The sun is approaching Xishan, and night is coming. In the Xiongnu camp, there was still chaos. Today is another hard battle, not to mention the generals and commanders of the commanding army, even the commanders of the Di and Qiang troops, all of them are exhausted.
"How can the Buddha win? I want to go home, so I won't fight..." A Qiang man murmured while pressing the wound.
No wonder he would say so. It has been ten days since the two armies confronted each other, but the fur of Bingzhou's soldiers and horses has not been injured. The head coach was so anxious that he began to use Qiang Di troops in large numbers. These people lack food and horses, and infantry accounts for more than 70%. On the battlefield, is to fill the trenches of life.
After rushing to the formation again and again, and retreating again and again, it is impossible to tell how many people were injured and died. With the war, rumors also began to run rampant. Those Qiang people who believed in Buddhism could no longer hold back and talk about the Buddha's son. It also found a reason for the invincibility of the impregnable camp, for the fierce thing that can throw boulders. This rumor shakes the hearts of the army even more than the war.
Hearing his nonsense, the companion on the side quickly covered his mouth. In the two Japanese troops, it is strictly forbidden to mention Buddha's son. If the Huns heard it, they would not know how to punish them.
Only the mouth can be covered, the heart can
"You can't just sit still!" In the big tent, Liu Yao was also devastated. How could he not know that the people in the army are unstable, but the enemy camp opposite is like an iron barrel, indestructible.
What's more terrifying is that the enemy has begun to avoid the battle!
After a small loss in the first battle, Liu Yao changed his position. He no longer used cavalry to surround and fight, but mixed foot and cavalry to launch a fierce attack. Although still not victorious, it is not all hopeless. He has a lot of soldiers, and he can completely change his troops and fight in turns. And Bingzhou has few soldiers, even if they are good at fighting, it is impossible to withstand such an offensive.
But I didn't expect that just after the wheel battle was launched, the Bingzhou camp turned from attack to defense, and did not stay behind closed doors.
The originally humble camp was built into a rock solid within a few days, and the huge thunderbolt cannon also appeared after the horse was rejected. Any means of attacking the camp will turn into a bloody slaughter. It cannot be attacked, it cannot be broken, and even a night of attacking and harassing the enemy will not have the desired effect. The enemy was not overwhelmed by his tactics. On the contrary, the long-term fighting had drained the morale of the army. Those mixed beards quietly recited the name of the Buddha's son, and the grain supply was also visibly reduced.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
Liu Yao is good at fighting and naturally understands what he is facing. Today's Bingzhou Camp is not far from the city of Anyi. And that Bingzhou Buddha is a piece of poison bait that cannot be swallowed. Just being in battle can make all the Qiang Hus feel timid and cholera army hearts.
You must not follow each other by the nose any more.
"Liu Bao, you take 20,000 cavalry around the battlefield and head straight for Anyi. Cut off the enemy's back!" Facing his confidant and favorite general who is good at fighting, Liu Yao was still worried and warned carefully, "This raid is of great importance. It's best to cut off the food route of the Bingzhou camp in one fell swoop, and move its army! Once the Bingzhou soldiers retreat, it is the time for our army to break the enemy!"
It's a little risky, but there's no other way. With the Bingzhou army outside, there must be not many defenders left behind. Out of 20,000 elite cavalry to attack, the possibility of success is very high. After success, it is possible to break through the enemy camp by attacking from both sides.
"Your Majesty, if the division of troops is known to the enemy camp, I'm afraid it's not good." The counselor on the side said.
With 20,000 cavalry separated, the strength of the battalion plummeted. If the enemy reacts, I am afraid they will attack in a big way.
"It doesn't matter, they avoid the war, and we can also hang the flag of freedom from war." Liu Yao said coldly, "I ordered to go down, the stove will not go out, and the tent will not be withdrawn. Even if the horses come to the front of the camp, they will not be able to detect the depth of our army. !"
The two camps were far apart and covered by terrain. As long as the troops were dispatched at night and the original number of tents and stoves remained unchanged, it would be extremely difficult to detect the gap of 20,000 cavalry. When the back road is attacked, it is too late!
All the generals under his command took orders in unison. Liu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Not having to storm the Bingzhou camp is the best way now. Just see if this method of breaking the game can work!
That night, the cavalry came out of the tent quietly. On the second day, the offensive for several consecutive days also stopped, and the two armies faced each other and did not move.

"The Huns finally stopped fighting, are they going to attack me?" In the handsome tent, Liang Feng also sat in front of the sand table early.
"There is news from the watchtower that although the smoke from the stove in the enemy camp has not decreased, there are more than 10,000 less soldiers who eat. It must be a sneak attack." Zhang Bin replied affirmatively.
The Huns occupied the land and wanted to secretly deploy troops, which was indeed not easy to detect. But no matter how much you pretend, you can't hide it from the telescopic mirror on the tower. If you send troops, you have to hide it, you must want to attack the back road. The staff battalion had anticipated this possibility early on, and had formulated no less than five countermeasures.
"To attack Anyi, one day is enough to reach it." Liang Feng asked, "What is the wind direction these two days?"
Zhang Bin understood: "It's all downwind, and it's windy at night."
A smile appeared, and Liang Feng nodded: "It seems that this time, we have to borrow the east wind."
Everything is ready, only the stalk of the east wind, no one can understand. But when it was completely dark, the flag on the watchtower was agitated in the direction of the Xiongnu camp. The whole group of people in the handsome tent, etc., all stood on the point of command.
The crescent moon is like a hook, and the sky is dizzy. Looking at the Huns' tent from a distance, it was like hiding in a gauze tent. This was an excellent time for a night attack, but in the main camp, no troops were used, and only a small team rushed out of the camp.
After another half an hour, a fire suddenly appeared in the wilderness. Hundreds of thousands of white lamps floated up with the wind and rose into the air.
Who has seen this scene? Not to mention the soldiers in the battalion, even the generals on the high platform could not help but gasp. Don't the lanterns just drop out? Why can it fly straight into the sky uncharacteristically? A spectacle of this scale is simply terrifying!
Looking at the Kongming lanterns in the air, Liang Feng also narrowed his eyes. Even in later generations, the release of sky lanterns will attract a burst of surprise, not to mention the present more than a thousand years ago. The staff battalion has arranged more than one night attack method, but this is undoubtedly the most effective and the most labor-saving one.
Turning his head, he said to the people around him, "It will take some time for the Kongming lantern to take effect. Let the soldiers rest and stand by."
Yi Yan's eyes were not attracted by the lights in the sky. He has seen countless miracles and tried countless miracles. However, everything was brought about by the person in front of him. Compared with the astonishing sight, the indifference in the man's expression made him even more unable to restrain himself.
"The master's miraculous plan, the final commander will live up to it." Under the light of the bright lights, the figure was also imprinted in his eyes. Yi Yan didn't reach out to touch it, but made a fist with both hands and replied with determination.
With such a shocking light array, are you still afraid that the Huns will not be in chaos

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is not good!"
After spending a whole day on guarding against the enemy, Liu Yao finally went to bed early at night, just looking forward to good news tomorrow.
However, the letter came earlier than expected. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by his personal soldiers. Hearing that there was a vision in the sky, Liu Yao ran out of the camp barefoot without even wearing his boots.
Is it possible that Bingzhou is using some tricks? Thunder or meteor? He also thought about a lot of ways to deal with it, and he would not blow up the camp... All his thoughts came to an abrupt end. When the starlight came into view, Liu Yao's mind was buzzing, and he almost didn't stand still. what is that? lamp? A sky lantern falling from the sky
Who can make the light float in the air? Why are there so many lights? What's the use
Although the quake was disturbed, Liu Yao still said, "They want to set fire... set fire to the camp!"
As if grabbing the last straw, Liu Yao raised his voice: "Quickly organize the bowmen and shoot down those lights! All battalions are on guard, and the tents must not be burned. There is still food and grass... Yes, this direction, They want to destroy my food! They must not be allowed to succeed!"
With a buzzing sound in his head, Liu Yao didn't want to think about why the fire came from the sky. What kind of divine power can make thousands of lights float above their camp. Now he can think of only how to get rid of the panic! Can't roar! There must be no civil unrest! Never allow the enemy to break through the camp!
"The whole army is in armor to guard against night attacks!" There was hysteria in Liu Yao's voice. He must never let that group of Jin dogs succeed!
That night, countless sky lanterns flew over the Xiongnu camp. Some were boundless and floated higher and higher, while others staggered and fell into the camp. The arrow feathers kept on, roaring, and there were countless voices of chanting the Buddha.
Liu Yao did desperately block the camp change, but the expected enemy never appeared.
When the first rays of sunlight crossed the sky, his face was ashen, and he looked out of the camp. Dozens of Thunderbolt Cannons tore off the covering black cloth, revealing the hideous gun mounts. Countless spear tips gleamed in the morning light.
The enemy has not attacked, but they have come to the side unknowingly. Panicked all night, tired all night, will his soldiers still have the physical strength to resist the attack? Do you still have the courage to compete with the strong army led by the Buddha
No one could answer his question.
The huge thunderbolt cannon shrieked, and projectiles ripped apart the sky one after another, attacking the enemy camp!
