One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 318 Night Battle

It was late at night, and Hua Xiong's barracks was very quiet.The only sound that can be heard, apart from the footsteps of patrolling soldiers, is the sound of soldiers sleeping soundly.

In the Chinese army's tent, Hua Xiong and Li Su were still up, they were both drinking.

"Zhengde, drink this bowl of wine with me again!" Hua Xiong raised his wine bowl towards Li Su with his tongue out.He was obviously a little drunk, the hands of the short bowl were shaking, and the wine in the bowl was spilling.

"Zhongjie, you're drunk, you can't drink anymore, in case you delay military affairs..." Although Li Su's cheeks flushed from drinking, he was much more sober than Hua Xiong.

"Fucking military affairs!" Hua Xiong became angry when he heard Li Su's words, and he slammed the wine bowl on the table, spilling most of the wine in the bowl.

"You and I were arranged to come here by General Niu. In name, it was for us to contain Qin Yi and Yang Feng. In fact, it was because we were not pleasing to the eye. That's why we were allowed to stay here. This is a poor place where we can fight. It's strange to fight!"

Li Su smiled wryly and said: "You can't say that. Didn't General Niu say that, as long as we contain the enemy army here for ten days and let him reach the Tianjing Pass smoothly, it will be a great achievement."

"Fart!" Hua Xiong yelled, "Niu Fu deliberately didn't allow us to make great contributions. Speaking of which, you and I are not directly related to Niu Fu, so naturally they won't reuse us."

Speaking of this, Hua Xiong suddenly burst into tears: "Oh, it's better when I was with the Commander-in-Chief Hu. Although General Hu has a bad temper, he really took care of me Hua Xiong. Whenever there is a war, someone must be the vanguard. Unfortunately, General Hu was shot to death by Qin Yi!"

As soon as he opened the chatter box, Hua Xiong couldn't hold it back, and regardless of whether Li Su listened to him attentively, he continued: "When I mention Qin Yi, I hate him so much. He played tricks on me several times last year. Let me lose all face. If it wasn't for Qin Yi, how could I be in such a state where I don't care for my mother?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly clenched his fist with one hand and slammed it on the table: "I really want to lead my troops to kill the other side and kill Qin Yi!"

"No!" Li Su immediately dissuaded him, "Zhongjie, Qin Yi is not easy to provoke. Our task is to contain Qin Yi. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to start a war with us, we don't need to provoke him."

"Oh, I'm just complaining." Hua Xiong suddenly sighed, "The power of Qin Yi is only clear to me and Lu Bu. I'm not afraid of making fun of you when I tell you that Qin Yi personally led the army here to fight with me. When the army confronted each other, I was taken aback!"

"Then you just..."

"Oh, I'm not reconciled. I can't. I will hide from Qin Yi in the future. If there is a chance, I still want to fuck him. I don't believe it. I will lose every time I meet Qin Yi!"

At this moment, a soldier entered the tent and reported to Hua Xiong on one knee, "Report to Captain, the enemy army on the opposite side has suddenly pulled out their camp and seems to be retreating overnight."

"What?!" Hua Xiong stood up when he heard it. "You said Qin Yi was going to withdraw his troops?"

"They are pulling out the camp noisily, and they should be withdrawing their troops." The soldier replied.

Hua Xiong immediately looked at Li Su: "What kind of madness is Qin Yi going? Why did he leave the camp overnight?"

Li Su thought for a while, and said: "Probably, he learned that General Niu had changed his marching route, and wanted to withdraw his troops back to the city, and then send troops to support Tianjingguan."

"Well, it's very possible." Hua Xiong nodded.

He remained silent for a while, and suddenly raised his brows: "It's a good opportunity, while Qin Yi is out of the camp, defenseless, we might as well fuck him all at once."

Li Su frowned, and after pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "What if Qin Yi deliberately lured our army to cross the river to attack?"

"Go, go and have a look!" Hua Xiong walked up to Li Su in a few steps, pulled him up, and walked out.

………………

A quarter of an hour later, Hua Xiong and Li Su came to the river on horseback and looked towards Qin Yi's camp on the opposite bank.

Although it was nearly ten miles away from Qin Yi's camp, Hua Xiong and Li Su could also see the busyness there.Qin Yi's camp was brightly lit, with flickering figures.

"Have you checked clearly, are they really pulling out the camp?" Hua Xiong asked the scout captain who followed him here.

The captain of the scout replied: "We found that there was a change in the enemy's camp, so I personally took a few brothers across the river and quietly approached for reconnaissance. We didn't see the enemy's security post until we reached two miles away from the enemy's camp. They are indeed pulling out the camp, and they seem to be in a hurry, and there is constant yelling in the barracks."

"The enemy didn't send a guard post?" Li Su frowned when he heard what the scout captain said.

"They didn't send a guard post in the distance, but a mile away from the barracks, there was another cavalry team of nearly a thousand people guarding." The scout captain said.

"Haha, that's right!" Hua Xiong grinned, "Qin Yi and Yang Fengding are in a hurry to return to the city. God help me, tonight is a good time to beat Qin Yi and make a name for yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Li Su immediately said: "But, our task is only to contain the enemy army, there is no need to attack them actively."

Hua Xiong said: "At this time and at that time, if we don't attack them, let them retreat back to Xiangling City calmly, and then send troops to Tianjingguan, our mission will still fail."

Li Su thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Then harass and slow down the enemy's withdrawal."

"Okay, let's go back to the camp, quietly wake up the brothers, and cross the river!" Hua Xiong said.

"Zhongjie, we can't cross the river directly from here." Li Su said.

"Why?" Hua Xiong asked puzzled.

"We have more than 3000 people. Once we cross the river, we will make a lot of noise, which will inevitably be discovered by the enemy." Li Su explained, "We might as well choose a place farther away from here to cross the river. We are all cavalry. The marching speed is fast, and we will definitely be able to return before dawn. At that time, the enemy army is almost packed up, and it is the most relaxed time."

"Okay, just do as you say."

Hua Xiong and Li Su immediately returned to the camp to dispatch troops.

Just at the place where Hua Xiong and Li Su had just stopped, two figures suddenly stood up in the river a few meters in front of them.

"I'm freezing to death. If these guys don't leave, I'll drown." One of them said tremblingly.

Another person said: "Don't complain, it's God who let us do meritorious deeds, can you hear what they just said?"

"The sound of the water flow is too noisy, I can't hear it very clearly, but I can still hear the meaning."

"They said they were going to find a place to cross the river and attack us?" asked another.

"Right, that is it."

"Go, go back to the camp and report to the lord."

The two held hands and waded across the water towards the north bank.

It turned out that these were two scouts from Qin Yi's army. They were originally sent by Qin Yi to the opposite bank to observe Hua Xiong's movements. The two immediately hid in the river, leaving only their heads to breathe on the water.

The vision was poor at night, Hua Xiong, Li Su and others came to the river, and they were all focused on the distant military camp, they didn't even notice that there were actually two people hiding in the river.The conversation between Hua Xiong and Li Su happened to be overheard by these two scouts.
