Chapter 299: Night Attack on the Enemy Camp

It was getting dark.

"Summons to go!" Yang Congyi gave an order, and the herald quickly went to give orders to Su Zhong and Pan Cheng.

In this battle, the two battalions of Su Zhong and Pan Cheng had to fight a tough battle, and they had to set off to ambush first.

In the afternoon, the spies found out more detailed information, Ningming is a small city, there are two gates in the east and west, two miles outside the east gate is a big river, forty or fifty zhang wide, there are hundreds of large and small ships parked on the riverbank, there are thousands of people transporting batches of materials from the east gate, moving to the river bank to load, most of the ships have been loaded, I believe that it will be offshore soon.

According to these circumstances, Yang Congyi, Su Zhong, and Pan Cheng formulated a plan of "encircling corpses and sending reinforcements", and Yang Congyi personally led people to take down the enemy troops on the shore, set fire to the boats, and lured the enemy troops in the city to come to the rescue, while Su Zhong and Pan Cheng each led a battalion of Xuanwei Army to ambush outside the east gate at night, and shot the enemy troops who rushed out of the east gate to rescue the riverbank with heavy grain and grass with bows and arrows, just like in Huashi Town.

The Xuanwei army led by Su Zhong and Pan Cheng quickly set off and sneaked outside the east gate.

After they all left, Yang Congyi took the last battalion of people and slowly rushed to the east bank of the river.

There is no moon tonight, the night is hazy, and the figure of the person can no longer be seen ten feet away.

Xuanweijun was in the dark in the silent night, quietly hurrying away.

More than an hour later, about two watches, Yang Congyi finally rushed to the river bank outside the east gate.

Looking at the faint lights on the shore, Xuanweijun stopped dozens of feet away.

Yang Congyi had to wait for Su Zhong and Pan Cheng to set up an ambush formation, and at the same time, he had to wait for the best time to come. The second watch day is not the most sleepy time, you have to wait until the third watch, and even in the second half of the night, in the best time to take down the defenders on the river bank in one fell swoop, and then arrange, but also set up an ambush, even if the enemy army out of the city to rescue even if it dodges the sharp arrows of Su Zhong and Pan Cheng, they must accept the last arrow rain attack.

"My lord, I'll take a look." Zhang Liu whispered.

"Be careful." Yang Congyi replied softly.

Zhang Liu came out with Yang Congyi this time, just to have a good experience, after a previous trip to the sea, his two junior disciples have returned to the mountains to cultivate, and he feels that his cultivation should still be in the world.

After following Yang Congyi to Qinzhou, from Anyuan County to Huashi Town, from Nasuo to Dongxing, he did not kill a single enemy along the way, left from Dongxing, and went north to the present, and there was no chance for him to do it. But tonight is destined to be a good opportunity for him to play, the enemy is hiding in the camp, the bow and arrow are useless, and if he wants to take down the defenders for a while, he can only rush into the enemy camp, once the short hand is met, it is his battlefield.

Zhang Liu quietly sneaked into the riverbank, close to the enemy camp, the camp was quiet, no sound could be heard, only a few zhang away, under the torch in front of the camp gate, there were four enemy soldiers holding short knives on duty, one person sat against the wall, with a knife and a pestle, seemed to be sleeping, and the other three stood aside, also drowsy shaking their heads, almost falling to the ground to sleep.

There were also a few fires in the camp, and I don't know if there were people on duty.

Zhang Liu quietly lurked on the side of the camp gate, kicked his feet, stretched out his hand to put up the barracks wall, and his whole body hung on the wall, and looked into the camp, there were many torches in the camp, and there were four people on duty under each torch, but the state was almost the same outside the camp gate, and he was dozing.

After carefully inspecting and confirming that it was safe, Zhang Liu turned over and fell into the camp with a little strength with his arms, and quietly dived into the camp under the cover of night shadows.

In a short time they passed through the camp and approached the bank of the river.

Two zhang away from the river bank, there is a long row of torches inserted along the bank, one for three zhang, and there are hundreds of them.

At a glance, the shore is faint, and I don't know how many ships have docked.

There were no lights on the ship, and under the light of the torches on the shore, you could clearly see that the ship was full of sacks.

Zhang Liu cautiously jumped onto a backlit boat, punctured the sack on the ship, reached out and grabbed a handful of things, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was white and white rice. He dived into several boats one after another, and punctured several sacks, all of which were filled with rice, without exception.

From a distance, it is difficult to estimate how many boats and how much grain are parked on the riverbank.

Returning from the camp again, Zhang Liu wanted to sneak into the barracks to see how many enemy troops there were, but after thinking twice, he gave up.

After returning to the place where the Xuanwei army was lurking, Zhang Liu informed him of the situation one by one.

Judging from Zhang Liu's description, the enemy army is stationed on the shore, and there is only one exit from the camp guarding the grain boats, which is the camp gate, with a wall more than a zhang high on three sides, and a river bank full of boats on the other side.

After the Xuanwei army lurked in place for a long time, it was expected that it was already midnight, and when the enemy army was asleep, Yang Congyi recruited heralds.

"Command a team to quickly take the camp gate. The second and third teams climbed over the wall and entered the enemy camp and raided from behind. The rest of the teams are going to fight with me! ”

The herald received the order and quickly went to each team to deliver the order.

After a short time, I saw a group of Xuanwei troops quickly sneaking towards the gate of the enemy camp.

Two other groups of Xuanwei troops circled around the enemy camp and prepared to climb over the wall.

Yang Congyi took the rest of the Xuanwei army, dozens of zhang behind, and followed the Xuanwei army that went to the camp gate.

I saw several Xuanwei soldiers holding sabers, tiptoeing, quietly approaching the dozing enemy soldiers on duty from the side of the wall, and after approaching the enemy troops, they raised their knives and wiped them, and the four of them did not say a word, and all fell to the ground and died.

As soon as they saw it, the other Xuanwei soldiers near the camp gate kept their tongues tight, quickly got up, and rushed towards the camp.

Yang Congyi beckoned, took the lead, and rushed to the camp gate with his knife, and hundreds of Xuanwei troops behind him immediately followed silently and rushed to the camp gate.

Zhang Liu didn't wait for Yang Congyi's command, picked up his sword and rushed to the wall of the enemy camp, glared at his feet, put one hand on the wall, and easily climbed into the enemy camp. Immediately rushing to the nearest torch, he slashed the throats of the four people with a few swords.

The four of them opened their eyes violently under the pain, reached out to touch the sore spot, felt sticky with one hand, took it in front of their eyes, it was bright red blood, watched the person in front of them float by with a sword, and wanted to shout in fright, but in the end they could only open their mouths, unable to make a sound, and after struggling for a while, their faces were distorted, and they died in the end.

Before the four people in front of him fell, Zhang Liufei bullied the torches not far away, and killed the four enemy soldiers who were dozing off with a few swords.

The strange sound of the enemy's corpse falling to the ground finally woke up some of the vigilant watchmen.

Seeing a large number of people rushing into the camp with knives, the man screamed in surprise.

Before he could shout again, a figure floated in front of him, a sword slashed, and the voice was cut off. The three people beside him had just opened their eyes, and before they could see what was happening, they felt a pain in their throats, and they couldn't make a sound.

But that sudden sound was enough to wake up the enemy soldiers on duty under the torches.

After hearing them shout a few times, they raised their knives and rushed towards their oncoming opponents.

With the sound of swords, the enemy camp suddenly resounded with chaotic screams.

With the screams, the hazy enemy soldiers rushed out of the barracks in an instant, and they killed the opponent in a daze.

The Xuanwei army and Li Yue's enemy army were completely mixed together, and the soldiers were in close contact, either the enemy died or I died, and the officers and men of the Xuanwei army were particularly fierce and hardworking, and the swords hit the enemy's fatal place.

One by one, the unprepared enemies fell to the ground, and the enemies behind rushed forward in despair.

After Yang Congyi slashed down an enemy soldier who rushed over, he was immediately guarded in the middle, and the enemies who dared to approach were put down one by one before they were five feet in front of him, and he was useless with his saber in his hand.

Zhang Liu charged forward alone, a sharp sword, flying up and down, stabbing left and right, cutting melons and vegetables, putting down every enemy he encountered, and those enemy soldiers who rushed over desperately, no one could touch the corners of his clothes.

Sergeant Xuanwei followed behind him, mending the enemies who had not yet lost their breath one by one.

The 500 Xuanwei troops, who were full of morale, hurried out of the enemy camp in half an hour, and the enemy, who did not know what was happening, was completely slaughtered.

"Search the barracks carefully and don't let a single enemy go!"

Yang Congyi gave an order, everyone took off the torches and entered the barracks to search, and after a while, several screams came from the camp.

After the enemy was cleared, they rushed to the river and burned the boats.

"Overseer, this ship is full of white and white rice, is it really going to be burned?" Some detainees felt that it was a pity to burn it.

"The river goes all the way to the east, and all the boats can float to Yongzhou. But now that the lower reaches are occupied by the enemy, these ships will be able to transport all the grain to the enemy as soon as they are activated. With so much food, we can't take it away over the mountains and mountains, and the enemy won't give us so much time. For now, the only way to do this is to destroy them all, so that the enemy troops besieging Yongzhou will be cut off from food supplies, and they will not dare to continue to attack without food. If we don't destroy it, when the enemy's reinforcements arrive, once we can't resist it, these grains will fall into their hands again, so isn't it in vain that the Xuanwei army ran so far? Yang Congyi stood by the river and looked at the gradually burning boats, and slowly explained the truth to the people around him.

"I see, the overseer is wise. We have little knowledge, where have we seen so many white flowers, distressed, pity. Another detainee sighed.

"Less sycophancy. Hurry up and help burn all these ships, and don't leave a single one behind. Yang Congyi looked at the grain ship that was burning with flames, how could he not be heartbroken, these grains are 100,000 quintals, enough for 100,000 people to eat for a month, move back and sell them for money, and they can also sell them for 120,000 yuan, but this river goes east, and it is Li Yueren's military camp that goes down the river.

It's all burned, burned, worry-free.

After most of the ships were on fire, Yang Congyi immediately gathered everyone to return to the camp gate to set up an ambush, waiting for the enemy troops who had escaped the ambush of Su Zhong and Pan Cheng to come and send them to their deaths.

Two teams lay in ambush ten zhang away on the left side of the camp gate, and two teams lay in ambush ten zhang away on the right side of the camp gate, armed with bows and arrows, facing the city gate two miles to the west.

The rest of the Xuanwei army remained in the camp, armed with sabers, and waited for battle. In the rush just now, the opponent panicked and didn't wake up, they slashed effortlessly, the feeling was hearty, and even a little unfinished.
