Zhekang's analysis was correct. Now the Qin army was besieging the city with the intention of trapping Qingshan. The elite troops were all on the main route where Xirong fled to the northwest. Xiao Yuan's main camp was located in a place with weak defense, with only a few thousand soldiers. Centaur.
Late at night, Gu Le was encouraged by Zhe Kang and led 10,000 Western soldiers. They quietly came out from the south gate and pounced on the main camp of the Qin army.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Yuan was sleeping with his clothes on, and there were guards guarding him outside the tent.
Not long after, Shangguan Wenruo walked over in a hurry.
"Sir Shangguan." He is a counselor in the army, so the guards are very respectful to him. After seeing him, they also clasped their fists and saluted.
"Get out of the way quickly, I have something important to report to your lord."
"Sir Shangguan, the prefect has taken a rest..."
At this time, the sound outside had woken up Xiao Yuan. He turned over and sat up. First, he recovered from his sleepy state, and then shouted: "Let him come in."
Following his words, the guards outside the tent stepped aside, and Shangguan Wenruo quickly stepped inside.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yuan asked, wrapping his coat with one hand and getting out of bed.
"Sir, the Snow Clan has just sent intelligence that Xirong left the city late at night and intends to attack my camp." Shangguan Wenruo said with a somewhat anxious voice.
"Oh? This is a bit unexpected." Xiao Yuan paused slightly, then asked: "How many people are there?"
"Because it's late at night, I don't know the details, but according to what Lin Chu of the Snow Clan said, there should be more soldiers than our camp." Shangguan Wenruo bent down slightly and saw that Xiao Yuan had put on his clothes, he said again: "Now General Zhao Mu , we are already making arrangements." "Well, don't panic, just meet the enemy." After getting dressed, Xiao Yuan also gestured: "Let's go."
The two of them came out of the camp, and not long after, warning sounds came from the entire military camp.
The call to assemble sounded, and officers everywhere shouted:
"All soldiers of the army! Prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Quick! Follow up!"
The sound of running infantry filled the whole place.
The officers and soldiers of the Qin army were well trained and showed no signs of panic.
With the assistance of the Snow Tribe's military intelligence, Xiao Yuan received the news in advance, which destined Gu Le to be unable to complete the surprise attack at all.
Under Zhao Mu's arrangement, there were not only rows of Qin soldiers stationed on the wall, but also ambushes buried in the camp.
Half an hour later, Xirong's 10,000-strong army arrived. The two sides met and immediately started fighting fiercely without saying a word.
On the wall of the stronghold, Qin soldiers kept firing their bows and firing arrows.
Ten thousand Xirong soldiers, led by Gu Le, were also fearless and rushed towards the camp crazily.
Gu Le took the lead, pointed his mace forward, and shouted loudly:
"There aren't many Qin troops here at all, just kill them with me -"
"Go straight to the commander-in-chief of the Qin army! Capture the prefect of Qin!"
"Whoever captures Xiao Yuan will be rewarded with a thousand fat sheep!"
This is how Xirong motivated his soldiers. Now everyone knows that Xiao Yuan is the lord of Qin. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Under such stimulation, the soldiers of Xirong also screamed and rushed even more crazily. It was as if he was desperate for his life!
This was more like a face-to-face tough battle. Gu Le stood at the front of the crowd, and every time he swung the mace in his hand, he could knock away a large piece of the Qin army.
Under his leadership, the Xirong soldiers quickly broke through the village gate, but after entering, there was no doubt that they were facing an ambush on both sides.
Arrows shot down in unison, with flaming light, like fire rain.
The howling never stopped.
I don't know how many Xirong soldiers were shot to the ground, but they still continued to fight.
There were clanking sounds of collisions one after another. Gule waved his mace and kept yelling:
"Charge! Charge through the Qin army's ambush and capture Xiao Yuan alive——"
Tremendous shouts of killing filled every corner of the camp, and large numbers of Qin soldiers could be seen everywhere, holding long halberds and running quickly to support them.
This late-night battle continued for an unknown length of time. More and more of the 10,000 Xirong soldiers died, but Gule had no intention of retreating.
At this time, Shangguan Wenruo was standing next to Xiao Yuan, observing the battle ahead with him.
Seeing that although Xirong was ambushed, he still seemed to be dying and had to rush this way, especially Gu Le. After leaving the body on the ground, he even rushed out of the ambush circle alone and was galloping towards this direction.
Along the way, there were Qin soldiers who blocked him, but they were all knocked away by him with his mace.
Seeing this situation, Shangguan Wenruo couldn't help but become a little nervous, and couldn't help but said: "My lord, the enemy army has a general who is extremely vicious. In my opinion, it is better to let General Zhao Mu escort your lord to retreat first."
"Why are you panicking!" Xiao Yuan glanced at him.
After being scolded by him, Shangguan Wenruo swallowed his saliva and said worriedly:
"But...but no one can stop the enemy general, and General Peng Shuang is not here. If he comes directly towards you, the consequences will be disastrous. You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, so you must not put yourself in danger..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a war horse rushed towards him. With a loud shout, Gu Le held a mace and glared angrily, aiming directly at Xiao Yuan.
Because the whole camp was full of Qin soldiers with black armor and red tassels. Only Xiao Yuan was wearing brocade clothes, so even a fool could guess his identity.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan Wenruona's eyes widened. He was a civil servant and had no power to restrain a chicken. How could he not be frightened when facing a fierce general like Gu Le.
"Start!" Xiao Yuan reacted quickly. Before the horse could rush forward, he pushed Shangguan Wenruo with one arm.
The latter felt the force and subconsciously let out a scream. He was pushed far away and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the war horse approached, Xiao Yuan stepped aside, and Gu Le tightened the reins. Amidst the neighing of the war horse, the mace in his hand swept forward.
Xiao Yuan instantly drew his sword to block, and the weapons of both sides collided, making a harsh sound of metal and iron. He was also directly pushed several steps laterally by the powerful earthquake force.
He was injured and could only raise the sword with one arm. In his previous life, his kung fu would have been top-notch in the industry. But this was in ancient times, and under the brute force of a warrior like that, the results could be imagined.
However, it doesn't matter whether a master has strong skills or not. What matters is his subordinates and the people he employs.
Knowing people well and assigning them well is the way to go.
Seeing that one strike failed to kill Xiao Yuan, Gu Le was slightly stunned for a moment. Perhaps he didn't expect Qin Taishou to actually know kung fu. After being stunned, he immediately rode on his horse again.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side and jumped directly in front of Xiao Yuan.
"Don't hurt my lord!"
He shouted loudly, holding the halberd of an ordinary soldier. He was tall and tall. After jumping down, he raised the halberd and instantly deflected Gule's mace.
ah! ? Gu Le was shocked, because he knew the power in his hands better than anyone else! But he was knocked away by a small pawn!
Shocked, before he could stop his momentum, the Qin army soldier advanced instead of retreating and bullied him.
