Sweep the World

Chapter 497: : Burning company

Another new night has come. The Jin army camp, which has experienced a big defeat during the day, is not a decayed silence, but the camp is full of songs and songs.

Ballads are folk songs south of the Yangtze River. They are sung in a long tone in Wu Nong's soft language. Most of them are love songs and the like.

The overlord Chu Jun, who was once ambushed on all sides, also sang in the night. All kinds of songs have only one central meaning. In addition to missing their hometown, they are missing their parents, wives and children.

"The morale of the army is completely gone."

Xie Shi did not send anyone to stop singing. The soldiers singing those songs would further shake morale, but if they were stopped, it would very likely evolve into mutiny. The problems encountered by Xiang Ji, the king of the Western Chu, also fell into his hands. He didn't like the Overlord of Western Chu to drank his sorrows, and there was no Meiji playing Farewell, the Concubine. Only Sun Chuo, Xie Shang and a group of generals with the same gloomy faces stayed in the army's account in a dull manner.

The first battle during the day did not restore the shaken morale of the army. On the contrary, the morale dropped at a faster rate because of the failure. The 20,000 shogunate soldiers who fought in the battle only fled back to 6,000 or 7,000, and the Fenwu and Fenwei troops who attacked behind. The government lost more than 4,000 people, and the situation reported by the rest of the front is also heavy.

It has only been two days for the Jin army to cross the Huai Shui River and arrive at the North Bank. The number of troops that have been damaged has exceeded 30,000, and the remaining 50,000 are less than three or four thousand wounded.

Not all of the troops that were damaged by the Jin army died. Including Liu Jian, Xie Wan, Wang Qian and a group of generals, there should be about 20,000 captured. It is difficult to guess what the situation of the captured generals was. Those captured Jin sergeants were supervised by the Han army and driven to the vicinity of the Jin military camp to sing, which echoed the singing in the Jin military camp.

Regarding the allusion of "being embarrassed on all sides", all Jin army generals who have read books are familiar with the intention of the Han army to drive the captured Jin army soldiers to sing. Although Xie Shi, including Xie Shi, it is clear, there is no good countermeasure, it can only be Watching the army's morale continue to disintegrate.

"The Han army...tonight will definitely be a night attack." Sun Chuo was still trying to be a literati with the army and said: "Maybe it can be used to save morale."

Xie Shang nodded and said: "Set a trap to wipe out naturally to boost the morale of the soldiers."

Xie Shi naturally agreed, cheered up and walked to the sand table, ordered a few positions where the Han army was most likely to attack, and said, "Brother Cong will take the command."

In fact, the Jin army still has very few troops to fight resolutely. If you gather together, you can only gather three or four thousand people. What is strange is that most of these people fled south from the Central Plains. If you understand it, you will be clear. He was basically born in a powerful family in the Central Plains, with which the Han army can be said to have a deep hatred.

The Han army swept through the Central Plains, and the force of cleansing and extermination was uncountable. Those tycoons who escaped from the Qing Dynasty of the Han army depend on their geographic location. Those who flee to the north flee to Shijie and Zhao State, and those who flee to the south flee to the side of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The young imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty forced the young men who fled south to join the army. Originally, they wanted to concentrate the young men who fled south to form a Beifu army, and then select aristocratic family members to serve as officers. Those young men were scattered and assigned to various military offices.

Those who fled to the rule of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty naturally hated the Han army, and they worked extremely hard when fighting with the Han army, but they did not necessarily get rewarded for their hard work. That was the political structure of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The iron rule that has been decided is that it is better to have a good tire if you work hard.

Xie Shi gathered the people together, and he publicly promised that this war was an opportunity to determine their destiny. Not to mention that meritorious service would be soaring, but that each family would accept the meritorious, so that the meritorious could be sheltered by the family or the family. Under its door.

If you understand the political structure of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and hear that you will be sheltered by clans or noble families, it is far more credible than hearing that the court will reward high-ranking officials with generous pay, and those who had decided to fight to the death of those who fled south, have The new hope is naturally a refreshing.

The next step is Xie Shang’s coordination, clearing out the original garrison in several areas where the Han army might come to attack at night, collecting firewood and other things that can fuel the fire, and then getting some fire oil to make the one that is motivated to fight more strongly. The soldiers moved in and waited for the Han army to actually attack the camp.

"what to do?"

"There is no possibility to report..."

On the surface, Zhao Qian was one of many people who fled to the south. In fact, he was a commander of the Han army. He mixed into the south fled crowd and was under the rule of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was also used as a soldier. The person who spoke with him was also a member of the Han army, and the two met by chance. Their mission is very complicated. They can be called spies in general. I don't know how many have the same mission.

Naturally, there will be a lot of actions at the national level, sending people into a certain team and going to the hostile forces to lurch. Some lurkers are carrying sabotage tasks, and there will inevitably be lurkers carrying quests in hostility. Power development. The lurkers sent by the Han country were not only aimed at the small courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. For example, Shijie Zhao Kingdom and Murong Yan Kingdom were the main infiltration targets. There were also arrangements for the Di Clan, Tuoba Daiguo, and Zhang Clan Liangguo.

"There are a lot of flammable materials in the camp that can contribute to the fire!" Zhang Li frowned and said, "Once you rush in, you really can't get out."

It is said that Xie Shang has a big heart, and he is basically making arrangements with the determination to make the night attack on the Han army back and forth. The determination is so big that he is even willing to bear the risk that the fire may spread to the rest of the camp. All is only because of a victory against Jin The military is really important.

Zhao Qian and Zhang Li couldn't continue talking. They were able to talk just now because the rest of the team was transferred away, so how can they talk again when they come back.

When Xie Shang made arrangements, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Han army, it was not to make the camp area empty. The campfire that should be lit in the camp must be lit, and the patrol team cannot be reduced. It is the soldiers who should be surrounded by the campfire. I have not forgotten that even some camps that can hide must have more soldiers hidden.

The Jin army was ready to wait for the Han army to attack at night. They waited and waited. The singing in the camp was singing over and over again, but when it was approaching Yin, there was no movement at all.

Standing on the arrow tower, Xie Shang was working hard to observe, but as time passed, his brows became more frowning.

Night raids are particular about it, and they usually happen after midnight, especially in Yinshi. After all, three to five in the middle of the night are the easiest time to get sleepy.

"The wind... has grown stronger." The cloak behind Xie Shang was waving with the wind, and the flag on the arrow tower had been blown by the wind to make a hunting sound. He squinted his eyes to look into the distance, where the grass and branches were swaying constantly, and the bonfires set up by the Han army further afield were blown by the wind and the fire kept swaying: "Southeast wind!"

The original wind direction was northwest wind, and the sudden change in wind direction was related to the climate. If there is a southeast wind in the south, it is usually a prelude to rain, and the air will become humid with the rain.

The southeast wind is bad news and good news for the Jin army. The bad news is that once such a wind is set on fire, the wind will spread the fire to the southeast, so the fire cannot be set easily. The good news is that the southeast wind will bring rainy weather. When it is rainy, the army will basically hide from the rain instead of fighting in the rain. In that case, the Han army will lose the opportunity to take advantage of the low morale of the Jin army to attack.

Above the wilderness, the grass is really constantly swaying, and the branches and leaves of some trees that have not been felled are also constantly swaying. The sound of the wind is accompanied by the sound of various plants rubbing.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the singing has stopped, the soldiers outside the Jin army camp, they look at the wilderness more and more frequently, and they can see the suspiciousness in the soldiers' eyes, like those constantly swaying plants. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a soldier of the Han sergeant who is constantly approaching.

Xie Shang himself was a little suspicious. He noticed that the singing of the barracks stopped. He walked to the edge and looked down. He found that the number of guards standing underneath had doubled. One after another was making the highest alert posture. You can imagine the camp. What kind of mood the soldier should be.

There was a stern shout, I don't know where it came from, Xie Shi, who was in the Great Account of the Chinese Army, stood up abruptly when he heard it.

"Try to let the camp have enough light!" Xie Shi was in his armor and weapons, and quickly walked out of the military tent to look around, and ordered the generals who followed him: "You must go everywhere and restrain the soldiers. "

The stern shouts have been sent out from more than one place, and every one is full of panic and panic, and then the soldiers from that place continue to shout and run around.

Zhong Hui, who was ordered to lead the army to hide outside the Jin army camp, actually annoyed the grass blades that were constantly shaking and scratching his face, and he could faintly feel hot and itchy on his face.

Xu Zheng really arranged for the troops to prepare for a night attack, but he gave them a very flexible space to lead the generals. Of course, the things that cannot be done are hidden and unspoken. If you have a chance, you can't let it go.

The soldiers of the Han army who were preparing to attack at night, they used the dense grass to approach two or three miles away from the Jin army camp in a crawling posture, lying quietly in the grass.

After the wind suddenly became stronger, the temperature that was originally low in autumn nights dropped a bit. In fact, you will feel a trace of coolness when you lie in the grass. If you lie in the grass all night, the cool breeze keeps blowing. There will be dew, and the strong body will feel the bones and hair sour the next day, and the poorer physical fitness will definitely cause the cold. So, ambush is really not something anyone can do.

There were signs of howling in the Jin army camp, which was noticed by the sudden screams of the Han soldiers who were ambushing in the grass. They were refreshed after hearing the movement of the Jin army camp, and the soldiers would subconsciously look around. The officer will look for the figure of his superior.

A stern cry can always cause a riot somewhere in the Jin army camp, and then the entire Jin army camp seemed to be shrouded in panic. Zhong Hui stood up decisively and yelled: "All soldiers, shout with me, kill !"

Suddenly, a large number of Han sergeants stood up in the grass. They let go of their throats and shouted and "killed," but their feet showed no signs of moving forward.

The sudden scream of killing in the wilderness made the panicked Jin army more fearful. It can be found that the scream of the Jin army camp has begun to spread inward from the edge of the camp. Even Xie Shi has arranged several measures urgently, whether it is execution. Random runners, or restrained by military officers, actually have limited effects after the panic spreads.

Xie Shang, who led the daring fighters to ambush, had already given up ambush and mobilized his troops to the Chinese Army. He was hit by the insurgents all the way and killed him directly. It was tantamount to killing a **** path to reach the Chinese Army.

The situation of Xie Shi’s Chinese army is better than other positions. After all, the shogunate’s pro-army are Xie’s private soldiers. Although they have just gone through a big defeat, the establishment has not dissipated, and it will not be where they are. Like the edge of a barracks, there will be too much room for suspicion.

"Capital Governor, where is the Governor?" Xie Shang pushed a group of Xie's guards away, saw Xie Shi walked over immediately, and said: "The fear has spread to the entire army, and the soldiers who see any disturbances think it is the Han army, and the chaos has already Unable to stop."

Because of Xie Shang's words, all plants and trees can be regarded as an emergence, that is, it is not the same as the background that should have appeared in history.

In fact, Xie Shi has been rewarded. The Han army has sounded the drums of war. A large number of Han soldiers raised their torches and left the camp. The night battle on the left and right wings had broken out. The troops caught in the camp were unable to resist effectively, and soon the left and right wings. It's time to fall.

"Capital Governor, things can't be done." Xie Shang looked calm, and said with a very persuasive expression: "Isn't you afraid of not having firewood to stay in the green hills, or retreat to the South Bank first?"

The wind continues to howl~www.wuxiamtl.com~ All kinds of noisy sounds are gathered together and then swept by the wind, it sounds like a thousand ghosts are howling.

The expression on Xie Shi's face was cloudy and uncertain. He put himself in the situation and thought that the Han army had no reason to give up the perfect opportunity for the Jin army to have a howling. The Jin army has fallen into chaos. It is basically impossible to carry out effective resistance. The war has really developed to an irretrievable point. Is it necessary to stay and fight with the whole army, or to take as many troops as possible to evacuate? A difficult choice was made.

It is true that the Han army will not let go of this perfect opportunity. After Xu Zheng found that the Jin army camp screamed, he took some time to mobilize, and the cavalry was the first to be dispatched. The cavalry and the ambushes that were ambushing for a night attack launched a coordinated attack. The moment they charged, the Jinjun camp in front of them was a masterpiece of fire. It was the flammable material prepared by Xie Shang that was ignited in the chaos. There are quite a lot of flammable materials, and a gust of wind will spread quickly.

The burning fire blocked the offensive route of the Han army, and no matter how many Han troops arrived, they could only stand in situ and stare in despair.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the fire is sweeping from the north to the southeast. I don’t know how many soldiers of the Jin army have fallen into the fire. Those who are burned to death are not counted. They are still screaming and screaming. All have...
