About an hour later, the Wuqu camp fell into a deep sleep again.
They have 2,000 people here, so they are definitely not afraid of the enemy's sneak attack. Coupled with the arrangement of the tents, no matter where they are attacked, there will be people on both sides to immediately go to support. That is to say, relying on these, King Wuqu didn't take tonight's events seriously at all.
But in the third watch, it happened again.
King Wuqu was awakened from his sleep by the sound of the war drums, full of anger, he picked up his sword and mounted his horse, and he wanted to go out and have a good time with the men and horses of the former middle battalion. Unexpectedly, the other party was like this. After the commotion was over, they left and confronted them head-on.
"This motherfucker is here to make trouble?" King Wuqu cursed as he looked at the distant figure.
Looking at the state in front of him, General Wuqu always felt that something was not right: "Is it possible that the sound of the east is hitting the west?"
King Wuqu was reminded by this, and immediately felt that it was possible, pulled the reins and turned back to the camp.
It's reasonable and unreasonable. It is very common in tactics to attract two battalions of troops and then make a sneak attack; but if the other party still has the strength to attack, it is at least four thousand troops. Four thousand men and horses, with such a big movement in the march, it is impossible not to leak any rumors. This is unreasonable. Besides, there are only 2,000 people in his Wuqu camp. If the opponent has 4,000 troops, the chances of winning a frontal attack are great, so why bother? Taking 10,000 steps back, he said that the generals of the other side did not know whether the reinforcements from the Sui country were nearby, so it would not make much sense to do so
After thinking about it, King Wuqu didn't think about the meaning of this. After returning to the main camp, he saw that the other three camps were silent and there was no enemy attack at all, and he was really angry.
"Whose soldier is this?! Isn't this a disgusting person?! Let no one sleep!" He scolded, thinking in his heart, I am afraid that the enemy is really deliberately making them uncomfortable, and even more so in his heart Getting angry, he gave the general an order: "The front battalion is in the middle battalion, and then the left battalion and the right battalion will be adjusted in half, wait in front of the camp, don't sleep, get ready for me, and the other side's war drums sound again, then rush out to kill clean!"
"Yes."
Looking at the men and horses from their side, they could only see the soldiers in the first two rows. At this time, it was late at night, and all I could see was a torch and a shield, but I couldn't see anything else clearly. King Wuqu expected that the other party would not exceed 2,000 people, but he was still cautious and added 500 more people, ready to take them down in one fell swoop.
Sure enough, after another hour, all the men and horses assembled in front of Wuqu Camp were drowsy, but when they were still holding on, the war drums sounded again.
Although King Wuqu was not young, he was so disturbed by this matter that he heard the sound of the war drum and rushed out with a vigour and vigour.
The other party was still the same as before, and when they saw them approaching, they began to retreat.
King Wuqu loudly ordered: "Follow me!"
The sound of the third round of war drums was the signal that Xue Ziqin and the others had set.
When Xue Ziqin heard the sound of the drums, he gave an order: "Come on!" One hundred men galloped across the grassland and rushed straight to the back camp of Wuqu.
The patrolman's role was basically zero at the moment. He heard the noise and went to check, and then sent one person to report. During this time period, Xue Ziqin and his party had already rushed to the door, and the speed did not decrease at all, and they rushed in. The superior received the report of the enemy attack, but where should he ask for support at this time? The middle battalion and the former battalion were empty. Even if they were discovered at this moment, it would be of no use. Not to mention, they were still attacked by three battalions at the same time. They were all too busy and wanted to support others.
At the same time, the other two teams rushed over. However, they were taking advantage of it. They never expected that half of the people from the left and right battalions were dispatched to go out. There were only more than 200 people in the camp at the moment, and all of them had not slept well in the first half of the night, so they slept a little. Calm soldier. Zhou Xiao and Guo Linchong are both veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Seeing this now, they adapt to the situation and ignore the harassment orders given by Xue Ziqin before. Light it up.
Xue Ziqin's side was no longer so lawless. According to the original plan, a hundred people rushed in on horseback and immediately started running around. Many Wuqu warriors were trampled to death. The entire team, well-trained, walks away as soon as they touch, never fights, and maintains mobility at all times.
As soon as he entered, he looked around, and when he saw the soldier with the bullhorn, he was holding his horn. He wanted to blow the horn to warn other battalions. It was inserted into the man's chest again. With great strength, he pierced it directly, and then pulled it out, bringing out bright red blood.
The Wuqu warriors are resting, how can they deal with such a sudden situation? But there are still many people who pick up bows and arrows and aim at people remotely. Their arrows were really good, and they killed several of Xue Ziqin's people in the first round of arrows.
Jiang was also in the crowd, waving a knife while running towards the grain and grass camp, followed by Jia Da Jia Er. Jia Da held a long knife, but Jia Er only took a torch. The reason is very simple. They are the people who have been given the important mission of burning food and grass. Jiang also looked around. In this situation, where there are the most guards, that is where the food and grass are. In the sound of fighting and the sound of horses' hooves, Jiang also quickly saw a few guards who were still standing in front of a large tent, looking nervous - that must be the grain and grass camp, otherwise, apart from King Wuqu, what else is so important, It's worth them not to help, but to defend.
What Jiang didn't know was that these guards didn't want to help, but were frightened.
It was in the middle of the night, and they were woken up twice by the war drums. King Wuqu did not assign a task, but they were very nervous by these repeated events. Even the guards who were usually on duty at night were in poor spirits. When something goes wrong, you don't know what to do at all.
I saw him rushing to the front of the grain and grass camp, and then without slowing down, he rushed in directly. The soldiers who were guarding the camp saw the horseshoes galloping, and they didn't care so much.
Jump to the side and fall to the ground. Anyway, the most important thing is to get out of the way first.
Sure enough, as he expected, it is the food and grass camp. There was a large amount of grain piled up in the camp, and on Jiang Ye's saddle hung several pots of lamp oil that had been prepared a long time ago.
The guards just got up, and just wanted to go in and grab Jiang Ye and save the food and grass. Jiang Ye happened to turn his horse's head and came out, and they collided directly. The guards avoided again, fell to the ground again, and ate a mouthful. of mud. They quickly got up and wanted to go in to check how the food and forage were going. Jia Da and Jia Er arrived again. They were too lazy to go in. Jia Da drove his horse and grabbed the curtain of the tent. It was very fast, and his hands were so strong that he pulled the door curtain and directly pulled it off. The falling door curtain also covered the two of them by the way.
Jia Er threw the torch inside, and the open flame came into contact with the lamp oil, and it ignited with a "bang", which immediately turned into a raging fire.
The three of them had completed their tasks, so they hurried to Xue Ziqin's side.
"General!" Jiang also saw Xue Ziqin's back and shouted, "It's done!"
When Xue Ziqin heard the words, he didn't reply, he put two fingers in his mouth, and a loud whistle sounded.
Speaking of which, the scene was quite bizarre. As soon as the whistle sounded, no matter whether it was a disturbance or a fight, as long as it was Xue Ziqin's men, they immediately stopped what they were doing, turned their horses around and went back the same way. Xue Ziqin didn't know how the other two teams were doing. The whistle only informed the people he was bringing. However, Guo Linchong and Zhou Xiao's personalities, he knows, no matter what, the task will be achieved.
The group ran straight to the place that was far away from the Wuqu Camp, near the boundary of Yuzhou, and stopped—this was the meeting point they agreed upon. Xue Ziqin and the others arrived first. There was no one there. He dismounted and began to count the number of people.
There were a hundred people in total, and fourteen died in action, including the horses. It would be a lie to say that Xue Ziqin was not distressed. These were all the old man's personal soldiers, and they were all well-trained. But this way of playing more with less, this team has no more than 14 talents, but it can be regarded as a great victory.
He looked at the Wuqu camp with satisfaction and the sky-high flames, and when he thought of King Wuqu returning to see the collapse of his anger, he was so happy that he wanted to laugh.
It didn't take long for Guo Linchong and Zhou Xiao's men to come one after another.
After the number of people was counted, only Xue Ziqin lost 14 people, and the other two teams were only slightly injured.
Zhou Xiao said: "There are only two hundred people in the two side camps, which is really unexpected."
Guo Linchong nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that the King of Wuqu has a violent temper." Then he looked at Xue Ziqin and asked, "How is it? Has the grain and grass been burned?"
Xue Ziqin hadn't answered yet, but Jiang also hurriedly replied: "It's burnt, I burnt it with my own hands. There's definitely not a single grain left of that fire."
Xue Ziqin glanced at Jiang Ye. It was also this action that worked very well, he was in a good mood, but he pretended to make fun of Jiang Ye: "Yo, I've grown a lot, and I'll be rushing to answer."
Jiang was also a little unsure of what he meant by this, so he could only stand back obediently, looking cowardly.
At this time, it was not the time to feel at ease, and everyone rested for a while, then mounted their horses again and ran to the woods where the troops were previously garrisoned.
Thinking of this, Jiang also looked at the firelight, with Wei Lin's face in his mind, and he didn't know what was going on in Hanzhou, whether he was waiting for them to return in the city safely; what about his injuries? Okay for the most part.
After spending more and more time with Xue Ziqin, Jiang also seemed to understand that he was not that perverted. At least not as perverted as Wei Lin said. Jia Da also has his own thoughts in his heart, but one thing is the same as Jiang's - Xue Ziqin is really powerful, and he is not that fierce. Thinking of this, he squeezed his horse's belly, speeded up, ran to Xue Ziqin's side, summoned up his courage and asked, "General! What shall we do next!"
Xue Ziqin heard the words, turned his head and saw that it was him, and understood a lot in his heart.
It is estimated that this young man is worried about his hometown, so he will ask this question. He answered loudly: "Let's see what Wuqu plans to do first, and then go to Qinguan for support."
Hearing this, Jia Da's heart was relieved a lot, and he smiled stupidly at Xue Ziqin: "General! Awesome!"
King Wuqu led his men to chase out a little distance, and the people behind turned their heads inadvertently and saw the sky full of fire at the camp, and immediately shouted: "There's something wrong with the camp!"
But in this pursuit, King Wuqu's team had already stretched for a long time, and he couldn't hear what the people behind him were saying. So, he heard "Something's wrong with the battalion" after another, until it reached General Wuqu's ears. He looked back and saw that the fire was about to burn down all five battalions, so he immediately shouted in a panic, "Your Majesty! Something went wrong! We've been tricked!"
King Wuqu then turned around and saw the flames, gritted his teeth with hatred.
He turned around again to look at the retreating people in front of him. The other party had already put out the torches, and now they can't see anyone, but only hear voices.
"go back!"
As he said that, he drove the horse and turned around again, rushing back.
The general of the Sui country drove out and hurried all the way in the direction of the Sui country. After about two hours passed, he slowed down and dismounted to rest. Surprisingly, he glanced in the direction of Wuqu Camp. When he looked at it, he saw the flames soaring into the sky, and his heart was not good, but now that he was located between Wuqu and Sui Kingdom, it would take a long time to go there.
"Alas, King Wuqu is a waste."
One wrong move, and the whole game is lost. With the situation in front of him, Wuqu's chess is already a waste.
