Chapter 730: The Battle of the Moonlit Night

The night was dark, even if it was not autumn, the generals of the Bingzhou Army who were quietly driving on the road also felt a chill.

He tightened his collar and said, "The colder the weather, the better, so that the reinforcements will collapse without a fight." ”

After finishing speaking, this general of the state couldn't help but show a trace of hideousness on his face when he looked at the brightly lit Yuan army camp in the distance.

"Hmph, the envoy will actually value Xu Xian, an unliterate."

"We set our target on Changshan, and Gao Lan's guy is busy leading the troops in pursuit, how can he be well guarded? As long as the camp robbery can be successful tonight, I want to see if Xu Xian still has the face to continue to stay in the army. ”

As Xu Xian expected, the generals of Bingzhou looked down on him, the airborne commander, and when he was in the camp, he even tried to lead the troops to rob the camp.

Xu Xian was stubborn, so he could only give this general five hundred soldiers, and after he made a military order, he let this person come to rob the camp.

The five hundred state troops quietly touched the front, and a general said with some concern: "The thief army has more than 10,000 people, will it be too reckless for me to rob the camp with 500 soldiers?" ”

The general of Bingzhou said excitedly: "In the dark night, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, as long as you take advantage of the situation to kill the camp and set fire everywhere, the thief army will definitely kill each other, what are you afraid of?" ”

On the other hand, Xu Xian sat firmly in the camp, as if he didn't care at all about the five hundred Bingzhou troops who went to rob the camp.

On this march, Chen Gong also assigned a cronie to Xu Xian.

When he saw Xu Xian sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "The success rate of this camp robbery may not be large, why didn't the general stop it?" ”

"The failure of the camp robbery is small, if it is broken by the enemy, won't it dampen the spirit of our army?"

"What's more, our army has very few troops, if we lose these five hundred soldiers and horses, our strength will definitely drop by another level."

Since this person can serve as Chen Gong's confidant, he has some insight under his ears and eyes, and it is not unusual for him to be able to say such a thing.

The cronies sent by the Chen Palace also had a lot of complaints about Xu Xian at this time, thinking that Xu Xian was too indecisive.

Although Xu Xian is just a newcomer, he is the commander of the Bingzhou Army after all, as long as he suppresses the arrogance of the general of the Bingzhou with his power, even if the generals are dissatisfied in their hearts, there is no way to do it.

After all, the military law in Guanzhong is very harsh, and if the following offenders really want to be held accountable, it is definitely not a trivial matter.

However, Xu Xian did not pose as the majesty of the commander at all, but followed the will of the general of the state and asked him to lead the troops to rob the camp.

Xu Xian's actions couldn't help but make Chen Gong's cronies despise him a lot.

However, for the current lack of troops, 500 soldiers are not optional, but very important.

Chen Gong's cronies couldn't sit idly by and watch these five hundred people lose, so they were very anxious.

Hearing the words of Chen Gong's cronies, Xu Xian did not answer directly, but got up and walked to the door of the tent.

He looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky and whispered, "It's time." ”

However, it is said that the Yuan army pursued Xu Xian's soldiers and horses all the way, and some people were sleepy and tired of horses after running all day, and after setting up camp, many soldiers could not wait to enter the camp tent to rest.

Not only those Yuan soldiers, but even Yuan Jun's generals and colonels.

After Gao Ran arranged all the matters, he saw that the exhausted soldiers went to rest without warning, and a trace of anger immediately appeared on his face.

He summoned a few Jizhou generals and said in a fierce voice: "When the two armies were fighting, they were not cautious after setting up camp, so they relaxed their precautions. ”

"What if the thieves take the opportunity to rob the camp?"

Looking at Gao Lan's angry appearance, a general of the Yuan army whispered: "The thief army is sleepy and tired of people and horses after a day of attack, and their main target is Changshan, how can they come to rob the camp?" ”

Gao Ran shouted: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." As a commander of the army, how can we let our guard down for various reasons? ”

"Whenever and wherever the enemy will come to raid the camp, be cautious. Only in this way will the enemy not be given a chance to take advantage of! ”

"And that Changshan Zhao Zilong is a famous general in the world, he is brave, unstoppable, and famous all over the world, how can he be treated with common sense? If he really comes to rob the camp, we will all die without a place to bury! ”

The generals of Yuan Jun were shocked when they heard this, and their faces all changed greatly.

Seeing that everyone was repentant, Gao Ran said: "Now go quickly, cut down all the trees near the camp, and send scouts to investigate the surrounding situation, there must be no mistake!" ”

After a few Jizhou generals received the order to go, Gao Ran shouted again: "Pass the order, let the soldiers sleep in their clothes, all the weapons are placed at hand, and the armor will not leave the body!" ”

Gao Ran really deserved to be a famous general in Hebei, and after the orders were conveyed, the entire camp was fully prepared, and it was no longer the loose scene of the past.

The bright moon in the sky, round and full, snow-white and bright, towering and straight, standing proudly in the sky; A cloud drifted by, and she immediately became faint, more seductive and enchanting.

The moonlight sprinkled all over the land, and a group of men and horses could be seen from afar, marching quietly in the night,

However, he said that the general of the state and the state came to the position not far from the Yuan army camp with five hundred soldiers, and saw that the trees around him had been cut down, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

Trees are cut down not to be used as firewood, but to leave no hiding place for the enemy to sneak up on them.

Generally, only those generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have a strong sense of vigilance will make such a move.

The general of Bingzhou looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and secretly thought: "Although it is night now, but the bright moon is in the sky, if the thief army is on guard, our army will definitely have nothing to hide if it moves forward." ”

"Now that there are no trees as cover, it may not be easy to quietly touch the Yuan army camp."

Thinking of this, this general of the state already had a hint of retreat in his heart.

However, he didn't want to be ridiculed by Xu Xian after going back.

What's more, this person had already made a military order before leaving, so he could only grit his teeth and order the soldiers to quietly move forward.

He could only hope that Yuan Jun was not at all defenseless now.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Just when this general and the leader of the state had just touched over there, suddenly a burst of shouts came from inside the tent of Yuan's army.

"Oops, the thieves are really on guard!"

Seeing this, the general of Bingzhou who came to rob the camp changed his face, and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops quickly!" ”

The guarded Yuan army camp is definitely not something that his mere 500 people can shake.

Even if he made a military order this time, if he failed to rob the camp and would be dealt with by military law, he would not drag 500 sergeants to death in vain.

If something is not done, he will retreat immediately, and this general of the state can afford to let go.

Although Gao Ran had rested, his spirit was in a half-asleep state.

When he heard the shouts in the camp, he hurriedly turned over, took his bedside weapon and rushed outside.

At this time, the generals who were left by Gao Ran to keep vigil had already gathered a part of the soldiers and horses and waited at the gate of the camp.

Inside the camp, more and more soldiers were awakened.

Because they were on guard, even if they were suddenly awakened, these people were fully armed and not very chaotic.

Rushing all the way to the gate of the camp, Gao Ran kept gathering the soldiers around him, and it didn't take long for more than 2,000 people to gather.

"But the thieves have come to rob the camp?"

Seeing Gao Ran leading a large group of people to come over and ask, the general Yuan Jun at the gate of the camp breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Gao Ran: "There are indeed about 500 Bingzhou troops who intend to come to rob the camp, but fortunately, the general let people cut down the surrounding trees in advance, and left many soldiers to patrol, so that the traces of the thieves can be found in advance." ”

"When the thieves saw that our army was on guard, they knew that it was hopeless to rob the camp, so they immediately led their troops to retreat."

When Gao Ran heard this, he shouted: "The thief army only has 500 men and horses, why don't you go out of the city to chase and kill, but carefully guard the gate of the camp?" ”

The Yuan general was a little unconfident and said: "The last general is worried that this thief army is a bait, so he doesn't dare to pursue rashly. ”

Gao Ran pondered for a long time and said, "Although your words are reasonable, if only five hundred thieves dare not pursue, won't it dampen the spirit of our army?" ”

"I will first lead 2,000 troops to chase and kill this road and state army, and after you have finished reorganizing the soldiers and horses in the camp, leave 5,000 people to guard the camp, and then lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to support."

"Even if the thieves set up an ambush, they have nothing to fear!"

The generals of the Yuan army received the order suddenly, and Gao Ran did not continue to delay here, and immediately led two thousand soldiers to chase forward.

However, it was said that the general who robbed the camp and the state, after seeing that Yuan's army was prepared, hurriedly led his five hundred soldiers to retreat, but Gao Ran chased after him.

The Bingzhou army is not only an elite division, but the escape speed is definitely not slow, even if Gao Ran led the troops desperately chasing after him, he couldn't catch up.

Seeing that the military camp was getting closer and closer, the general who robbed the camp suddenly sank.

"Now our army is only 3,000 people, and it was a bluff to lure Gao Ran to lead the troops to chase after me, if I exposed the truth in the army because of me, wouldn't I become a sinner in the state?"

Thinking of this, this general couldn't help but feel very complicated in his heart.

He suddenly stopped, looking at the somewhat stunned faces behind him under the moonlight, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

He hoarsely said, "Brothers, we can't go back." ”

In the face of everyone's incomprehension, he continued: "Everyone knows the truth and the void in the camp, and if you flee back to the camp like this, you will definitely let Gao Ran see the reality and the truth. ”

"At this time, we can only turn back and fight to the death!"

……

The wind blew stronger and stronger, and Xu Xian led two thousand Bingzhou troops to ambush, quietly waiting for Gao Lan's pursuers to arrive.

Suddenly, a scout hurriedly ran over and said, "Oh no, general, the five hundred soldiers who went to rob the camp did not continue to escape, but instead charged the Yuan army without fear of death!" ”

"What?"

Xu Xian was shocked when he heard this, and then he figured out the key in his head, and immediately scolded: "Idiot, idiot!" ”

After scolding, he shouted without hesitation: "The whole army is dispatched to capture Gao Lan alive!" ”

Originally, according to Xu Xian's calculations, the general of the state led the troops to rob the camp, and after finding that the Yuan army was well guarded, he would definitely lead the troops back.

Xu Xian had already set up an ambush here, and he only had to wait for Yuan Jun to pursue him before he could ambush his troops. In this way, even if the Yuan army cannot be broken, it can also dampen the enemy's spirit.

However, he didn't expect that these soldiers would be so dedicated, and would rather die in battle than expose their own truth.

However, in this way, Xu Xian's plan was completely disrupted, so that he had to lead his soldiers and horses to rescue the five hundred soldiers.

When Chen Gong's cronies heard Xu Xian's voice, they were stunned and said, "There are so many thieves and I am outnumbered, in addition to ambushing, how can we confront them head-on, let alone catch Gao Ran, right?" ”

Xu Xian shouted: "What a little bit of worry, I want to kill him as if I was looking for something, all the armies should fight to the death, and the meritorious service is tonight!" ”

Xu Xian said such arrogant words, which made all the generals of the state feel stunned.

However, this was not because Xu Xian was arrogant, but because he spoke wildly in order to boost morale and give confidence to the three armies.

Just imagine, if the commander didn't have the confidence to defeat Yuan Jun, how could the soldiers have the heart of victory?

Sure enough, the two thousand troops behind Xu Xian and the state army, after hearing the boss's bold words, immediately boosted their morale and geared up.

On the other hand, the generals of Bingzhou, who went to rob the camp, led 500 people back to fight, but it was greatly unexpected by Gao Ran.

However, Gao Ran was a famous general in Hebei after all, so he quickly put away the consternation in his heart and commanded his subordinates to fight with the Bingzhou army.

This road was not very wide, and although Yuan's army had the advantage of troops, there was no way to completely spread it.

On the contrary, the Bingzhou army took advantage of the elite soldiers and actually gained the upper hand in a short period of time.

Gao Ran was furious when he saw this, and he shouted violently and moved forward, wanting to kill the enemy general first, and then break the state army.

"Bell!"

When the general of the state army saw Gao Ran killing him, his face immediately changed, and he calmly prepared to meet the enemy.

However, Gao Ran is known as one of the four court pillars in Hebei, and he is definitely not a wasted person, even if the general of the state catches Gao Ran's shot, he still feels his blood surging, and his hands tremble.

"Die!"

Gao Ran was unforgiving, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon going to sea, with awe-inspiring killing intent. The two fought again for five rounds, but the general was already in danger.

"Bang dang!"

The weapon in the hand of the general was finally picked up by Gao Ran, and he saw a spear rushing towards his throat.

His eyes widened, and he shouted in his heart: "I regret not listening to General Xu Xu's words, I will die today!" ”

"Changshan Zhao Zilong again, the thief will be rampant!"

At this moment, a loud cheer came, accompanied by a little cold.

When Gao Ran heard that Zhao Yun was coming, his heart froze, and he suddenly felt an alarm, and hurriedly withdrew the spear in his hand, and then turned backwards.

"Poof!"

An arrow flew over Gao Lan's bent body, directly killing a Yuan sergeant behind him.
