Chapter 65 Late night raid
Last time, Qian Xiaoxing saw that Hu's troops were divided and thought of Lanjiang, so he also divided his troops to go out to intercept them. The Hu army immediately discovered this action and reported it to Luo Tianji...
Luo Tianji was very happy after hearing this information. Although he didn't know what Sima Yiqing's purpose was, the situation was developing as Sima Yiqing expected. It seemed that Qian Xiaoxing was step by step into the trap and immediately found Sima Yiqing to report the situation.
Sima Yiqing was in the room, waiting anxiously for the news. When he saw Luo Tianji coming in, he asked anxiously: "Is there any news?"
"Teacher, the Si Jun really divided his troops to resist the enemy!" Luo Tianji said.
Sima Yiqing said happily: "It's great. It's not easy to fool someone like Qian Xiaoxing."
Luo Tianji asked curiously: "Teacher, Si Jun is now divided into troops. How do you want to deal with Si Jun?"
"Capture the king first!" Sima Yiqing said firmly: "Now that the main force of the Si army is scattered, we have the opportunity to capture Qian Xiaoxing. As long as we catch Qian Xiaoxing, although the Si army has high quality and strong attack power, I can slowly weaken it until it is eliminated."
Luo Tianji nodded and thought for a while and asked, "But there are only 20,000 soldiers in the mountain city, and there are 20,000 soldiers in the Emerald City where Qian Xiaoxing is located. With the strength of our soldiers, we may not be able to defeat the Si Jun."
"You are right, but have you forgotten what we did when we withdrew from the Jade City?" Sima Yiqing asked.
Luo Tianji immediately replied: "Of course I didn't forget. You asked a thousand soldiers to pretend to be the people and hide in the Emerald City. It turned out that the teacher had made arrangements for today."
"These thousand Hu troops are the key to our victory. Our 20,000 people cannot defeat the 20,000 people of the Si army. However, if we have one thousand people working together inside and outside, the Si army in the Jade City is very likely to be destroyed by us." Sima Yiqing analyzed.
Luo Tianji said excitedly: "It's great, Si Jun, who has won every battle, I think he will finally lose this time."
Sima Yiqing was not happy, sighed and said, "What can I do if I defeat the Si army? My family has been destroyed, and Chuchu doesn't know where it is now."
Looking at Sima Yiqing with a lonely expression, Luo Tianji didn't know what to say, so he had to comfort him: "Chu Chu must be lucky and heavenly, and there will be no trouble. Now the teacher is released from the Heavenly Prison. The news has not been spread yet. After defeating the Si Jun, the whole world will be announced. Chu Chu will definitely come to find the teacher."
"I hope so," Sima Yiqing sighed helplessly and said slowly: "Tomorrow, the army will be launched in the Jade City. After defeating Qian Xiaoxing, it will be the time for me to retire to the mountains and forests."
Luo Tianji said in surprise: "Teacher, are you going to retire? Hu Guo cannot be without you."
"I'll just say something to you," Sima Yiqing paused for a moment and couldn't help but say sadly: "I want me to assist the third generation of King Hu, with acute shoulder lymphadenitis, and Hu Guo said that he would arrest me if he wanted to arrest me, and he would not take me seriously. I have seen it clearly. The reason why I promised King Hu to attack Si Jun this time was that I had to fight with Qian Xiaoxing. I don't believe that there are people in China who I cannot defeat."
Luo Tianji felt sad after hearing this, but what Sima Yiqing said really makes sense. It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. No matter what his achievements were before, if something happened one day, he would still be pulled out and beheaded.
Luo Tianji insisted on continuing to persuade him, but when Sima Yiqing had decided, he could only leave in disappointment.
The next day, the 20,000 Hu troops in the mountain city began to march towards Jade City. Among the 20,000 soldiers, 4,000 were cavalrymen, who were riding in front of the team to lead the way. In the middle of the team, there was a carriage with a carport mixed in the middle, and as the troops advanced slowly...
In the Emerald City, a soldier rushed towards the command center and shouted loudly at the door: "Report!"
"Come in!" Qian Xiaoxing replied in the room.
After entering, the soldier knelt on his own leg and reported: "The Chief of Staff, three miles away from the Emerald City, found 20,000 Hu troops coming to us."
Qian Xiaoxing said in surprise: "Twenty thousand Hu troops, but Hu troops in the mountains?"
The soldier couldn't confirm it, but just replied: "It's from that direction."
"It's only 20,000 people, I want to come and beat us? It's too overestimated!" Although Qian Xiaoxing was puzzled, he didn't feel surprised when he thought that Luo Tianji might do something stupid, and said, "Import all the soldiers immediately and the whole city is on guard!"
The soldier retreated, and Qian Xiaoxing also came to the city wall, picked up the telescope and observed, and saw that a large number of Hu soldiers were indeed pressing over in the direction of the north.
Lu Shengzhong also received the notice and immediately rushed to the city wall. When he saw Qian Xiaoxing, he asked: "Seventh brother, what's the situation?"
"The Hu army is coming in a fierce manner, as if we want to attack the city. We are waiting for our leisure, so let's play with Luo Tianji!" Qian Xiaoxing said with a smile.
Lu Shengzhong said in confusion: "The Hu army attacked the Emerald City with 20,000 people stationed in 20,000 people. This is too unreasonable. Will the Hu army be cheated?"
Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhong, you and I don't know Luo Tianji's character. I have touched his IQ lower limit. I really want to ask him, can you still be a little idiot?"
Although Lu Shengzhong had doubts, he could not think of the problem. Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing had some reason for this analysis, he had to put his worries in his heart.
The walls of Jade City are not high and there is no moat, so it is still very risky to defend. The Si army did not dare to be careless and sent a large number of soldiers to guard the four gates.
The Hu army slowly approached the Jade City, but did not come to attack the city. They began to set up camp one mile away from the Jade City.
The sky gradually darkened. Qian Xiaoxing saw that Hu army came but did not attack. He really didn't know what the Hu army had sold. While he was thinking, a soldier came to report with a letter: "Chief of Staff, this is the letter from Hu army commander Luo Tianji."
Qian Xiaoxing took it and saw it, and said in the letter: "Hello General Qian Xiaoxing, my Hu army is scheduled to attack you Jade City tomorrow morning. Please prepare for defense. If our army wins by chance, don't let outsiders think that our army has successfully attacked."
"Haha, hehe..." Qian Xiaoxing smiled after reading the letter. The more he thought about it, the more he felt funny, until he couldn't stop laughing.
Lu Shengzhong took the letter and looked at it, and shook his head helplessly. Luo Tianji seemed to be pedantic. He would attack the city and would like to inform the other party in advance. After thinking about it, he still reminded him: "Seventh brother, please be more careful in everything. Perhaps he deliberately wrote a letter to confuse us, making us think that we would start attacking tomorrow, and then no one would defend the city at night, and he would be able to successfully attack."
Qian Xiaoxing laughed so hard that his stomach aches, and squatted on the ground to relieve it and said, "I was fooled by Luo Tianji in the last field battle. This time I will definitely not listen to him. He wants to wait for tomorrow. I will not wait for tomorrow. Tonight, I will send the Dark Knights to the camp and kill them personally!"
"Captain robbery?" Lu Shengzhong said worriedly: "Is this risky?"
Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and said, "There will be no risk. We still have 10,000 infantry and 6,000 wild cherry regiments in the city. There is no problem in defending the city. As for the Dark Knights, Brother Zhong, do you think the Hu army's 20,000 infantry can trap them?"
"Well, that's fine. If Luo Tianji really thought we would wait for them to start war tomorrow, then he would definitely relax his vigilance tonight. It would be a good time to rob the camp." Lu Shengzhong continued to analyze.
Qian Xiaoxing made a decision: "Okay, Brother Zhong, please reply first and promise a decisive battle tomorrow morning! But at midnight tonight, I will send the Dark Knights to the camp!"
It was already dark, and there were flames in the Hu army camp. Patrol soldiers walked by from time to time. Sima Yiqing was calm in a remote small tent, while Luo Tianji was obviously nervous and asked: "Teacher, Si Jun has already replied and said he agreed to start the war tomorrow morning. Then will we really attack the city tomorrow morning?"
"Since ancient times, military books say: If a war is in a weird way, if a war is really open and upright, wouldn't it be better for anyone to win?" Sima Yiqing laughed.
Luo Tianji still didn't understand very well and asked, "What does the teacher mean?"
"Tonight, I guess the Si Jun will come to rob the camp!" Sima Yiqing touched his beard and said, "If the Si Jun really comes to rob the camp, then it will be easier for us to take down the Emerald City and catch Qian Xiaoxing."
Luo Tianji asked in confusion: "Teacher, why did you judge that Qian Xiaoxing would come to rob the camp?"
"We say that the city will be siege tomorrow, and I hope that the Si army will relax our vigilance tonight, but at the same time, Qian Xiaoxing will also guess that we will relax our vigilance tonight, because it was agreed that the war would start tomorrow. Such a great opportunity, unless he is a poor commander, such an opportunity will not be missed." Sima Yiqing analyzed.
"So that's the case," Luo Tianji sighed: "As the teacher mentioned it, the students suddenly realized that if the Si Jun came to rob the camp, what should we do?"
Sima Yiqing came to the map and said, "In the Emerald City, the Si army has only 10,000 infantry, 4,000 Dark Knights, and 6,000 female bow and cavalry soldiers. So, I guess they are coming to rob the camp and send the Dark Knights."
Luo Tianji said: "It is true, only the Dark Knights have a strong impact, and Qian Xiaoxing has no choice."
"If the Dark Knights come to the camp, the Emerald City will be like the thing in my pocket, haha! Haha!" Sima Yiqing couldn't help laughing happily.
Seeing that Sima Yiqing was so confident, Luo Tianji immediately asked for a fight and said, "Please give the order to the teacher!"
"Okay, we'll be like this tonight...so..."
At midnight, that is, at midnight in modern times, the gate of Emerald City slowly opened, and a group of soldiers in black armor lined up in sequence and left the north gate.
Qian Xiaoxing tried to rob the camp for the first time, so he was a little nervous and said to the cavalry brigade commander Yang Qing: "You should not be careless when you go forward this time. After storming into the Hu camp, you must not fight in love. Burning the Hu camp and killing some Hu soldiers is enough."
Yang Qing bowed and said, "Chief of Staff, don't worry, King Wu's army is so difficult to fight, we have all captured it. Just a Hu camp can't trap our Dark Knights!"
"Okay, when you disrupt the Hu camp, I will send troops to help me and strive to wipe out the Hu army!" Qian Xiaoxing planned.
