Two-quarters of an hour later, under the cover of mist, Xu Shiying's less than 2,000 men left the camp where they had been holding for half a month, crossed the pontoon bridge and the frozen river, and dispersed in teams under the river embankment and along the embankment.

He was lying face down, while Xu Shiying himself was standing on the river embankment wearing iron armor and a white short cloak, looking at the Dongdu Army camp in trance, which seemed not to be alarmed at all.

However, just a moment later, the military general wearing a short cloak raised his sword: "Raise fire."

The sound was not loud, but it seemed particularly clear in the moonlit night sky obscured by clouds and mist. As soon as the military order was issued, it was immediately spread from the surrounding guards, and the torches that had been prepared were gradually lit, and the light was quickly illuminated.

The entire river embankment then penetrated the mist and was reflected in the Dongdu Army's camp.

By this time, there was obviously some movement in the Dongdu Army camp.

This time, Xu Shiying didn't hesitate for a moment. He waved his long sword, his face was as usual, and he just pointed towards the night sky in front of him: "Kill!"

The shout suddenly erupted, driving the infuriating energy, faintly like thunder. At the same time, the thick green eternal infuriating energy also escaped, rolling and extending along the long sword. In an instant, a green light lit up at night and enveloped the surrounding area.

The trend of soldiers.

The surrounding soldiers obviously paused, but soon, without joining the army and passing orders to the officers, these soldiers who had followed Xu Dalang for more than four or five years, and even had children from home, all got up from the ground one after another, shouting loudly to kill and make noise, so-called

Wearing armor and armed with weapons, they launched a surprise attack towards the camp directly ahead.

Moreover, since it is a breakout, it is natural to choose a suitable route. Therefore, the location of the pontoon bridge and the ice surface is not directly opposite the Dongdu Army Camp, but downstream in the northeast. Theoretically speaking, if the Dongdu Army Camp

The others did not realize that Xu Shiying's troops should have continued to move downstream along the river embankment. It would be best to go all the way to the edge of the camp before launching an assault and protruding out.

However, whether it was out of basic tactical needs - the order Xu Shiying received was to break out with a partial division to alert the enemy and attract the attention of the entire battlefield; or out of a basic tactical judgment - as a grand master, Bai Hengqiu could not

Perhaps Xu Shiying, who had never been aware of the breakout force, immediately launched a fierce frontal attack!

The cry of killing was accompanied by a sudden burst of fire. Zheng Shanye, the general of the Dongdu Army in front of him, turned over and sat up, his expression changed drastically.

After realizing what had happened, the veteran general who had inherited the title of Duke of the Kingdom was a little dizzy again and was at a loss. This was not to say that he had no experience in dealing with unexpected military situations, nor did it mean that he had no experience in dealing with unexpected military situations.

He was completely shaken by a semi-expected breakout. Rather, when he realized what had happened and was about to deal with it according to empirical methods, he suddenly remembered that his command system did not exist at all.

!

That's right, don't forget, Zheng Shanye originally led his troops to the city on the eastern front, but the result of the meeting the day before yesterday was that Qu Tuda was left alone to replace him. Although Zheng Shanye was dissatisfied, he did not dare to resist Bai Hengqiu, so

So he turned back alone, only to find that the command of the camp had fallen into the hands of Bai Hengqiu himself. He was just an extra, and there was no need to compete for temporary military power, so he had nothing to do.

Therefore, Zheng Shanye did not have the authority to command the army at this time, and he did not have a complete army command system to connect Qu Tuda's subordinates in the camp and the troops pulled by Cao Lin and Duan Wei from Dongdu.

"Mr. Bai is careless, something bad will happen tonight!"

Under the firelight, after Zheng Shanye came to his senses, he immediately said these words to the close guard who came from the family next to him. "No matter what, please put on your clothes first." The guards naturally have to perform their duties.

"Let's go!" Zheng Shanye had many years of ups and downs in officialdom and military experience, but he woke up the moment he stood up and put on his armor, and then dragged his unfinished armor out.

"Your Majesty! It's better to show up at this time!" The guards were puzzled for a moment, thinking that the opponent was trying to be a hero, so they quickly stopped and hugged him. "We can't command the troops at all and fight forcefully. We can only rely on the Lord to show up on his own initiative. It's too dangerous.

Got it!"

"I'm not going to fight!" Zheng Shanye explained anxiously. "How can we fight in this situation? My cultivation level is not good, and any big boss can deal with us!"

"It's not easy to escape, right?" The guard seemed to be surprised. "If the British prince can't deal with the gang, how can he not deal with the Lord?"

"I know too." Zheng Shanye quickly gave the answer. "Let's go quickly and go to the Chinese Army to find the British Duke! To find the British Duke, on the one hand, we can save our own lives, and on the other hand, we can also make it clear that the troops in the camp do not belong to me, and take this opportunity to avoid trouble.

, This will be a big defeat tonight, and the British public will not be able to use me as a scapegoat!"

The guards were completely stunned, and quickly called for people to follow the opponent out of the camp with armor. They hurriedly helped the opponent put it on while retreating towards the direction of the Chinese army.

It is difficult to say whether Zheng Shanye's judgment was wise, because he did not know that the military breakout team coming across the river only had one battalion, but the matter was at this point, and it was useless to think about it.

The fact is that after Zheng Shanye chose to escape immediately, the already disorganized Dongdu Army naturally showed a collapse situation in the fighting area. Countless troops had no time to put on their clothes and directly chose to flee in panic. A few of them were captains.

The class-oriented generals tried to control the situation and organize counterattacks, but they often failed to gain a foothold. They were either routed and scattered, or overwhelmed by the desperate assault troops. Less than a quarter of an hour after the opening fire, Xu Shiying killed at least two people with his own hands.

Mid-level officers such as famous captains and Sima.

As a result, the few Dongdu troops who tried to resist could only work as a team for a while, trying to control their respective camps under the command of the team general.

"set fire!"

Xu Shiying, who had already assaulted the center of the camp, noticed the change in the situation and immediately issued a new military order.

Following this man's military orders, fires started to rise one after another, and the fences lit up the entire night sky in an instant against the burning tents. This time, in addition to further disintegrating the resistance of the Dongdu Army in front of them, the coalition camps in the east and west of the river were up and down.

Naturally, they were also alarmed together, and every camp within a radius of dozens of miles was in a state of commotion.

At the central military office of the Dongdu Army camp, Zheng Shanye, who had barely completed his attire, had arrived in a hurry and arrived at the central general platform. He was only a few dozen steps away from Bai Hengqiu, who was standing in the center of the general platform. However, he was standing there.

On the steps, he was so frightened that he stopped moving even half a step forward. Without him, Zheng Shanye could clearly see that Bai Hengqiu, the grand master who was probably the most powerful and powerful in the world, was simply dressed in distinctive armor.

The man was wearing complete dark armor, with a high crown and thin cloak, and was holding a long sword. He stood on the general platform with his hands on both sides, looking coldly at the Dongdu Army's camp on the right that easily collapsed after the fire.

This scene completely awakened Zheng Shanye, who was already aware of something. "Gong Bai" was by no means "careless". On the contrary, "Gong Bai" had long been aware of the matter of helping to cross the river, but chose to stand by and watch!

In a literal sense, he stood by and watched. The commander of the coalition forces and the actual commander of the Eastern Capital Army at this time just stood and watched as the army destroyed one wing of his camp.

Coupled with the previous military dispatch and personnel arrangements, Zheng Shanye had reason to suspect that the other party did this deliberately.

"General Zheng, please relax." Bai Hengqiu looked at it for a while, and finally turned around and smiled. "General Sun is only twenty miles east of the camp. At this time, he has already set out to help. He is just waiting for the main force to cross the river.

, I took action and cut open his pontoon bridge and the ice surface, causing his entire army to collapse on the shore. Han Yingong was unable to advance or retreat. I also sent the signal. He has eight thousand troops."

"Bai Gongming has seen thousands of miles and knows things like a god." Zheng Shanye knew nothing about Han Yingong, but Sun Shunde's ambush suddenly woke up. As for the ice surface, he was even more confused, but this did not delay his immediate agreement.

"We will definitely succeed in this battle!"

But after just a pause, the man couldn't help but ask again: "May I ask Mr. Bai, where is Han Yingong?" "On the other side of the river, there is an ambush dozens of miles west of the camp."

"The main force of the army has not yet crossed?"

"How dare you let them cross?" Bai Hengqiu looked at the camp on the other side again and said quietly. "If the whole army really surges up from here, even if there is no Fulong Seal, Zhang Xing, Xiong Bonan, and Thirteen King Kong

, Wu Jingfeng, Xu Shiying, these people are enough to resist me, but we are all at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the troops below.

By then, I'm afraid they will calmly break out with their entire army."

"I would like to ask Mr. Bai, how many battalions there are to help the Pioneers, and who leads them?" "Xu Shiying only leads one battalion."

"Is Xu Shiying's battalion so powerful?"

"Otherwise, how could Zhang Xing let this person take the lead and do the testing?" "That's it."

After a conversation, the two fell silent, staring blankly at the firelight of the camp on the right and the deep night at the camp on the opposite side.

However, at this time, or even earlier, they were not the only ones who set their sights on these two places:

On the other side of the river, in the Youzhou Army camp to the northwest, Luo Shu had finished putting on his armor early. At this time, he was squatting on a wooden lookout, staring straight ahead. His face was gloomy throughout the whole process, but his heart was already churning.

He said that when things came to a head, the army suddenly launched in advance, which made him a little nervous, and then he felt a trace of regret;

The narrowest camp to the west is Wang Chenkuo's position. Although he got up in a hurry and just put on his clothes, his face was also cold at this time. Then he looked at the fire on the other side of the river and the dark military camp nearby, while only holding silk and satin.

Carefully wiping his long knife;

The southwest is the original territory of the Taiyuan-Wu'an coalition forces, but the Wu'an army has already sent all its troops to the food road to the west, and the Taiyuan army has also divided its forces twice. At this time, there are only 20,000 troops left, but it is still the most timely response overall.

, their whole camp was brightly lit, shouts and orders were heard constantly, and they were ready for battle;

However, although the Wu'an army left, the Wu'an prefect Li Ding did not leave, and his wife Zhang Shiniang was also there. The couple were sitting at the back of the camp, actually having a drink with each other, if not for the two of them from time to time

They looked to the north together, almost as if they were hanging up because it had nothing to do with them;

In addition, there is the Hejian Army camp in the northeast. Xue Changxiong and his troops responded unhurriedly, almost step by step, but at this time they also began to establish a protective front, and Xue Changxiong himself

Take some time off, sit still and watch the situation change;

Finally, there is Feng Wuyi's place due north. This place is the most chaotic and noisy. This is because the troops in Feng Wuyi's camp have the most chaotic sources, the most complex positions, and the weakest combat power. Facing the sudden outbreak of war, they are the most nervous and even

Yu reached the point of panic, and Feng Wuyi himself was obviously at a loss.

Compared with these, the reactions of Han Yingong, Sun Shunde, Qu Tuda, Wei Xuanding and other soldiers and figures on the periphery can be pushed back a little.

In fact, the situation quickly changed, because the gang's second wave of attacks suddenly appeared.

Let us say that as early as when the fire broke out on the other side, thousands of troops on the north side of the battlefield used the cover of the night and the firelight and shouts of death on the other side to leave their own camps, and then quickly arrived at several coalition camps to the north.

Before the attack, they began to manually remove the antlers and push down the fences. There was no way. During the previous ten days of siege, although the coalition forces had their own thoughts and were unable to make progress, it did not delay them from setting up trenches and fences to deepen the siege.

But now, if you want to break through the surrounding coalition forces, you must carry out this work, just like you had to build a pontoon bridge before when you wanted to break out from the other side.

However, building a pontoon bridge can be carried out secretly. This kind of work is bound to alert the opponent's forward troops and engage in hand-to-hand combat at night. However, the intensity of this kind of battle does not seem to be great. The strongest reaction was from Xue Changxiong's Hejian Army in the northeast.

The camp just shouted louder and had more torches, and soon disappeared as the army retreated on its own initiative.

In the chaotic night, this kind of news meant that the top leaders of the coalition forces only knew about it. They could neither quickly communicate the information nor divert their attention from the collapse of the Dongdu military camp on the other side of the river.

But for the military, this is not the case.

At this time, directly north of the battlefield, in the muddy open space in front of Feng Wuyi's camp, an officer with a whale tile hanging on his head turned back from the front and made a report:

"Leader Zhou, move out of the way! There should be a road!"

Under a torch that had been lit without hesitation, Zhou Xingfan was neatly dressed and looked ferocious. Hearing this, he just asked coldly: "Can we move on horseback? We are all cavalry."

Behind him, there was a dense crowd of people and horses, with the sound of gold and iron, as if a large and organized army had been waiting for a long time.

"It's not easy to walk!" the officer who came to report immediately replied. "We just removed the fence and antlers, and the trench cannot be completely leveled. My subordinate suggested that according to the original plan, we should form a group of five people, with one person in charge of five horses following behind.

The remaining four people will advance forward to cross the ditch and then mount their horses to attack after entering the camp!"
