Chapter 1077 A Terrifying Scene Appeared
Zhang Xu asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, where is Ning Chen's baggage camp?"
The scout said: "General, their baggage camp is passing through Fenglin Gorge."
Bai Yixian and Zhang Xu looked at each other.
Bai Yixian sneered, "This Ning Chen is really as cunning as a fox."
Zhang Xu nodded and agreed, "If we hadn't waited patiently for a day, I'm afraid we would have missed Ning Chen's baggage camp.
Ning Chen, this insidious and cunning thing, didn't let the baggage camp follow the army all the time."
Bai Yixian sneered again and again, "Ning Chen is too smart for his own good, which gives us an opportunity.
Now, Ning Chen's baggage camp is 20 miles away from the main force. Even if we kill all the people in the baggage camp and rob all the food and grass, Ning Chen is out of reach and can only watch."
Zhang Xu asked the scout, "How many people are there in Ning Chen's baggage camp?"
"General, about 10,000 people."
Zhang Xu was overjoyed, "God really helps me! Follow this general's order and prepare to attack!"
Bai Yixian also ordered the army to assemble and prepare to attack Ning Chen's baggage camp.
.......
The night is dark.
Ten thousand troops escorted food, weapons and other supplies through Fenglin Gorge.
Behind the hills next to them, pairs of eyes were staring at them.
The general of the baggage camp was called Zhuo Chi.
Nowadays, the young generals are recommended by Yuan Long and others, and promoted by Ning Chen.
This Zhuo Chi was recommended by Qi Yuanzhong. He was a descendant of a general family and very capable.
Zhuo Chi instinctively felt the danger. He glanced at the hills in the distance and always felt that there were pairs of greedy eyes watching him.
Zhuo Chi shouted loudly: "Everyone pay attention to alert. It's difficult to march in the dark. Stay five miles forward to rest!"
As soon as Zhuo Chi finished speaking, there was a sudden shout of killing.
"Kill, kill..."
The horses' hooves clanged and the ground shook.
Under the night, the dark cavalry came like a dark cloud.
This sudden change made the baggage camp led by Zhuo Chi panic.
Zhuo Chi looked at the enemy cavalry rushing over with a fierce look in his eyes.
The enemy had more people than them and was very powerful.
Zhuo Chi said sternly: "Messenger, pass on my order. Don't worry about the supplies. Retreat to Fenglin Gorge immediately."
When Bai Yixian and Zhang Xu led their men to rush over, Zhuo Chi was leading his men to retreat, throwing away their armor and weapons, looking very embarrassed.
Zhang Xu laughed at this.
Bai Yixian looked disdainful, "It seems that except for the Ning'an Army, all the others under Ning Chen's command are trash."
Zhang Xu asked, "Do you want to chase them?"
Bai Yixian waved his hand, "A group of frightened trash, it's not worth our effort."
He looked at the food and grass in the twenty or thirty carriages and frowned slightly, "Why is there so little?"
Zhang Xu nodded, "I also find it strange. How can there be so little food and grass for an army of hundreds of thousands?"
Bai Yixian said, "Maybe it will be transported in batches. No matter what, take these food and grass back first.
These food and grass are enough for us to hold on for a while."
Zhang Xu couldn't help laughing, "With these food and grass, we can continue to ambush... As long as we block Fenglin Gorge and prevent the supply of food and grass, Ning Chen's hundreds of thousands of troops will have no food and grass. It would be strange if they don't mutiny. There will definitely be a big mess."
Bai Yixian nodded, "General Zhang is right. Come on, take the food and grass away."
But just as they were about to take the food and grass away, the ground shook slightly and the horses' hooves clanged.
In the dark night, dust was flying like a dragon of earth.
Zhuo Chi, who had just escaped, led his men back to fight.
He brought few people, only three thousand cavalrymen.
Bai Yixian and Zhang Xu were shocked at first, but when they found out by the moonlight that the other side had only two or three thousand people, they showed disdain.
Bai Yixian looked at Zhuo Chi, who was wearing armor and holding a sharp sword and leading the way, and said, "This man is a real man."
Zhang Xu said disdainfully, "Humph, you don't know your own strength... You fled without fighting, lost food and grass, and you can't escape military punishment when you go back. Now you pretend to resist, and the punishment will be lighter when you go back.
This man is called Zhuo Chi, he is just a waste, not worth mentioning!"
Zhang Xu knew Zhuo Chi, and both of them had served in the Weilong Army and had never dealt with each other.
Zhang Xu was good at flattery and fawning.
Zhuo Chi was a descendant of a general, upright and incorruptible, and he hated people like Zhang Xu the most.
So, the two of them couldn't stand each other.
"General Bai, you lead the people to transport food and grass, and I will lead the people to deal with this Zhuo Chi."
Bai Yixian was happy with this, and said hypocritically: "Then... General Zhang, be careful!"
Zhang Xu said: "It's just a Zhuo Chi, not worth mentioning at all, watch me take his head to drink."
At this time, Zhuo Chi was already within a hundred steps.
Zhang Xu was about to order an attack, but he saw Zhuo Chi's troops suddenly stopped.
Zhang Xu was slightly startled, then his face was full of disdain, and he sneered: "Cowardly bandit, this general has said that he is just pretending to resist and trying to escape military punishment."
Immediately, he shouted loudly: "Zhuo Chi, do you still remember me?"
Zhuo Chi said coldly: "He is just a traitor who forgot his ancestors."
Zhang Xu was furious, "Zhuo Chi, Emperor De is the orthodox... Emperor An is just a useless weak woman, and Ning Chen forced her to the throne.
You actually pledge allegiance to a woman, it's ridiculous!"
Zhuo Chi sneered repeatedly, "Emperor De is also orthodox, he is just an abandoned emperor... You are just stray dogs driven out of the capital by the regent."
Zhang Xu was furious and roared: "Zhuo Chi, you are looking for death!"
Zhuo Chi sneered, "Are you angry now? But... you are the one who is really looking for death."
As he spoke, Zhuo Chi waved his hand.
The three thousand cavalrymen took off their bows and arrows, dismounted, and quickly formed a battle array.
The three thousand cavalrymen instantly became archers.
Especially the archers in the front row, who used not ordinary arrows but rockets, with cloth strips soaked in tung oil wrapped around the arrowheads.
Seeing the cavalrymen become archers, Bai Yixian and Zhang Xu's faces suddenly changed.
Zhang Xu shouted, "Soldiers, follow this general to charge... kill them all."
If they let the other side have room, they will definitely suffer a large number of casualties.
Zhuo Chi sneered and shouted, "Shoot!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
The rain of arrows rushed over with the sound of breaking through the air.
The first row of archers using rockets had a clear goal, not to shoot people, but to shoot the carriages carrying food and grass.
The rockets fell on the carriages, and the food and grass began to burn.
Other archers suppressed Zhang Xu's cavalry.
At one time, many people were shot by arrows and fell off their horses, screaming incessantly.
Bai Yixian frowned slightly, and was about to divide his troops into two groups, attacking from the left and right, which could easily swallow Zhuo Chi's 3,000 troops.
But before he could give the order, a terrifying scene appeared.
Boom boom boom!!!
The carriages carrying food and grass exploded.
In the earth-shaking explosion, flames swept and smoke billowed.
The enemy soldiers around the carriages were blown to pieces before they could even react.
For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and shrill screams resounded through the sky.
