Chapter 1314 Preparing for a Night Attack

After Huangfu Chaobo led Guo Jia and others back to the city, Xu Huang led his guards and stood on the city tower, staring at the direction where the Zahu coalition forces left. It took a long time to come back to his senses, and then looked back at the city again. , said softly: "If you treat me with the courtesy of a countryman, I will definitely repay you with death."

After saying this, Xu Huang looked at the city with a firm gaze, and said to his bodyguard: "Follow me to patrol the city!"

"Promise! General!" All the guards agreed in unison.

Although Xu Huang was a new general, Huangfu Chaobo followed him when arranging the defense. Moreover, Huangfu Chaobo also asked Xu Huang several times about how to deal with it, and Xu Huang also knew everything. There is no end to it, so Xu Huang is very clear about the arrangements for the war in Baitu City and the specific situation of the city's defense.

In the next time, what Xu Huang has to do is to inspect the preparations of the defense facilities on the four walls of the city and whether the arrangements for the defense of the soldiers are in place, so that he can have peace of mind.

It was not until the beginning of the first watch that Xu Huang carefully inspected the entire city wall and returned to the county government office in the city. After waiting for the notification, Xu Huang entered a small hall in the inner hall to meet Huangfu Chaobo.

Seeing Xu Huang coming in, Huangfu Chaobo smiled and said: "Gongming is back. I was just saying that I didn't see you at dinner. I was thinking of sending someone to call you back. The war is about to start. You are a general. You can’t be so careless about your body.”

"I have gained the king's trust and appointed a general as the general. Qineng is not conscientious, otherwise how can he be worthy of the king's trust." Xu Huang knelt down, bowed, and replied respectfully;

"Okay, there are no outsiders here at this time, so Gongming doesn't need to be polite. Judging from the situation, Gongming should be patrolling the city. Are all the preparations on the city wall in place?"

"Back to the king, everything has been as discussed by the king and the two military advisors. All the city walls have been prepared. However, the last general saw that the generals outside the city had been in the east city for the longest time, and their army was still there. It came from the northeast, so it was inferred that the East City would be the focus of Zahu's attack tomorrow, so the defense of the East City was strengthened. "

Huangfu Chaobo heard this and smiled and said to Guo Jia and Guo Jia: "Well, I just said that with General Xu's ability, he will definitely consider strengthening the defense of Dongcheng."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Guo and Fa responded quickly with a smile;

"Okay, you don't need to say any more. It's better to seize the time to discuss the military situation with General Xu. The war will start tomorrow. If the battle in Baitu City goes well, it will be much easier for the army to fight in the future. "Huangfu Chaobo smiled and waved at the two of them;

"However, Gongming probably hasn't had dinner yet. Gu has already been prepared, so Gongming should have dinner first before talking." After saying that, he ignored Xu Huang's refusal and immediately ordered the dinner that had been prepared to be served. Come up. Seeing that Xu Huang couldn't refuse, he had no choice but to solemnly thank him and finish his dinner quickly in the house.

After Xu Huang finished his dinner in three strokes, Huangfu Chaobo ordered people to remove the table, and then brought several refreshments that had been prepared for everyone. The four of them discussed tomorrow's war for the last time. Come.

Several people were discussing. At this moment, Dian Wei from outside the house loudly reported: "Your Majesty, General Shi is outside asking for an audience."

Huangfu Chaobo looked at the map in front of him without raising his head and said: "Quickly pass!"

While talking, the door of the room was opened, and Shi A walked in from the outside, saluted Huangfu Chaobo and said: "Your Majesty, I just personally led people to explore the Zahu coalition camp ten miles away, and now I am here to report to your Majesty. Exploring information.”

When several people heard this, they all stopped and turned their attention from the map to Shi A. Huangfu Chaobo looked at Shi Adao with interest: "Oh, General Shi actually went out in person. How is the investigation going?"

"Your Majesty, I thought that there should be capable people among the miscellaneous barbarians, especially that Xiongnu Chanyu, but I didn't expect that their defenses would be so lax.

Shi A chuckled;

As he spoke, he explained in detail the information he had gathered to several people. Judging from his personal investigation, the defense of the Zahu camp could be said to be shockingly lax. Although there are some patrol posts within two miles of the camp, they are also scattered patrol posts. Shi Aji and others can easily go around them, and the number of patrol posts two miles away is even less. amazing. Inside the camp, the defenses were even more loose.

Several different tribes were divided into several different camps and settled down. Judging from the situation in each camp, there was still some precaution among the tribes. Although the defense of these camps was remarkable in the eyes of General Zahu, in front of Han generals like Shi A, they were a bunch of scumbags.

Although Shi A is not a general, he has experienced dozens of battles with Huangfu Chaobo. Even though his command ability is limited, his vision is not bad. So after exploring the Zahu camp easily, I immediately rushed back to the city to report to Huangfu Chaobo.

After hearing Shi'a's report, everyone in the room's eyes lit up.

Huangfu Chaobo smiled and said to Xu Huang: "Gongming, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go down immediately to arrange the night attack, and I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." Xu Huang stood up, bowed and saluted, and replied;

Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand and said, "Go and do your work."

Xu Huang saluted again, then turned and left.

Half an hour later, 10,000 cavalrymen quietly left the south gate of Baitu City and headed towards the Zahu camp in the northeast. Originally, Huangfu Chaobo's idea was to send out all 20,000 cavalrymen, but after Xu Huang learned about the defense situation of the Zahu coalition, he changed his mind and divided the 20,000 cavalrymen into two waves to attack separately.

In the coalition camp, Huchuquan was discussing tomorrow's battle with Xubuguduhou and Qianrendu. Hubuguduhou said: "Chanyu, the defense of the coalition camp seems to be too lax. What if the Tang army attacks overnight?"

Huchuquan sighed and said: "Do you think I don't want to? I have sent people to remind them again and again, but some people think that we have so many cavalrymen, and the Tang army has only more than 20,000 cavalrymen. How dare they send troops to attack at night? Now the only plan is for our own soldiers to take strict precautions, at least to ensure the safety of our own camp. Fortunately, our camp is in the north of the entire camp and does not face the Tang army directly, so we just need to be careful."
