Chapter 140: An Unexpected Ambush

The next day, the sky was bright.

At this time, look at the entire Chu camp, where is there any camp, it seems to be a ruin that is still steaming white.

I remember that in the middle of the night, the chaos in the Chu camp had subsided, because of the fire in the camp at that time, so that those Xiong Hu army and Xiong Tuo army who were killing each other, including the Chu soldiers under the command of General Lian Bi, had to work together to extinguish the fire.

Otherwise, the sea of fire will kill everyone in this camp.

As a result, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers temporarily abandoned their prejudices and hurriedly joined forces to extinguish the fire, but after tossing for most of the night, they still couldn't save back this military camp, but only rescued some critical baggage such as grain and grass in the camp.

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, didn't care about the burning of this camp, after all, when he really decided to temporarily withdraw his troops and wait for the spring of the next year to fight again, this military camp would have been a burden that should be burned.

Therefore, now that the fire is burning, Xiong Tuo does not feel distressed at all, after all, the Chu soldiers in the army have already rescued the grain and grass and other baggage.

The only thing he couldn't accept was that they had been busy all night in the entire Chu camp, and even paid great sacrifices for it, but despite this, the Wei army in the Yanshui camp still did not come to attack them.

In other words, their tactics of luring the enemy have completely failed.

"That Ji Run'er...... Is he blind?! ”

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, kicked over the table in the tent with red eyes, and scolded angrily.

You know, he stayed up all night and didn't sleep, just waiting for the Wei army to come to attack at night, so he was ambushed by their Chu army, but Xiong Tuowan never expected that he waited from late at night until dawn, waiting for his eyes to penetrate, but he didn't wait for the Wei army to attack.

This made their Chu army's tactics of luring the enemy completely reduced to a joke: they were planning their side. And even paid a heavy price for this, and what about the Wei army? They just slept for a while.

Xiong Tuo, the angry and corrupt Jun of Xuancheng, kicked over everything that could be kicked over in the tent, and smashed everything that could be broken in the tent, and after venting a stick of incense, he gradually calmed down out of breath.

"Whew-"

Xiong Tuo gasped. While sitting on the ground on the kicked bed, he felt a little disheartened.

Looking at his appearance, several guards in the tent lowered their heads one after another, not daring to raise their heads to look at Xiong Tuo.

After a long time, Xiong Tuo let out a long sigh and said disheartenedly: "Order the whole army, after collecting the corpses in the camp, ...... Let us withdraw. ”

"Yes......"

Several guards came out of the tent with their fists clenched and went to convey the orders of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng.

Not much. The entire Chu camp began to get busy, and all the Chu soldiers were looking for something that could still be used in the ruins after the fire, and by the way, the bodies that had died in the civil strife last night were burned and buried on the spot.

I have to say that last night's accident brought a blow to the Chu army far more serious than the death of their Wei camp and the general Che Yu who were blocked in Yanshui, because most of the soldiers in the army felt inexplicable about last night's incident.

Most of the Chu soldiers who stayed out of the way last night still haven't figured out why Xiong Hu's army fought with Xiong Hu's army. And it was a real fight, and I can't imagine how the entire battalion caught fire.

In the absence of knowing anything. Most of the Chu soldiers who stayed outside can be described as turbulent and panicked.

And when the Chu soldiers in the army were packing up, Qu Cheng walked alone on the ruins of the so-called camp under the pretext of inspecting the situation of the sergeants and soldiers, and silently looked at the Chu soldiers whose morale had plummeted.

I remember that last night, Qu Cheng also prayed that Wei Jun would not be stupid, and not be stupid when he saw the fire in the Chu camp, and concluded that it was an opportunity. Therefore, he led the army to attack at night and commanded him to be ambushed by his father.

But now, Wei Jun didn't show up, but Qu Cheng couldn't help muttering.

He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out why Zhao Hongrun wanted their group of generals to find a way to take advantage of the civil strife in the Chu camp. Isn't it for a night attack to take the opportunity to set fire to the entire camp?

If not to take advantage of the night attack, then for what purpose?

It is undeniable that Qu Cheng is a general who is good at thinking, but even so, at this moment, he can't help but be a little confused.

At this time, a large wave of Chu soldiers poured in from outside the "camp", and the number was judged to be at least twenty or thirty thousand.

Qu Cheng raised his head and looked at it a few times, and suddenly saw the general Zaifu from among those Chu soldiers.

It turned out that these at least 20,000 or 30,000 Chu soldiers were the same ambush soldiers who were lying in ambush in the forest not far from the camp last night.

Seeing this, Qu Cheng hurriedly walked over to salute his father.

"General Zaifu."

"Hmm." Father Zai had already seen Qu Cheng's approach, and when he saw him taking the initiative to salute him, he nodded, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Wei Jun...... Didn't come. ”

Listening to the words of the chief father full of endless resentment and regret, Qu Cheng was secretly funny in his heart, but his face showed a little guilt, and he said in a low voice: "It was Qu who overlooked, and he thought that Wei Jun would be the ......."

"It's none of your business." Father Zai patted Qu Cheng's shoulder kindly, and after looking left and right, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Even if this plan is not successful, if you can use this to make your son die, it is not a bad thing to temporarily withdraw the troops for the next year." ”

Qu Cheng knew that this was the most fundamental reason why Zai's father and Lian Bi supported his plan, so he also nodded.

"By the way, what about the losses in the battalion?" Father Zai asked.

Qu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be helpless and said: "After tossing for a night, the loss of troops is almost 10,000 people, and the camp is even more ...... The general also saw it, and it was all destroyed, but some of the grain and grass in the camp were rescued. ”

"Well, in this case, the loss is the nearly 10,000 soldiers." Father Zai nodded knowingly.

In fact, his thoughts are similar to Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, losing a camp that was originally about to be abandoned is insignificant, and as for the nearly 10,000 soldiers who died in last night's accident, Zai's father didn't care very much.

After all, there are still three months left until next spring, and three months of work is enough to spread the news to the territory of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, so that the generals and officials in the territory can form an army of tens of thousands of people.

They are big Chu, and some of them are people!

"By the way, did Childe say anything?"

Walking a few steps in the direction of the handsome tent with Qu Cheng, Zai's father suddenly asked.

Qu Cheng understood. With some hesitation, he said, "Lord Xiong Tuo has ordered the entire army to withdraw. However, according to the guards who came to give the order, Lord Xiong Tuo was furious in the tent and smashed a lot of things, and the general paid more attention. ”

"Hmm." Father Zai nodded.

In fact, he also knew that Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, had a bad temper, but there was no way, since he had led the army back to the army. should return to Xiong Tuo, regardless of whether Xiong Tuo will scold him in anger.

After that, Zai's father went straight to the handsome tent to return to his life, and Qu Cheng looked at the 20,000 or 30,000 Zaifu troops who were ambushed outside the forest last night.

I have to say that it is really a very hurtful thing to be ambushed in the wilderness for a night in the cold and freezing conditions.

What's even worse is that they have been in ambush for a night, and they have not gained the slightest gain, which makes the morale of the many Zaifu soldiers generally low at the moment. Sitting in groups of three or five silently eating hard and dry steamed buns, few people were in the mood to speak.

Looking at these Chu soldiers carefully, I saw that they were blown white by the cold wind in the night, and there was almost no blood, and even some soldiers were trembling unconsciously.

Seeing this, Qu Cheng couldn't help but fantasize: If a Wei army suddenly attacked at this moment, I am afraid that the Chu army at this time would have little power to resist.

But unfortunately, the Wei army did not attack as suddenly as he expected.

It didn't take long. The entire Chu army abandoned this "camp" that had become a ruined land, and the army was pulled out. Slowly withdraw troops to the west.

Because of the problem of the length of the army, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, gave up Xihua County in the east, and planned to let the army of more than 60,000 people under his command be scattered and stationed in the three counties of Linying, Zhaoling, and Xiping. The reason why Xihua County was abandoned was because Xihua County was in the east of the Wei camp in Yanshui, far away from the Shangshui occupied by the Chu army, and it was like an isolated city. This is not conducive to the defense of their Chu army.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet bright, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, who was holding back the fire in his belly, led the more than 60,000 Chu soldiers to the west of Mushan.

After all, he is not a fool, he naturally understands that the Chu soldiers under his command who have been tossing all night. He was no match for the Wei army at the moment, and in order to prevent the Wei army from pursuing after learning of the situation, he ordered the army to quickly retreat westward before dawn.

After bypassing the Mushan Mountain on the west side, the current 60,000 troops under his command will be divided into three, with Lian Bi leading an army to be stationed in Linying, and another army led by Zaifu to be stationed in Zhaoling, while he himself led the rest of the army to be stationed in Xiping, temporarily avoiding the war and resting for a while.

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, was indeed a little tired.

Thinking that he and Pingyujun Xiong Hu led an army of 160,000 to invade the Wei State, breaking the city and occupying an area, like a bamboo, what a majesty it was, but in just two months, there were only 60,000 people left in the 160,000 army under his command, and even, before Pingyujun Xiong Hu was captured, and then there was a general Cheyu who died in battle.

Xiong Tuo felt that as soon as Ji Run, the king of Wei, arrived in Yanling, the battle situation of his attack on Wei began to become unfavorable, and all kinds of things did not go well.

And when he thought of Ji Run, the king of Wei, Xiong Tuo felt angry.

It seems that this kind of guy who does not act according to common sense makes him feel very tired, and he still hasn't figured out what reason Zhao Hongrun would let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime night attack opportunity.

That's a godsend for no reason to let go!

Xiong Tuo straddled the war horse, stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow bones, which were a little sore, and looked up at the hill called Mushan in the distance.

For some reason, he looked at the hill more and more unpleasantly.

Most likely, after turning the hill, his army will be divided into three and scattered in various cities.

This also means that this year's war with Xiong Tuo will come to an end temporarily.

He was frustrated by the young King Su boy of Wei State.

"Forget it, wait for the spring of next year, and then settle accounts with that Ji Runxiaoer!"

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, thought viciously.

And at this moment, something happened suddenly, and I saw countless arrows shot from that Mu Mountain, which suddenly caused heavy casualties to the unsuspecting Chu soldiers.

"Kill!"

The military flag of the Junshui Army fluttered high on the top of the mountain, and a well-equipped Wei soldier ambushed in the mountains and forests came out and killed it, taking the Chu army by surprise.

"What? The Wei army actually set up an ambush here?!"

Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, was dumbfounded, he never expected that Zhao Hongrun did not go to the Chu army camp that attacked him at night, and actually chose to set up an ambush on the way he must withdraw his troops.

And estimating this strength, the Wei army seems to be pouring into the nest! (To be continued.) )
