(Thank you LZLY Dragon for your support, thank you!) Four more than 16,000 have been served! ）

In the middle of the night, the Shatuo soldiers stationed on the banks of the Greywater River felt the ground below them tremble slightly.

The soldier who was in charge of listening to the ground during the march sent a poignant and sharp warning signal, "A large number of unidentified cavalry are rapidly approaching!" ”

The Shatuo generals, who were awakened in their sleep, quickly ordered to blow the horn and wake up the warriors. He also sent cavalry to check the identity of the cavalry, and asked the people to immediately push the baggage grain carts together to form a chariot formation for defense. The order had just been handed down and the horn had just sounded, but at this moment, there was a sudden chaos in the Minfu camp.

In the beginning, it was just a corner of chaos.

When a dozen or so people heard the sound of the trumpet, they suddenly shouted wildly, like mad demons, and while shouting for their lives, they were defeated, and began to set fire to the grain carts next to them, and began to set fire to the side.

Then, soon, the entire camp of tens of thousands of people began to light up little by little like fireflies in summer. Every time the light is on, there is a riot in one place. Such a spark, when Shatuo coach Cheng Huaiyi had not fully reacted, had already become a prairie fire and swept the entire camp.

In the dark night, the people who were shouting arson everywhere had a striking strip of white cloth on their arms.

"Camp Howling!"

The following generals reciprocated Cheng Huaiyi like this.

The howling of the camp, as it has been seen since ancient times, may have been just a soldier's screaming in a nightmare, and then more people were infected with this hysterical madness, and then there was a crazy riot completely free from the shackles of military discipline.

This kind of "camp howling" mostly occurs in places such as military camps or prisons, where the whole group is under great mental pressure due to crowding, small living space, and training or feuds. On the verge of collapse. Therefore. On a silent dark night. When a soldier or prisoner screams over a nightmare, it often triggers a chain reaction with others, causing the entire group to fall into a state of hysteria and even kill each other, often with serious consequences.

At this time, there are often some clear-headed guys who start to copy up the guys to repay grievances and revenge, because many of the soldiers rely on their fellow villagers to form gangs. So the scuffle began, and at this time the officers who usually oppressed the soldiers became the number one target, and in the chaos everyone was settling their own accounts, and those who should pay their debts could not run. In ancient China, there were many night terrors, that is, camp roars.

Howls are often catastrophic, and when they occur, can sometimes destroy an army outright.

And right now, the situation on the side of the Minfu camp is indeed very similar to the camp. After all, these people were forcibly conscripted into the army not long ago. This time, he was taken out of the customs to go to war. In addition, the weather is hot now, and the day is tiring after a day of marching. The night was dense, the heat was high and the tension was just as the unknown cavalry was approaching, and these people, who had never fought before, panicked for a moment when they heard the war drums and horns in the night, and then caused more panic, and some guys took the opportunity to make trouble, which eventually led to the uncontrollable roar of the camp at the moment.

That's a perfectly plausible reason.

Cheng Huaiyi believed it, but he didn't know how to control this camp.

Usually there is a camp roar, and you can only wait for those people to calm down after they have finished venting. Under normal circumstances, as long as the Shatuo soldiers are not chaotic, but some people are chaotic, it is not terrible. It's a big deal to surround them and let them vent on their own, and when it is dawn, it will be fine, and then punish some guys, and things will be calm.

But at this juncture, there are cavalry approaching outside, and tens of thousands of people are rioting inside, which is fatal.

Before Cheng Huaiyi could figure out how to deal with this, or Cheng Huaiyi didn't expect that they were about to encounter a ferocious attack.

He didn't expect that the unknown cavalry behind him would be the Qin army, and there were so many.

Like a ghost that suddenly appeared in the night, a cavalry formation of 20,000 cavalry came at a speed that was not too fast.

The neat and dense red armor is like a steel wall, and it is like an oncoming sword mountain and a sea of swords, and a rain of guns and arrows.

The gloomy, pitch-black wings stretched out silently, eerie and terrifying.

The sound of cracked and piercing horses' hooves rolled in like thunder from nine heavens, and they swept like a whirlwind, sweeping and destroying everything in their path.

In front of this terrible iron current, the tents of the Khitans, the men and horses, were as vulnerable as paper paste, and the Shatuo soldiers who scattered and fled for their lives let out a desperate scream, and were crushed by this iron cavalry steel wall.

Zhang Zimian and Wang Yanzhang were in front, Gao Siji was on the left, Yang Shihou was on the right, Song Wen was behind, and a handsome and four generals led 20,000 cavalry to roll over.

In the middle of the night, 20,000 light horsemen attacked from the southeast, crushing the thousands of Shatuo people who stood in front of them into pieces. Immediately, they were like bamboos and kept charging.

After several days of success, Cheng Huaiyi and most of the Shatuo generals relaxed their vigilance, thinking that Shuozhou had no more enemy soldiers. Unexpectedly, in this place, at this time, 20,000 fierce Qin cavalry suddenly rushed out.

At this time, the 50,000 people who were originally in their custody were in chaos, riding horses everywhere and shouting defeat everywhere. For a time, there were fires everywhere, and the sound of defeat was everywhere, and many Shatuo people who had just woken up from their sleep did not understand what was happening, but only thought that the army had really been defeated, and began to panic and blindly flee with those panicked scattered and the people.

After a round of charge, Zhang Zimian's cavalry began to reflexively rush back, and then regrouped. This time, Zhang Zimian made the four cavalry armies line up side by side, and the 20,000 people lined up in a long horizontal row, divided into several columns, and attacked again.

Only this time they no longer charged, but slowly rode their horses forward, took out horned bows, crossbow machines, and took out earth-shaking thunder.

It's a sweep, a sweep, and they seem to be moving slowly. But he crushed any Shatuo in front of him.

The Shatuo people are losing ground one after another. They began to flee westward.

It didn't take long to escape. The Shatuos found that they had no way to escape, for they fled to the river Greywater.

The Greywater River is not a big river, but it is also a tributary of the upper reaches of the Sanggan River, and it is a large river in the south of Shuozhou. At this time, it is the summer when the water is full, and the river is 20 zhang wide, and the water is deep enough in many places. Although there are many places where the water is deep enough to wade through, it is necessary to know the rivers well. For these Shatuo people who fled in the dark night. They don't know where to cross the road and where they can't.

With such deep water, even crossing the river on horseback is very dangerous.

And the Qin army seems to have known all this for a long time, they killed from the east, broke the formation first, and then drove away, obviously to drive them all into the river.

It was a massacre!

If it is a real sword and a real gun, a face-to-face decisive battle, even if 20,000 Shatuo soldiers can't defeat 20,000 Qin troops. But it will never be so desperate and so complete. They didn't even have a chance to resist. was just knocked unconscious directly by a flurry of punches from beginning to end, and then was stomped on the throat and hung up for no apparent reason.

It wasn't until the Prancing Horse plunged into the turbulent gray water river that Cheng Huaiyi suddenly realized that tonight was not a roar at all. It was just that the Qin people had sent spies to infiltrate the people in advance, and then launched a civil strife tonight, causing a riot, and it was the Qin army who planned this camp roar.

The Qin army is all the Qin army, and everything is the strategy of the Qin army. If you want to make such a big camp, how many spies have to be involved? I'm afraid that when they recruited people after driving away Li Siyuan, the Qin army had already begun to prepare, deliberately placing people in the Xin Dynasty, so that they could be arrested as strong men.

Remorse, unwillingness, guilt.

He should not be provoked by the generals to ignore the military orders of the King of Jin and lead the troops to battle without authorization.

Now, he has completely fallen into the trap of the Qin army. The damned Qin army came from behind, which showed that they were Zhang Zimian's army that had returned north earlier. They didn't leave at all, but kept hiding near the Yanmen Pass, waiting for him to go out of the gate and send him to the door to throw himself into the net.

He was too careless and set up camp here, but he didn't take any precautions. It would be good if he brought the soldiers and horses into the city of Shuozhou and set up camp, even if Shuozhou was burned, at least there would be a few walls. When it is critical, you can block it, and you won't lose so quickly.

Everything is over, 20,000 soldiers and horses are gone, and 50,000 people are gone.

This is not the worst, the worst thing is that the king of Jin is still in the river and can't come back, and the Hu people in the north are also difficult to go south for a while, but he has already brought out almost all the soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass and Xin Dynasty. Now in Yanmen Pass, there are only 5,000 old and weak, and the soldiers and horses in the counties of the two states of the Xin Dynasty and Guancheng together do not have 5,000.

Not only did he lose all the 20,000 soldiers and horses he brought out, but he also lost Yanmen, Yanmen Pass, and the entire Yanmen Town.

He is sorry for the trust of King Jin, and he is sorry for King Jin.

The war horse was floating in the water, and the opposite shore was in front of him, but Cheng Huaiyi sighed and pulled out his horizontal sword and put it on his neck.

"King Jin, I'm sorry!"

After saying this, Cheng Huaiyi used a forceful side, the long sword cut into the skin, blood splattered out, he slowly plunged into the river, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Dawn.

The lower reaches of the Greywater River were filled with the corpses of the Shatuo soldiers, almost filling the surface of the Greywater River several miles long, and the blood flowed into the river, staining the entire Greywater River red. The Grey Water River has become the Red Water River.

Zhang Zimian rode by the river, looking at the battlefield last night.

Of the 20,000 Shatuo army, less than 5,000 were captured at the end of the day, and the rest were basically dead, a few were killed, most were forced into the river and drowned, and only a few of the most people fled to the other side or broke through and fled to the north.

Many of the 50,000 people jumped into the river in panic and drowned. At this time, the remaining 40,000 people were helping to clean up the battlefield, collecting scattered weapons and fleeing horses, and digging pits to bury the corpses.

The Qin army's losses last night were not large, 20,000 people raided, and the last loss was only more than 1,000 people, this loss is simply not worth mentioning compared to the victory achieved.

"Thanks to the MIA, they made a big effort. If they hadn't planned the rebellion, I'm afraid we wouldn't have won this battle so smoothly. Song Wen walked behind Zhang Zimian and said with emotion.

Zhang Zimian nodded, indeed, their merits cannot be erased.

"This marshal will send a notebook to the king of Qin, detailing the experience before and after this battle, and asking for special credit for many brothers in the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"The brother of the Military Intelligence Bureau said that Yanmen is very empty at the moment, there are only five thousand old and weak, and it is not difficult to take Yanmen Pass."

"Well, indeed, but so-and-so isn't worried about that right now."

Yang Shihou chuckled: "Dashuai is worried about Jincheng, right?" The Hu people went south, and we couldn't come back in time, and General Zhang Yushao was very struggling. ”

Zhang Zimian sighed silently, although it is now proved that his decision to stay was right, but it may have cost his son's life. To King Qin, he is a qualified general, but to his son, he is not a qualified father.

"Hey, you're here, and I'm telling you great news." Gao Si rode his horse and galloped in, with a smile on his face.

"What's the good news?" Zhang Zimian cheered up.

"It's really a great news, Jincheng victory. Just the day before yesterday, Senior Brother Liu and others rushed to Jincheng with 30,000 soldiers and horses, just when the Hu people had already opened a hole in Jincheng. In the first battle, the enemy army was completely annihilated, and the 50,000 legions of Jeruza's assassins who went south have been completely destroyed. ‘

"What about the 10,000 auxiliaries in Jincheng?" Zhang Zimian hurriedly asked, his heart full of anxiety.

Gao Siji said in a deep voice: "Before Senior Brother Liu arrived, the Hu people had already captured the county gates of Zhuxian except Jincheng, and the 10,000 auxiliary troops were almost wiped out, and tens of thousands of people who assisted in defending the city were killed. ”

"My son" Zhang Zimian lost his voice, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.

Gao Siji and Yang Shihou hurriedly supported him, "Zhang Shuai, the young general is fine, but he was a little injured." Moreover, this Jincheng victory, after the King of Qin heard the news, he had already made the major general the Marquis of Jincheng County. Senior Brother Liu and several other generals also have rewards, Senior Brother has been promoted to the Duke of Yingcheng County, and the King of Qin also organized those tens of thousands of horses into a legion, and gave a special title of Wansheng. The Marquis of Jincheng County has been awarded the deputy commander of the Wansheng Legion, which is really gratifying. It's really a tiger father and a tiger son, a father and son soldier in battle. ”

Hearing that his son not only did not die, but also received so many rewards, Zhang Zimian was not only happy for his son, but also guilty for the death of the 10,000 soldiers. If he had come back to help, maybe they wouldn't have died.

Yang Shihou saw what he was thinking, and said, "Soldiers have to face sacrifice, but their death is valuable. The marshal decided to stay, and now we have defeated the Shatuo people, and we will be able to recover Yanmen Pass immediately, and even the entire Yanmen Town Xindai Erzhou, which is also their credit. ”

Zhang Zimian nodded, "Prepare, we will immediately send troops to Yanmen, and we have paid such a big price, we can't live up to their sacrifice!" ”

"Yes, Bingfa Yanmen!" Yang Shihou and Gao Siji responded loudly at the same time, their faces full of excitement and pride that they were about to capture the entire Yanmen Town. (To be continued......)
