Feng Chong and the others arrived in Buwei this morning. This hidden valley was only a few miles away from the city of Buwei. Once out of this valley, they could reach the rebel flank from the north.
Yong Kai's main force was gathered outside the east city. They didn't know that government reinforcements were already lurking nearby, so Feng Chongcai decided to attack the camp at night to catch the rebels off guard.
It was midnight, the clouds were light and the wind was light, the stars were shining and the moon was bright. Yongchang's rebels had fallen asleep except for their posts. They had been besieging Buwei for several months. Although they could not attack Yongchang for a long time, Yongchang had been isolated for a long time and there had never been any official government. The reinforcements have arrived, so the rebels are no longer vigilant.
At this time, people were trapped again, and most of the sentries on duty were yawning nonstop, and even the Han army slowly approaching not far away did not notice it.
Feng Chong was overjoyed when he saw that he was only about a mile away from the rebel camp and had not yet been discovered. With this distance, there was no need to hide his whereabouts. He drew his sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "All the troops obey the order and follow... kill!"
A group of cavalrymen began to urge their mounts and increase the speed of their horses. The movement of more than a thousand horses naturally awakened the rebels at the camp gate.
But before they could react, the Han army had already attacked the outside of the camp. The cavalry in the front row threw their iron claws to hook the wall, and then pulled their horses out, causing a large section of the wall to fall down.
Upon seeing this, Feng Chong did not hesitate and led the sergeants to rush in through the gap. They set fire and shot arrows at the same time.
The rebels reacted at this moment and knew that an enemy had entered the camp. However, they did not know how many enemy troops there were in the dark night. However, they heard the formation of horse hooves and the sound of killing, and they all knew that a large group of Han troops were attacking.
The rebels were unable to react in time and had to flee in panic. In the Chinese army's tent, Yong Kai was carried away to the rear camp wearing only his inner clothes by his guards. He was sleeping soundly, but he was suddenly awakened and didn't know what had happened. Only after he was taken out of the camp did he learn that the Han army was attacking the camp.
"If Wei doesn't have enough troops in the city, how can he dare to go out to attack the camp?" Yong Kai was shocked and confused.
Just as Yong Kai was urging the sergeants of the rear camp to quickly form the formation, he suddenly heard a sergeant in Buwei City shouting: "Reinforcements are here, reinforcements are here, kill."
"What, the reinforcements from the government army have arrived?" Yong Kai suddenly realized, and then he understood the reason.
Seeing that there seemed to be a large number of Han cavalry in the front village rushing towards the rear village, Yong Kai was shocked and said in his heart: "Where did the official reinforcements come from? There are so many cavalry. Could it be that the enemy's army is no less than ten thousand?"
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, thinking that a large group of officers and soldiers were coming to kill him, and seeing that his soldiers could not form a formation for a long time, he sighed secretly and continued to lead his guards to the depths of the back village.
On the second day, the rebel camp outside Buwei City was ablaze with smoke and fire. Most of the entire camp had been burned down. The camp was filled with corpses of rebels, and broken arms and legs could be seen everywhere.
A group of Han troops were cleaning the battlefield. Although they had been fighting for half the night, they still had relaxed smiles on their faces at this moment. After all, they had been besieged by the rebels for several months. Now that they could kill the enemy, it really made Buwei's soldiers and civilians proud. One breath.
Last night, more than 2,000 rebels were killed in the battle alone, and the number of injured rebels was estimated to be thousands. It can be said that Yong Kai was already injured.
If it weren't for the fact that the rebels had too many troops and it was night, the results would have been greater. However, Feng Chong and the others were very satisfied with the success of the attack on the camp.
"Report, Yong Kai has retreated to the east of the city thirty miles away, and is gathering his defeated troops at the moment." In the lobby of the county governor's mansion, a scout was bowing to report.
Lu Kai nodded, waved his hand to tell the scouts to retreat, turned around and said with a smile: "You two, what do you think?"
The Prince of Fu Cheng and his wife glanced at Feng Chong, who was sitting across from him, and said with a smile: "Feng Sima is good at military affairs. Let's listen to Mr. Feng's opinion later, right?"
Feng Chong raised his hands and said humbly: "I don't dare to be praised by the prince. I just accumulated some experience in the army for a long time." Chong thought that Yong Kai was observing the situation. Last night was chaos. He didn't know how many reinforcements had arrived. Now, It’s a little difficult to make a decision.”
"Gu Chong believes that the top priority is to build up momentum to make the rebels think that the main force of our Yuexun County troops has arrived for reinforcements. This will definitely frighten the enemy."
Lu Kai slapped the case and stood up, and immediately shouted: "Okay, just do as Feng Sima said. Yuexun Yangfu annihilated Gaoding, and his reputation spread far and wide. The people of the Han family all admire him when he mentions it, and the younger generation are all afraid. As long as the news spreads that Lord Yang Mansion is coming to help, Yong Kai's thieves will definitely be angered by it."
Feng Chong nodded, secretly thinking that this Lu Gongcao was really powerful. He just mentioned it in the beginning, and this person had already thought of using the name of Fujun. No wonder this person could lead the soldiers and civilians in the city to hold on for so long. Even Fujun was there. The letter said that this person was very admired, and he also told him to treat others with courtesy when he came to Yongchang and not to be arrogant based on his merits.
"By the way, Feng Sima, Kai has another unkind request."
Feng Chong said: "You can just say what you say, and you should work hard for it."
Lu Kai said: "I thought that if it was just a bluff, Yong Kai would inevitably see the flaw, so Kai wanted to ask Feng Sima to lead his men out of the city to harass the rebels. In this way, Yong Kai, the thief, would definitely believe that I don't have Wei." Reinforcements are arriving in large numbers.”
Feng Chong pondered for a moment and said: "The meritorious Cao has too much foresight to catch up. This matter is easy. When it comes to harassment, this is my department's special skill. This time, let Yong Kai have a taste of our department's methods."
"Well, Feng Sima is worthy of being a famous general under Yang Fujun. He is really courageous." Wang and his wife praised at the side.
"Your Majesty, I have given you such a good reputation, so I will go and make preparations first."
"Very good, I'll go with Sima." Lu Kai felt that people came from afar to help in the battle, so he had to go more to express condolences and not to chill the hearts of the reinforcements.
In the temporary rebel camp thirty miles east of Buwei City, Yong Kai was walking around in the tent, obviously upset.
He still hasn't recovered from the battle last night. It turned out to be officers and soldiers from Yuexun County. Didn't these people just finish the battle? How can they still have the energy to take care of Yongchang County's affairs?
He was shocked and frightened by the defeat of Gaoding. He did not expect that the man named Yang sent by Zhuge Liang was such a powerful figure. With the power of a county and thousands of soldiers, he could defeat tens of thousands of Gaoding. , it is really frightening to lose a big helping hand of one's own side.
However, Yong Kai was shocked, but he felt that the Yuexun War had just ended and it was thousands of miles away from here. I am afraid that Yang Qing would not be able to care about the war here for a while. After all, he was not the governor of Yongchang, so he could not do this. Take heart.
Therefore, Yong Kai really thought deeply about not sending reinforcements to Yuexunhui. Unexpectedly, he was careless and was taken advantage of by the army. Last night's battle resulted in thousands of casualties and heavy losses of vitality, which really made him feel distressed.
After escaping and gathering his troops, he quickly led his troops to retreat thirty miles away. This distance was not too far or too close, which was suitable for waiting and observing the situation.
Although some people in the army had suggested withdrawing the troops, he was unwilling to withdraw after leading his troops to besiege Buwei for so long, so he decided to find out more about the situation.
"Brother, please stop walking around. It makes me dizzy. In my brother's opinion, we should withdraw our troops and return to Yizhou first. After all, it is best to preserve our strength." Yong Jieman was sitting on the right side of the tent. He said anxiously.
He was the third younger brother of Yong Kai, and he was used to being pampered. He had long wanted to retreat when he couldn't attack Wei for a long time. Now that he saw reinforcements coming from the government and his own side was defeated, he went back earlier to relax.
Yong Kai glared at him and shouted: "What do you know? Just stay in peace and care about your brother freely."
He still doesn't know the character of his younger brother. He talks about preserving his strength because he can't bear the hardships and wants to go back to enjoy himself.
"Oh, big brother, little brother..."
Yongjie was about to persuade him again, but suddenly a sergeant broke in outside the tent and interrupted his words.
"Reporting to the prefect, we have found out the situation in the city."
Yong Kai now considers himself the prefect of Yongchang, so the generals in the army call him the prefect. He returned to the main seat and sat down, saying: "Report."
"Now there are constant cheers in Buwei City, and the general flags of Yuexun County are all over the city. There are rumors in the city that thousands of Yuexun reinforcements arrived last night, and even the Yuexun Prefect will lead the main force here soon."
"What, Yang Qing's son will also come here?" Yong Jie jumped up and shouted.
The spy nodded: "This is the rumor in the city."
"Brother, this is not good. Not to mention that there are thousands of reinforcements in the city, it is difficult for our army to break the city. Let's just say that the evil star Yang Qing is coming here. I am afraid our army is no match for this man!"
"Why, are you scared when Yang Qing comes here?" Yong Kai said angrily.
Yongjie smiled coquettishly and said: "Brother, I'm not afraid. It's just that our army has been exhausted after fighting for many days and its combat power has been greatly reduced. It is better to return to Yizhou to recharge and then fight the decisive battle with the army."
This is quite reasonable. Yong Kai nodded slightly, but he still had doubts about the detective report. Is Yang Qing true or false? Do you want to wait and see?
Just as he was hesitating, another sergeant broke into the tent.
"Report, there are officers and soldiers calling for formation outside the stronghold."
Yong Kai was startled, stood up and asked, "How many people are there?"
"More than a thousand cavalrymen are surrounding the camp and firing arrows."
These cavalry must be the ones from last night. I didn’t expect them to attack the camp again today with such confidence. Could it be that a large number of reinforcements are really coming?
Yong Kai's face kept changing, and he was confused and confused. How should he decide whether to retreat or fight?
"Brother, please withdraw. The camp here is simple. If the officers and soldiers rush in, our army may not be able to resist it?" Yongjie pulled Yong Kai's sleeves and persuaded.
After hearing this, Yong Kai remembered the situation of being chased by the army's cavalry last night, and also thought that a large number of army reinforcements had arrived, and Buwei City might not be able to be defeated. Since there is no benefit in staying here, why not... ..
"That's it, let's send the order to withdraw the troops." Yong Kai gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, waved his hand weakly and sighed.
