Chapter 249: The Enemy Attacks the Camp
The tents of the Qiantun and Houjin armies stretched for several miles, and groups of patrolling cavalry crossed from time to time, and some dozen or so people gathered in a pile, lit a bonfire and roasted beef and mutton, and the fat fell on the flames, making a sound of "bang-la-la-la".

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yue Zhen sat behind the handsome case, although he had not worn armor at this time, his burly figure still showed a majestic image.
After listening to the scout's report, Yue Zhi put a hand-copied version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand on the division's case, walked to a sheepskin map hanging on the side, squinted his eyes for a long time, and said to himself: "This Zhao Shujiao is really familiar with military books, and he camped and chose a place, actually according to the way of Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, relying on the mountains behind him and on the right side, if he encounters an accident, he can retreat to the mountain and condescendingly. And on the left side and in front of the water, even if we sneak attack, we must first cross the river, and the river beach has no shelter, and if we force our way through, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. ”
At this time, a man with a height of seven feet, a big brain and a thick neck, dark skin, and a big beard stood up and said to Yue Xu: "Since we rushed over and suffered heavy casualties, then we will wait for the rabbits and let them suffer heavy losses when they come." ”
Yue Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Haoge, do you think that Zhao Sect, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, crossed the river so easily?" ”
Without waiting for Hauge to speak, Sakhalian stood up and asked thoughtfully, "Do you mean that Zhao Shujiao is waiting for other reinforcements and using the time when we are fighting with other teams to cross the river to fight us?" ”
Yue Zhen nodded: "Beat the drums and gather the generals, we must not give Zhao Shujiao a chance to breathe, take advantage of their reinforcements to arrive, eat this team first." ”
"There is a river blocking the way, we will suffer heavy losses, if we take the initiative to attack, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to our army!" Sakhalian said with a worried expression.
Yue Zhen raised his hand and pressed it: "The army is moving forward, opening roads in the mountains, building bridges when encountering water, if it is stopped by a small river, what kind of battle will it take?" Armor the horses at the front, and shield all the soldiers, as long as they cross the river, most of them are infantry, and we can crush them with a single charge. In this way, even if we lose a little man, we can kill a new force of the Ming army, and for the entire battle situation, our loss is not a loss. ”
After listening to Yue Zhen's words, the two of them didn't say anything more, saluted Yue Zhen, and then turned around and walked out of the big tent.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was not much time, and a hurried war drum sounded.
With the beating of the three-way drum, one by one the generals came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Seeing that the people had arrived, Yue Zhi was not hypocritical, and said straight to the point: "Order the generals at all levels to let the soldiers eat and rest well, and the whole army of the third watch will be dispatched to raid the military camp taught by Zhao Shujiao." ”
As Baylor and the commander of the three armies, Yue Zhen's words are military orders, and not many people refute them, and they all give gifts to the golden ceremony.
"Chirp ......"
The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that Ling Yun at this time, when he was close to Zhao Shujiao's military camp for ten miles, he saw torches all over the mountains and fields in the distance, and they were particularly conspicuous under the night sky, just like the stars of the Milky Way in the sky.
After frowning and looking at it for a long time, Ling Yun smiled bitterly and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "I can't imagine that the place where we are going to set up camp is being taken by others, what does Brother Jiutai think we should do?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng was also helpless for a while, shook his head, and pointed to the hillsides on both sides: "Since there are already people stationed in front, then we will temporarily rest in the woods on the slopes on both sides, and wait until tomorrow dawn to observe the terrain and find a place to camp." ”
"Huh! Then do as Brother Jiutai said! After speaking, Ling Yun turned to Tang Ying behind him and said, "Order the three armies to rest on the slopes on both sides, let the brothers hide well, and don't make too much movement, so as not to be mistaken for the Houjin army after being discovered by friendly troops." ”
"Yes!"
The night gradually darkened, and the crescent moon on the horizon had already set down the mountain, and under the dark night sky, tens of thousands of troops camped down, breaking the tranquility under the night sky.
Piles of bonfires in the barracks "crackled" incessantly, and the flames swayed from side to side in the breeze.
In the front camp, at the edge of the fence at the entrance of the camp, Chen Donglai and the girl sat in front of a bonfire, each holding a wooden stick in their hands, baking the nest head inserted in the wooden stick.
Chen Donglai took a bite of the roasted somewhat dry nest head, and a crisp "Gaba Gaba" sound came out of his mouth.
chewing on the nest head, his mouth was a little vague and said, "Hmm! Brother Hua, somehow, I always feel a little uneasy today. ”
"Huh! Brother Chen doesn't feel like he is going to fight, so he is nervous! The girl said with some jokingness.
"Cut, I, Chen Donglai, have been in battle for a long time, and I don't know how long the days of licking blood have passed, will I still be nervous?" Chen Donglai put the nest head in his hand on a wooden stick next to him, stood up, lifted his pants and said, "Don't steal my nest head, I'll go and release the water first." ”
Seeing that Chen Donglai was about to solve it on the spot, the girl hurriedly shouted: "Go farther, go farther......"
"Hahaha, they're all big men, why are you like a girl? Sometimes I think you're a woman......"
Although Chen Dong said that he was interested, the girl listened attentively, first stunned slightly, and then stammered and said with a look of grievance: "People are women, but I am eating here now, and you pee on the side, and you don't pay attention to hygiene at all......"
Chen Donglai shook his head, smiled at the girl and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go outside the fence!" ”
"Shhhh......h
Chen Donglai walked outside the fence, twitching all over his body to sprinkle the rootless water to the edge of the fence, and as soon as he lifted his pants, he heard the sound of "banging" water not far away.
Squinting his eyes, Chen Donglai tied his torn trouser belt around his waist and looked intently at the river.
Because of the darkness of the night, Chen Donglai couldn't see what kind of scene was on the river beach. But the sound of the rubble colliding back and forth made Chen Donglai's heart rise to his throat all of a sudden.
"Not good! Enemy attack on the camp ......"
Chen Donglai lifted his pants, didn't even tie his belt, turned around and shouted as he ran towards the barracks, and his gong-like voice instantly woke up the sleeping soldiers around him.
"Woo Woo ......"
was shouted by Chen Donglai, and the people on the river beach also knew that they had been discovered, and the bowstring sounded, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded instantly, and the dense rain of arrows was overwhelming.
The girl who was roasting the nest by the bonfire was shocked when she heard the sound like a tide, and immediately shouted loudly: "Hide ......"
As he spoke, the man had already rolled on the spot and hid behind the fence.
Although the night was too dark to see the arrows in the sky, the sound of breaking through the air like a tide made people's hairs stand on end.
And Chen Donglai didn't care about his unfastened trouser belt, so he rushed into the camp gate like a four-legged roll, hiding behind the fence.
"Whew...... Call...... Damn, I almost can't come back. ”
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" The girl glanced at Chen Donglai and asked.
"It's okay......" Chen Donglai agreed a little breathlessly.
"Then what shall we do......" Before the girl could finish speaking, a rain of arrows shot into the barracks.
"Wow......"
Arrows were fired at the barricade, and the tail of the arrow swayed from side to side. Some soldiers who could not escape were taken away from their lives and fell to the ground, and those who were not killed on the spot screamed and wailed.
"Don't panic, find cover......" I don't know who shouted? Most of the soldiers hid behind bunkers.
The big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, was awakened from his sleep, lifted the quilt and stood up, wearing a thin pajamas, not even wearing armor, and hurriedly walked outside the lobby, looked condescendingly towards the silver door, and put everything in front.
At this time, one by one, the generals came to Zhao Shujiao's side in a hurry: "General, the enemy attacked the camp......
Quietly staring at the gate of the camp, Zhao Shujiao did not have any unnecessary emotional fluctuations on his face, and said to the generals beside him: "I knew that they had this hand, and the general had already made Ji Yong ready." ”
After that, Zhao Shujiao walked to a cowhide drum in front of the big tent, grabbed the drumstick and struck it.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
As waves of drums sounded, about one or two thousand archers rushed out from the rear of the barracks, one by one, with their bows and arrows, diagonally facing the sky.
"Put!"
At the sound of an order, the arrows flew to the river beach.
"Herod'......"
"Ah......h
Because the night was dark, it was difficult to see the scene on the river beach, but the neighing and screaming of the war horses showed that this wave of arrows also caused a lot of casualties to the campers.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers poured out of the barracks, all armed with spears, and stood in rows behind the wooden fence, stretching out their spears through the gaps in the fence.
A wave of counterattacks, and the arrow attacks on the river stalls also slowed down slightly.
The soldiers hiding behind the camp also raised their weapons one after another, sticking out of the gaps in the stakes.
On a small hill ten miles away, Ling Yun and Lu Xiang rose on the top of the mountain, letting the night wind blow the armor on their bodies, listening to the sound of war and shouting of killing, and quietly watching Zhao Shujiao's military camp.
"Brother Jiutai, Houjin attacked the camp, should we help?" Ling Yun put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng beside him and asked.
Lu Xiangsheng held a big knife in his hand, stuck the handle of the knife on the ground, and pondered for a while: "Let the soldiers move forward first, don't make too much noise, if there are too few people attacking the camp and it's just a temptation, we won't show up for the time being." If there are many enemies and they are ready to break the Zhao Sect in one go, then we will attack suddenly and kill them by surprise. ”
Ling Yun nodded, turned to the few thousand households behind him and said, "Order!" Move forward slowly, don't expose the target, and obey the order when the time comes! ”
"Compliance ......"
A few thousand households agreed and turned around to make arrangements.
Ling Yun turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Jiutai, then let's go too!" ”
