Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1019

"Stealing the camp?" Lu Qianhu said in surprise: "Yesterday when our army was intact, the last general proposed to steal the camp, but the commander did not agree. Today our army is injured and tired, why do you think of stealing the camp again?"

"The enemy was on guard yesterday, and the chance of winning by stealing the camp was too low." Qi Xiang said solemnly: "Today's situation is very different. I think we can give it a try!"

"First of all, as you said, our army did not steal the camp yesterday when it was intact. Today, our army is injured and tired, and its strength is seriously insufficient. It is logical that we would not steal the camp. Now we are doing the opposite and can take the enemy by surprise." He explained road:

"Besides, you see that the enemy troops who crossed the river today did not withdraw to the other side, but camped on the spot." He pointed to the barbarian camp with torches not far away and said, "And the enemy troops on the other side of the river did not cross the river overnight. It means river.”

"Indeed." Lu Qianhu looked at the two enemy camps on both sides of the river, nodded and said, "They think our troops are too small and we are overconfident."

"They divided their troops and camped on both sides of the strait, which was a taboo among military strategists. Not only were they unable to rescue each other in case of trouble, but the enemy troops on the other side of the strait would inevitably become careless..." Qi Xiang continued.

"Yes." Lu Qianhu understood what he meant: "The enemy soldiers on the other side must think that even if we want to fight, we will fight here, so naturally they can sit back and relax."

"We have to sacrifice the near for the distant and give them a big surprise!" Qi Xiang said and sighed: "In the end, this is the only way we can hold on to the third day."

"Understood." Lu Qianhu nodded heavily and said, "Let the last general lead the team this time."

"No." Qi Xiang shook his head resolutely and said, "According to the rules, whoever comes up with the idea gets to do it."

Yu Min also heard that Commander Qi was going to personally lead the team to steal the camp, so he forced himself to get up and joined the farewell team.

Qi Xiang did not lead the crowd across the river immediately, but quietly led them around the barbarian camp and arrived several miles downstream.

Those who were sent off were all injured, and those who were intact were all sent to the battle...

When Qi Xiang saw Yu Min, he stopped and looked at his injuries. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Take good care of your injuries and become my personal soldier later."

"I know." Lu Qianhu nodded and suddenly smiled: "I made it very clear when I was choosing the vanguard. In this battle, there will be no return."

Then he was the first to enter the water and led the soldiers to wade across the river.

"Then let's meet again at Quanxia." Qi Xiang hugged Lu Qianhu, then turned around to assemble the team.

Yu Min nodded heavily and wanted to say that Qianhu would take care of himself, but his throat was choked and he couldn't say a word. He could only silently watch Qi Xiang lead two thousand warriors and disappear into the vast night.

From that moment on, the plan was brewing in his mind.

So as soon as he arrived at Dabanqiao, he carefully surveyed the topography of this area and found that the river downstream became shallower, and the deepest part only reached his chest, so he could wade across it directly.

~~

Soon, the two thousand warriors were assembled.

Qi Xiang briefly arranged the task and took them quietly out of the military camp in the night.

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Qianhu apologetically and said, "In fact, it's just as dangerous to stay..."

Although Qi Xiang is not a famous general, he has received the teachings of famous generals and knows that a general must be diligent in observation and have a clear understanding of the situation between the enemy and ourselves, the battlefield environment, and the climate and temperature. This is the so-called 'Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles'.

~~

The two thousand warriors successfully waded across the Baoxiang River and returned to the east of the enemy camp under the leadership of Qi Xiang.

The barbarian soldiers in the camp never dreamed that someone would launch a sneak attack from their side. Their patrols were all patrolling by the river. The barbarian soldiers in the left camp completely lost their vigilance. The soldiers of the Ming Army quietly entered the camp and started chopping melons and vegetables. Only then did they wake up from their sleep and start shouting!

When Qi Xiang saw this, he no longer remained silent. He raised his iron whip high and roared at the soldiers behind him: "If you advance or retreat, kill me!" The soldiers followed closely behind Qi Xiang, howling. , Killing people on sight, lighting tents on sight, like a crazy evil dragon, turning the left camp of the barbarian soldiers upside down!

The left camp of the barbarian soldiers was completely in chaos. The awakened soldiers climbed out of the tent and looked at the panic scene of the barbarian soldiers holding their heads and running away in front of them. They were all frightened and fled in all directions. The barbarian soldiers in the left camp fled in the blink of an eye. Bare.

After killing the left camp of the barbarians, Qi Xiang continued his efforts and led the soldiers directly to the central camp of the barbarians.

The barbarian leader Yang Ju, who was in the main camp of the Chinese army, had two skills. He had already ordered his black barbarian army to assemble and prepare for the attack.

However, the soldiers of the Ming army who looked like crazy tigers arrived too quickly. Before the Black Yi army had finished gathering, Qi Xiang led them to kill them!

"Kill!" At this time, Qi Xiang's legs and feet seemed to be restored to their original state, and he was seen striding into the Black Barbarian Army formation. The iron whip in his hand was like a tiger's wind, and those who touched it would have their muscles broken, their bones broken, and their brains burst! In the blink of an eye, a hole was torn open in the enemy formation!

The soldiers behind him followed closely, wielding their swords and guns, and started a fierce fight with the Black Yi army!

At this time, if the barbarian soldiers from other tribes can take the opportunity to stabilize their position, come to support, and block this mere two thousand Ming army, it should be no problem.

However, the origins of their forty-eight coalition forces are too mixed. There are black barbarians, white barbarians, Miao people, Dai people... and their attires are all different. It's okay during the day, but how can you tell who is who in the dark?

So there was chaos in the camp, and the barbarian soldiers from various tribes were running around. They couldn't tell whether they were enemies or friends, so they could only run together. When the chaos in the camp reaches a certain level, it becomes a terrifying camp bombing!

At this time, the soldiers were completely confused and did not listen to orders at all. In order to protect themselves, they would swing their knives to attack any friendly troops who dared to get close to them, which in turn triggered a counterattack by the friendly troops, so they just started killing each other. No one will support the Black Yi Army at all.

In fact, the Black Yi Army still far outnumbered the Ming Army. However, the combat effectiveness and morale of the two sides were so different that they were still killed by the Ming Army soldiers.

Seeing that the Ming army turned around and came back to fight, the Black Yi army, which had completely lost their fighting spirit, dropped their weapons and ran away with their heads in their hands.

When Yang Ju saw this, he could only sigh and run away together.

When Dinghaishenzhen all began to flee, the barbarian army's central camp was completely routed.

Although the barbarians in the right camp were not attacked, they were frightened and ran away when they saw the left camp and the central camp fleeing one after another.

As a result, the 40,000 barbarian soldiers who had not yet crossed the river were broken into two camps by two thousand Ming troops, and the whole army fled in fright.

Of course, the Ming army also paid a heavy price. Of the two thousand warriors, less than a thousand were left, and all of them were injured. Qi Xiang, who had always taken the lead, was wounded several times and blood was flowing out. The army doctors could not stop the bleeding...

"Command! Command!" The soldiers gathered around him and burst into tears looking at Qi Xiang who was covered in blood.

"Don't cry. We have completed the mission..." Qi Xiang said with a satisfied smile.

Because of the rout of the barbarian soldiers, they didn't have a day to reorganize themselves. By the time they regrouped and returned to Dabanqiao, three days had already passed...

"Tell Marquis Xiping and Governor Guo that I have neither embarrassed them nor the emperor..." After Qi Xiang finished speaking, he issued the final order:

"You still have a battle to fight, so retreat to the other side."

After speaking, he passed away suddenly.
