Two hours later, the fire in the Mengyin River camp was barely extinguished.
The Khitans counted the casualties, and a total of more than 2,000 people died in this sudden night attack.
But this is not the most important thing.
That was used to supply the front line, enough for the 200,000 troops to eat food for three days, and it was burned out in just one fire.
A Shinu, who replaced Yelu Yan and Zhou Bian as the new guard of the Mengyin River camp, sat in front of the granary that had been burned to ruins with a look of despair.
He had already foresaw his ending, but he didn't know if he could choose his way to die.
Behind me, footsteps sounded.
"A Shinu, what are you doing? My order is to make you attack immediately and capture those Tang people! Why don't you go to mobilize troops?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on A Shinu's pale and bloodless face. He turned his head stiffly, looked at the man behind him with a shabby sheepskin robe, and asked:
"Ashin High Priest Chongguang, can I ask, when the Tang army attacked, you were obviously here, and you had three thousand elite soldiers, why did you stop moving?"
Yes, at this moment, the high priest of the Witch God Sect who was standing in front of Ashinu, the new guard general of Mengyin River, was five days ago, who had already followed the Khitan wolf master Yelu Hailan, and Ashina Chongguang!
He shouldn't have appeared here at first. According to time, he should have already started to prepare for the complete witch god in front of the two armies, with Yelu Zong and Abaoji.
However, while Pei Min led two thousand elite cavalry of Chengyang Army to the north to harass the enemy's back, another high priest of the Witch God Cult, lurking at the Baiwenxichuan Yang Army's garrison, passed the news back. Yelu Hailan immediately ordered to send him Ashina Chongguang to lead the army north.
However, Hanya Muhe did not mention that the chief general of the Tang army this time was Pei Min himself!
Ashin Chongguang rushed back here the day before Pei Min and others arrived at the Mengyin River Camp. He knew that the purpose of the Tang army this time was to burn its food and grass and cut off its food channels, so they would definitely attack the Mengyin River Camp honestly.
His plan is to wait for the rabbit to get into the trap, and then close the door and beat the dog.
When the shouts of killing sounded at the gate, Ashina Chongguang knew that his plan had worked and everything was carried out in an orderly manner - first he was defeated, and allowed the Tang army to attack the hinterland of the Mengyin River camp, and then surrounded and annihilated it.
He waited proudly for the prey to run to his mouth, but unexpectedly, what he waited for was a huge fire from the granary behind.
Ashina Chongguang completely forgot that he sent heavy troops to guard the most important granary. He borrowed Ashinu's hand and slumped all the troops of the Mengyin River camp on the left and right sides of the camp, resulting in complete emptiness in the rear.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Yanqiu attacked the back door of the Mengyin River Camp with only a mere 500 people and set fire to the rations of the 200,000 army for three days.
When Ashina Chongguang woke up, everything was too late. He ran out like crazy, hoping to chop the invading Tang army generals into meat paste to vent his anger.
Then, he saw Pei Min falling from the sky with a sword, stirring three wolf slaves into pieces in one move.
At that time, Ashi Na Chongguang had already awakened. The chief general of the Tang army led the troops this time was the Tang Sword Saint!
He hid in the dark and dared not show up.
Ashina Chongguang knew very well that he was no match for Pei Min at all, and once he went out, he would be dead.
Fortunately, Pei Min did not notice him. Only then was Ashina Chongguang able to hide in the dark, see and hear everything clearly.
After Pei Min and others left with Ye Hu, Asuna Chongguang dared to show up and ordered the fire to be put out.
A Shinu was naturally full of righteous indignation. He didn't understand why Ashi Na Chongguang could raise his arms and shout, and with the defenders of the Mengyin River camp, he could completely wipe out the invading Tang army in one fell swoop. Why didn't he take action?

Ashin Chongguang himself knew that even if Pei Min was invincible, he was only powerful and could not stop the surging Khitan soldiers. As long as he sacrificed his life and could not stop the situation.
But the high priest of the Witch God Cult chose to protect himself.
Ashina Chongguang regards life more than anything else. It doesn’t matter whether Pei Min is caught or not, whether the food or grass is burned or not, and even the punishment of the big wolf master Yelu Hailan is even more important. As long as he lives by himself, it’s enough.
As long as Ye Hu can recover everything, everything can be saved.
But it was so difficult to recover Ye Hu. He snatched people from Pei Min's hands. Asina Chongguang didn't dare to take this risk by himself, so he had to let Ashinu come forward.
But A Shinu is not a fool either. He knew that he could not escape death, and it was all his fault for listening to Ashina Chongguang's words.
"High Priest Ashina, you want to pursue people, please go by yourself." Ashinu said coldly, "I'm going to apologize to the Lord of the Wolf."
"you--"
Ashina Chongguang didn't expect that a small Ashinu would dare to disobey his orders. After being surprised, Ashina Chongguang glanced at Ashina, turned around and left here.
He didn't want to argue with A Shinu. Now, it is most important to find another person to stand out.
As soon as I walked out, I immediately visited the Malaysian newspaper:
"High priest, our scout found that a small group of Tang army cavalry crossed our blockade and was moving northward in the direction of thirty miles northwest of the camp."
Asano Chongguang couldn't help but squint: "Tang army headed north..."
"Is it--"
A thought continued to arise in Asuna's heart and could no longer fall.
"Ye Hu wants to return to the Uighurs?"
"This makes sense. Once Ye Huhui Hui and Hui Hui seize power, once he succeeds, the Khitan will immediately be attacked from both sides. Pei Min is the same as the one who escorted him... it will not be Pei Min."
Asanu Chongguang laughed proudly: "Come here, dispatch a thousand elite soldiers and follow me north. The remaining people went south to search for Pei Min's army. At the same time, Feishu Dalang Lord asked her to make a decision."
...
Grassland hinterland.
The sky was already dark and the cool breeze suddenly rose. Fu Kang and his group found a place to shelter and dismounted and rested.
"Prince Ye Hu, how far does it take to go to the Uighurs from here?"
"More than a thousand miles."
"So far... the horses can't hold on, and there is not enough food and drinking water."
Ye Hu said: "General Fu Kang doesn't have to worry about these issues. When we go to the Uighurs, there are Khitan tribes all the way, all of them are scattered tents, which do not constitute a threat, just plunder them all the way."
"It's good."
Fu Kang sighed deeply, looked up at the starry sky, and his face was filled with sorrow.
"It will take at least two months to go back and forth, which is too long..."
"General Fu is worried about military merit?" Ye Hu smiled slightly and said:
"It's not that Ye Hu boasted that if General Fu could send me back to the Uighurs safely and help me seize the throne, then you will be the biggest contributor of this war, no doubt! In the future, you will be promoted and awarded a title, and you will be the marquis and prime ministers, just around the corner!"
Fu Kang glanced at him lightly and said, "I don't care about military merits. Only those who want to be promoted and make money will mind. I'm worried, my five brothers..."
"The Khitan army is approaching, and they... I just hate that I cannot be with them and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy together!"
Ye Hu was also silent. He knew that the Tang army was in danger this time, and it depends on whether Pei Min could cut off the food route of the Khitan army. If Bai Wenxi could hold on and wait until reinforcements arrived, the shortage of food Khitan army would be defeated.
Yelu Hailan is fighting the word "fast". The victory or defeat of this battle should appear within ten days, and Fu Kang is destined to be rushed.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Not going back.
Perhaps, when he traveled back to the Tang Dynasty for a long distance, he was greeted by tens of thousands of tombs without names and tombstones.
Night fell completely and everyone rested for a night. At midnight, Fu Kang suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves coming from the distance.
The alertness of the soldiers who had been in the army for more than ten years made him awake instantly, and he quickly got up, and at the same time he woke Ye Hu up.
"Get on the horse and prepare for the battle!" Fu Kang shouted loudly.
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and everyone was sweating.
Finally, Fu Kang saw the person who came clearly, and he was the scout who was sent out to explore the enemy situation.
However, this scout had several deep knife wounds on his body, and the blood flowed continuously.
"General Fu..." The scout drove the horse to Fu Kang and said weakly:
"The Khitans... are chasing them, and the other brothers... are all dead..."
Fu Kang hurriedly helped him and asked, "How far are they from here? How many people are there in total?"
"More than a thousand people, less than ten miles away from here!"
After the scout said that, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his eyes closed, and he fell immediately.
Fu Kang gritted his teeth and said, "Go north and get rid of them!"
...
After a moment, the rumbling sound of horse hooves gathered into thunder and surged towards the original residence of Fu Kang and others.
Looking at the flames on the grass that had not yet been completely extinguished and the scout who died on the ground, Asana Chongguang sneered:
"They set up camp here. They haven't gone far yet. Chase them!"
...
At dawn, the thousand Khitan cavalry led by Asuna Chongguang finally caught up with Fu Kang.
"Shoot the arrow!" Asina Shigeguang said hoarsely, "No need to leave a living mouth, kill all of them, including Ye Hu!"
Fu Kang looked solemn: "Who is the person behind?"
Ye Hu glanced back and said, "I don't know either, but I shouldn't be from the Khitan army, maybe I'm from the Witch God Cult."
While speaking, the rain of arrows has arrived.
For a time, many people fell from the Tang army, and then they were trampled into meat paste by the Khitan cavalry that came up.
Ye Hu was also hit by an arrow on his shoulder, shaking, but fortunately he did not fall off the horse.
"If this continues, we will have to explain here sooner or later." Fu Kang made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said:
"Leave a hundred people here, and others will protect Prince Ye Hu to continue north!"
Immediately, the surviving Tang army was divided into two, half of which continued north with Fu Kangyehu, while the other half slowly stopped.
Asan Hung Kong looked at the Tang army parked in place, a little confused.
The next moment, these Tang troops launched a counterattack against the Khitan army, which was ten times more than them.
"Are they crazy?" Asuna Chongguang was extremely shocked. The actions of these Tang soldiers were tantamount to seeking death.
Soon, these hundred Tang soldiers were submerged in the torrent of the Khitan army.
But their sacrifice was not completely meaningless. Fu Kang had already left Ashina's heavy light apart.
However, Asuna Chongguang was not in a hurry. In this chase game, the hunters were always willing to give them a little faint and hope when they saw the busy prey.
...
About half an hour passed, and with the excellent horsepower, Fu Kang and the others had already left the journey of Asina Chongguang three miles.
But at this time, they were already in a state of terror and were unable to fight again.
Fu Kang slowly tied the reins of the horse, and Ye Hu stopped seeing this.
"I can't escape, are you ready to die?" Ye Hu said hoarsely, "It seems that we are destined to die here."
"No." Fu Kang said in a deep voice, "The net can be broken, but you, a fish, cannot die!"
