Now that even the Blood Killing Camp was defeated, Meng Fei realized that if he continued fighting like this, he would only increase casualties, so he hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

As the Qin army receded like a tide, Liu Rui also returned to the city.

After returning to the city, he also told the soldiers to immediately close the city gates.

……

According to the statistics of losses after the war, the Wei army lost [-] soldiers, and the Qin army also left more than [-] corpses in the city, which was a draw.

After the Qin army withdrew its troops, they retreated to camp ten miles away from Huaicheng, but did not surround the city to death.

After dinner, Chen Taishou once again convened the generals to discuss the next battle plan in the mansion.

At the meeting, Chen Taishou looked serious and asked worriedly: "The Qin army is besieging and not attacking. It is not the way to go on like this in the long run. Generals, do you have any strategies to retreat from the enemy?"

At this time, a general stood up and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, since the Qin army did not surround us, we can choose to retreat and leave the green hills. We are not afraid of running out of firewood. Please think twice."

His words immediately attracted the support of other generals present, and they all began to persuade Taishou Chen to retreat.

Seeing this, Liu Rui hurried forward and said: "Master Chen, absolutely! When the Qin army attacked the city during the day, they deliberately left one wall not to attack, but on the other three walls, they invested a lot of troops and spared no effort to attack. The last general thought that the purpose of the Qin army was to give us the illusion that there was still a way out, and let us give up our determination to fight them to the death! If we abandoned the city and escaped, the Qin army would definitely set up an ambush on the way to intercept and kill us. At that time, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it!"

1047: Night Raid

Chen Taishou heard these words, nodded deeply and said: "Liu Rui said very well, if you retreat at this time, you will definitely fall into the Qin army's trick."

At this time, another general surnamed Zhang stood up and said: "We can launch a night attack while the Qin army is not prepared!"

Liu Rui objected again: "As far as I know, the main general who led the troops this time is Meng Fei, who is under Bai Qi. It probably won't work for him."

Chen Taishou heard the words, nodded frequently, and the other generals below also talked about it.

But the general surnamed Zhang was not happy at this time, and shouted loudly: "If you are afraid of death, you can be a tortoise in the city, and I will bring [-] cavalry to rob the camp!"

After speaking, he didn't look back, and strode out of the prefect's mansion, no matter what other people called, he couldn't come back.

And Chen Taishou seemed to have nothing to do with this person, so he had to let him go.

After the meeting, Chen Taishou once again let Liu Rui flow down and discussed it separately.

Liu Rui was very strange about the behavior of the general surnamed Zhang just now, so he asked Chen Taishou: "Sir, that General Zhang..."

Chen Taishou also seemed to know what he was going to ask, so before Liu Rui could finish his question, he said, "Oh, don't mention it, this General Zhang is a son of a nobleman, and his troops are private troops brought by him, and he is not under my control at all. ."

"So it is, no wonder this person is so arrogant!" Liu Rui suddenly realized that he also understood the difficulties of Chen Taishou.

"Well, having said that..." Chen Taishou paused, and then said sadly: "But after all, he is fighting for my Wei, and if the two thousand cavalry were lost like this, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Hearing this, Liu Ruiwen quickly said: "Yes, what your lord is thinking is exactly what Liu Rui thinks. If General Zhang goes here, he will definitely fall for the enemy's tricks! If your lord can trust me, I am willing to go to meet him. Give me five hundred archers!"

"You, are you really sure?" Prefect Chen was a little undecided.

Liu Rui immediately cupped his hands and said, "Please don't worry, sir, if you are not sure, I will not dare to say this. Just give me another five hundred archers and promise to bring them back!"

"Okay, you go back and wait, and I'll arrange it for you!" Chen Taishou has no better way now, he can only trust Liu Rui.

……

In the middle of the night, General Zhang really assembled his team to rob the Qin army camp.

Liu Rui took a thousand Wei soldiers of his own, followed them immediately, and then left the city.

The dark moon and the wind killed the night, the dark clouds in the sky piled up in the night sky, and the cold air of early winter pierced the nose of everyone.

With every breath, white mist rushes out of his nostrils, and a thin layer of hoar frost accumulates on the ground.

General Zhang led two thousand light-armored light cavalry forward silently in the night, except for the occasional crisp sound of the horse's hooves, there was only the whistling of the bone-piercing night wind, no one spoke, and everyone was on their way in silence.

"How far is it from the Qin army camp?"

General Zhang restrained his horse and turned around to ask the Wei Jun scouts who were leading the way.

This is a naturally formed crossroad, and the sound of the trees in the mountains and forests shaking in the night wind is all around them. General Zhang couldn't tell the direction, so he had to ask the scouts.

The scout hurriedly replied: "General, after the mountain pass in front of you is the Qin army camp!"

The scout pointed to a slope not far away and said that a valley could be vaguely seen there, and the Qin army was stationed in the valley!

According to the information of the scouts, there are at least [-] Qin troops stationed in the valley. If the attack on this trip is successful, it will be enough to hurt the Qin army!

"Hahaha, okay! God helped me!"

General Zhang clenched the reins, and subconsciously clenched his long sword, the surging blood was boiling in his heart at this moment!

"Pass my order, the whole army is ready!"

General Zhang's face was serious, and he loudly ordered to all the light cavalry behind him. In such a quiet late night, there was a sudden sound of the scabbard of war knives!

When the surroundings returned to silence again, the cavalry's sharp swords exuded a dazzling cold light in this dark night, like a layer of phosphorescence that kept rippling on the water!

Those murderous eyes stared at the valley ahead like a hungry wolf!

"The first team attacked from the east Taniguchi! The second team attacked with me from the west Taniguchi!"

After issuing the order, General Zhang firmly raised his long knife high, pointed at the valley in the distance and shouted, "Generals, kill with me!"

Encouraged, the cavalrymen followed him to the valley one after another, only to hear the wind whistling past their ears, General Zhang was leaning on the horse's back, his curved back was closely attached to the undulating horse's back. together!

In this cold night fog, under his leadership, [-] Wei army light cavalry soldiers rushed towards the valley where the Qin army was stationed like a terrifying demon who haunted in the dark night!
