Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1527 Interspersed
Yan Yan camp.

Because of the terrain, it stretched out for two or three miles in the mountain road, forming three camps, divided into front, middle and back, with one side leaning on Tongshui and the other facing the road.

In the big camp after a day's journey, there were only a few torches shining, and the rest of the place was completely dark.The patrolling soldiers walked around the camp weakly, their shaky figures elongated under the light of the sparse torches.

This is the back camp. You need to carry heavy equipment along the way, keep up with the rushing pace, and build camps for the front and middle camps when you settle down. Both soldiers and mules and horses are extremely tired. They are not the main combat soldiers either, so when it is their turn to set up fence towers in their camp, they are just for the occasion, so they don't have much thought to fiddle with them.In the minds of the vast majority of Yan Yan soldiers, especially those in the rear battalion, they will not encounter any danger. The front is protected by the huge Yan Yan Zheng soldiers. Go to the camp to deal with it first, and the rear, there is a ghost behind, and the scouts who stayed behind didn't even sound the alarm. Besides, after walking fifty miles a day, people are tired like dogs, so there is no one else to follow come up?

Therefore, these auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands in Yanyan's rear battalion, under exhaustion, slept soundly.

It can be said that when Yan Yan focused his attention on the direction of Zitong, he ignored the threat from the rear, and this kind of negligence would sometimes kill people...

And about a mile behind Yan Yan, there is a forest. On the edge of the forest, Huang Cheng is commanding the soldiers of the mountain battalion who are coming, deploying them according to different combat objectives.

That's right, if you follow Yan Yan's troops, you will inevitably be noticed by some scouts left by Yan Yan to watch the back road, but the problem is that Huang Cheng and others did not follow the proper way at all, but directly Over the mountain interspersed with...

Although there is no moon, the stars all over the sky can still provide some light.

Behind Huang Cheng, there were no other sounds except for the occasional crackling sounds of soldiers' armor touching as some soldiers moved around, making the surroundings even more quiet.

Two days ago, Zhang Liao sent people to pass on the news. On the one hand, he communicated with the overall plan, and on the other hand, he brought two questions from General Fei Qian of Zhengxi...

What is Mountain Camp?
How should mountain camps be used?
Even at this moment, Huang Cheng still feels ashamed when he thinks about it.These two problems were not the first time Huang Cheng saw them, nor was it the first time Fei Qian mentioned them, but Huang Cheng actually neglected them when conducting specific commands.When we cooperated with Wei Yan to attack Fu County before, it was somewhat related, but when it came to lure Yan Yan's troops in turn, because of his own eagerness and arrogance, he gave up the advantage of the mountain camp and became an ordinary soldier. The pawns fought Yan Yan head-on on the battlefield together with Wei Yan...

But now is the time to prove yourself and correct your mistakes.

Huang Cheng turned his head to look at the assembled soldiers on the left and right, raised his arms, and slashed at Yan Yan's rear camp like a sword!

In Yanyan's rear camp, several mules and horses suddenly stood up on the ground. Although they didn't raise their necks and scream, the sound of shaking their heads and snorting woke up the sleeping horses curled up in the corner of the temporary stable. groom.

"Hmm..." The stable boy struggled to get up from the hay. After a long day of exhaustion, he felt as if he had just fallen asleep and was woken up. He was more or less annoyed when he got up, mumbling, and then subconsciously The wobbly man was ready to haul a bale of hay to feed the horses.

When he got to the place where the hay was piled up, the stable boy felt that something was wrong. Thinking of it, he seemed to have fed it once just now. Logically speaking, it should have stopped. Why are these big guys making a fuss again?

Mules and horses are naturally more docile than war horses. Although there are no horses produced in Sichuan and Shu, the small Dian horses in Nanman have excellent endurance. Although they are not good for fighting on the battlefield, they are indeed the best for pulling vehicles and carrying goods. good choice.

The stable boy raised his head and looked around suspiciously, feeling a little uneasy.His mules and horses were always very docile, and they were rarely as abnormal as tonight. The stableman couldn't help stroking the necks of the mules and horses, trying to calm them down.

In the dark night, there was a faint smell coming along with the night wind. This smell was indistinct, faintly visible, and not very real.

The stableman shrugged his nose. Could it be that something was burnt?

Just when the horseman was still looking for the source of the smell, suddenly there was an explosion like a thunderbolt on the dry ground, and it sounded at the fence of the camp. The huge roar accompanied by the rising flames and smoke resounded throughout the entire world, even in the distance. All the valleys are trembling and reverberating!
Shouts of fear were heard from all over the camp, followed by shouts that soared into the sky, resounding through the entire barracks in an instant.The stableman was so frightened that he couldn't stand still, and sat down on the ground. The surrounding mules and horses also kept kicking and screaming, almost kicking him.

In the flickering light of the fire, the horseman saw shadows passing by on the outer wall of the camp. After a brief moment of shock, he closed his eyes, pulled his neck, and shouted like a pig: "There is a ghost!" Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Yan Yan's three camps were all awakened by the loud noise, but in the tent, there was not enough light to illuminate them, and nothing could be seen inside the pitch-black tent, which increased the fear even more. His voice was like the wrath of a god, directly piercing the hearts of Yan Yan's soldiers.

Unidentified soldiers, shouting nervously, hoarse and crazy, accompanied by aimless and unconscious actions, moved one after another in the camp, appearing particularly terrifying.

In Yan Yan's three camps, most people didn't know what happened, and they didn't know what they should do. Every soldier had a huge question mark and exclamation mark on his head, and then he looked around blankly. , and also the bewildered eyes of others.

"Surprise raid, enemy raid..."

Suddenly, there was a heart-piercing sound in the chaos, and the warning gongs also rang together.It is the darkest period of time before dawn. Although there is some light, there are still many soldiers in Sichuan and Shu who cannot see anything because of malnutrition. This not only caused huge psychological damage to the soldiers. The panic also increases the time it takes for them to regain composure and order.

Yan Yan was also awakened by the sound, but in such a chaotic scene, he could only control the guards around him first, and then use these guards to wake up and rectify other soldiers, just like a pyramid, Yan Yan Yan can only sort out and rectify slowly from top to bottom. Almost Sichuan and Shu soldiers who have not experienced any night battles, the reflex arc in this aspect is so long that Yan Yan almost feels that his days are like years.

Although Yan Yan yelled loudly and tried his best to maintain order, in the three camps, too many soldiers were awakened, and the scene was in chaos. Thousands of people crowded together in one place, and the messengers were running around. Among them, it was difficult to find the scattered military Sima, Junhou, Qu Chang and other grassroots non-commissioned officers. Although they tried their best and tried their best, the speed of recovery was still slow.

Most of them were bewildered soldiers who rushed out of the tent, as if they were being carried together by the surging tide, colliding, trampling, crowding, and even breaking out in disorder in the camp. The darkest and most fearful side of the heart is like one wave after another crashing on the camp, sparking greater and more chaos.

I don't know when it started, and I don't know where the fires rose in the camp. Although not every flame can burn any important supplies, it caused more panic. The unclear soldiers were involuntarily moved by the chaotic flow of people, even the soldiers who spontaneously saved could not escape, and became more fragmented and scattered.

Some non-commissioned officers yelled loudly, while others actually yelled symbolically twice before sinking into the chaotic din...

Yan Yan looked at the army that bombed the camp, his face was pale. Although he tried his best to recover, he was still unable to recover for a while, like a wild wolf in a desperate situation, facing the darkness, burst into a long howl of anger and despair.

Huang Cheng commanded his men to rush into Yan Yan's rear camp, like a steel knife piercing into the somewhat loose body of Yan Yan's barracks, and like a rake sweeping into the valley, cutting open immediately Blood spurted out, making Yan Yanhou's auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands who were not strong in combat howl even more frantically, fleeing, running wildly, and running around in a panic.

Huang Cheng's mountain elite wields machetes proficiently, and sometimes even uses the edge of a small sharp steel shield to cut, collide, drive, and slash all the way heartily, quickly devouring one after another. Life, from time to time, the arrows of the hand crossbow roared out of the darkness, shooting and killing Yan Yan's soldiers who were trying to intercept them.

From the breach of Yan Yan's rear camp where Yan Yan was blasted, to the point where Yan Yan's rear camp's auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands opened the gate of the camp, Huang Cheng and his men were like a tornado, as long as it swept past The area is a mess, with bloody corpses and soldiers moaning in a pool of blood everywhere.

Yan Yan closed his eyes in pain.

All kinds of signs indicate that Zhengxi Bingjia is near Zitong, and even cut off the connection between him and Zitong. Even the four scouts he sent out in one day suffered heavy casualties, and no specific information about Zitong could be obtained. , but when Yan Yan focused his attention on the direction of Zitong, he found that all this turned out to be a scam by Zheng Xi and others. Yan Yan's rear battalion soldiers.

When Yan Yan assembled the soldiers and horses in the central camp as quickly as possible, avoiding the fugitive soldiers and civilians who fled out of the rear camp, made a slight detour, and rushed towards the rear camp At the time, Huang Cheng had already led his men to break through Yan Yan's rear battalion.

Huang Cheng didn't expect that today's harvest would be so great. In fact, not many soldiers died directly under the hacking and killing of Huang Cheng and others, not even one-tenth of the rear battalion. But the chaotic deserters As a result, more casualties were caused. Yan Yan's auxiliary soldiers and civilians who had little combat effectiveness were chaotic like headless chickens, entangled together for a while, and fled in all directions for a while. Their unorganized behavior delayed their progress. Escape speed, let death come to their heads faster.

Huang Cheng used to think that night raids, sabotage, and disruptive tactics could only be achieved by specialized special elite scout fighters like Ling Jie, but he didn't expect that he could also achieve such tactics with mountain soldiers today. Ling Jie general effect.

But looking at Yan Yan's soldiers running towards him, Huang Cheng didn't let his excitement and complacency dilute his rationality.

"Withdraw! Withdraw troops!"

The rapid and low sound of the horn awakened the soldiers of the mountain battalion who were immersed in the bloody fighting. Looking at the crying father and mother in front of them, Yan Yan deserted soldiers who had no ability to resist, and their blood-red eyes were full of murderous intent. Not reconciled, but still according to the original plan, stopped the pursuit.

Surrounded by his personal guards, Huang Cheng glanced back at Yan Yan who was rushing from the east, laughed a few times triumphantly, and then sank into the darkness without stopping.

The chaos, without sustained damage, finally subsided slowly. Amidst the tension and uneasiness, the sky gradually brightened.

Everything in front of him made Yan Yan's heart and blood churn, and he was extremely angry.

The entire rear camp was basically gone, except for the dead bodies everywhere, the collapsed gate, and the fallen fence, more than half of the supplies in the camp were burned in the chaos, leaving only a piece of ashes land.

All around are basically the corpses of Yan Yan's auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands, and none of them belonged to the soldiers who conquered the west. I don't know if there are really no casualties, or if those corpses were also retreated by the conquered people. One handle was taken away.Before last night, it seemed to be a crowded camp, but now only the wreckage remains, like a bloody slaughterhouse that has been burned.

"General..." Yan Yan's confidant guards, looking at Yan Yan's changing expression, asked hesitantly, "What are we going to do now?"

"Last night there were not many Zhengxi troops! It's not so easy for them to catch up!" Yan Yan seemed to understand, "It's our negligence! Negligence! Rectify the troops and horses, don't worry about these damned guys, they are just To drag us down, as long as we can rush back to Zitong, these losses are nothing... nothing..."

Yes, normally speaking, duizi is a common occurrence in the battle situation. As long as the final victory is won, duizi is also valuable, but the problem is that Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, has never been a very disciplined person...
