Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 111 Night Battle
As night fell slowly, King Youxian of the Huns climbed up from a high slope.Looking at the looming camp ahead under the light of a few torches, I felt relieved.With a wave of his hand, a Hun general ran down the high slope, and then a huge cavalry phalanx turned into a torrent and rushed towards the camp.

There was a loud sound of warnings in the camp, and the sound of swords and soldiers clashing could be heard endlessly.The Hun Youxian King felt that he had succeeded, so he stopped watching, drew his sword, slapped his horse heavily, and rushed over with an army of 10,000+.

The sound of horseshoes resounded across the sky, and countless tents were trampled flat and opened under the impact of the horses.Piles of wood appeared, followed by countless torches appearing from the high slopes behind, and arrows with flames fell from the sky.

The flames turned the sky into daylight, and thick smoke followed.Countless Xiongnu soldiers were so smoked that they couldn't open their eyes, and the front army collided with the rear army and suddenly panicked.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu woke up immediately, and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Send the order and withdraw."

The sound of Mingjin resounded through the sky, and the soldiers of the Xiongnu retreated back under the guidance of the general as if they were listening to the sound of nature.

As the regular army of the Youxian Royal Court of the Huns, their ability to deal with emergencies is naturally stronger than that of the general army.In addition, the enemy did not take advantage of the chaos to send troops to pursue them, so the Xiongnu soldiers gradually calmed down after a while of panic, and retreated in an orderly manner.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu rode a war horse and withdrew in the same direction as the army was slowly coming and going. The more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.Why didn't the enemy attack indiscriminately?Is it because they are short of troops?Or the main force is sleeping soundly, and the front army only has a small amount of troops to warn them, trying to scare them off.

A trace of doubt gradually spread in my heart, gradually turning into doubts about myself.King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu stopped his horse, and the whole army stopped immediately.

All the generals looked at the Youxian King of the Huns with puzzled eyes, not knowing why they stopped suddenly.

"Why did the virtuous king stop marching?".

"Our army was caught in an ambush just now. Fortunately, it was discovered in time so there was no loss."

"Stop now, I'm afraid there will be some trouble when the enemy comes."

Hearing these inquiries, King Youxian of the Xiongnu became more and more determined about his doubts just now: "The enemy army only has [-] soldiers and horses, so why should I be afraid even if they chase after me? I suddenly stopped marching, just wondering why the enemy just now The army did not take advantage of the chaos to fight out."

"It should be because they are afraid of our army and have strong troops, so they didn't attack."A general explained that his tone became lower and lower, showing a lack of confidence.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu looked at the general and sneered: "This reason, if it is you, do you believe it?".

"The last general speaks indiscriminately, and I ask the virtuous king to forgive me."Hearing these words, the general shuddered in his heart, and quickly apologized.

The Youxian King of the Huns didn't bother with him, and gradually fell into deep thought: "The enemy army obviously has [-] troops, why don't they take this opportunity to attack."

"Perhaps the enemy's camp is empty, that's why this happens."Another general explained.

The idea of ​​luck came to mind.The Youxian King of the Xiongnu hurriedly drove away, but the more he drove away, the more this idea grew wildly: "I don't want to be reconciled to retreating in such a disheveled manner, so I sent an order to dispatch [-] soldiers and horses to attack the camp next time."

"Follow orders".A general bowed to accept the order, turned around and ran forward.

A long horn sounded, and three phalanxes of ten thousand cavalry rushed towards the camp.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu looked at the departing army, and he was still a little worried: "This king personally leads an army of [-] to follow, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are waiting for military orders here, ready to support at any time."

"Follow orders".Several generals bowed to take orders, and then [-] soldiers and horses began to repair on the spot.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu didn't waste any time, turned around and slapped his horse's back heavily, and rushed towards the camp with an army of [-].

There was a high slope behind the camp. Zhou Bo looked at the more than [-] soldiers descending from the high slope behind him, and asked Chen Ping next to him, "Is your method effective? In fact, I think it's good to kill it just now. It’s not good to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain.”

"There are too many enemy troops, even if they are already in chaos. But if our army does not fight well, it will be self-defeating. It is worth noting such an opportunity."Chen Ping explained to Zhou Bo.

Thinking of the chaotic state of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses just now, Zhou Bo felt a little reconciled: "Although the words are so, but...".

"listen".Faintly hearing the sound of horseshoes, Chen Ping hastily interrupted Zhou Bo's complaint.

Zhou Bo listened attentively, and a trace of surprise emerged in his heart: "They are here."

"After the enemy enters the camp, the troops must be dispatched quickly. It is best to give them a thunderous blow before the enemy has time to react. We must let those Huns not understand the specific situation of our army and make a misjudgment. Only our army can swallow this bait smoothly."Chen Ping reminded Zhou Bo that although this sentence has been said countless times, it is related to the success or failure of the strategy, so it can only be repeated again.

Zhou Bo nodded his head without saying a word, soldiers and horses naturally understand that most of the battles.In fact, it's just a heart battle after another.

The Xiongnu soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer, and their marching speed was getting faster and faster.Like a torrent, it slammed into the camp fiercely.The Xiongnu soldiers rushed from left to right.Almost the entire camp was razed to the ground, but no enemy soldiers were found.

At this moment, countless torches on the high slope behind lit up again, and a round of arrow rain slanted down in the night.Some generals reacted and quickly led the soldiers across the camp to attack several high slopes.

The Xiongnu soldiers braved the rain of arrows and finally rushed to the bottom of the high slope, only to find that at some point, the enemy's archers were replaced by rockets again.

A hint of ominous emotion spread, and countless rockets landed.It was only when they realized that they were stepping on thick dead branches, and the soldiers of the Huns hurriedly retreated, but it was too late.

The flames spread rapidly, and the feet turned into a sea of ​​flames.Countless Hun soldiers died in the sea of ​​fire, and the flames gradually became smaller.

A group of surviving soldiers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, at this moment the shocking shouts of killing came from behind Gao Po.

Countless Donghu servants flocked here like a tide, and the surviving Hun soldiers immediately fell into a pool of blood.

On a high slope opposite the camp, King Youxian of the Huns looked at the torch that looked like a long dragon and couldn't see the end.And the soldiers, howling before falling in a pool of blood, sighed heavily.

Lost, lost in my own doubts about myself.Let a defeat that should have been avoided happen in front of your eyes.

Looking at the night in front of him, the corners of his mouth moved slightly.Wanting to save but not daring to save, this is the most real thought in the heart of King Youxian of the Xiongnu at this time.

After all, under the curtain of night, it is unknown how many tactics the enemy army has deployed, rushing in recklessly can only cost their own soldiers and horses their lives.Thinking of this, he ordered to the surrounding generals: "Send the order to go down and return to the camp."

"Follow orders".The generals bowed to accept their orders, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

King Youxian slapped his horse and galloped towards his camp with the army.
