Chapter 5795: Attack on the camp
The front camp is about fifty miles from Pingjiang County. Even if the people here are of higher quality, fifty miles here are equivalent to fifty kilometers, and normal infantry will take ten hours to travel. Lin Zhaoying urged the army early in the morning and arrived here in eight hours was already very fast.
At this moment, Lin Haoming immediately asked someone to change his enemy's clothes. In addition to leaving behind the horse Fengxing's men and guarding the surrendered soldiers, the remaining 20,000 troops rushed straight to the camps in Pingjiang County.
The subsequent army will not arrive at noon tomorrow, but it will be too late to set off at noon tomorrow. Lin Haoming naturally would not miss such an opportunity.
Then in the dark night, the army continued to march rapidly. Although the winter night was long, it was still ten miles away from Pingjiang County City at dawn.
At this time, Lin Haoming gave the army a rest for an hour and then moved forward. After all, it was already dawn and it was meaningless.
At the same time, Zhou Guangyi and Che Ying also took the initiative to say that they went to the camp to commit fraud, and Lin Zhaoying only brought some of his direct troops over there, and the rest of the camp was not controlled.
Lin Haoming originally planned to do this, and it was just his wish that the two of them would take the initiative to fight. He also said that as long as they could make great contributions, the Marquis of Wei would not only not care about the previous matters, but would also be granted titles when the rebellion of the pseudo-pinion prince was quelled in the future.
Lin Haoming also found out after contacting the two of them that Zhou Guangyi was upright, but he was indeed a rare general on the battlefield. Che Ying was more like a strategist. The two of them cooperated with each other, which was really amazing. Zhou Yuan'an's ability to become a famous coach before was probably related to his ability to employ people.
In fact, Lin Zhaoying and Zhou Hong had already escaped. After escaping, they immediately ordered the camp to be strictly guarded and sent orders to let the generals of each camp come over.
The two of them took their original subordinates and went straight to the camp where they belonged to them.
Although there were some rumors about Zhou Yuan'an, they were not completely announced. Therefore, as the marshal's nephew and son-in-law, there was no possibility of not opening the door. Even the commander who came to pass the order to step up the guard thought that something big happened, so the marshal ordered the two generals to come back and obey the order.
After the two of them came in, they immediately gathered their own troops and immediately divided their troops to go to the gates of several camps.
At the same time, Lin Zhaoying, who was waiting for the general to come, suddenly heard someone coming from below, and Zhou Guangyi and Che Ying were also back. He was shocked, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and then ran out and found that someone had set off a cannon.
The sky-storming cannon was used as a command in the army. Sure enough, before he could arrive at the gate of the camp, he saw the enemy army rushing over last night.
Originally, he summoned the generals to assemble, but the generals had not arrived yet, and 20,000 people from his own lineage had not assembled. What's the use of being open when the gate was opened?
There are 300,000 troops, of which 200,000 are among the camps in front of each of them, and there are still 100,000 people in the headquarters. Of course, 30,000 were gone before, but now there are only 70,000 troops left. If 70,000 or 20,000, you will win, especially the 70,000 people are 5,000 heavy cavalry among these 70,000 people, but now, the armor is not on the upper hand, so what's the battle?
The more dangerous Lin Zhaoying was, the more decisive he was. At this moment, he knew that the camp was over, so he immediately said: "Zhou Yuan'an's rebellion has been killed by me. Now his nephew and son-in-law are coming with the enemy. Generals, the village gate is now being captured by the other party, so we have no choice but to enter the city first."
The generals knew something, but seeing the reality in front of them, especially the one who was rushing towards the enemy in the distance was indeed Zhou Guangyi, which left them with no choice for a while.
Zhou Guangyi wanted to kill Lin Zhaoying, but Che Ying knew that it was not the time now, so Che Ying kept staring at Zhou Guangyi so that he wouldn't be able to rush out.
Lin Zhaoying fled again with his men. The army rushed into the barracks, and there was a chaotic situation again. Countless soldiers had not yet understood what was going on, so they could only flee in all directions.
Shan Tao was in charge of the city at this moment, and suddenly heard someone's news and was shocked. When he arrived at the top of the city, he saw Lin Zhaoying and some people coming towards him, shouting below to open the city gate.
Seeing this, Shan Tao also smiled bitterly. If it weren't for blocking the door, he would have sent his own troops...
"Sir Shan, open the door quickly!" Shan Tao was still thinking, and heard someone shouting below.
"Open the door!" Shan Tao knew that although there would be risks when opening the door, if it didn't open the door, there might be no more people going out of the city to rescue him. Next, relying solely on the city alone could not stop the enemy's siege. At present, the enemy is just attacking the camp, but the next step is to attack here. If there are not enough troops, how can we do it? So we can only put these people in, after all, there is still enough food and grass.
Just after the gate opened, heavy cavalry rushed towards this side in the distance. Seeing this scene, Shan Tao was a little lucky. If he sent someone out, he would probably be torn apart by this heavy cavalry halfway. However, when he saw a cavalry rushing over from behind, Lin Zhaoying's troops were panicked, and the city gate suddenly became crowded, and it was even more difficult for everyone to squeeze together.
"Don't be afraid, the heavy cavalry dare not rush into the city." Lin Zhaoying had already entered the city. At this time, he quickly climbed up to the city and shouted at the people behind him.
But his shouting was useless. The soldiers did not marches in the whole team, but fled here. In addition, not all the people inside were Lin Zhaoying, so many people squeezed in. As someone fell, the city gate became even more chaotic.
"Close the city gate, put down the sling, and prepare the archer." At this time, Shan Tao gave the order directly.
"Yes, close the city gate and put down the sling." Lin Zhaoying also agreed.
It was obviously impossible for the three thousand Iron Cavalry to attack, and even stopped near the city wall, and then slowly retreated between the city and the military camp to prevent anyone from coming out of the city.
At this time, the military camp had been completely swept away, and countless soldiers fled in scattered, many of them coming towards the city, but when they saw the situation on the city, they ran away elsewhere.
The army of 300,000 was defeated in a crushing defeat. I don’t know how many people were scattered everywhere. I’m afraid that in the end there would be no one hundred thousand, or even less.
Seeing this miserable defeat, Shan Tao began to think silently in his heart, what would happen to follow this momentum? Especially on the prince's side, Su Lang died and Zhou Yuan'an died. The most important thing is that Zhao Wufeng died. I am afraid that the news will shock the Yue Kingdom.
