Chapter 151 It's Burning, It's Burning(2/3)
"It is better to send a messenger quickly, or directly lead the army to catch up, and attack the Han army from front to back with Qiyan Jinhan, directly defeating the Han army."
With a beggarly face, he rode his horse for a few steps, waved his hand, and ignored his son:
"All officers and men, follow me to camp!!"
He took the lead and rushed to the Han army camp.
The Donghu generals had no choice but to rush forward.
However, the journey was unexpectedly smooth.
Even a group of people, led by Qiyan Daxian, easily entered the Han army camp.
Even though there were some fortresses and traps arranged, there was not a single Han soldier guarding them.
"It's really an empty camp?!"
I saw that the Han army camp was full of donkeys and not even a single person.
There is a dummy riding on the donkey, and there is a flag on the dummy.
The donkey walks back and forth, creating the illusion of people coming and going and flags waving.
"To attack the east and attack the west, it must be a plan to attack the east and attack the west!!"
The beggar-faced Xiaoxian raised his eyes to look at the north and shouted anxiously:
"The Han army must have supported Kanghai County and attacked Qiyan Jinhan's troops as I speculated!!"
After Qiyan Daxian confirmed that it was an empty camp, he became even calmer, stretched out his hand to press it down, and asked:
"After the Han army set up camp, did they have any contact with the general guarding Xuwen City?"
Qiyan Xiaoxian was startled, and became even more anxious:
"The Xuwen County defenders have not been contacted!"
"This is enough to show that Xuwen County is not the main place where the Han army is stationed, it is just a cover for the attack!"
"The Han army must be on its way to Kanghai County at this time!"
Only then did Qiyan Daxian slowly nod his head, acknowledging his son's statement.
Although he was always uneasy in his heart.
However, after thinking about it, this abnormal behavior of the Han army was nothing more than a pretense to attack the east and the west.
I really can't find a more reasonable explanation.
And it does work.
If the Han army had not specially come to set up empty camps near Xuwen, he would have led a large army to forcibly break through Xuwen County by now.
"Good means."
Qiyan Xiaoxian didn’t know what his father was feeling at this time, so he urged:
"Father, give the order to march in the army!"
Qiyan Daxian was a little hesitant. He didn't know how many days the Han army had left and whether they would be able to catch up.
Suddenly I saw the Han army flag on the dummy, and I thought:
"No, the order given to me by King Khan is to attack Xuwen County."
"Since we already know that the Han army has left, isn't now the best opportunity to attack the city?!"
"Hurry up and have the soldiers bring their weapons and equipment and bring them all to the Han army's camp."
Qiyan Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized:
"Father wants to pretend to be a Han army?"
This is a good idea.
Donghu Daying is closer to Xuwen County City.
Although there is an earth wall to cover it, as the main target of the Donghu army along this route, they have never relaxed their surveillance of Xuwen County.
It is certain that the Han army had no contact with the defenders of Xuwen County.
Even if a messenger is sent into the city in a gondola at night, he will surely be discovered by the vulture shooter specially arranged by Qi Yan.
After all, it is also important to cut off the connection between the defenders and reinforcements.
This is one of the reasons why Liu Ke found that there were no sentries in Donghu camp when he visited the camp before.
The beggar-faced generals posted sentries around Xuwen County's city.
As for the general of Xuwen County, looking from the city, he could only see reinforcements coming from the Han army at most.
I don’t know what the Han army will do next.
The Han army left an empty camp and deceived the Donghu people as well as their own people in Xuwen County.
"Keep your wits about you. My father is indeed a veteran on the battlefield!"
The beggar-faced Xiaoxian could not help but admire.
My little bit of wisdom is of no use in front of my father.
It is difficult for the Han army to pretend to be Donghu people, but there are many Han people among the Donghu soldiers.
It would be much simpler to let these Han people who surrendered to the army pretend to be Han army soldiers.
In the face of his son's praise, Qiyan remained silent. In fact, he also had some selfish motives.
Aren’t you useless?!
Qiyan Jinhan has made great achievements in Kanghai County, but he is frightened by an empty camp and does not dare to attack the city. If word of this spreads, how will everyone in the clan view him?
The Han army went to support Kanghai County. Anyway, he wanted to attack Xuwen County and make military exploits, which would also give his son a share of the profits.
With military exploits to protect one's body, no matter how bad things happen, one can still stay safe in the future internal fighting among the eight tribes.
Soon, the Donghu soldiers turned into small groups and entered the Han army camp in batches.
This is also to avoid being discovered by the Xuwen County defenders.
The entire Han army camp suddenly felt a sense of murderous killing.
It must be said that the Donghu soldiers who captured Gaozhou this time were all warriors.
Except for the fact that the Han Dynasty has been too lazy in recent years and has neglected fighting, almost all of them are well-trained soldiers.
Everyone was marching slowly and silently, carefully arranging supplies.
The beggar-faced figure stood at the main entrance of the camp, holding a broadsword and carrying a long bow.
Behind him were eight thousand elite soldiers.
"You and I will attack Xuwen County together. No matter the casualties, we must kill the Xuwen County defenders to the point of fear!"
"Let them have to risk sending people out of the city to ask for help!"
Qiyan Daxian's plan was very good.
Not only did the dove occupy the magpie's nest, but after the Han army left, he occupied the Han army's camp and disguised himself as a Han army soldier.
Additional troops and horses were also sent to attack the city and force the defenders of Xuwen County to ask for help.
It is equivalent to Sun Wukong transforming into the Bull Demon King and forcing Princess Iron Fan to call her husband.
Once the defenders of Xuwen County took the risk to come to the Han army camp to ask for help, they fell completely into the plan of begging for beauty.
At this time, even if the soldiers' acting skills were poor and their chicken feet were exposed, the Xuwen County defenders would subconsciously ignore them due to the emergency military situation, making it difficult to detect anything unusual.
When Donghu soldiers pretending to be Han troops entered the city, Xuwen County was within easy reach.
Just before departure.
Suddenly a fire broke out and thick smoke rose in the camp.
"It's gone! It's gone!!"
The fire spread rapidly, and the wooden barracks in the camp and the surrounding military tents were swallowed up one after another.
For a moment, the fire burst into the sky.
The panicked Donghu soldiers were running around, shouting loudly.
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly!"
The soldiers hurriedly got water from everywhere, doused the flames, and dug earth to cover them.
They all tried their best to rescue important supplies and kept pulling flammable items out of the barracks.
Qi Yan Daxian, who was about to attack Xuwen County, had to turn back and hurriedly asked the soldiers to return to camp to help put out the fire.
After burning for a while, the fire was extinguished, but because the camp had just been moved, many supplies had not been sorted out.
A lot was lost in the chaos of the fire.
Qiyan Daxian frowned, with a bit of anger in his eyes, and called the general:
"what happened?"
"The camp is so good, why did it suddenly become flooded?"
He has quite a few generals, and they are all consumables anyway.
The general had just come down from the fire scene. His face was dark and he didn't even bother to wipe it. He was out of breath and said:
"There were too many supplies and they were too miscellaneous. During the transportation, the soldiers took the oil lamps and put them together."
"With what?"
To be continued...
