It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 151 It's Burning, It's Burning

The Han army and the Donghu army confronted each other for ten days.

It is said to be a confrontation, but in fact, no one can see who is clear through the earthen wall, and there is no fight. It is purely a picnic for military expenses.

Liu Ke, who was already on the defensive, could sit still, but Qi Yan Daxian couldn't sit still.

He summoned his son Qiyan Xiaoxian.

Although Qi Yan Xiaoxian failed to inherit his father's martial arts, he was quite wise.

"What did father call me for?"

"You kid has a lot of tricks, let's talk about it, the Han army joined forces to attack, and they are so aggressive, why are they now turning from offense to defense?"

"What kind of conspiracy is there?"

Qi Yan Daxian took a sip of the tiger bone wine, although he was unwilling, he had to admit that Liu Zhi'er was always good at playing tricks, so he had to be more careful.

Begging Yan Xiaoxian said proudly without hesitation:

"There is a saying among the Han people that when things go wrong, there must be monsters. In my opinion, the Han army is mostly bluffing."

"bluff?"

Begging Yan Daxian made a puzzled look and asked:
"What's the calculation behind it?"

Begging Yan Xiaoxian paused, then said slowly:
"After the Han army set up camp, they did not attack, but confronted our army."

"It is enough to show that the Han army is not sure of taking down our army."

"Father built an earthen wall in advance and used it as a barrier, making it even more difficult for the Han army to deploy."

"In this way, it is normal to switch from offense to defense."

"After all, the great Khan is not in good health. As long as Xuwen County can be defended, it will be beneficial to the Han army if it continues like this."

boom--

Begging Yan Daxian kicked over the table, stood up, shook his head again and again, disappointed with his son:
"I thought you had something to say."

He is also over 50, and even if he can live for more than ten or twenty years, his energy is not enough.

For the rest, I have to let my son fight for it.

But this son is not very up-to-date.

Although he has some clever tricks, he has no experience in the army and cannot understand battle formations.

Moreover, he is more impatient and doesn't think deeply about things.

If it wasn't for the Great Khan mobilizing the entire Begging Yan Department this time, Qi Yan Xiaoxian would still be playing somewhere!
If this goes on, the days to come will not be easy.

Donghu people see the filth of Donghu Babu better than anyone else.

After all, the death of the Great Khan was a matter of time.

Even if the great Han is pacified, the eight nobles will inevitably fight among themselves after the death of the Great Khan.

At that time, it will be almost impossible to fight for power and profit in the chaotic situation by begging Yan Xiaoxiao to show off this kid's ability.

If you get dizzy for a while, and get impatient again, you will be on the wrong team, and it will be difficult to save your life.

"It seems that we still need to earn more military merits in this battle and strive to protect ourselves."

Begging Yan Daxian thought, and at the same time ordered:

"Then Liu Zhi'er is only twenty years old, and he dares to explore the camp alone. I have been famous for a long time, and I have killed countless generals. How can I be weaker than him?"

"You have gathered 800 people, and I will go to the camp of the Han army with me to explore."

"Whether it's true or not, and what intentions you have, you can find out at once."

"Yes"

Begging Yan Xiaoxian went down reluctantly.

You said that you are an old man, you already have cares in your heart, why do you ask me?
Isn't this embarrassing to me?

Not long after, Qiyan Daxian took his son and [-] Donghu soldiers to the slope behind the Han army camp.

In the camp, the flags and flags were unfurled, and the crowds were crowded.

Begging Yan Daxian narrowed his eyes and asked his son:

"What time is it now?"

Qiyan Xiaoxian glanced at the sky and said:
"Shen Shi."

"It's time for lunch."

Qi Yan Daxian looked at the Han army camp quietly:

"It's meal time, but there is no cooking smoke in the camp."

"At first glance, the banners are flying, but in fact the route of travel is disorderly and extremely scattered. It doesn't look like soldiers on patrol."

"Then Liu Zhi'er used troops with a lot of maneuvers, so he must have deceived me with tricks."

Begging Yan Xiaoxian was in a state of surprise, anxiously said:
"Is it an empty camp?"

"I heard that Qiyan Jinhan has made a lot of gains under the city of Kanghai County, and he will break through the city soon."

"Could it be that Liu Zhi'er used a trick to stabilize our army with an empty battalion, and now he has led the army to leave to support Kanghai County?"

Qi Yan Daxian also had this idea.

I have to say that Liu Zhi'er is really scheming.

First, he was coerced by the army, forcing him to build an earthen wall to resist.

Then they took advantage of the Donghu camp, which was covered by earthen walls, which was inconvenient for eyes and ears, so they set up a camp in vain.

Use an empty battalion to stabilize the Donghu soldiers and horses attacking Xuwen County, so that he dare not move easily, and then march into Kanghai County.

In this way, one army can be used to restrain two troops.

Even if the progress is smooth, with a time difference, they can occupy an absolute advantage in strength locally.

The more Qi Yan Xiaoxian thought about it, the more anxious he became, he clamped the horse's belly violently, and said nervously:
"Qiyan Jinhan's soldiers and horses are not comparable to the Han army, and he has gained quite a lot. He must be negligent at this time."

After speaking, he clenched his fists and realized that something was wrong:
"If you are attacked from behind by the Han army, you will definitely be defeated!"

"Father still needs to quickly send scouts to deliver a letter to Qiyan Jinhan!"

Qi Yan Daxian was also upset for a while, he knew that time was running out, and if he continued to delay, the risk of war would become higher and higher.

But there is no rush at this time.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then stared at the others.

If the Han army really used tricks and then turned into Kanghai County, then the road would inevitably be blocked to prevent him from sending a letter to Qiyan Jinhan after seeing through the empty camp.

Therefore, it is useless to be anxious.

"Just wait here."

Begging Yan Daxian decided to confirm the reality of the Han army first.

Shen Shi is certainly a meal point, but what if the Han army doesn't like to eat at this point?

Begging Yan Xiaoxian persuaded:

"Father, the camp of the Han army is too close here. It's fine if it's really an empty camp, but if there's an ambush."

Qi Yan Daxian waved his sword and said resolutely:
"I don't know how many Han troops I have killed, and I haven't degenerated to the point where no one sees them, and I'm about to run away."

"So what if there is an ambush?"

"Then Liu Zhi'er dared to come in an ambush to visit our army camp, would I be worse than him?!"

Begging Yan Daxian's horse with a golden knife is stationed on the slope.

The master general is like this, and the soldiers don't want to persuade them much, they can only follow and watch the Han army camp in a daze.

until night.

“Mostly empty camp”

Begging Yan Xiaoxian was a bit tired of waiting:
"Father, it seems that this must be Liu Zhier's deceit, no doubt about it."

"It's better to send messengers quickly, or directly lead the army to catch up, and attack Qiyan Jinhan back and forth, and directly defeat the Han army."

Begging Yan Daxian rode his horse for a few steps, waved his hand, and ignored his son:

"Soldiers, follow me to camp!!"

He took the lead and rushed to the Han army camp.

The Donghu soldiers had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward.

However, the journey was unexpectedly smooth.

Even a group of people, under the leadership of Qi Yan Daxian, easily entered the camp of the Han army.

Even though there are some horses and pits arranged, there is not a single Han soldier guarding them.

"It's really an empty camp?!"

I saw that in the big camp of the Han army, there were all donkeys, and there was no one.

A dummy rides on a donkey, and a flag is planted on the dummy.

As the donkey walks back and forth, it creates the illusion of people coming and going and banners flying.

"Hitting east and hitting west must be a plan to hit east and west!!"

Begging Yan Xiaoxian raised his eyes to look to the north, and shouted anxiously:

"The Han army must have supported Kanghai County, as I speculated, and went to attack Qiyan Jinhan's troops!!"

After Qi Yan Daxian confirmed that it was an empty battalion, he became calmer, stretched out his hand to press down, and asked:

"After the Han army set up camp, did you contact the guard in Xuwen City?"

Qiyan Xiaoxian was startled, and became more anxious:

"I haven't contacted the Xuwen County garrison!"

"This is enough to show that Xuwen County is not the main place where the Han army is stationed, it's just a cover for attack!"

"At this time, the Han army must be on the way to Kanghai County!"

Only then did Qi Yan Daxian nod his head slowly, agreeing with his son's statement.

Although he was always uneasy.

But after thinking about it, this abnormal behavior of the Han army is not only about playing tricks, but also making a lot of noise.

I can't find a more reasonable explanation.

And it works.

If the Han army hadn't deliberately come to set up an empty camp near Xuwen, he would have led an army to forcibly break through Xuwen County by now.

"Good trick."

Qi Yan Xiaoxian didn't know, but the father was still feeling something at this time, and urged:
"Father, order the troops to enter!"

Qi Yan Daxian was a little hesitant, and didn't know if the Han army would be able to catch up after walking for a few days.

Suddenly seeing the Han army flag on the dummy, he made up his mind:
"No, King Khan gave me an order to attack Xuwen County."

"Since we already know that the Han army is leaving, isn't now the best opportunity to attack the city?!"

"Quickly let the soldiers bring their weapons and supplies, and all of them will be transferred to the Han army camp."

Qi Yan Xiaoxian was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized:

"Father is trying to pretend to be a Han army?"

This is a good way.

Donghu Daying is closer to the city of Xuwen County.

Although it was covered by earthen walls, as the main target of the Donghu army along the way, they never relaxed their monitoring of Xuwen County.

It is certain that the Han army has not contacted the defenders of Xuwen County.

Even if the messengers were sent into the city in a hanging basket at night, they would definitely be discovered by the eagle shooters specially arranged by Qi Yan Daxian.

After all, it is also very important to cut off the connection between the defenders and the reinforcements.

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Ke found that there were no guard posts in Donghu camp when he visited the camp before.

Begging Yan Daxian set up sentry posts around the city of Xuwen County.

As for the guard of Xuwen County, from the perspective of the city, at best, he could only see the support of the Han army coming.

It is not known what the Han army will do next.

The Han army left an empty camp, which deceived the Donghu people and their own people in Xuwen County.

"Just plan, father is indeed a veteran in the battlefield!"

Qi Yan Xiaoxian couldn't help admiring.

My own ingenuity is useless in front of my father.

It is difficult for the Han army to pretend to be Donghu people, but there are many Han people among the Donghu soldiers.

It is much easier for these Han people who joined the army to pretend to be soldiers of the Han army.

Faced with his son's praise, Qiyan Daxian remained silent, but in fact he also had some selfish intentions.

Is it because you are useless? !

Qiyan Jinhan has gained a lot in Kanghai County, but he was scared by an empty camp on his side and dared not enter the siege of the city. If the news spread, how would everyone in the clan think of him?

The Han army will go to support Kanghai County. Anyway, he wants to attack Xuwen County and make military exploits, which can also give his son a share.

With the protection of military achievements, no matter how bad it is, he can keep safe in the future internal struggles of the eight parts.

Soon, the Donghu soldiers turned into small units and entered the Han army camp in batches.

This is also to avoid being discovered by the Xuwen County defenders.

The entire Han army camp was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

It has to be said that the Donghu soldiers who captured Gaozhou this time were all warriors.

Except for the fact that the big man has too much food in recent years and has neglected to fight, almost all of them are well-trained soldiers.

Everyone walked slowly and silently, meticulously sorting out the supplies.

Qi Yan Daxian was at the main gate of the camp, holding a big knife and carrying a longbow.

Behind him are eight thousand elite soldiers.

"You attack Xuwen County together with this general, regardless of casualties, you must kill the defenders of Xuwen County to be terrified!"

"Let them take the risk of sending people out of the city for help!"

Qi Yan Daxian's calculation was well done.

Not only did Jiu occupy the magpie's nest, but after the Han army left, he occupied the Han army's camp and pretended to be a Han army general.

It is also necessary to send another army to attack the city, forcing the defenders of Xuwen County to ask for help.

It is equivalent to Monkey King changing into the appearance of the Bull Demon King, and forcing Princess Iron Fan to call her husband.

And once the Xuwen County defenders ventured to the Han army barracks to ask for help, they completely fell into the plan of begging Yan Daxian.

At this time, even if the acting skills of the soldiers were a little bit poor, and the chicken feet were exposed, the Xuwen County defenders would subconsciously ignore it when the military situation was urgent, so it was difficult to find the abnormality.

When the Eastern Hu soldiers pretending to be the Han army entered the city, Xuwen County was at your fingertips.

Just before departure.

Suddenly a fire broke out, and thick smoke rose in the camp.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!!"

The fire spread rapidly, and the wooden barracks in the camp and the surrounding military tents were engulfed one after another.

For a time, the flames burst into the sky.

The Donghu soldiers in panic ran around, all shouting loudly.

"Fight the fire! Quickly put out the fire!"

The soldiers hurriedly took water from various places, doused the fire, and dug soil to cover it.

One after another desperately rescued important supplies, and kept pulling flammable items out of the barracks.

Qiyan Daxian, who was about to attack Xuwen County, had to turn back and hurriedly sent the soldiers back to camp to help put out the fire.

After burning for a while, although the fire was extinguished, because the camp had just been moved, many supplies had not been sorted out in time.

Under the chaos of the fire, a lot was lost.

Qi Yan Daxian frowned, with a bit of anger in his eyes, he called the general:

"what happened?"

"Daying is so lively, why did it suddenly go out of water?"

He has quite a lot of side generals, and they are all consumables anyway.

That general had just come down from the fire, his face was dark, he didn't care to wipe it off, he was out of breath and said:

"There are too many materials and too many miscellaneous materials. On the way, the soldiers carried oil lamps and..."

"And what?"

"It was put together with the straw man, and then it was burned"

This grass man, which is wormwood and green cloth, is simply an excellent combustible material.

"Who asked you to move the grass man? What's the use of that thing?!"

"The straw man was pierced by the general himself, and so were the soldiers."

Qi Yan showed his anger and didn't hit a single point, pointing at the general and said sharply:
"So, do you blame this general?!"

That will hurry to bow down:
"The last general dare not!!"

Begging Yan Daxian snorted coldly:
"Have you found the soldier who got into the water due to his negligence?"

"found it."

"Kill it, sacrifice the flag, and use the head to warn the soldiers."

"Today it was negligence, which caused the camp to be flooded, and tomorrow it was negligence, which caused the loss of our heads on the battlefield!"

"Instead of letting the Han army chop off their heads, why don't we do it ourselves!"

Qi Yan showed a murderous look on his face, and he was not half-hearted and soft-hearted.

He has been in the army for decades, and it is not that he has never been burned by the enemy, but it is the first time that his own soldiers made a mistake and caused the camp to be burned.

Sure enough, after 20 years of successive battles and victories, the soldiers are lazy.

Qi Yan Daxian paused suddenly, and thought of something:
"and many more."

"What orders does the general have?"

"Hang your head under the banner of the Han army."

".Yes."

He didn't know what to do, and felt a little cruel, but he did it anyway.

Qi Yan Daxian also calmed down at this time.

It is better to expose the problems of the soldiers at this time than to have problems on the battlefield.

It just so happens that those few heads can also win the trust of the Xuwen County defenders who are asking for help.

But after such a fire, Qi Yan Daxian was not in a hurry to attack the city tonight, and let the soldiers rest for the night first.

into the night.

Insects chirping.

Qi Yan Daxian was asleep in the big tent of the Chinese army.

When confronting the Han army before, he always dozed off at night and didn't dare to sleep too deeply. Now he can finally have a good night's rest.

But in a trance, he felt a bit hot in the tent.

"Did you drink too much tiger bone wine?"

Begging Yan Daxian turned over in a daze, and turned to sleep on his stomach, wanting to hold back.

But when he realized that the surrounding area was getting hotter and hotter, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, he was horrified to find that there was a fire outside the big tent.

"???"

He jumped up quickly, not even having time to put it on, and immediately notified the soldiers.

At that time, there was a sound of drums and gongs in the camp, and all the soldiers woke up from their sleep.

They also had a good night's sleep because of the departure of the Han army.

So at the beginning, many people didn't believe it.

There is no enemy army attacking the camp. It was just burned a few hours ago, so why did it start burning again? ?
It wasn't until they smelled smoke and saw fire that they realized the severity.

In anxiety and yelling at each other, the camp was in a mess.

The soldiers who ran out of the tent in a panic began to fetch water in various ways, trying to save the camp.

Begging Yan Daxian also participated in the fire fighting.

After a while of busy work, the fire went out again.

Unlike during the day, the fire was not discovered immediately at night, and a lot of luggage was lost.

The breeze blew, bringing a burning smell.

Outrageous on Nima.

Begging Yan Daxian didn't know what mentality he should use to face it.

"What happened this time?"

"It's me."

With disheveled braids and disheveled clothes, Qiyan Xiaoxian lowered his head and admitted his mistake:
"When I wake up at night, I'm not careful."

Begging Yan Daxian went up and slapped his son:

"Shut up, lead thirty military battles yourself, don't let me see you until you recover from your injuries."

There were two fires in a row, and Qi Yan Daxian didn't dare to be careless, so he deliberately waited for a few more days.

Three days later, seeing that nothing had gone wrong in the past few days, he felt relieved and decided to attack the city that night.

"It's out of water!!"

"."

Just half an hour before the expedition at night, the camp caught fire.

And this time the situation was quite serious. It happened that the camp where the grain and fodder were stored caught fire.

Most of the food and fodder was lost.

Begging Yan Xiaoxian, who was unable to move because of a military injury, was also burned.

"It's strange. Could it be that the big man is blessed by God?"

Begging Yan Daxian's mentality is a little bit broken.

The three accidental accidents not only delayed the fighter plane, but also directly burned the food and fodder.

"The food and fodder can only supply the needs of two days, and the subsequent supply of food and fodder will take some time."

"And the Han army going to Kanghai County, in the north of our army, will inevitably obstruct more, so that our army's food and supplies can be easily transported to Xuwen."

After much deliberation, Qi Yan Daxian felt that it was no longer suitable to storm Xuwen County at this time, and even this weird Han army camp was not suitable to stay anymore.

He is also worthy of the name of a general, and he made a decisive decision:
"Take a rest overnight, and march into Kanghai County tomorrow to support Qiyan Jinhan's troops."

This is also a helpless move. It is not easy to attack Xuwen County now, so it is better to go north to Kanghai County.

It can not only break the siege for Qiyan Jinhan, but also quickly break through Kanghai County after the two soldiers and horses are united in one place.

You can also eat some food and grass from begging Yan Jinhan.

Anyway, after breaking through the food store in Kanghai County, you don't have to care about the issue of food and grass.

Qi Yan Daxian sighed:

"I'm afraid that this battle in Gaozhou will go to Qiyan Jinhan for the first time."

I was a little bit reconciled in my heart, but there was nothing I could do.

After all, these three unexpected fires really made him miss the Great Khan's military orders.

"However, being able to win Kanghai County as soon as possible and destroy Liu Zhi'er is considered a great achievement."
