The rise of the prince

Chapter 281 Evil Ghosts Rampant
The army was defeated like a mountain, and suddenly the entire huge city camp was full of people running around, the flames were chaotic, shouting and killing, many people in it couldn't figure out what was going on, they just listened to their colleagues crying and yelling, and fled everywhere , the worst premonition in my heart came to my mind, and I also ran away.
Being condescending, Yan Shen, Di Zhi, and Qi Jia, who were beside Li Xingzhou, were dumbfounded.

"My lord, let's go down too!" Yan Shen said excitedly, pulling out the saber from his waist.

Li Xingzhou was not in a hurry, he asked Di Zhi beside him: "You know the best about marching and formation, let's see where is the granary of this big camp."

Di Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the granary of the big camp may not be here. Usually, troops are arranged to set up camp. If there are a large number of people, they will separate the big camp from the granary and send troops to guard it alone.

Firstly, many soldiers in the big camp eat, drink, and disperse in one place, and every inch of land is precious, and there is no room to vacate, and it is easy to get out of water if there are too many people with mixed hands;

But I think the structure of the southwest corner of the rebel camp looks like a granary, but I'm not sure, maybe the rebels don't know much about the soldiers. "

Li Xingzhou nodded, and then stretched out his head to look carefully at the southwest corner of the camp. Sure enough, there were some large oval buildings, like granaries, and they were separated by special tall wooden fences, forming a field bigger than a football field. separate area.

Ansu Mansion used to have only a few thousand troops, and since Ding Yi is a businessman, even if he is capable, he may not be proficient in military affairs. He is always different from an officer of the Imperial Army like Di Zhi. possible.

"Everyone come with me and capture the southwest corner of the camp!" Li Xingzhou gave an order, and then rode Meixue down the mountain. Everyone rode their horses to follow, and a thousand sergeants from the Shenji Battalion also followed neatly.The soldiers of the Xiang army were deployed and dispersed to lead the people, and they had only these troops around them.

The big tent of the Chinese army is located in the southernmost part of the camp, three or four miles away from the front gate of the camp.

In the big tent, Ding Yi looked at a detailed map of Luzhou city defense, which he exchanged for food and money from the officers of Luzhou Xiangjun.

Standing next to him are Liu Ji, Zhong Li, and several temporary prime ministers of Xu Guo, historians, and officials from the Six Departments. People are just for show and have no real power.

The real power is in the hands of Ding Yi, and the Ding family is the real power holder.

Compared with his ineffective relatives and these titular members of Xu Guo, Ding Yi trusted the people he single-handedly promoted, even though Liu Ji didn't even have a name.

"Liu Ji, tell me which gate we should attack when we arrive in Luzhou City tomorrow." After watching for a long time, Ding Yi suddenly asked.

Liu Jigong cupped his hands: "My lord, I'm afraid that the east gate is easier to attack, and the south gate is the main gate, facing the avenue from Linyang. I'm afraid that Luzhou will take more precautions."

Ding Yi nodded and didn't say much.

At this time, Zhong Li, who was dressed as a literati, bowed gracefully and waved the paper fan in his hand. He is now the magistrate of Linyang County and the Tongzhi of Xu Guohu Department. He has achieved such achievements at a young age, which is enviable by others.

"I don't think this is necessary. I have tens of thousands of soldiers in Xu State, and the soldiers are strong and strong. There are no more than a few thousand troops in Luzhou City, so there is nothing to fear.

There is a saying in the art of war, so the law of using troops is to encircle it if it is ten, to attack it if it is five, to fight it when it is twice as large, to divide the enemy, to escape from it if it is small, and to evade it if it is small. The capture of the enemy is also.

Our army is ten times larger than that of Luzhou, so why do we need to use these tactics? Even if the army of Jingguo is defeated by our Xuguo, why should we be afraid of Luzhou? "

Liu Ji was a little anxious after hearing this, but still respectfully cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there are only thousands of Xiang troops in Luzhou City, but who can say that the people will not stick to it? Our army of Xu State now has tens of thousands of armored troops, but at first it was too late. There are only a few thousand armies, if we can't take it down with the momentum of thunder, and the people will fight against us, I don't know how many more troops will emerge."

"Heh, what are you afraid of mere thugs? What about them? They want weapons, do they have armor?" Zhong Li said disdainfully.

Immediately, he waved his sleeves, apparently very dissatisfied with Liu Ji's rebuttal. What he said was coherent and orderly, yet he dared to retort: ​​"This is an ancient art of war. Use it if it can be used. Things can be done best. Why do you have to think complicatedly?" , Talking like a god, asking for trouble. These are things that you, a lowly Orion, can understand!"

Liu Ji blushed at what he said, but he couldn't refute it. He was indeed an ordinary hunter before, and he never thought that one day he would have thousands of soldiers in his hands.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, everyone suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the north, even in the big tent, they could faintly hear it through the thick curtain.

Everyone stopped, and then walked out of the central army's big tent in confusion. This time, the voice was clearer, like thunder, and it was like firecrackers, but it was louder, resounding through the sky, and there was an echo.

"What's going on?" Ding Yi asked.

Liu Ji shook his head, and then said: "My lord, I will immediately send scouts to check."

After a while, a soldier rode a horse and ran to the north of the camp.

Everyone waited quietly, and the voice gradually became louder and louder, even accompanied by a faint cry of killing.
Ding Yi gradually felt that the situation was not good
He immediately turned back and entered the big tent, and picked up the accompanying knife hanging on the weapon rack.Seeing his action, the civil servants panicked, and Zhong Li didn't care about his fan, and quickly put it in his sleeves, stepped back in a panic, and stood behind the guards.

Ding Yi was the calmest, and the shouts of killing became louder and louder. He first called the guards, led the horses and carriages to protect several civil servants, and then left.

At this time, a disconcerted sergeant ran over from the north with disheveled hair.

And more and more, the shouts of killing gradually became louder.

Ding Yi ordered his soldiers to bring a few people over for questioning. They knelt on the ground crying, unable to speak clearly. They just cried and complained that there were evil spirits all over the mountain attacking the camp. They would scratch and bite anyone they saw. They were not afraid of death at all. They were already dead. Brother, the evil spirits are coming this way.

Ding Yi was confused, what a ghost!
The sky was getting dark, and it was impossible to see the situation in the north. The camp of the Chinese army was on a high ground. He hurriedly mounted his horse and moved forward, and Liu Ji followed him. fall into sight.

The dark figures all over the mountains and plains are rushing in like tides. In the afterglow of the setting sun, only the hideous and terrifying outlines can be vaguely seen, like a black ocean, running across the east and west, penetrating to the sky, endless, people who are better than them do not know How many!
Just like Shura hell, evil spirits are rampant.
What is it, where did it come from, his heart was cold.
Seeing the crying and shouting soldiers running to this side, the bloody and messy soldiers, some of them had their ears and noses bitten off, the scene was terrifying.

Ding Yi felt tight in his chest, dizzy, and was about to fall off his horse. Liu Ji hurriedly supported him, then turned around and ordered decisively: "Give me the general order, the whole army retreats, withdraw from the camp from the south gate, and retreat to Linyang City ,quick!"
