Chapter 140 Burning the enemy's food and grass
Wei Wuji and Xu Chu broke through to the north and advanced about five miles.
Wei Wuji said: "Now the enemy's cavalry should have come back, let's go west..."
"Master, are we leaving like this?"
Xu Chu said unwillingly: "We came here from afar, and we fought for half an hour and killed less than 10,000 enemies. How can I explain to the soldiers when I go back?"
"What do you want?"
"The last general thinks that he should go to the enemy camp and rush to kill again!"
Xu Chu said: "The enemy's attention is all on the front line battlefield. He could not have thought that we would go to his camp. We will definitely win by surprise."
"You really want to attack the camp?"
"Um."
Wei Wuji originally wanted to withdraw directly.
Because he came here not to fight Sun Jin, but just wanted to understand the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army and the Beiqing army.
He saw it now and felt that the 50,000 elite troops in the Hukou Pass had a chance to win.
The purpose of this trip was also achieved.
Just return to Hukou Pass and prepare for the next battle.
However, Xu Chu's words made Wei Wuji feel a little lucky.
Perhaps Sun Jin really didn't expect that he would attack the camp during the day, and the two armies are fighting now, so it is even more impossible to attack the camp.
If it suddenly appears outside the enemy's camp, launch a fierce attack.
Perhaps the three thousand black armored troops can really establish a wonderful achievement.
Wei Wuji said: "I agree to attack the camp, but you have to make sure that you don't leave my 100-step distance and are ready to retreat at any time. Because Sun Jin's army is not far from the camp, he will come to join the war after receiving the news. It will be difficult for us to break through at that time."
"well...."
Xu Chu said happily: "I will listen to everything to the lord."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go."
"yes."
Xu Chu ordered the entire army to go east.
Three thousand black armored cavalry rushed towards Sun Jin's camp.
.........
On the battlefield in the distance, Sun Jin was still commanding the troops and reorganizing his formation. He guessed that Wei Wuji would take advantage of the situation to break through the west and ask Dong Siyuan to send heavy troops to garrison the west.
He never thought that his camp would be attacked.
This is probably because of being smart, but being smart.
However, he could guess Wei Wuji's thoughts and every time he could predict it.
This time, Xu Chu offered his plan and Wei Wuji adopted it, which made him lose all his efforts.
Half an hour.
Sun Jin received news that the camp was attacked and it was the back camp.
Sun Jin was shocked: "No, withdraw your troops quickly!"
He directly ordered all the troops to turn around and return to the camp. He also asked Dong Siyuan, who was in the west, to come back to help the war and encircle and annihilate Wei Wuji in the camp.
He realized that the Black Armor Army was fast and had strong combat power. It could not only raid in the field, but also break through and escape when surrounded.
If it weren't for Dong Siyuan's tens of thousands of cavalry, what might have happened before might have happened.
Therefore, he would rather risk Wei Wuji's escape than transfer back to Dong Siyuan to encircle and annihilate the camp.
at this time.
Wei Wuji and Xu Chu rushed to the enemy's rear camp and rushed in from the rear camp.
Originally, Wei Wuji was preparing to rush to the front camp, because the soldiers in the front camp had no awareness of preparing for war, they were loose and lacked the sense of combat.
This was probably because Sun Jin fought on the front line, which made them subconsciously believe that Sun Jin was in charge of his position and that the Chu army had no time to take care of him. This left the eighty or ninety thousand troops in the front camp in a state of idleness.
If you rush to the front camp, you will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
However, Li Bai, who had just arrived outside the enemy camp, was ordered to inquire about the enemy's back camp, came back. According to the information he found, he had accumulated 300,000 stones of grain and grass in the enemy's back camp.
This was probably the food rations of Zhao Qing's coalition forces within several months.
All are hoarded here.
Wei Wuji made a quick decision and gave up attacking the front camp, went to the enemy's back camp to fight, and tried to burn the enemy's food and grass.
When the two armies fight, food and supplies are the top priority.
No matter how strong the combat power or how much military power is, as long as the food is destroyed, everything is over.
It sounds very difficult for the weak Chu State to defeat hundreds of thousands of enemies with tens of thousands of troops.
But if you can seize the opportunity, you may not be able to win in one blow.
Wei Wuji knew that going to the Houying camp took a lot of risks, but he had to do so.
He had to try it, and what if this fight would end the war.
With such thoughts, the Black Armored Army entered from the rear camp.
According to the information Li Bai had found out before, he went directly to the place where the food and grass were stocked.
"Xu Chu, I'm here to block it. Go and burn the food and grass." Wei Wuji roared.
"yes."
Xu Chu and more than a thousand soldiers rushed into the warehouse where the food and grass were stored.
There were about 3,000 enemies stationed there. When they saw the Black Armored Army coming in, they fought back.
"Kill it..." Xu Chu led his people forward and rushed forward.
The Black Armored Army slaughtered these ordinary soldiers, which was like cutting melons and vegetables, without difficulty.
When the war begins, the situation is completely one-sided.
The three thousand soldiers, except those who guarded everywhere, came to participate in the war, but were beaten back and finally fled in scattered areas.
Xu Chu shouted: "Don't worry about them, burn the food and grass!"
Many soldiers carried fire, ignited it and threw it into the pile of food and weeds.
Huhuhuhu...
By chance, the wind blew as soon as the fire ignited.
The fire leverages the wind and becomes more intense.
In just half a quarter of an hour, it was no longer possible.
Xu Chu smiled and said, "It's great, it's not in vain now. If that kid Sun Jin knew that the food and grass were burned, he would vomit blood in anger."
The fire spread.
Xu Chu led his army to evacuate.
Outside the granary.
Wei Wuji was still fighting with the coming enemies.
The Black Armor Army has strong combat power and can block the rushing enemies, but cannot withstand many enemies, so they take turns to fight.
What's more, when a cavalry attacks, it is best to charge at a certain distance.
Now it's a positional war, and there is no advantage.
After two quarters of an hour, Wei Wuji felt that there were some casualties in the Black Armor Army, so he ordered five hundred of them to advance forward and force the enemy back.
When attacking again, the Black Armored Army will have a certain buffer.
"Master, Madam..."
Xu Chu ran out with a smile: "I have ignited the enemy's food and grass, and the fire is spreading. Even if Sun Jin comes now, it will not be possible to extinguish it."
"good!"
Wei Wuji said excitedly: "Good job, we'll make a lot of money now. I guess Sun Jin will come back soon, so we can evacuate quickly and fight outside."
"yes."
Under the leadership of Wei Wuji and Xu Chu, all the black armored troops retreated.
Zhao Guojun, who had finally caught up with him, saw that the fire had already lit in the granary, they did not dare to pursue Wei Wuji, for fear of wasting time to put out the fire.
Under the organization of their respective generals and lieutenants, we fetch water to put out the fire.
What is a drop in the bucket?
Now it's called a drop in the bucket.
When the fire ignites, the water they take is not enough to fill the fire trough.
Instead, it is getting bigger and bigger, and cannot be controlled.
