Chapter 19: Shocking Bloody Battle (Five)

At the Han army camp, Zhou Yang and Zhang Piqiang stood by the village gate, raising their eyes to the north. The two of them frowned, just stood quietly, without saying anything, as if they were worried.

Li Guang, Wei Qing, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Yi, Qin Wuhui, Zhang Tong and other generals rushed over, standing behind the two, looking anxious, but no one spoke, and they didn't want to interrupt their thoughts.

After a while, Zhou Yang and Zhang Piqiang were still standing like wooden stakes, without any reaction. Li Guang, Wei Qing and others' faces became a little ugly.

"Master, is there something wrong?" Li Guang couldn't help but ask.

The change he mentioned refers to the death of Emperor Jing, but he could not explain it explicitly, and used the word "change" instead.

Emperor Jing has always been in poor health. If he died now, they would not be surprised at all. However, the emperor's death had too much impact, and Li Guang, Wei Qing and others had to be anxious.

"Hou Chan'er is about to escape!" Zhou Yang did not speak, but Zhang Piqiang answered on behalf of Zhou Yang.

"Hou Chan'er is going to escape?" Li Guang and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although this matter was unwilling to happen, it was much less than the death of Emperor Jing.

"Master General, since Hou Chan'er is about to escape, why did you order to withdraw your troops? Isn't that better if you take advantage of the situation to attack the camp?" Li Guang complained, his tone very high.

When Gongsun He and the others said this, they nodded in agreement.

"If you do that, Hou Chan'er will escape faster. The commander is trying to confuse Hou Chan'er." It was still Zhang Piqiang who was speaking.

If the Han army took advantage of the situation to attack the camp, the Huns could not resist it. In order to avoid greater losses, Hou Chan'er would definitely lead the Huns to escape. The Han army would definitely chase after him without hesitation. The question is, that is, there are 140,000 or 50,000 Huns, and only 100,000 Han army, how many can they kill?

"If Hou Chan'er escapes, this battle will become a battle of defeat, not a complete annihilation, what I want is a complete annihilation!" Zhou Yang turned around, his eyes flashing: "So, I order to withdraw and stabilize him!"

"Master, is this useful?" Gongsun He asked worriedly.

"It's definitely useful!" Zhang Piqiang nodded and said, "When the opportunity is right, the general ordered the withdrawal of the army. Hou Chan'er will definitely think about it. He thought that there was something wrong with the Han Dynasty. If he didn't help, he would stay for one night."

Emperor Jing was seriously ill for several years. Zhou Yang withdrew his troops under the current situation. Everyone would guess whether Emperor Jing died. Otherwise, how could the famous general who was famous all over the world suddenly withdraw? The next thing was to send people to inquire about the news. It would not be a problem to stay for a day and a half.

"If Hou Chan'er doesn't run away tonight, he will have no chance! He can't see the sunset tomorrow night!" Zhou Yang said in a deep voice, pressing his hand on the hilt of the knife, and his murderous aura: "Li Guang obeys the order!"

"The last one is here!" Li Guang's face was stern and stepped forward to take the order.

"You take people to go south and pretend that something big is happening." Zhou Yang ordered.

"Uh!" Li Guang was a little reluctant: "The general has his life, and Li Guang should comply. But if Hou Chan'er runs away, wouldn't I go to Donghu for nothing?"

Li Guang came here because he fled to Hou Chan'er. He went south. If Hou Chan'er withdrew, he would not be able to shoot Hou Chan'er, and he would definitely not want to.

"Don't worry about this matter." Zhou Yang muttered in his ear for a while, and Li Guang took the order happily: "Don't worry, the general will definitely do it! It will definitely do it!"

Li Guang, who was so happy, went there immediately with his men.

"You ordered brothers to prepare a bag of soil, not too much, ten kilograms are enough." Zhou Yang's voice was a little cold: "Also, please go to bed early, if you violate the law, you will be engaged in military law!"

"No!" Wei Qing and the others took the order and went to do it immediately.

"Hou Chan'er, this is your last chance to escape. But you won't escape, haha, there is no chance!" Zhang Piqiang looked north and smiled.

Hou Chan'er was the most powerful general of the Huns and the beloved general of the Junchen Shanyu. If he was killed, it would have a great blow to the morale of the Huns, and it would have a greater blow to the morale of the Huns than to defeat the 100,000 elite Huns!

In the Huns camp, Hou Chaner’s big tent, Hou Chaner and a group of generals were drinking.

The crowd ate meat in big mouthfuls, drank wine in big bowls, and the oil and water splashed everywhere, making it so happy.

A personal guard walked in quickly, came to Hou Chan'er's side, and whispered softly.

"Really?" Hou Chan'er put down the wine bowl in his hand, his eyes shining brightly, staring at his personal guards.

"Sir, it's true! The flying general led the people southward and walked in a hurry. These Han soldiers looked sad, as if something big happened." The guards shouted loudly.

"That's great!" Hou Chan'er clenched her fists excitedly, and couldn't say anything joyfully: "It must be the Emperor of Han who has passed away! Haha! God has helped me!"

Zhou Yang suddenly withdrew his troops, and Hou Chan'er was suspicious of Emperor Jing's death. When Li Guangnan left, he still looked sad. Apart from Emperor Jing's death, what else could make the Han army react like this?

What I originally suspected was finally sure of, not to mention how happy Hou Chaner was.

"Haha! The Kunlun God protects the Great Huns!" The generals were extremely happy and laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.

"King Zuo Guli, how should I deal with Zhou Yang?" Ahu'er looked happy. He was a little suspicious before, but now he has no doubts at all.

"When the Han Emperor dies, the Han army will inevitably retreat south. Li Guang is the outpost. Next, Zhou Yang's army will go from the heel." Hou Chan'er's eyes flashed: "Zhou Yang must be prepared. We cannot fight head-on. Just fall into the Han army. Whenever you have the chance, you will give the Han army a cruel thing."

The Han army had amazing combat power, defending like an iron barrel, attacking like a wind and sweeping away the clouds. If they were head-on, the Huns were no match at all, so they could only find the right opportunity to take action.

"What King Zuo Guli said is extremely true!" Ahu'er agreed very much.

"The Han army is so strong now. They used to be weak and dared not fight against us head-on. Now we cannot fight against the Han army head-on!" Some general muttered dissatisfied.

For decades, the Huns have been suppressing the Han Dynasty. The Han army has not had strong combat power and cannot fight with the Huns head-on. Now, everything has been turned upside down, and the crowd feels very strange.

"Listen, you must not drink anymore after the banquet. Be prepared and clean up Zhou Yang!" Hou Chaner was a good general. Although he was so happy, he did not lose his mind and ordered the ban on drinking. If he had encountered such a thing in the past, the Huns would have had a good time and were drunk.

The generals were extremely reluctant, but under Hou Chaner's strict order, they did not dare to refuse to obey, so they had to take the order and leave.

At the four drums of the sky, Zhou Yang woke up, got up in a hurry, finished washing, used a piece of jerky meat, a bag of horse breasts, put on armor, carried a ring-headed knife, and strode to the handsome tent.

Li Guang, Gongsun He, Wei Qing, Gongsun Jian, Qin Yi, Qin Wuhui, Zhang Tong and others arrived one after another to greet Zhou Yang.

"Wei Qing obeyed the order!" Zhou Yang clicked.

"The last one is here!" Wei Qing stepped forward and obeyed the order.

"I ordered you to lead 20,000 cavalry to guard the camp gate and block the Huns, and no one must escape!" Zhou Yang ordered loudly.

"Piao Tianzi!"

"promise!"

"The other generals, bring their troops and follow me to the Hun camp!" Zhou Yang pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife, his eyes shining brightly.

"No!" The generals responded with a loud bang.

"Master, Hou Chan'er is mine, you can't compete with me!" Li Guang took a step forward.

"Flying General, the battlefield changes very quickly. If you can't kill Hou Chan'er, I can't guarantee that other generals will not take action. I can only say that I will not send you a task and let you chase and kill!" Zhou Yang's face was somber.

"With this sentence from the Grand Marshal, I will feel relieved!" Li Guang and Zhou Yang's reply were very satisfied.

On the battlefield, the changes are too fast, and no one can guarantee that Li Guang will definitely kill Hou Chaner. If he can't kill him, he can't watch Hou Chaner escape, right?

"Set out!" Zhou Yang waved his hand and quickly stepped out of the big tent.

Teams of Han troops took advantage of the night to quietly drive out of the camp and disappear into the night sky.

In the Huns camp, in Hou Chan'er's tent, Hou Chan'er knelt on a short table, dealing with mutton, eating meat in big mouthfuls, drinking horse breasts in big mouthfuls, feeling so happy.

According to Hou Chaner's idea, today was a good day to deal with the Han army. He got up early, after worshiping Risheng, he returned to the big tent to eat and drink. He was ready to eat and drink enough, and led the Huns to fight the Han army.

Hou Chaner was in a very good mood and ate very happily. While eating and drinking, he asked, "Is there any movement in the Han army?"

"Sir, no!" the personal guard hurriedly replied.

"Zhou Yang has many tricks. Even if he wants to retreat, he will keep some tricks. There is no movement in the Han army camp. It is likely that it is his trick, so people have to be sent to get close." Hou Chan'er was still worried.

Zhou Yang, a famous general, was fought and tempered with the lives of hundreds of thousands of Huns. Hou Chaner dared not relax a little when facing such a strong opponent.

"King Zuo Guli, something is wrong!" At this moment, Ahuer hurried in to report.

"What's wrong? Zhou Yang escaped?" Hou Chan'er raised his eyebrows, his eyes as if he was like a sword, staring at Ah Hu'er.

"King Zuo Guli, our scouts have disappeared from the hour of the Five Drums, and no one comes back to report. This is too unusual." Ah Hu'er's brows were frowning tightly.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Hou Chan'er was worried about Zhou Yangji and sent a lot of scouts, but no one responded. That was to deal with the Han army. The Han army cleaned up the Xiongnu's scouts, and there was only one result. Hou Chan'er said in one go: "The Han army has withdrawn! Hurry up, send an order to chase! Hurry up!"

"Sir, sir, something is wrong!" As soon as Hou Chan'er finished speaking, a general rushed in panting and shouted loudly from afar.

"Why are you panic?" Hou Chan'er's eyes flashed with a sharp light, staring at the general, very dissatisfied.

"Sir, the Han army surrounded us!" The general was frightened and his face changed color: "The Han army guarded the camp gates everywhere, and we couldn't go out anymore, and became sheep locked in the sheep pen!"

The Huns had camps, and the Han army only needed to guard the camp gate, which was equivalent to surrounding the Huns in the camp.

Of course, the Huns could forcefully break through the village and rush out at any cost. However, there were trenches outside the village and were filled with spikes. If this were done, the Huns would pay a high price.

Not to mention, the Han army would defend the trench and the Huns might not be able to escape successfully if they broke through the trench. It was no different from the sheep locked in the circle.

The news was like thunder, and it exploded in Hou Chan'er's ears. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his courage was extremely bold, and his fear disappeared in an instant, and his face almost turned out of water: "We have been fooled! We have been fooled by Zhou Yang! We should take it away overnight!"

Although he had not seen the Han army encirclement camp with his own eyes, if there was no such incident, the general would not be so panicked. This is a huge matter and no one dared to say anything.

"Dingdeng!" Hou Chan'er took a big step and rushed out of the tent like flying.

Hou Chan'er rushed to the edge of the village and looked out, and couldn't help but feel dizzy. The Han army drove in groups, surrounding the Huns' camp.

The cavalry of the Han army was divided into many teams to guard the gates of each camp. If the Huns wanted to rush out, they had to pass the Han cavalry first. With the combat power of the Han cavalry, the Huns would pay a high price.

Not to mention, the Han army also divided the crossbow formation into many parts and deployed it on the edge of the trench. The crossbow formation can be far away and can provide strong support to the Han cavalry, which makes the Han army more lethal.

Further away, teams of Han cavalry were arranged in formation, which were reinforcements of cavalry. They would rush to wherever they needed it.

The cavalry rushed in the camp, but because they could not accelerate, and the camp was not open enough to line up, which greatly reduced its power. Zhou Yang placed the Han cavalry outside the camp, and the situation was different. It was an infinite grassland, allowing them to gallop.

When Hou Chaner's thoughts turned, he understood Zhou Yang's deployment. Zhou Yang placed the cavalry outside the camp to take on the blocking task. Then, the one responsible for attacking the Huns camp must be the infantry of the Han army.
