"Dazhuang, listen to me, you will take people to the north later..."
Zhang Liang stood in the gondola, held a brief combat meeting with Da Zhuang and several company commanders, and then asked Heizi to control the hot air balloon to take off.
Several heavy crossbows captured by the Eastern Barbarians from Dakang's army had been blown up by Da Zhuang and the others, so the hot air balloon flew to a height of more than 100 meters, and Zhang Liang told Heizi to stop rising.
They tied Yelu Shu and Dongman Shuaiqi with ropes and hung them 23 meters above the ground. They also found several war horses to drag the hot air balloon.
In this way, the Eastern Barbarian soldiers on the ground can clearly see Yelu Shu and Shuai Qi.
Zhang Liang stood in the hanging basket and had a panoramic view of the entire Dongman camp.
He used telescopes to observe several key locations and decisively asked the flag bearer to pass on the order.
On the ground, Da Zhuang still felt that Zhang Liang's idea was too risky, but after seeing the order, without saying a word, he immediately divided the three hundred black armored cavalry into two teams.
One team was waiting on the spot, and Da Zhuang led the other team to turn their horses and run northward.
The rest of the bodyguards without horses were divided into two teams like Da Zhuang and others. One team was waiting in place, and the other team was running northward.
After Da Zhuang and the others left, Zhang Liang led the other half of his bodyguards and went straight to the Dongman camp.
On the city wall, all the civil and military officials looked numb.
"Who is the commander of the escort? What does he want to do?"
"What else can we do? This formation is clearly for a strong attack!"
"Are they crazy? They want to rely on just these people to attack the Dongman camp?!"
"Jin Feng is a madman, and the people he brought out are also madmen!"
"Master Gao, what you said is wrong. The battle between the two armies was fought with blood and courage. Just now, there were only a few hundred people in the bodyguards who went to the camp to capture the commander. You adults also said that they were crazy, but what was the result? Not only did they succeed,
He escaped with almost no casualties!"
"That's because the Eastern Barbarians are in chaos and know that there are not many people who can break into the camp to seize the commander, otherwise they would not be able to succeed!"
"Don't worry about the reason, they succeeded anyway!"
“Just because you were lucky once, doesn’t mean you will be lucky every time!”
"Master Gao is wrong. This is not luck, but courage! It is courage!"
…
Civil and military officials began to argue.
The main peace faction felt that Zhang Liang was taking too many risks and leading his troops to attack was seeking death.
The main militant faction felt that Zhang Liang could create another miracle.
Jin Feng looked down, his palms sweating from nervousness.
Although he also fought a battle with one against ten in Qingshui Valley, the unique terrain of Qingshui Valley allowed him to succeed.
The north bank of the Yellow River is flat and there is not even a trench. Zhang Liang has no terrain advantage, so the only thing Zhang Liang can do is to attack by force.
"There are only two thousand people in total, and they are divided into two places. What is Brother Liang's plan?"
Ninth Princess put down her telescope and asked worriedly.
"If I guess correctly, Brother Liang is going to use Yelu Shu and Shuai Qi to attract the attention of most of the Eastern Barbarians, and then let Da Zhuang seize the opponent's military horse camp!"
Jin Feng guessed.
The Eastern Barbarians brought 30,000 people to the Central Plains, and they basically rode two horses at a time.
Bringing an extra horse can help you travel quickly and carry loot when you return.
Generally speaking, after the cavalry has set up camp, the horses will be gathered together and fed and managed by specialized grooms. This can ensure the rest time of the cavalry as much as possible and allow them to maintain combat effectiveness at any time.
However, following the experience of the refugees from Damangpo who robbed the military horse camp, after Yelvshu set up camp, he dispersed half of the 60,000 horses throughout the camp, and the cavalry took turns to feed them.
Although this will worsen the air in the camp and add extra burden to the cavalry, it is very safe.
Once a battle occurs, the cavalry can mount their horses as quickly as possible and enter combat status.
It's a pity that Yelu Shu never thought that the monkey would poison the water, and at this time, half of the horses were 90% out of control.
Almost all the tents in the entire Dongman camp were knocked over by the rampaging horses.
As for the other half of the horses that do not need to go into battle, they are still kept in the military horse camp according to the traditional method and fed by the grooms.
Yelu Shu placed the army and horse camp to the north of the camp. Jin Feng didn't mention it just now, and the Ninth Princess hadn't noticed yet. Wasn't Da Zhuang heading north with a group of bodyguards?
"Yelushuke sent a lot of people to guard the army and horse camp. I think Da Zhuang and the others have too little chance of winning," said the Ninth Princess: "How about sending a signal and asking Brother Liang to send a carrier pigeon back and tell him what he thinks?"
"Absolutely not!" Jin Feng shook his head without hesitation: "Since I asked Brother Liang to command this battle, I can't point fingers in the middle, otherwise it will ruin Brother Liang's plan!"
Don’t be suspicious of people and don’t be suspicious of people you employ. Although Jin Feng didn’t know Zhang Liang’s specific plan, he believed that since Zhang Liang dared to do it, he must be sure of it.
"Okay." When the Ninth Princess saw what Jin Feng said, she could only nod slightly.
Jin Feng also raised his telescope again.

This is the approximate terrain on the battlefield at this time.
At this time, Da Zhuang and more than a hundred cavalry had already rushed to the west side of the military horse camp. Jin Feng originally thought that he would lead people to storm the military horse camp and rob the Eastern Barbarians' horses. But who knew that Da Zhuang did not do this and continued to move forward?
I ran north for several miles before stopping.
When passing by a forest, everyone dismounted, cut some branches, and tied them behind their horses.
Then he rode a war horse and ran wildly, bringing up dust all over the sky.
On the battlefield in the south, Zhang Liang saw the situation in the north and immediately looked for the most chaotic incision, so that the fully armed black-armored cavalry lined up in an arrow formation, pushed to the front, and rushed into the Dongman camp without hesitation!
The infantry escorts were arranged in sequence with shield bearers, sword bearers, and spear bearers, following the cavalry.
At this time, the Dongman camp was still in chaos. From captains at all levels to ordinary soldiers, almost everyone was squatting on the ground so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists. They had to pay attention to the war horses running around at any time.
Under this situation, even if a few captains endured the severe pain in their abdomens and stood up to take command, they would not be able to organize an effective defense.
The escorts encountered almost negligible resistance, and they just rushed into the Dongman camp.
"Yelushu has been killed! You are surrounded! Disarm and refuse to kill!"
All the escorts shouted in unison.
At this time, the Dongman camp was in chaos. If one or two people shouted, they would not be heard at all.
But thousands of people shouted together, and the sound drowned out all the noise.
Jin Feng, who was far away on the city wall, could hear it clearly.
He was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Jin Feng, can you still laugh at this time?"
Chen Ji frowned and said: "You only have so many people. Even if you go deep into the enemy camp, you dare to shout and surround them. You are really bold. Send an order for your people to withdraw quickly. Otherwise, when the Eastern Barbarians react, they will want to withdraw."
It can’t be removed either!”
"Your Majesty, this is not daring, but psychological warfare!" Jin Feng said with a smile.
"What psychological warfare?" Chen Ji asked.
"How can I tell you..." Jin Feng thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you are sitting on the tower, condescending. You naturally know that Brother Liang and the others do not have many people. But Your Majesty, you imagine yourself as an ordinary Eastern Barbarian soldier.
Do you know how many enemies there are in the Dongman camp?"
