Liu Qi had already explored the terrain near Changsha.

After a heavy rain, near Changsha, there were blisters and mud everywhere in the wild. When walking in the middle, one foot would be deep and one foot shallow. Let alone fighting, even if you suddenly start running at a normal speed and run for a few steps, you would easily slip and fall to the ground.

But the Jingman people are different, especially the lower-class Jingman people. Due to their low farming skills, they have been walking in the mountains, forests, water and grass all year round, and their feet have long been trained to be like steel.

This is entirely an innate advantage and cannot be changed.

In Liu Qi's view, under such marching conditions, the superiority of the soldiers of the Nanman Battalion coupled with his own proper planning, forced him to overthrow Zhang Xian's army.

He believes he can win.

Three days later, Liu Qi followed the agreement and sent troops to attack Zhang Xian's tent at night.

He wanted to use this battle to completely defeat Zhang Xian.

With Zhang Yun and Wei Yan leading two troops and horses as the left and right groups, the Changsha army lurked towards the location of Zhang Xian's camp at night.

In the ancients, night attack was a tactic with the greatest chance of winning, but it was also a highly risky tactic. The advantage of night attack was that it could cause the enemy to panic and make no distinction between ourselves and the enemy. There was no risk of being attacked at night.

The combat effectiveness and defense power of prepared soldiers are basically at the lowest level.

However, the requirements for a night attack are quite high for the attacking army. First, there must be a familiar route, secondly, there must be appropriate lighting, thirdly, the execution ability of the troops, and fourthly, they must be concealed.

As far as these four points are concerned, in fact, the soldiers in the Nanman camp are not very qualified.

Fortunately, Zhang Yun and Wei Yan's main goal in attacking the enemy tonight was not to defeat them, but to lure them.

After arriving several miles outside the enemy camp, Zhang Yun did not immediately send troops to charge. He just asked the troops to wait for instructions from a distance, and sent people to inspect the surrounding areas of Zhang Xian's camp.

The scout troops immediately followed Zhang Yun's order to explore the surrounding area of ​​the camp.

Not long after, the scouts who were sent out came to report to Zhang Yun that they had not found any enemy ambush around Dazhai.

Wei Yan listened and then asked Zhang Yun: "General, there is no movement around the enemy's stronghold. Is it possible that we are overthinking it? In fact, Zhang Xian did not set any ambush. Xing Daorong is really willing to fight for our army.

Working as an internal agent?"

Zhang Yun stroked his three long beards and said with a smile: "Chang Wen, I think you are a trusted general of the prince. I will teach you some principles today to ensure that you will benefit from them throughout your life."

These words were loud, wild, and full, which made Wei Yan feel quite disdainful.

But after all, Zhang Yun's status was higher than his, and he was Liu Qi's cousin. Even though Wei Yan was dissatisfied with him, he didn't want to let it go on the surface, so he said: "I would like to hear the details."

Zhang Yun said with a smile: "The Lord's order tonight is to say that Zhang Xian has an ambush in his camp and asks us to lead his troops out. Then we must abide by the general's order and lead his troops out. Everything else is the same."

No matter, do you understand?"

Wei Yan frowned and said: "But the so-called generals are outside, and military orders are not obeyed... If there is no ambush in Zhang Xian's camp, then if we don't take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, but wait for the opponent to be ready to chase him out, won't we miss the opportunity?

"

Zhang Yun chuckled and said: "If you miss it, you miss it. At least we didn't go against the idea... As for the generals you mentioned are outside, military orders are not obeyed... Haha, that generally refers to the important generals who lead one side, such as the Young Master and the

Liu Shijun is currently in Xiangyang and Changsha. The water far away cannot quench the thirst of the nearby. If there is a big event, the young master will not inform Xiangyang and he can make his own decisions... As for your current status, I am still in charge of the government.

Isn’t it ridiculous for the people under your command to talk about whether they will be here or not?”

Wei Yan sneered at Zhang Yun's rhetoric, but he also refuted it directly and said: "Thank you, General Zhang, for your advice. I will understand."

What kind of person is Zhang Yun? Wei Yan's unconvinced state cannot escape his eyes. He sighed secretly and shook his head helplessly.

"There are some things that you don't understand, and I don't blame you... But you can think about Huang Xu. In order to gain credit, he went out to Xi County and got injured. If it hadn't been for Fujun to save him, he would have died a long time ago. I'm afraid it was Fujun.

I will have to talk to him about this sooner or later."

Wei Yan said nothing.

Zhang Yun didn't bother to mention him.

If he couldn't listen to the good words, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Come here, light the torch!"

This is a good signal for the Changsha Army and Xing Daorong in advance. As long as they arrive outside Zhang Xian's camp, they will use torches to notify the other party, and they will not attack until they get a confirmed signal from the other party.

After Zhang Yun's soldiers waved their torches back and forth in the night sky a few times, they saw that torches were also lit up in the other side's camp, circling back and forth, as if in response to their own.

A flash of flame suddenly appeared in the dark night, which looked extremely strange from a distance.

Zhang Yun nodded with satisfaction, then raised his hand and said: "Attack!"

"Come on!"

The cry of killing suddenly rang out in the night sky, and immediately after, the Changsha army led by Zhang Yun and Wei Yan was seen roaring towards Zhang Xian's camp!

Logically speaking, in the early stages of a night attack, concealment is the main focus, but once the attack is determined, troops must be quickly prepared to attack and make loud noises. If there are drums and horns, they must also make noises.

This is mainly due to night attacks. Due to the dark light, even if one's own team breaks into the enemy's camp, the killing ability and efficiency are extremely limited. It is impossible for the soldiers to enter the enemy's tents one by one to massacre, and sometimes it is easy to kill them.

The soldiers on the attacking side were trapped.

Therefore, during a night attack, the attacker will take some measures, such as setting fire or deliberately letting out a killing cry during the attack. This can effectively cause confusion to the opponent and allow the opponent's soldiers to rush in without complete preparation.

Get out of the tent and identify your own target in the dark to kill the enemy quickly.

Soon, Zhang Yun's soldiers moved away the antlers and rushed open the village gate, and a group of soldiers rushed into the camp.

"Kill..." Zhang Yun shouted loudly, and the barbarian soldiers also shouted in unison, and the shouts of killing suddenly resounded throughout the dark camp.

But at this moment, the camp was not as chaotic as when it was normally attacked at night.

"Sure enough." Zhang Yun muttered secretly: "Bo Yu's strategy is right."

At this time, torches were lit in the enemy camp, and Zhang Xian's army, which had been ambushing the camp for a long time, rushed towards Zhang Yun and others from all directions.

Xing Daorong took the lead, brandishing a big ax in his hand, and rushed straight towards Zhang Yun, shouting: "Changsha thief, how can you let me call you around? Today I will let you become the dead soul of my axe."

!”

"Kill!" Then, Zhao Fan and others from Guiyang rushed out.

"Kill..." Zhang Xian's generals, Bao Long, Chen Ying and others also rushed out one after another, and the shouts of killing ripped through the quiet night sky like thunder.

"Fell into a trap!"

Zhang Yun seemed a little panicked, so he shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat! You've been fooled! Retreat quickly!"

In an instant, the soldiers in the Nanman camp turned their heads and rushed outside the camp.

A large part of Dazhai's fence was even overturned due to the crowding of the Nanman army.

The generals under Zhang Xian's command were all anxious when they saw this.

This is a God-given opportunity, how can we let them escape?

Xing Daorong followed Zhang Yun and others on horseback and said, "Don't let the thieves escape! Kill all these thieves and break their wings, then Changsha can be broken in one fell swoop!"

"Kill!"

"Chase!"

…

There are muddy depressions on one side, dense woods on the other side, and dense mid-mountain mountains on the other side. The terrain is not steep, but it is rich in fog and methane. The ground is muddy and wet. Even when walking on the road, it is difficult to walk.

Deep and shallow.

What's more, it has just been baptized by heavy rain and has become a natural swamp.

In the mountain forest next to Fu'erze, Liu Qi and all the ambush soldiers were hiding in it.

In Liu Qi's view, this battle was an excellent opportunity. It was a chance to defeat Zhang Xian and pacify Jingnan in one battle.

If Zhang Xian can be killed in this battle, the four southern counties will be pacified, and the Liu family of Shanyang will usher in the heyday of spring and blooming flowers.

The land of the four counties will become the source of troops for Nanjun and Jiangxia's front lines, as well as a large storage warehouse for grain and fodder. Jingzhou's power will surely attract the attention of the world.

Because he attaches great importance to this battle, Liu Qi has sent more than a dozen groups of scouts to conduct reconnaissance at Zhang Xian's camp.

"Reporting to the Lord, someone is three miles away and no trace of the enemy has been found."

"Reporting to the Lord, someone is five miles away and no trace of the enemy has been found."

"Reporting to the Lord, someone is ten miles away and no trace of the enemy has been found."

The news brought back by the scouts in batches hit Liu Qi hard.

Why hasn't it appeared yet? How is that possible?

Is Zhang Xian really a scheming person, or is he just shy and afraid to come out to fight easily?

Impossible. If he was really such a person, he would never be able to concentrate his troops and attack Changsha!

Just when Liu Qi felt a little confused, he saw a scout rushing over and said to him: "Master Fu, twenty miles away! General Zhang is coming with the enemy's troops!"
Chapter completed!
