The general has teeth that are ready to be chewed to pieces, and the general has canthus that bleeds into tears.
Born as a general and died as a powerful star, all the mountains and rivers are unjust.
If two people are of the same mind, their fortune will be unfavorable, and the sky and the city will serve as a shield for the country.
Strong soldiers are sitting around and looking at each other in anger. Who is the filial son and the loyal minister?
Thousands of years of success and fame are also God's will. I don't think you will see the Henan festival coming in three days.
——"Suiyang Tan" Li Dongyang (Ming Dynasty)
…
In the next few days, every once in a while, black-clothed men would appear on the walls of Yongqiu City, and they would descend on ropes from time to time.
After Linghu Chao fell into the trap, he felt ashamed every time he saw the men in black, so he simply hid in the Chinese army's tent, out of sight and out of mind.
The puppet Yan soldiers laughed at Zhang Xun for repeating his old tricks, being greedy and no longer shooting arrows at the grass-roots people. Gradually, the besieging Yan army became accustomed to Zhang Xun's night-walking grass-roots people and no longer took precautions.
Zhang Xun led Bai Fu and carefully counted the number of arrows on the black-clothed grass men every day. When the puppet Yan soldiers almost stopped shooting arrows, Zhang Xun made up his mind.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Xun selected 500 elite soldiers with high martial arts skills from the Tang army, and asked everyone to eat and rest early. Waiting until the third watch, Zhang Xun gathered 500 warriors and asked the soldiers to wear armor and scarecrow clothes.
Dressed in black, they tied on ropes and were ready to lower themselves down and attack the puppet Yan army camp at night.
Zhang Xun looked solemn and told the generals: "We, the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, this battle is different from the ordinary battle of attacking the camp. It is very dangerous. Everyone must have the heart to die before we can fight against the enemy.
Down!
In the past few days, I have been counting the arrows on the straw man. Although the number of arrows is getting fewer and fewer, and I didn’t even shoot arrows in the past two days. But it does not mean that the enemy will not shoot arrows this time!
When descending the rope, if you are attacked by sporadic arrows, no matter how painful it is, you must grit your teeth and endure it. Remember not to block the arrows or struggle. Even if you are killed on the spot, you must not act rashly. Otherwise, once the enemy notices, you will be killed.
When the arrows are fired together, it is no longer an individual who will be sacrificed, but our five hundred soldiers!"
"promise!"
All the generals spoke in unison, their eyes were firm, and their determination to die was evident on their faces!
This was the first time that Bai Fu faced thousands of soldiers fighting to the death. His heart was touched and he couldn't help himself.
Bai Fu was so good at lightness that he didn't need to use a rope to get down to the city. He lay down behind the crenellations, holding his breath and observing his teammates. Once the five hundred soldiers safely got down from the city, he flew over the city and attacked with them.
More than a thousand men in black were tied with ropes, real and fake soldiers were intertwined, and they were slowly lowered from the city wall.
As expected, the puppet Yan soldiers thought that this time it was still a scarecrow hanging on the city, so they didn't take it seriously and were not prepared at all.
…
Seeing that there were only a few feet left, all the five hundred warriors would land safely. The generals let out a long breath, and the stone hanging in their hearts was about to fall.
At this moment, there was a commotion on the corner tower of the Puppet Yan military camp. It turned out that there were several Puppet Yan officers and soldiers on duty tonight. It was a long night with nothing to do. These few people were bored and passed the time by gambling.
A general had bad luck tonight. He lost several stores and a lot of money in a row. He became so angry that he pushed the dice, got up and stopped playing. He muttered Turkic curses in an unclean manner.
Seeing the black-clothed grass men lowering their ropes from the Yongqiu city wall, the general cursed: "What the hell, you bunch of grass men ruined my luck!"
He held up the bow and arrow at his side and fired six arrows at a black-clothed grass man. This pseudo-Yan general was a Turkic eagle shooter, and his arrow skills were precise, and all of them hit the black-clothed grass man's face.
Another general took his bow and arrows away and advised: "Look, he was hit in the face by an arrow and is still standing upright. He must be a scarecrow."
Stop shooting. If General Linghu finds out that you wasted your carved feather arrows, you will be punished again. Come, play cards!"
The two threw away their bows and arrows, squatted down, and continued gambling.
…
Bai Fu saw it clearly from the tower. The man in black who was hit by the arrow trembled his fingers slightly and clenched his fist tightly. It was not a scarecrow, but a living person, the fierce general Lei Wanchun!
How much patience does it take to keep six targets in your face without moving?
Bai Fu's eyes were moist and he murmured: "Brother Lei, hold on, I'll come to save you right away!"
When the five hundred warriors successfully reached the city, Bai Fu, like a gecko, slid down the wall silently and quickly came to Lei Wanchun's side. Lei Wanchun fell in a pool of blood, dying.
Nan Jiyun burst into tears, shook Lei Wanchun's hand and said: "Second brother, if something happens to you, I won't be alone!" After saying that, he left two soldiers to look after Lei Wanchun, and led the rest of the generals quietly to
The puppet Yan army camp covered them up and killed them.
Bai Fu's fingers were like wheels, and he hit key points on Lei Wanchun's body to stop the blood flow. He cut out the flesh with a medical knife, pulled out the arrows, and applied gold wound medicine.
Bai Fu put a pill into Lei Wanchun's mouth, and pressed his palm against Lei Wanchun's back. The Xuanmen's true energy poured in. Lei Wanchun coughed and woke up.
Bai Fu let out a long breath, knowing that Lei Wanchun's life was saved. He ordered the soldiers left behind to take good care of Lei Wanchun, and then he deployed his movement skills and, as fast as flying, joined the five hundred soldiers.
At this time, Nan Jiyun had led five hundred warriors to the gate of the puppet Yan army camp quietly.
There were two sentries patrolling on the hanging buckets on both sides of the entrance to the military camp. Nan Jiyun saw Bai Fu arriving in time, made signs, and took action on their own.
Nan Jiyun bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot two arrows at the same time, hitting the sentinel's throat, killing the enemy with one arrow. The two sentinels fell from the bucket, and several Tang soldiers caught their bodies.
On the other side of the hanging fight, Bai Fu launched the attack. Bai Fu raised his hand, and two pebbles were as fast as meteors, hitting the medulla oblongata of the back of the sentinel's head. The medulla oblongata is the most vulnerable part of the human head. With one blow to the head, the two sentinels were like a puddle of mud.
, fell down silently.
When Nan Jiyun saw Bai Fu's method of killing his enemies, which was exactly the style of the Tang Sect's top killer, he was filled with admiration and raised his thumb.
Bai Furu, who was like a civet cat, rushed into the camp and slowly opened the camp door.
Five hundred warriors from the Tang Dynasty poured into the Puppet Yan military camp like a tide. In groups of five, they split up and poured grease, kerosene and other flammable substances into the grain, grass and baggage, stables and warehouses.
Bai Fu and Nan Jiyun led the troops and continued to kill the officers and soldiers who were on duty on the turrets around the camp. They hated Lei Wanchun for shooting him with arrows, so they started to attack Lei Wanchun without mercy, slitting his throat and shooting his head, killing him with one move.
The entire operation was fast, silent, and clearly well-trained. It turned out that when Bai Fu arrived at Yongqiu two days ago, he had disguised himself as a Yan Army soldier and passed through the military camp. He knew the camp roads and the layout of the baggage facilities very well.
Before the operation, the Tang army rehearsed many times according to the map drawn by Bai Fu. At this time, they entered the military camp, followed the map and carried out the operations in sequence.
I saw a firecracker rising into the sky and fireworks exploding. Tang troops from all walks of life set fire to the camp at the same time.
The puppet Yan army was still in a dream and was caught off guard. For a moment, everyone was frightened and horses neighed, and they became a mess.
The Pseudo-Yan camps were hundreds of paces apart and connected by roads. A group of fifteen crossbow archers from the Tang army set up a small fort at the intersection in the middle of the camp.
Seeing the Puppet Yan soldiers running along the road, the Tang army fired crossbows and arrows, killing the enemy soldiers row by row. The Puppet Yan officers and soldiers killed unknown numbers of Tang soldiers. In panic, they collided and trampled on each other, and cut down everyone they saw without distinguishing them.
Friend or foe.
Such a method of breaking the formation is exactly the method of setting up a camp that Bai Fuxi learned from General Zhongsi. The Eight Formations of Fenghou can be broken, let alone this mixed military camp of Hu and Han!
The five hundred warriors of the Tang army were as fierce as tigers, and they chopped down the fleeing soldiers of the Yan army until they were on their backs.
Nan Jiyun was so excited to kill, he raised the knife and dropped it, shouting that he was very satisfied!
Zhang Xun saw the Puppet Yan army camp was ablaze with fire, opened the city gate, rushed out, and led the cavalry to attack Linghu Chao's camp.
…
Bai Fu on the other side of the military camp was extremely calm.
Capture the thief first and capture the king! Kill Linghu Chao and the army will collapse!
Bai Fuxuan held the iron sword in his hand and wandered around the military camp waiting for an opportunity. When he met the Yan army generals who were blocking him, Bai Fu looked like a ghost. When he passed by, he looked back and slashed his head, cutting him into two pieces.
Bonfires were burning in the military camp, bright as day.
In the light of the fire, Bai Fu saw only one man in a gold helmet and iron armor. Surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, he beat his horse and whipped and fled.
Bai Fu was overjoyed and shouted: "Old man Linghu, where are we going!" He flew up and flew at the top of the tent. After several ups and downs, he came behind the group of people.
A general protecting Linghu Chao pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards Bai Fu with an iron gun in hand.
"Teng Teng Teng" Bai Fu took three steps in a row, pointed his toes, and rose into the air. He raised the black iron thick-backed sword with both hands and slashed it down in the air.
The general of the Yan army did not know how powerful Bai Fu was, so he laughed ferociously and pointed his spear at him.
"Shua"
Bai Fu raised his sword and cut the enemy general in half with his gun!
When he was falling, Bai Fu kicked half of the enemy general's body off his horse. Then with the remaining momentum, he spun around and landed firmly on the enemy general's horse.
Bai Fu rode his horse and whipped his whip in pursuit of Linghu Chao.
Linghu Chao's soldiers turned around to take cover. Bai Fu took out his crossbow and fired several arrows in succession. The arrows were not missed, and he shot Linghu Chao's soldiers off their horses one by one.
Linghu Chao was shocked and stabbed his horse in the buttocks with his knife. The horse felt the pain and galloped away, and was about to escape from the military camp.
Bai Fu held the carved bow in his hand, took out an iron arrow, and pointed it at the horse. As soon as the bow string was loosened, the iron arrow whizzed away, shot into the horse's anus, and pierced the horse's belly.
The horse under Linghu Chao's crotch neighed and fell down with all four hooves, knocking Linghu Chao to the ground.
Bai Fu rode his horse to Linghu Chao's side and said with a smile: "Old man Linghu, where are you running?"
When the man raised his head, he saw a young face. He said tremblingly: "General, please forgive me. I am just Linghu Chao's personal captain, pretending to be him and running away!"
"I'm so angry!" Bai Fu spat on the ground!
After thinking about it, although Linghu Chao escaped, the 'Fake Linghu Chao' was still available. Bai Fu tied up the 'Fake Linghu Chao', put him on his horse, and ordered the surrounding Tang soldiers to shout in unison: "Linghu Chao has been captured."
, put down your weapons and return quickly!"
In the distance, the Yan army could not see clearly, but they saw people wearing Linghuchao armor and cloaks being captured by the Tang army and tied to horses.
The commander was captured, and the generals no longer had the fighting spirit. They either surrendered or fled in all directions. The tens of thousands of troops collapsed in an instant.
…
When the fire broke out, Linghu Chao was beaten to a pulp by the Tang army, and he ran away with his head in his arms. The chaotic army was unable to organize a resistance, so he could only disguise himself as a pawn under the protection of several personal followers, abandon the camp on horseback, and flee.
After escaping for more than ten miles, Linghu Chao gathered the remaining defeated soldiers and stabilized his position.
Linghu Chao looked back at the Yan Army camp where the flames were blazing, and gritted his teeth: "Zhang Xun, don't be proud, I will be back!"
