"Want to ask for and? Hmph~" Cao Wei threw a letter in his hand on the desk, with a sneer of disdain on his face, and Li Zhang and the others below were also shocked when they heard this, because this letter was sent by Li Deming, who had been refusing to retreat outside the city.

Although Li Deming suffered a defeat last time, he was not willing to lose, but regrouped and killed again, but this time he did not dare to fight with the Song army again, but divided into two ways, one way to contain the main force of the Great Song Dynasty here in Tuoyuan Village, and the other way to go around to the rear to sneak attack Gyeongju City, but Cao Wei had already prepared, and Gyeongju was also heavily defended, and the way to attack Gyeongju City was not only not taken advantage of, but was sent by Cao Wei to send a cavalry to attack their back road, which made the party suffer heavy losses again.

"General, the battle has come to this point, and we have gained the upper hand, we must not let go of the party members so easily!" At this time, I saw that Wang Fang, the guard of Tuoyuan Village, immediately stood up and stated his position.

Now the Great Song Dynasty has the upper hand, and after the party people who attacked Gyeongju went deep into the rear, the people along the road also suffered, and countless villages were destroyed, so Gyeongju was also very angry, which was also when Cao Wei sent cavalry to sneak attack the other party's back road, and the attack was also extremely ruthless, if it wasn't for Li Deming to send troops to respond, I am afraid that the party members who attacked Gyeongju would have to die under the city of Gyeongju, but even so, less than one-third of the party cavalry who fled back in the end.

Wang Fang is a veteran in the army, and his attitude also represents the attitude of most of the generals in the army, so at this time, other generals have also stated that they must fight to the end, the party's army has suffered great losses, and it is a labor expedition, and the pressure on logistics must be very great, as long as they drag each other to the death, maybe they can leave all the main forces of the party here.

"Of course, you can't let them go so easily, the whole army is ready to attack the party camp at night tonight!" Cao Wei sneered at this time, and then opened his mouth to order.

As soon as Cao Wei's words came out, everyone was stunned, after all, they didn't expect Cao Wei to take the initiative to attack, and the time was still so tight, but then they became excited again, because they thought that this was a good opportunity, Li Deming sent a letter asking for peace, I am afraid that they would not have thought that the Song army would attack their camp tonight, after all, according to common sense, even if the Great Song received the document to ask for peace, it would take a few days to consider.

"Wang Fang, order you to lead three thousand cavalry, act as the vanguard of the night attack, be sure to rush away from the opponent's camp, and then set fire to the palace to create chaos in the opponent's camp as much as possible......" Cao Wei also smiled slightly when he saw the reaction of his soldiers, and then issued one order after another, and the generals who received the military orders also took the orders one by one.

Cao Ma and Hu Yan Shouxin next to him were also very excited at first, but when they heard the end, Cao Wei didn't call their names, which made them all a little anxious, until everyone else was gone, Cao Ma asked eagerly: "Father, what are the arrangements for our musket army?" ”

"You ......" Cao Wei showed a hesitant expression at this time, because the musket army is actually not suitable for participating in night attacks, after all, the vision at night is not clear, and the musket is easy to injure their own people by mistake, plus this time it is an active attack, and the two sides will be in close contact at that time, and it is difficult for the musket to play a role in long-distance killing, but if it is close to the enemy, I am afraid it will have to pay a lot of casualties.

"You don't want to participate in this night raid......"

As soon as Cao Wei's words came out, he saw Cao Yu and said very anxiously: "Father, you can't favor one over the other, although our musket army is restricted at night, other branches of the army are similar, and the party members are blind at night, as long as we can kill the camp, we can also play a big role!" ”

Seeing his son's anxious appearance, Cao Wei smiled calmly and said, "What's the hurry, I haven't finished my words yet!" ”

I saw Cao Wei deliberately pause when he said this, and even picked up the tea bowl next to him and took a sip of tea, which made Cao Yu and Hu Yan Shouxin also scratch their ears and cheeks in a hurry, and finally saw Cao Wei say again: "You don't participate in this night attack, but I have other arrangements!" ”

Cao Wei said this, took down a map from the table, and then pointed to a position behind the party's camp and said: "This is called Ghost Horse Road, if this sneak attack is successful, Li Deming's defeat will definitely retreat from here, because this is the only way to return to the party, your task is to immediately bypass the party's camp, and then ambush here, and when the party's defeated soldiers pass by here, kill him again by surprise!" ”

"Understood!" Cao Ma and Hu Yan Shouxin immediately shouted excitedly when they heard this, although it was a pity that they could not participate in the night attack, but their musket army was indeed very affected at night, and it was easy to hurt friendly soldiers, but there was no such concern when they were ambushed on the road of retreat of the party, if they were lucky, maybe they could capture or kill Li Deming alive, of course, provided that Li Deming could survive the night attack of the Song army.

After receiving the order, Cao Ma and Hu Yan kept their faith and immediately went back to prepare, in fact, their time was even tighter, because they had to avoid the eyes and ears of the party to go around to the rear, and at the same time they had to do a good job of ambushing, but their time was running out, so soon after they returned, the musketeers quietly left Tuoyuan Village under their leadership, and marched all the way to Guima Road.

Li Zhang actually wanted to go with Cao Mata and them, but unfortunately Cao Wei didn't allow him to go out of the city at all, so he also gave him a task, that is, to temporarily hand over the wounded barracks to him for management, during this time Li Zhang also wrote out some of the charters of the wounded barracks, and the method of wound suturing was also taught to the military doctor, in fact, this method is difficult to say, simple and simple, and the human body is far from being as fragile as people think.

In addition, Li Zhang also made a discovery, that is, the resistance of the ancients' bodies was far stronger than that of later generations, such as the wounded soldiers he treated last time, only herbal medicines were used after the wounds were stitched up, and anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics were not used at all, but most of them were not infected.

Of course, this is also normal, after all, because of the abuse of antibiotics and other drugs in later generations, not only the human body has become a little fragile, the resistance to external germs is reduced, but also the resistance of bacteria and viruses is enhanced, and even "superbugs" appear, if the bacteria in the future evolve into this superbug, even if the human race does not perish, I am afraid that it will have to pay an extremely heavy price.

There is no way to participate in the night attack, Li Zhang can only stay in Tuoyuan Village, although the wounded barracks are handed over to him for the time being, but Li Zhang does not intend to overstep his authority, after all, there are special officials here, so Li Zhang just checked it, and found that the wounded barracks have made great changes according to their own requirements, especially the sanitary conditions, not only the gauze has been steamed with boiling water, but even the ground has been cleaned very clean, which makes him very satisfied, and then let the original officials perform their duties, he just hangs a name.

The night in early spring is still quite cold, but Li Zhang climbed the city against the cold north wind after the night fell, and then tried his best to look at the party camp in the distance, the party camp is about five miles away from Tuoyuan Village, originally Li Deming was defeated last time, and the camp retreated several miles at once, but now in order to contain the Song army in the city, he moved back.

The distance of five miles is not far, and it is not close to it, and it is difficult to see the situation on the side of the camp during the day, but now Li Zhang is standing on the city wall to avoid condescending, and the party camp is also brightly lit at night, so Li Zhang can still see the fire on the side of the camp.

Li Zhang stood at the head of the city with his fur fur, looking at the party camp in the distance, in fact, he had a telescope in his arms, but unfortunately this thing was useless at night, even if there was a fire in the camp opposite, but it was still not clear, and it was not as open as the naked eye.

When it was almost the third watch, the fire in the party camp slowly dimmed, and only the camp gate and other positions could still see the lights, and at the same time, the hustle and bustle in the entire camp also slowly fell silent, as if the entire camp had fallen into a deep sleep.

Although Li Zhang's feet were numb from the cold at this time, his spirit was very excited, because according to Cao Wei's order, the time to attack the camp was in the second half of the night, and now that the third watch had passed, the Song army, which had quietly sneaked out of the city, could launch a sneak attack at any time.

In this way, Li Zhang waited for nearly an hour, but just after the fourth watch, he suddenly heard a shouting and killing sound from outside the party camp in the distance, and then the entire party camp seemed to be woken up all of a sudden, starting from the position of the camp on the left, a long fire appeared in the camp, like a fire snake winding forward, obviously the cavalry led by Wang Fang killed into the camp.

Immediately after that, the fire snake turned into a ball of gunpowder and began to set fire everywhere in the camp, even if it was so far away, Li Zhang could feel the chaos in the party camp, and then the shouting and killing became louder and louder, and more and more fires appeared around the camp, obviously other Song troops also began to kill in the camp, which made the chaos in the party camp worse, and Li Zhang could even imagine the scene of the party people in the camp running around.

However, although Li Zhang was excited, no one shared his joy at this time, because Cao Wei also personally went out of the city to command this sneak attack, and Huyan Shouxin and Cao Ma were not there, as for Jinshan, these outsiders didn't know about tonight's action at all, after all, it had to be kept secret, and there was only one wild dog by his side, but the wild dog was obviously not interested in this kind of thing.

As time went by, the chaos in the party camp was also intensifying, but Li Zhang was too far away after all, and it was too dark at night, so he was not sure who would win and who would lose this sneak attack, which also made Li Zhang more anxious, but he couldn't help much, so he could only wait patiently for the news ahead.
