Chapter 943: The Night Attack Begins
Shan Xiongxin was very familiar with the most problematic places during the siege, and if there was no food and grass to provide food, he would inevitably withdraw.
But the things he can think of may not be unthinkable to the other party, so this night attack strategy is actually a mission to send him to death.
The specific number of people to send to carry out is what he has to consider, because it is a mission to send death, so he said it very directly.
Li Mi already knew in his heart that he might have to pay a lot of price if he wanted to succeed, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "General Shan, just do it, I believe in you." ”
Shan Xiongxin knew that it would not be easy to attack the camp at night, so he had to make a careful plan.
In the middle of the night, Shan Xiongxin sent three teams of soldiers and horses, the first of which was a total of 20,000 people responsible for the feint attack, lighting the wolf smoke and transmitting the signal remotely.
When the fire of Wagang City lit up the night, Li Shimin also received the news that the spies had discovered.
"Not good, the enemy is going to attack the camp at night."
"Your Highness, no, the attack on the camp shouldn't be so high-profile, wouldn't it reveal their purpose." The eldest grandson Wuji was skeptical.
"Somewhat." Li Shimin calmed down and began to fall into thought.
"However, it is not so easy to come and sneak attack, and the number of troops in the city is limited, and it is not impossible to transmit information by fireworks from a distance, or it is impossible to determine whether it is as conjecture."
The eldest grandson Wuji gave an explanation, and he was also afraid that he would cause big trouble if he guessed wrong.
"It's always good to be careful, and the notice goes down to put the soldiers into combat readiness, no matter what the enemy wants to do, they can't succeed." Li Shimin said.
The fireworks on the wall of Wagang City were too obvious in the dark night, and Shan Xiongxin's lieutenant felt that this was very ostentatious, and now this situation is not to tell the enemy that someone is going to attack the camp, and some do not understand the meaning of the main general.
"General, according to the time, it is inferred that the soldiers and horses in the suburbs will arrive in less than a stick of incense." The adjutant reminded.
"The order goes down and executes according to the plan."
The second force was a cavalry of 5,000 men, which had been selected from the elite and jumped out of the city gates, and soon disappeared into the night.
"Kill!"
The first army sent by Shan Xiongxin had already fought with the enemy, and all he could rely on in the dark night was the torches in his hands, and the two sides couldn't tell each other apart after entering the melee.
No matter how you look at the team in charge of the feint, it looks like they are being caught up and unable to get out, and it is common for them to accidentally injure their own people in the dark night.
This is how fighting in the dark of night is, once the fire is extinguished, it is completely impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, which also provides cover for the attacker.
Fortunately, Li Shimin had a large number of soldiers, and immediately after the enemy attacked, he asked people to protect the barracks, especially several barracks responsible for food and salary.
"King Qin, the enemy has sent cavalry to attack several barracks that are stocked with grain and grass."
"Hold on."
"How did they find out?" The eldest grandson Wuji spoke first, knowing that only their own people knew about the barracks where they stored food.
They immediately wondered if there was an inner demon in their people.
Li Shimin wondered in his heart, how could there be such a coincidence. Love Literature Network
However, it was such a coincidence, the cavalry was able to find that the grain and grass were really lucky, and Li Shimin divided the grain and grass to increase the chance of being found.
It's just that the amount of grain and grass they found is not much, and Li Shimin is not worried that the purpose of doing this is naturally to confuse the other party.
There is no need to be nervous if there is no problem in his escort battalion, and Li Shimin is wise and will not really put the grain and grass into danger, and he will not use it easily unless he has to do dangerous things.
Especially when it comes to the safety of grain and grass, of course, it must be placed in the safest place, and Li Shimin's Xuanjia soldiers are specially guarding grain and grass.
Not only that, the place where Li Shimin was at this time was guarded by the Xuanjia soldiers, and all the people and food were guarded by the Xuanjia soldiers.
As for whether anyone reported the news, Li Shimin was suspicious, but after thinking about it, it was not very possible for people who believed in him, and if there was really an enemy's internal response, I am afraid that the barracks where he is now would have become the target of the enemy long ago.
But now there is no situation, and it is likely that the enemy is really lucky.
At this time, it is not the time to dwell on this matter, the center of the barracks is surrounded by 300,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to rush in unless there are more than 300,000 troops.
In Li Shimin's opinion, the Wei State will not exceed 400,000 soldiers and horses at most, although the enemy's active attack during the day made him suspicious, but since Shan Xiongxin did not stick to it and chose to retreat in time, he understood that it seemed to be very powerful, but in fact it was a foreign power and a middle cadre.
Shan Xiongxin waited anxiously on the city wall, and it was really uncertain that the three teams sent this time would be able to successfully attack at night.
Waiting is the most tormenting, death is so close to those soldiers, they all say that Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, and it will be uneasy to let the fresh life die under his arrangement.
The number of the third army was only 3,000 men, and when the first two troops were already fighting, they were still lurking, and they did not know the specific results, anyway, there was only one task, which was to take advantage of the chaos to use the fire oil brought to set fire to all the enemy's barracks.
That's right, they did the task of the death squad, wearing the armor of the enemy camp and taking advantage of the opportunity to set fire to the fire with the fire oil they carried.
Shan Xiongxin really has no news of any barracks, and if he wants to find food and grass, he can rely on luck.
However, the first two teams sent out are to confuse and attract the enemy's attention, and the third team is the killer team.
The 3,000 people who mixed in were divided into small teams and acted separately, and the clothes in the barracks were almost the same as the enemy's clothes, although there was no armor, but it was normal for them to change chaos in the middle of the night to meet the enemy and not have time to wear armor in a hurry.
Besides, not all of the 500,000 soldiers and horses have armor, and some people use substitutes such as leather armor.
Shan Xiongxin is taking advantage of this, in fact, this trick is applicable to forces other than Youzhou soldiers and horses, and it is too normal for the armor to be incomplete.
Spears and other weapons are very common, and no one can distinguish them if they change their appearance, which is the disadvantage of not being able to unify the system.
It's a pity that reality does not allow them to unify the armor, so they can only popularize the clothes inside, and some cloth clothes are easy to obtain whether they are captured on the battlefield or made by others.
"Split up and lead the search, don't let a single enemy go."
"Yes."
A third team of 3,000 men was openly assigned tasks in the barracks, and no one noticed their anomaly.
Li Shimin's men have 500,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to see acquaintances at all, unless they are in a barracks, and even so, there are very few acquaintances in the barracks except for the team's own people.
Half an hour had passed since they had dispersed into the barracks and had begun to complete these things with fire oil, and the battle was nearing its end.
10,000 people are easy to hide in the dark, and when someone lights a torch, they can tell each other apart.
