Chapter four hundred and sixty first surrounded
At midnight, everything is silent.
The Anxi Army camp was quiet and silent, with only lonely torches between the camp tents lit up the small area.
The soldiers patrolling the camp in midnight walked with their swords, and as they walked, the armor piece made a rhythmic collision sound.
The entire camp seemed to be asleep, only the roar of insects and orioles were heard.
A rebel cavalry team approached quietly. They rode on their horses and slowly approached the north of the camp. They avoided a group of Anxi soldiers patrolling outside the camp. Several quietly figures took advantage of the dark night to sneak to the wooden fence on the edge of the camp, cut off the rope that bound the fence with a dagger, and then moved the fence away. A hole was opened to the camp.
Several figures looked around alertly, and saw that it did not attract the attention of the soldiers of the Anxi Army patrol camp, so they made a gurgling sound of insects not far behind them, and then waved hard.
The rebel general who led the camp tonight was named Tian Chengsi. He was born in the Tian family of Yanmen and was one of the highest generals to follow An Lushan. Tian Chengsi's father was Tian Shouyi, deputy guardian of the Anton Protectorate.
Tian Chengsi was a powerful general with a rigorous military rule and was highly valued by An Lushan. After raising a rebellion, Tian Chengsi took the lead in capturing Luoyang, which was the first to be the best. An Lushan then left him and Gao Shang to station in Luoyang. Because of his lack of strategy, he appointed Gao Shang as the lord of the city guard.
Tonight, Tian Chengsi sneaked into the Anxi Army camp under Gao Shang's order. Tian Chengsi was quite convinced of Gao Shang. Gao Shang was indeed very smart and proved his intelligence countless times in front of him. Tian Chengsi gradually had a confused confidence in Gao Shang and trusted Gao Shang every decision without reason.
The same is true for attacking the camp tonight. Gao Shang said that the Anxi army would be exhausted from attacking the city from afar. The attacking the camp tonight would defeat the Anxi army. Tian Chengsi still believed it and asked for battle without hesitation and led the army to come in person.
Seeing several rebels cut off the ropes and opened the wooden fence from afar, Tian Chengsi was ecstatic and immediately ordered the entire army to board the horse and prepare for charge.
Before giving the order, Tian Chengsi still vigilantly observed the surrounding environment to see if something was wrong. However, everything was normal around him, the night was dark, insects and birds were singing, and wild beasts were roaring impatiently from time to time in the distant mountains and forests.
Let’s look at the Anxi Army camp. There was nothing unusual except for the torches set up between the camp tents and the soldiers patrolling back and forth. The Anxi Army seemed to be sleeping heavily, coming from afar in the early morning, and then attacking the city without stopping. I think it was really tired, and the quietness at this time was very reasonable.
Tian Chengsi observed for a while and finally confirmed that there was no ambush. So he raised his right hand high, with a ruthless look in his eyes, and then waved forward suddenly, and ten thousand cavalry rushed towards the Anxi Army camp.
The horse's hooves were wrapped in thick cloth, and there was almost no movement until the rebels rushed to the fence.
After rushing in from the open fence, Tian Chengsi finally stopped hiding his tracks and shouted loudly: "Each division sets fire in the camp tent, kills people when they see them! Split out two thousand men and follow me to attack the commander's tent, and capturing Gu Qing alive is a great achievement!"
The rebel soldiers shouted excitedly: "Capture Gu Qing alive!"
According to the division of labor before the attack on the camp, the rebels quickly divided the troops into several groups, one set fire everywhere, one held the long spear to look for the soldiers of the Anxi Army, and the other followed Tian Chengsi to attack the commander's tent.
A moment later, Tian Chengsi rushed to the door of the coach's tent and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Too quiet!
From the beginning of their rushing into the camp, splitting their troops to kill and set fire, he only heard his soldiers shouting excitedly in the camp, but did not see any of the Anxi soldiers, nor did he hear the screams or panic that should have happened.
This is not the movement that the camp should have, it is too abnormal.
In panic, Tian Chengsi used his long halberd to open the curtain of the handsome tent and found that there was no one inside, only a lonely oil lamp on the table on the main table.
Tian Chengsi finally confirmed, "I'm fooled! They have ambush!"
Tian Chengsi glared and shouted: "Go back quickly! Go back quickly! There is an ambush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, torches suddenly lit up around the camp, and the camp was surrounded without any leakage. Judging from the density of the torches, there were estimated that there were tens of thousands of people, while Tian Chengsi's rebels were surrounded in the middle of the camp.
The rebels suddenly became in chaos. At this moment, even a fool could see that he had fallen into the trap and had been surrounded by the enemy. There was no way to heaven and no way to earth.
Outside the camp, the soldiers of Anxi Army were densely packed with soldiers watching the rebels in the camp fleeing in panic and let out a terrifying howl. However, the Anxi Army was unmoved, with calm eyes and murderous intent. The rebels trapped in the camp were already prey in the eyes of Anxi Army soldiers, rewards, land and a bright future.
"Don't panic!" Tian Chengsi rode on the horse and chopped over a rebel who was running away with his head in his arms. His bloody halberd pointed at the distance and shouted loudly: "The whole army is in line, break out from the south, and line up! Otherwise, they will die!"
The rebel soldiers hurriedly lined up under Tian Chengsi's scolding.
However, the Anxi Army had already seen their reaction. Seeing that the rebels were about to line up, Chang Zhong, who was standing in the central army, drew his sword and shouted: "Bow and arrow, get on!"
The soldiers of the Five Thousand Swordsman stepped forward, pointed their fingers towards the sky, and suddenly released the bowstring at the angle of elevation. With a muffled sound, five thousand sharp arrows shot towards the rebels. In the first round, hundreds of rebels fell down.
"Shoot another arrow!" Chang Zhong shouted.
Round after round, the rebel soldiers were unable to line up at all. They were ruthlessly interrupted by the rain of arrows that were shot in a flash.
Seeing that the soldiers' robes fell one after another under the enemy's arrows, Tian Chengsi was almost vomiting blood. He kept waving his long spear and knocking off the cold arrows shot at him. He shouted shrillly: "Run out from the south! Hurry!"
The rebels braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the south to escape. They were about to speed away, but they suddenly found that there were also a square array of square formations outside the camp in the south. The soldiers in the square formation were relatively far apart, and there was almost a distance of one meter between people. Each soldier in the square formation held a long sword about three feet long and strange.
The blade of the knife is very long and the handle is also very long. It is considered a long weapon. Judging from the heavy blade of the knife back, the weight of the long sword is not light, about twenty or thirty pounds.
Each soldier stood in the square formation, wearing armor covering their bodies, and even an iron mask on his helmet, only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, and he was quietly watching the rebels about to rush out.
The rebels stopped, and the knowledgeable rebels yelled in horror after looking at it.
"Mo Dao! They are Mo Dao's hands! Retreat!"
The rebels in front retreated desperately, but the rebels behind were unaware of it. They were eager to find a way out in the encirclement, so they squeezed forward hard, and the rebels became even more chaotic for a moment.

Tian Chengsi, who fell to the end, was not aware of the situation. The scene was too chaotic and he could not know the situation ahead. Seeing the rebels crowded in the fence, Tian Chengsi was furious and picked up a long spear to kill a rebel who was running away in a panic, shouting: "When is it? Don't you rush out yet, wait for death? If you dare to delay and shirk responsibility, you will be killed!"
Under Tian Chengsi's strict military orders, the rebels had to bite the bullet and rush towards Mo Dao's square formation.
Next to the Modao Square, Li Siye raised the order flag high, with a cruel light flashing in his eyes. The order flag suddenly waved down and shouted: "Modao Camp, come in!"
Three thousand swords were waving neatly, and the sound of ghosts and gods cried in the air. The flat open space outside the camp was instantly airtight. In the square formation that was tightly slit, a sharp murderous aura surged with the air, like an invisible knife scraping every inch of the skin of the rebel soldiers.
Next to the square formation, Li Siye waved another flag, and the square formation of Modao slowly advanced forward. Every step they took was very heavy, and the neat armor leaves hit, like three thousand ruthless war machines, starting to move, like a group of evil ghosts crawling out of hell, coming to the world and dragging the living people into hell.
The rebel soldiers were all distracted, but there were also brave men who did not believe in evil. Although the Modao formation in front of them was amazing, they had already reached this point. If they didn't rush out, they would be shot to death by the bow and arrow behind them. So they gritted their teeth and roared: "It's better to have a fight than to kill one, and they might be able to survive!"
Many brave rebels behind also followed suit.
"Run over!"
More than a dozen rebels rushed towards the Modao square formation first. As soon as they rushed into the first row of the square formation, they heard more than a dozen shrill screams, and then they were silent.
The moment more than a dozen people entered the square formation, they were cut into meat sauce by the constantly dancing Modao. They had no time to scream, and their bodies were split into pieces and scattered everywhere in the square formation, and they could not even be able to fight.
Li Siye yelled: "Modao Camp, come in again!"
Mo Dao was still waving, and Mo Dao's hands took neat steps and slowly moved forward. Every step they took would be a general to issue an order, and each step was part of the army's array attack.
More than a dozen rebels who were unbeliever rushed over. They were wearing thick iron armor, protecting their heads with both hands, shouted loudly, and rushed into the square with their heads in their arms.
This time they lived a long life. When they rushed to the second row, the dozen people died under Mo Dao. After a fierce attack between Mo Dao and the armor, the armor scattered and the bodies became blocks.
At this time, Tian Chengsi finally saw the square formation of the Modao outside the fence. After seeing their killing speed with his own eyes, he couldn't help but take a breath and his face became increasingly ugly.
"Mo Daozhe... Anxi Army actually has so many Mo Daozhe! Gu Qing... How rich is his family background?" Tian Chengsi murmured in disgrace.
An Lushan commanded 150,000 troops from three towns. In fact, there were also generals who suggested forming the Modao Camp back then. However, An Lushan hesitated for a while, and it was still there.
Although the imperial court was continuously supplied to the three towns before the rebellion, An Lushan still could not afford a large-scale Modao Camp. It was too expensive. Modao Camp could only be exclusive to the rich, and even if the family had a weaker family, you would not even think about it.
An Xi army in front of him appeared in a Modao camp. It seemed that there were thousands of people. Even Tian Chengsi, who was surrounded by enemies, could not help but be amazed at Gu Qing's big move at this moment.
