Section 78 Snow Night Attack on the Camp

The wind swept the snowflakes to obscure the distance between heaven and earth, and in the chaotic night, a group of soldiers and horses split the snow and galloped towards the north. Lin Fei took the lead in galloping at the front of the team, it was true that the wind and snow had already formed a thin layer of hoarfrost on his eyebrows, but Lin Fei's mood at this moment was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. It is said that as the commander of Jinxi County, Lin Fei should have known the situation in Liaodong well, but now he not only did not notice the changes in Xuansu County, but even left Jinxi at the stall of Gongsun Kang's southern invasion. Of course, there are 8,000 defenders in Jinxi City, and three artillery pieces are in the town, and the strength should not be underestimated. But the things in this world are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Jinxi fails to stop Gongsun Du's army this time or suffers heavy losses, then Lin Fei will really be to blame.

And just when Lin Fei was anxious, he suddenly heard the little school next to him shouting excitedly, "Yi Zai! There's light ahead! Hearing this, Lin Fei hurriedly looked up, and saw a little fire looming behind the dense snow curtain in front of him. Lin Fei remembered that the place where the firelight appeared was the direction where Jinxi City was located. However, he could not tell whether the fire came from the head of Jinxi City or the enemy troops in the outer city of Jinxi. Thinking about this, Lin Fei immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing and sent scouts to investigate the situation.

It turned out that Lin Fei's worries were completely unnecessary, and Jinxi City under the snowy night was like a gray hill standing alone on the white snowfield. There were no enemy troops around, and not even a ghost had ever seen a single one. However, the heavily armed defenders at the head of Jinxi City, as well as the antlers in front of the city gate, indicate that this place is in preparation for battle.

"Could it be that Gongsun Kang's army has not yet arrived in the city?" With this question in mind, Lin Fei, Yan Rou, Nanlou, Wu Yan and others led the troops into Jinxi City and hurried into Jinxi City.

On the other hand, the Jinxi defenders saw their own county orders coming with reinforcements overnight, and their morale was also greatly boosted. I saw Tang Ying, who was a guard, rushing down the city tower in three steps and two steps to hug his fist to Lin Fei, who had not yet dismounted, "Lin Yizai, you can be regarded as returning to the city!" ”

Lin Fei turned over and dismounted while asking impatiently, "Shanwei, where is Gongsun Kang?" We have not seen any enemy troops along the way, what happened? ”

Faced with Lin Fei's questioning. Tang Ying hurriedly replied, "Back to Yizai, the vanguard of Gongsun Kang's army withdrew its troops yesterday. ”

"Withdraw troops?!" Lin Fei stopped and looked back with a little surprise and asked, "You said that Gongsun Kang has withdrawn his troops?" ”

But this time, before Tang Ying could reply, he heard someone laughing and laughing, "Gongsun Xiao'er is nothing more than that." ”

Tang Ying looked back at the laughing man in confusion and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Lin Fei then remembered that he was still followed by Yan Rou, Nanlou, and Wuyan, so he hurriedly introduced them to Tang Ying one by one: "Shanwei, this is Lord Yan Rou, the captain of Wuhuan, and Lord Nanlou, the king of Wuhuan. Lord Uyan, King of Wuhuan Khanlu. ”

As soon as Tang Ying heard that the other party was the leader of the Wuhuan Lords who came to the rescue, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "Tang Ying, the governor of Jinximen, has seen the lords. ”

"General Tang doesn't have to be polite." Yan Rou politely returned the salute, and at the same time talked and laughed with Nanlou and Wu Yan quite proudly, "We are here to conquer the Gongsun family and his son on the order of the Marquis of Qi this time. I never thought that I would win before we even fought each other! ”

"yes. Gongsun Du is a hero, who would have thought that his son would be so vulnerable! Uyan laughed and nodded in agreement.

However, Lin Fei was obviously not as optimistic as Yan Rou and the others. But seeing that he frowned, he asked Tang Ying again. "Shanwei, you said earlier that the vanguard of Gongsun Kang has retreated, so where is Gongsun Kang's headquarters?"

Tang Ying replied, "Back to Yizai, according to the spies, Gongsun Kang had led his troops to the north of Jinxi City ninety miles ago ten days ago. ”

"Ninety miles? In this way, didn't Gongsun Kang himself never come to the city? Lin Fei asked in surprise.

"Having said that, Gongsun Kang is powerful. The last general will not dare to be guarded. Tang Ying explained with a smug face.

Indeed, the distance of ninety miles is not close, but it is not far, and Gongsun Kang's troops can just suppress Jinxi. Therefore, it is not too much for Tang Ying and others to send envoys to ask for help. But in this way, the purpose of Gongsun Kang's army to the south is evocative. If Gongsun Kang was really angry because of Gongsun Du's assassination, he sent troops to Jinxi. Then he should besiege Jinxi as quickly as possible. It's a bit puzzling to neither attack nor retreat like this.

"Gongsun Kang's move seems to be deliberately leading the lord out of the customs......" As soon as Lin Fei said this, even he himself was startled.

It's just that before Lin Fei could think deeply, the difficult building on the side already sneered disdainfully, "I see that Gongsun Xiao'er was frightened by the master!" ”

The arrogant words of the Nanlou immediately won the unanimous applause of the officers and soldiers around him. After all, in the eyes of most people, Cai Ji, who destroyed Yuan Shao and peace, was far stronger than Gongsun Kang. If Gongsun Kang really deliberately led Cai Ji to lead the army out of the customs, it was completely like a tiger swatting flies on his back - looking for death.

However, Nanlou and the others didn't know that Gongsun Kang, who was ridiculed by them as a cowardly child, did not nest ninety miles away at this moment, nor did he retreat with his tail between his legs. On the contrary, the new head of the Gongsun family is now leading a large group of men and horses to take a small road towards the White Wolf River west of the White Wolf Mountain.

"Young Master, twelve miles ahead of you found the Qi army camp."

A quick cavalry brought the exact location of the enemy army to Gongsun Kangbu, who was sneaking through the wind and snow. Gongsun Kang, who heard the news, grabbed the reins and asked in a deep voice, "Is this true?" How many soldiers? ”

The scout hurriedly replied, "Back to the young master, the Qi army camp is stationed on the bank of the White Wolf River, stretching for more than twenty miles. ”

Hearing what the scout said, Gongsun Kang Dun felt happy in his heart, and immediately raised his horsewhip and ordered loudly, "Cai's cheap maid is twelve miles ahead!" All the sons and daughters went over with the solitary killing! ”

It is undeniable that although Gongsun Du has offended many family officials, he himself is still quite prestigious among the people of Liaodong. The assassination of Gongsun Du on the street not only made the brothers Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong look apart, but also made the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong, who had received the favor of Gongsun Du, indignant. At this moment, hearing that the murderer of the old lord was ahead, the soldiers of the Gongsun Department around him suddenly burst into a roar of rage.

"Kill the! Revenge for blood! ”

"Kill the! Revenge for blood! ”

Facing the murderous subordinates, Gongsun Kang on horseback was both proud and excited. It must be known that although he is the eldest son of Gongsun Du, he has always lacked prestige in the army due to his young age and lack of military achievements. However, the sudden assassination of his father Gongsun Du not only allowed Gongsun Kang to inherit the family business of Gongsun in Liaodong naturally, but also won the hearts of the army in the name of revenge. As the saying goes, the mourning soldiers will win, and under the banner of revenge, who dares to disobey Gongsun Kang's orders.

But it's at the stall where Gongsun Kang boosts morale. A little spark suddenly appeared not far ahead, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded through the valley. Could it be Qi Jun! - In an instant, Gongsun Kang felt a tightness in his chest, and even a trace of fine sweat broke out in his palms. And his subordinates showed their swords and guns one after another, preparing for a big battle. You must know that Gongsun Kang's sneaking path is extremely secretive, and there are very few people who usually pass it, let alone the middle of the night when the snow is falling.

"It's a military advisor! Guo Junshi is here! As the scouts on the periphery once again brought good news to everyone, a familiar figure appeared in front of Gongsun Kang's eyes.

"Guo Tu has seen the young master." Guo Tu, who was in the dust, took off his hood while introducing the burly man who followed him to Gongsun Kangdao, "Young master, this is Lord Wuhuan Wang. ”

Although the relationship between Bang Dun and Gongsun Du's father and son had never been good, now he has been coerced by Guo Tu on the thief ship. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to kill Cai Ji first and then make another plan. I saw Bun Dun clasping his fists at Gongsun Kang with a dark face and saluting, "Bun Dun has seen the young master." ”

Gongsun Kang'er heard that the person who came was actually the head of the subject country of Liaodong, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, "Your Excellency doesn't need to be polite. It is a great blessing to have the help of adults this time. ”

Gongsun Kang's humble attitude made the original knotted Badun finally regain some face. But when he thought that he had let Cai Ji go before, he couldn't help but sigh in a depressed voice. "I can't kill Cai Ji this time, I'm really ashamed of the young master."

"What do you mean by that?" Gongsun Kang looked at Guo Tu puzzled and asked.

So Guo Tu briefly told Gongsun Kang what happened at the foot of White Wolf Mountain during the day. It is said that although Gongsun Kang moved troops step by step according to Guo Tu's plan. But I didn't know that there was such a thing as the White Wolf Alliance. At this moment, I learned that Badun was almost able to take Cai Ji's head. But because he was afraid of Zhao Zilong and gave up halfway, Gongsun Kang regretted it and couldn't help but feel a deep contempt in his heart, cowardly as a mouse. Of course, in front of the dumbfounded, Gongsun Kang still waved his hand generously, "It's okay, it's okay, Gu has found out where the Qi military camp is." Please follow Gu to raze the Qi camp and take off the head of Cai's neck! ”

Seeing Gongsun Kang's victory, he was in a position to win. Guo Tu, who was the initiator, couldn't help frowning. Perhaps Cai Ji herself does not think that she has extraordinary military talent, but her opponents do not. At least in Guo Tu's view, Cai Ji still has his own characteristics in military affairs. Seeing Guo Tu coughing lightly, he reminded Gongsun Kang, "Young Master Mingjian, Cai Anzhen's marching formation has always advocated clumsiness. Good knots. If we want to break through their camp, we need to attack their camp before dawn breaks, and attack it unprepared! ”

Gongsun Kang had already regarded Guo Tu as the mastermind who could support him to achieve great things, and after listening to what Guo Tu said at this moment, he nodded and said without saying a word, "The military advisor is reasonable. The whole army listened to the lonely order, the people were tied to the horses, and the surprise attack was on the camp! ”

The ten-mile journey was a piece of cake for the cavalry, and it was the darkest midnight of the day when Gongsun Kang and the soldiers and horses of Gongsun Kang and Badun touched the camp three miles away. The cold wind blew through the bare skin, and it hurt like a knife, but Gongsun Kang was unaware of this, and at this moment he was staring at the light of fire in front of him, like a bloodthirsty leopard ready to jump out and bite the throat of its prey. But on the other hand, Gongsun Kang was so nervous that he could hear the pounding of his heart in his chest.

You must know that for this day, Gongsun Kang spent a lot of manpower and material resources to make a game, and even did not hesitate to hide the news of his father's death from the outside world. If Cai Ji is not killed in the end, or even let him escape, the consequences will be unimaginable. Of course, this thought only flashed in Gongsun Kang's mind for a moment, and he was left behind. In his opinion, Cai Ji at this time is already a turtle in an urn, and it is difficult to fly even if he has wings.

Just as Gongsun Kang was holding his breath and concentrating, a gust of wind suddenly swept by, and the battle flag was hunting, but seeing Guo Tu raise his eyebrows and glance at Gongsun Kang, the latter immediately raised the spear in his hand in understanding and shouted: "Attack!" ”

With Gongsun Kang's order, tens of thousands of iron horsemen rushed down towards the Qi camp in the river valley like a torrent of pouring mountains. However, the distance of two or three miles was too close, and the horses of the Gongsun army on this side had just galloped up, and the camp of the Qi army, which had already sensed the enemy's situation, had exploded. Suddenly, the gongs on the white wolf river beach were loud and loud, and the rumbling horses' hooves shook the earth.

Hearing the sound of the cry outside the tent, Sun Quan picked up the sword next to the pillow with his hand, and a fish jumped on the military couch and rolled down, and rushed out of the felt tent quickly. When I looked up, I saw that the eastern sky was blazing, and there were people in all directions, like a panicked scene of bombing the camp. Sun Quan was shocked, and quickly grabbed a pawn who was scurrying around with his head in his hands and asked sharply, "What's wrong?" ”

The pawn was pulled hard by Sun Quan and staggered to the ground, but his mouth shouted loudly as if he was enchanted, "Steal... Sneak attack... Someone sneak attacked! ”

It was useless to report to Sun Quan that Qi Camp was attacked by someone. However, after the initial panic, Sun Quan had calmed down at this moment. Thinking that he didn't know what the opponent's strength was at the moment, and he didn't know where the opponent was attacking from, he finally decided to rush to the Chinese army's big tent to fight Cai Ji first.

Fortunately, Sun Quan's felt tent was not far from Cai Ji's tent, and after a while, he saw Cai Ji wearing a red cloak standing under the command of the commander to stabilize the morale of the army and consolidate the camp. As for Cao Pi, who was guarding Cai Ji's side, he was wearing battle armor and holding a double halberd, with a fully armed posture. Seeing this situation, Sun Quan remembered that he was only wearing a single coat when he rushed out of the felt tent just now, and suddenly felt that the cold wind was biting, and even goosebumps all over his body stood up.

On the other side, although Cai Ji was busy deploying troops, the corner of her eye still swept Sun Quan in pajamas and carrying a long sword a hundred steps away. So she hurriedly bowed her head to Cao Pi and whispered a few words. The latter, after pursing his lips disdainfully, turned around, took a set of clothes from his felt tent, and walked straight towards Sun Quan, who was shivering from the cold.

Although Cao Pi's eyes were full of mocking smiles when he threw his clothes over, Sun Quan didn't care about arguing with Cao Pi at this time. I saw him quickly put on his coat, and at the same time snorted and stepped forward to bow to Cai Ji and thanked, "Xie Qihou gave him clothes." Ha Qiu! ”

"Zhongmou beware of catching a cold." After Cai Ji finished instructing Sun Quan, he once again set his eyes on the sky that was red by the flames. (To be continued......)
