Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1027 Is it an opportunity or a trap

The sound of horseshoes is particularly clear at night. The night sentry who is in charge of passing on the emergency military information hugs the neck of the horse that is already sweating profusely from running, and rushes non-stop to the camp of Bi Xiaowang Tuoba Guoluo .

  Behind the sentry post, a flag was tied obliquely. The flag was not cloth like the one used by the Han people, but was tied with oxtails. It fluttered unscrupulously in the night wind like a demon with teeth and claws.

Seeing this appearance, even the cavalry patrolling the camp would not stop him, but would follow aside and replace him, so they had to make way quickly, let alone other barbarians in the camp. The sentry summons that only appear when there is a particularly important military situation is naturally to report to Bi Xiaowang as soon as possible.

It happened to be the turn of Na Kelizhen to patrol the camp tonight. Seeing the urgent military sentry passing by the camp like the wind, many Xianbei people came out of their tents to check, and hurriedly led people to shout loudly along the way. He reprimanded those Xianbei people who were curious and stuck their heads back, so as not to cause disturbances in the camp at night.

Na Keli couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "I'm so dead, it just happened that I was in charge of patrolling the camp and passed on some ghost military information! It's been a few days, and the one who is stuck here is just suffering... the Han people are over there We Shiwei people don't dare to step forward, what the **** is this! Look at this, it's midnight, what urgent military affairs are there? Damn it, if you want to fight, you should be quicker, or if you don't fight, you can Just go back to Mobei, it won't delay the season of your own livestock, it's better than getting moldy here!"

  The scout naturally couldn't hear the complaints of Kerry who was far behind, but rushed towards Tuoba Guoluo's big tent like the wind. Bi Xiaowang's tent of the Chinese army is naturally stern and strict. The tall and strong Xianbei Xiaowang's personal guards are standing on duty everywhere. When they heard the sound of horseshoes, they looked up and were startled. Enter the account to report to Bi Xiaowang, while raising the torch, shining brightly in front of the big tent.

  The sentry came to the big tent under the light of the torch, turned over and dismounted, and when he landed, he staggered and fell to the ground. A personal guard of Bi Xiaowang stepped forward to help him up, and saw that the sentry didn't even bother to wipe off the dirt on his face, panting, and said incoherently: "The Han people over there moved, please Xiao Wang, I have an urgent military situation that needs to be reported to Xiao Wang!"

The guard who entered the big tent has already come out again, and said: "Xiao Wang has already got up, wait for a while... take this brother for a few steps, and the blood will return, otherwise the waist and legs will not be able to get off the ground for several days." ..."

The guard who was supporting the sentinel responded, and then walked slowly beside the sentinel. After a while, he couldn't help it, and asked curiously: "What's the matter, brother, what is the matter with the Han people?" What happened, such an emergency?"

Now the Han Dynasty still lacks secrecy about military affairs, not to mention the relatively loose alliance system of the Xianbei Hu people, so Bi Xiaowang's personal guards asked at will, and the sentry also There is no concept of secrecy, although the breath is more balanced, but because of the walking, the muscles of the waist and legs and the big tendons are pulled, and it is really painful. He grinned and said: "Hiss... the Han people, the Han people are retreating on a large scale...Sneaky, a lot of people retreated overnight..."

  In the big tent, Tuoba Guoluo has already got up.

In the past few days, the arrangement has been made, and the Han army is close at hand, and there has been no news from the troops of the Xianbei Royal Court. Is there anyone who can discuss it? I can only spend my time thinking alone, and I can’t even sleep. An Wen, before his personal guards came in, he had already heard the sound of horseshoes and woke up from his light sleep.

   Most of the people who followed Bi Xiaowang were people gathered from various tribes. For the people in these tribes, it is no problem to fight in battle, but he is the only one who has to think about it and plan as a whole, and there is no one who even talks about it a little bit.

   "Come in!" Inside the big tent, Tuoba Guoluo spoke.

  The guards hurried in with the sentry.

When the scout saw Tuoba Guoluo, he immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Qi Xiao Wang, I waited for the scout to bypass the Han Chinese scouts to intercept...and found that the Han infantry actually started to evacuate the camp on a large scale. Back south!"

  Tuoba Guoluo had just fallen asleep, and was forced to get up again. His mind was still a little drowsy, but when he heard this, he immediately stood up, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me in detail!"

   "Yes!" The sentry kowtowed and said, "According to Xiao Wang's order, we bypassed the interception of the Han scouts far away, and arrived around the Han camp..."

It turned out that after Tuoba Guoluo felt that Fei Qian was procrastinating, he immediately sent out a lot of scouts, trying to understand why this happened, but he was always intercepted by Han scouts and passed in the front direction No, in desperation, they had to send people far away from the scouts intercepting the Han people like a huge fan. In the end, they did not expect that the cover-up move really brought news that surprised Tuoba Guoluo...

"...Do you think it's true? Didn't the Han people find out?" Although Tuoba Guoluo knew in his heart that these scouts would definitely not lie, what they said must be what they saw with their own eyes, but after all, the matter was of great importance, so he couldn't help but still asked a question.

   Sensei also knew that things should be cautious, so he patted his chest and said repeatedly that he and his friends were serious, and there was absolutely no problem...

Tuoba Guoluo asked some more details, including what he saw when the scout sentry arrived, and then when the Han army finally evacuated, whether the Han army found it, whether there was any reaction, etc., they all asked carefully, and finally Nodding his head, he waved his hand to let the exhausted scout go down to rest first.

  Although Sentinel did not have any problems, it does not mean that Tuoba Guoluo would have no problems in his mind. Sentry went down to rest, but Tuoba Guoluo didn't have any idea of ​​resting at all, and countless thoughts were colliding non-stop in his mind.

  The Han people withdrew their troops?

   Is it my own opportunity or the strategy of the Han people?

   Calculating the time, King Budugen's royal court warriors have almost arrived. Is it because of this?

  Some time ago, there was a riot among the Han people here in Yinshan. Could it be related?

   So now, what should we do?

  ………………

  In the south of Yinshan Mountain, the sky gradually brightened.

Fei Qian rode his horse, but stood on a high place with Xun Chen and Zhao Yun. Behind them, some infantry were digging the soil behind this small hill under the cover of the slope, while in front of them were running back and forth. The scouts of the Han army are spreading a huge fan ahead, bringing back the latest news from time to time.

The Yellow River was not very yellow in this era, so it was only called a big river, and the snow melted from the mountains in the northern part of the Yinshan Mountains also flowed into this big river. It is shallower, while the north-south longitudinal water flow is deeper, roughly cutting the Yinshan Plain into a shape like several "Tian" characters superimposed.

On the other side of this hillside, there is an unnamed river. This river is also seasonal. It is full of water in spring and summer, and dries up in autumn and winter. There are also some sandbars in the river on weekdays. After that, the water potential also rose, and there was basically no place to wade in vain.

  Since the strategy had been set before, Fei Qian immediately moved with the whole army, and even lit more torches at night to make a lot of movements, so that Xianbei's scouts could detect...

  Xun Chen behind him is explaining some matters that need special attention with Zhao Yun and others, explaining the overall plan in more detail.

  If the army wants to engage in battle, it must first choose a place for the battle. Although this place is not an unusually dangerous place, it is the most suitable place.

   To live in the world, it is most necessary to compare one's heart to another's heart, and it is also necessary to lead troops in battle.

  If it is a terrain that is absolutely beneficial to one's own side, as long as the opposite side is not an idiot, how can they not be prepared?

Therefore, if the Xianbei people feel that it is too dangerous, then there is a high possibility that the Xianbei people will directly detour, just like a few days ago when they discovered that Xianbei scouts had detoured, anyway, the Yinshan Plain is large enough, and the speed of the cavalry is not high enough. Slow, a day's detour is not a big problem at all, but once the Xianbei people detour, doesn't their original arrangement mean that it was in vain?

Now here, although there is a river on one side, it is difficult to pass, but it also avoids the risk of being attacked by the other side. In addition, there are not many things that block the view except for one or two small highlands around. The trees are very sparse and can't block any line of sight, so for both parties, it can basically be said that they can see everything at a glance. Naturally, relatively speaking, no matter who it is, it will be more fair.

  So, in a place like this, the Xianbei people are more likely to choose to fight.

  Morning mist rolled, everyone's face was covered with dew.

  Feiqian's troops and horses flickered in the morning mist, and the neighing sound of war horses came out of the mist, which made this quiet Yinshan Mountain show a little vitality in the early morning. Under the high ground, the nameless river flowed southward, as if God had specially arranged such a battlefield, so that both the Han people and the Hu people could fight a battle here!

  Zhao Yun stood behind Fei Qian, and whispered to Xun Chen, "Xun Dongcao, let me do this matter of luring the enemy..."

Xun Chen said with a low laugh: "Zilong, don't underestimate me! You are much better than me in leading the army, but I can still escape on horseback. Besides, I pretend to be better than you." You're more like..."

  Throughout the ages, on the battlefield, there are actually old routines.

  The exposed flaws may be opportunities or traps. Of course, the reverse is also true. When the opponent seems to be moving in the direction he wants, opportunities and traps also coexist.

  The battle is imminent...

While Xun Chen and Zhao Yun were talking, the scouts in the distance suddenly heard a dense whistling sound, which was urgent and slightly shrill, and then the barbarian's bullhorn came faintly in the mist. Voice!

  Zhao Yun frowned slightly, took half a step forward, stood behind Fei Qian, looked into the hazy mist, and saw the looming figure of the Han army cavalry...

  Xun Chen also came up, stroked his beard, a little happy, but also said with some worry: "It seems that Xianbei is catching up, moving so fast!"

   The whistling sounds of both sides in the fog became more and more urgent, as if they were mobilizing something.

   Fei Qian was also taken aback by this sudden situation, Xianbei caught up?

  But the preparations on my side have not been done yet!

   No, counting the distance, the Xianbei army must not be so fast!

  Moreover, the Xianbei people have to guard against Xu Huang and Jia Xu from the Yinshan camp, and they rush out to drag their legs, so there must be some left in Yinshan, so only Xianbei's forwards come here!

   "Your Majesty, this is the Xianbei striker!" Xun Chen said, "Just call back first!"

   Fei Qian nodded immediately, and said, "So, let's drive the Xianbei striker back first! Zilong, I'm bothering you for a while!"

Too cowardly, but it seems too fake. Properly drive away, on the one hand, it means that there are a large number of Han troops here, and on the other hand, the unfinished arrangement of your own side will not be exposed to the eyes of Xianbei pioneer scouts under.

   Zhao Yun accepted the order generously, straightened his helmet, turned around and walked down the small high ground, then got on his horse and rushed forward with some people!

  The morning fog has lightened a little at this time. Standing on the small high ground, one can faintly see this group of Xianbei troops coming towards here in a loose formation of charging arrows in the distant mist. There is no doubt that these people are the more elite scout and sentry troops in the Xianbei army!

These Xianbei scouts are the eyes and tentacles of the Xianbei brigade, and they also deal with Feiqian's Han army scouts almost every day. Most of them are wearing leather armor, which has a certain degree of protection without being bulky. It is fierce and light. Although the manes of these people's war horses are not trimmed like the Han people's, they look long and messy, but they all look strong, so they can support the galloping and trekking back and forth.

On both sides of the saddles of these Xianbei scouts, there are longbows and quiveres hanging, and the sabers on their waists, which shows that they are veterans who are good at melee or long-distance combat. The eyes exposed below all reveal wolf-like eyes!

  In such an early morning, in such a hazy mist, the Han people and the Xianbei were the first to bump into each other, and it was still the scout troops who had fought many times and were so familiar.

Ordinary troops may still be waiting for the superior army monsters to issue orders, but for these scouts and scouts, making decisions before the battle has become an instinct. And a rain of arrows began...
