"Yes." Liu Changle, Song Meng, Hu Shi'an, and Xu Tianfeng replied at the same time. However, although the few people agreed readily, they did not leave to prepare the troops. Instead, they stood there and looked at Pei Xiaoer, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Is there anything else for you guys?" Pei Xiaoer saw that the people looked like this, and realized that they must have something else to look for him, and did not make things difficult for them. He asked directly.

Hu Shian took a step forward and said to Pei Xiaoer: "General, this night attack is extremely dangerous. You are in the entire army. If there is any mistake, the entire Pei family army will not be able to bear it. Otherwise, you should stay in the camp and let us go."

"Yes, yes! General, you should stay in the camp. Just burn the officers and soldiers' food and supplies," the rest of the people also echoed.

Pei Xiaoer was stunned. He didn't expect that what the few people were talking about was actually about, and then he realized it again. Thinking about it carefully, these people's worries are not without reason. Pei Xiaoer is no longer the nameless person who is treated as cannon fodder by a land tiger under Wenxi City.

He has now become a prince who is in a high position, holding tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, and hundreds of thousands of people. Once he has any accidents, especially now that he has no descendants, and no one in the Pei family's army can match him, then the entire Pei family army will face the risk of falling apart, and the fate of tens of thousands of people will change again.

After thinking for a while, Pei Xiaoer said relievedly: "Okay, as you said. Then, Song Meng will lead this trip. Remember not to be greedy for merit and fight. After burning down the food and grass of officers and soldiers, you can withdraw immediately."

"yes."

Zuo Liangyu returned to his big tent, and the more he thought about it, he became more angry. He reached out and swept the official documents on the table to the ground, cursing: "Old man, how dare I bully me like this. In the future, if I have the chance, I will kill him."

"General. Otherwise, let's just lead the troops away, why bother to be free here?" a general next to him comforted him.

"No. We are following the will of the court. How can we be dispatched to leave our posts without permission?" Zuo Liangyu regained his rationality and retorted.

It is still the fifth year of Chongzhen, and the remaining power accumulated by the court for more than 200 years is still there. At this time, it was a courage to lend Zuo Liangyu, and he dared not ignore the court's orders, but if it was another eight or nine years, the situation would be different.

"But I've seen Wang Ji'er's arrogant for a few days. The servants of the Fan family are definitely not the opponents of the bandits in the city. When the main force of the bandits in the city returns, it's probably Wang Ji'er's death day. Go and notify us and let us be more vigilant. Once we see that the situation is not good, we will withdraw first."

"yes"

The moonlight was dark tonight, and the officers and soldiers guarding the camp were chatting.

"Do you think we can win this time? Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"It's hard to say. You haven't seen the situation during the day. As soon as our people arrived under the city wall, they heard cannons on the city. The shells hit us directly. They plowed out bloody roads among our crowds. It's not a miserable thing. The shells were like Sun Wuzi's golden cudgel. They would die when they rubbed and injured when they touched. Who dared to get on? They all ran away directly and fled back."

"What you are talking about is just like you are watching from the side," the man said disdainfully.

"What I said is true, believe it or not."

"You said this adult is the same. If you can't defeat him, go to the court's military commander. I am just a farmer. If you ask me to fight the bandits in the city, I don't dare to do so."

"Shh, shut up. Just you dare to talk about adults, you are not afraid of being stabbed to adults and taking your life?"

During the chat, no one noticed that the ground was trembling slightly. Slowly, the trembling amplitude of the ground became larger and larger, and finally attracted the attention of the officers guarding the camp gate.

"Shut up, what's the sound?" The officer stopped everyone, leaned down on the ground, and listened to the vibrations coming from the ground.

The officer was obviously a veteran. Not long after, he immediately realized something. His face suddenly changed and he shouted: "It's a cavalry, a cavalry. I'll send an alarm. There will be a cavalry attacking at night."

But when he discovered it, it was already late. One thousand five hundred cavalrymen flashed out of the night and rushed towards the camp. Instantly, they broke through the defense at the gate of the camp and rushed into the camp.

When he entered the camp, Song Meng identified the direction a little and rushed towards the place where the food, grass and supplies were stored.

As Pei Xiaoer guessed, most of the soldiers in the camp were temporarily recruited, or the yamen runners who usually guarded the city gates. It is still okay for these people to bully the common people on weekdays, but they will catch them blindly when they encounter someone attacking the camp.

The cavalrymen rode their horses in the camp, as if they were entering a no-man's land. The officers and soldiers in the camp ran away in horror, and almost did not intercept them.

The cavalry of the Pei family army came to the grain pile. A knight turned over and dismounted, took out the fire bill he carried with him, and came to the grain pile, ignited the grain pile. At the beginning, the flame was very small, and it seemed that it could be extinguished at any time. However, at this time, the Pei family army was as if God had helped, and a gust of north wind blew. With the wind, the flame suddenly became bigger, and the greedy flames quickly swallowed the grain pile.

However, even so, Song Meng still felt that the burning was too slow, so he let a few people get off the horse, climb up the pile of grain, and scattered the original grain that was originally built into a pile. Then the flames became more prosperous, covering all the grain.

After repeated igniting all the dozen piles of grain piles piled up nearby. The surging fire illuminated the entire night sky. Seeing that the situation was almost done, Song Meng immediately called his cavalry, rushed away the intercepted officers and soldiers, and disappeared into the vast night.

Song Meng left, but the chaos among the officers and soldiers became even greater. Wang Ji was awakened by the sound outside in his sleep, and didn't know what happened, so he put on his clothes and walked out of the tent. He saw fires everywhere outside the tent, and the surging fire was clearly visible several miles away.

Wang Ji suddenly took a deep breath and shouted, "My military rations. Hurry up, go and put out the fire, hurry up."

Wang Ji, who reacted, hurriedly urged his personal soldiers around him to put out the fire. However, Wang Ji was still a scholar. He had never been to the battlefield or fought a war. He did not understand the marching and formation and set up camps. There was almost no fire prevention measures in his camp. In a hurry, the officers and soldiers could only watch the huge fire burned all their food and grass.

Wang Ji's face gradually turned pale with the fire, and his eyes gradually lost their color.

The chaos in the officers and soldiers camp continued until dawn. When the sky lit up, the fire gradually went out. However, the food that could have been maintained for the 50,000 troops to eat for more than ten days was now gone.

After Zuo Liangyu received the news last night, he immediately ordered the door to be closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit. He did not go out of the camp to rescue him. He was afraid that if he got caught by someone else's ambush, he would be wiped out. It was not until dawn that Zuo Liangyu led his personal soldiers to find Wang Ji.

Seeing the tragic situation of Wang Ji's camp, Zuo Liangyu was both happy and worried. What was happy was that Wang Ji, the old man, did not listen to what he said, was immediately punished by God; what was worried was that the food and grass in the camp were burned completely by the thieves, and now they might not even be able to evacuate. The enemy would definitely send troops to entangle them until their food and grass were completely cut off and the entire army had no food, and they would launch a large-scale attack. By then, they would be the real place where they died without burial.

Zuo Liangyu came to the camp and saw Wang Ji with a look of dismay. He said, "Sir, I hope to cheer up. It is already a critical moment. I hope I will make a decision as soon as possible. We can't delay it."

"Yes, what General Zuo said." Wang Ji seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and stepped forward to grab Zuo Liangyu's hand and said, "General Zuo, what trick do you have? Tell me quickly, I will agree."

Zuo Liangyu wanted to push him away now, and he had told him that if he missed a sneak attack, he would evacuate immediately. As a result, he just refused to listen. Finally, he was at this level of trouble. What could he do?
