My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 68 View of Liao
Spots of bonfires lit up the night, and in the distance there was the sound of patrolling horse hooves running around the military camp.

The camp was filled with blood, and wailing soldiers could be seen everywhere in the wounded barracks. More than a dozen doctors accompanying the army were running back and forth.

In the main camp of the Chinese army, the soldiers surrounding the fire lowered their heads and said nothing while looking at the flames. Others were hiding in the tent, polishing the blades of their swords with stones. Occasionally they heard the slightest movement, and nervously held their swords against the tent entrance.

What was heard were vague words coming from the handsome tent.

"Why did the great wise master arrive so late..."

The large tent erected in a square shape was brightly lit, and the figures sitting in the tent were reflected on the tent one after another. Su Chen, who was wiping the blood on the nails, glanced at Zhang Jiao, who was sitting first on the right.

The latter smiled and said: "...On the way here, I recruited some believers."

Seeing the changes in the faces of the generals in the tent, such as Dong Zhuo and Dian Wei, Zhang Jiao's smile became even stronger. He waved his hand and said, "It's a joke, General, don't take it seriously. This is the point where Guo Jijiu asked Pindao to come here." .”

Ok?
The generals in the tent turned their heads to look at Guo Jia, who was quietly pouring wine at the side of the long desk. The latter suddenly froze when he picked up the wine, and coughed dryly:
"A great general of a dynasty has been in the military for many years and is very cautious in doing things. If he does not have surprise troops, he will not feel at ease. As expected by Jia, when the great virtuous master arrived at the battlefield with his troops, he withdrew his troops, probably because he was worried about the surprise troops. The formation is unstable and affects morale.”

"Sacrifice wine, how can we defeat the opponent? When Rongzhou's soldiers and horses arrive, they have 12, and Yunqi is the back-up, with a supply of food and fodder!" Zhang You felt somewhat unsure, and Xu Qinghu, who was next to him, was also worried. They nodded, they had never seen such a big battle before.

"Shut up!" Dong Zhuo suddenly shouted loudly. After returning to the camp, he went straight into the tent without taking off his armor and cleaning it. There was still someone's fleshy foam on his body. "How can I frighten you with just such a small battle? Why are you so long-winded?" I will chop you all in one blow."

boom!
On the long desk, Su Chen slapped it with his palm, "Listen to Guo Jijiu and continue talking!".

Here, Dong Zhuo glared at the two people, snorted and sat down again. Zhang You and Xu Qinghu did not dare to say anything, and lowered their heads after sitting down.

Guo Jia put down the pottery bowl, as if he was extremely satisfied. He cleared his throat and continued:
"This man is cautious, has strong troops, and is a good general. However, the commander of an army is too cautious, and all the grass and trees are scattered. He is worried whether we have any surprise troops or ambushes."

"Lu Bu and Wen Yuan? The other side should have known about it for a long time, right?" Le Jin, who seldom spoke, pulled out the broken arrow stuck on his shoulder armor, "Will their surprise attack be effective?"

"Based on the character of the opponent's coach, he must know that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao have not yet appeared." He glanced at everyone with a smile in his eyes: "What Dan Jia wants is for him to know his name but not his whereabouts. After the great virtuous teacher If a surprise attack comes suddenly, he will be full of suspicion, and he will look forward and backward when arranging his troops. It is estimated that he will be unable to sleep at night."

"Then let the person named He sleepless at night."

Su Chen calmed down the atmosphere in the military tent, and then asked about the casualties in the army. When he learned that there were nearly [-] casualties, his mood suddenly sank. At the beginning, his father had less than [-] soldiers and horses, but he felt that the number was huge. This battle Unexpectedly, there were more than [-] casualties.

"The names of the deceased must be written down so that they can provide more support to their families when they return home. The same goes for the injured. Their names will be written in the war merit book. The disabled people will be supported by the General's Palace with money. Or find a job for them, for us and others. When fighting, don’t chill the hearts of your soldiers.”

The generals did not need to agree to this, so they asked the secretary to write it down, and then continued the military discussion. When it came to the batch of Yanshan cavalry in Ding'an City, the generals were all experienced in many battles. They probably thought that the other side might send half of them to go. Come back and attack the formation from the rear.

"First implement Guo Jijiu's plan, hold him back, and let him continue to be suspicious and expose his flaws... Generals, please teach him a lesson."

Su Chen looked at the battlefield map drawn today and the front lines of attack from both sides. He pressed his palm on it and said, "So what if it's 12. I'll behead that imperial general's head!"

"Yes!"

In the tent, all the generals stood up loudly and shouted in unison.

The night wind blows.

More than 70 miles away from here, the huge military camp consisting of more than ten camps is also lit with lights. As the commander's tent and the general's tent, the Chinese army's tent is much more grand and luxurious.

There were also soldiers from the Huben Army guarding the surrounding area, and beyond that was the Longxiang Army, which was used as an operational tool. Regarding the battle during the day, the soldiers stopped looking down on the rebel army and looked particularly gloomy.

In the Chinese army tent in the distance, He Jinchen's voice continued.

"...The infantry of the Ding'an Army feel no worse than us... They have a strong will to fight. If the forces were equal, I'm afraid the situation on the battlefield today would have changed. This is not a good thing. There are also those cavalry who are hiding. I'm very worried." Curious, how long will he hide those cavalrymen..."

After withdrawing his troops, He Jinchen stood in front of the map, staring at every terrain, his brows almost watering.Surrounded by the generals of various armies, some died in the battle, and were temporarily replaced by the lower-level generals. They did not dare to answer the conversation at will, and stood there quietly listening.

"Before, I had some doubts about the Taiping Dao demons who were pretending to be gods and fooling the people. Today I saw the lightning strike, and I was horrified, but it didn't hit. Why? I guessed that the opening of the Taiping Dao angle would only attract thunder. . Judging from his followers, although they are fanatical and not afraid of life and death, they are still a little inferior in fighting in the battle formation. Knowing the situation, there is nothing to worry about. The only thing to worry about is the opponent's cavalry."

In He Jinchen's hoarse and low words, Li Gan, the commander of the Huben Army and the Central Guard behind him, was silent for a moment: "The number of the cavalry is quite small. Even if they take the opportunity to attack the Central Army, I am confident that I will stop them from the Central Army. "What if it's a lot?"

He Jinchen stepped forward, turned around and walked around. He walked to the tent in a single coat, looked at the burning fire in the camp, and took a deep breath: "Send my order to Ling Xiao and ask him to lead three thousand cavalry. Go back and insert the rebels from the rear into the center of the formation. Tomorrow, Fei Zhong will lead Rongzhou’s [-] troops and horses and enter the battlefield from the flanks again, with all the troops pressing forward!”

Thinking of today's damage, his eyes became a little cloudy.

There were more than 7000 casualties. The Shibuya army commander Chen Fang was killed in the battle, and seven generals of the two armies died... The battle losses were so high that it was probably the most tragic in the past ten years.

There was the sound of horse hooves in the distance, rushing towards the military camp where they were stationed. A series of horse hooves made a rumble, pouring into the open camp gate and heading straight for the Chinese army.

The soldiers of the Huben Army guarding the tent stepped forward to stop them. The knights reined in their horses, dismounted and ran staggeringly. There were many injuries on their faces.

When they saw the old man walking out of the camp, they knelt and bowed their hands.

"Greetings to the general, I'm waiting for you...I'm waiting for you, the general of the rear camp!"

Hearing the word 'rear camp' and seeing their dark faces and mottled armor with knife marks, He Jinchen's heart skipped a beat, "What happened to the rear camp?"

"Being...burned."

The old man quickly asked: "But a cavalry?"

Several people on the ground nodded: "An enemy general who wore a beast's mask and swallowed his head armor led an unknown number of cavalry to attack at night, and the commander of the camp was beheaded by him with a halberd."

"and after?"

Most of them didn't know, only one person stuttered: "I saw this group of cavalry burning the rear camp and heading north..."

Heading north?

That’s where Yanzhou is!
Thinking of this, He Jinchen's eyes suddenly widened, and the generals in the army did not dare to express their anger. This mother burned the grain and grain, and still wants to lead a thousand cavalry to attack Yanjing?
"The generals in this group of rebels are all fucking lunatics!!"

Thinking of today's battle, the little enemy general wearing an iron mask and charging into the battle with a gun, fighting desperately; there is also a fat enemy general who is not young, but it suddenly makes people feel frightened.

The most impressive thing was the giant man covered in heavy armor, who looked almost inhuman.

Chen Fang, the commander-in-chief of the Shibuya Army, was also a master of the fourth level. He was killed by the opponent in a single encounter. This was witnessed by many soldiers.

Everyone couldn't help but tremble when they thought of the image of Chen Fang's whole head being crushed when his body was brought back, especially the clear marks on it made by five fingers.

"Returning to the military meeting, since their cavalry has gone to the north, it will be easier tomorrow." He Jinchen asked those people to get up, his face was so solemn that he was almost dripping with water. The arrangement of the opponent's cavalry was a bit beyond his expectation.

He actually ran to Yanzhou!

But does it make sense?Just a lone army.

……

The night was deep, and in the second half of the night, there was a mountain forest more than ten miles away from the battlefield. A figure with black scales and a long white single-sleeved robe on the left stood on the hills and looked at the wilderness ahead, with the military camp dotted with flames.

Behind him were a group of [-] cavalrymen resting on the spot.

"There are so many people..."

Zhang Liao grinned, his cold eyes blinked in the black, and turned to look at the deputy general following him, his face looking gentle in the night.

His beard ruffled slightly in the wind, and he asked softly:
".Do you think the head of his family is afraid of death?"
