Chapter 346: Counterattack Battalion

It turned out that when Liu Yin was camping, he had already made arrangements, and ordered the camp to be tied, and there were more firewood and grass in the camp, while Fu Zhi led the tiger to ride the right camp to ambush outside the camp, and after the Qiang people entered the camp, he immediately used rockets to ignite the tent firewood and grass in the camp, and blocked the return route of the Qiang people.

And Deng Pu led the tiger cavalry left battalion to quietly approach the Qiang camp, if the Qiang soldiers attacked in the middle of the night, wait until the Shu army camp is on fire, take advantage of the weakness to take the camp, if the Qiang soldiers have not left the camp, then do not move lightly, and return at dawn.

Fu Zhu said a little strangely: "Brother-in-law, I don't think that the enemy chief is a clever person, it seems impossible to think of a sneak attack in the middle of the night, right?" ”

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "It is precisely because of this person's recklessness that it is possible to send troops to attack in the middle of the night. I expected that this enemy chief would definitely deceive our army from afar, and the laborers were tired and attacked in the middle of the night, and it seems that the siege of Longxi can be solved tonight. ”

Fu Zhi and Deng Pu received the order, and each led the people from the headquarters to go down to arrange.

Deng Pu led 5,000 cavalry to quietly leave the Shu army camp, lurking in a depression only about two miles away from the Qiang camp, seeing the bright lights in the Qiang camp, Deng Pu couldn't help but secretly wonder if Liu Yin was thinking about the mistake, seeing the appearance of the Qiang people eating roasted whole sheep around the bonfire, it seemed that there was no intention of preparing to go out of the camp.

It was freezing cold, and it was shivering to stay in the wild, and a military marquis beside Deng Pu complained: "It is estimated that these Qiang people will not come out, General Deng, or we will withdraw the army." ”

Deng Pu glared at him and said: "The general's order is to let us hold on until dawn, if the Qiang people still haven't left the camp until dawn, we can evacuate, it's only the second watch day, it's still early!" ”

The marquis didn't dare to say anything more, but he didn't think so.

However, Liu Yin has an order first. Deng Pu did not dare to disobey the order without authorization, and ordered the troops to prohibit the noise, quietly waited in place, and closely watched every move of the Qiang camp.

At the time of the third watch, suddenly the door of the Qiang people's camp was opened, and a group of cavalry roared out. Left the Qiang army camp and rushed towards the Shu army camp in the east.

Deng Pu couldn't help but secretly exclaim, Liu Yin really expected the enemy to be like a god, and the Qiang people really sent troops to the Shu army camp to sneak attack. However, even if the Qiang people have already taken action, Deng Pu can only stand still, and according to Liu Yin's order, he must wait until the Shu army camp is on fire before he can carry out a counterattack on the Qiang camp.

Deng Pu was naturally very clear about Liu Yin's intentions, and the Qiang people had just left the village. If you rush out at this time, the Qiang soldiers will definitely come back to help, when the time comes, not only can not take the enemy camp, but there is a danger of being attacked by the enemy, and wait until the Shu army camp moves to trap the main force of the Qiang people, and then attack the Qiang people's village, it is easy to attack.

So Deng Pu was very patient and waited for the signal of the fire on the side of the Shu army camp. After waiting for a long time, I saw the fire on the side of the Shu camp. Deng Pu was overjoyed, knowing that Liu Yin's side had already succeeded, so he immediately led his troops to kill and rushed to the Qiang camp.

After Gosai led the main force to fight, only a small number of soldiers and horses were left in the Qiang camp, and the left battalion of the tiger cavalry was like a rainbow at this time. In one fell swoop, he broke through the camp of the Qiang people and entered the camp.

Most of the Qiang soldiers who stayed in the camp were old and weak, and Deng Pu's first charge had already blinded the Qiang soldiers, and many of the Qiang soldiers were still in their sleep and were crushed by the war horses, and they didn't understand what was going on until they died.

There are many Qiang tribes. Although the strong rise of the Xiqiang King was able to integrate the scattered Xiqiang tribes together, but the people may not be able to do the heart, many tribes and the burning Dangqiang is inseparable, simply not able to work with one heart and one mind, usually afraid of the power of the Xiqiang King, not easy to pick up the tiger's whiskers, at this moment the army is defeated like a mountain, no longer have the intention to fight with the Shu army, one after another is to disarm and surrender, Deng Pu quickly took the entire Qiang camp.

However, Deng Puke did not sit back and relax, he personally led his troops to guard the fence, closely watching the movements of the main force of the Qiang people.

The fierce battle on the side of the Shu camp seemed to have earth-shattering movements, and the sound of shouting and killing kept coming, and the fire burned very strongly, almost burning for half a day. Deng Pu waited for almost a night, until when the sky was white, the remnants of the Qiang people appeared in sight exhausted, and Deng Pu immediately shouted.

Gosse was stunned, he never thought that the Shu army would be a counterattack, and he went to steal the camp without getting half a benefit, but even lost his base camp, Gosai couldn't help but be amazed, and ordered the Qiang soldiers to immediately launch a counterattack to recapture the lost Qiang army camp.

But Gosse seems to have forgotten that the men and horses he has now can no longer be compared with the men and horses when he left the base camp, after losing seventy or eighty percent, there are only a few thousand people under Gosse's command now, not to mention the fierce battle of one night, these Qiang soldiers are exhausted, and they have almost no ability to fight again.

Although Gosse angrily urged his men to attack the camp, and he also killed two battle-feared leaders with his own hands, it did nothing to improve the morale of the Qiang soldiers.

At this moment, the large group of men and horses of the Shu army came from behind, and Deng Pu immediately opened the gate of the wall, led the cavalry to rush out, and flanked Fu Zhi's cavalry back and forth, and dealt a fatal blow to the remnants of Gosai's forces.

Seeing that the general trend was gone, Gosse did not dare to fight anymore, and did not care about anything, but led a small number of soldiers of his cronies, broke out of the siege, and fled westward.

Xian Hong heard the movement outside the city in the city, and knew that it must be the reinforcements of the Shu army that had arrived, so he immediately ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, opened the city gate, and came to respond.

Under the siege of Deng Pu, Fu Zhu, and Zhan Hong, the Qiang people suffered a complete defeat, and in the darkness, the soldiers did not see the generals, and the generals did not see the soldiers, all of them were chaotic into headless flies, in addition to fleeing in a desperate way, the Qiang soldiers seemed to have completely lost the courage to fight, and even the Gosse had fled, which made the remaining tribal chiefs also despair. Except for some who escaped by chance, many of the Qiang soldiers, including the tribal chiefs, were forced to surrender. Because they know very well that the current Qiang soldiers are already scattered, if they resist stubbornly, it will definitely be a dead end, although surrender may not be able to avoid death, but there is always more hope than dying in battle.

After daylight, the battle also ended. (To be continued.) )
