Chapter 474: A Bloody Case Caused by a Mouse
"Gongsun Zhan, you want to attack the grain and grass camp at night, you need to know that the prime minister has been waiting here for a long time!" The spear in Qin Feng's hand circled diagonally twice and said with a smile.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind represents the approach of 80,000 elite Qin cavalry. The unsightly torches in front of them indicate that the intercepting infantry ranks are unknown. Gongsun Zhan's cavalry troops were panicked and crowded together.
"Lord, what should I do!" Yang Zuo's scalp was numb, and his hands and feet were weak when riding on the horse.
Gongsun Zhan's face was pale, and he looked back and forth on the horse, his face suddenly became hideous, and he shouted: "Only the infantry intercepted, and the whole army rushed over." Drum Assault, Assault! ”
The cavalry was able to defeat several times the infantry of its own, and Gongsun Zhan's army calmed down a little. Under the supervision of the officers of the various departments, and to the sound of rumbling drums, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry units also showed excellent military qualities, and they quickly completed the assault formation.
With the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, the cavalry of the Gongsun Army began to pick up speed, and their sharp swords and spears stood up, ready to attack Qin Feng's infantry formation.
Qin Feng looked at the enemy cavalry coming from the torrent, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he waved the Zhenwu Taiji spear in his hand, and shouted: "Set up the Xuanwu array on the spot, General Zhang Liao, you go to the flank, and when our cavalry comes, you will encircle it from the side." The generals listened to the order, led their headquarters and horses, and blocked the enemy's first wave of offensive, and the victory was ours! ”
"Whoa!" Zhang Liao received the order and took his own soldiers away.
Qin Feng was not reckless in using infantry to resist the enemy's elite cavalry, as long as his own cavalry troops killed from the rear, the enemy would be wiped out. So, all he had to do was fend off the first wave of the enemy's onslaught.
"Hohoo!" In the midst of Qin Jun's loud shout, he beat his shield again.
Ten thousand shield-bearers rushed forward. Right in front of Qin Feng, he inserted his shield into the dirt. The sharp spear in the hand is placed on the shield. In just a breath, a steel shield was formed to repel the spurs.
Qin Feng was less than fifty meters away from the front of his own battle array. Xu Chu hurriedly said, "Lord, please ......." ”
"Prepare for battle!" Qin Feng waved the Zhenwu Taiji Spear in his hand and shouted: "True Appearance, I am with you!" ”
"Hohoo!" Seeing that the leader was on the front line, the Qin army did not retreat, and shouted that the morale of the lieutenant army soared even more.
Xu Chu hurriedly commanded the tiger guard, and arranged another circle of defense before the lord.
At the same time, the Qin army's grain and grass camp was in a small soldier's tent. After much difficulty, a rat finally climbed along the rope to the oil lampstand in the hanging tent. Its forelimbs were stained with lamp oil, and its greedy mouth was gulping down and stealing.
"The whole army is on alert, cancel the rest."
"The whole army is on alert, cancel the rest!" The officers of the various departments, the camp tents where they were resting, loudly conveyed the orders of the main general Xu Huang.
The rat was startled when he heard the cry outside, and looked around. The large creatures in the tent had not moved. It could not resist the temptation of oil, and seeing that there was no danger for the time being, it hurried to eat oil in a panic.
At this moment, Xu Huang had already raised his gun and immediately stood in front of the grain and grass camp, among the 10,000 garrisons. Five thousand men were already lined up here, and the rest of the soldiers in the camp were constantly getting up and gathering.
"General, there's news from the scouts. Gongsun Zhan's army has been defeated. A lieutenant general rode up and said.
Xu Huang didn't see joy or anger, and said quietly: "Don't be careless! ”
"Whoa!" The lieutenant said carefully. The heart said that the general was dutiful. What a role model for us.
The soldiers in the tent heard the order and began to get up. The officer leading the group was the first to jump from the bed. He picked up the big knife beside him and shouted, "Brothers, hurry up and enter our guard position immediately." ”
"Whoa!" Amid the cries, the soldiers began to act.
"There are rats!" A soldier shouted at the sharp-eyed rat stealing oil on the lampstand.
The crowd couldn't help but look over.
Let's just say that the rat who stole the oil saw that all the large creatures around him got up, and his liver and gallbladder were broken. It was on the menorary, crawling around, trying to find a way out. But he really responded: "The little mouse goes to the lampstand, and he can't eat the oil he steals." ”
A soldier approached to drive him away, but the officer exclaimed, "Watch out for the lights!" ”
The soldier stopped, but the little mouse went mad with fright because of his approach. I saw it scurrying around the edge of the oil lamp, and because its claws were covered with lamp oil, one of them could not grasp it and fell down, and fell down in the air. In fright, his tail flicked wildly, and he immediately knocked over the oil lamp on the lampstand.
With a snap, the rat fell to the ground, and due to falling from a height, it stopped for a while and could not move.
At this moment, the oil lamp on the lampstand tumbled a few times and fell. At this moment, in the eyes of the soldiers in the tent, time seemed to stop, and the oil lamp slowly fell, approaching the ground. With a bang, it smashed right on the mouse's body.
......Boom, the rat hair was soaked in oil, and the moment the burning wick slashed, the rat became a fire rat.
The squeaky ......, the rat was in pain, and crawled around quickly. Because the lamp oil on his body couldn't be burned out for a while, everything he touched ignited when he ran wildly. Since it is caused by lamp oil, it burns very quickly.
The soldiers were stunned, and more than a dozen fires broke out in the tents. The rat only lasted a few more seconds and walked through more than a month of life in one bunk. Its death, which is an environmentally friendly cremation, does not occupy arable land. However, the time and place are not good.
"Quick, put out the fire!" The officer was shocked. The same was true of the soldiers, who immediately sprang into action and slapped the things that were on fire.
At this moment, the curtain of the camp tent was raised, and an officer came in and said: "Wang Qing, what's the matter, your squad is the slowest, you ......." ”
A strong wind poured in from the door, and the soldier exclaimed, "My lord, don't ......." ”
However, it was late, and the wind caught fire from the fire, and the tent ignited small things such as towels and rolled in the tent with the strong wind. The ancient camp tent was not as sealed as the later generations. The bottom of the tent was blown open by the wind, and a few burning towels were drilled out.
"Ahh The officer was momentarily stunned.
There were granaries everywhere, and the source of fire that blew out instantly ignited the nearest granary, and soon, with the help of strong winds, the fire spread.
The light emitted by the fire was quite dazzling in the night, and Xu Huang, who was leading the army at the door. When I looked back, I saw a granary on fire. A strong wind blew across his resolute face, which was now pale. "Fire?" He was shocked and exclaimed, "Quick." Quickly put out the fire ....... ”
……
At the same time, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry crashed into the battle formation of the Qin army. The impact of the cavalry was very powerful, and even the elite Qin army was torn open by more than ten meters for a while.
The soldiers of the Qin army lost more than a thousand in an instant, but they were not afraid, holding their shields and spears tightly, their eyes glaring at the enemy who appeared in the array, and they did not rashly move against the enemy. Rather, they waited for a unified order. The actions of one person in the battle array are always insignificant, and only unified actions can achieve victory.
The soldiers were waiting for Qin Feng's order, but at this time, Qin Feng was stunned because he saw a sky-high fire flickering in the distance. He didn't have to think about it to know that it was his own grain and grass camp that caught fire.
"Could it be that Gongsun Chan has another strange soldier!" His face turned pale, for he knew what it would mean if the grain and grass were destroyed. It means that 200,000 troops will starve to death.
Without this 200,000 main army, Qin Feng would not be able to suppress the princes south of the Yellow River, and when Gongsun Zhan re-entered the western part of Youzhou, Cao Cao and Liu Bei on the south bank of the Yellow River would definitely act at the same time. The Qin forces that have lost half of their combat effectiveness. It will fall apart under the joint strike of the three parties and disappear into the long river of history.
This qiē flashed through Qin Feng's mind, and his eyes were red in the grinning wind. Suddenly grabbed a tiger guard beside him, and roared, "Order the cavalry troops." Return to the grain and grass camp, quickly. Fast! ”
"Whoa!" Tiger Guard panicked and slapped his horse away.
For Qin Feng, keeping the grain and grass camp is the most important thing. He didn't know how many men had attacked the grain and grass camp, so he immediately ordered all the fastest cavalry troops to come back to help.
In fact, no one attacked his grain and grass camp, but Qin Feng, whose information was unknown for the time being, would never dare to gamble. The choice he made was strategically correct, but it also determined the outcome of the current battle.
Since Qin Feng was very close to the front line, all the soldiers on the front line were waiting for the commander's order. However, he ordered the Huwei to send the cavalry back to help, which delayed the time, and the infantry battle formation, which had not received specific orders, suffered heavy losses under the blows of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, and even Gongsun Zhan's cavalry troops advanced along the way, and the vanguard had already come to Qin Feng.
"My lord! Protect the Lord! Xu Chu also saw the fire in the distance, but the enemy had already arrived in front of him, and he hurriedly commanded the tiger guard to fight the enemy in a panic. The tiger guard, who had fought a hundred battles, immediately stopped the continued advance of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
Not far away, Gongsun Zhan, who followed the troops to assault, was also overjoyed when he saw the fire in the rear. He has experienced a hundred battles, and he can clearly distinguish from the rumbling horses' hooves in the rear that the cavalry troops of the Qin army are moving away, "Qin Feng's grain and grass camp is on fire, and his cavalry troops have come to the rescue!" ”
Without the threat of the Qin army's powerful cavalry troops, the Qin army's infantry units were not even taken seriously by Gongsun Zhan. Ahead, under the banner of Qin Zishuai, who was flying high in the sky, there was already a figure of his own troops. In an instant, Gongsun Chan recognized the shape.
Opportunity, a unique opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, appeared in front of Gongsun Zhan. That is, take advantage of the situation to kill Qin Feng.
"Kill Qin Feng, kill Qin Feng!" The shape flipped abruptly, and the morale of the soldiers of the Gongsun Army was instantly high, they shouted slogans, raised the sharp knives and guns in their hands, and rushed to the same destination, that is, Qin Feng under the banner of Shuai.
Killing the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the overlord of the north is the supreme glory for them. Whoever killed Qin Zijin will be famous for eternity.
The infantry was not an opponent of the cavalry by nature, and under the onslaught of the cavalry of the Gongsun army, which had high morale, the infantry phalanx of the Qin army showed signs of defeat, and the battle formation in front was quickly killed and wounded under the strong attack power of the cavalry.
It's a long story, but in a cavalry assault it's only a matter of breaths. Therefore, Qin Feng, who didn't have time to retreat, was immediately surrounded by the cavalry of the Gongsun Army who swarmed in.
"Kill Qin Feng!"
"Killing Qin Feng, immortal feat!"
"Kill!"
In this call, Qin Feng's liver and gall were broken, and his face changed greatly, "Hurry back!" He turned his horse and walked away.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei hurriedly called for Qin Feng to retreat. "Protect the lord, the whole army retreats, retreat!"
"Protect the lord!" Zhang Liao, who was on the flank, was also shocked, and hurriedly came to lead the rescue of the 10,000 people under his command.
However.......
"Yang Zuo, block the flanks. The whole army assaulted Qin Feng's main formation, who killed Qin Feng and sealed the lord of Liaodong! Gongsun Chan exclaimed. In his opinion, killing Qin Feng is within easy reach of the Northland, and Liaodong is nothing anymore.
The Gongsun army was almost all from Liaodong, and when they heard the rumors, their morale skyrocketed again, and in the shouts of killing, they closely followed Qin Feng's retreating camp and fought.
The Qin army began to be chaotic, the soldiers did not know the generals, the generals did not know the soldiers, and under the assault of the Gongsun army, it was no longer possible to form a large-scale blockade.
The Qin army was divided, and although Shuai Qi allowed Qin Feng's main formation to gather many soldiers, it bore the brunt of it. More and more cavalry of the Gongsun Army surrounded his own formation, and the soldiers around him became fewer and fewer, and the shape was extremely dangerous.
"My life is at stake!" Qin Feng, whose face was pale, looked around, and in the night, there were all figures on horseback, and he knew that these were Gongsun Zhan's men and horses.
Qin Feng, who was surrounded by Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, was in danger. (To be continued......)
