Hu Zhe returned to his tent and kicked the table to the ground. Because the movement was too big, it caused a wound on his butt. His whole body was in pain and he bared his teeth and cursed.
"I think Pang Nuan was so frightened by Qin last time that he gave up many opportunities. It's true that the older you get, the less courageous you become."
If it weren't for the fact that this was a barracks, Hu Noi might have exploded. Just when Hu Noi was touching his butt and insulting Pang Nuan in his heart, the bodyguard came to Hu Noi's side with the golden sore medicine and said
"General, your medicine."
"Leave it there." Hu Le lay on the bed and said, "How is the situation in the Qin Army's camp?"
The guard put the medicine on the table and said
"Back to the general, the Qin army's camp seems to have not changed at all, but judging from the cooking smoke, it seems to be a little missing. There is even no smoke rising in some camps."
"There's no smoke?" Hu Zou lay on the bed and rolled his eyes. Now is the time to make food. Generally speaking, soldiers make food in their own camps. There are ten people in one stove. When leading troops to fight, they need it first. It is to judge the number of enemies. Generally, the number of people is judged from the flags. One thousand people are one flag, ten people are one stove. The Qin army camp has at least 50,000 people. If cooking is done, there should be constant smoke.
"Yes, General," the guard said.
"Help me go to the top of the city." Hu Noi stood up and said without looking at the food on the table.
"promise."
With the help of his personal guards, Hu Noi came to the top of the city and looked at the smoke above the Qin army's camp. Hu Noi narrowed his eyes and said to his personal guards, "Let's go back!"
After returning to the camp again, Hu Zou pulled his bodyguard in front of him and said
"Go and call the two captains under my command. I have something to say."
"promise."
Soon two armored captains came to Hu Zhe's tent. After saluting, Hu Zhe looked at the two captains and said
"You all followed me through life and death. I always think that I am not bad to you, and I reward you with jewels and status no less. Will you help me if I have a problem now?"
The two lieutenants looked at each other and nodded.
"We followed the general and fought our way out of the soldiers step by step. The general had nothing to say to us. As long as the general ordered us, we would definitely do it."
"Okay, now I want you to attack the Qin army's camp with me tonight. Do you dare to go?" Hu He looked at the captain under his command and asked. The troops under his command followed him step by step. , can be said to be his pro-soldier, but now there is still Pang Nuan above him. It is against military law to attack rashly without a general.
"If there is a general's order, we have nothing to say. It doesn't matter even if we lose our lives, but general, if you disobey the military order and attack rashly, you will be beheaded." A school lieutenant advised.
"Of course I know that Pang Nuan is old and has no courage at all. When cooking today, the smoke from the Qin Army's camp was intermittent. Some of the camps were obviously empty. I judge that the number of people in the Qin Army's camp should be less than 50,000. According to As for the spies, some people will secretly leave the Qin army camp every night. It is most likely that they will take advantage of the darkness to support Yang Duanhe at midnight, and we will take advantage of their evacuation to rush in with five thousand elites. Set fire to their food and grass." Hu Sui revealed his plan.
The two captains were still a little hesitant. They were not afraid to follow Hu Zou and rush to kill the enemy, but it would be difficult for them to disobey military orders.
"I know what you are thinking, you are afraid of disobeying military orders, but now the Qin army is constantly attacking Liyang and Yecheng. If we are joined by them, HD will be in danger, and there are only five thousand of us, and I will lead it myself. Go ahead. If there is an ambush, it will only be a loss for us. It will not affect the army. If we succeed, then we will have done a great job. Pang Nuan is already over seventy, and his courage has been lost after the last failure of the alliance. Hey, hey When Nuonuo really waits until the Qin army joins forces to surround HD, what we will face is the wrath of the king.
The choice is up to you. Do you want to take a gamble with me, or continue to wait here for HD to be surrounded? The king is angry. To tell you the truth, I have already submitted a letter to impeach Pang Nuan for wasting the opportunity to fight. I am afraid that the court will soon punish Conclusion has been reached. " Hu Zhe continued.
After Hu Zhe finished speaking, the big tent fell into a deathly silence. The two captains looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, they bowed their hands to Hu Zhe and said
"I would like to go with the general."
"Okay, I know I read you right. You go back and select your most elite subordinates. Each of you selects 2,500 people. I will take my personal guards and secretly leave the city at midnight tonight to attack the Qin army's camp." Hu Zhe said.
"promise!"
After the two captains left, Hu Noi's eyes gradually became darker and he murmured to himself:
"It's okay if Li Mu suppresses me. Pang Nuan, can't you live in peace and contentment? Your courage as a general is gone. You are really old, so let me take your place."
Late at night, at midnight, a small group of men and horses slipped out of the city of Yanyu under the cover of darkness. They looked at the Qin army camp just around the corner and waited patiently for the scouts to come back. As footsteps sounded in front, a scout came back. Okay, he saluted Hu Zou and said
"General, as the general expected, the Qin Army camp here is empty, and the tents inside are filled with straw men. It is the Qin Army who deceived us."
"Okay, how are the soldiers on patrol?" Hu He asked.
"The soldiers are still patrolling, and they look like the Qin army. However, there is actually a lack of personnel, and the number of patrols is not as good as before." The scout continued.
"Very good." Hu Zhe got on his horse and looked at the soldiers behind him and shouted, "The time has come for brothers to make contributions. Follow me and charge into the Qin army's camp. As long as we come back alive, we will all be heroes!!"
"Charge!" Hu Zhe crossed his legs and rushed toward the Qin army camp, and the soldiers behind him also rushed out after Hu Zhe.
At this time, the Qin army guarding the camp looked at the Zhao army that suddenly rushed out. They quickly reacted, shot out the crossbow arrows in their hands, and rushed towards the depths of the camp. Seeing this, Hu Noi took the lead and rushed in without stopping. As Zhao Jun rushed out of the camp, he quickly opened a tent and saw several straw men standing inside.
"Hahaha, brothers, the Qin army secretly evacuated, and the food and grass must not be evacuated in time. Come with me and burn the Qin army's food and grass." Hu Noi led the soldiers and rushed to the location of the Qin army's food and grass. He knew that the Qin army that had just escaped would definitely The entire Qin army was notified, so their time was limited.
Hu Zhe led the army to the location of the grain and grass. A soldier opened a granary, which was filled with grain. Hu Zhe shouted
"Pour kerosene on it, light a fire and evacuate."
As the granary was set on fire, the sound of Qin troops fighting came from all around, and Hu Noi shouted
"withdraw!!"
Five thousand Zhao troops suddenly broke out towards the outside of the camp. At this time, Yan and Pang Nuan, who were watching the map in the city, were suddenly alerted by the soldiers.
"What's going on?" Pang Nuan said looking at the panicked soldier.
"General, there is a fire in the Qin Army's camp. Our scouts came to report that it was General Huzhe who led five thousand soldiers to attack the Qin Army's camp at night and burned their food and grass. Now General Huzhe is trapped in the Qin Army's camp. Battalion,” the soldier shouted.
"What!?" Pang Nuan came to the soldiers and grabbed them. He didn't believe his ears. He attacked the Qin army's camp at night and burned their food and grass? Although Hu Zhu was somewhat capable, he would still believe it if Li Mu did such a thing. However, he was somewhat skeptical that Hu Zhu, a reckless man, would do such a thing.
"Yes, General, if you don't believe it, look in the direction of the Qin Army's camp. The fire has spread over there. General Hu Zou's scouts asked us to support quickly. Now the entire Qin Army's camp is empty. General, please support my general as soon as possible. "The scout covered in blood said to Pang Nuan.
"You said the Qin army's camp was empty?" Pang Nuan said in a deep voice.
"Yes, there are some straw men in the Qin army's camp. They have all gone to support Yang Duanhe. General, don't hesitate. If you continue to hesitate, our general will not be able to get out." The scout said with tears in his eyes.
Pang Nuan looked at the fire in the distance with a complicated expression. Did he really think too much? The goal of the Qin army was not to eliminate their effective forces, but to attack HD? He knew very well that the goal of the Qin army was to cripple the State of Zhao so that the State of Zhao could not stop Qin from destroying Han. Although attacking HD could indeed have the effect of crippling the State of Zhao, the cost was too high. Pang Nuan did not believe that this was Wang Jian. Things can be done, but the battles between Yecheng and Liyang made it clear that the Qin army's purpose was HD.
This made Pang Nuan not know what to choose for a moment. The scout looked at Pang Nuan who was still hesitating and stood up and said
"Since the general is unwilling to send people, I can't say anything. We have followed General Huzhuo in the north and south for many years. I can't abandon the general. The general is old and no longer has the courage to surprise Xianyang. I’m sorry for being rude, but I can’t waste any more time.”
The scout turned around and left. The surrounding soldiers looked at Pang Nuan with faces full of expectation and worry. Pang Nuan knew that if he did not support Hu Zou, he would lose his military morale, so he shouted
"The whole army is ready for war. Thirty thousand of the front army will accompany me to support General Huzhuo. The rest of the army will guard Yan Yu to prevent Wang Jian from making a sneak attack."
"promise!"
As the gates of the city and the city opened, Pang Nuan, wearing armor and leading an army of 30,000, rushed towards the Qin army camp filled with flames. Wang Jian stood on the top of the hill and looked at Pang Nuan and the army behind him, with a look of disappointment on his face. , but it was also expected that if this kind of little trick could fall into Pang Nuan's trap, Pang Nuan would no longer be the general of Zhao.
"General, Zhao Jun has entered the camp. Do we want to move out?" the deputy general asked.
"No, order the army to form an arrow formation to resist the Zhao army, but don't pursue it." Wang Jian said, of course Yanyu is his target. Zhao will be honest only if he takes down Yanyu, who is as good as a shit-stirring stick, but Yanyu is an important town of Zhao. The wall is high and the city is deep. A hard attack will definitely cause heavy casualties, especially since there are enough defenders inside. A hard attack will be thankless, so Wang Jian never thought of a hard attack.
"No." The deputy general passed Wang Jian's order to the scout, and the scout sent the order to the commander who stayed behind to fight with the Zhao army in the Qin army's camp.
"Arrow formation!!" the commander shouted.
At this time, Pang Nuan had already led people to Hu Noi's side. Hu Noi was covered in blood and had an unknown number of wounds. Looking at Pang Nuan, Hu Noi shouted hoarsely.
"Why did you come now! Almost all my soldiers died inside!!"
"Lead General Huzhu to retreat." Pang Nuan didn't explain much. He could only order people to take the surviving Zhao soldiers away. He saw that the Qin army's arrow formation was completed, and they would all become targets if it continued. .
Pang Nuan's army had just withdrawn from the Qin army's camp when arrows rained from the sky. Some Zhao soldiers who had no time to retreat were shot and killed on the spot.
Pang Nuan, who had returned to Yanyu, looked at the captain and general under his command. His face was particularly heavy. Hu Zou, who had been bandaged and covered with wounds, was helped by his guards to the tent. Pang Nuan shouted with angry eyes.
"General, why don't you support me? Are you afraid that I will steal the battle glory? We have all seen the emptiness inside the Qin army, but what about you? I missed the opportunity to attack the Qin army time and time again. I disobeyed the military order and attacked the Qin army privately. Daying, it was my fault, I admit it.
But my five thousand soldiers are innocent. If you had come to support earlier, they would have survived a lot. If you had come to support earlier, if you had rushed over before the Qin army's arrow formation was stable, I am afraid that the Qin army would have been gone. If the battle is defeated, the crisis of war will be resolved. " Hu Zhe shouted to Pang Nuan.
If it were normal times, Hu Zhe would have been stopped by the surrounding captains, but this time no one dared to stop Hu Zhe, because what Hu Zhe said was true. The captains looked at Pang Nuan, and looked at Pang Nuan. Nuan's gray hair and beard made him feel for the first time that this legendary general was getting old and hesitant. Looking at the roaring ships below, Pang Nuan looked down at the back of his old hands and couldn't help but doubt. Are you really old?
After Hu Zhuo attacked the Qin army's camp at night and burned the Qin army's food and grass, the news reached the Zhao court, and the whole Zhao country was shocked. They did not expect that Hu Zhuo, who had always been a reckless man, would have such courage and strategy. At the same time, King Zhao Yan Looking at the memorial in his hand about Hu Zou's impeachment of Pang Nuan, he was a little entangled, but in the end he suppressed the impeachment. Zhao Wangyan still respected the old general.
"Okay, let's not discuss it any more. Now Qin's goal is clearly HD, and Wang Jian and Wang Yan must be stopped. Do you understand?" Zhao Wangyan said.
"Yes, I suggest that General Pang Nuan lead the army to fight Wang Jian head-on. The Qin army's food and grass have been damaged and they may not want to fight more. They will definitely give up and continue the confrontation in Yan. However, Qin cannot be defeated like this. Wang Jian may lead The remaining troops will join up with Yang Duanhe, take down Laoyang and join Wang Jian's troops, and then make plans. At this time, we can let General Pang Nuan lead his troops to pursue Wang Jian, and at the same time, let our Zhao army surround Wang Jian and completely defeat him. Surrounded by Li Yang." Guo Kai walked out and said.
"What do you think of what the Prime Minister said?" Zhao Wangyan looked at the others and said.
"I have no objection." The other ministers thought about what Guo Kai said. Although they were surprised that Guo Kai could say such a thing, they were right and they agreed. Although such words came from Guo Kai's mouth, It’s just incredible to say it.
