Chapter 063: Surprise Attack on the Enemy Camp
Chapter 063 Sneak Attack of the Enemy Camp
Three days later, the border camp.
When the army led by Xiao Li arrived here overnight, it was not General Xiao Junke who came out to greet her, but the military advisor Xu Lingxiao.
From a distance, Xu Junshi had long white hair and was tied high above his head with a wooden hairpin. A thin and energetic face revealed a hint of fatigue. His eyes, which should have been bright, seemed to be covered with blood at this time.
I saw him wearing a gray robe standing in the autumn wind beside the city gate, bowing to Xiao Li from afar and saying, "See the Marshal! Because the military affairs are busy, I am late to welcome him. Please forgive me."
It seems that the news from the capital that Xu Junshi had received was known about Xiao Li's command to support him.
Since the first time he saw Xu Junshi, Xiao Li felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but jump off the horse quickly and took two steps in front of Xu Junshi.
"The military advisor is exempt from gifts. You and I are our own family, and the battle situation is urgent, how could I care about these false gifts?"
After seeing it from both sides, Xiao Li still didn't see Xiao Junke's shadow, and couldn't help but ask: "Military advisor, where has my elder brother been? Why is he still missing yet?"
But when the military advisor heard this, he suddenly knelt at Xiao Li's feet with one foot: "Report to the marshal, general, he..."
Xiao Li was shocked: "Mr. Xu... Could it be that something happened to my elder brother?" Thinking of this, Xiao Li's face couldn't help but feel a little panicked: "Ah, Mr. Xu, what's wrong with my elder brother?"
When the military advisor heard that Xiao Li's tone was wrong, he quickly looked up. Seeing that Xiao Li's face changed drastically, he couldn't help but shake his head and deny it: "Marcel, don't worry, General, he should be fine. But he is not in this camp now."
After hearing this, Xiao Li's heart calmed down and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Junshi up.
However, next, her heart was filled with questions and couldn't help but ask: "I heard from the military advisor's words and said that the general was not in this army. So where did he go?"
Xu Lingxiao looked up at Xiao Li and saw that the generals stood behind her dust, and couldn't help but say, "The Marshal and all the generals have just arrived here. Why not go in with your subordinates first? What should I say before I can say anything?"
Xiao Li thought about it, so she nodded and agreed to him.
The group came to the central army's tent and settled down according to their military ranks.
Xiao Li looked around, but still did not see Xiao Junke. He couldn't help but ask again: "Master Xu, where did General Xu go?"
Seeing her asking again, Xu Junshi hurriedly walked up and replied: "Report to Marshal, before you arrived, General, personally led a thousand men and went north from the city gate, intending to go deep into the enemy's hinterland and sneak attack the enemy's camp."
"What?" Xiao Li was shocked when she heard this and suddenly stood up from her seat: "How could the general, the commander of the first army, do such a rash thing?"
But Xu Lingxiao said, "Marantor, don't be angry, please listen to your subordinates to tell you carefully."
"Let's talk!" Xiao Li shook her sleeves and sat down again in the position of the coach.
After listening to what Xu Junshi said, Xiao Li realized that it was really time for them to come at this time. Because these days, the confrontation between the two armies was in a white-hot stage.
Because the Jing army had a large number of troops, the Ling army had already begun to be outnumbered. Therefore, after discussing with Xu Junshi, Xiao Junke decided to lead a thousand elite troops in person, go deep into the enemy's abdomen, and sneak attack the Jing army camp.
But he didn't expect that not long after he left, the army behind had already reached the border of Lianchi. So in desperation, Xu Lingxiao had no choice but to greet Xiao Li alone.
Even though this was the case, Xiao Li couldn't help frowning after hearing this: "Sir Xu, I will ask you, how far is the Jingjun camp from here?"
Military commander Xu replied: "Fifty miles north of the city."
Xiao Li nodded: "Then how many people do they have? Who is the coach?"
Xu Junshi said: "Return to the Marshal, the 400,000 troops of the Jing army have surrounded my border city. The head coach of the Jing Kingdom, Prince Kadar, is even more brave. The soldiers of our border city have suffered several secret losses in his hands."
Xiao Li couldn't help frowning tightly after hearing this: "So that's it. No wonder my brother wanted to take such a dangerous move. It seems that it must be that the troops under Kadal's army were too strong, and my border town had only 200,000 troops, so I'm afraid it's far from their opponent."
"What the Marshal said is very true." After hearing this, Xu Junshi couldn't help but nodded at her: "For this period of time, the Jing Army has caused a lot of damage to my first company, relying on their many soldiers and widespread generals. The people of my border town have even left their hometowns by them. Countless people have already fled south."
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but remember what they saw along the way, and they nodded repeatedly: "The military advisor is right, the Tartars in the Mirror Kingdom are really hateful!"
As he said that, someone had already come up to ask for battle and said, "Marson, please send an order. The general is willing to lead a team of troops to pick up the general. Then we will come to cooperate inside and outside, and we must give the Tartars a little color."
Xiao Li looked up at General Bai Qiliang who asked for a fight. He couldn't help but feel grateful. He was about to agree, but Junshi Xu suddenly stopped him and said, "General, wait!"
"Oh?" After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at him: "What else do military officer Xu have?"
I heard Mr. Xu say, "Marson, generals, please listen to me."
Xiao Li hurriedly said, "Sir Xu, please speak."
Military Commander Xu raised his head, looked at everyone around, and said, "Marty, generals, if I said it well, you should have arrived here day and night, right?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Xu Junshi said again: "At this moment, I am watching the generals, all of whom are tired, so I don't think about the 100,000 soldiers. So I think that tonight, the marshal should still order the soldiers to rest for a night. By tomorrow, I am afraid that everyone will not have such a good rest opportunity.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, but they had to agree with Junshu Xu's statement. It is indeed not a good idea to face the elite troops of the Mirror Army with a tired journey.
So Xiao Li followed the advice of General Xu and sent orders to let the entire army enter the city and have a good rest.
Leaving Xiao Li's army, let's talk about General Xiao Junke.
Xiao Junke was originally the adopted son of the general, and Xiao Li's eldest brother.
General Xiao Chaogui got three sons and one daughter in his life. Ten years ago, he lost three sons, but only his young daughter Xiao Li. The general and his wife, who were once sad, later got Xiao Junke, a young general in the army. They had a similar spleen and stomach and accepted them as their adopted son.
Xiao Junke was originally an orphan who had no father or mother since childhood. Fortunately, he met a master and practiced martial arts with great strength. He was upright and knowledgeable. He was a standard rude man. After joining the army, he acted decisively and bravely, and even joined the general's spleen and stomach. Later, he was accepted as his adopted son by the general and his wife.
From then on, Xiao Li had one more brother.
From Xiao Li's memory, Xiao Li knew that her brother had been obedient and loving to her since childhood. The relationship between the two had long been better than that of their biological brothers and sisters.
Therefore, when Xiao Li heard something happened to Xiao Junke, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
So, although everyone went back to rest at this time, Xiao Li was worried no matter what. So she brought Qin Jian and found Xu Junshi's tent again.
"Uncle Xu" remembered that in the past, Xiao Li called Xu Junshi this in private. But at this moment, there were no outsiders in the tent, and Xiao Li was just asking about his brother, so she got up casually: "Can my elder brother do this trip work?"
Xu Junshi naturally couldn't say anything about this matter, so he had to remain silent.
In fact, Xiao Junke's trip was indeed very unhappy.
Since Xiao Junke brought a thousand elite cavalry out of the city, he drove straight in and it seemed very smooth.
When I arrived at the enemy camp in a blink of an eye, I saw that the fire was gone, and the army seemed to be resting.
After taking a break with his subordinates, Xiao Junke ordered the division of a thousand troops into four small teams, in different directions in the east, west, south, north, and north, and inside the enemy camp, he planned to join the central army, and then he would burn the camp tent.
On the dark moon and windy night, there is a silent iron cavalry above the desert.
Xiao Junke, with two hundred men, went smoothly to the center of the enemy camp on the left.
However, it was not until they entered the center of the tent that they suddenly realized that this time they were actually deceived by the Jingjun.
The huge military camp tent, although there are bonfires that are brightly destroyed from time to time, this place is an empty city.
However, when Xiao Junke reacted, it was too late.
But in an instant, the horn outside the camp was loud and clear. In a blink of an eye, the camp tent that was several miles apart was surrounded by a scattered stream.
Xiao Junke looked around and saw that his men and horses had gathered from four directions at the center of the camp. Looking at the formation of the mirror army, he probably planned to surround them and their men and horses here to collectively annihilate them.
Seeing that the team of people from the Jingjun Army was about to surround them, Deputy General Chang Tang hurriedly urged the horse to come: "General, what should we do now?"
Xiao Junke looked around and felt it was very difficult. But at the moment, he had to try his best to make a try.
"Notify brothers, gather together and break through quickly!"
When the deputy general got the order, he quickly turned around and conveyed the order backwards. However, Xiao Junke shouted again: "Tell everyone that even if they are killed in battle tonight, no one can embarrass me. And there is no coward who surrenders and becomes a prisoner with fear of death. Do you know?"
"The last one will receive orders!"
After Chang Tang took the order and left, Xiao Junke suddenly reached out and tore off the black Yexing suit on his body, revealing a dark red battle robe inside, covering his robe with purple and gold armor.
Chapter completed!
