Chapter 343: Night Attack

Thundered. ”

"Crackling."

In the sky by the sea, a bolt of lightning pierced the pitch-black sky, and the miserable white lightning smashed at the end of the sea with lightning speed. Immediately afterward, a torrential rain poured down, and the bean-sized rain fell on the sea.

Thunder, heavy rain, strong winds, huge waves.

Almost instantly, the sea changed color, the waves were turbulent, and rows of huge waves like mountains roared towards the shore from the dark sea. Under such huge waves, the fleet of the Qin army seemed to be like a little yellow duck floating in the river.

Fortunately, the Qin army had already captured the shore, and the Ma Han and Wei Han people had also withdrawn to Turtle City, which was thirty miles away from the shore. The camp of the Qin army was stationed in an open area five miles away from the sea, and more than twenty miles ahead was Turtle City, which was enough distance to buffer the two sides.

The wind and waves on the seaside were surprisingly strong, and the black dragon flag hanging at the highest place in the Qin army's camp sounded in the wind. Groups of Qin troops braved the heavy rain to patrol around the camp to prevent a sneak attack by the Wei Han or Ma Han people.

At this time, it was already past the early hours of the morning, about three o'clock in the morning, and the heavy rain in the sky was still falling violently, and it was dark everywhere around the camp. This time is the most sleepy time for people, and the Qin army in the camp is still immersed in sweet dreams.

"Dada, dada."

In the woods not far from the camp, there were a few inaudible footsteps, but under this pouring rain, the footsteps were completely muffled. In the dark night, there were about 5,000 Mahan soldiers, and the leader was Yin Chengzheng. Obviously, Yin Chengzheng was not reconciled to the defeat during the day, and he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Qin army had just landed to launch a night attack on this rainy night.

Under the leadership of Yin Chengzheng, the Ma Han people quietly probed towards the Qin military camp. The night was dark, the rain was heavy, and the thunder sounded. Tonight's environment did provide a powerful environment for the Mahan night raid, the darkness of the night helped them hide their shapes, and the heavy rain and terrible thunder helped them to hide the sounds that might be made.

Due to the problem of sight, the Mahan people are not moving fast, Mahan is not a wealthy country, due to the lack of meat, most of the Mahan people have night blindness, although not to the point of not being able to see at night, but it does affect the night vision.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The Mahan marched extremely concealed, and they touched through the woods on the flank of the Qin camp, which was very dense and covered by heavy rain. However, Qin Jun's eyesight was much better than that of the Mahan people. Just when the Mahan people were still three or five hundred steps away from the Qin army's camp, the Qin army's sentry had already spotted the Mahan soldiers, and a rapid drum beat sounded.

"Night attack, night attack."

The sentries of the Qin army had already discovered the Qin army attacking at night, and suddenly the entire camp was filled with drums. The resting soldiers immediately got up and put on their armor and prepared for battle.

"Found, withdraw, withdraw."

Seeing that his actions had been discovered by the Qin army, Yin Chengzheng decisively gave up the idea of storming the camp. Yin Chengzheng originally planned to rely on his own side to be more familiar with the environment, and try to see if he could take advantage of the night attack to attack the Qin army camp, and it would be better if he could capture Rong Luhou alive. Now that his whereabouts have been discovered by the Qin army, the night attack can only be stopped. Otherwise, the more than 5,000 people in their own hands would be afraid of another fiasco if they stormed the Qin army camp.

"Damn, you use us here as a kiln, you can come if you want, and you can leave if you want?" Seeing that the Ma Han people were about to withdraw, Fan Hao was not happy. During the day, in order to ensure the smooth erection of the pontoon bridge, he has always been passive on defense, and he was very aggrieved. This time, Yin Chengzheng found him again, where could he let him go so easily.

"Don't let them go, give me arrows." Fan Hao shouted and beckoned the pursuing Qin army.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Countless arrows flew towards the Mahan people like locusts, and the distance of three or five hundred steps was the most powerful distance of the Qin army's crossbow arrows. It's just that it's too dark today, and the accuracy of the arrow is very limited.

"Evacuate, retreat to the woods."

Yoon Sung-jeong ignored the Mahan soldiers who were shot, let them roll on the muddy ground and wail, and hurriedly beckoned the uninjured soldiers to burrow into the forest. As long as they entered the forest, the most powerful projectile of the Qin army's crossbowmen could be regarded as being wasted.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Just when Yin Chengzheng was about to burrow into the forest, a fierce gunshot rang out, and Wang Li had already chased him out with the Shenji Battalion. The power of the platoon gun shooting is much greater than that of the crossbow arrows, and after the five bullets per person are fired, Yin Chengzheng has already taken the remnants of his soldiers into the forest while the Shenji Battalion is loading ammunition.

Entering the forest can be regarded as allowing Yin Chengzheng to take a breath. He felt that the Qin army seemed to be his nemesis, not to mention the defeat during the day, and now that the night attack failed, more than a thousand casualties were added.

"Master Hou, chase or not." Fan Xu looked at the Ma Han people who had burrowed into the forest and asked Li Chen.

Originally, Li Chen wanted to send someone to pursue, but he glanced at the soldiers under him. Due to the sudden attack of the Mahans, the soldiers crawled out of the bed, picked up their weapons and chased them out, and many of them are still shirtless.

"Forget it, don't chase it."

"Tell the Huotou battalion to boil some ginger soup, and every soldier must drink a bowl, and don't catch a cold when the wind is strong on the seaside." Li Chen admonished.

At this time, it was not a wise choice to catch up, first, the Qin army was an outsider, and the situation in the woods was obviously not as clear as the Mahan people. Second, many soldiers are still shirtless, and if they catch a cold or get sick, it will inevitably affect the next attack.

The ginger soup in the Qin army camp has also been cooked, and the soldiers drank the steaming ginger soup and continued to rest warmly. And on the side of Turtle City, Yin Chengzheng, who had already been drenched in the appearance of a chicken in soup, also returned to the city with the remnants of his defeated soldiers down.

"Brother Wei, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to you, and I lost more than a thousand soldiers in vain." Yin Chengzheng looked at Wei Kunyang, who had been waiting for a long time, and bowed heavily at ninety degrees, his face full of shame.

Wei Kunyang quickly helped Yin Chengzheng up, and said: "The night attack is originally a matter of fighting, and it is understandable that it failed to succeed. ”

Now in the small Turtle City, almost all the main forces of Ma Han and Wei Han have been gathered. However, the commanders of the two sides are completely different in the style of marching and fighting, and Wei Kunyang, the commander of Wei Han, has a conservative style and prefers to defend the city. And Ma Han's commander Yoon Sung-jeong's style is more radical and advocates active attack. And today's night attack was also led by Yin Chengzheng, and now that it has failed, Yin Chengzheng is very ashamed in his heart.
