Su Ling floated forward all the way, with a sea of fire raging behind him and people shouting and neighing.
Su Ling's face remained calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses neighing several times, and even the sound of trampling. Su Ling slowly stopped, raised his nose and smelled, and a fishy smell hit his face.
Su Ling looked around carefully and saw a huge stable in front of him.
There were a lot of horses inside. Su Ling took a quick look and saw that there were about a hundred horses.
These should be Shen Jizhou's reserve war horses.
Su Ling originally planned to go all the way and burn down a few more of his camps along the way to create some chaos.
But now his mind changed.
Lin Bulang and the others were in the East Hou Camp, and the big stable here was close to the West Hou Camp.
If I put a fire here, hundreds of war horses would be frightened, which would be enough for Shen Jizhou to drink a pot!
As soon as he said it, Su Ling opened the package and checked carefully, including flint, fire sickle, kerosene, and all the things that could ignite the fire.
Su Ling smiled half-heartedly, picked up the kerosene and went straight to the stable.
When those war horses saw strangers coming, they all became more vigilant. Some of them kept stepping and neighing.
"Don't scream... No one will care if you break your throat..." Su Ling smiled playfully, talking to himself, and dumped all the kerosene he brought into the hay pile.
"Hey... Ma, Ma, I'll give you some snacks tonight!"
After Su Ling said this, he drew the flint and fire sickle twice and threw these things into the fodder.
The fodder was already sprinkled with kerosene, and with the strong wind tonight, the flames suddenly shot into the sky, and the entire stable was ablaze.
this
Su Ling, the thief who set the fire, hid far away and peeked at the stable.
But in the sea of flames, the war horses were frightened and howling. They raised their heads and raised their buttocks, desperately trying to break away from the ropes that tied the horses.
More than a hundred horses, like shuttles, neighed one after another, crossed the sail with four hooves, and with flames on their bodies, ran like a tide towards the east direction without their lives.
"Boom - boom -"
There was a loud noise, and the entire stable collapsed under the fire and the pull of the horses.
In an instant, smoke and dust stirred up, fueling the fire to dance wildly.
Su Ling hurriedly ran back. If he didn't run, his place would become a sea of fire.
As he was running, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "What a bold arsonist! There is no one in my camp who can deceive him!"
Su Ling was shocked. He looked up quickly, but he suddenly laughed. He cupped his hands and said to the person in front of him: "General Ban Yi, General Xuan Ba, you are fine. Su is right!"
But in front of him, he saw two generals wearing helmets and armor, each holding a long sword, with war horses at their crotches, looking majestic.
Zhang Chunyi seemed to be smiling but said in a deep voice: "Su Ling, you are really good at it!"
Su Ling laughed and said: "Lucky! Lucky! Su has already said what he said, tonight at the foot of Jiuzhang City, we agreed that as long as Su can upset the people in Shen Jizhou's camp, the two generals will help Su capture this place. Shen Jizhou's camp, serving the Prime Minister, I don't know if I can do it or not!"
But Zhang Chunyi and Zang Xuanba both jumped off their horses, walked a few steps, came to Su Ling, clasped their fists and said in unison: "A real man does what he says, Su Changshi's methods convinced us, so what he said before the battle is natural." Count!"
Su Ling quickly clasped his fists in return, laughed and said: "You two
The general's righteousness is a blessing to the common people in the world!"
Zang Xuanba then said: "Su Changshi, to be honest, in fact, your brothers have just arrived at the camp, and we have already discovered it. It was Brother Wu Yi who detained the patrolling team, and they all tried their best to withdraw. He killed most of the patrolling guards and sentries... so that Shen Jizhou would not be alarmed!"
"I see! Then Su Ling has to thank the two generals even more!" Su Ling looked grateful and bowed sternly towards the two of them.
Zhang Chuanyi waved his hand and said: "Since we are a family, there is no need to be polite. Brother Su, this is not the place to talk. Follow Xuanba and I back to the camp first, and then we can argue!"
Su Ling nodded, and the three of them turned and left.
............
Under the old Zhang City, about ten feet away from Shen Jizhou's camp, there is a thicket of weeds.
A group of cavalry and war horses are all wearing armor, holding coins in their mouths, and their hooves are wrapped in cloth.
In front of each war horse, there is a black-armored warrior with a long spear and black basalt armor. The spear stands erect, his eyes are firm and unmoving, and he is as motionless as a mountain.
Judging from the number of people, there were about a thousand people.
One of them held out a general with black gold armor and black gold helmet, and two huge black gold iron halberds slung across his back. The moonlight was shining coldly.
Needless to say, this general is none other than Huang Kuijia, the Commander-in-Chief of Han Tian Wei.
These more than a thousand people are all Xiao Yuanche's most elite cavalry - the Hantian Guards!
After a while, there was a faint noise from the left and right of the Heavenly Guards, and the weeds around the soldiers also moved slightly.
Soldiers had already come to report, and it turned out to be Zhang Shiyou and Xu Baiming who had arrived with their troops.
The three armies gathered together, with about 20,000 people.
After waiting for a while, Xu Baiming and Zhang Shiyou came side by side, and Huang Kuijia met them.
After passing by, he said: "Shiyou, Bai Ming, when are we going to do it... My Lao Huang's hands are itching!"
Zhang Shiyou smiled and said: "Old Huang, please be patient, there will be a battle soon! Before leaving, my lord and the sacrificial wine made it clear that we will take action again when Shen Jizhou's camp breaks out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier pointed to Shen Jizhou's camp not far away and said urgently: "Look, three generals, there is a fire in Shen Camp, and the flames are soaring into the sky!"
Huang Kuijia and the three generals all raised their heads, and at first glance, they saw a sea of fire surging in Shen Jizhou's camp. Except for the Chinese army's tent in the middle, there seemed to be no chaos. The east and west camps were burned into a sea of fire.
Zhang Shiyou suddenly shouted: "Soldiers! String your bows! Take out your swords! Follow me and kill!"
Huang Kuijia also roared, jumped on his horse, and shouted: "Hantian Guards! Fight to the death and get there first! Destroy all Xiaoxiao! Charge!"
"Kill--"! "Charge--!"
"Destroy the enemy camp! Capture the thief alive!"
"Destroy the enemy camp! Capture the thief alive!"
Suddenly, the battle raged in the sky, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, thousands of horses galloped, flags and flags fluttered, and the waves surged like waves, and the energy shook the mountains and rivers!
Life and death, why fear the blood of Yin? Let’s eat the enemy chieftain’s meat as a meal!
The more than a thousand cavalrymen of the Heavenly Guard came at the front like a black tide. Under the iron hooves, the mountains and rivers were frightened, and the earth shook.
Later, Zhang Shiyou and Xu Baiming's troops charged bravely without fear of death.
A raging torrent is rushing forward and cannot be stopped at all.
A charge had already reached the gate of Shen Jizhou's camp.
"Du-du-du-du--"
The shrill and urgent warning horns resounded across the sky one after another.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack... report quickly
Report to the lord!..."
In front of the soldiers on the observation tower in front of the camp gate, a torrent of tens of thousands of people appeared in an instant. Zhan was so frightened that he could not stand. He retreated repeatedly, grabbed the war horn and blew it desperately.
But as soon as they blew a few blows and shouted a few words, they were greeted by a hail of arrows that covered the sky.
"Swish swish——"
The rain of arrows passed by, and no one survived.
Perhaps the massacre was too bloody, and the bloodshed in the hearts of the Bohai soldiers in Shenying was also aroused.
The men and horses at the front, led by their respective captains, generals, and generals, all had their eyes cracked and gritted their teeth and roared.
"The camp must be closed at all costs! Don't let the enemy break through!"
"Come on! Stop them!"
In the rain of arrows, countless brave generals and soldiers who were not afraid of death roared and rushed to the camp gate desperately, raising their antlers and other defensive equipment that could withstand it, and moved forward desperately.
There were even more soldiers who desperately carried the heavy and solid camp gate, trying to close the city gate with all their strength.
But everything was in vain, what greeted them was a rain of arrows from the sky, thousands of arrows gathered in the heart.
One group fell down, and another group came up in an instant.
The Bohai soldiers seemed to be crazy and rushed forward desperately.
Zhang Shiyou and Xu Baiming, who were charging, looked at each other and were shocked by the Bohai soldiers' recklessness.
Although the results were minimal, this kind of resistance that was not afraid of death did have some effects.
The deer's antlers are gradually closing, and the camp gate is also gradually closing!
"Bohai soldiers, the thieves want our lives! Either you die or I die today, charge! Stop them!"
I don't know who shouted, countless Bohai soldiers were shocked, gritted their teeth and roared, regardless of the situation.
Resisting fiercely.
Seeing how the antlers were almost completed and the gate of the camp was almost closed.
"roar--!"
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the sky.
A black-coloured war horse rides on the wind and fire, rushing straight down!
Immediately comes the mysterious war god, with overwhelming murderous intent and a majestic look.
It was Huang Kuijia who was leading the charge.
But Huang Kuijia was seen rushing forward, rushing under the camp gate, taking a look at the camp gate that was gradually closing, and shouted: "It's in vain! It's in vain! Open it for me!"
Look again at Huang Kuijia flexing his power, raising his hands, and two large black-gold iron halberds, like roaring black-gold dragons, raised their heads and neighed, and smashed straight towards the camp gate.
"Boom——"
There was a loud noise, and a crack visible to the naked eye appeared on the camp door.
Although Huang Kuijia did not smash open the camp door, the shock caused the surrounding enemies to flip over and fall to the ground like fallen leaves.
“Open——”, “Boom——”
“Open——”, “Boom——”
It was deafening and the earth shook.
"Boom——!"
The camp gate was torn to pieces like a piece of paper by Huang Kuijia three times.
The camp gate collapsed, and the Heavenly Guards and soldiers were unable to stop them. They roared forward, broke through the camp gate, and rushed in like a flood.
There are mountains of spears and spears, the light of swords and shadows. People shout and horses neigh, and arrows rain.
A fierce battle broke out in front of the camp gate.
............
Chinese army tent.
Shen Jizhou suddenly woke up from his sleep, and heard countless chaotic roars and fighting sounds, as well as the trampling of horse hooves and the long silence.
When you lift your nose and smell it, you will find a strong smell of coke that hits your heart and lungs.
"This...what is going on! Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
Shen Jizhou shouted loudly while dressing.
When the curtain cage was raised, Guo Tu's expression changed.
Turning pale, he rolled and crawled and stumbled in.
"Guo Qing! What happened outside!"
Guo Tu looked panicked and shouted: "My lord! My lord! Something bad has happened. For some reason, there was a fire in the east camp and the west camp. The fire took advantage of the wind and burned it to pieces! When the soldiers were giving first aid, the Xiao thieves suddenly killed them. They have already broken through the camp gate and are heading towards the central army! Our army is desperately trying to resist...but I'm afraid..."
"Nonsense! This great general is personally appointed by the imperial court! He is also the fourth generation and the third prince! How could we reach this point! How could we be defeated! Quickly gather the soldiers and generals to fight to the death with the invading soldiers!"
Before he could finish his words, there was a "swish" sound, and an arrow penetrated through the tent and was nailed on the screen not far from Shen Jizhou, its feathers fluttering and trembling.
Shen Jizhou was shocked, and then he believed what Guo Tu said.
Guo Tu urged: "My lord, the power is not mine. We are defeated. My lord, don't delay. Follow me out of the camp quickly. Generals Jiang Heng and Li Tai have already summoned all the elite halberd guards to protect you." The lord left safely! When the lord returns to Bohai City, we can make plans again!"
"No - how can I retreat! Xiao Yuanche! The traitor! You and I are at odds with each other!" Shen Jizhou was furious.
"puff--"
A mouthful of dark red blood spurted out of the body.
Guo Tu suddenly panicked and hurried forward.
Shen Jizhou vomited out this mouthful of blood and then regained his sanity. He shook his head in despair and waved his hands: "The situation is over! The situation is over!"
At this moment, the curtain cage was raised, and Jiang Heng and Li Taier came straight in, covered in armor.
The two looked panicked, clasped their fists at Shen Jizhou and said in unison: "Master! Take advantage of this opportunity."
The Xiao thief hasn't been killed yet, I'm waiting to protect my lord and leave quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Shen Jizhou still shook his head and said: "I still have hundreds of thousands of troops, how can I defeat! How can I defeat!"
Li Tai said in a trembling voice: "My lord, a fire broke out. It was difficult to control the fire. The horses were frightened and ran rampant! They couldn't stop it at all. In the panic, they were killed by the fire and countless soldiers were trampled to death by the horses. Now the whole army is defeated." , we can’t organize effective resistance at all!”
Jiang Heng also said: "My lord, the last general will lead the halberd guards to escort the lord away to a safe place! The eldest son has already gone to gather the soldiers regardless of his own safety. I think there will be many soldiers gathered in the future. When the time comes, we will fight. Let’s fight back to Bohai as a family and try to make a comeback!”
"Shen Qian! My son Yonglie!...Okay, okay!" Shen Jizhou lamented sadly.
He still refused to leave, so the two generals Li Tai and Jiang Heng couldn't help but forcefully held Shen Jizhou up, one on the left and the other on the right, and got out of the tent.
Shen Jizhou looked up and suddenly felt despair.
The sea of fire was boiling, and the whole camp was filled with shouts of killing. In the rolling waves of fire, the sight was full of fighting.
But it was obvious that those who charged were mostly Xiao Yuanche's men, and those who were killed were mostly soldiers from Bohai.
Shen Jizhou closed his eyes and stamped his feet vigorously, feeling regretful.
"I regret not listening to Hanwen and Dashu's words! How could we have suffered such a disastrous defeat today!" Shen Jizhou said sadly.
"Father! Father! Hurry up and get on your horse. The child and everyone else will do their best to protect his father and evacuate!"
At this moment, among the thousands of halberd guards gathered in front of the tent, two young generals came out on horseback. They were Shen Jizhou's second son Shen Kun and third son Shen Huang.
Shen Jizhou still hesitated and said: "But your brother is now
Still..."
Shen Kun and Shen Huang didn't wait for Shen Jizhou to finish speaking, and had already put him on the horse and said: "Father! My brother is brave and has gathered the soldiers. I think it will definitely be auspicious. Father, Bohai cannot live without you! Let's leave quickly!"
At this point, Shen Jizhou had no other choice but to get on his horse. Surrounded by all the soldiers and his two sons, he wanted to break out of the encirclement to the north.
At this moment, I suddenly felt the earth tremble, and a troop of troops and horses surged out from the left side. Their appearance was neat and tidy, and their murderous intent was fierce.
Shen Jizhou looked up in panic, and when he saw the two generals leading the army, he felt relieved. He sat on his horse and shouted hurriedly: "Ban Yi! Xuan Ba! You guys came just in time! I never thought there would be so many fresh troops." !Come and save me!"
Guo Tu on the side looked stern, his eyes moving wildly, not knowing what he was thinking.
However, they saw Zhang Chunyi and Zang Xuanba, their faces ashen, standing with their swords drawn, indifferent.
Shen Jizhou was puzzled and shouted twice more.
The two generals remained motionless and silent.
Shen Jizhou looked surprised and said in a trembling voice: "You! What are you doing? Why don't you say anything?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers moved to the left and right.
Opposite Shen Jizhou, a horse stepped out slowly.
Immediately, a young man in white sat upright, with bright eyebrows and elegant eyes.
"Shen Jizhou... What do you want to ask General Bu Yi and General Xuan Ba about? How about I answer you?"
He paused and said word by word: "Without him! I'll kill you!"
