Hearing the sound of the drum, I was shocked.
Wu Shaoyi ordered his men to get ready and move all the horse-repelling stakes to the entrance of the camp to prepare for the attack. Elder Liang led his disciples to set up formations. This kind of military formations was very effective in resisting large-scale attacks, such as arrow rain and fire attacks.
However, they had just deployed the second formation when the rapid sound of horse hooves could be heard outside Xinhuang Town.
These people ran in the dark without lighting torches and rushed straight towards here. They obviously had bad intentions.
Wu Shaoyi gave the order with a livid face, and the archers in the camp immediately fired a wave of arrows.
To strike first is to be stronger.
He suffered a big loss at the hands of Hong Chenglue last night, losing his camp, food, and humiliation. Now Hong Chenglue actually picked him for a second sneak attack while he was in the camp. What is unbearable and unbearable!
This time we have to settle old and new grudges together!
…
He Chunhua was so anxious that the team of more than a thousand people tried their best to rush back. On the way, several horses even stumbled and broke their legs.
This is an official road, although it has not been repaired for several years.
Just after turning the intersection, a loud arrow shot out from the hilltop directly above, and a huge red firework exploded in the air.
There is someone on the top of the mountain!
He Lingchuan was stunned, but He Chunhua turned a blind eye and only urged everyone to move on.
This place is about one mile away from Xinhuang Town, and is the only way to enter and exit the town from the west. It is obvious that Hong Chenglue specially placed sentries on this hilltop to capture the actions of officers and soldiers.
People like He Lingchuan who reacted immediately felt nervous, because this meant that Hong Chenglue's team had arrived in Xinhuang!
The enemy was still one step ahead.
When he approached Xinhuang Town, although there were fierce fires ahead, He Lingchuan felt slightly relieved after hearing waves of shouts.
There were sounds of fighting and cursing, indicating that the camp had not been completely captured.
It seems that the camp can still be saved.
Sure enough, He Chunhua led his army into Xinhuang Town. The fire in the military camp was not extinguished, but Hong Chenglue's team was no longer there - they retreated east after seeing the fireworks signal from the hilltop in the west.
Wu Shaoyi and Elder Liang led the remaining troops to pursue the poor bandits.
Seeing He Chunhua return, the officers and soldiers of the grain transport team cheered.
He Lingchuan glanced around and found that the camp was in chaos. After the attack on the camp last night, the grain trucks were scattered widely, but at this time there were still dozens of them burning, and the fire had not been extinguished.
There are traces of battles everywhere, and you can encounter one or two corpses of men and horses after walking for more than ten steps.
He Chunhua detached a team of men to help put out the fire and grab food, and he led his army to chase east to meet Wu Shaoyi.
There was a huge disparity in the number of people on both sides, so there shouldn't be any suspense. He Lingchuan didn't follow, but stayed in the camp to help.
