Chapter 66 Serial Strategies
Qian Xiaoxing checked the map. If the Hu army was defeated, it might retreat in the north and northwest directions. In order to expand the results of the battle, Qian Xiaoxing immediately ordered the 5,000 infantry and 6,000 female soldiers of the Ye Sakura regiment to ambush the road to these two locations. If the Dark Knights successfully robbed the camp, the 20,000 Hu army might be defeated in these two directions, and it would be completely wiped out and it would not be able to turn over.
Taking one step and thinking three steps, Lu Shengzhong saw that Qian Xiaoxing was meticulous in his plan and secretly admired him, and immediately gave an order. The five thousand infantry and the six thousand wild cherry regiments set off immediately and headed to the intersection where they were about to ambush.
Only five thousand infantry were left in the Emerald City, just to prevent it, otherwise Qian Xiaoxing would have been dispatched all of them long ago.
On the dark and windy night, it’s a good time to kill. Qian Xiaoxing stood on the city wall of the north gate with expectations, holding a telescope in his hand, looking forward to the opening of the show. At the same time, Sima Yiqing was also looking forward to it. This time, he tried his best to design a series of plans. Whether it was successful will be decided tonight.
Two bonfires were lit at the entrance of Hu Jun camp. As the night wind blew, the flames swayed around, and some sparks were blowing out from time to time, disappearing instantly like fireworks.
Two Hu Bings standing guard at the door were leaning against the gate with guns in their arms, bowing their heads and dozing. Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance. Hu Bing looked at the direction of the sound coming from afar. He could not see the night, but he immediately shouted: "There is an enemy attack! The enemy attack!"
Yang Qing had already seen two bonfires in front of Hu Bing camp from afar, and led his troops to rush over quickly. There was no Hu army in front of the camp gate. It seemed that as Qian Xiaoxing expected, Hu army did not expect that the Si army would come to rob the camp and had no defense.
"Roar in and kill at will!" Yang Qing ordered.
Four thousand cavalrymen of the Dark Knights roared into the Hu Jun camp, and suddenly there was a noise in the camp and fires burst out everywhere.
After running for a while, Yang Qing felt something was wrong. Although there were many tents in the camp, there were no signs of Hu Jun. Could it be that these Hu Jun were still sleeping soundly in the tent? He immediately got off the horse and went into a tent to check it, but there was no one inside. He checked three times in a row, all of which were like this.
"Not good! I've been trapped!" Yang Qing reacted immediately and immediately ordered: "Retreat on the same road! Retreat on the same road!"
There was no one in the Hu army camp. An empty camp was set up to let the Dark Knights take the bait, but the Dark Knights were not worried. Even if the 20,000 Hu army was blocked in front of him, they had the confidence to break through.
Yang Qing turned his horse's head and retreated on the same road, but found that a raging fire had been lit at the intersection. Yang Qing couldn't help but become nervous. The Dark Knights were not afraid of swords and guns, or arrows, but were afraid of fire. Seeing that the intersection was blocked by the fire and could not retreat, he immediately ordered: "Break through in other directions!"
The soldiers immediately looked for a way out, but they saw that the wooden pillars surrounding the camp had already burned, and a large amount of firewood was piled up beside the wooden pillars, so the cavalry could not rush out at all.
"Trained!" Yang Qing felt the situation was serious now, so he immediately summoned cavalry to the middle of the camp to clean up the tents and debris on the ground to prevent the fire from spreading.
On the soil slope in the distance, Sima Yiqing and Luo Tianji stood together. The cold night wind blew the two of them and kept swinging their clothes. Seeing the circular wooden walls outside the camp burning into a fire circle, it seemed that the Dark Knights would not be able to run out for a while.
The flame seemed to be a signal of victory. Luo Tianji said excitedly: "Teacher's magic tricks. The Dark Knights of the Si Jun have indeed come to rob the camp. This time they will tell them to come and go!"
The robbery of the camp was expected by Sima Yiqing, so Sima Yiqing still looked calm and said lightly: "We can only temporarily trap the Dark Knights. It is not easy to destroy them, but that's enough. Our purpose is just to hold the Dark Knights, and then capture the Emerald City to capture Qian Xiaoxing. Now Qian Xiaoxing has no Dark Knights, just like a tiger has no teeth, so there is no need to be afraid!"
"Okay, then how do you fight next?" Luo Tianji asked.
Sima Yiqing was about to answer, but a small soldier came to report: "General Luo, the scouts around the Emerald City discovered the new trend of Si Jun."
"What is it?" Luo Tianji asked anxiously.
The soldier replied: "The five thousand infantry soldiers of the military and six thousand female bow cavalry soldiers also left the Emerald City and headed towards the north and northwest."
"Well, I understand, you go down!" Luo Tianji sent the soldier away and turned around and asked, "Teacher, what is the intention of these two troops of Si Jun leaving the city?"
"Haha, God really helps me!" Sima Yiqing didn't expect that the situation would develop so smoothly. He finally laughed and replied: "These two troops were sent by Qian Xiaoxing to block our deserters. His plan was pretty good. If the Dark Knights succeeded in robbing the camp, our defeated army would have no way out. It was indeed cruel enough. However, this helped us and we would not have to work hard to capture the Emerald City. Now there are only five thousand infantry soldiers in the Emerald City. Qian Xiaoxing, let's see where you run this time!"
Luo Tianji thought that if Sima Yiqing hadn't reminded, the robbery of the camp tonight would have been a disaster. According to Qian Xiaoxing's deployment, it would have caused the entire army to be wiped out. He couldn't help but say: "Qian Xiaoxing's plan is indeed cruel, but for the teacher, he is still a monkey, and he can't jump out of your palm after all."
Sima Yiqing smiled and said, "That's because I was hiding in the dark. Qian Xiaoxing now thought it was you who fought him, so he was completely unaware of our plans, otherwise he would have been more careful."
"The teacher designed a strategy that is both bright and dark from the beginning. It seems that Qian Xiaoxing is not prepared at all. So what should I do next?" Luo Tianji asked.
Sima Yiqing said in a deep voice: "The army launched the Jade City, besieged from three sides, stayed at the South Gate for Qian Xiaoxing to escape, and then..."
"Yes!" Luo Tianji immediately gave an order to the army after hearing this.
At this moment, Qian Xiaoxing stood at the north gate, happily staring at the firelight rising from Hu Jun camp in the distance, and said to Lu Shengzhong: "Brother Zhong, look at the fire that was really artistic after burning it into a circle. Hu Jun must have cried and called his parents."
Lu Shengzhong nodded and said, "I remember that in the battle between Black Dragon and Dragon, it was also burned into such a fire circle. Seventh brother, did you order the Dark Knights to set fire to siege the enemy in this way? According to the logic, there should be fire in the camp."
"Uh..." Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and said, "I have never ordered it. Could it be that Yang Qing did it freely?"
After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong immediately said, "Come here, send scouts to check the situation of Hu Jun camp and report immediately!"
Qian Xiaoxing didn't feel strange and asked, "Brother Zhong, you are..."
"Seventh brother, if the fire was released by the Dark Knights, it would be fine, but what would happen if it was released by Hu Jun?" Lu Shengzhong reminded.
Qian Xiaoxing thought for a moment and couldn't help but say in surprise: "You mean, our Dark Knights may be surrounded by Hu Jun's fire circle?"
Lu Shengzhong nodded and said, "I saw this fire that was strange, it's not impossible!"
Although Qian Xiaoxing couldn't believe that Luo Tianji could use such a trick after hearing this, Lu Shengzhong was indeed right. He felt a bad premonition and began to wait anxiously for the report ahead.
Before the news of the Dark Knights had arrived, a small soldier came to report: "Team Commander, Chief of Staff, and a large number of Hu soldiers were found near Emerald City!"
"So that's it!" Qian Xiaoxing finally understood the motive of Hu's army and wanted to take advantage of the plan to surround the Dark Knights to attack Emerald City. Although he sent five thousand infantry and six thousand female soldiers out of the Ye Sakura regiment out of the city, there were still five thousand infantry guarding the city. As long as he persisted until dawn, the others would definitely come back to rescue him. The Hu army would just be unable to take advantage of his life and immediately ordered: "Defend the city gate to the death, and cannot let a Hu army in!"
"Seventh brother, you watch at the north gate, I'll go to the other city gates to see." Lu Shengzhong also felt the situation was serious and immediately went to organize defense.
After Lu Shengzhong left, Qian Xiaoxing looked at the night, Hu Jun raised his torch in the distance, getting closer and closer, and his mood began to get nervous. Five thousand people defended the attack of 20,000 people, which was quite dangerous, especially the walls of the Emerald City were not high and there was no moat, which increased the difficulty of defense.
The Hu army actually besieged the Dark Knights, and he also sent out 5,000 infantry and 6,000 cherry blossom regiments. Are these series of things accidental or are Hu soldiers manipulated? If it was plotted by the Hu army, the Hu army would definitely be prepared and the situation would be even more critical.
Was Luo Tianji pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Qian Xiaoxing began to feel guilty. If this is the case, Luo Tianji is too mysterious. With his own strength, it may be difficult to deal with him. However, Sima Chuchu and Luo Tianji have been dating for a long time, so they should not have a wrong judgment on him. Why, why?
Thinking about these issues, the Hu army had already arrived at the city. After the low city wall was put on a ladder, the Hu army began to charge. There were only 5,000 infantry soldiers in the Jade City, and there were also four city gates that had to be scattered to defend, which was very stressful.
The infantry of the Si army picked up the bows and arrows and shot at the Hu army below, but there were only hundreds of archers, and the damage caused was not great. However, the other Si army fought hard to defend and killed the Hu army who had climbed up the city wall one by one. For a while, the Hu army was still unable to attack.
"Brothers, hold on! Our troops will be back soon!" Qian Xiaoxing cheered everyone on. If everyone can resist bravely, there will be a chance to defend the Emerald City.
"Ba, bha" several refining bombs were thrown down, and a piece of fire was burned under the city wall, and the pressure suddenly decreased. Seeing this, Qian Xiaoxing immediately ordered: "Transfer all the refining bombs in the city and burn them for me!"
The soldier was about to run down, but when he turned around, he saw a huge fire igniting in the place where the refining bombs were stored in the city. He shouted in surprise: "Chief of Staff, the refining bombs are burning!"
Qian Xiaoxing turned around and saw the fire, and was shocked: "How could it catch fire? Who was so careless that I found out that he had chopped his head!"
Suddenly, a group of people ran over quickly on the streets of the city. Qian Xiaoxing became nervous. These people would not be here to help Si Jun. If not, they would be helping Hu Jun. He immediately ordered: "Go down to me a company and block those people from approaching the city gate. Violators will be killed!"
Originally, the defense pressure on the city wall was very high, but more than a hundred people were still going down, preparing to block the people, but they saw the people suddenly pull out their swords from their clothes and fight with these soldiers.
"Cass! The people actually took the opportunity to rebel!" Qian Xiaoxing saw that there were more than a thousand people, and although the Si army with a hundred people bravely resisted, it was gradually getting fewer and fewer.
A small soldier came to report: "Chief of Staff, these are not the people. They use the long sword of Hu army. It should be the spies that Hu army lies in the city. We can't defend it anymore."
