Although it was only afternoon at this time, in order to plan the night attack at night, Liu Pan's soldiers and horses had already entered the camp tent to sleep.

An hour before midnight, Liu Pan's soldiers and horses began to assemble, in order not to be discovered by Yue Fei's troops and horses, Liu Pan's army did not dare to bury the pot to cook, just ate some dry food, after the army was full, the soldiers rested for a quarter of an hour, seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Pan ordered the army to go out of the camp to attack Yue Fei's army camp at night.

Liu Pan gave an order, Zhang Meng led 5,000 elites down the mountain from Yuanmen, and 5,000 soldiers quietly went straight to Yue Fei's camp.

Zhang Meng's troops and horses left for a while, and after traveling for about five miles, Liu Pan followed behind, led the remaining 15,000 soldiers and horses to leave the camp, and also headed straight towards the location of Yue Fei's camp.

Liu Pan had already made arrangements before, let Liu Zhuang lead some of the sailors to garrison the Luoxiao Mountain camp, at this time Liu Zhuang had already led three thousand sailors to garrison the camp, Zhang Meng and Liu Pan led the army to leave, Liu Zhuang also hurriedly ordered the soldiers under his command to simply pack up the money, food and materials of the Luoxiao Mountain camp, and then hurriedly returned to the camp of the sailor.

At this time, the sailor battalion had already prepared to be opened, and the money, food, and materials that had been accumulated in the battalion had already been moved to the ship by Liu Zhuang, and the 7,000 soldiers left behind in the battalion were already ready to go.

The captain who stayed in the camp saw Liu Zhuang returning, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and one captain hesitated for a moment and said, "General, are we going to leave now?" General (referring to Liu Pan) Isn't it too risky for him to act like this! If we just give up the four counties of Jingnan like this and return to Xiangyang, I'm afraid that the Ming Duke will definitely punish me and others! ”

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liu Zhuang did not tell his subordinates that the three counties of Guiyang may have been occupied by Yuan Yao's army, after all, this matter is too big, if it is accidentally spread by someone, then Liu Pan's plan will be over!

Liu Zhuang is not a fool, he naturally knows the priorities, he just told him, Liu Pan felt that Han Xuan and the three of them were a little unstable, and decided to take a risk and attack Yue Fei's camp at night, if they were ready to pursue or evacuate. At this time, in Liu Pan's camp, the only people who knew that something had happened in the three counties of Guiyang were Liu Pan, Liu Zhuang and the sentinel who came back to pass on his life.

Liu Zhuang sighed and said, "The reason why the general is doing this is because of his considerations, we just need to follow the order!" ”

"Moreover, the general has already sent troops, and now it is too late to say anything else, if this battle is won, we will lead the army to cut off the retreat of Yue Fei's department, and completely annihilate Yue Fei's troops and horses in Changsha County, and then we can take advantage of the situation to capture the city of Zhouling and cut off the retreat of Yuan Yao's main army, so that my Jingzhou army can completely reverse the situation, if the operation is done properly, my Jingzhou army may still be able to kill Yuan Yao under the public security city!"

"If this can be done, my Jingzhou can achieve a brilliant victory, then we can not only protect Jingzhou, but even possible to recapture Jiangxia and invade Yangzhou, if we can annex the land of Yangzhou, my Jingzhou foundation will be completely stable, and then the lord will definitely reward us and others!"

"If this battle fails, Han Xuan and the three of them will definitely change their minds and surrender to Yuan Yao, and then we will only have a dead end when we are stationed in the area of Luoxiao Mountain, and the general does this to find a way for us to survive!"

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let the soldiers hurry up and board the ship!"

"No, I'll take the order!"

After hearing what Liu Zhuang said, several lieutenants under Liu Zhuang were also extremely agitated in their hearts, and everyone agreed one after another and began to lead the soldiers of the headquarters to board the ship.

After Liu Zhuang and his 10,000 sailors boarded the ship, Liu Zhuang ordered the fleet to set off and go straight to the ferry that Liu Pan had mentioned before.

……

Zhang Meng led five thousand elites to take advantage of the night to go straight to Yue Fei's camp, tonight's weather was poor, thick dark clouds completely blocked the moon, the sky was very dark, although not to the point of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, but it was almost like that, so although Zhang Meng's soldiers and horses were not moving forward fast, a little stumbling, but their whereabouts were also more secretive, and they were not discovered by Yue Fei's sentry at all.

Yue Fei's battalion was still lit with firelight, and it looked like a red dot from a distance, Zhang Meng only needed to march towards that red dot, and he didn't have to worry about getting lost.

Five thousand soldiers and horses marched for more than half an hour before they came to the outside of Yue Fei's camp, although Zhang Meng was reckless, but he also knew that this night attack was very important, so he couldn't help but be more careful. After Zhang Meng led the army to the outside of Yue Fei's camp, he did not rashly attack the camp, but ordered his soldiers and horses to rest temporarily, and he personally went to the front to observe the situation of Yue Fei's camp.

However, it was dark in this matter, and Zhang Meng did not see anything wrong after observing for a long time, but with the help of the firelight, he saw some soldiers on duty standing in Yue Fei's camp, which seemed to be heavily guarded, and the discipline of Yue Fei's soldiers and horses was indeed good, even though it was now the second half of the night, but Yue Fei's soldiers and horses on duty still did not sleep lazily.

Moreover, outside Yue Fei's camp, there are still many bonfires dotted around, these bonfires will shine the open space outside Yue Fei's camp as if it were day, if Zhang Meng led the army to kill like this, his whereabouts would definitely be discovered by Yue Fei's troops on duty.

Zhang Meng observed for a while, but still did not find the flaw in Yue Fei's camp, just when Zhang Meng was ruthless in his heart and wanted to lead the army to rush and forcibly attack Yue Fei's camp, suddenly three bright lights flashed, followed by three thunderous sounds!

"Crackling!! Thundered!!! Thundered!!! ”

"Crackling!! Thundered!!! Thundered!!! ”

"Crackling!! Thundered!!! Thundered!!! ”

Zhang Meng looked up, only to see three huge thunderbolts shining in the night sky, these three thunderbolts emitted a strong light, tearing the night in front of him, shining the sky extremely bright, the huge thunder almost blasted through his ears, which made people extremely frightened!

After the three thunderbolts flashed, there were immediately raindrops of soybeans crackling down, hitting the dust on the ground, and in an instant, the raindrops became more and more dense, and soon it became a pouring of heavy rain, like a heavenly river pouring!
