Under the night, a full moon hung high, emitting bright moonlight.
Deep in the mountains and forests, in the open areas.
All Chen soldiers from Yangzhou have rested. Because these people stayed in the mountains for a long time, they did not rest in the open air, but specially set up tents in the mountains. As night fell, everyone rested in their tents.
They don¡¯t have the same treatment as Han Song.
Han Song could eat well and drink spicy food in Guangling City, and even sleep with women every day. But these lowest-level soldiers and generals in the army can only eat dry food in the mountains. They were hiding. Once they buried a pot in the mountains to make rice, the smoke would rise and their whereabouts would be easily exposed. They could only eat dry food.
This is due to the environment.
In the camp, torches crackled and burned, dispelling the darkness.
At the entrance of the camp, there were a few dozen soldiers standing guard. However, this kind of sentry was in vain, because the soldiers who were sentry sat slumped directly at the gate of the camp, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
They have been in the mountains for a long time, and their whereabouts have not been exposed from the beginning to the end. So as time goes by, they have changed from being strictly guarded and watching all night at the beginning, to now sleeping directly.
The soldiers' vigilance was very low and they had no defense.
In the mountain forest, only the chirping of birds and insects is left, echoing endlessly.
After all, it is summer, and there are many insects, birds, and animals.
While these soldiers on guard were sleeping, rustling footsteps could be heard in the dark forest far away from the camp. Because it was far away from the camp, even if there were rustling sounds in the forest, the soldiers on guard would not know about it.
Xiao Qingzhi has arrived with his soldiers.
When he reached the edge of the woods, he raised his hand and ordered all the soldiers to stop temporarily. The soldiers kept stopping, each one holding their breath and waiting quietly.
Xiao Qingzhi looked ahead, carefully examining the situation in the camp. After some observation, Xiao Qingzhi found that the camp was empty and there were no patrols at all.
The dozen or so soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the camp were all sleeping on the ground, looking like they were fast asleep.
Xiao Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and already had a judgment in his mind.
This group of Chen soldiers were unprepared because they were hiding in the mountains and did not think their whereabouts would be leaked.
You can attack directly.
After a while, Xiao Qingzhi already had a plan. He immediately called Nie Feng and gave the order. In the blink of an eye, Nie Feng quietly moved forward with ten soldiers. Because the group of people weaved around from both sides, it was difficult to be discovered.
When the distance got closer, Nie Feng came out of the darkness with his soldiers, approached the soldiers standing guard at the door, and struck out like lightning. Just hearing the sound of PUCH PUCH, a sword fell down, killing the soldiers standing guard one by one.
Even if someone spoke up, they would be killed immediately.
Amidst the constant chirping of insects and birds, the soldiers¡¯ small screams were immediately suppressed. The entrance to the camp was thoroughly cleaned, and there were no more people standing guard.
After Xiao Qingzhi completed this step, he stopped talking and decisively ordered the attack.
The soldiers under his command rushed forward in an orderly manner.
Even so, Xiao Qingzhi did not press all the soldiers up. On the one hand, he had to arrange for soldiers to respond. On the other hand, he wanted to block the escaped Chen soldiers.
So Xiao Qingzhi led people to wait outside.
Not long after, the soldiers under his command had already entered the camp and started a large-scale massacre. Cries of killing and screams suddenly rang out, breaking the sounds in the forest.
The 30,000 Chen troops in the mountains were all resting and completely unprepared. There were no weapons, no armor, and everyone was sleeping in the tent.
Many people were even killed in their sleep without even realizing it. Even if someone wakes up and is suddenly attacked, they will be unable to resist in a short time and will be killed quickly.
This fight was a one-sided massacre.
The killings continued and the casualties were serious.
More and more people escaped, and in a blink of an eye, they were killed by the soldiers led by Xiao Qingzhi. Although some soldiers still escaped, most of them stayed in the camp and were either killed or became prisoners.
This battle is completely a one-sided crushing without any difficulty.
In less than an hour and a half, the fighting was completely over. It was past midnight at this time, the moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight fell down, covering the mountains, but the mountains and forests were full of corpses, with countless dead and injured.
When Xiao Qingzhi saw this scene, his expression was solemn, but?Unmoved. His eyes fell on Yu Feihu, who looked calm beside him, and asked: "Yu Feihu, how did you feel when you saw the killing tonight?"
Yu Feihu has never killed anyone.
Never been on the battlefield.
However, he is also a man who has seen blood and has killed countless wild beasts in the mountains. Even when he went into the mountains to fight wild boars, he was someone who had fought before and could face it calmly.
Yu Feihu looked serious and said somewhat cautiously: "General Xiao, these Chen soldiers should be killed. They are the same as Shi Chong, and they are all coming to harm us."
"Shi Chong exploited the people in Guangling County, making it difficult for countless people to make a living. Such people must be eliminated."
"These Chen soldiers are here to help Zhou. If we keep them, the people of Guangling County will be even worse. Shi Chong must also be defeated. If he is alive, there will never be peace in Guangling County."
Yu Feihu said: "Only by surrendering to King Qi can we have a chance to survive and live a better life."
Xiao Qingzhi smiled, nodded and said: "You are right, there will be casualties in war, and we must win this battle. Now in the army, you are also quite smart and courageous, so study hard. In the army, there is more than just training. , you also need to read and write. So I hope you can seize the opportunity. As long as you are willing to learn and study hard, your future will definitely be good."
Yu Feihu said: "Yes!"
After a pause, Yu Feihu said: "General, when I lead the troops back tonight, can I go directly to the village? I still have some people who need to be taken care of in the village. I am leaving now and I have to hand over the situation. The arrangements are clear. I will return to the military camp tomorrow morning."
Xiao Qingzhi said: "Yes, but do you need a certain amount of money to help the villagers?"
Yu Feihu shook his head and said: "No need, the villagers are honest, and they also have some food in stock, which is enough for them to live. Especially this year's autumn harvest is coming soon, because after King Qi took Guangling County, we did not need to pay taxes on the food we collected, which is enough Life. It¡¯s pretty good for them to live like this.¡±
Xiao Qingzhi nodded, said no more, and waited quietly.
Not long after, Nie Feng led his soldiers to Xiao Qingzhi's side and reported: "Report to the captain, the number of Chen soldiers killed in our battle was 7896, and the number of prisoners captured was 7896." The number was nineteen thousand three hundred and sixty-five.¡±
"Our own losses were less than fifty people and more than three hundred people were injured. This battle was completely a one-sided crushing. But even so, two to three thousand people still escaped."
Nie Feng felt a little regretful.
Because more than two thousand people escaped, the fight was not particularly successful.
Xiao Qingzhi said: "Two or three thousand people have escaped, so it will have no impact. All the corpses of the beheaded people will be burned immediately. Then take their weapons and food, and we will prepare to withdraw."
"yes!"
Nie Feng immediately went to make arrangements.
In a short period of time, the bodies of all the dead soldiers began to be burned.
It is a hot summer day and the body must be disposed of. Otherwise, once the body is left untreated, diseases will easily develop after the body rots, leading to extremely serious consequences.
When the fire burned completely, Xiao Qingzhicai led the army and began to return.
This way, the speed is much slower.
In addition, a lot of time was wasted in the mountains. When the group returned to the army, a touch of fish belly white gradually rose in the eastern sky, and the sky gradually became brighter.
Xiao Qingzhi went straight back to the Chinese army's tent, told Zhou Zishan the news of the victory, and finally said: "Commander, we have won a great victory this time and captured nearly 20,000 people. Shi Chong made a big mistake this time. . I guess Shi Chong is starting to panic at the moment. Without Han Song¡¯s 30,000 troops, he can¡¯t stop it!"
Zhou Zishan thought for a while and said: "Although Shi Chong must be panicked, it is not easy for us to break the county seat for the time being. After all, Shi Chong himself has enough troops in the city. In addition, he can continue to ask for help from Yangzhou."
"Especially Guangling County, it is also a strong city. It not only has a moat, but also a urn city, which is not easy to break. But at the moment, we should take a step further to weaken the fighting spirit of Shi Chong's army, and even contribute to the loss of Shi Chong's heart."
Zhou Zishan said: "Captain Xiao, send the order and dispatch a part of the army to attack the county town to give Shi Chong a surprise."
Xiao Qingzhi immediately gave the order.
He led more than 20,000 soldiers and set off towards Guangling County. As for the prisoners, a group of soldiers were left to guard them to ensure the stability of the military camp. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
