One Piece of Song Dynasty

Time flew by quickly, and soon it was late at night. Seeing that it was almost time, the guards called Li Shifu and Yue Yun. Seeing that it was almost time, the people who sneaked into the Jin Camp began to move quietly. Soon, several places in the Jin Camp were on fire. The fires shone like beacons in the dark and could be seen from miles away. to the shining firelight. At this time, Li Shifu and Yue Yun, who had packed up their equipment and mounted their horses, saw the light of the fire and rushed forward with their cavalry. The ignition of the fire soon caused chaos in the Jin Army's camp. Li Cheng, who was sleeping, was also awakened. He quickly came out of the camp and saw people running around, and there were a few fires, but there was no conflict yet. There was a big fire, and there was no cry of killing. Li Cheng quickly stopped a running soldier and said, "What's going on? But the Song Army is coming." The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on. The camp suddenly caught fire, but I didn't see the Song Army." Call in." Bing's words made Li Cheng calm down. It was just a fire. Song Jun didn't call. It might have been a mistake, Li Cheng thought. But just when Li Cheng was about to give the order, the ground suddenly shook slightly. As a veteran who had been on the battlefield for many years, after feeling the vibration on the ground, Li Cheng immediately lay on the ground and listened carefully. After listening for a moment, Li Cheng suddenly became confused. This was obviously the movement of a large group of cavalry, but it came from behind him, not from the front. What was going on? Whose family did this cavalry belong to? , Li Cheng was a little confused for a moment. However, when the loud shouts of killing came, even the most stupid person knew that the enemy was attacking. The Song Army cavalry quickly rushed into the Jin Army's camp and started killing. When Li Cheng saw this, he Knowing that something bad was going on, he organized soldiers to block the Song Army's cavalry while quietly retreating with his own soldiers, preparing to find an opportunity to escape. The situation at Jin camp was not hidden from the scouts sent by Qu Duan. After discovering that something was wrong, the scouts did not care about being exposed and rushed back to the place where they set up an ambush to report to their commander. At this time, Qu Duan was still sleeping, and Wang De was inspecting the camp. When the scout came back, he happened to meet Wang De who was inspecting the camp. Wang De looked at the hurried scout and asked: "What's going on? What's going on ahead?" "Report," the scout said breathlessly, "Report, report to the general, a fire suddenly broke out in the Jin Army camp, and there seemed to be shouts of killing." Wang De said in surprise: "Oh, are you sure?" The scout nodded and said, "You're sure. At first it was just a fire, but then I heard shouts of killing." Wang De thought for a while and said: "You go back and take people to investigate, don't let the Jin army set a trap for us to attract us to attack. Yes." The scout clasped his fists and said, "Yes, General." The whole battle lasted until almost dawn. At this time, the scout sent by Wang De arrived belatedly. Looking at the Jin Army camp that had been turned off, Li Shifu said: "Yue Yun, how have we calculated the enemy annihilation situation and our own casualties in this battle?" Yue Yun on the side nodded and said: "We have all calculated it. This battle Our army wiped out more than enemies, including killed and captured. Several hundred enemies fled, and enemy general Li Cheng also escaped. Our army suffered less than casualties." Li Shifu nodded. : "Okay, let the soldiers have a good rest, and seize the time to send people to explore forward and contact Marshal Qu's army as soon as possible." Yue Yun replied: "Yes, uncle, what should I do with the prisoners we captured? I'll tell you later. The army will continue to move north, and it is impossible to take them with us." Li Shifu thought for a while and said: "Send five hundred people to escort the prisoners and the wounded soldiers of our army south." As soon as the two of them finished, a soldier came with someone to report: " Report to the two generals that the friendly forces have sent scouts over." Li Shifu ordered: "Oh, bring that man up." The people following the soldiers took the initiative to step forward and said: "Two generals, this is the Governor's Mansion Qu in the middle road. Soldiers under the commander-in-chief, after we discovered that there was a fire in the Jin camp, we were sent by General Wang De to investigate the situation." Li Shifu reported his family status: "Well, we are the cavalry unit under the prince's command. This is Li Shifu, and this is Yue Yun, the two of us are the commanders of this cavalry unit. We came to fight north of the Yellow River on the orders of the prince. You can go back and report to your general first. This Jin army only has ten thousand people and it is used to contain you. "The enemy's main force has already moved north along Yushe to Taiyuan City. After our army clears the battlefield, I will personally visit your general." The scout clasped his fists and said, "Yes, go back and send the message." Ever since he learned that something happened at the Jin Army camp, Wang De had not rested. He had been anxiously waiting for news in the camp, while Qu Duan was still asleep. Wang De did not dare to wake Qu Duan until he got the exact news. end. About half an hour later, the scout who went to inquire about the news finally came back with his men. When the scout saw Wang De, he reported: "General, we have figured it out. It was friendly cavalry that attacked the Jin army's camp at night." Wang De breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Well, you can find out who their general is and which part of our army he belongs to." The scout replied: "General, their general is called Li Shifu. It was the prince who sent them to fight north of the Yellow River. Yes, they also asked their subordinates to tell the general that the Jin army we originally planned to ambush only had people, and the main force of the Jin army had already moved north along Yushe to Taiyuan City in advance." Wang De said in shock: "What, the Jin army The main force has already gone north along Yushe." The scout nodded and said: "Yes, General, General Li will come to visit Qu Shuai in person in a while." Wang De said: "Okay, I know, you go down first." After learning the whole situation, Wang De did not dare to neglect and immediately came to Qu Gambling's tent. At this time, Qu Duan had just gotten up and finished cleaning up. Wang De met Qu Du and said, "Commander, something big happened." Qu Duan frowned and said, "What happened?" Wang De said, "The Jin Army camp was attacked by a sneak attack last night. Those who attacked the Jin camp were our friendly forces. The prince sent The cavalry unit, their general is named Li Shifu. According to Li Shifu, the Jin army we plan to ambush only has people. The main force of the Jin army has already asked Jin Wushu to take Yushe away in advance and head north to Taiyuan City." Qu Duanwen Yan said with a cold face: "It seems that we let Jin Wushu fool us. It is about three hundred miles from Qinzhou to Taiyuan via Yushe. If we march eighty to one hundred miles every day, that is Jin Wushu's rate." The army will arrive at Taiyuan City on August nd, or the rd at the latest." Wang De nodded and said: "Yes, Commander, we are now about two hundred and sixty miles away from Taiyuan City, that is, we are We definitely won’t be able to reach Taiyuan City on the nd, and we can only reach Taiyuan on the rd at the earliest.”
