Chapter 758: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Knowing that Cen Peng had decided to give up attacking Deng County and instead attack Shandu County, Qin Feng immediately decided to set up an ambush on the road and hit Cen Peng by surprise.
Qin Feng led the main force under his command and quietly left Dengcheng at night and marched in the direction of Shandu County.
The next day, there was no movement in the Han army camp, and it was exactly the same as usual. However, after nightfall, a Han army quietly left the camp.
It's just that this Han army did not go to Shandu County, but bypassed Deng County in front of it, went all the way south, and went straight to Atou Mountain.
Atou Mountain is an important part of the triangular defense line in Deng County, and it is also garrisoned by Qin Feng's right-hand man Zhang Yang.
If the nail of Atou Mountain can be successfully pulled, it can not only cut off one of Qin Feng's right-hand men, but also open a gap in the defense line of Deng County, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The strength of this Han army is not much, only about 5,000 people, and the person who personally led this Han army is none other than the general of Zhengnan, Cen Peng Cen Junran.
The location of Atou Mountain can be described as unique, belonging to the junction of three counties. To the west of Atou Mountain is Hanzhong County, to the north of Atou Mountain is Nanyang County, and to the south of Atou Mountain is Nanjun.
At present, the Qin Feng army, led by Zhang Yang, is stationed on the top of the main peak of Atou Mountain. Atou Mountain is not high, and there are no cliffs, but there are forests everywhere above and below the mountain.
If attacking from the bottom of the hill to the top of the mountain, it is not easy for the attacker to form a formation, while the defender can sit back and wait for the work, either firing arrows or throwing rolling rocks, which can cause huge casualties to the attacker.
Cen Peng led 5,000 Han soldiers and soldiers, under the guidance of local hunters, and silently entered the Atou Mountain boundary in the dark. Worried that they would be discovered by Qin Fengjun's eyeliner, they didn't dare to take the mountain road, so they could only walk through the woods.
Including Cen Peng, people are one foot high and one foot low, and from time to time someone falls to the ground.
But in the forest, you can only hear the sound of popping, but you can't understand the people's voices, the Han soldiers are holding a wooden stick in their mouths, Cen Peng has already given an order, no matter who it is, as long as the wooden stick in the mouth falls, the military law will severely punish it.
So even if people fall, their teeth are clenched, for fear that as soon as their mouths are released, the sticks will fall off.
The boundary of Atou Mountain is not very big, but Cen Peng and the other Han troops walked for two hours before approaching the main peak where Qin Feng's army was stationed.
Looking at the top of the mountain, the trees above the halfway point of the mountain have basically been cut down, and all that remains is bare stones.
At intervals, there is a torch on the ground, so that the whole mountain will not be illuminated as bright as day, but as far as the eye can see, it is also a little firelight, and it is almost impossible for the people under the mountain to touch the top of the mountain silently.
After looking at it, Cen Peng nodded secretly, this Zhang Yang was extremely cautious, and he didn't give his side a chance to sneak up on him at all. He tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "What time is it?" ”
"Returning to the general, just arrived ugly."
It's 1 to 3 a.m. When I first arrived at the ugly, it was just after one o'clock in the morning.
Cen Peng nodded, he narrowed his eyes, watched for a while, and said in a low voice: "Commanding brothers, rest here in place, no fire, no sound, and wait for my orders to act." ”
"Yes! General! Cen Peng's order was quickly conveyed. The 5,000 Han army sat down to rest in the dense forest of Atou Mountain, and most of the soldiers closed their eyes, intending to take advantage of this time to sleep first.
Cen Pengke didn't sleep, he kept staring at the mountain ahead.
As the minutes passed, I watched the torches on the mountain turn from light to dark, and then extinguished one after another, but soon, the extinguished torches were replaced by new ones.
Cen Peng sat under a large tree and watched motionlessly. I don't know how long it took, the light of the new batch of torches gradually dimmed, Cen Peng tilted his head and whispered, "What time is it?" ”
"Back to the general, more than half of the time."
It was between 3 and 5 a.m., and more than half of the time was more than 4 a.m. Cen Peng squinted his eyes, this time was the darkest time before dawn, and it was also the most sleepy time of the day.
Cen Peng looked at the torches on the mountain again, and he whispered, "Call Wei Lun here!" ”
Wei Lun was a lieutenant in the Southern Expeditionary Army, with a small official position, but he was mainly responsible for reporting. After a short time, Wei Lun came to Cen Peng's approach, intervened in the salute, and said, "General! ”
Cen Peng said: "You take the elite of your subordinates, touch the mountain first, if you encounter the enemy's eyeliner, you can kill it, but you must not alarm the enemy!" ”
"Subordinates obey!" Wei Lun is a short, thin man, his appearance is not good, but his eyes are big and round, like a monkey has become fine.
With a group of elite scouts, he risked his waist and ran out of the woods quickly, heading straight for the foot of the mountain.
These people, all dressed in black, almost integrated with the night, their bodies were fast and agile, and they only flashed a few times, and they disappeared into the forest at the foot of the mountain. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Cen Peng gave the order to attack with the whole army.
The 5,000 Han soldiers led by Cen Peng ran out of the forest one by one and ran to the foot of the mountain. Several Han soldiers were extremely fast and rushed into the forest first.
They had barely gone far when they felt a limp under their feet, as if they had tripped over something, and they fell to the ground.
A soldier hurriedly sat up from the ground, feeling that his palms were sticky, he raised his hand, brought it to his eyes, and looked closely, only to see that his palm had turned a piece of blood red.
His face changed suddenly, and he looked to the sidelines, only to see a still warm corpse lying on the ground.
The corpse's throat was slit, its eyes were wide open, its mouth was wide open, and blood was pouring down the ground. The soldier subconsciously covered his mouth so that he would not scream.
In fact, there was not one, but several, corpses here, either with their throats cut or shot in the head, and they were all killed on the spot without making a sound.
At this time, Cen Peng also walked over, squatted down, and looked around, these corpses were all wearing Qin Fengjun's military uniforms, and it could be seen that they were hidden sentinels in the forest, and they were killed by Wei Lun and others one by one without defense.
Cen Peng waved his hand to the people around him, motioning for them to move on.
From the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, there are forests as cover, and the movement of Cen Peng and others is also unimpeded, and when they are halfway up the mountain, Cen Peng raised his arm and signaled the soldiers behind him not to go.
Further up, there is no more forest cover. Cen Peng slowly crouched down and looked at the torches on the upper half of the hillside.
At this time, the light of the torches is weaker, and in the night, the faint light of the fire is constantly beating, and it looks like it could be extinguished at any moment.
Cen Peng watched intently, and finally, a torch was extinguished, and after a short time, the torches were extinguished one after another, and after waiting for a while, the torches were extinguished one by one.
Seeing this, the eyes of the soldiers of the Han army lit up, and they just waited for Cen Peng to give an order, so that they could rush to the top of the mountain. However, Peng Cen kept raising his arms and never put them down. He was waiting, waiting to see if anyone would come to replace the torches.
I waited for a while, until the light appeared in the sky, and no one came to change the torches.
That's when Cen Peng was waiting. By this time, the people were already tired, and the sky was about to dawn, and there would be no thankless replacement of torches.
Cen Peng lifted his three-pointed, two-edged knife and swung it forward. Seeing this, all the soldiers got up in unison, ran out of the woods, and rushed towards the mountain with all their might. The timing of Cempeng's attack was too good.
At this time, it happened to be a time when the sky was almost bright but not yet bright, and no one came to replace the torches after they were extinguished.
The 5,000 Han troops, under the leadership of Cen Peng, rushed up and climbed the hillside with all their might, and there was no shouting, only the wheezing of people and the friction of armor.
Hearing that the movement at the bottom of the mountain was not quite right, on the top of the mountain, a guard was awakened in his sleep, he staggered to his feet, walked to the edge of the hillside, and looked down.
The torches on the hillside had been extinguished, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing to be seen in the black rumbling below.
He stepped aside, picked up a torch, and shone it down the hill, but the light of the torch was limited and could not shine too far, but he could faintly see that there seemed to be a dark shadow shaking on the hillside.
He opened his mouth and was about to scream, when suddenly, a crossbow arrow flew out of the darkness, impartial, and hit him in the throat.
The soldier didn't say a word, he fell to the ground on his back, and the torch rolled aside. This arrow was fired by a Han scout who was ambushed on the hillside.
The 5,000 Han troops led by Cen Peng completely touched the top of the mountain unconsciously. Those Qin Feng's soldiers who were standing guard were still asleep, and their throats were cut by the Han soldiers who touched the approach.
The Han army that rushed to the top of the mountain poured into Qin Fengjun's garrison like a tide, and people burrowed into the camp tent and killed Qin Fengjun, who was still sleeping inside.
I saw that the people raised their spears in their hands, aimed them at the people on the bed, and kept stabbing the spears down, pulling them out, stabbing them again, and pulling them out again.
For a while, the popping sound in the camps was endless, and the screams came and went. Cen Peng ignored others, he carried a three-pointed two-edged knife and went straight to the direction of the Chinese military tent.
Zhang Yang, the main general stationed in Atou Mountain, was also asleep at this time, and the screams outside suddenly woke him up, he was clever, turned over and sat up, and asked loudly: "What's going on outside?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard ran in from outside in a panic, and when he saw Zhang Yang sitting on the bed, he stammered, "Will ...... General, the big thing is not good, the enemy army ...... The enemy has attacked the mountain......"
When Zhang Yang heard this, his head buzzed, and he stood up suddenly, shouting, "How did the enemy attack?" Why is there no movement at all? ”
"Small...... The little ones don't know either, the enemy army ...... It was as if the enemy army had fallen from the sky, and suddenly ...... Suddenly appeared on the mountain! ”
Zhang Yang glared at the guard for a moment, then walked quickly to the hanger, took off the armor on it, and put it on himself. By the time he put on his armor and walked out of his tent, the whole camp was already in chaos.
There were screams of people everywhere, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere, and before Zhang Yang could see the situation around him clearly, he saw several Han soldiers with spears in their hands and covered in blood rushing towards him. "Kill—" Several Han soldiers shouted one after another, holding their spears, and walked to Zhang Yang's approach. Although Zhang Yang is known for his resourcefulness, his force is not weak. He held his spear and flicked it forward, bouncing off the oncoming long
At the same time, the spear stabbed the Han soldiers on the opposite side to the heart.
He quickly put away his gun, and swung it left and right, snapping twice, and the other two Han soldiers were hit in the head by the gun and fell to the ground.
Zhang Yang had just killed three Han soldiers, and more than a dozen people ran in front of him. Zhang Yang roared angrily and raised his gun to meet him.
This spear, which was used by Zhang Yang like a swimming dragon, rushed to the Han soldiers in front of him, and they were all knocked to the ground. Just when Zhang Yang was killing in front of the Chinese military tent, Cen Peng rushed over. Seeing Zhang Yang holding a spear and his own soldiers who fell around him, Cen Peng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he stepped forward with a knife and slashed directly at the top of Zhang Yang's head.
