Chapter 143 After Xiao Muqing finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong.
Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong were both shocked, it was not easy to sneak attack the camp of the barbarian army, if they didn't get it right, they would have no return.
Sending two corps commanders at once, Qiu Zhen also felt that something was wrong, and he said: "General Xiao is not thinking about it again?"
Xiao Muqing shook his head, and said: "We can't know the situation of the adults, now we can only rely on our own strength to retreat the enemy, the enemy is outnumbered, and it will last for a long time, the consumption is very large, and it is difficult to guarantee that Hengcheng will not lose, so we must fight quickly, if we want to retreat the enemy quickly, we can only go by cutting off their food and grass."
This sneak attack is very important, it must be a success, the first, second, and third of our five corps are the strongest, and among the three corps commanders, General Zhang and General Bai are the most calm, and they are calm in the face of trouble, so this matter can only be entrusted to the two generals, I hope that the two generals can disregard personal gains and losses at the critical juncture, and relieve the siege of Hengcheng."
While speaking, Xiao Muqing arched his hand and gave a deep salute to Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong both stepped forward, hurriedly supported Xiao Muqing, and said in a loud voice: "The general's words are serious, and his subordinates dare not be ashamed."
Xiao Muqing said it to such an extent that Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong had no room to refuse if they wanted to, so they could only accept the order head-on.
That night, the defenders of Hengcheng did not move, and when it was five watches in the morning of the next day, the south city gate was quietly opened, and more than a dozen vigorous black shadows burst out along the gap in the city gate.
It was close to dawn, the sky was at its darkest, and it was the time when people were most tired and unprepared.
At this time, the sneak attack was just right.
Before the wind army's brigade left the city, the dark arrow personnel led by Cheng Jin took the first step to solve the enemy camp's sentry post.
Dark cultivators do not have the spiritual martial arts skills of large-scale killing, and they are not suitable for melee in the chaotic army, but they are natural hunters, and they are good at stealth and surprise assassination.
Cheng Jin and the others took advantage of the cover of night to lurk silently outside the camp gate of the southern camp of the barbarian army.
The south gate of Hengcheng is not the direction of the main attack of the barbarian army, and its main force is not in the south camp, there are not many guards outside the camp, Cheng Jin and others did not take much effort to solve the barbarian army sentry posts one by one, even the barbarian soldiers on the lookouts on both sides of the camp gate were not spared, the members of the dark arrow flashed to the lookout with a shadow drift, quickly stabbed the sentry to death, and then tied its body to the pillar, looking at it from a distance, it was impossible to find that the sentry was dead, as if he was still standing guard on it.
After all was settled, the Darkarrow members quickly withdrew and spread the news to the city.
As soon as the members of the Dark Arrow returned, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong led 10,000 plain troops out of the city gate.
None of them rode horses, each dressed in black, covered with black armor, afraid of making a noise, and tied black cloth scarves around their mouths, these tens of thousands of soldiers did not carry extra bits and pieces, only fire oil, after leaving the city, they threw off their legs and rushed straight towards the southern camp of the barbarian army.
No one spoke, no one shouted to kill, only the rustling of armor and the wheezing of people along the way.
Since the outposts on the periphery of the southern camp of the barbarian army had been solved by the secret arrows first, Zhang and Bai made smooth progress and soon rushed to the gate of the camp.
The sturdy Feng army first climbed over the fence of the camp and opened the camp gate from the inside, and then, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong each waved their spears and ordered their soldiers to rush in.
The 10,000 plain army was as if it had fallen from the sky, the barbarian army was unaware of it, and there was no defense, and they were caught off guard, and many soldiers were still sleeping in the barracks when they were slashed and killed by the approaching plain army, and died in their sleep.
Xiao Muqing and Ai Jia's observation was correct, the southern camp of the Besa army was indeed the place where they hoarded grain and grass, charging towards the hinterland of the southern camp, and soon saw rows of warehouses, opened the tent door, and looked inside, all of them were stacked with neat grain.
The grain and grass are dry, the sticky fire is ignited, not to mention the addition of fire oil, this fire is ignited, and it cannot be controlled if you want to control it, the wind helps the fire, the fire borrows the power of the wind, the flames are scattered, and the wind spreads, and the rows of warehouses suddenly fall into the sea of fire, often looking at it, the fire is so fierce that it seems to burn half of the sky.
The fire broke out in the southern camp, and the entire barbarian army camp was also chaotic into a pot of porridge, and people shouted and neighed, and the shouts continued.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and even the Plains Army who set the fire was forced to retreat again and again.
Seeing the fire raging and the barbarians who ran out of the barracks crying and shouting, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong glanced at each other, and laughed on their backs in unison, I really didn't expect that things could go so smoothly, it seems that Xiao Muqing does have something extraordinary, and the adults really arranged him to be the lord of Hengcheng.
Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "The barbarian army is not enough, it is so vulnerable, I really want to rush to their hinterland again" Bai Yong hurriedly stopped and said, "Our task has been completed, we have to go back immediately to hand over the order, let's withdraw quickly."
"En," Zhang Zhou nodded.
He was just talking, they only brought 10,000 people, and it was okay to fight a sneak attack by the barbarians, and when they were really done gathering men, they wouldn't be able to bargain for anything.
Just when Zhang Zhou and Bai Yongzhi were complacent and wanted to lead the troops to retreat, they suddenly found that they could no longer withdraw.
I don't know where to drill out of the countless barbarian troops have blocked the gate of the southern camp, and what is even worse is that there is a rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind everyone, turning around and looking, Zhang and Bai's faces suddenly changed, and a cavalry rushed from behind, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and it was impossible to distinguish the number, those were all Besa's heavy armored cavalry.
"We've also been tricked," Zhang Zhou subconsciously exclaimed.
It stands to reason that the barbarian army must be exhausted after a whole day of siege, and they are a surprise attack, no matter how fast the barbarian army reacts, it is impossible to gather so many infantry and cavalry so quickly, and also block the gate of the camp, and come to the front and back to flank the attack, which is obviously the other party's arrangement, as if it has already calculated that the wind army will come to attack tonight.
Zhang Zhou really guessed wrong, the main general of the Besa army is not an immortal, how does he know where Hengcheng can observe where his grain and grass are hoarded, and when he will send troops to sneak attack, and if he really calculates, how can the grain and grass be burned by the wind army so easily The commander of the Besa army is also a general who is good at commanding troops, and he knows the importance of grain and grass, so he arranged heavy guards, not only tonight, but heavy troops have always been there, but the timing of the plain army's attack is too good, it is when the barbarian army is tired and neglects to take precautions, and is caught off guard, when the barbarian army is assembled, the plain army has begun to set fire to the grain, and there is no time to stop it.
At this time, there was a barbarian interception in front of it, and there was a pursuit of heavily armored cavalry in the back, and tens of thousands of plain troops were trapped in the barbarian camp, and the opponent's strength was still increasing.
Bai Yong was indeed calm and calm, but he was slightly stunned, and then shouted at the personnel on the left and right: "Rush to all the brothers and rush to the gate together" Following his orders, the Plains Army rushed to the Yuanmen like a tidal wave.
Now there are more than 3,000 barbarian soldiers gathered here in Yuanmen, and there are not many soldiers, but the combat effectiveness of the barbarians is too strong, and the plain army does not have any advantage in a head-to-head confrontation.
Soon the two sides came into contact with each other, soldier to soldier, general to general, and launched a life-and-death melee.
They are fighting, and the speed of the heavy armored cavalry behind is not slowing down, and they are getting closer and closer to the plain army, if they wait for this group of heavy armored cavalry to rush to the front again, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong, the ten thousand people, have to be explained in the barbarian army camp.
At this time, Zhang Zhou shot several times in a row, stabbed down several barbarians around him, and then ran quickly to Bai Yong's side, and said while gasping: "There are more and more enemies, and the cavalry behind is also coming, if you delay any longer, I am afraid that no one will be able to leave, you and my brother will not be able to leave, you will lead people to rush to kill Yuanmen, I will go back to block the cavalry of the barbarian army, and cover your evacuation."
"What about you" Bai Yong's heart trembled, and his brows tightened.
Zhang Zhou wanted to turn back to block the heavily armored cavalry at this time, which was tantamount to sending him to death.
Zhang Zhou was stunned, and then said loudly: "You don't have to worry about me, let's go first."
"No" Bai Yong and Zhang Zhou are both old men of the Plains Army, they have worked together for many years, and the relationship between them is also very deep.

He said, "You retreat first, and I'll stop the cavalry."
"Less wordy" Zhang Zhou was anxious, grabbed Bai Yong's shoulder, took him to his front, and said urgently: "Now is not the time to argue, if you can see the adult, tell the adult that I Zhang Zhou has not insulted the prestige of the Feng Army" After speaking, he used his arm to push Bai Yong away, and then shouted loudly: "The brothers of the First Corps obey the order, and they will all follow me to stop and kill the barbarian cavalry."
Ignoring Bai Yong, Zhang Zhou ordered his subordinates to retreat to the rear.
In ordinary times, Zhang Zhou is the most cautious and timid one, but now at a critical juncture, in the choice between life and death, he chose the latter, choosing to stay behind to cover the evacuation of his comrades, and the two-faced surnames of people are reflected in him.
Looking at the back of Zhang Zhou leading the crowd back, Bai Yong bit his lip tightly, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
He stomped his foot hard, roared, and charged at the brute at the gate.
It's not that he is timid and afraid of death, but now he can't fight anymore, Zhang Zhou used his surname to create a chance for him and his brothers to escape, if he didn't fight, not only wasted Zhang Zhou's hard work, but also took the surname of himself and his subordinates in vain.
Even if he couldn't bear it, even if his heart was like a knife, he could only grit his teeth and retreat.
Bai Yong led the crowd to break through, while Zhang Zhou led the 5,000 soldiers of the First Corps to meet Besa's heavily armored cavalry.
When the heavily armored cavalry galloped and charged, no matter what tactics were used, it did not work, and although the soldiers could hob on the ground, they had to be knocked and trampled to death by the horses before they could use it.
When the distance between the two sides was close enough, Zhang Zhou immediately ordered to take the shield.
Dozens of wind soldiers raised their shields at the front of the line, while the rest of the wind troops joined forces to withstand their shields, ready to receive the impact of the heavily armored cavalry
