Chapter 659: Raid

Mobile reading

Let's say that Yan Rou ordered his general Yan Zhi to lead two thousand troops to wander around Youbeiping, and the scouts were all over the periphery, in order to find out the news from Jixian reinforcements in time, and in his heart, Yan Rou did not want to start a full-scale war with the Bingzhou army, his purpose was only Youbeiping, but Xu You's plan was too moving for people to refuse, once Youzhou was in chaos, even if the Jizhou army entered Youzhou, it would be difficult to change the overall situation.

Yan Zhi is Yan Rou's younger brother, and his martial arts are not weak, but his ordinary personality seems to be too arrogant, which is also due to his identity.

Not only Yan Rou's department, Gongsun Kang and Bang Dun also selected a thousand cavalry from their command, as long as they got the news of Chen, they immediately sent troops, judging from the news from Jixian County, this army rushed to the aid of Youbeiping is infantry, and the cavalry in the army is only a hundred, which is also used to find out the news, such a force is fragile in front of the cavalry, and only one charge can make these foot soldiers disperse.

2,000 foot soldiers, 2,000 cavalry, once Chen Zhi's headquarters is entangled, the army that arrives later will engulf Chen Zhi.

According to Xu You's guess, in three days at most, Chen Zhi will lead his troops to Youbeiping, after all, Chen Zhi is leading foot soldiers, and he is inferior in speed.

In the dark night, a thousand soldiers were heading towards Yan Zhi's camp, their voices were very soft, but if there were experienced generals here, they would have sensed that something was wrong from the sound of insects around them, everything was too quiet.

In the camp, the soldiers on patrol walked messily, shaking as if drunk, eager to close their eyes and walk, after experiencing the siege, their nerves were also tense, the soldiers on the besieging side, the loss was relatively large, every day you will see the robe departed, was selected to come to raid this reinforcement from Jixian County, they feel lucky, at least not to face the unknown death, above the camp, three or two soldiers gathered in one place, whispering, sometimes can hear laughter, Soldiers in the army love to talk about nothing more than women, the pressure of war, they need to be released.

The chatter gradually became quieter, and after a watch, many soldiers leaned against the camp, closed their eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

I have to say that Yan Zhi is indeed very confident, Chen Zhi did not find obstacles such as antlers outside the camp, which was also Xu You's miscalculation, which made Yan Zhi relax, and no one thought that Chen Zhi's army could arrive so quickly.

After removing the antlers, Zhao Wu gave an order, and a blazing torch appeared in the soldier's hand, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

"Brothers, kill all these enemies." Zhao Wu shouted, and the spear in his hand was picked up hard, and an enemy soldier who had not had time to make a sound fell to the ground.

The light of the fire made the soldiers above the camp notice, and many soldiers opened their eyes and hurriedly rang the gong in their hands to see the enemy soldiers in the army with torches in hand.

The cry and the light of the fire were mixed together, Yan Zhi's army fell into a sea of fire, the thousand soldiers led by Zhao Wu were like tigers descending the mountain, the crossbow arrows in their hands kept harvesting the lives of the enemy, and the method of launching the crossbow arrows was also mentioned in Lu Bu's letter to Chen Zhi, that is, the classic three-stage shooting method in later generations, after the first round of soldiers shot the crossbow arrows, they immediately leaned over to load the crossbow arrows, the second round of soldiers made up, when the second round of soldiers loaded the crossbow arrows, the third round of soldiers harvested the enemy with strong crossbows, and so on. This may not be as damaging as firing a bolt at once, but it is better to have a constant stream of bolts that give the enemy a sense of endlessness, especially against cavalry.

One soldier fell under the crossbow arrows, and this army, which was harvesting their lives in the large camp, made the soldiers under Yan Zhi's command panic, and many soldiers fled in all directions.

But the soldiers who escaped from the camp were surprised to find that there were enemy troops in both the south and the north, and only the west had no enemy troops.

Yan Zhi was awakened from his sleep by the noise in the camp, and before he had time to put on his armor, he ran out of the camp tent with a spear.

"General, the enemy army is attacking, I don't know how many people there are, and there is already a big chaos in the army." The adjutant general rushed over with blood on his face, and said anxiously, the blood on his body is more of his own soldiers, and he suffered a surprise attack in the middle of the night, and the most harmful to the soldiers is his own robe, chaos will make them overwhelmed, and even point their swords and guns at the robe, many soldiers, it is difficult to see things at night, which deepens the fear in their hearts.

"Incompetence, waste." Yan Zhi gritted his teeth angrily, he was a general in Yan Rou's army, how could he have suffered such a loss, this Chen Zhi was just a nobody, thinking of losing in the hands of such a small person, his heart was full of unwillingness.

"The general left quickly, and now there are enemy troops in the east, south, and north." One of the generals shouted.

"Inform the cavalry immediately." Yan Zhi suddenly thought of the cavalry not far from his camp, and hurriedly ordered.

Looking like a sheep being driven, towards the Wuhuan cavalry and the Liaodong cavalry, the remnants of the defeated generals, Chen Zhi's face showed a smile, Yan Zhi's two thousand soldiers, he didn't put it in his eyes, but the strength of the two thousand cavalry should not be underestimated, the soldiers under his command have no experience in fighting with the cavalry, even at night, once the enemy cavalry approaches, it is a nightmare for the soldiers, and the remnants of the army under Yan Zhi's command, if he can flee in the direction of the cavalry, that is his chance.

These deserters are a good shield, can greatly slow down the speed of the cavalry, disrupt the formation of the cavalry, this time is the time for the crossbowmen to exert their might, after ordering the scouts to explore the surrounding news in detail, Chen Zhi had such a thought, so Zhao Wu led a thousand soldiers to raid, and the rest of the soldiers were divided into two parts, ambushed on the south and north sides of the camp, and drove these defeated soldiers in the direction of the cavalry.

As early as when Yan Zhi's camp caught fire, Shanggu Karasuma Lord Nanlou noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry under his command to be on guard, after receiving Yan Zhi's order, Liaodong cavalry general Han Lu hurriedly found the difficult building, different from Wuhuan and Yan Rou, if the attack on Youbeiping can be successful, Youbeiping belongs to Liaodong, before coming Gongsun Kang also specially explained, be sure to come to the aid of Chen to the department to defeat.

"Difficult building, Yan Zhi has already sent people to ask for help, and if he doesn't send troops to go, I'm afraid that Yan Zhi's department will be completely lost." Han Lu's voice said anxiously.

"At this time, it is dark, if Chen Zhi has an ambush along the way, what should I do, in the opinion of this lord, I should order the soldiers under his command to be on guard to prevent the Youzhou army from attacking the camp." Difficult stairway.

Han Lu snorted coldly: "This attack on Chen Dao is mainly based on Yan Zhi, if you don't send troops, after returning to the camp, General Ben will tell everyone truthfully." ”
