The reason for this is that in addition to the fact that this method of warfare requires much more soldiers than daytime combat, but also because there are too many variables in it, if it is not for the generals who have great confidence in their own army and are well versed in the art of war, they dare not say that they can win in a night attack.

Of course, a night attack also has its advantages, as long as the sneak attack is successful and the enemy camp is killed, then even if the other party has great ability, it will show a one-sided result. Sometimes a close battle can be completely changed by a night raid.

Although Liao Qing and other generals of the Wu army, who were eager to win and kill the enemy and take revenge, did not have too superhuman command skills, but with their understanding of the terrain outside Huzhou City, as well as the lives of the three armies, they really quietly approached the Song army camp at the fastest speed, and flew into the air with a whistling sound, and the team of 20,000 people shouted, and rushed towards the Song camp at full speed with the front and left and right wings.

The men were still dozens of paces away from the black rumbling barracks, and the arrows had already been whizzed out by them, and they flew like raindrops. This time, they wanted to disrupt the Song army's camp as quickly as possible, and completely break the enemy in their panic.

The panicked screams resounded throughout the camp in an instant, and many torches were scattered everywhere, and there were even shadowy figures scurrying around, and from a distance, it was obvious that the Song army had been in a mess after being attacked, and even a decent resistance could not be organized for a while.

This made the Wu army more energetic and bolder, roaring loudly, and the speed of rushing forward was also faster, thinking that they could immediately rush into the barracks and kill, for this reason, even the vast majority of them threw away the bows and arrows in their hands, only holding swords and guns, and rushed forward at full speed.

Liao Qing rushed to the front in the first place, killing straight in front of Song Ying, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the row of antlers blocking the horses in front, he was ready to jump high and jump over these defenses. But at this moment, an eager drum beat suddenly sounded directly in front of him, and the familiar sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air was even more familiar.

Before these Wu troops could react, hundreds of sharp arrows flew in front of them, almost covering the entire direction of their forward rush. Liao Qing's reaction was fast enough, and when he saw these many flying locusts coming towards him, the Xuanhua axe in his hand quickly swept up, and he danced like a big shield to block the front, blocking the arrows that shot in front of him, but in this way, the momentum of his forward rush had stopped.

Most of the Wu troops on the left and right behind him did not have such ability, although they had quickly stopped and tried their best to sweep, but the dense, whistling arrows from all directions could not be easily blocked, even if they were swept by weapons and changed direction, their lethality was still undiminished, and the angles of these arrows became more and more unpredictable. Suddenly, the current hundreds of Wu soldiers had screamed and fallen down one after another.

The arrows in front seemed to be endless, and after one round, there was no pause, and another round of head-shot shots came, which not only made the group of soldiers led by arrows fall to the ground, but the men and horses in the rear were also hit by arrows one after another, so that they retreated again and again to block.

Rao is Liao Qing is brave, and in the face of this wave of arrows, he can only temporarily retreat. In addition to being unwilling and angry, he also had doubts in his heart, why did the Song army have such a fierce and timely counterattack, as if they had been prepared!

Just when his doubts were sharp, the drumming and the oncoming rain of arrows finally stopped, but then there was a loud trumpet and a roar. In the originally dark camp, hundreds of torches suddenly lit up, illuminating the front of the Song camp as if it were day, and a team of thousands of people was brightly dressed and armored, and the queue roared and killed in order.

"Oh no, they were prepared! I've been tricked! At this moment, Liao Qing finally woke up, and cold sweat suddenly gushed out on his whole body like a spring, and the Song army in front of him had already ambushed and waited!

At the same time, the generals of the Wu army who divided their troops to attack both sides of the Song camp were also aware of this fact. They entered the camp only a moment later than the front team, but the situation was even more miserable than the front team. When they thought they could kill the enemy by surprise, the soldiers who rushed to the front were left with a void at their feet, and then their whole bodies fell to the ground and disappeared, and then the screams quickly sounded from below.

All this happened too suddenly, and even the men and horses in the rear couldn't react, and they rushed forward desperately, so they pushed more robes in front of them down the pit in front, until the screams rang out, and countless people looked forward in panic, only to find that the seemingly undefended Song camp in front of them was full of traps one by one. This is nothing, what is even more terrifying is that there are barbs buried under these traps, and at this time these barbs are already full of Wu soldiers, stabbing them to the point of bleeding, howling miserably, but they can't get out. In just a few moments, many people died directly, and the blood gushed in the pit, so it was not miserable.

This cruel scene in front of them immediately made these Wu soldiers frightened, and they quickly retreated.

But just as they retreated, the same horn sounded from this side, and an ambush on each side of the Song camp came out, rushing with all their strength with the most conducive to rushing and killing, and under the clever avoidance of the pits, they rushed to the Wu army.

One side is already timid and panicked, while the other side is ready to go. When the two sides went head-to-head, the night battle was quickly decided. In the shouting, the offensive of the Song army was like pouring snow on the soup, and immediately melted the opponent's defense line, killing the Wu army completely out of proportion, and the formation of the team was even more scattered.

In just one face, the Wu army that attacked the Song camp on three sides became a rout, even if Liao Qing and others were reluctant, and then fought desperately to save the situation, but it was in vain. If the army is defeated like a mountain, how can one or two generals change and reverse?

couldn't fight for a meal, even Liao Qing had several serious injuries, and was protected by his own soldiers and retreated in embarrassment, and the situation on the other two sides was almost the same, completely chased by the Song army like a lost dog, turned around and ran in the direction of Huzhou City Gate. At this time, they had no other thoughts, only to run into the city and save their lives.

But at the head of the city in the distance, Pang Wanchun, who was looking at all this with a pale face, saw a further problem - once the city is really opened and the soldiers are let in, I am afraid that even the Song army will be put into Huzhou, and at that time, the scuffle will be together, and I am afraid that Huzhou will be completely destroyed.

He really hated these subordinates who refused to obey his orders, and at the same time, he was a little more jealous of Sun Tu, and even respected. The other party's grasp of the situation and people's hearts is too accurate, accurate to the point of horror!

Obviously, all the things before, whether it was letting other military horses leave, or not attacking Huzhou for two days, and putting on the appearance of being about to retire, were all in order to lead the military horses under his command to take risks and kill. For this reason, he even laid a trap early in the morning.

Now that I think about it carefully, the sudden retreat of the Song army was also preparing for this. The farther away from the city would allow them to evade the defenders and allow them to calmly dig a row of deadly traps on either side of the barracks. Who would have thought that they would set such a trap in their own camp?

And now, all this has fallen into Sun Tu's calculations, and the 20,000 troops who ventured out of the city are not only seriously damaged, but also in a critical situation, and may be completely annihilated by the enemy at any time!

In addition to sighing and angry, Pang Wanchun is also quickly making trade-offs in his heart, what choice should he make in order to minimize the loss of this defeat, or even reverse the decline?

Opening the city gate is to welcome back this defeated army, which must not be done, that will make Huzhou completely fall. But if there is no rescue, once the 20,000 people are swallowed by the Song army, it will also be a very dangerous result for Huzhou. Because once the force is halved, with the size of Huzhou City, the defense at that time will inevitably be stretched, maybe a negligence will be broken through by the enemy, and the city defense will collapse.

It is obviously not advisable to open the city or defend it, but what should it be?

"Pang Shuai......" The surrounding generals were also anxious when they looked at the defeated scene outside the city, and couldn't help but shout: "We can't watch the soldiers being killed but not rescue, otherwise, the army's heart will be turbulent, and this Huzhou will not be able to hold ......"

Yes, no matter what choice you make, you can't change the extremely passive result, so it's better to just fight for it!

Suddenly, a bold, even crazy, thought popped up in Pang Wanchun's heart. Whether it was Kaicheng or defending to the death, it was already expected by Sun Tu, but there was one thing he would definitely not think of - attack! Not only did he not think about how to defend it, but he attacked directly, and took this opportunity to have an early decisive battle with the Song army!

Once this crazy thought is born, it is difficult to contain. Pang Wanchun's eyes were burning with two flames, since he fought with Sun Tu, he had exhausted all kinds of means and methods to win the next game safely, but the result was all in failure.

Danyang, Changshu, Suzhou...... In every battle, I want to be safe and win steadily! But every time something happens, it doesn't develop according to his arrangement. Today's Huzhou battle is like this again, since they have already fallen into such a situation, then let go of the battle, no matter what is stable or not, and no matter what the aftermath is, simply fight head-on!

"Pass on my military order, the whole army will go out of the city and attack the enemy head-on!" With his mind set up, Pang Wanchun did not hesitate any longer, and quickly issued a military order that made everyone stunned.

In the city of Huzhou, the drums suddenly sounded, and more than 20,000 people who remained in the city quickly assembled, and the city gate suddenly opened!

The unexpected decisive battle started in advance!
