Although Huangfu Song was a famous military strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was shocked for a while because he had never seen this kind of instrument that could throw stones away.

It's not that Huangfu Song doesn't want to resist, the key is that the catapult shoots too far, and the archers can't fight back. There is a catapult that wants to go out of the city to destroy the soldiers of the state, but there are more than 100,000 people on the other side, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 on his side.

With the temporary retreat of the Bingzhou soldiers, the Xiliang soldiers on Tongguan City dared to gradually show their heads.

Huangfu Song got up and glanced at the ruins and corpses that had been smashed out of the stones, sighed deeply, and stared at the military camp of the state army for a long time.

After a long time, Huangfu Song muttered to himself: "Alas! The young man in the mountain village has grown into a towering tree at this time! ”

Immediately, Huangfu Song turned around and said: "Clean up the corpses immediately, carry the injured soldiers down for treatment, and let everyone withdraw to the city to stand by, only a small number of soldiers will be left on the city to hide behind the arrow battlements and watch, once the state troops attack the city, immediately let the soldiers in the city come up!" "In the face of catapults, a lethal siege weapon, Huangfu Song can only choose to avoid the edge temporarily.

At the same time, Huangfu Song was also calculating that if he could steal the drawings of the catapult from the Bingzhou military camp, then whether it was defending or besieging the city, it would be invincible.

In the dead of night, ropes fell from the city wall, and hundreds of Xiliang soldiers climbed to the bottom of the city along the ropes, and quietly touched the Bingzhou military camp under the cover of night.

These hundreds of people are the dead soldiers selected by Huangfu Song from the Xiliang soldiers, and after promising a heavy reward, these people plan to take the risk to go to the Bingzhou military camp to catch a few craftsmen, or draw the structural drawings of the catapult, as long as they have the drawings of the catapult, they can also create this kind of long-range attack weapon and put it on the city, so that they can take advantage of the advantages of Tongguan City, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people, don't want to capture Tongguan.

Therefore, Huangfu Song decided that he would get the drawings of the catapult no matter what, even if he didn't dedicate it to Liu Xie, no matter which prince he took refuge in the future, he would have a foothold.

In this way, hundreds of Xiliang soldiers took advantage of the cover of night to quietly approach the Bingzhou military camp.

and state barracks

Mu Yi's favorite thing is to sneak attack the enemy's military camp at night, so the military camp of the state soldiers is quite tightly defended, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and there are countless open posts and secret posts.

Outside a remote fence, a soldier stood straight with a spear in hand.

The torches in the barracks were lit as if it were daylight.

From time to time, a group of state soldiers patrolled outside the barracks.

As soon as a team of patrolling Bingzhou soldiers walked over, the moment the figure disappeared, a Xiliang soldier quietly touched the back of the Bingzhou soldiers who were standing guard.

When he got close to the Bingzhou soldier, the Xiliang soldier suddenly broke out, covered the mouth of the Bingzhou soldier with his left hand, and pulled out a bull's ear sharp knife from his waist with his right hand, and wiped it at the throat of the Bingzhou soldier.

The Bingzhou who was covered in his mouth knew at the first time that this was a night attack to prevent being attacked by someone and wiping his neck, and the Bingzhou soldiers often trained, so this Bingzhou soldier hurriedly threw away the spear in his hand at the moment when his mouth was covered, and his left arm was across his throat.

"Poof!"

The blade slashed through the soldier's arm, leaving a wound nearly a foot long, and blood gushed down the wound.

However, this soldier didn't care about the pain of the wound, and grabbed Xiliang Bing's arm holding the ox ear sharp knife with both hands and threw it over-the-shoulder.

Xiliang Bing was not stupid, the moment the other party grabbed his arm, he knew that the other party was going to use his shoulder to fall, and immediately put his left hand on the waist of the Bing Zhou Bing.

The soldier who crossed the shoulder fell and didn't use it, changed his move in an instant, dragged the opponent's arm and took two steps forward, and his body quickly squatted.

As a result, the Xiliang soldiers behind him were caught off guard, and their bodies rushed forward under inertia, but the opponent suddenly squatted down, dodging and mixing with the soldiers of Bingzhou.

The final result was that the Xiliang soldiers failed to sneak attack, and they flew over the other party's head, and a dog gnawed on the mud.

Throwing off the Xiliang soldiers, the state soldiers immediately pulled out the steel knife from their waists, looked around vigilantly and shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a large number of figures appeared around, trying to escape by the night.

These people are the Xiliang soldiers lurking around, originally they were the dead soldiers selected by Huangfu Song, but now that they have been exposed, if they still stupidly run up to send them to death, it will be meaningless!

At present, what they have to do is not to fight with the merger state soldiers, but to leave here quickly and tell Huangfu Song about the defense of the merge state soldiers.

Under the night sky, with a shout, both the open posts and the secret sentinels all moved, and even the soldiers patrolling in the distance rushed towards this side.

A large number of soldiers chased after the Xiliang soldiers with torches, and the secret sentinels hidden in the darkness kept firing their bows and arrows, and a terrible scream resounded under the night sky.

"Woo Woo ......"

Arrows flew wildly, and from time to time, Xiliang soldiers fell to the ground, and even if they were lucky enough not to die, they would be stabbed by the Bingzhou soldiers who caught up, or stabbed through the body with spears.

"Brother, are you alright?" A chief walked up to the soldier who had been stabbed in the arm and asked.

The soldier raised his hand, looked at the wound on his arm, and sighed, "Phew! He~mother~,If he hadn't taught some anti-sneak attack moves during training, his life would have been thrown here today! Dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu, and if you say anything, you will avenge this knife! ”

With that, he brandished the steel knife in his hand and chased after him.

The big tent of the Chinese army, Mu Yi rushed out of the big tent of the Chinese army wearing a cloak, and looked at it surrounded by a group of guards.

"What happened?" Mu Yi asked with a cold gaze.

"Lord Qiqi, hundreds of Xiliang soldiers have attacked the barracks, and they have been discovered by the soldiers standing guard, and they are currently being chased and killed!" One of the guards replied with a bow.

"How many are there?" Mu Yi asked again.

"I can't see very clearly in the dark night, probably estimated that there may be about five hundred!"

Mu Yi smiled coldly: "Hmph! Sneak attack! This is a certain specialty, since you like to play like this, then such and such can only be repaid by the other! ”

Immediately, Mu Yi waved his hand and said: "Order, so that the brothers don't have to chase, so that the Xiliang soldiers don't set up ambushes!" ”

"Whoa!"

Tongguan City

Huangfu Song looked at the battle in the military camp in the distance, and knew that the sneak attack had failed without thinking about it!

Since he failed, Huangfu Song could only sigh and said to the herald on the side: "Go down and arrange more manpower to prevent the state soldiers from counterattacking the night attack." ”

"Whoa!"

Huangfu Song sent people to infiltrate the military camp of Bingzhou, and the starting point was correct, but Mu Yi's tight defense made him return in vain, and he also lost two or three hundred people.

Huangfu Song was deflated, and Zhang Ji's heart blossomed happily, and he drank a little wine proudly.
