Chapter 43: The Fierce General Liu Sandao
In the cold night, flames rose up.
Tao Qian's rear camp, which was in a deep sleep, was awakened by the explosion at this moment.
The troops stationed in the rear camp were not elite to begin with, and when they were suddenly attacked, they were completely disorganized.
In panic, they rushed around like wolves and pigs, and the camp was completely blown up!
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry carried out murder and arson in an organized manner and set tents on fire.
They all shouted in unison: "Xiliang Huaxiong is here!"
Hua Xiong has become very powerful during this period of time.
Under such circumstances, his name being shouted out further intensified the panic of Tao Qian's troops.
Many people just felt their legs and feet were so sore, how could they dare to resist?
They all moved away from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which seemed like a divine force sent from the sky!
However, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, following Hua Xiong's orders, did not continue to kill people. Instead, they drove Tao Qian's soldiers, who were controlling the bombings, towards the central camp.
The purpose was very obvious, which was to use these soldiers to attack Tao Qian's camp and completely disrupt the entire camp.
In the firelight, Hua Xiong was riding on a warhorse, with his three-pointed, double-edged sword already hanging on his head, and in his hand he was holding a large bow with a feather arrow on it.
His sharp eyes scanned the place like an eagle.
Although the battlefield seemed chaotic at this moment, in Hua Xiong's eyes, it seemed to be orderly amidst the chaos.
The entire battlefield was under his control.
“Go back! Go back!!”
The soldiers and horses arranged by Tao Qian in the rear camp were not all useless. Some generals realized the seriousness of the matter and also realized Hua Xiong's purpose.
He roared desperately, trying to stop the soldiers who were rushing towards the central camp.
Because he knew that once these chaotic troops were allowed to rush into the central camp, they would have been completely defeated this time, and there would be no room for recovery!
While shouting desperately, he was also swinging the weapon in his hand vigorously. In an instant, he killed four or five of his soldiers.
His hacking and killing had some effect, making the fleeing soldiers in front of him a little more sober, and their fierce escape slowed down a little.
But that’s where it ends.
“Zheng!”
The sound of a bowstring vibrating suddenly rang out, and a feather arrow shot out from the darkness and pierced his throat directly.
The general rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
As he fell to the ground, the slight delay he caused disappeared without a trace...
Hua Xiong pulled out another feather arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring.
Sharp eyes continued to scan.
While taking a quick look, he moved forward with the defeated army.
He would draw his bow and shoot arrows from time to time, killing the bandits who tried to stop the fleeing soldiers.
After Hua Xiong shot and killed eight people in a row, no one dared to stand up and stop the fleeing soldiers.
These defeated soldiers poured into the central camp like a flood...
Tao Qian was awakened by his personal soldiers in the tent of the central army. He did not have time to put on his shoes and hurriedly ran out of the tent.
There were cries of killing everywhere, and flames shot up into the sky from the rear camp.
Tao Qian suddenly felt cold all over and his face turned pale!
"Quick! Quickly have Captain Sandao lead his troops to block the rear camp. We must not let the defeated soldiers rush into the middle camp!!"
Tao Qian didn't have time to think about why there was an explosion in his rear camp. He just shouted and gave orders.
His order at this time was undoubtedly correct.
“Yes!”
After he finished speaking, a general who came hurriedly, before he even reached Tao Qian, hurriedly picked up Tao Qian and saluted him.
Without saying anything more, he drew the sword from his waist, called on his soldiers, and headed towards the rear camp.
This man was named Liu Dao. He was very big and strong and extremely brave. He used to be a bandit general among the Yellow Turbans, but was later subdued by Tao Qian and used by him.
I have great respect for Tao Qian.
Seeing that he was obedient, extremely brave, and had extraordinary fighting ability, Tao Qian promoted him all the way to become a captain under his command.
Because he wielded a large knife in his hand and often carried two short knives on his back, and when he fought with others, the outcome would usually be decided within three strikes, so people called him Liu Sandao.
And he was happy for everyone to call him that.
Tao Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his brave general Liu Sandao leading his troops quickly to block the people in the rear camp.
I hope Liu Sandao can stop it.
As long as it can be blocked, there is still room for recovery.
It is even possible to entangle Hua Xiong and eventually keep him here!
Although Hua Xiong is brave, his most powerful general, Liu Sandao, is no pushover either.
If we meet on the battlefield, perhaps we can kill Hua Xiong!
Thinking of this, Tao Qian turned his gaze towards the front camp and saw that there was some movement there, as if some soldiers were coming this way.
Tao Qian's face changed drastically.
"Quick! Go to the front camp and tell them not to come to rescue!
Even if the sky falls, the rear camp and the middle camp are not allowed to come over, just defend the front camp with all your might! "
He spoke rapidly, his voice distorted because he was so excited and anxious.
The personal soldiers around him received the order and immediately ran towards the front camp to convey Tao Qian's order.
Tao Qian stood here barefoot, staring at the front camp, waiting for the result, hoping that there would be no chaos in the front camp.
Tao Qian also fought in wars when he was young. Although he was not a famous general, he was not unfamiliar with the art of war.
At least among the eighteen princes, he is at an upper-middle level.
According to common sense, Hua Xiong should have attacked the front camp, but now he directly blew up his own rear camp.
There is a high probability that there will be ambushes in the front camp.
If the front camp is in chaos and the soldiers come to rescue the rear camp, those ambushes will take advantage of the situation to attack and the situation will be irreversible!
Even if there are no ambush outside the front camp, the best way to deal with it at this time is to respond to all changes with the same attitude.
The soldiers from the front camp should not come to rescue, but defend the front camp on the spot. As long as the front camp can be stabilized, the defeat will not be too complete.
As Tao Qian watched anxiously, he saw soldiers with torches in the front camp coming quickly towards here.
After a moment, the large group of soldiers stopped and then quickly turned around and went back.
This should be the general who led the troops to the rescue. He met the personal soldiers he sent over and learned of his orders.
This should have been a joyous thing, but Tao Qian suddenly reached out and slapped himself hard on the head.
In the middle of the night, the camp was suddenly attacked. The soldiers from the front camp rushed to rescue, but the people were already panicking and the army formation was in disarray.
At this point, when they were halfway through the journey, the order suddenly changed and they ordered them to return on the spot, which directly made the already already chaotic army formation even more chaotic.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the front camp, hoping that Hua Xiong had not set up an ambush.
If not, the middle camp can hold on, and the defeated soldiers in the rear camp will not be able to reach the front camp for a while, and there is still a chance to reorganize the troops, so it won't be a big problem.
But if there are ambushes, and they rush out to attack the front camp at this time, we will be really finished!
Yu Jin did not disappoint Tao Qian. Taking advantage of Tao Qian's mood, he led the ambush troops to attack.
Take advantage of the chaos to attack Tao Qian's front camp!
