"Order all the soldiers to rise!" Qin Sen gave such an order, and he had to walk to the edge of the camp and listen carefully to the direction where the voice came from.

But he soon did not have to listen, for the shouts of killing spread at great speed from the east to where he was, encircling the small camp.

"This is, Siyu!" Chang Jizong was shocked: "How could the Western Prisoners suddenly enter the camp of the Chinese army!" It even hit here! "The camp of their Yongming Left Guard is located to the east of the camp of the Chinese army, but it is not the easternmost one, and there is a guard post separated from the outermost outermost; To the west of them is the Bannerman, one of the eight Shangzhiwei guards who went out to the Western Regions this time, and to the west of the Bannermen is the camp where Yunxi rests on weekdays, and it is also the center of the entire Chinese army camp.

"Quick, all the soldiers go to the camp to guard against the attack of the Western Prisoners!" Qin Sen shouted.

As soon as Zhao Xing, Chang An and the others lay down, they were called up, and they put on their coats and ran out of the tent in a daze. At this time, when they saw so many Western captives surrounding the camp, they suddenly came to their senses, picked up a weapon and went to the camp.

"Prepare all the archers to release their arrows as soon as the Siyu attack the camp." Qin Sen commanded again. Firearms cannot be used on rainy days, although the range and power of arrows will be greatly reduced if they are stained with water, but they can still be used.

Under Qin Sen's command, the entire Yongming Left Guard was ready to defend the camp as quickly as possible. But to his great surprise, the Western captives who were surrounding his camp did not attack, and seemed to be still preparing for them to rush out of the camp; From the east, there were soldiers from the west, crossing the camp and heading west from the roads to the north and south.

Although Qin Sen was surprised in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief: no matter what the purpose of Xiyu was, as long as his camp was not lost, he was not at fault.

But Chang Jizong looked at it suspiciously for a while, and his face suddenly changed: "It's not good! ”

……

……

At the same time, to the north of the Chinese army camp, an army with a total number of nearly 20,000 people was rushing to the camp in the middle of the Chinese army camp at the fastest speed.

"Liu Yi, you go to the front, if you encounter an army that is also marching, shout out tonight's password, and if you can't come up, start attacking immediately; Don't trust anyone who can give the password, but don't ignore it as long as the other party doesn't stop on the road to the south. We are here to rescue Your Majesty, not to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions! While running on a horse, Cao Xing commanded a person beside him.

"Yes, sir." The person called Liu Yi said yes and rode to the front.

"Cao Xing, how could the Xiyu suddenly enter the camp and even force the standard-bearers who are very close to His Majesty?" Song Xuan also rode a horse and followed Cao Xing, and asked after he finished talking to Liu Yi.

"Now is not the time to think about this!" Cao Xing didn't care at all why Xilu was able to enter the Chinese army camp. Whether it is the death of all the guards in the east of the Chinese army camp, or whether they are all wiped out by the western captives in a short period of time, it does not matter, the important thing is the safety of His Majesty.

"Cao Xing, don't be too nervous. The five upper guards, including the standard-bearer guard, closely surrounded His Majesty's place and protected His Majesty's safety. The upper guard is the strongest guard in the Ming Dynasty, even if the east guard is completely wiped out by the west, the flag bearer guard can last for a long time. Song Xuan persuaded again.

"I also know that the Bannerman's combat power is not weak! But Your Majesty cannot afford to lose! If Your Majesty loses, then this battle will be defeated without defeat! Cao Xing shouted anxiously. Although it was raining at this time, sweat was still breaking out on his face. He let go of his right hand, which was holding the reins, and took a handkerchief from his waist, wiped it on his face, and tucked it back into his waist.

"But ......" Before Song Xuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Xing's shout: "Soldiers! Now Your Majesty is in danger, in order to protect Your Majesty, rush with me! ”

"Rush!" The soldiers beside him hurriedly shouted, and then the whole army shouted loudly.

……

……

"Great Khan, the Ming army guard stationed in the camp of the Ming army has been completely wiped out." Shaharu ran up to Timur and reported loudly.

"Leave a thousand soldiers to search the Ming army camp to see if there are any surviving Ming troops. If it is found that those who have been seriously injured or appear to be disabled are to be put to death on the spot, and those who are not injured or seriously injured and are willing to surrender are to be sent to prisoner of war camps. Timur commanded.

He then turned to Jesbu and said, "You send another thousand soldiers to search for the Ming sentinels in the east, and do as you have just been told." ”

"Great Khan, even if the sentinels of the Ming army are still alive, they must have been bitten by fierce dogs, and even if they are rescued, they will not survive. And according to the confession of the prisoner just caught, it was the Jianzhou Guard who was put on guard tonight, and the guard composed of barbarians called by the Khitans had no meaning of being captured. Shaharu laughed.

"You are wrong, it is precisely because they are guarded by people called barbarians by the Khitans that they have the meaning of being captive." Timur said: "When our army attacks the Khitan homeland, these people called barbarians are potential allies of our army, if we can save a few, we will be able to contact them with suitable people when we attack the Ming army in the future, and let them serve our army." ”

"Moreover, even if these sentinels have been bitten by fierce dogs, they may not necessarily die, and there is still a possibility of survival, so there is a need to search for sentinels."

"Yes, Great Khan, I thought less about it." Shaharu said.

"You're still young, and it's normal for you to not think about everything, but you should always pay attention to your studies." Timur taught.

Shaharu said yes again and turned to carry out his orders.

After Timur gave a few more orders, and all the generals did what they were told, the big mullah who was also here at this time half sincerely praised and half patted the sycophants: "The Great Khan is really the reincarnation of the god of war in the sky, and he broke through the camp of the Ming army with such a simple strategy." ”

The tactics adopted by Timur are very simple: first, send fierce dogs to attack the sentries for several days in a row, so that the soldiers of the Ming army are unwilling to be sentinels and become war-weary; Second, at the beginning, when the Ming army heard that there were fierce dogs attacking the sentries, most of them would guess whether the Xilu wanted to attack the camp at night and would strengthen their vigilance, but when such a thing happened for several days, they would get used to it and slowly relax it. With the war-weariness of the sentinels and the laxity of the guards, it will be easier to storm the camp at night.

After that, it's time to pick a rainy night. The firearms of the Ming army were more advanced than those of the Xilu, and firearms could not be used on rainy days, which caused greater damage to the combat strength of the Ming army. Moreover, there is the sound of rain on rainy nights as a cover, and the attack on the camp is not easy to detect.
