Night fighting was the least favorite battle of most ancient army commanders - due to the limited means of communication, fighting in the dark often caused the commander to lose effective control of his own troops. The number of uncontrollable factors on the battlefield will increase indefinitely.

But for Guan Yi, it was already the night of August 3, and the battle in Huaili was estimated to have begun. Roughly calculated, there are at least more than 100,000 troops on Shi Bao's side, but what about Jiang Wei? There are only about 60,000 people who can be put into battle (a small number of battle losses, the Meridian Valley grain road guards, and the troops who monitor Chang'an Du Pre). Although General Jiang has always won more with less since his debut, it is the Luoyang Chinese Army! I didn't look at his current side, the other party was already in a desperate situation, and he was still fighting so tenaciously.

Moreover, the soldiers of this side fought for a day today, and the people in the rear finally cleared part of the passage, if they retreated like this, wouldn't it be a waste of their previous efforts?

On that day, what made Guan Yi decide to fight at night the most was because of the overall quality and experience of Shu Han's officer corps.

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield.

Hearing the commotion of the Shu Han soldiers on the opposite side and seeing the lighting of thousands of torches in the distance, Zhou Zhi's eyes were first solemn, then desperate, and finally completely relaxed.

"Hey! That Guan Zifeng really has the courage, he actually dares to fight at night! After saying this, Zhou Zhi turned to Shi Qiao and said, "I'm sorry, Hongzu." Da Sima wanted me to stay here for at least three days. But it seems that if it is fast tonight, if it is slow, it will be tomorrow morning, and this stockade will be broken. ”

"Oh? What do you say about Zimei? ”

"Although our army is retreating step by step during the day today. But in fact, the density of our army is also increasing. So according to common sense, if Guan Zifeng retreats at night, I will take advantage of the night to rearrange the defense. At least you can delay Guan Zifeng for two more days. But the enemy's men were always sweeping the battlefield behind during the day, and their soldiers were fighting at night. So at most, tomorrow morning, the enemy's spearmen and even cavalry will be able to penetrate directly into the tent of the Chinese army. And our side is full of infantry, and we have not found a way to deal with the enemy's large array of spearmen, so we say......"

"How about surviving in death?"

"What does Hongzu mean by taking advantage of the chaos at night to sneak attack where Guan Zifeng is?"

"Yes! Zimei, during the day today, the officers and men of our army erected a new tower, and I looked at it for a while. Although it didn't take long for the enemy's trebuchets to start throwing again, I had to retreat. But I have basically determined Guan Zifeng's position according to the direction of the enemy's flag. ”

"Hahaha~~~ Hongzu is so strategic! In this way, Ben will personally lead three thousand elites to raid Guan Zifeng! ”

"Go together, go together, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!"

"Good! It is an honor to live and die with Hongzu! ”

……

It's 9 o'clock in the evening, and even the sun has already set in the middle of summer. There was no more afterglow in the sky.

With a sharp whistle, the Han soldiers, who had eaten and rested for a while, lit their torches in unison.

"Attack!"

"Huh~~~!"

Countless war drums resounded again in the quiet night sky, and tens of thousands of soldiers from different camps desperately opened their mouths and shouted hoarsely, slamming together again.

"General Qiqi Zhou, our army's raid troops have all been completed!"

At this moment, in the depths of the core of the Jin army camp, the same fire is bright. Zhou Zhi and Shi Qiao, who were draped all over their bodies, looked at the elite of three thousand people below with burning eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, some of you came here last year, and some of you came here this year. In the past few months, we have been tossed by this Guan Zifeng enough, and many of you have died at the hands of this bureaucracy! Tonight, our army's Dazhai will be broken, and the only chance to survive is to raid the location of the enemy chieftain. As long as Guan Zifeng is killed, the Shu thieves will be chaotic. At that time, we had a chance to live! ”

He gasped softly: "This raid is really a life of death." Without the determination to die, we will never succeed. Ladies and gentlemen, can I trust your loyalty? Can you rely on your bravery? ”

"I'll follow the general to the death!"

"Good! The whole army is leaving! ”

"Oh~~~!"

……

The Han and Jin sides fought for a day, and the commanders of both sides failed to get an accurate figure on how much their respective battle losses were. But in any case, it was not too difficult for the Jin army at this time to pick up one or two hundred sets of fiery red robes and armor on the Shu Han soldiers who died in battle. And Zhou Zhi's army started with two hundred elites wearing Han army armor, and more than 2,800 people in the rear did not use torches, and then the faint light in the distance, taking advantage of the thick night, began a sneak attack on the Shu Han army.

At this time, the battlefield became even more chaotic due to the fall of night. Except for the soldiers of the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Han Army, all the formations of both sides were disrupted. And even the soldiers of the Mandarin Duck Formation are extremely difficult to maintain the Sancai Formation with the smallest number of people in this dark night, and the complete Mandarin Duck Formation or anything can't be put out.

The soldiers on both sides fought at this time, relying more on the color of their respective uniforms (red and white) to simply identify, and then quickly engaged in a life-and-death struggle.

"When Lao Tzu pacifies Yongliang, we must carry out military reform, at least to get out the military ranks. In this way, when the organization is chaotic, the soldiers naturally move closer to the nearest officer, and the highest rank among several officers automatically commands. Where can there be such chaos as tonight? "On a newly built tower in the rear, after watching the Han and Jin soldiers in front of them all fighting in separate formations, only a very small number of Han soldiers formed a team to fight under the greeting of low-ranking officers. Guan Yi secretly made up his mind.

"Uncle!"

"What?"

"In front of my own formation, General Chiang's general flag!"

With Jiang Su's fingertips, Guan Yi's gaze moved to the east, but he saw that Jiang Bin's general flag in front of his own formation was actually retreating!

"What's going on? Sub-move, go and find out quickly! ”

"No!"

"Zixu, Zichun, follow me down the tower. Order all the soldiers of this formation, line up! Get ready for battle! ”

"Whoa!"

According to Guan Yi's prior arrangement, Jiang Bin led a force to attack from west to east. In today's daytime battle, his troops advanced the slowest speed, at least a few hundred meters less than Zhang Zun on the south road and Juning on the north road. As a middle-aged general who was more than ten years older than Zhang Zun and others, he couldn't hold back his face in the face of such a comparison of results. So in the evening he moved his command position forward a lot.

As a result, the Zhou Zhi team that came from the west inevitably encountered Jiang Bin's personal guards after mixing with many chaotic Shu Han soldiers.

As a general with both civil and military skills and rich battlefield experience. Jiang Bin keenly noticed the difference between the other party and his own soldiers. Then he ordered his own guards to shout and ask. As a result, Zhou Zhi, who saw the failure of the raid, immediately gave the order to attack.

One side has been planned for a long time, and the other side has been attacked suddenly. On one side is the 3,000 elites of the whole army, and on the other side, a large group of men and horses are all scattered, and only 300 people are left. So as soon as this encounter started, the Han army couldn't stop retreating again and again.

"Okay, General Jin is so bold that he dares to go deep into our army to carry out a sneak attack. Left and right, quickly shake the banner and warn the big Sima in the rear! ”

"Ah, General. The enemy is outnumbered, and we will fight to the death, but please ......."

"Hey! How could I, Jiang Bin, do such a thing? With a bang, he drew his sword: "Brothers, fight to the death!" ”

"Ho~~~ Fight to the death and not retreat!"

With Jiang Bin's chanting, the morale of the Han soldiers rose sharply, and everyone bravely faced an enemy ten times their size and launched a heroic battle.

However, in the end, the disparity in strength was too great, and soon, Jiang Bin's three hundred people were completely overwhelmed by Zhou Zhi's team.

"Whoa", slashed at the flagpole, and Jiang Bin's flag fell. After seeing the other party's banner clearly in the light of the fire, Zhou Zhi raised his sword and shouted: "Zhou Zhi, the general of the Great Jin Yamen, behead Jiang Bin, the general of Shu!" ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

"Brothers, go ahead and take down Guan Yi's head!"

"Huh~~~!"

Although it was a battlefield where tens of thousands of people shouted and killed, the sound of thousands of people chanting in unison still immediately attracted the attention of a considerable number of soldiers on this battlefield. Especially the officers and soldiers at all levels under Jiang Bin's command, after looking back and seeing that the generals of their own side were no longer in the flag, they couldn't help but sink their hearts! The movements in his hands also involuntarily slowed down.

However, this small fluctuation in sentiment was soon replaced by a more enthusiastic one. Because a bigger banner quickly appeared in their eyes, and the string of lanterns hanging next to the banner clearly illuminated the big characters on the flag: Han Da Sima Jiang!
