Chapter 701: Midnight Sneak Attack
Han Xuening brought a lot of food, and the soldiers moved the grain and dry food from the secret passage to the cave.
Wei Yunxuan's side has been hungry for two days. He immediately beckoned the hungry soldiers to come and get dry rations to eat, and then fill their stomachs first.
The weather outside was very cold, and Han Xuening also asked the soldiers who sent food to give each person a pot of wine to ward off the cold.
"Miss Xue Ning, you're finally here!" Mr. Wen was eating wine and dry food, and his body suddenly warmed up.
"Mr. Wen, is the Persian army under the mountain still besieged?"
"Yes! The Persian army has brought a lot of food from the city, and it is prepared to trap us here for a long time. ”
Mr. Wen said, sighing.
The bodies of Ma roughly and Xiao Tao, Xiao Hua and a few soldiers are still in the cave.
Tomorrow will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Han Xuening thought to herself, tomorrow she will transport the bodies of Ma roughly and others to the back of Xiaoliang Mountain for burial.
However, the road to Xiaoliang Mountain was also blocked by the Persian army, which made it difficult for them to reach Xiaoliang Mountain.
Wei Yunxuan said: "Now under the mountain, not only is the road blocked, but the Liangzhuang is also full of Persian troops. There were at least 2,000 Persian troops in the north, plus the Persian troops in the village of Zaozhuang in the east and south, and the west, there were 10,000 troops surrounding us. ”
Han Xuening returned to the five hundred elite soldiers here, and the rest of the soldiers stayed outside the South City Gate.
If there are two or three thousand enemy troops under the mountain, she can still think of a way to win by skill.
However, with so many enemy troops, twenty times their strength, they could not win at all, and if they didn't get it right, the 500 soldiers they brought would be wiped out.
Outside, it was slowly getting dark, and inside the cave, everyone was worried.
Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is an auspicious day for the king. If a few dead people can be buried tomorrow, it will also comfort Han Xuening and their souls.
Fulfilling Ma's last wish is very urgent for everyone.
Wu Tong is such a big man, he used to be able to deal with hundreds of people by himself, but now he also has a sad face.
Wu Tong, who had never expressed his opinion, suddenly came out and said to Han Xuening and Wei Yunxuan: "Lord Wang! Miss Xue Ning, I think tonight, I will take someone to kill those Persians by surprise. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so let the roughly brothers enter the ground as soon as possible. Being surrounded like this, but the heart is aggrieved, let us happily kill the majesty of those Persians. ”
It can be seen that Wu Tong has been holding back for a long time, and the words in his heart finally burst out.
Han Xuening asked Wutong not to be impulsive, and everyone should think of a way.
Mr. Wen was also thinking of a feasible way, and Bai Zijun said, "Otherwise, let's form another team of archers." The Persians who attacked the north side of the mountain, took advantage of the evening to transport the bodies of their roughly brothers to Xiaoliang Mountain. ”
This is also a way to fight the enemy army at night.
Wei Yunxuan asked Han Xuening: "Miss Xuening, what do you think?" ”
Han Xue thought for a while and said, "Just now, the methods of Brother Zijun and Brother Wutong can be tried. Tomorrow is an auspicious day for the king, tonight the eldest brother Zijun will take two hundred archers to sneak attack, taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy army, the eldest brother Wutong will bring two hundred people to slash and kill the other party. Some people took the opportunity to transport the bodies of several people to Xiaoliang Mountain, which was also the safest way. ”
Descending from the mountain into the woods below, the soldiers lay in ambush in the woods and took the opportunity to sneak attack. The bodies of Ma and several others were also transported to the woods below the mountain first, and took the opportunity to transport them to Xiaoliang Mountain on the opposite side.
Wei Yunxuan thought for a while and said, "Then according to what Miss Xue Ning said, let's go our separate ways now." ”
Now, it was already dark outside, and the two teams could assemble in about half an hour.
After eight o'clock in the evening, you can go down the mountain one after another, and take the opportunity to sneak attack at ten o'clock in the evening. This is the best solution.
Bai Zijun and Hua Zijian led the archer troops, and each of them led a hundred people to attack in two ways, and after the enemy army was in chaos, the men and horses led by Wu Tong slashed and killed the enemy army in a mess.
It was past eight o'clock in the evening, and everyone was ready.
The first group of archers, led by Bai Zijun and Hanako Sword, was ready, and slowly walked down the eastern mountainside towards the woods below.
Another force of two hundred men led by Wu Tong waited for the archers to descend the mountain, and then they went down.
The rest of the people carried the body and slowly descended the mountain.
Han Xuening had just brought five hundred elite soldiers, but she didn't expect that she would have to fight a tough battle as soon as she arrived.
These 500 elite soldiers were the strongest soldiers selected from the 6,000 soldiers and horses, and they were still confident in sneaking up on and defeating the Persian army of nearly 2,000 to the north of the mountain.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the last of the soldiers with the remains of Ma roughly and others began to set out from the cave, slowly walking through the mountain wall to the woods below.
Han Xuening, Mr. Wen, and Wei Yunxuan followed the last group of people, and when the time came, they would take advantage of the chaos to lead troops to transport the bodies of Ma and a few others to Xiaoliang Mountain opposite.
When everyone had gone down the mountain, before it was ten o'clock in the evening, a visiting guard suddenly came down from the mountain and reported to Wei Yunxuan that a large number of torches were moving from the east to this side.
Everyone wondered that a large number of torches appeared at night, probably a large number of troops, marching with torches at night.
Where the hell is this army?
Han Xue thought about it, could it be that reinforcements came from Jindong City?
However, she thought about it and thought it was unlikely, and she had already sent someone to inform Jindong City, hoping that 10,000 reinforcements would come. Later, the spies who came first said that the army would arrive soon. As a result, a month has passed, and there is not even a shadow of a person.
Later, the spy disappeared.
They knew in their hearts that the queen would definitely not agree to send troops to help, and it was clear that she wanted to trap them to death.
Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and the queen will not agree to send troops, besides, it is too cold outside.
So, where did so many soldiers come from?
Mr. Wen was also puzzled, "I don't know where so many night marches came from?" Is it here to relieve us, or is it the Persians? ”
It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, and they don't know if the night march is friend or foe?
Therefore, Wei Yunxuan and the others could only ask Bai Zijun and Hua Zijian not to act first, and wait to see the situation before making a decision.
The night march is a friend, then it is the best, they sneak attack here, the night march gives the Persian army in the east and south a sudden blow, if it goes well, it can also annihilate the Persian army outside the east gate.
If the night march was a group of the Persian army, then Wei Yunxuan's plan tonight could not be blindly messed up, and the two armies of the other side would besiege them, and they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Bai Zijun and the others were very helpless after getting the news that they were not acting for the time being.
It's really strange that so many night marches came out in the middle of the night!
