Chapter 990: Accidental Hit

No one can answer Chen Xian, Cao Ming, the commander of the cadre army, made Chen Xian a little confused, in fact, Cao Ming didn't think about being wise with Chen Xian at all, he thought that his intelligence was not good, otherwise he wouldn't be in his forties and just a thousand commanders, he just didn't want to fight with Chen Xian, so he ordered all the soldiers to sleep in the camp tent, extinguish all the lights in the camp, and at the same time set up a guard and secret post in the observation area.

The advantage of this arrangement is that the soldiers can sleep enough, and once the enemy attackes, they can get the news in advance and prepare for the attack, he didn't expect that his deployment would make Chen Xianhao think crankily for a while, suspicious, and dare not act rashly.

Chen Xian thought for a while and ordered: "Extinguish the lights of the whole camp!" โ€

What does this mean? The generals looked at each other one by one.

Chen Xian saw that no one had given an order, and his eyes struck: "Execute the order!" โ€

The herald immediately agreed: "Yes! โ€

Soon, the lights in the Song army camp on the high ground were extinguished one by one.

This situation was soon discovered by the observation post of the cadre army, and the news was reported to Cao Ming.

Cao Ming's heart is not big enough to lie in the camp and sleep peacefully, the soldiers are sleeping, but he is not sleeping, and he does not dare to sleep, for a person like him who acts cautiously and does not seek no merit, but seeks no fault, he will never make such a mistake.

After listening to the report, Cao Ming asked, "How long have the soldiers been sleeping?" โ€

"Back to the commander, it's been two hours!"

Cao Ming got up and stretched his arms, "I've slept for two hours, it's enough, Liu Songjun hasn't slept for a moment!" Obey my order, quietly wake up all the soldiers, let them apply anti-mosquito medicine on their bodies, and then quietly assemble without making any noise! โ€

"Yes, Commander!"

A moment later, a thousand cavalry led their horses to the middle of the camp and quietly gathered, Cao Ming waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone lead the horses and follow me out of the camp!" โ€

"Where are you going, Commander?" There was a question.

Cao Ming said: "Lao Tzu won't tell you!" โ€

"Uhยทยทยทยทยทยท"

"Just follow along!"

"No!"

A thousand men and horses quietly left the camp without making a sound.

"Commander, what about the secret posts that stay there to observe and monitor Liu Songjun? Do you want to notify them? โ€

Cao Ming waved his hand: "No, it's not like we're not coming back, once the Song army makes a move, they will warn them, otherwise how can we know Song Jun's movements?" โ€

After two full moments, the Song army on the high ground had been waiting, and Chen Xian was also waiting.

However, the camp was still as dark as ink, and there were no lights or any movement.

Chen Xian has an urge to scold his mother, what kind of moth is this cadre army doing? Lao Tzu has turned off the lights, why is there no movement on your side, this is not logical!

A general was a little anxious: "General, what should I do?" You can't let the brothers stay up all night, can you? If you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight, let the brothers go into the tent and fall asleep! โ€

Chen Xian forced himself to calm down, he thought for a while and then ordered: "General Huang, send a team officer with a hundred people to check the movement of the Qianjun camp, once you find an ambush, immediately retreat, and your side is also ready to respond!" โ€

"Yes, General!"

A moment later, a team of 100 people, led by the officer, quietly slipped down from the high ground where the Song army was stationed, and they took advantage of the night to slowly approach the direction of the camp of the cadres.

This 100 Song troops were quickly discovered by the secret outposts of the cadre army, this is by no means an ordinary reconnaissance, ordinary reconnaissance does not need so many people, this must be a fire reconnaissance.

A series of regular insect chirping sounds, this is a warning sound, the soldiers of the Song army who are slowly approaching the camp of the dry army did not notice it at first, isn't it normal to hear the sound of insects at night in the wild?

After a warning was issued, a secret sentry noticed that there was no movement in his camp, and wondered if all the soldiers in the camp were asleep? So it was transmitted several times in a row, and other secret posts in the vicinity also transmitted his warning back to the camp one after another.

These successive regular insect chirpings finally made the Song army officer who led the team aware of it, but it was too late at this time, and a dozing sentry woke up when he heard the warning sound, and a rocket was fired by him.

With a "boom", a pile of wood drenched with fire oil was ignited, and the fire illuminated the hundred Song soldiers and generals with nowhere to hide.

The Song soldiers were so frightened that they all lay on the ground.

For a long time, the expected rain of arrows did not fall, and the Song soldiers who waited for half a sound slowly got up from the grass one by one, and it was impossible to retreat back at this time, and they could not retreat without an order, and they would retreat without completing the reconnaissance mission, how to explain when they went back?

The officer was so frightened that he fixed his mind and pointed to a chief and commanded: "You, those who have brought you in front, and the others are scattered, follow behind, and everyone slowly approaches the camp, and if you hear the sound of the bowstring, you will immediately lie down, and if there is an enemy from the camp, you will quickly take me as a loyal person and form a formation to resist the enemy, do you understand?" โ€

The soldiers whispered yes.

"Let's go!"

The frightened Song generals slowly approached the camp again.

At this time, the firewood was burning to the sky, and the fire attracted the attention of the cavalry of the cadre army, who had left the camp several miles away.

"Commander, the pyre on the periphery of the camp has been lit by a guard post, it seems that there are enemy troops planning to attack the camp!"

Commander Cao Ming heard the report and turned his head to look at the rear, "Huh-I just wanted to be just in case, but I didn't expect the Song army to really attack the camp!" โ€

One of the generals asked, "Commander, what should I do?" โ€

Cao Ming said: "What to do?" Of course, it is to kill back, pass the order, stop the whole army in place, turn around on the spot, and kill back with me! โ€

"Obey!"

Cao Ming acted decently and cautiously, and this time his caution helped.

One hundred members of the Song army trembled and touched the edge of the camp of the Qianjun, and one by one stretched their necks to look into the camp, but the camp was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

The officer thought for a moment and ordered one of the soldiers to fetch a torch and let the mighty one throw it into the camp.

Torches swept through the air, illuminating the camp for a few breaths, which was short enough time for the Song officers and soldiers to see the situation inside the camp.

Empty!

"Up!" The officer waved his hand, and more than 100 people entered the camp in turn, although they did not find the figure of the cadres through the brief lighting of the torches just now, they still did not dare to be careless.

After the Song generals entered the camp, the lights in the camp were lit one after another, and the lights illuminated the camp of the cadres and soldiers.

"Come on, go and report to Chen to join the army, just say that there is no one in the camp of the cadres!"

A soldier quickly ran to the high ground, panting and reporting to Chen Xian: "Qi Qi joined the army, and the camp of the cadres is empty!" โ€

"What, empty?" Chen Xian was stunned.

This situation was completely unexpected by Chen Xian, which ยทยทยทยทยทยท How can it be? Didn't the 1,000 cavalry stay to contain our army? How did you sneak away?

Chen Xian felt that he had been tricked, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he regarded himself as a character, but the general of the cadre army didn't take him seriously at all, he just played him a trick, and sneaked away with people at night, leaving him and his two thousand men and horses here to feed mosquitoes!

"Let's go to the camp of the dry army!" Chen Xian was not reconciled, he stepped on the war horse and ran down the high ground, to see what was going on, maybe he could find clues from the camp of the cadres.

"Join the army, I'll take someone with you to avoid accidents!" General Huang shouted loudly, and then ordered his men and horses to follow him to protect Chen Xian to the camp of the Qianjun army.

Chen Xian and Huang Jian will bring more than 300 people to the camp of the cadres, and the lights are bright so that the entire camp can be seen at a glance.

"The cadres really withdrew, and they withdrew quietly!"

Chen Xian felt that he was very hurt, and walked around the camp of the cadres, his face was flat the whole time, as if a layer of frost had been touched on it, and he almost wrote a few words "Don't enter the living".

General Huang was relaxed in his heart, and the whole person was not so anxious, he asked: "Join the army, what should we do now?" Catch up? โ€

"How do you chase after the black light? Not afraid of seeing ghosts at night? Chen Xian turned his head and asked.

"Don't be kidding when you join the army, what's the hell there? Why are so many people still afraid of ghosts? No, wait, what does joining the army mean to be worried about being ambushed by the cadres? โ€

Chen Xian was really speechless, none of the people under his command could help, and none of them had a little brain to help come up with ideas, all of them were some big bosses.

Chen Xian sighed as he thought about it.

General Huang was puzzled: "Joining the army, what's wrong with you?" The cadres ran away, we just don't have to face them, and the brothers are safe! โ€

Chen Xian couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and scolded: "Are you a pig? What is the task that General Lee has given us? It's to stay here to block the cadres and buy time for the main force to retreat, but what have we done? Not only did they not intercept the main force of the cadre army, but they also lost the 1,000 men and horses they left behind to watch us. Once we investigate it in the future, you and I will not be able to protect our heads! โ€

The cold sweat on Huang Yuan's forehead broke out, and he said weakly: "Join the army, join the army, I'm timid, don't scare me, what do you say we should do now?" โ€

Chen Xian took a deep breath, "It's no longer possible to chase at this time, the black light is blind, it is very easy to stray into the ambush circle, if you wait until tomorrow morning to chase it, it will be too late, the enemy army is cavalry, and we are all infantry, even if everyone has two long legs, they can't catch up, and when we catch up with the dry army, I'm afraid that the battle has already ended, and we will be sent to death if we go again!" For now, there is only one way for us to save ourselves! โ€

"How?"

Chen Xian said in a firm tone: "Continue to march towards Chengdu City!" โ€

"What?" Huang almost suspected that he had misheard.

And at this moment, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

The two glanced at each other, and a look of horror appeared on their faces at the same time, Chen Xian immediately shouted: "Withdraw, quickly retreat to the high ground, run-"

After shouting, Chen Xian and Huang Jian will get on the war horse and gallop towards the high ground, and the remaining hundreds of Song soldiers were already frightened, and Sayazi ran all the way, only hating himself for missing two legs.

A large number of cavalry of the cadre army rushed over, before the men and horses arrived, the rain of arrows arrived first, several waves of arrows rained down, a large number of soldiers of the Song army fell on the way to flee to the high ground, and when the distance was close, the cavalry of the cadre army collected bows and arrows, and chased and killed with spears or knives.
