Chapter 67 The Battle of Jinyang

For the Han army, camping every day is a big deal.Not to mention how many ways there are to choose the camp, after the army and horses settle down, they must first dig trenches, then build the outer walls of the camp, sentry towers, supplemented by a camp of transport vehicles; For matters, if you are on an expedition, you need to be busy for an hour every day before you rest.

The Hu people's army is very casual in this respect, just like their ancestors lived on the grasslands chasing water and grass, and they can settle wherever there is plenty of water and grass.As long as the general who leads the army gives an order, even if it is a place in the sky, it can be done.The horn sounded by the Hu people's army just now meant to order the whole army to stop advancing and move closer to the position of the horn before camping.

At this moment, in order to ascertain the enemy's situation, Lu Yao and others were already extremely close to the enemy's central army.When tens of thousands of barbarians huffed and circled, these few people immediately had nowhere to hide.At the moment, without any further delay, everyone rode their horses and galloped wildly.

Sure enough, the Hu people's front team began to turn around one after another.Along the way, they walked parallel with the Hu army several times across the hills, and even circumvented the same cliff with the Hu people.If the Hu people became suspicious of the sound of horseshoes close at hand, they only needed to pay attention to find these Jin army scouts.

Only relying on the blessing of the gods, he finally escaped safely.When they finally got back to the woods where the rest of the men were hiding, everyone felt like they were going to collapse.

The forest is quite a distance from the official road, and it is between two hills.The exit on the east side is covered by lush shrubs, leading to a gentle slope, and a small stream flowing into Zhaoyuqi flows slowly; while the exit on the west side is winding, and after going out, it is connected to the Central Capital. path.This is indeed a very good place to hide.

Several cavalry filed into the forest, and the soldiers who responded in the forest had been prepared, and quickly removed the messy plants, covering the path extending into the forest.

The nervous running just now also consumed Lu Yao's spirit. He was dripping with sweat, and his hand holding the rein trembled slightly.But he didn't get off his horse to rest, but pressed his bridle and said to the soldiers: "The situation of the enemy army is clear, we can't delay any longer, we have to go back and report to the lord immediately!"

The soldiers agreed in unison. They waited in the forest for more than an hour, and both men and horses were full of energy.

Following Lu Yao's order, all the cavalry mounted their horses and headed for the west exit away from the official road.

Not long after leaving the woods, someone in the team suddenly shouted: "General, I can't go!"

Lu Yao frowned and looked back.

The one who shouted was a young officer with a scorched face, his name was Zhu Sheng.Zhu Sheng was a prisoner who was served in the army after the Battle of Banqiao; Lu Yao once saved his life on the way to raid Guojiawu Fort.Before serving the Xiongnu, this man was a horse thief who fled and committed crimes in the two prefectures of Youbing, so his horse bow and horse skills are quite standard.What's even more rare is that he has been educated, and his fairness is supported by everyone, so he was selected into the personal army, and was recently promoted to a senior officer.

Zhu Sheng called repeatedly: "General, you can't go! Listen! Listen!"

Lu Yao raised his hand to signal, and the trembling team immediately quieted down.Lu Yao listened attentively. In the silent forest, there was only the sound of the evening wind blowing the treetops.

wrong.Lu Yao took a deep breath and exhaled deeply.

There was still something faintly blowing in the wind.

What is that sound?

"You nainai!" Shen Jin cursed suddenly, his expression changed.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yao sternly said: "Everyone dismount! Silence! Go back immediately! Quick! Quick! Quick! Quick!"

Many soldiers still didn't know why, but they still followed suit.

Not long after this scouting cavalry team hid in the dark woods again, in the vast night in the distance, the sound of iron hoofs breaking the ground was as impressive as thunder.Although they couldn't see anything, any soldier knew clearly that it was the sound of hundreds of cavalry surrounding them from all sides!

Everyone retreated into the woods in a panic, quite embarrassed.

These more than 100 soldiers are all strong men who have fought in the sea of ​​blood and corpses, and have long put life and death aside; but the current situation is after all being trapped among thousands of enemy troops, and this situation makes everyone feel uneasy.Even officers like corporal chiefs and special chiefs lost their positions for a while.

Lu Yao was the last one to lead the horse back to the woods.Shen Jin stared at Lu Yao, and said excitedly: "Why are we coming back? Waiting to die? It's better to rush out and kill as soon as possible!"

"Why panic, we haven't shown signs yet." Lu Yao didn't even look at Shen Jin.He looked at his subordinates and said calmly, "The barbarian didn't come for us."

He pulled Shen Jin's shoulders and walked towards the edge of the woods: "Go and take a closer look yourself, do they look like they are going to fight?"

A group of people cautiously touched the edge of the woods, and were surprised to find that the Hu people did not come to fight.Judging by their appearance, they clearly intend to camp here.

Perhaps because of the good terrain nearby, the Huns came straight here after gathering the whole army.There are mountains and rivers inside and outside Bingzhou, thousands of mountains and valleys, especially in the south of Taiyuan Kingdom, where there are mountains, lakes, and lakes. The terrain is extremely complex and changeable. There are not a hundred places suitable for camping, and there are eighty, but the Huns just found the same place with them. An area to settle down!

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, all cursing bad luck in their hearts.

Shen Jin hid behind a big tree and looked at the enemy camp, grinding his teeth uneasily.He felt that the small army he was leading was like a small animal hidden in the grass beside the bloodthirsty giant beast.As soon as the giant beast turns over, the little animal will worry whether it will become a ghost under its claws.

"Let the brothers be careful, everyone has a head, and don't alarm the enemy." Lu Yao gave the order in a deep voice, and then concentrated on watching the enemy's camp from the gaps in the branches and leaves, and said nothing more.

Some Hu people rummaged for firewood at the edge of the forest, felled some trees and dragged them away.At this time, the soldiers lay prone on the ground, not even daring to make a loud noise for breathing.

Huren moves very fast.They planed off the twigs of the felled trees to make long poles about ten feet long; they took out felts, leather ropes and other things from the bags they carried with them, supported them with long poles, and tied them together; Hundreds of felt tents were erected, and several camps took shape.These camps occupy a vast area, spreading out as if forming a huge fan, extending for three or four miles, enclosing several small hills and several forests nearby.

Looking out from the woods, the tents of various colors can't be seen at a glance, and the flying military flags cover the sky and cover the sun.

The shouts of soldiers, the sound of trumpets, and the neighing of horses mixed together to form a noisy wave of sound.There were even women's screams and cursing, which undoubtedly came from the Han women who were captured by the Huns along the way and used as camps.At this moment, there are only some soldiers molesting them, and their tragic fate will not begin until night.

A look of compassion flashed across Lu Yao's face. He continued to check the movements of the barbarians, and soon noticed a well-organized camp on the west side of the forest, on a gentle slope not more than mile away from Lu Yao.

Usually the Hu people's camps are simple and loose, but this camp is quite different.There are several layers of antlers inside and outside the camp, and there are several entrances and exits. It can accommodate about a thousand people depending on the scale.In the middle of the camp, the flag of "Champion General" was flying high, indicating that this was where Qiao Xi's team was.On the other side of the camp is a meandering creek. Thousands of war horses are grazing on both sides of the creek. It seems that the team is all cavalry.

After a while, a group of knights who looked like barbarian generals arrived, and the soldiers all bowed and saluted wherever they passed.At the core of this group of people is the giant bearded man Qiao Xi.

Lu Yao watched intently, until Qiao Xi waved the generals to disperse and strode into the Chinese army tent, then waved his hand to signal that all the soldiers who followed him retreated into the forest, and he fell to the last as usual.

Shen Jin walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around again, but saw Lu Yao squinting his eyes to look at the barbarian's tent again, and he didn't know what he was planning.

"Daoming!" Shen Jin sighed, and called Lu Yao in a low voice: "It's not a solution for us to waste time here! It's hidden here, but the forest is too small to hide people. Even if it is not discovered at night, it will be bright tomorrow morning. There is only one way to die.”

Lu Yao nodded slightly: "I know."

"We have to break out at night!" Shen Jin waved his fist and gritted his teeth: "The barbarian camp is loose, and the patrols at night are not in place. This little battle may not trap us. Let's set off in the middle of the night, from the east. Sneaking in the small road, if you are lucky, maybe [-]% of the people get out... Maybe [-]%... Even if you are discovered, it doesn't matter, make a bloody way to break through! Brothers are heroes who are not afraid of death, kill one is enough, kill Earn two!"

"Hmm, um!" Lu Yao was still looking out of the woods, agreeing.

He said a lot, but Lu Yao didn't respond. Shen Jin couldn't help becoming anxious, and said in a low voice, "Daoming! You..." Before he finished speaking, Lu Yao grabbed his arm and pulled him over.The strength in Lu Yao's hands was so great that even his arms, which were as heavy as iron, felt bursts of pain.

Lu Yao shook his head and said, "Breakthrough? Not to mention the chances of breaking out, even if you break out of the enemy camp, how sure are you of escaping from the barbarian cavalry?" Without waiting for Shen Jin to answer, Lu Yao said one word. After a pause, he said: "In this situation, if you take a step back, you will be reduced to a homeless dog, only to be chased and killed. If you go further, you can achieve extraordinary achievements!"

Shen Jin's heart skipped a beat, hesitantly said: "What does Daoming mean...?"

Lu Yao turned his head sharply. In the twilight, his eyes were almost shining, as if with a soul-stirring power.He pointed his halberd at the enemy general's camp Xu Kai away, and Ling Ran said: "In my opinion, we will take the enemy general's camp first and kill the enemy general Qiao Xi at the third watch tonight! If the general dies, the barbarians will be in chaos." , I will fight boldly, and see who dares to block!"

Lu Yao actually planned to attack the enemy army at night with only 150 cavalry, and take the head of the general from the crowd!Such a bold idea contained an irresistible magic power, which made Shen Jin's whole blood boil, making him almost dizzy.

He was thinking violently in his heart, and unconsciously said: "But..."

"Since I joined Yue Shigong's command, I have deeply felt the hero's generosity, heroism and extraordinary bearing. However, his old department thought it was good at fighting, and often underestimated me and the rest of the state army. You must also have a deep understanding of the many helplessness."

Lu Yao stared at Shen Jin, and said slowly: "Now we are trapped in the enemy's camp. Although it is dangerous, it is also a heaven-sent opportunity. It is the time for a man to make a contribution. As long as this battle is successful, we will not only be proud? I am afraid that thousands of people will It's not a problem to read it, from now on, who dares to underestimate it! I know that brother enjoys the reputation of being brave in the Bingzhou army, but I don't know if he has the courage to help me make meritorious service this time?"

Shen Jin has the courage to defeat a hundred men and is proficient in cavalry tactics. He can be called Lu Yao's capable subordinate.It's just that this gentleman is not as good as a life-and-death acquaintance like Xue Tong, or a long-time veteran like Guo Huan, and his temperament is a bit more rebellious, and non-aggressive methods are not enough to convince this person.

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Shen Jin waved his fist angrily and said, "I would like to fight with the general!"

"Okay!" Lu Yao strode back to the forest, and sent an order: "All soldiers gather!"
