——Hedong Daying——
Li Qing, the head of the Li family, came to see Guo Zhenyue and sent a letter: with the school captain Huangfu Chaoyi, he would supervise three thousand light cavalry and march westward with more flags and drums; with Huangfu Longting, the superintendent of the infantry, five thousand soldiers would stay behind in the main camp; Zhou Han himself led more than 20,000 elite troops into the mountain road from the east.
The letter was very simple, only three sentences, but it clearly revealed Zhou Han's military dispatch!
Guo Zhenyue was so surprised that he immediately sent the letter to Jia Dao: "Sir, look, what is Zhou Han's idea?"
Jia Dao glanced at it and laughed: "Zhou Han is so calculating!"
"He first used the attack on Beiyang as bait to induce our army to divide its forces."
"After dividing our troops, our army may judge that the enemy camp is empty and launch a probing attack against the enemy camp."
"At this time, our army's camp was empty. Zhou Han led his heavy troops from the east and defeated our army's camp."
"By then, our army's camp will be lost, our troops will be divided, and our attacking army will be blocked. Zhou Han can use this to win in one battle!"
"It's not easy this Zhou Han! I'm so lucky to have you sir!" Guo Zhenyue was startled and quickly walked to Li Qing, holding his hand tightly: "I have to thank Mr. Li for this life-saving information!"
Li Qing smiled and said: "It's all within our own duties. Mr. Guo and I are all doing it for Hedong~"
"Very true!"
Guo Zhenyue nodded and talked with him about something else: "I know that Zhou Che is standing still outside Jiguan."
"Although my second son is in charge of the county town, he is immature after all... Li Gong came from the northeast, has the internal peace been peaceful recently?"
Li Qing's eyes dodge for a moment, and then he smiled very naturally: "Thanks to Mr. Guo, everything is peaceful. Even if there is a small incident, it is not enough."
"That's good!"
The two talked for a while, and Guo Zhenyue ordered someone to take Li Qing down first to rest.
"gentlemen."
As soon as Li Qing left, Guo Zhenyue put away his smile and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Yi, do you think Li is still reliable?"
"If he comes in person, he is reliable." Jia Dao stroked his beard and smiled: "Before the victory, Duke Guo just left him in the camp. How could he dare to sell us to the court?"
"That makes sense!" Guo Zhenyue nodded and asked again: "Is it possible that Mr. Lai already has plans to defeat the Zhou and Han Dynasties?"
"Of course." Jia Dao smiled sadly: "Just use the trick..."
The next day.
Zhou Han received the news: Guo Zhenyue divided his troops into 50,000 troops and rushed to the direction of Beiyang City.
Zhou Han was overjoyed: "Guo Thief fell into my trap!"
No longer hesitating now, he led his troops into the east valley.
Before leaving, he said to Huangfu Longting: "The survival of the camp is closely related. General Huangfu should know the importance."
Huangfu Longting calmly nodded: "If thieves come to attack, the general will try his best to defend."
"Well said!" Zhou Han laughed loudly, but his tone suddenly became sharp: "General, you should defend to the death. If you can't defend... you will die too!"
The mountain road is not very long, but it is rugged and difficult to navigate.
When the army marches, it must cover its tracks as much as possible to avoid being exposed.
On the second day after entering the mountain road, Huangfu Longting sent news to Zhou Han: Guo Zhenyue sent troops again and approached the camp, intending to test and attack.
"Great!" Zhou Han was even more delighted when he heard this: "Guo Zhenyue had a total of 100,000 troops, and 50,000 troops were divided into Beiyang City. Now that the troops have been divided again, how many people are left in the camp?"
"Even if there are only 20,000 to 30,000 remaining thieves left, we can attack and defeat the defense!"
As for Huangfu Longting, he was not worried at all.
Guo Zhenyue only has 50,000 people left. If too many people attack Huangfu Longting, the camp will become increasingly empty and can be destroyed with one blow.
If there were fewer troops, and Huangfu Longting was a veteran, and his men were elite soldiers of the imperial court, would it be difficult to block four or five times the number of bandits by relying on battalion defense?
No matter what, I can defeat the bandit camp before Huangfu Longting is destroyed!
This confidence comes from his tyrannical bravery in many years of fighting, as well as the fierce fighting skills of his Daxia warriors!
"Send my order and the whole army will speed up!"
"yes!"
night--
Finally, Zhou Han passed through the difficult mountain road.
"Your Highness!"
Tang Jiye, the frontline leader, ran over quickly.
The guards on the left and right held torches, reflecting the excitement on his face: "We have seen the enemy camp. The side near the mountain is empty, and there seems to be no one."
In the darkness, Zhou Han's eyes shone sharply: "Lead the way!"
"yes!"
The camp of the Hedong bandit army was built against the mountain. Near the exit of the mountain road, there were several tall wooden fences.
Inside the fence, by the scattered firelight, you can see the tents that have not been completely evacuated.
Click——
There was a startling sound in the darkness. It was the sound of the sergeant who had broken into the camp and opened the camp door.
"who!?"
The dormant whistle heard the movement and screamed in the dark.
Their sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and they quickly reached for the crossbows they carried with them.
Whoosh whoosh——
Several arrows had already flown randomly and enveloped them.
When picking up sentries in the army, the most capable will always be chosen first.
Those who are good at sneaking and assassinating will be responsible for dealing with open sentries; those who are good at listening and shooting blindly will be responsible for dealing with hidden sentries.
When the outposts were removed and the camp gate was opened, the cavalry waiting at the door rushed in at top speed!
"Enemy attack!!!"
There were shouts and shouts in the empty camp.
——This is the patrol patrol!
"Follow me to block the camp...withdraw!"
The leader of the sentry team drew his sword in his hand and was about to lead his men to charge, but the next moment he was shocked -
When the camp gate opened, densely packed enemies poured into his eyes.
In the darkness, it was like waves raised by the wind, rising and falling, coming with pressure!
There is no way they can stop such a large force of troops breaking out of the camp!
The sentry team of more than ten people turned around and ran wildly!
"Beep——"
"Dong dong——"
The leader of the team blew the iron whistle, and the rest took out their gongs and banged them desperately, shouting loudly: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"
"Don't stop!" Zhou Han personally put on his armor and wielded a sword, and rode towards the front surrounded by a group of guards: "Crash all the camps before the rebels react!"
The key to a night attack is suddenness, speed and violence!
If you go all out and rush to the end, the enemy will often be defeated before they can fully react!
The prince personally charged, and the other generals had no reason to retreat.
If the prince rushes to the front and is injured, will they still be alive when they return?
As a result, the armies surged!
Boom boom boom——
The sound of the fence camp gate collapsing kept resounding.
In an instant, Zhou Han had broken through five camp gates in a row.
Tap tap tap——
The horses are galloping.
The iron hoofs made a stirring sound.
Under the light of the torch, Zhou Han's eyes seemed to be ignited, burning fiercely.
He looked hotly ahead, looking at the Hedong Camp immersed in darkness, with a smile spreading from the corner of his mouth.
He has seen victory!
He believed that as long as he crushed the darkness in front of him, he would be one step closer to that throne!
Thinking of this, the prince, who was famous for his martial arts, felt his whole body getting hot.
"Whoever breaks the middle camp first will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins."
"Those who capture enemy chiefs will be given the title of Marquis!"
While the fighting spirit of the left and right was ignited, Zhou Han himself rushed faster and faster.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, Tang Jiye suddenly approached him and shouted: "Something's wrong!"
"Something's wrong?" When Zhou Han was about to refute him, his body was shocked: "Yes! Yes! Something's wrong!"
