On the pitch black field.

A thousand light cavalry were galloping rapidly, each with a fluorescent ribbon tied to their shoulders, like a long firefly ribbon floating over the field.

Chu Tianxiu is not good at riding horses, so Zu'er rides with him. He hugged Zu'er's small waist, and the wind was full of light fragrance.

Soon, they arrived outside the camp of Wu's 250,000-strong army.

"Stop!"

Chu Tianxiu drank lightly.

Zuer immediately reined in his horse and looked ahead vigilantly.

Li Yu stopped his horse.

The 1,000 light cavalry of the night owl battalion immediately stopped like the wind and stopped 200 paces away from the Wu army's camp.

Among the cavalry, the children of the Li family accounted for a large part. The other light cavalry also admired the little dusk marquis.

After defeating the 100,000 army of the King of Chu, the prestige of Xiao Duhou in the imperial army has faintly had the reputation of a new generation of war gods, and he has chased his father-in-law, Li Rong, King Ping.

The soldiers were quite obedient to his orders.

Two hundred steps outside the Wu military camp, this distance, in the daytime, it is almost looking for death.

The Wu army had 20,000 light cavalry, which was an elite soldier. Rushing out of the camp and outflanking them can wipe out all their night owl camps of 1,000 people.

However, not at night.

Although the Wu army had 20,000 light cavalry, they were all blind at night. There were no night blind soldiers in the cavalry, and it is estimated that there were no hundred.

There are not many wealthy scholars from wealthy families in Wu State, these soldiers are selected from among the civilians, and night blindness since childhood is difficult to improve when they become adults.

This is also the reason why the 1,000 light cavalry of the night owl battalion selected by Chu Tianxiu are almost all the children of rich families and gate lords.

Even if they could find a thousand light cavalry capable of fighting at night, they would not be the match for their well-equipped "Night Owl Battalion".

"Wu Jun seems to have strengthened his vigilance! A hundred paces outside the camp, a large number of bonfires had been piled up, joined together, with sentries standing guard to prevent us from approaching.

As soon as we appeared near the campfire, their soldiers could see it. ”

Li Yu looked at the Wu army camp and said.

From a hundred paces away, shooting gunpowder arrows can actually fall into the camp of the Wu army.

But the Wu army had no choice, if the bonfire was too far away from the Wu army's camp, the soldiers who were guarding were touched on the neck, and they died in vain. A hundred paces away, this is the limit of what the Wu army archers can shoot.

Chu Tianxiu smiled, "It seems that I was beaten last night and suffered heavy losses, and this time I learned a long lesson." Still, it's not much use. The Wu army could not fight at night, so they could only defend the camp and be beaten passively.

Let's go around and see where Wu Jun is weak. ”

The 1,000 light cavalry of the night owl battalion circled around Wanling City.

The 250,000 troops of the Wu army surrounded Wanling City, and there was no shortage of one, leaving any room for escape for Wanling City.

It was clear that Wu Jun wanted to swallow Wanling City in one bite.

However, the 250,000 military camp of the Wu army was too long, which also brought considerable inconvenience to the command of the Wu army itself.

The overly bloated body, in front of the night owl camp, is a pile of fat meat.

The problem is, where to cut a knife, Wu Jun will be beaten to the bone marrow.

...

"Last night, we tried to find out that this place is the baggage camp of the Wu army, escorting a large amount of grain, grass and food for the army, at least enough for the army for ten days, and 10,000 infantry guards.

There are also 20,000 large battalions around it, ready to support the baggage battalion.

Tonight, can you focus on attacking this baggage camp?

The average large army marches and only carries about seven to ten days of food. More grain has to be transported from the rear.

Once the grain and grass of the Wu army were burned, the Wu army would immediately fall into a situation of lack of food, and urgently needed to transport food in the rear.

The food they had supplied the army for months of fighting should be farther away in the city, and it must be brought over at once. We can attack their grain routes, so that the Wu army will run out of food and will not be able to continue attacking Wanling City! ”

Li Yu said.

"Last night, it's been twelve hours now.... Maybe the baggage battalion has shifted its location. Wu Wang Xiang Bi is experienced. It is not easy to burn Wu Jun's grain and grass.

Whether or not you can burn Wu Jun's baggage and grass, that is when a blind cat meets a dead mouse, it is pure luck! ”

Chu Tianxiu groaned.

"What should I do?"

Dill asked.

"The Wu army had a total of twenty-five large battalions, each with about 10,000 soldiers and horses. It seems that there are a lot of people, but there are not many big camps. There are about 100 tents in a camp of 10,000 people.

We had a battalion of 1,000 night owls, and we scattered to burn twenty-five battalions, and each battalion could have forty men to attack at night. Shoot gunpowder arrows and set all their tents on fire.

No matter where the baggage camp is hidden, there is a chance to burn it. ... Even if it didn't burn, such a big mess would be enough for Wu Jun to endure. ”

Chu Tianxiu sneered.

The horses of the hussars carried a large number of quivers, which were filled with gunpowder arrows, at least twenty gunpowder arrows.

This means that forty people can quickly shoot hundreds of gunpowder arrows. Enough to cause a violent explosion and fire in a large camp.

"Good!"

"That's it!"

"About an hour later! I use a golden firework as a signal, and everyone starts at the same time! ”

A thousand light cavalrymen, under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, rushed to the periphery of different Wu army's 10,000-strong battalions and stood by.

...

Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, as well as Zu'er and Di'er, with forty light cavalry of the Li family, waited patiently outside one of the 10,000-person camps.

Chu Tianxiu can't ride a horse, nor can he shoot a bow on a horse, when he attacked at night, it was Li Yu who personally attacked, of course he couldn't step forward, he could only watch from a distance.

He estimated the time, and about an hour had passed.

A thousand light cavalry, estimated to have been scattered outside the Wu army's 10,000-strong battalions.

"It's time to light the golden fireworks!"

Chu Tianxiu said.

Zuer immediately took out a large golden firework from the horse's quiver.

With a match, light it.

"Whoosh! ~！ ”

This firework flew hundreds of feet into the air, exploded in the air, and turned into a golden chrysanthemum, which was extremely dazzling and thrilling.

"Rush!"

Li Yu drank lightly, held a bow, and pulled the war horse under his crotch.

The forty cavalry suddenly rushed like arrows to the 10,000-strong camp of the Wu army.

The cavalry was about a hundred paces away from the camp, firing gunpowder arrows in their hands. Their fuses are all designed to be match-like, and they catch fire when they are wiped on a matchbox, without the need to ignite.

Forty gunpowder arrows flew out in an instant.

"Snort!"

The fuse burns, and the powder tube "poofs" and sprays violently.

The arrow accelerated, flying three hundred paces away, inside the camp of the Wu army.

Li Yu's forty cavalry rushed along the perimeter of the camp while constantly shooting gunpowder arrows. Arrows rained down on the 10,000-strong camp of the Wu army.

Almost in a moment's effort, all the 800 gunpowder arrows carried by them fell into the 10,000-strong camp of the Wu army, exploded in the camp, and burned.

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Wu army camp saw the fireworks explode and countless rockets fell towards the camp, but they were so frightened that their souls flew out of the sky, and suddenly there was a cry in the camp.

The tents in the camp quickly burned. One by one, many soldiers wailed, desperately trying to put out the fire.

"Fast"

"Enemy attack!"

"Here we go again!"

"Archers, shoot arrows! Don't let them get close. ”

"It's out of the water, help! What about buckets? ”

However, where they could see the movement in the field outside the camp, it was all pitch black, and the ghost could not be seen.

Wu Jun's arrows shot outward indiscriminately, landing within a hundred steps, and could not hurt a single cold hair at all.

Chu Tianxiu and Zu'er, riding horses, on a small hill in the distance, watched.

But I saw that the 200,000 battalion of the Wu army was full of sporadic flames, burning, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are desperately looking for water to put out the fire.

"Uncle, this fire is really big. Maybe there is a real opportunity to burn all their baggage camps, grain and grass. ”

Zuer exclaimed.

Chu Tianxiu smiled faintly, "With this kind of burning method, King Wu doesn't even have a tent to set up camp, and it is estimated that he will have to sleep in the open air in the future, and it is easy to catch a cold."

Signal the fireworks and evacuate! In another hour, the sky will be bright, go back to sleep, and let King Wu have a headache. ”
