Chapter 392: Observation from the City

Li Huchen attacked the enemy camp at night!
In the heavy rain in Bahana's camp, with bare chest, he stood astride a yellow-maned horse and advanced to mobilize troops to deal with the situation!

In fact, this time they came south, in the north of Dezhou City, Bahana and Shi Tingzhu jointly built a camp here, which is the layout method of Changshu camp!
The so-called conventional camp structure can be divided into square camp, Bagua camp and half-moon camp.

The Yingkou deer horn barricade can be arranged clockwise inside with the right Yuhou Army, right front army, right rear army, left Yuhou Army, left rear army and left front army!

The central army was separated from the outer camps by piles of objects, forming an internal defense!
The Half Moon Camp often uses the natural barriers of rivers and mountains as one side, eliminating the need for rear defense, and is divided into two parts, left and right, which can be arranged in a goose formation!

The Fangkuoying and Baguaying are stable strategies!
The terrain is open and there are many soldiers and horses, so we are particularly happy to expand the camp.

The terrain is occasionally undulating and the number of soldiers and horses is limited, so we should take advantage of the strengths of Bagua and set up a Bagua camp!

The joint construction of Bahana and Shi Tingzhu is a typical layout of Baguaying.

The central army is in the center, surrounded by sword chariots, and the Manchu army flags and cavalry on the left and right are stationed on the outer edges, using their mobility advantage to protect their two wings!

The Han army infantry who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were then divided into front and back lines.

However, the formation is a good one, but after all, this combined enemy army has wasted four days outside the city of Dezhou!

The Han army servant soldiers who were originally guarding Yingkou had already been sent to besiege the city!

It’s dead, it’s an outsider’s outsider!

Therefore, there was no one guarding in front of the camp. Otherwise, if Hu Chen had not brought his troops, it would have been impossible for him to break into the camp so easily!

I think it is because of this that the Jiannu army united and became so arrogant!
From the bottom of his heart, he looked down upon the Ming army that should have been garrisoning Shandong, which is why he made such a mistake and ignored it for days!

And Hu Chen rushed into the camp, charging left and right.

The reason why I can still hold on until this moment is also due to another reason!
In fact, it is not difficult to guess the key point here. It is the method of disruption mentioned before!
Hei Si Hu Chen has the courage that no one can stop him. He charges ahead, gallops in all directions, and kills every enemy he meets.

They put out the campfires, shouted loudly, and screamed for killing. Such actions temporarily frightened the enemy in the camp into confusion!
You know, when camping at night, most soldiers don’t sleep in armor!

It was pitch dark in the late night, with heavy rain pouring down and strong winds howling from the north.

Especially since Bahana and Shi Tingzhu have left the tent, it is difficult to estimate how many troops have broken into the camp in such a short time.

It is precisely because of all these factors combined that the strategy of raiding the camp at night was so successful!

At the same time, on the city wall of North Gate of Dezhou!

At this moment, Sun Peizhong was also attracted by the noisy noise in the northern camp of the Jiannu!
The man dozed off at night, and to avoid a surprise attack from the enemy, he marched for four consecutive days without taking off his armor!
At this moment, he suddenly heard new developments in the north, so he hurriedly stood up to the battlement on the city wall, took out his portable monocular telescope, and looked towards the north of the city!
"Will--"

"General!"

"Hey General!" At this moment, Duan Hongcai, who was originally guarding the northern Guandong section, also noticed something unusual outside the pass, and ran over to communicate, gasping for breath.

"General!"

"The enemy camp is in chaos, chaos!"

"It must be that our reinforcements have finally arrived!"

"Hahaha"

"I just took a look at it from the east section. Wow!"

"In the Jiannu northern camp, there is a sound of fighting!"

"Now, everyone is lighting fires again!"

"I thought they were our people, so they really charged the camp with cavalry and attacked at night!"

Hongcai's face showed excitement. He paused, swallowed hard, and hurriedly continued speaking.

"General!"

"Send out the troops!"

"Tell the soldiers to beat the war drums on the city walls!"

"Let's take the remaining defenders and charge out from the north gate!"

"Gather our forces and attack the Jiannu camp!"

"Damn it, it's been four days, I'm so frustrated!"

"We should have rushed out and fought them head-on!"

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!"

"General, general!"

"Please give the order quickly!" Duan Hongcai spoke excitedly, volunteering to fight!

At this time, Peizhong let out a long breath, squinted his eyes and looked towards the north again!

I could only see that in the Jiannu camp, each camp was making noise, lighting fires like stars, and shouting to the sky!
However, Sun Peizhong is usually cautious and seeks stability, so he has his own concerns about this sudden incident.

So, when he heard that Deputy General Hongcai wanted to fight, he quickly waved his hand to stop the idea.

"kindness?!"

"No!"

"No!" "The garrison of Dezhou City, from you and me on down, has more than a thousand soldiers, and not a single soldier is allowed to leave the city!" Pei Zhong said firmly.

Hearing this, Hongcai was puzzled and looked hesitant, so he asked more questions immediately!

"Ah?! This."

"This"

"oops!"

"General, what on earth is going on here?!"

"Such a great opportunity." Hongcai was reluctant.

"Eh?!"

"Hongcai, what you said is wrong!"

"Come, stand up, follow me and take a closer look!" As he spoke, Peizhong pulled up Duan Hongcai, who was kneeling on one knee, and pointed his finger towards Guanbei!
"Come and see!"

"I see that this cavalry has been attacking the camp for more than two quarters of an hour!"

"Right now, the Jiannu Tartars have already mobilized troops from the joint camp, and the entrance to the camp has been sealed off!"

"Ugh!"

"The light is dim, and the details are hard to see clearly!"

"But the fighting in the camp has reached this point, I'm afraid it's already the last gasp of the enemy!"

"If this mess is caused by the governor leading his troops, then there should be follow-up troops to support us by now!"

"How can we not rescue an isolated army that is trapped in the camp?!" Peizhong explained slowly.

"Uh"

"General, are you saying that the soldiers charging into the Tartar camp are not our brothers?!" Hongcai heard this and followed up.

"call--"

Hearing this, Peizhong breathed a sigh of relief again.

"It's hard to find out the truth!"

"Although there are many firearms in the enemy camp, the noise of shouting and killing is very loud!"

"But look at this damn weather. The rain is getting lighter, but the morning fog is coming again!"

"I'm afraid there's some trick going on!"

"If the Jiannu barbarians are playing tricks and trying to trick you and me into leaving the city, we can surround and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"Then Dezhou City is in danger!" said an experienced and prudent man.

"Yes, yes."

"If this is really our own team, we can do this on a whim."

"General, we are seeing this lonesome enemy, if we don't rescue them, wouldn't it be unreasonable?!"

"When the war is over, how are you going to report to General Xiao?" Hongcai mentioned another possibility.

"Alas" Peizhong still shook his head.

"Hongcai, it's not that I don't want to save you, but right now in Dezhou City, there are only a thousand or so soldiers who can fight!"

"Even if we take them all out of the city, the enemy is strong and their numbers are several times greater than ours. I'm afraid it will be useless even if we go!"

"But let me get back to the point!"

"Our mission in this battle is to stay in Texas for ten days!"

"Unless the warlord comes in person, there will be no other way!"

"Otherwise, even if the king of heaven comes, we must protect Texas first!"

"This is a death warrant!"

"So, no matter who is robbing the camp or the enemy's cunning tactics!"

"We can't easily move our troops out of the city!"

"Huh——" Peizhong sighed again, but in fact he was also conflicted in his heart!
"Let's stay constant in the face of ever-changing situations!"

"Look at the sky in the east!"

"It's already the Yin hour!"

"It will be dawn soon!"

"By then, everything will be clear!"
