The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 506
With a plan in place, Kuerle immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for battle without any delay. Today, he was going to capture the reinforcement camp in one fell swoop and return to the grassland as soon as possible.

Horns sounded everywhere, tens of thousands of cavalry all came out of the camp, outside the camp.

The movement of the Donghu people immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the reinforcement camp.Looking at the murderous Donghu army, everyone did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the whole army to be alert.

The main generals of the three parties gathered on the viewing platform, their faces extremely solemn.Zhang Zhongliang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Donghu Daying, and was silent in thought.Lu Zhan looked solemn, carefully observing how the Donghu people lined up their troops.Yan Hong's face was terrified, his eyes fluttered, and he stood huddled aside.

After a long time, Zhang Zhongliang gave a slight click, and his eyes lit up immediately.

After the two looked at him puzzled, Zhang Zhongliang happily said to them: "You two, look, the Donghu camp is being dismantled at this time, and the Donghu people must be preparing to retreat."

"Retreat? Is this impossible?" Yan Hong doubted, "Now our army is short of food and grass. As long as the Donghu people persist for about half a month, our army will be defeated without a fight. They would be so stupid to choose to retreat at this time? "

"Haha, General Yan. Donghu people are naturally not that stupid, but at this time, they have to retreat if they don't retreat." Zhang Zhongliang stroked his long beard and laughed.

"Have to retreat?" Lu Zhan was slightly startled, thought for a while, and immediately said happily, "Mr. Zhang, you mean that there is a change in the rear of the Golden Wolf? Could it be Hengshan..."

"It must be so." Zhang Zhongliang looked at Lu Zhan appreciatively, and said with a smile, "In today's world, only the Hengshan Army can force the Donghu people to withdraw their troops and come back for rescue. There is a Hengshan army that won a big victory there, leaving the Donghu people empty in the rear, and had to draw troops back to help."

"Hmph, maybe that's for sure." Yan Hong said with disdain, "Hengshan is too busy to take care of himself in the Western Regions, how can he still have the energy to attack the grassland? In my opinion, this Donghu man may have plundered enough in Yanzhou. It's time to withdraw our troops and leave Yanzhou."

"It's impossible." Zhang Zhongliang shook his head in disbelief, "The Donghu people also know that our army is short of food and grass, and it only takes half a month to wipe out our army. If this is the case, why rush to retreat immediately?"

"Hehe, if we completely annihilate our army, it will inevitably suffer certain losses. Since the entire army can retreat, why bother to damage the troops for nothing?" Yan Hong sneered, "In the past few months, the Donghu people have swept up all the places in Yanzhou. Counties and counties have seized countless money and food, as well as a large number of people. This trip to the south can be regarded as a good harvest, if we don’t return at this time, when will we wait?”

"General Yan..." Zhang Zhongliang was about to refute, when he suddenly heard an uproar from the defenders on the camp wall, he couldn't help but looked towards Donghu's camp in doubt, only to see that in his camp, there was suddenly endless The people of Yanzhou were driven to the front of the battle staggeringly.His heart tightened suddenly, and he cried out, "Drive the people to attack the city?"

When Lu Zhan and Yan Hong heard the words, they were both shocked. It turned out that the Donghu people did not just retreat, but wanted to attack the camp.But why?If there is a change in the rear, we should withdraw our troops and return to the north as soon as possible; if we want to take down the big camp, we only need to wait another half a month to force the reinforcements to collapse without fighting.But why?
Zhang Zhongliang thought for a moment, staggered, and shouted sadly: "I have pity on the people of Yanzhou!"

"Mr. Zhang, what, what's going on here?" Lu Zhan quickly supported him and asked eagerly.

"Oh, Donghu is indeed preparing to retreat." Zhang Zhongliang sighed and said in pain, "But they are afraid that our army will echo with Hengshan and threaten the grassland. They want to defeat my 30 troops in one fell swoop through this battle, and then Withdraw to the north. In this way, when our strength is greatly damaged, the Donghu people can deal with the Hengshan army without any worries. However, in order to achieve this goal and defeat us in a short time, the Donghu people will not hesitate to coerce the people to attack our camp, rush Mess up our army's defense line. If our army cares about the people, the defense line will be lost. If we slaughter the people, the army's morale will be lost. This, what should we do?"

When the two heard this, they were both shocked.If this is the case, then the camp may not be able to hold on.

At this moment, Donghu's offensive horn suddenly sounded, and groups of cavalry rushed out, brandishing sabers and killing the people of Yanzhou.The civilians who had no combat effectiveness were killed by this charge, and many people fell down immediately. The bloody scene immediately caused tens of thousands of civilians to panic and run around.

At this time, the surrounding cavalry rushed in immediately, but those who fled to the left and right sides should not be killed.The cavalry rushed in from both sides, forcing the people to flee forward, heading straight for the reinforcement camp.

"What should we do? They are coming, they are rushing over." The defenders on the camp wall shouted at a loss.

"Brothers, the general has an order, but anyone who rushes up is an enemy and will be killed without mercy!"

"But they are not Donghu people, they are people from Yanzhou."

"So what? If we let them rush up, we will all die. If we die, they will become slaves of the Donghu people. Life is worse than death."

"But with so many people, we can't stop them!"

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it. If you don't want to die, then defend the camp!". . . .

The defenders were encouraging each other, and the people who were being driven rushed to the first ditch. As soon as the people in front stopped, they were immediately pushed by the people behind and fell into the ditch. The three-meter-long ditch was flattened by human bodies, and the hot people behind stepped on these bodies and crossed the first ditch.

"Shoot! Shoot! They're coming!" the defenders shouted in horror.

Soon, the archer immediately let go of the bowstring, and countless sharp arrows fell into the crowd like rain. The people at the front fell down one after another, but were immediately overwhelmed by the crowd behind.

However, the effect of bows and arrows was quite obvious. When the common people saw so many people shot and killed by the rain of arrows in front of them, they were frightened and fled to both sides crying.

But as soon as they turned a corner, Donghu people came to kill them, and their arrows shot precisely at the group of people who fled at the front.

The people had no choice but to return to the original direction and flee.Seeing the trenches being filled up one by one, the defenders panicked, shooting with bows and arrows, while shouting sharply: "If you don't want to die, dodge quickly, leave on both sides!"

But on such a noisy battlefield, these voices are really insignificant.Driven by the Donghu people, the people had no choice but to continue rushing towards the camp.

"There is no other way." Yan Hong's eyes were red, and he shouted in a deep voice, "We must use explosives to disperse the people, otherwise once they break through the camp, our entire army will be wiped out."

Zhang Zhongliang closed his eyes tightly, at this moment he also knew that he could no longer hesitate, "Yes!"

Yan Hong was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered, "Quick, use explosives to suppress them!"

Lu Zhan opened his mouth, wanting to stop him, but looked at Zhang Zhongliang who was blaming himself, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Boom boom boom!"

Violent explosions sounded in the crowd, and black smoke rose from the sky and filled the entire battlefield.Where have the common people seen such a thunder-like thing, they all thought it was a punishment from heaven, and they scattered in fright, no longer caring about the threat of the Donghu people, and ran desperately.

The Donghu cavalry immediately dispersed and spread around the camp. Once the people fled, they rushed forward and killed them with one knife.

Facing the thunderous explosives and the wolf-like Donghu people, the common people were in a dilemma, running back and forth helplessly on the battlefield.
