Chapter 238 Why did you go early?

Thanks to Yang Hu's cautiousness, he used soldiers from Jing, Yu, Xu and other states to sneak attack the Han army camp. The Jin army was not directly annihilated after being ambushed. Otherwise, if it were the Yongliang soldiers who fought this battle, then it goes without saying that the Yongliang Jin army, which had already been mentally ill by the Han army, would definitely have 70% or 80% of the people who immediately put down their weapons and surrendered.

However, the losses were still quite large. Three thousand fronts and six thousand backs were severely damaged. Only five thousand people fled back to the camp. The rest were either killed or captured. At the same time, Zhang Shang, the most powerful general of the Jin army in the Jingzhou Military Region, was also seriously injured in the fierce battle, and finally the camp was carried back by his personal soldiers.

Faced with this situation, all the generals of the Jin army who had great confidence in the night attack were dejected. Sima Jun and Sima Lun sighed, but Yang Hu forced himself to laugh and said to the civil and military officials of the Jin army: "Everyone, don't be discouraged. Victory and defeat are just common things in military affairs. We just need to cheer up and take revenge in the future. There is no need to take this small setback to heart."

"Governor, then how do you plan to take revenge?" Sima Lun asked directly without giving face: "Our food route has been cut off. We can eat for twenty days if we have a head-on decisive battle. What should we do next? Governor, you have to make an idea early."

Yang Hu's smile froze on his face, and Wang Hunze also said, "Yes, Governor, whether to fight or leave, you must make up your mind as soon as possible, otherwise if we continue to hesitate so much, our situation will only be even more dangerous."

Yang Hu's smile became even stiffer. Du Yu next to him hesitated for a moment, and then he mustered up the courage to say, "Governor, don't worry, everyone, don't worry. I have a plan to defeat the thief army and reverse our current passive situation."

It was Wang Hun, Sima Lun and others' turn to stop saying a word. The eyes of Du Yu were filled with distrust. Yang Hu quickly asked, "What kind of trick Yuan Kai has? Tell me quickly."

"Go to the camp tonight! You will definitely be able to defeat the thief army!"

Before Du Yu finished his loud answer, the generals of the Jin army were booing, but Wang Jun shouted loudly: "Miscellaneous plan! Governor, this plan is great. I hope the Governor must not hesitate and adopt it immediately!"

"Nonsense!" Even Sima Jun couldn't help it now and scolded: "I thought we hadn't lost enough yet, right? We just suffered a crushing defeat last night. We hadn't had enough lessons yet. We would have to send another death tonight?"

"Ruyin King calms down, please listen to the officials' detailed instructions." Du Yu quickly explained: "Although we failed to rob the camp last night, we successfully awakened the entire robbery army, which affected the rest of the robbery soldiers. The robbery soldiers will definitely sleep more heavily tonight. In addition, the robbery army was ambushed last night, so we must have thought that we were afraid of being beaten tonight, and we will definitely stop taking strict precautions tonight, so we will send troops to rob the camp again tonight and will definitely win a great victory."

"Governor, this is the reason." Wang Jun quickly echoed: "The bandit army succeeded in ambushing last night, and he would definitely not have thought that we would go to the camp again tonight. If we go to sneak attack tonight, we would definitely be able to catch the bandit army off guard."

Yang Hu was moved by Wang Jun and Du Yu, and he couldn't help but nodded and said, "This is the reason, otherwise, tonight..."

"Governor, I ask you not to take risks." Sima Lun quickly interrupted Yang Hu and said, "How treacherous Zhang Zhi's traitor is? How could he be careless and reveal a loophole for us to get into? We went to the camp again tonight despite the fatigue of the soldiers. Not only will it be difficult to succeed, but it is also very likely to be hit by the thief army and suffer heavy losses again."

"Governor, the last general also thinks that we can't take risks." Wang Hun also opposed: "Our morale is not high at all. After repeated failures in robbing the camp, morale will definitely fall to the bottom. Not to mention a decisive battle with the thief army, it will be difficult to even move and retreat!"

"Governor, don't listen to these two silences talking about war!" Hu Lie said in great anger: "Especially Wang Jun, since the time of King Runan, he has never made a bad idea. On the contrary, he has caused us to lose our troops and suffer heavy casualties!"

Hearing this, Wang Jun, who was famous for his contradicting his boss in history, had his face immediately looked extremely ugly. Du Yu quickly grabbed Wang Jun and said to Yang Hu: "Governor, the subordinates think it's best to try again. The subordinates dare to bet that Zhang Zhi's traitor would never have thought that we would go to the camp again tonight, so if we go to the camp again tonight, at most, we would be discovered by the thief army and could not rush into their camp, but we would never be ambushed again or suffered a crushing defeat."

"Come on!" Sima Jun shouted angrily: "Sir, are you enough of your paper talks? At most, the thieves were found unable to rush into the camp. Do you really think that our soldiers are iron-clad, and you don't need to eat or sleep? Even though you know there is no hope, you still have to let our soldiers go and work hard for nothing?"

After saying that, Sima Jun turned to Yang Hu again and said, "Governor Yang, it is your business that you usually favor these two people joining the army. I don't care about it, but this time, you must listen to the opinions of the generals of the audience and not treat our soldiers as humans."

The generals of the Jin army agreed and all opposed to going to vain tonight. Seeing that the public was angry and invading, Yang Hu had no choice but to smile and said, "Okay, since King Ruyin, King Langya and everyone felt that they should not take risks again, then that's what we decided to do. Let our soldiers rest tonight and discuss whether to fight or leave tomorrow."

Seeing that Yang Hu was forced to make concessions, she had long been to Du Yu. The Sima brothers and the generals of the Jin army, who were extremely dissatisfied with Wang Jun, gave up with hatred. Du Yu and Wang Jun originally wanted to say a few more words, but Yang Hu was also restrained by Yang Hu with a stern look.

Finally, it was only after the generals dispersed that Yang Hu said to Du Yu and Wang Jun: "Don't take it seriously. They just suffered a defeat and were on the verge of fire, so they had such a bad temper. They were not targeting you on purpose."

"If you target them or not, you will do whatever you want." Du Yu replied: "The key is that the fighter jet is really rare tonight. Don't miss it, uncle."

"I can't do anything if all the generals don't follow me." Yang Hu spread his hands helplessly and said, "You have seen the situation just now. No one has the confidence. Even if you barely go to the battle, your hope of success will definitely be slim, so let it go."

Du Yu sighed helplessly, and Yang Hu yawned again and said, "If there is nothing else, go back to rest. You didn't sleep all night last night, so you must be exhausted. Be careful of your health."

After leaving the Central Army tent, Du Yu vaguely felt that he had forgotten something important. However, after a closer look, Du Yu couldn't remember anything important. In addition, he was indeed a little tired, so Du Yu had to put this matter behind his mind for the time being and yawned back to the tent to rest.

Unfortunately, this day happened to be a sunny day, with the sun shining brightly and cloudless, making the ground red and hot, and the tent was even more stuffy and hot, which made Du Yu not sleep well in the tent. After sleeping for a while, he couldn't stand the stuffy heat and had to get up to deal with military affairs and pass the time. Finally, he went to dinner with Yang Hu with a pair of panda eyes.

It was still when it was dark, a cool breeze appeared in the air. Du Yu, who had only slept for a while in one day and one night, quickly returned to the tent to sleep. As a result, he lay down and didn't know how long he had slept. In the haze, an important event suddenly appeared in Du Yu's mind, causing Du Yu to stand up and sit up, screaming in his heart, "Oh no! Why did I forget to remind my uncle about an important event? What if the pseudo-Han thief army came to sneak attack our camp tonight?"

The more I thought about it carefully, the more terrible he felt, Du Yu simply put on his clothes and went out of the tent, hurriedly ran out of Yang Hu's tent to ask for a meeting. As a result, Du Yu was able to enter the tent immediately and saw Yang Hu. When he saw Yang Hu, he immediately said: "Uncle, I was negligent today and forgot to remind you about an important matter. Zhang Zhi was treacherous and treacherous. Seeing that we failed to rob the camp last night, he would definitely guess that we would be careless and show flaws tonight, and it is very likely that we would send troops to sneak attack our camp tonight. You must be careful and guard against it."

Hearing this, Yang Hu certainly did not dare to neglect it. He quickly asked the personal soldiers in the tent: "What time is the update?"

"Dong!—Dong!Dong!"

It was also a coincidence that before the personal soldiers could answer, the sound of a three-hour bangzi came from outside the tent, and Du Yu's face changed suddenly and he said to himself: "It's a bad thing! I'm reminding you too late!"

"kill--!"

The words came true. Before Du Yu could finish his words in his heart, a huge shouting of killing came from afar. Du Yu and Yang Hu also changed their faces and rushed out of the tent to check the situation. However, they saw that the front camp was already shouting and killing, and countless black shadows rushed into the Jin army camp. Outside the Jin army camp, countless torches appeared quickly.

"Go to the Central Army's tent! Beat the drum and let the entire army get up to fight!"

When Yang Hu roared this, the Jin army camp, which was extremely quiet just now, was already in chaos. Countless soldiers roared in panic and rushed out of the military tent. The sound of gongs on the alarm suddenly rang out again, scaring many Jin soldiers escaped from the military tent without even having time to put on their clothes. When Yang Hu saw this, he quickly yelled: "Don't be messed up! Don't be messed up! Immediately sending orders to the entire army to restrain the soldiers and prepare for the battle! Anyone who creates chaos and flees from the camp will be killed on the spot!"

Fortunately, most of the elite troops drawn from major war zones in the Central Plains. Relying on the efforts of middle and grassroots generals to maintain discipline, the chaos in the Jin army camp did not expand rapidly, and the battalions and troops also quickly entered the war preparations in an orderly manner. However, when Yang Hu rushed into the central army's tent and beat drums to gather the generals, bad news suddenly came from the front camp - all the Jin army soldiers wearing Jin army uniforms were all Jin army soldiers!

"Shameless Rats!" Yang Hu punched the table in front of him with a heavy punch, shouting with red eyes: "It's not counting the sneak attack on our camp, but even letting your thief army wear our military uniforms. It's so despicable!"

"Don't panic, the governor." Du Yu hurriedly advised: "The most important thing at the moment is to stick to the Central Army camp. As long as our Central Army is not in chaos, the troops in other camps will have the backbone and can fight and kill the scattered bandits on their own."

Yang Hu nodded in dismay and said annoyedly: "I should insist on listening to you during the day. If we listen to you, at most we will fight an encounter with the thief army outside the camp. So what about passiveness like now?"

At this time, the Han army brigade had followed and rushed into the Jin army camp. With the front team dressed as Jin soldiers, they rushed directly to the right camp of the Jin army without hesitation. Seeing this scene in front of the central tent, Yang Hu's face changed again and blurted out: "Oh no! Our cavalry and horses are all in the right camp. If the bandits ignite the stables and the horses are running wildly, our camp will definitely be in chaos!"

"How did the thief army know that our stable is in the right camp?" Du Yu was a little surprised, and then came to his senses after a moment of calculation, and said, "It's a pity, the prisoners of war last night! The traitors must have appeared in the strokes we captured last night. He told the pseudo-Han thief army the arrangement of our camp!"

Du Yu discovered this too late. With the guidance of the surrendered soldiers of the Jin army, the Han army found the stables of the Jin army extremely easily, as if they were looking for something in their own camp. Then, while setting fire to the horses without hesitation, they desperately cut off the reins and galloped on the horses. Countless war horses were frightened and raised their hooves, galloping among the chaos of the Jin army, which soon caused chaos in the right camp of the Jin army. The soldiers of the Han army set fire and slashed to the fullest, killing the Jin cavalry who were not in the future, killing the ground with corpses and howling ghosts and wolves.

"Send the order to guard the base camp and fight resolutely!"

The command Yang Hu roared with a blue face was not very effective. He was attacked by the frightened war horses, and the Jin army's rear camp soon became chaotic. At the same time, in the wilderness to the east, more torches were rushing towards this side. It was obvious that the Han army and the rear team were coming to reinforce. There was no idea how many enemies came in the dark. Not to mention the low-spirited Jin army soldiers, even Yang Hu, Du Yu and others were panicked, fearing that there would be too many enemies to resist.

This worry unfortunately became a fact. Then, tens of thousands of Han soldiers rushed into the Jin army camp with shouts and they rushed to the Jin army camp without hesitation, and directly rushed to the left camp of the Jin army that barely remained stable. At the same time, a large number of torches and primitive grenades were thrown torches and set fire to the enemy. The Jin army soldiers hurriedly fought and fought with the Han army in the dark night.

Immediately afterwards, something even more unlucky happened. As the front team of the Han army marched into the Jin army's rear camp, Yongliang soldiers, who were mainly concentrated in the Jin army's rear camp, were defeated at once, and rushed to the outside of the camp and other camps. They also ran and shouted, "We lost, run quickly! If you want to survive, run quickly!"

Seeing this, the front team of the Han army led by Huo Biao was of course not polite. He immediately set fire and rushed to the left camp of the Jin army in a clockwise direction. He and the rear team of the Han army led by Zhao Quan attacked the left camp of the Jin army. Hundreds of Han soldiers wearing Jin army uniforms also took the opportunity to sneak into the left camp of the Jin army. While setting fire to create chaos, shouting the slogan that we had lost, shaking the morale of the Jin army, and also made many Jin soldiers believe it and really give up fighting and flee outside the camp.

At this time, in addition to the Jin army's central camp, the Jin army's outer camp was completely in chaos, with fire and smoke everywhere, and there were galloping horses everywhere, and primitive grenades kept exploding, shouting and killing, and the fire was everywhere. Yang Hu and others looked as if they were in the Central Camp, but they could do nothing.

In the end, the left camp of the Jin army, which Hu Lie personally led the army to guard, was still unable to block the Han army's attack. At the fifth hour, it was completely defeated by the Han army. Countless soldiers fled out of the camp, and Hu Lie himself had to flee back to the Zhongjun camp for help. Then the Han army did not attack the Jin army's central camp, which was already prepared. He just quickly cleaned the battlefield and immediately retreated to the way he came, leaving behind dead bodies all over the ground and burned foreign camps for the Jin army.

After it was clear, the defeated soldiers who had fled out of the camp and listened to the casualties counted by the Jin army's battalions and the losses of the baggage war horses. Yang Hu suddenly said to the generals with a dark face: "I have decided! Tomorrow night, abandon the camp and retreat eastward. Who has any objection?"

They looked at each other's expressions, including Sima Jun and Sima Lun, all clasped their fists together and said, "Abide by the commander-in-chief!"

"Never object now?"

Yang Hu sneered and said, "What have you been doing? If you could hear Yuan Kai and Shizhi's unpleasant advice yesterday and support the Governor to send troops to rob the camp, why would we suffer such a crushing defeat?"

Sima Jun and others bowed their heads ashamed, but Du Yu said, "Governor, if you abandon the camp tomorrow night, you will probably be counted by Zhang Zhi's thief. It would be better to use Zhang Zhi's thief to calculate that we will let the soldiers rest well tonight. The thief army has been fighting for two consecutive night battles and will leave tonight."
