Chapter 953: Midnight Attack
The night became as deep as thick ink. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Outside the barracks southwest of Weiqiu, Gan Ben, the deputy general of the third battalion of the Wei Yanling Army, stood on the east bank of the unknown river with his arms crossed, staring intently at the other side of the river in the deep night.
I don't know how long it took, as if he was aware of it, he glanced back alertly, and his left hand subconsciously pressed the scabbard hanging from his waist, because he saw two figures approaching him without concealment.
"Adjutant General." One of the figures lowered their voices and said hello.
"Crows? These guys are really ......
Gan Ben waited vigilantly for the other party to approach, and after seeing that the two figures were familiar faces in recent days, he shook his head helplessly.
This is true of the crows, and so is the crows, as if these hidden thieves like to be elusive, even in front of friendly troops, and I don't know if it is to highlight their status from ordinary soldiers.
Removing his left hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, Gan Ben asked in a low voice, "Is there any order from His Highness?" β
"Not really." The green crow shook his head and said, "We were just sent here to ensure that the deputy general smuggled across this river to avoid being discovered by the Korean army sentry on the opposite side." β
In fact, Ganben has been paying attention to the timing of the change of guard of the South Korean army patrol on the other side of the river in the past few days - there are traces of this thing.
In an army, the timing of patrol changes is generally fixed, because it is almost impossible for a general who is responsible for guarding an area to change the patrol schedule every day, unless there is an indication that the previous patrol schedule has been detected by enemy forces.
Therefore, for the Korean army who was going to smuggle across the river in front of him tonight and quietly cross the river to attack the other side of the river, Gan Ben was actually sure in his heart.
However, after hearing the words of this green crow, a little wonder rose in his heart: Sure? How do you crows ensure that our troops can cross the river smoothly without alerting the South Korean patrols?
Thinking of this, he asked curiously, "How to ensure it?" β
The crows grinned, and said lightly, "Kill those guards." β
Ganben was stunned for a moment, because he was not very familiar with the other party, he didn't ask much, but just responded casually.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was around the time of the child.
At this time, the green crows suddenly hugged their fists towards Ganben and whispered, "The hour is almost up, then, I will cross the river first." β
"Be the first to cross the river?"
Gan Ben was stunned for a moment, and he said in his heart: The pontoon bridge used to cross the river is still in the barracks where I am stationed, how do you cross the river?
Probably noticing Ganben's strange gaze, the green crow grinned, and then walked straight to the river beach, and in Ganben's puzzled gaze, he actually went down the river silently.
After this person, Gan Ben noticed that there were actually hundreds of green crows lurking in this area, and these figures went down the river one after another, swimming to the opposite bank in the icy water.
γβ¦β¦γ
Ganben was dumbfounded.
You must know that Gan Ben was born in the area of Chu County, grew up by the vortex river since he was a child, and is well versed in water, but he still does not dare to jump into the river in this cold winter.
Of course, when you are in the river, it is not too cold, the key is that the moment you climb ashore from the water, when the cold night wind blows through the wet body, the cold and biting feeling, even if you are a soldier who has been tested on the battlefield for a long time, I am afraid that most of them will not be able to bear it.
Of course, this is only for ordinary soldiers, as for the hidden thieves, this may just be commonplace, after all, the hidden thieves have been specially trained in this area, and in terms of willpower, it is not comparable to ordinary soldiers.
"Rustleβ"
Just as Ganben stared at the calm river in front of him with wide eyes, a faint sound could be heard behind him.
It turned out that it was a Wei sergeant carrying a pontoon bridge used to cross the river and quietly moving to this side.
"Ganben, what are you looking at?"
A figure flashed to Ganben's side and asked curiously.
This person is Gan Ben's colleague, and he is also the general of the third battalion of the Yanling Army, She Li.
"See how the crows swim to the other side of the river." Gan Ben whispered.
Hearing this, She Li also opened his mouth in surprise and looked at the river in front of him incredulously.
After a long time, he asked in surprise, "Have the crows crossed the river?" How did they come? β
"To ensure the success of this operation." Gan Ben said lightly, and then asked, "Did you bring something?" β
"Hmm." She Li nodded, and then after carefully looking at the movement on the other side of the river, he ordered in a low voice: "Build a pontoon bridge and cross the river." β
Hearing this, the black-pressed Wei soldiers carried the pontoon bridges to the riverbank, carefully lowered several pontoon bridges into the water, and then pushed them to the other side of the river.
Subsequently, as the Wei soldiers on the east bank struggled together, the other end of the pontoon bridge was erected on the beach on the other side of the river with the buoyancy of the water.
"Up!"
Ganben waved his hand and ordered in a low voice.
Immediately, there were Wei soldiers lined up in a long line and quietly crossed the river along the pontoon bridge.
This unknown river is only seven or eight zhang wide, so that as long as the pontoon bridge is erected, it will not be a problem for the Wei soldiers to cross this river in a short time.
What's more, for tonight's battle, the Wei army secretly built more than a dozen or twenty pontoon bridges in the barracks under the guise of building antlers.
Suddenly, Gan Ben noticed the direction of Weiqiu behind him, and there were faint footsteps.
He immediately realized that this was the friendly troops on Weiqiu Mountain coming down the mountain - tonight's battle was the joint action of nearly 20,000 surprise attack troops of the Wei army in the Weiqiu area, whether it was a ruined cauldron or a battle against the water, anyway, all the food was eaten, and all the strength would also be used for tonight's battle, once they set foot on the other side of the river, the nearly 20,000 Wei army surprise attack troops here had no way to retreat, and there were only two endings to meet them: either to defeat the Korean army on the west bank of the river, or to be defeated by the Korean army.
If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Up!"
In the silence and deep darkness of the night, the Wei soldiers quietly crossed the river along the pontoon bridge and advanced towards the Korean army camp with colorful bonfires in the distance.
Along the way, they barely encountered the patrol guards of the South Korean army, as if those patrol guards had really been assassinated by the crows.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the campfire of the Han army, the Wei soldiers, who were demoralized because of the words of His Royal Highness King Su, showed a hideous and fierce look one by one, and their bodies were full of danger.
It was as if they were hunters at night, and the Han military camp in front of them was their prey.
At the same time, inside and outside the camps of the Han army with colorful bonfires in the distance, those Han soldiers and soldiers had not yet discovered that a major crisis was gradually enveloping them, and even the three Han generals in the army at the level of the Beiyuan Ten Heroes were not aware of it.
Jin Huang and Feng Ying had rested early in their respective tents at this moment, but the violent kite was still lying on the bed of his handsome tent, thinking about the whole thing repeatedly with his hands on his pillow.
In the daylight today, because he learned that Ji Run, the prince of Wei, might have quietly fled to Taihang Mountain from the east side of Weiqiu, the storm kite immediately sent a large number of cavalry to intercept it.
But for some reason, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
It is undeniable that, as Feng Ying said, under the current circumstances, that Wei Gongzirun decided to abandon the car to protect the commander, abandon the 5,000 or so Wei soldiers and keep the remaining nearly 15,000 Wei soldiers, which is a very wise choice.
It's just that Wei Gongzi Run, will he really do this?
I have to say that, putting aside the camp of the enemy and us, the violent kite has a good impression of Wei Gongzi Ji Run, because the army under the command of Wei Gongzi has never made any moves to harass Korean civilians, let alone arrest local Korean civilians everywhere, and use these civilians as bargaining chips to blackmail the Korean army.
Therefore, in the eyes of the tyrannical kite, that Wei Gongzi Run is not only an excellent commander, but also an upright and upright gentleman.
Would such a character do something to abandon his loyal soldiers?
γβ¦β¦ But if he didn't intend to leave his army behind and flee, then how could he explain the matter east of Weiqiu?"
The storm kite scratched its head, really a little puzzled.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and muttered, "Could it be that the tiger is diverted from the mountain...... Trying to break up the cavalry under our command? β
Thinking of this, he turned over and sat up, the shock on his face getting stronger and stronger.
Because if that Wei Gongzi Run really planned to divert the tiger away from the mountain and deliberately tried to take away the cavalry in the Han camp, then the other party's true intentions would be self-evident.
Night Raid!
Fight to the death!
Thinking of this, the violent kite stood up suddenly, walked out of the tent, and shouted to the soldiers on duty outside the tent: "Quick, quick......"
But before he could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of fighting coming from the west side of the entire barracks.
He took a few steps and looked at the west side of the barracks, and vaguely saw that on the west side of the barracks, there was a faint fire rising to the sky.
"Sure enough!"
The violent kite's face was straight, and he immediately shouted: "Quick! Quickly send out a warning signal, the Wei army is coming to attack the camp! β
"Bell, bell, bellβ"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! β
A moment later, a group of Han soldiers struck their shields with their long swords as they quickly ran over the tents.
Hearing the movement in the camp, the Korean soldiers in the tent rushed out with weapons in hand and asked about the changes in the camp.
Including Han generals Jin Huang and Feng Ting.
"What happened?" Grabbing a soldier who was running and shouting, Jin Di asked in surprise.
Seeing this, the soldier replied: "General Hui, the Wei army has attacked our army camp!" β
Probably a little dazed in his sleep, Jin Di frowned and asked puzzledly, "Which Wei army?" β
The soldier glanced at Jin Huang strangely and replied, "Wei Qiu's Wei army! β
Jin Huang let go of the soldier, watched him continue to run and shout, and glanced at Feng Ying who came out of the tent opposite, and his heart was really a little unable to turn around.
"Wei Qiu's Wei army? That is to say, it is not the reinforcements from the Hyun Clan's city, but the army under the command of Wei Gongzirun? Can...... But isn't that Wei Gongzirun planning to flee to Taihang Mountain? For this reason, we also sent all the cavalry in the general to block the ...... Intercept ......
may have been blown by the cold wind, Jin Di and Feng Ying gradually came to their senses and figured out the whole thing.
"Actually...... Take the initiative? β
Licking his somewhat dry lips, Feng Ting's complexion was not very good-looking.
He never thought that the Wei army, which was obviously besieged in the Weiqiu area, would actually take the initiative to attack their military camp at night.
After glancing at each other, Jin Di and Feng Ying quickly put on their armor and rushed to the western camp where the war broke out.
They have realized that tonight's battle is about each other's fate.
