Song Xin looked at Niu Chuang and laughed and asked, "The general asked me to leave, so why don't you leave?"
Niu Chuang snorted angrily, "You know what you're asking, if I could leave, would I still be trapped here?"
"Song, please don't make sarcastic remarks here. The worst we can do is perish together with the enemy." A guard behind Niu Chuang couldn't help shouting loudly.
His words resonated with the other soldiers, "Yes! If you are afraid of death, you are not a Yanzhao warrior!"
"The enemy is coming, even if you die, you must die with one in your arms!"
A trace of pride flashed in Niu Chuang's eyes, "These brothers under my command have bad tempers and disrespectful words. I hope Captain Song won't mind. Again, if Captain Song is not here to rescue, he should leave at night. "
Song Xin showed an indifferent smile, "Don't you want to ask me how I got in, general?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Yes, the enemies outside were surrounded like iron barrels. How did he, Song Xin, break in single-handedly?
"How did you get in?"
"Of course you walked in struttingly." Song Xin showed a meaningful smile.
Niu Chuang raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
Song Xin looked at the outer wall of the camp and said to Niu Chuang: "General, follow me." After saying that, he walked towards the outer wall without looking back. Niu Chuang followed him up the wall and asked again: "Captain Song, you What do you want to show me?”
Song Xin pointed to several camps at the foot of the mountain, "General, please look, although that camp is brightly lit and crowded, can you see how many enemy soldiers there are?"
Niu Chuang frowned, looked carefully for a while, nodded and said: "Indeed, the camp is full of civilians, but there are not many soldiers."
But then he asked in confusion: "Aren't the soldiers hidden inside?"
Song Xin asked: "Excuse me, general, what is the enemy general doing here this time?"
"Captain Song knew the truth and asked, of course it was Chen Lan and the others who were rescuing Tianzhu Peak." Niu Chuang said loudly.
"If you, General Niu, are an enemy general and encounter obstacles on the road, how should you deal with them?"
"If you can pull it out, pull it out, if you can't pull it out, go around it..." At this point, Niu Chuang was suddenly startled, "You mean, Zhang? He has already passed by!"
"But... that's not right. If we don't pull out the enemy's camp, the enemy will definitely rush out and attack my food route! They trapped me here, aren't they just afraid that I will cut off their food route?"
Song Xin laughed loudly, "I thought so too before I came here, but this Zhang? He thought one step further than us."
"I'd like to hear the details!" Niu Chuang's tone was a little more respectful.
"When I passed the enemy camp, I thought it was full of enemy soldiers. So I specially took the enemy's clothes and armor to get through. When I went in and took a look, except for your camp at the foot of the mountain, the other camps only had hundreds of soldiers. The civilian husbands and less than two teams of enemy soldiers are here to show you, General Niu."
"Suspected soldier! It's suspected soldier!" Niu Chuang patted his head. "But our army broke through several times and was beaten back by them. What's going on?"
Song Xin pointed to the camp at the bottom of the mountain, "Has the general been attacking that camp?"
"Well, that's right. Every time I go there, I shoot them back with random arrows."
"Because there are more than a thousand enemy troops there, and they are here to monitor you." Song Xin paused and said, "That is the only strength of the enemy troops. The other camps are just suspicious soldiers."
Song Xin's words were of course processed. His skills naturally didn't require him to steal the enemy's armor. He just used the Earth Escape Technique to sneak in. But in order to make Niu Chuang and the others believe it, they made up this reason.
However, the enemy's empty camp trick is true. The enemy camp Niu Chuang attacked was the closest, so Zhang Xi deliberately left nearly a thousand crossbowmen behind. The other camps were either far away or had impassable roads, so Niu Chuang did not attack them.
Song Xin looked at Niu Chuang's expression of disbelief and continued: "If they let the civilians pretend to build a catapult and pretend to besiege you, you will not be suspicious."
Niu Chuang carefully looked at the surrounding enemy camps one by one, narrowed his eyes and continued: "Then he led his army to rescue Tianzhu Peak secretly. In this way, our army thought he was confronting me here, so they would relax their vigilance! "
Seeing that he had figured it out, Song Xin smiled and said: "Wait until they rescue Chen Lan, then return to the army and eat all your subordinates."
"What a Zhang?! He's so cunning! I underestimated him!" Niu Chuang took a breath.
"General Niu, the breakout will be tonight. Let's catch up and join my men!"
Niu Chuang looked at the enemy camp, gritted his teeth and said: "Send the order! Get up at the third watch tonight, the whole battalion will attack at the fourth watch, let's fight out!"
When his men heard that a breakout was coming, they immediately became excited and rushed to prepare.
It's almost the fourth watch and everything is ready.
Before the large army was about to set off, Niu Chuang's captain came over and said, "General, we still have some wounded soldiers here. I'm afraid we can't take them away together."
Niu Chuang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the wounded soldiers who were still groaning in the camp. He really couldn't bear to give up on these people.
"These are brothers who have followed me Niu Chuang for many years. How can I leave them here! Take them with you!"
The captain looked embarrassed and said, "But...some of them are too seriously injured and can't walk at all."
When Niu Chuang was at a loss, Xu Zhong, who had just been rescued by Song Xin, came over and said, "General, I am willing to stay."
Niu Chuang's eyelids jumped. He recognized this young man as his fellow countryman.
"I can't walk far even if my leg is injured, so just let me stay."
"If you stay, the enemy will definitely break through this place to vent their anger on you." Song Xin also advised, "Why don't you ride my horse..."
Xu Zhong smiled and shook his head, "My brother Xu Maogang died..." Tears flashed in his eyes as he spoke, but he still held his head high to prevent tears from flowing down.
Song Xin also felt a little sad. If he had arrived earlier, one of their brothers would not have been killed and the other injured.
Xu Zhong looked at Niu Chuang and showed a decisive smile, "If all our camps are gone, the enemy will know that the general has broken through and will definitely follow them. Why don't you let me stay and continue to hold them back."
Song Xin's eyelids twitched. This young man had some tricks up his sleeve. He looked at Niu Chuang and said, "General, I think this brother is right. We can plant more flags and set up some straw men to temporarily confuse the enemy."
Niu Chuang was about to say something when dozens of Cao Jun's wounded soldiers came over. They all knelt down and said in unison: "General, we are willing to stay!"
"You..." Niu Chuang's voice was trembling, and Song Xin was also quite emotional. The Yan-Zhao warriors really deserved their reputation.
Xu Zhong said loudly: "General, if we wounded soldiers follow us to break out, it will only drag everyone down. It is better to stay and fight with the enemy!"
"Yes! We are injured, but we can still hold a knife and kill someone!" the wounded soldiers said excitedly.
Niu Chuang struggled internally for a while, and then finally gritted his teeth and said, "Good brother! Please accept my respects from Niu Chuang!"
As he spoke, Niu Chuang knelt down on one knee in front of the wounded soldiers. The wounded soldiers were shocked and quickly knelt down too. Niu Chuang's soldiers also knelt down to pay tribute to these wounded soldiers.
"Brothers, you must escape! Bring a message to my parents and let them know that I died in battle!" Xu Zhong said to everyone with tears on his face, choking with sobs.
"The cold wind whistles, the flags are hunting..."
At this time, someone unknown began to sing a sentence in a low voice.
"The warriors of Yanzhao are so heroic and heroic.
Kill the enemy and capture the flag, vowing not to return it to death
The fame spreads throughout thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.”
Gradually, low singing spread in the camp, and Niu Chuang and his warriors burst into tears.
They suppressed their voices and suppressed their emotions, but tears still burst out.
After singing the song, Niu Chuang stood up with a roar, pulled out the ring-shou knife, "Let's go!"
Before Song Xin left the camp, he ordered people to light three torches as agreed to send a signal to Zhang Hu who was hiding in the dark. Before setting off, he looked back and saw Xu Zhong and the wounded soldiers standing on the wooden wall watching their comrades without any fear. He nodded to Xu Zhong on the wall, turned east and disappeared into the darkness...
A quarter of an hour later...
In the camp at the foot of Qiujialing Mountain, an enemy general ran into the tent in a panic, "Report!"
A big man from Di was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened and subconsciously touched the knife at hand. Seeing that it was one of his generals, his face darkened and he asked, "What's the matter!?"
"The general is in trouble, the barracks is on fire!"
This enemy general is a subordinate general and a close confidant of Zhang Yu. He was shocked when he heard this. The fire in the military camp was a big deal. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes and shoes, so he ran out barefooted. But when he came out, he saw that except for the civilian men who were building catapults in his camp, he stared at Cao Jun's camp on the hillside for a long time. He saw that the flags were still there, and there were still people looking at his camp, which was no different from usual.
The enemy general suddenly felt puzzled and looked at the general with dissatisfaction and cursed: "You bastard, where is the fire? How dare you lie about the military situation and disturb the morale of our army!?"
The general was startled and pointed hurriedly to the east, "General, look, it's another camp!"
The enemy general then looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately frowned. A camp on the east road was filled with flames, making the night look like day.
"General, let's go put out the fire quickly!" the general said anxiously.
The enemy general sneered, "The civilians must have accidentally knocked over the lights at night, which caused the fire." He knew that the camp was just an empty camp to confuse the enemy, with only a few dozen people defending it. Zhang Jie ordered that this matter must be hidden from his subordinates, and only a few close associates, including this enemy general, knew about it.
The general didn't know the details, so he said anxiously: "General, the intensity of the fire..."
The enemy general raised his hand and interrupted him, "No need, the people in the camp will naturally put out the fire. If we go out rashly, if we fall into the enemy's trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and let them escape, you and I will be killed." Engage in military law.”
The enemy general waved his hand and said: "Go and tell the soldiers in each battalion to strengthen their defenses and be on guard. No one can leave. If you find the enemy attacking the camp, don't engage in battle. Shoot them immediately."
The general was stunned for a moment before sighing helplessly, bowing his head and saying: "No... I'm resigning."
In a bush to the east, Song Xin and Niu Chuang looked at the fire in the eastern camp and saw no enemy troops coming out to put out the fire. They looked at each other and smiled.
