quickly launched a counterattack.
Zhuo Zhantu knew when to stop and blew a few whistles, and everyone retreated tacitly.
They were all wearing armor and were well protected. Even if the Northern Rong people caught up with them and drew swords against them, they would not be able to do anything to them for a while.
They had no desire to fight and just kept running away, so the Beirong people chased them even more enthusiastically.
"Hurry up and get in the car!" Zhao Hai drove a truck to pick them up. After the people jumped in, he threw a bag of explosives down, blowing away the pursuers behind them.
The nearby pursuers had been almost dealt with. Zhao Hai stepped on the accelerator and the truck sped away. The Beirong people on horseback couldn't catch up, and instead fell into an ambush and were killed in another wave of attacks.
The Beirong garrison was ten kilometers away, so the heavy rain did not affect this place too much. The land was dry and the cars drove very fast.
Zhao Hai got off the car and looked at the dark Beirong army in the distance. He was not afraid but eager to try.
"Next time it will be my turn to launch a sneak attack. You take over and I'll smash them into pulp!"
Zhuo Zhantu said, "You are stupid. If you drive a big truck over there, they won't chase you, so how can you disrupt their formation? Leave the big truck for last, and drive the small car first. Drive slowly and lure more people out."
Without waiting for the right wing to retreat, Zhao Hai drove away.
The situation is similar on the left.
Yan Changfeng drove the excavator, scooping up one piece at a time, feeling very satisfied.
The off-road vehicles were rampaging through the left-wing army. The bodies of the vehicles were all made of metal, and even the windows were bulletproof glass. The weapons of the Beirong people could only leave shallow marks, and they had no way to harm the people in the vehicles.
After making the left wing a mess, Zhao Hai shouted, "Retreat first! Yan Changfeng, get back here! If you don't obey my orders, I won't take you with me next time."
Yan Changfeng was still unsatisfied, so he raised the shovel and dug a pit. When he retreated, he knocked several Beirong people into the pit and buried them.
He is really a kind man as he is in charge of both the killing and the burial.
The convoy ran all the way and the Beirong people could not catch up at all. After the Beirong people retreated, the convoy made another circle, like a straight dagger, and continued to pierce their left wing, cutting the left wing in half.
After several battles, the armies on both sides of the Northern Rong were already in disarray.
Such a big commotion naturally disturbed the central army camp, but no news came from either side. They only knew that they were attacked, but they didn't know how many enemies there were or how many casualties there were!
Hedan was woken up just after he fell asleep, his face full of gloom, "How dare they! I don't attack the city, but they dare to attack me. They are tired of living!"
"How many people does Huo Xiao have? How dare he play a trick on me? You don't think I will fall for it, do you? He wants to weaken my forces, so I will cut off his support. Blow the horn and attack the city!"
Hedan’s decision was correct. As long as they captured Pingyang City, the Huo family troops running outside would not be important at all.
But he never expected that only a few hundred people running outside could cause such a big commotion, while Pingyang City was still well guarded.
An ambush had been set up at the city gate. The Northern Rong people were already tired, and the siege made no progress. Instead, part of their forces were dispersed due to the siege.
The two sides continued fighting until dawn.
When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy stays, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue. Huo Xiao drives the off-road vehicle around, looking for an opportunity to strike.
The Northern Rong army was separated and unaware of the situation. They thought they were facing a large-scale attack and were in a panic.
Huo Xiao held the walkie-talkie in his hand, listening to the news coming from various places and controlling the overall situation.
They had cars, strong mobility, close connections, and powerful weapons, so a few hundred people could create the effect of tens of thousands of people.
At daybreak, Hedan discovered that the Northern Rong army was too scattered, and immediately beat the drum to give orders, asking the troops to withdraw and continue the siege, but the others remained on hold.
Although he didn't know the specific situation, he had been on the battlefield many times and had long developed a keen intuition. He realized that if Huo Xiao wanted to disperse them, the formation could not be dispersed!
Seeing the shrinking formation, Huo Xiao sneered, "Hedan is really cautious. He retreated into his shell so quickly. He is in charge of the central camp, surrounded by protection. It is not easy to penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland and kill the commander of the army."
"All teams continue to interfere. Xu Sheng, come and join me. When the gods send new explosives, I will give Hedan another surprise!"
