Chapter 53: Night Attack (I)

Outside the city.

The Qin army camped in the area, and a small number of Xiaowu troops built embankments in the upper reaches of the Qingshui River.

The remaining Qin army, under the arrangement of Wei Che, Ji Liankai, Yang Jingluo, Ruan Xinghe, Cao Jian'an and others, is already preparing for war quickly.

Ji Liankai is leading the troops to secretly make wooden platoons, collect fire oil, and want to secretly enter Yicheng at night, prevent fire in the city, burn the Huben military camp and granary, and anger Gongsun Ang.

Cao Jian'an was still leading his troops to harass the defenders of Yicheng in preparation for Ruan Xinghe's attack on Yicheng.

Wei Che and Yang Jingluo, in accordance with Ji Xuanling's arrangement, transferred the military rations, designed traps in the barracks, and waited for Gongsun Ang to ambush them when the Tiger Ben army came.

The starry sky is dark and the night is pitched.

A Qin army of 500 people, under the cover of the dark night, carried wooden platoons and carried fire oil, and marched silently along the path towards the Qingshui River.

If you want to enter the river from the upstream, you will mix into the city along the Qingshui River.

In the process, the scouts came to report that there was a tiger army out of the city at the west gate of Yicheng, and they were coming upstream along the official road to the Qingshui River.

Tiger army out of the city?

Heading upstream of the Qingshui River?

Ji Liankai was surprised when he heard the news.

Isn't it that the Tiger Benjun discovered the traces of the Qin army, and Ji Liankai muttered secretly?

He was afraid that the Tiger Ben army would come to him and thwart his plan to lead his troops into Yicheng.

Unable to guess the other party's intentions, he quickly ordered the Xiaowu army to hide in the grass next to the path, and sent scouts to the upper reaches of the Qingshui River to remind the Qin army stationed there to hide in advance, so as not to be caught off guard and killed by the Tiger Ben army.

When he was young, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the official road, and under the night sky where he couldn't see his fingers, there was a large force of tiger soldiers riding horses, Ji Liankai and the Xiaowu army hidden in the grass, holding their breath, and not daring to breathe.

For fear that if you are a little careless, you will be exposed.

However, after the Tiger Ben army approached, they did not make any stops, and went straight to the west.

Didn't this Tiger Ben army come for them, and rushed straight west, afraid that it would kill the Qin army that was building a dam upstream?

In this way, the king and the generals underestimated the ability of the Tiger Army, but also overestimated the patience of the Tiger Army.

Gongsun Ang sent troops to surprise attack the Qin army in the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, and it was still possible to send troops to attack the Qin army camp at night.

Ji Liankai muttered secretly, seeing the Tiger Ben Army passing in front of their eyes, his expression was extremely serious, and he instructed his own soldiers: "Return to the barracks immediately, report the situation to the king, and beware of the Tiger Ben Army attacking the barracks at night!" ”

"Whoa!"

The scout departed. Ji Liankai did not stay, took the Xiaowu army to continue to move forward, arrived at the middle reaches of the Qingshui River, and rode towards Yicheng.

When he was about to arrive outside Yicheng, Ji Liankai ordered Xiaowu to lie on the wooden platoon, move forward silently, and with the help of the boiling water, the sound of the water was covered, and mixed into the city.

Yicheng!

Within the city wall of the north gate, 40,000 armored tigers and elite horsemen lined up, all in high spirits and with high momentum, waiting for military orders.

On the tower of the city, Gongsun Ang was wearing armor, holding a spear, and staring at the northern Qin army camp with a cold expression.

After nightfall, in the Qin military camp, the bonfire gradually dimmed, and at this moment, in the military camp, there was only a sparse fire.

According to his experience in leading troops, the Qin army patrolled as usual, and most of them would not have expected that the Tiger Ben army would be killed.

While thinking about it, a fast horse rushed from the north, and the scout sat on the horse's back, looked up at Gongsun Ang, and reported in a loud voice: "General, in the Qin military camp, most of the soldiers have rested, and it is a normal patrol!" ”

"Good!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Ang shouted and walked down the city with a gun.

With a confident look, he shouted to the elite horsemen waiting in the street: "Ji Xuanling led the army to the south, led his troops to kill tens of thousands of elites of our department, tonight the Qin army is defenseless, you and the generals will kill the Qin army camp, and pay the blood debt." ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Blood debt and blood payment!" The tiger army in the city raised their troops and shouted, and their momentum was very high.

Gongsun Ang nodded with satisfaction, stepped on the war horse, pointed his spear, and shouted: "Open the city gate, and the whole army will set off!" ”

With a creak, the north gate slowly opened, and under the faint light, Gongsun Ang rushed out of the city with 40,000 elites.

Rushed all the way to the Qin military camp.

On the way, Gongsun Ang said coldly: "Lu Kang, your right arm is injured, you are incapable of fighting, lead the army to attack the Qin army's grain and grass camp, this will personally go to the Shuai tent to capture Ji Xuanling, remember, there must be no mistakes!" ”

"General, Ji Xuanling's martial arts are not bad, and it is not easy to deal with, not to mention that there is Wei Che in the Qin army!" Lu Kang said cautiously, after all, he had been injured, and he didn't dare to forget the lessons from the past.

Gongsun Ang snorted lightly, with a little disdain, and said confidently: "Wei Che, Ji Xuanling, two spearhead boys, what can I do?" Tonight, he led the army to sneak attack, the Qin army was defenseless, and the general would definitely kill Wei Che and capture Ji Xuanling alive! ”

Once, he was very jealous of the first king of Qin and the old captain of Qin, and won less and lost more in battles with them, otherwise, he would have annexed Qin as soon as possible with the military strength of Dakang.

It's a pity that one of them died young, and the other was killed by traitors.

Among the younger generation of the Qin army, there are few who can match him.

Wei Che is known for his military merits, but he is also a member of Lu Kang, with superb martial arts, and he is still not a fierce general who is in charge alone. Ji Xuanling was just starting out, and he didn't take the other party seriously.

What's more, he led the fierce Tiger Ben Army to attack at night, and never gave Ji Xuanling and Wei Che any chance to fight back.

Lu Kang didn't say much, he believed in Gongsun Ang's martial arts.

Raising his long knife, he shouted to the Tiger Ben army in the rear: "Brothers, follow the general into the northwest camp of the Qin army, first burn the grain and grass of the Qin army, and then help the general capture Ji Xuanling." ”

The voice fell, Lu Kang rode out across the good horse, and the 10,000 tigers in the rear rode closely behind, rushing towards the northwest.

Gongsun Ang grabbed the spear, snorted coldly, and led the Tiger Ben army to run head-on, killing the Qin army.

This tiger army, like a wild horse, rampaged all the way in the dark, like entering a no-man's land and breaking into the Qin military camp.

"The whole army rushes and kills, leaving no mouth alive!"

When Gongsun Ang was killing the Quartet with a gun, he roared loudly, raised his gun and rushed to kill the Qin army that rushed out in a panic in the military tent, and effortlessly slaughtered the center of the barracks, looking for the handsome tent where Ji Xuanling was located.

Found the Qin army's marshal tent in the camp, the corners of Gongsun Ang's mouth were filled with a thick killing intent, and he galloped on his horse.

What puzzled him was that although they would not encounter too strong obstruction in their sneak attack, many of the military tents where the Tiger Ben army passed were empty, and only a few military tents rushed out of the sporadic Qin army.

In the barracks, which stretched for several miles, there were only a few thousand Qin troops resisting, and the scale was far less than the number reported by the scouts.

For a moment, Gongsun Ang was faintly uneasy, and had a bad premonition, suspecting that the Qin army might have other actions in advance, or that they had already prepared when they learned of their plan.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

Just as he was hesitating, the sound of killing came from the north of the barracks, and the flames suddenly burst into the sky.

Gongsun raised his head and looked at it, the corners of his mouth secretly chuckled, since the Qin army was protecting the grain and grass, it proved that he was too worried, and he happened to eradicate the other party in one fell swoop.
